Créditos del Banco Nacional de Costa Rica
No full textEl manejo correcto de la cartera de crédito de una entidad financiera, genera grandes beneficios de rentabilidad.
Por ello el presente estudio se realiza con la Cartera de Crédito del Banco Nacional de Costa Rica en la Agencia 105, durante el periodo 2017-2019, con el fin de determinar las repercusiones que genera esta Agencia sobre la cuenta por créditos activos del Banco Nacional de Costa Rica; es importante indicar que esta oficina, también es conocida con los nombres de Agencia N1 de Alajuela y la oficina 105.
La razón por la cual el grupo de investigación cobra interés sobre este tema, es el conocer la repercusión que genera la Agencia 105 sobre la entidad Bancaria y la importancia que posee el buen manejo de las diferentes carteras de la institución. Esto debido a que es preciso el análisis de dicha cartera, para identificar un margen de medición de cobro dentro de la Agencia 105, identificando cuales créditos presentan mayor problema en los pagos y cuales sectores se ven mayormente afectados y con esto poder brindar posibles recomendaciones para mejorar la mora general de la oficina.The correct management of the credit portfolio of a financial institution generates great profitability benefits. For this reason, this study is carried out with the Credit Portfolio of the National Bank of Costa Rica in Agency 105, during the period 2017-2019, in order to determine the repercussions that this Agency generates on the account for active credits of the National Bank from Costa Rica; It is important to indicate that this office is also known as Agencia N1 de Alajuela and Office 105. The reason why the research group is interested in this issue is to know the impact that Agency 105 generates on the Banking entity and the importance of the good management of the different portfolios of the institution. This is due to the fact that the analysis of said portfolio is necessary to identify a collection measurement margin within the Agency 105, identifying which credits present the greatest problem in payments and which sectors are most affected and with this being able to provide possible recommendations for improve overall office delinquency.Universidad Nacional, Costa RicaEscuela de Administració
Visualización de datos sobre la recolección de muestras de especies del reino Plantae del Museo Nacional de Costa Rica durante el periodo 1887 al 2020
No full textProyecto de Graduación (Licenciatura en Ingeniería en Diseño Industrial) Instituto Tecnológico de Costa Rica, Escuela de Diseño Industrial, 2021.Esta tesis cumple con el Objetivo ODS 15:
Proteger, restablecer y promover el uso sostenible de los ecosistemas terrestres, gestionar sosteniblemente los bosques, luchar contra la desertificación, detener e invertir la degradación de las tierras y detener la pérdida de la biodiversidad.
Meta 5
Adoptar medidas urgentes y significativas para reducir la degradación de los hábitats naturales, detener la pérdida de la diversidad biológica y, para el año 2020, proteger las especies amenazadas y evitar su extinción.El Museo Nacional de Costa Rica es una de las
principales fuentes de información en materia de
especies botánicas a nivel nacional. Sus registros,
iniciados en 1848, incluyen muestras del 95% de las
especies de plantas esperadas del país, las cuales
corresponden a 500,000 ejemplares del reino Plantae.
Actualmente, el museo cuenta con una metodología de
recolección de especies que por sus características
manuales y a falta de tecnologías de visualización, carece
en cuanto a especificidad de información, sesgando así la
toma de decisiones de futuras recolectas. Este proyecto
propone una visualización de datos de las muestras
recolectadas del reino Plantae por expertos del Museo
Nacional de Costa Rica, para optimizar la metodología de
recolección actual. La propuesta de visualización
incorpora variables de tipo taxonómicas, de atributos,
temporales y geográficas. Se pretende que con la nueva
visualización los investigadores del Museo Nacional de
Costa Rica tomen decisiones con mayor precisión y
rapidez, para formar predicciones, prevenir cambios y
realicen un optimizado manejo de los recursos, así como
poder lograr una conservación de las especies más
necesarias.The National Museum of Costa Rica is one of the primary
sources of information on botanical species at the
national level. Its records, begun in 1848, include 95% of
the country's expected plant species, which correspond
to 500,000 specimens from the Plantae kingdom.
Currently, the museum has a single species collection
methodology, which is based solely on geographic data.
Therefore, decision-making regarding collection
strategies is limited. This project proposes a strategy for
data visualization of the samples collected from the
Plantae kingdom by experts from the National Museum of
Costa Rica. The information visualization proposal
incorporates variables such as taxonomic characteristics,
attributes, time ranges, and location to facilitate the
creation of collection methodologies. This new
visualization aims to contribute to processes developed
by the researchers of the National Museum of Costa Rica,
such as making predictions, preventing changes, carrying
out optimized management of resources, and achieving
conservation of the most necessary species.Museo Nacional de Costa Ric
The Challenging conversation: Peace culture regarding Costa Rican sexual education.
No full textEste documento presenta una reflexión sobre el impacto de los partidismos dirigidos a la identidad y la polarización de discursos sobre la educación sexual en la educación pública costarricense, así como la difusa conceptualización de la llamada “ideología de género” y las preocupaciones que plantea desde lo social comunitario. Se presenta una propuesta integradora de los principios necesarios para una educación sexual saludable, la cual fue ratificada por diez psicólogos costarricenses, entre ellos la autora. Una cultura de paz caracterizada por la participación de todas las partes involucradas así como la capacidad para generar espacios seguros para el diálogo se hacen necesarias para enfrentar los temas delicados que atañen a la población menor de edad de Costa Rica.This article presents a reflexion about the impact of identity politics
regarding the polarizing discourses about sexual education in Costa Rican public
education. It also refers to the difuse conceptualization of the so called “gender
ideology” and the concerns it raises from the comunity. An integrating proposal
about the necesary principles for healthy sexual education is presented, which was ratified by ten costa rican psychologist, including the author. A peace culture that
builds on engaging all parties, as well as the capacity to open safe spaces for
dialogue are fundamental to face the delicate issues that involve Costa Rican
underage population.UCR::Vicerrectoría de Docencia::Ciencias Sociales::Facultad de Educación::Escuela de Orientación y Educación Especia
LOS LÍMITES DEL REFERENDO SOBRE EL TLC COMO INSTRUMENTO DE PARTICIPACIÓN POLÍTICA EN COSTA RICA
No full textThis article analyses the referendum on the Free Trade Agreement with the United States, Central America and the Dominican Republic (CAFTA), which took place in Costa Rica during 2007. The premise of the author is that, due to its great political significance and its socio-political complexity, the referendum must be analyzed from various approaches, including political communication. From that perspective, the author points out several elements: first, the media structures in which the communication campaigns, in favor and against, were developed. This includes television, radio, newspapers and Internet. Second, the referendum’s rules of the game, including the issues of funding, the media agenda setting, the role of the Executive and, finally, the strategy and content of the campaigns developed by the groups in favor (Yes) and against (No) CAFTA. Internet deserves special mention as a new arena of contention communications in Costa Rica. Throughout the article, the author showed evidence of the inequality in the rules of the game, economic resources and media agendas, including the use of fear as political resource, which clearly favored groups that supported CAFTA, but that substantially limited the democratic content of the referendum. The article concludes pointing out lessons and aspects that should be modified in order to democratize referendum in Costa Rica.El presente artículo analiza el referendo sobre el Tratado de Libre Comercio con Estados Unidos, Centroamérica y República Dominicana que se realizó en Costa Rica durante el año 2007. La premisa de la que parte el autor es que, por su gran significado político y por la complejidad de su dinámica socio-política, el referendo debe ser analizado desde diversas perspectivas, incluyendo la comunicación política. Desde esa perspectiva, el autor destaca en su análisis varios elementos: primero, la estructura del campo mediático en la que se desarrollaron las campañas, incluyendo televisión, radio, prensa escrita e Internet. Segundo, las reglas del juego con las que se desarrolló el referendo, incluyendo el tema del financiamiento, la agenda de los principales medios comerciales, el papel del Ejecutivo y, finalmente, la estrategia y el contenido de las campañas desarrolladas por los grupos a favor (Sí) y en contra (No) del TLC. Una mención especial merece la Internet como una nueva arena de disputa comunicacional en Costa Rica. A lo largo del artículo se evidencia las condiciones de desigualdad en las reglas de juego, recursos económicos y agendas mediáticas, incluyendo el uso del miedo como recurso mediático, que claramente favorecieron a los grupos que apoyaban el TLC, pero que limitaron sustantivamente el contenido democrático del referendo. El artículo concluye señalando aspectos que deben modificarse para democratizar el referendo en Costa Rica
Variations on the Author
No full text“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
Judicial Risk and Credit Market Performance: Micro Evidence from Brazil Payroll Loans
No full textA large body of literature has stressed the institution-development nexus as critical in explaining differences in countries' economic performance. The empirical evidence, however, has been mainly at the aggregate level, associating macro performance with measures of quality of institutions. This paper, by relating a judicial decision on the legality of payroll debit loans in Brazil to bank-level decision variables, provides micro evidence on how creditor legal protection affects market performance. Payroll loans are personal loans with principal and interests payments directly deducted from the borrowers' payroll check, which, in practice, makes a collateral out of future income. In June 2004, a high-level federal court upheld a regional court ruling that had declared payroll deduction illegal. Using personal loans without payroll deduction as a control group, we assess whether the ruling had an impact on market performance. Evidence indicates that it had an adverse impact on risk perception, interest rates, and amount lent.

Sectoral allocation by gender of Latin American workers over the liberalization period of the 1990s
No full textThe recent restructuring of Latin American economies has renewed interest in the effects of trade liberalization, on labor markets, and on the gender division of labor. The author does not attempt to establish casuality between economic reforms, and the types of jobs that men and women hold. Instead, she provides a detailed description of the trends in male, and female formal, and informal sector participation during the economic reform period in Argentina, Brazil, and Costa Rica. The author first compares the gender composition of the formal, informal wage, and self-employment sectors in a year before reforms (1988 for Argentina, 1989 for Brazil, and Costa Rica), and a year after reforms implementation (1997 for Argentina, 1995 for Brazil and Costa Rica). Although women continued to be more likely than men to work in the informal wage sector, there is no trend of"masculinization"or"feminization"of the informal sector, or any other. Instead, in Argentina men have overtaken women as the most prevalent workers in the informal wage sector, while in Brazil, the opposite has occurred (as men move into self-employment). In Costa Rica there have been no statistical, observable changes. The author then considers the distribution across sectors within each gender group, to identify whether men, and women are more likely to select different sectors in the post-reform period relative to the pre-reform period. Among both men, and women in all three countries (except Brazilian men), workers have become more likely to hold informal wage jobs, and less likely to hold formal sector jobs. Trends in human capital accumulation explain these changes for both men, and women, while changes in gender roles, primarily in homecare and marriage, do not seem to have an effect.Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Labor Policies,Population&Development,Public Health Promotion,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Population&Development,Banks&Banking Reform,Work&Working Conditions
