Diseño, confiabilidad y validez de una escala de autopercepción de éxito para colaboradores de empresas medianas en México

 El estudio de la autopercepción del éxito, como aquella sensación de bienestar personal, laboral, económico o emocional que una persona experimenta a partir del logro de propósitos alcanzados, en actividades que le apasionan, ha sido objeto de estudio en deportistas, gerentes y empresarios, dejando al margen al colaborador; sobre quien realmente depende, en el día a día, el desarrollo de las organizaciones. El propósito de esta investigación fue explorar la confiabilidad y validez de la escala de autopercepción de éxito para colaboradores de organizaciones medianas mexicanas. Se utilizó una escala de inicial de nueve ítems y se aplicó a muestra de 225 trabajadores pertenecientes a seis empresas medianas en México. El análisis de fiabilidad, indicó que la escala cuenta con una consistencia interna adecuada. Los análisis factoriales exploratorio y confirmatorio, permitieron identificar una estructura factorial especificando ítems con cargas estimadas más elevadas. La versión final del instrumento presenta una confiabilidad y validez adecuada para valorar la autopercepción de éxito.

Financing of residential rooftop photovoltaic projects under a net metering policy framework: the case of the colombian caribbean region

The inclusion of photovoltaic energy in the Colombian energy matrix has had several difficulties due to the lack of energy policies and regulations in renewable energy projects. The lack of government support with subsidies that extend the coverage of PV energy projects in residential areas has made the collection of funds more challenging. This paper presents a techno-economic analysis for the implementation of grid-connected photovoltaic projects on the roofs of residential areas, under the net metering policy framework. For the profitability analysis, the discounted cash flow (DCF) method was used. The revenues were obtained from the forecasts of the electrical power production of the PV system, based on the characteristics of the Colombian Caribbean Region. For this purpose, the meteorological data (2013-2017) of this region were used as an input for the calculation of the economic benefits that can be achieved with the implementation of PV systems. Based on the technical sizing and economic assumptions, it was proved that the DCF method allows to accurately determine the optimal debt ratio. After evaluating the three scenarios proposed, it was demonstrated that profitability and self-sustainability, with investment from creditors, is obtained from the implementation of PV systems of at least 3 kWp

Molecular findings of colombian patients with type VI mucopolysaccharidosis (Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome)

Q483-89Introduction: Maroteaux–Lamy syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type VI, is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficient activity of the enzyme arylsulfatase B (ARSB), required to degrade dermatan sulfate. The onset and progression of the disease vary, producing a spectrum of clinical presentation. So far, 133 mutations have been reported. The aim of this study is to determine the mutations in the ARSB gene that are responsible for this disease in Colombian patients. Results: Fourteen patients with clinical manifestations and biochemical diagnosis of MPS VI were studied, including two siblings. The 8 exons of the gene were directly sequenced from patients' DNA, and 14 mutations were found. 57% of these mutations had not been previously reported (p.H111P, p.C121R, p.G446S, p.*534W, p.S334I, p.H147P, c.900TNG, and c.1531_1553del) and 43% had been previously reported (p.G144R, p.W322*, p.G302R, p.C447F, p.L128del, and c.1143-1GNC). Of the previously reported mutations, 80% have been associated with severe phenotypes and 20% with intermediate-severe phenotypes. Bioinformatic predictions indicate that the new mutations reported in this paper are also highly deleterious. Conclusions: Most of the Colombian patients in this study had private mutations

Sentido de pertenencia, relaciones intraorganizacionales y participación activa en el desarrollo comunitario: un análisis de empresas medianas de manufactura en México

Causal relations between sense of belonging, intra-organizational relationships and active participation in community development are analyzed in this article, which is an explanatory investigation. The analytical tool measures sense of belonging, intraorganizational relationships and active participation in community development using seventeen items on a sample of one hundred ninety-three workers from five medium-sized manufacturing companies in Mexico. Results seem to indicate positive causal relations between sense of belonging and intraorganizational relationships, and also between intraorganizational relationships and active participation in community development. This is a contribution for a better understaning of the relationships among the components of organizational culture, organizational citizen behavior and corporate social responsability.En el presente artículo se analiza la relación causal que existe entre el sentido de pertenencia, las relaciones intraorganizacionales y la participación activa en el desarrollo de la comunidad.

Distribución y conservación de Quercus oleoides Schltdl. & Cham. en la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra del Abra Tanchipa

En la Reserva de la Biosfera Sierra del Abra Tanchipa, los encinares tropicales (Quercus oleoides) actúan como reguladores ambientales y son un recurso maderable valioso para los pobladores locales; sin embargo, las actividades antrópicas han afectado considerablemente estas comunidades vegetales. Los objetivos de este estudio fueron conocer la distribución actual y potencial de Quercus oleoides, sus usos actuales y definir áreas prioritarias para su conservación. Se llevó a cabo una revisión documental, se consultaron herbarios y realizó trabajo de campo, además de un análisis espacial basado en Sistemas de Información Geográfica y una modelización de la distribución potencial. La definición de sitios prioritarios se realizó mediante una evaluación multicriterio, con base en un análisis jerarquizado (AHP) y en el conocimiento de expertos. En la Reserva y en su área de influencia, Quercus oleoides tiene presencia relictual y dispersa a lo largo de la sierra. Su distribución está asociada principalmente a suelos delgados, pendientes suaves y elevaciones menores a 350 msnm. La superficie que podría haber ocupado esta comunidad vegetal es superior a 15 000 ha, pero la remoción de la cubierta original para dedicar los terrenos a actividades agropecuarias y el aprovechamiento irrestricto de la especie han causado una reducción crítica de sus poblaciones. Actualmente el área propicia para su conservación es de aproximadamente 200 ha, donde es posible iniciar acciones para su restauración y conservación

Antimutagenicity and Antiproliferative Studies of Lipidic Extracts from White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)

An organic extract from fresh shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) was studied for antimutagenic and antiproliferative properties using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA98 and TA100 with metabolic activation (S9) and a cancer cell line (B-cell lymphoma), respectively. Shrimp extract was sequentially fractionated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and each fraction was tested for antimutagenic and antiproliferative activities. Crude organic extracts obtained from shrimp reduced the number of revertants caused by aflatoxina B1, showing a dose-response type of relationship. Sequential TLC fractionation of the active extracts produced several antimutagenic and/or antiproliferative fractions. These results suggested that the lipid fraction of the tested species contained compounds with chemoprotective properties that reduce the mutagenicity of AFB1 and proliferation of a cancer cell line

Economic Multi-Objective Dynamic Optimization (EMODO) as a Decision-Making tool in Biomethanation Process

In biological methanation, the methane produced by anaerobic digestion (AD) is upgraded with the addition of syngas. The successful implementation of biomethanation requires the optimization of the production to be competitive in economic terms against chemical processes. Optimization is an arduous task, especially when it is desired to optimize multiple objectives that can be conflicting, such as yields, productivities, process times, and profit gains, among others. This work aims to implement an Economic Multi-Objective Dynamic Optimization (EMODO) approach as a decision-making tool for adequately operating the biomethanation process. The proposed EMODO strategy was based on a previously developed dynamic model for biomethanation. This strategy effectively optimized the ???????? and the ???????????? ???????????? by manipulating the inlet flow rates of gas ( ?? ?????? ???? ) and liquid ( ?? ?????? ???? ). The strategy also highlights the conflicting behavior of economic objectives and the dependence on substrates. The dynamic optimization improves the response time of the model smoothing the transitions between stages and achieving well adaptation to disturbances regarding the cost of the substrates and the selling prices of the products
