Uso del mercadeo estratégico en las Mipymes de Bogotá
Authors: Rojas Berrio Sandra Patricia , Vega Rodríguez Ricardo Arturo 
Published: January 2015

A través de esta investigación se pretende generar una serie de reflexiones acerca de elementos teóricos y prác- ticos que dificultan la aplicación del mercadeo estratégico en las Mipymes bogotanas y, que trae como consecuen- cia, la alta tasa de mortalidad de este tipo de organiza- ciones. Surgen entonces aspectos que van desde los mismos planteamientos teóricos y de aplicabilidad del mercadeo estratégico, (pues este último se concibe como una práctica afín a los recursos y dinámicas de la gran empresa, de allí que sea pertinente conocer cuáles son las barreras más frecuentes del mercadeo) hasta los elementos que permiten estimular y facilitar el uso del mercadeo estratégico en las Mipymes colombianas y latinoamericanas. Se parte de la definición propuesta por la legislación colombiana de las Mipymes para pasar a recalcar su importancia dentro de la economía y plantear la proble- mática colombiana (a través de las cifras de su ciudad capital, Bogotá) de destrucción de riqueza por el cierre de empresas, en su mayoría Mipymes y cuya causalidad tiene significativos elementos de mala administración de mercadeo y comercial. Seguidamente se presentan los resultados logrados incluyendo los beneficios y las barreras encontradas en este contexto para la aplicación del mercadeo estratégico en las Mipymes. Se cierra el documento con una serie de consideraciones finales y recomendaciones.

Technology Update: Nanochemistry Drives New Method for Removal and Control of Wax
Authors: Tukenov Dauren 
Published: January 2015

Technology Update
Paraffin wax precipitation and deposition is one of the pervasive nuisances in oil industry operations worldwide, with wax deposits creating problems from the wellhead to the refinery.
Up to 85% of the world’s oil is adversely affected by paraffin wax precipitating out and solidifying at the wellbore, in tubing, perforations, pump strings, and rods, and throughout the transfer system of flowlines and pipelines (Figs. 1a, 1b, and 1c). Precipitation and deposition causes equipment failures, bottlenecks upstream and downstream, and loss of production, transport capacity, and storage.
Because of paraffin wax deposition, thousands of wells are shut in, numerous pipelines blocked, transport vessels taken out of service, tanks locked in, and refinery equipment shut down at any given time globally, all resulting in loss of revenue.
Common remedies such as the application of hot oil or hot water, mechanical scraping, and solvent cleaning can be cumbersome, costly, and hazardous. They also are effective only for short periods and soon need reapplications.
Paralax, a novel chemical treatment that controls wax precipitation, was developed by a small United States-based engineering firm that has been acquired by Diversitech Holdings. The treatment does not fit conventional wax-control chemical definitions. More than a dispersant, solvent, or inhibitor, the chemical works when mixed and activated with crude oil by a proprietary nanochemical mechanism and attacks wax differently.
Flushing wax with activated crude oil removes the wax by layers and creates a waxophobic (wax repelling) condition for an extended period. The chemistry is also environmentally friendly, being nontoxic and nonvolatile, and the activator is safe to handle. Spills can be washed down and no special handling requirements are needed.
The advantages of activated crude oil treatment over other dewaxing methods are
Significantly less labor for wax control, freeing personnel for other important tasks
Significantly less frequency of treatment
“Smart chemistry” that works by itself for 2 to 3 months after treatment when accompanied by proper maintenance to replenish waxophobic nanostructures
The benefits of the post-treatment waxophobic condition are
Extension of wax-free production time of up to 3 months
Lower load on pump, rod, and drive
Fewer workovers caused by wax, such as pump hang-ups and broken rods
Better well performance because of less wax in the tubing
Case Study: Subsea Pipeline
A dewaxing treatment was performed to clear a 28-mile, 8-in.-diameter subsea oil pipeline in the US Gulf of Mexico. Wax in the pipeline had gradually built up over 7 years and very aggressively in the final year. Various efforts had failed to prevent the buildup.
Development and Implementation of a Novel Sulfur Removal Process from H2S Containing Wastewaters
Authors: Daigger Glen T. , Hodgkinson Andrew , Aquilina Simon , Fries M. Kim 
Published: January 2015

ABSTRACT: A novel process for removing sulfur from wastewater containing dissolved sulfide has been developed and implemented in a membrane bioreactor (MBR) process treating anaerobically pretreated industrial (pulp and paper) wastewater at the Gippsland Water Factory. Controlled oxygen addition to the first bioreactor zone (constituting 27.7% of the total bioreactor volume) to create oxygen‐limiting conditions, followed by oxygen‐sufficient conditions in the remaining zones of the bioreactor, provide the necessary conditions. Dissolved sulfide is oxidized to elemental sulfur in the first zone, and the accumulated sulfur is retained in the bioreactor mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) in the remaining zones. Accumulated sulfur is removed from the process in the waste activated sludge (WAS). Oxidation of dissolved sulfide to elemental sulfur reduces the associated process oxygen requirement by 75% compared to oxidation to sulfate. Microscopic examinations confirm that biological accumulation of elemental sulfur occurs. Process performance was analyzed during a nearly 2‐year commissioning and optimization period. Addition of air in proportion to the process influent dissolved sulfide loading proved the most effective process control approach, followed by the maintenance of dissolved oxygen concentrations of 1.0 and 1.5 mg/L in the two downstream bioreactor zones. Sufficient oxygen is added for the stoichiometric conversion of dissolved sulfide to elemental sulfur. Enhanced biological phosphorus removal also occurred under these conditions, thereby simplifying supplemental phosphorus addition. These operating conditions also appear to lead to low and stable capillary suction time values for the MBR mixed liquor.
Deciphering Metabolic Messages From the Gut Drives Therapeutic Innovation: The 2014 Banting Lecture
Authors: Drucker Daniel J. 
Published: January 2015

The Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement is the highest scientific award of the American Diabetes Association (ADA). Given in memory of Sir Frederick Banting, one of the key investigators in the discovery of insulin, the Banting Medal is awarded annually for scientific excellence, recognizing significant long-term contributions to the understanding, treatment, or prevention of diabetes. Daniel J. Drucker, MD, of the Department of Medicine, Mount Sinai Hospital and the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, received the prestigious award at the ADA's 74th Scientific Sessions, 13–17 June 2014, in San Francisco, California. He presented the Banting Lecture, “Deciphering Metabolic Messages From the Gut Drives Therapeutic Innovation,” on Sunday, 15 June 2014.
Gut peptides convey nutrient-regulated signals to the enteric nervous system and to distal organs, acting as circulating hormones secreted in the basal and postprandial state. Here I provide an overview of the actions of glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 and GLP-2, the two major enteroendocrine L-cell peptides. The endogenous physiological actions of GLP-1 have been delineated using antagonists and Glp1r−/− mice and include the control of islet hormone secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, leading to improvement of fasting and postprandial glucose homeostasis. GLP-1 receptors (GLP-1Rs) are also widely distributed in multiple extrapancreatic organs, providing a mechanistic explanation for the nonglycemic actions attributed to GLP-1. The multiple metabolic actions of GLP-1 enable reduction of glycemia and body weight in diabetic and obese subjects, providing the opportunity to reduce glycemia in human subjects with diabetes with a low risk of hypoglycemia. GLP-2 plays a key role in the control of energy absorption and in the integrity of the intestinal mucosa, and a GLP-2R agonist, teduglutide, is now used for augmentation of energy absorption in parenteral nutrition–dependent subjects with short bowel syndrome. GLP-1 and GLP-2 are both cleaved by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4); hence, inhibition of DPP-4 activity enables yet another pathway for potentiation of incretin action and the therapy for type 2 diabetes. Here I review our 30-year experience with the elucidation of gut hormone action and, wherever possible, highlight therapeutic implications of our preclinical studies and future opportunities for incretin research.

AbstractAIMS – To investigate the lifetime prevalence and moderators of non-medical AAS use in the five Nordic countries. METHODS – We conducted a meta-analysis and meta-regression using studies gathered from searches in PsycINFO, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, Google Scholar, and reference checks. Included were 32 studies that provided original data on 48 lifetime prevalence rates based on a total of 233,475 inhabitants of the Nordic countries. RESULTS – The overall lifetime prevalence obtained was 2.1% [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3-3.4, I 2 = 99.5, P < 0.001]. The prevalence for males, 2.9% (95% CI: 1.7-4.8, I 2 = 99.2, P < 0.001), was significantly higher (Q
Application of DOI index to analysis of selected examples of resistivity imaging models in Quaternary sediments
Authors: Glazer Michał , Mendecki Maciej Jan , Mycka Mateusz 
Published: January 2015

AbstractInterpretation of resistivity cross sections may be in many cases unreliable due to the presence of artifacts left by the inversion process. One way to avoid erroneous conclusions about geological structure is creation of Depth of Investigation (DOI) index maps, which describe durability of prepared model with respect to variable parameters of inversion. To assess the usefulness of this interpretation methodology in resistivity imaging method over quaternary sediments, it has been used to one synthetic data set and three investigation sites. Two of the study areas were placed in the Upper Silesian Industrial District region: Bytom - Karb, Chorzów - Chorzow Stary; and one in the Southern Pomeranian Lake District across Piława River Valley. Basing on the available geological information the results show high utility of DOI index in analysis of received resistivity models, on which areas poorly constrained by data has been designated.
Mapping a Nursing Terminology Subset to open EHR Archetypes
Authors: Cook T. W. , Cavalini L. T. , Nogueira J. R. M. 
Published: January 2015

Summary
Background: Healthcare information technologies have the potential to transform nursing care. However, healthcare information systems based on conventional software architecture are not semantically interoperable and have high maintenance costs. Health informatics standards, such as controlled terminologies, have been proposed to improve healthcare information systems, but their implementation in conventional software has not been enough to overcome the current challenge. Such obstacles could be removed by adopting a multilevel model-driven approach, such as the open EHR specifications, in nursing information systems.
Objectives: To create an open EHR archetype model for the Functional Status concepts as published in Nursing Outcome Indicators Catalog of the International Classification for Nursing Practice (NOIC-ICNP).
Methods: Four methodological steps were followed: 1) extraction of terms from the NOICICNP terminology; 2) identification of previously published open EHR archetypes; 3) assessment of the adequacy of those open EHR archetypes to represent the terms; and 4) development of new open EHR archetypes when required.
Results: The “Barthel Index” archetype was retrieved and mapped to the 68 NOIC-ICNP Functional Status terms. There were 19 exact matches between a term and the correspondent archetype node and 23 archetype nodes that matched to one or more NOIC-INCP. No matches were found between the archetype and 14 of the NOIC-ICNP terms, and nine archetype nodes did not match any of the NOIC-ICNP terms.
Conclusions: The open EHR model was sufficient to represent the semantics of the Functional Status concept according to the NOICICNP, but there were differences in data granularity between the terminology and the archetype, thus producing a significantly complex mapping, which could be difficult to implement in real healthcare information systems. However, despite the technological complexity, the present study demonstrated the feasibility of mapping nursing terminologies to open EHR archetypes, which emphasizes the importance of adopting the multilevel model-driven approach for the achievement of semantic interoperability between healthcare information systems.
Barcoding of Live Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells for Multiplexed Mass Cytometry

Published: January 2015

Abstract
Mass cytometry is developing as a means of multiparametric single-cell analysis. In this study, we present an approach to barcoding separate live human PBMC samples for combined preparation and acquisition on a cytometry by time of flight instrument. Using six different anti-CD45 Ab conjugates labeled with Pd104, Pd106, Pd108, Pd110, In113, and In115, respectively, we barcoded up to 20 samples with unique combinations of exactly three different CD45 Ab tags. Cell events carrying more than or less than three different tags were excluded from analyses during Boolean data deconvolution, allowing for precise sample assignment and the electronic removal of cell aggregates. Data from barcoded samples matched data from corresponding individually stained and acquired samples, at cell event recoveries similar to individual sample analyses. The approach greatly reduced technical noise and minimizes unwanted cell doublet events in mass cytometry data, and it reduces wet work and Ab consumption. It also eliminates sample-to-sample carryover and the requirement of instrument cleaning between samples, thereby effectively reducing overall instrument runtime. Hence, CD45 barcoding facilitates accuracy of mass cytometric immunophenotyping studies, thus supporting biomarker discovery efforts, and it should be applicable to fluorescence flow cytometry as well.
The Trojan Lifetime Champions Health Survey: Development, Validity, and Reliability
Authors: Sorenson Shawn C. , Romano Russell , Scholefield Robin M. , Schroeder E. Todd , Azen Stanley P. , Salem George J. 
Published: January 2015

Context
Self-report questionnaires are an important method of evaluating lifespan health, exercise, and health-related quality of life (HRQL) outcomes among elite, competitive athletes. Few instruments, however, have undergone formal characterization of their psychometric properties within this population.

Objective
To evaluate the validity and reliability of a novel health and exercise questionnaire, the Trojan Lifetime Champions (TLC) Health Survey.

Design
Descriptive laboratory study.

Setting
A large National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I university.

Patients or Other Participants
A total of 63 university alumni (age range, 24 to 84 years), including former varsity collegiate athletes and a control group of nonathletes.

Intervention(s)
Participants completed the TLC Health Survey twice at a mean interval of 23 days with randomization to the paper or electronic version of the instrument.

Main Outcome Measure(s)
Content validity, feasibility of administration, test-retest reliability, parallel-form reliability between paper and electronic forms, and estimates of systematic and typical error versus differences of clinical interest were assessed across a broad range of health, exercise, and HRQL measures.

Results
Correlation coefficients, including intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for continuous variables and κ agreement statistics for ordinal variables, for test-retest reliability averaged 0.86, 0.90, 0.80, and 0.74 for HRQL, lifetime health, recent health, and exercise variables, respectively. Correlation coefficients, again ICCs and κ, for parallel-form reliability (ie, equivalence) between paper and electronic versions averaged 0.90, 0.85, 0.85, and 0.81 for HRQL, lifetime health, recent health, and exercise variables, respectively. Typical measurement error was less than the a priori thresholds of clinical interest, and we found minimal evidence of systematic test-retest error. We found strong evidence of content validity, convergent construct validity with the Short-Form 12 Version 2 HRQL instrument, and feasibility of administration in an elite, competitive athletic population.

Conclusions
These data suggest that the TLC Health Survey is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing lifetime and recent health, exercise, and HRQL, among elite competitive athletes. Generalizability of the instrument may be enhanced by additional, larger-scale studies in diverse populations.
Open-label observational study to assess the efficacy and safety of aprepitant for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting prophylaxis in Indian patients receiving chemotherapy with highly emetogenic chemotherapy/moderately emetogenic chemotherapy regimens
Authors: Hingmire Sachin , Raut Nirmal 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Context: Currently, there is limited data on the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in Indian population with aprepitant containing regimens. Aims: The aim was to assess the Efficacy and Safety of Aprepitant for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with highly emetogenic chemotherapy/moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC/MEC) regimens. Settings and Design: Investigator initiated, multicentric, open-label, prospective, noncomparative, observational trial. Subjects and Methods: Triple drug regimen with aprepitant, palonosetron, and dexamethasaone administration was assessed for the prevention of CINV during acute, delayed, and the overall phase (OP) for HEC/MEC Regimens. The primary endpoint was complete response (CR; no emesis and no use of rescue medication) and the key secondary endpoint was the complete control (CC; no emesis, no rescue medication and no more than mild nausea) during the OP. Statistical Analysis Used: Perprotocol efficacy was analyzed for the first cycle with results represented in terms of CR/CC rates using descriptive statistics. Results: Seventy-five patients were included in the study with median age of 49.7 years and 89.7% being females. The CR rate (OP) for patients administered HEC or MEC regimens during the first cycle were 92% and 90.9%, respectively. Similarly, the CC rates (OP) were 75% and 90% for these regimens, respectively. 7 (9.2%) patients reported adverse drug reactions that were mild and transient with no reports of any serious adverse events. Conclusions: Use of aprepitant containing regimen for patients receiving HEC/MEC regimen resulted in significantly high CR and CC response rates, which further consolidate its potential role to improve patient quality of life and compliance to disease management.

Published: January 2015

AbstractAdnexal tumors like giant solitary trichoepitheliomas are uncommon to most of us to permit a ready familiarity with them. Information regarding the genesis, clinical profile, behavior, and management options for this tumor is limited. There are 18 cases reported in the world literature till date. This review attempts to provide insight to this rare tumor. Our search included indexed literature from Pubmed, Directory of Open Access Journals, Health Inter Network Access to Research Initiative and Google databases in addition to standard dermatology texts. Giant solitary trichoepithelioma is a rare trichogenic tumor with potential for local recurrence. It has predilection for the older age, but may present at any age including at birth. It has close resemblance to basal cell carcinoma and other skin adnexal tumors - clinically, cytologically, and histologically. CD10, CD 34, PHLDA1 but not p75NTR are useful adjunct markers. Surgical excision is the standard treatment. Recurrence and possible transformation into BCC cautions follow up at regular intervals.
“Don’t Go Changing to Try and Please Me”: Combating Essentialism through Ethnography in the Ethnomusicology of Autism
Authors: Bakan Michael B. 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Abstract. Ethnomusicology is the study of how people make and experience music, and of why it matters to them that they do. Building from the epistemological foundations of the autistic self-advocacy and neurodiversity movements, as well as from the musical, ethnographic, and relativistic priorities of ethnomusicology itself, this article advances the position that our field, thus defined, is inherently well suited to the task of creating and sustaining vital, neurodiverse musical communities. The focus is on one such community, the Artism Ensemble, which serves as the basis of a case study featuring transcripts of dialogue with a child member of the group diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome.
