Aplicaciones Innovadoras De La Robótica Y Biomédica En La Salud Pública Durante La Pandemia Del COVID-19: Robotics and Biomedical Innovative Applications in Public Health during the COVID-19 Pandemic

In the current situation of the large-scale spread of COVID-19, whereas contagion increases, the role of robots (designed with Teleoperation and Artificial Intelligence technology) in society becomes essential, because they need to be used in hospital settings, urban environment, and also using Telemedicine consultancy to have access to all communities in the world, in order to avoid the spread of the virus. In addition, multidisciplinary work could be promoted, among the engineering and health sciences in the American Continent and Worldwide, through research, development and innovation projects in Biomedical Engineering, with the proposal of being ready to face a global and national emergency like the current Pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2.En la situación actual de propagación a gran escala del COVID-19, mientras aumenta el contagio, el papel de los robots (diseñados con tecnología de Teleoperación e Inteligencia Artificial) en la sociedad se vuelve fundamental, pues necesitan ser utilizados en entornos hospitalarios, entornos urbanos, y también utilizar la consultoría de Telemedicina para tener acceso a todas las comunidades del mundo, a fin de evitar la propagación del virus. Además, se podría promover el trabajo multidisciplinario, entre la ingeniería y las ciencias de la salud en el Continente Americano y a nivel mundial, a través de proyectos de investigación, desarrollo e innovación en Ingeniería Biomédica, con la propuesta de estar preparados para enfrentar una emergencia global y nacional como la actual Pandemia. causado por el SARS-CoV-2

Human Errors in Data Breaches: An Exploratory Configurational Analysis

Information Systems (IS) are critical for employee productivity and organizational success. Data breaches are on the rise—with thousands of data breaches accounting for billions of records breached and annual global cybersecurity costs projected to reach $10.5 trillion by 2025. A data breach is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information—and can be achieved intentionally or unintentionally. Significant causes of data breaches are hacking and human error; in some estimates, human error accounted for about a quarter of all data breaches in 2018. Furthermore, the significance of human error on data breaches is largely underrepresented, as hackers often capitalize on organizational users’ human errors resulting in the compromise of systems or information. The research problem that this study addressed is that organizational data breaches caused by human error are both costly and have the most significant impact on Personally Identifiable Information (PII) breaches. Human error types can be classified in three categories—Skill-Based Error (SBE), Rule-Based Mistakes (RBM), and Knowledge-Based Mistakes (KBM)—tied to the associated levels of human performance. The various circumstantial and contextual factors that influence human performance to cause or contribute to human error are called Performance Influencing Factors (PIF). These PIFs have been examined in the safety literature and most notably in Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) applications. The list of PIFs is context specific and had yet to be comprehensively established in the cybersecurity literature—a significant research gap. The main goal of this research study was to employ configurational analysis—specifically, Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Analysis (fsQCA)—to empirically assess the conjunctural causal relationship of internal (individual) and external (organizational and contextual) Cybersecurity Performance Influencing Factors (CS-PIFs) leading to Cybersecurity Human Error (CS-HE) (SBE, RBM, and KBM) that resulted in the largest data breaches across multiple organization types from 2007 to 2019 in the United States (US). Feedback was solicited from 31 Cybersecurity Subject Matter Experts (SME), and they identified 1st order CS-PIFs and validated the following 2nd order CS-PIFs: organizational cybersecurity; cybersecurity policies and procedures; cybersecurity education, training, and awareness; ergonomics; cybersecurity knowledge, skills, and abilities; and employee cybersecurity fitness for duty. Utilizing data collected from 102 data breach cases, this research found that multiple combinations, or causal recipes, of CS-PIFs led to certain CS-HEs, that resulted in data breaches. Specifically, seven of the 36 fsQCA models had solution consistencies that exceeded the minimum threshold of 0.80, thereby providing argument for the contextual nature of CS-PIFs, CS-HE, and data breaches. Two additional findings were also discovered—five sufficient configurations were present in two models, and the absence of strong cybersecurity knowledge, skills, and abilities is a necessary condition for all cybersecurity human error outcomes in the observed cases

Evaluando los niveles tróficos de dos tiburones oceánicos del Océano Pacífico suroriental

Indexación: Web of ScienceStable isotope analyses for shortfin mako (Isurus oxyrinchus) and blue sharks (Prionace glauca) were conducted to assess their trophic position in two periods of time (before 1980 and after 2000) in the Southeastern Pacific waters (SEP). Both sharks showed that their trophic position decreased over time (P < 0.05). Many factors could be involved in this change such as dietary shifts, prey availability, or indirect fishing effects in SEP waters.RESUMEN. Para evaluar los niveles tróficos de los tiburones marrajo (Isurus oxyrinchus) y azulejo (Prionace glauca) en dos períodos de tiempo (previo a 1980 y posterior al 2000) en aguas del Pacífico suroriental (SEP), se realizaron análisis de isótopos estables. Ambos tiburones mostraron un descenso del nivel trófico en el tiempo (P < 0,05). Varios son los factores que pueden estar involucrados en este evento, como los cambios dietarios, la disponibilidad de las presas o los efectos indirectos de la pesquería en aguas del Pacífico suroriental.http://www.lajar.cl/pdf/imar/v44n2/Art%C3%ADculo_44_2_25.pd

Metodología para el desarrollo de centrales hidroeléctricas

La energía hidroeléctrica tiene suficientes recursos disponibles y es promovida activamente por los gobiernos como parte de su matriz energética, pero su desarrollo se ve limitado por la dificultad de abordar las particularidades de la ubicación, incluidas características técnicas como geología o hidrología, y características institucionales como la aceptación social y las limitaciones ambientales. y el marco regulatorio. Los resultados del proyecto surgen de las interacciones de estas características inherentes y la arquitectura del proyecto y no siempre cumplen con las expectativas de las partes interesadas, lo que lleva a resultados de proyecto deficientes y pérdida de valor.Tesi

INNOVACIONES INTERNACIONALES EN ROBÓTICA MÉDICA PARA MEJORAR EL MANEJO DEL PACIENTE EN PERÚ: INTERNATIONAL INNOVATIONS IN MEDICAL ROBOTICS TO IMPROVE THE PATIENT MANAGEMENT IN PERU

Surgical Engineering Society conducted a research, the First Review as the pioneers in LATAM, since year 2015, which develops the topic of the latest Medical Robotics technologies created in North América, Europe and Asia, which are imported to apply in the Healthcare System of Peru and Latin America. The robotic systems for surgery, rehabilitation and assistance are presented covering the description of control design and technical specifications. Besides, the patient management using robots is analyzed with diagnosis, prognosis and treatment tools. The process to evaluate the new inventions of robotic devices and bring to the market is introduced where three stages are shown as the following: innovation, regulatory affairs and biomedical application. Moreover, there is a high percentage of population with disability in Latin America, therefore, it is necessary that more biomedical scientists be specialized in robotics to start developing new ideas to improve the patient management. Finally, the new technologies created in Latin America must be affordable, simply and efficient in order to support the healthcare economic situation in the continent and give the best quality standards to improve treatment outcomes on patients.Surgical Engineering Society realizó una investigación, la primera revisión como pioneros en LATAM, desde el año 2015, que desarrolla el tema de las últimas tecnologías de robótica médica creadas en América del Norte, Europa y Asia, que se importan para aplicarlas en el sistema de salud de Perú y América Latina Los sistemas robóticos para cirugía, rehabilitación y asistencia se presentan cubriendo la descripción del diseño del control y las especificaciones técnicas.

: Libertad económica, crecimiento y convergencia

Un hecho destacable, durante las dos últimas décadas y a escala mundial, en lo relativo a la experiencia en política económica, lo constituye el auge cobrado por las políticas económicas de signo liberalizador y de apertura al comercio internacional, aplicadas con mayor o menor grado de intensidad, o de apremio, según las circunstancias concretas de cada país, siendo éstos con frecuencia muy dispares (Nueva Zelanda, Reino Unido, Portugal, Chile, República Checa, China, Indonesia, etc). Esta estrategia de política económica, avalada por la teoría económica y por la propia experiencia (balance global decepcionante en la aplicación de otras estrategias más intervencionistas y proteccionistas), parece claro que se traduce en una mejora en la eficiencia asignativa de la economía y también, en la medida en que se aminoran los desincentivos económicos asociados con políticas económicas altamente distorsionadoras, en una importante dinamización de la actividad económica. Pero yendo un poco más allá, puede resultar de gran interés conocer el efecto que esta línea de política económica puede haber tenido sobre los objetivos de política económica de crecimiento a largo plazo y convergencia real.

Beeping a Maximal Independent Set

We consider the problem of computing a maximal independent set (MIS) in an extremely harsh broadcast model that relies only on carrier sensing. The model consists of an anonymous broadcast network in which nodes have no knowledge about the topology of the network or even an upper bound on its size. Furthermore, it is assumed that an adversary chooses at which time slot each node wakes up. At each time slot a node can either beep, that is, emit a signal, or be silent. At a particular time slot, beeping nodes receive no feedback, while silent nodes can only differentiate between none of its neighbors beeping, or at least one of its neighbors beeping. We start by proving a lower bound that shows that in this model, it is not possible to locally converge to an MIS in sub-polynomial time. We then study four different relaxations of the model which allow us to circumvent the lower bound and find an MIS in polylogarithmic time. First, we show that if a polynomial upper bound on the network size is known, it is possible to find an MIS in O(log^3 n) time. Second, if we assume sleeping nodes are awoken by neighboring beeps, then we can also find an MIS in O(log^3 n) time. Third, if in addition to this wakeup assumption we allow sender-side collision detection, that is, beeping nodes can distinguish whether at least one neighboring node is beeping concurrently or not, we can find an MIS in O(log^2 n) time. Finally, if instead we endow nodes with synchronous clocks, it is also possible to find an MIS in O(log^2 n) time.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1108.192

Facilitators and Barriers to Engagement and Effective SoTL Research Collaborations in Faculty Learning Communities

To determine factors that influence faculty engagement and success in faculty learning communities focused on collaborative Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL), our project gathered information on (1) faculty motivation to engage with SoTL; (2) structures that support collaboration; (3) the perceived impact of SoTL on teaching, scholarship, and faculty engagement in academic communities on campus and beyond; and (4) the role of the teaching center in supporting collaborative faculty learning communities focused on SoTL. In this explanatory, sequential design mixed-methods study, participants were asked to complete a survey on their experience as participants in faculty learning communities at a large comprehensive public university in the southeastern United States; researchers then conducted one-on-one interviews with select participants to gain an in-depth understanding of trends and questions emerging from the survey data. Results indicate that personal, institutional, professional, and team factors contribute to participants’ perception of the success and effectiveness of collaborative research teams. Findings from the study offer guidance for setting up effective collaborative structures for SoTL projects and nurturing inter-disciplinary research among faculty members, thus providing insights that can inform the design and facilitation of similar programs in the United States and internationally

Influence of a transverse static magnetic field on the magnetic hyperthermia properties and high-frequency hysteresis loops of ferromagnetic FeCo nanoparticles

The influence of a transverse static magnetic field on the magnetic hyperthermia properties is studied on a system of large-losses ferromagnetic FeCo nanoparticles. The simultaneous measurement of the high-frequency hysteresis loops and of the temperature rise provides an interesting insight into the losses and heating mechanisms. A static magnetic field of only 40 mT is enough to cancel the heating properties of the nanoparticles, a result reproduced using numerical simulations of hysteresis loops. These results cast doubt on the possibility to perform someday magnetic hyperthermia inside a magnetic resonance imaging setup.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
