    El Gobierno de El Salvador y el Frente Farabundo Marti para la Liberación Nacional. Convencidos de la necesidad de dar un impulso final al proceso de negociaciones que actualmente llevan a cabo con la activa participación del Secretario General de las Naciones Unidas, de manera que a corto plazo pueda alcanzarse el conjunto de acuerdos políticos requerido para terminar definitivamente el conflicto armado que padece nuestro país, Conscientes de que, para lograr el objetivo asi enunciado es indispensable crear un conjunto de condiciones y garantías que aseguren el cumplimiento cabal de dichos acuerdos políticos por ambas partes

    Analysis of adaptive responses of Pinus pinaster to changing environmental conditions in the Mediterranean region

    Get PDF
    Recent climate evolution studies highlight the progressive temperature increase and prevalence of seasonal drought, with specially incidence in the Mediterranean region. Although conifers are very important species regarding forest conservation, sustainability and productivity, given the large forest surface they cover in Spain and their active role in preventing soil erosion and desertification, we know little about the molecular mechanisms which control adaptation in this ancient taxonomic grou

    El proyecto ?Ampliaci?n Del Terminal Portuario Muelle Sur - Callao? consiste en gestionar el dise?o e ingenier?a; la adquisici?n de las gr?as portuarias y la construcci?n de la zona de ampliaci?n; la fabricaci?n de las gr?as portuarias y la interacci?n de su ejecuci?n con la operaci?n del terminal portuario. Es un proyecto interno que gestiona la empresa Terminal de Contenedores Muelle Sur (concesionaria del terminal portuario por un per?odo de 30 a?os desde el 2008) como estrategia para mantener su liderazgo en el mercado local. El proyecto consta de dos sub proyectos que se ejecutan en paralelo: la adquisici?n de gr?as (a cargo de la empresa china ZPMC) y la ampliaci?n del terminal (a cargo de COSAPI). Al final del proyecto, los entregables ser?n transferidos al departamento de Operaciones. Culminado el per?odo de concesi?n, todos los bienes ser?n transferidos al Estado Peruano

    Prognosis Stratification Tools in Early-Stage Endometrial Cancer: Could We Improve Their Accuracy?

    There are three prognostic stratification tools used for endometrial cancer: ESMO-ESGO-ESTRO 2016, ProMisE, and ESGO-ESTRO-ESP 2020. However, these methods are not sufficiently accurate to address prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the integration of molecular classification and other biomarkers could be used to improve the prognosis stratification in early-stage endometrial cancer. Relapse-free and overall survival of each classifier were analyzed, and the c-index was employed to assess accuracy. Other biomarkers were explored to improve the precision of risk classifiers. We analyzed 293 patients. A comparison between the three classifiers showed an improved accuracy in ESGO-ESTRO-ESP 2020 when RFS was evaluated (c-index = 0.78), although we did not find broad differences between intermediate prognostic groups. Prognosis of these patients was better stratified with the incorporation of CTNNB1 status to the 2020 classifier (c-index 0.81), with statistically significant and clinically relevant differences in 5-year RFS: 93.9% for low risk, 79.1% for intermediate merged group/CTNNB1 wild type, and 42.7% for high risk (including patients with CTNNB1 mutation). The incorporation of molecular classification in risk stratification resulted in better discriminatory capability, which could be improved even further with the addition of CTNNB1 mutational evaluation.Peer reviewe

    Determinants of the level of informality of informal micro-enterprises: some evidence from the city of Lahore, Pakistan

    Get PDF
    Recognizing that enterprises operate at varying levels of informality, this paper evaluates the determinants of their degree of informality. Reporting a 2012 survey of 300 informal micro-enterprises in the city of Lahore in Pakistan, the finding is that the key predictors of their level of informality are the characteristics of the entrepreneur and enterprise, rather than their motives or the wider formal and informal institutional compliance environment. Lower degrees of informality are associated with women, older, educated and higher income entrepreneurs and older enterprises with employees in the manufacturing sector. The paper concludes by discussing the theoretical and policy implications
