Implementación metodología para disminuir accidentes laborales en el proyecto Mr. Centro-Sur. Caso de estudio Empresa Hydriapac S.A.

Este documento contiene archivo en PDF.El presente trabajo de investigación, nos ayudará a determinar las causas básicas que influyen en la materialización de los accidentes dentro de cualquier empresa industrial o de servicio ya que con este análisis nos permite establecer medidas de control correctivas y preventivas adecuadas que ayuden a evitar la repetitividad de los mismos, es por ello que utilizando una metodología clara y sencilla como la de Frank Bird llamada modelo de causalidad ayudó a identificar cuales fueron estas causas, que se obtuvieron de los resultados del análisis de los accidentes de los últimos tres años ocurridos en el Proyecto MR Centro-Sur de la empresa HYDRIAPAC S.A., habiendo factores personales y factores de trabajo en común entre ellos siendo éstos de mayor relevancia para especificar las medidas apropiadas para su control. Luego de analizar los resultados obtenidos, se ve reflejado que hay exceso de confianza de los trabajadores al realizar sus actividades, capacitaciones y/o entrenamientos deficientes, presión por parte del Supervisor o Residentes para concluir todas las órdenes de trabajo encomendadas en el día; en factores del trabajo se muestra que los colaboradores trabajan con herramientas defectuosas porque la empresa prolonga la vida útil de las mismas, también se ve demostrado que los Residentes o Supervisores de Cuadrilla no tienen capacitaciones en temas de supervisión, liderazgo y trabajo en equipo.The present research will help us determine the causes basic influencing the materialization of accidents within any industrial company or service as with this analysis allows us to establish measures corrective and preventive appropriate control to help avoid repetitiveness thereof, which it is why using a clear and simple methodology as Frank Bird called causality model helped identify what were these causes, which they were obtained from the results of the analysis of accidents in the past three years occurred in the MR Center-South Project Company HYDRIAPAC S.A, having personal factors and factors working together including these being more relevant to specify the appropriate control measures. After analysis the results it was reflect that there is overconfidence of workers to carry out their activities, training and / or poor training or pressure by the Supervisor or Residents to complete all assigned work orders on the day; in labor factors shows that employees work with defective tools because the company extends the life of them, it is also shown that Residents or Supervisor don’t have training on supervision theme, leadership and teamwork

A fitting procedure for probability density functions of service restoration times. Application to underground cables in medium-voltage networks

Distribution companies have the responsibility to provide a quality service to their customers, according to the existing regulation. Reliability issues, such as power outages, are registered in databases for a quantitative evaluation of this quality. This paper uses one of these historical records to make a statistical analysis of service restoration times, applied to the particular case of underground cables in medium voltage networks. An algo-rithm is proposed to fit the raw data to the probability density functions typically used in reliability analysis. The best-fitted distribution is determined in each case according to the information provided by a set of goodness-of -fit tests. Different groups are considered for the elements of the systems, concerning their functionality and voltage level. The presented procedure is applied to an electrical network with more than 350 feeders. Results have been obtained globally, showing that the observed service restoration time is lower than the estimated maximum limit in 98.00% of cases. The probability functions provided by the proposed algorithm can be used to improve the accuracy of the reliability models for the electric power system.8 página

Identification of the phase connectivity in distribution systems through constrained least squares and confidence-based sequential assignment

This paper addresses the customer-phase identification problem in three-phase distribution grids including three-phase customers characterized by aggregated energy measurements. The proposed technique first solves a relaxed problem, in which the binary nature of the variables is ignored, which leads to a constrained, least-squares estimation, using as inputs the active and reactive energy readings provided by the smart meters, along with the energy delivered by each phase at the head of the feeder. With the estimated values of the decision variables, and their corresponding variances, a confidence-based selection technique is then applied for the sequential assignment of the customer with the highest joint probability of being connected to one of the three phases but not to the other two. The performance of the proposed procedure is assessed with five different scenarios in terms of accuracy for increasing number of loads and measurement errors. The robustness of the algorithm is additionally tested in the presence of model errors, and its performance is compared to that of existing methods.Project Solar to Vehicle (S2V) INV-3-2021-I-038Research project HySGrid+ CER-2019101

Nuevas técnicas metodologías para el fomento de habilidades transversales y transferencia del conocimiento en universitarios

Knowledge transference and its business potential are very much related to founders’ skills, and especially to the development of their transversal skills. Unfortunately, the time needid to achieve these skills spontaneously penalizes their possibilities. The implementation of pilot experiences in application of agile innovation methodologies such as "Lean Startup" and "Scrum" to real business projects during their incubation and acceleration process at the University of Seville has thrown interesting data about the best work dynamics during the process, with measurements of productivity, the "momentum" of the project, its "focus abilities" or qualitative assessments of those involved in the study. The results reveal a series of advantages and disadvantages derived from the application of these methodologies, which exert influence both on the individual performance and on the group of founders, that in general have turned out to be positive, since they allow to accelerate the maturation process to achieve the skills needed to increase survival ratios, or to conclude that it is not a viable project by making use of significantly less time and resources.La transferencia del conocimiento y su potencial empresarial están muy relacionadas con la capacidad del equipo promotor, y especialmente con el desarrollo de habilidades transversales. Por desgracia, el tiempo necesario para lograr estas habilidades de forma espontánea penaliza sus posibilidades. La puesta en marcha de experiencias piloto de aplicación de metodologías ágiles de innovación como “Lean Startup” y “Scrum” a proyectos empresariales reales durante su proceso de incubación y aceleración en la Universidad de Sevilla ha permitido obtener datos interesantes acerca de la dinámica de trabajo individual y grupal registrada durante el proceso, con mediciones de la productividad, el “nivel de inercia” del proyecto, su “capacidad de foco” o valoraciones cualitativas de los implicados en el estudio. Los resultados descubren una serie de ventajas e inconvenientes derivados de la aplicación de estas metodologías, que ejercen influencia tanto en el desempeño individual como del conjunto de fundadores del proyecto, y en líneas generales han resultado ser positivos, ya que permiten acelerar el proceso de maduración personal hacia la consecución de las habilidades necesarias para incrementar la supervivencia del proyecto, o bien para concluir que no es viable haciendo uso de una cantidad significativamente inferior de tiempo y recursos

E-Learning through an Adaptive cMOOC: Is it Worthyof Further Research?

This paper describes the types of MOOC considered by researchers, and highlights the latter's focus on Connectivist MOOC. In addition, it analyses MOOC methodologies, and learners' interest in MOOC based on the concepts of adaptability, connectivism, and socio-constructivism. This is to address the high dropout rate issue on MOOC platforms. The main objective of this work is to review the empirical results reported in these studies. To reach this goal, a Systematic Literature Review of 798 papers was carried out from 2013 until April 2021, where 446 papers were selected as primary studies. The results obtained from the classification and the analysis of the collected data confirmed the importance of continuing research in the field. Based on the concepts of socio-constructivism and adaptability, the objective is to provide an adaptive cMOOC for the profile and the needs of each learner; blending learning styles and pedagogical models with machine learning technologies

Augmented reality mobile app development for all

Lack of programming skills is a barrier to the engagement of teachers in the development and customisation of their own applications. Visual Environment for Designing Interactive Learning Scenarios (VEDILS), a visual tool for designing, customising and deploying learning technologies, provides teachers with a development environment with a low entry threshold. Current mobile devices are equipped with sensors and have sufficient processing power to use augmented reality technologies. Despite the heavy use of mobile devices in students’ lives, the use of augmented reality mobile applications as learning tools is not widespread among teachers. The current work presents a framework comprising the development tool and a method for designing and deploying learning activities. It focuses on the augmented reality components of the authoring tools, which allow users to create their own mobile augmented reality learning apps. It also present the results of the evaluation of the framework with 47 third-level educators, and two case studies of classroom implementations of mobile augmented reality apps developed by these educators. The results illustrate the suitability of the framework and authoring tool for supporting users without programming skills in developing their own apps

Nanostructured Ti thin films by magnetron sputtering at oblique angles

The growth of Ti thin films by the magnetron sputtering technique at oblique angles and at room temperature is analysed from both experimental and theoretical points of view. Unlike other materials deposited in similar conditions, the nanostructure development of the Ti layers exhibits an anomalous behaviour when varying both the angle of incidence of the deposition flux and the deposition pressure. At low pressures, a sharp transition from compact to isolated, vertically aligned, nanocolumns is obtained when the angle of incidence surpasses a critical threshold. Remarkably, this transition also occurs when solely increasing the deposition pressure under certain conditions. By the characterization of the Ti layers, the realization of fundamental experiments and the use of a simple growth model, we demonstrate that surface mobilization processes associated to a highly directed momentum distribution and the relatively high kinetic energy of sputtered atoms are responsible for this behaviourJunta de Andalucía P12-FQM- 2265Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación CSD2008- 00023, MAT2013-42900-P, MAT2013-40852-R, MAT2014-59772-C2-1, MAT2011- 2908
