Imagen de apoyo de Non Timber Forest Products In Colombia: Review Of Constraints For Effective Commercialisation = Productos Forestales no Maderables en Colombia: Revisión de los Cuellos de Botella para su Efectiva Comercialización

Por: Rodrigo Martínez | Fecha: 2004

A review of the main issues that affect the livelihoods of non timber forest products (NTFP) focusing on the commercialisation issues of gatherers/producers and traders, was made for Colombia. It aimed to investigate broadly which are some of the cultural, economic, social, environmental, marketing and legislative issues that affect the outcomes for NTFP livelihoods. The sustainable rural livelihood framework was used to understand the main issues affecting NTFP livelihoods and to propose alternatives to improve the constraints found in NTFP development and commercialisation. The study identify the great importance of NTFP local and regional markets for rural development, and some data was given for international markets in order to understand the magnitude of the commerce and the possibilities that might arise for some promissory products. The review of some institutional and organisation incentives influencing NTFP production and commercialisation was undertaken by reviewing the forestry policies and some of its instruments. The study used secondary data of reports made mainly in Latin-America. The report concludes that the policies and norms that influence NTFP, such as the forestry policy and plans do not consider the importance of NTFP for social and environmental objectives. For NTFP research, the analysis of the commercialisation process is strongly co-related to social networks, ecology, cultural taboos, norms for management of NTFP and effectiveness of support organisations. NTFP livelihoods can be seriously affected by government organisations and NGO’s if they are treated as traditional commodities because of the fragility and uniqueness of their ecology, economy and social structures. The report gives some recommendations to government agencies and researchers that wish to mend the constraints found for NTFP successful development.

Imagen de apoyo de The challenges of legal transplants in a globalized context: A case study on ‘working’ examples = Los desafíos de los trasplantes legales en un contexto globalizado: Estudio de casos positivos

Por: María Paula Reyes Gaitán | Fecha: 2014

Globalization has led legal systems to influence each other throughout history and legal transplants have not been immune to that process either. Nowadays we do not just see examples of legal transplants but come across cases of 'cross-fertilization' of case law. An emergence of unstudied trends that have spread around the world in a voluntary and involuntary way across legal cultures can also be witnessed. However it seems that legal transplants have been largely misunderstood and have been condemned as mere copy-paste exercises due to their history. This paper studies the different theories of legal transplants in comparative law and also analyses some particular cases that have eventually ‘worked’ efficiently both in the country of origin and in the country where those laws were adopted. We can no longer say that legal transplants are impossible; they are a reality we cannot run away from. Amongst the many challenges faced by this phenomenon, the primary one is to overcome all the obstacles imposed by a ‘legal globalization’ that is threatening developing countries by focusing more on the liberalization of markets, rather than on policies supporting social welfare. Despite this fact, there is still hope for a new concept of ‘legal globalization’, one that includes executing a serious study of the trends that not only developing countries are in need of, but also is a need of the developed countries, which is the adoption of policies towards social welfare, one of the biggest challenges that face modern legal comparatists today.

Imagen de apoyo de Coupling level set methods with the ensemble kalman filter for conditioning geological facies models to well and production data

Por: David Leonardo Moreno Bedoya | Fecha: 2009

In the work we developed a new methodology based on the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) and the level set method for the continuous model updating of geological facies with respect to production and static (well logs) data. We modelled geological facies using a level set representation and further conditioned them to production and static data using the ensemble Kalman filter. The history matching was done in a continuous fashion since the filter does not depend on previous states and updates parameters and states of the physical system as it receives data from the fields. The methodology is completely new and may provide an alternative to the pluri-Gaussian method with competitive complexity times. Further, the methodology allows to involve prior knowledge of the reservoir as a template base case in a Bayesian-like update. The methodology was tested and compare to others and implemented on a real 3D north-sea and synthetic reservoirs.

Imagen de apoyo de Escarabajos. No. 10 - Egan Bernal: el niño de oro

Por: Banco de la República (Bogotá). Subgerencia Cultural | Fecha: 2021

Egan Bernal, el niño de oro, se convirtió en 2019 en el ciclista más joven en ganar el Tour desde 1909. Con solo 22 años y sin ser el líder principal de su equipo, demostró que tenía más fuerza en el momento clave y venció. Bernal empezó su carrera en el ciclomontañismo, donde demostró que tenía aptitudes por encima de los mejores promedios. De allí saltó al ciclismo de ruta, donde empezó a cosechar victorias desde temprano. Nacido en Zipaquirá, igual que Efraín “El Zipa” Forero, Bernal heredó una larga tradición y materializó con su victoria en el Tour de Francia la apuesta más ambiciosa y antigua del ciclismo colombiano.

Imagen de apoyo de Network selection games: simulation tool development and performance evaluation = Selección de redes mediante juegos: desarrollo de herramienta de simulación y evaluación de rendimiento

Por: Camilo Javier Pineda Sopó | Fecha: 2010

The present thesis work is motivated in the recent developments of wireless access technologies, which have given noticeable changes on both operator and end-user side. From the operator side, the wireless access networks have evolved from 1st generation technologies (1G) up to 3rd generation technologies (3G) during the last three decades. Additionally, 4th generation networks (4G) based in advanced radio technologies are already in development phases. The proliferation of wireless access networks yields opportunities to the end-user, however it can also induce a additional problematic due to the complexity of the network to be operated. Therefore, the end-user has the possibility to choose dynamically which access technology (access network) to connect to, in order to obtain the required service. From the moment the decisions from the users occur in a distributed, non-coordinated and generally opportunistic way, the access to wireless networks process dynamics are in a need to be studied. The present thesis work, analyses the competitive access problem by means of game theory. In particular, non-cooperative game models in which the users tend to maximize their individual utility from the access problem are considered. The thesis work presents the development and implementation of a software instrument capable of simulating game dynamics individualizing equilibria conditions and measuring the transition length to reach such equilibria (convergence time). The second part of the thesis work includes the analysis of different realistic wireless access networks considering different access strategies which are selected by the end-users and different utility function formulations with which the players “play” the game.

Imagen de apoyo de From Pastrana to Uribe: counterinsurgency in Colombia = De Pastrana a Uribe: contrainsurgencia en Colombia

Por: Luis Felipe Rojas Dueñas | Fecha: 2012

Colombian citizens and the government have faced a harsh and violent threat for more than 40 years. The guerrillas and specifically FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia) have plunged the whole nation into violence, terror and death from generation to generation. Having the civil population under menace, the Colombian government has to act prudently but also quickly to avoid terrorism to take the control of the forces. The state has had to deal with this complex and difficult trouble by combating FARC through the counterinsurgency (COIN), which implies allocating sufficient resources to success and developing policies to assure the supremacy of the government over all groups outside the law. This study investigates the history of FARC’s insurgency in Colombia, the qualitative essence of this insurgency’s transitional phases and the Colombian government’s strategy towards opposing FARC. The foremost idea, the validity of which is being explored throughout the course of this study’s entirety, as that it is specifically by continuing to adhere to the methodological provisions of an integrative counterinsurgency campaign that the government will continue to score successes in its struggle against this notorious organization. This change towards a better integrative strategy is represented by the shift from the Pastrana government to the Uribe government.

Imagen de apoyo de Exploration of work-family enrichment as a perceived success factor by German Managers = Exploración del muto enriquecimiento trabajo-familia percibido como un factor de éxito por Gerentes alemanes

Por: Ángela Viviana Baquero Correa | Fecha: 2013

The study was designed to explore how work-family enrichment is perceived by German managers and how it is acknowledged within the context of career success. This was developed throughout the qualitative content analysis of in-depth interviews conducted to both male and female German managers, which included the coding and categorization of the data obtained with the software for professional text analysis and content analysis MAXQDA PLUS®. The study intended additionally to explore German managers´ notions on career success, schemes and strategies used by them in order to benefit the most from the work and family combined environment. Differences between the past and current notions on work-family enrichment before and after reaching the managerial position as well as gender dissimilarities on the topics were also part of the aim of the study and will be briefly discussed. German managers do experience bi-directional work-family enrichment through a conception of role accumulation that promotes positive effects of one domain on the other. Career success is perceived by German managers through many subjective and objective discernments in which it is definitely included work-family enrichment as a success factor. Especially for female German managers.

Imagen de apoyo de Good practices for a sustainable transport: Travel behaviour, symbolism and motives for car uses in developing cities

Por: Andrés Cuéllar Espinosa | Fecha: 2013

A research was carried out with the purpose to find the symbolism and preferences of the use of the car in Bogota; since it is believed that one of the crucial factors for a more rational use of the car is linked with the symbolism-affective motives that the car represents. It was applied 44 semi-structured interviews to a sample of subjects between 18 and 60 years that live in different sectors of the city of Bogota and that are economically able to have a private car. The results suggest that there is a gap between public transport and car use; motivating car users to prefer its own car. Security, comfort and social status highlighted as the main points to analyse in order to promote alternative modes of transportation such as carpool and public bicycle.
