- Asthma and rhinitis often co-exist in the same patient. Although some authors observed a higher prevalence and/or greater severity of asthma in patients with rhinitis, this view is not homogeneous and the debate continues. The aim of our study is to describe the prevalence of rhinitis in children and adolescents and to analyse their relationship with the prevalence of asthma. A multicentre study was conducted using the methodology of the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC). The target population of the study was all those school children aged 6–7 and 13–14 years from 6 of the main health catchment areas of Galicia (1.9 million inhabitants). The schools required were randomly selected, and all children in the targeted age ranges were included. Multiple logistic regression was used to obtain adjusted prevalence odds ratios (OR) between asthma symptoms of the schoolchildren and rhinitis prevalence. The results were adjusted for parental smoking habits, maternal education level, cat and dog exposure, and obesity. A total of 21,420 valid questionnaires were finally obtained. Rhinitis was associated with a significant increase in the prevalence of asthma in both age groups. The highest OR were 11.375 for exercise induced asthma (EIA) for children with recent rhinoconjunctivitis and 9.807 for children with recent rhinitis in 6–7 years old group. The prevalence OR’s are higher in EIA and severe asthmatics. Rhinitis in children and adolescents is associated with a higher prevalence and severity of asthma.

- Due to the low presence of edible oil in hard-currency stores in 2006 and the need of knowing their actual demand in the Cuban market, it became necessary to undertake a study of the levels of availability of this product. This study was performed to measure the availability of this product in a phase of implementation of the Model. The study was divided into two stages, a first one that discusses the availability of oil in the country with all the commercial chains and a second one that focuses on Havana and Commercial Chain TRD Caribe. In the first stage the level of availability was high (90,8%), while in the second stage availability levels dropped significantly to 45,84%. The levels of availability are analyzed in various stages of the supply chain, showing that there are large differences in levels of availability in the same period of time for different actors in the supply chain, which leads to the conclusion that there are problems in the organization of the logistics of the edible oil supply chain, which generates low levels of availability meaning low levels at customers service.

- Characterizing the logistic and supply chain level is a fundamental support for strategic development, not only for enterprises but also for the professionals training in these topics. The objective of the present article is to demonstrate that the use of reference models for logistic and supply chain, developed by the authors, is useful to characterize the level of those themes in the companies. The main methods that were used are: surveys, statistics, analysis and summary of data. As a result, a complete diagnosis is obtained with the different levels of logistic and supply chain concept application in a statistically significant sample of firms. The fundamental conclusion is that these models are validated and useful to characterize the aspects of logistic and supply chain in the Cuban enterprises, and constitute a guide to draw up development strategies.

- The objective of this study was to assess the current state of service sin SERVICIM at the Center of Molecular Immunology. To this were done surveys, interviews, observations, document review and performance indicator sin a period from 2003 to 2013. The main results high light that here is no culture in the provision of services by staff who offers it, even if there has been a gradual increase in the number of people satisfied with the services.
