Such action may be constrained by prevailing socio-economic and place-specific conditions that restrict or inform the choice of protective measures available to the individual. Vulnerability to the impacts of extreme geophysical events increases when the range of alternatives is limited or misinformed. Many evacuees from a potentially violent volcanic eruption in Ecuador returned to their home town of Banos while it was still under an evacuation order in 2000 and considered to be a high risk area by officials. / ABSTRACT: The research examined four main questions: (1) What economic conditions confronted Baños evacuees? (2) What political or other social events occurred while they were evacuated that limited their perceived range of options? (3) What information was available about prior eruptions of the volcano and other local natural hazards? and (4) What were the characteristics of the economic base of Baños? These questions were investigated using data from interviews with evacuees, government and non-governmental officials, census and other statistical information, scholarly texts and newspaper reports. The research suggests that economic conditions made it extremely difficult for people to relocate to other communities. When a violent eruption did not occur immediately, and few direct impacts of the eruptions were experienced in Banos, many people chose to return home in an effort to reestablish themselves economically. / ABSTRACT: These people perceived the volcano hazard in Baños to be far less threatening than the economic destitution associated with evacuation. This perception may have been influenced by factors other than the socio-economic context, including efforts of political leaders and tourist business owners to effect the town's economic recovery. These efforts included an aggressive publicity campaign that minimized the risk posed by the volcano. Besides encouraging tourists to return, the campaign also encouraged evacuees to do so. Finally, among some residents, religious beliefs may have contributed to perceptions that they would not be harmed in the event of an explosive eruption. / System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader. / Mode of access: World Wide Web.

Este trabajo está enfocado en la relación entre la productividad y la riqueza de especies de helechos terrestres, y en la disponibilidad de nutrientes a través de un gradiente altitudinal en Ecuador. El trabajo de campo fue realizado durante tres años entre 2009 y 2011, el cual fue llevado a cabo en 8 niveles altitudinales entre 500m y 4000m en la Cordillera Oriental de los Andes ecuatorianos. Diversidad, biomasa, productividad y caracteres funcionales de las hojas de los helechos terrestres fueron estudiados en tres cuadrantes permanentes de 400m2 por cada elevación. Se reportaron un total de 91 especies de helechos terrestres en 32 géneros y 18 familias. A través del gradiente altitudinal, el pico más alto de riqueza de especies se registró en elevaciones medias y la riqueza de especies estuvo débilmente relacionada a medidas de productividad del ecosistema y más fuerte relacionado a la productividad de los hehechos terrestres, lo cual podría estar determinado por un incremento en el número de individuos de helechos y por la disponibilidad de nichos. Sin embargo, en cada nivel altitudinal la relación entre la riqueza de especies de helechos y la productividad de helechos fue negativa, lo cual principalmente se debe a la competencia interespecífica; es decir, en ambas escalas espaciales de este estudio, la diversidad de helechos parece estar limitada por el número de nichos disponibles y la competencia para ocupar estos nichos. Al comparar los caracteres funcionales de las hojas de helechos y árboles a través del gradiente altitudinal se observó similaridades entre ellos. Sin embargo, se encontró una diferencia en el área específica de las hojas entre helechos y árboles, lo cual refleja los diferentes niveles de luz de ambas formas de vida. Respecto los cambios altitudinales en biomasa y productividad de helechos y árboles se encontró una notable diferencia entre estas dos formas de vida, lo cual apoya la hipótesis de que ambos grupos de plantas están creciendo limitados por diferentes factores.

Identifica los componentes de los modelos educativos que han sido utilizados por las universidades de Guayaquil en Ecuador, que evidencia la incidencia que tienen las dimensiones pedagógicas y organizacionales en la calidad profesional de los estudiantes. De igual manera establece que la calidad de la formación profesional se ha visto afectada por la implantación de estos, ya que siguen objetivos institucionales, que presentan un distanciamiento entre las capacidades de los graduandos y los requerimientos del mercado laboral. Se demuestra que las universidades han socializado sus modelos, pero en la aplicación existe una desatención en la aplicación de los componentes educativos que incide en la formación profesional de los dicentes, sobre las metodologías y estrategias adecuadas para alcanzar los objetivos planificados. Se describen los componentes de los modelos educativos implementados por las universidades y se explican los efectos que estos producen en los procesos educativos de sus estudiantes, que permiten determinar la importancia de su aplicación que hace que se diferencien unas de otras, lo que incide en la importancia del modelo para cada institución de educación superior. / Tesis

O presente trabalho estuda sua trajetória intelectual e profissional no período compreendido entre 1959 e 1987, com o objetivo de compreender as condições socioculturais locais e internacionais do surgimento da segunda geração latino-americana de historiadores das ciências na década de 1980. O período de 1959 a 1987 da vida de Estrella contempla sua educação universitária em Quito, sua especialização médica na Espanha, sua profissionalização em órgãos públicos equatorianos de educação e serviços médicos, e sua transformação em historiador das ciências através de pós-graduações em história em Quito e em Madrid. As fontes primárias utilizadas foram sua obra intelectual no período apontado e a documentação de seu arquivo pessoal e dos órgãos em que estudou e trabalhou. A análise de sua trajetória permite-nos concluir que as tarefas acadêmicas de Estrella sempre estiveram estreitamente vinculadas aos fatores culturais, sociais e históricos da medicina no Equador. Por isso, seu interesse pela história das ciências foi consequência da importância que deu aos aspectos socioculturais relacionados com a medicina. / Eduardo Estrella Aguirre (Tabacundo, 1941 – Quito, 1996) was a psychiatrist who studied Ecuador’s scientific past under the social history of science context and founded part of the Latin American Society of History of Science and Technology in 1984. This paper studies his intellectual and professional career in the period between 1959 and 1987 in order to understand local and international cultural conditions of the emergence of the second generation of historians of Latin American science in the 1980s. The period from 1959 to 1987 of Estrella’s life provides an insight into his university education in Quito, medical specialization in Spain, professional career in Ecuadorian public institutions for education and medical services, and the development to historian of science through postgraduate studies in history from Quito and Madrid. The primary sources used were his intellectual work in the indicated period and documents from his personal archive and from entities in which he studied and worked. The analysis of his career allows us to conclude that Estrella’s academic work was always closely linked to the cultural, social and historical factors of medicine in Ecuador. Therefore, his interest in the history of science was a consequence of the importance he gave to the sociocultural aspects of medicine.

A partir de la revisión de dos ámbitos de la relación Estado/pueblos indígenas —esto es, territorialidad y autonomía, proyectos minero energéticosy consulta previa—, se pretende analizar los avances, retrocesos y vaciamientos vividos en esta relación durante el período 1990-2013, con el fin de aportar a la discusión de esta problemática en los demás países que viven circunstancias semejantes enAmérica Latina. Especial importancia tienen para el caso ecuatoriano las constituciones de 1998 y 2008, en las cuales se reconoció el carácter pluricultural y pluriétnico del Estado ecuatoriano en la primera, yel carácter plurinacional e intercultural en la segunda. Asimismo, el movimiento indígena, desde su surgimiento como actor en la política nacional desde 1990, no solo ha sido pionero y referente en la región, sino que ha sido impugnador del proceso de extractivismo llevado adelante por el Estado. / From the review of two areas of relative state / indigenous peoples, territoriality, mining and energy projects and consultation, is to analyze the progress, setbacks and dissections lived in this relationshipduring the period 1990-2013, to contribute to the discussion of this problem in other countries experiencing similar circumstancesin Latin America. Of particular importance is the case of Ecuador to the constitutions of 1998 and 2008, in which the multiethnic and multicultural nature of the Ecuadorian State acknowledged at the first, and the plurinational and intercultural character in the second. Likewise, the indigenous movement since its emergence as an actor in national politics since 1990, has not only been a pioneer and leader in the region, but has been challenger extractivismo process carried outby the state.

Evidence for the earliest inhabitants of the territory known as Ecuador demonstrates the limitations of the archaeological record inthe highlands and along the Andean slopes, and the relative abundance of evidence for a long preceramic occupation on the Santa Elena Peninsula, including the Pre-Las Vegas phase. The Early and Late Las Vegas phases represent an early and well-studied adaptation to a rich coastal zone where people adopted the cultivation of plants at the beginning of the Holocene. Recent finds in the coastal lowlands (Guayas Basin) provoke this discussion of the peopling of Ecuador and an analysis of the development of regional adaptations in the Early Holocene. / Las evidencias de los primeros pobladores en el territorio conocido como Ecuador demuestran las limitaciones del registro arqueológico en la sierra y en la montaña andina, y, a la vez, la abundancia relativa de información para la larga ocupación precerámica en la península de Santa Elena. Las fases Las Vegas Temprano y Las Vegas Tardío representan una adaptación a los abundantes recursos del litoral, donde el cultivo de plantas se inició de manera temprana en el Holoceno. Nuevos hallazgos en las tierras bajas de la cuenca del río Guayas motivan la presente discusión acerca del poblamiento del Ecuador y un análisis del desarrollo de las adaptaciones regionales en el Holoceno Temprano.

Impacts of land use and climate change in tropical forests on the global carbon budget are of principal interest in the recent research, as these forests amount to about 48 % of the world’s forested area. Interest has been focused on lowland tropical forests mainly, but tropical montane forests occupy about 20 % of all tropical forests. Soils of tropical montane forests are frequently waterlogged and characterised by high soil organic carbon stocks. Furthermore, along altitudinal gradients, changes in stand structure and net primary production can be observed that have not been fully explained yet. As causes reduced microbial activity and nitrogen turnover in soils of tropical montane forests have been suggested. Against the background of climate change, carbon turnover mechanisms in soils of these forests are of special interest. The present study therefore aimed at determining and quantifying relevant carbon and nitrogen pools as well as nitrogen mineralisation potentials. Furthermore, size, activity, and structure of microbial biomass were characterised. The collected data was supposed to provide basic knowledge on carbon and nitrogen cycling in tropical montane forest soils. Thus, evaluation of the susceptibility of their carbon stocks for climate change as well as nitrogen and carbon limitation of microbial organic matter decomposition was possible. Field work of this study was conducted during 2003–2005 at an altitudinal transect that in- cluded five study sites between 1 050 and 3 060 m amsl. Total soil respiration was recorded biweekly over two years, the contribution of roots to total soil CO2 efflux over one year. Soils of the study sites were sampled twice and biochemical and microbial parameters were determined.
