    The practical use of temporal multimedia has increased markedly in recent years as enabling technologies for the distribution and streaming of media have become available. As a part of this trend, hypermedia systems and models have adapted accordingly to incorporate such distributed multimedia for presentation. Structured interpretation of information has long been a fundamental feature of both open hypermedia systems and knowledge systems. Metadata, in its many forms, has become the cornerstone for providing this structured knowledge above and beyond basic data and information. This thesis presents the rationale and requirements for continuous metadata, which supports the metadata accompanying distributed multimedia throughout the lifecycle of streamed media, from generation, through distribution, to presentation. Throughout this process it is the temporal and continuous nature of the metadata which is paramount. A conceptual framework for continuous metadata is proposed to encapsulate these principles and ideas. Continuous metadata and the associated framework enable the development, in particular, of real-time, collaborative, semantically enriched distributed multimedia applications. Experience building one such system using continuous metadata is evaluated within the framework. An ontology is developed for the system to enable the collation, distribution, and presentation of structure aiding navigation of multimedia, and it is shown how continuous metadata utilising the ontology can be distributed using multicas

    A set of new types of assessment is required for learning management systems (LMSs), and there is a need for a way to assess lifelong adaptive competencies. Proposed solutions to these problems need to preserve the interoperability, reusability, efficiency and abstract modeling already present in LMSs. This paper introduces a set of software tools for an author assessment package on the LMS Moodle being developed as part of adaptive e-learning engine architecture (AEEA). The principal features of this set are: 1) The set avoid editing items for a 360-degree feedback evaluation, 2) Whole items and tests are linked to levels of competencies acquisition, 3) The competency-based eassessment data model are based on e-learning specification and complemented with XML data on the appraised competencies, 4) Items and tests are storage in repositories, and 5) The tools are integrated within Moodle to facilitate the design of an assessment plan.Florián G, Beatriz E-84371c44-6a8c-4bd9-b54b-50fc5d883944-600Baldiris, Silvia Margarita-d9551129-6f42-41aa-867f-ee5f4634b3f3-600Fabregat, Ramón-6248a392-bfb2-4771-90ec-4bf955386683-600De La Hoz Manotas, Alexis Kevin-8c2e7635-6db0-49a2-bb3b-b7131e3bad0f-60

    La investigación busca identificar a través de la estructura propuesta dentro del modelo lovemarks, las cualidades afines en el desarrollo de la gestión pública tomando en cuenta la percepción de los usuarios con respecto al desarrollo de la imagen y comunicación de las Entidades públicas de manera particular las adscritas al Ministerio de trabajo de Colombia; para tal efecto se tomó como marco de referencia a Kevin Roberts y su modelo. Con el fin de homologar los conceptos usados por el autor dentro de una dinámica menos comercial y más institucional; se adaptaron las definiciones de tal manera que fueran amigables con los usuarios al momento de ser aplicado el instrumento propuesto, el cual fue construido después de realizar una revisión de la literatura expuesta en relación al modelo planteado por Kevin Roberts. Se formuló una investigación mixta aplicada a través de una encuesta de percepción a 393 personas de la ciudad de Bogotá D.C con el fin de evaluar el desarrollo del modelo en las Entidades Públicas adscritas al Ministerio de trabajo de Colombia , de los aspectos sobresalientes hallados se confirman de manera parcial la aplicación del modelo lovemarks en el desarrollo de las gestión pública, con la valoración positiva del la historia y el respeto por parte de sus usuarios por otro lado las cualidades atracción y contacto están latentes pero no tienen mayor inferencia en la percepción de sus usuarios.The research seeks to identify, through the structure proposed within the lovemarks model, the related qualities in the development of public management, taking into account the perception of users regarding the development of the image and communication of public entities, in particular the attached to the Ministry of Labor of Colombia; For this purpose, Kevin Roberts and his model were taken as a frame of reference. In order to standardize the concepts used by the author within a less commercial and more institutional dynamic; The definitions were adapted in such a way that they were user-friendly when the proposed instrument was applied, which was constructed after conducting a review of the exposed literature in relation to the model proposed by Kevin Roberts. A mixed research applied through a perception survey to 393 people from the city of Bogotá DC was formulated in order to evaluate the development of the model in the Public Entities attached to the Ministry of Labor of Colombia, the outstanding aspects found are confirmed In a partial way, the application of the lovemarks model in the development of public management, with the positive assessment of the history and the respect of its users, on the other hand, the attraction and contact qualities are latent but do not have greater inference in the perception of its users

    [EN] Performance measurement in residential housing, at a company or project level, is usually assessed using financial performance indicators. There are other performance indicators that can be also applied to the construction industry. The literature review identified papers and reports that propose a set of indicators that can be applied to different areas. However, there is no evidence of a system that comprises the key performance indicators at the design-bid-build-delivery stages of the life-cycle of developer and homebuilder companies. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to create a model of performance indicators (at the strategic, tactical and operative levels), based on the production chain of a developer and homebuilder company. Once the theoretical proposal is set, a Delphi study is developed so a panel of 11 experts assesses and summarize the indicators that allow measuring the performance of Mexican developer and homebuilder companies.[ES] La medición del desempeño en la edificación residencial, tanto a nivel empresarial como de proyecto, se ha evaluado normalmente mediante indicadores de desempeño de tipo financiero. Existen otros indicadores de desempeño que también son aplicables al sector de la construcción. En la revisión de la literatura se identificaron diversos artículos e informes que proponen una serie de indicadores aplicables a diferentes áreas. Sin embargo, no hay evidencia de un sistema específico que integre los indicadores clave de desempeño en las etapas de diseño-contrataciónconstrucción-entrega del ciclo de vida de las empresas promotoras-constructoras de vivienda. Por lo tanto, el objetivo principal de esta investigación es cubrir esta laguna del conocimiento, generando un modelo de indicadores de desempeño (a nivel estratégico, táctico y operativo), basado en la cadena productiva de una empresa promotora-constructora de viviendas. Una vez realizada la propuesta de modelo teórico, se lleva a cabo un estudio Delphi con la finalidad de que un panel de 11 expertos valore y sintetice los indicadores que permitan medir el desempeño de las empresas promotoras constructoras de vivienda, en el contexto de la industria de la construcción mexicana.The authors thank CONACYT and the Institute for Innovation and Technology Transfer “I2T2” of the state of Nuevo Leon (Mexico) for the support provided to the first author of this article which enabled him to start his Ph.D. studies at the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain).Luna-Villarreal, K.; Pellicer, E.; García-Rodríguez, S.

    Local government chief executives’ everyday hauntings : towards a theory of organizational ghosts

    No full text
    This paper develops a theory of organizational ghosts, a concept that describes the haunted and burdensome aspects of organizational life and in particular of leadership action. The concept of organizational ghosts is not offered as yet another metaphor, a lens through which to analyse particular organizations. Rather, I offer my discussion of ghosts as a theoretical concept that explains how inheritances of the past haunt the relations and struggles of the present. I tell a ghostly tale of the everyday leadership and learning practices of UK local government chief executives, and provide an exploration of organizational ghosts as a contribution to the growing interest in the action in the shadows, atmospheres, margins and boundaries of organizations. Drawing upon an ethnographic study of UK local councils, and embracing the multiplicity and heterogeneity of organizational ghosts, the paper considers the theoretical, political and ethical stakes involved in taking ghosts seriously. Its contribution is to show how ghosts are insinuated in organizations and to highlight leaders as figures who are both willing agents and uneasy hosts of hauntings, and to point to the mediating role of leaders in handling confrontations between the past, the present and the future.Peer reviewe

    In this paper the author has briefly worked the fundamental characteristic of the money laundering offense in the Colombian’s law. The starting point is its affirmation as a legal criminal duty that would guarantee economic freedoms and from there, the arguments for its consideration of subsequent connection offense, a multi-offensive offense. In the end, the analysis performed leads to the presentation of proposal for the normative delimitation of the money laundering offense.En el presente trabajo el autor ha desarrollado brevemente los rasgos fundamentales del delito de lavado de activos vigente en la legislación colombiana. El punto de partida lo constituye su afirmación como deber jurídico-penal que garantiza las libertades económicas y, desde allí, se exponen los argumentos para su consideración de delito de conexión-subsiguiente, delito pluriofensivo. Al final, el análisis realizado lleva a presentar una propuesta de delimitación normativa del delito de lavado de activos
