    En Colombia son pocos los indicadores sectoriales que sirven de base para la construcci贸n de 铆ndices de comercio aplicables a todo el pa铆s, hecho que conlleva a la implementaci贸n de pol铆ticas no compatibles con las caracter铆sticas reales de la econom铆a. Dadas sus implicaciones, el dise帽o de un modelo v谩lido para la estimaci贸n del 铆ndice 贸ptimo de apertura comercial (OAC), ocupa la atenci贸n de docentes, investigadores y economistas en formaci贸n. Aqu铆 se presentan los resultados parciales obtenidos por los Semilleros de Investigaci贸n de la Facultad de Econom铆a de la Universidad Cat贸lica de Colombia, quienes trabajan en la construcci贸n y validaci贸n de un modelo para la estimaci贸n del OAC a nivel regional; esto es, para municipios, corregimientos e inclusive veredas del pa铆s

    "Villapinz贸n, es un municipio ubicado en el departamento de Cundinamarca, cerca a la capital del pa铆s, 66.9% de su poblaci贸n es rural. Cuenta con terrenos aptos para la producci贸n de diferentes tipos de cultivos, goza de agua suficiente para explotar la vocaci贸n productiva agropecuaria. Sin embargo, los procesos productivos cuentan con bajos niveles de generaci贸n, difusi贸n y apropiaci贸n de conocimiento cient铆fico-tecnol贸gico en los sectores agropecuario e industrial, derivados por deficientes competencias y habilidades cient铆ficas-tecnol贸gicas, espacios inadecuados de conocimiento, pr谩cticas poco innovadoras heredadas, insuficiente vinculaci贸n de la academia/sector p煤blico/privado/sociedad, impactando negativamente la productividad, ingresos y el ambiente. Se plante贸 poner en marcha un Centro de Innovaci贸n Agroindustrial-CIA, el proyecto fue formulado con metodolog铆a del DNP, pero, se vio sometido a restricciones, particularmente, su limitaci贸n obedeci贸 a la actual institucionalidad del Fondo C,TeI del SGR, ya que el Decreto 1082 de 2015, establece que las Gobernaciones Departamentales tienen la funci贸n de "revisar y presentar los proyectos de inversi贸n para ser financiados..."--Tomado del Formato de Documento de Grado."Villapinz贸n is a municipality located in Cundinamarca Department, near the country's capital, with 66.9% of its population living in rural areas. It has lands that are arable for growing different kinds of crops, and also, it has enough water to develop the agricultural sector. However, production levels are low, specifically in growth, diffusion and garnering of scientific-technological knowledge on the agricultural and industrial sectors. This situation is caused by inadequate scientific-technological competences and skills, poor learning areas, outdated practices, and insufficient participation of the academia and the public and private sector, including society, which, combined, have a negative impact on productivity, income, and the environment. As result of the latter, we have introduced the idea of launching an Agricultural Innovation Centre-CIA, this project was based on the DNP's methodology, but it was subject to restrictions -mostly due to the current SGR's institutionalism of the CTel Fund- from Decree 1082 of 2015 that establishes that department governments are entitled?"--Tomado del Formato de Documento de Grado.Mag铆ster en Pol铆ticas P煤blicasMaestr铆

    Guidelines for the use and interpretation of assays for monitoring autophagy (4th edition)

    In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Thus, it is important to formulate on a regular basis updated guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Despite numerous reviews, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to evaluate autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. Here, we present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a dogmatic set of rules, because the appropriateness of any assay largely depends on the question being asked and the system being used. Moreover, no individual assay is perfect for every situation, calling for the use of multiple techniques to properly monitor autophagy in each experimental setting. Finally, several core components of the autophagy machinery have been implicated in distinct autophagic processes (canonical and noncanonical autophagy), implying that genetic approaches to block autophagy should rely on targeting two or more autophagy-related genes that ideally participate in distinct steps of the pathway. Along similar lines, because multiple proteins involved in autophagy also regulate other cellular pathways including apoptosis, not all of them can be used as a specific marker for bona fide autophagic responses. Here, we critically discuss current methods of assessing autophagy and the information they can, or cannot, provide. Our ultimate goal is to encourage intellectual and technical innovation in the field
