Accreditation Models and Digital Platforms Used for University Academic Programs in Peru

Due to the problems presented by university higher education programs in Peru, the senior executives of the universities must take the necessary measures that allow them to identify institutional procedures to subsequently implement correct activities that contribute to growth in university education service quality and thus meet the standards necessary to achieve the accreditation of university programs. The main objective is to identify and offer a relevant description of some accreditation models, which allow the development of an institutional culture based on quality management to obtain accreditation in university higher education in Peru, as well as digital platforms used for education. The methodology used was the literature review. As a main conclusion is the identification of 15 publications selected, during the full review of each of the papers, we found 5 accreditation models and 7 digital platforms that support university quality management systems

Applying Business Process Modeling to improve IT Incident Management Processes in a Public Entity in Peru

Business models used to improve current operations and tasks within private and public organizations, this technique is known as business process improvement, allowing organizations to be more efficient. Business processes are supported by the standard of the Business Process Modeling Notation, provided to organizations, to understand their internal business processes in a graphical notation and communicate its procedures in a standard way. IT departments manage IT services daily through IT incident management to restore normal operation of the service after an interruption. In the SUNARP; a public entity of Peru, there are several problems such as: long waiting time to attend to users, noncompliance in the operative part of the management of Incidents and inadequate monitoring of the attention given to users. The objective of this research is to design a model to improve the IT incident management process at SUNARP. The methodology used to design the new model has taken into account the best practices of ITIL V3 and the BPMN for the graphic notation of processes. As a result, ten differences stand out in the proposed model. It is concluded that IT incident management process was modeled with the sub processes of the escalation and change management, which has allowed business process improvement in the SUNARP

Importancia de la Gestion del Proceso de la Demanda de TI

This paper describes some aspects overall of IT demand management, a key process in the IT governance, which has not been taken into account in companies and now has a very relevant importance in the IT business. The goal the paper is to describe the problems that have CIOs and IT departments to fulfill his delivery of products/services in the term and established budget and to achieve the success in the business. There are described the importance of demand management, types of the demand, the life cycle of demand, as well as levels of maturity of demand in business

Best Practices and Methodologies for IT Project Portfolio Management

Abstract. In today's business environment, a key factor for decision making is the IT projects portfolio management (ITPPM). IT projects must be aligned with the objectives, goals and strategies, which is achieved through the appropriate application of a methodology for ITPPM. The experienced application of a methodology depends on the experience of the managers of ITPPM, considering that the application of methodologies generates best practices, it becomes necessary to study some of the more representative methodologies and obtain the best practices that allow novice administrators to initiate their portfolio management activities in information technology projects. In this article, three methodologies are studied, from which best practices are obtained, as results; a hierarchy of best practices is obtained so that project managers can be guided or introduced in their field

Autoantibodies against type I IFNs in patients with critical influenza pneumonia

In an international cohort of 279 patients with hypoxemic influenza pneumonia, we identified 13 patients (4.6%) with autoantibodies neutralizing IFN-alpha and/or -omega, which were previously reported to underlie 15% cases of life-threatening COVID-19 pneumonia and one third of severe adverse reactions to live-attenuated yellow fever vaccine. Autoantibodies neutralizing type I interferons (IFNs) can underlie critical COVID-19 pneumonia and yellow fever vaccine disease. We report here on 13 patients harboring autoantibodies neutralizing IFN-alpha 2 alone (five patients) or with IFN-omega (eight patients) from a cohort of 279 patients (4.7%) aged 6-73 yr with critical influenza pneumonia. Nine and four patients had antibodies neutralizing high and low concentrations, respectively, of IFN-alpha 2, and six and two patients had antibodies neutralizing high and low concentrations, respectively, of IFN-omega. The patients' autoantibodies increased influenza A virus replication in both A549 cells and reconstituted human airway epithelia. The prevalence of these antibodies was significantly higher than that in the general population for patients 70 yr of age (3.1 vs. 4.4%, P = 0.68). The risk of critical influenza was highest in patients with antibodies neutralizing high concentrations of both IFN-alpha 2 and IFN-omega (OR = 11.7, P = 1.3 x 10(-5)), especially those <70 yr old (OR = 139.9, P = 3.1 x 10(-10)). We also identified 10 patients in additional influenza patient cohorts. Autoantibodies neutralizing type I IFNs account for similar to 5% of cases of life-threatening influenza pneumonia in patients <70 yr old

Measurement of the top quark forward-backward production asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV

Abstract The parton-level top quark (t) forward-backward asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric (d̂ t) and chromomagnetic (μ̂ t) moments have been measured using LHC pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected in the CMS detector in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The linearized variable AFB(1) is used to approximate the asymmetry. Candidate t t ¯ events decaying to a muon or electron and jets in final states with low and high Lorentz boosts are selected and reconstructed using a fit of the kinematic distributions of the decay products to those expected for t t ¯ final states. The values found for the parameters are AFB(1)=0.048−0.087+0.095(stat)−0.029+0.020(syst),μ̂t=−0.024−0.009+0.013(stat)−0.011+0.016(syst), and a limit is placed on the magnitude of | d̂ t| &lt; 0.03 at 95% confidence level.

Search for dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks in √s = 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for weakly interacting massive particle dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks is presented. Final states containing third-generation quarks and miss- ing transverse momentum are considered. The analysis uses 36.1 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at √s = 13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. No significant excess of events above the estimated backgrounds is observed. The results are in- terpreted in the framework of simplified models of spin-0 dark-matter mediators. For colour- neutral spin-0 mediators produced in association with top quarks and decaying into a pair of dark-matter particles, mediator masses below 50 GeV are excluded assuming a dark-matter candidate mass of 1 GeV and unitary couplings. For scalar and pseudoscalar mediators produced in association with bottom quarks, the search sets limits on the production cross- section of 300 times the predicted rate for mediators with masses between 10 and 50 GeV and assuming a dark-matter mass of 1 GeV and unitary coupling. Constraints on colour- charged scalar simplified models are also presented. Assuming a dark-matter particle mass of 35 GeV, mediator particles with mass below 1.1 TeV are excluded for couplings yielding a dark-matter relic density consistent with measurements
