Flowering, Drought and Disease Tolerance, and Landscape Performance of Landscape Roses Grown under Low-input Conditions in North Central Texas
Authors: Harp Derald , Hammond Gaye , Zlesak David C. , Church Greg , Chamblee Mark , George Steve
Published: April 2019

Landscaping today involves the struggle to balance aesthetically pleasing plants while minimizing the impact on the environment, reducing water usage, decreasing fertilizer use, and eliminating or significantly reducing pesticide usage. Roses (Rosa sp.), although seen as challenging plants, remain the most popular flowering shrub in the United States. The identification of new cultivars that combine beauty, pest and disease resistance, and drought tolerance are important to Texas landscapes. Sixty roses were assessed over a 3-year period to determine flowering, drought tolerance, disease resistance, and overall landscape performance in minimal-input gardens in north central Texas. Atypical weather during the study had a significant impact on performance. A 2-year drought (2010–11) was accompanied by the hottest summer on record (2011), which included a record number of days of at least 100 °F or higher. As a result, supplemental irrigation was provided three times both summers. Roses generally fared well under these conditions and survived the drought. Flowering was most abundant during the spring and fall, and it was least abundant in the summer. Powdery mildew [PM (Sphaerotheca pannosa var. rosae)] was a minor problem. Nine of 60 cultivars developed no visible symptoms of PM during the study. Most PM occurred in Spring 2010, with very little found after June; none was found in 2011. Black spot [BS (Diplocarpon rosae)] was serious for some cultivars, but most were BS-free; RADrazz (Knock Out®) and Lady Banks White had no observed BS during the study. BS occurred mostly in May, June, and November. Overall landscape performance ratings were high, with 23 cultivars having a mean landscape performance rating equal to or better than the Belinda’s Dream standard. The best-performing cultivars were RADrazz (Knock Out), RADcon (Pink Knock Out®), RADyod (Blushing Knock Out®), WEKcisbaco (Home Run®), and Alister Stella Gray. This study was able to identify many other highly performing roses in north central Texas.

Determinismo e Voluntarismo na Adaptação Estratégica: O Caso de uma Cooperativa Médica
Authors: Zaluski Felipe Cavalheiro , Sausen Jorge Oneide
Published: April 2019

O processo de adaptação estratégica sob o contexto de mudanças é enfatizado por Hrebiniak e Joyce (1985) a partir do determinismo e do voluntarismo. Nesse sentido, a visão determinista vê o ambiente externo como elemento principal na definição das estratégias organizacionais, já visão do voluntarismo, ou de escolha estratégica, verifica nas organizações a capacidade de manipular o ambiente. O presente estudo analisa as influências do determinismo e voluntarismo no processo de adaptação estratégica de uma cooperativa médica do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul segundo o modelo de tipologia de adaptação estratégica de Hrebiniak e Joyce (1985). O método utilizado foi o estudo de caso longitudinal, utilizando os métodos da Direct Research (MINTZBERG; MCHUGH, 1985), com abordagem qualitativa e descritiva. Os resultados mostram que a capacidade de escolha estratégica foi um fator predominante nas decisões estratégicas definidas pela coalisão dominante da Cooperativa Alpha, contudo, o determinismo ambiental também foi evidenciado neste processo, ou seja, a cooperativa adaptou-se exercendo alta capacidade de escolhas estratégicas mesmo com momentos de influências oriundas do ambiente.

Authors: Callado Antônio André Cunha , Callado Fábia Michelle Rodrigues de Araújo
Published: April 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o processo de construção de indicadores de desempenho operacional no âmbito de um Hospital especializado em Hematologia a partir de uma abordagem construtivista. Esta pesquisa possui características inerentes de uma pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, qualitativa e de estudo de caso. Para a coleta das informações foram consideradas duas técnicas complementares: pesquisa documental e entrevistas. A técnica de análise foi a análise do discurso. A partir dos resultados obtidos, foi possível identificar as distintas etapas do processo, bem como os seus instantes mais críticos, sugerindo que uma abordagem construtivista permite a participação dos profissionais que lidam com as operações na elaboração dos indicadores, embora o grau de complexidade das unidades organizacionais possa interferir neste processo.
Gestão de Custos em Pequeno Hospital Filantrópico: uma Pesquisa Intervencionista
Authors: Wernke Rodney
Published: April 2019

Objetivou elaborar uma planilha para avaliar e gerenciar os gastos e resultados dos setores de um hospital filantrópico de pequeno porte. Para tanto, foi utilizada metodologia de cunho empírico, com abordagem qualitativa de intervenção. Como resultados da pesquisa cabe citar que esta proporcionou: a identificação de custos que anteriormente não eram considerados pela administração do hospital na avaliação do resultado e a alocação dos gastos mensais aos diversos setores assistenciais e de apoio. Ainda, propiciou melhorias na mensuração dos resultados dos setores com faturamento próprio e o aprimoramento da avaliação do resultado do período considerando os valores de receitas, custos e despesas. Desse modo, o estudo contribuiu no sentido de mostrar que é possível utilizar metodologia de custeamento em organizações hospitalares de pequeno porte de forma economicamente viável. Isso contradiz diversas menções na literatura sobre a necessidade gastos elevados para implementar e operacionalizar um método de custeio, especialmente quanto aos dispêndios requeridos com pessoal, equipamentos, software específico, coleta e processamento de dados etc.

Authors: Prieto Marina de Freitas , Guerra Mariana
Published: April 2019

A avaliação como componente da gestão em saúde tem hoje um reconhecimento que se traduz na existência de múltiplas iniciativas voltadas para a consolidação e aprimoramento do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) no Brasil. Com o objetivo de avaliar a eficiência na Atenção Primária em Saúde nos municípios brasileiros, além de averiguar possíveis disparidades regionais, de fatores socioeconômicos e de características do sistema de saúde foi utilizada a metodologia proposta por Varela, Martins e Fávero (2012). Utilizou-se, portanto, análise envoltória de dados e regressão multivariada, para analisar os municípios brasileiros, entes responsáveis pela subfunção atenção básica à saúde. A população composta inicialmente era de 5.560, sendo excluídos os municípios com informações ausentes ou inconsistentes para as bases de dados utilizadas, quais sejam: o Sistema de Informações Ambulatoriais, o Sistema de Informações da Atenção Básica e o Sistema de Informações sobre Orçamentos Públicos em Saúde (SIOPS). Os resultados validam a metodologia utilizada e confirmam que as variáveis densidade populacional e número de habitantes idosos determinam a eficiência no gasto municipal com APS no Brasil.

Published: April 2019

A padronização é uma ferramenta administrativa de auxílio na seleção de marcas mais adequadas para futura aquisição e uso numa organização. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever o processo de qualificação de marcas de materiais médico-hospitalares para aquisições futuras pelo Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA). Para isso, os pesquisadores se orientaram em responder à pergunta de como é realizado o processo de qualificação de marcas de materiais médico-hospitalares no INCA? Utilizando-se da metodologia de estudo de caso único proposto por Yin (2015) como estratégia de pesquisa num estudo empírico cujas fontes de evidências utilizadas foram: a observação, o levantamento documental e a entrevista aberta. A partir dessas fontes de evidências conclui-se que o processo de padronização de marcas nessa instituição de saúde pública é uma etapa essencial no fluxo do processo de forma a garantir o abastecimento de insumos qualificados, a realização dos procedimentos médicos e a segurança dos pacientes, otimizando-se o tempo do ciclo de compras e aquisições no processo de suprimentos de materiais.

Foliated fracton order from gauging subsystem symmetries
Authors: Shirley Wilbur , Slagle Kevin , Chen Xie
Published: April 2019

Based on several previous examples, we summarize explicitly the
general procedure to gauge models with subsystem symmetries, which are
symmetries with generators that have support within a sub-manifold of
the system. The gauging process can be applied to any local quantum
model on a lattice that is invariant under the subsystem symmetry. We
focus primarily on simple 3D paramagnetic states with planar symmetries.
For these systems, the gauged theory may exhibit foliated fracton order
and we find that the species of symmetry charges in the paramagnet
directly determine the resulting foliated fracton order. Moreover, we
find that gauging linear subsystem symmetries in 2D or 3D models results
in a self-duality similar to gauging global symmetries in 1D.

Los agentes narrativos involucrados en el proceso investigativo configuran y refiguran su vida en el acto de narrarse. El texto se desarrolla en tres momentos: la racionalidad narrativa en la investigación científica; su aplicación en el espectro de los fenómenos sociales, el mundo de la vida y la vida misma; y su desarrollo en procesos de investigación-formación.
Studies on the reaction mechanism of Cu/SiC catalytic oxidation for degradation of methyl orange in presence of microwave
Authors: Xia Guotong , Sun Jie , Yang Wenjin , Wu Gao-Lin , Shen Weibo
Published: April 2019

The removal of methyl orange (MO) in a copper-loaded silicon carbide (Cu/SiC) system under microwave (MW) irradiation was studied. Cu/SiC was synthesized by employing an impregnation method and the effects of parameters such as reaction time, catalyst dosage, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) dosage, microwave power and pH on the rate of degradation of MO were also studied. The obtained results showed that almost complete degradation was obtained in the presence of Cu/SiC catalyst within 8 min of irradiation when 100 mL of MO solution (20 mg/L), 3 ml/L of H2O2, 2 g/L of catalyst dose, 600 W of MW power, and pH 7 were applied. The Cu-bearing catalyst with H2O2 formed a Fenton-like system and the rate of generation of hydroxyl radicals (·OH) was also accelerated by subjecting to MW. From the kinetic analysis, it is revealed that the degradation of MO using the MW-Cu/SiC-H2O2 system follows the pseudo-first-order.

Authors: Rodríguez Felipe de Jesús , Moctezuma Pérez Sergio , Thomé Ortiz Humberto
Published: April 2019

El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar las experiencias de migrantes retornados en Tejupilco, Estado de México. Se utiliza como eje teórico y metodológico la epojé fenomenológica, aplicada a diez individuos que migraron a Estados Unidos y que por diferentes razones regresaron a México (agosto-noviembre de 2017). De esta forma, se parte de la premisa de que es necesario profundizar en la experiencia migratoria más allá del conocimiento pragmático establecido y fundamentar las experiencias de los individuos de manera fáctica. Los resultados muestran que existe una necesidad en las ciencias sociales por apreciar de manera fenomenológica el tema migratorio. Se demuestra la existencia de una identidad migratoria de naturaleza dinámica que no depende de definiciones macrosociales sino de la actividad que realiza el sujeto como capacidad de ser actor social. Asimismo, denota la manera en que los migrantes asimilan el significado de la experiencia, fuente del sentido trascendental que representa actualmente su estilo de vida.

Authors: Clemente Miguel P. , Moreira André , Mendes Joaquim , Ferreira Afonso P. , Amarante José M.
Published: April 2019

Introduction:

The wind instrumentalist embouchure is probably one of the most demanding tasks that occurs during their musical performance. It is important to quantify the forces that are applied during the wind instrumentalist embouchure on the perioral structures.

Objective:

Quantify the force on the perioral structures involved during the embouchure mechanism of wind instrumentalists.

Methods:

Piezoresistive sensors of FlexiForceTMwere placed on the mouthpiece of 28 different wind instrumentalists, in order to obtain the applied forces transmitted to the upper lip or the lower lip. The application of the sensors were done according to the particular characteristics of the different types of wind instruments, single reed, double reed or metal. Each participant performed three times three different notes at different pitches: high, medium and low. The average medium and maximum pressure was obtained from the nine essays. The sensors were connected to a data acquisition board from National Instruments and the results displayed in LabVIEW 2011.

Results:

Measurement values were obtained for the different groups of wind instruments. In an ascending order, the pressures registered where for the bassoon (6g-31g), the oboe (17g-125g), the saxophone (39g-120g), the clarinet (54g-106g), the trumpet, (63g-172g), the bisel flute (73g-245g), the French horn (56g-305g), the transversal flute (220g-305g) and the trombone (201g-325g).

Conclusion:

Metal instrumentalists seem to apply greater forces than woodwind musicians when performing the embouchure mechanism, being in this specific case the trombone the instrument from the metal group to exert more force, while on the contrary, the bassoon registered the lower values.

Published: April 2019

Background:

The investigation of new sources of raw materials and the knowledge of the composition of the food is fundamental for the evaluation of their potential and the availability of nutrients for the consumer population.

Objective:

This work aimed to deepen the knowledge about the crude oil of babassu fruit obtained by two different methods of extraction, cold pressing and extraction by cooking the fruit almond.

Method:

Total phenolic compounds contents and antioxidant activity were determined by ferric reducing antioxidant potential assay and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging capacity assay. By liquid chromatography, the content of different bioactive compounds was determined. Data was submitted to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and compared by f test (p <0.05).

Results:

The results showed that for most of the bioactive compounds there was no difference between the two types of babassu oil. For those compounds where the oils differed, the virgin oil had about three times the content of the extra-virgin oil. In addition, the antioxidant activity was higher for the oil extracted by cooking of the babassu mass, ranging from approximately 2.5 times higher up to 19.2 times higher than the antioxidant activity of the babassu oil extracted by pressing.

Conclusion:

The process of extraction by cooking the almond mass can incorporate a larger number of bioactive components and improve the antioxidant activity of the virgin babassu oil. However, the extraction method does not influence the content of tocopherols of distinct types of babassu oil.
Comparison between Korea’s Grants-based ODA in Agriculture and Status of Food Security of its Recipient Countries in Asia
Authors: Lee Hyejin
Published: April 2019

Introduction:

Agriculture tends to be the main employer and income source in many developing countries. Recognizing the value of agriculture for food security
and poverty reduction, major donors invest in the agricultural development through the Official Development Assistance or ODA. Of the donors, the Republic of Korea stands out with its historical experience from being a recipient to donor. However, it is not very clear with what criteria Korea would select its recipient countries to disburse its agricultural ODA. Thus, the main objective of this study is to examine a following hypothesis; Korea disburses its agricultural ODA in Asia based on the recipient country’s level of food insecurity.

Materials and Methods:

To test the hypothesis, collected data are analyzed and comparisons are made between Korea’s grants-based agricultural ODA disbursements and the status of food insecurity of its major recipients in Asia.

Results:

Although limited to the grants-based agricultural ODA, the results reveal that distribution of the agricultural ODA across the select recipient countries in Asia does not correspond to their severity of food insecurity. Rather, the least food insecure country or the Philippines received the largest agricultural ODA.

Conclusion:

It appears that at least at a recipient-country level, Korea may have other selection criteria for its grants-based agricultural ODA disbursement or more likely consider a combination of underlying factors that combine both Korea’s national interest and a recipient country’s sociopolitical environment.
Analysis of the policy background of transport related use of renewable energy
Authors: Princz-Jakovics Tibor
Published: April 2019

The EU energy policy prioritizes the following principles: sustainability, competitiveness and security of supply and addresses the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as a priority. The related EU policy (including the White Paper on Transport) outlines these principles, identifies goals and opportunities for action. At company level methodological guidelines and standard procedures can be used to assess the carbon footprint of the organization, to generate efficiency goals and to prepare action plans. In the Hungarian policy framework, a comprehensive National Sustainable Development Framework Strategy defines the basic principles for the analysis of the sectorspecific or regional strategies. Sustainable Energy Action and Climate Plans (SECAPs) integrate energy and climate issues and include interventions and improvements for the better use of renewable energy sources in transport at municipal level. As a summary it can be stated that exploration of the policy background would needed to influence the use of renewable energy sources for transport and definition of the development goals can help economic organizations to transform their mobility patterns and reduce related carbon footprint.
Lehetőségek a cirkuláris, fenntartható mezőgazdaságban

Published: April 2019

A víz az élet forrása, a vízkészletek hosszú távú megőrzése szempontjából nagyon fontos a csatornázás és a szennyvíztisztítás fejlesztése. A szennyvíziszap elsősorban nem hulladék, amelyet ártalmatlanítani kell, hanem hasznosítható másodlagos nyersanyag, illetve megújuló energiaforrás. A települési szennyvíziszapok, szennyvíziszap komposztok viszonylag nagy mennyiségű szerves anyagot tartalmaznak, ezért felhasználásának egyik kiváló lehetősége lehet a mezőgazdasági hasznosítás. A fenntartható mezőgazdaságra való áttérés egyre sürgetőbb, és egyre nagyobb jelentőséggel bír, hiszen olyan megoldást biztosíthat, amely a jövőbe tekint, tehát nem rombolja a környezetet; önfenntartó, azaz ciklusosan működő, az egyik folyamatban keletkező hulladék, a másik folyamatban nyersanyaggá vállhat. Az iszap talajra gyakorolt kedvező hatásai, mint a talaj szervesanyag-tartalmának növelése, a talaj termékenységének, tápanyag szolgáltató képességének és mikrobiológiai aktivitásának növelése mellett, mindig felmerül a toxikus elemek és a gyógyszermaradványok előfordulása és akkumulációjának problémája. A gazdasági tevékenység hagyományos modellje a lineáris modell. Ez a modell nem veszi figyelembe az erőforrások kiaknázásának, átalakításának és eltávolításának magas gazdasági, társadalmi és környezeti költségeit és ezért hosszú távon nem fenntartható. A cirkuláris gazdaság alternatív modellt kínál, melyben a termékek, az anyagok és az erőforrások fennmaradnak addig, ameddig csak lehetséges, és a hulladék mennyisége jelentősen csökken vagy el is fogy. A mezőgazdasági termelési rendszerek felborult ökológiai, biológiai egyensúlyának a helyreállítására szintén adaptálható lehet, egy zárt ciklusú körkörös modell, mely szerint minimális talajművelési technológiák fejlesztésével, valamint a szerves anyag, tápanyag-utánpótlással lehetséges helyreállítani a mezőgazdasági területeket.
Kötelező átvételi rendszerben benyújtott naperőmű létesítési igények, megvalósulásának hatása a magyarországi településállomány villamosenergia-ellátására
Authors: Kulcsár Balázs
Published: April 2019

Magyarországon 2017-től átalakult a megújulóenergia-termelés támogatási rendszere. A megújuló energiaforrásból és hulladékból előállított villamosenergia-termelésének ösztönzésére a törvényalkotó, korábban a Kötelező Átvételi Rendszert (KÁT) hozta létre. A Kötelező Átvételi Rendszert, 2017. január 1-től a Megújuló támogatási rendszer (Metár) váltotta fel. A Metár hatályba lépése előtt már ismert volt, hogy a KÁT rendszerben működött 25 éves támogatott átvételi időszak, a Metárban már csak 13 év lesz, így 2016-ban valóságos roham indult meg a KÁT engedélyekért, hogy még a kedvezőbb feltételek mellett köthessenek szerződést a beruházók. A MEKH ekkor rekord mennyiségű, nagyjából 2000 engedélyt adott ki 500 kW és az alatti naperőművek építéséhez. Ez több mint 1000 MW összteljesítmény. Jelen tanulmány arra keresi a választ, hogy a KÁT engedélyekkel rendelkező naperőművek, megvalósulásuk esetén hogyan befolyásolnák a magyar településállomány önellátottsági szintjét a villamosenergia-ellátásban. A továbbiakban ezen erőmű kategóriába tartozó, már meglévő és az engedélyek alapján a jövőben megépülő, erőművek hatását vizsgáljuk a települési villamosenergia-önellátásban.

Authors: Dzyurich Tatiana A. , Chesnikova Anna I. , Terentyev Vladimir P. , Kolomatskaya Olga E.
Published: April 2019

Objective:to assess the diagnostic significance of atrial and brain natriuretic peptides for the detection of chronic heart failure in comorbid patients with atrial fibrillation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Materials and methods:120 patients depending on the presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic heart failure (CHF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) were divided into the following groups: I group (n=28) — patients with COPD without cardiovascular disease (CVD), II group — patients with CHF and COPD without AF (n=30), III group — patients with CHF and AF without COPD (n=33), IV group — patients with CHF, AF and COPD (n=29). Th e concentration of precursors of brain and atrial natriuretic peptides (NUP) (NT-proBNP and MR-proANP) was evaluated.Results:The level of NT-proBNP exceeded the reference values in all patients with CHF (I, II, III groups). In patients with CHF, AF and COPD the highest values of NT-proBNP concentrations were obtained, which were 2.2 times higher in the group of patients with CHF and COPD without AF (p=0.000) and 1.9 times higher in patients with CHF and AF without COPD (p=0.01). Comparative analysis of the MR-proANP level allowed to judge a higher concentration of this indicator in patients with CHF and COPD without COPD in comparison with the level of the marker in the groups of patients with CHF, AF and COPD (p=0.001), CHF and COPD without AF (p=0.000) and COPD without CVD (p=0.000).Conclusions:in patients with AF and COPD, the study of brain NUP NT-proBNP in connection with structural and functional changes of the right ventricle, against the background of existing cardiac arrhythmias and pulmonary pathology is preferable to determine the presence and severity of CHF. The elevated level of MR-proANP is of diagnostic value in patients with AF and CHF without COPD, due to the increased volume load on the Atria due to the presence of AF.

Levels of the IGF-1, IGF-2, IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-2 growth factors (Mediagnost, Germany) and STH-releasing (Peninsula Laboratories International, USA) were determined by ELISA using standard test systems. The results were analyzed using Statistica 6.0 (Stat-Soft, 2001).Results:levels of IGFВР-2 and STH-releasing in conditionally intact tissues in women were 44% and 40% lower than in men, respectively. The IGFВР-2 level in perifocal tissues of women was 38% higher than in men, while STH-releasing was lower by 1.9 times. Tumor tissues of local kidney cancer in women showed significant decrease in IGF-1 by 25%, IGFВР-1 by 29% and IGFВР-2 by 2 times. Levels of IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-2 in conditionally intact tissues of women with advanced cancer were 2 and 2.7 times lower, respectively, compared to men. IGFBP-2 and STH-releasing in perifocal tissues of women were increased by 43.8% and 44.6%, respectively. In tumor tissues of women with advanced kidney cancer, levels of IGF-1 were 1.7 times higher, IGF-2 – 31% lower, IGFBP-2 – 2.8 times lower and STH-releasing – 36% lower, compared to men.Conclusions:IGFBP-2 in all studied kidney tissues in local and advanced cancer was an identically variable index characterizing gender differences in the body’s reaction to the tumor process.

Adverse Childhood Experiences Ontology for Mental Health Surveillance, Research, and Evaluation: Advanced Knowledge Representation and Semantic Web Techniques
Authors: Brenas Jon Hael , Shin Eun Kyong , Shaban-Nejad Arash
Published: April 2019

Background

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), a set of negative events and processes that a person might encounter during childhood and adolescence, have been proven to be linked to increased risks of a multitude of negative health outcomes and conditions when children reach adulthood and beyond.

Objective

To better understand the relationship between ACEs and their relevant risk factors with associated health outcomes and to eventually design and implement preventive interventions, access to an integrated coherent dataset is needed. Therefore, we implemented a formal ontology as a resource to allow the mental health community to facilitate data integration and knowledge modeling and to improve ACEs’ surveillance and research.

Methods

We use advanced knowledge representation and semantic Web tools and techniques to implement the ontology. The current implementation of the ontology is expressed in the description logic ALCRIQ(D), a sublogic of Web Ontology Language (OWL 2).

Results

The ACEs Ontology has been implemented and made available to the mental health community and the public via the BioPortal repository. Moreover, multiple use-case scenarios have been introduced to showcase and evaluate the usability of the ontology in action. The ontology was created to be used by major actors in the ACEs community with different applications, from the diagnosis of individuals and predicting potential negative outcomes that they might encounter to the prevention of ACEs in a population and designing interventions and policies.

Conclusions

The ACEs Ontology provides a uniform and reusable semantic network and an integrated knowledge structure for mental health practitioners and researchers to improve ACEs’ surveillance and evaluation.
Budget impact of niraparib as maintenance treatment in recurrent ovarian cancer following platinum-based chemotherapy
Authors: Neeser Kurt , O'Neil William M , Stern Lee , Harrow Brooke , Travers Karin
Published: April 2019

Aim:
To estimate financial implications of adopting niraparib as maintenance treatment in recurrent ovarian cancer.
Materials & methods:
A model was developed to estimate the budget impact of treating patients with niraparib compared with alternative maintenance treatment options (olaparib, rucaparib, bevacizumab or ‘watch and wait’) over 3 years.
Results:
For a hypothetical plan with 1 million lives representative of US/Medicare-only populations, projected cost savings with niraparib were US$78,721/$293,723, $276,671/$1,009,729 and $353,585/$1,289,712 at years 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Sensitivity analyses showed prices of niraparib, rucaparib and olaparib to have the most significant impact on the budget.
Conclusion:
Factoring in all treatment-related costs, the use of niraparib could result in significant cost savings compared with other maintenance treatment options.
Las frases del tiempo
Authors: Mora Arellano Felipe J
Published: April 2019

Quien decida emplear su tiempo en leer las siguientes páginas, encontrará una serie de reflexiones en torno a 10 expresiones usadas con frecuencia en el lenguaje común. Frases que con su uso en la vida cotidiana resumimos nuestra relación con el tiempo, con la vida, la propia y la de los demás. Máximas y refranes que son como cápsulas filosóficas que revelan un sentido de nuestro quehacer –activo o contemplativo– y que, al parecer, pretendieron ser construidas para siempre. Pretendo analizar el sentido de las frases mediante el ejercicio de los mecanismos, a la manera de Jon Elster, e intento su clasificación tomando las imágenes del tiempo que Ramón Ramos descubre en los discursos sociales: el tiempo como recurso, como escenario y como horizonte.
De las políticas de investigación a las políticas de innovación
Authors: Echeverría Javier
Published: April 2019

Las políticas de innovación deberían distinguirse de las políticas de ciencia y tecnología, debido a que hay varios tipos y fuentes de innovaciones, no sólo las basadas en conocimiento científico. Este artículo propone un modelo pluralista y una definición axiológica de innovación y se centra en la innovación social. Como principal ejemplo de política de innovación, se analiza el Informe Británico Nation Innovation (2008), que promueve diferentes tipos de innovación.
El contrato técnico
Authors: Fisher y Salazar Jaime
Published: April 2019

Reflexionar sobre ciencia y tecnología acarrea temas morales y políticos: al desenvolvimiento científico y tecnológico se adhieren condiciones, resultados, costos y beneficios con una distribución asimétrica entre individuos, regiones y naciones que impacta las condiciones de justicia social y libertad individual. Sin ser nuevo en la historia, esto resulta hoy particularmente problemático, y exige una atención específica sobre la ciencia y la tecnología desde el punto de vista de la filosofía política, configurándose en ello una filosofía política de la ciencia y la tecnología. El siglo pasado se acuñó un término fértil donde parece posible anclar tal reflexión: nuevo contrato social para la ciencia y la tecnología, mismo que aparece como uno de los conceptos centrales a ser esclarecidos en el pensar filosófico sobre el tema, y como un aspecto teórico y práctico fundamental dentro de la corriente de estudios CTS.
La cultura científico-tecnológica como condición de las sociedades democráticas contemporáneas
Authors: Olivé León
Published: April 2019

Se sostiene que la cultura científico-tecnológica es una condición necesaria para la vida democrática de las sociedades contemporáneas. Esta tesis se respalda mediante el examen de dos episodios recientes en México: la emergencia sanitaria de la primavera de 2009 por un brote de influenza, y las solicitudes de compañías transnacionales de siembra de maíz transgénico a campo abierto, hecho posible a partir de modificaciones al reglamento de la Ley de Bioseguridad de Organismos Genéticamente Modificados. En ambos casos la toma de decisiones políticas y la participación de la población hubiera sido diferente, y más acorde con una auténtica sociedad democrática, si existiera una adecuada cultura científico-tecnológica que permitiera a la ciudadanía participar de manera informada y de acuerdo con sus intereses. Se comenta el papel de la filosofía para elucidar y colaborar en la construcción de la cultura científico-tecnológica apropiada, y se rechaza la idea de que la filosofía de la ciencia y de la tecnología debe mantenerse separada entre una vertiente “analítica” y una “humanística”; ambos enfoques son necesarios y deben integrarse en una adecuada concepción filosófica de la ciencia y la tecnología, indispensable en la sociedades actuales.

notesIdentidades de vacaciones – notas sobre la autoficción en la literatura brasileña contemporánea
Authors: Viegas Ana Claudia
Published: April 2019

Un breve estudio de narrativas en primera persona publicadas por escritores brasileños en la última década nos permite observar una presencia significativa de la autoficción, género ambiguo en que categorías como autor y narrador, vida y ficción se mezclan de forma indecidible. Teniendo por base las nociones de “espacio biográfico” (Leonor Arfuch) y “giro subjetivo” (Beatriz Sarlo), desarrollamos, a través del análisis de algunas de esas obras, hipótesis respecto a una concepción contemporánea

El arco de experiencias de la adolescencia Esquivas, estratagemas, embrollos, caparazones y destellos
Authors: Breviglieri Marc
Published: April 2019

Cuando los adolescentes abandonan la infancia, experimentan una serie de pruebas en público. El espacio intercalado entre las regiones lúdicas de la niñez y el dominio público merece cuestionarse. Dicho cuestionamiento permite idear el equilibrio dinámico que encuentra o no la persona en su modo de entrar en el mundo, entre la localidad de las regiones lúdicas del mundo familiar a las que el adolescente queda unido y la dimensión generalizadora del dominio público en el que planea afirmarse. El paso de la frontera entre el mundo proximal familiar y el dominio público traza entonces un arco experiencial notable: evasiva, estratagema, embrollo, caparazón y destello… La falibilidad y la consolidación progresiva del yo  vienen a ser pues, el espacio productivo de comprensión de la propia idea de adolescencia.

 
Civilidad social y felicidad del encuentro urbano Las figuras del “viejito” y del “bebé”
Authors: Gayet-Viaud Carole
Published: April 2019

La sociabilidad urbana fue durante mucho tiempo, y todavía hoy en día lo es, pensada de una manera negativa: ella es presentada en oposición a los espacios de inter-reconocimiento, a su inscripción en el tiempo, a su capacidad a poner en juego la singularidad de las personas. Debido a dicha comparación a todas luces desfavorable, las relaciones furtivas entre individuos anónimos son asociadas con todo aquello que la sociabilidad presenta como lo más factual: la superficialidad evidente de los “códigos”. El presente artículo, producto de una investigación etnográfica realizada en la región de Paris, propone reconsiderar esta perspectiva, con la finalidad de intentar identificar la positividad de los vínculos ligeros en la ciudad. La investigación se focaliza en aquellas situaciones en las que se manifiesta una apertura espontánea hacia los otros, un acercamiento en el que se dan ciertas formas de reconocimiento desinteresado, irreductibles a la salvaguarda de la faz o a la instrumentalización de los lugares o de las personas.

 
El enfoque biográfico: su validez metodológica, sus potencialidades
Authors: Bertaux Daniel
Published: April 2019

Resumen

 

En sociología, como en otras disciplinas, la coyuntura actual está en el pluralismo de las teorías y de los métodos. También los relatos de vida, redescubiertos al fin, son utilizados de múltiples maneras. Pero, al mismo tiempo, ya que hacen que la investigación se centre en el punto de articulación de los seres humanos y de las jerarquías sociales, de la cultura y de la praxis, de las relaciones socioculturales y la dinámica histórica, podría ser que de la diversidad de sus utilizaciones emerja poco a poco un enfoque unificador que sobrepase las fronteras actuales de la sociología como tal.
DEBATES ACTUALES EN TORNO DE LA MODERNIDAD. PERSPECTIVAS Y HORIZONTES
Authors: Kozlarek Jonas Oliver
Published: April 2019

En este trabajo quiero argumentar a favor del concepto de modernidad. Si bien la modernidad ya no se puede entender como un horizonte normativo universalmente válido, se articulan en y a través de este concepto, experiencias que casi todos los seres humanos en este planeta comparten a pesar de las diferencias que sus visiones e imaginarios, sus críticas e incluso sus rechazos, expresan. “Modernidad”, mi tesis, nombra un campo discursivo en el que se traslapan las reflexiones acerca del entramado actual de los asuntos humanos a nivel mundial. En un sentido normativo “modernidad” expresa una nueva “consciencia del mundo” y el reconocimiento de la necesidad de traducir las múltiples experiencias y expectativas con y dentro de los procesos de modernización.
