Semiautomatic detection of myocardial contours in order to investigate normal values of the left ventricular trabeculated mass using MRI
2015
Purpose To propose, assess, and validate a semiautomatic method allowing rapid and reproducible measurement of trabeculated and compacted left ventricular (LV) masses from cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods We developed a method to automatically detect noncompacted, endocardial, and epicardial contours. Papillary muscles were segmented using semiautomatic thresholding and were included in the compacted mass. Blood was removed from trabeculae using the same threshold tool. Trabeculated, compacted masses and ratio of noncompacted to compacted (NC:C) masses were computed. Preclinical validation was performed on four transgenic mice with hypertrabeculation of the LV…
Strategic Analysis Tools Application at SMEs in Ecuador
2015
This article explores the nature and scope of Strategic Analysis Tools (SAT) application in SMEs located in emerging countries such as Ecuador (where there are no formal studies on the subject).

Industrial decline and resilience in the European Mediterranean periphery. Territorial and sectoral analysis in the region of Valencia (Spain) during…
2019
El descenso del sector industrial en la economía de la Comunitat Valenciana durante las dos últimas décadas ha sido muy acusado, ya que pasó del 25% del VAB en 1995 a menos del 17% en 2013. Este declive se explica por los cambios estructurales que tuvo que afrontar con la llegada del nuevo milenio para adaptarse a los nuevos patrones de producción y consumo propios de la globalización, que se vieron agravados por la crisis financiera de 2007. A partir de un enfoque por sectores y, a la vez, por territorios, se lleva a cabo un análisis de la evolución reciente de la industria valenciana. Se observa como el modelo predominante de esta industria sigue siendo el distrito industrial endógeno, si…

2019
Resumen El trabajo tuvo por objeto realizar una aproximación al modelo de la economía del bien común desde la organización de empresas, así como desde un análisis bibliométrico. Se realizó una comparación entre el enfoque empresarial de la economía del bien común y dife- rentes teorías organizativas: recursos y capacidades, stakeholders y creación de valor compartido. Mediante el análisis bibliométrico, se identificaron los trabajos publicados sobre la economía del bien común desde su surgimiento en 2010 hasta 2018, mediante búsqueda realizada en Web of Science y Dialnet.

Efeitos da sustentabilidade e valor logístico nas relações entre empresas de transporte marítimo
2020
Resumen El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar cómo la sostenibilidad (económica, social y ambiental), bajo el enfoque de triple línea base, afecta la calidad de servicio, el valor logístico y la satisfacción en empresas del sector marítimo. Se propone un modelo teórico que se contrasta con la información suministrada por una muestra de 50 responsables de empresas (transitarios, importadores y exportadores) en Panamá. La información se analiza mediante la estimación de regresión por mínimos cuadrados parciales, que permite confirmar el carácter multidimensional de la sostenibilidad y del valor logístico. Los resultados también confirman que las percepciones de los clientes sobre las inici…
