Análisis del impuesto general a las ventas y su incidencia en la amazonía

Los beneficios tributarios constituyen incentivos otorgados por el Estado eximiendo parcial o totalmente las obligaciones tributarias de determinados contribuyentes. Esto con el objeto de promover e incentivar la inversión, el crecimiento y el desarrollo económico y social de las zonas consideradas en desventaja. En el Perú, se han realizado algunos estudios con la finalidad de determinar el efecto producido por la aplicación de los beneficios tributarios. Las conclusiones de este estudio y otros presentados como antecedentes de la presente investigación, resuelven que la aplicación de los beneficios tributarios no ha alcanzado el objetivo de promover el desarrollo económico de las zonas beneficiadas en nuestro país y que por el contrario han generado serios problemas económicos como el contrabando, la evasión y la elusión fiscal. La exoneración de este impuesto es el tipo de beneficio con mayor impacto en la economía nacional. ¿Cuál es el impacto que produce la aplicación de la exoneración del IGV en rentabilidad de las empresas de la Región Amazónica? El objetivo del presente trabajo es determinar y explicar el efecto que se produce en la rentabilidad de las empresas de esta región como consecuencia de la aplicación de los beneficios tributarios, en específico la exoneración del IGV. La hipótesis de este estudio enuncia que la aplicación de la exoneración del Impuesto General a las Ventas incide en la rentabilidad de las empresas de esta zona del país. Se espera que el presente trabajo de sirva como referencia para el entendimiento de los efectos producidos por la aplicación de la exoneración del IGV y su incidencia en la Amazonía. Del mismo modo, los expertos hacen mención a los índices de pobreza e incluso al índice de precios, los cuales manifiestan que no se ha conseguido el objetivo principal de la Ley que consiste en brindar apoyo de desarrollo a esta zona del país. Es así que se puede concluir que la exoneración del IGV no cumple con el objetivo de incentivar la inversión en la región amazónica

Propuesta de mejora de la aplicación de Lean Value Stream Mapping en el proceso de atención al paciente en una institución de servicio de salud pública, Lima 2019

Actualmente, existen continuas quejas por la insatisfacción de los pacientes en el proceso de servicio de atención en los diferentes establecimientos de salud, cabe resaltar que esta situación mayormente se reporta en instituciones públicas. Es por ello, que se realizará un estudio que tiene como objetivo determinar si la aplicación del Lean Value Stream Mapping mejorará el proceso de atención al paciente en una institución de servicio de salud pública, Lima 2019; con el propósito de identificar aquellas actividades que no aportan valor agregado al proceso o que generan cuellos de botellas en el servicio de atención desde el ingreso del paciente hasta el diagnóstico del médico especialista, pasando por farmacia y laboratorio. Luego de ello, proponer un mapa de flujo futuro que mejore los tiempos de espera del proceso para recibir el servicio, mediante el tiempo de ciclo ideal, el balanceo de línea, el sistema pull, y la aplicación de las siguientes técnicas Lean Manufacturing: 5S y Kanban. Al final de la investigación, se permitió conocer que la implementación de dicha herramienta ha permitido mejorar el proceso de atención, debido a que se redujo los tiempos de espera y de atención de las diferentes actividades estudiadas, así como también se aumentó la eficiencia, eficacia y productividad del proceso, el cual se comprobaron mediante la comparación de los cálculos de los indicadores actuales y futuros de la variable dependiente.Currently, there are continuous complaints about the dissatisfaction of patients in the process of service in different health facilities, it should be noted that this situation is mostly reported in public institutions. That is why a study will be carried out that aims to determine if the application of the Lean Value Stream Mapping will improve the patient care process in a public health service institution, Lima 2019; with the purpose of identifying those activities that do not add value to the process or that generate bottlenecks in the care service from the patient's admission to the diagnosis of the medical specialist, through pharmacy and laboratory. After that, propose a future flow map that improves the waiting times of the process to receive the service, using the ideal cycle time, line balancing, the pull system, and the application of the following Lean Manufacturing techniques: 5S and Kanban. At the end of the investigation, it was allowed to know that the implementation of said tool has allowed to improve the attention process, because the waiting and attention times of the different activities studied were reduced, as well as efficiency, effectiveness and productivity of the process, which were checked by comparing the calculations of the current and future indicators of the dependent variable.Trabajo de investigaciónCampus Lima Centr

Evidence for widespread hydrated minerals on asteroid (101955) Bennu

Early spectral data from the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission reveal evidence for abundant hydrated minerals on the surface of near-Earth asteroid (101955) Bennu in the form of a near-infrared absorption near 2.7 µm and thermal infrared spectral features that are most similar to those of aqueously altered CM-type carbonaceous chondrites. We observe these spectral features across the surface of Bennu, and there is no evidence of substantial rotational variability at the spatial scales of tens to hundreds of metres observed to date. In the visible and near-infrared (0.4 to 2.4 µm) Bennu’s spectrum appears featureless and with a blue (negative) slope, confirming previous ground-based observations. Bennu may represent a class of objects that could have brought volatiles and organic chemistry to Earth

The dynamic geophysical environment of (101955) Bennu based on OSIRIS-REx measurements

The top-shaped morphology characteristic of asteroid (101955) Bennu, often found among fast-spinning asteroids and binary asteroid primaries, may have contributed substantially to binary asteroid formation. Yet a detailed geophysical analysis of this morphology for a fast-spinning asteroid has not been possible prior to the Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) mission. Combining the measured Bennu mass and shape obtained during the Preliminary Survey phase of the OSIRIS-REx mission, we find a notable transition in Bennu’s surface slopes within its rotational Roche lobe, defined as the region where material is energetically trapped to the surface. As the intersection of the rotational Roche lobe with Bennu’s surface has been most recently migrating towards its equator (given Bennu’s increasing spin rate), we infer that Bennu’s surface slopes have been changing across its surface within the last million years. We also find evidence for substantial density heterogeneity within this body, suggesting that its interior is a mixture of voids and boulders. The presence of such heterogeneity and Bennu’s top shape are consistent with spin-induced failure at some point in its past, although the manner of its failure cannot yet be determined. Future measurements by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will provide insight into and may resolve questions regarding the formation and evolution of Bennu’s top-shape morphology and its link to the formation of binary asteroids

Validating a Masculinity Scale in a Non-College Sample

Sexual assault in the United States is prevalent. One out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted rape or complete rape. Previous research demonstrates that hypermasculine attitudes are positively predictive of sexual aggression toward women. In these studies, researchers have continued to utilize outdated and inappropriate measures like the Hypermasculinity Inventory (1984) to assess hypermasculinity. Measures that assess hypermasculinity have only been validated on college samples. A modern measure of masculinity is the Auburn Differential Masculinity Inventory-23 (Burk, Burkhart, & Sikorski, 2004), which has been validated in college samples. The present research evaluated the psychometric properties of the Auburn Differential Masculinity Inventory (ADMI-23) with a non-college student sample using Prolific, an online platform for independent contractors to complete surveys. Participants were 377 individuals who self-identified as heterosexual males that were not enrolled in a college or university institution. Results showed that the four-factor model that underlies that ADMI-23 provided a good description of how the ADMI-23 items relate to each other. The non-college sample reported low levels of masculinity. Additionally, the observed scores from the ADMI-23 and its subscales demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity

A Critical Analysis on Mexican Americans Associated with Gangs Living in San Antonio, Texas

The U.S has a major national concern of mass incarceration. Mass incarceration poses a threat to achieve health equity as there are many adverse health effects documented related to incarceration (i.e., posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, hypertension, diabetes, asthma, hepatitis, HIV, tuberculosis, etc.,). There is a great need to conduct research on incarceration with a critical lens. The present study examined the incarceration trajectories of Mexican American men who were associated with gangs during their youth and lived in the west side of San Antonio. This cohort of males were followed at three different timepoints in their life using retrospective data. The study spanned from 1997-2012. To identify latent classes, growth mixture modeling was utilized. The results indicated two latent classes of incarceration. One-way ANOVAs, chi-square tests of independence and a one-way MANOVA were conducted to determine associations with the latent classes. The one-way MANOVA yielded statistically significant differences between the two classes on depression and behavioral risk violence. These findings contribute to the literature and give researchers a better understanding of the heterogeneity of individuals who are incarcerated. The findings have important implications for ensuring mental health providers are fully equipped to treat formerly incarcerated individuals

Self-identification as a moderator of the relationship between gambling-related perceived norms and gambling behavior.

This research was designed to evaluate social influences and perceived social norms on gambling behavior among undergraduate students. Furthermore, this research was designed to replicate and extend previous research demonstrating that young adults overestimate the prevalence of gambling among peers, and that the magnitude of overestimation is positively associated with own use (Larimer and Neighbors, Psychol Addict Behav 17:235–243, 2003). We expected that; (1) gambling college students would identify more strongly with other gambling students compared to other students in general; (2) identification with other gambling students would predict gambling behaviors over and above perceived prevalence of gambling; and (3) identification with other gambling students would moderate the association between perceived social norms and gambling behavior. Participants included 1,486 undergraduate students who completed measures assessing gambling quantity and frequency, gambling-related perceived descriptive norms, and identification with groups. Results revealed that perceived norms for gambling were associated with gambling and revealed that students identified more strongly with other students than either gamblers or student gamblers. However, gambling behavior was more strongly associated with identification with gambling students than students in general. There was consistent support for the perspective that social identity moderates the association between perceived norms for gambling and gambling behavior. This research builds on previous examinations of social influences related to gambling and suggests that it may be important to consider the overall prevalence of a given behavior before considering norms-based intervention approaches. Interventions utilizing social norms for gambling may be advised to consider references other than just the typical student
