description: © Mikaela Backman, Charlie Karlsson and Orsa Kekezi 2019. All rights reserved. Senior entrepreneurship is the fastest growing sector of entrepreneurship in Australia, and this chapter identifies the scope and impact of senior entrepreneurship. A high prevalence of senior entrepreneur activity is linked to positive economic and social benefits, aligned to motivation, attitudes, skills, opportunities, success, engagement, barriers, benefits, education and training, government support, life adaptations and other emergent senior entrepreneurship themes. Using data from significant entrepreneurship databases and Australian studies on this phenomenon, the analysis combines nuances specific to Australian senior entrepreneurs, together with suggestions for policy-makers and nascent senior entrepreneurs.
Modeling Flight Attendants’ Exposure to Secondhand Smoke in Commercial Aircraft: Historical Trends from 1955 to 1989

description: Flight attendants were exposed to elevated levels of secondhand smoke (SHS) in commercial aircraft when smoking was allowed on planes. During flight attendants’ working years, their occupational SHS exposure was influenced by various factors, including the prevalence of active smokers on planes, fliers’ smoking behaviors, airplane flight load factors, and ventilation systems. These factors have likely changed over the past six decades and would affect SHS concentrations in commercial aircraft. However, changes in flight attendants’ exposure to SHS have not been examined in the literature. This study estimates the magnitude of the changes and the historic trends of flight attendants’ SHS exposure in U.S. domestic commercial aircraft by integrating historical changes of contributing factors. Mass balance models were developed and evaluated to estimate flight attendants’ exposure to SHS in passenger cabins, as indicated by two commonly used tracers (airborne nicotine and particulate matter (PM)). Monte Carlo simulations integrating historical trends and distributions of influence factors were used to simulate 10,000 flight attendants’ exposure to SHS on commercial flights from 1955 to 1989. These models indicate that annual mean SHS PM concentrations to which flight attendants were exposed in passenger cabins steadily decreased from approximately 265 μg/m3 in 1955 and 1960 to 93 μg/m3 by 1989, and airborne nicotine exposure among flight attendants also decreased from 11.1 μg/m3 in 1955 to 6.5 μg/m3 in 1989. Using duration of employment as an indicator of flight attendants’ cumulative occupational exposure to SHS in epidemiological studies would inaccurately assess their lifetime exposures and thus bias the relationship between the exposure and health effects. This historical trend should be considered in future epidemiological studies.

description: ABSTRACTCongenital heart defects represent the most common malformation at birth, occurring also in ˜50% of individuals with Down syndrome. Congenital heart defects are thought to have multifactorial etiology, but the main causes are largely unknown. We have explored the global methylation profile of fetal heart DNA in comparison to blood DNA from control subjects: an absolute correlation with the type of tissue was detected. Pathway analysis revealed a significant enrichment of differential methylation at genes related to muscle contraction and cardiomyopathies in the developing heart DNA. We have also searched for abnormal methylation profiles on developing heart-tissue DNA of syndromic and non-syndromic congenital heart defects. On average, 3 regions with aberrant methylation were detected per sample and 18 regions were found differentially methylated between groups. Several epimutations were detected in candidate genes involved in growth regulation, apoptosis and folate pathway. A likely pathogenic hypermethylation of several intragenic sites at the MSX1 gene, involved in outflow tract morphogenesis, was found in a fetus with isolated heart malformation. In addition, hypermethylation of the GATA4 gene was present in fetuses with Down syndrome with or without congenital heart defects, as well as in fetuses with isolated heart malformations. Expression deregulation of the abnormally methylated genes was detected. Our data indicate that epigenetic alterations of relevant genes are present in developing heart DNA in fetuses with both isolated and syndromic heart malformations. These epimutations likely contribute to the pathogenesis of the malformation by cis-acting effects on gene expression.

description: The map of lakes and selected glacier-related landforms in Huascarán National Park was created describing their spatial distribution and selected properties related to their development. This work presents additional information on previous lake inventories that was not available prior to its completion despite the fact that some of the newly collected information is important for glacial lake flood hazard assessment. The ongoing environmental changes documented in the national park are affecting the number, size, spatial distribution and development of the glacial lakes. Many of the lakes are also filled with sediment, as well as subject to outburst floods. The lake typology is based on the character of their dam, whilst moraine ridge types are defined with specific geomorphological features that affect their stability. Over 1250 moraine ridges (longer than 200 m) were mapped and classified along with 2370 lakes each with a specific dam type. This represents the most detailed inventory which can be used for future statistical analysis or hazard assessment.

Chapter abstract: An effect size is simply an amount of something of interest. It can be as simple as a mean, a percentage increase, or a correlation; or it may be a regression weight, a standardized measure of a difference, or the percentage of variance accounted for. Most research questions in the social sciences are best answered by finding estimated effect sizes, meaning point estimates of the true effect sizes in the population. Grissom and Kim (2012) provided a comprehensive discussion of effect sizes, and ways to calculate effect size estimates. Our discussion mainly focuses on experimental designs, but much of the discussion is relevant also to other types of research.

description: ‘Potencial para la Restauración Biocultural del “río Chiquito” en Avenida Solidaridad, Morelia, Michoacán’
 Las problemáticas socio-ecológicas a las que nos enfrentamos actualmente exigen un nuevo pensamiento para entender la intricada red de procesos ecológicos y sociales que se manifiestan, sus interrelaciones, implicaciones y posibles soluciones. De forma urgente la planeación urbana es una necesidad para que los núcleos de población sean diseñados desde una perspectiva de resiliencia y sustentabilidad. Las inundaciones y la falta de agua representan, por un lado, la desconexión de los procesos naturales durante la planeación urbana, y por otro, una gran oportunidad para instar a la conservación de espacios verdes dentro y alrededor de las ciudades. La presente investigación se genera desde los enfoques de la hidrología urbana y de la restauración biocultural, en ella se aborda la importancia para la planeación desde el papel social, cultural, biológico e hidrológico que tienen las áreas verdes.
 El sitio de estudio corresponde al caudal del río Chiquito localizado en la ciudad de Morelia, Michoacán. El análisis de la historia ambiental del sitio, la revisión de propuestas previas para modificaciones del caudal y las riberas, estudios hidrológicos previos y el marco legal competente para el sitio llevaron a la generación de propuestas para la restauración biocultural del río Chiquito. Un mayor entendimiento de la problemática fue posible mediante el acercamiento al fenómeno social utilizando herramientas de corte cualitativo tales como entrevistas semiestructuradas y observación participante; la generación de propuestas que toman en cuenta el marco legal del sitio de estudio buscan hacerlas plausibles.
 Con el presente trabajo se hace una propuesta integral para lograr una restauración biocultural de un sitio con potencial para la provisión de servicios ecosistémicos de soporte, regulación, provisión y culturales por parte del río Chiquito en la ciudad de Morelia.

description: El documento evalúa el desempeño, la eficiencia y la productividad de las empresas de distribución de energía eléctrica en Colombia antes y después de la reforma regulatoria de 1994, para 12 compañías de distribución entre 1985 y 2001. El desempeño se evalúa al contrastar cambios en medias y medianas mediante las pruebas de Wilcoxon Rank-Sum y Pearson, sobre indicadores financieros y de desempeño. La eficiencia técnica se mide con la metodología de Data Evelopment Análisis (DEA). La naturaleza de los datos permita la estimación de índice de productividad de Malmquist y su evolución en el tiempo. Los resultados muestran una recuperación después de la reforma en los indicadores de ganancias, productividad parcial de insumos y del producto. La eficiencia y productividad aumento después de la reforma, principalmente en las empresas de mayor tamaño que se usan como empresas de referencia en las medidas de eficiencia DEA. Así mismo, las empresas menos eficientes no mejoraron después de la reforma y no lograron llevar a cabo una reestructuración para lograr alcanzar la eficiencia individual respecto a las distribuciones Pareto eficientes. La evaluación econométrica sobre los indicadores de eficiencia DEA sugieren un efecto positivo generado por las políticas de reforma.

description: The yeast community was studied in a municipal full-scale membrane bioreactor wastewater treatment plant (MBR-WWTP). The unexpectedly high diversity of yeasts indicated that the activated sludge formed a suitable environment for them to proliferate, with cellular concentrations of 2.2 ± 0.8 × 103 CFU ml−1. Sixteen species of seven genera were present in the biological reactor, with Ascomycetes being the most prevalent group (93%). Most isolates were able to grow in a synthetic wastewater medium, adhere to polyethylene surfaces, and develop biofilms of variable complexity. The relationship between yeast populations and the protists in the MBR-WWTP was also studied, revealing that some protist species preyed on and ingested yeasts. These results suggest that yeast populations may play a role in the food web of a WWTP and, to some extent, contribute to membrane biofouling in MBR systems.

description: Clematis gouriana (Ranunculaceae), a perennial herb, is used by the local inhabitants of the western Himalayan region for its medicinal properties. Major bioconstituents of C. gouriana leaves using different solvent extracts were obtained and analysed. The results revealed promising contents of phenolics (from 18.19 ± 0.10 to 22.17 ± 0.10 mg g− 1) as gallic acid and flavonoids (from 2.83 ± 0.01 to 6.52 ± 0.08 mg g− 1) as quercetin equivalent in different extracts. Aqueous acetone extract showed higher antioxidant activity with IC50 value of 129.11 and 25.35 μg mL− 1 against DPPH and ABTS free radicals, respectively. Antioxidant yield ranged from 16.87 ± 0.27 to 24.48 ± 0.13 mg g− 1 of Trolox equivalent in different extracts as measured by the FRAP assay. Furthermore, ethylacetate extract exhibited strong in vitro cytotoxicity against Chinese hamster ovary and glioma cell lines. Proximate composition (proteins, fats, ash and minerals) of C. gouriana leaves was also assessed. Results demonstrated the potential of C. gouriana bioconstituents as nutraceuticals.
The causes of illegal drug industry growth in the Andes, Anti-Drug Policies and their effectiveness
Creators: name: Thoumi, Francisco E.
Publisher: name: Universidad del Rosario
Year: 2005

description: Illegal drugs have become a key and conflictive policy issue in the Andean countries. Anti-drug polices are today part of government policy agendas and the object of frequent debate. In 1961 the United Nations signed the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. This was followed by the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Drugs and the 1988 Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances. In1972 President Nixon declared a “war on drugs” raising drug issues in the policy agenda of the United States and other countries. It is clear that governments’ have been attempting to control and regulate mind-altering drugs use for a long time. Their results, however, have been at best highly questionable. Today cocaine and heroin are widely available, new drugs have appeared in the market, new markets have developed and new criminal and subversive organizations entered the illegal drug business. Advocates of current policies would argue that without them things would be worse. Those who oppose them content that policies themselves are at fault and have contributed to increase the social costs of drug production, trafficking and consumption. The debate about anti-drug policy effectiveness most of the time is emotionally charged and does not advance the understanding of drug phenomena. This essay analyses the nature of the drug policy formulation problem, describes a theory of competitive advantage in illicit drugs, draws some policy implications from this theory, analyses the characteristics of the main drug producing countries that make them prone to develop the illicit drugs industry, surveys the evolution of anti-drug policies in the Andean countries, discuses some of the main challenges confronted by the policies currently used, summarizes the main effects that the illegal drug industry development have had on those countries, assesses the viability of drug policy reform and makes a few suggestions to marginally modify some policies and to improve policy dialogue as a pre-requisite to improve drug policy effectiveness.

description: Las actividades ilegales constituyen un foco de atención importante para las políticas públicas de cualquier sociedad moderna. En Colombia, las manifestaciones delictivas se han incrementado hasta alcanzar niveles preocupantes. En los censos sobre cultivos ilícitos para 2005 y 2006 la ONUDD muestra cómo en pocas décadas Colombia se ha convertido en el primer cultivador de coca y en el primer exportador de clorhidrato de cocaína del mundo. La misma agencia deja ver que en el país ha existido cierta especialización en el tráfico ilegal de armas (ONUDD, 2006). Otras muestras sobre crecimiento de la actividad delincuencial se evidencian en que las organizaciones criminales que operan en el país han desarrollado técnicas avanzadas para producir dólares y pasaportes falsos, estos últimos demandados por miembros de organizaciones terroristas internacionales (BBC, 2006), al tiempo que han desarrollado sofisticados sistemas de lavado de dinero, piratería de libros, música y video.

description: Uncertainty is inherent to our knowledge about the state of the world yet often not communicated alongside scientific facts and numbers. In the "posttruth" era where facts are increasingly contested, a common assumption is that communicating uncertainty will reduce public trust. However, a lack of systematic research makes it difficult to evaluate such claims. We conducted five experiments-including one preregistered replication with a national sample and one field experiment on the BBC News website (total n = 5,780)-to examine whether communicating epistemic uncertainty about facts across different topics (e.g., global warming, immigration), formats (verbal vs. numeric), and magnitudes (high vs. low) influences public trust. Results show that whereas people do perceive greater uncertainty when it is communicated, we observed only a small decrease in trust in numbers and trustworthiness of the source, and mostly for verbal uncertainty communication. These results could help reassure all communicators of facts and science that they can be more open and transparent about the limits of human knowledge.

description: El artículo describe el programa de privatización en el sector real de la economía Colombiana durante los años noventa y ubica esta política en un contexto de desregulación de mercados y promoción de la inversión privada en la oferta de infraestructura publica y servicios públicos domiciliarios. El articulo evalúa el programa de privatización en los sectores manufacturero y de generación de energía eléctrica. Se hacen mediciones ex - post y análisis econométrico del desempeño de las firmas privatizadas. En el sector manufacturero la muestra analizada esta compuesta por 30 firmas manufactureras de gran tamaño, donde el Instituto de Fomento Industrial era socio fundador. Los principales resultados sugieren que estas firmas mantuvieron un comportamiento pro - cíclico relativo a su principal competidor privado y desestimaron planes drásticos de reestructuración operativa. Para el grupo de firmas de generación de energía el articulo estudia el impacto de la reforma regulatoria en el proceso de entrada al mercado, estructura de propiedad, competencia de mercado y eficiencia productiva. La medición de eficiencia productiva usa la técnica de Data Envelope Análisis para 33 plantas que representan el 85% de la capacidad instalada en la generación térmica de energía eléctrica. La muestra esta compuesta por plantas que estaban en funcionamiento antes de la reforma y las entrantes que comenzaron su operación comercial después de la reforma. Los resultados sugieren que los niveles de evidencia en la generación térmica a mejorado después de la reforma y que la política regulatoria ha tenido un efecto positivo en la eficiencia productiva.

Pulmonary Hypertension Experimental

description: Increased risk and severity of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH) is associated with elevated estradiol in men and postmenopausal women. Pulmonary arteries synthesise estradiol via aromatase and metabolise it via CYP1B1 to mitogenic metabolites; SNPs in aromatase and CYP1B1 have been associated with PAH. This suggests that estradiol metabolism could be altered in iPAH. This proof-of-concept study profiles estradiol and several metabolites of estradiol simultaneously in serum from iPAH patients and controls. We show that the estradiol and metabolite profile is altered in iPAH and that 16-hydroxyestrone and 16-hydroxyestradiol accumulate in iPAH patients with 16-hydroxyestrone levels relating to disease severity.

description: En junio de 2000 el Departamento Nacional de Estadística de Colombia adopto una nueva definición de medición de desempleo siguiendo los estándares sugeridos por la organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT). El cambio de definición implico una reducción de la tasa de desempleo en cerca de dos puntos porcentuales. En este documento contrastamos la experiencia colombiana con otra experiencias internacionales, y analizamos las implicaciones empíricas y teóricas de este cambio de definición usando dos tipos de estimaciones cuantitativas: en la primera se contrasta las principales características de las diferentes categorías clasificadas según la definición nueva y vieja de desempleo (empleado, desempleado y fuera de la fuerza laboral) usando el algoritmo EM; en la segunda se pone a prueba la implicación del desempleo estructural y su relación con el perfil educacional de personas desempleadas y las características teóricas que enfrentan los estándares de la OIT en la definición de empleo.
Technical education in England, Germany and France in the nineteenth century : a comparison

description: Este documento describe el desarrollo de la educación técnica en Inglaterra, Alemania y Francia durante el siglo XIX, contrastando sus similaridades y diferencias. También analiza el papel del Estado en la provisión de educación técnica en estos países. El artículo sugiere que el alto estándar científico y técnico en la enseñanza, contribuyó significativamente para que el país se convirtiera en una potencia económica. Por ejemplo, la creciente superioridad técnica de los alemanes sobre los británicos en actividades como producción química, tinturas, hierro y acero, ha sido atribuida al hecho de que los británicos persistieron en el uso de métodos empíricos que representaban una barrera para alcanzar mejoras y adaptación, mientras que los alemanes desarrollaron un sistema de educación universitario y politécnico con fuertes lazos industriales que le permitían convertirse en la potencia industrial mas grande de Europa al inicio del Siglo XX.

Pobreza, empleo y distribución del ingreso en las zonas rurales de Colombia, durante la década de 1990. Una revisión de literatura

description: En este trabajo se examinan los más importantes estudios realizados sobre la pobreza, el empleo y la distribución del ingreso en zonas rurales de Colombia, con especial referencia a la década de 1990. Aunque hay cierta dificultad para identificar los “hechos estilizados” que caracterizan la evolución de estas variables,durante el período de interés, los resultados de la revisión permiten indicar lo siguiente: la pobreza rural tiendea disminuir en el largo plazo, aunque se ve afectada negativamente por el ciclo económico y por la forma como interactúa con el resto de la economía. El empleo rural disminuye su participación en el empleo total y tiende a adquirir características que lo asimilan más al empleo urbano, en la medida en que parece “terciarizarce”.Existe un sesgo antirural que determina que la brecha de ingresos rural-urbana se amplíe secularmente; en tanto que las reformas económicas introducidas a comienzos de la década tuvieron una incidencia positiva en la disminución de la concentración del ingreso rural.

description: Reinforced concrete (RC) walls and building cores are widely used lateral load resisting systems for low, mid and high-rise buildings in lower seismic regions, such as Australia. Traditionally, RC walls and cores were constructed using monolithic cast in-situ elements. However, in recent years, precast concrete walls and cores have become increasingly popular, particularly jointed precast building cores. Precast building cores consist of individual rectangular panels that are cast off-site and then transported and erected on-site. The panels are connected together using welded stitch plate (WSP) connections, which are used to transfer vertical shear forces between adjacent panels to allow the individual panels to act compositely together as one element. This paper presents the findings of a recent experimental and analytical study into the performance and behaviour of WSP connections in jointed precast building cores in lower seismic regions. The paper will initially provide an overview of the experimental assessment performed on a typical WSP connection using the MAST system at Swinburne University of Technology. The paper will then conclude with an introduction into the current analytical work currently being performed to better understand the behaviour of these connections.

description: Cell invasion allows cells to migrate across compartment boundaries formed by basement membranes. Aberrant cell invasion is a first step during the formation of metastases by malignant cancer cells. Anchor cell (AC) invasion in C. elegans is an excellent in vivo model to study the regulation of cell invasion during development. Here, we have examined the function of egl-43, the homolog of the human Evi1 proto-oncogene (also called MECOM), in the invading AC. egl-43 plays a dual role in this process, firstly by imposing a G1 cell cycle arrest to prevent AC proliferation, and secondly, by activating pro-invasive gene expression. We have identified the AP-1 transcription factor fos-1 and the Notch homolog lin-12 as critical egl-43 targets. A positive feedback loop between fos-1 and egl-43 induces pro-invasive gene expression in the AC, while repression of lin-12 Notch expression by egl-43 ensures the G1 cell cycle arrest necessary for invasion. Reducing lin-12 levels in egl-43 depleted animals restored the G1 arrest, while hyperactivation of lin-12 signaling in the differentiated AC was sufficient to induce proliferation. Taken together, our data have identified egl-43 Evi1 as an important factor coordinating cell invasion with cell cycle arrest.
