    In the Common Law system judges have the power to create subsidiary laws: they make rules in strict sense. This Kind of power responds to a special way in which the Common Law develops and adapts itself to achieve the best rules for a given society. Understanding how the Australian law system works, as an example of a common law structure, and how judges interact with the parliament in the creation of the best rules of law -which makes the process coherent- is paramount for other legal systems that have a mixture of legal institutions from both civil and common law systems, as Colombia. Colombia has an unclear mixture of law systems, which generates an uncertainty of the application of the law producing both by judges and parliament, and serious structural law problems; so, understanding the basis of the common law system it is important to clarify the limits in the competence of each authority and the interaction between the law made by the Parliament and the one that the judges produce.In the Common Law system judges have the power to create subsidiary laws: they make rules in strict sense.

    Data Mining of the Coffee Rust Genome

    Get PDF
    The genomes of nine isolates of _Hemileia vastatrix_, the causal agent of coffee leaf rust were sequenced by Illumina and 454. Quality control, cleaning and _de novo_ assemblies of data were performed. Since isolates were obtained from the field and it is not possible to produce axenic cultures of _H. vastatrix_, MEGAN software was used to evaluate contamination levels and to select contigs with fungal similarities. Mitochondrial contigs were identified and annotated by comparing this assembly against the _Puccinia_ genome. Furthermore, two transcriptomes from isolates of _H. vastatrix_ were assembled to complement the genomic data

    Tratamiento de la parasitosis intestinales frecuentes en Colombia

    En la úitima década se han obtenido importantes avances en el tratamiento de las parasitosis intestinales (1. 2). La droga ideal, efectiva en dosis única contra todos o la mayoría de los parásitos del intestino, de bajo costo y sin toxicidad, todavía no se ha logrado. El enorme número de personas parasitadas, la mayoría de bajos recursos económicos y eluso de tratamientos en masa como medida de salud pública, hacen necesaria la obtención de nuevos medicamentos apropiados para este fin (3). Mencionaremos inicialmente las parasitósis y las drogas recomendadas y nos referiremos posteriormente a las drogas con más detalle

    Diseño del sistema de gestión ambiental basado en la NTC-ISO 14001:2004 para la Empresa FORMECOL

    Get PDF
    Actualmente las empresas se ven enfrentadas en un mercado altamente competitivo, donde no sólo basta con tener una gran capacidad de producción, sino que también es necesario contar con la efectividad de los aspectos humanos, económicos, financieros, ambientales, técnicos y tecnológicos para lograr con eficiencia los objetivos propuestos por la organización. En la Planta de Producción de la Empresa FORMECOL, se elaboran partes metálicas para motocicletas, de todas las marcas, siendo productos de alta calidad gracias a la implementación de un eficiente sistema de planeación, programación y control de la producción y a la oportuna requisición de materia prima que cumple con las especificaciones exigidas por el cliente regional. A pesar de estas condiciones de efectividad, se ve la necesidad de analizar y realizar un estudio que permita diseñar un sistema de gestión ambiental basado en la Norma NTC ISO 14001:2004, de manera que la organización establezca un compromiso ambiental en cada uno de sus procesos de producción, con el fin aumentar sus ventajas competitivas a nivel regional y posteriormente a nivel nacional. En el siguiente trabajo se presentan los resultados obtenidos en el diseño del sistema de gestión ambiental formulado para la empresa FORMECOL donde se plantean unos objetivos y metas ambientales para el año 2010 - 2011 estipulados dentro del Programa de Gestión Ambiental - PGA

    Sanclimberth y la Dibujografía: una manera de acontecer desde el arte y la literatura

    Get PDF
    Este trabajo de grado surge a partir del método cartográfico, aquí se da paso a que haya una creación artístico-literaria. Este texto recopila y transcribe fragmentos del diario de Sanclimberth, un cartógrafo que, con la idea de trazar lo más cercano posible a la realidad sus mapas, narra y dibuja sus pensamientos y sensaciones frente al territorio y al mundo a cartografiar. Y es en las páginas de este diario, donde Sanclimberth plantea, desarrolla y cuestiona el concepto de Dibujografía, este concepto es tomado y llevado a la Corporación Rural Laboratorio del Espíritu, para que allí, con niños y niñas de la Vereda Pantanillo, el concepto es explorado, vivenciado y cartografiado mediante talleres, actividades y juegos en torno al dibujo y al arte, por parte de los estudiantes y del profesor. Ya al final del texto se expone algunos de las obras realizadas y se deja una reflexión suscitada por este proceso investigativo

    Reputational Risk and Corporate Social Responsibility: How to Make CSR Policies Attractive to Productive Corporations

    Get PDF
    In traditional economic theories, corporation main task is only to generate profits for the investors. However, in modern global economies, some companies have more money and power than many countries, many activist sectors and governments began to look closely at the role of those businesses in order to prevent abuses and environmental harm, and such an audit would create reputational risk that can strongly affect companies’ profits. Although some corporations undervalue Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies, these could be a way to mitigate reputational risks, generate competitive advantages and new forms of competition, increase the value of the stocks and shares, and be the key to sustainable business

    Get PDF
    In Australian common law system, there are discrepancies between the judicial decisions regarding the interpretation of contracts. In this research paper, I intend to clarify legal issues that cause these differences. In addition, I discuss the implications of adopting more specific rules in Australia. To do so, I compare the Australian case to other countries with civil law systems that have established similar norms. Then, I advocate for developing and adopting a law that is in accordance with current international principles

    The role of property rights in commercial agreements

    Get PDF
    The form of a state depends widely in the way that the state treats the property rights. ‘Every definition of property has direct consequences for the question of the distribution of economic wealth and power, the role of governments and the autonomy of citizens’ (Gray & Edgeworth, 2003) and so property is always a paramount issue for a State. Most of the Western countries have adopted democratic political systems and a capitalist economical system of production in where is necessary to give recognition to private property. This paper aims to present how transfers of property take place under Common Law, focusing on personal property issues, and comparing them with other legal systems in South America that have different rules for transfer of property
