Published: March 2020

Objectives: The aim of study is to evaluate the efficacy, tolerability and adverse effects of a standard triple therapy including Rabeprazole, Clarithromycin and Amoxicilline at Sai gon Hoan My hospital in order to consider treatment H.pylori for patients who have not yet eradicated before or need to be undertaked by alternative regimens. Methods: By descriptive cross-sectional study, the authors have examined 116 patients sufferring from peptic ulcer received 10-day therapy including Rabe (20mg b.d) plus Clari(500mg b.d) plus Amoxi(1g b.d). Eradication is confirmed with endoscopy after 4 weeks from completing of treatment. Results and Discussion: 100% of patients were initially included and noboby was dropped out of the follow-up satges. The mean age was 49 in which 62% was male, 73(62,9%) presented duodenal ulcer, 28(24,1%) gastric ulcer and 15(13%) simultaneous gastric and duodenal ulcers. All patients took medications correctly. Per-protocol and intention to treat eradication rates were both 75%(95% CI=73,4-78,3). Additionally, 62(53,4%) patients had at least one risky factor for peptic ulcer disease, smoking being the most common one 44(37,9%).The adverse effects were reported overall in 67% of the patients, mainly including changed taste, very bitter, tired 49%, trouble sleeping 12% and diarrhea 5%. Conclusion: this ten-day standard triple therapy used in this study is ineffective with high adverse effects.The first line eradication with new regimens should be alternative.

Authors: Tran Thi Quynh Huong , Nguyen Thi Le , Vu Dinh Hung
Published: March 2020

Background: Osteoporosis is a serious and costly public health problem. This is a disease of bone system characterized by low bone mass density, damaged and changed bone tissue structure, gradual decrease of bone tolerance and increased bone fracture risk. Osteoporosis usually occurs in elderly people, especially women during the premenopausal and postmenopausal. But osteoporosis is a preventable disease because of the risky factors of diseases caused by lifestyle and diet, these factors can be controlled by each individuals. Aims: The aims of this research are (1) to estimate the osteoporosis rate in 50-year-old women to recommend educational measures and to help them detect early osteoporosis; (2) to find out currently the relations among osteoporosis and other risky factors, (3) to evaluate their knowledge in osteoporosis prevention. It is one of important steps in propaganda prevention. Methods: Cross sectional study in 1096 over 50-year-old women was measured bone density by Quantitative Computed tomography the lumbar spine in Thong Nhat hospital - Dong Nai province. Osteoporosis is defined according to WHO standards (1994). Results: Overall rate of osteoporosis in the study is 61.4%, the rate of bone loss increases with age. Some factors: old age, menopause, underweight, overweight or obesity; less physical exercise; the women gave births more than 3 times ; drinking coffee > 3 times a day; other chronic digestive diseases, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, long time corticoid therapy. They are the risky factors relating to osteoporosis. The osteoporosis knowledge in over 50-year-old women in the research is very low (7.9%).
Key words: osteoporosis, bone mineral density, Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT), risky factor.
VALVULAR HYEART INVOLVEMENT (LIBMAN-SACKS ENDOCARDITIS) IN THE ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME
Authors: Vo Tam , Nguyen Van Tuan
Published: March 2020

The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is defined by the presence of anti-phospholipid antibodies (aPLs) and venous or arterial thrombosis, recurrent pregnancy loss, or thrombocytopenia. The syndrome can be either primary or secondary to an underlying condition, most commonly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Echocardiographic studies have disclosed heart valve abnormalities in about a third of patients with primary APS. SLE patients with aPLs have a higher prevalence of valvular involvement than those without these antibodies. Valvular lesions associated with aPLs occur as valve masses (nonbacterial vegetations) or thickening. These two morphological alterations can be combined and are thought to reflect the same pathological process. Both can be associated with valve dysfunction, although such association is much more common with the latter alteration. The predominant functional abnormality is regurgitation; stenosis is rare. The mitral valve is mainly affected, followed by the aortic valve. Valvular involvement usually does not cause clinical valvular heart disease. The presence of aPLs seems to further increase the risk for thromboembolic complications, mainly cerebrovascular, posed by valve lesions. Superadded bacterial endocarditis is rare but may be difficult to distinguish from pseudoinfective endocarditis. The current therapeutic guidelines are those for APS in general. Secondary antithrombotic prevention with long-term, high-intensity oral anticoagulation is advised. The efficacy of aspirin, either alone or in combination, is yet to be assessed. Corticosteroids are not beneficial and may even facilitate valve damage. Immunosuppressive agents should only be used for the treatment of an underlying condition. Current data suggest a role for aPLs in the pathogenesis of valvular lesions. aPLs may promote the formation of valve thrombi. These antibodies may also act by another mechanism, as indicated by the finding of subendothelial deposits of immunoglobulins, including anti-cardiolipin antibodies, and of colocalized complement components in deformed valves from patients with APS.

1. Knowledge of students on hospital infections:
- Knowledge about hospital infections: knowledge on hospital infections of both groups of students are very low, the average account is only 68.9%, there is a difference between two student groups (66.5% in Y6 and 71.3% in Y44),
- Knowledge about the causes and factors causing hospital infections of the students were 87.7%, the percentage of correct answer is higher in Y6 (90.9%) than in Y44 (84.5%).
- Knowledge about the source of infection and the risk of infections at the hospital's medical staff, there are 88.2% of the students investigated that have been answered correctly, the percentage of correct answer is higher in Y6 (91.2 %) than in Y44 (85.2%).
- Knowledge about some measures to prevent and control hospital infections, only 72.6% of the students investigated have been answered correctly. Knowing the objective to control hospital infections for both groups of students investigated is 86.2%.
- Regarding the role and meaning of hand washing in the prevention of hospital infections, with 83.9% of students answered correctly.
- Knowledge about the correct measures to use reasonable antibiotics in control hospital infections for both groups surveyed is 77.7%, students of Y6 group answered correctly in higher rate 83 , 3% than in 71.9% in Y4/4 group.
2. Propose measures to improve the knowledge of students on hospital infection:
There is a strong need to raise the awareness of the importance of working against hospital infections, increase training to control and prevent hospital infections, remind regularly when students practice at the hospital, examine the hospital principles for student in practice, particularly in hospital infection control and increase the scientific research of students on hospital infection.

Authors:   Viet Nhan Nguyen, Ngoc Thanh Cao, Thi Minh Thi Ha, Thi Thanh Thuy Do
Published: March 2020

Objectives: Design an “in-house” software for calculating the risk of fetus has Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome and open neural tube defects in prenatal screening at the gestational aged 15-22. Methods: Based on the Excel program of Microsoft Office and the articles with the Excel of Microsoft Office and related published articles, we design an “in-house” software based on maternal age, gestational age, history of having children with chromosomal aberrations and adjusted maternal serum markers AFP, hCG and uE3. The results were compared with the results of Prisca software by non-parametric method. Results: In cases having the risk of trisomy 21 with the range from 1/251 to 1/350: the risk tends to be lower than Prisca (83.7%). In cases having the high risks of trisomy 21 in screening but the results of prenatal diagnosis are not trisomy: the risks of “in house” software are lower than the risks of Prisca (73%) with 29% of cases has the risks less than 1/250 . In cases of trisomy 18 with the risks are lower than 1/150: there are no statistical significant differences between the two softwares (P<0.05). In screening open neural tube defects, the cases have the threshold higher than 1.50 MoM AFP: The results in the “in house” software tend to higher than Prisca (94%). The cases have the threshold lower than 1.50 MoM AFP: Where the disability screening of neural tube openings with thresholds lower than 1.5 MoM AFP: there are no statistical significant differences between the two softwares (P<0.05). Conclusion: The “in house” software has all the necessary functions for calculating the risk of Down syndrome, Edwards syndrome and open neural tube at the gestational aged 15-22.

Authors: Nguyen Anh Vu
Published: March 2020

The author summarizes the recent developments in speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE), a relatively new technique that can be used in conjunction with two-dimensional or three-dimensional echocardiography for resolving the multidirectional components of left ventricular (LV) deformation. STE quantify accurately the regional and global function of the left ventricle. STE holds promise to reduce interobserver and intraobserver variability in assessing regional LV function. Following a brief overview of the approach, the authors pool the initial observations from clinical studies on the development, validation, merits, and limitations of STE.

Materials and methods: prospective study including 126 patients with tubal-peritoneal infertility. Results: The rate of false obstructed tube through hysterosalpingoscopy was 7.1%. The rate of intrauterine pregnancy after laparoscopy was 21.4%. This rate was associated with the stage of tubal leisons and accounted for highest rate in the first stage (68.0%). There were no case of pregnancy in the third and fourth stage of tubal leisons as well as in the dense adheison. The rate of intrauterine pregnancy of salpingostomy and tubalplasty were 20.0% and 72.0%, respectively. 3 months post-operation, 79.5% patients have patent tubes through hysterosalpingoscopy. Conclusion: The rate of intrauetrine pregnancy and patent tubes in this study is able to compared with some national and international studies. This rate is associated with the stage of tubal leisons and the degree of tubal adhesion.
Reflections on Being a Successful Academic Researcher
Authors: Pather Shaun , Remenyi Dan
Published: March 2020

Research is central to the life of the career academic. However, the framework in which academic research is conducted is not generally well understood and neither is it often articulated or discussed. The literature tends to rather focus on issues in relation to specific research methodologies and the evaluation thereof. Additionally, previous research argues that it is common for university academics to have little or no formal preparation for their role as teachers. This paper posits that the same applies to that of the academic’s role as a researcher. It cannot be assumed that the mere obtaining of a Doctoral degree, prepares the novice academic for a research career. Early career academics are expected to acquire an understanding of how to survive as a researcher through a process more related to osmosis than to the principles of academic discourse. This paper commences with an overview of the origins of the academic career and the doctoral degree. Thereafter, it introspects the requirements to be a successful academic researcher. Aspects of the academic researcher’s agency in relation to personal values, characteristics, integrity, research uptake skills, as well as the benefits and challenges of a research career are explored. By unpacking the salient elements of what is required to be a successful academic researcher, this paper provides a basis for those who are considering a career in academe to make an assessment if such a pursuit is feasible. In addition, the paper provides a yardstick by which early or even mid‑career academic researchers may judge their progress towards being a successful researcher, thereby identifying areas for improvement.
Never Smile at a Crocodile: A bad Viva Voce by the rule
book
Authors: Remenyi Dan
Published: March 2020

This is a narrative, the objective of which is to open a
conversation about some aspects of how doctoral degrees are
examined. The focus here is on a viva voce which was conducted for a
mature candidate who had been registered for his doctorate for some
10 years and who came close to failing this examination.The
narrative presented is a description of a viva voce examination
which was conducted by the rule book and resulted in what is
described here as an outcome which the degree candidate and his
supervisors regarded as unfortunate. There was no misconduct on the
part of anyone but some mistakes were made by the degree candidate
during the examination in that the candidate did not answer well the
questions put to him and the examiners did not attempt to correct
him or assist him with his nervousness, which was quite apparent. As
a result, the candidate’s examination performance was regarded by
all to be poor. The problem which caused this unfortunate event, it
is argued, lay in the lack of concentration on the part of the
degree candidate and the absence of what John Maynard Keynes once
referred to as the goodwill of the examiners, which was in short
supply (Checkland, 1981). This narrative and the accompanying
reflections reveal how delicate the viva voce process actually is
and why in its current form it may need a thorough review. The paper
concludes with the suggestion that the viva voce needs
reform.
Método Científico: Aspectos epistemológicos y metodológicos para el uso de la Estadística.
Authors: Mendez Ramirez Ignacio
Published: March 2020

En todo trabajo de Investigación, se tiene un marco epistémico. En muchas áreas de investigación “tradicionales” como la Biología, Medicina, Agronomía, etc., este marco es tácito, es decir se asume inconscientemente. Además es muy común que sea un marco totalmente erróneo, a partir de la filosofía del Positivismo o Empirismo Lógico. El uso de este marco hace que la investigación sea muy rígida, pretendiendo ser totalmente objetiva y racional. Los filósofos modernos han rechazado unánimemente este marco epistémico, y han postulado entre otras cosas, que la ciencia no es totalmente objetiva, que hay actos en el proceso de investigación científica, que no pueden ser justificados totalmente de forma racional. En el artículo, se discuten brevemente estos aspectos epistemológicos.

Se introduce también algunas ideas sencillas sobre conceptos de causalidad y de aspectos metodológicos para apoyar la causalidad, en particular la eliminación o minimización de los llamados factores de confusión, mediante cuatro procedimientos: la homogeneización de los elementos de estudio; la aleatorización de variantes de factores causales a los elementos; la formación de bloques o estratos homogéneos dentro de ellos pero heterogéneos entre ellos y mediante la formulación de modelos estadísticos que contemplen las acciones simultáneas de varios factores
Gestión, Implementación y Control de los riesgos relacionados con la tecnología de la información en los Bancos
Authors: Gaibazzi Mariá Florencia
Published: March 2020

La información es un recurso muy importante dentro de los activos de una organización, tiene un valor determinado de acuerdo al grado de criticidad que posea, por consiguiente debe ser debidamente protegida tanto interna como externamente. La seguridad de la información resguarda a la “información” de una amplia gama de amenazas, a fin de garantizar la continuidad del negocio, minimizar el daño al mismo y maximizar el retorno sobre las inversiones y las oportunidades.

La seguridad de la información se logra implementando un conjunto adecuado de controles, que abarcan políticas, prácticas, procedimientos, estructuras organizacionales y funciones del software.

Se deben establecer estos controles para garantizar que se logren los objetivos específicos de seguridad de la organización.

Con el advenimiento de las nuevas Tecnologías Informáticas y de Comunicación (TIC), la operatoria bancaria se hizo aún más riesgosa porque al utilizar medios electrónicos para la captura, procesamiento de los datos y transmisión de la información es necesario contar con medidas adecuadas a los tiempos que corren para asegurar los tres principios básicos de seguridad: confidencialidad, integridad y disponibilidad de la información.

Por todo lo expresado anteriormente y siendo el B.C.R.A. el ente regulador de la actividad financiera y supervisor de las Entidades Financieras (EF), propone ampliar la normativa vigente sobre Seguridad de la Información, actualizarla y detallar con claridad los requisitos mínimos en cuanto a la gestión, implementación y control de los riesgos relacionados con Tecnología Informática, Sistemas de Información y Recursos Asociados con el fin de que las EF implementen las mejores prácticas de control y seguridad, teniendo en cuenta el riesgo de dicha actividad, la criticidad de sus activos y la adopción de la Normativa Internacional vigente.
Memoria organizacional y gestión del conocimiento
Authors: De Souza Pereira Claudio
Published: March 2020

La metáfora memoria organizacional es utilizada de las más diversas formas y con los más variados entendimientos en las teorías organizacionales en general y en la gestión del conocimiento en particular; esta diversidad de abordajes refleja el estadio inicial de los estudios sobre el tema. La presente investigación busca contribuir en este entendimiento, identificando y analizando las dimensiones del uso gerencial de la memoria organizacional a través de un abordaje transdisciplinario y de un doble enfoque totalizador que contempla la memoria organizacional tanto como objeto de estudio como proceso integrante de prácticas organizacionales y de mercado. A partir de la interrelación de los estudios sobre memoria en las ciencias sociales y humanas y de los conceptos y prácticas de memoria organizacional, se formula una propuesta de modelaje para memoria organizacional.
Poder y estandarización de la ética: apuntes sobre el sentido de las prácticas de responsabilidad social empresaria (RSE) en las organizaciones
Authors: Gómez Carlos Enrique , Gómez Leonardo Favio , Meretta Javier Angel , Gallegos María Laura , Cinalli Marcelo Fernando
Published: March 2020

El presente trabajo analiza las prácticas de Responsabilidad Social Empresaria (RSE), haciendo hincapié en dos aspectos centrales que influyen en su implementación y que son habitualmente poco tratados. En primer lugar la ambigüedad de sus significados producto de las características específicas de estas prácticas: las dificultades de estandarizar comportamientos éticos, y los debates y consensos logrados sobre su norma (ISO 26000) entre diferentes grupos internacionales. En segundo término la escasa atención puesta al estudio de las relaciones de poder que se originan entre los actores que componen las denominadas partes interesadas (stakeholders), fundamentalmente en aquellas experiencias orientadas a desarrollar acciones de RSE en la cadena de suministros de las empresas.
Análisis financiero y económico de la sustitución de fuentes convencionales por energía solar térmica para calentamiento de agua de uso sanitario en Salta, Argentina
Authors: Cruz Ileana Gimena , Sauad Juan José , Condorí Miguel Ángel
Published: March 2020

El consumo energético residencial para calentamiento de agua sanitaria es uno de los componentes más importantes de la demanda energética. En este trabajo se presenta un análisis, desde una perspectiva financiera y económica, del proceso de sustitución de energía fósil por solar térmica en el proceso doméstico de calentamiento de agua para consumo sanitario, en la Provincia de Salta. El análisis financiero y económico se realizó en base al costo de inversión y los ahorros en energía. Luego, se obtuvieron mapas de demanda energética y de los impactos financieros y económicos de la sustitución. Se evidencia que en la provincia de Salta, el acceso a la energía es inequitativo y las tarifas fomentan el statu quo. Sumado a esto, los resultados obtenidos comprueban que a nivel de vivienda y radio censal existe factibilidad financiera y económica de la sustitución para viviendas con Gas Licuado de Petróleo (GLP), electricidad y leña. La sustitución no es viable para viviendas y radios con acceso a red de gas natural. Pese a esto, es factible económicamente si se plantea la sustitución global del sistema energético por energía solar.
Una respuesta metodológica para el estudio del rendimiento académico en la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Estadística, Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina
Authors: Boggio Gabriela , Arnesi Nora , Harvey Guillermina , Ruiz Luciana , Angelini Julia
Published: March 2020

Uno de los problemas que enfrenta la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas y Estadística de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario en relación al rendimiento académico de los alumnos es la demora en los tiempos previstos por los planes de estudio para poder elegir carrera. Esta primera meta académica es posible previa aprobación de cuatro asignaturas de un Ciclo Introductorio Común de las tres carreras de Ciencias Económicas. Con el objeto de estudiar qué factores de índole personal y familiar influyen en esta demora se analiza la cohorte de ingresantes del año 2008 a lo largo de cinco años. Dado que el tiempo hasta cumplir la mencionada condición se encuentra medido en años, con pocos valores diferentes, el análisis de datos de duración se puede realizar mediante modelos lineales generalizados previa reestructuración de los datos. La aplicación de esta metodología alternativa fue satisfactoria y entre los resultados hallados se puede mencionar que los estudiantes que presentan mayor demora en el cumplimiento de esta meta son los varones, los egresados de escuela pública, los estudiantes que no trabajan y los que no comenzaron sus estudios universitarios inmediatamente después de finalizada la escolaridad secundaria.
¿Minería sustentable en Argentina? Caso: proyecto Potasio Río Colorado
Authors: Hollman María Ayelén
Published: March 2020

Debido al crecimiento de la demanda asiática y de su producción, Latinoamérica vive un auge por la demanda de commodities lo que ha provocado el aumento de las exportaciones de estos bienes. En el caso argentino, el sector metalífero exhibió un importante desarrollo en los últimos años. Mientras las mineras aprovechan este boom, los gobiernos dependen cada vez más de la inversión extranjera para la extracción de estos recursos, así como de los ingresos producto de su renta. En este marco de neoextractivismo, el proyecto Potasio Río Colorado (PRC), desarrollado por la compañía Vale, representaba el mayor emprendimiento minero del país y el más importante de su tipo de Sudamérica. Presupuestado en USD 6.300.000, sólo se ejecutó un 30% y desde 2013 la obra está paralizada. No obstante, en 2016 Vale retoma el estudio de factibilidad para plantear una reestructuración del diseño original a un tercio de su capacidad y volver el plan atractivo a nuevos socios. Este artículo analiza PRC: orígenes, historia, antecedentes, conflictos de intereses y perspectivas en torno a su potencial reactivación para aportar a una discusión seria e informada sobre el tema. Particularmente, se investiga su sustentabilidad económica, social y medioambiental.

Notas sobre la docencia universitaria. Una reflexión a partir de las representaciones y expectativas docentes
Authors: Cavallo Marcela
Published: March 2020

En sus representaciones más arraigadas, los profesores apelan frecuentemente aestrategias de enseñanza basadas en la exposición con la explicación de temas o la resolución de problemas en las que los estudiantes tienen poca participación activa. Así las cosas, las evaluaciones muestran resultados alejados de los objetivos de aprendizaje planteados, generalmente enfocados en que el alumno comprenda, analice, articule y aplique.Esta problemática, inmersa en una sociedad en la que se propicia el éxito constante,permite vislumbrar cierto malestar docente vivenciado generalmente como fracaso. Parece entonces oportuno comenzar a pensar algunas aristas del problema, principalmente las relacionadas con el acto pedagógico, con el lugar que ocupa la formación docente y la significación dada al oficio de enseñar y finalmente, con las concepciones construidas acerca del alumno universitario.
Conceptualización de la calidad en la educación superior: una década de aportaciones
Authors: Barrenetxea Miren , Olaskoaga Jon , Cardona Antonio , Barandiaran Marta , Mijangos Juan José
Published: March 2020

A pesar de la notoriedad que ha adquirido en las últimas décadas, aún está por demostrarse que el término “calidad”, cuando se aplica al ámbito educativo, sea algo más que un concepto hueco pero atractivo.Lo que falta es una acotación más precisa, una declaración que permita al concepto trascender ese terreno incierto en el que se desenvuelve habitualmente, una descripción clara y comprensible de qué es una educación de calidad. A falta de una mayor precisión, el concepto de calidad corre el riesgo de convertirse en mero instrumento ideológico, y la calidad, declarada como objetivo, puede terminar legitimando -o al menos intentando justificar- cualquier política, cualquier programa, cualquier decisión o acción.Que los conceptos de calidad en la educación superior se conviertan en categorías científicas relevantes para el análisis depende de que la investigación avance en el campo en que las actitudes de académicos, gestores y estudiantes se combinan con el análisis de las políticas educativas, con el las reformas organizacionales en las instituciones de educación superior, con el clima laboral en dichas instituciones o con la satisfacción de los estudiantes con sus estudios y la de los académicos con sus trabajos. Es precisamente éste el campo en el que la red de Estudios sobre Calidad en Universidades de América Latina y España (ECUALE) lleva trabajando durante más de una década.
Análisis intersectorial de las memorias de sostenibilidad publicadas por empresas cotizadas en Argentina
Authors: Rabasedas María Laura , Del Barco María de los Angeles , Jara Sarrúa Luis Alberto
Published: March 2020

Las Memorias de sostenibilidad son informes que amplían el alcance de la contabilidad tradicional, brindando información sobre aspectos económicos, sociales y ambientales para la toma de decisiones de stakeholders. El análisis y la comparación intersectorial de estos informes, permite detectar particularidades y tendencias que contribuyen al perfeccionamiento de la información no financiera. En Argentina, particularmente, se observan estudios referidos a sectores específicos, encontrándose relativamente pocos estudios de comparación intersectorial.
El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar la divulgación sectorial de información de responsabilidad social en Argentina, identificando los sectores de actividad económica que más participan en la presentación de reportes sociales y las tendencias que se desprenden de la información divulgada.
Para lograrlo, se sigue un enfoque de investigación cualitativa, aplicando el método de análisis de contenido para las memorias de sostenibilidad correspondientes a empresas cotizantes en Argentina. Los resultados muestran que los sectores más comprometidos con la presentación de memorias de sostenibilidad son el sector de Energía eléctrica y gas, Alimentos y el sector de Actividades Financieras. A su vez, la información presentada por empresas de un mismo sector, es heterogénea lo que demuestra principalmente la falta de estandarización de la información sobre responsabilidad social.
Efecto del error de medición en índices de capacidad de procesos

Published: March 2020

La importancia del análisis de capacidad de procesos deriva de la

filosofía de adecuación a los requerimientos del cliente presentes en todo proyecto de calidad. Un proceso será satisfactorio siempre que sus productos respondan a los estándares fijados, ya sea porconsideraciones técnicas como por exigencias del mercado. Durante los últimos 30 años se ha desarrollado y estudiado una gran variedad de índices que permiten comparar el comportamiento del proceso con las especificaciones impuestas, aunque casi todos los avances realizados

asumen que no existen errores de medición en los datos recolectados, hecho que difícilmente es real en la práctica. Aún el uso de instrumentos de medición de última tecnología no garantiza la ausencia de imprecisiones. Si esto se ignora y el sistema de medición es inadecuado, los datos no reflejarán la realidad del proceso y las conclusiones del análisis podrían ser equivocadas. En este trabajo se realiza una breve reseña de los antecedentes existentes sobre el estudio de los efectos que los errores de medida pueden causar sobre las propiedades de

los índices de capacidad de procesos y se realiza un aporte original analizando el efecto de errores sistemáticos sobre las propiedades del estimador del índice de capacidad Cpk
Inclusión, prestaciones básicas y (des)igualdad: la distribución de la protección económica en la vejez en cuatro países de América Latina
Authors: Arza Camila
Published: March 2020

En América Latina los sistemas jubilatorios contributivos enfrentan serios obstáculos para ofrecer por sí solos cobertura y beneficios adecuados para todos los adultos mayores. Las prestaciones básicas y no contributivas son instrumentos para ampliar la cobertura y garantizar un beneficio mínimo, más allá de lo que cada uno obtiene por sus contribuciones. Políticas de este tipo, aunque con diseños diferentes, existen en Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil y Chile, los países analizados en este trabajo. Todos ellos alcanzaron altas tasas de cobertura de los adultos mayores gracias a una variedad de políticas que, dependiendo del caso, incluyeron flexibilidades de acceso a los beneficios del sistema jubilatorio contributivo, prestaciones focalizadas no contributivas, beneficios universales, y/o programas especiales. Este trabajo presenta y compara las características de las prestaciones básicas de vejez en estos cuatro países y evalúa cómo funcionan en conjunto con los demás componentes del sistema jubilatorio, enfocándose en la distribución de la cobertura, los niveles y distribución de los beneficios, y la segmentación de los beneficios contributivos y no contributivos que forman parte del sistema de protección económica en la vejez en su conjunto.

Las asociaciones cooperativas agropecuarias son de gran importancia para la agricultura argentina, tanto por sus aportes a la economía, al comercio agropecuario, al empleo y al desarrollo regional. La mayoría de las cooperativas agropecuarias se desarrollaron en la Región Pampeana. Hacia 1970, y con acento en la década de 1990, la estructura social agropecuaria sufre grandes transformaciones que afectan especialmente a pequeños y medianos productores, en su mayoría asociados a cooperativas. De esta manera, en el sector cooperativo se producen diversos cambios cualitativos y cuantitativos. Entre los factores que intervinieron en la evolución de los mismos se tendrá a consideración en el presente trabajo el papel de las políticas públicas y las estrategias que adoptaron las cooperativas en un contexto de globalización que impone una mayor eficiencia productiva. Particularmente, se ha considerado a la Asociación de Cooperativas Argentinas (cooperativa de segundo grado) como caso paradigmático de la pampa santafesina para observar los cambios y estrategias adoptadas.

Not fit for Humans? Social and Economic Change in Slough 1919–1951
Authors: Masom Grant
Published: March 2020

In the 25 years after the First World War, Slough's population quadrupled from 16,397 to 66,471, transforming it from an insignificant market town into the fastest growing industrial town in southern England. Aggressive expansion of the country's first private sector 'trading estate' provided employment that attracted tens of thousands of voluntary migrants from the distressed areas and elsewhere. Growth placed huge demands on local authorities, resulting in largely unplanned and uncoordinated urban development, with accompanying social challenges and a diminished sense of civic identity. Whether this represented an economic miracle or a demographic blight divided opinion: while Betjeman condemned it as unfit for human habitation, The Times commended Slough as 'a smart and prosperous centre of industry'. The positive and negative aspects of its growth influenced planners of the post-war era of nationalisation and other centralised initiatives.
The New Poor Laws in Scotland, England and Wales: Comparative Perspectives
Authors: Jones Peter
Published: March 2020

This article focuses on a seemingly obvious but largely overlooked question in the historiography of British welfare: what are the merits of, and the obstacles to, a serious comparative study of the poor laws in the constituent countries of mainland Britain? It first considers the wider context for such a question in relation to European welfare history, then discusses the broad historiographical trends for each country in relation to two key areas of the welfare debate: how far the intentions of the central Poor Law authorities were reflected in local practice, and the ability of paupers themselves to shape or influence their own experience of relief at the local level. It makes some key observations about the ways in which 'national narratives' of welfare have developed for Scotland, England and Wales in the past, and how these have shaped our view of the relationship between them, and finally suggests avenues for future research.
