Precio, calidad y beneficios ambientales, factores de la demanda de llantas reencauchadas.

This research analyzes the factors that affect the demand for retreaded tires in the province of Azuay. The work is quantitative, exploratory, descriptive and correlational. Starting from a finite population of 24,964 study subjects, they belong to different sectors of commercial transport. The survey is applied as a measurement instrument with a likert scale of 5 options to a sample of 100 research subjects. Cronbach's Alpha for the general scale is 0.903. The research is non-probabilistic and intentional, non-experimental and cross-sectional. The findings found determine that price, quality and environmental benefits are strongly correlated with the demand for retread tires and are statistically significant. It is concluded that the demand is closely related to the study variables, and the environmental benefits contribute significantly to the sustainable economy of the region, minimizing its environmental impact.  La investigación analiza los factores que inciden en la demanda de llantas reencauchadas en la provincia del Azuay. El trabajo es de tipo cuantitativo, exploratorio, descriptivo y correlacional. Se parte de una población finita de 24.964 sujetos de estudio, mismos que pertenecen a diferentes sectores del transporte comercial. Se aplica la encuesta como instrumento de medición con una escala de likert de 5 opciones a una muestra de 100 sujetos de investigación. El Alpha de Cronbach para la escala general es 0,903. La investigación es no probabilística e intencional, no experimental y transversal. Los hallazgos encontrados determinan que el precio, la calidad y los beneficios ambientales tienen una fuerte correlación con la demanda de llantas reencauchadas y son estadísticamente significativos. Se concluye que la demanda está estrechamente relacionada con las variables de estudio, y los beneficios ambientales contribuyen significativamente con la economía sostenible de la región, minimizando su impacto ambiental

Notes for genera – Ascomycota

Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10--15 years, and continues to accelerate. Several genera have been found to be polyphyletic, and their generic concepts have subsequently been emended. New names have thus been introduced for species which are phylogenetically distinct from the type species of particular genera. The ending of the separate naming of morphs of the same species in 2011, has also caused changes in fungal generic names. In order to facilitate access to all important changes, it was desirable to compile these in a single document. The present article provides a list of generic names of Ascomycota (approximately 6500 accepted names published to the end of 2016), including those which are lichen-forming. Notes and summaries of the changes since the last edition of `Ainsworth Bisby's Dictionary of the Fungi' in 2008 are provided. The notes include the number of accepted species, classification, type species (with location of the type material), culture availability, life-styles, distribution, and selected publications that have appeared since 2008. This work is intended to provide the foundation for updating the ascomycete component of the ``Without prejudice list of generic names of Fungi'' published in 2013, which will be developed into a list of protected generic names. This will be subjected to the XIXth International Botanical Congress in Shenzhen in July 2017 agreeing to a modification in the rules relating to protected lists, and scrutiny by procedures determined by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF). The previously invalidly published generic names Barriopsis, Collophora (as Collophorina), Cryomyces, Dematiopleospora, Heterospora (as Heterosporicola), Lithophila, Palmomyces (as Palmaria) and Saxomyces are validated, as are two previously invalid family names, Bartaliniaceae and Wiesneriomycetaceae. Four species of Lalaria, which were invalidly published are transferred to Taphrina and validated as new combinations. Catenomycopsis Tibell Constant. is reduced under Chaenothecopsis Vain., while Dichomera Cooke is reduced under Botryosphaeria Ces. De Not. (Art. 59)
