¿Qué ventajas hay en la industria o los servicios?
Este documento analiza las ventajas competitivas de la industria frente a los servicios en la Comunidad Valenciana. Identifica sectores industriales como el textil y el calzado donde la CV tiene ventajas de productividad. Sin embargo, la productividad industrial es menor debido a menos inversión en I+D, menor tamaño de empresas y menor internacionalización. Aunque los servicios representan el 73% del PIB, su productividad también es menor. El documento propone mejorar la regulación, fiscalidad, formación y clima para las empresas para aumentar la productividad

The document discusses a bronze bull statue that was added to the campus of USF St. Petersburg in 2013. It immediately attracted attention from students due to its anatomically correct genitals. This sparked debate about what the statue represents and why only the St. Petersburg campus bull statue includes genitals. Some view it as a symbol of school pride or masculinity, while others see it as unimportant or just meant in jest by giving the male bull a female name. The statue's purpose is officially to instill school spirit and tradition, but interpretations vary.

1) α1-Antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder characterized by low levels of α1-antitrypsin protein, which protects the lungs from damage. This predisposes patients to early-onset pulmonary disease like emphysema and COPD.
2) While α1-antitrypsin deficiency is one of the most common inherited conditions, affecting about 1 in 2000 to 5000 people, it often goes undiagnosed. Prompt diagnosis allows lifestyle changes and specific augmentation therapy to slow lung disease progression.
3) Augmentation therapy, administering weekly intravenous α1-antitrypsin protein supplements, can significantly reduce the decline in lung function for patients with α1-
2012 cts guidline_alpha-1
This clinical practice guideline from the Canadian Thoracic Society provides recommendations for targeted testing and augmentation therapy for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The guideline was developed using a systematic review of the literature and consensus process. The evidence supports targeted testing for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency in individuals diagnosed with COPD before age 65 or with a smoking history of less than 20 pack-years. The evidence also supports consideration of alpha-1 antitrypsin augmentation therapy in nonsmoking or former smoking patients with emphysema and documented severe deficiency, as it may provide benefits in lung density and mortality when used with optimal COPD treatment.

Sat 0810-smith-case-for-legalizing-medically-assisted-dying-in-canada- -park
This document summarizes a presentation by Dr. Derryck H. Smith arguing for the legalization of medically-assisted dying in Canada. Dr. Smith outlines the common arguments for and against assisted dying, noting evidence does not support claims it would undermine palliative care or lead to abuse. Data from jurisdictions where assisted dying is legal show it is infrequently used and mostly by well-educated, terminally ill patients wishing to control their death. Dr. Smith argues individual autonomy should drive policy over religious beliefs alone, and that legalization need not compromise palliative care access or oversight.
