El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la competitividad empresarial de las empresas privadas de la provincia de Santa Elena, para identificar las ventajas competitivas que tienen a nivel nacional e internacional. La investigación plantea: el marco teórico relacionado con la competitividad empresarial, la técnica utilizada fue la encuesta, con el cuestionario como instrumento, los cuales fueron aplicados a los gerentes o administradores de las empresas privadas de la provincia de Santa Elena, permitiendo obtener la información requerida para el desarrollo de la investigación. Los resultados indicaron que las empresas privadas de la provincia de Santa Elena se encuentran preparadas para ser competitivas en el mercado local e internacional, para el efecto, se deberá fortalecer su competitividad, con la adquisición de programas de gestión, se debe puntualizar que en la parte administrativa existen debilidades, a su vez permitiendo una rápida y eficaz respuesta a las inquietudes sobre mejoramiento de las competencias. AbstractThe objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the business competitiveness of the private companies of the Province of Santa Elena in order to identify the competitive advantages they have at national and international level. The research proposes: the theoretical framework related to business competitiveness, the technique used was the survey, with the questionnaire as an instrument, which were applied to the managers or administrators of Private companies of the Province of Santa Elena allowing to obtain the required information For the development of research. The results indicated that the Private companies of the Province of Santa Elena are prepared to be competitive in the local and international market, therefore, it should strengthen that all of them are competitive, the acquisition of management programs, it should be pointed out that in The administrative side has weaknesses, in turn allowing a quick and effective response to the concerns about improving skills.

Important Addition

Abstract Gilead et al. state that abstraction supports mental travel, and that mental travel critically relies on abstraction. I propose an important addition to this theoretical framework, namely that mental travel might also support abstraction. Specifically, I argue that spontaneous mental travel (mind wandering), much like data augmentation in machine learning, provides variability in mental content and context necessary for abstraction.

Peripheral Facial Palsy

Abstract. This paper reviews adaptive and maladaptive mechanisms of cortical plasticity in patients suffering from peripheral facial palsy. As the peripheral facial nerve is a pure motor nerve, a facial nerve lesion is causing an exclusive deefferentation without deafferentation. We focus on the question of how the investigation of pure deefferentation adds to our current understanding of brain plasticity which derives from studies on learning and studies on brain lesions. The importance of efference and afference as drivers for cortical plasticity is discussed in addition to the crossmodal influence of different competitive sensory inputs. We make the attempt to integrate the experimental findings of the effects of pure deefferentation within the theoretical framework of cortical responses and predictive coding. We show that the available experimental data can be explained within this theoretical framework which also clarifies the necessity for maladaptive plasticity. Finally, we propose rehabilitation approaches for directing cortical reorganization in the appropriate direction and highlight some challenging questions that are yet unexplored in the field.
