Plan estratégico del subsector de transporte interprovincial de pasajeros (omnibus) en Piura

La presente tesis elabora el plan estratégico del subsector de transporte interprovincial de pasajeros (ómnibus) en Piura, que tiene por finalidad impulsar su desarrollo sostenible y lograr un enfoque integral para el transporte interprovincial en un horizonte de 15 años. Piura es una región exportadora de harina de pescado, limones, plátanos, aceites vegetales, mangos, uvas y conchas de abanico; asimismo, es exportadora de materias primas agrícolas, industria minera, hidrocarburos, construcción, turismo y gastronomía. Todas estas actividades han permitido que Piura crezca económicamente en los últimos años; sin embargo, el subsector de transporte interprovincial de pasajeros (ómnibus) no ha crecido al mismo nivel. Esto ha ocasionado que se generen debilidades en los factores económico, social y medioambiental. Este subsector tiene posibilidades de crecer en forma sostenible a nivel regional; no obstante, existen limitaciones que aún deben superarse, tales como el crecimiento del mercado informal, la falta de visión estratégica de las empresas de transporte interprovincial, los altos costos operativos y la inadecuada regulación de la ley del servicio del transporte interprovincial. Tras el análisis de las fuerzas identificadas, se sugiere una estrategia genérica competitiva de enfoque en costos, sin perjuicio a la calidad, seguridad y protección del medio ambiente. Esta estrategia permitirá alcanzar la visión propuesta para el transporte interprovincial de pasajeros (ómnibus) en Piura. Para implementar este plan estratégico, se requiere de los siguientes elementos: (a) grado de inversión, (b) infraestructura, (c) leyes regulatorias para el medio ambiente, (d) aplicación de fuertes medidas para combatir la informalidad, y (e) integración de los actores del transporte interprovincial, bajo un organismo que permita desarrollar estrategias y tomar decisiones en forma conjunta. Por lo tanto, la creación de un clúster permitirá mejorar la competitividad y rentabilidad del subsector de transporte interprovincial de pasajeros en la región Piura.The following study develops the strategic plan for the interprovincial transport subsector in Piura which aims to boost its sustainable development and achieve a comprehensive approach for the interprovincial transport sector in the next 15 years. Piura is a region that exports fishmeal, lemons, bananas, vegetable oils, mangoes, grapes and scallops; also it exports agricultural raw materials, mining industry, hydrocarbons, construction, tourism and gastronomy. All these activities have allowed Piura to grow economically in the last few years; however, the interprovincial passenger transport subsector (buses) has not grown at the same rate. This has brought about weaknesses to develop in the economic, social and environmental factors. This subsector has possibilities of growing in a sustainable manner and also regionally; nevertheless there are limitations that must be overcome, such as the growth of the informal market, the lack of strategic vision of the interprovincial transport companies, the high operating costs and the inadequate regulation of the interprovincial transport law. After the analysis of the identified forces, a generic competitive strategy focusing on costs is suggested, notwithstanding the quality, security and protection of the environment. This strategy will allow us the reaching of the proposed vision for the interprovincial passenger transport in Piura. In order to implement this strategic plan the following elements are required: (a) investment grade, (b) infrastructure, (c) regulatory laws for the environment, (d) the enforcement of strong measures to fight the informal sector, and (e) the integration of all the stakeholders in interprovincial transport, under an organism that will allow strategies to be developed and decisions to be taken jointly. The creation of a cluster will therefore allow an improvement in the competitiveness and profitability of the interprovincial passenger subsector in the Piura region.Tesi

COVIDiSTRESS Global Survey dataset on psychological and behavioural consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak

This N = 173,426 social science dataset was collected through the collaborative COVIDiSTRESS Global Survey - an open science effort to improve understanding of the human experiences of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic between 30th March and 30th May, 2020. The dataset allows a cross-cultural study of psychological and behavioural responses to the Coronavirus pandemic and associated government measures like cancellation of public functions and stay at home orders implemented in many countries. The dataset contains demographic background variables as well as measures of Asian Disease Problem, perceived stress (PSS-10), availability of social provisions (SPS-10), trust in various authorities, trust in governmental measures to contain the virus (OECD trust), personality traits (BFF-15), information behaviours, agreement with the level of government intervention, and compliance with preventive measures, along with a rich pool of exploratory variables and written experiences. A global consortium from 39 countries and regions worked together to build and translate a survey with variables of shared interests, and recruited participants in 47 languages and dialects. Raw plus cleaned data and dynamic visualizations are available.Measurement(s) psychological measurement center dot anxiety-related behavior trait center dot Stress center dot response to center dot Isolation center dot loneliness measurement center dot Emotional Distress Technology Type(s) Survey Factor Type(s) geographic location center dot language center dot age of participant center dot responses to the Coronavirus pandemic Sample Characteristic - Organism Homo sapiens Sample Characteristic - Location global Machine-accessible metadata file describing the reported data:Peer reviewe

Stress and worry in the 2020 coronavirus pandemic : relationships to trust and compliance with preventive measures across 48 countries in the COVIDiSTRESS global survey

The COVIDiSTRESS global survey collects data on early human responses to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic from 173 429 respondents in 48 countries. The open science study was co-designed by an international consortium of researchers to investigate how psychological responses differ across countries and cultures, and how this has impacted behaviour, coping and trust in government efforts to slow the spread of the virus. Starting in March 2020, COVIDiSTRESS leveraged the convenience of unpaid online recruitment to generate public data. The objective of the present analysis is to understand relationships between psychological responses in the early months of global coronavirus restrictions and help understand how different government measures succeed or fail in changing public behaviour. There were variations between and within countries. Although Western Europeans registered as more concerned over COVID-19, more stressed, and having slightly more trust in the governments' efforts, there was no clear geographical pattern in compliance with behavioural measures. Detailed plots illustrating between-countries differences are provided. Using both traditional and Bayesian analyses, we found that individuals who worried about getting sick worked harder to protect themselves and others. However, concern about the coronavirus itself did not account for all of the variances in experienced stress during the early months of COVID-19 restrictions. More alarmingly, such stress was associated with less compliance. Further, those most concerned over the coronavirus trusted in government measures primarily where policies were strict. While concern over a disease is a source of mental distress, other factors including strictness of protective measures, social support and personal lockdown conditions must also be taken into consideration to fully appreciate the psychological impact of COVID-19 and to understand why some people fail to follow behavioural guidelines intended to protect themselves and others from infection. The Stage 1 manuscript associated with this submission received in-principle acceptance (IPA) on 18 May 2020. Following IPA, the accepted Stage 1 version of the manuscript was preregistered on the Open Science Framework at https://osf.io/g2t3b.
