Inversion Analytics: Análisis sobre rentabilidad de inversiones mediante VAN y TIR

Inversion Analytics es una herramienta para facilitar el análisis en inversiones que se planteen en pequeñas, medianas y grandes empresas, en el que se plasmará toda la información necesaria para determinar los valores que entran en juego en la inversión. La aplicación realiza esta función mediante el cálculo de VAN (Valor Actual Neto) y TIR (Tasa Interna de Rentabilidad) de una inversión determinada, a partir de la información introducida por el usuario y teniendo en cuenta los distintos métodos de amortización de la inversión inicial, así como los distintos enfoques o supuestos en el que clasificaremos el horizonte temporal de la misma.

Infarto agudo de miocardio con mínima elevación del segmento ST: características, evolución y pronóstico.

En la pràctica diària hi ha síndromes coronàries amb elevació del segment ST que no compleixen de forma estricta els criteris diagnòstics de la definició universal de l'infart. Un 7,2% dels IAM de la nostra mostra presentaven una elevació del ST menor als criteris diagnòstics de l’IAM. El 70,4% d'aquests pacients no van rebre cap tractament de reperfusió en fase aguda. A la coronariografia el 73.4% dels pacients presentaven malaltia dels segments proximals o mitjos. Aquests IAM van presentar una baixa taxa de complicacions intrahospitalàries, però en el seguiment a 26,5 mesos destaca una important necessitat de noves revascularitzacions.

Características y factores pronósticos de los pacientes ingresados por síndrome coronario agudo sin elevación del ST en un hospital de tercer nivel

Registre per a estudiar l'impacte clínic de l'SCASEST a un hospital de tercer nivell. En un any van ingressar 310 pacients (54% Cardiologia, 46% Semicrítics/Unitat d'Estada Curta). La mortalitat hospitalaria va ser de l'1%; a 6 mesos va haver un 4,6% de morts i un 16% de reingressos. Edat, filtrat glomerular i FE van ser predictors de mortalitat; una troponina positiva i l'ingres a Cardiologia es van associar amb un menor risc de reingrés. Ingressar a Cardiologia es va associar a ser tributari de coronariografia i revascularització quirúrgica. El tipus de Servei pot tenir un impacte adicional en la hist��ria de l'SCASEST.

La Inspiració de Van Gogh

La Inspiració de Van Gogh ofereix una reflexió entre les similituds i coincidències de dues societats (la societat de finals del sXIX, i la societat actual) separades pel temps, però unides per la necessitat de trobar una sortida a tanta incomprensió artística i social.

A cartography of the Van der Waals territory

The distribution of distances from atoms of a particular element E to a probe atom X (oxygen in most cases), both bonded and intermolecular non-bonded contacts, has been analyzed. In general, the distribution is characterized by a maximum at short EX distances corresponding to chemical bonds, followed by a range of unpopulated distances the van der Waals gap and a second maximum at longer distances the van der Waals peak superimposed on a random distribution function that roughly follows a d3 dependence. The analysis of more than five million interatomic"non-bonded" distances has led to the proposal of a consistent set of van der Waals radii for most naturally occurring elements, and its applicability to other element pairs has been tested for a set of more than three million data, all of them compared to over one million bond distances.

Cap a on van els programes de garantia social

En el present estudi es descriu l'experiència de la implantació dels PGS en la comunitat de Castella-La Manxa, partint d'un marc conceptual en el que es descriuen les modalitats i característiques de programes. Es detallen les dades obtingudes mitjançant d'un estudi empíric que ofereix informació sobre els diferents agents (professorat, alumnes, famílies) que concurreixen en tals Programes de Garantía Social.

Ellis-Van Creveld Syndrome. Case report and literature review

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is a genetic disorder that was first described by Richard Ellis and Simon van Creveld in 1940. The four principal characteristics are chondrodysplasia, polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and congenital heart defects. The orofacial manifestations include multiple gingivolabial musculofibrous fraenula, dental anomalies, hypodontia and malocclusion. The disease can be diagnosed at any age, even during pregnancy. The differentiation should be made between Jeune syndrome and other orofaciodigital syndromes

New biogeographical and morphological information on Physaloptera ngoci Le-Van-Hoa, 1961 (Nematoda: Physalopteridae) in South-east Asian rodents

During a study of the helminth fauna of 1,643 rodents trapped along the Mekong River (Thailand, LaoPeople"s Democratic Republic and Cambodia) in 2008-2011, the spirurid nematode Physaloptera ngoci Le-Van-Hoa,1961 was recovered with an overall prevalence of 2.8%. Based on the original description, it was identified in nine of 23 different Murinae host species and is here reported for the first time from these three countries. A scanning electron microscopy study provides additional morphological data.

DOMINIQUE VALÉRIAN (ed.) (Cyrille Aillet, Sophie Gilotte, AnnelieseNef, Christophe Picard, Jean-Pierre Van Staëvel, Élise Voguet):Islamisation et arabisation de l’Occident musulman médiéval (VIIe–XIIesiècle)

This book is the result of a one-year seminar series"Islam médiéval d"Occident (VIIe-XVe)", held at the Colegio de España in Paris in 2006-07 by the Association des doctorants en histoire des mondes musulmans médievaux (Diwan http://diwan.hypotheses.org), and a second volume focusing on Arabization is expected (p. 33). The contributors" experience, alongside their university and research backgrounds, have led to the publication of articles of an outstandingly high level throughout this book. This scholarly achievement is combined with a thought-provoking theoretical framework, where Arabization and Islamization give a common theme to the proceedings, which are developed in four parts.

Prehospital ticagrelor in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Background:The direct-acting platelet P2Y receptor antagonist ticagrelor can reduce the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events when administered at hospital admission to patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Whether prehospital administration of ticagrelor can improve coronary reperfusion and the clinical outcome is unknown. Methods: We conducted an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study involving 1862 patients with ongoing STEMI of less than 6 hours' duration, comparing prehospital (in the ambulance) versus in-hospital (in the catheterization laboratory) treatment with ticagrelor. The coprimary end points were the proportion of patients who did not have a 70% or greater resolution of ST-segment elevation before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the proportion of patients who did not have Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow grade 3 in the infarct-related artery at initial angiography. Secondary end points included the rates of major adverse cardiovascular events and definite stent thrombosis at 30 days. Results: The median time from randomization to angiography was 48 minutes, and the median time difference between the two treatment strategies was 31 minutes. The two coprimary end points did not differ significantly between the prehospital and in-hospital groups. The absence of ST-segment elevation resolution of 70% or greater after PCI (a secondary end point) was reported for 42.5% and 47.5% of the patients, respectively. The rates of major adverse cardiovascular events did not differ significantly between the two study groups. The rates of definite stent thrombosis were lower in the prehospital group than in the in-hospital group (0% vs. 0.8% in the first 24 hours; 0.2% vs. 1.2% at 30 days). Rates of major bleeding events were low and virtually identical in the two groups, regardless of the bleeding definition used

Els mamuts es van extingir per falta de diversitat genètica

Els mamuts han sigut els mamífers més grans que hi ha hagut a terra ferma, i han esdevingut una icona de la prehist��ria. També són un paradigma de les extincions. Últimament, la possibilitat d'analitzar el genoma d'espècies extingides ha obert una nova porta per estudiar els mecanismes que porten a l'extinció. Un equip de recerca, internacional i multidisciplinari, ha analitzat i comparat el genoma de diversos mamut llanuts ( Mammuthus primigenius ). Segons l'estudi, publicat a Current Biology, la pèrdua de diversitat genètica va ser clau per a la seva extinció.
