  La presente investigación tiene como objetivo analizar el capital de trabajo y el impacto en la rentabilidad de la industria de alimentos Tsáchila “El Gustador”. La metodología utilizada tuvo un enfoque mixto y es de carácter no experimental, descriptivo y explicativo, por lo que se implementaron técnicas como la encuesta, entrevista y observación para la recolección de datos, los mismos que después de haber sido analizados e interpretados mostraron que existen deficiencias respecto a la administración de las cuentas del activo y pasivo a corto plazo, situación que afecta directamente a la liquidez de la industria y la determinación de inversión en el capital de trabajo; identificando que este hecho tiene su origen por una deficiente gestión del inventario y de las cuentas por cobrar pudiendo afectar en un futuro a las ventas de la empresa y por ende a su rentabilidad.   Palabras clave: productividad; liquidez; activo corriente; pasivo corriente.   ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to analyze the working capital and the impact on the profitability of the Tsáchila “El Gustador” food industry. The methodology used had a mixed approach and is non-experimental, descriptive and explanatory, so techniques such as survey, interview and observation were implemented for data collection, which after being analyzed and interpreted showed that there are deficiencies regarding the administration of the short-term asset and liability accounts, a situation that directly affects the liquidity of the industry and the determination of investment in working capital; identifying that this fact originates from poor inventory and accounts receivable management, which may affect the company’s sales in the future and therefore its profitability.   Keywords: productivity; liquidity; current active; current liabilities.

The Impact

The growing popularity of short-term study abroad and faculty-led immersion offer scholars and educators a new opportunity to study the impact of cross-cultural experiential learning practices on fostering cross-cultural competency among business students. Rising foreign direct investment, international trade, the growing significance of emerging markets, and other socio-political elements of globalization are reshaping 21st century business practices. Pedagogies of business education, including sales and marketing education, must adapt to these changes and provide an emphasis on cross-cultural understanding and its impact on business decision making, along with fostering skills for cultural sensitivity. This article will review two relevant theoretical frameworks, transformative learning theory, and experiential learning theory, which describe the processes by which students develop intercultural competence, particularly with respect to faculty-led, short-term study immersion programs. It will outline a series of best practices for designing, measuring, and implementing such programs in higher education and conclude with brief recommendations for future research.

The Impact

This chapter provides an alternative approach to career and technical education (CTE) and the use of e-learning technologies. The authors suggested that, by shifting our emphasis in education from the development of people to meet occupational and economic needs to the development of people as individuals, they might become more successful in meeting occupational and economic goals. Based on lifelong learning, we concentrated on experiential learning, critical reflection, transformative learning, and learning communities as best educational practices. Having established the pedagogical basis for lifelong learning, they will then focus on the impact of e-learning and how it can be used to foster and develop these practices. The authors then discuss how these technologies can be used to help create lifelong learners and a learning society. The authors conclude with a discussion of two groups of CTE learners and how the use of e-learning technologies may help meet their learning, career and life goals.

E-learning has emerged as a necessity to meet the challenges posed by the development of information technology and its potential for greater access to knowledge. E-learning technology is becoming more visible in schools in many parts of the world. Kuwait, like many other countries, has started to study the adoption of an E-learning system in K-12. E-learning in schools must meet certain standards that make students competent in a number of areas. The purpose of this study is to investigate teachers' opinions of the impact of E-learning on the public education system in Kuwait. Based on responses by 519 teachers, to a questionnaire survey consisting of 36 items, the study identifies the following six educational improvement areas: 1) basic operations and computer concepts; 2) ethical and human issues; 3) productivity tools; 4) research tools; 5) problem-solving and decision-making tools; and 6) communication tools.

Tape System

Tape storage is still a cost effective way to keep large amounts of data over a long period of time and it is expected that this will continue in the future. The GridKa tape environment is a complex system of many hardware components and software layers. Configuring this system for optimal performance for all use cases is a non-trivial task and requires a lot of experience. We present the current status of the GridKa tape environment, report on recent upgrades and improvements and plans to further develop and enhance the system, especially with regard to the future requirements of the HEP experiments and their large data centers. The short-term planning mainly includes the transition from TSM to HPSS as the backend and the effects on the connection of dCache and xrootd. Recent changes of the vendor situation of certain tape technologies require a precise analysis of the impact and eventual adaptation of the mid-term planning, in particular with respect to scalability challenge that comes with HL-LHC on the horizon.
