Desarrollo del Plan de Dirección de un Proyecto de rehabilitación y renovación de dos edificios adyacentes de 1.570 m2 para uso combinado: residencial y administrativo

El objetivo del Trabajo Fin de Máster será realizar el Plan de Dirección de un Proyecto de construcción, siguiendo lo establecido en la Guía de los Fundamentos para la Dirección del Proyectos (Guía PMBOK 5ª Edición) del PMI (Project Management Institute).Esta Guía es un documento formal que describe normas, métodos, procesos y prácticas establecidas para servir de guía para la profesión de la Dirección de Proyectos (DP). En ella se identifican 47 procesos de la dirección de proyectos que se agrupan en cinco Grupos de Procesos de la DP, que son: grupos de procesos de Inicio, Planificación, Ejecución, Monitoreo y Control y Cierre. Además, los 47 procesos se agrupan en 10 Áreas de Conocimiento. Un Área de Conocimiento representa un conjunto completo de conceptos, términos y actividades que conforman un ámbito de la DP.El presente TFM va a centrarse en los procesos de Inicio, que comprende los procesos: Generación del Acta de Constitución del Proyecto y Registro de los Interesados y en la Generación del Plan de Dirección del Proyecto. Este plan es el documento que describe el modo en que el proyecto será ejecutado, monitoreado y controlado. Integra y consolida todos los planes secundarios de los procesos de Planificación que son: el Plan de gestión del alcance, Plan de gestión de los requisitos, Plan de gestión del cronograma, Plan de gestión de los costos, Plan de gestión de los interesados, Plan de gestión de la calidad, Plan de mejoras del proceso, Plan de gestión de los recursos humanos, Plan de gestión de las comunicaciones, Plan de gestión de los riesgos, Plan de gestión de las adquisiciones. El Plan se aplicará a un proyecto de rehabilitación y renovación de dos edificios adyacentes de 1.570m2 que constituyen el establecimiento residencial para los padres de los niños ingresados en el hospital vecino y el establecimiento administrativo para la gestión del hospital.Paquet, M.

Physiological predictors of reproductive performance in the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris)

Abstract Background It is widely assumed that variation in fitness components has a physiological basis that might underlie selection on trade-offs, but the mechanisms driving decreased survival and future fecundity remain elusive. Here, we assessed whether physiological variables are related to workload ability or immediate fitness consequences and if they mediate future survival or reproductive success. We used data on 13 physiological variables measured in 93 female European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) at two breeding stages (incubation, chick-rearing), for first-and second-broods over two years (152 observations). Results There was little co-variation among the physiological variables, either in incubating or chick-rearing birds, but some systematic physiological differences between the two stages. Chick-rearing birds had lower hematocrit and plasma creatine kinase but higher hemoglobin, triglyceride and uric acid levels. Only plasma corticosterone was repeatable between incubation and chick-rearing. We assessed relationships between incubation or chick-rearing physiology and measures of workload, current productivity, future fecundity or survival in a univariate manner, and found very few significant relationships. Thus, we next explored the utility of multivariate analysis (principal components analysis, Mahalanobis distance) to account for potentially complex physiological integration, but still found no clear associations. Conclusions This implies either that a) birds maintained physiological variables within a homeostatic range that did not affect their performance, b) there are relatively few links between physiology and performance, or, more likely, c) that the complexity of these relationships exceeds our ability to measure it. Variability in ecological context may complicate the relationship between physiology and behavior. We thus urge caution regarding the over-interpretation of isolated significant findings, based on single traits in single years, in the literature
