Estudio de canales de distribución de nanoempresas dedicadas al cultivo de hortalizas de patio trasero en Valladolid, México
Get PDFThis article comes from a research project developed in Valladolid, Yucatán state, Mexico, applied to 8 nano-companies that are dedicated to growing vegetables in backyards where the objective was to determine the optimal distribution channels used for marketing. of the vegetables from their homes to the final consumer, for this a descriptive research was used, because the characteristics of the distribution channels of the vegetables were known and the situation of the company was diagnosed using two questionnaires: the first of them applied to the 52 microenterprises to know their degree of commercialization of vegetables coming from families (nanoenterprises) and the second to 69 people to know the desired purchasing channels. The results indicated that the main means of purchasing vegetables, ordered from highest to lowest proportion, are: local market, fruit shops and supermarket, also to a lesser extent directly from the producer, street vendor, retailers in the neighborhoods and convenience stores located in the neighborhoods. It is concluded that 50% of the nanocompanies move their products directly to the customer while the other 50% sell it through an intermediary, so the nanocompanies dedicated to the cultivation of backyard vegetables are not using the optimal distribution channels.El presente artículo proviene de un proyecto de investigación desarrollado en Valladolid, Yucatán, México, aplicado a ocho nanoempresas que se dedican al cultivo de hortalizas en los patios traseros. El objetivo fue determinar los canales de distribución óptimos que se emplean para la comercialización de las hortalizas desde sus hogares hasta el consumidor final. Para ello se realizó una investigación de tipo descriptivo, que permitiera conocer las características de los canales de distribución de las hortalizas y diagnosticar la situación de las empresas, empleando dos cuestionarios: el primero aplicado a 52 microempresas para conocer el grado de comercialización de hortalizas provenientes de familias (nanoempresas) y, el segundo, a 69 personas para conocer los canales deseados de compra. Los resultados indicaron que los principales medios de compra de hortalizas, ordenados de mayor a menor proporción, son: mercado local, fruterías y supermercado, y en menor grado: directamente del productor, vendedor ambulante, minoristas en las colonias y minisúper ubicados en las colonias. Como resultado, se encontró que el 50% de las nanoempresas mueven sus productos directamente hacia el cliente, mientras que el 50% restante lo comercializa con un intermediario, evidenciando que las nanoempresas dedicadas al cultivo de hortalizas de traspatio no están empleando de manera óptima los canales de distribució

Las mypes de latinoamérica ante la pandemia de covid: resultados de investigación en las micro y pequeñas empresas latinoamericanas
No full textLas pequeñas y medianas empresas (pymes) representan un alto porcentaje del total de empresas en los principales países de América Latina, como bien señala la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE, 2019) "la gran mayoría (99.5%) de las empresas de la región son pymes... son importantes generadores de empleo a nivel regional (60% del empleo productivo formal)", esto como resultado de un estudio realizado en siete economías latinas: México, Colombia, Perú y Ecuador; dichos datos resaltan la importancia de estas entidades en la economía de la región, sin embargo, no todo es ventajoso para pymes (2020) enumera ocho rubros que exponen grandes desventajas
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
