Diseño de un modelo de gestión de riesgos en la comercialización internacional de mercancías en las pymes : caso de estudio pymes en Cartagena /

Teniendo en cuenta los riesgos e incertidumbre que se generan en la comercialización internacional de mercancías en las PYMES (pequeñas y medianas empresas), es necesario tener un conocimiento pleno de éstos, de tal forma que sea posible enfrentarlos, solucionarlos y, lo más importante, encontrar la mejor decisión posible en un abanico de posibilidades. Asimismo, crear unos lineamientos claros y seguros a las PYMES de la región que permitan una negociación en un ambiente de mayor previsión, para poder concretar negocios con una clara mitigación de riesgos aceptable, que redunde en crecimiento y sostenibilidad, y que su vez sean estas PYMES el motor que jalone el desarrollo del país, lo cual constituye la base fundamental de este proyecto. En este sentido el objetivo general de este proyecto, fue el diseño de un modelo de gestión que permita la identificación, evaluación, control y mitigación de los riesgos asociados a los procesos de comercialización internacional de mercancías por parte de las PYMES en la ciudad de Cartagena. Este modelo de gestión de riesgos en la comercialización internacional de mercancías beneficiará a las PYMES en aspectos tales como: reducción de costos, agilidad en los procesos, disminución en los tiempos tanto administrativos como logísticos, desarrollo de productos altamente competitivos y de calidad que le permitirán un crecimiento sostenible en el tiempo, además de un posicionamiento en el mercado destino. Para alcanzar lo anterior, primeramente se estructuró un inventario de los riesgos en las actividades identificadas en el proceso de comercio exterior de las PYMES en Cartagena, seguidamente, se elaboró un mapa de riesgos de estas PYMES con el propósito de identificar los mismos en las actividades de comercialización internacional de mercancías, y por último, se diseñó el modelo de gestión de riesgos para la evaluación de las alternativas de acción y de desarrollo en las actividades de comercialización internacional de las PYMES exportadoras en Cartagena. Dada las características de los riesgos, el modelo plantea la posible mejor solución, con el fin de que el empresario pueda comercializar en un entorno de mayor certeza y seguridad.Incluye referencias bibliográficas (páginas 105-109

The influence of digital capabilities on customer orientation of service employees (COSE) and its consequences on customer satisfaction and e-WOM within Family Businesses

Customer relations have become a key matter in services businesses daily activities. Due to the intangibility of services, the employee service performance is what customers perceive as the reflection of the service quality. Due to this fact, the customer orientation of front-line employees, primarily in services industry, plays a crucial role in getting positives/negatives results with regards to customer satisfaction. Customer orientation of service employees (COSE) is a key concept within marketing literature. It has been demonstrated by previous authors the positives effects that has in customer satisfaction and customer retention (Hennig-Thurau. 2004: Morales and Ruiz-Alba, 2018)

International Management of Customer Orientation

This study investigates the role of customer orientation of service employees (COSE) and its influence on customer satisfaction and on electronic word of mouth (e-WOM), with a focus on international management. An empirical study was conducted amongst hotel customers with a final valid sample of 265 respondents. Digital capabilities have been included in the COSE model for the first time. Findings indicate that digital capabilities have a positive influence on customer satisfaction that is mediated by COSE. This study has also compared differences between international and national firms and also considered family businesses and non-family businesses. Results show that international hotels have a higher level of COSE than national hotels, mainly due to the technical skills of the employees, and the presence of a higher level of COSE in family businesses (FBs) rather than in non-family businesses (NFBs). Some contributions to academia and to international management have been discussed

eHealth tools for assessing psychomotor activity in schizophrenia: A systematic review

Objective: Psychomotor abnormalities are relevant symptoms in the clinical presentation of schizophrenia, and assessing them could facilitate monitoring. New technologies can measure psychomotor activity objectively and continuously, but evidence on the topic is scarce. Our aim is to systematically review the existing evidence about eHealth tools for assessing psychomotor activity in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Method: We performed a systematic search of the PubMed and Embase databases and identified 15 relevant articles on eHealth tools for assessing psychomotor activity in schizophrenia. Results: eHealth devices accurately assessed psychomotor activity and were well accepted. Abnormalities in psychomotor activity helped differentiate between different subtypes of schizophrenia. Abnormal increases in psychomotor activity were correlated with acute presentations, while lower activity was associated with relapses, deterioration, and negative symptoms. Conclusion: Actigraphy is still the preferred eHealth device in research settings, but mobile applications have great potential. Further studies are needed to explore the possibilities of psychomotor monitoring and mobile health applications for preventing relapses in schizophrenia. eHealth could be useful for monitoring psychomotor activity, which might help prevent relapses.This study received grant support from the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Grant/Award Number: ISCIII CM19/ 00026)

Effect of preparation conditions on the polymorphism and transport properties of lanthanum molybdates

In this work, La6MoO12-based compounds were investigated as part of a new family of materials very competitive as hydrogen separation membranes [1,2]. La5.4MoO11.1 was synthesized by the freeze-drying precursor method and the calcination conditions were optimized in order to obtain single phases. Several cooling rates were applied and different polymorphs were obtained: a simple cubic fluorite symmetry (Fm-3m) for the sample cooled by quenching, and two different rhombohedral (R-3) space groups for the samples cooled at 50 ºC•min-1 and 0.5 ºC•min-1 (see Figure below). For the quenched sample, the Rietveld refinement was satisfactory in a Fm-3m space group. For the other two compositions no structural model was available and were indexed in a R-3 space group, however some small reflections were not given any intensity by the model used. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the presence of superstructures for those samples. All ceramic materials were obtained with relative densities close to 100% after sintering at 1500 ºC. Stability studies demonstrated that all three polymorphs were stable in oxidizing and reducing conditions at 800 ºC for 48 hours. The three samples present a significant proton contribution to the conductivity at temperatures lower than 800 ºC. These results were confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis. The highest conductivity values were observed for the samples prepared by quenching. The three polymorphs display a small p-type electronic contribution to the overall conductivity in oxidizing conditions and n-type electronic one in very reducing conditions, much more significant for the samples cooled by quenching and at 50 ºC•min-1.Universidad de Málaga.

Identifying the factors influencing mathematical literacy in several Spanish regions

The aim of this paper is to analyse the students’ performance in the mathematical competency aspect of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015 tests and to compare 5 Spanish regions in this respect – Navarra, Castile-León and Catalonia, with results above the national average; and Extremadura and Andalusia, with results below the national average – in order to identify the factors causing these differences. To do so, we computed the degree of association between variables related to the students and to the schools with the scores obtained in the mathematical tests. The purpose of this analysis was to better understand the meaning of these scores and their causes and, above all, to propose educational policy actions for improving the students’ mathematical performance. In this study, a 2-level regression model was applied to the data collected in the PISA 2015 tests. The first level included the factors related to the students and the second was composed of the variables related to the schools. Our results highlight the significant influence of factors such as immigrant status, grade repetition, location of the school (rural or urban) and economic and sociocultural status. The relevance of these factors to students’ academic performance has been observed in previous editions of the PISA tests. We emphasise the need for action to improve students’ mathematical performance and, therefore, their educational success.Scientific Innovation and Employment Department of the Regional Government of Andalusia (Spain) HUM 141
