The public and private faces of the friendship between Fidel Castro and Gabriel Garcia Marquez
No full textNobel Prize-winning Colombian author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, is one of the most widely read Latin American authors in the world. His novels One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera are among many people’s favourite books. But, despite loving his books, many of his readers have found it difficult to understand his political views – especially his support and friendship for the recently deceased former president of Cuba, Fidel Castro

A domain adaptation method for text classification based on self-adjusted training approach
No full textInformation grows rapidly everyday, most of this information is kept in digital
text documents, web-pages, posts on social networks, blogs, e-mails [39],
electronic books [17], and scientific publications [28]. Organizing and categorizing
all this text information automatically results helpful for many
tasks. Supervised learning is the most successful approach for automatic
text classification. Supervised learning assumes that the training and test
set come from the same distribution. Sometimes there are not labeled data
available on the target domain, instead we have a labeled data set from
a similar or related domain that we can use as auxiliary domain. Despite
domains are similar, their feature space and the distribution are different,
hence the performance of a supervised classifier demeans. This situation is
called the domain adaptation problem. The domain adaptation algorithms
are designed to narrow the gap between the target domain distribution and
the auxiliary domain distribution. The semi-supervised technique of selftraining
allows to iteratively enrich the training test with data from the test
set. Using self-training for domain adaptation presents some challenges in
the text classification scenario; first, the feature space changes on each iteration
because new vocabulary is transferred from the target domain to the
training set, second, a way to select the more confidently labeled instances
is needed, because adding wrong labeled instances to the training set will
affect the model. Many of the methods addressing this problem need user
defined parameters like the number of instances selected per iteration or the
stop criteria. Tuning these parameters into a real problem is another problem
by itself. On this work we propose a self-adjusting training approach
method, which is able to adapt itself to the new distributions obtained on
a self-training process. This method integrates some strategies to adjust its
own settings each iteration. The proposed method obtains good results on
the thematic cross-domain text classification task, it reduces the error rate
in 65.13% on average from the supervised learning approach on the testing
dataset. It also was tested in the cross-domain sentiment analysis, reducing
the error rate by 15.62% on average from the supervised learning approach
on the testing dataset. The performance obtained in the evaluation of the
proposed method is competitive with other state of the art methods
TANTANGAN PEMERINTAH KOLOMBIA DALAM MENANGANI KRISIS PENGUNGSI DARI VENEZUELA ERA PRESIDEN IVAN DUQUE MARQUEZ
No full textKehadiran pencari suaka dan pengungsi merupakan fenomena sosial dalam hubungan internasional, yang memberikan dampak segnifikan terhadap kebijakan suatu negara. Kolombia telah menampung pengungsi dari Venezuela sejak tahun 2014 dengan memberikan perlindungan dan hak dasar para pengungsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa apa saja tantangan pemerintah Kolombia dalam menangani krisis pengungsi dari Venesuela pada era Presiden Ivan Duque Marquez. Peneliti menggunakan konsep Kebutuhan masa yang dikemukakan Simon Fisher mengenai teori penyebab konflik dan teori Rational-Choice untuk membangun argumentasi dan prespektif. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data dari dokumen resmi, jurnal, skripsi, thesis, buku, dan situs website terpercaya. Dengan menganalisa studi kasus ini maka peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terdapat dua aspek tantangan yang dihadapi pemerintah Kolombia dalam menangani krisis pengungsi dari Venezuela yaitu aspek sosial dan politik. Tantangan social yang dihadapi pemerintah Kololmbia dalam menangani krisis pengungsi dari Venezuela berasal dari aspek eksternal, yang bermula dari ketidak mampuan presiden Venezuela Nicolas Maduro Moros dalam memenuhi kebutuhan kebutuhan fisik, mental dan sosial warga negaranya, mengakibatkan warga Venezuela mengungsi ke Kolombia untuk meminta perlindungan. Sedangkan tantangan politik yang dihadapi pemerintah Kolombia dalam menangani krisis pengungsi Venezuela adalah pemutusan hubungan diplomatic oleh presiden Venezuela Nicolas Maduro Moros secara sepihak. Kebijakan ini di ambil Nicolas Maduro karena melihat banyaknya pembelotan dari rakyat Venezuela dan pemerintah Kolombia dianggap sebagai mediator Amerika Serikat untuk mengkudeta dirinya dari jabatan Persiden. Islam telah membahas mengenai kualifikasi sifat pemimpin, seorang pemimpin harus bersifat adil sebagai penguasa terhadap rakyat dalam bidang apapun. Terlebih seorang pemimpin harus melindungi hak asasi warga negaranya, serta tidak membeda-bedakan antara satu dengan yang lain di dalam pelaksanaan hukum dan peradilan.

To Celebrate Yaşar Kemal and Gabriel Garcia Marquez
No full textThis article commemorates two late authors taking one novel by each as its subject matter. The first author is Yaşar Kemal, whose Ortadirek relates the seasonal migration of peasants towards Çukurova. The second author is Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Colombian Nobel laureate’s A Hundred Years of Solitude narrates the tale of a Latin American village from its inception to its definitive drift in time and space. Kemal criticizes the joint exploitation of peasants’ labour by their feudal village leader and landed gentry through a family’s miserable story. Similarly, Marquez bases his criticism of the colonial abuse of his country on a family’s tragic tale. Both authors resort to fantastic elements to denounce social and economic corruption. Ortadirek’s chronologic map covers the 1950s while the other novel’s reference to time is indeterminate. This makes the Marquez’s book a challenging read. </div
GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ AND THE GREAT COLOMBIA
No full textHalf a century has passed since Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel “One Hundred
years of Solitude” was published and became famous around the world.
The author of the novel, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, remains the titan of
Colombian literature.
He was born in the town Aracataca, department of Magdalena, Colombia.
Garcia Marquez wrote most of his publications about Colombia, despite living
most of his time in Mexico and Europe. He began as a journalist in the 1950s.
He also worked as a foreign correspondent. After many years criticizing the
public affairs and the Colombian government, he was forced into exile. In
these pages I examine his childhood and the influences that his family members
in Aracataca had on him.
As a journalist he had the quality of deep observation of everyday life. In his
writings he mixed myths, dreams and reality. He invented the magic realism
genre according to the critics.
In 2012, Garcia Marquez’ brother revealed that the novelist was sick and diagnosed
with dementia. He died in 2014 of pneumonia in Mexico.
If one is looking for a good understanding of Garcia’s world, then it is not a bad
idea to go to Cartagena and visit the famous isolated colonial town of Mompox
*Mompos* a modern-day Macondo that will lead the reader to the spirit of the
novel and the world of the author.
I examine Santa Marta city, Mompos, and other places that Garcia loved. The
scheme of his work as it appears in “One Hundred years of Solitude” and the
main characters, reflect to some degree the very history of Colombia and the
idiosyncrasies of its people.departmental bulletin pape

No full text<b>Title</b>\ud
\ud
- Disseminating Cochrane evidence to the public health workforce via author-led webinars\ud
\ud
<b>Background</b> \ud
\ud
- <u><a href="http://www.healthevidence.org/">Health Evidence™</a></u> is a free searchable repository, of 4,500+ quality-appraised public health relevant reviews, including nearly 700 Cochrane reviews. Author-led webinars is one knowledge translation strategy to disseminate the findings of Cochrane reviews.\ud
\ud
<b>Objectives</b>\ud
\ud
- (i) Disseminate the findings of Cochrane reviews via webinars\ud
\ud
- (ii) Evaluate the impact of Cochrane author-led webinars \ud
\ud
<b>Methods</b>\ud
\ud
- Webinars are 60-90 minutes in length and include: an overview of the principles of evidence-informed decision making (15mins), a presentation of the findings by the review author (30mins), and a Q&A period (30mins). Webconferencing software monitors participant registration, attendance, engagement, poll responses, and questions. Standard polling questions are asked throughout each session to assess familiarity with and use of systematic reviews, as well as familiarity and agreement with session-specific review findings.\ud
\ud
<b>Results</b>\ud
\ud
- Since January 2015 Health Evidence™ has hosted six Cochrane author-led webinars. Webinar participants include: nurses, health promoters, physicians, dietitians, and knowledge brokers. On average, participants in each session were attentive and engaged 68.8% of the time. Google Analytics reflect an average 572% increase in users accessing the Cochrane review featured in each webinar on the day of the session compared to average daily access the month prior. On average, each session attracted 177 registrants, of which approximately half joined on the session date. Poll response data reveal 59.6% attendees use systematic reviews to inform their practice. Data collected pre/post on participant’s knowledge of the effectiveness of an intervention, suggest that webinars are an effective way to influence participant’s knowledge about intervention effectiveness (participant knowledge improved 10-31.8%, measured via pre/post poll questions). During the Q&A period, attendees submitted 5-12 questions per session.\ud
Conclusion: Webinars are an interactive and effective mechanism for promoting public health relevant Cochrane evidence to decision makers. Data from webinars highlight a high level of interest and engagement with Cochrane author-led sessions
Le planning familial au Mexique. Processus de formation d'une politique publique
No full textViviane Brachet-Marquez: Family planning in Mexico. Methods for the formation of public policy.
What were the conditions which made it possible to establish a policy of family planning in Mexico? The author shows that the adoption of such a policy, far from being the result of public discussion of a social question, is the result of the existing compatibility beween the action of a group of professionals and academies and the personal projects of the president of Mexico. The relatively peaceful character of the application of the family planning programs stems from the fact that it involved merely bringing new elements into the health sector without affecting the established structures. Finally, the author insists on the importance of reinterpreting the impetus from abroad; indeed, one may speak of processes of exchange and negociation, since the groups which influenced the adoption of this policy did not simply convey information.Vivane Brachet-Marquez : Le planning familial au Mexique. Processus de formation d'une politique publique.
Quelles sont les conditions qui ont permis la mise en œuvre de la politique de planning familial au Mexique ? L'auteur montre que l'adoption de cette politique, loin de résulter de la discussion publique d'une question sociale, est le fait de la compatibilité existant entre l'action d'un groupe de professionnels et d'universitaires et les projets personnels du président du Mexique. Le caractère relativement paisible de la mise en application des programmes de planning familial provient du fait qu'il était uniquement question d'apporter des éléments nouveaux au secteur de la santé sans affecter les structures déjà établies. Enfin, l'auteur insiste sur l'importance de la réinterprétation des impulsions provenant de l'étranger, les groupes qui ont influé sur l'adoption de cette politique n'ayant pas joué simplement le rôle de courroie de transmission, de telle façon qu'on peut parler de processus d'échange et de négociation.Brachet-Marquez Vivian.
