Social innovation as a strategy to strengthen community rural tourism [Innovación social como estrategia para fortalecer el turismo rural comunitario en Colombia]
No full textThe purpose of the research is to analyze social innovation as strategies to strengthen Community Rural Tourism, promoting an alternative for sustainable territorial development. From a qualitative approach, based on the documentation, analysis and critical review of the information collected, a conceptual and practical structure is built on social innovation and tourism, and then from fieldwork, specify with different activities and strategic interventions rural community tourism for the township of San Cristobal (Medellín). The results indicate that social innovation and Rural Community Tourism emerge as an alternative to mass tourism, which seeks local development, adapted to the capacities and potential of the territories. Tourism is an alternative so that rural communities with natural and cultural attractions, customs, traditions, ways of life and habits are consolidated, contributing to the socio-economic development of the territories. Exploit the technical and business capacities of the communities and adopt strategies, not only for sustenance but for survival, to take on the challenges of an increasingly. © 2020, Universidad del Zulia.

La ineficacia del procedimiento penal abreviado colombiano en comparación con el proceso inmediato peruano
Full text linkComo una estrategia para la descongestión del sistema judicial colombiano, mediante la Ley 1826 del 2017 se implementó el Procedimiento Penal Abreviado, sin embargo, no se han obtenido resultados eficaces. Por otro lado, en el Perú, mediante el Decreto Legislativo N° 1194 del 2015 se modificó el Proceso Inmediato, un procedimiento especial como el Procedimiento Penal Abreviado, el cual sí tuvo resultados eficaces en la descongestión de su sistema judicial. De tal forma que surge la pregunta de investigación ¿porque el Procedimiento Penal Abreviado no ha cumplido eficazmente con la descongestión del sistema judicial colombiano a diferencia del Proceso Inmediato? Mediante un enfoque cualitativo empleando los métodos de recolección, observación, análisis de los datos y comparación, este trabajo se desarrolla con el objetivo general de identificar las razones del porqué el Procedimiento Penal Abreviado no ha cumplido eficazmente con la descongestión del sistema judicial colombiano a diferencia del Proceso Inmediato. Para esto, cumpliremos los objetivos específicos de: caracterizar los referidos mecanismos procesales, identificar los aspectos negativos del Procedimiento Penal Abreviado e identificar como debería estar regulado como un mecanismo eficaz para la descongestión del sistema judicial, teniendo como referente el Proceso Inmediato y los aspectos negativos identificados en el Procedimiento Penal Abreviado.Magíster en Derecho Procesal ContemporáneoMaestrí
Expectativas sociales, económicas y de seguridad de dos excombatientes de las FARC-EP ante la interrupción del ETCR de Vidrí - Río Arquía
Full text linkEl proceso de paz colombiano entre el Estado y las FARC-EP promete acabar con un conflicto social y armado de más de medio siglo entre estos dos actores. Hasta la presente fecha dicho proceso ha logrado el desarme y la desmovilización de casi la totalidad de los combatientes, a la vez que les ha dado un lugar en la política partidista colombiana y también propiciado distintos espacios para rehacer sus vidas al margen del enfrentamiento armado e ilegal. Sin embargo, el presente proceso, pese a su firma y puesta en marcha, enfrenta grandes problemáticas las cuales han comprometido el bienestar del tejido social, en especial el de los excombatientes, quienes enfrentan amenazas y asesinatos selectivos por parte de grupos al margen de la ley, e incluso actores públicos y privados. Con el fin de darle un lugar a las experiencias de estos individuos, la presente investigación, haciendo uso de un diseño fenomenológico, busca describir las expectativas de dos excombatientes ante la interrupción del Espacio Territorial de Capacitación y Reincorporación (ETCR) de Vidrí - Río Arquía en junio de 2018. Para lograrlo se hizo uso de una metodología cualitativa, desde la cual se recolectó información a través de entrevistas semiestructurada, las cuales fueron transcritas, codificadas y agrupadas por categorías. Los resultados develan que las expectativas de los participantes, orientadas hacia lo económico, lo social y la seguridad se han visto afectadas a razón de la complejidad del conflicto social y armado, a lo que se ha sumado el incumplimiento de las partes en algunos de los puntos del acuerdo.The Colombian peace process between the State and the FARC-EP promises to end a social and armed conflict of more than half a century between these two actors. To date, said process has achieved the disarmament and demobilization of almost all of the combatants, at the same time that it has given them a place in Colombian party politics and also fostered different spaces to rebuild their lives outside of the armed conflict and illegal. However, the present process, despite its signing and implementation, faces major problems which have compromised the well-being of the social fabric, especially that of ex-combatants, who face threats and selective assassinations by illegal groups, and even public and private actors. In order to give a place to the experiences of these individuals, the present research, using a phenomenological design, seeks to describe the expectations of two ex-combatants in the face of the interruption of the Territorial Training and Reincorporation Space (ETCR of Vidrí - Río Arquía in June 2018. To achieve this, a qualitative methodology was used, from which information was collected through semi-structured interviews, which were transcribed, coded and grouped by categories. The results reveal that the expectations of the participants, oriented towards the economic, social and security aspects have been affected due to the complexity of the social and armed conflict, to which the non-compliance of the parties in some of the points of agreement.Magíster en Conflicto y PazMaestrí
Comportamiento de los índices de violencia intrafamiliar durante los meses de marzo a julio del 2020 en Medellín Período Covid19
Full text linkLa violencia intrafamiliar, es un flagelo ancestral, no obstante, en la actualidad, tanto la legislación internacional1, como nacional2 sanciona y condena esta conducta. Existen mecanismos legales e intersectoriales, así como agremiaciones, para defender a las víctimas de esta. Este ensayo, se dedicó a indagar por índices de violencia intrafamiliar durante los meses de marzo y julio del 2020 en Medellín período Covid19, y analizar su comportamiento, durante un periodo de cuarentena obligatoria. Se acude al paradigma interpretativo, con método de investigación cualitativa, con enfoque criminalístico, en el que se acudió como instrumentos a algunos datos sobre la violencia intrafamiliar de fuentes oficiales, y se rastreó doctrina y normas del fenómeno citado. Se encontró que en el periodo de análisis (marzo del 2020 y julio de 2020) se incrementaron los casos de violencia intrafamiliar en Medellín: y fue así como esta aumentó en un 63 %, al pasar de 981 casos reportados en el mes de marzo del 2020 a 1600, reportados en el mes de julio del 2020. De donde se concluye que en la época de la cuarentena obligatoria (con sus prórrogas) promulgada por las autoridades nacionales y locales, hubo más intransigencia, menos convivencia pacífica que llevó al aumento de estos hechos.Domestic violence is an ancestral scourge, however, at present, both international and national legislation punish and condemn this conduct. There are legal and intersectoral mechanisms, as well as associations, to defend its victims. This essay was dedicated to investigating rates of intrafamily violence during the months of March and July 2020 in Medellín during the Covid19 period, and analyzing their behavior during a mandatory quarantine period. The interpretive paradigm is used, with a qualitative research method, with a criminalistic approach, in which some data on intrafamily violence from official sources were used as instruments, and doctrine and norms of the aforementioned phenomenon were traced. It was found that in the period of analysis (March 2020 and July 2020) the cases of intra-family violence in Medellín increased: and that is how it increased by 63%, going from 981 cases reported in the month of March of 2020 to 1600, reported in the month of July 2020. From which it is concluded that at the time of mandatory quarantine (with its extensions) promulgated by national and local authorities, there was more intransigence, less peaceful coexistence that led to an increase in these facts.Magíster en Derecho PenalMaestrí
Structural capital model for universities based on JDL data fusion model and information quality [Modelo de capital estructural para universidades basado en el modelo de fusión de datos JDL y la calidad de la información]
No full textIntellectual capital is one of the most critical intangible active assets for universities, and there are multiple models to value it through the human, structural, and relational components. However, this is an open field of research that still demands new solutions to assess it effectively from each of its components. For the assessment of the structural component in higher education institutions, this study proposes a model that combines the assessment of the quality of information and the JDL data fusion model (joint directors of laboratories), which has been used in applications military. The proposed model is original in the methods used and their association, distributed in six levels that execute the pre-processing of the information, valuation of objects, valuation of the situation and the risk, and the refinement of the process. Besides, it evaluates the quality of the information, its traceability, and context to refine the process and obtain a more objective assessment taking into account the imperfection of the information for decision-making in the management of impact and risk. The model not only allows the assessment of structural capital, but also supports decision-making based on the quality of information and its impact. The functionality of the model is described by levels. © 2020, Associacao Iberica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informacao. All rights reserved
Mercury distribution in different environmental matrices in aquatic systems of abandoned gold mines, Western Colombia: Focus on human health
No full textTotal mercury (THg), methylmercury (MeHg) in water, sediments, macrophytes, fish and human health risks were analyzed and assessed from abandoned gold mining ponds (AGMPs)/ mining areas in Western Colombia to know its present environmental condition. Concentrations of THg in water (avg. 13.0 ± 13.73 ng L-1) was above the EPA threshold level (12 ng L-1), suggesting possible chronic effects. Sediment sample revealed that the ponds are methylated (%MeHg: 3.3–11). Macrophyte Eleocharis elegans presented higher THg content in the underground biomass (0.16 ± 0.13 µg g-1 dw) than in the aerial biomass (0.05 ± 0.04 µg g-1 dw) indicating accumulation of THg. MeHg was the most abundant chemical species in fish (MeHg/THg: 83.2–95.0%), signifying higher bioavailability and its risk towards human health. Fish samples (15%) indicate that THg were above WHO limit (0.5 µg g), particularly in Ctenolucius beani, Hoplias malabaricus and lowest in Sternopygus aequilabiatus and Geophagus pellegrini. Bioaccumulation and biomagnification of MeHg were higher in the carnivores representing a source of exposure and potential threat to human health. Fulton's condition factor (K) for bioaccumulation indicate a decrease with increasing trophic level of fishes. Overall results suggest, mercury species found in different AGMPs compartments should be monitored in this region. © 2020 Elsevier B.V
Multi-model Environment Generation and Tailoring Model for Software Process Improvement
No full textSoftware development organizations take great risks when are faced with process improvement projects and the inclusion of best practices. Such risks include the selection of a standard, framework or model for the improvement process. Some organizations decide to integrate best practices from different sources to be non-dependent on a particular model, framework or standard. However, the integration of different models is an additional challenge since the complexity of the implementation increases as best practices come from different natures. Hence, we propose a model to generate and customize a multi-model environment for software process improvement. We intend to reduce the complexity of combining agile and traditional frameworks by generating a frameworks integration catalog, which, from heuristics, graphically represents the possible paths to follow for the process improvement project. We use design-based science for this research because of its focus on problem analysis in real-world environments. In this way, we can consolidate the model to customize and generate a multi-model environment for the implementation of best practices of different nature during an improvement process. We also define a proposal of organizational profiles, which will allow us to validate the model in a business case in future work. © 2020, The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG
Comparison of geometric and experimental models for the assessment of the runout and deposition height of a debris flow in cohesive soils
No full textThe objective of this paper is to validate if one dimensional runout and height deposition prediction models are suitable for large-scale landslides (debris flows in cohesive soils) based on a small-laboratory-scale test, because landslides are unpredictable hazards and involve a great quantity of triggering variables which in most cases determine the mass movement behavior during its trajectory. Due to many of these variables cannot be obtained from theoretical methods, since they are natural to the soil composition, and to the high rheological variation this soil masses suffer during all the deposition process, it is necessary finding adaptable tools and assessment methods that require simple information, such as terrain slope and soil water content. This becomes one of the main reasons for this type researches. A laboratory experiment was designed which ground slope and soil water content were involved. Several laboratory-scale trials were performed, analysed, compared and validated with one-dimensional runout prediction models as Fahrböschung model and modified gradient model, where its suitability is discussed. Regarding models that involve more advanced tools for the analysis of a landslide, like the modified gradient model, it can be affirmed that its results are reliable and clearly reflect the sliding mass behaviour in a real scenario, without mentioning the advantages using a tool like geographic information system in cases where an exhaustive analysis of all the variables that influence a landslide is needed. In conclusion, a geometric model as the modified gradient model can be used for important analysis that require runout and height deposition estimations for the calculation of a structure physical vulnerability subject to the lateral forces of a sliding soil mass. This is an important parameter to cities planning. © 2020 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved

Pollution in the medellín river (2006-2001): A political market [Un marché politique pour réduire la pollution du fleuve medellín (2006-2011)] [La contaminación del río medellín (2006-2011): Un mercado político]
No full textThis study describes a framework for analyzing the formation of political and economic costs in setting pollution taxes aimed to control the contamination of water bodies, in 2006-2011, for the Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá and its regulated community. Through an exploratory analysis and using an inductive approach, this study examines the actual experience of implementing an environmental policy in a specific region. The results of this study suggest that political and economic costs explain not only the supplier's logic and reasoning but also the consumer's level of demands intended to reduce contamination in the Medellín River. © 2010 Universidad de Antioquia.
