Rocco, Maria Celia Año: 201 8 ÍNDICE 1 ÍNDICE 1 2 3 Introducción En el siguiente Trabajo Integrador Final de la carrera de Licenciatura en Publicidad de la Fundación UADE, presentaremos una estrategia integral para el anunciante MEDICUS S.A, en adelante “Medicus”, para implementar en el evento del Mundial de Rugby 2019 que se llevará a cabo en Japón durante los meses de Septiembre, Octubre y Noviembre. Las preguntas que sirvieron de base para desarrollar el siguiente trabajo de investigación fueron: ¿Qué?, ¿Dónde?, ¿Por qué?, ¿Quién?, ¿Cómo?. Estas preguntas fueron los primeros interrogantes que nos hicimos al iniciar la investigación y consideramos que fueron de gran utilidad para llegar a nuestro objetivo. Dado que consiste en una campaña que se llevará a cabo durante la competencia mundial de rugby, investigamos acerca de la historia del mundial y tomamos como referencia el Mundial de Rugby 2015 en Inglaterra. En segundo lugar, investigamos acerca del país sede donde se transcurrirá el evento para conocer acerca de su cultura, geografía, la organización del evento y su vínculo con el deporte. Para el tercer capítulo, hicimos énfasis en nuestro vínculo como argentinos con el Rugby, teniendo en cuenta que existen grandes seguidores del deporte y por otro lado aficionados esporádicos. Por esta razón optamos por realizar una comparación entre el rugby y otros deportes en cuanto a su audiencia.

Biden said on Thursday (27) that he would publish the results of the 90-day inquiry, which has made a priority for the intelligence agencies. The move represents a dramatic turnaround from the ad- ministration’s policy until now of leaving the investigation to the World Health Organization (WHO). The US on Thursday called on the WHO to carry out a second phase of its investigation into the origins of the coronavirus, with independent experts given full access to original data and samples in China. “It is critical that China provides independent experts full access to complete, original data and samples relevant to un- derstanding the source of the virus and the early stages of the pan- demic,” said the US mission to the UN in Geneva. Beijing has reacted angrily, portraying Biden’s announcement as part of a broader geopolitical struggle.

    Senado de la Nación Secretaria Parlamentaria Dirección General de Publicaciones (S-1306/11) PROYECTO DE DECLARACIÓN El Senado de la Nación DECLARA Su beneplácito por el triunfo de los Pampas XV en la Vodacom Cup, en Sudáfrica, que representa el primer título obtenido por un equipo argentino profesional de rugby en una competencia mundial. Carlos A. Reutemann. – FUNDAMENTOS Señor presidente: Un equipo argentino de rugby profesional, integrado por jugadores del ámbito local afectados al plan de alto rendimiento (reciben becas otorgadas por la Secretaría de Deportes de nuestro país), resultó vencedor en forma invicta de la Vodacom Cup disputada en Sudáfrica. La Vodacom Cup es el tercer torneo en importancia en el rugby sudafricano, detrás del Súper Rugby (anteriormente llamado Súper 14) y la Currie Cup. O sea que nos estamos refiriendo a un país que es permanente animador de esta especialidad, y que actualmente es el campeón del mundo, por lo que estamos en presencia del máximo nivel competitivo posible en la esfera internacional. Es un hecho particularmente significativo para el deporte argentino ya que se trata del primer título obtenido por un equipo argentino de rugby en una competencia de alcance mundial. Hasta el momento, solo se habían obtenido éxitos en terreno sudamericano. En efecto, en el estadio Olën Park de la ciudad de Otchefstroom, en Sudáfrica, el conjunto denominado Pampas XV se impuso a los locales Blue Bulls (defensores del título) por 14 a 9, logrando la máxima corona en disputa. Las figuras más destacadas de un equipo que se impuso en los once (11) partidos que disputó, fueron el rosarino Juan Imhoff quien aportó 10 tries (fue el máximo anotador en la materia seguido por Agustín Gosio quien logró 8) y el goleador resultó el apertura Nicolás Sánchez, quien alcanzó 85 tantos.
