In recent years, the rapidly changing landscape of society and the economy has compelled organizations to adapt and innovate. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have seen significant advancements in hardware and software. However, many companies within the ICT sector often overlook the need to infuse innovation into areas beyond ICT development and infrastructure. This study evaluates the innovation capabilities of medium-sized enterprises providing Information Technology Service Management (ITSM) in Medellín, Colombia. Utilizing a structural equation model, the study examined causal variables related to competitiveness and innovation capacity. Of the 42 variables considered, seven, including corporate branding evaluation, sustainable development, and improvisation capability, showed results below the normal threshold. The ICT sector, focused on the development and provision of technological and Industry 4.0-related services, continuously evolves. This model contributes to assessing and achieving that objective.
En años recientes, la sociedad y la economía han experimentado cambios significativos que han requerido que las organizaciones se reinventen y se adapten a nuevas metodologías y procesos, lo cual se logra a través de la innovación. A pesar de los avances en tecnologías de información y comunicación (TIC), las empresas de este sector no siempre reconocen la necesidad de incorporar la innovación en áreas más allá del desarrollo y la infraestructura de las TIC. Este estudio se enfoca en evaluar las capacidadesde innovación de empresas medianas que ofrecen Servicio de Gestión de Tecnología de la Información (ITSM) en el sector de las TIC en Medellín, Colombia, mediante un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados señalan que solo siete de las 42 variables del modelo obtuvieron resultados inferiores al umbral normal. Estas siete variables incluyen la evaluación de la marca corporativa, el desarrollo sostenible y la capacidad de improvisación. El sector de TIC se encuentra en constante innovación debido a su enfoque en el desarrollo y provisión de servicios relacionados con la tecnología y la Industria 4.0. El modelo propuesto puede contribuir a la evaluación de dichas capacidades y alcanzar ese objetivo.

Time-like Graphical Models
2019
The author studies continuous processes indexed by a special family of graphs. Processes indexed by vertices of graphs are known as probabilistic graphical models. In 2011, Burdzy and Pal proposed a continuous version of graphical models indexed by graphs with an embedded time structure-- so-called time-like graphs. The author extends the notion of time-like graphs and finds properties of processes indexed by them. In particular, the author solves the conjecture of uniqueness of the distribution for the process indexed by graphs with infinite number of vertices. The author provides a new result showing the stochastic heat equation as a limit of the sequence of natural Brownian motions on time-like graphs. In addition, the author's treatment of time-like graphical models reveals connections to Markov random fields, martingales indexed by directed sets and branching Markov processes.
25 years of 22 minutes : an unauthorized oral history of this hour has 22 minutes, as told by cast members, staff, and guests
\"The final chaotic season of Codco had just wrapped when Mary Walsh sat down at a Toronto bistro with George Anthony, then creative head of CBC TV's arts programming. She'd been thinking about a news-based comedy show-did he think that would fly? He did. That was the early '90s. Twenty-five seasons later, hundreds of thousands of Canadians continue to tune in weekly to This Hour Has 22 Minutes for its unashamedly Canadian, bitingly satirical take on politics and power. 25 Years of 22 Minutes takes readers backstage to hear first-hand accounts of the show's key moments-in the words of the writers, producers, and cast members who were there. Readers will have a front-row seat to the birth of the show-including a crisis that had producers scrambling in the very first episode-and an insider's take on the highs, the lows and the daily grind behind the scenes at 22 Minutes.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Folklore and entertaining tales concerning ninjas remain immensely popular as the Ninja has captured a central place in the cultural imagination, both in Japan and in the West.

La Faceta de Kafka como Dibujante. La Casa del Jardín de Goethe: Un Dibujo de Franz Kafka
2019
Se presenta un estudio sobre Kafka como dibujante. Se analiza su dibujo Casa del jardín de Goethe, en La estrella, en el Parque del Ilm, en Weimar, atendiendo tanto a aspectos plásticos como al contexto y al momento existencial en el que se hallaba el autor praguense cuando lo realizó. Primero, se señala de manera breve el interés y la relación que tuvo Kafka con las artes plásticas; también con artistas de su momento y ámbito geográfico y lingüístico, además de su conocimiento de artistas y obras pertenecientes a la Historia del Arte. Después, se trata sobre su vocación artística, su faceta de dibujante y se analizan elementos compositivos y formarles de sus dibujos. A continuación, se consideran unos periplos vacacionales de nuestro autor. En el último de los aquí reflejados realizó el dibujo que nos ocupa. Finalmente, se cierra el trabajo con una breve conclusión.

This study analyzes acknowledgment documents and wills executed in the city.
El objeto de este artículo es el proceso de reconocimiento de hijos en Cuenca, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Este reconocimiento supone un acto de doble vía en el que se involucran los reconocedores (padres) y los reconocidos (hijas e hijos), en dos espacios claramente diferenciados: el familiar y el social, con implicaciones morales y económicas específicas. El trabajo se ocupa de analizar cartas de reconocimiento y testamentos celebrados en la ciudad, fuentes primarias mediante las cuales obtiene sus conclusiones.
