Structural Changes in U.S. Economy: 2010 – 2020
Authors: Davydov Andrey
Published: July 2022

This article covers the major trends of structural changes in US economy during 2010–2020. Statistical analysis shows that mining industries and agriculture have very insignificant effects on US gross domestic product. Meanwhile liquid natural gas (LNG) and agricultural products are important articles of American export. Traditional manufacturing corporations are also decreasing their effects on American economy. Modern services are considered to be the most prospective for economic development and they add the largest value to US gross domestic product. Financial services, insurance and real estate trade demonstrate very high productivity of labor. Informational, professional and business services are also important for U.S. economy. And these branches have outstanding export potential. In the Section 2 the major problems of labor market are being analyzed. The author proves that majority of American employees is being engaged in service industries. Growing unemployment is considered to be the most serious problem of labor market. In the Section 3 structural changes in the sector of government finance are being researched. The structure of federal budget was stable enough during the period of 2010–2020. Military expenses share of budget expenses is decreasing, but social and health care expenditures are very high. The current operating role of the Federal Reserve in budget deficit financing is being analyzed. The author proves that FRS and foreign sponsors of American debt give up their place to American private investors. In the long run this situation may create serious problems for federal debt financing. As a result, U.S. dollar position as an international reserve currency may be weakened. Dollar share in international trade and financial markets may also decrease.

Published: July 2022

Este trabajo presenta la implementación de un diagnosticador de fallos en línea, para la detección de fallos operacionales presentes en la planta piloto de procesamiento de aguas, en el marco del proyecto REAGRITECH de la cátedra Unesco de sostenibilidad, modelada como un sistema de eventos discretos (SED), haciendo uso de redes de Petri interpretadas (IPN). Se realiza un análisis de funcionamiento del sistema real, del cual se identiﬁcan algunas escenas de funcionamiento, que permiten la construcción de un controlador encargado de representar, de forma simulada, el comportamiento real de la planta. A partir de este, se obtiene una matriz de información de entradas-salidas (E/S), donde las entradas corresponden a las señales de mando de control, y las salidas son las señales de sensores. Estos datos se ingresan como parámetros a un algoritmo de identificación, que entrega como resultado el modelo de la IPN identiﬁcado a partir de los datos, es decir, información de una IPN: matriz de incidencia A, función de entrada (Fe) con las etiquetas asociadas a las transiciones, la función de salida (Fs) y una matriz de salida φ que relaciona los sensores con cada plaza del sistema. Con base en el modelo identiﬁcado se realiza un análisis de detectabilidad para saber si el sistema es detectable o no por eventos, y se construye un diagnosticador a partir de fallos predeﬁnidos. Se concluye que el diagnosticador implementado es capaz de detectar fallos presentes en la planta piloto de procesamiento de agua, en el marco del proyecto REAGRITECH, haciendo un análisis del marcado en los lugares de diagnóstico y en los lugares Post de riesgos del sistema.

Authors: Alabbas Alaa Abdul-Kareem , Abed Amal
Published: July 2022

The marshes contain natural and human resources, and these resources represent the available capabilities that constitute the economic basis for the process of developing the marshes. The marshes derive their water from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and rainwater. They are considered the main source for them, and the area of land covered with water expands at the time of the flood in the late winter and early spring. Its levels decrease in the summer during the dry days. The research problem crystallizes in the fluctuation of the quantity of water input into the marsh region, which results in the contraction and expansion of the areas of the land submerged therein. So, the goal of the study is to look at the reality of the marshes of the marshes and figure out how the submerged areas are changing and how they affect the area. The study relies on the descriptive analytical approach to statistical data and considers the Central Marshlands as a model. The research reached a number of results, the most important of which is that changing the ecosystem as a result of fluctuating water reaching it and shrinking submerged lands. In addition, the research proposes, is to use a basin and low marshes as a large water reservoir to preserve water in times of floods from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, rain, and torrents. Conclude water agreements with upstream countries to ensure continued inspection of water on a regular basis and the stability of Iraq's water resources is thus reflected positively on the marshes.

Published: July 2022

An ELV is a vehicle that has reached the end of its service life or service due to age or because it is unable to be used due to a catastrophic accident and high repair costs. The current methods of destroying ELV vehicles are unregistered, disassembly, destruction, and disassembly. Each procedure must adhere to predetermined guidelines. The purpose of this study is to conduct a survey of dietary knowledge about end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) in Indonesia. As a result, the purpose of this research is to learn about ELV laws and their implementation in countries that have done so successfully, as well as to learn about public perception of ELV application in Indonesia. A literature search of ELV laws in neighboring countries was conducted, as well as a survey of 98 respondents in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. SPSS was used to analyze the survey results. The questions in this study were divided into four sections: respondents' backgrounds; knowledge of ELV; concerns about ELV; and ELV campaigns. The findings revealed that public awareness of the use of ELV was quite low. In general, it can be concluded that the application of ELV in Indonesia needs to be carefully studied before it is implemented in order for it to be accepted by the public. Additionally, more ELV-related campaigns are required to increase the knowledge and awareness of the Indonesian people.

Published: July 2022

The importance of service quality is undeniable. For years, numerous marketing professionals have researched its direct and indirect impacts on customer satisfaction and loyalty. Academics have proposed empathy, responsiveness, assurance, reliability, and tangibles as the primary drivers of service quality, university-related physical items or resources (technologic apparatus, smartboards, air conditioners, garden facilities, sports facilities, computer laboratories, etc.). The capacity of a service provider to offer essential service or acceptable and trustworthy responses to a student's demands or questions is referred to as reliability. This research aimed to benchmark the service quality dimensions of the architectural engineering department compared to other departments at Tishk International University-Sulaimani, Iraq. A quantitative research method has been applied. To do this, we have used ServQual and asked those questions to more than 100 students from architectural engineering, civil engineering, and business management departments. The data were analysed, and the results were initially analysed through regression analysis, and the obtained standardised weights of the regression analysis have been used for benchmarking after being normalised. The results show that the architectural engineering department delivered the best service quality compared to civil engineering and the business management department.

Kilka uwag o wybranych niegdysiejszych pomocach do nauczania polszczyzny w środowisku frankofońskim
Authors: Zarębski Rafał
Published: July 2022

W artykule dokonano charakterystyki wybranych dawniejszych (powstałych w drugiej połowie XIX i na początku XX wieku) podręczników do nauki języka polskiego przeznaczonych dla publiczności frankofońskiej. Zwrócono uwagę na uwarunkowania zewnętrzne (kontekst historyczny, społeczny, instytucjonalny) i wewnętrzne (struktura podręczników, dobór treści tematycznych, rodzaj i jakość materiału egzemplifikacyjnego), które wydają się istotne w opisie tego typu źródeł z zakresu glottodydaktyki historycznej. Postawiono tezę, że zaproponowany sposób opis dawnych źródeł może skutkować holistyczną wizją dawnych podręczników i być pomocny w zapewnieniu im właściwego miejsca w historii polszczyzny.
Pragmatyka nominacji жид i złożeń z podstawą słowotwórczą жид- w dyskursie rosyjskiego ruchu konserwatywno-prawosławnego
Authors: Zemszał Piotr
Published: July 2022

Nominacja жид w języku rosyjskim jest negatywnie nacechowanym i stylistycznie niskim, obraźliwym określeniem używanym w odniesieniu do osób narodowości żydowskiej. Prawdopodobnie zdawano sobie z tego sprawę już w XVIII w. W XIX wieku nominacja ta była jeszcze używana jako neutralna w stylu potocznym, ale od początku XX wieku coraz powszechniej uznawana była za obraźliwą. Dziś jej inwektywny charakter nie budzi wątpliwości, co więcej, jej bezpośrednie używanie naraża nadawcę na sankcje karne. Dlatego w antysemickim dyskursie współczesnych rosyjskich radykalnych nacjonalistów unika się bezpośrednich użyć. Nie oznacza to rezygnacji z nominacji жид. Pojawia się ona w cytatach, w funkcji metajęzykowej czy w użyciach ironicznych. Zasada unikania bezpośrednich użyć nominacji nie dotyczy natomiast interfiksalnych złożeń z podstawą słowotwórczą жид-, które stosowane są bez żadnych ograniczeń.
Społeczny wymiar dziennikarskiego wywiadu – studium przypadku
Authors: Ślawska Magdalena
Published: July 2022

Artykuł prezentuje analizę genologiczną ważnego społecznie tekstu – wywiadu Anny Dziewit-Meller z Janiną Bąk pod tytułem „58 blizn”. W tym konkretnym tekście autorka odnalazła dwa moduły interakcyjne: wywiad jako intymne wyznanie (perspektywa upublicznienia prywatności, coming out) oraz wywiad – jako społeczny manifest. Te dwie splatające się perspektywy zostały rozpoznane na poziomie gatunkowych aspektów: struktury, miejsc strategicznych, przywołanego tematu choroby psychicznej oraz celu wywiadu. Na poziomie pragmatycznym analiza wypowiedzi dziennikarki i bohaterki wywiadu świadczą o świadomości gatunkowej, o świadomości publicznego odbioru tekstu. Kompozycyjne połączenie intymnego wyznania z publicystycznym, społecznym wymiarem ma wyraźny edukacyjny charakter, ma wręcz funkcję społecznej interwencji. Analizowany wywiad jest także realizacją dyskursu. Stanowi bowiem ważny ślad dyskursu o wykluczeniu, chorobie, ujawnieniu intymności. Jednocześnie jego społeczny kontekst wyraża się w umiejętności definiowania własnej tożsamości, nazywania trudnych doświadczeń ze świadomością „publicznego” funkcjonowania w świecie mediów.

Cataloging librarians make myriad choices every day as they create the metadata necessary for information retrieval.  Each record represents an interaction between the cataloger and the systems they work within and, sometimes, against. Their work is highly constrained by standardized machine-readable fields and codes, controlled subject terms and classification schema. In the exploratory research project Catalogers at Work, the authors use sound recording to reveal the complex yet hidden negotiations embedded in library catalog records.

Published: July 2022

O termo inflamação refere-se a lesões teciduais com consequente alterações circulatórias e celulares, gerando rubor, calor, edema, dor e perda funcional. Ademais, a sensação dolorosa nomeia-se nocicepção, originada do processamento de estímulos nocivos. Para combater esses processos quando se tornam patológicos, busca-se por substâncias novas, destaca-se aquelas derivadas de compostos naturais, como a própolis. Este artigo objetiva avaliar os efeitos sobre nocicepção e inflamação a partir do uso de fração hexânica de extrato de própolis da abelha nativa Melipona quadrifasciata. Foram utilizados camundongos Mus musculus machos em dois modelos experimentais. No teste da Placa Quente, os animais foram dispostos sobre superfície aquecida e quantificou-se, em segundos, o tempo de latência de retirada da pata frente ao estímulo térmico para análise da hiperalgesia. Na avaliação do Edema de Pata, houve indução da inflamação através da injeção intraplantar de carragenina, e mensurou-se o edema com um paquímetro para avaliação da atividade anti-inflamatória. Na Placa Quente, o extrato não demonstrou diferença significativa quando comparado ao controle, e apresentou diferença quando comparado à morfina. No teste de Edema de Pata, o extrato demonstrou diferença significativa quando comparado ao controle em t=0,5h (11,01%) e t=2h (11,97%). O presente trabalho apresenta dados que reiteram o potencial anti-inflamatório do extrato, embora o efeito antinociceptivo não foi observado no teste de hipersensibilidade térmica. Dessa forma, reforça a necessidade de mais estudos acerca desta fração e valorização do uso de substâncias alternativas no auxílio do tratamento de nocicepção e inflamação.

Published: July 2022

Este estudo tem por objetivo relatar uma experiência de estratégias de educação em saúde, abordando sexualidade, prevenção de infecções sexualmente transmissíveis (ISTs) e empoderamento do corpo adolescente em escolas na cidade de Boa Vista, Roraima. Utilizaram-se oficinas lúdicas e interativas, além de rodas de conversas de método transversal para abordar os temas: gravidez na adolescência; puberdade; questões de gênero; ISTs; sexualidade; estereótipos sociais; machismo; heteronormatividade e homofobia. Primeiramente, foi realizada uma oficina com intuito de divulgar conhecimentos para a prevenção de ISTs e de gravidez precoce. Notou-se que mesmo com o êxito na divulgação dos conceitos biocientíficos, a barreira sociocultural impera. Portanto, reafirma-se a necessidade de intervenções com conteúdo preventivista, porém, entende-se que são insuficientes para atingir a educação plena em saúde, a quebra dos mitos e a contribuição necessária pelos ambientes escolares no desenvolvimento sexual infantil. Na segunda oficina, o foco foi no debate de conceitos da pluralidade sexual e da identidade de gênero. Nessa, percebeu-se que apesar da existência de conhecimentos prévios quanto a sexualidade, os alunos escolares persistiam em acreditar em uma sexualidade heteronormativa e, em sua maioria, rejeitavam a existência de outras identidades de gênero. Isto é, as barreiras socioculturais novamente são mais importantes para o enfrentamento da homofobia e da transfobia que a falta de conceitos-chave sobre sexualidade. Por fim, pode-se afirmar que estas intervenções fortalecem a formação profissional dos acadêmicos de medicina, ao passo que ampliam a discussão acerca da sexualidade no ambiente escolar, sendo um passo importante para debater a educação sexual e suas metodologias.

Authors: Garzón Laura María Quirós , Torres Mariana Costa , Borba Mauro Riegert
Published: July 2022

Médicos veterinários desempenham papel importante em muitas situações relacionadas à saúde dos humanos. No entanto, estudos têm relatado que uma proporção considerável de estudantes de graduação em Medicina Veterinária não demonstra um real interesse por temas diretamente associados à saúde pública. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo de caso descritivo, no primeiro semestre de 2020, buscando compreender como os graduandos da Faculdade de Veterinária da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, percebem sua formação em saúde pública e são incentivados a refletir e trabalhar, no futuro, como profissionais da saúde pública. Dos 248 estudantes contactados, 39 responderam a um questionário online composto por 20 questões fechadas e 4 abertas. Os principais resultados observados foram que os alunos (i) estão mais interessados ​​em atividades e disciplinas relacionadas à medicina de animais domesticados para a companhia, (ii) percebem que poucas disciplinas relacionam adequadamente suas disciplinas com a saúde pública e (iii) veem a saúde pública como um campo relevante em sua formação e considerariam trabalhar neste. Embora esses resultados mostrem um comportamento que já foi observado em alguns estudos no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos, reforçando que muitas vezes o currículo dos cursos não prepara adequadamente os estudantes em muitos aspectos da saúde pública veterinária, esses ainda se mostram abertos a oportunidades para lidar com diferentes desafios na saúde pública. Por fim, espera-se que os resultados obtidos possam contribuir, principalmente em nível local, para a discussão e melhoria do atual cenário referente à formação de estudante de Medicina Veterinária.

Authors: Jawad Nida
Published: July 2022

Purpose of the study: This study aims to evaluate smart lifestyles, especially in the context of washroom planning, to attain water conservation for sustainable development. Water is one of the essentials of life as we can not imagine our lives without water, so it is the primary need of the day to conserve as much water as we can. It is the harsh reality that water is being wasted without realizing its significance. This study aims to challenge the conventional ways of consuming water in our day-to-day life and aims to bring changes in how we can conserve and preserves this important natural resource. Methodology: To get a clear insight into water conservation as well as its preservation,   a survey was conducted at the 45 housing units of Apex Residency PCSIR II Lahore Pakistan which represents the middle class of our society. Interviewed were conducted from different age groups of each family. Water consumed per day by each member was estimated and further compared with water consumption to get a fair idea if they had been using smart lifestyles or not.   This study has made an attempt to consider modifications in three basic things; brushing, taking shower and washing hands and face. The data analysis was performed using SPSS ver.22. Main Findings: It was found that 156 liters of water per person is being used in just three activities in a day out of which 46 litres of water per person can be saved daily. However, it is very important to make a plan as to how to preserve it. Applications of the study: local administration of Lahore should devise a local plan for viable water frugality. Smart washroom fixtures are a must while planning smart washrooms. The novelty of the study: This study assessed and evaluated our local population at large and eventually facilitated us with local results, which truly represent how we deal with this important natural resource. We as a Nation need to discuss and analyse all these points in detail and should try to modernize our lifestyles to preserve as much water as we can in our day-to-day life.

Authors: Cho Hyung-Ju , Ha Jong Gyun , Kim Chang-Hoon
Published: July 2022

Olfaction is an important aspect of quality of life, beyond simply smelling food and recognizing danger. Recently, research has focused on its association with various diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases or viral infections. The evaluation of olfactory function must take into consideration the cultural experience of the target group. A new Korean culturefriendly olfactory function test, the YSK olfactory function test (YOF test, Kimex Co.), uses safe odorants, such as phenyl-ethyl alcohol (PEA) (not n-butanol), for the threshold test. Furthermore, odorants in the YOF identification test reflect each of eight major chemical functional groups. The diagnostic cut-off for anosmia was a Threshold Discrimination Identification (TDI) score of ≤14.5 and that for hyposmia was 14.5<TDI≤21.0. The YOF test showed relevant diagnostic validity for olfactory dysfunction when compared with the Korean version of the Sniffin’ Stick-II test. In this review, we share our experiences developing a new Korean-friendly olfactory function test.

Authors: Yun Young Bin , Bae Woo Yong , Kim Sangjun , Park Min Gyoung
Published: July 2022

Primary sinusoidal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) is a very rare disease. The main symptoms of sinusoidal NHL are rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, and post-nasal drip. Symptoms such as eye protrusion, diplopia, trismus, and periorbital pain can also occur. Epiphora is a very rare symptom of sinusoidal NHL, which can lead to a misdiagnosis of dacryocystitis or dacryostenosis. The authors report the case of a 46-year-old female patient who visited hospital for symptoms of epiphora, which did not improve even after 3 months of eye treatment, leading to a final diagnosis of maxillary NHL.
The Roles of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor, Angiostatin, and Endostatin in Nasal Polyp Development
Authors: Hong Tae Ui , Park Seong Kook
Published: July 2022

Background and Objectives: Microvascular remodeling and angiogenesis are elements of tissue remodeling characteristic of chronic inflammatory diseases, including nasal polyps (NPs). Angiogenesis reflects the balance between the actions of pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. Many pro-angiogenic factors are known, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). A number of anti-angiogenic factors (e.g., angiostatin and endostatin) also has been identified. Our objective was to assess the roles of VEGF, angiostatin, and endostatin in NP development.Methods: The expression levels of VEGF, angiostatin, and endostatin were measured in NPs harvested during endoscopic endonasal surgery and compared with those in inferior turbinate mucosa (control) samples acquired from patients with hypertrophic rhinitis without allergy. Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze all samples.Results: The levels of VEGF and angiostatin were significantly higher in the NP subjects than in the controls. Neither the VEGF/angiostatin ratio nor the endostatin level differed significantly between the two groups. However, the VEGF/endostatin ratio was significantly higher in the NP than in the control group. Both the NP and control tissues were diffusely immunoreactive for VEGF, angiostatin, and endostatin.Conclusion: NP-associated hypoxia can elevate angiostatin level; moreover, an imbalance in the VEGF/endostatin ratio can contribute to NP formation.
Time-optimal trajectory generation in joint space for 6R industrial serial robots using Cuckoo search algorithm
Authors: Karahan Oguzhan , Karci Hasan , Tangel Ali
Published: July 2022

The trajectory planning problem in industrial robotic applications has recently attracted the great attention of many researchers. In this paper, an optimal trajectory planning approach is proposed based on optimal time by utilizing the interpolation spline method. The method including a combination of cubic spline and 7th order polynomial is used for generating the trajectory in joint space for robot manipulators. Cuckoo Search (CS) optimization algorithm is chosen to optimize the joint trajectories based on objective, including minimizing total traveling time along the whole trajectory. The spline method has been applied to the PUMA robot for optimizing the joint trajectories with the CS algorithm based on the objective. With the trajectory planning method, the joint velocities, accelerations, and jerks along the whole trajectory optimized by CS meet the requirements of the kinematic constraints in the case of the objective. Simulation results validated that the used trajectory planning method based on the proposed algorithm is very effective in comparison with the same methods based on the algorithms proposed by earlier authors.

This paper aims to present vulnerability with the respective control mechanisms and to propose an approach for avoiding hijacking threats by using one-time cookies along with other prevention strategies. The study uses a la review of literature, by analyzing resources from existing literature. Based on recent OWASP guidelines, session hijacking of attack is indeed one of the most frequent attacks that happens lately. Session hijacking happens as a result of poorly designed websites and a lack of security mechanisms, where the user's identity and session data are exposed.

Authors: Soenardi Narakhanti , Bembinov Maxim
Published: July 2022

PICO question

Compared to in-person veterinary consultations, does teleconsultation lead to similar levels of client and clinician satisfaction?

 

Clinical bottom line

Category of research question

Qualitative assessment

The number and type of study designs reviewed

Eight studies were critically appraised. There were six cross-sectional studies, one randomised controlled clinical trial, and one case report

Strength of evidence

Weak

Outcomes reported

All eight studies provided weak evidence of similar levels of clinician and / or client satisfaction

Conclusion

Teleconsultation can lead to similar levels of client and clinician satisfaction when compared to in-person consultations. However, the evidence is weak due to the subjectivity and varied methods of measuring satisfaction. Furthermore, the current applicability of veterinary teleconsultation is still very limited to certain select scenarios in which it is appropriate (e.g., emergency, triage, remote locations, non-complicated routine postoperative checks, nutrition and behavioural consults)

 

How to apply this evidence in practice

The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

La presente investigación se desarrolló en Compañía Minera Cerro de Pasco (CMCP) donde se busca aplicar el uso del Plasma como agente de fragmentación de macizo rocoso en sectores productivos de la mina cercanas a zonas de expansión urbanas. La finalidad del estudio consiste en comparar los valores de Velocidad Pico Partícula (VPP) entre el uso de Plasma Frag Be vs el ANFO a una distancia promedio igual en ambos casos. En tal sentido, se construye el modelo matemático Imperialist Competitive Algorithm (ICA) – linear, el cual permite estimar valores de VPP y a su vez modificar las variables de entrada como el burden, el espaciamiento, la longitud de taco, el factor de carga, la cantidad máxima de Plasma por disparo y la distancia entre el punto de fragmentación y la ubicación del sismógrafo. El modelo ICA-linear queda validado mediante la aplicación de 4 indicadores de rendimiento estadísticos los cuales son: el coeficiente de determinación, el error cuadrático medio, el error absoluto medio y el error porcentual absoluto medio cuyos resultados son 0.817, 5.001, 1.979 y 14% respectivamente. Los resultados de comparar los valores de VPP a una distancia promedio de 172 metros como se determinó según el estudio, en el caso del Plasma Frag Be los valores estimados son nulos, es decir no se registrarán valores a dicha distancia, mientras que en el caso del ANFO los registros muestran un valor promedio de 8.802 mm/s para la misma distancia mencionada, lo cual demuestra que los valores de VPP en el caso del uso del Plasma como fragmentador de macizo rocoso son considerablemente menores que cuando se utiliza ANFO.

El presente estudio de investigación implemento el programa de seguridad basado en el comportamiento orientado a lograr reducir los índices de accidentabilidad, aumentar los actos estándares y cambiar la cultura de seguridad de la empresa. Para ello, como primer antecedente se tuvo el estado actual del sistema de gestión de seguridad y salud en el trabajo (SGSST) de la empresa, el diseño del programa, la implementación orientada a la observación y retroalimentación positiva y finalmente la evaluación de los resultados por un periodo de tres meses. Todo ello, implica estudiar y comprender la metodología para incluirlo dentro del Sistema Integrado de Gestión de prevención de riesgos, como propuesta de mejora continua. Asimismo, como parte del programa se analizarán las conductas y comportamientos; los cuales serán plasmados en un formulario de la empresa en estudio, para observar si son o no seguras y cuáles podrían ser las causas inmediatas y/o básicas del comportamiento del trabajador.
Modelo de un Programa Anual de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional basado en la metodología PHVA para actividades de construcción de PAD de lixiviación en minería superficial

Published: July 2022

Durante los últimos años, en el marco de la actividad minera superficial en Perú, se ha presentado un elevado número de accidentes debido a la aplicación débil de los Sistemas de Gestión en Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional. Este problema impacta en la salud y bienestar del colaborador y por el lado de la empresa minera, genera pérdidas económicas y un impacto social negativo. En este contexto, el presente trabajo de investigación busca proponer un modelo del Programa Anual de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (PASS) para las actividades de construcción de un PAD de lixiviación según la metodología PHVA y basado en el D.S. Nº024 – 2016 – EM. Este modelo establecerá lineamientos, procedimientos y requisitos mínimos para que la organización pueda prevenir, controlar y reducir los accidentes asociados a su personal en el proyecto. Asimismo, se busca que este PASS pueda servir de modelo a otras compañías mineras; el cual establecerá un patrón tanto para minas superficiales que se encuentran en proyecto; como para aquellas que ya cuentan con uno, pero funcionan de forma deficiente en sus actividades operacionales. La presente tesis se realizó en base a Programas anuales de SSO de organizaciones mineras certificadas en normas internacionales, además de requisitos legales, estadísticas de accidentes en minería, tanto superficial como específicamente en PAD de lixiviación, procedimientos de SSO, análisis de riegos basado en IPERC y la identificación de los elementos componentes de la herramienta de mejora continua PHVA. Finalmente, se espera que los niveles de accidentabilidad puedan reducirse con la implementación del modelo de PASS; si bien no es la única herramienta, esta establecerá un camino a seguir. Además, promoverá la inversión minera en el país, debido a que las estadísticas demostrarán la mejora en el Sistema de Gestión de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional, lo cual resaltará el valor del recurso humano dentro de la organización y la importancia de alentar la cultura de prevención.
El uso e impacto de las técnicas de grabación y mezcla analógica en la producción musical estadounidense de pop y rock (2011-2017): Alternativas para su aplicación en el estudio digital
Authors:   , Rodríguez Salinas Roberto Javier
Published: July 2022

El presente trabajo de investigación trata de identificar y analizar la influencia y la aplicación del audio analógico en la producción musical contemporánea, abarcando diversos criterios: sonoro/técnico, de ejecución, social, de preservación o archivo, entre otros. A pesar de que el audio digital, y el uso derivado de las herramientas de edición y mezcla, se consideran el estándar en la industria musical actual, se conoce que un número importante de productores, ingenieros y artistas siguen empleando hoy en día las técnicas de grabación y mezcla analógica desarrolladas décadas atrás. Por ello, el audio analógico surge como una alternativa a los procesos de creación y producción musical modernos, tanto a nivel sonoro como de ejecución. Este trabajo parte del desarrollo técnico y estético en la grabación analógica, realizando comparaciones con su contraparte digital. Para ello, se toman en cuenta las opiniones y los procesos de producción de productores musicales y profesionales a cargo de las producciones discográficas más relevantes en los últimos años en el circuito norteamericano. Es en estas producciones donde se evidencia el uso creativo del audio analógico, así como su adaptación al entorno digital. Finalmente, se tiene en cuenta al productor independiente como principal beneficiario de esta publicación, quien conoce directa o indirectamente los beneficios del audio analógico, pero no necesariamente cuenta con los recursos para integrarlo a su estación de trabajo. Por ello, se busca brindar herramientas y soluciones para poder emplear e integrar las principales funciones del formato analógico y digital en una producción moderna.
