LA GESTIÓN DE MARCA CON ORIENTACIÓN AL MERCADO. UNA PERSPECTIVA DESDE LOS FRANQUICIADOS

Actualmente, el cliente final está siendo estudiado por los administradores y gestores de marca debido a los efectos tan influyentes que tiene la marca en el mercado. Sin embargo, en la franquicia, en general, y en la franquicia mexicana, en particular, las actividades orientadas a la gestión de marcas son poco investigadas. Si tenemos en cuenta que las franquicias tienen una participación importante en la economía y se presentan como una exitosa alternativa de crecimiento y expansión tanto en los mercados nacionales como en los internacionales, se hace necesario analizar, desde un enfoque de mercado, la influencia de la gestión de marca en la percepción del cliente. Este precisamente será el objetivo del presente trabajo el cual, tras justificarlo teóricamente, lleva a cabo un estudio empírico donde se aplica el sistema de ecuaciones estructurales a la información recogida a través de encuestas y entrevistas semiestructuradas de una muestra de franquiciados mexicanos con al menos cinco años de presencia en México, en las categorías de alimentos, bebidas y restaurantes. Los resultados obtenidos revelan la clara aseveración de que el componente interno de la gestión de marca es determinante en la percepción del cliente, es decir, tiene un efecto en el mercado. Pese a ello, también se aprecia el desconocimiento de los esfuerzos internos que más influyen en una imagen positiva de la marca que tiene el consumidor.Gestión de marca, franquicias, orientación al mercado

On the Regularity of Optimal Transportation Potentials on Round Spheres

In this paper the regularity of optimal transportation potentials defined on round spheres is investigated. Specifically, this research generalises the calculations done by Loeper, where he showed that the strong (A3) condition of Trudinger and Wang is satisfied on the round sphere, when the cost-function is the geodesic distance squared. In order to generalise Loeper's calculation to a broader class of cost-functions, the (A3) condition is reformulated via a stereographic projection that maps charts of the sphere into Euclidean space. This reformulation subsequently allows one to verify the (A3) condition for any case where the cost-fuction of the associated optimal transportation problem can be expressed as a function of the geodesic distance between points on a round sphere. With this, several examples of such cost-functions are then analysed to see whether or not they satisfy this (A3) condition.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figure

The dynamical evolution of molecular clouds near the Galactic Centre - II. Spatial structure and kinematics of simulated clouds

The evolution of molecular clouds in galactic centres is thought to differ from that in galactic discs due to a significant influence of the external gravitational potential. We present a set of numerical simulations of molecular clouds orbiting on the 100-pc stream of the Central Molecular Zone (the central $\sim500$ pc of the Galaxy) and characterise their morphological and kinematic evolution in response to the background potential and eccentric orbital motion. We find that the clouds are shaped by strong shear and torques, by tidal and geometric deformation, and by their passage through the orbital pericentre. Within our simulations, these mechanisms control cloud sizes, aspect ratios, position angles, filamentary structure, column densities, velocity dispersions, line-of-sight velocity gradients, spin angular momenta, and kinematic complexity. By comparing these predictions to observations of clouds on the Galactic Centre 'dust ridge', we find that our simulations naturally reproduce a broad range of key observed morphological and kinematic features, which can be explained in terms of well-understood physical mechanisms. We argue that the accretion of gas clouds onto the central regions of galaxies, where the rotation curve turns over and the tidal field is fully compressive, is accompanied by transformative dynamical changes to the clouds, leading to collapse and star formation. This can generate an evolutionary progression of cloud collapse with a common starting point, which either marks the time of accretion onto the tidally-compressive region or of the most recent pericentre passage. Together, these processes may naturally produce the synchronised starbursts observed in numerous (extra)galactic nuclei

Medical record linkage in health information systems by approximate string matching and clustering

BACKGROUND: Multiplication of data sources within heterogeneous healthcare information systems always results in redundant information, split among multiple databases. Our objective is to detect exact and approximate duplicates within identity records, in order to attain a better quality of information and to permit cross-linkage among stand-alone and clustered databases. Furthermore, we need to assist human decision making, by computing a value reflecting identity proximity. METHODS: The proposed method is in three steps. The first step is to standardise and to index elementary identity fields, using blocking variables, in order to speed up information analysis. The second is to match similar pair records, relying on a global similarity value taken from the Porter-Jaro-Winkler algorithm. And the third is to create clusters of coherent related records, using graph drawing, agglomerative clustering methods and partitioning methods. RESULTS: The batch analysis of 300,000 "supposedly" distinct identities isolates 240,000 true unique records, 24,000 duplicates (clusters composed of 2 records) and 3,000 clusters whose size is greater than or equal to 3 records. CONCLUSION: Duplicate-free databases, used in conjunction with relevant indexes and similarity values, allow immediate (i.e.: real-time) proximity detection when inserting a new identity

Processing Induced Changes in Food Proteins: Amyloid Formation during Boiling of Hen Egg White

Amyloid fibrils (AFs) are highly ordered protein nanofibers composed of cross β-structure that occur in nature, but that also accumulate in age-related diseases. Amyloid propensity is a generic property of proteins revealed by conditions that destabilize the native state, suggesting that food processing conditions may promote AF formation. This had only been shown for foie gras, but not in common foodstuffs. We here extracted a dense network of fibrillar proteins from commonly consumed boiled hen egg white (EW) using chemical and/or enzymatic treatments. Conversion of EW proteins into AFs during boiling was demonstrated by thioflavin T fluorescence, Congo red staining, and X-ray fiber diffraction measurements. Our data show that cooking converts approximately 1–3% of the protein in EW into AFs, suggesting that they are a common component of the human diet
