Estrategias de City Marketing para fortalecer la imagen del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Municipal del cantón Riobamba
El presente trabajo basó su desarrollo en la generación de estrategias de city marketing para fortalecer la imagen del Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado Municipal del cantón Riobamba. Para el logro de dichas metas se utilizaron varios métodos investigativos, siendo de tipo cualitativo porque se describieron cada uno de los componentes sociales, económicos y productivos del Plan de Desarrollo y Ordenamiento Territorial de Riobamba para así generar un diagnostico que permitió conocer la situación actual de la ciudad, así también fue cuantitativa de acuerdo a los datos levantados con la aplicación de entrevistas a personalidades que se encuentran dentro de los sectores productivos, económicos, políticos y administrativos de la ciudad, con todos los elementos y la información levantada se utilizó una metodología analítica que permitió delimitar los factores prioritarios o de gran relevancia que tiene la ciudad. Con el resultado del diagnóstico situacional y las entrevistas, se delimitaron los atributos de la ciudad, existiendo potencial a un nivel educativo, cultural, turístico y de conectividad, definiendo así, cuatro productos denominados: “Riobamba, Turismo Ecológico y Natural”; “Riobamba, Ciudad Universitaria por Excelencia”; “Riobamba, Mágica y Cultural”; “Riobamba Conecta al Ecuador”, cada uno estructurado con su objetivo, presupuesto enfocados al aumento de estrategias de gestión y operatividad del GAD Municipal de la ciudad. Riobamba posee varios atributos, los cuales pueden ser explotados de una manera sostenible, pudiendo ser estas estrategias propuestas aplicadas por las autoridades competentes como una alternativa que permita la consolidación de la imagen de la ciudad de Riobamba a un nivel nacional e internacional.The present work based its development on the generation of city marketing strategies to strengthen the image of Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado del Cantón Riobamba. To achieve these goals, several research methods were used, being of a qualitative nature because each of the social, economic and productive components of the Riobamba Developmnet and Land Management Plan were described in order to generate a diagnosis that made it possible to know the current situation of the city, likewise, was quantitative according to the data collected with the application of interviews and personalities that are within the productive, economic, political and administrative sectors of the city, with all the elements and information raised a methodology was used analytical that allowed to delimited the priority factors or of great importance that the city has.

Media and campaign effects on vote choice at national elections in Europe : a review of a multilingual research landscape
This article reviews the empirical research literature on campaign and media effects on vote choice at national elections in European countries for the post-World War II period. Particular efforts are undertaken to obtain a comprehensive picture by including publications in many different languages. With regard to the amount of research, but also the topics addressed, the survey reveals considerable differences between countries. Studies of campaign effects have focused on the temporal dynamics of campaigns, on the modes of campaign communications (such as personal contacts at the local level, advertising on TV and in the press or online social media) and on certain aspects of its content. Research on media effects has explored the role of partisan bias and certain topical categories of news (climate of opinion, issue and candidate coverage) as well as specific new media formats, notably televised candidate debates and vote advice applications (VAA). Overall, the review reveals that there is little in the way of an integrated and consolidated body of campaign and media effects research on national elections in Europe. While political communication research increasingly acknowledges the potential importance of news media and political parties’ electioneering for voting behaviour, there appears as of yet to be little convergence regarding approaches and research findings. Particularly striking is the degree to which research questions are guided by national institutional contexts
How Can the Health System Retain Women in HIV Treatment for a Lifetime? A Discrete Choice Experiment in Ethiopia and Mozambique
Introduction:
Option B+, an approach that involves provision of antiretroviral therapy (ART) to all HIV-infected pregnant women for life, is the preferred strategy for prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV. Lifelong retention in care is essential to its success. We conducted a discrete choice experiment in Ethiopia and Mozambique to identify health system characteristics preferred by HIV-infected women to promote continuity of care.
Methods:
Women living with HIV and receiving care at hospitals in Oromia Region, Ethiopia and Zambézia Province, Mozambique were shown nine choice cards and asked to select one of two hypothetical health facilities, each with six varying characteristics related to the delivery of HIV services for long term treatment. Mixed logit models were used to estimate the influence of six health service attributes on choice of clinics.
Results:
2,033 women participated in the study (response rate 97.8% in Ethiopia and 94.7% in Mozambique). Among the various attributes of structure and content of lifelong ART services, the most important attributes identified in both countries were respectful provider attitude and ability to obtain non-HIV health services during HIV-related visits. Availability of counseling support services was also a driver of choice. Facility type, i.e., hospital versus health center, was substantially less important.
Conclusions:
Efforts to enhance retention in HIV care and treatment for pregnant women should focus on promoting respectful care by providers and integrating access to non-HIV health services in the same visit, as well as continuing to strengthen counseling
Análisis del uso de ondas electromagnéticas en la irradiación del suelo para detectar y eliminar la presencia de nematodos
The plant-parasitic nematodes are responsible for heavy losses in agricultural production worldwide. This paper presents the analysis of an alternative control and detection of these microorganisms by use of electromagnetic waves. Was the experimental verification for the elimination, by the irradiation of magnetic field generated by an electromagnet fed by a pulsating variable current signal for various values of density of magnetic flux B. The mortality rate was observed at three values of magnetic flux density different to which resulted in a significant reduction in the number of nematodes against a sample control without radiation. For the detection of nematodes used algorithm of the finite-difference-domain (FDTD) weather led to a simulation in the MATLAB software, algorithm simulation allows to produce a certain incident wave that have contact with the micro-organism produces a variation in the amplitude of the radiated electric field wave which is reflected indicating the detection of the same two values of amplitude of incident wave was considered by checking the values of wave reflected for four micro-organisms with characteristics similar to the nematodes in different types of stadium.Los nematodos fitoparásitos son responsables de grandes pérdidas en la producción agrícola a nivel mundial. En este trabajo se presenta el análisis de una alternativa de control y detección de estos microorganismos haciendo uso de ondas electromagnéticas. Se realizó la comprobación experimental para la eliminación, mediante la irradiación de campo magnético generado por un electroimán alimentado por una señal pulsante de corriente variable para obtener diferentes valores de densidad de flujo magnético B. La tasa de mortalidad fue observada a tres valores de densidad de flujo magnético diferentes a los cuales se obtuvo como resultado una importante reducción en el número de nematodos frente a una muestra testigo sin irradiación. Para la detección de nematodos se utilizó el algoritmo de las diferencias finitas en el dominio del tiempo (FDTD) llevado a simulación en el software MATLAB, el algoritmo a través de la simulación permite producir una determinada onda incidente que al tener contacto con el microorganismo genera una variación en la amplitud de la onda de campo eléctrico irradiada la cual es reflejada indicando la detección del mismo, se consideró dos valores de amplitud de onda incidente verificando los valores de onda reflejada para cuatro microorganismos con características similares a la de los nematodos en diferentes tipos de estadio
