    En Colombia, el Derecho de la Competencia es una rama del derecho que apenas comienza a aplicarse. A pesar de que desde el año 1955 nuestro país cuenta con normas de defensa de la competencia, tan sólo hace unos años -quince a lo sumo- nuestras autoridades y académicos han comenzado a desarrollar esta importante área del derecho. La Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio –SIC-, autoridad encargada de la defensa y promoción de la competencia, realiza estudios cada vez más serios y acordes con la legislación y doctrina mundial sobre la materia. Para ello se ha visto en la necesidad de recurrir a métodos de análisis rigurosos que le permitan medir y examinar de manera apropiada las condiciones de competencia en los distintos sectores de nuestra economía.Abogado (a)Pregrad

    páginasCurrently in Colombia there is a regulatory regulation on packaging that is governed according to Resolution 1407 of 2018 that talks about the environmental management of packaging waste and packaging of paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, metal and other determinations are made . According to the Chamber of Cosmetics of the ANDI notes that consumption in the cosmetics sector has doubled with an average annual growth of 9.9% 2, going from producing US 1,301milliontoUS 1,301 million to US 3,659 million in 2011. In 2015 the market Colombian cosmetic products amounted to US 4,885milliondollars,4.3 4,885 million dollars, 4.3% more than in 2014. By 2018 it is expected to reach US 5,274 million dollars. (Restrepo, 2015) This work proposes a preliminary environmental management plan for packaging waste and cosmetic products in Colombia according to Resolution 1407 of 2018 addressed to the cosmetics industry, through the study of resolution 1407 of 2018, the comparison with international legislation on the management of packaging waste and the presentation of a tool that will serve as a guide for the implementation of the environmental management plan for packaging and packaging waste, aimed at the cosmetic industry. Concluding that in Colombia the cosmetic sector is mostly small companies, which do not have the necessary resources to implement environmental standards at the level of ISO 14001, however, it is very important for the government to start the necessary processes in where more control, responsibility and awareness of environmental impact is generated in the generation of waste from the packaging of cosmetic products and its final disposal by producers, as well as designing and formulating pilot projects as soon as possible so that the regulatory entity (ANLA) approves and certifies them in the appropriate time before the beginning of the regulation 1407 of 2018.Actualmente en Colombia existe una regulación normativa acerca de los envases que se rige de acuerdo a la Resolución 1407 de 2018 que habla de la gestión ambiental de los residuos de envases y empaques de papel, cartón, plástico, vidrio, metal y se toman otras determinaciones. Según la Cámara de Cosméticos de la ANDI señala que se ha duplicado el consumo en el sector de cosméticos con un crecimiento anual promedio de 9,9%2, pasando de producirUS1,301millonesaUS1,301 millones a US3,659 millones en 2011. En el año 2015 el mercado colombiano de productos cosméticos ascendió a US4.885millonesdedoˊlares,4,34.885 millones de dólares, 4,3% más que en 2014. Para 2018 se espera que llegue a US5.274 millones de dólares. (Restrepo, 2015) El presente trabajo propone un plan de gestión ambiental preliminar de residuos de envases y empaques de productos cosméticos en Colombia según la Resolución 1407 de 2018 dirigido a la industria cosmética, mediante el estudio de la resolución 1407 de 2018, la comparación con la legislación internacional sobre la gestión de los residuos de envases y la presentación de una herramienta que sirva de guía para la implementación del plan de gestión ambiental de residuos de envases y empaques, dirigido a la industria cosmética. Concluyendo que en Colombia el sector cosmético en su gran mayoría son empresas pequeñas, las cuales no cuentan con los recursos necesarios para implementar normas ambientales a nivel de ISO 14001, sin embargo, es de gran relevancia para el gobierno que se inicien los procesos necesarios en donde se genere más control, responsabilidad y conciencia del impacto ambiental en la generación de residuos a partir de los envases de los productos cosméticos y su disposición final por parte de los productores, al igual que se debe diseñar y formular proyectos pilotos lo más pronto posible para que la entidad regulatoria (ANLA) los apruebe y certifique en el tiempo adecuado antes de que inicie a regir la resolución 1407 de 2018.Incluye bibliografíaPregradoQuímico(a) Farmacéutic

    Q1In Latin America and the Caribbean, hypertensive pregnancy disorders are responsible for almost 26% of allmaternal deaths [1] and, in Colombia, they account for 59% of all severe maternal morbidity (SMM) cases, and59.7% of all SMM cases in adolescents [2]. One of the most important hypertensive pregnancy disorders ispreeclampsia (PE). Lives can be saved, if PE is prevented, or detected early and properly managed. Prevention anddetection depend on identifying the risk factors associated with PE, and, as these have been shown vary bypopulation, they should be determined on a population-by-population basis. The following study utilized thenested case-control model to evaluate 45 potential PE risk factors of a cohort in Bogot a, Colombia, making itperhaps the most comprehensive study of its kind in Colombia. It found PE to have a statistically significantassociation with 7 of the 45 factors evaluated: 1) pre-gestational BMI>30 kg/m2, 2) pregnancy weight gain>12kg, 3) previous history preeclampsia/eclampsia, 4) previous history of IUGR-SGA (Intrauterine GrowthRestriction-Small for Gestational Age), 5) maternal age<20 or 35 years (20–34 was not associated), and 6)family history of diabetes. Finally, prenatal consumption of folic acid was found to lower the risk of PE. Werecommend that, in Colombia, factors 1–6 be used to identify at risk mothers during pregnancy check-ups; thatmothers be encouraged to take folic acid during pregnancy; and, that Colombia's health system and public policyaddress the problem of pregestational obesity.Revista Internacional - Indexad

    Foraging habits and levels of mercury in a resident population of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Caribbean Sea, Panama

    Get PDF
    International audienceA small and genetically isolated bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) population that resides year-round in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago-Panama (BDT). Photo-identification and genetic data showed that this dolphin population is highly phylopatric and is formed exclusively by individuals of the “inshore form”. This study aimed to investigate the trophic ecology and mercury concentrations of bottlenose dolphin in BDT to assess their coastal habits. We collected muscle samples (n=175) of 11 potential fish prey species, and skin samples from free-ranging dolphins in BDT (n=37) and La Guajira-Colombia (n=7) to compare isotopic niche width. Results showed that BDT dolphins have a coastal feeding habit, belong to the “inshore form” (δ13C= -13.05±1.89‰), and have low mercury concentrations (mean=1,637±1,387 ng g-1dw). However, this element is biomagnified in the BDT food chain, showing a marginal dolphins health risk (RQ=1.00). These results call for preventive dolphin conservation measures and continue monitoring the pollutant levels

    Breast cancer is a common disease partially caused by genetic risk factors. Germline pathogenic variants in DNA repair genes BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, ATM, and CHEK2 are associated with breast cancer risk. FANCM, which encodes for a DNA translocase, has been proposed as a breast cancer predisposition gene, with greater effects for the ER-negative and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtypes. We tested the three recurrent protein-truncating variants FANCM:p.Arg658*, p.Gln1701*, and p.Arg1931* for association with breast cancer risk in 67,112 cases, 53,766 controls, and 26,662 carriers of pathogenic variants of BRCA1 or BRCA2. These three variants were also studied functionally by measuring survival and chromosome fragility in FANCM -/- patient-derived immortalized fibroblasts treated with diepoxybutane or olaparib. We observed that FANCM:p.Arg658* was associated with increased risk of ER-negative disease and TNBC (OR = 2.44, P = 0.034 and OR = 3.79; P = 0.009, respectively). In a country-restricted analysis, we confirmed the associations detected for FANCM:p.Arg658* and found that also FANCM:p.Arg1931* was associated with ER-negative breast cancer risk (OR = 1.96; P = 0.006). The functional results indicated that all three variants were deleterious affecting cell survival and chromosome stability with FANCM:p.Arg658* causing more severe phenotypes. In conclusion, we confirmed that the two rare FANCM deleterious variants p.Arg658* and p.Arg1931* are risk factors for ER-negative and TNBC subtypes. Overall our data suggest that the effect of truncating variants on breast cancer risk may depend on their position in the gene. Cell sensitivity to olaparib exposure, identifies a possible therapeutic option to treat FANCM-associated tumors

    Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

    The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality

Germline pathogenic variants in DNA repair genes BRCA1, BRCA2, PALB2, ATM, and CHEK2 are associated with breast cancer risk. FANCM, which encodes for a DNA translocase, has been proposed as a breast cancer predisposition gene, with greater effects for the ER-negative and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtypes. We tested the three recurrent protein-truncating variants FANCM:p.Arg658*, p.Gln1701*, and p.Arg1931* for association with breast cancer risk in 67,112 cases, 53,766 controls, and 26,662 carriers of pathogenic variants of BRCA1 or BRCA2. These three variants were also studied functionally by measuring survival and chromosome fragility in FANCM−/− patient-derived immortalized fibroblasts treated with diepoxybutane or olaparib. We observed that FANCM:p.Arg658* was associated with increased risk of ER-negative disease and TNBC (OR = 2.44, P = 0.034 and OR = 3.79; P = 0.009, respectively). In a country-restricted analysis, we confirmed the associations detected for FANCM:p.Arg658* and found that also FANCM:p.Arg1931* was associated with ER-negative breast cancer risk (OR = 1.96; P = 0.006).

    Risk portfolio on modern finance has become increasingly technical, requiring the use of sophisticated mathematical tools in both research and practice. Since companies cannot insure themselves completely against risk, as human incompetence in predicting the future precisely that written in Al-Quran surah Luqman verse 34, they have to manage it to yield an optimal portfolio. The objective here is to minimize the variance among all portfolios, or alternatively, to maximize expected return among all portfolios that has at least a certain expected return. Furthermore, this study focuses on optimizing risk portfolio so called Markowitz MVO (Mean-Variance Optimization). Some theoretical frameworks for analysis are arithmetic mean, geometric mean, variance, covariance, linear programming, and quadratic programming. Moreover, finding a minimum variance portfolio produces a convex quadratic programming, that is minimizing the objective function ðð¥with constraintsð ð 𥠥 ðandð´ð¥ = ð. The outcome of this research is the solution of optimal risk portofolio in some investments that could be finished smoothly using MATLAB R2007b software together with its graphic analysis
