La Crisis Económica Del Fútbol, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. May 2013

La Crisis Económica Del Fútbol, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

Este año el presupuesto de los 12 equipos de la seria A del futbol ecuatoriano llega a la suma de 54 millones de dólares, mientras el déficit acumulado –según El Comercio- es de 3´273.5267, lo cual representa un 61 por ciento del valor total. Una cantidad muy apreciable, difícil de ser subsanada si no se aplican medidas de ajuste y de transformación administrativa. Este déficit se estructura con deudas a los futbolistas y entrenadores, algunos de los cuales despedidos ilegalmente, al SRI por no pago de impuestos, a la corrupción, así como a los modelos ineficientes de gestión, todos ellos …

Climate Change Adaptation Chapter: Marshfield, Massachusetts, Joshua H. Chase, Jonathan G. Cooper, Rory Elizabeth Fitzgerald, Filipe Antunes Lima, Sally R. Miller, Toni Marie Pignatelli

Jonathan G. Cooper

Climate change, understood as a statistically significant variation in the mean state of the climate or its variability, is the greatest environmental challenge of this generation (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2001). Marshfield is already being affected by changes in the climate that will have a profound effect on the town’s economy, public health, coastal resources, natural features, water systems, and public and private infrastructure. Adaptation strategies have been widely recognized as playing an important role in improving a community’s ability to respond to climate stressors by resisting damage and recovering quickly. Based on review of climate projections for the …

Maratón De Boston: Escenario De Terror, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. Apr 2013

Maratón De Boston: Escenario De Terror, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

La Maratón es una carrera pedestre con una longitud de 42.195 metros, que es la distancia entre Atenas y Maratón. Este deporte logra prestigio a nivel planetario gracias a las múltiples pruebas que se organizan a lo largo de todo el mundo, siendo el “World Marathon Majors” el más renombrado, porque integra las competencias de Boston, Nueva York, Chicago, Berlín y Londres. También existen importantes carreras como la que se corre en tiempo real en 25 ciudades del mundo; así como las que se realizan -con distintas distancias- en muchas ciudades del Planeta.

Genocidio Por Omisión, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. Apr 2013

Genocidio Por Omisión, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

En estos días el Estado ecuatoriano -población, territorio y gobierno- vive una situación de gravedad y emergencia, sin que se le preste la atención adecuada; existe un estado de genocidio, entendido como un delito internacional imprescriptible, que destruye grupos nacionales o étnicos. Eso es exactamente lo que ha ocurrido el mes de marzo pasado: primero, el día 5 son asesinados dos miembros de la etnia Huoarani que operaban como enlaces con los Taromenane, y segundo, el 29 de marzo cuando habrían fallecido -por represalia- no menos de 10 miembros de la etnia Taromenane en manos de los huoaronis. Estos asesinatos …

Research Report: Water User Dimensions Of Meter Implementation On Secondary Pressurized Irrigation Systems, Joanna Endter-Wada, Diana Glenn, Clayton Lewis, Roger Kjelgren, Christopher Neale

Joanna Endter-Wada

Weber Basin Water Conservancy District (District) secured Bureau of Reclamation funding in spring 2011 to install individual secondary water meters at residential connections in order to implement water efficiency and accountability measures included in the District’s Water Conservation Plan (Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, 2010). Initially, the District will not use the meters for billing water use but, instead, will use them to help the District determine if end users are exceeding their contracted allotment of water and to promote water use accountability.The purpose of the study titled “Water User Dimensions of Meter Implementation on Secondary Pressurized Irrigation Systems” conducted …

Land Use And Land Cover Dynamics Under Climate Change In Urbanizing Intermountain West: A Case Study From Cache County, Utah, Enjie Li Mar 2013

Land Use And Land Cover Dynamics Under Climate Change In Urbanizing Intermountain West: A Case Study From Cache County, Utah, Enjie Li

Enjie Li

Climate change is tightly linked with urbanization. Urban development with increasing greenhouse gas emission worsens climate change, while climate change in turn influence hydroclimate and ecosystem functions, and indirectly affect urban systems. The Intermountain West is experiencing rapid urban growth, climate change interacting with urbanization poses new challenges to the Intermountain West. Urban planning needs to adapt to these new changes and constrains, and to develop new tools and plans to effectively respond to climate changes. An urban growth model SLEUTH is applied to predict the future urban growth and land use dynamics in the Intermountain west, using Cache County …

Introducing The Ohio New Establishment Dynamics Data, Joel A. Elvery, Ellen Cyran

Ellen Cyran

The Ohio New Establishment Dynamics (O-NED) data set tracks the number of establishments that first started employing people between the second quarter of 1997 and the first quarter of 2008 and measures the employment and payroll data for these new establishments. O-NED enables researchers to measure the growth trends of cohorts of new establishments for up to 5 years after the cohort’s birth. These data are the first publicly available data that document the growth rates of new establishments at the substate level. The finest unit of geography O-NED measures is a county. This article describes how O-NED is constructed …


Un Papa “Cuervo”, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. Mar 2013

Un Papa “Cuervo”, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

El mundo reconoce que en la elección del nuevo Papa han existido algunas rupturas e innovaciones, entre las que se pueden mencionar las siguientes: es la primera vez que se elige a un jesuita como Papa, es la primera vez que se corona como máxima dignidad de la Iglesia católica a una persona nacida en Latinoamérica, es la primera vez que un Papa adopta el nombre de Francisco y también, es la primera vez que llega a la “Barca de San Pedro” un seguidor y socio confeso de un club de futbol…

El Femicidio: Todos Somos Karina, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. Mar 2013

El Femicidio: Todos Somos Karina, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

Ayer 8 de marzo se celebró el Día Internacional de la Mujer, fecha emblemática que conmemora la lucha de la mujer por la construcción de la igualdad de género. Fue en 1977 que la Asamblea General de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) proclamó a este día como el símbolo de la reivindicación de la equidad entre hombres y mujeres; para el efecto se recogió la historia nacida en 1857, cuando en Nueva York un grupo de obreras textiles salen a las calles para protestar por las condiciones de trabajo y por el trato discriminatorio que recibían. Desde ese …


The False Hope Of Comprehensive Planning, Michael Lewyn Mar 2013

The False Hope Of Comprehensive Planning, Michael Lewyn

Michael E Lewyn

Some commentators on sprawl and smart growth speak of municipal comprehensive plans and sprawl as polar opposites: but in fact, a comprehensive plan can be used to further auto-oriented sprawl just as easily as it can be used to encourage more pedestrian-friendly development. This speech uses parts of Jacksonville, Florida's plan as examples of pro-sprawl planning.


Coyuntura Delictiva: Del Secuestro Y Homicidio A La Roca, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. Mar 2013

Coyuntura Delictiva: Del Secuestro Y Homicidio A La Roca, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

El inicio de este año ha significado que el Ecuador configure una nueva “coyuntura delictiva”, caracterizada principalmente por la existencia de un conjunto de hechos ilegales que están produciendo un crecimiento de la percepción de inseguridad, así como una diversificación y extensión de ciertos delictivos.

Quizás los hechos más llamativos sean, por un lado, la fuga de 18 personas privadas de la libertad de la cárcel La Roca en Guayaquil y, por otro, el asesinato de Karina del Pozo, una joven modelo, en la ciudad de Quito. El primer caso pone en evidencia la crisis carcelaria que se vive a …


Certification Of Librarians: An Unproven Demand, Jonathan Pacheco Bell Mar 2013

Certification Of Librarians: An Unproven Demand, Jonathan Pacheco Bell

Jonathan P. Bell

This paper examines whether certification of librarians is necessary to ensure high quality service. The paper explains the purpose of professional certification and provides a synopsis of the history of national librarian certification initiatives in the U.S. A literature review evaluates arguments supporting and opposing certification. Arguments in favor of certification are unconvincing and reveal certification supporters’ professional insecurities, failure to consider the certification bureaucracy that would be created, and lack of evidence to support their claims. Given these findings, the paper concludes that librarian certification is unnecessary. Library professionals are encouraged to take other proactive steps to expand their …


Seguridad, Planificación Y Desarrollo En Las Regiones Transfronterizas, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq. Mar 2013

Seguridad, Planificación Y Desarrollo En Las Regiones Transfronterizas, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.

Fernando Carrión Mena

La Constitución de la República del Ecuador garantiza la integración equi- tativa de sus poblaciones fronterizas a través del afianzamiento de una cul- tura de paz y el desarrollo socio-económico. La norma fundamental mani- fiesta que el Estado garantizará la seguridad humana a través de políticas y acciones integradas que aseguren la convivencia pacífica de las personas, previniendo las diferentes formas de violencia y discriminación, como par- te del desarrollo económico de los cantones fronterizos.

En el afán de mantener condiciones de gobernabilidad y los derechos humanos de la población, los gobiernos autónomos descentralizados fron- terizos deben desarrollar, en sus …


Housing Chronically Homeless Veterans: Evaluating The Efficacy Of A Housing First Approach To Hud-Vash, Ann Elizabeth Montgomery, Lindsay L. Hill, Vincent Kane, Dennis P. Culhane Feb 2013

Housing Chronically Homeless Veterans: Evaluating The Efficacy Of A Housing First Approach To Hud-Vash, Ann Elizabeth Montgomery, Lindsay L. Hill, Vincent Kane, Dennis P. Culhane

Dennis P. Culhane

Rapidly placing homeless Veterans with severe mental illness into permanent housing is one important goal of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program; however, no research has tested whether an explicit organizational alignment of this goal with revised practices could improve outcomes. A demonstration project initiated in 2010 to reform housing placement practices in a metropolitan area enabled researchers to compare an explicit “Housing First” program—offering immediate permanent housing without requiring treatment compliance, abstinence, or “housing readiness”—with a treatment-first program for 177 homeless Veterans. The Housing First initiative successfully reduced time to housing placement, …


Consolidated Public Safety Answering Point (Psap) Feasibility Study For Richland County Ohio, Daila Shimek, Eugene Kramer, Patrick Johnson, Charlie Post Feb 2013

Consolidated Public Safety Answering Point (Psap) Feasibility Study For Richland County Ohio, Daila Shimek, Eugene Kramer, Patrick Johnson, Charlie Post

Daila Shimek

This report provides an assessment of the feasibility of consolidation of two public safety answering points in Richland County, Ohio. The report describes the methodology used to assess the feasibility. The findings are that consolidation of dispatch services among the potential participating entities is feasible. Consolidation of services would reduce capital costs expended across the county for public safety emergency dispatching over the long term. Given the proposed investment equipment and staff, the level and quality of service provided by a consolidated dispatch center should exceed those currently being supplied.
