    Plan de Negocio para determinar la viabilidad econ?mica financiera de una aplicaci?n m?vil/web, cuyo uso permita la reducci?n de la capacidad ociosa de los consultorios odontol?gicos de Lima Metropolitana aplicando econom?a compartida. Existen dos posibilidades, alquilar los consultorios a odont?logos con cartera de pacientes, o contratar personal por horas si ya se tienen pacientes, de modo que se use la infraestructura y equipos disponibles, minimizando tiempos muertos de atenci?n. En Lima existe sobrepoblaci?n de odont?logos, alta informalidad y guerra de precios. Los consultorios son de alto costo en su implementaci?n y est?n regidos bajo estrictas normas de larga tramitaci?n. La investigaci?n determin? aspectos que valora el p?blico objetivo: inmediatez en el servicio, adecuada organizaci?n y b?squeda personalizada, calendario de disponibilidad de consultorios y del personal y el ranking de calificaciones generador de confianza. La plataforma es sostenible con un modelo freemium, v?a el cobro de una suscripci?n mensual (S/.30), y la opci?n de cuentas gratuitas con funcionalidades limitadas. El negocio tiene alto potencial de crecimiento debido a que anualmente entran 1,200 odont?logos al mercado. Adem?s el modelo puede replicarse en otras ciudades como Tacna y Cusco, e incluso en pa?ses como Colombia y Ecuador

    Plan de negocios para determinar la viabilidad econ?mica de un marketplace para promover hospedajes no categorizados

    Plan H es una plataforma digital enfocada en brindar servicios a los due?os de los hospedajes no categorizados para conseguir clientes y a la vez ayuda a los usuarios a encontrar hospedajes cercanos y consultar la disponibilidad. Plan H permite a los hospedajes mostrarse en los ambientes digitales y redes sociales en lo referente a sus instalaciones, informaci?n del establecimiento y rese?as de sus hu?spedes. Como parte del servicio hacia los usuarios, Plan H les presenta alternativas de hospedajes, sus costos y gracias a la geolocalizaci?n les muestra opciones de hospedajes cercanas a ?l. El servicio hacia los due?os de hospedajes es pagado por una suscripci?n mensual y un upgrade de plan para tener campa?as digitales en los portales de Redes Sociales de Plan H; y el servicio para los usuarios es gratuito. Al inicio del funcionamiento de la plataforma, Plan H har? el levantamiento y registro gratuito de los hospedajes en el sistema para ofrecer, desde un comienzo, al usuario alternativas de hospedajes, y con el tiempo esa presencia ser? reemplazada y posicionada por los hospedajes que se suscriban a la plataforma. Plan H se busca posicionar como la mejor herramienta para ubicar hospedajes no categorizados

    A scanning electron microscopic study of hypercementosis

    Get PDF
    The purpose of this study was to evaluate morphological characteristics of teeth with hypercementosis that are relevant to endodontic practice. Twenty-eight extracted teeth with hypercementosis had their root apexes analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The teeth were divided according to tooth groups and type of hypercementosis. The following aspects were examined under SEM: the contour and regularity of the root surface; presence of resorption; presence and number of apical foramina, and the diameter of the main foramen. The progression of club shape hypercementosis was directly associated with the presence of foramina and apical foramen obstruction. Cases of focal hypercementosis presented foramina on the surface, even when sidelong located in the root. Circular cementum hyperplasia form was present in 2 out of 3 residual roots, which was the highest proportion among the tooth types. The detection of a large number of foramina in the apical third of teeth with hypercementosis or even the possible existence of apical foramen obliteration contributes to understand the difficulties faced during endodontic treatment of these cases

    Acute kidney disease and renal recovery : consensus report of the Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) 16 Workgroup

    Get PDF
    Consensus definitions have been reached for both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and these definitions are now routinely used in research and clinical practice. The KDIGO guideline defines AKI as an abrupt decrease in kidney function occurring over 7 days or less, whereas CKD is defined by the persistence of kidney disease for a period of > 90 days. AKI and CKD are increasingly recognized as related entities and in some instances probably represent a continuum of the disease process. For patients in whom pathophysiologic processes are ongoing, the term acute kidney disease (AKD) has been proposed to define the course of disease after AKI; however, definitions of AKD and strategies for the management of patients with AKD are not currently available. In this consensus statement, the Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) proposes definitions, staging criteria for AKD, and strategies for the management of affected patients. We also make recommendations for areas of future research, which aim to improve understanding of the underlying processes and improve outcomes for patients with AKD

    Search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at √ s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    Get PDF
    Results of a search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum are reported. The search uses 20.3 fb−1 of √ s = 8 TeV data collected in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events are required to have at least one jet with pT > 120 GeV and no leptons. Nine signal regions are considered with increasing missing transverse momentum requirements between Emiss T > 150 GeV and Emiss T > 700 GeV. Good agreement is observed between the number of events in data and Standard Model expectations. The results are translated into exclusion limits on models with either large extra spatial dimensions, pair production of weakly interacting dark matter candidates, or production of very light gravitinos in a gauge-mediated supersymmetric model. In addition, limits on the production of an invisibly decaying Higgs-like boson leading to similar topologies in the final state are presente

    Search for direct pair production of the top squark in all-hadronic final states in proton-proton collisions at s√=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    Get PDF
    The results of a search for direct pair production of the scalar partner to the top quark using an integrated luminosity of 20.1fb−1 of proton–proton collision data at √s = 8 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC are reported. The top squark is assumed to decay via t˜→tχ˜01 or t˜→ bχ˜±1 →bW(∗)χ˜01 , where χ˜01 (χ˜±1 ) denotes the lightest neutralino (chargino) in supersymmetric models. The search targets a fully-hadronic final state in events with four or more jets and large missing transverse momentum. No significant excess over the Standard Model background prediction is observed, and exclusion limits are reported in terms of the top squark and neutralino masses and as a function of the branching fraction of t˜ → tχ˜01 . For a branching fraction of 100%, top squark masses in the range 270–645 GeV are excluded for χ˜01 masses below 30 GeV. For a branching fraction of 50% to either t˜ → tχ˜01 or t˜ → bχ˜±1 , and assuming the χ˜±1 mass to be twice the χ˜01 mass, top squark masses in the range 250–550 GeV are excluded for χ˜01 masses below 60 GeV
