La gulupa (Passiflora edulis Sims var. edulis), es considerada como un fruto exótico con características sensoriales notables como su coloración morada, fragante olor y sabor agridulce. La región de Anaime ubicada en el Municipio de Cajamarca – Tolima, se caracteriza por su altitud y clima húmedo, propicio para el cultivo de este fruto. El objetivo del trabajo fue analizar las características fisicoquímicas y actividad antioxidante de una fracción de la parte comestible del fruto de la gulupa, cultivada en la zona estudio. Los parámetros humedad, actividad de agua (aw), potencial de hidrógeno (pH), acidez total titulable (ATT), conductividad eléctrica, solidos solubles totales (...
Drug Trafficking, Corruption and States is cutting edge research. Garay Salamanca and Salcedo-Albarán, along with their contributing authors help document the transition from economic to political imperatives within transnational drug cartels. The break from the Zetas by La Familia Michoacana is one example contained in their empirical survey. Social Network Analysis is their tool for illuminating the varying dynamics of cartel-state inter-penetration and reconfiguration. In doing so they clearly discern between State Capture (StC) and Co-opted State Reconfiguration (CStR). As the drug wars and criminal insurgencies rage in the Americas and beyond, this seminal framework will facilitate efforts by scholars, law enforcement officials, intelligence analysts and policymakers to understand shifts in sovereignty, and to illuminate the mechanisms of transnational illicit networks and their interaction with the state.
"All over the world, in all democratic States, independently of having a legal system based on the common law or on the civil law principles, the courts – special constitutional courts, supreme courts or ordinary courts – have the power to decide and declare the unconstitutionality of legislation or of other State acts when a particular statute violates the text of the Constitution or of its constitutional principles. This power of the courts is the consequence of the consolidation in contem-porary constitutionalism of three fundamental principles of law: first, the existence of a written or unwritten constitution or of a fundamental law, conceived as a superior law with clear supremacy ...

El Derecho Disciplinario en Colombia ha evolucionado y se ha consolidado bajo la premisa de la autonomía e independencia funcional respecto de sus principales mentores e n épocas recientes, como lo era el Derecho Administrativo o el Derecho Penal. Ciertamente derecho sancionatorio o contravencional administrativo y derecho penal son especies del género ius puniendi, empero, también lo es el derecho disciplinario, de tal manera que existe entre ellos una conexión estructural, que no dependencia, que muestran a éste como una nueva disciplina de imperiosa y necesaria observación, para los efectos de cumplir con los cometidos de la función pública en un Estado Social y Democrático de Derecho. En el texto se encontrará, bajo las anteriores premisas, los fundamentos que soportan la idea de una Dogmática del Derecho Disciplinario.
This engaging and clearly written textbook/reference provides a must-have introduction to the rapidly emerging interdisciplinary field of data science. It focuses on the principles fundamental to becoming a good data scientist and the key skills needed to build systems for collecting, analyzing, and interpreting data. The Data Science Design Manual is a source of practical insights that highlights what really matters in analyzing data, and provides an intuitive understanding of how these core concepts can be used. The book does not emphasize any particular programming language or suite of data-analysis tools, focusing instead on high-level discussion of important design principles. This easy...
It is 1937 and Amabelle Désir, a young Haitian woman living in the Dominican Republic, has built herself a life as the servant and companion of the wife of a wealthy colonel. She and Sebastien, a cane worker, are deeply in love and plan to marry. But Amabelle's world collapses when a wave of genocidal violence, driven by Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo, leads to the slaughter of Haitian workers. Amabelle and Sebastien are separated, and she desperately flees the tide of violence for a Haiti she barely remembers. Already acknowledged as a classic, this harrowing story of love and survival—from one of the most important voices of her generation—is an unforgettable memorial to the victims of the Parsley Massacre and a testimony to the power of human memory.
