El primer capítulo está compuesto por un estado del arte en base a artículos científicos que se encuentran en un periodo de 5 años antes, además, cuenta con un marco teórico con temas relacionados a las MYPES en el Perú, asociatividad, gestión por procesos, productividad, y seguridad y salud ocupacional. En el segundo capítulo, se efectúa un diagnóstico de la situación actual de las MYPES productoras de palta hass, en donde se identificaron distintos problemas que originan una baja productividad en la producción de la palta hass. En el tercer capítulo, se plantea un diseño de un sistema de gestión de seguridad y salud ocupacional basada en la gestión por procesos, con la finalidad de fomentar una cultura de preventiva, la cual reduce los riesgos y mejora la productividad en el sector agrícola de palta Hass. En el capítulo cuatro, se presenta la validación tanto de los expertos como de los agricultores, con la finalidad de obtener recomendaciones y poder mejorar el diseño del proceso que se propone. Por último, en el capítulo 5 se presenta las conclusiones, recomendaciones y las futuras líneas de investigación acerca del modelo propuesto.This research project contains a design of an Occupational Health and Safety Management process based on ISO 45001, proposed for the MYPES producing Hass avocado, with the objective of reducing the risks present in their activities, which is a relevant problem due to the accidents and common diseases they present.

WCAM: secured video surveillance with digital rights management

The WCAM project aims to provide an integrated system for secure delivery of video surveillance data over a wireless network, while remaining scalable and robust to transmission errors. To achieve these goals., the content is encoded in Motion-JPEG2000 and streamed with a specific RTP protocol encapsulation to prevent the loss of packets containing the most essential data. Protection of the video data is performed at content level using the standardized JPSEC syntax along with flexible encryption of quality layers or resolution levels. This selective encryption respects the JPEG2000 structure of the stream, not only ensuring end-to-end ciphered delivery, but also enabling dynamic content adaptation within the wireless network (quality of service, adaptation to the user's terminal). A DRM (Digital Rights Management) solution, called OpenSDRM is added to manage all authenticated peers on the WLAN (from end-users to cameras), as well as to manage the rights to access and display conditionally the video data. This whole integrated architecture addresses several security problems such as data encryption, integrity, access control and rights management. Using several protection lavers, the level of confidentiality can depend both on content characteristics and user rights, thus also addressing the critical issue of privacy.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

VLT/NACO adaptive optics imaging of the TY CrA system - A fourth stellar component candidate detected

We report the detection of a possible subsolar mass companion to the triple young system TY CrA using the NACO instrument at the VLT UT4 during its commissioning. Assuming for TY CrA a distance similar to that of the close binary system HD 176386, the photometric spectral type of this fourth stellar component candidate is consistent with an ~M4 star. We discuss the dynamical stability of this possible quadruple system as well as the possible location of dusty particles inside or outside the system.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures postscrip

Role of environmental factors for the vertical distribution (0–1000 m) of marine bacterial communities in the NW Mediterranean Sea

Bacterioplankton plays a central role in energy and matter fluxes in the sea, yet the factors that constrain its variation in marine systems are still poorly understood. Here we use the explanatory power of direct multivariate gradient analysis to evaluate the driving forces exerted by environmental parameters on bacterial community distribution in the water column. We gathered and analysed data from a one month sampling period from the surface to 1000 m depth at the JGOFS-DYFAMED station (NW Mediterranean Sea). This station is characterized by very poor horizontal advection currents which makes it an ideal model to test hypotheses on the causes of vertical stratification of bacterial communities. Capillary electrophoresis single strand conformation polymorphism (CE-SSCP) fingerprinting profiles analyzed using multivariate statistical methods demonstrated a vertical zonation of bacterial assemblages in three layers, above, in or just below the chlorophyll maximum and deeper, that remained stable during the entire sampling period. Through the use of direct gradient multivariate ordination analyses we demonstrate that a complex array of biogeochemical parameters is the driving force behind bacterial community structure shifts in the water column. Physico-chemical parameters such as phosphate, nitrate, salinity and to a lesser extent temperature, oxygen, dissolved organic carbon and photosynthetically active radiation acted in synergy to explain bacterial assemblages changes with depth. Analysis of lipid biomarkers of organic matter sources and fates suggested that bacterial community structure in the surface layers was in part explained by lipids of chloroplast origin. Further detailed analysis of pigment-based phytoplankton diversity gave evidence of a compartmentalized influence of several phytoplankton groups on bacterial community structure in the first 150 m depth

LP 349-25: a new tight M8V binary

We present the discovery of a tight M8V binary, with a separation of only 1.2 astronomical units, obtained with the PUEO and NACO adaptive optics systems, respectively at the CFHT and VLT telescopes. The estimated period of LP 349-25 is approximately 5 years, and this makes it an excellent candidate for a precise mass measurement.Comment: Accepted by Astronomy and Astrophysics Letter
