EL SART: AUDITORÍAS DEL IESS PARA RIESGOS DEL TRABAJO

At present, management systems are the real development of efficiency, efficacy and effectivity standards applied to Organizational Development. Quality, Environment, Harmlessness, Security and Health among others, have been standardized in order to become homogeneous and flexible in the process of Systems integration. In Ecuador, Ecuadorian Social Security Institute (IESS) has fulfilled its objective, which was set forth approximately ten years ago: “to stop being an entity of recommendation and start to be an auditor organization of technical and legal fulfillments in matters of Work Risks Prevention for enterprises subject to IESS system. SART is currently a legal mandatory provision in Security and Health for enterprises throughout the country.Los Sistemas de Gestión son en la actualidad el desarrollo de los estándares de eficiencia, eficacia y efectividad aplicados al Desarrollo Organizacional. Calidad, Ambiente, Inocuidad, Seguridad y Salud entre otros, se han estandarizado con la finalidad de ser homogéneos y flexibles en la integración de los Sistemas. En Ecuador, el Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social ha cumplido su objetivo planteado hace aproximadamente una década: dejar de ser un ente de recomendación y pasar a ser un organismo auditor de los cumplimientos técnico legal en materia de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales para las empresas sujetas al régimen del IESS. El SART, es ahora, un cumplimiento legal obligatorio en Seguridad y Salud para las empresas a nivel nacional

Decentralized EV charging and discharging scheduling algorithm based on Type-II fuzzy-logic controllers

Electric vehicles suppose a new paradigm in mobility and a challenge for today electric grids because its number increases day by day. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to keep the electric grid stable to allow an efficient charging of electric vehicles, besides keeping the traditional energy services for every other electric devices in industry, cities and homes. To achieve that, the process of charging and discharging of electric vehicles should be taken under consideration to allow an efficient use of the available energy in the grid and batteries. In the present work, we propose a type-II fuzzy cascade controller that will be run in every electric vehicle following a decentralized approach when it is plugged. In the first level of the controller the need and urgency of charging/discharging are evaluated based on grid voltage that the EV charging station measures. The electricity prices are also considered in this first phase. In the second level, the amount of charging/discharging energy is finally decided based on the battery state and the time remaining for departure specified by the user. The implemented type-II fuzzy controller presents an significant advantage compares to type-I systems because of its better suitability for systems where measures have high levels of uncertainty like those existing in the electric grid or batteries. The controller has been tested on a branch type distribution network, where load demand and energy cost vary dynamically over a three days simulation period.Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Málaga / CBU

Catalogue of exoplanets accessible in reflected starlight to the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. A population study and prospects for phase-curve measurements

Reflected starlight measurements will open a new path in the characterization of directly imaged exoplanets. However, we still lack a population study of known targets amenable to this technique. Here, we investigate which of the about 4300 exoplanets confirmed to date are accessible to the Roman Space Telescope's coronagraph (CGI) in reflected starlight at reference wavelengths $\lambda$=575, 730 and 825 nm. We carry out a population study and also address the prospects for phase-curve measurements. We used the NASA Exoplanet Archive as a reference for planet and star properties, and explored the impact of their uncertainties on the exoplanet's detectability by applying statistical arguments. We define a planet as Roman-accessible on the basis of the instrument inner and outer working angles and its minimum planet-to-star constrast (IWA, OWA, $C_{min}$). We adopt for these technical specifications three plausible configurations labeled as pessimistic, intermediate and optimistic. Our key outputs for each exoplanet are its probability of being Roman-accessible ($P_{access}$), the range of observable phase angles, the evolution of its equilibrium temperature, the number of days per orbit that it is accessible and its transit probability. In the optimistic scenario, we find 26 Roman-accessible exoplanets with $P_{access}$>25% and host stars brighter than $V$=7 mag. This population is biased towards planets more massive than Jupiter but also includes the super-Earths tau Cet e and f which orbit near their star's habitable zone. A total of 13 planets are part of multiplanet systems, 3 of them with known transiting companions, offering opportunities for contemporaneous characterization. The intermediate and pessimistic scenarios yield 10 and 3 Roman-accessible exoplanets, respectively. We find that inclination estimates (e.g. with astrometry) are key for refining the detectability prospects.Comment: Accepted for publication in A&A. 34 pages, 12 Tables, 24 Figure

(1E,2E)-1,2-Bis(2,2-diphenyl­hydrazin-1-yl­idene)ethane

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C26H22N4, the mol­ecule is located on an inversion centre and shows an E configuration with respect to each C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings in the diphenyl­hydrazone group is 83.69 (11)°. These two rings make dihedral angles of 30.53 (15) and 84.53 (16)° with the central N—N=C—C=N—N dihydrazonoethane plane. Inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions are observed

Extended Main Sequence Turnoffs in Open Clusters as Seen by Gaia: I. NGC 2818 and the Role of Stellar Rotation

We present an analysis of the relatively low mass ($\sim2400$~M$_{\odot}$), $\sim800$~Myr, Galactic open cluster, NGC~2818, using Gaia DR2 results combined with VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy. Using Gaia DR2 proper motions and parallax measurements we are able to select a clean sample of cluster members. This cluster displays a clear extended main sequence turn-off (eMSTO), a phenomenon previously studied mainly in young and intermediate age massive clusters in the Magellanic clouds. The main sequence of NGC~2818 is extremely narrow, with a width of $\sim0.01$ magnitudes (G$_{\rm BP} -$ G$_{\rm RP}$), suggesting very low levels of differential extinction. Using VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy of 60 cluster members to measure the rotational velocity of the stars (Vsini) we find that stars on the red side of the eMSTO have high Vsini ($>160$~km/s) while stars on the blue side have low Vsini ($<160$~km/s), in agreement with model predictions. The cluster also follows the previously discovered trend between the age of the cluster and the extent of the eMSTO. We conclude that stellar rotation is the likely cause of the eMSTO phenomenon

Chitosans of different molecular weight enhance potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) yield in a field trial

Physico-chemical features of chitosan affect its biological activity on plants. In this work, the influence of chitosan molecular mass in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) yields was investigated. By using chitosan polymers of high (CH-1) and low (CH-2) molecular weight and a hydrolysed chitosan derivative (CHH), two experiments were performed under field conditions to determine the effect of these polymers on yields of two potato varieties, ‘Call White’ and ‘Santana’. For this purpose, the foliar spray of low doses of the derivatives at three cultivation moments was performed and several yield variables were determined at crop harvest. All three chitosan compounds increased the performance variables determined respect to the control, depending on the variable, the dose employed and the mass of the derivative evaluated. In most variables determined, the two lowest doses (200 and 325 mg/ha) provoked the highest increments above control. Chitosans also affected distribution of mass per tuber size, particularly; in ‘Santana’ variety the two lowest doses enhanced the commercial tuber sizes. Among the polymers, CH-1 caused the greatest increases in performance, while, compared to the polymer, CHH provoked higher yields. In conclusion, foliar application at low doses of high molecular weight and hydrolysed chitosan enhanced potato yield between 15-30%

Vitamin B12, folate, and homocysteine in metabolic syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Background & aims: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with life-threatening conditions. Several studies have reported an association of vitamin B12, folic acid, or homocysteine (Hcy) levels with MetS. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed the association of vitamin B12, folic acid, and Hcy levels with MetS. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Ovid/Medline, and Web of Science were searched up to February 13, 2023. Cross-sectional, case-control, or cohort studies were included. A random-effects model was performed using the DerSimonian and Laird method to estimate the between-study variance. Effect measures were expressed as odds ratios (OR) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Between-study heterogeneity was evaluated using Cochran’s Q test and the I2 statistic. Results: Sixty-six articles (n = 87,988 patients) were included. Higher vitamin B12 levels were inversely associated with MetS (OR = 0.87; 95% CI: 0.81–0.93; p < 0.01; I2 = 90%). Higher Hcy levels were associated with MetS (OR = 1.19; 95% CI: 1.14–1.24; p < 0.01; I2 = 90%). Folate levels were not associated with MetS (OR = 0.83; 95% CI: 0.66–1.03; p = 0.09; I2 = 90%). Conclusion: Higher vitamin B12 levels were inversely associated with MetS, whereas higher Hcy levels were associated with MetS. Studies assessing the pathways underlying this association are requiredRevisión por pare
