Influencia del área de la instalación escolar - patio escolar sobre la condición física en escolares de 7-10 años.

Este es un estudio observacional, tipo analítico de corte transversal que tiene por objeto evaluar, comparar y establecer diferencias significativas sobre la condición física (CF) de 162 escolares entre los 7-10 años de las Instituciones Educativas República del Perú (RP) y Joaquín Caycedo y Cuero (JCC) de Santiago de Cali, ambas pertenecientes al sector público y cuyas infraestructuras escolares difieren por el tamaño de sus áreas de patio escolar. En la evaluación de la CF y composición corporal (CC) se utilizó la batería de pruebas ALPHAFitness extendida que incluye un total de ocho pruebas y se excluyó de ésta la maduración sexual. Para realizar el análisis estadístico y con el propósito de correlacionar de manera mas especifica los resultados, la población fue dividida en subgrupos de la siguiente manera: sexo, institución grande y pequeña y dos grupos etarios (7-8 años y 9-10 años). Para aceptar una diferencia se analizaron los datos obtenidos con un nivel de significancia estadística del 5% (α = 0.05) donde al comparar la población total, diferenciando el tamaño de la institución escolar grande (JCC) y pequeña (RP), se halló diferencias significativas en las variables Perímetro de Cintura, donde los estudiantes (RP) de 7-8 años poseen un perímetro de cintura mayor a los escolares de (JCC) de la misma edad; también para la variable Agilidad 4 x 10 m se halló una diferencia significativa, donde los estudiantes de (JCC) tienen mayores tiempos en la prueba que (RP). Al separar las poblaciones por sexo, la variable que se mantuvo con diferencias fue la de Agilidad 4 x 10 m en el sexo femenino. Al separar la población en los grupos etarios (7-8 años y 9-10 años) la diferencia que se mantuvo también fue la de agilidad 4x10 m para ambos sexos

O valor da marca - Proposta do modelo Danrise

As marcas adquiriram particular preponderância nas estratégias das empresas, visto serem capazes de gerar sentimentos, sensações e emoções nos clientes. Os valores, não mensuráveis, resultarão, obviamente, em valor para as empresas e para as próprias marcas. Uma marca forte configurar-se-á como o maior património de uma empresa. E é hoje vista como um dos activos mais importantes. A evolução de uma marca, como activo intangível e estratégico de uma empresa, assume-se cada vez mais de vital importância, no seio destas, como forma de maximizar os seus resultados. Esta necessidade, quer do mercado, quer das empresas, justifica o direccionamento da pesquisa para o sector — o valor da marca. O trabalho tem como objectivo principal apresentar um novo modelo de avaliação de marcas. Este modelo sustenta-se numa vertente tangível e numa intangível, esta última avalia os conhecimentos e a capacidade dos seus responsáveis e funcionários para a construção de uma marca de valor, através da correcta ordenação das prioridades das dimensões do modelo proposto. O modelo foi testado na marca Blue Rise

Ricerche circa gli effetti nutrizionali e sanitari su vite di irrorazioni fogliari a base di fosfati e fosfiti di potassio e magnesio.

Abstract: In order to verify the effect on vine health and yield performances of canopy treatments applied with potassium and magnesium phosphite or phosphate solution, an experiment was conduced from 2007 to 2008 in the Oltrepò Pavese D.O.C. zone (north- west of Italy). These treatments were tested in comparison with a control and with other leaves treatment based on cover and penetrating fungicides commonly used. The vines treated with the phosphate compounds (2007) has shown an increase of potassium and phosphorous leaves content, without an effect against the downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) disease. Potassium and magnesium phospite treatments (2007 and 2008) have increase: K and P leaves nutrition, photosynthesis (SPAD measures) and productivity (yield/vine and quantity of sugar/vine) and also have decrease the downy mildew attack with nothing significant differences from the fungicides commonly used in the farm. The leaves test of K and P phosphate has showed only a curative effect on the Plasmopara viticola development. The phosphite wine residues after 8-10 vine treatments during the season were under the law limit (from 30 to 40 mg/L)

AMAZONIA CAMTRAP: A data set of mammal, bird, and reptile species recorded with camera traps in the Amazon forest

The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer-reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non-invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time and space. In this study, we organized and standardized camera trap records from different Amazon regions to compile the most extensive data set of inventories of mammal, bird, and reptile species ever assembled for the area. The complete data set comprises 154,123 records of 317 species (185 birds, 119 mammals, and 13 reptiles) gathered from surveys from the Amazonian portion of eight countries (Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela). The most frequently recorded species per taxa were: mammals: Cuniculus paca (11,907 records); birds: Pauxi tuberosa (3713 records); and reptiles: Tupinambis teguixin (716 records). The information detailed in this data paper opens up opportunities for new ecological studies at different spatial and temporal scales, allowing for a more accurate evaluation of the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, climate change, and other human-mediated defaunation processes in one of the most important and threatened tropical environments in the world. The data set is not copyright restricted; please cite this data paper when using its data in publications and we also request that researchers and educators inform us of how they are using these data

Global economic burden of unmet surgical need for appendicitis

Background There is a substantial gap in provision of adequate surgical care in many low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to identify the economic burden of unmet surgical need for the common condition of appendicitis. Methods Data on the incidence of appendicitis from 170 countries and two different approaches were used to estimate numbers of patients who do not receive surgery: as a fixed proportion of the total unmet surgical need per country (approach 1); and based on country income status (approach 2). Indirect costs with current levels of access and local quality, and those if quality were at the standards of high-income countries, were estimated. A human capital approach was applied, focusing on the economic burden resulting from premature death and absenteeism. Results Excess mortality was 4185 per 100 000 cases of appendicitis using approach 1 and 3448 per 100 000 using approach 2. The economic burden of continuing current levels of access and local quality was US $92 492 million using approach 1 and$73 141 million using approach 2. The economic burden of not providing surgical care to the standards of high-income countries was $95 004 million using approach 1 and$75 666 million using approach 2. The largest share of these costs resulted from premature death (97.7 per cent) and lack of access (97.0 per cent) in contrast to lack of quality. Conclusion For a comparatively non-complex emergency condition such as appendicitis, increasing access to care should be prioritized. Although improving quality of care should not be neglected, increasing provision of care at current standards could reduce societal costs substantially
