Transpolitics and ICTs: an ethnography of Colocolombians in London = Transpolitica y TICs: una etnografía de los colombianos en Londres

Por: Julián Andrés Riveros Clavijo | Fecha: 2014

Abstract: Through participant observation, digital ethnography, and in-depth interviews, I examine how first generation Colombian immigrants in London use ICTs to participate in politics, both in Colombia and the UK. In Conclusion, I have observed that only highly educated Colombian immigrants use the Internet to participate in politics.Additionally, the reasons that explain the ways they use Internet to engage in politics are two: first, as a way to bypass political systems and institutionalism, and second, to reconnect with the political life of their home country. Resumen: Usando Observación participante, etnografía digital y entrevistas a profundidad, Examino en este artículo cómo algunos inmigrantes colombianos en Londres usan TICs para participar en política, tanto en Colombia como en Gran Bretaña. En conclusión, observamos que únicamente los colombianos altamente educados utilizan internet para participar en política. Adicionalmente, las razonas que explican las formas en que lo usan son dos: primero, como una forma de evitar el sistema político y el institucionalismo, segundo, para reconectarse con la vida política del país que dejaron atrás.

Imagen de apoyo de  Bio-inspired cognitive architecture for adaptive agents based on an evolutionary approach

Bio-inspired cognitive architecture for adaptive agents based on an evolutionary approach

Por: Oscar Javier; Antonio Jiménez Romero López | Fecha: 2008

In this work, an hybrid, self-configurable, multilayered and evolutionary subsumption architecture for cognitive agents is developed. Each layer of the multilayered architecture is modeled by one different Reinforcement Machine Learning System (RMLS) based on bio-inspired techniques. In this research an evolutionary mechanism based on Gene Expression Programming to self-configure the behaviour arbitration between layers is suggested. In addition, a co-evolutionary mechanism to evolve behaviours in an independent and parallel fashion is used too. The proposed approach was tested in an animat environment (artificial life) using a multi-agent platform and it exhibited several learning capabilities and emergent properties for self-configuring internal agent’s architecture.

Ecological integrity in urban forests

Por: Camilo; Duinker Ordóñez Barona | Fecha: 2012

Ecological integrity has been an umbrella concept guiding ecosystem management for several decades. Though plenty of definitions of ecological integrity exist, the concept is best understood through related concepts, chiefly, ecosystem health, biodiversity, native species, stressors, resilience and self-maintenance. Discussions on how ecological integrity may be relevant to complex human-nature ecosystems, besides those set aside for conservation, are growing in number. In the case of urban forests, no significant effort has yet been made to address the holistic concept of ecological integrity for the urban forest system. Preliminary connections between goals such as increasing tree health, maintaining canopy cover, and reducing anthropogenic stressors and the general notion of integrity exist. However, other related concepts, such as increasing biodiversity, the planting of native species, and the full meaning of ecosystem health beyond merely tree health have not been addressed profoundly as contributors to urban forest integrity. Meanwhile, other concepts such as resilience to change and self-maintenance are not addressed explicitly. In this paper we reveal two camps of interpretation of ecological integrity for urban forests that in turn rely on a particular definition of the urban forest ecosystem and a set of urban forest values. Convergence and integration of these values is necessary to bring a constructive frame of interpretation of ecological integrity to guide urban forest management into the future.

Imagen de apoyo de  Climate change vulnerability assessment of the urban forest in three Canadian cities

Climate change vulnerability assessment of the urban forest in three Canadian cities

Por: Camilo; Duinker Ordoñez Barona | Fecha: 2015

Climate change is a likely addition to the unpredictable challenges urban communities will face. Enhancing urban forests has gained prominence as a climate adaptation tool in cities. The fact that urban forests are also vulnerable is now starting to emerge. Many urban forest management professionals do not know how to take climate change into account and what aspects of urban forest vulnerability to climate change to prioritize. Bringing climate change to the forefront of the decision-making process in urban forest management, and urban forests to the forefront of urban climate issues, is important to urban forest success. This paper presents an exploratory assessment of vulnerability to climate change in the Canadian urban forests of Halifax, London, and Saskatoon. The objectives of the assessment were to: 1) identify the elements of urban forest exposure and sensitivity to climate change, the nature of the expected impact, and the adaptive capacities that exist in these three urban forests. 2) assess which of these elements contributes more to urban forest vulnerability to climate change. 3) elicit adaptive strategies based on this information. The method used was participatory and expert-based and allowed for a systematic evaluation of vulnerability. Exposures related to drought, heat stress, and wind, susceptibility of urban trees to insects and diseases, and the sensitivity of young trees and tree species with specific temperature and moisture requirements, are the main concerns regarding the vulnerability of urban forests to climate change in these three cities.

Technology in Northwest Amazonia (NWA) views of views : sustainability, environmental management and territorial ordering. A contribution to a Political Ecology for Northwest Amazonia

Por: Oscar Alfredo Forero Larrañaga | Fecha: 2002

This essay continues with a discussion concerning the intersection between indigenous technological adoption/adaptation and the range of perspectives with respect to local communities’ use of technology in general. Analytical instruments will be presented at the end of this article. First, however, the reader will have the opportunity to examine the ‘views’ of outsiders with respect to the debate surrounding sustainability, environmental management and territorial ordering. Responses to an on-line survey concerning the above issues together with my own comments, will add to the discussion.

Improving Performance in Industrial Internet of Things Using Multi-Radio Nodes and Multiple Gateways

Por: Ricardo Javier Arjona Angarita | Fecha: 2017

IEEE 802.15.4e is emerging as a robust standard for industrial Internet of Things. This standard is particularly effective for low power, multi-hop networks, and typically supports applications with low throughput. However, with the advances in energy harvesting, the need for supporting better performing solutions is also gaining momentum. This paper presents and analyses a modified link scheduling algorithm for IEEE 802.15.4e based solutions. Three approaches are considered. With the first approach, only the gateway node is equipped with multiple radios. With the second approach, non-gateway nodes are equipped with multiple radios as well. With the third approach, multiple single radio gateways are considered. Results from simulations have been presented to demonstrate the improvement in performance compared to the typical single radio, single gateway deployments.

Identifying The Effects Of Simultaneous Monetary Policy Shocks

Por: Mauricio Villamizar Villegas | Fecha: 2015

Many central banks, particularly in the developing world, aim for exchange rate stability as a macroeconomic goal. However, most are reluctant to relinquish monetary policy autonomy, so they end up operating through both interest rate and foreign exchange interventions. But the use of multiple policy instruments does not necessarily equip monetary authorities with better tools to achieve their targets. On the contrary, their effects can potentially offset each other. Using daily data from the Central Bank of Colombia during the period of 1999–2012, I study the effects of simultaneous policies by first deriving new measures of monetary shocks and then determining their impact on economic activity. The main findings indicate that (a) while interest rate interventions have a significant impact on real and nominal variables, foreign exchange interventions tend to have limited effects; and (b) empirical anomalies, such as the positive relationship between output growth, inflation, and the policy rate are eliminated when properly accounting for the systematic responses of policy.

The Rights of Indigenous Peoples in the Light of International Human Rights Law

Por: Luisa María Villa Yepes | Fecha: 2016

In the first part of this study we are going to deal with the problem of definition of an indigenous people in order to identify the subjects of international legal protection. At a second stage it is necessary to seek possible justifications in favor of a special protection of indigenous minorities. Why shall indigenous minorities be granted a privileged status under international law?In the third part of this contribution we will focus on indigenous protection from a general human rights and anti-discrimination perspective. It has to be understood that indigenous rights are an integral part of international human rights law. However, the internal cultural and religious self-determination of indigenous peoples has to be conceived in line with the basic principles of human rights protection. Therefore, we will have to ask whether, after centuries of colonialism, human rights doctrine applies a paternalistic approach towards indigenous minorities and introduces a new kind of colonial domination.

Are the New Physics Contributions from the Left-Right Symmetric Model Important for the Indirect CP Violation in the Neutral B Mesons?

Por: Yeinzon; Quimbay Rodríguez García | Fecha: 2005

Several works analyzing the new physics contributions from the LeftRight Symmetric Model to the CP violation phenomena in the neutral B mesons can be found in the literature. These works exhibit interesting and experimentally sensible deviations from the Standard Model predictions but at the expense of considering a low right scale ?R around 1 TeV. However, when we stick to the more conservative estimates for ?R which say that it must be at least 107 GeV, no experimentally sensible deviations from the Standard Model appear for indirect CP violation. This estimate for ?R arises when the generation of neutrino masses is considered. In spite of the fact that this scenario is much less interesting and says nothing new about both the CP violation phenomenon and the structure of the LeftRight Symmetric Model, this possibility must be taken into account for the sake of completeness and when considering the see-saw mechanism that provides masses to the neutrino sector.

Use of systemic medication in patients with oral lichen planus - a possible association with hypothyroidism

Por: Jairo; Mattsson Robledo Sierra | Fecha: 2013

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Several drugs have been regarded as a possible aetiological factor for oral lichen planus (OLP). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the medication profile of patients with OLP and its possible association with the pathogenesis of OLP. METHODS: Data from 956 patients with OLP and 1029 controls were collected using a standardized registration method. All regular medications were recorded and classified according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System. RESULTS: Patients with OLP used thyroid preparations (P < 0.001) and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (P < 0.01) in higher proportions compared to controls. A multivariate logistic regression model demonstrated that levothyroxine was associated with OLP (multivariate OR 3.39, 95% CI: 2.09-5.46, P < 0.001), even after controlling for confounders, including age, sex, smoking, allergies and systemic diseases. No statistical significance could be found between NSAIDs and OLP using the same model. CONCLUSION: In this study, the use of levothyroxine was associated with OLP, which in turn suggests a possible connection with hypothyroidism." Resumen: ANTECEDENTES: Muchos medicamentos han sido considerados posibles factores etiológicos del liquen plano oral (LPO). OBJETIVO: Investigar el perfil medicamentoso de pacientes con LPO y su posible asociación con la patogénesis del LPO. METODOS: Datos de 956 pacientes con LPO y 1029 controles fueron recolectados usando un método estandarizado de registro. Todos los medicamentos fueron registrados y clasificados de acuerdo al Sistema de Clasificación Anatómica, Terapéutica, Química. RESULTADOS: Los pacientes con LPO usan preparaciones para la tiroides (P < 0.001) y antiinflamatorios no esteroideos (AINEs) (P < 0.01) en mayores proporciones comparado con los controles. Una regresión logística multivariada demostró que la levotiroxina está asociada con LPO (OR multivariado 3.39, 95% CI: 2.09-5.46, P < 0.001), aún después de controlar para factores de confusión, incluyendo edad, sexo, tabaquismo, alergias y enfermedades sistémicas. No se encontró una significancia estadística entre los AINEs y el LPO usando el mismo modelo. CONCLUSION: En este estudio, el uso de levotiroxina está asociado con el LPO, lo cual a su vez sugiere una posible conexión con el hipotiroidismo."
