The Business Intelligence and Its Influence on Decision Making

Nowadays, organizations seek to be within the framework of the fourth industrial revolution and build the competitive pillars of today's business based on a different value proposition that satisfies customer needs based on business intelligence. The purpose of this paper is to share an author's review based on diverse points of view whose convergence focuses on the importance of internal and external data collection, which after an evaluation and validation process, becomes specialized information that is integrated as knowledge and influence in decision making

Organization and Society: Understanding Corporate Social Responsibility and The Inclusive Business in The Peruvian Business Environment

The concepts and terminologies that link the efforts of companies and society for poverty reduction are increasingly numerous and lend themselves to confusion, both conceptually and in their practical business applications. Terms such as inclusive innovation, inclusive business, corporate social responsibility, sustainability, and third sector-social enterprise, all, in essence, have some link between the vision of a business and its contribution to society through its management model. But in practice, that linkage does not mean that they have the same approach and objective. The abundance of terms makes it difficult to create more dynamic progress toward the common goals established by the United Nations at the World Economic Forum in Davos (1999). These goals emphasize the relevance of collaborative contributions from the business sector for the preservation of social values and global economic progress, as well as sustainable global development. In this work, our objective is to clarify two concepts of business management—corporate social responsibility and inclusive business—in the Peruvian Business Environment. This research is intended to generate clarity for future research that seeks to strengthen the link between business and society in Peru. We present, as an introductory framework, a brief review of scenarios related to world poverty, and, poverty in Peru

Investigation of metallic iron for water defluoridation

A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master’s in Environmental Science and Engineering of the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and TechnologyFluorosis is a significant ailment that affects millions of humans and animals, especially in low income countries. It has been the focus of past and present scientific endeavours to research and develop efficient and deployable technologies, especially in these low-income communities. In this work, metallic Iron (Fe0 ) is a promising technology, and its filters have successfully addressed both safe drinking water and sanitation and are frugal. The recalled science of Fe0 filters is demonstrated with the lingering design investigations. This study aimed at the critical assessment on defluoridation efficiencies under conventional metallic iron aqueous systems; where at first, Fe0 materials were characterized with 1,10 Phenanthroline (Phen) in aqueous condition, and later batch studies were realized at the laboratory scale for two days under varied experimental conditions of: (a) 0.1 g and 1.0 g of iron mass, (b) Equimolar contamination, 23±2.0 mg/L, of co-solutes, i.e. NO3, PO4, SO4, HCO3, Cl, (c) Initial pH values of 4.5, 7.0 and 9.5, and (d) Disturbed and non-disturbed treatments. Characterization results proved the potential of 1,10-Phenanthroline as a sole Fe0 novel and facile characterization method. Defluoridation results revealed a maximum of 94% and 47% for quantitative (involving co precipitation, adsorption and occasionally size-exclusion remediations) and non-quantitative (associated with adsorption as major remediation means) fluoride removal efficiencies, respectively. Thus, a conventional metallic iron aqueous system requires incorporating suggested nano-scale practices towards enhancing efficiency for affordable defluoridation achievements in future continuous system designs

Anthelmintic Activity of Ocimum sanctum Linn. Leaves Ethanol Extract Against Fasciola gigantica in vitro

The aims of this research are to know the concentration, exposure time and interaction between concentration and exposure time of Ocimum sanctum Linn. leaves ethanol extract which cause the most mortality toward Fasciola gigantica. Also to know its value of LC50 and LC90. The research was completely randomized design. There were five treatments. Each treatment was done in four replications and used 10 Fasciola gigantica. The observation and recording of dead Fasciola gigantica were done at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours. Fasciola gigantica were declared dead if there was no movement when disturbed by anatomy tweezers and when dipped in slightly warm water (50ºC). The obtained data was analyzed using ANOVA Factorial and continued with Duncan Multiple Range Test. The result was 10% concentration and exposure time for 10 hours caused the most mortality toward Fasciola gigantica. However, the interaction between concentration and exposure time resulted that 5% concentration for 8 hours already caused the most mortality of Fasciola gigantica. Probit analysis was used to calculate the LC50 and LC90. The results were LC50 of Ocimum sanctum Linn. leaves ethanol extract was 7.9% at 4 hours, 3.7% at 6 hours, 1.8% at 8 hours and 0.8% at 10 hours and the LC90 was 8.4% at 10 hours. Key words: Ocimum sanctum Linn. leaves, Fasciola gigantica, ethanol extract, in vitro

Inmunidad parlamentaria y corrupción en el Perú: Teoría del caso Carlos Raffo Arce

La corrupción en el Perú se originó al mismo tiempo en que se declara su independencia, al pasar los años se ha ido incrementando de manera considerable que ha llegado a ser el principal problema de nuestro país, el cual ha impedido nuestro desarrollo como país. El mayor caso de corrupción en nuestro país ocurrió entre los años 1990 y 2000 durante el gobierno del ex presidente Alberto Fujimori y el ex asesor presidencial Vladimiro Montesinos Torres, dichos actos de corrupción fueron revelados en los “Vladi videos”, en los cuales podíamos identificar a muchos políticos, gerentes de empresas privadas y funcionarios públicos recibir dinero de parte de Vladimiro Montesinos Torres en la sala del SIN (Servicio Nacional de Inteligentica) con la finalidad de favorecer y/o convencer a los antes mencionado que colaboren con el gobierno. El ex congresista Carlos Raffo Arce también habría recibido dinero por parte del ex asesor presidencial, mediante una persona que era la señora María Angélica Arce, quien le llego a otorgar cuantiosas sumas de dinero como “pago” de los servicios del ex congresista que en ese tiempo se desempeñaba como publicista del gobierno de turno, sus funciones eran: Organizar comerciales y documentales que encubran los actos de corrupción del gobierno, además de realizar un documental de la hermandad Peruano Ecuatoriana posterior a la firma del acuerdo de paz que puso fin a la guerra del Alto Cenepa, por el cual se le otorgo cuantiosas sumas de dinero que triplicaban el costo del servicio realizado. Es por ello que el presente trabajo de investigación busca demostrar cómo se llevó a cabo el proceso contra el ex congresista Carlos Raffo Arce y como habría sido blindado por la Comisión Permanente y por el gobierno de turno, al no levantarle la Inmunidad Parlamentaria para ser procesado de acuerdo a ley

Organic Coffee Supply Chain Source Process Integration: A Peruvian Case

This paper analyzes the Supply Chain (SC) of the Coffee Industry, for organic production and develops the relationship between Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Supply Chain Integration (SCI) with the performance of Cooperatives and Coffee Associations in Junin Region, Peru. It also analyzes the current scenario of the Coffee Sector and the participation of the SC in the processing and distribution of Organic Coffee in Junn, Peru. A diagnosis process was made in the certified organizations belonging to the market, through results obtained from surveys and interviews that were applied in the sample space; this diagnosis indicated that they do not have a correct flow of information and materials, and evidenced the low level of interactions between the members; all this related to the SC. The final objective of this research is to improve the competitiveness of the organizations through the increase in the performance of the SC, for which a model of Integration appropriate to reality is propose
