Pricing and funding with case mix models
Authors: Harris Julie , Rains Michael , Gill Byron , Arulambalam Ajit , Rouse Paul 
Published: October 2023

The aim of this workshop is to describe and explore current case mix costing systems in NZ and their use in funding. The workshop is designed to range from specifics (a cost system), through the process of compiling national case weights and their role in activity based funding, to a general perspective on these were used inside a District Health Board. The first speaker will describe the essential features of the Waitemata District cost system and how it relates to the National Common Costing Standards. The second speaker will explain the national system for calculating case weights and pricing them together with the determination of some specific price adjusters (e.g. the tertiary adjuster). Our third speaker will discuss what is activity based funding and how case mix fits into this together with some of the advantages of case mix in funding and decision making. Our fourth speaker will provide a historical perspective of how case mix was used in internal funding allocations and evaluation in a tertiary DHB.
All four panellists have extensive experience in the New Zealand health sector and a detailed knowledge of case mix and funding at national and District levels. With the end of the population based funding model and the new health body, Te Whatu Ora, this workshop provides an essential foundation for considering different funding models for the New Zealand health sector. Consequently, it should be of interest to managers and clinicians in the healthcare sector, and especially for financial teams, business analysts and those providing consulting services to the sector. The discussion will be moderated by Prof Paul Rouse.Discussion topics:
1. Costing systems In TWO Districts - Description of Waitemata costing system and NZ common costing system
2. Compilation of case weights in NZ and base Price - The national system for calculating case weights, the price book and setting the base price
3. DRGs, case weights and funding - Activity based funding and the use of case weights for this
4. Use of DRGs and case weights in internal funding allocations and evaluation - Internal Hospital funding allocations and evaluation using DRGs and case weights (Historical Perspective of a DHB’s experience, 2007-2012).

Spreading of yield stress fluids
Authors: Joanny Jean-François 
Published: October 2023

The spreading of complex fluids is essential in many industrial processes for example in the cosmetic industry. We study here the spreading of complex fluids in two different geometries: dip coating experiments where a rod is pulled out of a yield stress fluid and soft blade experiments where a coating film is obtained by squeezing a liquid drop with a soft elastic blade.In the dip coating experiment with a yield-stress fluid, we show that the thickness of the coating film does not follow the classical Landau-Levich theory which is based on the drainng of the film. Rather the thickness of the film is limited by the hydrodynamics of the bulk reservoir. We propose scaling laws for the film thickness and discuss the cross over between thes two possible behaviors. In the soft blade experiment we first study simple non-newtonian fluids an show the importance of the wetting length, which measures the ize of the blade a the tip wetted by the fluid. We then generalize our study to shear-thinning and normal stress fluids.
Teaching Squares
Authors: Palaniswamy Radhakrishnan 
Published: October 2023

The Teaching Squares Program involves the formation of a 3- or 4-member group of educators from different departments or disciplines. The diversity in knowledge and experience helps to promote cross-disciplinary learning and professional growth among teachers. Once the group has been formed, the teachers select a class they will each teach during the observation phase. Other teachers observe each instructor as they lead the students and engage with them. Participants then meet after they make their observations to provide feedback. The teachers meet regularly to provide feedback in a supportive and constructive manner.
The Teaching Squares Program helps to promote continuous professional growth and development. As teachers observe their peers, they learn practical strategies that their peers use to encourage a collaborative and supportive learning environment. A significant benefit of Teaching Squares is that faculty can observe and learn from their colleagues. In this program, teachers observe their colleagues in the teaching process and give feedback using given criteria. Teaching Squares allows teachers to receive feedback on their teaching approach and strategies from their peers. The program encourages the teachers to reflect on their practice and seek practical opportunities for development and growth. This program is a multidisciplinary model for instructor reflection and assessment. Furthermore, Teaching Squares provides a sense of togetherness and collaboration among faculty members.
Usually, teachers devote much of their time to preparing lessons, teaching, and assessing students, leaving them with little time to observe and learn from colleagues. Teaching Squares is a structured program that allows teachers to observe and learn from their colleagues. It is a practical approach that can help improve their performance and effectiveness. This is a peer review process that allows collaboration and reflection among faculty members. Teaching Squares is a structured program that involves approximately 3 to 4 faculty members who observe their colleagues in the teaching process and give feedback using given criteria. The program aims to provide faculty with a platform to observe and learn from each other's teaching approaches in a non-competitive and supportive environment. The participating members follow the teaching process of their colleagues and then offer helpful feedback as they engage in reflective discussions.
Drafting a pro-antitrust and data protection regulatory framework
Authors: Srinivasan Sharmadha , Sinha Vikram , Modi Saurabh 
Published: October 2023

The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023 has significant implications for antitrust issues in digital markets. A consensus has emerged among competition regulators across jurisdictions that in markets underpinned by data-driven business models, antitrust concerns intersect with data protection regulatory issues. With the recent enactment of the law, the landscape in India is now ripe to ensure that the two regulatory tools of data protection and competition work in tandem. The paper provides an overview of why a new approach to antitrust law is required in the realm of data-driven digital platforms, and delves into the evolving antitrust cases in India with respect to digital platforms to lay out the jurisprudence on data-related anti-competitive practices. The main objective of this paper is to map the Digital Personal Data Protection Act in the context of India's jurisprudence to theoretically illustrate how regulation of personal data could impact antitrust enforcement. Finally, the paper outlines how the CCI needs to assess digital antitrust cases and how the personal data legislation will need to evolve to achieve the twin goals of data protection and fair competition.
Texto y contexto en Cadaqués : historia, teoria y práctica de la arquitectura de un pueblo singular
Authors:   , Vivanco Riofrío Enrique 
Published: October 2023

Se pretende conocer su desarrollo arquitectónico a lo largo de su historia y se plantea la relación texto-contexto como básica para el estudio de una población con características muy marcadas; el proyecto arquitectónico, decimos, que puede ser sin representación gráfica en el caso de la arquitectura popular; el contexto, propone y edifica un texto y el lugar deviene luego de la construcción de un nuevo lugar, un contexto diferente al anterior, a pesar de esto se produce una continuidad ofrecida por el trabajo tipológico de la arquitectura popular y bruscamente interrumpida por las "discontinuidades", el aparecimiento de nuevas tipologías.
There are many publications of various types, which mention Cadaqués architecture; those however are in most cases romantic and enthusiastic lectures of his architecture. The matter, the author says, is more complicated, it is produced by a series of interactive relationships between the Cadaqués citizens, the economical and political power, the rules, laws and customs that this power produces, and his architecture is a result of this relationship. In history, the economical development, his macro economy and his system, has periods with maximums and minimums, corresponding with the welfare and crisis moments, opposed them in the time also, in which ones, the architecture that has its own independence and autonomy, lost these qualities or there are not the determinants, the economical ones are the determinants in these moments.These periods called "discontinuities" produce new architectonical types, the collective conscious and unconscious works in the direction of welfare and prosperity, the society in his totality works producing more and better, the economical resources contribute to produce bigger and better architectural objects, those ones, are the new types introduced in Cadaqués, like an example, and those built by sensitive artists could mean critical and avant-garde objects. There are others which have not the same kind of work, their authors do not have the same sensibility, and those ones, inside a continued typological work are easily detectable, the do not understand all the architectonic tradition, and their work can not be considered as well integrated. The architectural education should not forget this matter, the history must be present, and the types can be a way to introduce the students to the historical relationship without forgetting our modern culture, our XXth century belonging, and the future of our civilization, the science and technological progress, without loosing our collective memory, our legacy.
Contribución al desarrollo de sistemas de control de estructuras de edificación mediante cables activos
Authors:   , López Almansa Francisco 
Published: October 2023

Este trabajo propone un sistema para reducir las oscilaciones horizontales de edificios (generadas por movimientos sísmicos o por la acción del viento) mediante la acción activa de barras diagonales de arriostramiento formadas por cables (de acero) pretensados. Las fuerzas (horizontales) de control se determinan a partir de una estrategia de control predictivo que tiene en cuenta el tiempo de retardo en la respuesta de los actuadores así como los errores en la estimación de los parámetros estructurales (incluyendo los citados tiempos de retardo). La respuesta dinámica del edificio con los actuadores se determina numéricamente mediante un algoritmo (desarrollado específicamente para este objetivo) que simula el comportamiento en espacio de estado. La exactitud de este modelo se contrasta con resultados experimentales obtenidos de ensayos efectuados en los laboratorios de la "State University of New York" (Buffalo, NY). Se lleva a cabo un estudio paramétrico para estudiar la eficacia del sistema propuesto en reducir la respuesta a acciones sísmicas y del viento. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que el sistema es plenamente eficaz (y robusto frente a distintas situaciones imprevistas).
This work proposes a system to reduce the horizontal oscillations of buildings (generated by seismic motions or by wind gusts) through the active action of diagonal braces constituted by prestressed steel cables (active tendons). The horizontal control forces are determined from a predictive control strategy which accounts the time delay and the identification errors. The dynamic response of the building is determined numerically by an ad-hoc algorithm. This model is calibrated with ad-hoc experimental results obtained in the laboratories of the "State University of New York" (Buffalo, NY). A parametrical numerical study to assess the efficiency of the proposed system (uner wind and seismic actions) is carried out. The results show that the system is fully efficient and robust.
Estimación de la producción y transporte de sedimentos en cuencas urbanas pequeñas a escala de evento mediante un modelo de base física basado en SIG
Authors:   , Zambrano Nájera Jeannette 
Published: October 2023

Huge modifications have been made to landscape or urban watersheds, especially in twentieth century, caused by increases in urbanization have led to progressive increases in runoff flows and therefore sediment production. These conditions are exacerbated in climates with high rainfall intensities and short duration, such as those occurring in the Mediterranean Coast. These sediments especially coarse sediments can cause erosion problems and obstruction of drainage systems which in turns reduce hydraulic capacity. For these reasons, it is more and more important to study of sediment production by water erosion in header urban watershed.
One way of doing this is by modeling the processes that transform rainfall rate, as well as production, transport and depos ilion of sediments.
The objective of this work is to develop a model to estimate production and transport of sediments, which are useful for predicting the behavior of sediments in header urban watersheds. For this reason, it is proposed a new distributed physically based model applicable to watersheds with rainfall conditions similar to those in Mediterranean Coast (high intensity, short duration). The model is successfully applied to two basins with totally different validation conditions .
Las grandes modificaciones sufridas en el paisaje de las cuencas urbanas –especialmente en el siglo XX-, causadas por el incremento de los asentamientos urbanos han conducido al aumento progresivo de los caudales de escorrentía y por tanto a una mayor producción de sedimentos. Estas condiciones se ven agravadas en climas con precipitaciones con altas intensidades y corta duración, como las que se presentan en el Litoral Mediterráneo.
Estos sedimentos especialmente los gruesos, pueden causar problemas de erosión y lo que generará obstrucciones en la red de drenaje reduciendo la capacidad hidráulica. Por estas razones, cada vez cobra más importancia el estudio de los sedimentos generados por la erosión hídrica en zonas urbanas, especialmente en las cuencas de cabecera.
Una manera de realizarlo es mediante la modelación de los procesos que transforman la lluvia en caudal, así como de los procesos de producción, transporte y depositación de sedimentos.
El objetivo de este trabajo es desarrollar un modelo para estimar la producción y el transporte de sedimentos, el cual sirva para predecir el comportamiento de este en cuencas urbanas de cabecera. Por tal motivo se propone un nuevo modelo en base física distribuido aplicable a cuencas con condiciones pluviométricas similares a las del Litoral Mediterráneo (alta intensidad y corta duración). El modelo es aplicado exitosamente en dos cuencas con condiciones de validación totalmente diferentes
Contribución al estudio de la generación geométrica de formas arquitectónicas y urbanas
Authors:   , Bofill Anna 
Published: October 2023

Esta Memoria expone en primer lugar un aspecto de los problemas del urbanismo, desde la óptica de la "forma física" o configuración del entorno -vivienda, calle, plaza, barrio, ciudad-, que conduce, como consecuencia, a proponer un método de razonamiento para la creación de formas arquitectónicas y urbanas. Este método incluye, por un lado, un útil matemático o "sistema de generación geométrica de formas" y por otro lado, una propuesta de utilización de este sistema en un proyecto concreto de agrupación urbana.
La "generación geométrica de formas" tridimensionales y bidimensionales ha sido el propósito fundamental del ensayo, y en especial la aplicación de la teoría de los mov. rig. del espacio E3 a poliedros rectangulares que representan volúmenes elementales habitables. Con ello se han obtenido ejemplos de conjuntos ordenados de "espacios llenos"	(utilizados como espacios cerrados de habitación) y "espacios vacíos" (que juegan el papel de espacios urbanos) en una infinita gama de posibilidades a explotar. Se ha intentado mostrar la riqueza potencial del sistema, que, si pudiera automatizarse en un futuro próximo, por el uso de ordenadores, ahorraría a los arquitectos y urbanistas una gran energía mental en inventar cada vez tipologías y formas de agrupación, que por este sistema estarían todas establecidas y al alcance de cualquier especialista. En cambio, esta energía imaginativa podría utilizarse en la realización de los proyectos, adaptando las configuraciones abstractas ya conocidas a las necesidades de uso y funcionamiento en cada caso, y procurando ambientes cálidos y expresivos tanto para los espacios interiores como para los espacios exteriores urbanos. Esta última adaptación debería ser efectuada a ser posible por los mismos usuarios o habitantes de la ciudad, aunque esta voluntad sea, actualmente, algo quimérica.

Crecimiento progresivo vertical de la vivienda social tipo t8, con materiales tradicionales en la ciudad de Portoviejo
Authors: Vera Rivadeneira María Belén , Hidalgo Cordero Juan Fernando , Panchana-Cedeño Ramona Albertina 
Published: October 2023

Las viviendas financiadas a trasvés del MIDUVI como es el caso de la vivienda T8 son pensadas para una familia de apenas cinco integrantes como máximo, es decir, madre, padre y tres hijos; sin embargo, lo que sucede conforme pasa el tiempo es que los hijos mayores suelen tener una pareja y desean formar un nuevo hogar; lo cual es una situación muy recurrente en la cultura latinoamericana. Con estos antecedentes, es fundamental dar una alternativa para que la vivienda tipo T8 pueda tener un crecimiento vertical eficiente, mediante una segunda planta, que se pueda convertir en una segunda vivienda para dar hospedaje a los integrantes de la familia ampliada. Por lo tanto, el objetivo primordial de este documento es “Determinar la factibilidad del crecimiento progresivo vertical en la vivienda social- MIDUVI tipo T8 con materiales tradicionales para el mejoramiento de las condiciones espaciales y habitabilidad de los usuarios y la disminución del impacto ambiental producido por la construcción convencional en el cantón Portoviejo”: para lo cual la metodología empleada fue de tipo mixta, mediante encuesta a los usuarios y revisión de bases bibliográficas. De la misma manera, se realizó un análisis de los materiales primordiales para el proceso constructivo planteado, también se realizaron los planos y sus detalles generales. A partir de todo este estudio se obtuvo como conclusión que la gran mayoría de los encuestados quienes determinan bondades sobresalientes en la construcción con materiales tradicionales como caña y madera, tales como confortabilidad, sustentabilidad y economía lo cual la convierte en una opción constructiva socioeconómica de mayor factibilidad que la construcción convencional a base de hormigón armado.
