Promotora Bocagrande - Desarrollo económico

description: Tesis (Especialista en Finanzas) – Universidad de Cartagena. Facultad de ciencias económicas. Especialización en finanzas, 2012
description: Teniendo en cuenta que la empresa en estudio inicia sus actividades en el mes de mayo del año 2009, y después de la profunda crisis económica que condujo al cierre total del antiguo operador (Hospital Boca grande S. A.) surgen grandes retos para la nueva razón social que pretende rescatar y continuar brindando servicios de salud bajo un esquema de valores que garanticen la seguridad al paciente, pero sobre todo con una mayor sostenibilidad económica sostenible. Por tal razón surgen varias incógnitas a desarrollar que nos pueden mostrar precisamente éstas variables. El nuevo grupo de inversionistas pretende antes que rescatar la prestación de los servicios de salud en este importante punto de la ciudad, hacer de esta Institución una unidad de negocio rentable al largo plazo, sin embargo, existe la sombra ineludible del fracaso financiero del antiguo hospital, que por muchas décadas fue el modelo hospitalario y de negocio a seguir entre las otras Instituciones de Servicios de Salud en la Ciudad de Cartagena. Si hacemos una comparación entre ambos negocios podemos destacar las siguientes variables; el objeto del negocio es el mismo, se cuentan con los mismos equipos médicos científicos, la misma infraestructura y el cincuenta por ciento de la planta de personal quedó intacto, entonces el primer reto a desarrollar es el direccionamiento estratégico que se le pretende dar al nuevo operador para que sea sostenible financieramente al largo plazo. El presente trabajo se desarrolla un año después de haber iniciado operaciones “Promotora Bocagrande S. A. ’’ Institución Prestadora de Servicios de Salud; con un primer año en el que han hecho grandes inversiones precisamente con el fin de generar confianza, los constantes cambios administrativos se han hecho notar, un primer año en busca de un direccionamiento estratégico que permita de forma segura el posicionamiento esperado por el grupo inversionistas, y es éste direccionamiento el cual pretendemos abordar con miras a lograr la visión de esta institución
Improving fretting fatigue behaviour of Al 7075-T6 clamped plates using surface coatings

description: In this thesis, the fatigue behaviour of aluminium alloy 7075-T6 in bolted joints has been studied where the joint plates may suffer from fretting fatigue phenomenon under applied clamping forces and oscillatory displacements. The main aim was to improve the fretting fatigue resistance of the aluminium joint by means of surface coatings method. First, the isolated effect of the bolt clamping force on the fatigue strength of a bolt-filled hole was studied in the absence of fretting. The results showed beneficial compressive stresses around the aluminium bolted holes with localised maximum magnitudes at the critical edge of the hole where there is a high tensile stress concentration as a result of the applied tensile load. The presence of the clamping compressive stresses was confirmed at different environmental temperatures of -50, 25 and 60 °C as typical flight temperatures. The compressive stress clearly reduced the net effect of the damaging cyclic longitudinal tensile stress which causes fatigue crack initiations and propagation due to the applied loads. Therefore, the fatigue strength of the bolted plates was substantially improved using higher tightening torques at the three tested environmental temperatures. In the second part of this study, the fatigue behaviour of Al 7075-T6 plates coated with two different coating materials was investigated. Titanium nitride (TiN) and nickel-phosphorous (Ni-P) coatings were deposited onto the aluminium substrate using physical vapour deposition (PVD) and electroless nickel (EN) plating processes, respectively. These coating materials were selected because of their favourable characteristics mainly for fretting fatigue considerations such as high hardness, low friction and good wear resistance. However, high operating temperature of the PVD process reduced the mechanical properties as well as fatigue strength of the aluminium substrate coated with TiN. Therefore, a post heat treatment was developed to restore the lost properties. Although the applied heat treatment substantially improved the tensile and fatigue strengths of the coated material, the lost properties were not fully recovered to achieve the original properties of Al 7075-T6. A double-lap bolted joint specimen was then designed and manufactured from the aluminium plates and subsequently coated with Ni-P coatings with a high phosphorous content of 10-13 wt%. Different tightening torques were applied to clamp the plates together with the aim of studying the effect of clamping force on the fretting fatigue life of the coated joints. Ni-P coatings were successfully found to protect Al 7075-T6 clamped plates against fretting fatigue damages even at low fatigue loads where the uncoated joints showed a large reduction in their fatigue life due to the fretting effects. Fretting fatigue life of moderately and firmly clamped plates was improved by 35% and 59% respectively after the application of Ni-P coatings.

description: Objective: A new image instance segmentation method is proposed to segment individual glands (instances) in colon histology images. This process is challenging since the glands not only need to be segmented from a complex background, they must also be individually identified. Methods: We leverage the idea of image-to-image prediction in recent deep learning by designing an algorithm that automatically exploits and fuses complex multichannel information - regional, location, and boundary cues - in gland histology images. Our proposed algorithm, a deep multichannel framework, alleviates heavy feature design due to the use of convolutional neural networks and is able to meet multifarious requirements by altering channels. Results: Compared with methods reported in the 2015 MICCAI Gland Segmentation Challenge and other currently prevalent instance segmentation methods, we observe state-of-the-art results based on the evaluation metrics. Conclusion: The proposed deep multichannel algorithm is an effective method for gland instance segmentation. Significance: The generalization ability of our model not only enable the algorithm to solve gland instance segmentation problems, but the channel is also alternative that can be replaced for a specific task.

A note on sphere free energy of $p$-form gauge theory and Hodge duality
Creators: name: Raj, Himanshu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a free $p$-form gauge theory on a $d$-dimensional sphere of radius $R$ and calculate its free energy. We perform the calculation for generic values of $p$ and obtain the free energy as a function of $d, p$ and $R$. The result contains a $\log R$ term with coefficient proportional to $\left(2p+2-d \right)$, which is consistent with lack of conformal invariance for $p$ form theories in dimensions other than $2p+2$. We also compare the result for $p$-form and $(d-p-2)$-form theory which are classically Hodge dual to each other in $d$ dimensions and find that they agree for odd values of $d$. Instead, for even $d$, we find that the results disagree by an amount that is consistent with the reported values in the literature.

Four-dimensional X-ray velocimetry for biological applications
Creators: name: Dubsky, Stephen
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The aim of this research was to develop motion measurement methods suitable for investigation of the dynamics of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. The methods developed represent critical advances in the field of functional biological imaging, and pave the way for further enhancement of our understanding of normal and pathological biological function. The thesis consists of three peer-reviewed journal articles, framed by substantial introductory and explanatory text. A thorough review of the literature identified significant limitations to the current methods for full-field measurement of vascular flow and lung function. Specifically lacking was the capability to measure four-dimensional (4D) motion fields at high spatial and temporal resolution. This capability is critically important for quantitative study of the function of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, for which function is intimately linked to motion. Two techniques were developed and applied. The approach was to combine synchrotron phase-contrast X-ray imaging with elements from computed tomography and particle image velocimetry, to provide the capacity for dynamic 4D measurement and the opportunity for quantitative data analysis. Computed tomographic X-ray velocimetry was developed and applied to in vitro vascular models. This method directly reconstructs three-dimensional motion fields from two-dimensional cross-correlations calculated from projection image pairs, without the need to first reconstruct 3D images of the sample. An extensive in silico parametric study found that the method was capable of accurate three-dimensional motion measurement from as few as 3 viewing angles. The limited number of projection angles required has the benefit of a significantly reduced X-ray radiation dose being delivered to the sample when compared with traditional computed tomography methods, a key requirement for measuring flow in living samples. Application to in vitro blood flow measurement demonstrated the effectiveness of this method for measurement of complex three-dimensional fluid flow fields. A method for high-resolution measurement of lung tissue motion and flow was developed, rigorously validated and applied to in vivo lung function measurement in mouse and rabbit pup models. The method provides the unique capacity to measure flow within the bronchial tree, throughout the breathing cycle. The method allows study of lung function in unprecedented detail, and will lead to new approaches to the study and diagnosis of various lung diseases.

description: Jeszcze w latach 60. XX wieku wszystkie organizmy bezjądrowe określano mianem Prokaryota lub Monera. Jednak 46 lat temu Carl Woese wykazał „głęboki filogenetyczny podział” pomiędzy bakteriami a tym, co znamy dziś jako Archaea. Wykazanie istnienia nie dwóch, lecz trzech domen świata żywego było jednym z największych – i jednocześnie najmniej spodziewanych – odkryć biologicznych XX wieku. Co więcej, okazało się, iż archeonom ewolucyjnie bliżej do eukariontów niż do bakterii. Archaea, choć podobnie jak bakterie nie posiadają jądra komórkowego, wyróżniają się unikatowym składem błon i ścian komórkowych, własnymi szlakami metabolicznymi, a ich procesy transkrypcji i translacji są bliższe eukariontom niż bakteriom. Jako że wielu przedstawicieli archeonów posiada zdolność funkcjonowania w środowiskach ekstremalnych, przez lata badania nad ich obecnością były ograniczone do tego typu miejsc. Dziś, dzięki nowoczesnym technikom molekularnym - zwłaszcza rewolucji "omicznej" - wiadomo, że archeony są na Ziemi wszechobecne. Wciąż jednak pozostają "pominiętym graczem" ekosystemów, zwłaszcza środowisk umiarkowanych. Wyróżniono prawie 30 typów Archaea, zaczęto opisywać ludzki archeom, możliwe też, że to właśnie archeony udzielą odpowiedzi na pytanie o początki Eukaryota. W prezentacji podsumowany zostanie aktualny stan wiedzy na temat archeonów, ich zróżnicowania, znaczenia ekologicznego, środowiskowego i potencjału aplikacyjnego.

Employee's Perception of Performance Based Incentive Schemes and Its Influence on Employee Productivity: The Case of Africa Village Financial Services S.C.
Creators: name: Wogari, Melkamu
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: The general objective of the study was to investigate and assess the relationship between employee's perception of performance based bonus and merit pay incentive scheme practices of Africa Village Financial Services and its influence on employee productivity. To undertake this general objective, four specific objectives with their underling hypothesis were designed and assessed by quantitative & qualitative research design. To set background information on the proposed hypothesis the theoretical, conceptual and other related literatures were reviewed and most of the literature finding implies that perception of employees of performance based bonus and merit pay incentive system has a significant and positive influence on employee productivity. The required data for conducting the research was obtained through structured and unstructured questionnaires. The structured questionnaire was adopted from two prior related studies. To check the reliability of the adopted instruments, the Chronbach's coefficient alpha test was carried out. AVFS has only 98 total numbers of employees and the research was conducted on the entire population. Basically, a total of 98 questionnaires were distributed to the targeted employees, among these 90 were returned, which means 8 responses were remained unreturned. Thus, 90 returned questionnaires (i.e. representing 92% of response rate) were analyzed using statistical package for social science (SPSS version 20). In this analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation and multiple regressions analysis were performed. The descriptive finding of the study showed that AVFS employees have experienced high level of positive perception towards the existing performance based incentive scheme practices leading to a high level of employee productivity. The correlation analysis result also indicates employee's perception of performance based bonus and merit pay incentive scheme has positive and significant relationship with employee productivity. Moreover, the finding of multiple regression analysis indicated that employee's perception of performance based incentive practices has positive and significant influence on employee productivity. The overall analysis revealed that the positive perception of incentives schemes are giving satisfactory results in improving employee productivity apart from increasing the incomes of AVFS employees. Therefore, it is commended that, the company has to continue implementing performance based incentive practices in the best possible way and give more emphasis on the magnitude of incentives so that the level of employee productivity can be further enhanced. Key Words: Incentives, Employee Productivity and Employee Perceptions.

Subjects: heterotopia; postmodern community; migrants’ asylums

description: This work approaches the issue of migration of the Arab population to Europe within the idea of postmodern community and the concept of heterotopia. The social and historical context (of globalization and migration) imposes necessity to discuss the community and postmodern circumstances. In this paper we refer to Foucault’s heterotopic elements within the context of migrations; places of refuge, shelters and migrants’ asylums present certain heterotopias of our society; absolute other places that give a mirror-like mixing experience. Our analysis shows how the underlying motives for resolving some of the key social problems of contemporary Europe and new community formation are not (just) at the level of social forms, but in the vital transformation of people, their lives and relations towards the Other.

description: Adoption of deep learning in image steganalysis is still in its initial stage. In this paper we propose a generic hybrid deep-learning framework for JPEG steganalysis incorporating the domain knowledge behind rich steganalytic models. Our proposed framework involves two main stages. The first stage is hand-crafted, corresponding to the convolution phase and the quantization & truncation phase of the rich models. The second stage is a compound deep neural network containing multiple deep subnets in which the model parameters are learned in the training procedure. We provided experimental evidences and theoretical reflections to argue that the introduction of threshold quantizers, though disable the gradient-descent-based learning of the bottom convolution phase, is indeed cost-effective. We have conducted extensive experiments on a large-scale dataset extracted from ImageNet. The primary dataset used in our experiments contains 500,000 cover images, while our largest dataset contains five million cover images. Our experiments show that the integration of quantization and truncation into deep-learning steganalyzers do boost the detection performance by a clear margin. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our framework is insensitive to JPEG blocking artifact alterations, and the learned model can be easily transferred to a different attacking target and even a different dataset. These properties are of critical importance in practical applications.

The Stability of Micronutrients in Fortified Food Stuffs After Processing and Storage: Iodine in Salt and Iron in Wheat Flour
Creators: name: Ayelign, Abebe
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of storage time, packaging materials, temperature, relative humidity and processing methods on the stability of iodine in salt and iron in wheat flour. Salt was fortified by potassium iodate in the level 66 mg /kg of salt with wet method of fortification. Then the iodized salt was stored using three packaging materials (LDPE, HDPE and WHDPE) at two conditions: accelerated temperature (40 0C) and high relative humidity (70-100 %) for about 18 days and room temperature and medium relative humidity for about 6 months. Generally, the amount of iodine decreased with time (p < 0.05) but accelerated storage resulted in rapid loss of iodine. Among the three packaging materials used, HDPE retained iodine from iodized salt better than the other two packaging materials. In addition, a significant amount of iodine was lost from the iodized salt after processing the iodized salt at different temperature. Wheat flour was fortified by ferrous sulfate in the level 40 mg/kg of wheat flour for room temperature (for 45 days) storage and 30 mg /kg of wheat flour for accelerated temperature (40 0C) and high relative humidity (70-100 %) (for 4.5 days) storage. For both storage conditions iron was found to be stable (p > 0.05). When the amount of iron was evaluated after processing (baking bread), the result was found to be non-significantly different. In addition, the sensory quality scores of the 30 ppm and 40 ppm iron fortified bread was above moderately liked scale and was not different from the bread made from the control.

description: Synchronization phenomena are of broad interest across disciplines and increasingly of interest in a multiplex network setting. Here we show how the Master Stability Function, a celebrated framework for analyzing synchronization on a single network, can be extended to certain classes of multiplex networks with different intra-layer and inter-layer coupling functions. We derive three master stability equations that determine respectively the necessary regions of complete synchronization, intra-layer synchronization and inter-layer synchronization. We calculate these three regions explicitly for the case of a two-layer network of R{ö}ssler oscillators and show that the overlap of the regions determines the type of synchronization achieved. In particular, if the inter- or intra-layer coupling function is such that the inter-layer or intra-layer synchronization region is empty, complete synchronization cannot be achieved regardless of the coupling strength. Furthermore, for any given nodal dynamics and network structure, the occurrence of intra-layer and inter-layer synchronization depend mainly on the coupling functions of nodes within a layer and across layers, respectively. Our mathematical analysis requires that the intra- and inter-layer supra-Laplacians commute. But we show this is only a sufficient, and not necessary, condition and that the results can be applied more generally.

description: Motivated by the successes of relativistic theories in studies of atomic/molecular and nuclear systems and the need for a relativistic chiral force in relativistic nuclear structure studies, we explore a new relativistic scheme to construct the nucleon-nucleon interaction in the framework of covariant chiral effective field theory. The chiral interaction is formulated up to leading order with covariant power counting and a Lorentz invariant chiral Lagrangian. We find that the relativistic scheme induces all six spin operators needed to describe the nuclear force. A detailed investigation of the partial wave potentials shows a better description of the $^1S_0$ and $^3P_0$ phase shifts than the leading order Weinberg approach, and similar to that of the next-to-leading order Weinberg approach. For the other partial waves with angular momenta $J\geq 1$, the relativistic results are almost the same as their leading order non-relativistic counterparts.

Realms of Shadow and Darkness – Lands of the Elsewhere
Creators: name: Fattori, Adolfo
Publisher: name: QuiEdit
Year: 2021
Subjects: imaginary; literature; phenomenology

description: A definition of “collective imaginary” can be found in the work of Gaston Bachelard and Gilbert Durand, as a place where imagination and cultural symbols meet, a vast sea in which symbols and myths are the deeply hidden sources of the imaginative encyclopaedia (a repertoire of stories and visions) of the social formation we live in. One of the richest among the symbolic and mythical knots is linked to shadow and darkness, domains of the unknown and of the terrifying – a fertile seed for more than two centuries of storytelling – an expression of the irrational drives and instances which are present in each social subjectivity. My purpose here is that of inspecting the transformations and the outcomes of a fiction that has been inspired by such symbols, making a case for a possible connection between the fiction itself and the feelings of disorientation and risk we find in contemporary society. I investigate the processes of re-sacralisation linked to the appearance of new eschatologies, by analysing the work of some authors and film directors in order to compare its content with the sociological research revolving around an emergent and undeniable “re-enchantment of the world”.

Correlating neural and symbolic representations of language

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Analysis methods which enable us to better understand the representations and functioning of neural models of language are increasingly needed as deep learning becomes the dominant approach in NLP. Here we present two methods based on Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) and Tree Kernels (TK) which allow us to directly quantify how strongly the information encoded in neural activation patterns corresponds to information represented by symbolic structures such as syntax trees. We first validate our methods on the case of a simple synthetic language for arithmetic expressions with clearly defined syntax and semantics, and show that they exhibit the expected pattern of results. We then apply our methods to correlate neural representations of English sentences with their constituency parse trees.

description: Corona Virus Disease 19 (COVID-19) is an earth-shattering pandemic with implications not only for healthcare and economics, but also for society. Its dramatic spread has interrupted the advancement of global societies, leading to a breaking point through its extreme acceleration of the crisis of lifestyle and social needs, relationships and production. This is true above all in the West, given its dominant global position. COVID-19 has forced a racing world to stop and fall back on its own fragilities. However, in the aftermath of its tragic impact, the forced imposition of a radical change could offer a unique opportunity for rebirth: an occasion to develop better alternatives to face up to these insecurities. This article aims to observe and describe some of the aspects of the pandemic and investigate them through sociological theory. This could offer valuable interpretations to unravel the complexity of the pandemic and grasp its challenge for the future.

description: We present an average case analysis of a variant of dual-pivot quicksort. We show that the used algorithmic partitioning strategy is optimal, i.e., it minimizes the expected number of key comparisons. For the analysis, we calculate the expected number of comparisons exactly as well as asymptotically, in particular, we provide exact expressions for the linear, logarithmic, and constant terms. An essential step is the analysis of zeros of lattice paths in a certain probability model. Along the way a combinatorial identity is proven.
