Abstract:
Neonatal hyperglycemia is a metabolic disorder found in the neonatal intensive care units. Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a very uncommon cause of hyperglycemia in the newborn, occurring in 1 in every 400,000 births. There are two subtypes of neonatal diabetes mellitus: permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM) and transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM). We describe a term, small for gestational age, female neonate with transient neonatal diabetes mellitus who presented with poor feeding tolerance and vomiting associated with hyperglycemia (385 mg/dL), glycosuria, and metabolic acidosis within the first 12 hours of life. The neonate was treated with intravenous insulin, obtaining a slight control of hyperglycemia. An adequate glycemia was achieved at 5 weeks of life. The molecular studies showed complete loss of maternal methylation at the TND differentially methylated region on chromosome 6q24. The etiology of this neonate’s hyperglycemia was a hypomethylation of the maternal TND locus. A rare cause of neonatal diabetes mellitus must be considered if a neonate presents refractory hyperglycemia. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Puerto Rico of transient neonatal mellitus due to the uncommon mechanism of maternal hypomethylation of the TND locus. Its prevalence in Puerto Rico is unknown.

Medina, Carlos. ""The Very Insides of Nationality": Reproduction, Reform, and Birth Control as Population Control in 20th Century Puerto Rico." OpenSIUC, 2020. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/dissertations/1853.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation examines the long term effects of population control initiatives brought to the U.S. commonwealth of Puerto Rico to reveal the connections between insular reform programs and the constraints placed on reproductive autonomy for Puerto Rican women in a colonial setting. The history of these interventions exposes how various interest groups including mainland reformers, the Catholic Church, Puerto Rican nationalists and socialists, and colonial intermediaries obscured the damage done to Puerto Rico through poor colonial management during the first thirty years of U.S. occupation by shifting the blame for Puerto Rico’s problems to the supposedly dangerous reproductive habits of poor and working class Puerto Rican women. In all cases, overpopulation discourse and the production of knowledge claims regarding Puerto Rican sexuality, reproduction, population control as a tool of modernization contributed heavily to these pressure groups’ appeals to legitimacy of rule over the island throughout the century. In less than fifty years the conflation of birth control practices, eugenic ideology, and population control legislation would transform Puerto Rico into a social science/contraceptive laboratory, having such a profound impact on the trajectory of birth control culture that a 1981 fertility survey showed that over one third (39%) of the island’s women were sterile. By analyzing the production of this distorted representation of insular conditions and reproduction trends in Puerto Rico during this early phase of U.S. control over the island, this dissertation explores how the convergence of modernizing reform initiatives, population control policy, social science, and overpopulation discourse contributed to the colonial domination of Puerto Rican women’s reproductive autonomy and transformed their into sites of colonial encounters despite living in a nation which denies its own colonial status and history.

Abstract:
El propósito de este estudio es analizar los antecedentes de las intenciones empresariales y los factores que influyen la transición de las intenciones al comportamiento empresarial (creación de la empresa). Son diversas las contribuciones de este estudio: (1) la evaluación de los determinantes de las intenciones implica mayor entendimiento del comportamiento lo que promueve el desarrollo de programas y políticas que impacten el comportamiento empresarial a través de las actitudes, (2) el análisis de los supuestos de de teorías de conducta planificada, específicamente los determinantes de las intenciones pondrá a prueba la validez de estas teorías en el campo empresarial, y (3) la evaluación de las transiciones durante el proceso de creación de empresas (desde la formulación de la intención hasta el comportamiento empresarial) incrementa nuestro conocimiento sobre el proceso de creación de empresas y los factores que promueven el nacimiento de la organización. Este último aspecto es de particular importancia debido a que la literatura demuestra que la relación entre intenciones y comportamiento es imperfecta (aproximadamente 30%). Dos muestras fueron utilizadas para arrojar luz sobre el proceso de creación de empresas en Puerto Rico: (1) datos del ‘Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’ y (2) empresarios nacientes. El ‘Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’ es un programa de investigación internacional que monitorea la actividad empresarial en las regiones y nos provee información (datos) para examinar los antecedentes a las intenciones empresariales (primera fase en el proceso de creación de empresas). A fines de evaluar los factores que impactan en la transición de intenciones empresariales y comportamiento empresarial se utilizo una muestra de individuos con intenciones empresariales (empresarios nacientes de un Centro de Desarrollo Empresarial en Puerto Rico, SBDCs por sus siglas en inglés). Se realizaron encuestas telefónicas con empresarios nacientes para evaluar los factores que impactan la transición de intenciones empresariales a comportamiento empresarial. Estadísticos descriptivos y de inferencia como el Análisis de Varianza fueron utilizados para resumir los resultados. Se utilizó análisis de regresión para corroborar las hipótesis. Finalmente, se discuten modelos de ecuaciones estructuradas en nuestro intento de desarrollar un modelo integrador de creación de empresas. En general, los resultados de esta investigación sugieren que aunque los modelos de intenciones proveen un marco de referencia para predecir comportamiento, hay mucho más envuelto en la predicción de conductas complejos como el comportamiento empresarial (creación de empresas).<br>The purpose of this study is to analyze the antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions; and the factors that influence the transition from intentions to entrepreneurial behavior (firm birth). The contributions are numerous: (1) evaluating the key determinants of intentions implies understanding behavior, which can lead to the development of policy that influences entrepreneurial behavior through attitudes; (2) analyzing the key assumptions of theories of planned behavior, specifically determinants of intentions will put to the test the validity of this theory within the entrepreneurial field; (3) assessing the transitions during the venture process (from intentions to firm behavior) increases our understanding of the entrepreneurial process and the factors that lead to the emergence of an organization, particularly when the relationship between intentions and behavior is imperfect (30%). Two samples were used to provide insights into the venture creation process in Puerto Rico: (1) Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Data and (2) nascent entrepreneurs. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, international research program that monitors entrepreneurial activity of regions, provided data to test the determinants of entrepreneurial intentions, the first stage in the entrepreneurial process. To examine the factors that influence the intention-behavior relationship we used a sample of individuals who manifested entrepreneurial intentions (nascent entrepreneurs from SBDCs). Telephone interviews (survey) were conducted with reported nascent entrepreneurs to evaluate the transitions from realized intentions to behavior. Results were summarized using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics such as Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Multiple regression analysis was conducted to test the hypotheses. Finally, Structural Equation Models were developed in attempts to construct an overall model of venture creation. In general the findings suggest that although intentional models provide a framework to predict future behavior, there is still much more involved in the prediction of behavioral outcomes such as entrepreneurial behavior.

Roman, Acevedo Annie Luz. "Strategies to Control Internal Factors Affecting Information Systems Projects in Puerto Rico." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/3119.

Full text
Abstract:
Many project managers and business leaders lack effective strategies to control internal factors that affect information systems (IS) projects, which may impede leadership's ability to respond to market changes. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies used by 6 purposefully selected project managers who successfully implemented information system development (ISD) projects by controlling the internal factors that affected different ISD project phases in Puerto Rico's telecommunication service industry. The framework that guided this study was coordination theory. The data collection process included semistructured interviews and project documentation including business requirements, project charters, project plans, and lessons learned which also served as resources for member checking and validation to strengthen the trustworthiness of the study. Analysis of the data occurred following Yin's 5 analytical steps of validating, coding, interpreting, summarizing, and generating themes. The 5 themes that emerged were top management support, clear requirements, communication, project plan, and lessons learned. Each theme corresponded to a phase of the project life cycle. Top management support and clear requirements were the top critical factors (TCF) in the initiating and planning phases. Communication and project plan were the TCF in the executing, monitoring, and controlling phases. Lessons learned were the TCF in the closing phase of the project. Implications for social change include helping IS project managers successfully implement IS projects, providing innovative services to customers, and improving an organization's position so it can provide jobs and economic stability in the region in which it operates.

Abstract:
Active asthma and asthma-related health care utilization are higher among adult females than they are among adult males in Puerto Rico. The purpose of this study was to examine the determinants of the risk of active asthma and associated health care utilization and asthma control among women in Puerto Rico. Guided by the Andersen behavioral model, the study included data from the Asthma Call-Back Survey (ACBS) during 2011 and 2012 in Puerto Rico. The associations between active asthma and behavioral, demographic, and environmental factors were assessed using logistic regression. The relationship between asthma-related health care utilization and predisposing, enabling, and need factors was examined using multiple linear regression. The association between achieved level of asthma control and asthma-related healthcare utilization was investigated using multinomial logistic regression. Results of the logistic regression indicated that being out of work, being in a middle income category, and being obese significantly increased the odds of active asthma. Being self-employed and being in the income category of $15,000-$25,000 significantly predicted the frequency of emergency room visits (ERVs). Results of the multinomial logistic regression indicated that physician urgent visit and ERV were significantly associated with poorly controlled asthma symptoms. The positive social change implication of these findings is that the identified risk factors can be used to develop asthma management plans to prevent and control asthma attacks in at-risk populations and reduce asthma-related health care utilization cost

Abstract:
<p> Puerto Rico has the highest prevalence of type 2 diabetes, low birth-weight, and the second highest prevalence of preterm-birth in all the U.S. and its non-incorporated territories. These conditions are related. Birth-weight at both ends of the spectrum and preterm-birth are associated with an increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes and immune-inflammatory dysregulations. Maternal psychosocial stressors during pregnancy have also been recognized as potential risk factors for type 2 diabetes, and have been consistently associated with preterm-birth and low birth-weight across populations. Current evidence points toward epigenetic fetal metabolic-programming as the mechanism that underlies the increased risk for the previously mentioned morbidities. However, the particular psychosocial stressors that may contribute to the high prevalence of low birth-weight and preterm-birth in the population of Puerto Rico have not been well studied.</p><p> The present study assesses the relationships between particular psychosocial stressors, socioeconomic status, food insecurity, and birth outcomes. The results of this study show that low-risk pregnancy women were more likely to have babies with a higher ponderal index if they were exposed to stressors during gestation months 5, 6, and 7, or if exposed to "relationship stress" at any time during pregnancy. Women exposed to "financial difficulties" at any time during pregnancy were more likely to deliver babies at an earlier gestational age. Differences in birth outcomes between the exposed and non-exposed women were independent of maternal anthropometric measurements, maternal age at birth, number of previous births, and sex of the baby. Significant differences in birth outcomes were found between categories of father's self-identified and identified by others ethnicity, but sample size within categories was small. Although mothers with children at home had higher levels of food insecurity, and the level of food insecurity was correlated with higher levels of stress, no birth outcome measure was associated with food insecurity.</p><p> Some results are atypical in comparison with other populations, and therefore these findings may contribute to the understanding of population differences in the relationship between maternal stress during pregnancy and birth outcomes. The relatively small sample size and strict exclusion criteria of this study may limit the generalizability of the findings. Epidemiological similarities between Puerto Rico and other populations, and the possibility of a higher ponderal index increasing the risk for type 2 diabetes in the population of Puerto Rico need to be examined in future research.</p>

Abstract:
This chapter examines the experience of a Puerto Rican Psychologist who has evaluated hundreds of patients with epilepsy and about 150 patients with Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES). Many of the patients were referred by Neurologists for the Psychologist’s clinical assessment of the situation. In about 1998, the Psychologist began to experiment with hypnosis as a convenient way to induce or provoke a PNES in patients. The results were astonishing: approximately 70% with a suspicion of PNES went into a psychogenic seizure within about ten minutes. The results and method were published in a journal dedicated to the subject of hypnosis. This method has permitted the Psychologist to observe in detail more than a hundred PNES. Also, as part of the research, the Psychologist included a control group of individuals diagnosed with epilepsy. None of the patients experienced a seizure during the hypnotic induction.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on recent developments in the language-status front. While the PPD has opted to leave the official languages issue alone, the PNP continuously pushed bilingual education as a step towards statehood. Furthermore, the PNP sought federal intervention in the form of a federal status bill which was patently designed to torpedo the Commonwealth option. Rejecting this proposal, Congress effectively threw the Commonwealth a lifeline. Unimpaired by congressional inaction, the PNP initiated status plebiscites in 2012 and 2017. Both used techniques designed to tip the scales in statehood’s favor. Congress has ignored both of their results. In a passive aggressive manner, the federal government has consistently favored the Commonwealth and has done so not because it particularly adulates it, but because it is the status that provides the US government with the greatest flexibility to control Puerto Rican affairs.

Abstract:
The use of gas turbines in relatively small grids is often connected with an additional requirement from the grid side. Such a requirement can be the increase of power production within seconds to support the stability of a grid. This topic was investigated thoroughly in 1985 for several types of power plants. In 1992 ABB received an order for a gas turbine power plant on the island of Puerto Rico where a fast loading response with 40% load increase within 3 seconds was required. Based on earlier investigations the order was accepted. The powerplant built a „Steam Enhanced Power (SEP) plant“, each consisting of three powertrains each with a gas turbine, a once through steam generator and an exhaust system with an SCR for emission control. This paper describes the control functions necessary to meet the requirements and the consequences for the operation of the plant. Results from the acceptance tests where the rapid loading from a standby mode at 60% load was simulated will be shown and discussed in detail.

Abstract:
Two major new Waste-To-Energy (WTE) Projects have received Air Construction Permits under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program during the past two years and a third is scheduled to receive its permit prior to NAWTEC 20. These new facilities are being required to operate with significantly lower emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and other major air pollutants than similar existing US facilities. This paper will explore the permitting process on these three projects and the divergent approaches being taken by the applicants to meet the stringent emission requirements imposed by the PSD permits. The Palm Beach County (Florida) Renewable Energy Facility No. 2 (PBREF No. 2) will be a three unit, 3,000 ton per day (tpd) mass burn facility which will utilize Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems similar to that used in many recent European WTE facilities for NOx control. The Fairfield (Maryland) Renewable Energy (Fairfield) and Aercibo (Puerto Rico) Renewable Energy (Aercibo) Projects are each two unit, 2,106 tpd Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) facilities which will utilize regenerative SCR (RSCR®) systems. This will be the first time RSCR® has been used in a WTE application. All three permits require achievement of a NOx emission rate of 45 parts per million by volume at 7% O2 dry basis (ppmvd). PBREF No. 2 and Fairfield received PSD permits from delegated state programs prior to the new Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and condensable PM2.5 permitting rules going into effect at the beginning of 2011. Aercibo is being permitted by United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II and will reflect new GHG and condensable PM2.5 permitting rules. This paper discusses the approach to the Best Available Control Technology (BACT) and Lowest Achievement Emission Rate (LAER) determinations and differences in final permit requirements.
