Efectos del tratado de libre comercio con los Estados Unidos en el sub sector arrocero Colombiano

El TLC se presenta como una gama de oportunidades para expandir la economía y generar crecimiento de la misma, Colombia debería realizar en materia de agricultura, más específicamente en el sub sector arrocero, un proceso por etapas y programado, evaluando las diferentes amenazas que podrían presentársele en el camino. Ahora bien, teniendo en cuenta que dicho tratado ya fue firmado y puesto en marcha, se debería entonces revisar sus efectos inmediatos en dónde se pueden corregir errores y vacíos ya generados por el mismo. Teniendo en cuenta que el Tratado de Libre Comercio con los Estados Unidos, si bien representa para Colombia una serie de inmensas posibilidades de crecimiento, también supone una serie de amenazas y aspectos que probablemente el país no esté en capacidad de afrontar en esta instancia, especialmente en el sector de la agricultura. En lo relacionado puntualmente con el sector del agro, se debería realizar un análisis más minucioso y no apostar todos los recursos a un mismo ítem, de manera tal que Colombia pueda tener, de ser necesario, la posibilidad de manejar alternativas de salida ante complejidades en el tratado (específicamente en lo relacionado con el agro) y así presentar menos riesgos al respecto. En el documento, se tratarán entonces aquellos criterios relacionados con estos temas, haciendo hincapié en la importancia que ha tenido para el sub sector arrocero el TLC, analizando aspectos favorables y desfavorables, centrándose en aspectos tecnológicos, estudiando lo que se puede corregir en el camino para trabajar y mejorar en este sub sector y de la misma forma para fortalecer los que se encuentran débiles y hacer aún más robustos aquellos que ya tienen beneficios de dicho TLC.​

Tracing the Origin and Spread of Agriculture in Europe

The origins of early farming and its spread to Europe have been the subject of major interest for some time. The main controversy today is over the nature of the Neolithic transition in Europe: the extent to which the spread was, for the most part, indigenous and animated by imitatio (cultural diffusion) or else was driven by an influx of dispersing populations (demic diffusion). We analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of the transition using radiocarbon dates from 735 early Neolithic sites in Europe, the Near East, and Anatolia. We compute great-circle and shortest-path distances from each site to 35 possible agricultural centers of origin—ten are based on early sites in the Middle East and 25 are hypothetical locations set at 58 latitude/longitude intervals. We perform a linear fit of distance versus age (and vice versa) for each center. For certain centers, high correlation coefficients (R . 0.8) are obtained. This implies that a steady rate or speed is a good overall approximation for this historical development. The average rate of the Neolithic spread over Europe is 0.6–1.3 km/y (95% confidence interval). This is consistent with the prediction of demic diffusion(0.6–1.1 km/y). An interpolative map of correlation coefficients, obtained by using shortest-path distances, shows that the origins of agriculture were most likely to have occurred in the northern Levantine/Mesopotamian area

The Importance of Relationships for the Produced Knowledge in the Sector of Management Consulting

While the management consulting industry has been largely linked to the knowledge produced within the disciplines of strategic management in the academic field, the truth is that very little literature is produced in terms of research in this area, while the researchers focused more on a set of static techniques to be applied in the development of this field of research concerns. This article seeks to bridge this gap as well, showing by example that the consultancy sector is a true field of opportunities for the study of relationships management. This presentation is thus the aim of contributing both theoretically and empirically in the area of relationships through research in the context of management consulting, trying to visualize how the relationships are manifested in a context of high involvement and personal contact, and what’s the perception that must be taken into consideration by clients and consultants in terms of the benefits of their greater or lesser degree of involvement.
