Análisis De Viabilidad Y Desafíos De La Implementación De Energías Renovables En La Isla De San Andrés (ERSA): Un Enfoque Hacia La Sostenibilidad Energética Insular
El Departamento Archipiélago de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina se enfrenta a desafíos significativos en términos de transición energética. Como parte del territorio insular de Colombia, este departamento depende en gran medida de los combustibles fósiles para su suministro energético, lo que contribuye a las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y al cambio climático. Sin embargo, el gobierno colombiano ha establecido metas ambiciosas para reducir las emisiones de GEI en un 51% para el año 2030, lo que requiere una transformación integral del sector energético en la región. La transición energética en el Archipiélago de San Andrés implica el cambio hacia fuentes de energía renovable y sostenible, así como la promoción de la eficiencia energética. Esto implica la implementación de políticas y regulaciones que fomenten el uso de energías limpias, así como la inversión en infraestructuras y tecnologías adecuadas. Además, es esencial promover la educación y la sensibilización sobre la importancia de la sostenibilidad y las energías renovables entre la población local. El seguimiento constante y las evaluaciones periódicas son fundamentales para garantizar el progreso y la efectividad de la transición energética en el Archipiélago de San Andrés. El monitoreo de las emisiones de GEI y la evaluación de los proyectos implementados son herramientas clave para identificar áreas de mejora y asegurar el cumplimiento de los objetivos establecidos. La normatividad clara, los incentivos financieros y el fortalecimiento de la capacidad técnica también son factores importantes para el éxito de esta transición
Sistema administrativo modular para restaurantes
No aplicaLos restaurantes enfrentan dificultades para analizar sus costos debido a la falta de un sistema de información adecuado. Esto puede hacer que sea difícil para los propietarios y gerentes de restaurantes identificar los costos de los productos y servicios y tomar decisiones informadas sobre los precios y la estrategia de negocios.
El manejo de inventario también se ve afectado por la falta de un sistema de información. Sin un sistema de seguimiento de inventario, los restaurantes pueden tener dificultades para saber qué productos están disponibles, cuánto se está gastando en ellos y cuándo es necesario reponerlos. Esto puede llevar a una sobrecarga de trabajo para los empleados y a un aumento de los costos de almacenamiento.
La falta de un sistema de información también puede dificultar la toma de decisiones en cuanto a la estrategia de negocio del restaurante, ya que no se cuenta con información precisa y actualizada sobre los costos y los inventarios.
Es importante para los restaurantes tener un sistema de información adecuado para poder analizar sus costos y manejar sus inventarios de manera eficiente. Esto puede incluir el uso de herramientas de software de gestión de inventarios y programas de contabilidad para ayudar a los propietarios y gerentes de restaurantes a tomar decisiones informadas sobre los precios y la estrategia de negocios.
En la actualidad se tiene diversos tipos de restaurantes, tenemos restaurantes de proporciones pequeñas de entrada y salida de usuarios, sin mesas para la atención, hasta restaurantes de grandes magnitudes, pensando en esto se ha logrado dividir un sistema administrativo en módulos, la definición de modulo nos muestra que es un componente de un software completo que es desarrollado de forma independiente para una función específica, el sistema que se propone en este caso, son módulo de ventas, módulo de inventario, módulo de compras, módulo de informes, todo pensando en la necesidad diferencial de cada lugar.
En resumen, se puede afirmar que la falta de un sistema de información adecuado en los restaurantes puede generar dificultades en el análisis de costos y en el manejo de inventarios, lo que se traduce en una mala toma de decisiones y en un aumento de los costos de almacenamiento y trabajo.Restaurants face difficulties in analyzing their costs due to the lack of an adequate information system. This can make it difficult for restaurant owners and managers to identify the costs of products and services and make informed decisions about pricing and business strategy.
Inventory management is also affected by the lack of an information system. Without an inventory tracking system, restaurants can have a hard time knowing what products are in stock, how much is being spent on them, and when they need to be restocked. This can lead to overwork for employees and increased storage costs.
The lack of an information system can also make it difficult to make decisions regarding the restaurant's business strategy, since there is no accurate and updated information on costs and inventories.
It is important for restaurants to have an adequate information system to be able to analyze their costs and manage their inventories efficiently. This may include the use of inventory management software tools and accounting programs to help restaurant owners and managers make informed decisions about pricing and business strategy.
At present there are various types of restaurants, we have restaurants of small proportions of entrance and exit of users, without tables for attention, even restaurants of large magnitudes, thinking about this, it has been possible to divide an administrative system into modules, the definition of module shows us that it is a component of a complete software that is developed independently for a specific function, the system that is proposed in this case, are sales module, inventory module, purchasing module, reporting module, all thinking in the differential need of each place.
In summary, it can be stated that the lack of an adequate information system in restaurants can generate difficulties in cost analysis and inventory management, which translates into poor decision making and increased costs. storage and work

Salivary cytokines as biomarkers of periodontal diseases
Periodontal disease is time consuming and expensive
to treat and therefore its prevention, early detection
and management are issues which, if effectively
addressed, are likely to yield considerable health-care
benefit (97). However, despite numerous advances in
our understanding of the pathogenesis of chronic
inflammatory diseases, periodontitis is still only diagnosed
once connective tissue and bone destruction
has occurred. Furthermore, monitoring disease progression
is a highly skilled and technically demanding
process, involving measurement of bleeding on probing,
probing depth and attachment loss coupled with
radiographic assessment and (subjective) visual
observations (76). It would be highly desirable to
develop biomarkers for early detection of periodontal
disease and to identify progression because current
diagnostic approaches do not reflect current disease
activity but simply assess the cumulative effects of
historical tissue destruction (53). Rational diagnosis
would also have concomitant patient benefit because
the paucity of evidence-based knowledge of disease
progression in individual patients may lead to unintentional
clinical mismanagement (97). In addition,
studies of the salivary mediators associated with disease
may help in the development of novel therapies
aimed at controlling cytokine bioavailability (e.g.
through anti-cytokine antibodies, antagonists or soluble
receptors) or by targeting the intracellular signaling
pathways they activate, approaches which have
been successful in the treatment of other chronic
inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis
(60, 91, 95).
Cytokines have been defined as soluble factors produced
by one (immune) cell that act on another cell
within the same milieu (26). However, it is now recognized
that the range of molecules with cytokine-like
activity can be extended to include, for example,
growth factors and adipokines, which also have
immunoregulatory functions. Importantly, cytokine
functions often overlap or merge, building a complex
immunoregulatory network in the immune system
that is often perturbed in disease. It is increasingly
appreciated that cytokines have vital roles in the
development and homeostasis of numerous cell types
and, in a wide range of tissues, have roles in resolution
of inflammation, wound healing, repair and
regeneration. In the following review, the term ‘cytokine’
will be used in this broad context. In addition
to direct analysis of cytokines, the levels of molecules
such as matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitors
of metalloproteinases, which are regulated by
cytokines, have also been given considerable attention
as potential periodontitis biomarkers, as
reviewed elsewhere in this volume of Periodontology

Wnt5a Regulates Midbrain Dopaminergic Axon Growth and Guidance
During development, precise temporal and spatial gradients are responsible for
guiding axons to their appropriate targets. Within the developing ventral
midbrain (VM) the cues that guide dopaminergic (DA) axons to their forebrain
targets remain to be fully elucidated. Wnts are morphogens that have been
identified as axon guidance molecules. Several Wnts are expressed in the VM
where they regulate the birth of DA neurons. Here, we describe that a precise
temporo-spatial expression of Wnt5a accompanies the development of nigrostriatal
projections by VM DA neurons. In mice at E11.5, Wnt5a is
expressed in the VM where it was found to promote DA neurite and axonal growth
in VM primary cultures. By E14.5, when DA axons are approaching their striatal
target, Wnt5a causes DA neurite retraction in primary cultures. Co-culture of VM
explants with Wnt5a-overexpressing cell aggregates revealed that Wnt5a is
capable of repelling DA neurites. Antagonism experiments revealed that the
effects of Wnt5a are mediated by the Frizzled receptors and by the small GTPase,
Rac1 (a component of the non-canonical Wnt planar cell polarity pathway).
Moreover, the effects were specific as they could be blocked by Wnt5a antibody,
sFRPs and RYK-Fc. The importance of Wnt5a in DA axon morphogenesis was further
verified in Wnt5a−/− mice, where
fasciculation of the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) as well as the density of DA
neurites in the MFB and striatal terminals were disrupted. Thus, our results
identify a novel role of Wnt5a in DA axon growth and guidance
Measurement of the J/ photoproduction cross section over the full near-threshold kinematic region
We report the total and differential cross sections for
photoproduction with the large acceptance GlueX spectrometer for photon beam
energies from the threshold at 8.2~GeV up to 11.44~GeV and over the full
kinematic range of momentum transfer squared, . Such coverage facilitates
the extrapolation of the differential cross sections to the forward ()
point beyond the physical region. The forward cross section is used by many
theoretical models and plays an important role in understanding
photoproduction and its relation to the proton interaction. These
measurements of photoproduction near threshold are also crucial inputs
to theoretical models that are used to study important aspects of the gluon
structure of the proton, such as the gluon Generalized Parton Distribution
(GPD) of the proton, the mass radius of the proton, and the trace anomaly
contribution to the proton mass. We observe possible structures in the total
cross section energy dependence and find evidence for contributions beyond
gluon exchange in the differential cross section close to threshold, both of
which are consistent with contributions from open-charm intermediate states.Comment: 15 pages 18 figure
Low-Energy Physics in Neutrino LArTPCs
In this white paper, we outline some of the scientific opportunities and challenges related to detection and reconstruction of low-energy (less than 100 MeV) signatures in liquid argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) detectors. Key takeaways are summarized as follows. 1) LArTPCs have unique sensitivity to a range of physics and astrophysics signatures via detection of event features at and below the few tens of MeV range. 2) Low-energy signatures are an integral part of GeV-scale accelerator neutrino interaction final states, and their reconstruction can enhance the oscillation physics sensitivities of LArTPC experiments. 3) BSM signals from accelerator and natural sources also generate diverse signatures in the low-energy range, and reconstruction of these signatures can increase the breadth of BSM scenarios accessible in LArTPC-based searches. 4) Neutrino interaction cross sections and other nuclear physics processes in argon relevant to sub-hundred-MeV LArTPC signatures are poorly understood. Improved theory and experimental measurements are needed. Pion decay-at-rest sources and charged particle and neutron test beams are ideal facilities for experimentally improving this understanding. 5) There are specific calibration needs in the low-energy range, as well as specific needs for control and understanding of radiological and cosmogenic backgrounds. 6) Novel ideas for future LArTPC technology that enhance low-energy capabilities should be explored. These include novel charge enhancement and readout systems, enhanced photon detection, low radioactivity argon, and xenon doping. 7) Low-energy signatures, whether steady-state or part of a supernova burst or larger GeV-scale event topology, have specific triggering, DAQ and reconstruction requirements that must be addressed outside the scope of conventional GeV-scale data collection and analysis pathways
