Sobre: Paris era una fiesta de Ernest Hemingway
No full textEs este un libro publicado después de la muerte del autor, pero escrito entre el otoño de 1957 y el de 1960. Hemingway lo inició y terminó en Cuba, trabajándolo en Ketchum (Idaho) por el invierno de 1958-59. Llevó luego el manuscrito a España, en 1959, y volvió con él a Cuba y luego otra vez a Ketchum, a fines de otoño, para terminarlo en la primavera de 1960, tras una interrupción en la cual escribió un libro sobre la rivalidad en los ruedos de España entre los toreros Antonio Ordóñez y Luis Miguel Dominguín, El verano peligroso. Retocó el libro en el otoño de 1960, en Ketchum
Ingredients for Revolution: A History of American Feminist Restaurants, Cafes, and Coffeehouses
No full textCoinciding with the fiftieth anniversary of the trailblazing restaurant Mother Courage of New York City, Ingredients for Revolution: A History of American Feminist Restaurants, Cafes, and Coffeehouses is the first history of the more than 230 feminist and lesbian-feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses that existed in the United States from 1972 to the present. As key sites of cultural and political significance, this volume shows the essential role these institutions served for multiple social justice movements including women’s liberation, LGBTQ equality, and food justice, as well as for training women workers and entrepreneurs.
This systematic study outlines the crucial steps it took to establish these businesses during eras when sexism was so institutionalized it was difficult for unmarried women to obtain a bank loan, while also showing the continuities and influences of past businesses on contemporary places. Through an examination of important establishments across America, Alex D. Ketchum first examines the foundational principles behind these businesses, noting key differences between cooperative, for-profit, and non-profit models. She then looks to issues of financing, labour, pay, food sourcing, and cultural programming to understand how these organizations reconciled feminist beliefs with capitalism and how they strove for more equitable and sustainable business practices.
Brimming with illuminating archival research, interviews with influential restaurateurs, and illustrated with photographs, menus, posters, and calendars, Ingredients for Revolution is a fundamental work of women’s history, food history, and cultural history.

Propuesta de mejoramiento del sistema de control interno de la empresa Comunicación Corporativa Ketchum
No full textSeminario de graduación (licenciatura en contaduría pública)--Universidad de Costa Rica. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas. Escuela de Administración de Negocios, 2019Comunicación Corporativa Ketchum (CCK) nace como empresa en enero de 1988 en San José, Costa Rica, y a través del tiempo, gracias a la calidad e innovación en sus servicios, se ha podido posicionar en el mercado norteamericano, en Latinoamérica, Asia y Europa. Para lograr mejoras e innovar sus procesos es vital que exista dentro de las organizaciones un adecuado sistema de control interno (SCI) que favorezca el logro de los objetivos operacionales, ofrezca confiabilidad en la información financiera y ayude al cumplimiento de las leyes, normas y reglamentos aplicables. Se planteó una propuesta de mejoramiento del sistema de control interno de la empresa Comunicación Corporativa Ketchum (CCK), dados los beneficios que esto trae consigo, tomando como referencia lo establecido en el Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), en su versión 2013. El proyecto se centra en la evaluación integral de los componentes de control interno, con el objetivo de identificar áreas de mejora y proponer medidas correctivas que se adapten a las necesidades y a la capacidad de la organización. Como valor agregado a la investigación se propone un manual de procedimientos basado en las mejores prácticas, como una herramienta que le permitirá a la organización el cumplimiento de sus objetivos de control.UCR::Docencia::Ciencias Sociales::Facultad de Ciencias Económicas::Escuela de Administración de Negocio

Machine-learning based multi-layer soil moisture forecasts—an application case study of the Montana 2017 flash drought
No full textSoil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable, governing land-atmosphere interactions, runoff generation, and vegetation growth and productivity. Timely forecasts of SM spatial distribution and vertical profiles are needed for early detection and prediction of potential droughts. However, previous studies have primarily concentrated on historical or near real-time soil moisture mapping, with less effort devoted to the development and integration of soil moisture forecast components within drought assessment systems. A satellite-driven machine-learning approach was developed in this study to build complex relationships between diversified predictor data sets and in situ multi-layer SM measurements from the Montana Mesonet, a regionally dense environmental station network in the US upper Missouri and Columbia basins. The resulting 30-m daily SM predictions showed strong performance against in situ SM measurements from 4-, 8- and 20-inch soil layers, and with 1- to 2-week forecast lead times (R > 0.91; RMSE ≤ 0.047 cm3/cm3). The machine-learning model was subsequently applied to the entire Montana region, and the SM deficit forecasts with both 1- and 2-week lead times successfully depicted onset, progression, and termination phases of the 2017 Montana flash drought, which was not effectively identified from prevailing operational systems. The resulting system is capable of delineating local scale SM heterogeneity, and could be extended to predict other critical water cycle variables, potentially enhancing future drought forecasts through multivariate assessments and benefiting water resource management, agricultural practices, and the provision of ecosystem services.</p
