Oportunidades y amenazas para Colombia de pertenecer a la Alianza del Pacífico

Por medio de este proyecto se analizaron las asimetrías presentes en las economías de los cuatro países miembros de la Alianza del Pacífico y cómo Colombia puede enfrentar estos y retos y convertirlos en oportunidades de acuerdo a la experiencia en diferentes áreas de sus países aliados. De acuerdo a las bases de datos de los países firmantes se encontró que la balanza comercial entre Colombia y México presenta un déficit y está en constante crecimiento, pudiendo ser contrarrestada con futuras negociaciones y especialización de la industria agropecuaria tomando mejores medidas sanitarias y fitosanitarias requeridas por dichos mercados. Igualmente se abren las puertas para ingresar a acuerdos con gran índole mundial como el TPP, al cual la República de Chile, los Estados Unidos Mexicanos y la República del Perú ya hacen parte lo cual representa para Colombia una oportunidad para penetrar al mercado de Asia – Pacífico y buscar la perdurabilidad de las empresas, industrias y sectores dentro de un contexto global.

Natural resource windfalls and efficiency of local government expenditures: evidence from Peru

We study the role of natural resource windfalls in explaining the efficiency of public expenditures. Using a rich dataset of expenditures and public good provision for 1,836 municipalities in Peru for period 2001-2010, we estimate a non-monotonic relationship between the efficiency of public good provision and the level of natural resource transfers. Local governments that were extremely favored by the boom of mineral prices were more efficient in using fiscal windfalls whereas those benefited with modest transfers were more inefficient. These results can be explained by the increase in political competition associated with the boom. However, the fact that increases in efficiency were related to reductions in public good provision casts doubts about the beneficial effects of political competition in promoting efficiency.

Problemas de coordinación motriz y resignación aprendida en Educación Física escolar.

Analizar la competencia motriz de los escolares y detectar aquéllos con baja competencia para relacionar sus rendimientos con variables motivacionales. Construir un instrumento de observación de la competencia motriz en las sesiones de Educación Física. 962 escolares de entre 4 y 12 años de edad de centros públicos y privados de las Comunidades Autónomas de Madrid y de Valencia. Se aplican diferentes instrumentos de detección de problemas motrices y de evaluación de variables motivacionales. Se realiza un análisis factorial para la validación de constructo de los instrumentos. Se realizan análisis de fiabilidad empleando el coeficiente alpha de Crombach y se calculan los índices de homogeneidad de cada ítem. Se llevan a cabo contrastes de hipótesis para los diferentes grupos muestrales según edad, género y dominancia lateral, empleando análisis multivariantes de la varianza y pruebas no paramétricas como el test U de Mann-Whitney y el test H de Kruskal-Wallis. Se calculan coeficientes de correlación ordinal entre las puntuaciones del test ABC y las diferentes variables motivacionales. Escala de Observación de la Competencia Motriz Infantil (ECOMI). Escala de problemas de conducta relacionados con los PECM de Henderson y Sugden. Test de Motivación de Logro en Educación Física de Nishida (AMPET). Test de Motivación de Logro en Educación Física (versión reducida del AMPET de Nishida) (MEF). Cuestionario de Competencia Motriz percibida en la infancia (CMP). Batería Movement ABC de Henderson y Sudgen. Se observa que no se puede afirmar que los sujetos con una baja competencia motriz deban manifestar siempre sentimientos de ansiedad y de baja percepción de su competencia motriz. Se observa que en las edades más tempranas (4-6 años), existe un menor nivel de competencia motriz percibida, lo que no se detecta en edades posteriores. Se constata la existencia de diferencias de género, favorables a los niños, en las tareas de competencia motriz general y control motor y, en éste último caso, éstas se perciben a partir de los siete años. Se confirma lo acertado del profesorado en la detección, a través de la observación, de escolares con problemas de coordinación y conductas negativas asociadas.

Analyse de la construction du jeu de savoir dans l’enseignement des jsc: un étude de cas en formation initiale

Dans cet article, nous étudierons les interactions entre un MEF (maîtresses en formation) et des élèves à propos d’un objet d’enseignement/apprentissage lorsque ce dernier désire construire et mettre en scène des contenus d’enseignement innovants en JSC (jeux sportifs collectifs). Nous serons donc amenés à nous intéresser à son action en ce qui concerne le choix des contenus d’enseignement et des tâches qu’il propose aux élèves par rapport aux orientations innovantes de l’enseignement des JSC et l’étude des processus de régulation lors des interactions didactiques qu’il met en oeuvre dans la gestion des situations d’enseignement/apprentissage

Modelagem numérica de estruturas de contenção atirantadas em areia

A numerical study on the behavior of tied-back retaining walls in sand, using the finite element method (FEM) is presented. The analyses were performed using the software Plaxis 2D, and were focused on the development of horizontal displacements, horizontal stresses, shear forces and bending moments in the structure during the construction process. Emphasis was placed on the evaluation of wall embedment, tie-back horizontal spacing, wall thickness, and free anchor length on wall behavior. A representative soil profile of a specific region at the City of Natal, Brazil, was used in the numerical analyses. New facilities built on this region often include retaining structures of the same type studied herein. Soil behavior was modeled using the Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model, whereas the structural elements were modeled using the linear elastic model. Shear strength parameters of the soil layers were obtained from direct shear test results conducted with samples collected at the studied site. Deformation parameters were obtained from empirical correlations from SPT test results carried out on the studied site. The results of the numerical analyses revealed that the effect of wall embedment on the investigated parameters is virtually negligible. Conversely, the tie-back horizontal spacing plays an important role on the investigated parameters. The results also demonstrated that the wall thickness significantly affects the wall horizontal displacements, and the shear forces and bending moments within the retaining structure. However, wall thickness was not found to influence horizontal stresses in the structure

Simulação de reservatórios não convencionais para armazenamento de gás natural veicular

The investigation of viability to use containers for Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) storage, with different geometries of commercial standards, come from necessity to join the ambient, financial and technological benefits offered by the gas combustion, to the convenience of not modify the original proposal of the automobile. The use of these current cylindrical models for storage in the converted vehicles is justified by the excellent behavior that this geometry presents about the imposed tensions for the high pressure that the related reservoirs are submitted. However, recent research directed toward application of adsorbent materials in the natural gas reservoirs had proven a substantial redusction of pressure and, consequently, a relief of the tensions in the reservoirs. However, this study considers alternative geometries for NGV reservoirs, searching the minimization of dimensions and weight, remaining capacity to resist the tensions imposed by the new pressure situation. The proposed reservoirs parameters are calculated through a mathematical study of the internal pressure according to Brazilian standards (NBR) for pressure vessels. Finally simulations of the new geometries behavior are carried through using a commercially avaible Finite Element Method (FEM) software package ALGOR® to verify of the reservoirs efficincy under the gas pressure load

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans lipopolysaccharide induces interleukin-6 expression through multiple mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways in periodontal ligament fibroblasts

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans plays a major role in the pathogenesis of aggressive periodontitis. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from A. actinomycetemcomitans is a key factor in inflammatory cytokine generation within periodontal tissues. In this study, we identify major mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways induced by A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS, Escherichia coli LPS and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) in a murine periodontal ligament (mPDL) fibroblast cell line. Immunoblot analysis was used to assess the phosphorylated forms of p38, extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) and c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) MAPK following stimulation with A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS, E. coli LPS and IL-1 beta. IL-6 mRNA induction was detected via reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, while protein levels were quantified via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). We utilized biochemical inhibitors of p38, ERK and JNK MAPK to identify the MAPK signaling pathways needed for IL-6 expression. Additional use of stable mPDL cell lines containing dominant negative mutant constructs of MAPK kinase-3 and -6 (MKK-3/6) and p38 null mutant mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells were used to substantiate the biochemical inhibitor data. Blocking p38 MAPK with SB203580 reduced the induction of IL-6 mRNA by A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS, E. coli LPS and IL-1 beta by > 70%, > 95% and similar to 60%, respectively. IL-6 ELISA indicated that blocking p38 MAPK reduced the IL-6 protein levels induced by A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS, E. coli LPS and IL-1 beta by similar to 60%, similar to 50% and similar to 70%, respectively. All MAPK inhibitors significantly reduced the IL-6 protein levels induced by A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS, E. coli LPS and IL-1 beta whereas only p38 inhibitors consistently reduced the A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS, E. coli LPS and IL-1 beta induction of IL-6 mRNA steady-state levels. The contribution of p38 MAPK LPS-induced IL-6 expression was confirmed using MKK-3/6 dominant negative stable mPDL cell lines. Wild-type and p38 alpha(-/-) MEF cells provided additional evidence to support the role of p38 alpha MAPK in A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS-stimulated IL-6. Our results indicate that induction of IL-6 by E. coli LPS, IL-1 beta and A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS requires signaling through MKK-3-p38 alpha ERK, JNK and p38 MAPK in mPDL cells.
