Japón, destino turístico de calidad: opción de aprendizaje para Colima
In this research feature presentation some results are presented as "A Propose Plan to implement a Culture with Quality Control in Tourism Business making Mexico an Attractive site in the Asia-Pacific market and Active within the PATA organism in the XXI Millennium". Which was performed in Japan from 2001 to 2004. This thesis acquires the category of qualitative and emergent and it arouse as a first attempt in reaching the point of a systematic application of the theory of the Model for Total Quality through the Total Control of Quality to the tourist product its basis and service as well as to be delivered with the purpose of giving benefits to the Mexican tourist sector, so that it would provide a gaining position of tourist from Asia, mostly Japanese and in this way it would take advantage Mexico’s participation in PATA. During the search field wok several investigation works were carried out, such as depth interviews to top level management (owner and or proprietor manager level of service area) from a ransom selection of some Japanese enterprises. It had the start point in the premise that most of the chosen Japanese business selected for search, are managed with own forms of management to serve the base service and deliver it with quality to reach the external customer satisfaction. In this presentation the analysis result of some interviews are shown. For the planned interviews, this search process used some techniques to get precise information whit sound impact on the research about the following key factors: a) customer satisfaction in all their needs, b) customer satisfaction in their expectations, c) customer loyalty to their supplier. Data collected are qualitative and its informant source was bases on the facts of the way they live the reality of serving the base service or product, which whit its delivery and know-how to their external customer. Techniques application has been carefully revised inside the Japanese cultural context. This research aims that it is through the analysis of application the Total Quality Serving model in Japanese enterprises, tourism businessmen of Colima will have a learning choice.
Contending theories of international relations
Course overview and objectives: MC 220 is the first half of a year-long introduction to the field of International Relations. We will be examining many of the central concepts, theories, and analytical tools used in contemporary social science to understand and explain international politics, with an emphasis on security. The course will focus on the strengths and weaknesses of different theoretical approaches in explaining the causes of war and of war termination, just means and ends for war, and the use of force including humanitarian intervention. We will use case studies to illustrate the use of competing theoretical approaches and concepts. The course is designed to enhance students' abilities to think critically and analytically about current problems and challenges in international politics. This course has five main objectives: 1) To familiarize yourself with key theories and approaches in the field of international relations. 2) To be able to apply these different theories and approaches to explaining particular cases of conflict and cooperation. In doing so, we will explore the strengths and weaknesses of these various approaches: the valuable insights each perspectives can give, to what extent the approaches are complimentary and to what extent they are contradictory, as well as the limits of these approaches in fully being able to explain patterns of conflict and cooperation. 3) To give you the concepts you will need to evaluate both theory and empirical cases of conflict and cooperation, and to understand the contested nature of the concepts. These concepts include war, power, balance of power, the security dilemma, collective security, foreign policy, security, anarchy, humanitarian intervention, globalization, and ideology. 4) To better understand the particular cases of conflict and cooperation we will study, as well as understand changing conceptions of international security and ways to promote international cooperation. 5) To provide you with opportunities to improve your critical thinking, reading, writing, and speaking abilities. Particular attention will be given to developing argumentation skills, both orally and in writing, through written assignments, in class discussions and weekly discussions on ANGEL, in class debates, and simulations. We will focus on the use of logic and evidence to build an argument, and address weaknesses and exceptions in order to determine the limits of an argument. Course organization: The course is organized so that case studies can illuminate a better understanding of international relations theory. We begin with an introduction to international relations theory and to …
Rational Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of γ-CD-Containing Cross-Linked Polyvinyl Alcohol Hydrogel as a Prednisone Delivery Platform
This study describes the in-silico rational design, synthesis and evaluation of cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels containing γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CDHSAs) as platforms for the sustained release of prednisone (PDN). Through in-silico studies using semi-empirical quantum mechanical calculations, the effectiveness of 20 dicarboxylic acids to generate a specific cross-linked hydrogel capable of supporting different amounts of γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) was evaluated. According to the interaction energies calculated with the in-silico studies, the hydrogel made from PVA cross-linked with succinic acids (SA) was shown to be the best candidate for containing γ-CD. Later, molecular dynamics simulation studies were performed in order to evaluate the intermolecular interactions between PDN and three cross-linked hydrogel formulations with different proportions of γ-CD (2.44%, 4.76% and 9.1%). These three cross-linked hydrogels were synthesized and characterized. The loading and the subsequent release of PDN from the hydrogels were investigated. The in-silico and experimental results showed that the interaction between PDN and γ-CDHSA was mainly produced with the γ-CDs linked to the hydrogels. Thus, the unique structures and properties of γ-CDHSA demonstrated an interesting multiphasic profile that could be utilized as a promising drug carrier for controlled, sustained and localized release of PDN.
