Óptica de revistas científicas iberoamericanas sobre principales errores en la presentación de artículos
Authors: Suárez-Amaya Wendolin , Ganga-Contreras Francisco , Pedraja-Rejas Liliana
Published: December 2020

Para los académicos representa todo un desafío publicar en revistas científicas, en tanto estas presentan cada vez mayores niveles de exigencia y rechazo. El presente trabajo se propone dar a conocer cuáles son los errores más frecuentes que se cometen en la elaboración de artículos científicos según la opinión de los miembros de revistas científicas. Con ese fin se aplicó un cuestionario con preguntas cerradas a una muestra intencionada de directores, editores, integrantes de comités y árbitros de revistas científicas en Iberoamérica. El tipo de investigación es comparativa y la perspectiva de análisis cuantitativa. Entre los resultados más relevantes destaca la diversidad de criterios conforme al rol que ocupan los encuestados en el proceso editorial; siendo los miembros de comités editoriales quienes señalan con mayor frecuencia problemas de presentación de las distintas partes de los trabajos, en comparación a lo que argumentan editores y árbitros. Se concluye que en la evaluación es determinante no solo atributos como originalidad, relevancia y rigurosidad, también, el cumplimiento de las normas y la redacción, por lo tanto, problemas de forma se conviertan en el fondo, es decir, el estilo de comunicación es determinante en la evaluación.
Elasticidades de corto y largo plazo en las importaciones de Ecuador
Authors: Villegas Pocaterra Esmeralda , Salazar Olives Gladys , Fernández Álava Vanessa , Mendoza García Jorge Gregorio
Published: December 2020

El estudio de las elasticidades de comercio es un tema central en la economía internacional. El propósito de este artículo es estimar las elasticidades de corto y largo plazo en las importaciones de Ecuador en el período 1960-2016. La evaluación empírica se basó en la técnica de análisis de cointegración y un modelo de corrección de errores a través de Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios. Los resultados permiten destacar que tanto en el corto y largo plazo, las importaciones son explicadas en gran medida por el gasto de consumo de los hogares y la inversión total. La elasticidad de las importaciones ante el consumo a largo plazo varía entre 0,36 y 1,11; mientras que la elasticidad de las importaciones ante la inversión total varía entre 0,23 y 0,44, asimismo tanto el enfoque de Engle y Granger, como el de Johansen para la cointegración confirman la relación de largo plazo entre las variables del modelo. Se concluye que, el desempeño del nivel de importaciones de Ecuador está muy asociado al consumo privado y a la inversión total en el periodo analizado, lo que permite visualizar el éxito en la introducción de productos competitivos o no en el mercado ecuatoriano.

Authors: González Alfaya Elena , Muñoz Moya Miguel , Cruz Pérez Ana , Olivares García María de los Ángeles
Published: December 2020

La construcción de la identidad docente ha sido estudiada desde diversas perspectivas teóricas, que han permitido conocer las diferentes dimensiones que la componen, así como el conjunto de factores y elementos que influyen en este proceso. El objetivo de este artículo consiste en identificar y analizar diversos aspectos que se entiende pueden afectar al proceso de construcción identitaria de los futuros docentes de educación infantil. Se presenta un estudio descriptivo, en el cual se analiza la evolución en la percepción de la adquisición de competencias profesionales durante el último curso del grado de maestro de educación infantil, a través de un cuestionario tipo Likert. Los resultados muestran un incremento en la percepción del nivel de adquisición de la mayoría de las competencias profesionales, sobre todo en aquellas relacionadas con la práctica y el domino de técnicas y estrategias, que facilitan la evaluación del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje, concluyendo que se debe a la influencia de los cambios metodológicos y estructurales que ha sufrido la formación inicial docente, la importancia de las competencias en el desarrollo del perfil formativo del futuro docente así como el papel que cumplen los escenarios reales de aprendizaje y la socialización profesional para el desarrollo de su identidad.
Medición de la pobreza multidimensional para la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia.
Authors: Muñetón Santa Guberney , Pineda Varela Laura , Keep Buitrago Juan Pablo
Published: December 2020

Eliminar la pobreza es un problema que enfrenta toda sociedad, en este sentido, pensar la forma de comprenderla y medirla es el reto principal de la política pública. Por tanto, en el presente artículo se propone un índice de pobreza multidimensional para la ciudad de Medellín, con el fin de servir como instrumento para la toma decisiones de política pública y aportar al monitoreo de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible 2030. Se sigue la metodología propuesta por Alkire y Foster, un método de conteo que identifica a los pobres de acuerdo a las privaciones que sufren. Entre los resultados, la medición realizada indica que para el año 2014 en Medellín, la incidencia de la pobreza fue de 20%; mientras el promedio de privaciones que experimentan las personas pobres es de 40%. En conclusión, las dimensiones de desescolarización y estándar de vida son la que más aportan a la explicación de la pobreza multidimensional de la población. Por lo tanto, se sugiere a la política pública institucionalizar una mediada multidimensional de pobreza con los datos que produce la ciudad.
Generación de emociones en la intención de compra
Authors: Tinoco-Egas Raquel , Juanatey-Boga Óscar , Martínez-Fernández Valentín Alejandro
Published: December 2020

El humor como recurso de persuasión emocional, puede crear armonía y conexión entre el mensaje de la marca y su público. Esta investigación exploratoria tiene como objetivo identificar los factores que generan intención de compra de productos de alta rotación, entre ellos la actitud a la publicidad y el recuerdo en un audiovisual publicitario. Se hace uso del análisis causal mediante el modelamiento de ecuaciones estructurales de mínimos cuadrados parciales, para identificar los pesos de los determinantes del modelo y estimar la intención de compra hacia las marcas. La actitud hacia la publicidad obtuvo un peso de 15% y el recuerdo de la marca 22.3%, lo que permite tener resultados tentativos sobre que la intención de compra hacia una marca se ve afectada tanto por la actitud hacia el video generado por la percepción de humor del audiovisual publicitario, así como por el recuerdo y actitud hacia la marca como conocimiento previo en la audiencia. Se concluye, que al momento de crear una campaña de marketing, la generación de emociones sobre el contenido de la publicidad del audiovisual como la percepción al contenido humorístico per se, no es suficiente para que exista una intención favorable de compra hacia una marca.
Desempleo juvenil y programas empleo en Andalucía ¿La formación como elemento clave?
Authors: Ricardo Manuel Zúñiga Guevara , Encarnación Soriano Ayala
Published: December 2020

Una de las consecuencias más directas de la crisis económica es su repercusión sobre el mercado laboral, especialmente entre el colectivo joven. El desempleo juvenil es una cuestión de suma complejidad que obliga a los poderes públicos y distintas administraciones a adoptar medidas de forma urgente diseñadas y planteadas específicamente para el colectivo en cuestión. La Comunidad Autónoma de Andalucía ha sido pionera en la aplicación de iniciativas europeas de empleo joven para dar respuesta inmediata y urgente al grave problema de desempleo juvenil que sufre. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el Programa Emple@Joven para determinar si el nivel formativo de los jóvenes desempleados tiene influencia en el acceso al programa y si es perceptible mejorar su empleabilidad, a través del análisis de datos estadísticos del programa y los obtenidos mediante encuesta. Entre los resultados destaca la baja cualificación de los entrevistados, lo cual penaliza claramente el acceso a distintas iniciativas de actuación, donde tan solo un 6,1% con perfil básico han logrado insertarse. Las principales conclusiones apuntan a la importancia de la formación como elemento clave para afrontar el arduo camino de la inserción laboral por parte de los jóvenes y la limitada mejora de la empleabilidad.
Desafíos de la información sistematizada y comunicación en el fortalecimiento de organizaciones públicas
Authors: Hernández Rangel María de Jesús , Martínez Hernández Melissa Lizbeth
Published: December 2020

Toda organización pública requiere de estructuras infotecnológicas que faciliten sus procesos y actualicen su funcionamiento, aunque muchas han invertido en tecnologías, aún permanecen estancadas en productividad y competitividad; una de las razones pudiera ser el no haber prestado atención al valor de la información, desde su sistematización hasta su gestión. Desde esta perspectiva, el objetivo del presente artículo es definir desafíos de la información sistematizada en el fortalecimiento de las organizaciones públicas, bajo una investigación teórica, mediante revisión de materiales bibliográficos y hemerográficos, relacionados con el objeto de estudio. Los resultados determinan la necesidad de sistematizar la información para su gestión, alinear la organización en red para conectarla en su totalidad y poder enfrentar los desafíos, entre ellos: Aprovechar información procesada para lograr transparencia, control y decisiones acertadas, compenetrar al funcionario público con un ambiente en red, convertir al ciudadano en datos y ofrecerle servicios que satisfagan sus necesidades, lograr eficacia y eficiencia para mejorar la gestión pública posicionando la organización en la sociedad. Se concluye, que el fortalecimiento de las organizaciones públicas permite transformar la estabilidad en dinamismo mediante la articulación, circulación y comunicación de información endógena y exógena mediante medios tecnológicos acertados y modernos desde una perspectiva integradora.
Conflictividad política, social e ideológica en Venezuela 2002-2003: Polarización y mediación internacional
Authors: Morales Manzur Juan Carlos
Published: December 2020

Desde el Pacto de Punto Fijo la historia política de Venezuela revela una cultura pragmática que privilegia el acuerdo como forma de cambio de situaciones de transición conflictivas para la sociedad venezolana. Este trabajo aborda la conflictividad política, social e ideológica que se presentó en Venezuela entre 2002 y 2003, analizando las causas de la misma y los hechos implícitos que generaron el golpe de Estado de abril de 2002, el cual evidenció la presencia de dos grupos antagónicos que deseaban prevalecer para imponer su visión del mundo político. Basándose en el método descriptivo-analítico, se estudia la racionalidad conflictiva imperante, determinando los actores, ideología, acontecimientos y las implicaciones subyacentes; y analizando los inicios de la mediación internacional y sus efectos. Entre los resultados destacan que la fractura del sistema político de la República puntofijista, el discurso del presidente Chávez y la articulación de su propuesta política, fueron factores determinantes del nuevo conflicto; enfrentando dos visiones políticas incompatibles, el socialismo revolucionario y la democracia liberal; concluyéndose que la realidad del país para la época era volátil, y la mediación tuvo que incorporarse a la dinámica coyuntural, dado el alto grado de polarización existente, aunque esta produjo un clima de aparente calma.
Who Calls the Shots? The Insiders and Outsiders of (Un)just Participation in Slovenian Elementary Schools
Authors: Boljka Urban , Rosič Jasmina , Narat Tamara
Published: December 2020

The article deals with inequalities in exercising the right to participate in elementary schools in Slovenia. We chiefly focus on the participation of children in various participatory practices such as class communities represented by class representatives, school communities in some cases represented by school representatives, the Children’s Parliament etc. Our findings (based on thematic analysis of 15 focus groups with 157 children) show that class representatives and forum participants are most often selected based on their personality traits (eloquent children actively involved in class and outside school activities, children with exemplary behaviour who are driven, independent, reliable, trusted and popular among classmates and teachers) and/or their high educational attainment. They are perceived to have better opportunities and talents than other children and, in principle, come from families which are not socio-economically deprived. On the contrary, pupils from disadvantaged socio-economic and cultural backgrounds, children with behavioural, emotional and learning difficulties do not receive the opportunity to actively participate and are (at best) merely represented. Using both the Rawlsian approach to the conceptualisation of justice (1971, 1999) and the recognition approach (Fraser, 2001), we assess whether the arrangement and practice of child participation in schools in Slovenia may be considered just. We argue that, according to the first approach, the arrangement of child participation in elementary schools in Slovenia can be considered just under certain conditions whereas, according to the second approach, less so. Child participation lacks substantive equality in participation outcomes even though in principle all children have the same right to participate.

Caladium Cultivars ‘Cosmic Delight’, ‘Fiesta’ and ‘Hearts Desire’
Authors: Deng Zhanao
Published: December 2020

Caladiums are commonly grown in containers, hanging baskets or planted directly in the landscape as accent and border plants. Florida growers supply the majority of the caladium tubers used throughout the United States and around the world. The University of Florida’s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) has maintained a caladium breeding program at the Gulf Coast Research and Education Center (GCREC). This program released three new caladium cultivars, ‘Cosmic Delight’, ‘Fiesta’, and ‘Hearts Desire’, in 2015. This publication describes the origin and plant characteristics of these new cultivars, their tuber yield potential in production trials, and plant performances in container and landscape trials. These new cultivar introductions will be valuable to the Florida caladium tuber-production industry, the greenhouse/nursery industries, and commercial landscape maintenance companies.

Food Safety on the Farm: Good Agricultural Practices and Good Handling Practices – Field Sanitation
Authors: Lepper Jessica A. , De Jaysankar , Sreedharan Aswathy , Goodrich Schneider Renée , Schneider Keith R.
Published: December 2020

Good agricultural practices (GAPs) and good handling practices (GHPs) encompass the general procedures that growers, packers and processors of fresh fruits and vegetables should follow to ensure the safety of their product. GAPs usually deal with preharvest practices (i.e., in the field), while GHPs cover postharvest practices, including packing and shipping. This factsheet covers harvest practices associated with sanitation in the field. There are seven other Florida Cooperative Extension factsheets in the ‘Food Safety on the Farm’ series focusing on specific aspects of the GAPs program and how they relate to Florida crops and practices.
Under the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), GAPs are foundation of the Produce Safety Rule (PSR). Other than for round tomatoes in Florida (T-GAPs regulation), GAPs have mainly been a voluntary program. Additionally the PSR mandates all non-exempt operations to follow these new FSMA federal guidelines (9), but all exempt commodities and for those producers exporting to foreign countries, GAPs may still be required. Both the mandatory PSR and GAPs aim to reduce the foodborne illness burden associated with produce.

Managing Whiteflies on Landscape Ornamentals
Authors: Buss Eileen A. , Mannion Catherine M. , Osborne Lance S. , Dale Adam G.
Published: December 2020

Whiteflies are a common pest of many ornamental plants throughout Florida and the world. There are more than 1,500 species worldwide and over 75 reported in Florida. Some of the most economically important species in Florida are the sweetpotato whitefly, also called the silverleafwhitefly (Bemisia tabaci), the ficus whitefly (Singhiella simplex), and the citrus whitefly (Dialeurodes citri). Although infestation does not always require treatment, it is important to be able to identify and monitor for these pests for effective integrated pest management. This 8-page fact sheet describes whitefly species, their identification and biology, the damage they cause, and best management practices to control them and still maintain healthy populations of natural enemies and other beneficial insects.
Worker Protection Standard: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) 2016
Authors: Fishel Frederick M.
Published: December 2020

In 1992, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a comprehensive regulation called the Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides (WPS). The WPS covers pesticides used in the outdoor and enclosed space production of plants on farms, forests, and nurseries, as well as greenhouses. The WPS requires agricultural employers to take steps to reduce pesticide-related risks when agricultural workers and pesticide handlers are exposed to these pesticides. The EPA has made several changes to the WPS since it was fully implemented in 1995. On November 2, 2015, the EPA revised the WPS, making significant changes to the rule’s requirements. This document includes those changes related to personal protective equipment (PPE).

Florida Rosemary, Ceratiola ericoides
Authors: Miller Debbie , Thetford Mack , Verlinde Chris , Campbell Gabriel , Smith Ashlynn
Published: December 2020

Florida rosemary is important in maintaining back dune structures and is found inland in scrub communities. This plant is found throughout scrub plant communities in Florida, and more broadly is found west to Mississippi and east to South Carolina in xeric soils and in communities with fire return intervals of 20 to 40 years. Plants are killed by fire and storm surge events, but seeds germinate readily post-disturbance. Its fruit is an important food source for wildlife but is not produced until plants are at least 12 years old.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg164

Seacoast Marshelder, Iva imbricata
Authors: Miller Debbie , Thetford Mack , Verlinde Chris , Campbell Gabriel , Smith Ashlynn
Published: December 2020

Seacoast marshelder is an important plant for dune restoration, stabilization, and formation because of itsability to trap sand. It grows on foredunes and forms low, rounded dunes as sand accumulates (Craig 1991). As the aboveground portions of the plant become buried by sand, rooting is stimulated in stem tissue (Craig 1975). This gives the appearance that the plant is rhizomatous when in fact it is the sand burial resulting in the presence of below-ground stems. This plant occurs throughout coastal Florida (except for the Big Bend coast) and in coastal southeastern states west to Texas and northeast to Virginia.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg174

Wax Myrtle, Morella cerifera Synonym: Myrica cerifera
Authors: Miller Debbie , Thetford Mack , Verlinde Chris , Campbell Gabriel , Smith Ashlynn
Published: December 2020

Wax myrtle is one the most widespread plants in Florida, and it is found in coastal states west to Texas and north to New Jersey. The wax found around seeds can be melted down to make candles. The fruits of wax myrtle are important for birds and other wildlife, and the plant is a larval host for the banded hairstreak and redbanded hairstreak butterflies (Satyrium calanus and Calycopis cecrops, respectively) (Lotts and Naberhaus 2017). Wax myrtle has been shown to contribute substantial nitrogen addition to soils via symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing microorganisms residing in soils (Permar and Fisher 1983).https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg176

Coastal Groundcherry, Physalis angustifolia
Authors: Miller Debbie , Thetford Mack , Verlinde Chris , Campbell Gabriel , Smith Ashlynn
Published: December 2020

Coastal groundcherry occurs on beach dunes, coastal grasslands, coastal scrub, and disturbed areas. This plantis found throughout coastal counties on the west coast of Florida—except for the Big Bend region and the extreme southeasternmost counties—and more broadly west to Louisiana. Threatened and endangered beach mice and many other animals rely on this plant as a food source. Plants can be longed-lived and form relatively thick tuberous roots. Coastal groundcherry can hybridize with other Physalis species, particularly with P. viscosa, and has long frustrated plant taxonomists because of the inherent variation within the genus (Sullivan 1985).https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg180

Gulf Bluestem, Maritime Bluestem, Schizachyrium maritimum
Authors: Miller Debbie , Thetford Mack , Verlinde Chris , Campbell Gabriel , Smith Ashlynn
Published: December 2020

Gulf bluestem occurs throughout the Florida Panhandle and in neighboring coastal states. Gulf bluestem helpsstabilize dunes, forms thick stands in areas leeward of slopes (Craig 1991), replaces sea oats as the dominant species on protected foredunes behind a seaward ridge after 2 to 17 years (Johnson 1997), and occurs throughout flatwoods and disturbed areas. This plant is very closely related to little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), and its taxonomic position is not entirely agreed upon by taxonomists; hence information may also be located using the taxonomic synonym Schizachyrium scoparium var. scoparium.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/sg184

Raising Soil Organic Matter Content to Improve Water Holding Capacity
Authors: Bhadha Jehangir H. , Capasso Jay M. , Khatiwada Raju , Swanson Stewart , LaBorde Christopher
Published: December 2020

This article highlights the importance of raising soil organic matter in sandy and calcareous soils as it relates to increasing the water holding capacity of the soil. Farming in Florida on sandy soils has numerous limiting factors; one of which is it's low water holding capacity. By raising the soil organic matter content by just 1% can have a significant increase in soil water holding capacity. This would mean that soil would be able to hold more water for long durations. The prospect of increasiong water holding capacity in soils is great for agricultural productivity, and can have a significant impact on water conservation and usage.

Communicating with Extension Clients about Water
Authors: Lamm Alexa J. , Stokes Phillip S. , Roper Caroline G.
Published: December 2020

The conservation and preservation of natural resources is one of the most pressing issues facing the nation today (Gregory & Di Leo, 2003). Among these natural resource issues are the issues of water quality and quantity. Water is one of the most important resources in the United States, and is especially important in Florida. Not only is Florida a specialty crop state, but the Florida economy also depends highly on tourism and recreation, both of which thrive on water. Water impacts Florida’s tourism, agriculture, retail, and real estate development industries, all of which significantly contribute to Florida’s economy (Odera, Lamm, Dukes, Irani, & Carter, 2013).

As the U.S. and Florida populations continue to increase and the demand for fresh, clean water rises, water quality and quantity issues will become increasingly important. Extension faculty should understand public opinion surrounding water issues and identify the information that needs to be communicated to the public about water issues, as well as the best mode for this communication. By understanding public opinion and topics of interest surrounding water quantity and quality, as well as Florida residents’ preferred communication methods, Extension faculty will be able to communicate more effectively with clients about water.

The issues associated with water quantity and quality are of ever-increasing importance, and are considered a priority by UF/IFAS Extension. Enhancing and protecting water quality, quantity, and supply is considered a high-priority initiative in the 2013–2023 Florida Extension Roadmap. This EDIS publication will provide an overview of how to communicate with Florida residents about water, including information about their preferred communication method and what topics surrounding water Florida residents find of interest. This publication will better equip Extension faculty to discuss water quantity and quality issues with Florida residents.
