ResumenDesde hace tiempo, muchos especialistas señalan que la clave para incorporar la sostenibilidad a una propuesta, de manera económicamente viable, es considerar los objetivos y criterios sostenibles desde los primeros pasos del proyecto, porque es cuando la relación entre la efectividad de las estrategias planteadas y el coste de implementarlas es más beneficiosa. El principal objetivo de este trabajo ha sido el desarrollo de una herramienta, denominada Green Improvement Tool v1.7, que simplifica al máximo las cuestiones relativas a la sostenibilidad, dando solución a las necesidades de sus potenciales usuarios y reuniendo al mismo tiempo varias características: claridad en sus términos y objetivos (para evitar confusiones y fallos de implementación), viabilidad técnica y económica en su aplicación, flexibilidad suficiente para adaptarse a situaciones y contextos diversos, capacidad de promover el uso de diferentes tecnologías y, ante todo, estimular el interés de dichos usuarios en un proceso de mejora continua. Los ensayos realizados en casos de estudio reales, durante el proceso de validación, indican que la herramienta permite anticipar desde las fases iniciales, con una fiabilidad media superior al 95%, más del 80% de los resultados al final del proceso.AbstractMany experts have long pointed out that the key to incorporating sustainability into a proposal in an economically viable way is to consider sustainable objectives and criteria from the very first steps of the project because the relationship between the effectiveness of the strategies proposed and The cost of implementing them is more beneficial. The main objective of this work has been the development of a tool, called Green Improvement Tool v1.7, which simplifies as much as possible the questions related to sustainability, giving solution to the needs of its potential users and bringing together several characteristics: Clarity in terms and objectives (to avoid confusion and failure to implement), technical and economic feasibility in its application, sufficient flexibility to adapt to different situations and contexts, ability to promote the use of different technologies and, above all, to stimulate interest of these users in a process of continuous improvement. During the validation process, the tests carried out in real cases indicate that the tool allows more than 80% of the results at the end of the process to be anticipated from the initial phases, with an average reliability of more than 95%.

The Relationship

The grassroots union experiment undertaken at the Lear automotive parts factory in Argentina can be seen as a paradigmatic struggle for an understanding of the relationship between unionism and politics. The Lear case reveals that the distinctiveness of radical political unionism lies in the democratic elements of its decision making and its appeal to direct action, its construction of alliances with other social organizations, its linkage of economic demands with broader political objectives, its identification of the management, the state, and the union bureaucracy as adversaries, and its transmission of a leftist political culture. La experiencia sindical de la fábrica de autopartes Lear en Argentina puede ser analizada como un conflicto paradigmático para comprender la relación entre sindicalismo y política. El caso de Lear revela que el carácter distintivo del sindicalismo político radical se encuentra en los mecanismos democráticos de toma de decisiones y en la apelación a medidas de acción directa, la construcción de alianzas con otras organizaciones sociales, la vinculación de las demandas económicas con objetivos políticos más amplios, la identificación de la empresa, el Estado y la burocracia sindical como adversarios y la transmisión de una cultura política de izquierda.

The chapter explains in detail the maintenance management model (MMM) taken as a reference for the development of the book. The chapter is based on the eight phases of the MMM. The first three blocks determine the effectiveness of the management; the following blocks assure the same efficiency and continuous improvement in the following way: Blocks 4 and 5 include actions for the planning and scheduling of maintenance, including, of course, the capacity of planning of department of maintenance. Blocks 6 and 7 are dedicated to the evaluation and control of the maintenance and the cost of assets throughout their life cycle. This chapter of introduction briefly summarizes the process and the reference frame necessary for the implementation of the MMM. This chapter also presents the relationship between the eight phases of the maintenance management model proposed and the general requirements of the asset management standard ISO 55000 to show how the gradual implementation of the MMM largely covers the requirements of the standard ISO 55000.

El método contable de cargo y descargo, un procedimiento de naturaleza más jurídica que contable, se empleaba cuando la actividad económica de la organización era confiada a un agente, circunstancia que facilita su análisis desde la Teoría de la Agencia. Tradicionalmente ha estado ligado a la toma de decisiones y al control del agente, sobre lo que existe una amplia bibliografía. Sin embargo, hasta ahora no se ha considerado como un instrumento que anula el conflicto de intereses contrapuestos surgidos en la relación entre principal y agente en una gestión delegada.El análisis de los documentos de cargo y descargo, contenido en estudios previos que tienen como base las fuentes documentales manuscritas y en los que se ha estudiado la relación entre principal y agente desde la perspectiva histórico-contable, ha permitido identificar todos los elementos característicos de la relación de agencia, inferir los intereses de principal y agentes, deducir los incentivos empleados por el principal para alinear el comportamiento de los agentes y concluir que este modo de registro era capaz de neutralizar los desequilibrios de intereses y la información asimétrica entre ambos. This paper examines some accounting and legal aspects of the charge and discharge system and the relationship between it and the Agency Theory. This type of accounting was used when the economic activity was entrusted to an agent; it suggests that the Agency Theory is an excellent framework to analyze the accounts. Traditionally the Charge and Discharge has been linked to the decision making and control of the agent's management, on which there is a wide bibliography, however, until now, it has not been considered as an instrument to cancel conflicts that arisen in the relationship between principal and agent and getting the equilibrium of the relationship between them.We analyzed the documents and that allowed us to show different aspects as identify all characteristic elements of the agency relationship, infer the interests of principal and agents, deduct the incentives used by the principal to align the behavior of the agents and conclude that this mode of registration was able to neutralize the imbalances of interests and the asymmetric information between both.

The Relationship

Raw materials and products are moved and created globally through complex supply chains. Within those supply chains, logistics is what enables the goods to move through distribution and to the end consumer. This is what motivates the researchers to examine the logistics portion of the supply chain and attempt to determine the relationship between various market forces and their impact on the cost of logistics. This will be accomplished with transformative analytics techniques, such as multivariate regression modeling, that should enable logistics managers, researchers, and others to better understand the cost of logistics services, and thus impact pricing of goods dependent on those services. In a world where logistics managers rely heavily on “gut feel”, utilizing business intelligence and analytics can better enable decision making.

El objetivo del estudio es diseñar y validar una herramienta de evaluación para squash, para ello se parte del instrumento en tenis de McPherson y French (1991). La Herramienta de Evaluación del Rendimiento en Squash (HERS) se configuró con tres factores: principios tácticos, toma de decisiones y ejecución de destrezas motrices para los gestos técnico-tácticos del resto al servicio y la dejada. La incorporación de los principios tácticos aporta la contextualización ecológica del deporte, respondiendo al requisito de evaluar la toma de decisiones y el rendimiento en contextos reales: en condiciones in situ y con tareas experimentales representativas. Los resultados obtenidos en 12 jugadores en la HERS presentan una fiabilidad inter-observador para jugadores expertos de un alfa de Cronbach de .787 para la dejada y .878 para el resto; en jugadores novatos un alfa de Cronbach de .916 para la dejada y .918 para el resto. La fiabilidad en la estabilidad del instrumento es de un alfa de Cronbach de .903 en el resto y .887 en la dejada. La HERS tiene una validez de contenido adecuada, mediante la valoración positiva de seis expertos externos. La validez de criterio es óptima, pues está orientada a la predicción, ya que el criterio es el nivel de pericia y el rendimiento en situación de juego real. Como conclusión se la nueva herramienta de evaluación es válida e innovadora, pues permite medir in situ diferentes contextos o niveles de pericia en la toma de decisiones y la ejecución para mejorar el rendimiento deportivo.Palabras clave. evaluación de habilidades, tareas experimentales representativas, principios tácticos, rendimiento de juego, niveles de pericia.Abstract. This research aims to design and validate, in the Squash players, the McPherson and French ‘Components of Real Play in Tennis Encoding Instrument´ (1991). The new ‘Performance Assessment Tool in Squash´ (SPET) was configured by three factors: tactical principles, decision making and execution of motor skills for technical-tactical gestures of returning of the serve and the drop shot in situation of real game. The incorporation of tactical principles of game provides an ecological contextualization of sport, responding to the requirement to assess decision-making and performance in sport contexts: representative experimental tasks in situ conditions. The 12 players in the HERS results show inter-observer reliability: in expert players have a Cronbach’s Alpha .787 for the drop out gesture and .878 for the return gesture; in rookie players are a Cronbach’s Alpha of .916 for drop out gesture and .918 for the return gesture. The reliability, in the stability of the instrument, achieves a Cronbach’s Alpha of .903 at drop out gesture and .887 on the return gesture. The SPET has an adequate content validity, by the positive assessment of six external experts. It has an adequate criterion validity oriented to the prediction, since, in the study; the criterion comes from the level of expertise and the performance in real game situation. It has been developed an assessment tool valid and innovative, which allows measuring, in a closest procedure to the Ecological Systems, players from different contexts or expertise levels related to the decision-making and the implementation towards the improvement of performance.Keywords. skills evaluation, sport actions in situ conditions, tactical principles, game performance, expertise levels.

The results of the study are derived from a framework for estimating and recovering damage from emissions, the assimilation potential and sustainable development goals taken into account as well. The identified conditions for the establishment of an effective system for internalizing economic damage from emissions in the territory are limited to ensuring the fairness and consistency of the decisions taken, formation of incentives for continuous improvement of the situation and achievement of the goals of sustainable development in the territories. The main conditions are to reduce the limitations of traditional methods and to overcome uncertainty in the analysis of data. The development of assimilation potential should generate income for its owner (the source of income is the polluter). If payments for cap-and-trade payments are insufficient, the state must subsidize the activity. Since the estimation of the cost of cap-and-overs is done in some part in isolation, it is possible to identify the economic feasibility of its operation within the framework of the model. Due to importance and complexity, one of the main elements and conditions of an effective system of internalization of externalities in the territory is the solution of the problems of road transport.
