Análisis del impacto económico generado por los Expats en la Planta Turística de la ciudad de Cuenca, período 2012 -2015

La presente investigación se verá enfocada en el análisis del impacto económico generado por los Expats en la planta turística de la ciudad de Cuenca durante el período 2012 - 2015. Para el desarrollo de este proyecto de análisis se comparó información de los establecimientos registrados y no registrados en el catastro turístico del Ministerio de Turismo. Se complementó esta investigación con salidas de campo en donde se realizaron entrevistas a varios especialistas e investigadores además de varios expatriados que residen en Cuenca. Se obtuvieron datos estadísticos, los cuales fueron tabulados y comparados entre los años que enmarcan este sondeo. Los valores obtenidos nos demostraron que la planta turística de la ciudad tuvo un incremento del 4,05%, dentro de los 61 nuevos locales en la ciudad, existen 3 nuevos proyectos en el área de alojamiento, 55 nuevos establecimientos en el área de alimentos y bebidas o restauración. En lo que a transporte turístico se refiere tan solo un local fue puesto al servicio de la comunidad cuenca y extranjera. Finalmente la planta Turística de Cuenca cuenta con tan solo un nuevo establecimiento en lo que a ocio y entretenimiento se refiere. Muchos locales, la gran mayoría de ellos ubicados en el centro histórico de la ciudad y dedicados al servicio de restauración vieron afectados sus ingresos mensuales además de que su promedio semanal de clientes ha disminuido.

Continuity and Change on an Urban Houselot: Archaeological Excavation at the 22 West Street Backlot (18AP51) of the Annapolis National Historic District, Anne Arundel County, Maryland

Intensive archaeological investigation was undertaken on an urban backlot in Annapolis, Maryland. Fieldwork was conducted on behalf of Historic Annapolis Foundation for the property's owners, King and Cornwall, Inc. Supplemental documentary research, an evaluation of existing conditions on the property, and below-ground excavation of a 35 X 70 ft. urban backlot were conducted. While the project was not a Section 106 compliance effort, the field methods and rationale for the site's investigation are comparable to those of standard Phase II site evaluations. Historical documentation attested to the fact that the 22 West Street Backlot, located along the western most edge of the Historic District of Annapolis, Maryland, had seen development and occupation since the first quarter of the eighteenth century. A substantial brick structure was known to have occupied the property in a series of altered forms for much of that period. This structure served a variety of purposes over time: a private residence in the eighteenth century, a boarding house in the nineteenth century (known as the National Hotel), a duplex in the early twentieth century, half of which remained in use until the structure was entirely razed in the 1970s after destruction by fire. Recovery and analysis of site formation processes (i.e., both cultural and natural transformations of the buried remains) indicated that sections of the site were disturbed to a depth of six feet. In contrast to what initially seemed a poor prognosis for site integrity, other areas of the backlot revealed numerous intact historical features and deposits. Structural remains from the dwelling and its associated outbuildings, additions, and attendant trash deposits were recovered. What was initiated as a program of limited testing evolved into a larger-scale undertaking that made use of largely hand-excavated units in conjunction with machine-assisted stripping of areas demonstrated to contain from four to six-foot deep sterile layers of fill. The current investigations provided a window into a portion of the city and period in its history not documented archaeologically. Moreover, this project provided valuable insight into the archaeology of the homelot within a lightly industrialized, urban context. Evidence was recovered of shifts in the layout and arrangement of the houselot as well as changing relations between individuals and the workplace--all within an urban context--an issue defined elsewhere in the archaeological literature as a significant one. No further investigations are recommended for the site, however, further analysis and interpretation of materials recovered are ongoing. In the event that the site were to undergo development, monitoring of any construction activity is recommended.

The utility of sedimentary diatoms as a measure of historical lake ph

As a result of increased acid precipitation, the pH of a large number of Canadian Shield lakes has been falling. Prior to this study there was no documentation available to explain the history of lake acidification for the Algoma area lakes. In order to obtain this information the diatom inferred pH technique was developed in this study. During two field seasons, July 1981 and July 1982, short sediment cores (circa 25-30 cm) were collected from 28 study lakes located north of Lake Superior, District Algoma, Ontario. The surface sediment diatoms (0-1 cm) from each of these lakes were carefully identified, enumerated, and classified in terms of their pH indicator status. The surface sediment diatom analysis indicated that lake pH is one of the most important factors affecting the species composition and relative abundance of diatom populations. Thus diatom assemblages can be sensitive indicators of lake acidification. When Nygaard's index alpha was plotted against observed lake pH, a statistically significant relationship resulted (r=-0.89; p=
