Filifactor alocis and Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Stimulate Synthesis of Visfatin by Human Macrophages
2021
There is little known about the effect of the periodontopathogen Filifactor alocis on macrophages as key cells of the innate immune defense in the periodontium. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of F. alocis and additionally of the pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF&alpha
Interpretar el concepte de RSE en estudiants de postgrau: repte per a la RSU
2019
espanolLas universidades que adoptan seriamente la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria (RSU) asumen la responsabilidad de formar profesionales comprometidos con la sociedad en la que viven, dotados de competencias eticas y con un fuerte sentido de ciudadania. En el caso de los postgrados que forman los futuros lideres empresariales, estas universidades deben otorgar a la Responsabilidad Social Empresaria (RSE) un lugar central en su malla curricular. Contar con informacion sobre el conocimiento e interpretacion de este concepto que poseen los nuevos estudiantes es un insumo critico para el diseno adecuado de programas academicos orientados a ese fin. En este documento se presentan los resu…
L'aborto ricorrente spontaneo
2004
Numerose ipotesi etiopatogenetiche sono state fatte riguardo l'abortività ricorrente e svariate terapie sono state adottate nel tempo.Oggi le nuove prospettive riguardano la correlazione ARS e trombofilia.
Nuevos factores de riesgo cardiometabólico en niños con obesidad severa: influencia del estado puberal
2010
The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the utility of new biochemical markers to assess cardiometabolic risk in severely obese children and adolescents. A total of 107 subjects aged 7 to 14 years, were clinically assessed and anthropometric measures and percentage of fat mass by single frequency bioimpedance analysis were recorded. Of these, 44 were non-overweight and 63 severely obese (body mass index Z-score >2.5) which were stratified by Tanner stages. To estimate the metabolic risk the following variables were considered for analysis: Waist circumference/height >0.5, fasting glucose >100 mg/dL, triglycerides >110 mg/dL, HDL-C 95th percentile for age and gender. Fasting insuli…
Suppression of radiative losses of surface polaritons on nanostructured thin metal films
2005
The strong electromagnetic coupling between surface plasmon polariton modes on opposite interfaces of a finite thickness periodically nanostructured metal film has been studied. Surface polariton dispersion and associated electromagnetic field distributions have been analyzed. It was shown that at a frequency that corresponds to the crossing of film Bloch modes of different symmetries, the radiative losses of surface polaritons that are related to the polaritons' coupling to light during propagation on the structured surface are suppressed.
Formalization and business Performance : Is operational performance a relevant link?.
2018
There is no consensus in the organizational literature about the relationship between formalization and firm performance. Some studies have suggested that formalization is beneficial for organization performance, but others have generated contradictory results. In this research, we try to analyze the relationships between formalization, operational performance, and business performance. To test these hypotheses, the structural equation technique was used on data from a survey carried out on organic agro-food Spanish industrial firms. The results obtained show that operational performance fully mediates the relationship between formalization and business performance. Our findings contribute …
An overview of ecopreneurship, eco-innovation, and the ecological sector
2019
Given the current trend toward a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly economy, the overlap between entrepreneurship and sustainability has become a key research area. Part of this trend is the emergence of ecopreneurial businesses. These businesses are pioneers in using innovation to achieve sustainable growth by exploiting market opportunities. This article presents an overview of the concepts of ecopreneurship, eco-innovation, and the ecological sector. A rigorous review of the literature in this area is presented. The results of this review show the key values and principles that are central to this new stream of research and shed light on opportunities for further research. The…
Sustainable Entrepreneurial Orientation: A Business Strategic Approach for Sustainable Development
2017
This paper proposes sustainable entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) as a multidimensional construct that offers researchers the possibility of empirically testing their theoretical proposals in the sustainable entrepreneurship field. The authors propose an integration of different theories. In accordance with the dynamic capabilities view, SEO is approached under an organizational paradigm of strategic orientations delimited by competitive culture and multiple orientation perspectives. Furthermore, SEO's nature is conceived at a firm-based entrepreneurship level and is based on an integrated triple bottom line sustainability. This approach is conceptualized using a categorization scheme and d…
Transgenerational innovation capability in family firms
2020
PurposeBased on the theory of dynamic capabilities, the purpose of this study is to examine how generation influences the effect of innovation capability on family business performance. To achieve this purpose, a moderation model is tested using the generational level as the moderating variable.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a sample of 106 family businesses CEOs who were surveyed by mail using the Limesurvey 2.5 platform. The results obtained were analyzed using the second-generation partial least squares (PLS) structural equation model. The MICOM (Measurement Invariance of Composite Models) approach was used to analyze the moderating effect.FindingsThis research sheds lights o…
