Sensory activities as part of a cultural tourism route for the Festival de Artes Vivas de la Ciudad de Loja (Living Arts Festival of the City of Loja)

2023-04-06T18:45:27-04:00

This work was carried out with the objective of elaborating a proposal for a sensory tourism route of art and culture for the FIAVL, based on a selection of attractions under specific criteria of: availability, accessibility, safety, in addition to their relationship with the senses and how these senses are perceived in an attraction by the tourist; this is how the attractions that will act as the basis of this route were chosen. Based on these, together with the bibliographic review and the visitor's opinion or demand, the sensory tourism activities were defined; the second important factor for the route. With these two factors, we proceeded to design the "Sensory Route: Feel Loja", a cultural tourism route that involves the five senses: sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing. The attractions are related to activities that stimulate these senses, and at the same time allow the visitor to learn more about the history and culture of the city of Loja. The methodology proposed for this research work was of the exploratory type, since no route of this type has been carried out in the city, and it also has a quantitative and qualitative approach. Bibliographic consultations were carried out, survey of tourist attractions: data sheet adapted to the methodology of the MINTUR and technical data sheets of the INPC, data collection through survey technique and Focus Group, among others.

Innovation startups: Study of software applications to optimize home delivery of products.

2023-04-05T21:13:30-04:00

This research focuses on a comparative study between the levels of rice exports before and during dollarization, corresponding to the years 1980-2020; thus, the information from the World Bank, Central Bank of Ecuador and SENAE is used as a data base, which eventually leads us to a non-experimental research with a quantitative approach and through the t-test was able to determine the existence of a significant change in rice exports before and during dollarization. On the other hand, the coefficient of determination allows us to appreciate that with dollarization there is a 10% incidence between price and export levels, as well as establishing that during this stage, dependence on international relations and high production costs influence the degree of competitiveness of the price of rice.

Study of Startups in the cloud to innovate agricultural production in Ecuador (IoT, data in the cloud)

2023-04-05T19:29:41-04:00

In Ecuador, startups have had a remarkable growth in the last decade due to the extensive amount of benefits they offer by using current technologies in the provision of a service or within production processes such as in agriculture, therefore it is considered necessary to describe them and show what systems they use in favor of innovation and increased agricultural production. Within this document, documentary research will be used to collect information, describe the current situation in Ecuador in this area, demonstrate the benefits that IoT and the use of Big-Data can mean.

The cultural practice from the decentralized autonomous government of Canton Pindal

2023-05-05T10:12:35-04:00

The Decentralized Autonomous Government of the canton Pidal, performs social practices where a cultural dimension is expressed, in which infinite artistic expressions and manifestations of local, regional and national identity are linked, these actions place cultural practices in an identity with respect to ideology, not as false consciousness, This practice can be carried out following the traditional ways in which it is done from the municipal activity where it has served interests linked to the maintenance of social oppression, or it can deploy coherent ways with social emancipation in which people and human groups become protagonists giving solution to their problems. The research work created a project with a community self-development approach to strengthen the cultural management of the Directorate of Social Development of the Municipality of Pindal, it began with an initial participatory diagnosis on cultural practices, to propose a cultural agenda to improve the management of the social and cultural area of the local government of the canton of Pindal through the methodology of community self-development.

Consumption study using blends of additives and local fuels in combined cycles at 2800 meters above sea level.

2023-04-06T15:02:02-04:00

The increase in the consumption of low octane fuel in Ecuador has meant a loss of performance in engines, to solve this problem a higher octane is needed due to new technologies, taking into account the increase in gasoline prices, it has been decided to use different additives, through this research the influence that additives have on the fuel consumption of vehicles was determined through an analysis in real conditions of the variations in fuel efficiency, using the fuel that is distributed locally and additives that are offered in the DMQ, The quantitative method was implemented with a vehicle of Korean origin with which several combined cycle route tests were carried out using two types of fuel and with the mixture of different additives, an external tank was placed in order to have an exact measurement taking into account the EPA FTP 75 regulations and what the manufacturer's manual says with the geography in which we are located, it was determined that gasoline 6 with additive 2 obtained a significant saving compared to the other tests carried out where a great variation was not obtained in order to determine a lower consumption both in positive slopes and in negative slopes.

Startup and Innovation Technology: Innovation ecosystems to improve agro-commercial business performance in La Troncal

2023-04-05T19:43:19-04:00

The following research arises as part of a project that aims to conduct a study for the implementation of emerging IT tools or startup for the business and agricultural area of the canton La Troncal, for which we have taken a mixed research methodology that will allow us through analysis of reports and studies conducted by government organizations, NGOs and interviews with business owners who provide precision agriculture services such as spraying with drones in the study area. Having as main objective a review of the current situation of the problem to identify the main innovation ecosystems needed to improve the performance of agro-commercial businesses in the Canton La Troncal.

Productivity analysis focusing on internal combustion engine vibration when using local fuels and additives

2023-04-06T17:06:36-04:00

The purpose of this article is to analyze the vibrations and behavior of an internal combustion engine of three vehicles: A1, J1, K1 which are exposed to both the geography, relief and road conditions of the Metropolitan District of Quito. To implement the quantitative methodology in the research it is important to perform a complete analysis of the vehicle based on its technical data sheet: A1, J1, K1, in order to identify both fuel consumption and the use of additives to reduce the friction that cause vibrations in the engine, especially the condition of the road. In addition, it is important to check how the level of vibrations can be reduced, the percentage of fuel when using additives and to verify the data provided by the vibration study of each vehicle. The results show that the tests carried out at 3500 RPM in vehicle A1 show a value of 27%, in vehicle J1 a value of 17% and vehicle K1 a value of 15%, these values are related to the use of additives. The results of the research are linked to field tests, individual tests, comparison of results and discussion of the feasibility of each of the tests performed on each vehicle to find similarities or marked differences.
