SSH Key Based, Password Less Login
Authors: Eve Martin Paul
Published: October 2023

It can be very handy to be able to login to an SSH shell without supplying a password. Here's how. Firstly, on your client machine, generate a keypair. If you are using Windows you can do this using PuTTYgen. If you are on a Nix machine issue: Next up, we need to copy the public key to the server. If you are on Linux you can use scp to do this: If you are on Windows you could use sftp or similar to transfer the key across.
Expanding a treeview to a specific node in WPF

Published: October 2023

I've been exploring the dark alleyways of the Windows Presentation Foundation this week and found no way in my trawlings of the net to expand a treeview to a specific node. No FindNode, no ExpandTo or ExpandAll. Great. Anyway, here's the solution I came up with. It relies upon a binding the Tag property to the text you are searching for, but that could obviously be changed.

Who Comments, Commends, and Complains in Online Scientific Studies?
Authors: Lilleholt Lau , Böhm Robert , Zettler Ingo
Published: October 2023

Whereas research has investigated links between personality and commenting behavior on various online platforms, research testing who comments positively, neutrally, or negatively in online scientific studies is missing. Herein, we tackle this gap, considering the HEXACO personality dimensions. Relying on a COVID-19 survey (N = 8,809), we find that, as compared to their counterparts, people high in Openness to Experience comment more; that people high in Extraversion and Openness to Experience commend more; and that those high in Emotionality write both more neutral comments and fewer complaints. Notably, these relations all appear to be modest. Combined, our findings provide novel insights into the relations between personality and commenting behavior in online scientific studies, suggesting that—while people with certain personality characteristics comment more in specific ways than others—researchers need not to worry too much that the comments they receive are overly biased.

PROSES MENGISI PERMAINAN GITAR PADA KARYA MUSIK INDAH PULAU DEWATA PROJECT MAGANG DI BALI TV
Authors: Gamaliel Galih Guruh , Darmayuda I Komang , Laksmi Desak Made Suarti
Published: October 2023

Beautiful Island of the Gods is a song inspired by the beauty of the island of Bali. This song tells about the beauty, beauty, and natural beauty of Bali. Through this song the writer tries to pour out his heart and thoughts about the author's opinion on the island of Bali. The lyrics of the songs are in Indonesian as well as the choice of words and tones used are of great concern.

        The guitar playing in this song is adjusted to the effects used in order to support the message the writer wants to convey to listeners. In this song, especially the guitar solo using a blues scale, the writer wants to mix cultural and modern nuances. A touch of distortion emphasizes the dynamics and the use of the blues scale balances between firm and sweet tones which makes for a pleasant melody to listen to. As for the selection of chords used in the verse, pre chorus, and chorus, use simple chords so that they go in the same direction as the guitar solo in the interlude section.

        One of the musicians the writer has inspired is John Mayer, because some of the songs he created are major nuanced songs but his guitar solo uses a minor blues scale, one of which is a song called Gravity. This is what made the writer interested in using the blues scale in the guitar solo of the song Indah Pulau Dewata.

Authors: Musinguzi Arthur
Published: October 2023

This study aims to discuss the epidemiology of HBV infection, its management, and the challenges of hepatitis B control in China. PubMed and other resources of the national library of medicine under the national institute of health were searched. Other sources such as the British medical journal were looked at as well. The reference list of all related articles was reviewed. Retrospective and prospective cohort studies that examined the epidemiology, management  and challenges of HBV infection between from 1992 up to present. It is of great importance to challenge the issue of HBV infection head-on given its widespread occurrence, the risk it poses for severe liver conditions, its  transmission routes, the presence of detected cases, the associated stigma, its economic implications, the potential for prevention, and its global consequences. By uniting forces and  efforts focused on education, testing, and treatment, the Chinese government coupled with compliance from  the masses  can take substantial steps towards managing and eventually eradicating HBV as a public health concern.
De Novo Autoimmune Hepatitis After Liver Transplantation: Natural History and Diagnosis
Authors: Mugaanyi Joseph , Lu Changjiang , Huang Jing
Published: October 2023

De novo autoimmune hepatitis (dnAIH) refers to autoimmune hepatitis manifesting in post-liver transplant patients for whom liver transplant was performed for pathologies other than autoimmune hepatitis. dnAIH, also called plasma cell-rich hepatitis though rare, is a form of graft rejection and is one of the causes of late graft dysfunction. This paper reviews the literature on the subject, focusing on the treatment and outcomes of dnAIH in both pediatric and adult populations. Diagnosis of dnAIH relies on serological and histological examinations however dnAIH should not be ruled out in seronegative patients.

ABSTRACT:
Success in the process of implementing the six sigma methodology in companies is not always guaranteed. The aim of this research is to provide the administration of productive companies with a tool that allows them to prioritize the actions and resources to be assigned to maximize the probability of achieving the expected success in the process of implementing the six sigma methodology. The research methodology is based on the use of the method of structural equation models with partial least squares to build a linear regression model, which establishes the causal relationship between the critical success factors and the success in the implementation of the six methodology sigma. A sample of 134 companies of the export industry located in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico is analyzed. The results establish that: senior management, project management, and organizational infrastructure are the significant critical success factors; the predictive capacity of the estimated model makes it possible to reliably obtain estimates of success in this implementation process; there is no unobserved heterogeneity in the sample. This study contributes, in this region of the country, to strengthening the existing knowledge about the solution to the problem of identifying, what are the critical factors and their impact on the success variable in the implementation of the six sigma methodology?

Keywords: critical success factors, six sigma methodology, structural equation models with partial least squares
O ENSINO DE ORTODONTIA NOS CURSOS DE GRADUAÇÃO DE ODONTOLOGIA DO ESTADO DE MINAS GERAIS

Published: October 2023

O ensino de Ortodontia ao nível de graduação é de grande importância para que os alunos se formem com conhecimentos adequados para reconhecer, diagnosticar, lidar adequadamente com os problemas ortodônticos quando oportunamente e encaminhar para o especilista quando necessário. Portanto, é fundamental compreender o atual cenário de ensino deste tópico ao nível de graduação. O objetivo desse estudo é identificar e quantificar a presença da disciplina de Ortodontia na grade curricular dos cursos de Odontologia, e identificar características curriculares da mesma quando presente. Para isso, realizou-se um estudo transversal de base documental, na qual avaliou-se as matrizes curriculares de Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) de Odontologia do Estado de Minas Gerais que estavam com cursos ativos e credenciados no portal e-MEC do Ministério da Educação do Brasil. Das 86 IES do estado de Minas, 74 (86,04%) foram incluídas no estudo por preencherem os critérios de inclusão. Destas, 46 (61,3%) ofertam disciplinas de Ortodontia. Das IES que ofertam a disciplina e que disponibilizaram informações quanto à natureza e metodologia de ensino, as disciplinas se apresentaram predominantemente como obrigatórias e teórico-práticas (88,1% e 100% respectivamente). A carga horária média foi de 105,5 (±46,4) horas, sendo a mínima de 40 e a máxima de 180h. Os resultados demostram que parte dos cursos de Odontologia do estado de Minas Gerais oferecem disciplinas de Ortodontia, em sua maioria de forma obrigatória e teórico-prática. Entretanto, somente oferecer uma disciplina não garante efetivamente ensino de qualidade e, portanto, outros aspectos como denominação das disciplinas, tópicos curriculares e carga horária efetiva mínima devem ser alvo de próximos estudos, afim de fomentar discussões voltadas ao ensino de excelência.
Pengalihan Hak Atas Tagihan Atas Nama atau Cessie yang Berkepastian Hukum
Authors: Lemta Benjamin , Iryani Dewi , Aji Puguh
Published: October 2023

Debt and credit transactions are common occurrences in business activities. Often, debtors are unable or have not yet fulfilled their obligations, while creditors need immediate funds even before the due date of their receivables. In such cases, Civil Law provides a solution through the institution of "cessie," which is the Transfer of Rights to a Claim. However, the legislation governing cessie is still limited, as it is only addressed in Article 613 of the Civil Code (KUHPerdata), and even that does not comprehensively regulate the matter, leading to disputes that may escalate to court. Article 613 of the Civil Code lacks sufficient provisions for the implementation of cessie, as it only states that the transfer of cessie must be done through an authentic deed or a private document and will only be legally effective against the debtor if it has been notified to them. However, it does not specify who should make the notification, when it should be made, and how it should be done, resulting in legal uncertainty. This research adopts the Juridical Normative method, utilizing two approaches: the Statute Approach, which examines all relevant laws, and the Conceptual Approach, which involves studying legal doctrines and opinions from experts in law. The Transfer of Rights to a Claim (Cessie) transaction has not provided legal certainty for all parties involved, including the cessus (debtor), cedent (transferor), and cessionaris (transferee). This is evident from court decisions in various cases that show inconsistency in how notification is made to cessus. Whether of whether notification is sufficient when done by the cedent or the cessionaris, whether through regular mail or the Court Bailiff's writ, remains unsettled.
Re-establishment of an extinct breeding colony of Brünnich’s Guillemot Uria lomvia in West Greenland
Authors: Boertmann David
Published: October 2023

The breeding population of Brünnich’s Guillemot Uria lomvia in South and West Greenland has been decreasing for decades and some colonies have even disappeared (Merkel et al. 2014). Among these was one of the largest colonies, Salleq in Uummannaq Fjord (70°96’N 52°25’W; Figure 1), which was estimated at half a million birds in c. 1920 (Bertelsen 1921) and 150,000 birds in 1949 (Salomonsen 1950). These figures are most likely overestimations (Falk & Kampp 1997), but there is no doubt that the colony was among the largest in West Greenland. The colony then drastically decreased in size until 1975, when only 4,500 birds were counted (Falk & Kampp 1997). In 1984, there were only 150 individuals present and all were observed on the water below the cliff. In 1987, 50 birds were observed on the cliff without evidence of breeding, and the site was completely deserted by 1990 (Evans & Kampp 1991).

The same fate was recorded for Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla (hereafter ‘Kittiwakes’) and Razorbills Alca torda. The former declined from around 10,000 pairs in 1949, to 800 nests in 1975 and to zero in 1994 (F. Salomonsen unpublished; Boertmann et al. 1996). Razorbills declined from a few pairs in 1949 and 1975 to zero in 1994 (Boertmann et al. 1996). However, no population changes have been recorded for the Northern Fulmars Fulmarus glacialis which breed in huge numbers on the cliff.

The decline and extinction of the Salleq Brünnich’s Guillemot colony in the decades after the Second World War was primarily caused by excessive hunting during spring. Fleischer (1994), the former editor of a Greenlandic newspaper, described how in the 1930s it was common in spring, when sea ice still covered the waters, to camp below the Salleq cliff and hunt hundreds of Brünnich’s Guillemots in a day. This occurred every spring, and people would travel from afar to participate in this hunt. This high hunting pressure was reflected in a higher recovery rate of ringed birds from Salleq in comparison to colonies in other parts of West Greenland (Kampp 1991). Naturally, the colony could not sustain such hunting pressure across multiple decades, and eventually disappeared. Another factor impacting the Brünnich’s Guillemot populations in West Greenland was bycatch by an extensive offshore drift net fishery for Atlantic Salmon Salmo salar, which peaked around 1970 and stopped in 1976 (Falk & Durinck 1991).

Authors: Singh Rajesh K.
Published: October 2023

Background:
We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the impact of gastrectomy versus endoscopic submucosal dissection for early stomach cancer.
There are-now-a-variety-of-viewpoints-on-gastrectomy-versus-endoscopic-submucosal-dissection-for-early-stomach-cancer,-and-there-are-not-many-thorough-assessments-that-are-pertinent.
Methods:
A-systematic-literature-search-up-to-July-2022-was-performed-and-2456-related-studies-were-evaluated.-The-chosen-studies-comprised-15461-early-stomach-cancer-subjects-who-participated-in-the-selected-studies'-baseline-trials;-6503-of-them-used-the-endoscopic-submucosal-dissection, while 8958 used gastrectomy. Odds ratio (OR), and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the effect of the gastrectomy versus endoscopic submucosal dissection for early stomach cancer by the dichotomous, and contentious methods with a random or fixed effect model.
Results:
The use of endoscopic submucosal dissection resulted in significantly lower 5-year overall survivals (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.45-0.77, p<0.001), lower the 5-year overall survival in propensity score-matched patients (OR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.41-0.59, p<0.001), higher recurrences (OR, 6.99; 95% CI, 5,03-9.70, p<0.001), and higher synchronous lesion (OR, 7.24; 95% CI, 2.78-18.83, p<0.001), and higher metachronous lesion (OR,10.05; 95% CI, 6.44-15.67, p<0.001) compared to the gastrectomy for early stomach cancer.
However, no significant difference was found between submucosal dissection and gastrectomy for early stomach cancer in recurrence-free survival (OR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.54-1.00, p=0.05), disease-free survival (OR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.16-1.16, p=0.10), and disease-specific survival (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 0.38-2.89, p=0.92).
Conclusions:
The use of endoscopic submucosal dissection resulted in significantly lower 5-year overall survival, lower 5-year overall survival in propensity score-matched patients, higher recurrences, higher-synchronous lesion, and higher metachronous lesion, however, no significant difference was found in recurrence-free survival, disease-free survival, and disease-specific survival compared to the gastrectomy for early stomach cancer. The small number of studies in several comparisons calls for care when analyzing the results.
Wound complications frequency in minor technique gastrectomy compared to open gastrectomy for gastric cancer: A meta-analysis
Authors: Sundaresan Arjunan
Published: October 2023

Background:
A meta-analysis investigation was executed to measure the wound complications (WCs) frequency in minor technique gastrectomy (MTG) compared to open gastrectomy (OG) for gastric cancer (GC) .
Methods:
A comprehensive literature inspection until February 2023 was applied and 2078 interrelated investigations were reviewed. The 17 chosen investigations enclosed 12746 individuals with GC were in the chosen investigations' starting point, 3052 of them were utilizing robotic gastrectomy (RG) , 6603 of them were utilizing laparoscopic gastrectomy (LG) and 3091 were utilizing OG. Odds ratio (OR) in addition to 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to compute the value of the WCs frequency in MTG compared to OG for GC by the dichotomous approaches and a fixed or random model.
Results:
No significant difference was found in surgical site wound infection (SSWI) between RG and OG (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 0.89-2.35, p=0.13), LG and OG (OR, 0.75; 95% CI, 0.47-1.18 , p=0.21), and RG and LG (OR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.72-1.60, p=0.73) in individuals with GC .
Conclusions:
No significant difference was found in SSWI between RG , OG , and LG in individuals with GC . However, care must be exercised when dealing with its values ​​because of the low number of nominated in the meta-analysis and the low sample size of some of the nominated investigations for the meta-analysis.

Authors: Elktiri Lahoussine , Jaouhari Lhassane
Published: October 2023

Dans un contexte économique en pleine concurrence, les PME marocaines souffrent des difficultés de gestion. De ce fait, elles ont mis l’accent sur la révision de leurs stratégies afin d’améliorer leurs modes de gestion. Dans ce sens, les coûts invisibles constituent un enjeu majeur pour l'entreprise y impactant la performance. Cette amélioration touche à la fois le volet qualitatif ainsi que quantitatif. L’objectif de cet article est d’identifier les dysfonctionnements créant des coûts invisibles au sein des PME. Pour ce faire, un résumé théorique est développé afin de dresser les sources des coûts cachés. Cette synthèse théorique a permis de catégoriser les dysfonctionnements en deux parties. La première est de caractère comportemental et la deuxième de type économique. Un cadre méthodologique est développé dans ce sens, par une approche mixte visant une double finalité, d’une part, pour contextualiser les variables du modèle, d’autre part, pour confirmer les résultats de l’étude exploratoire.

Bagi pemain baru pemilihan karakter merupakan hal yang sulit ketika role yang didapatkan tidak sesuai dengan yang diinginkan karena akan mempengaruhi faktor kemenangan. Dari berbagai macam jenis game ada yang disebut sebagai game MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) pemain hanya bisa mengontrol 1 karakter. Dalam game League Of Legend : Wild Rift ada 40 lebih karakter. Masing-masing variabel pada karakter Wild-Rift mempengaruhi jalannya pertandingan penggunaan algoritma K-Modes Clustering untuk menentukan klaster. Penelitan ini menggunakan algoritma K-Modes Clustering untuk menentukan klaster berdasarkan role dari setiap karakter tanpa melihat tipe masing-masing karakter tersebut. Metode clustering dengan cara mengumpulkan data-data setiap karakter yang kemudian di proses dan dikelompokkan untuk mendapatkan data yang optimal dan menentukan karakter yg diinginkan tanpa memaksakan roleplay. Hasil dari perhitungan K-modes dievaluasi menggunakan validasi Davies Bouldin Index yang menghasilkan nilai DBI sebesar 0.8200 menunjukkan bahwa algoritma k-modes mencapai pengelompokan yang optimal. Klaster 5 merupakan klaster yang paling sering dipilih dengan karakter bertipe MarksMan.

Reticulate pigmentary disorders (RPDs) are a group of rare autosomal dominant dermatoses with a distinctive clinical net-like pattern with specific arrangements and distributions in each entity. A forty-year-old female presented with asymptomatic, light and dark, macular lesions existing for over fifteen years with perioral scars and palmer pits and her twenty-year-old daughter beginning to develop similar lesions four years earlier. Cutaneous and histopathological examinations suggested a diagnosis of Dowling–Degos disease co-existent with reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura in the mother and Dowling–Degos disease co-existent with acropigmentation of Dohi in the daughter. The co-existence of three infrequently encountered dermatoses with an irregular disease presentation within the family suggested the possibility of differing entities in the reticulate pigmentary group of disorders belonging to the diverse spectrums of the same disease.

Background: Chronic dermatoses are frequent, particularly in sub-Sahelian countries. Most are not life-threatening, yet often have a major impact on the psychological state of the patient and their social relationships, daily activities, and quality of life. Materials and Methods: For this, we conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study on patients aged fifteen or older with chronic dermatoses, followed at the Department of Dermatology and Venereology of the National Hospital of Niamey from January 1 to June 30, 2017 (for a period of six months). Results: There were a total of 127 patients. We employed the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) to measure the quality of life of the patients. The aim of our study was to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from chronic dermatoses by the use of the DLQI score. Conclusion: Chronic dermatoses are frequent in our context. They have an impact on the quality of life of the patients, as evidenced by our study. Key words: Chronic dermatoses, Quality of life, DLQI score, Niamey, Niger

ABSTRACT Objective: We conducted a systematic review of the literature from the PubMed database from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2021. The search criteria were “(pityriasis versicolor OR tinea versicolor) AND treatment,” with the full text available and the English language required. This review focuses on the clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of antifungal and non-antifungal treatment for pityriasis versicolor. Background: Pityriasis versicolor is a chronic superficial mycosis caused by the Malassezia species. The condition is one of the most common infections worldwide, particularly in tropical climates. Although it is a superficial infection, recurrences are high due to the presence of Malassezia in the normal skin flora. Summary: Topical and oral antifungal treatments effectively reduce the recurrence, leading to a lasting clinical and mycological cure. In addition to antifungal therapies, non-antifungal treatments have shown efficacy in cases of recurrent pityriasis versicolor and could be used as maintenance or preventive therapy. Due to high recurrence rates, prophylactic treatment may be necessary. Key words: Pityriasis versicolor, Superficial mycosis, Tinea versicolor, Treatment

ABSTRACT Background: The most malignant skin tumors of the head are dominated by epithelial cancers, particularly basal cell carcinomas, followed by squamous cell carcinomas and melanomas. Herein, we present a case series of malignant skin cancers in the cephalic region. We address their epidemiological, clinical, histological, and therapeutic profiles in our context. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study conducted for descriptive purposes on cases of skin cancer, including melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma, followed at the dermatology department of CHU Hassan II Fez between June 2017 and December 2021. Results: We collected a total of 260 patients with different types of skin cancer. 147 cases (57%) were in the cephalic location: 56% presented squamous cell carcinoma, followed by melanoma (22%) and basal cell carcinoma (21%). Conclusion: The early detection of skin cancer is essential to reduce the functional morbidity and mortality associated with these tumors, especially in these cephalic locations.

Allosteric cooperativity between ATP and substrates is a prominent characteristic of the cAMP-dependent catalytic (C) subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). Not only this long-range synergistic action is involved in substrate recognition and fidelity, but it is likely to regulate PKA association with regulatory subunits and other binding partners. To date, a complete understanding of the molecular determinants for this intramolecular mechanism is still lacking.Here, we used an integrated NMR-restrained molecular dynamics simulations and a Markov Model to characterize the free energy landscape and conformational transitions of the catalytic subunit of protein kinase A (PKA-C). We found that the apo-enzyme populates a broad free energy basin featuring a conformational ensemble of the active state of PKA-C (ground state) and other basins with lower populations (excited states). The first excited state corresponds to a previously characterized inactive state of PKA-C with the αC helix swinging outward. The second excited state displays a disrupted hydrophobic packing around the regulatory (R) spine, with a flipped configuration of the F100 and F102 residues at the tip of the αC-β4 loop. To experimentally validate the second excited state, we mutated F100 into alanine and used NMR spectroscopy to characterize the binding thermodynamics and structural response of ATP and a prototypical peptide substrate. While the activity of PKA-C
F100A
toward a prototypical peptide substrate is unaltered and the enzyme retains its affinity for ATP and substrate, this mutation rearranges the αC-β4 loop conformation interrupting the allosteric coupling between nucleotide and substrate. The highly conserved αC-β4 loop emerges as a pivotal element able to modulate the synergistic binding between nucleotide and substrate and may affect PKA signalosome. These results may explain how insertion mutations within this motif affect drug sensitivity in other homologous kinases.

Background

Adolescence is the critical stage of an individual’s growth and development that determines their nutritional status in the future. Adolescent overnutrition has become an increasing public health concern in developing countries like Ethiopia.

Objective

This study was designed to determine the magnitude and determinants of overnutrition among school-going adolescents in Dale District of Ethiopia.

Methods

An institution-based cross-sectional study was done between November and December 2020. A total of 333 school-going adolescents aged 10–19 years participated in this study. Socio-demographic, lifestyle, physical activity level, dietary energy intake, and height and weight data were collected. Body Mass Index for age Z-score (BAZ) was computed. Binary and multivariable logistic regression models were used to determine the association of outcome variable with explanatory variables, and results were reported using adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval.

Results

The magnitude of overnutrition was 7.2% (10.8% in the urban versus. 3.6% of rural schools). Overnutrition was positively associated with lack of sufficient play area within the school (AOR = 2.53, 95% CI [1.02–6.26]), being an urban resident (AOR = 3.05, 95% CI [1.12–8.29]), positive energy balance (AOR = 9.47, 95% CI [1.58–56.80]), consuming fast foods within a month before the survey date (AOR = 2.60, 95% CI [1.93–6.83]), having moderate (AOR = 9.28, 95% CI [6.70–71.63]) or low physical activity (PA) (AOR = 7.95, 95% CI [1.12–56.72]), and consuming snack within last one week before the survey date (AOR = 3.32, 95% CI [1.15–9.58]).

Conclusion

The magnitude of overnutrition among school-going adolescents was suboptimal. Sedentary lifestyles, excess calorie intake, having inadequate play areas within the school, and having snack and fast foods were determinants for overnutrition in the study area.

Authors:   , Ramírez Rojas Carol
Published: October 2023

Chile no cuenta con una política nacional de ordenamiento territorial, lo que ha tenido consecuencias sobre la transformación del territorio sin un proyecto país, generando múltiples conflictos sociales, ambientales y debilitación institucional. En el ámbito internacional, el desarrollo sostenible se plantea como el desafío de este milenio y el ordenamiento territorial se ha adoptado como herramienta para implementarlo, permitiendo generar una transformación del territorio de forma planificada y a largo plazo. Las preguntas que esta investigación aborda son: ¿Qué características debe tener una política pública de ordenamiento territorial en Chile? ¿Cómo se implementa esta política pública de ordenamiento territorial? El objetivo general de la investigación es proponer una política pública de ordenamiento territorial para el desarrollo sostenible de Chile. Para lo cual, la opción metodológica elegida es el estudio de casos, que considera la identificación de perspectiva comparada para la etapa de análisis y de generación de escenarios para la etapa propositiva. La investigación es de tipo exploratorio-descriptiva, que permitirá a partir de la caracterización de la experiencia de tres países, generar una propuesta para el caso de Chile. Los principales resultados de la investigación son; la identificación de los elementos constituyentes de una política pública de ordenamiento territorial y .el planteamiento de tres escenarios para el desarrollo de una Política Pública de Ordenamiento Territorial en Chile, entre los cuales una implementación gradual es la más recomendable.

El 1 de mayo de 2022 nace legalmente Enel X Way Chile como una nueva filial del grupo Enel, que surge ante la necesidad de tener una rama dedicada íntegramente a la movilidad eléctrica sostenible con foco en el desarrollo de tecnologías y soluciones de movilidad flexible y carga eléctrica para mejorar la experiencia del cliente apoyando la electrificación del transporte para consumidores, empresas y ciudades. Si bien los temas de electromovilidad los tomaba Enel X, desde hace pocos meses (y tras la creación de Enel X Way Chile) la marca no es conocida dentro de la industria, ni mucho menos por el público. Esto genera un problema de conocimiento en la opinión pública, así como de posicionamiento ante sus competidores y sustitutos. Al ser un mercado emergente y de gran potencial, el que cuenta con metas de electrificación en todos los tipos de transporte en Chile, también cuenta con un problema de anticipación y gestión de posibles crisis. Una vez identificados los puntos del árbol del problema, el marco lógico nos lleva a crear el árbol de soluciones con el que se define el objetivo para la estrategia comunicacional de la empresa y cada uno de sus planes de acción. El siguiente es el plan de acción para que la empresa potencie la relación con posibles nuevos clientes, con acción online y offline.
