Marketing sostenible para el posicionamiento de una empresa consultora en ingeniería y seguridad en edificaciones, Trujillo, 2023

El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue determinar la influencia del marketing sostenible en el posicionamiento de una empresa de ingeniería y seguridad en edificaciones, Trujillo, 2023. Siendo una investigación básica con diseño no experimental, un enfoque cuantitativo y nivel descriptivo – correlacional. La población estuvo conformada por 120 clientes de la empresa y una muestra de 91 clientes. Para el estudio de la investigación, se aplicó dos cuestionarios, la primera variable con 20 ítems y la segunda con 16 ítems, las cuales reflejaron un coeficiente de Cronbach de 0,977 y 0,989, respectivamente. Los resultados dejaron entrever una significancia bilateral de 0,000 (p <0,05) y un coeficiente de Pearson de 0,972 por lo que se afirma que existe una correlación significativa entre las variables marketing sostenible y posicionamiento

Diseño de una herramienta de consulta de manejo de Citostáticos para la Clínica San Diego en Bogotá.

Link video herramienta de consulta: https://youtu.be/ZOFF9qOvdDgEn las últimas décadas la creación de nuevos medicamentos antineoplásicos, entre ellos los citostáticos, ha mejorado las expectativas de supervivencia y calidad de vida de los pacientes con enfermedad neoplásica. Sin embargo, muchos de estos fármacos han demostrado ser cancerígenos, mutagénicos y teratógenos (agente que produce efecto congénito); es decir, han sido implicados en la aparición de neoplasias secundarias y muchos de ellos causan daño local en el epitelio cutáneo y membranas mucosas debido a su acción irritante para el personal de salud. Debido al riesgo en el uso de estos medicamentos, la poca formación técnica y la alta rotación del personal que labora en la sala de quimioterapia, se busca diseñar una herramienta informática de consulta con la información pertinente a los medicamentos citostáticos que se emplean en la clínica, elementos de bioseguridad, administración, efectos secundarios, cuidados de extravasación, que permita facilitar a la Enfermera Jefe Coordinadora y las Enfermeras Jefes del servicio la capacitación a los auxiliares de enfermería en el manejo de estos medicamentos, y un apoyo adicional de consulta a los auxiliares enfermeros para reducir los riesgos de contaminación y dar a los pacientes la atención adecuada y oportuna.In recent decades, the creation of new antineoplastic drugs, including cytostatics, has improved the survival and quality of life expectations of patients with neoplastic disease. However, many of these drugs have proven to be carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic; that is, they have been implicated in the occurrence of secondary malignancies and many of them cause local damage to the skin epithelium and mucous membranes due to their irritating, blistering or allergic action. Due to the risk in the use of these drugs, the little technical training and the high turnover of the staff that works in the chemotherapy room, it is sought to design a computer consultation tool with the information pertinent to the cytostatic drugs that are used in the clinic. , elements of biosafety, administration, secondary effects, extravasation care, which allow the Coordinating Head Nurse and the Head Nurses of the service to facilitate the training of nursing assistants in the management of these medications, and additional support for consultation with the nursing assistants to reduce the risks of contamination and give patients adequate and timely care

Estudio del tiempo desencofrado en vigas de concreto f’c=210 kg/cm2 con aditivo acelerante, Lima-2019

En la presente investigación, tuvo como objetivo general evaluar el tiempo de desencofrado en vigas de concreto f´c=210 kg/cm2 con la incorporación del aditivo acelerante, basándose en la resistencia a la compresión y aplicando el método de la madurez. Se evalúa la correlación que existe entre la madurez del concreto y la resistencia a la compresión mediante la generación de la curva de madurez según la norma ASTM C1074, esta madurez se adquiere mediante la temperatura que se registra por el calor exotérmico del concreto con respecto al tiempo. Los agregados fueron extraídos de la cantera San Martín, con lo cual se determinó los diseños de mezclas para un concreto f´c=210 kg/cm2; el diseño de mezcla patrón y los otros dos adicionando 1 % y 1.5% de aditivo acelerante Sika Rapid-1, calculados con respecto al peso del cemento. Se elaboró y curo 51 probetas cilíndricas para cada tipo de dosificación, basándose en la norma ASTM C 192, se insertó los sensores de temperatura (madurimetro) a 2 probetas para cada tipo de dosificaciones, en concordancia con la norma ASTM C1074. Juntamente se realizó el ensayo del tiempo de fraguado para comparar el tiempo inicial y final en que reduce cada dosificación debido a la adición del aditivo acelerante. Fueron sometidas al ensayo de compresión 15 probetas por cada dosificación a las edades de 1, 3, 7, 14 y 28 días, según la norma ASTM C 39, periódicamente se extrae el registro de temperatura en Excel mediante el software COMMAND CENTER 2.0, gracias a los madurimetros. Con los resultados de los días de rotura y su índice de madurez registrada, se generan las curvas de madurez. Además, se realizó tres prototipos de vigas, donde la viga patrón, la viga patrón adicionando al 1% de aditivo acelerante y la viga adicionada con 1.5 % de aditivo; en las cuales se insertaron dos madurimetros en cada una de ellas para su registro de madurez; en base a la resistencia establecida en nuestras curvas de madurez inicial, se espera que llegue a su madurez para desencofrarla

Interactive Spaced Online Education in Pediatric Trauma

Pediatric resident trauma education is suboptimal due to lack of a curriculum and limited trauma experience and education resources. The objective of the study was to test knowledge retention and acceptability of interactive spaced education (ISE) in pediatric trauma. Prospective, randomized trial involving 40 physicians in a pediatric emergency department was used. Instrument was comprised of 48 multiple-choice questions (evaluative component) and answer critiques (educational component) on pediatric trauma divided into two modules. The instrument was assessed for test–retest reliability, item difficulty, and construct validity. Intervention consisted of online administration of each module as eight spaced emails (3 questions each) over a course of 4 weeks and was repeated after 2 and 4 months. Participants received an answer critique on committing to an answer. Primary outcome was difference in mean percentage of correct answers at 2 and 4 months versus baseline. Paired t test and effect size (d) were performed. Secondary outcome was exit-survey of ISE acceptability. There was significant improvement at 2 months (8.0, 95% confidence intervel [CI] = [3.6, 12.5], d = 0.75), but improvement at 4 months (1.6, 95% CI = [−4.5, 7.7], d = 0.18) was not significant. Sixty percent would retake and recommend ISE to others. Interactive, spaced education improves knowledge in pediatric trauma and is well accepted. Studies are required to determine the optimal spacing interval for this form of education

Where are the most vulnerable areas to climate induced insecurities and risks in Zimbabwe?

This factsheet gives answers on how climate exacerbates root causes of conflict in Zimbabwe, using spatial hotspot analysis. The findings show that the high/moderate conflict and harsh climate interactions co-occurred principally with low productivity, inequality, and undernutrition hotspots. This occurs in the following districts: Beitbridge, Chiredzi, Mwenezi, and Chipinge. This publication is part of a factsheet series reporting on the findings of the CGIAR FOCUS Climate Security Observatory work in Africa (Kenya, Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudan, Uganda, Zimbabwe).
