Claves en la evolución de México dentro de la cadena de valor global de la industria de autopartes. El caso del Bajío
Authors: Lampón Jesús F. , Cabanelas Pablo , Delgado Guzmán José Alfredo
Published: July 2018

Antecedentes: la cadena de valor global (GVC, por sus siglas en inglés) es un enfoque muy recurrido para analizar los cambios en la geografía productiva en el sector de autopartes. Con este enfoque, determinadas regiones tienen poder de decisión en la coordinación de actividades productivas y de innovación tecnológica. Como este modelo espacial es dinámico, es posible cambiar el estatus inicial de una región dentro de la GVC. Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar las claves de la evolución de México en el sector de autopartes bajo la perspectiva de la GVC y pone el foco en el desarrollo de las empresas domésticas y en el papel de las instituciones.Metodología: se combina un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo para comparar variables clave de las empresas domésticas e instituciones de una región mexicana (el Bajío) con las de una región de España, con un estatus intermedio dentro de la GVC (región noroeste).Resultados: el grado de multinacionalización de las empresas mexicanas, entendido como la presencia de multinacionales domésticas líderes en el sector, es muy bajo comparado con el de las empresas españolas. Además, las empresas mexicanas presentan actividades con menor valor añadido y complejidad, y son mayoritariamente proveedores simples de componentes o materias primas no posicionadas en los primeros niveles de suministro de la GVC. Esto merma la innovación tecnológica y repercute en una escasa diversificación en conocimiento de la región mexicana, con competencias y capacidades comparativamente más simples.Conclusiones: la multinacionalización y la capacidad de innovación tecnológica de las empresas domésticas son clave para que México evolucione en la GVC del sector. En la medida en que las instituciones públicas mejoren el desempeño de algunas de las infraestructuras de innovación y el fomento de las políticas públicas hacia la multinacionalización y la innovación tecnológica de las empresas domésticas, se favorecerá la evolución de México dentro de la GVC del sector.
Horario de verano y consumo de electricidad: el caso de Argentina
Authors: Hancevic Pedro , Margulis Diego
Published: July 2018

Antecedentes: como estrategia encaminada a conservar la energía y reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI), se ha utilizado de manera intensiva la política de cambio de horario de verano (DST por sus siglas en inglés). En lo que respecta a Argentina, las experiencias más recientes con el horario de verano tuvieron lugar durante el periodo de verano austral de 2007-2008 y de 2008-2009, al término del cual se optó finalmente por desechar la política. Sin embargo, los beneficios que trajo el horario de verano y la proporción de los ahorros energéticos (potenciales) aún constituyen factores por considerar en el marco de la discusión en curso que se sostiene en un país donde los subsidios al consumo de energía implican una pesada carga fiscal.Metodología: por medio de la técnica de diferencia en diferencias (DID), la cual aprovecha a fondo los elementos inherentes a la naturaleza cuasiexperimental del programa implementado, empleamos datos obtenidos en intervalos de una hora para el periodo 2005-2010, ubicándonos a nivel provincial, y estimamos el impacto del DST sobre el consumo de electricidad y la demanda pico.Resultados: la aplicación del cambio de horario de verano significó un incremento del consumo total de electricidad de 0.4 a 0.6%, aunque a la vez trajo consigo un descenso a escala nacional de la demanda pico de 2.4 a 2.9%. En términos monetarios, representó costos de generación extra que ascendieron a 10.9 millonesUSD y 18 millones USD durante los veranos de 2007-2008 y 2008-2009, respectivamente. Por último, la aplicación del cambio de horario de verano provocó en dichos periodos un aumento en las emisiones de agentes contaminantes del aire.Conclusión: no deja de ser cuestionable el fundamento para la aplicación del DST. Considerados en términos del consumo energético y la demanda pico, los frutos obtenidos por esta política parecen ser de lo más dispares, al menos a juzgar por las últimas experiencias registradas en Argentina. En ese sentido, lo más razonable parece ser un estudio caso por caso, y este trabajo representa una pieza más de evidencia empírica que contribuye al debate aún abierto sobre este tema.

Published: July 2018

La evaluación de la apatía en patología neuro-psiquiátrica es muy importante en la investigación y en la práctica clínica. Muchas veces sus síntomas son sub-diagnosticados o diagnosticados como depresión y otras condiciones. La presente revisión aborda las escalas más utilizadas las últimas décadas para la valoración de apatía y ofrece recomendaciones y apreciaciones generales sobre su uso y utilidad basada en la bibliografía disponible. Al margen de las diferencias entre escalas la tarea de estandarizar el diagnóstico de apatía en la práctica clínica y la investigación nacionales una necesidad que no debe postergarse al contar con herramientas suficientes y adecuadas a la fecha que han evolucionado desde la definición de Marin hasta la escala Dimensional Apathy Scale (DAS). Se sugiere estudios que validen y adapten culturalmente estas herramientas a nuestro entorno poblacional y pongan en práctica la medición cuantitativa de la apatía en la consulta clínica.
Una complicación quirúrgica escasamente sospechada: la disfunción cognitiva postoperatoria
Authors: Lira David , Mar-Meza Marcela , Montesinos Rosa , Herrera-Pérez Eder , Cuenca José , Castro-Suárez Sheila , Custodio Nilton
Published: July 2018

Numerosas enfermedades requieren como tratamiento una cirugía, ya sea de emergencia o electiva. Las cirugías pueden tener diversas complicaciones; sin embargo no se consideran las posibles alteraciones cognitivas postoperatorias: delirio del despertar anestésico, delirio postoperatorio y disfunción cognitiva postoperatoria (DCPO). La DCPO es un síndrome clínico caracterizado por alteraciones en la memoria, concentración, atención, comprensión del lenguaje e integración social posterior al uso de anestesia y cirugía que persiste después de tres meses; aunque algunos reportes consideran que no sería una entidad clínica individual. Su incidencia varía del 5,1 al 52,5% dependiendo de la población estudiada, tipo de cirugía, tiempo de la evaluación desde la cirugía y batería neuropsicológica empleada. Los factores de riesgo para DCPO son: edad avanzada, deterioro cognitivo previo, gravedad de enfermedades coexistentes, severidad de la cirugía, duración y tipo de la anestesia, ocurrencia de complicaciones y nivel educativo; siendo imprescindible la realización de una evaluación neuropsicológica antes y después de la cirugía para su diagnóstico. Los mecanismos etiopatogénicos propuestos son: la edad, cambios en la perfusión cerebral, disturbios del sueño, inflamación, efectos de los agentes anestésicos, y fundamentalmente la neuroinflamación. La DCPO es una entidad frecuente y escasamente sospechada, aunque su diagnóstico es controversial. Se sugiere que los pacientes que serán sometidos a cirugías electivas mayores, en especial las cardiacas y cerebrales, sean sometidos a evaluación neuropsicológica previa y a los 3 meses, así como a monitoreo electroencefalográfico intraoperatorio para disminuir la incidencia de DCPO.
Desigualdad (Re)considerada Peru 1997-2015
Authors: Cruz Saco María Amparo , Seminario Bruno , Campos Cynthia
Published: July 2018

De acuerdo al Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática y al Banco Mundial, la desigualdad en el Perú descendió en el periodo 1997-2015. Este resultado, sin embargo, acusa un error de medición debido a que las encuestas de hogares excluyen los ingresos de los hogares ricos. Utilizamos el método de Lakner & Milanovic (2013) para corregir el sesgo de medición y construimos nuevas series del coeficiente Gini del ingreso y del gasto en el mismo periodo. Concluimos que la desigualdad no es sólo más elevada sino persistente. Las colas de la distribución han mejorado relativamente su participación en la distribución del ingreso, mientras que los grupos del medio han comprimido su participación.

Authors: Waweru Jackson Njau , Waweru Kennedy M. Waweru M. , Wanjau Kenneth L. , Kinyanjui Josphat K.
Published: July 2018

Globally, small and medium-size enterprises(SMEs) hold great economic growth potential, however their mortality rate is high, due to lack of credit. The SMEs mortality rate in Kenya is 90% by the second year. Scholarly endeavors to explore the influence of alternative finance (AF) on operational characteristics - efficiency nexus have received little attention, more so for SMEs who have unique financial needs. Although AF appears to be the preferred mode of financing and maintaining start-ups, its impact on the survival, growth and success of manufacturing SMEs is not well documented in Kenya.  This study focused on establishing the influence of alternative financing on the relationship between firm-size and efficiency of SMEs in Kenya. The study used a cross-sectional research design. The target population was SMEs registered with Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM). The accessible population was 136 SMEs owner/managers. The study used a self-administered semi structured questionnaire to collect primary and secondary data. Data envelopment analysis was used to measure efficiency of SMEs, multiple regression modeling to analyze relationships and hierarchical moderated multiple regression analysis was used to assess the influence of the moderator. The findings revealed that firm-size positively (β = 0.214, t-value =4.983, P<0.05.) influences efficiency and that alternative finance does moderate (R-Square change 11.1 %) firm size relationships with efficiency. The study recommends that owner/managers of manufacturing SMEs in Kenya should give attention to opportunities for sustainable increase in firm size to improve their efficiency.

Banks’ profitability determinants in post-crisis European Union
Authors: Korytowski Marcin
Published: July 2018

The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of selected internal and external factors on a bank’s profitability. The research investigates the impact of operational size, liquidity, risk appetite, management efficiency, product diversification, concentration, GDP growth and inflation change on the profitability of sample of 4179 European commercial banks for the period between 2011 and 2015. The input data were obtained from the Orbis Focus and the World Bank databases. The determinants were used to construct two models with ROAA and ROAE as a proxies and regression analysis using between groups panel approach was conducted. It has been found that growing economy impacts banks’ profitability positively. The liquidity has been found to impact profitability positively, but statistically significant results were obtained only with the ROAA model. It has been robustly confirmed that management efficiency, product diversification, market concentration and inflation result in decreased profitability. The operational size has been found to be negatively linked to changes in net results but was confirmed only with ROAA model. Similarly, statistically significant results with regard to liquidity were found only for ROAA model and the correlation was positive. The strong negative impact of market concentration on profitability is an interesting finding allowing for further exploration of reasons for this unexpected vector of correlation.

Published: July 2018

Worldwide, Small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) exhibit inimitable financial needs. While SMEs remain fundamental to economic growth, their mortality rate in Kenya approaches 90% by the second year, mainly owing to lack of credit. However, scholarly endeavors exploring the impact of alternative finance (AF) on managerial competency - efficiency nexus for manufacturing SMEs have received little attention in Kenya. To resolve this conundrum, a thorough study to investigate how AF impacts managerial competency - efficiency nexus is necessary. The study used a cross-sectional research design, employing both qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The target population was 171 SMEs registered with Kenya Association of Manufacturers. The accessible population was 136 SMEs owners/managers. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect primary and secondary data. Data envelopment analysis was used to measure efficiency, multiple regression modeling used to analyze the direct relationships while hierarchical moderated multiple regression analysis employed to test moderation. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling was used to test robustness of our results. The findings of this study demonstrate that managerial competency positively influences efficiency (β = 0.150, t-value =10.246, P<0.05), and that alternative finance does moderate managerial competency relationships with efficiency (R-Square change of 21.7%).We suggest trainings for manufacturing SME owners/managers in Kenya on the pivotal role of alternative finance to facilitate SMEs achieve higher efficiencies and accelerate economic growth.

Published: July 2018

The success of SMEs is determined by the business capital and able to give value added to the business more productively. Various financing pattern schemes for SMEs have been provided in various regions and all economic sectors. However, the development of SMEs credit is still concentrated in several regions in Indonesia this can lead to inequality in the growth of SMEs. This study aims to analyze the convergence of absolute beta and conditional beta in the Provinces in Indonesia and calculate the half-time or time required to achieve steady-state conditions of the SME credit convergence process. Convergence test used is beta conditional convergence and absolute convergence with the monthly time period during 2017.1 until 2017.7. The determinant of SMEs convergence of credit in Indonesia is a number of third-party funds. The model used is dynamic panel data regression and the estimation method used is Arellano-Bond Generalized Method of Moment (AB-GMM).

The results of the study show that during the study period, there has been a convergence credit process in Indonesia for both absolute and conditional convergence models. The conditional beta-convergence model provides a smaller beta value than the absolute model. The speed of credit growth convergence between provinces in Indonesia with half-time of 6,94 months for the absolute model and the half-time of 6,96 months for the conditional model.

The Hidden Variables Theory
Authors: Fried Israel
Published: July 2018

The book presents a new conception on several physics topics. The initial values are non-relativistic quantities of subatomic particles which the values obtained in experiments are actually their relativistic reflection. The subjects in the book are presented in such order that each new topic is based on the development of its predecessor that explains where it stems from. The book presents methods of analyzing traditional physics concepts to extract hidden embedded information that reveals new variables which are combined with those known. The new formulas yield instant results that match experiments accurately. It presents discoveries like: The origin of electric charge of subatomic particle stem from its OAM. The electron's zero OAM at ground state, which is interpreted as the OAM is not necessarily a motion related is explained by the Schrödinger's Quantum Numbers obtained differently then solving the wave function! The electron's mass is expressing the square of its magnetic flux quantum. The proton, neutron and all baryons consist of three energy levels on which the quarks are orbiting. The third energy level of 80.5 GEV plays a major role at the weak decaying force while it host charged mesons that are emitted out thru a W boson that acquires the level's energy. Baryons beyond the proton and neutron are a composition of a down and up quarks at the first and second energy levels, plus quarks in a bound state composition of charged bosons positioned at their third energy level, hence bypassing the Pauli Exclusion Principle restriction. The OAM of the orbiting quarks are a third or two thirds of the reduced Planck constant. The proton's missing spin stems from the contributions of the quark's OAM. The Electron is a bound state composition of negative Pi meson and electron's neutrino. Electrons in confined space are going through a process named "spin-charge separation", validated by an experiment conducted at Cambridge and Birmingham universities.

Tubular Water Quench (TWQ) is commonly used process to make Polypropylene based films (TQPP). This process has been tried for the first time to make Polyethylene films (TQPE) from HDPE-LLDPE blend. Polyethylene inculcates the inherent materialistic property of softness and better feel to the film. The key requirement for TWQ films are Openability and transparency. This paper focuses on novel developmental work done, using Polyethylene blend for making TQPE film, comparing it’s optical and mechanical properties with TQPP films.
InSAR Baseline Estimation for Gaofen-3 Real-Time DEM Generation
Authors: Lu Huan , Suo Zhiyong , Li Zhenfang , Xie Jinwei , Zhang Qingjun
Published: July 2018

For Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), the normal baseline is one of the main factors that affect the accuracy of the ground elevation. For Gaofen-3 (GF-3) InSAR processing, the poor accuracy of the real-time orbit determination resulting in a large baseline error, leads to the modulation error in azimuth and the slope error in range for timely Digital Elevation Model (DEM) generation. In order to address this problem, a baseline estimation method based on external DEM is proposed in this paper. Firstly, according to the characteristic of the real-time orbit of GF-3 images, orbit fitting is executed to remove the non-linear error factor. Secondly, the height errors are obtained in slant-range plane between Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) DEM and the GF-3 generated DEM after orbit fitting. At the same time, the height errors are used to estimate the baseline error which has a linear variation. In this way, the orbit error can be calibrated by the estimated baseline error. Finally, DEM generation is performed by using the modified baseline and orbit. This procedure is implemented iteratively to achieve a higher accuracy DEM. Based on the results of GF-3 interferometric SAR data for Hebei, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified and the accuracy of GF-3 real-time DEM products can be improved extensively.

Published: July 2018

To remove sulfur-containing compounds (SCC) from the diesel fraction 200-360 °C extraction systems have been created based on coordinating organic solvents - dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide and chlorides (CoCl2, CuCl2, CdCl2, MnCl2 and CrCl3) and metal trifluoroacetates (Co (TFA)2, Cu(TFA)2 and Mn(TFA)2). Using PMR spectroscopy the coordination of chloride and metal trifluoroacetate on the oxygen atom in the carbonyl group of DMFA was shown to redistribute electron density in the solvent molecule and to enhance properties of the acceptor center localized on the nitrogen atom. The removal of sulfur-containing compounds from the diesel fraction proceeded under mild conditions - at the temperature of 25 °C and atmospheric pressure. The degree of SCC removal from the diesel fraction in 30 minutes extraction was more than 90%. The interaction of organic solvents with metal salts and sulfur-containing compounds of the diesel fraction was considered within the framework of the concept of "hard and soft acids and bases" (HSAB). The most complete SCC extraction was carried out by "DMFA - Mn(TFA)2, MnCl2 and CrCl3 systems, that was probably connected with the implementation of the" hard base - hard acid "system.

Published: July 2018

This paper presents a system that merges computer vision and surface electromyography techniques to carry out grasping tasks. To perform this, the vision-driven system is used to compute pre-grasping poses of the robotic system based on the analysis of tridimensional object features. Then, the human operator can correct the pre-grasping pose of the robot using surface electromyographic signals from the forearm during wrist flexion and extension. Weak wrist flexions and extensions allow a fine adjustment of the robotic system to grasp the object and finally, when the operator considers that the grasping position is optimal, a strong flexion is performed to initiate the grasping of the object. The system has been tested with several subjects to check its performance showing a grasping accuracy of around 95% of the attempted grasps which increases by around a 9% the grasping accuracy of previous experiments in which electromyographic control was not implemented.
Cultural Routes in Kynouria of Arcadia: Geospatial Database Design and Software Development for Web Mapping of the Spatio-Historical Information

Published: July 2018

On the occasion of Kynouria and in order to achieve the protection and projection of antiquities, a web-based model is proposed for highlighting individual monuments and archaeological sites, having in mind the historical and archaeological evidence of the region, the topography, the demographic profile and the tourist infrastructure, and combining them with the development programs for cultural routes. Therefore, creating suitable databases and mapping the monuments in the area are key prerequisites of the process, as they contribute to an objective assessment of the current situation and then to make rational decisions. In this frame, modern technology provides some important planning tools (GIS, GPS, and OMS) which allow recording and mapping of data, viewing the relationships between them in the area where they appear and managing their projection. The complete study of Kynouria’s archaeological routes contains the implementation of a website using free or open-source software, which should include all the necessary procedures and the historical and archaeological information material (text, maps, and photographs).
