Agrimonitor, tool of the international development bank for agricultural policies in ecuador.

Introduction. Agriculture is one of the most important economic sectors for Latin American countries. Government policies should be aimed at strengthening this agricultural sector for the food security of the countries, with the appropriate measures for the protection of the environment. The role of agriculture in the economy reaffirms the thesis that it is important not only because it constitutes the way of life of millions of people in the Ecuadorian countryside, but also because it is a strategic sector that contributes directly to rural territorial development, and therefore, to the economic and social development of the country. Revaluing the peasant producer and repositioning agriculture and rural life is one of the main challenges of continuous policy evaluation. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has created a platform with agricultural data from Latin American countries - Agrimonitor. Objective. The problem addressed in this research is that the government of Ecuador and its exporters of agricultural products should use this platform to better direct their production, the objective is to make this tool and its management known to take advantage of the country's agricultural sector. Methodology. The research design is qualitative with the method of observation and reading of documents issued by the IDB and works related to the issue of strengthening agricultural production in the country.

Does making medical need of thinking philosophical?

Today, as in no previous era, the transcendence that technological scientific development has acquired in the life of society, in all areas of its existence, is incomparable, this is an impossible fact to ignore, and it necessarily leads to a reflection on the implications that poses such a problem for life on the planet. A world that is transformed with unusual rapidity as a result of human actions should necessarily be embodied in respect for the essential values and rights of the individual and of everything that lives. It is not possible to ignore the social responsibility of the scientist before his investigative results, it is not possible today, to do science detached from a humanist conception centered on respect for all that is alive and for the value of human dignity; It is not possible to ignore the philosophical reflection that involves the treatment that implies the consequences of technological scientific development whatever the spheres of knowledge that are analyzed. However, even when it seems that such an understanding of the subject is accepted by a large number of scholars, it is significant to observe how disdainful attitudes are still found towards the need for dialogue between philosophical thinking and scientific endeavor, even in directly related areas of knowledge. With the life of man as are the medical sciences. This situation has motivated the development of this reflection, with the sole purpose of deepening once more the need for the relationship between Philosophy and Medicine.

The research analyzes the data that allow verifying the impact that the development of the oil sector had on the hotel activity of Coca in the Amazonian north of Ecuador during the period 2010 to 2019. The hotels were characterized for which interviews were applied that allow understanding the reality regarding the perception of the incidence of the oil crisis in its management. In addition, data related to variations in the price of a barrel of crude oil, as well as its production and export are detailed, which are contrasted with the economic evolution of the hotel activity. Methodology. The investigation is qualitative quantitative. The analysis of the primary information collected through interviews is qualitative in which: "the collection of data without numerical measurement is used to describe or refine research questions in the interpretation process" Ander-Egg (1982), and the analysis of the secondary information obtained from the bulletins of the Central Bank of Ecuador is quantitative, to determine the intensity of the correlation of the variables under study. The research was based on an inductive process, to obtain perspectives, opinions and points of view from those involved. Results. Pearson's correlation coefficient has a value of 0.810, which shows a high positive linear correlation between oil exports and hotel demand in the oil segment in the city of Coca. The higher the oil revenues, the hotel demand in this segment increases and when an oil crisis occurs, the hotel demand drops. The statistical significance measured at two tails was 0.004, which indicates a highly significant dependency relationship between oil revenues and hotel demand in the oil segment. The hotel demand based on tourists from the Yasuní National Park was not significant.
