The Question of Changing the Concept, Paperand Functions of State

This paper onthe questionof the concept, role and functions of State, attempts tocritically analyze recent developments and transformations. Itis assumed that all existing State models to date are in ideological crisis that challenges the concept of State.The problem is that the empirical evidence of the roleand functionsof the State or the State system are different from ast and point of a range of spheres of government, which generate the multiple requirements of the regulatory activity of the State. In the discussion some questions are identified and proposals that may be useful for analyzing the transformation of the State are formulated.Keywords. Concept of State, State functions, role of government.JEL. H70, I18

Government Public Policy of Mexico and Entrepreneurship What Can Mexican Government Do for Enhancing Entrepreneurship in Mexico?

The literature existing on entrepreneurship implicitly assumes that entrepreneurship and government and economic growth are positively related with each other and there is a positive correlation among them However few studies whether theoretical or empirical analyze such relation in an explicit manner This paper aims to study the entrepreneurship notion and the barriers of entrepreneurship and mainly the role of government in enhancing entrepreneurship in the societ

Resiliencia, estilos de enfrentamiento y actividades de crianza en madres e hijos ante la presencia de la condición especial y/o discapacidad en un miembro de la familia

El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo principal establecer la relación que existe entre las variables Resiliencia, Estilos de Enfrentamiento y Actividades de crianza además de observar en qué medida los Estilos de Enfrentamiento y las Actividades de Crianza predicen la Resiliencia en madres e hijos ante la presencia de la discapacidad en un miembro de la familia. Constituido por tres capítulos que lo sustentan teóricamente, en donde se incluyen las definiciones de cada una de las variables mencionadas. Consistió en un estudio de tipo correlacional de corte transversal y la elección de la muestra fue no probabilística de tipo intencional constituida por 100 participantes, 50 madres que tienen un hijo con una condición especial y/o discapacidad, no importando la edad y el sexo, y 50 hermanos de la persona que tiene una condición especial y/o discapacidad que se encuentren en un rango de edad de 7 a 19 años, de ambos sexos. Para la medición de cada una de las variables se utilizaron los siguientes instrumentos: para la variable Resiliencia se usó el Cuestionario de resiliencia para niños y adolescentes (González Arratia, 2011a); para los Estilos de Enfrentamiento se midió con la Escala Multidimensional y Multisituacional de Reyes-Lagunes y Góngora (2000); y, por último, para las Actividades de Crianza se ocupó el Cuestionario de Reporte de crianza (Rink, van Loon, van Lokven, van der Meulen y Jansen, 2008)

Innovation Skills for the Self-Transformation of Underrepresented Engineering Students

Underrepresented engineering students typically face multiple challenges, for example, the lack of role models and familiar guidance during their studies. Successful students have specific characteristics (i.e. skills) that allow them to thrive. In this paper the authors explore the necessary skills that may allow students to self-transform and innovate into successful engineering students.Cockrell School of Engineerin

A Study on Entrepreneurship and Role of Government in Enhancing Entrepreneurship by Establishing SMEs and Start-ups

The literature existing on entrepreneurship implicitly assumes that entrepreneurship and government and economic growth are positively related with each other and there is a positive correlation among them.

MULTIMODALITY SOMATOSTATIN ANALOG FOR FLUORESCENCE-GUIDED SURGERY IN CANCER

Cancer surgery remains the primary curative treatment for most solid cancers and has major therapeutic implications for patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Anatomical and functional imaging technologies are widely used during the pre- and postoperative stages, but intraoperative disease recognition relies on direct visual inspection and the hands of surgeons. The limited number of clinical tools for real-time intraoperative visual feedback restricts the ability to remove the complete cancer source and is partially responsible for the high rate of disease recurrence in patients. Intraoperative imaging with fluorescent contrast agents has the potential to improve the ability of surgeons to detect tumors when compared to visual inspection and hands alone. Growing clinical evidence highlights the utility of fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) in cancer. However, the translation of fluorescently labeled imaging agents has been limited by the semi-quantitative nature of the optical signal. Strategies to combine radioactive and fluorescent contrast have been developed to enable cross-validation of fluorescent agents with nuclear imaging and quantitative analysis. While several methods for dual labeling have been proposed, the selection of a clinical radiotracer as a model system provides a proven targeting approach. Since adding a fluorophore to a radiotracer could adversely affect its imaging properties, we developed a multimodality chelator (MMC) to synthesize a bioactive analog of the NET imaging agent, 68Ga-DOTA-TOC. The MMC serves as a “radioactive linker” to bridge the near-infrared fluorescent (NIRF) dye IR800 and targeting moiety Tyr-3-octreotide (TOC), producing MMC(IR800)-TOC. Here, we first examined the radiochemical and pharmacological properties of the dual-labeled analog. Subsequently, we evaluated the ability of the fluorescent somatostatin analog to selectively target tumors that overexpress the somatostatin receptor subtype-2 (SSTR2) and demonstrate utility for FGS. We used 67Ga/68Ga for quantitative biodistribution studies and cross-validated semi-quantitative findings from fluorescence-based detection methods. The observed receptor-mediated uptake in mice was confirmed via ex vivo analysis at the macro-, meso- and microscopic levels. These results showed the impact of dual labeling on tracer validation and the effectiveness of the MMC technology for developing a novel FGS agent
