Relación entre los factores de la competitividad empresarial y el potencial exportador de las MYPE del sector textil confecciones de Lima, durante el período 2015 - 2019

En el Perú, una de las fuerzas a nivel empresarial más notoria es el segmento MYPE, creadas en diversos sectores generan importantes beneficios económicos al país. La oferta productiva MYPE del sector textil confecciones ofrece calidades diversas, algunas sobresalientes; permitiendo la competitividad y la diversificación en el mercado local e internacional. Sin embargo, las limitaciones en los aspectos de gestión alimentan debilidades que impiden su crecimiento. El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar la relación entre los factores de la Competitividad empresarial y el Potencial exportador de las MYPE del sector textil de Lima, durante el período 2015 – 2019, para identificar puntos de mejora e información que colabore en el desarrollo e internacionalización sostenible de las MYPE. Para este análisis se realizó una investigación cuantitativa, no trasversal y de correlación con un enfoque en 4 dimensiones: Capacidad gerencial, Planificación estratégica, Innovación y Potencial exportador. El instrumento utilizado fue una encuesta de escala de tipo Likert a 34 conductores MYPE del sector textil de Lima. Para el análisis de las respuestas se usó el sistema SPSS, concluyendo que existe una moderada relación entre los factores de la Competitividad empresarial y el Potencial exportador de las MYPE del sector confecciones textiles de Lima, durante el período analizado.In Peru, one of the most notorious forces at the business level is the MSE’s segment, created in diverse sectors that generate important economic benefits to the country. The productive offer of the MSE’s in the textile and apparel sector includes diverse qualities, some of which are outstanding, allowing for competitiveness and diversification in the local and international markets. However, the limitations related to management feed weaknesses that prevent their growth. The objective of this research is to identify the relationship between the factors of Business competitiveness and the Export potential of MSE’s in the textile sector of Lima, during the period 2015 - 2019, to identify points of improvement and information to assist in the development and sustainable internationalization of the MSE’s. For this analysis, a non-transverse quantitative research and correlation with focus on 4 dimensions was carried out: Management capacity, strategic planning, innovation and export potential. The instrument used was a Likert scale survey of 34 drivers of MSEs in the textile sector in Lima. The SPSS system was used to analyze the responses, concluding that there is a moderate relationship between the factors of Business competitiveness and the Export potential of the MSEs in the textile apparel sector of Lima, during the period analyzed.Tesi

Disentangling the counteracting effects of water content and carbon mass on zooplankton growth

Abstract Zooplankton vary widely in carbon percentage (carbon mass as a percentage of wet mass), but are often described as either gelatinous or non-gelatinous. Here we update datasets of carbon percentage and growth rate to investigate whether carbon percentage is a continuous trait, and whether its inclusion improves zooplankton growth models. We found that carbon percentage is continuous, but that species are not distributed homogenously along this axis. To assess variability of this trait in situ, we investigated the distribution of biomass across the range of carbon percentage for a zooplankton time series at station L4 off Plymouth, UK. This showed separate biomass peaks for gelatinous and crustacean taxa, however, carbon percentage varied 8-fold within the gelatinous group. Species with high carbon mass had lower carbon percentage, allowing separation of the counteracting effects of these two variables on growth rate. Specific growth rates, g (d−1) were negatively related to carbon percentage and carbon mass, even in the gelatinous taxa alone, suggesting that the trend is not driven by a categorical difference between these groups. The addition of carbon percentage doubled the explanatory power of growth models based on mass alone, demonstrating the benefits of considering carbon percentage as a continuous trait

Non-standard management of breast cancer increases with age in the UK: a population based cohort of women ⩾65 years

Evidence suggests that compared to younger women, older women are less likely to receive standard management for breast cancer. Whether this disparity persists once differences in tumour characteristics have been adjusted for has not been investigated in the UK. A retrospective cohort study involving case note review was undertaken, based on the North Western Cancer Registry database of women aged ⩾65 years, resident in Greater Manchester with invasive breast cancer registered over a 1-year period (n=480). Adjusting for tumour characteristics associated with age by logistic regression analyses, older women were less likely to receive standard management than younger women for all indicators investigated. Compared to women aged 65–69 years, women aged ⩾80 years with operable (stage 1–3a) breast cancer have increased odds of not receiving triple assessment (OR=5.5, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.1–14.5), not receiving primary surgery (OR=43.0, 95% CI: 9.7–191.3), not undergoing axillary node surgery (OR=27.6, 95% CI: 5.6–135.9) and not undergoing tests for steroid receptors (OR=3.0, 95% CI: 1.7–5.5). Women aged 75–79 years have increased odds of not receiving radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery compared to women aged 65–69 years (OR=11.0, 95% CI: 2.0–61.6). These results demonstrate that older women in the UK are less likely to receive standard management for breast cancer, compared to younger women and this disparity cannot be explained by differences in tumour characteristics

Trabecular and cortical bone structure of the talus and distal tibia in Pan and Homo

$\textbf{Objectives:}$ Internal bone structure, both cortical and trabecular bone, remodels in response to loading and may provide important information regarding behavior. The foot is well suited to analysis of internal bone structure because it experiences the initial substrate reaction forces, due to its proximity to the substrate. Moreover, as humans and apes differ in loading of the foot, this region is relevant to questions concerning arboreal locomotion and bipedality in the hominoid fossil record. $\textbf{Materials and methods:}$ We apply a whole-bone/epiphysis approach to analyze trabecular and cortical bone in the distal tibia and talus of $\textit{Pan troglodytes}$ and $\textit{Homo sapiens}$. We quantify bone volume fraction (BV/TV), degree of anisotropy (DA), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), bone surface to volume ratio (BS/BV), and cortical thickness and investigate the distribution of BV/TV and cortical thickness throughout the bone/epiphysis. $\textbf{Results:}$ We find that $\textit{Pan}$ has a greater BV/TV, a lower BS/BV and thicker cortices than $\textit{Homo}$ in both the talus and distal tibia. The trabecular structure of the talus is more divergent than the tibia, having thicker, less uniformly aligned trabeculae in $\textit{Pan}$ compared to $\textit{Homo}$. Differences in dorsiflexion at the talocrural joint and in degree of mobility at the talonavicular joint are reflected in the distribution of cortical and trabecular bone. $\textbf{Discussion:}$ Overall, quantified trabecular parameters represent overall differences in bone strength between the two species, however, DA may be directly related to joint loading. Cortical and trabecular bone distributions correlate with habitual joint positions adopted by each species, and thus have potential for interpreting joint position in fossil hominoids.This research was supported by The Max Planck Society and the European Research Council Starting Grant #336301
