Use of Intellectual Property in the Tourism Sector

This study aims to establish the scenarios in which it is possible to carry out effective protection of intellectual property in the sector services sector and specifically in tourism. For this purpose, a literature review was carried out both in tourism and in the application of intellectual property to the services sector. It was possible to identify that the use of intellectual property in the sector can favor the promotion of tourism, knowledge, traditions and national culture. It was also established that intellectual property protection mechanisms are associated with copyright, domain names and platforms, trademarks (mainly umbrella brand), geographical indications and industrial designs

Use of the industrial property system for new creations in Colombia: A departmental analysis (2000–2016)

The purpose of this paper is to establish what was the spatial distribution in Colombia of the request and granting of new creations between 2000 and 2016? For this, the spatial autocorrelation is calculated up to order 7 for the cumulative of each of the types of new creations requested and granted, and a spatial conglomerate model in order to identify department groups with respect to their behavior in innovation, considering as a proxy, the registrations and concessions of new creations of residents in Colombia between 2000 and 2016. Among the findings, it was identified that (i) in Colombia the registration culture is not available in a timely and adequate manner of the new creations; (ii) there is no evidence of spatial autocorrelation; (iii) in the departments of Amazonas, Vaupés, Guaviare, Guainía, Vichada, the former quartermaster, no registration was carried out between 2000 and 2016; (iv) it is necessary to promote the registration campaigns, education on the industrial property system and an increase in the points of service of the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce, in the departments of Cundinamarca and Santander, since they demonstrated a potential for the records of new creations

Human Capital Through A Prospective Method: A Study For Latin America

Ths study aims to evaluate education as a component of human capital in comparison to other types of investments that relate to the formation of this stock. First, this study uses a nonparametric method known as prospective to estimate the value of human capital for a sample of ten Latin American countries from returns perspective. Then, through partial decompositions examines the contribution of education in the volumes of human capital. The results indicate positive effects of education that however tend to m out in the long run

Academic production patterns in public administration: An analysis based on scopus

This study analyzes the academic production on public administration for the period between January, 1930 and June, 2016 with emphasis on production from 2010 to June 2016. For this purpose descriptive bibliometric indicators will be used: volume of production, typology of documents, number of citations, institutional affiliation of the researchers, sources, main journals, countries of origin of the researchers and the H, G, R, i10 and A indices from the records of the Scopus bibliographic index

Object oriented modeling frameworks for the social systems

In the present study, an object oriented approach and modeling framework is proposed for the construction of synthetic, computational models of social systems. The conventional approach to model and study social systems will be reviewed and outlined, indicating its limitations to deal with their associated complex turbulent phenomena. The proposed object oriented integrative modeling will be explained emphasizing its advantages compared to reductionist methods when dealing with complex systems. Finally, the main architecture of the UTOPIA computational modeling framework, an ongoing, development is shown and described

Current trends in international logistics research

In this research, a bibliometric review was carried out on international logistics, performing a comparative analysis of production between 1956 and 2016 and then focusing on production from 2013-2016 in order to establish the current trends in logistics research international. Descriptive bibliometric indicators were used: volume of production, typology of documents, writing languages, number of citations, institutional affiliation of authors, sources, main journals, countries of origin of the researcher. The most promising themes in the field were green and sustainable supply chains application of big data, e-Commerce, incidence of aspects redefinition of supply chain and logistics, collaborative logistics case studies (China) global manufacturing networks analysis capacity building and user satisfaction

A Bibliometric review of sociocybernetics

Sociocyberetics is an emerging field of research, innovation and development whose proposed goal is the construction of knowledge on social systems from the systems science and cybemetics perspectives. Sociocyberetics assumes that social systems belong to the superclass of complex systems and promotes the computational modeling and simulation approach to support decision-making processes when dealing with social systems problems. In the present work, the results and analysis of a bibliometric review on sociocyberetics is reported. The main conclusion of the present work is the fact that at the present, sociocyberetics is at its initial stage of development but widely extended both geographcally and across scientific disciplines whch justifies efforts directed towards a sustained work in its development and its consolidation

Architecture of an object-oriented modeling framework for human occupation

The limitations of the actual theoretical structure of occupational science are discussed emphasizing on its implications when dealing with the stability and sustainability of social systems. By using a literature review focused on the time evolution and disciplinary distribution of the scientific production about human occupation, it is verified the insufficient production leading to the development of models that facilitate quantitative reasoning to support decision making. As an alternative, the architecture of an object-oriented framework is proposed. The framework is presented by using an UML (Unified Modeling Language) class diagram of a generic occupational system, including the class model of each system’s component: attributes and behaviors. Finally, guidelines are given for the use of the models produced with the framework in simulating diverse occupation systems scenarios

Multiphysics modeling for bone remodeling simulation: A methodological framework

In the present study an object oriented integrative modeling methodology is proposed for the construction of synthetic, computational models of bone-bone environment system that allow its simulation under in vivo conditions. The analytical mathematical approach to model and study ordinary materials will be outlined, indicating its limitations when dealing with biomaterials in physiological environments. The proposed object oriented integrative modeling will be explained emphasizing its advantages and possibilities. Finally, the architecture of the "in vivo" modeling and simulation software framework is shown, described and explained indicating further work based on this framework

Hierarchical ascending classification: An application to contraband apprehensions in Colombia (2015–2016)

An empirical study of ex post facto type was carried out using, as a primary source, the database of the Direction of Management of Control of the Subdirector of Management of Customs Control in the Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales (DIAN) of Colombia and applying the hierarchical ascending classification of contraband apprehensions in Colombia (2015–2016), in order to review the effectiveness of the law 1762 2015. The large amount of data was worked using data mining techniques such as: conglomerates and clustering. Through this method, it was possible to identify six conglomerates that explain 97.14% of the data variability. Similar behaviors were identified in some areas such as the border with Venezuela, the southern border of Colombia, but not in coastal areas. Because it is common that the quantities apprehended does not have a direct relationship with the value of the same, it is necessary to identify if this situation is due to a change in the typology of contraband products, the effect of the exchange rate, or deficiencies in the valuation techniques
