La comunicación política en la administración de Gustavo Petro 2012-2014

El objetivo central de esta tesis es analizar cómo ha sido la comunicación política de la administración de Gustavo Petro entre 2012 y 2014, determinando el nivel de democratización presente en esta. Desde sus inicios, la alcaldía de Gustavo Petro mostro una gran preocupación por el ámbito de comunicación, sin embargo, como se puede ver en el plan de desarrollo, le apunta a una comunicación participativa en donde la ciudadanía haga parte de la construcción, diseño e implementación de los programas de gobierno. Por lo tanto se parte de la hipótesis de que la comunicación política durante esta administración ha sido democrática en tanto que ha permitido hacer partícipe a la ciudadanía de su propio desarrollo, a través del dialogo constante. Lo anterior será visto desde una perspectiva teórica sobre la comunicación política democrática, para lo cual las variables direccionalidad y centralidad serán claves.

Hace 100 años el pueblo opto por la democracia

Introducción El 7 de Noviembre de 1889 en la ciudad de San José, puede ser visto y de hecho ha sido considerado hasta el presente por muchos, como un movimiento de subversión contra el gobernante de entonces, el general y licenciado don Bernardo Soto Alfaro, movimiento que termina con su propia renuncia en la misma fecha, como resultado de la presión popular en torno a un candidato a  la Presidencia de la República que gozaba de gran apoyo, como lo fue el licenciado don Ascensión Esquivel

Comparison of sequence variants in the PDK4 and COX4I2 genes between racing and cutting lines of quarter horses and associations with the speed index.

Different selection objectives within the Quarter Horse breed led to the formation of groups with distinct skills, including the racing and cutting lines. With a smaller population size in Brazil, but of great economic representativeness, the racing line is characterized by animals that can reach high speeds over short distances and within a short period of time. The cutting line is destined for functional tests, exploring skills such as agility and obedience. Although the athletic performance of horses is likely to be influenced by a large number of genes, few genetic variants have so far been related to this trait and this was done exclusively in Thoroughbreds, including the g.38973231G>A singlenucleotide polymorphism in the PDK4 gene and the g.22684390C>T single-nucleotide polymorphism in the COX4I2 gene. The results of the present study demonstrate the presence of polymorphic PDK4 and COX4I2 genes in Quarter Horses. The analysis of 296 racing animals and 68 cutting animals revealed significant differences in allele and genotype frequencies between the two lines. The same was not observed when these frequencies were compared between extreme racing performance phenotypes. There were also no significant associations between alleles of the two polymorphisms and the speed index. These results suggest that the alleles of the PDK4 and COX4I2 genes, which are related to better racecourse performance in Thoroughbreds, are probably associated with beneficial adaptations in aerobic metabolism and therefore play secondary roles in sprint racing performance in Quarter Horses, which is mainly anaerobic.

BAKHTINIAN CONCEPTS IN THE WRITTEN TESTABSTRACT

The study discusses the way the bakhtinian concepts are used and developed in the construction, application, production and assessment in the written test during the university entrance examination. The concepts underlying the written production in that situation are: its purpose, the interlocutors involved, the genre to be observed, the social circulation of that genre, its textual support and the author’s position. Analyses of samples of texts written by candidates demonstrate that the use of those concepts in the instructions for the test allows the production of texts with authorship signs. Those signs show up as a result of the dialogic process in the written production.
