Los promedios entre edades al análisis de varianza, muestra diferencia altamente significativa.

How did Late Antiquity’s societies articulate their identities? This dissertation is a study of the construction of textual identities, as revealed by an analysis of Origen’s Paulinism which aimed to construct Christian identity in the third century CE. I have chosen extracts from Origen’s exegesis of Paul, found primarily in one text, his Commentary on Romans, as resources for my examination of identity issues. This text is an extremely helpful example of a deliberate fashioning of Christian identity through Origen’s joint use of Hellenistic paideia and the Bible. Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of habitus provides a helpful lens in decoding Origen’s and Hellenistic texts. Using habitus, the focus is on the rhetoric of identity formation through the fabric of the cultural, social, political, ideological, and literary contexts of Origen’s world. The study is more descriptive than polemical. The Greek paideia provides an immediate background to Late Antiquity’s concept of identity formation. The extant literature of the period comprised the fundamental vehicles of self–definition. This concept of fashioning identity through the construction of texts presents numerous difficulties for the contemporary reader. I will show that Origen used Greco–Roman moral philosophy and rhetoric in interpreting Paul. In seeking Origen’s notion of Christian identity, Origen’s reading of Romans is shaped by strategies of self–scrutiny and self–formation. Although Origen modifies the Greco–Roman moral philosophies—such as the notion of self–control, transformational narratives, and rhetoric deployment in his exegesis—much of the shared cultural and literary background remains. Using the Hellenistic nuances of self–control and rhetoric, Origen shows his audience a distinct picture of what a transformed, mature believer should look like, the humanitas. The transformation that a believer underwent resulted in a new or intensified form of piety with consequent changes in social affiliations, relations and loyalties. He also uses different descriptions —“new man,” “inner man” and “perfect”—to identify the mature transformed believers. This believer is the humanitas, the much sought after identity, with the milieu of the third century C.E. He attempted to create a body of knowledge and to utilize it for the preparation of a strong Christian identity in the midst of the pressures and temptations of the hegemonic Roman Empire and the pervasive Greco–Roman culture. Along with the paideia, the Roman Empire nurtured and challenged Origen’s Paulinism. The Roman Empire did not require individuals, or even communities, to adopt for themselves a distinctly Roman identity to the exclusion of all others. Yet, everyone was required to worship the genus of the Emperor. The Roman identity transformed the Greek–barbarian dichotomy into an imperial ideology which claimed Roman supremacy over all other cultures and people. This usurpation of other societies by the Romans is an inverted mirror image of Origen’s usurpation of Rome’s Romanitas or humanitas through his Paulinism. Thus, he is to be seen constructing identity through shared forms of symbolic and linguistic construction which were readily available within his socio–political reality. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Church and Dogma History))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Los servicios de extensionismo tecnológico son una oportunidad para fortalecer las cadenas productivas con denominación de origen, debido a que permiten implementar mejoras en el proceso productivo. En ese contexto, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo principal analizar el rol de los servicios de extensionismo tecnológico, a partir del caso del CITEagroindustrial, en el fortalecimiento de la cadena productiva del pisco del periodo 2013 al 2015, en el marco de la declaración de la denominación de origen pisco. Asimismo, la investigación tiene tres objetivos secundarios: identificar la relación entre la denominación de origen y cadenas productivas, y los servicios de extensionismo tecnológico que requiere este tipo de cadena productiva; describir el contexto durante el periodo 2013- 2015 de la cadena productiva del pisco, enfatizando en la declaración de la denominación de origen pisco, eslabones de la cadena y servicios de extensionismo desarrollados entorno a ella; y, finalmente, analizar el rol que desempeña el CITEagroindustrial en el fortalecimiento de la cadena productiva del pisco a partir del análisis de la gestión de la denominación de origen pisco y los parámetros de diseño de los servicios de extensionismo tecnológico del CITEagroindustrial en el periodo 2013- 2015. La metodología de investigación utilizada se basa en un estudio de caso, cuya unidad de análisis son los servicios de extensionismo tecnológico prestados por el CITEagroindustrial, relacionados con la cadena productiva del pisco. De esta manera, se seleccionó dos variables de análisis: parámetros de diseño de servicios de extensionismo tecnológico y variables en la gestión de la denominación de origen pisco. Los principales instrumentos de recojo de información son entrevistas semi-estructuradas a especialistas en temas de cadena productiva del pisco, servicios de extensionismo tecnológico y Denominación de Origen Pisco, así como a funcionarios del CITEagroindustrial. Asimismo, la utilización de un cuestionario dirigido a las empresas productoras de pisco, clientes del CITEagroindustrial. Finalmente, se tuvo acceso a documentos propios del CITEagroindustrial y otros de interés a fin de completar el análisis. / Tesis

Magíster en Estrategia Internacional y Política Comercial / No autorizada por el autor para ser publicada a texto completo / Una de las ganancias más claras entre países que suscriben un Acuerdo Comercial es el acceso de bienes con tratamiento preferencial, pero para beneficiarse de ellas existe una condicionante que son las normas de origen. Si estas normas de origen no se cumplen, entonces no hay acceso al trato preferencial. En ese contexto, este estudio trata el problema del cumplimiento de la norma de origen establecidas en los Acuerdos Comerciales que ha firmado Chile con seis países, focalizándose en las normas de origen aplicadas a los muebles de madera. Para ello, se realiza un análisis descriptivo, relacionando las condiciones de acceso preferencial que se da con estos países, las características de la regla de origen, la evolución de las exportaciones de Chile y algunos factores que influyen en los flujos de comercio. Con tres de los seis países, Perú, Colombia y Ecuador, las exportaciones de muebles de madera evolucionaron positivamente con los años y, en ellos, la regla de origen establecida para los muebles se considera que no desfavoreció el flujo comercial, la cual fue identificada como una regla poco restrictiva, correspondiendo al modelo ALADI. Con Argentina, donde las exportaciones chilenas de muebles fueron disminuyendo en el tiempo, la regla de origen pudo jugar un rol negativo, considerando que el tipo de norma existente en ese acuerdo fue identificada como una más restrictiva. Con México y Panamá, la relación es poco clara, ya que la evolución de las exportaciones se contrapone con la existencia de una regla muy restrictiva en el primer país, y una poco restrictiva, en el segundo. / One of clearest profits among countries that arrange a trade agreement is the market access of goods with preferential treatment, but in order to get benefits from them there is a condition that are the rules of origin. If these rules of origin are not fulfilled, then there is no access to the preferential treatment. In that context, this study deals with the problem of accomplishment of the rules of origin stated in the trade agreements that Chile has signed with six countries, focusing on rules of origin applied to the wooden furniture. To do this, a descriptive analysis is carried out relating the preferential access condition between Chile and these countries, the characteristics of the rule of origin, the evolution of the Chilean exports and some factors that influence on the commercial flows. With three of the six countries, Peru, Colombia and Ecuador, the exportations of the wooden furniture evolved positively through the years and, in them, the rules of origin established for the furniture is considered it did not disfavored the commercial flow, which was identified as a little restrictive rule, corresponding to the model ALADI. With Argentina, where Chilean exports of furniture were decreasing trough time, the rule of origin could play a negative role, considering that the kind of existing rule in that agreement was identified as a more restrictive one. With Mexico and Panama, the relation is not very clear, since the evolution of exportations is opposed against the existence of a very restrictive rule in the first country and a little restrictive rule in the second one.
