Entrepreneurship competences in business plans: a systematic literature review
Authors: Ferreras Raquel , Hernández-Lara Ana Beatriz , Serradell-López Enric
Published: February 2018

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre la incorporación de las competencias emprendedoras en la educación superior, específicamente a través de la evaluación de la adquisición de este tipo de competencias al realizar un plan de empresa. Como resultado de la gran cantidad de literatura sobre competencias emprende- doras, pensamos que una revisión sistemática de la literatura sobre este tema será útil para aclarar, sistematizar y determinar lo que ya se conoce y las lagunas que aún que- dan en este campo académico. Una revisión sistemática de la literatura nos permitirá determinar la importancia de la relevancia dada por la investigación a este tema y su trayectoria. Por lo tanto, en este artículo vamos a elaborar un estado del arte sobre la incorpo- ración de las competencias emprendedoras a distintos niveles: en la educación, en la educación superior, y más específicamente en los planes de empresa. El estudio de las competencias ha sido ampliamente analizado en las últimas dé- cadas debido a su incorporación en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. La abundancia de literatura sobre este tema justifica la idoneidad de realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura, además de la revisión clásica de los contenidos. La revisión sistemática de la literatura la llevamos a cabo a partir de la base de da- tos Web of Science desde el primer trabajo sobre esta materia hasta el momento actual. El procedimiento ha consistido en restringir la búsqueda determinando los conceptos clave y combinándolos adecuadamente. Con el objetivo de identificar aquellos estudios que, de una u otra manera, están relacionados con el tema del emprendimiento y la educación, las palabras clave genéricas consideradas fueron emprendimiento y com- petencias emprendedoras, mientras que las palabras clave específicas fueron planes de empresa, educación, enseñanza, aprendizaje, evaluación y universidad. A continua- ción, hemos identificado los artículos, y los hemos exportado a un software de gestión de referencias, y finalmente hemos revisado los artículos seleccionados resultantes y descartado los que no se adecuan al tema de la investigación. Los resultados muestran que en los últimos años, con las reformas del Proceso de Bolonia, se han incrementado considerablemente los estudios sobre competencias emprendedoras y su relación con el proceso de enseñanza/aprendizaje. Así, hemos observado que en la literatura científica existen muchas experiencias que incluyen el estudio de las competencias o de las competencias emprendedoras en general y su relación con la educación. Sin embargo, no conocemos ningún estudio que analice el grado de adquisición de las competencias emprendedoras por parte de los estudiantes al desarrollar un plan de empresa.
Revaluando el Impulso Tàpies. Interacción Contemplativa en la Sala de Reflexión.
Authors: Álvarez Mónica
Published: February 2018

In the aftermath of the death of the Catalan artist Antoni Tàpies (06/02/2012)I followed a trail of movements in an intuitive way activated by theimpression that caused in me and in my environment this death. As a creative,cognitive and committed person to my interiority I followed this set ofmovements from a holistic approach and termed it as impulse Tàpies as it wassomewhat inspired by his life, work and message. This impulse led me toexplore the Reflection Room, a work of integral character made when Tàpiesreached his maturity and connecting through a contemplative interactioncarried out in this room with part of the transcendental message this creatorleft us. In the last stage of his life he emphasized between the nexus of art andspirituality, as well as the urgency of finding equivalents of traditionalcontemplative spiritual experiences, adapted to the modern mind.

The figure of Antonio Gaudí has been analysed in many occasions, becausehe is one of the most influential architects in the world. In this paper we leaveaside the most central elements of his work to delve into the aspects of sound,much that are more unnoticed. To do this, we firstly describe the differentsound environments in which the artist grew up, matured and professionallydeveloped and accompanied his daily life, especially the influence oftraditional Catalan music and Gregorian chant. After that, the main soundelements are analyzed in three of their most emblematic creations: Park Güell,La Pedrera and Sagrada Familia. In this way, we described how, throughacoustics zones created with different architectural elements, the dichotomyof sound spaces, free rhythm, intentional use of reverberation, bell design,organ placement and Spaces reserved for the corals, Gaudí gave to itscreations a spiritual depth that transcended of the visual aspects to enter in themagic of the sound.
Modern methods of assessing the taxonomic affiliation of honeybee colonies
Authors: Ilyasov Rustem A. , Poskryakov Aleksandr V. , Nikolenko Aleksei G.
Published: February 2018

At least 30 subspecies of the honeybee Apis mellifera L. were formed allopatrically during the evolution, which spreaded throughout all Africa, Europe and West Asia. The dark forest bee Apis mellifera mellifera is the only and most valuable subspecies for the Northern and Western Europe countries, adapted to productive living in the hard-continental climate of Eurasia. In the past 100 years, natural geographical isolation of subspecies has been disrupted as a result of a human activities. Mass transportations of honeybee colonies beyond the boundaries of their area have been threatened of loss the identity of gene pool of subspecies as a result of hybridization. Preservation of the gene pool of subspecies is possible only when controlling the transportation of honeybee colonies using the methods of identification of taxonomic affiliation of honeybee colonies. Now, dozens of methods have been developed to identify the taxonomic affiliation of honeybee's colony, which are based on the variability of body parts, allozyme loci, mitochondrial DNA loci, microsatellite nuclear loci, sites of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The variability of microsatellite loci and the single nucleotide polymorphism sites have shown the greatest informativeness in identification of the taxonomic affiliation of honeybee's colony.
Different Strategies to Treat Paroxysmal AF in Patients with Moderate CKD and Severe OSA: a sub group Analysis
Authors: Kiuchi Marcio Galindo , Chen Shaojie
Published: February 2018

Accentuated sympathetic nerve activity is a strong danger feature for cardiovascular major episodes, such as cerebral and myocardial ischemia/infarction.  Peripheric sympathetic nerve activity is emphasized in the hypertensive state, congestive cardiac failure, OSA, heaviness, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) subjects. Leastwise a half of individuals with hypertension present augmented sympathetic nerve activity. Our group believes that RSD can reduce AF recurrence in patients with CKD and OSA by modulation of the sympathetic hyperactivity present in these diseases. The goal of this prospective study was to compare the impact of different treatments including CPAP, PVI, RSD, and some combination of them in controlled hypertensive patients with paroxysmal AF, moderate CKD, and severe OSA. Our data suggest that the patients underwent RSD associated to CPAP treatment or PVI, or both of them presented an improvement in the renal function, a decrease in AHI and a lower chance to present AF recurrence than the ones that did not suffer this intervention. Although encouraging, our data are preliminary and need long-term validation in a large population.

Published: February 2018

Abstract: the intense production of construction and demolition waste (RCCD) in city spaces is a central problem for public management, especially in view of the difficulty in finding suitable places for the disposal of this waste without this poses a risk to the environment. In this sense, the present study aims to identify geoenvironmental aspects (geological, geomorphological and hydrological dynamics) for the evaluation of the terrain with the aid of GIS tools and field expeditions. In order to do so, the methodological stages were systematically systematized. They were: thematic maps, interviews with residents and technicians of the City Hall, monitoring of the deposit formation process and final environmental diagnosis. Finally, it was possible to list and propose structural and non-structural, corrective and mitigating measures for the area of deposit and permanent balance with the environment and with the predominant forms of use and occupation of the region.Análise Geoambiental para Delimitação de Área de Depósito de Resíduos de Construção CivilResumo: a  intensa produção de resíduos de construção civil e demolição (RCCD) nos espaços das cidades constitui um problema central para a gestão pública, especialmente diante da dificuldade em se encontrar lugares adequados para deposição destes resíduos sem que isso configure um risco à população . Nesse sentido, o presente estudo visa elencar aspectos geoambientais (geológicos, geomorfológicos e dinâmica hidrológica) para avaliação do terreno com o auxílio de ferramentas SIG e expedições de campo. Para tanto, sistematizou-se, sequencialmente, as etapas metodológicas, sendo elas: elaboração de mapas temáticos, entrevistas com moradores e técnicos da Prefeitura Municipal, acompanhamento do processo de formação do depósito e diagnóstico ambiental final. Por fim, foi possível elencar e propor medidas estruturais e não-estruturais, corretivas e mitigadoras para a área do depósito possibilitando equilíbrio ambiental em consonância com as formas de uso e ocupação predominantes da região.
Efecto Fin de Semana en la calidad del aire de la ciudad de Cuenca, Ecuador
Authors: Parra René
Published: February 2018

The Weekend Effect (WE) is a phenomenon that occurs in some urban areas, characterized by increased concentrations of O3 despite of the decreasing in emissions of its precursors (NOx and VOC) during weekend days, in comparison to weekdays. Study of WE is relevant for understanding the behavior of pollutants, and hence, for air quality control. In this study, we analyzed hourly records of the period 2013-2015, from the air quality station in the historic center of the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. For each year, 3 mean-daily profiles were obtained for CO, NO2, PM2.5 and O3, corresponding to weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. CO, NO2 and PM2.5 profiles declined on Saturdays and Sundays, in comparison to weekdays. However, O3 profiles showed equal or higher concentrations on Saturdays and Sundays. Mean increase of the maximum O3 8-h mean concentrations of Sundays, in comparison to weekdays, ranged between 8.6 and 15.8%. These results suggest the presence of WE around in the historic center of Cuenca, zone where probably there is a VOC-limited regime for photochemical O3 production.

Published: February 2018

Forty-two strains of avian influenza viruses were isolated from the wild waterfowls’ feces in the city of Moscow. These viruses, as well as reference strains and some experimental reassortants, were analyzed by microarrays. The microarrays contained 176 probes to the different segments of influenza virus genome. The microarray helps to determine 1) the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins subtype; 2) the primary structure of the C-terminal sequence of the viral NS1 protein, which serves as a ligand for the PDZ domain; 3) the presence of stop codons in the reading frame of PB1-F2 as well as the N66S substitution in the PB1-F2 viral protein; 4) the presence of the polybasic site for hemagglutinin cleavage. The viruses of the H3N1, H3N6, H3N8, H4N6, H1N1, H5N3, and H11N9 subtypes were identified from the group of wild birds’ isolates. All isolates contained the ESEV sequence at the C-terminus of the NS1 protein and the full-length reading frame for the PB1-F2 protein. The replacement of N66S in PB1-F2 was found in six strains. However, the presence of the ESEV sequence (ligand of PDZ domain) in the NS1 virus protein and the N66S substitution in PB1-F2 did not lead to the pathogenicity of these viruses for mice. All isolates demonstrated high yield growth in chicken embryos and were infectious and immunogenic for mice, but did not induce any clinical symptoms.
Blast-resistance of ultra-high strength concrete and reactive powder concrete
Authors: Yang Dal-Hun , Kwon Min-Jae , Lee Tae-Hee , Kim Jang-Ho Jay
Published: February 2018

Recent advances in nanotechnology research have been applied to improve the durability, service- ability, and safety of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). Furthermore, improvements in the compres- sive strength of concrete have allowed concrete structural member size and self-weight to be significantly reduced, which has in turn resulted in cost reduction and structural aesthetic enhancement. Among many UHPCs currently available on the market, the most representative ones are ultra-high strength concrete (UHSC) and reactive powder concrete (RPC). Even though UHSC and RPC have compressive strengths of over 100 MPa, their safety has been questioned due to possible ultra brittle failure behavior and unfavorable cost-to-performance efficiency. The blast-resistant capacities of UHSC and RPC were experimentally evalu- ated to determine the possibility of using UHSC and RPC in concrete structures susceptible to terrorist at- tacks or accidental impacts. In addition, ANFO blast tests were performed on reinforced UHSC and RPC panels. Incidental and reflected pressures, as well as maximum and residual displacements and the strains of rebar and concrete were measured. Blast damage and failure modes of the reinforced panel specimens were recorded. The maximum displacement ratio of UHSC-NSC and RPC-NSC are 0.57, showing that UHSC and RPC have better blast resistance than NSC.

Published: February 2018

 

This study was conducted to determine the effects of grafting and rootstock-scion

combinations on the yield and nutrient content for both the leaves and fruit of

watermelons. Two watermelon (Citrillus

lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai) varieties Crisby and Crimstar were

grafted on to Ferro and RS 841, and the commercial hybrids of Cucurbita maxima x Cucurbita moschata.

Non-grafted plants were used as controls. In the grafted plants the content of K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn in the leaves and N in fruits

significantly increased when compared to the control. A significant effect was

observed in the rootstocks for the Fe, Cu, Zn content in the leaves and the N,

P, Ca, Cu and Zn content in the fruit. The K and Fe content in the leaf and the

Fe, Cu, Zn and dry matter content in the fruit were also found to be

significant between the varieties. Grafting and rootstock-scion combinations

affect fruit yield. The Crimstar/Ferro combination had the highest yield. Also,

in the grafted plants, the dry matter content of

the fruits had a significant positive correlation with the Ca and Mg content of

the leaves.

Published: February 2018

La presencia de aguas residuales coloreadas en los cuerpos de agua evita la penetración de la luz, disminuyendo la fotosíntesis de plantas, y la supervivencia de organismos acuáticos, además afecta significativamente el paisaje. Se optimizó la geometría del colorante Negro P-SG y del complejo cromado, con el fin de proponer los enlaces susceptibles de rompimiento por las enzimas que contiene la levadura Saccharomyces cerevisiae usada en estado inmovilizado con gelatina. El análisis cinético mostró que la KM es menor en la levadura inmovilizada, y la cinética de biorremediación del colorante es dependiente de su concentración, donde las ecuaciones que representan la cinética de biorremediación son ecuaciones exponenciales de decrecimiento y el tiempo de vida media de biorremediación del colorante es 0.67 hr a concentraciones máximas de levadura inmovilizada en relación al control. La ósmosis del colorante a través de la gelatina es dependiente de la concentración del colorante, afectando la biorremediación de este, por lo tanto, la biorremediación del colorante es dependiente de la concentración de colorante y de la concentración de levadura inmovilizada. En este trabajo se mostró la levadura inmovilizada en gelatina como una potencial herramienta para remediar colorantes azoicos.

El crecimiento poblacional, las actividades económicas intensivas y el cambio climático, han generado una gran presión o estrés sobre el recurso hídrico, evidenciando la necesidad de establecer como unidad de intervención la cuenca hidrográfica e implementar en ella modelos que permitan su ordenación. En este trabajo se generó un nuevo mapa de precipitación media mensual, buscando que este sea incorporado en el modelo existente y posteriormente replicar el procedimiento en las demás zonas que hacen parte de dicha jurisdicción. Los mapas de precipitación obtenidos fueron el resultado de una combinación óptima entre los estimados a partir de las bases de datos del IDEAM de precipitación media mensual y los estimados a partir de la implementación de los modelos aplicados para cada mes. Dicha combinación o ponderación se basó en los campos de varianza del error. De igual manera, se encontró que los modelos j-bessel, hole effect y gaussian fueron los que presentaron mayor frecuencia de todos los modelos evaluados.
Nanodiagnostics and Nanodelivery Applications in Genetic Alterations
Authors: Falzarano Maria Sofia , Flesia Cristina , Cavalli Roberta , Guiot Caterina , Ferlini Alessandra
Published: February 2018

Background:

Genetic alterations cause Hereditary Diseases (HDs) with a wide range of incidences.
Some, like cystic fibrosis, occur frequently (1/1,000 newborns), whilst others, such as Pompe disease and other
metabolic disorders are very rare (1/100,000 newborns). They are well under the threshold of 1/3,000, denoted by
the European Community as Rare Diseases (RDs). Genetic alterations are also associated with multifactorial
disorders like diabetes, and underline both somatic and germline mutations in cancer.

Nowadays, thanks to the interventions of the European Union and the American National Health Institute as well
as others, Hds are under an international lense, which has stimulated discussions and research targeting gene
identification, prenatal diagnosis and care optimization leading to the development of new treatment options.

Nanomedicine is paving the way toward some highly appealing clinical and research avenues in HDs. Nanotechnologies
lend themselves to many aspects in human healthcare, such as in vitro diagnostics (nanobiosensors and
nanoplatforms), drug delivery (nanovectors), drug monitoring (nanosensors) and artificial organs to study the
genome variant meaning (nanostructures).

Methods:

and Results: With a significant reduction in costs and simplified healthcare delivery, nanodiagnostics
can potentially provide the tools to diagnose diseases at an early stage with precision. In vitro nanodiagnostics are
already diagnosing RDs, with many nanodevices having been successfully introduced over the last few decades.

Nanovectors represent an emerging approach in drug delivery and treatment for several diseases such as cancers,
infectious diseases, cardiovascular disorders and neurological pathologies.

Artificial tissues have valuable implications in replacing compromised organs, thus offering unique opportunities
to explore pathogenic mechanisms as well as new drug targets in a personalized context.

Conclusion:

This article outlines and discusses the recent progress in nanotechnology and its potential applications
in HDs. It is a pivotal field for research and innovation in healthcare, with emphasis on diagnostics, disease
monitoring, biomarker assaying and drug delivery. We underlined the nanomethod’s capacity to identify genetic
alterations and the follow up of important aspects of the disease course, including therapies. We extensively described
the new field of nanodelivery for experimental drugs, focusing on new genetic therapies and their implications
in hereditary disorders. We also detailed innovative tools as artificial tissues based on nanomatrices and
their use to identify or study genetic alterations.

Authors: Akunne Maureen Ogochukwu , Chukwueke Uchechukwu Chris , Anosike Chibueze
Published: February 2018

Objective: Zika virus infection is fast becoming a major public health concern in both developed and developing countries of the world because of its association with microcephaly and Guillain Barre Syndrome. Assessment of its knowledge and understanding among different healthcare practitioners are essential for prevention and control especially in developing countries such as Nigeria. Our aim was to assess the knowledge of the virus and its associated factors among healthcare professionals (HCPs).Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 10 to August 28, 2016, among health care professionals who were selected by non-probability convenience sampling technique. The respondents were selected from various practice settings including academic institution, private and government hospitals in Enugu State, Nigeria. A validated and pilot tested 15 item questionnaire was used to evaluate respondents’ knowledge of ZIKV infection. Descriptive statistics and chi-square were used to analyze respondents’ level of knowledge and its associated factors using SPSS version 16.Results: Two hundred (200) respondents participated in this study with more than half (53.0%) being male, and most were either Physician or Pharmacist (59.5%). Our results also showed that most of the respondents (128, 64.0%) had poor knowledge of ZIKV infection. However, among the respondents assessed, the Pharmacists and the Physicians had better knowledge of the disease as the test statistics were statistically significant at X2=16.722, p=0.033. HCPs in the academia had better knowledge compared to those that are self-employed or practicing in private or government hospitals (X2=17.178, p=0.028).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that most of the HCPs assessed in this study had poor knowledge of ZIKV infection. However, professional status, place of service, and study site were found to be associated with the respondents’ level of knowledge. Hence, through sensitization and awareness campaigns through the media, seminars, and workshops aimed at educating HCPs on the disease should be encouraged.

In Mexico, agriculture’s main environmental problems are related to water resources, deforestation and soil erosion. These problems are more acute in arid or semiarid regions such as in the state of Zacatecas. Environmental management systems (EMS) can be an alternate means for improving environmental conditions. In this study, factors that determine willingness to adopt an EMS in the vegetable production units of the state of Zacatecas were identified. We also analysed views on sustainability and production practices oriented toward environmental management and care of natural resources, as well as drivers and barriers to EMS adoption. Factors determining EMS adoption were level of education, awareness of the importance of caring for and protecting natural resources, application of agricultural practices oriented toward protecting the environment, and ignorance of environmental problems.

Introduction. Fever of unknown origin is an important diagnostic challenge. Although rare, periodic fever syndromes may often present with a chronic or recurrent febrile condition with a variable temporal pattern of occurrence. Although clinical characteristics often indicate the syndrome in question, there are many atypical forms, and the genotype?phenotype relationship is highly complex, warranting in many cases the designation of a ?syndrome spectrum? rather than a syndrome per se. The aim of this paper was to present a boy with recurrent fever of unknown origin. Case outline. We hereby present a boy with recurrent fever of unknown origin who was by clinically guided partial exome sequencing found to have a heterozygous variant 434A>G in the TNFRSF1A gene, otherwise connected with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic fever syndrome. The patient responded well to short courses of glucocorticoids and is no longer subjected to unnecessary antibiotic treatment he had frequently received in the past. Conclusion. Periodic fever syndromes should be kept in mind as a differential diagnostic possibility in children with fever of unknown origin.

The most convenient means of transport while visiting Cape Town is getting around the town by tour bus. Tour buses in Cape Town shuttle regularly between major attractions of the town. Tourists can hop on and hop off at any bus stop they like. In May 2010, shortly before the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which took place in South Africa, an integrated electronic platform MyCiTi was implemented. Since then, passengers have gained access to current timetables and routes of buses, and got additional information about transport in Cape Town, which has turned out to be a significant convenience for them. Passengers can choose between four main colour coded tours: red, blue, yellow and purple. They can also transfer to another bus at transport nodes, which enables them to reach all tourist attractions in Cape Town. Moreover, there is possibility of buying day tickets or two-day tickets and taking a cruise which constitutes a great attraction in the offer of Citysightseeing company in Cape Town.

KEPASTIAN HUKUM APOTEK RAKYAT DAN PEKERJAAN KEFARMASIAN
Authors: Restiasari Anggi , S. Bekti R. Ismadi , Gozali Ahmad

Apotek merupakan tempat dilakukannya pekerjaan kefarmasian, penyaluran sediaan farmasi dan perbekalan kesehatan lainnya kepada masyarakat. Pekerjaan kefarmasiaan meliputi pembuatan termasuk pengendalian mutu sediaan farmasi, pengamanan, pengadaan, penyimpanan dan pendistribusian obat, pelayanan obat atas resep dokter (meliputi peracikan, pelayanan obat keras, psikotropika dan narkotika, sampai pemberian etiket dan label), pelayanan informasi obat serta pengembangan obat, bahan obat dan obat tradisional. Pekerjaan kefarmasian di apotek harus dilakukan oleh tenaga kesehatan yang mempunyai keahlian dan kewenangan sesuai dengan ketentuan peraturan perundang-undangan. Didalam pekerjaan kefarmasian di apotek, peranan apoteker menjadi perhatian utama karena apoteker merupakan tenaga kefarmasian yang mempunyai keahlian dan wewenang sebagai penanggung jawab dalam pekerjaan kefarmasian di apotek. Berbeda halnya dengan Apotek Rakyat, Apotek Rakyat menurut Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan No. 284/MENKES/PER/III/2007 adalah sarana kesehatan tempat dilaksanakannya pelayanan kefarmasian dimana dilakukannya penyerahan obat dan perbekalan kesehatan dan tidak melakukan peracikan serta tidak boleh menyimpan dan menyerahkan narkotika dan psikotropika. Sehubungan terdapatnya beberapa ketentuan Apotek Rakyat berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan No. 284/MENKES/PER/III/2007 yang bertentangan dan tidak sesuai dengan ketentuan apotek berdasarkan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku, maka pada tesis ini akan dibahas mengenai hubungan antara kepastian hukum Apotek Rakyat dengan Pekerjaan Kefarmasian. Kepastian hukum tercapai apabila hukum tersebut didalamnya tidak terdapat keterangan-keterangan yang bertentangan dan tidak terdapat istilah-istilah yang dapat ditafsirkan secara berlainan. Hukum yang berhasil ialah yang dapat menjamin banyak kepastian hukum dalam hubungan-hubungan kemasyarakatan, sehingga dapat mewujudkan keadilan dan ketertiban bagi para pihak yang berkepentingan (masyarakat dan pemerintah). Berdasarkan analisis hubungan antara kepastian hukum Apotek Rakyat dengan Pekerjaan Kefarmasian, maka dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa ketentuan mengenai Apotek Rakyat berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan No. 284/MENKES/PER/III/2007 tidak memberikan kepastian hukum bagi apoteker dalam melaksanakan pekerjaan kefarmasian di Apotek Rakyat tersebut karena Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan No. 284/MENKES/PER/III/2007 tidak dapat memberikan perlindungan hukum, keadilan dan ketertiban bagi subjek hukum, yang dalam hal ini adalah masyarakat, baik masyarakat umum maupun masyarakat profesi (apoteker) atas pekerjaan kefarmasian. Sehingga, Peraturan Menteri Kesehatan No. 284/MENKES/PER/III/2007 harus dicabut, selanjutnya hanya mengacu pada ketentuan apotek sesuai dengan peraturan perundang-undangan yang berlaku

Bu çalışma, değişik oranlardaki zeytin yaprağı ekstraktının (Olive Leaf
Extract-OLE) ve infüzyonunun streptozosin ile oluşturulmuş deneysel diyabetik
sıçanların bazı biyokimyasal ve hematolojik parametreleri üzerine olası
koruyucu etkisini araştırmak amacıyla planlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, 56
adet Wistar albino sıçan rastgele 7
gruba ayrıldı (n=8). 21
günlük deneme sonunda biyokimyasal ve hematolojik analizleri yapıldı. OLE
uygulanan grupların hepsinde RBC’ler istatiksel anlamda etkilenmezken, HBG,
HCT, MCV’nin pozitif yönde etkilendiği görüldü (p<0.05). Diyabet+OLE-50 ve
OLE-100 gruplarında WBC’ler, kontrol grubuna göre, anlamlı şekilde gerilerken,
OLE-25 grubunda değişim gözlenmedi. Diyabet+OLE-25 grubunun kolesterol
değerlerinde, kontrol grubuna göre, anlamlı bir düşüş gözlenirken,
diyabet+OLE-100 grubundaki artış istatiksel düzeyde önemliydi. Diyabet+OLE-50 grubundaki artış
anlamlı değildi. Diyabet+OLE-25, diyabet+OLE-50 ve diyabet+OLE-100
gruplarında, trigliserid anlamlı derecede düşmüştü (p<0.05). İnfüzyon
uygulanan diyabetli grupta RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV,
MPV, PDW ve EOS pozitif yönde anlamlı şekilde artmıştı (p<0.05). İnfüzyon
trigliserid, LDL, Cl ve Na’u negatif yönde, HDL, Mg ve P’u pozitif yönde
etkilediği belirlendi. OLE uygulanan gruplar içerisinde kolesterol ve
trigliserid üzerine en etkili dozun OLE-25 mg/kg olduğu gözlendi. İnfüzyonun
ise, HDL’yi pozitif yönde, LDL’yi de negatif yönde anlamlı şekilde etkilediği
görüldü. Aynı şekilde kolesteroldeki düşüşün önemsiz, trigliseritdeki düşüşün
ise önemli olduğu yönünde bulgular elde edildi.
Aceptación del concepto de Economía Social e identificación de grupos homogéneos en países de Latinoamérica y Europa

La globalización y las nuevas tecnologías generan fuentes de riqueza que permiten transformar las estructuras sociales, económicas e institucionales, a través de la producción de bienes y servicios, con un efecto positivo para la sociedad, cuando estas acciones propician la distribución de los benefecios por encima del enriquecimiento individual. La creciente importancia de la economía social, como alternativa para el logro del desarrollo local, ha generado el interés de instituciones públicas, sociedad civil y comunidad científica. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar los indicadores de la aceptación del concepto de economía social por parte de autoridades públicas, empresas de economía social y mundo académico-científico de diferentes países de Latinoamérica y Europa; e identificar grupos homogéneos de las variables: empresas de economía social y empleos, utilizando el método jerárquico de análisis de cluster Ward. Para ello, se estudiaron 17 países de Latinoamérica y 27 de Europa, obtenidos de distintas bases de datos durante el periodo 2010 a 2012, así como de algunos informes. Los países con mayor aceptación del concepto de economía social son los de Europa, quienes, a diferencia de los países de Latinoamérica, forman conglomerados más grandes, con respecto al número de empresas de economía social y de empleos. Los países de Latinoamérica requieren mayores esfuerzos para lograr que la economía social sea parte estratégica en la consolidación del desarrollo local, como sucede en los países de Europa.
Transición o Simulación: los partidos políticos en México
Authors: Lizárraga Guadalupe
Published: February 2018

Después de la Segunda Guerra mundial, la transformación de los sistemas políticos autoritarios a democráticos se ha vuelto un imperativo para la mayoría de los estados nacionales de nuestro tiempo. La democracia liberal como forma de organización estatal cobró mayor legitimidad después de la desaparición de la URSS. Las dictaduras militares se han extinguido gracias al proceso de aislamiento - en el mejor de los casos - al que han sido sometidas, como Haití, el caso más reciente, sin que se llegase a la intervención militar por parte de la ONU. Otro proceso de transición dramático ha sido el de Sudáfrica, pero bastante confortador por su desenlace pacífico, después de décadas de cruentas luchas.1 Así también, nos recuerda la historia latinoamericana de casos como El Salvador, donde el costo de la democracia fue de diez años de guerra. Memoria dolorosa e imborrable, que ha dotado de prudencia y tolerancia a las diversas fuerzas políticas para acelerar su proceso de transición a una configuración democrática estable y sólida.
