Investigating a New Project Center: Cuenca, Ecuador INVESTIGATING A NEW PROJECT CENTER: CUENCA, ECUADOR A report that analyzes Cuenca, Ecuador as a project center for students to complete their Interactive Qualifying Project. Interactive Qualifying Project Report completed in partial fulfillment of the Bachelor of Science degree at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA Submitted to: Project Center Director Laureen Elgert & Local Coordinator Gary Pollice Sponsoring Agency: Worcester Polytechnic Institute – Interdisciplinary and Global Studies Division Submitted By: Kyle Cederberg Bianca Espinoza Robert LaFlamme Marissa San Andres __________________________ Advisor Signature Date: December 17th, 2015 Abstract This study, prepared for Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), details how Cuenca, Ecuador could serve the university as an international center for students to complete their Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP). We used preferences of faculty and students derived from survey results and interviews, guidelines provided by the university, and information about existing centers to identify qualities appropriate for a new IQP project center. Through a literature review and an on-site investigation, we assessed Cuenca‘s suitability and recommended specific housing, sponsors, and projects. i Table of Contents Abstract

Understanding, documentation and appropriate use of new records are essential, especially when managing threatened species. Here we present novel data regarding new distributional records for 17 bird species along the Amazonian slopes of the eastern Ecuadorian Andes. The new records fill gaps on our knowledge in the distribution, both in latitude and altitude. Although knowledge on the distribution of birds on mainland Ecuador has been well studied (Fjeldså Rostrhamus sociabilis ACCIPITRIDAE during recent years an inspiring number of articles have Snail Kite Cassin, 1854 - Two beenand Krabbe published 1990; documenting Ridgely and newGreenfield discoveries 2001; on2006), the individuals in juvenile plumage were seen flying over the distribution of birds in mainland Ecuador (e.g. Freile old-Zamora Airstrip on 6 March 2008, Zamora-Chinchipe et al. province (950 m a.s.l., 03°59’ S, 78°53’ W).

Si traggono bilanci, cose fatte e non fatte, si danno indirizzi, consigli, esortazioni. Si mettono a fuoco i problemi nella nostra Italia, i problemi dell’Europa e quelli del mondo intero. Si esortano i partiti politici a pensare agli Italiani e non alle loro sedie, al loro potere. Si spinge per un dialogo serio, costruttivo, finalizzato al benessere di tutti e non solo a quello della loro bottega. Sono tutte belle parole, buoni intenti, buoni propositi che vengono disattesi, dimenticati un minuto dopo.

  • Food for Thought How Food and Economics Intersect in Rural Ecuador
    Food For thought How Food and Economics Intersect in Rural Ecuador lindsay stone dietary trends can have large implications on public health. there is a strong physiological connection between food consumption and one’s well-being. thus nutrition is an important factor in a nation’s overall health. many factors contribute to how and why an individual eats certain foods. in ecuador, historical, socioeconomic, cultural, behavioral, and environmental factors influence the different diets, and thereby, the nutritional conditions, of different ethnic, and regional geographic populations. discrepancies among these groups are particularly noticeable in sierra, ecuador’s the highland region. this paper examines the prevalence of malnutrition across ecuador. specifically, it considers how the ecuadorian diet took shape, and how different sub-cuisines contribute to malnutrition. while all regions are considered, a focus is placed primarily on the sierra, given that levels of malnutrition are noticeably higher in this region, and that this highland area is home to large rural and indigenous communities who are most significantly impacted by the area’s nutritional conditions. Fried plantains, steamed tubers, spice-rubbed beef, that distinguish a given dish or food item as belonging to empanadas, sipping chocolate, flour tortillas… such is just specific categories; foods can be distinguished as belonging a sampling of the variety of foods and meals that can be to the “highland/lowland [or] north/central/south,” as found across the different geographical regions of Ecua- “urban/rural [or] “province/capital” fare, as stereotypically dor.
