Análisis de la crisis de contenedores y el alza de fletes marítimos en el comercio internacional
No full textEl mundo se vio envuelto en un inesperado trance económico, consecuencia de la pandemia de COVID 19. Un fenómeno que afectó directamente el comercio mundial y la economía de los países, el confinamiento realizado en el año 2020 provocó una disrupción sin precedentes, donde se evidenció la paralización de la producción hasta el punto de cierre de fronteras y puertos. La demanda de bienes esenciales y primordiales se elevó, mientras que la capacidad del transporte marítimo se vio severamente limitada, los retrasos en los tiempos de entrega de los bienes se convirtieron en un aspecto negativo en donde se afectaron microempresas, empresas, comerciantes, consumidores y la cadena logística en general, ocasionando escasez de productos en los diferentes puntos de distribución.
Las empresas que contaban con aprovisionamiento o que eran conocidas como grandes empresas, generarían un aumento de costos que se reflejaría de la misma forma en la elevación de precios para los consumidores, pues por lo general el transporte marítimo traslada un gran porcentaje de los bienes que se consumen. Las restricciones y normas que se implementaron a raíz del COVID, ocasionaron que las mercancías se enmarcaran en un riesgoso viaje en donde el tiempo podía generar deterioro dependiendo del tipo de mercancía podría dar como resultado sobrecostos adicionales, aumentando precios y afectando de manera directa la cadena logística. Las restricciones que implementaron algunos países de Europa y América, limitaron el funcionamiento normal de los puertos, embarcaciones y bodegas, dificultando el retorno de contenedores vacíos a Asia (carga, 2022).The world was caught in an unexpected economic trance, consequence of the COVID 19 pandemic. Phenomenon that directly affected world trade and the economy of countries, the confinement realized in the year 2020 caused an unprecedented disruption, where the paralysis of production was evidenced to the point of closing borders and ports. The demand for essential and primordial goods increased, while maritime transportation capacity was severely limited, delays in the delivery times of goods became a negative aspect that affected micro-enterprises, companies, companies, traders, consumers and the logistics chain in general, causing shortages of products at the different distribution points.
Companies that had supplies or were known as large companies, would generate an increase in costs that would be reflected in higher prices for consumers, since maritime transport generally moves a large percentage of the goods consumed. The restrictions and regulations implemented as a result of covid caused goods to be framed in a risky journey where time could generate deterioration, depending on the type of goods, which could result in additional cost overruns, increasing prices and directly affecting the logistics chain. Restrictions implemented by some European and American countries limited the normal operation of ports, vessels and warehouses, making it difficult for empty containers to return to Asia.Profesional en Negocios InternacionalesPregrad
Restrictive labor practices in seaports
No full textContainerization and modern bulk handling methods can substantially increase ship and labor productivity. This paper argues that many ports have failed to change their labor practices and to accept the inevitable reduction in their labor force that technological advances call for. Those ports are doubly penalized by incurring investment costs and continuing to pay labor as if earlier labor-intensive methods still applied. The author analyzes limits on entry to work in the port, an exclusive definition of dock work, job demarcation to prevent interchanging labor, work-sharing requirements within groups that prevent specialization, work-extending practices, restrictive work hours, and restrictions on output. The paper then analyzes how restrictive practices increase shipping costs and how employment would be affected if these practices were abolished. Examples of three approaches to abolishing restrictive practices are given.Transport and Trade Logistics,Common Carriers Industry,Transport Security,Work&Working Conditions,Ports&Waterways

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
