Relación del rendimiento y la deserción académica en la escuela nacional de marina mercante “Almirante Miguel Grau”, Callao - 2022

El presente trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo principal determinar la relación que existe entre el rendimiento y la deserción académica en la escuela nacional de marina mercante “Almirante Miguel Grau”, con un enfoque cuantitativo aplicado, ya que busca la solución a un problema específico, de diseño no experimental descriptivo correlacional ya que brindará capacidad al investigador de orientación y rumbo al determinado estudio, y método hipotético-inductivo, debido a que se necesitó tener probables soluciones al problema planteado. En cuanto a la cantidad de participantes, la encuesta fue aplicada a 29 cadetes de la ENAMM, conformado por los dos primeros grados de instrucción, ya que son la población con elevado porcentaje de deserción, de las cuales se tomaron en cuenta solo 21 resultados ya que 8 alumnos dejaron sus respuestas en blanco. En síntesis, al emplear el coeficiente de Rho Spearman se determinó que la hipótesis general que se planteó sobre la existencia de relación entre las variables de estudio es positiva al igual que la relación entre la variable independiente (rendimiento) y cada una de las dimensiones de la variable dependiente (deserción académica).Por último, se planteó opciones de mejora para lograr disminuir la deserción académica y a su vez que el total de postulantes ingresados alcancen la meta de egresar satisfactoriamente

Change Detection of Benthic Habitat Communities using Landsat Imageries in Wakatobi Islands from 1990 to 2017

Currently, coral reef and seagrass ecosystems in Wakatobi Islands are categorized as 'poor' because the coverage of the healthy coral is less than 50%. Therefore, detailed information about their condition through time is needed to prevent coastal degradation. Time-series analysis of Landsat images recorded in 1990, 2000, 2010, and 2017 is expected to provide information on coral reefs' habitat in Wakatobi Islands over the studied period. This study aims to determine areas that experience drastic changes in benthic habitat cover and analyze the dynamics of the changes. The image processing procedures used in this study are image correction, image classification, and applying the Change Detection Model. The image correction consists of geometric, sunglint, and water column correction, while the change detection model uses SPEAR Tools in ENVI software. The results showed a precise location that experienced a drastic change in benthic habitat cover and the changes in benthic habitat classes every ten years, which started from 1990 to 2017
