We want to celebrate not only the impressive growth of its academic program in recent years, which has had the participation of authors of extraordinary international relevance such as Literature Nobel prize recipients Svetlana Alexievich, Mario Vargas Llosa, and J.G.M. Le Clezio, but also the development of its international relevance such as Literature and, especially, our new Hall of Rights, a meeting place for agents, editors, and scouts interested in the Spanish-speaking publishing market. This catalog is a window to contemporary Colombian publishing. Throughout its pages you will find a series of recently published books of fiction, nonfiction, and children’s literature, all of which have their rights available for sale. The books shown in this catalog have been hand picked by Colombian publishers, with the aim of showcasing the best of their production. We are sure that here you will find something interesting as well in here you will find something that suits your interests. At the International Frankfurt Book Fair we not only celebrate the creation of the FILBo Hall of Rights as a new standard for the exchanging of rights during the first semester of the year in Latin America; we also want to showcase Bogotá as a literary and tourist destination: a city of books.

  • Detection of Sociolinguistic Features in Digital Social Networks for the Detection of Communities
    Cognitive Computation https://doi.org/10.1007/s12559-021-09818-9 Detection of Sociolinguistic Features in Digital Social Networks for the Detection of Communities Edwin Puertas1,2 · Luis Gabriel Moreno‑Sandoval2 · Javier Redondo3 · Jorge Andres Alvarado‑Valencia2 · Alexandra Pomares‑Quimbaya2 Received: 13 March 2020 / Accepted: 5 January 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC part of Springer Nature 2021 Abstract The emergence of digital social networks has transformed society, social groups, and institutions in terms of the communi- cation and expression of their opinions. Determining how language variations allow the detection of communities, together with the relevance of specifc vocabulary (proposed by the National Council of Accreditation of Colombia (Consejo Nacional de Acreditación - CNA) to determine the quality evaluation parameters for universities in Colombia) in digital assemblages could lead to a better understanding of their dynamics and social foundations, thus resulting in better communication policies and intervention where necessary. The approach presented in this paper intends to determine what are the semantic spaces (sociolinguistic features) shared by social groups in digital social networks. It includes fve layers based on Design Science Research, which are integrated with Natural Language Processing techniques (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), and Artifcial Intelligence (AI). The approach is validated through a case study wherein the semantic values of a series of “Twit- ter” institutional accounts belonging to Colombian Universities are analyzed in terms of the 12 quality factors established by CNA. In addition, the topics and the sociolect used by diferent actors in the university communities are also analyzed. The current approach allows determining the sociolinguistic features of social groups in digital social networks.

Kevin invites you to visit his personal website at www.kcahillstudios.com. ii AEA Code of Professional Conduct Adopted April 20, 2018 The American Economic Association holds that principles of professional conduct should guide economists in academia, government, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector. The AEA’s founding purpose of “the encouragement of economic research” requires intellectual and professional integrity. Integrity demands honesty, care, and transparency in conducting and presenting research; disinterested assessment of ideas; acknowledgement of limits of expertise; and disclosure of real and perceived conflicts of interest. The AEA encourages the “perfect freedom of economic discussion.” This goal requires an environment where all can freely participate and where each idea is considered on its own merits. Economists have a professional obligation to conduct civil and respectful discourse in all forums, including those that allow confidential or anonymous participation.
