Development of a Reliability and Availability Analysis for Ecopetrol S.A. Castilla 2 crude oil treatment station
After crude oil extraction, separation and treatment are probably the most important stages within different oil and gas business processes. Efficiency to separate crude oil from water and gas is directly related with production outputs and profits of oil companies. Ecopetrol S.A. being Colombia’s national oil production company has many different production facilities, being the Superintendence of Castilla – Chichimene one of the largest ones, producing a third of the total oil amount produced by Ecopetrol which borders up to 560.000 barrels of oil per day.
The present study develops a reliability and availability analysis of Castilla 2 crude oil treatment station, which is the leading separation plant of the Superintendence, having paramount relevance on final oil production rates. The aim of this work is set on the identification of critical bottle necks and underperforming equipment within the process that can affect the overall availability of the treatment station, developing a model able to provide valuable information for decision making processes related with the sustainability or improvement of current production goals through the assessment of achievable availability and reliability values.
In order to develop a realistic analysis, recognition of critical equipment is made and its results used to propose a plant grouping model based on functional blocks, systems and main processes. Moreover, real maintenance information has been retrieved from different existing databases and used to construct and define parameters of individual failure distributions on each one of the equipment selected for the study.
A reliability block diagram capable to describe functional relationships of the elements, systems and processes of the treatment plant was developed. Through this model, quantitative analysis and measurements were made allowing identification of elements and combinations prone to generate major downtime. Several availability simulation were used to find sensitive points within the plant that can affect overall production goals, while proposed actions and plant modifications were introduced into the model to assess their benefits and effectiveness towards production and availability improvement.

Protección de marcas extranjeras notorias en el acuerdo de promoción comercial entre Colombia y Estados Unidos
Análisis sobre las disposiciones relacionadas con marcas notorias en el Tratado de Promoción Comercial entre Colombia y Estados Unidos y su aplicación en ambos países. El artículo enfatiza en la protección que Estados Unidos y Colombia le han otorgado a las marcas extranjeras que son notorias y si, a la luz de la normativa vigente en cada país, el artículo que adopta el Tratado de Promoción Comercial entre Colombia y Estados Unidos sería vinculante para las partes.

South-South Migration and Education: Sociocultural Perspectives
Abstract:
The world is witnessing an era of unprecedented human mobility: International migrants grew from 100 million in 1960 to 155 million in 2000, and to 214 million in 2010 (UNDESA). However, there is insufficient attention to how migration and education interact to influence social and economic mobility. This article considers the relationship between migration and education. In the first section, we draw upon anthropological theorizing of mobility and citizenship to propose a conceptual framework for the topic.
We then examine research from three migration flows: youth of Haitian descent living in the Dominican Republic, Colombians in Ecuador, and children of Mexican mothers who have migrated to the United States. The analyses of these cases emphasize the importance of access and inclusion, schools as key sites for governing subjects, and the strategies developed by migrants to secure schooling. In the conclusion, we outline directions for future research that would enable a stronger analysis of the relationships between education and migration and the development of Migration and Education as a field of inquiry.
Resumo:
O mundo está testemunhando uma era de mobilidade humana sem precedentes: os migrantes internacionais aumentaram de 100 milhões em 1960 para 155 milhões em 2000 e para 214 milhões em 2010 (UNDESA). No entanto, dá-se pouca importância à forma como a migração e a educação interagem para influenciar a mobilidade social e econômica. Este artigo considera a relação entre migração e educação.
Na primeira seção, recorremos à teorização antropológica da mobilidade e da cidadania para propor uma estrutura conceitual para o tema. Em seguida, examinamos a pesquisa de três fluxos de migração: jovens de ascendência haitiana que vivem na República Dominicana, colombianos no Equador, e filhos de mães mexicanas que migraram para os Estados Unidos.
As análises desses casos enfatizam a importância do acesso e da inclusão, as escolas como locaischave para governar os sujeitos, e as estratégias desenvolvidas pelos migrantes para assegurar a escolarização. Na conclusão, esboçamos orientações para futuras pesquisas que permitiriam uma análise mais forte das relações entre educação e migração e o desenvolvimento de Migração e Educação como campo de investigação.

Las ciudades como escenarios de la ensoñación = Cities as reveries scenaries
El presente ensayo plantea una serie de consideraciones en torno a las relaciones entre la actividad turística y los imaginarios urbanos, a partir de las cuales es posible formular una lectura del turismo desde una perspectiva sociocultural. Los vínculos existentes entre itinerarios e imaginarios son analizados a la luz de la historia reciente, cuando se densificaron las redes globales de circulación, se mejoraron las tecnologías de transporte y comunicaciones y se popularizó la idea del viaje.
Todos estos fenómenos confluyen en las ciudades contemporáneas, convirtiendo a las metrópolis en escenarios de encuentro entre turistas, habitantes y actores sociales que participan de diversas formas en las dinámicas generadas por el turismo y el aprovechamiento del tiempo libre, dando lugar a una reflexión sobre el papel del sector turístico en los procesos de construcción de ciudadanía.
