Research Limitations:  More factors of firm heterogeneity such as firm age, industry and region were not verified. 

Practical Implications: It provides a new way for enterprises to improve innovation performance.

Contribution to Literature: The purpose of this paper is to broaden the research viewpoint on how human capital investments affect the performance of enterprise innovation from two perspectives: the nature of enterprise ownership and the size of the enterprise.

Este factor se refleja de manera frecuente se presenta en empresas familiares, lo cual se identificó a través del instrumento mencionado, causando dependencia económica de la vida familiar hacia las organizaciones, así como una carencia de formalidad jurídica que permita el crecimiento orgánico e independiente, ya sea a través de programas gubernamentales o prestamos de instituciones bancarias. Por ello, las MiPyMES de dicha región reflejan en su mayoría un seguimiento y gestión tradicional sin aplicación de recursos materiales y tecnológicos que les permitan el mejoramiento de procesos para eficientizar la calidad de sus productos y servicios ofertados, lo que trae consigo el cese en los primeros años de vida.

Se realizaron encuestas y entrevistas a turistas y ofertantes de los servicios turísticos, observación estructurada a los sitios que acogen turistas. Todo esto, bajo el uso de la técnica de análisis DAFO y un análisis empírico e inductivo sobre el destino y los criterios de turismo sostenible, abordando también la participación social y la resolución de conflictos producidos entre los requerimientos de uso y los criterios de sostenibilidad. Se concluye que, la planificación y control de la carga turística en Crucita es fundamental para garantizar un turismo sostenible y responsable en la región con medidas adecuadas para controlar el número de visitantes y proteger el medio ambiente.

Las tecnologías digitales han transformado la forma en que los estudiantes adquieren habilidades y conocimientos, brindándoles herramientas y recursos innovadores para potenciar su creatividad. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto de estas tecnologías en los estudiantes de mercadotecnia, en el desarrollo de sus competencias de diseño. Para ello; se describen las variables clave que influyen en este proceso, la adquisición de habilidades técnicas, la estimulación de la creatividad y la capacidad de adaptación al cambio. La metodología utilizada, es la revisión sistemática de literatura y de estudios previos relacionados con la temática estudiada, utilizando un enfoque cualitativo para analizar y sintetizar la información recopilada. Los resultados encontrados evidenciaron que las herramientas digitales facilitan la adquisición de habilidades técnicas, estimulan la creatividad y permitiendo una mejor adaptación al cambio, contrapuesto con esto; la dependencia excesiva de las herramientas digitales puede limitar la exploración de técnicas tradicionales y restringir la creatividad, Se concluye; que es fundamental el equilibrio del uso de tecnologías y los enfoques tradicionales del diseño, ya que permiten una formación integral los estudiantes, otorgándoles las herramientas y el conocimiento necesarios para enfrentar los desafíos actuales y futuros del la industria de la mercadotecnia, en el ámbito educativo y laboral.

Abstract Background/Objective: The aim of the study was to examine Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) performance in subjects with normal global cognition according to the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) in routine clinical practice. Methods: This was a prospective, clinical validation study in 302 consecutive subjects, referring to our dementia centre for suspected cognitive impairment over a six-month period. The MMSE and the MoCA were administered within two hours of each other. Results: 184 (60.91%) of 302 evaluated subjects with a MMSE score between 26 and 30/30 had a pathological MoCA score (< 26). 112/184 (60.84%) patients with a MMSE score between 26 and 29/30 obtained MoCA scores below the norm; 72/184 (39.13%) patients with a 30/30 MMSE had a MoCA score below the norm. Recall (p <.0001) and attention (p<.0001) were the domains that differed significantly on the two screening instruments. Conclusion: The additional use of MoCA, as a global assessment tool for the initial screening process, has allowed the identification of patients with cognitive deficit, despite their performance at MMSE had been the norm. Keywords: MoCA, MMSE, Cognitive Screening Test.

Abstract Flying plays a crucial role in establishing both tactical and strategic superiority through direct engagement, facilitating logistics movement, and providing other essential supports. However, a concerning trend has been observed regarding pilot flight time, which has decreased from approximately 300 hours per year to 230 hours per year. This decline could potentially impact flight safety and training, particularly in situations requiring rapid decision-making. One of the critical factors affecting rapid decision-making is a pilot's ability to closely monitor the aircraft's systems and flight path. The objective of this paper is to review and synthesize a series of studies that investigated the impact of peripheral gaze behavior on flying performance. Pilots can process peripheral eye gaze information more quickly and effectively, and peripheral eye movements could be used to activate controls faster than typical motor reflexes. Mathematical models of visual attention related to peripheral eye tracking have proven to be valuable predictive tools for human-machine interfaces and can lay the groundwork for improved training of pilots. Understanding gaze behavior offers valuable insights into the human-machine interface in modern cockpits. Keywords: Peripheral eye tracking, Pilot decision making, Human-machine teaming.

Abstract Background: Addictive behaviors treatment networks are composed of harm-reduction services and recovery-oriented programs. Recovery is a perspective in addictive behavior intervention based on the empowerment, competencies, and life skills of a person with addictive behaviors. Recovery-oriented programs have advanced from traditional therapeutic communities to actual integral services, which are integrated in social and health networks and developed by multidisciplinary professional staff. This evolution has not been systematic until XXIst century, with the beginning of “Science of Recovery”. Objective: to analyse the development of recovery programs, especially the theoretical models and good practices actually in development into European programs and to present the HERMESS Recovery model. Methods: This study draws on qualitative research methodology (with a complementary part of statistics), using an action research approach. It was included in the project “HOME/2014/JDRU/AG/DRUG/7092-Triple R: Rehabilitation for Recovery and Reinsertion”. Into the project, they have been analysed theoretical models and good practices about recovery. Results: As main result of the Triple R project, it was developed an intervention model based on peer learning and socioemotional development called the “Triple R HERMESS” model on rehabilitation and recovery. Conclusions: the “Science of Recovery” is advancing to validated, replicable and measurable models and programs. Recovery-oriented programs must be integrated and connected with harm reduction networks, social services, health systems, and employment services; recovery is based on empowerment and peer social support, so it´s necessary to develop structured programs for these topics; it´s also necessary to create specific actions for several collectives, as develop evaluation systems to validate efficiency and adequacy of recovery- oriented programs. As a main conclusion, the HERMESS recovery model was developed to be a reference for new recovery-oriented programs.
