Objective: to establish the entrepreneurial profile of students belonging to Technology in Agricultural Management at the University of Caldas, based on sociodemographic characteristics and skills for entrepreneurship. Methodology: a cross-sectional descriptive study, with a comparative phase was conducted. 78 students were used for the study. The systematization was performed in SPSS program, version 11.5; univariate and bivariate analysis were carried out to establish possible relationships between variables. Chi square and phi tests were used to determine statistical significance. Results: it was found that the divergence between genders in terms of attitudes for entrepreneurship was highlighted; women are more competent in business processes, taking into account skills such as communication, interpersonal relationships, ability to withstand difficulties and failures, as well as tolerance to accept others' points of view. On the other hand, men are more competent delegating roles, being leaders, defining short and long-term strategies, transforming and improving products and services. Both genders can develop skills for entrepreneurship. Conclusions: students have medium and high levels of the skills required by a successful entrepreneur, such as leadership, discipline, self-control, ability to interact with others, responsibility, among others. However, there are also shortcomings in the development of activities with high levels of risk and uncertainty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivos. To describe the histologic and endoscopic characteristics reported among patients diagnosed with gastric cancer in "Daniel Alcides Carrion" National Hospital in Callao. Materials and methods. We performed a case series including all patients with histological diagnosis of gastric cancer from January 2009 to December 2011. Data were obtained from the registers of the pathology service of Daniel Alcides Carrion National Hospital. Factors such as age and gender of patients, histologic type, endoscopic location, presence of intestinal metaplasia, histologic degree, and cancer morphology were evaluated. Results. 120 patients were included. Mean age was 65.4 ± 13.6 years; 59 (49%) were male. Based on the histologic type, intestinal type was found among 68 (56%); diffuse type among 45 (38%), and a mixed type in 7 (6%). Regarding the site, 23 (19%) of gastric cancers were located in the fundus; 52 (43%) in the body; 39 (33%) in the antrum, and 6 (5%) in the pylorus. Patients with gastric cancer of the intestinal type were in average older than those with a diffuse type (69.1 ± 10.3 versus 59.3 ± 15.3). 60.3% of intestinal-type gastric cancers were located proximally, versus 66.6% of diffuse-type cancers. Conclusion. Among the studied population, diffuse-type gastric cancer appears at an earlier age than the intestinal type, and its most common location is proximal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
