La Recherche et l’Innovation en France
Authors: Lesourne Jacques
Published: October 2021

Au terme de sept années de réforme continue du système français de recherche et d’innovation dont les Investissements d’avenir pourraient constituer le point d’orgue, quel est le bilan ? Ce chapitre rappelle les grandes lignes de la réforme entreprise. Objectif par objectif, quelques réalisations emblématiques des avancées mais aussi de la portée et des limites des changements en cours sont présentées. Le système évolue significativement. Nouvelles règles du jeu, nouveaux outils ont des effets structurants. Les acteurs se mobilisent fortement, et les indices de changement sont multiples (recomposition de l’enseignement supérieur, nouvelles procédures de gestion et d’évaluation, etc.). Mais les transitions sont longues et difficiles. Et la mise en œuvre reste un point délicat : affectation de ressources budgétaires correspondant aux orientations définies, décrets, mesures d’accompagnement, ajustements nécessaires… Il faut aussi contourner un certain nombre d’écueils : l’auteur en recense neuf, qui pourraient fragiliser la rénovation du SFRI dans les prochaines années.
La Recherche et l’Innovation en France
Authors: Klein Étienne
Published: October 2021

Le mot progrès est de moins en moins utilisé dans les discours publics. Il s’est comme recroquevillé derrière le concept d’innovation, qui est désormais à l’agenda de toutes les politiques de recherche. Pour ne prendre qu’un exemple, la Commission européenne s’est fixé en 2010 l’objectif de développer une « Union de l’innovation » à l’horizon 2020. Cette stratégie « Europe 2020 » prend la suite de la « stratégie de Lisbonne », promue en 2000, qui visait à faire de l’Union européenne la « première économie de la connaissance ». Le document de référence commence par ces lignes : « La compétitivité, l’emploi et le niveau de vie du continent européen dépendent essentiellement de sa capacité à promouvoir l’innovation, qui est également le meilleur moyen dont nous disposions pour résoudre les principaux problèmes auxquels nous sommes confrontés et qui, chaque jour, se posent de manière plus aiguë, qu’il s’agisse du changement climatique, de la pénurie d’énergie et de la raréfaction des ressources, de la santé ou du vieillissement de la population. » La question que nous voudrions poser est la suivante : cette façon de promouvoir l’innovation rend-elle justice à l’idée de progrès ? Est-elle dans son prolongement ou bien s’en écarte-t-elle ?
Integrability and bifurcation of a three-dimensional circuit differential system
Authors: Ferčec Brigita , Romanovski Valery G. , Tang Yilei , Zhang Ling
Published: November 2021

We study integrability and bifurcations of a three-dimensional circuit differential system. The emerging of periodic solutions under Hopf bifurcation and zero-Hopf bifurcation is investigated using the center manifolds and the averaging theory. The zero-Hopf equilibrium is non-isolated and lies on a line filled in with equilibria. A Lyapunov function is found and the global stability of the origin is proven in the case when it is a simple and locally asymptotically stable equilibrium. We also study the integrability of the model and the foliations of the phase space by invariant surfaces. It is shown that in an invariant foliation at most two limit cycles can bifurcate from a weak focus.
Crop - Weed interactive dynamics in the presence of herbicides: Mathematical modeling and analysis
Authors: Tandon Abhinav
Published: November 2021

In the present study, a nonlinear model is formulated to demonstrate crop - weed interactions, when they both grow together on agricultural land and compete with each other for the same resources like sunlight, water, nutrients etc., under the aegis of herbicides. The developed model is mathematically analyzed through qualitative theory of differential equations to demonstrate rich dynamical characteristics of the system, which are important to be known for maximizing crop yield. The qualitative results reveal that the system not only exhibits stability of more than one equilibrium states, but also undergoes saddle - node, transcritical and Hopf bifurcations, however, depending on parametric combinations. The results of saddle - node and transcritical bifurcations help to plan strategies for maximum crop yield by putting check over the parameters responsible for the depletion of crops due to their interaction with weeds and herbicides. Hopf - bifurcation shows bifurcation of limit cycle through Hopf - bifurcation threshold, which supports that crop - weed interactions are not always of regular type, but they can also be periodic.
On classification of finite commutative chain rings
Authors: Alabiad Sami ,   Department of Mathematics, King Saud University, Riyadh 11451, Saudi Arabia, Alkhamees Yousef
Published: November 2021

Let $ R $ be a finite commutative chain ring with invariants $ p, n, r, k, m. $ It is known that $ R $ is an extension over a Galois ring $ GR(p^n, r) $ by an Eisenstein polynomial of some degree $ k $. If $ p\nmid k, $ the enumeration of such rings is known. However, when $ p\mid k $, relatively little is known about the classification of these rings. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the classification of all finite commutative chain rings with given invariants $ p, n, r, k, m $ up to isomorphism when $ p\mid k. $ Based on the notion of j-diagram initiated by Ayoub, the number of isomorphism classes of finite (complete) chain rings with $ (p-1)\nmid k $ is determined. In addition, we study the case $ (p-1)\mid k, $ and show that the classification is strongly dependent on Eisenstein polynomials not only on $ p, n, r, k, m. $ In this case, we classify finite (incomplete) chain rings under some conditions concerning the Eisenstein polynomials. These results yield immediate corollaries for p-adic fields, coding theory and geometry.
Importance of Power Pole Selection When Retrofitting for Eagle Compensatory Mitigation
Authors: Mojica Elizabeth K. , Eccleston Duncan T. , Harness Richard E.
Published: November 2021

In the United States, the bald eagle Haliaeetus leucocephalus and golden eagle Aquila chrysaetos are managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to ensure the species are stable or increasing while allowing for potentially negative effects from anthropogenic sources. Compensatory mitigation, through retrofitting high-risk power poles to reduce electrocutions, can be used to offset negative effects, enabling the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to achieve their management objectives of species stability and persistence. Regulators, permit holders, electric utilities, and consultants lack an objective and repeatable method for discriminating between high-risk and low-risk power poles. To illustrate the importance of accurately identifying and retrofitting high-risk poles, we compare conservation benefits among three retrofitting project scenarios: 1) high-risk poles only, 2) a circuit of both low- and high-risk poles, and 3) low-risk poles only. We assert that, in the absence of a common definition of high-risk power poles applied uniformly across the landscape, mitigation approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could fall short of its intended value and be unable to meet management objectives. We define high-risk poles in the context of compensatory mitigation as poles in high-quality bald or golden eagle habitat with a relative risk index ≥ 0.40 based on number of phases, number of jumper wires, and presence of pole grounding. We estimate that the conservation benefit of retrofitting a high-risk pole is at least 5.25 times greater than the benefit of retrofitting a low-risk pole. In the long-term, if compensatory mitigation intended to achieve management objectives falls short of its assumed conservation value, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could be forced to limit future permit authorizations until bald or golden eagles can recover from incorrectly calculated conservation benefits. To avoid that negative outcome, we recommend that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service set consistent and transparent standards for identifying poles to count as compensatory mitigation credit using our proposed definition of a high-risk power pole.
A STUDY ON RBC MORPHOLOGY AMONG SUBJECTS WITH VARIOUS GRADES OF DIABETIC FOOT ULCERS
Authors: Vinupritha P. , Kathirvelu D. , Hariharan M.
Published: October 2021

Diabetes causes higher levels of blood glucose and often leads to complications like foot ulcers. Hemoglobin present within the red blood cells (RBCs) combines with blood glucose to form glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and its higher levels lead to serious life-threatening conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the shape and texture features of RBCs among various grades of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). The study population ([Formula: see text], age: [Formula: see text] years) was grouped based on Wagner classification. Blood samples (5[Formula: see text]mL) were collected to determine the blood glucose and lipid profiles. A gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) was applied to obtain the textural information from the microscopic blood smear images. The Pearson test exhibited a negative correlation for HDL ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) against HbA1c. A statistically significant correlation ([Formula: see text]) was observed for area, perimeter, equiv-diameter, convex area, major AL and minor AL against HbA1c. The HDL and RBC morphological features (area, perimeter, equiv-diameter, convex area, major AL and minor AL) exhibited statistically significant differences ([Formula: see text]) between the control and grade-2 groups. The texture features namely contrast ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) and homogeneity ([Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]) exhibited statistically significant differences between the grade-2 and grade-0 subjects, depicting larger texture variations among the DFU subjects. The results affirmed that the features extracted from RBCs differ among various grades of DFUs.
Mechanism of Cavitation Wear of a Low-Friction Composite Coating CrN+WC/C Deposed on Ferritic-Pearlitic P265GH and Austenitic X2CrNi18-9 (304L) Steels
Authors: Linek Tomasz , Tański Tomasz , Borek Wojciech , Nowak Adam
Published: November 2021

In order to meet the expectations of the global industry in areas such as: energy, heating, aviation, automotive, railway, chemical, petrochemical, oil, gas, river and marine sectors, where material wear processes may occur due to the flow of water gas and steam or their mixtures with various degree of saturation at different pressures, the authors of this article have conducted research on the resistance to cavitation wear of a low-friction composite anti-wear PVD coating in the form of chromium nitride and tungsten carbide (CrN+WC/C) deposited by a physical method on the surface of structural elements in the form of cavitation generators operating in extreme conditions of cavitation wear. Structural elements were examined made of steel with the ferritic-perlitic structure of the P265GH grade and with the austenitic chromium-nickel structure of the X2CrNi18-9 (304L) grade with a protective composite low-friction coating applied onto their surfaces by the Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) technique, intended for operation in the cavitation wear environment. In order to obtain the results, the investigations of mass loss and roughness profile changes were conducted and the analysis of structural-metallographic morphology changes on the surfaces of structural elements was performed using a scanning electron microscope at voltages accelerating from 5 to 20kV using secondary electrons detection. The results of cavitation wear on the surface of structural elements were obtained using a digital microscope operating in 4K technology with a progressive scanning system.

Algumas considerações sobre a Proteção Diplomática das Sociedades e dos seus Acionistas
Authors: Pimentel de Farias Eduardo
Published: October 2021

Utilizando o método dedutivo hipotético, utilizámos os casos Barcelona Traction, Elettronica Sicula e Diallo para esclarecer o debate sobre o problema da protecção diplomática das empresas e dos seus accionistas. As empresas devem ser vistas como um ser com uma personalidade moral distinta. Se as empresas e o accionista sofreram um prejuízo, isto não implica que os dois tenham o direito de exigir reparação. A questão da protecção diplomática das empresas e dos seus accionistas tem sido um tema constante na jurisprudência internacional, na prática dos Estados, nas convenções internacionais, na doutrina e no decurso dos trabalhos da Comissão de Direito Internacional sobre protecção diplomática. A relevância e pertinência do tema é também reconhecida no facto de a protecção diplomática se aplicar a todas as outras entidades jurídicas constituídas pelo Estado. Partilhamos a perspectiva de que a protecção diplomática para empresas e accionistas não deve ser considerada obsoleta. Isto deve ser visto como o ultima ratio sob o qual os Estados podem invocar a responsabilidade internacional de outro Estado pelos danos causados a uma Corporação ou accionistas que tenham a sua nacionalidade.

Authors: Meneses Cerón Luis Ángel , Carabali Mosquera Jaime Andrés , Pérez Pacheco Camilo Andrés
Published: October 2021

La literatura financiera y la evidencia empírica en los mercados globales señalan que aquellas compañías que gestionan adecuadamente sus grupos de interés fortalecen y divulgan sus políticas de gobierno corporativo, alcanzan mayor efectividad en su funcionamiento institucional. En el contexto de un mercado emergente, este artículo estudia la relación de la calidad de las prácticas de gobierno corporativo con la valoración, apalancamiento y desempeño financiero de empresas colombianas durante el periodo 2008-2018. A partir de la teoría de la dependencia de recursos y de agencia se establecen predicciones sobre las relaciones entre las variables de interés. Se examinaron empresas que cotizan en la Bolsa de Valores de Colombia y se empleó un índice de Bloomberg para medir la calidad de las prácticas de gobierno corporativo. Se utilizaron modelos de regresión en un panel de datos no balanceado incluyendo efectos fijos de tiempo y empresa. Los resultados indican que existe una relación positiva entre el índice de gobierno corporativo y las medidas de valoración y desempeño financiero de las empresas, y negativa frente a la medida de apalancamiento total. Estos resultados revelan que las buenas prácticas de gobierno corporativo conllevan un mejor funcionamiento al interior de las empresas, lo que se refleja en una mejor performance en el mercado a través del tiempo.

Published: November 2021

The objective of this study was to characterize the socio-economic profile of fish farming in the municipality of Bujaru (PA), through information of a social nature for producers and zootechnics of the production of the activity. Through non-probabilistic snowball sampling, questionnaires were applied to 30 fish farmers, performing image records during visits. The results were entered into the specific database, and submitted to descriptive statistical analysis (mean and standard deviation) in the BioEstat 5.3 program. Fish farming in Bujaru is carried out by male fish farmers (100%), most of whom are married (75%), with low education, exercising the activity for 5.10 ± 3.68 years. The production in the municipality is directed to species such as tambacu, pacu, tambaqui, pirapitinga, pirarucu and Nile tilapia, being carried out extensively, mostly in a family character, in excavated nurseries and igarapé channels, aiming at subsistence, commercialization and leisure. In addition to fish farming, producers develop other creations such as beef cattle, swine and poultry, as well as the planting of cassava, bananas and açaí. Regarding the inputs, the cost of the feed was costly and as for the acquired juveniles, many showed high mortality and heterogeneity in the lots. It also verified whether producers' dissatisfaction with public management in the activity, as well as their individualism, causing an obstacle to the development of the sector. The profile of the fish farming in Bujaru presented several obstacles, showing no potential for producers, due to the lack of technical assistance, lack of organization and incentive on the part of public policies in the activity.
Comparison between Vortex-In-Cell and Vortex Particle Methods on Two-Dimensional Problem
Authors: Canh C X , Zuhal L R , Muhammad H
Published: November 2021

This research is concerned with the two-dimensional vortex method (VM) solvers. We develop and investigate the performance of the Vortex-In-Cell (VIC) and Vortex Particle Method (VPM) which are well known as the VM’s family members. The advantage of these both methods are that we can accelerate velocity computation procedure, an N-body problem in numerical methods, by using Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and Fast Multipole Method (FMM), respectively. In addition, the viscous calculation process in VPM can be accelerated by using a scheme of Nearest Neighbor Particle Searching (NNPS) algorithms. Moreover, the no-through boundary condition treatment issue can be easily handled by using an immersed boundary condition for both methods. The accuracy and numerical cost of both numerical methods will be examined by simulating flow over an Impulsively Started Circular Cylinder and comparisons

Child vulnerability refers to the conditions where children have not the ability to protect them from harassment, maltreatment, and malnutrition which could them weakens. This study has tried to reveal the prevalence and the nature of child vulnerability in Bangladesh, and the root causes of child vulnerability have also been explored and debated, and discussed throughout the article. However, the study is narrative and qualitative in the manner and secondary data have been used to develop and support the arguments for the study. As findings, the study has also found that children are at great risks due to some notable reasons, such as excessive academic pressure, the worst form of child labor in the working place, disability, child trafficking, and natural disasters which led them to be victimized with maltreatment and malnutrition which is more prevalent in the rural and urban slum areas. Moreover, climate change and disasters have been playing an adverse role to increase the prevalence of children's vulnerability in Bangladesh. In conclusion, the study suggests that decision-makers and policymakers need to be more conscious and responsible to revise the existing legal frameworks and their effective implementation for the protection of children against vulnerability.

Authors: Nayer, Ph.D.* Gautam , Perez-Feliciano, Ph.D. Luis , Adams, Ph.D. Michael
Published: October 2021

In the United States, prisoner reentry programs are a necessity to re-integrate back into society and are of two types: Faith and Non-Faith. With increased emphasis placed on reforming the criminal justice system policies due to Black Lives Matter and other non-profits actively working to change the system from the outside, reentry programs are having a resurgence of interest for effective public policy. There are significant barriers for major policies at the state, local, and federal to be alleviated, nevertheless, our research wanted to consider the effectiveness of five faith-based, male-only reentry programs in central Florida. Small focus groups were utilized to better understand the concerns and issues returning inmates faced in the program as well as when returning to society. Reentry participants were found to have high confidence in the success of their participation in their faith-based program’s efforts on their personal and family growth.
A Study on Investor’s Attitude Towards SBI and HDFC Mutual Fund in Coimbatore City
Authors: Senthilkumar Dr. L.
Published: October 2021

A Mutual Fund is a professionally-managed form of collective investments that pools money from many investors and invests it in stocks, bonds, short-term money market instruments, and/or other securities. Mutual Fund is a trust that pools the savings of a number of investors who share a common financial goal. This pool of money is invested in accordance with a stated objective. The joint ownership of the fund is thus “Mutual”, i.e. the fund belongs to all investors. The money thus collected is then invested in capital market instruments such as shares, debentures and other securities. The income earned through these investments and the capital appreciations realized are shared by its unit holders in proportion the number of units owned by them. Thus a Mutual Fund is the most suitable investment for the common man as it offers an opportunity to invest in a diversified, professionally managed basket of securities at a relatively low cost.
Perceived parental attitudes of the father
and the school achievements of adolescents
Authors: Gwiazdowska-Stańczak Sylwia , Płudowska Martyna , Garbowski Marcin
Published: November 2021

Introduction

This article focuses on the relationship between parental attitudes of the father perceived by adolescents and their school achievements. Nowadays, interest in the role of the father in raising a child is growing. The influence of the students’ family environment in shaping their school achievement is very important.

Material and methods

The study group consisted of 687 pupils, including 418 (60.8%) girls and 267 (39.2%) boys. Fathers’ attitudes were examined with the Parental Attitudes Scale version of “My Father”. In order to establish the relationship between the father’s parental attitudes perceived by teenagers and grade point average (GPA), Pearson’s r correlation coefficient values were calculated. In the next step the role of gender as a moderator of these relationships was evaluated.

Results

The results of the conducted research show that the acceptance and autonomy attitudes positively correlate with the average grade from last year, while the requirements and inconsistency attitudes showed negative correlations with school achievements. The results indicated that gender moderated the relationship between perceived acceptance, autonomy, protectiveness and GPA.

Conclusions

It was found that an increase in the level of the father’s perceived acceptance and autonomy leads to a higher average grade than the previous year, although only among girls. The level of protectiveness was found to be a negative predictor of school achievements, although only among boys.
Presence of hemophagocytes in bone marrow- A study in a tertiary care center in South India
Authors: Gowsik Kanimozhi , Nagarajan Priyathersini , Gayathri Sri , Mohan Arthi
Published: October 2021

Introduction and Aim: Haemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytic Syndrome (HLH) is a fatal disease with characteristic proliferation of histiocytes in the organs including bone marrow, liver, spleen, kidney, csf, meninges, lymph nodes and subcutaneous tissue which phagocytes the blood cells. In all unexplained cases of cytopenias, organomegaly and pyrexia of unknown origin the HLH should be thought off. Though there are established criteria to diagnose, early diagnosis can reduce the mortality rate due to HLH. Documenting the haemophagocytes in the biopsy can sometimes be very helpful in arriving at the diagnosis.
 
Materials and Methods: We identified patients who were diagnosed with or suspected to have HLH by bone marrow aspiration or biopsy admitted to Sri Ramachandra Medical College Hospital and Research Institution from January 2010 to June 2017. We retrospectively reviewed patients’ medical records that have haemophagocytes in bone marrow aspirations and collected complete clinical history and laboratory findings. Those history included fever, cytopenias, and organomegaly. Their triglyceride levels, ferritin, ESR or any other abnormal elevated lab values were also noted down. If they had any established diagnosis then that was also noted.
 
Results: This is a descriptive study and the details of the data like clinical history, clinical features, laboratory investigations and abnormal values are represented using tabular column, Pie chart and bar diagrams.
 
Conclusion: From pathological point of view, documenting each case presenting with Haemophagocytes and looking into the factors like age, significant laboratory values along with clinical features can be a valuable tool to come to a provisional diagnosis and might help the clinician to proceed with the treatment for a life-threatening disease without much delay.

A mixed-methods research design was followed throughout this study. The primary focus of this study was to determine customer satisfaction through mixed (qualitative and quantitative) methods. Questionnaires for gathering quantitative primary data as well as collecting qualitative data by means of FGDs and semi-structured interviews. Primary data analysis throughout this study involved the descriptive as well as the inferential during the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent t-test. These tools aided the quantitative analysis that were applied to analyse the null hypotheses. Other statistical tools namely the means, standard deviation, Cronbach’s alpha, ANOVA were performed to identify differences between various demographics characteristics for in-depth interpretations. The views of restaurateurs’ customers and managers were explored through 235 customers of twelve (12) restaurants Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality where participants successfully completed questionnaires and participated in FGDs and interviews. The study revealed high prevalence of female in restaurants industries. Majority of participants obtained tertiary degree as educational qualifications. Statistical tools of ANOVA and t-test were employed to test three null hypotheses. Inferential results revealed that participants in restaurants I were less satisfied as compared to others in restaurants E. Based on the statistical findings the initial hypothesis was rejected while the second indicated that monthly income has no effect on customer satisfaction. The independent t-test was employed to test the third hypothesis which indicated no significant relationship between the female and male participants.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) remains a common neurodegenerative movement disorder with significant morbidity, which is expected to increase worldwide in the coming decades. Since its initial description, much has been elucidated about its etiology, pathogenesis, and the role of genetic and environmental risk factors. Effective treatments, including surgical therapies, have been discovered. Despite these strides, many questions remain unanswered; PD remains an active research area with ongoing efforts to discover newer treatment modalities and identify neuroprotective strategies. As with many neurological conditions, there is an unequal distribution of health resources, resulting in some management challenges in low resource settings, especially sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this communication, we provide an overview of PD etiopathogenesis, including genetics and management strategies, including some recent advances with respect to treatment options and disease modification approaches. Finally, we discuss some challenges of PD management in low-resource settings and highlight efforts to turn the tide.
¿Cómo de lleno está el vaso?

Este artículo revisa los treinta años de experiencia de los profesionales de los documentos respondiendo al desafío de la transformación digital de los procesos de trabajo, con especial referencia a Australia. Mantiene que el desafío ha demostrado ser un problema perverso, que ha impedido una fácil resolución. Aunque se han identificado algunas estrategias útiles y se han logrado algunos avances, la situación general es que la situación de la gestión de documentos digitales continúa deteriorándose. Se apuntan varias razones para esta aparente falta de progreso, al igual que las tendencias y problemas emergentes, como el ‘big data’. El autor sostiene que no existen soluciones rápidas o “soluciones mágicas” y que deberíamos reducir nuestras expectativas de éxito. Sin embargo, mantiene que ahora existe una gama de buenos estándares, herramientas y modelos que se pueden implementar para tratar de lograr resultados de gestión de documentos ‘suficientemente buenos’, pero que nuestra profesión debe ser resiliente, flexible, realista y decidida a enfrentarse a las inevitables frustraciones y contratiempos.

This paper reviews 30 years of experience of records professionals responding to the challenge of digital transformation of work processes, with particular reference to Australia. It argues that the challenge has proved to be a wicked problem, which has defied easy resolution. Although some useful strategies have been identified and some progress has been made, the overall situation is that the state of digital recordkeeping is continuing to deteriorate. Various reasons for this apparent lack of progress are discussed, as are emerging trends and issues, such as ‘big data’. The author argues that there are no quick fixes or ‘silver bullet’ solutions and that we should lower our expectations of success. He argues, nevertheless, that there now exists a range of good standards, tools and models that can be deployed to try to achieve ‘good enough’ recordkeeping outcomes, but that our profession has to be resilient, flexible, realistic and determined in the face of inevitable frustrations and setbacks.

¿De verdad estamos capacitados para archivar la “república de los datos” en un entorno digital?
Authors: Martínez García Luis
Published: October 2021

Ante unas administraciones públicas que se centran en los datos, el autor se cuestiona en este texto si la profesión está capacitada –o si, al menos, así lo entiende nuestra organización–, para hacernos cargo de los datos de los sistemas de información pública; si realmente poseemos una formación suficientemente cualificada y las herramientas específicas necesarias; y si tenemos el posicionamiento adecuado en las estructuras administrativas para gestionarlos y aplicarlos de forma transversal.

Facing of the public administrations that focus on data, the author queries in this text if the profession is qualified ‘or if, at least our organization understands it that way’ to take over the data of the public information systems, if we really have a sufficiently qualified training and the necessary specific tools and if we have the appropriate positioning in the administrative structures to manage and apply them in a transversal way.

BIM, una revolución para la gestión documental de las obras públicas
Authors: Medrano Corrales Isabel , Olivares Phélix Pablo
Published: October 2021

La metodología BIM (Building Information Modeling) o modelado de información de la construcción consiste en el trabajo colaborativo de los agentes implicados en la creación y gestión de un proyecto de construcción de un edificio o una infraestructura, basado en la centralización de la información en un modelo digital. Esta transformación digital está generando un nuevo escenario para la gestión documental de las obras públicas, que afecta tanto al sector privado como público: la producción de documentos por los consultores, la captura en los sistemas de información de la administración, la conservación en los Archivos Únicos Electrónicos, así como el acceso y la difusión. En este contexto resulta imprescindible la armonización entre la digitalización de las administraciones públicas y del resto de agentes del sector de la construcción.

BIM methodology (Building Information Modelling) is a collaborative project between the agents involved in the creation and management of a building or infrastructure construction project, which is based on centralising the information by using a digital model. This digital transformation is generating a new scenery in the area of the documentation management of public works which affects both private and public sectors: production of documents by consultants, the entry in management and information systems, the conservation in the so-called Unique Electronic Archives as well as access and dissemination. In this context it is essential to coordinate public administration digitalization with the rest of the agents involved in the building sector.
