Aunque los restos de plumas que se conservan son muy escasos, sabemos que fueron un recurso clave para los antiguos mayas. Las plumas largas e irridiscentes de la cola del quetzal eran muy preciadas y prestigiosas; se usaron como objetos para comerciar, adornar tocados, atuendos o instrumentos musicales y fueron ofrecidas como tributo real. He aquí cómo se adquirían, mostraban y valoraban estos efímeros símbolos de riqueza. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this article is to address the transformations in the valued attributes of workers, through the analysis of policies based on labor competencies.The hypothesis is that the competences paradigm facilitates the implementation of individualized work management models, in which soft skills take relevance. These management modalities displace unions from participating in the definition of valued attributes. We will use a qualitative methodology. The data sources were documents from national and international organizations in charge of implementing labor competencies policies in Argentina, and collective labor agreements in the automotive sector. In addition, in-depth interviews were used with workers and group leaders from a Japanese automotive terminal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We seek to understand the elements that constitute the urban structure in order to define models that provide intervention strategies for a specific urban space; the case that we present, approaches the study of a sector of the traditional hull of the city of Mérida - Venezuela. The work was developed through three fundamental stages: the first one of analysis, seeks to understand the urban-architectural characteristics of the sector under study with the aim of apprehending guidelines that guide the subsequent stages of intervention; The second of urban intervention, seeks to recover the wealth of traditional centers, but incorporating the advantages of contemporary urban planning in terms of image, landscape and mobility; The third and last stage, of architectural intervention, seeks to enrich the sector by means of the insertion of an urban equipment according to its activities and scale. Methodologically, the research was carried out through both quantitative and qualitative approaches, which allowed us to combine data from field inspection and documentary review, with the study of theoretical-conceptual and urban-architectural theories, concluding with the formulation of criteria of urban and architectural design that defined the final proposal. The proposal seeks to rescue different urban sectors within the city, giving them architectural value and gradually connecting them in a coherent way from the morphological, functional and landscape points of view. The results of the intervention of the Plaza Sucre as an urban proposal and the incorporation of the Municipal Theater as an architectural proposal, prove precisely that Mérida lacks spaces suitable for the enjoyment of the pedestrian and for the visual recognition of its architecture.

The aim of this research was to develop an isotonic drink ensuring any adequate inclusion of carbohydrates. Mineral;-carbohydrates and chemical characteristics (pH, conductivity, acidity and osmolarity) were evaluated and the developed product was sensorially evaluated by a seven points hedonic scale. The concentration of Na+ and K+ in the developed drink was of 21.10 and 6.05 meq/L, respectively. The carbohydrate value was of 6.9 g/100 mL. The pH value was remained between 3.1-3.4 and titrated acidity 0.23-0.30%. The osmolarity was 302 mOsm/L, similar value to that of the plasma osmolarity (290 mOsm/L), which indicates that the developed drink can hydrate quickly and effectively to persons of high performance (yield).

This Vía Crucis, through inexcusable historic rigidity, dedicates itself within the habitual piety of the European Catholicism of the last century; with some dramatic accents - smoothed out through translation - facing the fear of condemnation, over the love confided in Christ, to the Father and the Holy Spirit. A perfectly normal thing, then, in a small text of devotion. As is habit, nevertheless, the venerable John Henry Newman impresses upon these Stations of the Cross a shift that reveals itself through his own unique traits of temperament and piety; so, his intense awareness of the invisible world is reflected in the presence of angels, when they circle the body of the Redeemer, and on other occasions; or the grand final eschatological vision; or the moving role of the mother that plays the Virgin in this Vía Crucis, truly of the Virgin Mary.

Directive 2005/29 on unfair commercial practices persecutes the construction of general a regulating frame with a view to obtaining a homogenous protection of the European consumer, as well as the elimination of the barriers in the inner market in the European Union. To this aim, the communitarian legislator has devised a norm that he looks for to consolidate the confidence of the consumer in the internal market and the access of the consumers to the border interchange, which at the same time contributes to increase the competition and the efficiency within the internal market. In the development of these objectives one granted to the Directive very ample contours. Then, in this analysis the scope of application of the Directive is examined, the concepts commercial practices and their structure, in order to determine if indeed the Directive offers an opportunity to establish a uniform notion of commercial fairness, that benefits not only to the consumers but also the border commerce.

This paper intends to contribute to understand if "the right to the truth" is per se legally binding and carries with it the correlative and autonomous obligation which if unfulfilled will create a consequence under international law or if it has no independence. The reflection is based on the evolution of the right to the truth and the consideration of the right to the truth as part of the international sources of law under the traditional, and for some, restrictive vision listed in the main sources of article 38 of the Statue of the International Court of Justice, ICJ. To obtain this outcome, previous certain introductory elements, I will try to analyze in a first part the historical origin and evolution of the right to the truth in its different dimensions and materializations so that, in a second part I can analyze its autonomous normative strength under the discussion of Soft-Law and traditional sources of international law.

The article describes the trip of the Tunisian ruler Ahmad Bay to France in 1846. According to the author, it is unclear why the Bey, who was born in 1806, went to France as there are no records that France invited him and suggests that his trip was organized quickly, taking diplomatic circles by surprise. Bey was the fist Muslim ruler to travel in an official capacity to meet with a Christian king in Europe. The article is rich in descriptions about the trip and quotes from records kept by the Bey.
