The purpose of this study was to analyze the management of knowledge and emotional intelligence in organizations. Doctrines of recognized authorities were analyzed including Nonaka y Takenchi (1999), O´Dell (1998), Bueno (1998), Drucker (1996). Goleman (1995); Brockert, S. and Braun G. (1996); Sternberg, R. J. (1997); and Goleman (1998). The management of knowledge offers ever increasing improvement in organizational capacities, emotional intelligence, offers continuous betterment in organizational skills, and emotional intelligence favors the intelligent use of emotions in organizations. The methodology used for the study was documentary and descriptive, with a bibliographical design. The data collection technique was documentary review and analysis. Observation and documentary analysis were used as data collection techniques. After discussion of the results, the following conclusion were achieved: a) Knowledge management plans coordinates and controls the knowledge produced in organizations and offers social competence; b) human resources and capacities have more relevance daily in organizational identity; c) tacit and explicit knowledge are complementary; d) emotional intelligence favors executive negotiation ability; e) emotional intelligence favors team work with a service oriented mentality which is necessary for the success of a company; f) emotional intelligence favors innovative creativity and innovative flexibility.El presente estudio tuvo como propósito el análisis de la Gestión del Conocimiento y de la Inteligencia Emocional en las Organizaciones.

Construcción y estandarización de pruebas de aptitud y de conocimientos utilizables en orientación profesional

La orientación profesional es necesaria para los bachilleres colombianos. En las circunstancias actuales de desarrollo y de cambio nuestro país manifiesta una problemática de aspiraciones y necesidades quizás más compleja, por falta de límites precisos, que la de otros países.EI bachiller, al elegir la manera como va a servir a la colectividad mediante una práctica profesional, se enfrenta a una situación conflictiva. De una parte ignora que necesidad tiene el país de la profesión que desea seguir; como se adecuan sus capacidades a las exigencias de ella y, en su ejercicio, satisfará las aspiraciones personales. De otra parte debe elegir y... elige con indecisión

A nipple shield delivery system for oral drug delivery to breastfeeding infants : Microbicide delivery to inactivate HIV

A new drug delivery method for infants is presented which incorporates an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)-loaded insert into a nipple shield delivery system (NSDS). The API is released directly into milk during breastfeeding. This study investigates the feasibility of using the NSDS to deliver the microbicide sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), with the goal of preventing mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV during breastfeeding in low-resource settings, when there is no safer alternative for the infant but to breastfeed. SDS has been previously shown to effectively inactivate HIV in human milk. An apparatus was developed to simulate milk flow through and drug release from a NSDS. Using this apparatus milk was pulsed through a prototype device containing a non-woven fiber insert impregnated with SDS and the microbicide was rapidly released. The total SDS release from inserts ranged from 70 to 100% of the average 0.07 g load within 50 ml (the volume of a typical breastfeed). Human milk spiked with H9/HIVIIIB cells was also passed through the same set-up. Greater than 99% reduction of cell-associated HIV infectivity was achieved in the first 10 ml of milk. This proof of concept study demonstrates efficient drug delivery to breastfeeding infants is achievable using the NSDS

Energy and Flux Measurements of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays Observed During the First ANITA Flight

The first flight of the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment recorded 16 radio signals that were emitted by cosmic-ray induced air showers. For 14 of these events, this radiation was reflected from the ice. The dominant contribution to the radiation from the deflection of positrons and electrons in the geomagnetic field, which is beamed in the direction of motion of the air shower. This radiation is reflected from the ice and subsequently detected by the ANITA experiment at a flight altitude of 36km. In this paper, we estimate the energy of the 14 individual events and find that the mean energy of the cosmic-ray sample is 2.9 EeV. By simulating the ANITA flight, we calculate its exposure for ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We estimate for the first time the cosmic-ray flux derived only from radio observations. In addition, we find that the Monte Carlo simulation of the ANITA data set is in agreement with the total number of observed events and with the properties of those events.Comment: Added more explanation of the experimental setup and textual improvement

CRISPR-assisted detection of RNA-protein interactions in living cells.

We have developed CRISPR-assisted RNA-protein interaction detection method (CARPID), which leverages CRISPR-CasRx-based RNA targeting and proximity labeling to identify binding proteins of specific long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the native cellular context. We applied CARPID to the nuclear lncRNA XIST, and it captured a list of known interacting proteins and multiple previously uncharacterized binding proteins. We generalized CARPID to explore binders of the lncRNAs DANCR and MALAT1, revealing the method's wide applicability in identifying RNA-binding proteins

South American Plasmodium falciparum after the Malaria Eradication Era: Clonal Population Expansion and Survival of the Fittest Hybrids

Malaria has reemerged in many regions where once it was nearly eliminated. Yet the source of these parasites, the process of repopulation, their population structure, and dynamics are ill defined. Peru was one of malaria eradication's successes, where Plasmodium falciparum was nearly eliminated for two decades. It reemerged in the 1990s. In the new era of malaria elimination, Peruvian P. falciparum is a model of malaria reinvasion. We investigated its population structure and drug resistance profiles. We hypothesized that only populations adapted to local ecological niches could expand and repopulate and originated as vestigial populations or recent introductions. We investigated the genetic structure (using microsatellites) and drug resistant genotypes of 220 parasites collected from patients immediately after peak epidemic expansion (1999–2000) from seven sites across the country. The majority of parasites could be grouped into five clonal lineages by networks and AMOVA. The distribution of clonal lineages and their drug sensitivity profiles suggested geographic structure. In 2001, artesunate combination therapy was introduced in Peru. We tested 62 parasites collected in 2006–2007 for changes in genetic structure. Clonal lineages had recombined under selection for the fittest parasites. Our findings illustrate that local adaptations in the post-eradication era have contributed to clonal lineage expansion. Within the shifting confluence of drug policy and malaria incidence, populations continue to evolve through genetic outcrossing influenced by antimalarial selection pressure. Understanding the population substructure of P. falciparum has implications for vaccine, drug, and epidemiologic studies, including monitoring malaria during and after the elimination phase
