Este trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar si resulta procedente la impugnación de paternidad en casos de inseminación artificial, basándonos en el derecho a la identidad biológica. La investigación fue de tipo básica con enfoque cualitativo, tipo descriptivo y diseño no experimental, asimismo, se utilizó la guía de entrevista que fue dirigido a 11 abogados expertos en derecho civil y constitucional con maestría, para finalmente brindar su opinión con respecto al tema en estudio. Se concluyó que sí resulta procedente la impugnación de paternidad en casos de inseminación artificial en base al derecho a la identidad biológica, debido a que no hay una norma que lo regule e impida, sumado a ello la regulación legal es necesario debido a que todo lo que implique reproducción asistida debe comenzar desde una base de sujetos que usen y tengan el conocimiento previo sobre los últimos alcances de las mismas, sus efectos negativos y positivos e implicancias jurídicas

Complejo administrativo cultural para la dirección regional de educación de Cajamarca

La Dirección Regional de Educación es una entidad que promueve la participación activa, concertada y sostenida de estado con la sociedad civil, para la consecución de una educación democrática y de calidad, dando prioridad a la escuela pública en la zona rural y urbana, la cual está orientada a la formación de actores sociales con la capacidad de generar mayores condiciones de vida a favor del Desarrollo Humano sostenible. Por tanto, la presente investigación corresponde al desarrollo de la sede principal de esta entidad en la región de Cajamarca ubicada en la ciudad del mismo nombre. A lo largo de los años la ciudad de Cajamarca ha sufrido un crecimiento urbano exponencial, debido a esto como es tendencia en la gran mayoría de ciudades, las actividades urbanas se centralizaron alrededor la plaza de armas, por lo que se tuvieron que reubicar muchas de estas en especial las de carácter administrativo. Producto de esto nació el complejo Gran Qhapac Ñan, el cual es el nuevo centro político administrativo y cultural de la ciudad. La Dirección Regional de Educación de Cajamarca tiene una sede descentralizada y se encuentra adaptada en un local de carácter educativo, especialmente en un instituto técnico. Debido a que el local actual no fue diseñado bajo el concepto de carácter Administrativo se han presentado problemas en el correcto funcionamiento de la institución, la cual posee espacios en donde los trabajadores se encuentran hacinados, no existen circulaciones diferenciadas para los distintos tipos de usuarios y posee deficiencias tanto en infraestructura como en la calidad de servicio y atención al público. Por lo mencionado se plantea la propuesta de un proyecto que dé solución a los principales problemas que posee la actual sede y que cumpla con las necesidades para esta tipología de edificación la cual sea generada con espacios públicos que le permitan a este integrarse con la ciudad y que sobre todo posea una infraestructura adecuada para brindar servicio a la poblaciónThe Regional Directorate of Education is an entity that promotes the active, concerted and sustained participation of the state with civil society, for the achievement of a democratic and quality education, giving priority to public school in rural and urban areas. It is oriented to the information of social actors with the capacity to generate better living conditions in favor of sustainable human development. Therefore, this research corresponds to the development of the main headquarters of this entity in the Cajamarca region located in the city of Cajamarca. As over the years the city of Cajamarca has suffered exponential demografic growth, urban activities have been relocated around the main square, especially those of the administrative nature. As a result, the Gran Qhapac Ñan complex was born, which is the new political-administrative and cultural center of the city. The regional education office of Cajamarca has a decentralized headquarters and is adapted in an educational facility, more specifically in a technical institute. Problems have arisen because the current premises were not designed under the concept of an administrative nature, in the proper functioning of the institution. For example, there are no differentiated circulations for the different types of users and It has deficiencies both in infrastructure and in the quality of service and attention to the public. As I mentioned before, the puropose of or our project is to provide a solution to the main problems that the current headquarters has and to discover the needs for this type of building, which is generated with public spaces that allow to integrate with the city and that, above all, it has an adequate infrastructure to provide service to the population.Tesi

May measurement month 2018: an analysis of blood pressure screening in the Philippines.

Building on the gains of May Measurement Month 2017 (MMM17), the Philippine Society of Hypertension once again took part in MMM18 to raise awareness of high blood pressure (BP) in the country and to harness opportunistic BP screening in detecting unaware hypertensive individuals and referring them for treatment. We followed the standard MMM18 protocol designed by the International Society of Hypertension, utilizing convenience sampling with volunteer investigators, taking three sitting BP measurements of volunteer adults (≥18 years). Basic data on demographic, lifestyle, and environmental factors were also taken. We analysed 177 176 screened individuals from the Philippines. Of these, 29.1% (51 527) had also participated in MMM17, whereas 68.8% (121 893) were new screenees; and 14.2% (25 232) had their BP taken for the first time ever. After multiple imputation, 39.0% (69 126) were hypertensive. Of these, 50.3% (34 795) were aware they were hypertensive. 49.9% (34 491) were on antihypertensive medication, 58.0% (20 010) of whom had controlled BP <140/90 mmHg. Only 28.9% of all participants with hypertension had controlled BP. Systolic BPs and diastolic BPs were significantly higher in the overweight and obese, in those receiving antihypertensive medications, in patients with diabetes, and significantly lower in pregnant women. MMM18 has again shown that opportunistic BP screening, harnessing volunteers, is a pragmatic public health measure to improve awareness and treatment rates of raised BP

Energy efficiency management according to ISO 50001: A case study in the brick industry

This research presents the methodology and results of implementing energy efficiency management in the brick industry, given the problem of high electricity consumption in the production processes. Based on the ISO 50001 standard, energy efficiency management has as its structure the PHVA methodology of the Deming cycle and indicators that meet the standard's requirements. Energy consumption in tons of bricks produced is established as an indicator, allowing proposals for improving performance and efficient energy use, as well as implementing a management system, minimizing energy waste, and implementing engineering tools in the processes. Energy consumption data were collected before and after implementation, these data were analyzed, and the decrease in monthly electricity consumption was verified through a pre-test conducted at the beginning of the research, recording parameters of 543,800 kWh. After implementation, a post-test was conducted, recording parameters of 500,296 kWh, resulting in a saving of 43,504 kWh; in monetary units, the saving is S/18,067.21 for each month of production. Obtaining an annual decrease of 522,048 kWh, represented in monetary units S/216,806.53 (US$ 59,891.30 exchange rate S/3.62). Therefore, it is proven that implementing the methodology is feasible through the management of energy efficiency based on ISO 50001 and contributes strategically to the brick industry by increasing the efficiency associated with the reduction of 8% monthly electricity consumption

May Measurement Month 2017: an analysis of blood pressure screening in the Philippines-South-East Asia and Australasia

Cardiovascular diseases remain the Philippines' leading cause of mortality, with hypertension as a prevalent contributory risk factor. We took part in May Measurement Month 2017 (MMM17), a global initiative to raise awareness of high blood pressure (BP) and to serve as a temporary solution to the lack of screening programs worldwide. Following the standard MMM protocol, data for 271 604 screened individuals were submitted from the Philippines. After multiple imputation, 91 994 (34.3%) were hypertensive; 28 662 out of 205 158 participants (14.0%) not receiving treatment had hypertension; and of the 60 370 receiving treatment, 25 144 (41.6%) had uncontrolled BP. Blood pressures were significantly higher in the overweight and obese, current smokers, in participants receiving antihypertensive medication, those with previous myocardial infarction or stroke. The BP measurements were relatively lower when taken on the left arm, and in pregnant women. A slightly higher systolic BP was noted in participants who reported no alcohol intake. Blood pressures recorded during the weekends were highest, and the lowest readings were obtained on Tuesdays. MMM17 was the largest BP screening campaign conducted in the Philippines. Opportunistic BP screening, harnessing volunteers, are a cost-effective public health measure to improve awareness and treatment rates of raised BP. These may help provide additional information that can guide medical practitioners and health officials in drafting preventive and therapeutic measures to improve control rates and long-term outcomes of hypertensive individuals in the population
