MATHEMATICAL MODEL'S CHOICE REASONING AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE STRENGTH OF TECHNOLOGICAL VESSELS
Authors: Karpash Andrii , Oliinyk Andrii
Published: August 2017

In connection with the global increase in the intensity of use of working equipment related to high-risk facilities and the expiry of the service life limit, the question arises of determining the actual technical condition and forecasting the residual resource. From the analysis of the approaches to determining the technical state and on the analysis of regulatory documents, it becomes clear that the regulated methods of assessing the technical state are obsolete, such that they do not ensure the reliability of the obtained control results.

A new technique for determining the actual technical state through monitoring the level of stresses in the body of high-risk objects is proposed. The new technique takes into account additional physical and mechanical parameters that affect the stress-strain state, and have not yet been used. In other words, the technique of multivariable control of stress determination was proposed.

Mathematical models of the process of deformation and stress for cylindrical vessels with a spherical and conic dome operating under the action of high pressure are proposed.

Authors: Andreychuk Vladimir , Filyuk Yaroslav
Published: August 2017

An experimental facility for measuring and recording the flux density of solar radiation is designed and installed. An electrical circuit is developed and a pyranometer model is developed to measure the level of solar radiation, and it is graduated with a Soler Power Meter DT-1307 solar radiation flux meter. The time distribution of the flux density of solar energy is analyzed and the surface energy density of solar radiation is calculated for Ternopil. The influence of climatic conditions on the energy of solar radiation is determined. Analytical dependencies are obtained on the basis of comparison of the measured values of the flux density of solar radiation and the cloud cover taken from meteorological services. The energy potential of solar radiation during 2012-2015 in the western region of Ukraine is calculated, as well as the average monthly and average annual energy density of solar radiation. It is determined that the annual average density of the solar energy flux is 1045.9 kW∙h/m2, and its deviation does not exceed 5%. It is shown that the most favorable months for the use of solar energy are from March to September of each year.

Authors: Cázares de León Francisco , Vinaccia Stefano , Quiceno Japcy , Montoya Blanca
Published: August 2017

El objetivo de este artículo de revisión fue examinar y analizar la eficacia de los tipos de preparación psicológica empleados en los últimos ocho años para disminuir el estrés, la ansiedad y otras emociones de los pacientes ante un procedimiento quirúrgico. Método: Se realizó una revisión de literatura sobre la preparación psicológica en diferentes intervenciones quirúrgicas. Se realizó una búsqueda en la base de datos Medline y SCielo, utilizando las palabras clave: «psychological preparation for surgery» «psychological intervention and surgery» y se delimitó la búsqueda con las palabras «clinical trials» y «randomized controlled trial». Los criterios de inclusión fueron: ensayos clínicos controladosaleatorizados con resultados relacionados con la eficacia de la reducción del estrés, ansiedad y otras emociones. Se encontraron 17 ensayos clínicos que cumplieron los criterios de inclusión en la base de datos PubMed. En base de datos SciELO solo se encontraron dos estudios. Los datos nos muestran que las tendencias en preparación psicológica se han enfocado más a los procedimientos como la cirugía electiva, cirugía pediátrica, procedimientos con agujas, cirugías de corazón, cirugías para el cáncer y para la cirugía bariátrica. Sin embargo, la perspectiva de estas investigaciones tal vez pudiera centrarse en las enfermedades crónica degenerativas y con más estudios mejorados metodológicamente

MODELO CAVALEIRESCO DE DOM JUAN MANUEL E CAVALARIA CASTELHANO-LEONESA NA PASSAGEM DO SÉCULO XIII PARA XIV
Authors: Pisnitchenko Olga
Published: August 2017

Neste artigo propomos a analisar os traços que a entidade cavaleiresca adquire nas obras de Dom Juan Manuel: Libro del caballero y del escudero e Libro de los estados. Para que a nossa abordagem seja mais ampla e não fique presa somente aos escritos de Juan Manuel discutiremos alguns aspectos dos trabalhos que influenciaram o autor. Desse modo trataremos de Llibre de l'Orde de Cavalleria de Raimundo Lulio e Titulo XXI da Segunda Partida das Siete Partidas de rei Alfonso X, tentando compreender as razões das escolhas e interpretações que Dom Juan Manuel faz manejando estes dois modelos cavaleirescos, bastante distantes um de outro tanto no sentido político como espiritual.
AS DINÂMICAS DA ARGUMENTAÇÃO REGIA NA DISSOLUÇÃO DA ORDEM DO TEMPLO E NA CRIAÇÃO DA ORDEM DE CRISTO. UM ESFORÇO INTERPRETATIVO (1307/08-1319)
Authors: Fernandes Fabiano
Published: August 2017

Resumo:Tema clássico na historiografia sobre a Idade Média o processo de dissolução da Ordem do Templo e de criação da Ordem de Cristo normalmente é tratado com algo que ocorreu de forma quase que inteiramente harmônica em Portugal. Esse artigo vem questionar essa visão consolidada, em particular na historiografia portuguesa, tomando para análise certas cartas de sentença, a documentação do concilio de Vienne de 1311-1312 e parte da documentação relativa a criação da Ordem de Cristo.  A não utilização indiscriminada da violência física ou do processo inquisitorial estrito-senso deveu-se muito mais a uma opção estratégica dionisina do que necessariamente a uma boa vontade inata do monarca ou da monarquia como um todo. Ordem do Templo; Ordem de Cristo, Portugal Século XIV.
Pedagogía de la memoria entre la guerra y la paz
Authors: Arango Gabriel Jaime Murillo
Published: August 2017

El artículo parte del reconocimiento de la noción y práctica de pedagogía de la memoria que ha sido desarrollada en el seno del movimiento social y educativo del Sur post-dictadura, desde la última década del siglo XX. La así llamada Lección del Sur es asimilada a un programa de formación en ciudadanía democrática y derechos humanos que supone una ruptura con la tradición elitista y excluyente que reviste el programa de educación cívica, urbanidad y buenas maneras heredado del tiempo colonial, y se conjuga con la Lección de Auschwitz en la confrontación del proyecto deshumanizador encarnado en la figura del campo de concentración durante la II guerra mundial. Con estas premisas, el artículo esboza un horizonte posible de restitución de la dignidad de las víctimas y reconstrucción del tejido social desde los trabajos de memoria histórica en la sociedad colombiana agobiada por una guerra prolongada por más de cincuenta años.
A paz pela escola e as contribuições da Psicologia para os ideais da pedagogia pacificadora
Authors: Loureiro Clarice Moukachar Batista , Assis Raquel Martins de
Published: August 2017

O artigo apresenta um conjunto de discussões sobre as relações entre educação para a paz e psicologia elaboradas, ao final da década de 1920, por pesquisadores ligados ao Instituto Jean-Jacques Rousseau/Suíça. A partir do método descritivo-analítico, destacamos as teorias e técnicas levantadas ao longo da conferência A paz pela escola realizada em 1927 pelo Bureau Internacional de Educação, órgão ligado ao Instituto. Demonstramos como os conferencistas desse encontro conceberam a Psicologia como uma ciência central nas propostas de pedagogia pacificadora. Destacamos as concepções de Pierre Bovet sobre os instintos combativos e sociais, teoria psicológica que pretendia orientar o trabalho dos educadores que visavam a um ideal pacifista. Concebemos esse movimento como um projeto civilizatório, fundamentado, sobretudo, no conhecimento científico do ser humano. Para Pierre Bovet, a educação moral, social e religiosa deveria ser os três pilares da pedagogia pacificadora, contrapondo-se a outros cientistas da época, como Jean Piaget.
Interatividade nas culturas da infância: aproximações, amizade e conflitos entre bebês
Authors: Delgado Ana Cristina Coll , Würdig Rogério Costa , Cava Patrícia Pereira
Published: August 2017

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar a interatividade entre bebês em uma escola infantil municipal, com ênfase nas suas aproximações, relações de amizade e conflitos. Trata-se de uma investigação qualitativa, inspirada na etnografia com crianças, que utilizou como instrumentos para coleta de dados a observação com notas de campo e filmagens. O quadro teórico sustenta-se em autores que reconhecem os bebês como capazes de compartilhar experiências entre si, especialmente nas formas como se aproximam, criam laços de amizade e resolvem conflitos. Compreendemos a interatividade como construída social e culturalmente, pois, tratar da amizade e dos conflitos, apenas, no âmbito de uma disposição interna seria um contrassenso. A interpretação dos dados confrontou-nos com impressões, vídeos e notas de campo na produção de sentidos. Encontramos certa frequência nos agrupamentos intragênero e o estatuto da popularidade entre alguns bebês. Outro ponto a destacar é que as interações não se mantinham estáveis, provavelmente uma estratégia para manter contatos mais alargados e obter aceitação e participação no grupo.
Arte, educação e sociedade em György Lukács e na pedagogia histórico-crítica
Authors: Assumpção Mariana de Cássia , Duarte Newton
Published: August 2017

O objetivo deste artigo é mostrar que tanto a arte como a educação escolar estabelecem uma relação indireta e mediada com a sociedade, ao passo que incidem diretamente na formação dos indivíduos. György Lukács, em seus estudos estéticos, mostra que as obras de arte agem sobre a subjetividade dos indivíduos, desenvolvendo sua sensibilidade e enriquecendo suas formas de percepção da realidade. Dermeval Saviani, em seus estudos pedagógicos, mostra que o papel mediador da educação escolar, no interior da totalidade da prática social, promove a humanização dos indivíduos. Como exemplo das relações mediadas entre as produções culturais e a prática social, apresentamos uma breve análise da peça Antígona, de Sófocles.
Federalismo e relações intergovernamentais na implementação de políticas educacionais
Authors: Terto Daniela Cunha , Castro Alda Maria Duarte Araújo
Published: August 2017

O artigo tem como objetivo analisar os marcos conceituais do federalismo e os tipos de relações intergovernamentais (RIG) oriundos de seu funcionamento, evidenciando suas repercussões para a implementação das políticas educacionais. Toma como referência o Plano de Ações Articuladas (PAR), instrumento utilizado para estabelecer o regime de colaboração entre os entes federados, visando à melhoria da qualidade da educação básica. A pesquisa bibliográfica e a análise documental permitiram constatar que o federalismo é um regime político que requer compartilhamento de poder e interdependência entre os entes federados. No caso do PAR, ora se identifica com a interdependência, ora com a autoridade da União e a centralidade das decisões nesse nível de governo. Conclui-se, portanto, que é preciso avançar quanto ao aperfeiçoamento da coordenação federativa, no sentido de equilibrar as relações intergovernamentais, dotando os diferentes governos de autonomia e de capacidade técnica e arrecadatória para que possam participar dos processos decisórios acerca das políticas educacionais nacionais.

Authors: Jiang Nan , Xiong Chang , Zhou Chuanbo , Luo Xuedong , Lu Shiwei , Zhang Zhen
Published: August 2017

Introduction:

Blasting vibration velocity is an important index to evaluate the stability of mine slopes under blasting operations.

Objective:

In order to determine the blasting vibration safety criteria for slope rock mass scientifically and reasonably, the influence of stress waves on surficial rock mass of mine slopes was analyzed when stress waves propagate to the slope surface, and mathematical models for blasting vibration safety criteria are proposed based on the ultimate tensile stress criterion, the ultimate shear stress criterion and the Mohr-Coulomb criterion.

Results and Conclusion:

Combined with the field blasting operations during the open-pit to underground mining in Daye iron mine, the blasting vibration safety criteria is calculated. It is obtained that the blasting vibration safety criteria for the north slope and the south slope are 11.08cm/s and 10.20cm/s respectively. The results agree well with the Safety Regulations for Blasting in China and provide a reference to determine blasting vibration safety criteria for other similar projects.
Virtual Reality Smoking Cessation–Designed for Teens, by Teens
Authors: Wiederhold Brenda K. , Miller Ian , Wiederhold Mark D.
Published: August 2017

Introduction:

Today, about 90% of adult smokers started smoking before the age of 18. As the largest preventable cause of disease and death in the United States, tobacco use accounts for nearly 500,000 deaths and hundreds of billions of dollars to care for smoking-related illnesses every year. While most smoking cessation programs are geared toward adults, there is a void in attempts to curb teen smoking.

Objective:

With funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the Virtual Reality Medical Center (VRMC) sought to create a more effective way to help teens quit smoking. Utilizing cue exposure therapy to eliminate the association of smoking with objects and activities, the program uses virtual environments containing smoking cues to elicit the addictive behaviors and teach the users how to recognize and resist these triggers.

Method:

In a novel approach, VRMC recruited students from a local high school to aid in the design and development of virtual worlds in order to create an entertaining and effective program for teens. Researchers and the participants of this TeenSmoking program created a variety of anti-smoking environments ranging from scenarios at home, to peer pressure situations at school, all intended to elicit and educate users on addictive smoking behaviors.

Conclusion:

With past clinical success, researchers at VRMC hope to continue to implement widely available teen smoking cessation programs with enhanced usability, graphics, and multiplayer functionality. Overall, researchers hope to advance more comprehensive use of virtual reality to curb teen smoking addictions.
Lifting Loads on Unstable Platforms - A Supplementary View on Stabilizer Muscles and Terminological Issues
Authors: Kibele Armin
Published: August 2017

Many open motor skills, for example in team sports and combat sports, are executed under mild to severe conditions of instability. Therefore, over the past two decades, coaching professionals and athletes have shown increasing interest in training routines to enhance the physical prerequisites for strength performance in this regard. Exercise scientists have identified instability resistance training as a possible means to improve strength performance under conditions of instability with a special emphasis on the core muscles. In this letter article, more specifically, we firstly argue that effects of resistance training may be found not only in the core muscles but in the stabilizer muscles in general. Moreover, specific testing procedures are needed to assess strength performance under instability as compared to stable testing. As a second issue of this letter article, we consider instability to be an inappropriate term to characterize mild to moderate equilibrium disturbances during competition and exercise. Instead, when conceptualizing the human body as a dynamic system, metastability appears to better suit the conditions of strength performance on slippery surfaces, waves, during gusts of wind or tackling opponents for example. In fact, this term is conventionally used to characterize other dynamic systems in thermodynamics, financial markets, climatology, and social groups for instance. In the recent past, metastability has been discussed for issues in motor control as well. Hence, we argue that metastability idea should be applied to exercise science as well when assigning the biomechanical equilibrium conditions during perturbed strength performance.

The Emerging of New Democratic Space: CSOs and Parliament in Post-Soeharto Indonesia
Authors: Lay Cornelis
Published: August 2017

This article deals with the inclusion of civil society organizations (CSOs) in the decision-making processes in Post-Soeharto era in Indonesia. It argues that reformasi has created and multiplied the democratic space in both the national and local arena. It has not just enlarged the number of CSOs significantly, but also changed the nature of CSOs and has opened the boundary in relations to parliament. This development has confirmed the emerging of the new political space which is more democratic in nature, as witnessed by the present of Gaventa’s political space model - “claimed space” as opposed to undemocratic “closed spaces” or “limited space” during the New Order. This paper identifies the presence of a set spaces which is determining the whole course of decision-making processes. This research found the nature of a space, of being either “claimed”, “invited” or “closed”, is not only determined by who creates the space and able to make use of it within the given boundaries, but also by its relations to other set of spaces, issues in concern, time and infrastructure set up around the spaces.
From "Normative Power" to "Global Governmentality": An Assessment of European Union's Engagement of Civil Society in Indonesia
Authors: Umar Ahmad Rizky Mardhatillah
Published: August 2017

This article develops a theory of European power as ‘governmentality’, with a particular reference to European Union (EU)’s engagement of civil society in Indonesia through a package of “civil society strengthening programs”. In contrast to some arguments of ‘normative power’ or ‘civilian power’ in the European Union, that put emphasis on EU’s normative framework in explaining EU’s diplomatic engagements in world politics, this article argues that European Union’s global outreach is best seen as the politics of governmentality, which comprises the spread of norms to the “global south” through various developmental strategies in order to form particular subjectivities based on European Union’s “normative framework”. This argument will be applied to empirically explain the role of EU’s engagement of civil society in Indonesia. To substantiate the argument, this article will analyse (1) the debate on recent theorisation of “European power” in EU and International Relations studies, with a reference to Ian Manners’ conception of “Normative Power Europe”; (2) the snapshot of European Union’s key policies on International Development Assistance in Indonesia; and (3) the case of some projects related to “civil society strengthening programs” in Indonesia.
The Islamic Fundamentalist's Politics of Dissents and the Emergence of Urban Citizenship in Yogyakarta
Authors: Hasibuan Dana , Alvian Rizky Alif
Published: August 2017

This study seeks to add to the ongoing debate regarding the state of multiculturalism within Indonesia political landscape. Using Yogyakarta as an exemplary case, this study suggests that the so called radical groups’ political practices should be situated within the spatial formation of urban politics. This will shed new horizon on the political myth which has been redressing violence as values or belief-driven reproduced by certain groups and gradually expanding it as mode of political engagement. Representing space as a political register which is discursively constituted by three dominant discourses; local identities, multiculturalism, and lastly global terrorism. This study argues that Yogyakarta citizens are subjected to the interplay between these three forces which composed the urban space of Yogyakarta as a local, national and global entity. Within this context, the expression of radical groups should be viewed as politics of dissent which target to alter and appropriate the three spatial conjunctures which characterized Yogyakarta. This shows that the articulation of dissent and discontent are effective political forms to engage with the notion of urban citizenship.
Disengaged Citizens: Involuntarily Returned and Relocated Transmigrants in Southern Kebumen
Authors: Alfirdaus Laila Kholid
Published: August 2017

The government’s policy to return transmigration program participants, due to the explosion of conflicts in transmigration areas outside Java in the early 2000s to the district where these people originated has raised many questions of citizen engagement. This study aims to identify the impacts of the policy on the returned transmigrants using the idea of citizenship as a framework of analysis. The field research was conducted from December 2012 to February 2013 in Southern Kebumen using in-depth interviews with about 20 informants and direct observations. From the fieldwork, it is found that instead of resolving the problem by returning thousands of transmigration participants, which then was followed with collective relocation, has made the issue more complex. This later aspect caused multiple exclusions to the returned transmigrants socially and politically. The case highlights the government’s ignorance of the aspects of geography, ethnicity, cultures, religions, languages, and gender that define citizenship in the Indonesian context, and are impacted by the transmigration policy. Such ignorance has led to the acute political disengagement. Weak inclusion and over-simplification in the handling of the transmigration program (sending, returning, and relocating people from one place to another), due to the single definition of citizen and citizenship, which the government uses in treating people merely as ‘materials’ for boosting economic growth, instead of as citizens that have rights for recognition, seems to be the core explanation of this case. By elaborating this issue, this paper is expected to enrich the existing study on citizenship, especially the core problems that relate to (forced) transmigration policy, which is rarely discussed among scholars.

Published: August 2017

Objective: This research aims to determine the effect of the spray drying condition against encapsulation efficiency and characterization microcapsules of red ginger oleoresin.Methods: Preparation of encapsulation begun with the formation of emulsions by mixing red ginger oleoresin with chitosan solution which was dissolved with acetic acid 2% (v/v). The weight ratio of chitosan with red ginger oleoresin was 1: 1, 2: 1 and 3: 1 and then stirred using a homogenizer while added 2 ml tween 80 for 10 min. The size of emulsion droplet was measured using nanoparticle analyzer (NPA). The emulsion is formed and then inserted into the feed tank of a spray dryer. Inlet temperature of the spray dryer used in the 180 °C, 190 °C and 200 °C; and the spray dryer outlet temperature was 85 °C, feed rate at 2 L/h. The microcapsules formed were then analyzed encapsulation efficiency and characterization using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).Results: Based on the research that has been done, the smallest effective diameter of the emulsion droplets was 216.4±1.5 nm and the largest was 2109.2±46.1 nm. The value of encapsulation efficiency ranged between 83.33±0.42%-99.15±0.02%. Increasing the weight ratio of chitosan with red ginger oleoresin and increase the spray drying inlet temperature, the encapsulation efficiency is also increased. The highest encapsulation efficiency was 99.15±0.02% occurred at 200 °C of spray drying inlet temperature and the weight ratio of chitosan with red ginger oleoresin of 3:1. Morphology analysis of the surface of microcapsules using scanning electron microscope (SEM) showed that the inlet temperature of 200 °C was obtained microcapsules with smooth surfaces. The Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis results indicating the absence of new compounds is formed.Conclusion: This research indicates that the spray drying conditions affecting the encapsulation efficiency and morphological characteristics of the red ginger oleoresin microcapsules.

Objective: Hyperglycemia is a known risk factor which adversely impacts the outcomes in stroke patients compared to patients with normal blood glucose levels. Patients suffering from an acute stroke who are previously nonhyperglycemic may show elevated blood glucose levels. The present study was designed to measure the outcomes in denovo diabetic and diabetic stroke patients compared to nondiabetics.Methods: A prospective observational study over a period of 6 mo, in which 103 patients were divided into three cohorts based on their blood glucose levels (nondiabetic, denovo diabetic and diabetics). The modified Rankin scale (mRS) score was calculated at in-hospital admission and discharge in these three cohorts. The initial and final scores were correlated and mean differences with respect to outcomes between all the three cohorts was calculated.Results: The mean mRS at the time of hospital admission in diabetics and nondiabetics was 3.6±0.81 and 3.3±0.78 which decreased to 2.8±0.95 and 2.9±0.83 respectively at the time of discharge. The mean mRS score in denovo diabetic stroke patients during in-hospital admission was 4±0.81 which was calculated as 3.7±0.85 at the time of discharge. The mean difference in mRS score in diabetics vs non-diabetics was found to be 0.73±0.8 (p =<0.001). The mean difference in mRS score of denovo diabetics vs non-diabetics and denovo diabetics vs diabetics was 0.30±0.63 and 0.38±0.61 respectively (p = 0.1).Conclusion: Results of these observational study in Indian patients, highlights the need for controlling hyperglycemia in stroke patients to improve outcomes and to prevent mortality arising out of acute stroke attacks.

Objective: The present study aims at the development of a reversed phase ultra-fast liquid chromatography (RP-UFLC) method for measurement of the lipophilicity (log P) between n-octanol and water for the newly synthesized coumarin derivatives in our laboratory.Methods: The synthesized compounds were dissolved in methanol and analyzed using XTerra RP18 column as the stationary phase and a mixture of methanol (0.25% v/v octanol) and buffer as the mobile phase with isocratic elution.Results: In this study we concentrated on the relationship between a reversed-phase ultra-fast liquid chromatography (RP-UFLC) retention parameters and log P of our synthesized compounds. Furthermore, a good correlation and very close values were obtained between the experimentally determined log P values and values obtained from Chemdraw.Conclusion: The developed method was found to be insensitive to any of the impurities present and moreover it requires very little sample for analysis.

Objective: The present study was aimed at developing a rapid, cost effective and accurate method for quantification of exemestane using thin layer chromatography (TLC) separation followed by image analysis and to test it for monitoring the accumulation of exemestane during microbial bioconversion.Methods: After microbial bioconversion and TLC separation of products formed, exemestane was quantified using ImageQuant TL v2003 image analysis software and the results were compared with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis.Results: The percentage error between TLC and HPLC analyses was ranged from (-) 5.18 to (+) 5.51. Bacterial strains Arthrobacter simplex IAM 1660, Nocardia sp. MTCC 1534, Pseudomonas putida MTCC 1194 and Rhodococcus rhodochorus MTCC 291 respectively yielded 79.7 (72 h), 63.9 (72 h), 69.8 (96 h) and 83.2 (96 h) mole percent bioconversion of 6-methylene androstenedione to exemestane. Conclusion: Rhodococcus rhodochorus MTCC 291 was found to be the most suitable organism for the bioconversion and may be used to develop an eco-friendly route to replace chemical synthesis that eliminates the use of toxic chemicals and side products.
O currículo na contemporaneidade: filosofia e tendências
Authors: Berticelli Ireno Antônio , Telles Ana Maria
Published: August 2017

Este artigo tem como objetivo central identificar e analisar a filosofia que permeia os estudos curriculares das últimas décadas, buscando identificar as tendências teoréticas dos curriculistas. Para tanto foram compulsados em torno de trinta artigos, escolhidos de forma aleatória, em sua quase totalidade publicados dos anos de 2005 a 2015 e alguns livros com datas variáveis, mas que se situam na década de 1990 em diante. Nos valemos do método reconstrutivo, ou seja, a partir dos textos e respectivos autores estudados buscamos seguir o perfil teorético que os embasou. O estudo permitiu identificar forte tendência filosófica das assim ditas perspectivas pós-modernas/pós-estruturalistas e uma especial presença da lógica da diferença, face às novas identidades produzidas pelas condições do mundo vivido pelos humanos, na contemporaneidade. Mesmo posições teoréticas mais conservadoras já não deixam de abrir espaço para as características culturais regionais e locais a serem contempladas pelo currículo, nos dias
Análisis comparativo de estructuras urbanas (con énfasis en su patrimonio edificado) y la aplicación de sistemas de información geográfica. Los casos de Puebla y Hermosillo
Authors: Salamanca Montes Juan Francisco
Published: August 2017

Este trabajo constituye un primer acercamiento a lo que podría ser una propuesta de método o modelo de análisis comparativo entre las diversas ciudades de nuestro país, en esta ocasión Puebla y Hermosillo, a partir de una caracterización simultánea de los casos estudiados, en periodos relevantes, incorporando la aplicación de un sistema de información geográfica y desembocando incluso en el examen de aspectos más concretos, como lo es aquí el patrimonio edificado en los centros históricos. Los periodos analizados son cuatro: a) fundacional, b) el Porfiriato, c) la modernidad (los cuarenta) y d) los noventa. Se parte de una hipótesis según la cual el estudio comparado de dos o más componentes de un sistema, como lo es el de las ciudades mexicanas, es factible, tanto por similitudes como por diferencias, y de que en el análisis de sus procesos de fundación, evolución y planeación es posible identificar rasgos importantes, explicables a la luz de condiciones socioculturales y políticas, comunes en todo el país. Se trata de una propuesta sujeta a más pruebas, tal vez ampliando y profundizando en información pertinente; aplicándola inclusive a otras ciudades, acaso con propósitos más específicos o más ambiciosos.
Dos culturas bancarias en México. Estrategias bancarias nacionales y extranjeras después del TLCAN
Authors: Vargas Serrano Francisco
Published: August 2017

El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar las estrategias competitivas de los bancos comerciales de capital nacional establecidos en México con las correspondientes de los bancos extranjeros. Se presentan primero los estudios más recientes sobre la participación de los bancos extranjeros, luego se hace una revisión sobre las medidas de liberalización financiera que abrieron paso en México a la participación de los bancos extranjeros. Las medidas que se destacan tienen que ver con los cambios en el sistema de captación de inversión, especialmente las modificaciones al marco legal de la inversión extranjera y la firma del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN). Se expone también el escenario financiero ante el TLCAN para luego comparar las estrategias competitivas de los bancos nacionales y extranjeros con base en indicadores de riesgo, rentabilidad y de crecimiento de la participación de mercado. La conclusión es que las filiales de bancos extranjeros en México han logrado incrementar su participación relativa en el mercado mexicano con base en estrategias de penetración de bajos niveles de los riesgos de crédito y de liquidez.

Authors: Carrillo Jorge , Hinojosa Raúl
Published: August 2017

Resumen:La industria de los cables de arneses automotrices en México se inició en los ochentas y actualmente es el principal producto de exportación maquilador, y el segundo después de los motores dentro de la industria. Desde sus orígenes como una industria de ensamble simple con algunas plantas, ha logrado convertirse en el principal conglomerado industrial en estados como el de Chihuahua. Productores, competidores, proveedores y empresas de servicios dan cuenta de un cambio sustantivo en este proceso de aglomeración. El volumen de empleo ha aumentado considerablemente, y empresas de auto partes como Delphi son actualmente la principal fuente de ocupación privada en México. Tan sólo en materia de arneses, cuenta con 40,000 empleados. La evolución de esta industria se refleja en el cambio de rol del producto y en el avance tecnológico. Se ha convertido en el sistema nervioso central del automóvil, y en la medida en que aumentan el contenido tecnológico de los vehículos y la producción de sistemas integrados y modulares, su papel es cada vez más relevante. El artículo concluye, sin embargo, con la observación de que en el largo plazo las empresas de ensamble de arneses pueden emigrar hacia otras regiones más baratas como China.Palabras clave: arneses, industria automotriz, conglomerado industrial, cables de arneses, tecnología automotriz, Delphi.Abstract:The auto wiring harness industry began in the 80s, and today it is the main maquiladora export product, and second after engines in this industry. From its beginnings as a simple assembly industry with some plants, it has t u rned into the main industrial conglomerate in states as Chihuahua. Producers, competitors, suppliers, and public utilities give account of a fundamental change in this conglomeration process. The employment turn over has increased substantially, and auto parts companies as Delphi are today the main source of private employment in Mexico. Only with regard to harnesses it has 40,000 employees. The evolution of this industry is reflected in a change of the role of the product and the techno logical advancement. It has turned into the automobiles central nervous system, and as technological content of the vehicles and integrated systems production increase, its role is increasingly more relevant. This article concludes, however, that in the long term harness- assembling companies can emigrate to other regions with cheaper labor force as China.Palabras clave: harnesses, automotive industry, industrial conglomerate, wiring harness, automotive technology, Cluster, Delphi.
