    This research examined the problems experienced by women who work in the informal sector of the city of Riobamba due to receiving poor and lower incomes than men. The main objective was to analyze the influence that gender has on wages of women in this sector, to establish strategies that can promote more equitable development. Qualitative and quantitative approaches were used using inductive and deductive methods. Data were collected through a survey and analyzed using the Chi square test. The results showed that women's wages were dependent on their gender, conditioned by a sociocultural environment that has not evolved, especially in the informal sectors made up mostly of rural population. Also, the presence of child labor was evident, and wages could not cover the basic needs of women who identified as heads of household with family responsibilities of between three to five people. The strategy identified to promote equity in the recognition and value of fair work without distinction of gender was based on the following elements: the implementation of inclusion policies and control, training of young women in non-traditional trades, promotion of changes in traditional patterns in households, and policies to combat poverty with a gender focus for sustainable social development. Keywords: gender, equity, salary, strategies, socioeconomic, management. Resumen La investigación plantea la problemática que viven las mujeres que trabajan en el sector informal de la ciudad de Riobamba debido a su condición de género para percibir ingresos deficientes e inferiores a los hombres, el objetivo principal es analizar la incidencia que tiene el género en el salario de las mujeres de este sector para el establecimiento de estrategias que promuevan un desarrollo más equitativo. La metodología investigativa considera estudios analíticos, correlacionales, exploratorios, de campo, un enfoque cuali- cuantitativo, con métodos inductivos y deductivos, usando técnicas como la encuesta, considerado la relación de dependencia a través del Chi cuadrado para la comprobación de la hipótesis, como resultados principales se puede encontrar que la incidencia del género en los salarios de las mujeres es dependiente, condicionado por un ambiente sociocultural que no ha evolucionado sobre todo en los sectores informales conformados en su mayoría por población rural, se evidencia la presencia del trabajo infantil y salarios que no pueden cubrir las necesidades básicas de mujeres que se identifican como jefes de hogar con cargas familiares de entre 3 a 5 personas, se plantea como solución la estrategia para promover la equidad en el reconocimiento y puesta en valor del trabajo equitativo sin distinción de género basada en 5 elementos: la implementación de políticas de inclusión y control, la capacitación de las jóvenes en oficios no tradicionales, promoción de cambios de patrones tradicionales en los hogares, políticas de combate a la pobreza con enfoque de género para un desarrollo social sustentable.

    Some taxes may limit microeconomic growth. A greater growth of SMEs that use RISE as part of their administration, especially grocery stores, has been identified in the commercial sector in the city of Macas, Morona canton, Morona Santiago province, Ecuador. This has led to a lack of knowledge about their profitability because the nature of the tax can lead to reduced use of accounting tools. Therefore, the objective of this research was to analyze the accounting administration of RISE and its impact on the profitability of these businesses, and to propose the design of a tool that could contribute to the development of efficient management of the local microeconomic businesses. A deductive quantitative approach was used and data were collected through a survey and interviews. The Chi square test was used to analyze the results. According to the findings, the limitations faced by businesses that use this tax included the generation of monthly income that does not cover the monthly basic basket. Based on the results, we proposed a strategy for the efficient management of the microeconomy that is made up of four tools: conscious strategic planning, administration without tax barriers, efficient accounting tools, and the sustainable development of the company. Keywords: administration, accounting, microeconomics, RISE, management, taxation. Resumen Algunos impuestos pueden limitar el crecimiento microeconómico, en la ciudad de Macas, cantón Morona, provincia de Morona Santiago, Ecuador se ha identificado un mayor crecimiento de PYMEs del sector comercial, de manera especial tiendas de abastos quienes utilizan el RISE como parte de su administración, lo que ha provocado un deficiente conocimiento real de su rentabilidad debido a la naturaleza misma del impuesto que lleva a un uso deficiente y casi nulo de los las herramientas contables, el trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la administración contable del RISE y su incidencia en la rentabilidad de estos negocios que permitan el diseño de una herramienta que aporte al desarrollo de la gestión eficiente de la microeconomía local, se analizan datos obtenidos a partir de un estudio de tipo deductivo de enfoque cuantitativo, metodología de tipo analítico, correlacional, de campo que aplica instrumentos la recolección de información como la encuesta y entrevista, determina la dependencia de las variables identificadas a través del Chi cuadrado, e identifica como parte de los resultados las limitaciones a las que los negocios que utilizan este impuesto tienen como es la generación de ingresos mensuales que no llegan a cubrir la canasta básica mensual; plantea como parte de la solución al problema la Estrategia para la gestión eficiente de la Microeconomía que se compone cuatro herramientas: la planificación estratégica consciente, administración sin barreras tributarias, herramientas contables eficientes, el desarrollo sustentable de la empresa.

    An electrochromic ionic liquid: design, characterisation and performance in a solid state platform

    Get PDF
    This work describes the synthesis and characteristics of a novel electrochromic ionic liquid (IL) based on a phosphonium core tethered to a viologen moiety. When integrated into a solid-state electrochromic platform, the viologen modified IL behaved as both the electrolyte and the electrochromic material. Platform fabrication was achieved through in situ photo-polymerisation and encapsulation of this novel IL within a hybrid sol-gel. Important parameters of the platform performance, including its coloration efficiency, switching kinetics and optical properties were characterised using UV/Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry in tandem. The electrochromic platform exhibits a coloration efficiency of 10.72 cm2C-1, and a varied optical output as a function of the incident current. Despite the rather viscous nature of the material, the platform exhibited approximately two orders of magnitude faster switching kinetics (221 seconds to reach 95 % absorbance) when compared to previously reported electrochromic ILs (18,000 seconds)

    No abstract available. Article truncated after the first page. A 59 year-old woman with a 40 pack-year smoking history was referred to our practice with a 2.5 cm spiculated right upper lobe lung nodule for a diagnostic bronchoscopy. We performed electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy under general anesthesia in the operating room. After successfully navigating to the lesion and obtaining 3 needle biopsy samples and two cytology brush samples we lost target alignment. After attempting to rotate and reposition the catheter several times it was decided to re-navigate from the trachea. Two images comparing virtual navigation to real anatomy during the first and second navigation attempts are provided bellow (Figures 1 and 2). Why are the virtual images different? 1. It is an artifact from respiratory movements; 2. The locatable guide is outside the sensing volume; 3. You should suspect a pneumothorax; 4. Your registration procedure was suboptimal, you should repeat it. ..

    In the coastal tropics and subtropical regions, fragile ecosystems such as deltas, mangrove forests, and swamps are common, whose ecological stability strictly depends on the quality management of hydrological resources at the basin level. The National Hydrographic Basin Council in Cuba, protect the hydrographic basins, considered as the reference unit for the integrated management of water resources. Moreover, the council aims at preventing negative impacts on of these vital ecosystems for their key services to the overall social and economic wellbeing. As an example, the Zaza River basin in the of Province of Sancti Spiritus, the mangrove forest is suffering from significant decay, in particular on the southern coasts. A significant improvement of the water resources sustainable management in Cuba, is a more reliable and timely monitoring. Considering the extreme conditions and the limited accessibility of mangroves, remote sensing and others earth observations techniques represents a suitable tool for monitoring the mangrove forest in coastal areas. In our study, we used a set of 10 multispectral Landsat – 8 OLI images from November 2014 to December 2015. By collecting campaigns on mangroves’ phenology, we have: 1) studied the relationships between phenology and spectral behavior of species; and, 2) set up a classification framework to assess the forests composition remotely, with special attention to mangroves. The methodology here implemented could be effectively applied in all coastal natural ecosystems of this island to improve the knowledge about the critical issues of these very fragile ecosystems

    Off-specular X-ray scattering studies of the morphology of thin films

    No full text
    We discuss the scattering of X-rays from thin films at a surface or interface decorated with a morphology of islands and how these effects manifest themselves in the specular reflectivity and the diffuse (off-specular) scattering. We show how this technique has been used to study block copolymer films decorated with islands on the surface and the development of electrochemically induced pitting on a Cu electrode in an electrolyte solution

    In this paper a brief survey is given of the properties of non-aqueous electrolyte solutions and their applications in chemistry and technology without going into the details of theory. Specific solvent-solute interactions and the role of the solvent beyond its function as a homogenous isotropic medium are stressed. Taking into account Parker's statement1) ldquoScientists nowadays are under increasing pressure to consider the relevance of their research, and rightly sordquo we have included examples showing the increasing industrial interest in non-aqueous electrolyte solutions. The concepts and results are arranged in two parts. Part A concerns the fundamentals of thermodynamics, transport processes, spectroscopy and chemical kinetics of non-aqueous solutions and some applications in these fields. Part B describes their use in various technologies such as high-energy batteries, non-emissive electro-optic displays, photoelectrochemical cells, electrodeposition, electrolytic capacitors, electro-organic synthesis, metallurgic processes and others. Four Appendices are added. Appendix A gives a survey on the most important non-aqueous solvents, their physical properties and correlation parameters, and the commonly used abbreviations. Appendices B and C show the mathematical background of the general chemical model. The Symbols and abbreviations of the text are listed and explained in Appendix D
