The social class struggles concept with an interdisciplinary approach: a paramount concept for research in library and information science (LIS)
No full textThis paper analyses the social class struggles concept with an interdisciplinary approach to be used by theorists and practitioners of library and information science (LIS). This concept emerged as part of the theoretical framework employed by the author in his doctoral thesis (Muela-Meza, 2010): An Application of Community Profiling to Analyse Community Information Needs, and Providers: Perceptions from the People of the Broomhall Neighbourhood of Sheffield, UK. This concept is complemented from philosophy (Marx and Engels, [1848] 1976a), and the natural sciences (Hauser, 2006; Sagan and Druyan, 1992), and it served the author to understand better the bigger dimensions of the underlying issues behind social classes and human conflicts. It also served to understand better the contradictions between people (e.g. LIS users with contradictory and mutually exclusive information needs to be provided by libraries and other institutions of information recorded in documents), and how these intensify when these are interrelated with the social class they belong to (Muela-Meza, 2007). This paper also criticises some competing views whose proponents by pretending fallaciously and deceitfully to deny the presence of social class divides in society, such as those rhetorical ploys of post-modernism that propose capitalist-class-driven ideologues of “community cohesion” based on “social capital” (Putnam, 1999). It shows evidence of how those followers (e.g. Pateman, 2006; Contreras Contreras, 2004; Bryson, Usherwood and Proctor, 2003) of capitalist-class ideologues, by doing so they aligned their discourse to that of dominance hierarchies and hegemony against working class people, in LIS and other sciences, and the humanities. It also criticises the postmodern pseudoscience because it pretends to undermine the logical rationality fundamental in LIS and all other sciences. It recommends that LIS theorists and practitioners employ the social class struggles concept as configured here in order to understand better contradictions, conflicts, and struggles within LIS theory and practice, and also to search for broader epistemological aims such as justice and wisdom (Fleissner and Hofkirchner, 1998), concealed by the capitalist or bourgeois and middle classes for their benefit against working class

Meza Hemming 1939
No full text<i>Meza</i> Hemming, 1939 <p> This genus is paraphyletic, and probably only the type species will be left in <i>Meza</i> once the species that do not belong have been removed (Larsen, pers. comm. 2012). Vuattoux (1999) has reared <i>M. meza</i> from <i>Paspalum conjugatum</i> once. Larsen (2005) questioned this, as the other members of the genus as then defined are dicotyledon feeders. However, the reported disparate food plants together with differences in genitalia and wing pattern support the break up of the genus (Larsen, pers. comm. 2012). Vuattoux’s food plant record should be accepted until further information suggests otherwise.</p> <p> Vuattoux (1999) has reared three other species of <i>Meza</i> in Côte d’Ivoire: <i>M. mabea</i> (Holland) from <i>Dalbergia heudelotii</i>, <i>D. oblongifolia</i> and <i>Baphia pubescens</i> (Fabaceae), <i>M. indusiata</i> (Mabille) five times from <i>Hugonia platysepala</i> (Linaceae), and <i>M. cybeutes volta</i> (Miller) from <i>Dichapetalum madagascariense</i> (= <i>D. guineense</i>) (Dichapetalaceae). Larsen (2005) repeats these records, but points out that the first is referable to <i>M. leucophaea</i> (Holland), based on a voucher specimen.</p>Published as part of <i>Cock, Matthew J.

Productivity in economies with financial frictions: facts and a theory
No full textWe document and account for two facts regarding the relation between international interest rates and total factor productivity (TFP) in a sample of developing countries. First, there is a negative correlation between both variables at quarterly frequency. Second, the share of agricultural labor and interest rates are positively correlated, whereas the share of agricultural labor and TFP are negatively correlated. Manufacturing labor shows opposite correlations. These relationships are particularly strong in the aftermath of financial crises. We then construct a model in which the presence of costly intermediation can produce such relationships. We show that, after increases in interest rates, a requirement to intermediate factors of production in high productivity sectors, like manufacturing, causes resources to leave these sectors. Resources end up in low productivity sectors, like agriculture, where intermediation is cheaper. This lowers aggregate productivity. We show that the channel we identify is quantitatively important in the case of Korea after the 1997 financial crisis.<br/

Trade and Private R&D in Mexico
No full textUsing the National Survey on Employment, Wages, Technology and Training (Enestyc), this paper tries to find the relationship between increasing trade and the proportion of total income Mexican manufacturing firms invest on R&D. Based on two cross-sectional and a panel estimation procedures, the results confirm the idea that increasing the exposure to foreign markets affect the innovative efforts of Mexican firms. We also find that the firms engaging in some kind of R&D do not conform a random sample. More specifically, our results show that, in 1992, the probability of finding a firm engaging resources in some kind of R&D increased with size, a market diversification measure, and a measure of industrial market power at a 2-digit level, while the intensity of the R&D effort depended, on market power and an industry concentration measure. For the 1999 estimation our results show that the probability of R&D investment at a firm level increased with size, a market diversification measure, and exposure to foreign competition, while the magnitude of the R&D effort of a firm was determined by the decrease in average import tariffs at the industry level and by the exporting efforts of the firm. We find strong complementarities between public and private innovation efforts in both years, but find that younger firms are doing stronger R&D efforts in 1999. The 1992- 99 balanced panel results show that exporting firms invest more in R&D while import competing firms invest less, once size, market power and other control variables are taken into account. Our estimation indicates that exporting give firms a great incentive to innovate, and that not only large, but also small firms contribute to the R&D efforts of a nation.R&D, trade liberalization, foreign direct investment, exposure to foreing markets
Efecto de la aplicación de los aromas ambientales sobre el comportamiento de los consumidores de la empresa “D´meza” durante el periodo agosto - setiembre, 2013
No full textEl marketing olfativo se basa en una ciencia moderna, derivada del marketing sensorial y del neuromarketing, que utiliza aromas ambientales específicos con el fin de influir en el comportamiento del consumidor y aumenta los beneficios empresariales. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo general analizar el efecto de la aplicación de los aromas en el comportamiento de los consumidores en el punto de venta. Para lo cual se hizo dos experimentos con el mismo grupo de clientes seleccionados. Definido el método e instrumento de recolección de datos, se pasó a los cuestionarios en la tienda de la empresa D´meza, lo cual durante un mes no se aromatizó, el segundo mes sí se aromatizó el punto de venta. Los resultados de los cuestionarios nos permitieron concluir que un aroma agradable que tenga congruencia con el producto es capaz de cambiar el estado emocional de los consumidores y hace que permanezcan más tiempo en el punto de venta y gasten más. Completando el análisis de los resultados se aprovechó para hacer algunas recomendaciones y aportes al marketing olfativo.TesisLIMAEscuela Profesional de Administració
