Authors: Куликов Сергей Сергеевич , Мурзинов Николай Николаевич
Published: May 2022

В данной статье представлено описание принципов построения и функционирования, а также некоторые архитектурные особенности специального программного обеспечения, которое может использоваться для анализа защищённости информационных систем на основе базы данных паттернов (шаблонов) компьютерных атак, характерных для определенных типов нарушителей и их групп. Задача анализа защищенности является важным этапом работ по защите информации как при формировании требований по защите информации, так и при оценке эффективности уже реализованных мер. Ввиду нетривиального, а в какой-то мере и даже творческого характера, решение данной задачи требует высокой квалификации от специалиста, значимых временных и материальных затрат. Вследствие это возникает объективная задача по автоматизации такой деятельности. В работе описана попытка решения указанной задачи на основе разработки программного обеспечения, использующего данные из открытых источников, обобщающих опыт и квалификацию специалистов информационной безопасности из разных стран.

This article provides a description of the principles of construction and operation, as well as some architectural features of special software that can be used to analyze the security of information systems based on a database of patterns (patterns) of computer attacks typical for certain types of violators and their groups. The task of analyzing security is an important stage in information security work both in the formation of information security requirements and in assessing the effectiveness of measures already implemented. Due to the non-trivial, and to some extent even creative nature, the solution of this problem requires high qualifications from a specialist, significant time and material costs. As a result, an objective task arises to automate such activities. This paper describes an attempt to solve this problem on the basis of software development using data from open sources, summarizing the experience and qualifications of information security specialists from different countries.

The work provides a comparative analysis of existing risk assessment and management techniques, as well as a study of their application in the context of smart home networks in the context of their use in risk assessment and management. We propose our own methodology for assessing and managing risks in networks of smart home devices by analyzing the security of such systems, which is based both on the use of the most suitable items from the methods considered, and on the use of a device of fuzzy numbers. The initial classification of threats for smart home systems has been made. A model of calculations for typical systems and a data input system have been developed, allowing the user to independently set parameters for the network model, which ensures the greatest accuracy in conducting risk assessment and management. The proposed model is implemented using the developed software complex.

Published: May 2022

Рассматривается подход к обеспечению информационной безопасности организации с позиций системного и процессного подходов, отраженных в серии государственных стандартов, посвященных менеджменту (управлению) в сфере информационной безопасности, в основе которого находится политика информационной безопасности и, соответственно, политика доступа к информации, реализация которой начинается прежде всего с оценки информационных активов (Asset), информационных ресурсов (Assets), а затем и управления ими (Asset Management) с позиций информационной безопасности. Оценка информационных активов начинается прежде всего с их инвентаризации, для которой необходимы программно-аппаратные средства (инструментальные средства), адекватно и эффективно выполняющие указанную функцию. К таковым инструментам можно, в частности, отнести Total Network Inventory 5 (TNI) - быстрая инвентаризация сетевых компьютеров, оборудования, программного обеспечения и комплексный программный продукт Algorius Net Viewer - для мониторинга и инвентаризации, визуализации, администрирования, компьютерной сети любого уровня.

The approach to ensuring the information security of an organization is considered from the position of system׳ss and process approaches reflected in a series of management information security standards, for the policy of information security and, accordingly, the policy of access to information, the implementation of which begins primarily with the assessment of information assets (Asset), information resources (Assets), and then their management (Asset Management) from the standpoint of information security. Evaluation of information assets begins primarily with their inventory, which requires software and hardware (tools) that adequately and effectively perform this function. These tools include, in particular, Total Network Inventory 5 (TNI) - a quick inventory of network computers, equipment, software and the Algorithius Net Viewer - a comprehensive software product for visualization, administration, monitoring and inventory of a computer network of any level.

The article proposes a method for assessing the quality of an access protection system (APS) to information resources (IR) of a motor vehicle (MV) using a navigation key. The urgency of the tasks of ensuring the information security of IR MV is determined, due to the increase in the degree of use of information technologies in modern vehicles and the presence of vulnerabilities in the standard means of protection. The conducted literature review revealed the shortcomings of existing APS solutions to information resources of motor vehicle. The prospect of an approach to the protection of IR MV, taking into account the mutual location of the subject and the object of access, has been revealed. A model is proposed for assessing confidence in a multi-level security system for access to the IR of a motor vehicle based on a navigation key, which takes into account the characteristics and operating conditions of the MV information system, security requirements and the current configuration of security measures and means. An algorithmic model and a method for assessing the effectiveness of access protection based on a system of signs and protection codes are presented. Calculations of the quality assessment of the access protection system to IR are presented.

Immigrant Victims, Immigrant Accusers
Authors: Kagan Michael
Published: May 2022

The U visa program provides immigration status to noncitizen victims of crime, ensuring unauthorized immigrants do not become easy prey because they are too afraid to seek help from the police. But under the federal government’s structuring of the U visa program, a victim must also become an accuser to receive immigration benefits. Thus, the U visa implicates the rights of third parties: accused defendants. These defendants are often immigrants themselves who may be deported when U visa recipients level their accusations. Recent state court decisions have created complications in the program by permitting defendants to cross-examine accusers about their desire to obtain immigration benefits in exchange for testimony. Defendants in these cases, often male immigrants, have good reason to aggressively crossexamine their accusers in order to combat a system that perceives men of color as violent perpetrators and immigrant women as victims in need of protection. Because of these developments, immigrant victims face new obstacles when seeking law enforcement protection and justice through criminal prosecution. The solution to these emerging problems is to separate the role of victim from the role of accuser as much as possible. This Article suggests several models that might accomplish this goal.
Racial Profiling in the War on Drugs Meets the Immigration Removal Process: The Case of Moncrieffe v. Holder
Authors: Johnson Kevin
Published: May 2022

In Moncrieffe v. Holder, the Supreme Court held that the Board of Immigration Appeals could not remove a long-term lawful permanent resident from the United States based on a single misdemeanor conviction for possession of a small amount of marijuana. The decision clarified the meaning of an “aggravated felony” for purposes of removal, an important question under the U.S. immigration laws. In the removal proceedings, Adrian Moncrieffe, a black immigrant from Jamaica, did not challenge his arrest and drug conviction. Consequently, the Supreme Court did not review the facts surrounding, or the lawfulness of, the criminal prosecution. Nonetheless, the traffic stop resulting in Moncrieffe’s initial arrest, and the subsequent interactions with police, strongly suggest that race influenced the events leading to the criminal conviction. An examination of the facts of his case highlights how the modern criminal justice system works in combination with immigration removal proceedings to disparately impact communities of color in the United States. Over the last few decades, modern immigration enforcement has evolved into a tough, fast-moving criminal-immigration removal system. As Moncrieffe’s case attests, undocumented immigrants are not the only noncitizens subject to possible removal from the United States. The U.S. government frequently threatens to remove long-term lawful permanent residents convicted of relatively minor crimes. Many of these lawful permanent residents have deep ties to the community—ties that include children who are U.S. citizens.
An Administrative Stopgap for Migrants from the Northern Triangle
Authors: Schueler Collin
Published: May 2022

From 2011–2014, the United States Department of Homeland Security recorded an extraordinary increase in the number of unaccompanied children arriving at the southern border from Central America’s “Northern Triangle”—the area made up of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. In fact, in fiscal year 2014, United States Customs and Border Protection apprehended over 50,000 unaccompanied children from the Northern Triangle. That is thirteen times more than just three years earlier. This Article examines the intersecting humanitarian and legal crises facing these children and offers an administrative solution to the problem. The children are fleeing a genuine humanitarian crisis—a region overrun by violent gangs that regularly target young people for recruitment. Once in the United States, these children face their own legal crisis. Indeed, they must confront numerous procedural and substantive hurdles, trying to avoid removal. As a result, many of the children are at serious risk of being deported and subsequently killed by the very gangs that they fled. Given this situation, the Article argues that President Obama’s administration should provide temporary humanitarian protection to these migrants by exercising its congressionally delegated power to designate El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras as new “temporary protected status” countries. Under this proposal, the United States would provide a temporary safe haven to nationals of these three countries until the horrific gang violence in the Northern Triangle subsides.
When Is an Agency a Court? A Modified Functional Approach to State Agency Removal Under 28 U.S.C. § 1441
Authors: Jackson Nicholas
Published: May 2022

This Note argues that courts should interpret 28 U.S.C. § 1441, which permits removal from state court to federal court, to allow removal from state administrative agencies when the agency performs “court-like functions.” Circuits that apply a literal interpretation of the statute and forbid removal from state agencies should adopt this “functional” approach. The functional approach, which this Note calls the McCullion-Floeter test, should be modified to comport with legislative intent and public policy considerations: first, state agency adjudications should not be removable when the adjudication requires technical expertise, which federal courts cannot obtain because they adjudicate cases in a variety of subject areas; second, they should not be removable where an agency’s authorizing statute demonstrates a clear legislative intent to prefer plaintiffs. Absent either of these features, however, court-like agency adjudications should be removable.
Astroturf Campaigns: Transparency in Telecom Merger Review
Authors: Peng Victoria
Published: May 2022

Large telecommunications companies looking to merge spend millions of dollars in their lobbying efforts to clear regulatory hurdles and obtain approval for their proposed mergers. Corporations such as AT&T, Comcast, and Time Warner use public participation processes as vehicles to influence regulatory decision-making. In the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) merger review context, the notice- and-comment process and public hearings have become fertile breeding grounds for hidden corporate influence. Corporations spend millions on corporate social responsibility programs and call upon nonprofit organizations that receive their largesse to represent their corporate interests as grassroots interests when the FCC seeks public comment. This “astroturfing” undermines what Congress intended to be a “well-reasoned agency deliberation process” and makes the FCC’s notice-andcomment process less democratically legitimate. This Note argues that the FCC should adopt a financial conflicts of interest disclosure rule for all comments it receives, not just comments that include scientific or technological data. Administrative agencies’ anxiety about ensuring the integrity of science-based preferences also applies to values-based preferences because the FCC considers the effects on the public interest in making policy decisions.
Finality and Judicial Review under the Immigration and Nationality Act: A Jurisprudential Review and Proposal for Reform
Authors: Carlson Jesi , Glen Patrick , Ugumori Kohsei
Published: May 2022

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), aliens may petition for judicial review of an adverse decision of the Board of Immigration Appeals (Board) as long as that decision constitutes a “final order of removal.” Usually it is not difficult to ascertain when an alien should file her petition: the thirty-day statutory filing deadline begins to run when the Board issues a decision that affirms the immigration judge’s removal order in its entirety. In some cases, however, an alien seeks multiple forms of relief from removal in a single proceeding. When that occurs, some forms of relief might be granted, while others are denied or require a remand to the immigration judge for further proceedings. This hybrid “mixed” decision often leaves aliens and attorneys wondering when the removal order becomes final, and thus when they should file a petition for review. When the Board issues its decision? Or at the conclusion of the remanded proceedings? Which order constitutes the “final order of removal” for purposes of judicial review? The implications are profound. If an alien misses the correct deadline, she may lose her ability to challenge the denial of relief from removal. Alternatively, if she files the petition too soon, the court may dismiss it as premature, which consumes time and resources for the alien, the courts, and the government alike. Unfortunately, neither the statute nor the decisions of the courts of appeals provides clear guidance on this question. Nonetheless, the Ninth Circuit has recently issued an important en banc decision on finality for purposes of judicial review that provides a useful starting point from which to clarify this convoluted area of law. This Article is an attempt to bring clarity to the issue of finality for purposes of judicial review. Using the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Abdisalan v. Holder as a frame of reference, the Article addresses how the INA and its implementing regulations contemplate “finality,” while also highlighting the conflicting manner in which the courts of appeals have thus far treated finality. This Article then proceeds to consider the Ninth Circuit’s en banc decision in Abdisalan, noting its importance in establishing a more or less uniform definition of finality within that circuit, while also exploring some concerns about the scope and limitations of that decision. Finally, to address broader inconsistencies amongst courts of appeals, this Article proposes two possibilities for reform: (1) a uniform definition of finality adopted across the courts of appeals; and (2) statutory reform that would define specifically and exhaustively what constitutes a final order of removal for purposes of judicial review.
Where Kafka Reigns: A Call for Metamorphosis in Unlawful Detainer Law
Authors: Campbell John
Published: May 2022

This story reflects a new reality in which nonjudicial foreclosure, combined with draconian unlawful detainer laws, concretizes the injuries associated with wrongful foreclosure, degrades the perceived legitimacy of the courts, and suppresses valid claims of wrongful foreclosure. Indeed, this very scenario happens regularly in a variety of states. This story is a very real tale of how homeowners are harmed by a foreclosure process that has largely escaped scholarly review. Rooted in the belief that sunshine is a powerful disinfectant, this Article aims to shed light on states that hogtie homeowners and makes a normative argument that such a process is inconsistent with the rest of home-centric jurisprudence, notions of legitimacy, the modern trend towards centralization and consolidation of claims, and our basic understanding of tort claims as deterrents.
Reforming (But Not Eliminating) the Parental Discipline Defense
Authors: Blum Hazel
Published: May 2022

This Note argues that although states should retain the parental discipline defense, their legislators should rewrite their statutes to limit the defense to a specific range of disciplinary methods that social science research has shown to have either net-beneficial or net-neutral effects on children. Part II explores religious and cultural attitudes about corporal punishment, including an overview of traditional American attitudes toward corporal punishment. Specifically, it explores how religious teachings, including Evangelical Christianity, Methodism, and Judaism, affect attitudes towards parental discipline. Additionally, Part II will examine the build-up to and aftermath of Sweden’s ban on corporal punishment—the first nation worldwide to codify such a ban. Part III looks at recent social science research into corporal discipline’s effects on children. Sociological studies demonstrate that severe forms of corporal punishment harm children, even though they are permissible under the laws of many states. Part IV analyzes twenty-five state parental discipline statutes, identifying a three-element framework that most of these statutes share in common. This three-element framework will be utilized in Part V to suggest statutory revisions in order to better protect child welfare. Finally, Part V first argues that, because parental corporal punishment is deeply rooted in many segments of American culture, it should be moderated rather than abolished. Using the framework from current statutes, this Part suggests reforms that would enable states to prohibit harmful corporal punishment while preserving a narrowly defined right of parents to use mild forms of corporal punishment under specific conditions.
Implementation framework to facilitate digitalization of construction-phase information management by project owners
Authors: Jahanger Qais K. , Louis Joseph , Trejo David
Published: May 2022

The use of software applications which have been developed for owner management of large public capital-intensive projects lags that of similar applications made for contractors, resulting in negative implications for the productivity of the construction industry. In response, this paper provides a framework to facilitate the implementation of such digital construction-phase information management (DCIM) systems by project owners. This framework is developed by relating industry assessment of the potential positive impacts with factors that influence DCIM implementation in owner organizations (agencies). Specifically, the identified potential positive impacts were grouped into five improvement aspects and each group was related with a set of potential influencing factors. These were then related to the stakeholder entities that could control the relevant potential influencing factors. Two sets of primary data that were collected through a survey to industry experts were used in this research. The findings showed that 16 potential influencing factors significantly correlated to one or more improvement aspects. The findings further showed that five potential influencing factors are critical for maximizing one or more of the improvement aspects and thus overall system performance. This study shows that plans of technology implementation, selection of software, continuous support (technical capabilities and human efforts), and implementation monitoring and evaluation represent the four main steps for DCIM systems implementation. The presented framework can serve as a practical guide for project owners, especially public agencies, for the successful implementation of DCIM systems and evaluation of the systems’ performance.
Exploring the role of open book high-stakes examinations in 2021 and beyond
Authors: Cummings Beth-Ann
Published: May 2022

Performance on medical licensing examinations has been previously shown to be predictive of performance in practice. However, licensing examinations are closed-book and real-world medical practice increasingly requires doctors and patients to consult resources to make evidence-informed decisions. To best assess the ability of physicians and physicians-in-practice to avail themselves of point-of-care clinical resources and tools, open-book components may have an emerging role in high-stakes examinations.

Depression is a significant comorbid and a risk factor for mortality in the general population. There are many things that can affect someone’s mental health thus rendering the said individual into contracting depression. One of these many things observed is the loss of one’s eyes. It is hypothesized that self-esteem comes from how one perceive himself or herself and losing a dominant organ whose function is to be a media of interpersonal communication would mess someone’s self image. This shattered image paved way to depression. Identifying certain risk factors and signs could help physician to better manage patients with loss of eyes especially those who are utilizing eye prosthesis.

Eyes are not only a functioning organ for vision but also an integral part of one’s self esteem if it functions normally. A loss of this function with or without disfigurement will give a significant impact on someone’s mental well being and if not identified and managed quickly it will deranged into mental illness. While eye prosthetics help, it is not without flaws. One of the most prominent mental disease related to these cases are anxiety. This journal serves as a review for the updated evidence for this particular topic especially the risks involved in developing said mental illness so modulation of intervention could be given to patients with eye prosthetics.
Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacokinetic of Azithromycin Eyedrops in Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Treatment
Authors: Riza Gustam Syena Damara
Published: May 2022

Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of ocular surface disease throughout the world, which has a prevalence that varied widely from 3.5 to 70% according to age, sex, and ethnicity. Azithromycin (AZM) is the first azalidic antibiotic, a class of macrolide antibiotics, which has derived from erythromycin. It is widely used in clinical practice, not only for respiratory diseases and sexually transmitted infections but also for ocular diseases. azithromycin suppressed zymosan-induced mRNA expression and protein production of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor α and IL-1β), chemokines (IL-6 and RANTES), and MMPs (MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-9) by human corneal epithelial cells and suggested the potential for using azithromycin to treat ocular surface It controls the initiation and resolution of inflammatory responses through the regulation of chemotaxis, activation, and survival of lymphocytes. The anti-inflammatory role of TGF-β1 has been recognized in different cell types by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor α, IL-1, and interferon γ.The combination of a topical AZM solution 1.0% with corticosteroid (DEX 0.1%) was found superior in the comprehensive treatment of MGD after 2 weeks. AZM is a one of the safest antibiotics, well tolerated, and has special pharmacokinetic properties. Moreover, it has a broad antimicrobial spectrum. AZM is efficacious for the treatment of a  lot of ocular diseases and may be included as monotherapy or in combination therapy in new treatment protocols for more ocular infections.

Authors: Maududy Al , Halbana  , Mulawan Umar  , Bahar Erial
Published: May 2022

Background: Cancers with esterogen receptor negative (ER-) have a worse prognostic than estrogen receptor positive (ER +). Research by Cooper at al and Huiyan Ma et al have found strong association between history of hormonal contraceptive use and breast cancer with receptor negative estrogen (ER -). However, another study from Cotterchio et al found no difference.

Methods: This study investigated breast cancer patients who went to dr. Moh Hoesin Palembang. This study involved 200 respondents with data obtained using patient immunohistochemical data and interviews using a questionnaire. This study uses a cross sectional analysis method. Data were obtained from the history of use of hormonal contraception, the type of hormonal contraception, and the status of hormonal receptors (Esterogen Receptors (ER) and Progesterone receptors (PR). 2x2 tables were used to obtain the Prevalence Ratio (PRR) and chi quare to obtain p values.

Results: The results of the Chi square analysis showed that there was no significant relationship between the history of hormonal contraception and negative receptor expression with the prevalence ratio of hormonal contraceptives and ER (-) 1.48 times and PR (-) 1.43 times. There was no significant relationship between type of contraception and negative ER PR. The highest relative risk is in implant contraception with 1.54 times for ER (-) and 1.8 times for PR (-)

Conclusion: There was no relationship between the history of hormonal contraception and negative hormonal receptors

Authors: Bram Permadi Tant  , Arief Abda
Published: May 2022

Background: Maxillofacial trauma is a wound or injury that affects the face and jaw.1 Trauma to the hard tissues of the face can cause maxillofacial fractures, which is damage or breaking of the continuity of the facial bones. Traffic accidents remain the main cause of maxillofacial injury, followed by violence, sports, work-related injuries, and falls 9,10,11,12 The high number of traffic accidents and violence in Palembang city can increase the risk of maxillofacial fracture. The absence of data regarding the characteristics of patients with maxillofacial fractures at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang became the reason for this research.

Methods: This research is a descriptive observational study with a cross sectional design using secondary data through patient medical records for the period January 2019- December 2019.

Results: There were 89 patients with maxillofacial fractures with complete medical record data. There were more men (83.14%) than women (16.85%). The youngest age of the patient was 7 years, while the oldest age was 70 years, with the mean age of the patient was 29 years. Traffic accidents were the most common cause (79.7%) followed by falls (11.2 %), violence (4.4 %), sports accidents (1.1 %), and other causes (3.3%). 28 fracture locations were recorded on the upper face, 55 with fracture locations at the midface, 26 with fracture locations on the lower face. The zygomaticomaxillaris complex fracture was the most common fractured bone (35.9%). Regarding management, most were managed with ORIF (66.2%) followed by elevated craniotomy (16.85%), conservative (12.35%), soft tissue debridement repair (2.2%) and closed reduction and nasal repositioning (2.2%).

Conclusion: Maxillofacial fracture are found commonly in men. Most patient age ranges. is the age of 21-30 years. The most common cause is traffic accidents. The most frequently affected fracture site is the midface, where the most commonly affected bone is the zygomaticomaxillaris complex. The treatment option most often applied is ORIF.

Published: May 2022

Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a chronic occlusive arterial disease of the extremities caused by atherosclerosis.1 It is estimated that 20-30% of the population worldwide suffered PAD.2 PAD is associated with a 1-year mortality and limb loss rate of 20%.7 Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a late stage clinical presentation of PAD. Imaging of the entire artery is possible using CT angiography. However, CT angiography has its drawbacks because the contrast used can be nephrotoxic, the risk of allergies, expensive, and not all health services have it. Ultrasonographic’s (USG) sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were 96.55%, 61.53%, and 78.84% for detecting lower limb distal artery lesions.11 Ultrasonographic does not require the use of contrast, radiation, low cost and almost all health services have them.12 However, the Ultrasonographic examination has its limitations depending on the operator's capabilities. It is therefore necessary to conduct research that have never been previously studied in South Sumatra.

Methods: This study is a diagnostic test study that examines the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound in detecting LEAD artery lesions. The samples were 29 patients.

Results: At the femoropopliteal level, the results obtained were 91% sensitivity and 86% specificity. At the infrapopliteal level, the results obtained were 95% sensitivity and 87% specificity.

Conclusion: Ultrasonographic has high sensitivity and specificity in detecting LEAD’s lesions

This article discusses the role of Islamic Integrated schools in enhancing access to schooling and quality education in Garissa. The article is sub-divided into three parts. Part one, presents the role of Islamic Integrated Schools in enhancing access to formal education, whereby, a brief analysis is made on how the schools have improved access to education in Garissa County. It also discusses the role of Islamic Integrated Schools in improving the performance in the national examination. This part examines the mean scores attained by the selected Islamic integrated schools showing their position in the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) visa- a-vie the public schools between 2008 and 2014. The impacts of the schools’ performance on the overall KCPE performance of Garissa are also analysed. Finally, the article discusses the role of the schools in changing Garissa community’s perception toward formal education. This perception is observed through parents’ contribution toward their children education in Islamic Integrated Schools.

Einleitung Die Lärmbelastung im urbanen Gebiet ist an Mobilitätsflächen, wie Bahnlinien, Straßenschluchten oder Parkflächen, von aktueller Bedeutung. Hier wird der Schall, ausgehend von Straßen- und Schienenverkehr, an häufig schallhart ausgeführten Fassadenelementen reflektiert. Deshalb bieten schallabsorbierend ausgekleidete Fassaden sowie aktiv geregelte Fassadensysteme das Potenzial, die Schallimmission der Umgebung bzw. in den Gebäuden zu reduzieren. Die Herausforderungen dabei sind jedoch vielseitig: So sind schallabsorbierende Fassadenelemente vor Witterungseinflüssen ausreichend resistent auszuführen und weitere bauphysikalische Anforderungen, wie Wärmedämmung und Brandschutz, zu berücksichtigen. Außerdem ist die Abschätzung der (flächenanteilig) notwendigen schallabsorbierenden Fassadenelemente für eine bestimmte Situation und deren Randbedingungen ohne ausreichende Expertise kaum möglich. Zusätzlich führen Fassadenöffnungen, wie sie temporär bei der natürlichen Lüftung durch Fenster entstehen, zu einer erhöhten Lärmbelastung innerhalb der Gebäude. Die hier vorgestellten Verfahren und Technologien können einen Beitrag leisten, nicht nur Straßenzüge zu beruhigen, sondern auch Bereiche für die Naherholung zu gestalten.

 

Abstract Noise pollution in urban mobility areas, such as railway lines, street canyons or parking areas, is an everyday topic. Mostly sound-reflecting surfaces lead to multiple reflections, especially at hard covered facades. Therefore, sound-absorbing and actively controlled facade systems offer the potential to reduce the sound immission in buildings and their environment. However, there is a variety of challenges: Sound-absorbing facade elements must be designed to be sufficiently resistant to surrounding effects like weather. Also, other building physics requirements like thermal insulation and fire protection must be taken into account. Furthermore, the estimation of the amount of sound-absorbing facade elements (proportional to the facade area) is required for each specific situation which is hardly possible without sufficient expertise. In addition, facade openings, such as those that occur temporarily during natural ventilation through windows, lead to an increased noise pollution within a building. The procedures and technologies presented here can contribute not only to calming streets but also to designing areas for local recreation.
Análisis de la virtualidad en el sector asegurador español

La búsqueda de estructuras organizativas empresariales más competitivas y la flexibilización en las relaciones de sus procesos ha cristalizado en la configuración de modelos variables, también llamados “organizaciones virtuales” (Davidow y Malone, 1992). Estas entidades se caracterizan por la segregación de actividades y procesos fuera del modo esencial de la empresa, pero cuya coordinación se lleva a cabo mediante formulas diversas de cooperación empresarial apoyándose en las nuevas tecnologías de la información. El trabajo que presentamos representa un intento de diagnosticar el grado de “virtualidad” de las empresas aplicándolo al sector asegurador español. Para ello proponemos un “modelo de medición” que sometemos al resultado de un análisis empírico realizado.

Análisis de la inestabilidad de las alianzas estratégicas en la industria de las telecomunicaciones por cable. Una perspectiva de recursos y capacidades
Authors: García Mestanza Josefa , Ventura Fernández Rafael
Published: May 2022

La internacionalización de los operadores de telecomunicaciones, la desregulación del sector y el desarrollo de la tecnología digital y de los sistemas de comunicación de banda ancha han propiciado un elevado número de fusiones, adquisiciones y alianzas. No obstante, empíricamente se ha contrastado que estas fórmulas de cooperación,de forma genérica, presentan altos niveles de inestabilidad y un nivel de éxito inferior al de las organizaciones formales. Por ello, dado que las nuevas empresas de telecomunicaciones por cable en España han sido resultado de la formación de alianzas estratégicas, formalizadas en joint ventures, en este artículo, bajo el enfoque de recursos y capacidades, se evalúa el nivel de riesgo de inestabilidad que les afecta. Desde esta perspectiva teórica, la inestabilidad se deriva de los recursos compartidos por las empresas asociadas y el tipo de infraestructura que les afecta. Estas características apuntan hacia un alto potencial de inestabilidad en el sector.
Conocimiento e importancia de los servicios como determinantes de la imagen de una organización. Una especial referencia al sector de los azulejos
Authors: Sánchez García Javier
Published: May 2022

La comprensión del comportamiento de las organizaciones y de los consumidores no es una tarea fácil porque el mercado es altamente competitivo, con un amplio rango de marcas, establecimientos y organizaciones donde elegir (Kim y Han, 2000). En la medida en que la oferta de establecimientos comerciales, marcas y organizaciones en general es tan amplio, los consumidores y las organizaciones toman sus decisiones basándose más en la imagen, que en los atributos físicos (Graeff, 1996). El reto de las empresas y organizaciones ha sido crear una imagen que atraiga a un segmento determinado de la población, porque esta imagen puede en último término ejercer un mayor impacto en las decisiones finales de los consumidores y de las organizaciones (Mazursky y Jacoby, 1986; Osman, 1993).
