Abstract The gap in competitiveness between Romanian SMEs and European firms is generated by limited access to economic, legal, technological and management knowledge. This gap can be recovered by using the services of external consultants which can bring added value to the company. The consulting services market has had an upward trend in last years at European level, but in Romania there is still some reluctance to these services and even distrust regarding the companies that offer them. Based on these facts, this paper aims to highlight the proportion and the characteristics of Romanian entrepreneurs that use external consultants and the evolution of the usage of external consulting services, taking into account the last five years. The results obtained in the current research reveal an irregular evolution of rate of SMEs that use external consulting services. One can see that, in the period of analysis, there was been a descendant trend of entrepreneurs that resort to consultancy between 2011 and 2014. On the other hand, the percentage of entrepreneurs that use external consultants has had a significant comeback in 2015, when 10,49% of enterprises have resorted to this type of services.

Guiding Principles

According to the FAIR guiding principles, one of the central attributes for maximizing the added value of information artifacts is interoperability. In this paper, I discuss the importance, and propose a characterization of the notion of Semantic Interoperability. Moreover, I show that a direct consequence of this view is that Semantic Interoperability cannot be achieved without the support of, on one hand, (i) ontologies, as meaning contracts capturing the conceptualizations represented in information artifacts and, on the other hand, of (ii) Ontology, as a discipline proposing formal meth- ods and theories for clarifying these conceptualizations and articulating their representations. In particular, I discuss the fundamental role of formal ontological theories (in the latter sense) to properly ground the construction of representation languages, as well as methodological and computational tools for supporting the engineering of ontologies (in the former sense) in the context of FAIR.

Artistic Quality

Resumen: Esta investigacióvn presenta la influencia en Charles-Edouard Jeanneret de su maestro Charles L´Eplattenier a través de dos instituciones: l´École d´Art de La Chaux-de-Fonds donde ambas figuras se encontraron y la asociación de la Suiza francófona l´OEUVRE, en la que los dos coincidieron también un breve espacio de tiempo en la misma época. La actividad en ambas instituciones representa la doble vertiente de un único proyecto para reformar los procesos artísticos ligados a los oficios artesanales; el propósito era incorporar al producto industrial producido en serie el valor añadido de su calidad artística, siguiendo el ejemplo de la Werkbund alemana. Para tal fin era necesario llevar a cabo una profunda reforma en el programa de enseñanza de dibujo en l´École d´Art, y desarrollar a la vez, una serie de acciones que permitieran visualizar los logros alcanzados. Su estrategia estaba apoyada en dos pilares: formación y propaganda. La presente investigación detalla de que manera Jeanneret participó en este proyecto a través de su intervención tanto en l´École d´Art y las nuevas estructuras para renovar la enseñanza del dibujo, como en la asociación l¨OEUVRE y sus distintos proyectos, A través de estas iniciativas encontramos el origen de algunos temas a los que Le Corbusier dedicará su atención; identificamos personajes que jugarán un papel importante en distintos momentos de su vida o proyectos y artículos que anunciarán propuestas teóricas y prácticas de sus trabajos posteriores. Abstract: This research presents the influence in Charles-Edouard Jeanneret of his master Charles L'Eplattenier in the context of two institutions. On one hand ´École d´Art de La Chaux-de-Fonds, where both figures met and where they established a first line of common work; and on the other hand, the association from the french-speaking Switzerland called l'Oeuvre, in which both briefly met. The activity in both institutions had the same goal and was in reality a single project: the reform of artistic processes bounded to the craft trades to provide the mass-produced industrial goods with the added value of artistic quality, following the example of the Deutscher Werkbund. In order to do this, it was necessary to carry out a profound reform of the drawing education program of l´Ecole d´Art and develop a series of propaganda actions allowing to visualize its achievements. Thus, the strategy was based on two pillars: education and propaganda. This research details how Jeanneret contributed to this project through his involvement in both, l´École d´Art’s renovation of drawing education and the Association l'Oeuvre’s various projects. Through them we discover the origin of some of the subjects that Le Corbusier will devote its attention to, characters that will play an important role in different moments of his life, or projects and articles that announce theoretical proposals or practices of his subsequent work.  Palabras clave: Cours Supérieur; Nouvelle Section; Ateliers d´Art Réunis; L´OEUVRE.

Product Recommendations

Online recommendation services (widely known as recommender systems) can support potential buyers by providing product recommendations that match their preferences. When integrated into e-markets, recommendation services may offer important added value, since they can help online buyers to save time and make informed purchase decisions, as well as e-market operators to respond to buyer product’s queries in a more efficient manner, thus attracting more potential buyers. On the other hand, the variety of intelligent recommendation techniques that can support such services may often prove complex and costly to implement. Towards this direction, this chapter proposes a design process for deploying intelligent recommendation services in existing e-markets, in order to reduce the complexity of such kind of software development. To demonstrate the applicability of this approach, the proposed process is applied for the integration of a wine recommendation service in a Greek e-market with agricultural products.

This article focuses on understanding the symbolic and meaningful constructions that people attribute to their experiences lived at thematic restaurants in the city of Medellin (Colombia), as these are a fundamental part of the eatertainment trend, which has emerged worldwide, outstanding unpublished consumption situations that fuse gastronomy and entertainment. To this end, studies, on consumer situations related to entertainment and food were investigated, and theoretical contributions on perception, experiences, restaurants, gastronomy, leisure, symbolic constructions and social interactions were reviewed. The epistemological parameters were based on phenomenology as an eclectic current that studies experiences, whose methodology used was qualitative, with collection techniques based on interviews with consumers and restaurant’s owners. On the other hand, results showed that people are attracted to new and creative restaurants, where they can find experiences that generate added value in terms of decoration, entertainment, gastronomy and service, which is what thematic restaurants offer, and that is low in the city. This information about local consumer behaviour is not only relevant to those living in the city or country, but to future foreign investors who want to develop a thematic restaurant proposal in Medellin.

One attempt to create a processed product of fishery products in the form of finished goods which main raw material are fishery products is by processing it into crackers. Crackers are generally made from tapioca flour as a source of starch with the addition of spices and water which have a low nutrient content. Addition of nutritional crackers can be done by adding fish meat. While on the other hand, the type of fish as the main raw material for making fish crackers greatly influences the color, texture and taste of fish crackers. As in the case with squid crackers which have distinctive taste and performance when compared to other fish crackers. To see the potential of the squid cracker business, it is necessary to conduct research to see whether the processing of squid into squid crackers is able to provide increased income or in other words whether the squid cracker business is feasible or not and how much added value from processing squid to squid crackers. This study aims to look at the feasibility of squid cracker business in terms of financial aspects and to determine the amount of added value obtained from processing squid into squid crackers. The research showed that the development of a squid cracker business was feasible and prospective to be carried out.

Tejocote has been used traditionally in Mexico since Pre-Hispanic times and currently its cultivation it is considered of lesser economic importance, is distributed mainly in the States of Mexico, Puebla, Tlaxcala, Chiapas, Michoacán, Hidalgo and Morelos. The tejocote groups together more than 150 species around the world, these 93 types are in Mexico, further studies in this species are scarce. Therefore this research was the analysis of physical and chemical strains of tejocote at the Universidad Politécnica de Francisco I. Madero. The results show that the criolla variety possesses a 65.64% humidity, on the other hand the highest percentage of protein was obtained in Calpan gold variety (3.80%), for the ether extract the criolla variety has a 41.11% fiber, criolla variety was the one that obtained the highest percentage (16.71%), °Brix criolla variety presented the higher value, which present greater weight was the Chapeado variety. This results will be a contribution to the added value given to these.

The Prestige

Maduranesse women are generally considered as prestige symbol of society, family, even a man. By this reason,  they are treated as well as possible to keep the prestige stable even higher. However in some degree, the treatment seems not totally advantageous for women in the sense that they have limited access to make various important decisions for their lives especially in choosing the spouse. Maduranesse society still tend to choose arranged marriage for their daughters that the daughters don’t have significant role in making any decision related with arranged marriage, engagement, even marriadge itself. As the prestige maintainer, Maduraness female teenagers are also supposed to be in an engagement or marriadge relationship as soon as they get the first menstruation. They all are the common tradition of Maduranesse people which is also strengthened by some local wisdom well-alive in the society. In the other hand, this common ryhtm of arranged marriadge is in fact able to create a long-lasting marriage which is good for both, especially for women.
