    118 pDurante la década de los anos 60 la sociedad mundial estuvo caracterizada por una fuerte polarización cultural social y política sustentada en el marco de los paradigmas político-ideológico de la época. Este panorama Bipolar del ordenamien-to global se mantendría durante todo este periodo hasta la segunda mitad de la década de los anos 80. Durante este periodo se produce un fuerte desarrollo de la Ciencia y de la técnica, sin embargo, este progresivo avance económico y tecnológico acrecentó una paulatina diferenciación de desarrollo entre las denominadas naciones del primer mundo, segundo y tercer mundo. De esta manera durante esta época se consolida una tendencia de concentración de la riqueza en las naciones del primer mundo, ubicadas en el hemisferio norte. Este proceso pasa a constituir una de las problemáticas centrales de los economistas, este hecho adquiere gran importancia en la orientación de la planificación política y económica de los países y su política de alianzas en América Latina. Se produce una transformación del pensamiento socio-político tradicional hacia una línea de ideas Estructuralistas del desarrollo económico y social. El pensamiento Estructuralista planteo coma ideas centrales la construcción de una racionalidad integradora, capaz de desarrollar procesos de planificación y ejecución en una dimensión orgánica en que se establezca en forma unitaria e interdependiente el conjunto de variables que afectan a una sociedad o problemática en particular. Las ideas estructuralistas tuvieron una fuerte influencia en los economistas, planificadores sociales y gobernantes de la época. Proceso que culmino con la incorporación de las ideas de un Planeamiento Integral como el instrumento de los proyectos reformistas iniciados en algunos países de América Latina. La planificación de procesos reformistas en materias sociales y económicas se constituían en el marco de apoyo económico y político del gobierno de los Estados Unidos a través de la denominada "Alianza para el progreso". Este planeamiento de cambio fue implementado en Chile por el gobierno del presidente Eduardo Frei Montalva el que a troves de una política de consenso social y político inicia un amplio proceso de reformas sociales y económicas, constituyendo el ámbito educacional una importante prioridad de gobierno. Los propósitos de una Reforma de la educación, se diseñaron en el marco propio de las ideas del Planeamiento Integral de la Educación para lo cual se dispuso de un amplio esfuerzo de integración de elementos de: conocimiento, culturales, económicos y políticos. Este hecho otorgo al planeamiento un enfoque de consenso y gradualidad en los propósitos de transformaciones educativas. Para dar comienzo al ámbito de estudio y preparatorio al proceso formal de Reforma, el año 1962 se crea una Comisión de Planeamiento Integral de la Educación Chilena. Esta respondía a la labor de dar inicio a las tareas sistemáticas de planeamiento cuyos objetivos centrales estaban orientados a disponer de un estudio integral de la realidad educacional, estudiar soluciones a los problemas administrativos pedagógicos y económicos que afecten a la educación otorgando soluciones y medidas especificas. Por otra parte la labor de desarrollo programático de la comisión estuvo orientada en tres direcciones principales: 1. El estudio de una nueva estructura del sistema escolar en todas sus ramas y niveles. 2. El estudio de una nueva estructura de la administración de los servicios escolares. 3. La preparación de un plan de extensión y mejoramiento de los servicios educacionales con metas cuantitativas y cualitativas

    Impacts of the Tropical Pacific/Indian Oceans on the Seasonal Cycle of the West African Monsoon

    The current consensus is that drought has developed in the Sahel during the second half of the twentieth century as a result of remote effects of oceanic anomalies amplified by local land–atmosphere interactions. This paper focuses on the impacts of oceanic anomalies upon West African climate and specifically aims to identify those from SST anomalies in the Pacific/Indian Oceans during spring and summer seasons, when they were significant. Idealized sensitivity experiments are performed with four atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs). The prescribed SST patterns used in the AGCMs are based on the leading mode of covariability between SST anomalies over the Pacific/Indian Oceans and summer rainfall over West Africa. The results show that such oceanic anomalies in the Pacific/Indian Ocean lead to a northward shift of an anomalous dry belt from the Gulf of Guinea to the Sahel as the season advances. In the Sahel, the magnitude of rainfall anomalies is comparable to that obtained by other authors using SST anomalies confined to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean. The mechanism connecting the Pacific/Indian SST anomalies with West African rainfall has a strong seasonal cycle. In spring (May and June), anomalous subsidence develops over both the Maritime Continent and the equatorial Atlantic in response to the enhanced equatorial heating. Precipitation increases over continental West Africa in association with stronger zonal convergence of moisture. In addition, precipitation decreases over the Gulf of Guinea. During the monsoon peak (July and August), the SST anomalies move westward over the equatorial Pacific and the two regions where subsidence occurred earlier in the seasons merge over West Africa. The monsoon weakens and rainfall decreases over the Sahel, especially in August.Peer reviewe

    Charged-hadron transverse-momentum and pseudorapidity distributions in proton-proton collisions at s=7\sqrt{s} = 7~TeV are measured with the inner tracking system of the CMS detector at the LHC. The charged-hadron yield is obtained by counting the number of reconstructed hits, hit-pairs, and fully reconstructed charged-particle tracks. The combination of the three methods gives a charged-particle multiplicity per unit of pseudorapidity \dnchdeta|_{|\eta| < 0.5} = 5.78\pm 0.01\stat\pm 0.23\syst for non-single-diffractive events, higher than predicted by commonly used models. The relative increase in charged-particle multiplicity from s=0.9\sqrt{s} = 0.9 to 7~TeV is 66.1\%\pm 1.0\%\stat\pm 4.2\%\syst. The mean transverse momentum is measured to be 0.545\pm 0.005\stat\pm 0.015\syst\GeVc.

    We present a measurement of the ratio of positive to negative muon fluxes from cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere, using data collected by the CMS detector both at ground level and in the underground experimental cavern at the CERN LHC. Muons were detected in the momentum range from 5 GeV/ c to 1 TeV/ c . The surface flux ratio is measured to be 1.2766±0.0032(stat.)±0.0032(syst.) , independent of the muon momentum, below 100 GeV/ c . This is the most precise measurement to date. At higher momenta the data are consistent with an increase of the charge ratio, in agreement with cosmic ray shower models and compatible with previous measurements by deep-underground experiments.We present a measurement of the ratio of positive to negative muon fluxes from cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere, using data collected by the CMS detector both at ground level and in the underground experimental cavern at the CERN LHC.

    Constraints on the spin-parity and anomalous HVV couplings of the Higgs boson in proton collisions at 7 and 8 TeV

    No full text
    The study of the spin-parity and tensor structure of the interactions of the recently discovered Higgs boson is performed using the HZZ\mathrm{H} \rightarrow \mathrm{Z} \mathrm{Z}, Zγ\mathrm{Z}\gamma^*, γγ4\gamma^*\gamma^* \rightarrow 4\ell, HWWνν\mathrm{H} \rightarrow \mathrm{W} \mathrm{W} \rightarrow \ell\nu\ell\nu, and Hγγ\mathrm{H} \rightarrow \gamma\gamma decay modes. The full dataset recorded by the CMS experiment during the LHC Run 1 is used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 5.1 fb15.1~\mathrm{fb}^{-1} at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and up to 19.7 fb119.7~\mathrm{fb}^{-1} at 8 TeV. A wide range of spin-two models is excluded at a 99% confidence level or higher, or at a 99.87% confidence level for the minimal gravity-like couplings, regardless of whether assumptions are made on the production mechanism. Any mixed-parity spin-one state is excluded in the ZZ\mathrm{ZZ} and WW\mathrm{WW } modes at a greater than 99.999% confidence level. Under the hypothesis that the resonance is a spin-zero boson, the tensor structure of the interactions of the Higgs boson with two vector bosons ZZ\mathrm{Z} \mathrm{Z}, Zγ\mathrm{Z}\gamma, γγ\gamma\gamma, and WW\mathrm{W} \mathrm{W} is investigated and limits on eleven anomalous contributions are set. Tighter constraints on anomalous HVV\mathrm{HVV} interactions are obtained by combining the HZZ\mathrm{HZZ} and HWW\mathrm{HWW} measurements. All observations are consistent with the expectations for the standard model Higgs boson with the quantum numbers JPC=0++J^{\mathrm{PC}}=0^{++}

    Search for Pair Production of Second-Generation Scalar Leptoquarks in pp Collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

    No full text
    A search for pair production of second-generation scalar leptoquarks in the final state with two muons and two jets is performed using proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 34 inverse picobarns. The number of observed events is in good agreement with the predictions from the standard model processes. An upper limit is set on the second-generation leptoquark cross section times beta^2 as a function of the leptoquark mass, and leptoquarks with masses below 394 GeV are excluded at a 95% confidence level for beta = 1, where beta is the leptoquark branching fraction into a muon and a quark. These limits are the most stringent to date

    Prompt and non-prompt J/ψ\psi production in pp collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV

    No full text
    The production of J/psi mesons is studied in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The measurement is based on a dimuon sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 314 inverse nanobarns. The J/psi differential cross section is determined, as a function of the J/psi transverse momentum, in three rapidity ranges. A fit to the decay length distribution is used to separate the prompt from the non-prompt (b hadron to J/psi) component. Integrated over J/psi transverse momentum from 6.5 to 30 GeV/c and over rapidity in the range |y| < 2.4, the measured cross sections, times the dimuon decay branching fraction, are 70.9 \pm 2.1 (stat.) \pm 3.0 (syst.) \pm 7.8(luminosity) nb for prompt J/psi mesons assuming unpolarized production and 26.0 \pm 1.4 (stat.) \pm 1.6 (syst.) \pm 2.9 (luminosity) nb for J/psi mesons from b-hadron decays.The production of J/psi mesons is studied in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC.

    Observation of Long-Range, Near-Side Angular Correlations in Proton-Proton Collisions at the LHC

    No full text
    Results on two-particle angular correlations for charged particles emitted in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 0.9, 2.36, and 7 TeV are presented, using data collected with the CMS detector over a broad range of pseudorapidity (eta) and azimuthal angle (ϕ\phi). Short-range correlations in Δη\Delta\eta, which are studied in minimum bias events, are characterized using a simple "independent cluster" parametrization in order to quantify their strength (cluster size) and their extent in η\eta (cluster decay width). Long-range azimuthal correlations are studied differentially as a function of charged particle multiplicity and particle transverse momentum using a 980 inverse nb data set at 7 TeV. In high multiplicity events, a pronounced structure emerges in the two-dimensional correlation function for particle pairs with intermediate transverse momentum of 1-3 GeV/c, 2.0 < |Δη\Delta\eta| < 4.8 and Δϕ0\Delta\phi \approx 0. This is the first observation of such a long-range, near-side feature in two-particle correlation functions in pppp or ppp\overline{p} collisions.Results on two-particle angular correlations for charged particles emitted in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 0.9, 2.36, and 7 TeV are presented, using data collected with the CMS detector over a broad range of pseudorapidity (eta) and azimuthal angle (phi).

    Measurements of inclusive W and Z cross sections in pp collisions at s =\sqrt{s}\ = 7 TeV

    No full text
    Measurements of inclusive W and Z boson production cross sections in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV are presented, based on 2.9 inverse picobarns of data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurements, performed in the electron and muon decay channels, are combined to give sigma(pp to WX) times B(W to muon or electron + neutrino) = 9.95 \pm 0.07(stat.) \pm 0.28(syst.) \pm 1.09(lumi.) nb and sigma(pp to ZX) times B(Z to oppositely charged muon or electron pairs) = 0.931 \pm 0.026(stat.) \pm 0.023(syst.) \pm 0.102(lumi.) nb. Theoretical predictions, calculated at the next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD using recent parton distribution functions, are in agreement with the measured cross sections. Ratios of cross sections, which incur an experimental systematic uncertainty of less than 4%, are also reported
