Turismo y género: las dinámicas laborales de la mujer en el sector turístico de la ciudad de Cuenca, Ecuador
No full textEsta investigación aborda la necesidad de comprender las desigualdades de género en el sector laboral de la ciudad de Cuenca, particularmente en la industria turística. Surge ante la falta de estudios de género en la ciudad, pese a la notable presencia femenina en el sector. Su principal objetivo es analizar las dinámicas laborales de las mujeres en la industria turística, enfocándose en Cuenca, Ecuador, como caso de estudio. Se enfoca en la identificación de las brechas laborales de género desde una perspectiva teórica y examina las dinámicas laborales de las mujeres tanto en puestos de jerarquía como en roles operativos. Este análisis permitió identificar las disparidades de género en las actividades laborales del sector turístico de Cuenca. Adoptando un enfoque cualitativo, exploratorio-descriptivo y de corte transversal, se emplearon entrevistas semiestructuradas y grupos focales para entender la situación laboral de las mujeres en varios sectores turísticos y la percepción masculina ante este problema. Los resultados demostraron que, aunque las mujeres han hecho avances significativos en términos de participación laboral, aún se enfrentan a desafíos persistentes en cuanto a la equidad de género en los roles de liderazgo y de toma de decisiones. En contraposición, en los roles no jerárquicos u operativos, las mujeres pueden estar sobrerrepresentadas, especialmente en industrias y roles tradicionalmente feminizados.
Palabras clave: mujeres, turismo, equidad de género, brechas laborales, Cuenca EcuadorThis research addresses the need to understand gender inequalities in the labor sector of the city of Cuenca, particularly in the tourism industry. It arises from the lack of gender studies in the city, despite the notable presence of women in the sector. Its main objective is to analyze the labor dynamics of women in the tourism industry, focusing on Cuenca, Ecuador, as a case study. It focuses on identifying gender labor gaps from a theoretical perspective and examines women's labor dynamics in both senior and operational roles. This analysis allowed to identify gender disparities in labor activities in the tourism sector of Cuenca. Adopting a qualitative, exploratory-descriptive and cross-sectional approach, semi-structured interviews and focus groups were used to understand the employment situation of women in various tourism sectors and the male perception of this problem. The results showed that although women have made significant progress in terms of labor participation, they still face persistent challenges in terms of gender equity in leadership and decision-making roles. In contrast, in non-hierarchical or operational roles, women may be overrepresented, especially in traditionally feminized industries and roles.

Guía para la manipulación y expendio de alimentos preparados en los patios de comidas de los mercados del casco urbano de la ciudad de Cuenca aplicado al mercado 12 de abril
No full textLa gastronomía tradicional y típica de un país se ve reflejada en los diferentes mercados, donde se destinan lugares específicos para que la población pueda ofertar a nacionales y extranjeros diferentes platillos y bebidas que demuestran la cultura. En el caso de Cuenca, Ecuador existen varios mercados en la parte urbana y rural, siendo los de mayor afluencia los de la parte urbana donde se evidencia gran afluencia de consumidores. No obstante, existe una preocupación persistente en cuanto a las buenas prácticas de manipulación y expendio, debido a los escasos controles realizados por las entidades pertinentes. De ahí surge la presente investigación que tiene como objetivo desarrollar una propuesta para la manipulación y expendio de alimentos preparados en los patios de comidas de los mercados del casco urbano de la ciudad de Cuenca, aplicada al Mercado 12 de Abril. Para cumplir con tal objetivo se realizaron encuestas a los comerciales y entrevistas a las autoridades para evidenciar las prácticas y controles que se realizan en la manipulación y venta de alimentos. Los resultados evidencian que la falta de control en todos los puestos y de aplicación de BPM por gran parte de los comerciantes, a pesar de ello no se realizan capacitaciones al respecto, sino se busca capacitar sobre servicio al cliente.
Palabras clave: mercado, patios de comida, BPM, propuestaThe traditional and typical gastronomy of a country is reflected in the different markets, where specific places are allocated so that the population can offer nationals and foreigners different dishes and drinks that demonstrate the culture. In the case of Cuenca, Ecuador, there are several markets in the urban and rural areas, the most affluent being those in the urban area where there is a large influx of consumers. However, there is a persistent concern regarding good handling and dispensing practices, due to the few controls carried out by the relevant entities. From there arises the present investigation that aims to develop a proposal for the handling and sale of food prepared in the food courts of the markets of the urban area of the city of Cuenca, applied to the Mercado 12 de Abril. In order to fulfill this objective, surveys were carried out with the commercials and interviews with the authorities to demonstrate the practices and controls that are carried out in the handling and sale of food. The results show that the lack of control in all positions and of the application of BPM by a large part of the merchants, despite this, training is not carried out in this regard, but training on customer service is sought.

Evaluación de iluminancia en canchas públicas localizadas en el área urbana de la ciudad de Cuenca
No full textIn the urban areas of the city of Cuenca, Ecuador, there are public sport courts and fields, with free access for citizens to perform different recreational activities. These areas are used on certain days of the week with restricted schedules during the night time. For this purpose, they are equipped with a lighting system, which lighting provision is the reason for this research. This paper starts with a description of the legal responsibilities for public lighting provision in public sports fields, which in these cases, falls to the Municipality of Cuenca, legally named “Decentralized Autonomous Government of the Canton Cuenca”. Then, the architecture of these public areas as well as their lighting systems are described. Following, it presents the methodology used to obtain the average horizontal illuminance on the surfaces of the analyzed areas. After that, it analyses the lighting levels by comparing them with the mean illuminance values recommended in the “Technical Regulation on Lighting and Public Lighting - RETILAP”, for this type of sport areas. Finally, it presents the conclusions and recommendations.En la ciudad de Cuenca del Ecuador, en su área urbana existen canchas deportivas públicas, de libre acceso para la ciudadanía y para un nivel de juego de carácter recreativo.

En el presente trabajo se describen inicialmente las responsabilidades jurídicas de la prestación del servicio de alumbrado público en canchas deportivas públicas que en estos casos recae sobre el Municipio de Cuenca, denominado legalmente “Gobierno Autónomo Descentralizado del Cantón Cuenca”, luego de lo cual se describe la arquitectura de estos espacios públicos así como sus sistemas de iluminación, y posteriormente indica la metodología empleada para la obtención de la iluminancia horizontal media sobre las superficies de los escenariosanalizados, posteriormente analiza los niveles de iluminación comparando con valores de iluminancia media recomendados en el “Reglamento Técnico de Iluminación y Alumbrado Público – RETILAP”, para este tipo de escenarios deportivos y finalmente presenta conclusiones y recomendaciones
Prevalencia de asma y su relación con la contaminación del medio externo en los niños y niñas de 2 a 5 años en los centros de desarrollo infantil municipales de la ciudad de Cuenca, 2012
No full textObjetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de asma y su asociación con la contaminación del medio externo en niños y niñas de 2 a 5 años en los centros de desarrollo infantil municipales de la ciudad de Cuenca. 2012. Metodología: Se trató de un estudio transversal llevado a cabo en los niños y niñas de 2 a 5 años de los centros de desarrollo infantil municipales de la ciudad de Cuenca. Para el estudio del asma se utilizó la encuesta ISAAC adaptada, además una encuesta para la recolección de datos demográficos. Los niveles de contaminantes externos fueron extraídos de los informes de la red de monitoreo de la calidad de aire de Cuenca. Resultados: La media de edad se ubicó en 43,87 meses, la prevalencia de asma activo en 39,5%;La distribución de los contaminantes externos fue la siguiente: tráfico vehicular pesado el 8,9%; ubicación de la vivienda en zonas industriales en un 1,1%; presencia de fábricas o industrias a menos de 300 metros de la vivienda en un 18,1%; niveles de SO2 por encima de la norma ambiental en un 60,5%; niveles de NO2 del 28,4% niveles de Ozono 0% y niveles de partículas en suspensión mayores a la norma ambiental del 8,9%.Partículas en suspensión (PS) se comportó como factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de asma con una RP 1,55 (IC 95% 1,07-2,25; p menor que 0,05). La prevalencia de prematuridad fue del 21,8%; de alimentación mixta o de fórmula un 51,7% y antecedente familiar de asma de 26,6% éste último aumenta el riesgo de asma en 1,52 veces (IC 95% 1,14-2,03; p menor que 0,05). Conclusiones: En nuestra población los antecedentes familiares de asma y niveles por encima de la norma ambiental de PS aumentan el riesgo de asma.auAsthma is considered one of the most frequent health problems. The ISAAC study in Latin America revealed the prevalence of asthma in 5 to 20% of children. Exposure to external pollutants is one factor associated with the increase of incidents of asthma because it modifies the pulmonary response to environmental triggers.
Objective: The objective is to determine the prevalence of asthma in children 2 to 5 years who are attending Cuenca’s public daycare and its relationship with environmental pollutants.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study in children 2 to 5 years who attend public daycare centers in the city of Cuenca. The ISAAC questionnaire and a general questionnaire for collection of demographic data were used. External pollutants data was extracted from the reports of the Monitoring Network Air Quality of the Municipality of Cuenca. SPSS 15 was used to tabulate the data. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to demonstrate the relationship between asthma and its risk factors.
Results: The prevalence of asthma was 28.8%; the average age 42.24 months, with females more prevalent than males; prematurity RP 3.05 (95% CI 2.20 to 4.22 p = 0.00), family history for asthma RP 2.53 (95% CI 1.79 to 3.57 p = 0.00). External contaminants were presented as follows: heavy vehicular traffic near the CDI: RP 0.88 (95% CI 0.61 to 1.27 p = 0.47), half vehicular traffic:RP1,27 (IC 95% 0,88-1,82, p=0,20), location of housing in industrial area: MOP 1 , 31 (95% CI 0.80 to 2.14 p = 0.30), proximity to factories and / or industries RP 1.37 (95% CI 0.93 to 2.02 p = 0.12), levels above the standard environment of SO2, NO2, PS showed no statistical significance.
Conclusions: In our population, family history of asthma and premaurity increase the risk of asthma.Objective: To determine the prevalence of asthma and its association with the external environment pollution in 2-5 years old children in the municipal child development centers in Cuenca city. 2012.
Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2-5 years old children of child development centers in Cuenca city. For the study of asthma was used ISAAC adapted questionnaire and a questionnaire to collect demographic data too. Levels of external contaminants were extracted from the reports of the monitoring network of air quality.
Results: Mean age was located at 43.87 month, active asthma prevalence at 39.5%, the distribution of external contaminants were: heavy vehicular traffic 8.9%, homes located in industrial zones 1.1%, presence of industries within 300 meters of housing 18.1%. ; SO2 levels above the environmental standard 60.5%; NO2 levels of 28, 4%, Ozone levels 0% and suspended particles levels higher than the environmental standard 8.9%. Suspended particles (PS) behaved as a risk factor for developing asthma with an OR 1.55 (95% CI 1.07 to 2.25, P <0.05). The prevalence of a history of preterm infants were 21.8%, mixed or formula nutrition 51.7% and a family history of asthma 26.6% this increase the risk of asthma at 1.52 times (95% CI 1.14 to 2.03, P <0.05) .
Conclusions: In our population, family history of asthma and levels above the environmental standard of PS increase the risk of asthma.Especialista en PediatríaCuenc
Adoption and diffusion of no tillage practices in Southern Spain olive groves
No full textThis paper analyses the process of adoption of no tillage in South-eastern Spain’s olive groves. Olive tree groves in South-eastern Spain’s mountainous areas are subject to a high risk of soil erosion, which is the main environmental problem for this crop, and have to incur in high costs of soil conservation. This results in a greater difficulty to comply with the practices required to benefit from both the single payment and agri-environmental schemes. In many high-steeped areas, farmers have opted for non-tillage practices as an alternative to other conservation practices. Using our own data from a survey carried out in 2006 among 215 olive tree farmers from the Granada Province in Southern Spain regarding the adoption of soil conservation and management practices, we model the diffusion process of no tillage practices using several specifications (logistic, Gompertz and exponential). We also estimate an ordered probit model to analyse which socio-economic and institutional factors determine the adoption of no tillage. Our results show that 90% of farmers in the area of study perform no tillage with either localized (21%) or no localized (69%) application of weedicides. The diffusion process of no tillage has been very intense since the middle nineties, and has been based on the interactions among farmers in the area of study rather than in external factors such as EU policies or extension services. Among other relevant factors that positively affect the adoption of no tillage practices in general, such as farm size and irrigation, the probability of a farmer adopting no tillage with non-localized application of weedicides increases when there is a relative that will continue with the farming activity, what causes the farmer to incorporate long term effects in his farming decisions, when the farmer is only a manager or when he bought the farm rather than inherited it (i.e. on more professionalized farms), and with his educational level. These results confirm some findings from previous studies in other nearby areas.Spanish olive groves, soil erosion, no tillage, Crop Production/Industries, Land Economics/Use,

Albert Franco tells of his family's life on the Isle of Rhodes; why they left; how they came to Seattle. He tells of his father, Marco Franco's, achievements in business and of his father's extensive participation in community affairs, in the Sephardic community and in the community in general. He tells of his own education, his career as a lawyer, his war service in the Army Intelligence, and of his work in the community. He experienced discrimination by his fellow Jews when no Sephardic student could join a Jewish fraternity or sorority. This interview gives illuminating insights concerning the history of an early day Sephardic family and how a child who grew up in that era reacted as shown in his community work as as adult. His account of his father, Marco Franco, as a liaison between the various segments in the community is interesting.

Polución acústica en las instalaciones de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca- Centro Histórico
No full textPolución acústica, un problema que avanza de la mano con el crecimiento de las urbes en franco proceso de desarrollo, y cuyas implicaciones nocivas, se reflejan cada día más en los ámbitos de la salud, psicológico y de aprendizaje. La presente investigación, es de carácter exploratorio, cuantitativo, y se llevó a cabo en cuatro sedes de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca-Ecuador, situadas en el Centro Histórico, y cuyas vías aledañas están próximas a centros de desarrollo económico de esta Ciudad; Se fijaron horarios definidos, acordes a las mayores concentraciones de tráfico vehicular, utilizando equipo especializado y que permitieron cuantificar los índices de contaminación sonora alrededor de los casos de estudio. Como resultado de este trabajo se determinó que, en todas las locaciones los niveles sobrepasan los límites permitidos, el promedio de mediciones obtenidas es 65.02 (dBA), lo que supera la norma en un 30 %. Finalmente, se dejan recomendaciones de orden constructivo y de implementación de barreras naturales que podrían implementarse en las edificaciones a fin de atenuar este problema, que actualmente está cobrando la relevancia que debe tener a la hora de pensar en el diseño y construcción de edificaciones sustentables y sostenibles. También hace un llamado de atención a las autoridades competentes a fin de concientizar la urgente implementación de una normativa obligatoria a la hora de aprobar nuevos proyectos arquitectónicos que garanticen el confort y la salud de sus futuros ocupantes.Trabajo de investigació
Prevalencia de hipoacusia en la población atendida por la entidad Audiocentro, Cuenca - Ecuador, 2019-2021
No full textANTECEDENTES: La hipoacusia es la reducción en la sensación auditiva del individuo,que
repercute directamente en la cantidad de inteligibilidad del sonido a corta, media o larga distancia,
afectando la calidad de vida en tópicos psicológicos, cognitivos, socio- emocionales, etc. La
Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) confiere el valor mínimo de 26 dB HL, como umbral
para considerar discapacitante el mermo auditivo. OBJETIVOS: Determinar la prevalencia de
hipoacusia en usuarios de 36 años en adelante que acudieron a la entidad privada Audiocentro
en la Ciudad de Cuenca- Ecuador, entre los años 2019-2021. METODOLOGIA: Estudio con
enfoque cuantitativo, transversal, de tipo descriptivo y retrospectivo en línea de tiempo. La
información fue extraída de la base de datos “NOAH”con los reportes audiométricos de los
pacientes de 36 años en adelante atendidos en Audiocentro durante el periodo 2019-2021. Se
realizó una revisión de variables independientes (edad, sexo, procedencia y ocupación) y
variable dependiente(hipoacusia); los datos fueron registrados en formularios y su tabulación fue
ejecutada enlos softwares IBM - SPSS Statistics Versión 26 y Microsoft Excel. RESULTADOS:
Los hombres de 76 a 85 años presentan mayor probabilidad de experimentar hipoacusia
neurosensorial (10,6%) moderada-severa (4,5%) con extensiónbilateral (31,1%), mientras que
las mujeres de 66 a 75 años mantienen un mayor predominio de perdida neurosensorial (8,2%)
con grado moderado (2,4%), y extensión bilateral (23,6%). CONCLUSIONES: El 98% de la
población atendida en la entidad AUDIOCENTRO durante los años 2019-2021 presentan un
deterioro en su audición.BACKGROUND: Sensorineural hearing loss is the total or partial inability to hear, which directly
affects the amount of sound intelligibility at short, medium, or long distance, influencing the quality
of life in psychological, cognitive, socio-emotional areas. The WorldHealth Organization (WHO)
established a minimum of 26 dB HL as the threshold to consider hearing loss as disabling.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss in individuals aged 36
and older, who attended Audiocentro center in the City of Cuenca, Ecuador, from2019 to 2021.
METHODOLOGY: This is a study with a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and
retrospective approach in a time-line. Information was extracted from NOAH database with
audiometric reports of patients aged 36 and older, who were treated at Audiocentro from 2019 to
2021. A review of independent variables (age, sex, origin, and occupation) and a dependent
variable (hearing loss) was carried out. Data were recorded on forms and their tabulation was
performed using the IBM-SPSS Statistics V 26 and Microsoft Excel software. RESULTS: Men
aged 76 to 85 are more likely to experience moderate-severe (4.5%) bilateral (31.1%)
sensorineural hearing loss (10.6%), while women aged 66 to 75 keep apredominant moderate
(24%) bilateral (23.6%) sensorineural loss (8.2%). CONCLUSIONS: 98% of the population treated
at Audiocentro from 2019 to 2021 reported their hearing deteriorated.0009-0002-1185-464
