Tanto las empresas como los gobiernos han mostrado un claro interés en el fomento de la internacionalización. Pero no todas las empresas están capacitadas para acometer este reto con éxito, de forma autónoma. Las Organizaciones de Promoción de la Internacionalización (en adelante OPIs) son importantes en facilitar dichos resultados. No obstante, el problema es el desconocimiento general de las empresas en el rol y servicios ofrecidos por estas instituciones en aras de su internacionalización. Nuestro objetivo es mostrar a las empresas: quien les ayuda, las distintas OPIs que existen a disposición de las empresas y  como subobjetivos dar una visión general de los servicios que prestan, así como la utilidad que representan para las empresas. Para ello hemos analizado las principales instituciones de apoyo a la Internacionalización: supranacionales, nacionales y regionales referidas a España y los instrumentos que ofrecen. El trabajo  trata de sistematizar los servicios prestados y el beneficio que representan para las empresas. Así mismo se muestran instituciones de otros países, haciendo ver que todas las empresas, sin importar su ubicación, pueden recibir apoyos para su internacionalización.AbstractBoth, companies and governments, have shown a clear interest in promoting internationalization, but not all companies are qualified to undertake this challenge successfully. Organizations Promotion of Internationalization are necessary to facilitate these results. However, the problem is the general lack of knowledge shown by the companies to be aware of the role and services offered by the institutions for its internationalization. Our goal is to show institutions who helps companies to go abroad, as sub-goals to give an overview of the services provided by them to help companies. So we have analyzed the main institutions that support single companies internationalization: supranational, national and regional referring to Spain and those instruments that they offer. This article work is usefull to systematize the services they offer  and the benefit they represent for businesses. Likewise some institutions that provides this services in other countries are shown, regardless of their location all companies can receive support for internationalization.

The basic concepts of group technology are not new. The first use of the principles of group technology was described by an American, R. E. Flanders, in 1925. U.S. interest in group technology was slow to start, with initial flickerings in 1971 to 1973. If group technology is not new, why has it not been applied to the shipbuilding industry before now? In addition to the above-mentioned general lack of use, a complete lack of knowledge of it, and of its benefits is the most obvious reason. Actually, some shipyards in the world have utilized it and the paper describes some shipbuilding applications and gives examples of some new applications.

To meet the Millennium Development Goal for sanitation around 440,000 people will have to be provided with adequate sanitation every day during 2001–2015, and the corresponding figure to meet the WHO/UNICEF target of “sanitation for all” by 2025 is around 480,000 people per day during 2001–2025. The provision of sanitation services to such huge numbers necessitates action on an unprecedented scale. This is made even more difficult by the general lack of knowledge on the part of professionals and the intended beneficiaries about which sanitation arrangement is the most appropriate under which circumstances. A sanitation selection algorithm, which considers all the available sanitation arrangements, including ecological sanitation and low-cost sewerage, and which is firmly based on the principles of sustainable sanitation, is developed as a guide to identify the most appropriate arrangement in any given situation, especially in poor and very poor rural and periurban areas in developing countries.

A total of 1186 Egyptian students from the governorate capital cities of Menoufia, Beheira and Beni Sueif were interviewed between October and December 1993 to determine their knowledge of and attitudes towards human sexuality. The sample comprised 620 male and 566 female students aged 13-20 years [preparatory and secondary schools]. The results indicated that there was a general lack of knowledge of sexual issues. An informal programme is recommended to improve adolescents’ knowledge of sexual matters and correct misconceptions

The genus Aspicera Dahlbom (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae: Aspicerinae) is revised herein. Aspicera has a Holarctic distribution, being here cited for the first time from the following countries: Canada, Cyprus, Greece, India (northeastern corner, which is part of the Himalayan southeastern range and is considered as belonging to the Palaearctic), Japan, Jordan, Mexico, Montenegro, and Turkey. Morphological characters necessary to differentiate the species of Aspicera are described. The 27 previously described species of Aspicera were revised, always studying the type material when available (21 species); the type material of A. aegyptica Hedicke, 1928, A. chlapowskii Kieffer, 1901, A. coriacea Kieffer, 1901, A. lobata Hedicke, 1928, A. sibirica Kieffer, 1901, A. spinosa (Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1832) are lost or destroyed, these species were studied with the original descriptions. Of the 27 known species, 16 are considered as valid and are redescribed; A. effincta Belizin, 1952 is syn. nov. of A. suecica Dalla Torre & Kieffer, 1910, and A. brevispina Kieffer, 1901 and A. coriacia Kieffer, 1901 are syn. nov. of A. hartigi Dalla Torre, 1889. Aspicera nigra Ionescu, 1969, A. nigricornis Kirby, 1889 and A. rugosa (Hartig, 1843) do not belong to the Aspicerinae, but respectively to the genera Xyalophora and Neralsia (Figitinae), and Xyalaspis (Anacharitinae): Xyalophora nigra (Ionescu) n. comb., Neralsia nigricornis (Kirby) n. comb. and Xyalaspis rugosa Hartig status restored. Aspicera lobata Hedicke, 1928 is considered as ‘incertae sedis’. The examination of additional specimens suggests that there is a general lack of knowledge of the species diversity of this genus. Thirty two new species are described: A. adelae Ros-Farré n. sp., A. annae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. belizini Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. blancae Ros-Farré n. sp., A. buffingtoni Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. caminali Ros-Farré n. sp., A. carinata Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. dianae Ros-Farré n. sp., A. kovalevi Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. elisendae Ros-Farré n. sp., A. forshzarai Pujade-Villar & Ros-Farré n. sp., A. gemmae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. jantonii Ros-Farré n. sp., A. julii Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. kiefferi Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. magdae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. marginata Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. martae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. danielssoni Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. carlestolrai Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. mireiae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. porif Ros-Farré n. sp., A. marginata Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. punctifrons Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. readae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. robusta Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. santamariai Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. sergioi Ros-Farré n. sp., A. singularica Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp., A. teresae Ros-Farré n. sp., A. tomasi Ros-Farré n. sp., A. zuparcoi Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar n. sp. A key to all 48 valid species of Aspicera is given. All species are illustrated.

Despite the typical human notion that the Earth is a habitable planet, over three quarters of our planet is uninhabitable by us without assistance. The organisms that live and thrive in these “inhospitable” environments are known by the name extremophiles and are found in all Domains of Life. Despite our general lack of knowledge about them, they have already assisted humans in many ways and still have much more to give. In this review, I describe how they have adapted to live/thrive/survive in their niches, helped scientists unlock major scientific discoveries, advance the field of biotechnology, and inform us about the boundaries of Life and where we might find it in the Universe.

Questionnaires eliciting training histories and injury profiles were sent to the first team female hockey players and coaches of the top seven hockey schools in the Griqualand West and Southern Transvaal high school leagues during the 1990 hockey season.During this season, 27,4% (n=43) of the players reported that they had experienced pain in the lower leg area. The findings of this study suggest that some degree of pes planus may be a common problem and that the wearing of hockey boots may reduce the risk of lower leg pain.A general lack of knowledge about lower leg overuse injuries and their prevention was apparent amongst the players. The need for education on these injuries and their prevention was identified and recommendations for closer liaison between coaches and players were made.

Lack Of Knowledge

Background: Calcifying pseudoneoplasm of the neuroaxis (CAPNON) is a very rare benign lesion that can be located anywhere in the nervous system, with only 59 intracranial cases described. The general lack of knowledge about this lesion hinders its preoperative diagnosis. Despite the consistent image findings, the final diagnosis is only established based on anatomopathological and immunohistochemical studies. The lesion is more commonly positive for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and vimentin, and negative for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and S-100, suggesting a leptomeningeal origin. The opposite, however, may also occur, although very rarely (just two cases positive for GFAP and negative for EMA and vimentin reported this far). The treatment consists of total resection of the lesion, which yields a good prognosis. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 23-year-old female who presented with disperceptive focal seizures, sometimes evolving to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures, starting at age 9. She had a nodular calcified lesion in the left precuneus and inferior parietal lobe. The lesion was completely resected, and the immunohistochemical study revealed positivity for EMA, vimentin, GFAP, and S-100. No case hitherto published was positive for all four markers. This atypical immunohistochemical profile of the CAPNON may suggest a dual origin of this lesion, both parenchymal and leptomeningeal. Conclusion: The general lack of knowledge of CAPNON makes this lesion underdiagnosed. Therefore, in the face of a calcified lesion in the nervous system, one should consider the possibility of a CAPNON among the differential diagnoses. The immunohistochemistry is undoubtedly an important tool, but the anatomopathological study, associated with image findings, remain the gold standard for the diagnosis of CAPNON.

Background. Italy was the first western country to face an uncontrolled outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The epidemic began in March 2020 within a context characterised by a general lack of knowledge about the disease. The first scientific evidence emerged months later, leading to treatment changes. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of these changes. Methods. Data from a hospital in Genoa, Italy, were analysed. Patients deceased from SARS-CoV-2 infection were selected. Data were compared by dividing patients into two cohorts: “phase A” (March–May 2020) and “phase B” (October–December 2020). Results. A total of 5142 patients were admitted. There were 274 SARS-CoV-2-related deaths (162 phase A and 112 phase B). No differences were observed in terms of demographics, presentation, or comorbidities. A significant increase was recorded in corticosteroid use. Mortality was 33.36% during phase A, falling to 21.71% during phase B. When subdividing the trend during the two phases by age, we found a difference in people aged 65–74 years. Conclusions. There is scarce evidence regarding treatment for SARS-CoV-2 (especially for severe infection). However, treatment changes improved the prognosis for people under the age of 75. The prognosis for older people remains poor, despite the improvements achieved.

Prosaspicera Kieffer is an Aspicerinae genus (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae) with a mostly Nearctic, Neotropical, Afrotropical and Oriental distribution. Prosaspicera is here cited from the    Eastern Palaearctic (Japan) for the first time. Morphological features necessary to differentiate species of Prosaspicera are described. Although Prosaspicera brevispinosa Díaz, 1979, represents an atypical intraspecific variability that suggests it may be a species complex, other species of Prosaspicera are morphologically homogeneous. The type material of the 17 known species of Prosaspicera has been studied. Out of these 17 species, 15 are here considered as valid, since Prosaspicera africana (Kinsey, 1919) and P. kinsantua (Benoit, 1956) are both a syn nov. of P. tropica (Kieffer, 1910). These 15 valid species are here redescribed. The examination of hundreds of additional specimens supplied by different institutions suggests there is a general lack of knowledge concerning the species diversity of this genus. For the first time the males of P. optivus Quinlan, 1979, P. albihirta (Ashmead, 1887), P. pugionifera (Kieffer, 1907) and P. ueteri (Borgmeier, 1935) and, the females of P. aterrima (Kieffer, 1910) and P. validispina (Kieffer, 1910) are described. Fifteen new species are described: P. angustispina Ros-Farré sp. nov., P. carinata Pujade-Villar sp. nov., P. costulata Ros-Farré sp. nov., P. confusa Ros-Farré sp. nov., P. curvispina Ros-Farré sp. nov., P. dentata Pujade-Villar sp. nov., P. inaudita Ros-Farré sp. nov., P. joani Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar sp. nov., P. kiefferi Ros-Farré sp. nov., P. mariarosae Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar sp. nov., P. orientalis Pujade-Villar sp. nov., P. pseudoclavata Ros-Farré sp. nov., P. spinosa Ros-Farré sp. nov., P. splendida Ros-Farré sp. nov., and P. uniformis Ros-Farré sp. nov. A key to the 30 valid species of Prosaspicera is given. All species are thoroughly illustrated.

Young people’s beliefs concerning ecotourism were investigated in a qualitative study based on the focus group technique. Findings confirmed results of previous research work conducted with both adults and the young populations that had recorded a general lack of knowledge of the nature, aims and characteristics of ecotourism, as well as a lack of awareness of some of its potentialities like, for example, the benefits it could provide to local inhabitants. In addition, new insights were added to the existing literature concerning the characteristics and contents of the image of this tourism phenomenon which appeared to be affected by preconceptions and stereotypes.
