Purpose: The aim of this paper is to examine the state of knowledge management research in
supply chain management from three standpoints, methodological approach, supply chain
management area, and ...knowledge management processes.
Design/methodology/approach: To achieve this, a systematic review is conducted over the
period 2000-2014 on the basis of a qualitative content analysis.
Findings: Major results showed that knowledge management can be viewed as a leverage
mechanism for: (i) supply chain integration; (ii) the enhancement of intra and inter-relations across
the supply chain; (iii) supply chain strategy alignment; and (iv) the reinforcement of knowledge
transfer in product development. Some supply chain management areas such as reverse logistics,
inventory management, forecasting/demand planning, outsourcing, and risk management have
been explored only to some extent. Furthermore, knowledge transfer is being studied in the
majority of the articles, mainly by both case study and survey approach; mathematical models and
simulation techniques are used in very limited articles. Findings concerning theoretical
perspectives and managerial issues are also described. Research limitations/implications: The limitation of our study encompasses the aspects of
search period (2000-2014), selection of search databases (Web of Science and SCOPUS and
language selection (English).
Practical implications: The exhibition of the KM processes within the SC context may help
practitioners and managers interested in implementing KM initiatives to replicate the
methodologies in order to increase the possibilities of a successful KM adoption.
Originality/value: The systematic review will contribute to the understanding of the present
state of research in the knowledge management theory, with focus on the supply chain, as there
are no state-of-knowledge studies that report a systematic literature review approach.
Nuestro trabajo se ocupa de la sinestesia lingüística (selección de lexemas en el sintagma que conlleva un proceso de transferencia significativa entre dominios de percepciones diferentes). Este ...fenómeno es muy intenso en las combinaciones de adjetivos de percepciones sensoriales y sustantivos que no pertenecen a la esfera perceptiva del adjetivo, como en color chillón. Nuestro objetivo es acotar el concepto de sinestesia dentro de la semántica léxica y distinguirlo de otros mecanismos generadores de polisemia, como la metáfora. Además, queremos ofrecer una explicación del proceso de transferencia significativa para determinar la orientación semántica de la selección léxica y los tipos de combinaciones sintagmáticas en los que intervienen los lexemas. Evaluamos qué paradigma resulta más rentable al abordar el fenómeno. Partimos de las semánticas componenciales, pero incorporamos a la explicación elementos propios de una semántica del hablar y de otras orientaciones (cognitivas y pragmáticas), atendiendo al contraste entre los distintos enfoques.
With origin as an Iron Age II settlement, Santa Criz de Eslava was a Roman civitas in the Vascones' territory with an economy based in agriculture. Recent archaeological excavations (2007-2016) has ...discovered the cryptoporticus, which sustained the porticoes of the south side of the forum, and its adjacent depot. A complete study of the architectonic structure and its decoration allow us now to the whole analysis of both its function and its final aspect, the fixing of its early stage, its reforms and a proposal of reconstruction to the whole public area. Sin embargo, es necesario advertir que los trabajos arqueológicos no han concluido, por lo que nuestra aportación es necesariamente susceptible de ser modificada en el futuro a partir de los nuevos hallazgos que puedan sucederse. l. EL CONTEXTO TOPOGRÁFICO E HISTÓRICO El cerro de Santa Criz tiene planta trapezoidal y está constituido por dos cimas amesetadas de forma triangular, una en su extremo oeste elevada 545 m s.n.m. y otra al este de 542 m s.n.m, entre las que se sitúa una zona llana que discurre a la cota de 530 m. Los flancos del cerro descienden pronunciadamente hasta alcanzar la cota de 515-510 m. Está situado a orillas del barranco de Pisaldea en el curso medio del Indusi, afluente del río Aragón, que discurre por su lado septentrional.
The aim of this paper is to contribute to the thread of research regarding the need for logistic systems for planning and scheduling/rescheduling within the agro-industry. To this end, an agent-based ...model driven decision support system for the agri-food supply chain is presented. Inputs in this research are taken from a case example of a Mexican green coffee supply chain. In this context, the decision support agent serves the purposes of deriving useful knowledge to accomplish (i) the decision regarding the estimation of Cherry coffee yield obtained at the coffee plantation, and the Parchment coffee sample verification decision, using fuzzy logic involving an inference engine with IF-THEN type rules; (ii) the production plan establishment decision, using a decision-making rule approach based upon the coupling of IF-THEN fuzzy inference rules and equation-based representation by means of mixed integer programming with the aim to maximize customer service level; and (iii) the production plan update decision using mathematical equations once the customer service level falls below the expected level. Three scenarios of demand patterns were considered to conduct the experiments: increasing, unimodal and decreasing. We found that the input inventory and output inventory vary similar over time for the unimodal demand pattern, not the case for both the increasing and decreasing demand patterns. For the decreasing demand pattern, ten tardy orders for the initial production schedule, an 88% service level, and nineteen tardy orders from the estimated production results, a 77% service level. This value falls below the expected level. Consequently, the updated aggregate production schedule resulted in ten tardy orders and an 88% service level.
In a randomized, multicenter trial involving boys with severe hemophilia A, the incidence of neutralizing antibodies to factor VIII was 87% higher with recombinant factor VIII products than with ...plasma-derived factor VIII products.
Hemophilia A is an inherited bleeding disorder characterized by plasma deficiency of coagulation factor VIII.

A major complication in 30% of patients is the occurrence of alloantibodies (inhibitors) that inactivate factor VIII activity and may nullify replacement therapy.

Risk factors include unmodifiable patient-related factors such as residual plasma factor VIII concentration and gene mutation.

El estudio reflexiona sobre las estrategias de adaptación a los entornos urbanos en el envejecimiento, con alusiones a América Latina. Los resultados indican la existencia de problemas derivados del ...reduccionismo analítico y la simplificación de los modelos teóricos sobre la adaptación ambiental y el envejecimiento. La desadaptación está determinada por las capacidades personales (exclusión social, discapacidad y dependencia) y, principalmente, por los problemas físico-sociales urbanos. Asimismo, se proponen estrategias de adaptación ambiental para el envejecimiento activo en el lugar, a partir de la evaluación de los activos personales, así como de los atributos y funciones del ambiente urbano.
