Authors: Albán Moreno Álvaro , Rendón Vélez Jorge Alberto
Published: May 2018

This article presents the state of art in university research about local economic development in Colombia.The methodological design was based on a hermeneuticand critical process divided in three phases:descriptive, interpretative and, evaluative. Therefore,it was necessary to design several instruments to get the information from researching products of investigation groups recognized by Colciencias. The results help to categorize researching problems, theoretical tendencies about development, methodological approaches,results and conclusions, and reconstruct them to propose some recommendations. Comprehensivetheoretical approaches about development both in general sense and in local sense and the advancement of qualitative approaches in research designs are implicitly or explicitly emphasized. Multidimensionality, transdisciplinar approach, holism, integrality and the sense of structure of economic local development are new concepts that have gained relevance in the recent research of this subject.

¿Cuánto vale una reserva forestal?: el caso de El Robledal
Authors: Ruiz Linares Jorge , Díaz Lozano Mauricio , Rachez Tovar Françoise
Published: May 2018

Se presentan los resultados de valoración económica directa e indirecta de la Reserva Forestal Protectora El Robledal obtenidos a 2005. Esta reserva es un bosque andino seco y se encuentra ubicada en los municipios de Guachetá y Ráquira, departamentos de Cundinamarca y Boyacá, en la jurisdicción de la Corporación Autónoma Regional de Cundinamarca (CAR), con una elevación entre los 2.700 y los 3.200 MSNM y con una un área de 400,2 ha. Con base en una imagen satelital LANDSAT TM de 1994, se estima la cobertura boscosa de la reserva en tan solo 173 ha y se caracteriza el bosque en cuanto a estructura y composición a través del levantamiento aleatorio de 12 cuadrantes de 2 por 50 m. La especie leñosa dominante es el roble (Quercus humboldtii Bonpl.) Finalmente, se procedió a hallar los valores económicos de uso directo de subsistencia y productivo y de uso indirecto de los servicios ambientales establecidos para la investigación: valor económico de la madera en pie, recolecta de madera y producción de carbón vegetal por la población aledaña a la reserva y finalmente del bosque como sumidero de carbono. Para tal fin se utilizaron metodologías de valoración económica tales como precios de mercado, valoración contingente, costes evitados o inducidos, basadas en costos y transferencia de beneficios. Se concluye que el valor más alto esta asociado con la madera en pie y el valor de subsistencia, producto de la tala de bosques para la producción ilegal de carbón vegetal, es insignificante y motivo de preocupación. Una recomendación de política es trasladar el ingreso derivado de los habitantes de la zona por el valor de subsistencia a la protección de la reserva. Por tratarse de una reserva forestal muy antigua y a la luz del desarrollo sostenible y el tiempo ecológico, este recurso debería tratarse como no renovable.
Las oportunidades que ofrece el TLC: ¿contribuyen a la convergencia en el desarrollo y crecimiento de las regiones colombianas?
Authors: Nieto Alemán Paula Andrea , Ángel Barreto Diana Carolina
Published: May 2018

La posibilidad de que un Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC) contribuya a la generación de desarrollo y a su vez crecimiento se magnifican con las teorías del libre comercio. Pero éstas se deben llevar a cabo con unas políticas que se ajusten a las condiciones de las regiones. El artículo parte del concepto de la convergencia y/o divergencia regional, que es de donde se desprende el desarrollo y análisis del mismo. Se hace la diferenciación entre crecimiento y desarrollo. Allí, se da muestra de los aportes de las diferentes escuelas del pensamiento económico y los trabajos realizados frente al tema. Para efectos de este trabajo se realizó un panel data para determinar la convergencia y/o divergencia de las regiones colombianas (1980 -2002). Por último se encuentra evidencia de convergencia regional para 1980-2002. Pero al hacer un análisis más detallado de las condiciones que presentan cada una de las regiones respecto a su vocación productiva y oferta exportadora se difieren los resultados, por lo que no se puede determinar que existe convergencia absoluta para las regiones colombianas.

La responsabilidad social de las empresas bogotanas y su relación con el empleo y la pobreza
Authors: López Velázquez Adriana Patricia , Quiroga Angie , López Zuleta Claudia , Torres Rodríguez Marisol
Published: May 2018

Este artículo presenta los principales resultados, conclusiones y recomendaciones obtenidas de dos investigaciones realizadas sobre Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) y su relación con pobreza y empleo, tomando como estudio de caso la ciudad de Bogotá. Los resultados de estas investigaciones fueron obtenidos a partir de un exhaustivo trabajo de campo y de revisión documental sobre RSE, tanto nacional como internacional. De los resultados obtenidos se destacan el que la mayoría de las empresas bogotanas no tienen conocimiento ni interés por el tema de la RSE, para ellas la RSE implica altos costos con poco retorno económico. Del total de empresas sólo el 1,3% han participado en programas de reducción de la pobreza implementados por la administración distrital, donde el punto en común de las inversiones públicas y privadas han sido los programas de educación, nutrición y vivienda. Con respecto a las empresas que incluyen programas de RSE dirigidos hacia sus empleados, estas consideran que ha sido algo positivo ya que el entorno de trabajo mejoró y la productividad de sus empleados aumentó, contribuyendo esto al bienestar de ambas partes.

Una visión poskeynesiana del gasto público
Authors: Radziunas Pulido Juan Pablo
Published: May 2018

In general terms, contemporary economic theory shows three thinking lines to study phenomena and performance of macroeconomics variables. Attempts to explain and predict have been polarized around three different «models», antagonist schools and alternative trends, most of them, framed in the neoclassic school, post Keyriesian school, and neoclassical syn thesis, with their traditional monetary and tax trends. This paper tries to find the post Keynesian school's position regarding fiscal variables, having in mind the essence of the model and implicati on s in relation to the rest of macroeconomic variables and their possible benefits when applying a view different from the orthodox one.

Emotional Intelligence (EI) has been regarded as a leading attribute of management. Research
has shown that managers have been afforded the opportunity to experience and demonstrate how
EI assists them in developing their managerial skills. Moreover such research has shown that EI
helps managers to develop their self-awareness and their job performance. In contrast, few, if
any, studies have acknowledged how non-management employees perceive EI and its
significance in the workforce. Numerous employees may not be aware of what EI is, and
whether EI in the workplace offers any tangible advantages or disadvantages for them as it does
for managers. Consequently, little is known about the lived experiences of non-management

Authors: Zhu Xiaoyu , Fan Yuxiang , Gao Junguang
Published: May 2018

As the pace of urbanization is accelerating, increasing amount of floodplain has been projected as the future cities. Subsequently, urban flooding is being studied by global emergency management exports due to its increasingly significant impact on us. Some existing research on flooding emergency management based on the case-based reasoning (CBR) method have made tremendous progress, but the urban flooding case with its stratified data characteristics is required a new methodology which is different from the ones applied to flash floods. So, based on the case-based reasoning (CBR) method, this paper proposed a CPIE-CBR model with four layers, classification filtration, punctiform similarity, interval similarity and entropy weight method, to calculate the case similarity among the urban flooding case with stratified data characteristics. Then we carry out the numerical simulation with the real data about China and conduct some comparison with original ways so that we observe the validity and efficiency of our model in the end.

Motivated by the double autoregressive model with order p (DAR(p) model), in this paper, we study the moving average model with an alternative GARCH error. The model is an extension from DAR(p) model by letting the order p goes to infinity. The quasi maximum likelihood estimator of the parameters in the model is shown to be asymptotically normal, without any strong moment conditions. Simulation results confirm that our estimators perform well. We also apply our model to study a real data set and it has better fitting performance compared to DAR model for the considered data.

L’apprentissage de compréhension de lecture (CL) est déterminant pour la persévérance et la réussite scolaires. Les enseignants se sentent peu outillés pour soutenir cet apprentissage et plus précisément le développement des habiletés inférentielles (St-Pierre et al., 2015). Cette recherche-action visait à accompagner des enseignantes du primaire dans leurs pratiques en CL afin de soutenir le développement des habiletés inférentielles chez leurs élèves en plus de viser à documenter la mise en place d’une communauté de pratique en ligne. À partir d’une analyse de contenu, nous avons ciblé l’évolution des cycles de développements professionnels des participantes et dégagé les thèmes sur lesquels portaient leurs apprentissages. Les résultats démontrent que les principaux apprentissages portent essentiellement sur les pratiques mises en place dans leur classe.Reading comprehension is critical to students' persistence and academic achievement. Teachers feel ill prepared to support this learning and more specifically the development of inferential skills (St-Pierre et al., 2015). This article presents the results of an action research study aiming at accompanying primary school teachers in their practices in order to support the development of the inferential skills of their students and at documenting the implementation of an online community of practice.

Learning with Multiple Representations: Infographics as Cognitive Tools for Authentic Learning in Science Literacy | Apprendre avec des représentations multiples: l'infographie de presse comme outil cognitif pour l'apprentissage authentique en science
Authors: Gebre Engida
Published: May 2018

This paper presents a descriptive case study where infographics—visual representation of data and ideas—have been used as cognitive tools to facilitate learning with multiple representations in the context of secondary school students’ science news reporting. Despite the complementary nature of the two research foci, studies on cognitive tools and multiple representations have evolved independently. This is because research on cognitive tools has narrowly focused on technological artifacts and their impact on learning outcomes with less attention to learner agency and activity structures. This has created challenges of sustainably applying cognitive tools in classroom teaching and learning. Using data from a design-based research project where secondary school students created authentic infographic-based science news reports, this study demonstrates how infographics can serve as process-oriented cognitive tools for learning and instruction of science literacy in classroom contexts. Results have implications for the study and design of learning environments involving representations.Cet article présente une étude de cas où l'infographie de presse – offrant une représentation visuelle de données et d’idées – est utilisée comme outil cognitif pour faciliter l'apprentissage au moyen de représentations multiples dans le contexte de production de rapports scientifiques par des élèves du secondaire. Malgré la complémentarité des deux axes de recherche, les travaux sur les outils cognitifs et sur les représentations multiples ont évolué séparément. En effet, la recherche sur les outils cognitifs s'est strictement concentrée sur les artefacts technologiques et leur impact sur les résultats d'apprentissage mais a accordé moins d'attention à l’action  des apprenants et aux structures des activités. Il en résulte des défis pour l’application durable d’outils cognitifs dans l'enseignement et l'apprentissage en classe. À partir de données issues d'un projet de recherche orientée par la conception (design-based research)  dans lequel les élèves du secondaire ont produit des rapports scientifiques authentiques intégrant des infographies de presse, cette étude montre comment l’infographie de presse peut servir
Les amis et le soutien comptent: Les compétences et besoins en littératies numériques d’élèves du secondaire en Ontario français | Friends and Support Matter: The Digital Literacies Skills and Needs of High School Students in Francophone Ontario

Cette recherche s’intéresse aux compétences en littératies numériques d’élèves de la 9e à la 11e année du sud, de l’est et du nord de l’Ontario (n=215). Le nombre d’heures que les élèves passent en ligne pour leurs travaux scolaires, le nombre de personnes qui offrent du soutien aux élèves et le nombre de personnes que les élèves aident à développer leurs compétences numériques ressortent de l’analyse comme des facteurs importants et pistes possibles pour des changements pédagogiques sur le terrain. Cette étude sert de point de départ pour de recherches futures en littératies numériques qui tiennent compte du contexte linguistique minoritaire et des voix des élèves concernés. This research focuses on the digital literacies skills and needs of students in Grades 9 to 11 in Southern, Eastern, and Northern Ontario. A quantitative analysis of data collected through online questionnaires (n=215) identifies the time students spend online on their homework, as well as both the digital support that they receive and offer as significant factors in the development of their digital literacies skills. Teachers are thereby called upon to create opportunities for collaborative learning and to renew their pedagogies to enable students to develop and demonstrate their digital literacies skills, in their languages, both within and outside of school.

Para este estudo realizou-se uma pesquisa de caráter descritivo e de natureza qualitativa, cujo objetivo é analisar a perspectiva de coordenadoras e integrantes de empreendimentos coletivos inseridos em uma incubadora social brasileira. Especificamente, serão contempladas as contribuições do empreendedorismo social, uma vez que houve aumento da participação feminina no mercado de trabalho. O contexto de análise foi definido por meio de categorias definidas a priori, baseadas em um modelo teórico que contempla as dimensões: capital humano, vontade e viabilidade, capital social, atores do ambiente social e institucional. As categorias definidas a posteriori contemplaram as categorias: empoderamento, valorização e realização pessoal. No que tange a inclusão feminina no mercado de trabalho, os resultados refletiram algumas dificuldades enfrentadas por mulheres participantes dos empreendimentos, destacando a falta de oportunidades de qualificação e participação no mercado formal. Para muitas entrevistadas, participar desses empreendimentos representou a primeira oportunidade de inclusão no mundo do trabalho.

A taxa de empreendedorismo no Brasil apresenta-se crescente, o que gera necessidade de medir essa habilidade de forma objetiva e padronizada. Um dos instrumentos que apresenta crescente utilização em pesquisas brasileiras é a Tendência Empreendedora Geral (TEG), proposta por Caird, na década de 1990. No entanto, tendo em vista que essa escala é composta por 54 itens, sua extensão inibe sua utilização em diversos contextos. Posto isso, o objetivo deste trabalho foi o de desenvolver uma versão reduzida dessa escala preservando suas características essenciais. Metodologicamente, duas etapas foram empregadas: inicialmente, especialistas em empreendedorismo (juízes) avaliaram o conteúdo e a facilidade de entendimento dos itens e, em seguida, as respostas foram modeladas por um modelo de 2 Parâmetros Logísticos (2PL) da Teoria de Resposta ao Item (TRI), utilizando os dados de 147 participantes. A versão final consistiu em uma escala suficientemente unidimensional, que mede o empreendedorismo por 19 itens dicotômicos e que foi chamada de TEG-FIT. O presente estudo oferece um novo instrumento para medida do empreendedorismo.

O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o conhecimento sobre Sustentabilidade dos alunos do curso de Administração de Empresas de uma universidade privada paulista e a influência deste em suas atitudes, comportamentos e consumos sustentáveis. Com base nas respostas de 131 alunos da pesquisa quantitativa (survey) desenvolvida, constatou-se, por meio da Modelagem de Equações Estruturais (MEE), que há influência do conhecimento sobre Sustentabilidade nas atitudes, no comportamento e no consumo dos alunos. Contudo, não se confirmou a influência da atitude no consumo. No cursopesquisado, o tema Sustentabilidade tem sido abordado, porém não em uma disciplina específica, mas de maneira fragmentada em diversas disciplinas, de forma transversal. Esta pesquisa contribui tanto para o meio acadêmico quanto para a sociedade, no sentido de propor à universidade pesquisada, bem como a outras públicas ou privadas, que alterem no Projeto Pedagógico de Curso (PPC), as linhas pesquisas voltadas à Sustentabilidade, e insiram atividades de extensão que visem à transformação das atitudes em comportamentos e práticas sustentáveis dos alunos, agindo como cidadãos.

Volunteer is a term which refers to the provision of services by choice or free will of a person, organization or group of individuals with no financial gain in full awareness and appreciation (1). It is an international phenomenon in which the individuals provide their time and services free of cost to an organization for the benefit of others (2). It is vital for the sustainability and smooth functioning of the nonprofit and community organizations that the participation on volunteer basis should be regular and ongoing (3). This is worth mentioning that in United States during the  year of 2000, 15.5 billion hours were contributed by 83.9 million volunteers which is equal to an amount of USD 39.2 billion wages for the employees (4). During the year of 2006, there were 5.2 million volunteers in Australia contributing around 623 million hours to the non-profit segment. This contribution value is equal to a wage of 15 billion AUD$ (5).

Background: Establishment of individuality is the basic concept of the humanity, which formulates personal identity. Forensic medicine is basically the science of identification and during last few decades multiple research work has been conducted for detection of different methods of identification to establish a baseline of identity e.g. dental data, fingerprinting, DNA analysis, anthropometry, identification of sex, assessment of age, determination of height and blood groups identification. Among these, DNA analysis and dental data provide easiest identifications, however, these techniques are expensive and not readily availablenecessitating additional techniques for identification. One of such novel approach is cheiloscopy i.e. study of lip print patterns. Methodology: In order to investigate the lip prints-based identification, a study was conducted in the Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan Medical College, Lahore. A total of 125 female and 125 male student subjects were selected from all years of MBBS students Session 2016. Results: After detailed study and evaluation of lip patterns of 250 subjects, 96 males and 105 females were correctly identified based upon lip prints. Conclusion: Lip prints can and should be included in the forensic sciences as a means of establishment of individuality especially for criminals.
