Energía solar y calidad ambiental de la Región Junín

Con el propósito de contar con una herramienta que estime la radiación solar mensual y anual, sobre la superficie horizontal terrestre en la Región Junín, zona en la cual no se dispone con esta información, se adaptó el modelo Bristow-Campbell (1984) para estimar la radiación media mensual de la Región Junín. Para desarrollar este modelo Bristow-Campbell que estime la radiación solar global diaria media mensual se tomó la técnica del modelaje propuesto por Espinoza (2010), para ello se registraron las temperaturas máximas y mínimas diarias de 19 estaciones meteorológicas y las ecuaciones propuestas por el Atlas Solar del Perú. El modelo Bristow-Campbell fue validado con datos registrados en las estaciones de Santa Ana, Tarma y Satipo pertenecientes a sierra y selva respectivamente. La rentabilidad de la radiación solar estimada fue determinada tomando como referencia la radiación solar de 4,0 kWh/m2/día como rentable y mayores a 5,0 kWh/m2/día muy rentable (OLADE, 1992). Los resultados determinaron que la radiación global media mensual en la Región Junín es de 5,3 kWh/m2/día, correspondiendo a sierra 5,6 kWh/m2/día y selva 4,2 kWh/m2/día. La rentabilidad determinada para sierra es muy rentable y la selva menos rentable. Se determinó que la aplicación térmica y fotovoltaica reduciría significativamente la emisión en tCO2 a la atmosfera: un m2 de colector solar instalado en la Región Junín reduciría la emisión a la atmosfera en 0,374 de tCO2 al año y un panel de 50 Wp dejaría de emitir a la atmosfera 0,044 tCO2 al año, contribuyendo en mejorar la calidad ambiental en la Región Junín. Se concluye que la aplicación del modelo Bristow-Campbell adaptado, resulta un instrumento de gran utilidad para generar una base de datos completa de la radiación solar disponible en la Región Junín.Tesi

Una antorcha que necesita mantenerse en alto

Recently the Cuban Society of Stomatology, in the framework of the National Symposium «Vision Oral Health», held the II Workshop on Oral Cancer, in greeting on December 5, declared internationally by the Latin American Dental Federation (FOLA) as a day of struggle against that pathological entity throughout this region. This date was coincided with that of the onomastics of the illustrious Cuban scientist Dr. Julio César Santana Garay, in recognition of all the work he has done in this field.A set of contextual factors has enabled Cuba to comprehensively address the prevention of this disease, and direct it to selected groups as well as to the population in general.First, since the 1960s (the 20th century), the Cuban public health system provides free, accessible and universal medical and dental care through a coordinated national network of primary, secondary and tertiary services. This continuous attention is guaranteed by the Cuban constitution, and protects the right of people to receive adequate medical and dental care.Second, the Cuban health approach is based on the principle that the prevention of diseases allows a more effective use of resources than the treatment of them once they manifest themselves. In Cuba, massive programs and campaigns have been developed, but the success has been in popular participation and we are all people. In general, these programs and campaigns have a biosychosocial focus, and not only an epidemiological one, so they consider a set of factors that create vulnerability and risks, as in the case of oral cancer.Finally, the political will of the Ministry of Public Health and the Cuban government allows the establishment of interdisciplinary and intersectoral programs that are fundamental for the achievement and maintenance of the health of the population.To this end, the National Program for the Prevention of Oral Cancer was created, and the intention is for it to work, but this requires awareness, not only of stomatologists, but of eachdirective, of any organization and institution that is capable of carrying out the work as an important mission.Transmit information, clarify the aspects that may disturb people, work on community intervention projects that arrive in a simple and accessible way to local actors and decision-makers, making viable the management of some basic technical elements for those who wish to work with seriousness and rigor in this field, it may not be an easy task for someone who is defeated before trying such a noble task. On the contrary, whoever recognizes the work that others like Dr. Santana have started, who has the professional ethic and the humanistic principles to carry out this worthy task, will not let the torch go out.Health promotion, prevention tasks, active research, the creation of educational materials, the inclusion and prioritization of the topic in various family and social spaces, the identification of problems, the design of strategies, and their evaluation, they can not be left on anyone's land, nor should they weigh on just a couple of shoulders.It is time to jump to an upper echelon, where true science reaches the population and is realized within it with real understanding and extensive participation of experts and affections. It is time to propitiate that the dynamic overcomes the aesthetic, and that the totality implicitly involves the participation of all parties. It is necessary that science does not leave behind training or research, as the human should not forget the support and accompaniment.There are no recipes or easy answers, but the Oral Cancer Detection Program (PDCB) and its methodology put Cuba in an advantageous position before those countries with a lack of political will to solve health problems, with inadequate access to services of prevention and treatment, and in general with an inadequate and unbalanced infrastructure.The fact of being a reference in Latin America is a challenge, and to face it we need to identify evidences regarding the pathogenesis, to carry out more preventive actions, to exchange opinions regarding the progress of the Program in our country, to undertake strategies in the search for greater effectiveness, and assimilate experiences that make us grow a little more in the direction of success
