Tourism and regional development as an expression of the globalization. Case.- Mexico-Cuba

Tourism has been considered, in recent years, as a strategy for creating tourist regions, to meet local and international demand; Tourism activity has been considered an ideal one to incorporate national regions into global market dynamics. Starting with tourism, countries seek to incorporate the benefits of global currency mobility. In turn, incorporate the resident population of the region into employment or underemployment, as a government policy. This research focuses on the detection of the most iconic regional points of the Mexican and Cuban republic, based on their development of tourist activity, and their links, as a central element of economic dynamics. The foregoing, framed from globalization as a factor of integration of tourist regions. Cross-sectional study, with an explanatory scope; The objective is to expose the most relevant tourist regions of the two countries, as well as their economic dynamics in the region. The document that is exposed is a second installment of a larger investigationnthat is in the process of being concluded.

<p>Thailand’s population is aging rapidly. As of 2011, statistics have shown that there has been a constant increase in the percentage of the population aged 60 and older. This study evaluates the causal issues of income deficiency among the elderly in Thailand. The timeline for the study includes two national representative surveys of elderly people, one in 2007 and another in 2011, with double-stage sampling techniques being utilized. The sample is comprised of 30,427 and 34,173 participants in 2011 and 2007, respectively, all aged 60 years and older. SPSS 18 was employed for logistic regression and cross-tabulation analysis. A general decrease in income deficiency was observed in 2011 (38.6%) compared to 2007 (41.9%). The northern region exhibited a higher prevalence of income insufficiency compared to the southern region. Regardless of the prevailing benefit policies for the elderly, the current results demonstrate the need for an augmented government policy that supports elderly individuals facing income deficiency. </p>

Abstract A study by Yaruss and Quesal (2002), based on responses from 134 of 239 ASHA accredited graduate programs, indicated that approximately 25% of graduate programs in the United States allow students to earn their degree without having coursework in fluency disorders and 66% of programs allow students to graduate without clinical experience treating people who stutter (PWS). It is not surprising that many clinicians report discomfort in treating PWS. This cross-sectional study compares differences in beliefs about the cause of stuttering between freshman undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory course in communicative disorders and graduate students enrolled and in the final weeks of a graduate course in fluency disorders.

Set Up

Abstract. Conflict avoidance increases across the adult lifespan. This cross-sectional study looks at conflict avoidance as part of a mechanism to regulate belongingness needs ( Sheldon, 2011 ). We assumed that older adults perceive more threats to their belongingness when they contemplate their future, and that they preventively react with avoidance coping. We set up a model predicting conflict avoidance that included perceptions of future nonbelonging, termed anticipated loneliness, and other predictors including sociodemographics, indicators of subjective well-being and perceived social support (N = 331, aged 40–87). Anticipated loneliness predicted conflict avoidance above all other predictors and partially mediated the age-association of conflict avoidance. Results suggest that belongingness regulation accounts may deepen our understanding of conflict avoidance in the second half of life.

The One

This investigation focuses on the question whether assessments of the development of internalizing behavior from childhood to adolescence are affected by the kind of research design (longitudinal versus cross-sectional). Two longitudinal samples of 432 second-graders and 366 fourth graders participated in a longitudinal study with subsequent measurements taken 1, 2, and 3 years later. A third sample consisting of 849 children covering the same range of grades participated in a cross-sectional study. The results show that the development of internalizing symptoms in girls – but not in boys – varies systematically with the research design. In girls, there is a decrease of internalizing symptoms (especially between the first two timepoints) in the longitudinal assessment, which may reflect, for example, the influence of strain during the first testing situation. Both longitudinal trajectories converge to a common trajectory from grade 2 to grade 7 when controlling for this “novelty-distress effect.” Moreover, when we control this effect, the slight but significant decrease characterizing the common trajectory becomes similar to the one obtained in the cross-sectional study. Therefore, trajectories based on longitudinal assessments may suggest more changes with regard to internalizing symptoms over time than actually take place, while trajectories based on cross-sectional data may be characterized by an increased level of internalizing symptoms. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.
