Villanueva-Mejía; Álvarez, J.C.; Gil, Alejandro; Restrepo, Martha Catalina; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Biodiversidad, Evolución y Conservaciónregeneration protocol for castor bean plant (Ricinus communis) was successfully developed using epicotyl sections obtained from in vitro seedlings.Ítem The effect of concept congruence on preference for culturally diverse apparel products(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2016-01-01) Min, S.; Ceballos, L.M.; Yurchisin, J.The global market for designer apparel, especially the American market, is attractive to include in Asian designers’ internationalisation strategies. In an effort to identify factors that may impact acceptance of Asian designers’ culturally inspired work in the United States (US), one of the most challenging and largest apparel markets in the world, this study explored the effect of consumers’ perceptions of self- and product-concept congruence on their attitudes and intention to purchase Asian designers’ apparel products. Results suggest that US females whose self-concept is consistent with the product-concept will be likely to have a positive attitude towards that product and, consequently, to intend to purchase that product. Managerial implications suggest that Asian designers entering the American market could target consumers by designing communication efforts to appeal to Americans who share personality characteristics similar to their Asian designs. © The Textile Institute and Informa UK Ltd 2016Ítem Efficient direct shoot organogenesis and genetic stability in micropropagated sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.)(BioMed Central Ltd., 2020-09-03) Restrepo-Osorio C.; Gil-Correal A.; Chamorro-Gutiérrez L.; Ramírez-Ríos V.; Álvarez J.C.; Villanueva-Mejía D.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Biodiversidad, Evolución y ConservaciónObjective: It is necessary to improve biotech platforms based on in vitro cell tissue culture to support sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) research programs and draw on the nutritional value of the high polyunsaturated fatty acid content of its oilseed. Here, we developed a rapid and efficient method for induction and direct in vitro shoot development for this species. Results: Shoots were generated from hypocotyl explants. The highest organogenic response was obtained in woody plant medium supplemented with 1 mg/L thidiazuron and 0.5 mg/L zeatin supplemented with L-glutamine, adenine hemisulfate, and L-arginine. Shoots obtained using this medium were transferred and subcultivated with different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid and 1-naphthylacetic acid for rooting. For the first time, a histological analysis was performed supporting direct organogenic development in this species. The plantlets obtained were transferred ex vitro with a survival percentage of 80%. The genetic stability of the plants recovered was confirmed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. All results indicate that it would be possible to stimulate direct shoot formation from hypocotyls to support the sustainable use of this species. © 2020 The Author(s).Ítem Family, Schools, or Culture: What Explains Differences in U.S. Student Achievement Across Ethnic Groups on PISA 2012?(Universidad EAFIT, 2017-12-17) Breton, Theodore R.; tbreton@eafit.edu.coU.S. students in different ethnic groups have very different average scores on the PISA 2012 mathematics and reading tests, with Blacks and Hispanics showing negative gaps relative to White students and Asians showing a positive gap. I investigate whether a student’s family characteristics or the school attended can explain these differences. I find that Hispanic parents’ low average education explains the largest share of the Hispanic achievement gap. In contrast, most of the larger negative gap for Blacks and the positive gap for Asians cannot be explained by family characteristics or the school they attend. Attendance at “bad” schools explains relatively little of the negative gaps, but Black students’ mathematics scores are substantially lower when they compose more than 50% of the class, which is not the case for Hispanic students. This evidence suggests that ethnic group culture is an important cause of Black and Asian student achievement gaps.Ítem Innovation capsule: Dimensions of innovation(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Mesa Cano, Jorge Hernán; Universidad EAFITVideo explaining the 4 main dimensions for companies to innovate.Ítem Japan: Japanese Cultural Promotion for Economic Development(Universidad EAFIT, 2021-12-17) Arguelles Gómez, Isabel; Universidad EAFITSoft Power is a strategy used by Japan since the Meiji restoration to position themselves domestically and internationally. Since the 70’s the government incorporates its cultural component as the fundamental tool to influence the actions of international actors. This has allowed the country to project a positive image, transforming its image into economic benefits. The objective of this essay is to analyze the promotion of the Japanese culture as a strategy of Soft Power for the economic development of the country. The paper will discuss Japan´s dedication to cultural and public diplomacy to project its image of a peaceful nation to improve the commercial relationship with its Asian neighbors. The use of Cool Japan for product promotion, tourism, and investment will be discussed later. It will end by examining how the government has reinforced traditional Japanese identity to project itself as an exemplary culture.Ítem Motete case(Universidad EAFIT, 2023) Mesa Cano, Jorge Hernán; Vidal, Velia; Universidad EAFITStory of a cultural entrepreneur and her reading initiative in Chocó, Colombia.
