Prototipo de un sistema electronico de alumbrado autosuficiente con uso de energia solar-eolica y tecnologia LED aplicada a la luminaria ubicada en la Cra 10 No 12A junto a al porteria de la UNIMINUTO

Desarrollar un sistema electrónico de auto-iluminación, que utiliza energías renovables arriba, a través del panel solar y generador eólico; Que tendrá la tarea de generar electricidad para que el sistema funcione correctamente las 24 horas del día, también estará equipado con varios dispositivos analógicos y digitales que ayudan a hacer el proceso mucho más rápido y eficiente que otros sistemas existentes. Este sistema de auto-energización de la luminaria LED que su tecnología es más eficiente y tiene una vida útil más larga, bombillas, de sodio de alta presión actualmente utilizado en alumbrado público en el municipio de Girardot. Esto conduce a generar una iluminación adecuada para peatones, ciclistas y automóviles que pasan por las diferentes zonas de la ciudad. Su ámbito de aplicación se basará en lo definido en las Normas Técnicas de Iluminación y Alumbrado Público (RETILAP), que define quién es considerado alumbrado público y qué no, lo que conduce no sólo a trabajar en el sector público sino también a la copropietaria en su iluminación exterior

Epigenome-wide meta-analysis of blood DNA methylation in newborns and children identifies numerous loci related to gestational age

Background Preterm birth and shorter duration of pregnancy are associated with increased morbidity in neonatal and later life. As the epigenome is known to have an important role during fetal development, we investigated associations between gestational age and blood DNA methylation in children. Methods We performed meta-analysis of Illumina's HumanMethylation450-array associations between gestational age and cord blood DNA methylation in 3648 newborns from 17 cohorts without common pregnancy complications, induced delivery or caesarean section. We also explored associations of gestational age with DNA methylation measured at 4-18 years in additional pediatric cohorts. Follow-up analyses of DNA methylation and gene expression correlations were performed in cord blood. DNA methylation profiles were also explored in tissues relevant for gestational age health effects: fetal brain and lung. Results We identified 8899 CpGs in cord blood that were associated with gestational age (range 27-42 weeks), at Bonferroni significance, P <1.06 x 10(- 7), of which 3343 were novel. These were annotated to 4966 genes. After restricting findings to at least three significant adjacent CpGs, we identified 1276 CpGs annotated to 325 genes. Results were generally consistent when analyses were restricted to term births. Cord blood findings tended not to persist into childhood and adolescence. Pathway analyses identified enrichment for biological processes critical to embryonic development. Follow-up of identified genes showed correlations between gestational age and DNA methylation levels in fetal brain and lung tissue, as well as correlation with expression levels. Conclusions We identified numerous CpGs differentially methylated in relation to gestational age at birth that appear to reflect fetal developmental processes across tissues. These findings may contribute to understanding mechanisms linking gestational age to health effects.Peer reviewe

Primer Encuentro Internacional de Experiencias de Investigación en Ciencias Administrativas

Este evento de investigación organizado por la Escuela de Administración de la Universidad del Rosario surgió como una iniciativa para fomentar la investigación formativa en áreas administrativas. El evento, al que asistieron 165 participantes, contó con dos conferencias centrales, 30 ponencias presentadas en 8 simposios y 7 posters. La participación de distintas universidades permitió un intercambio académico muy importante y formativo para los ponentes y asistentes en general, promoviendo el interés por la investigación en el campo de la administración, el cual fue el interés central de este encuentro. Este encuentro recibió el apoyo de las directivas de la Universidad del Rosario, la Señora vicerrectora Stephanie Lavaux, el Señor Decano de la Escuela de Administración, Dr. Alejandro Cheyne, ACBSP (Accreditation Council for Business Schools & Programs) y Asociación Colombiana de Facultades de Administración (ASCOLFA)
