El arte comunitario: origen y evolución de las prácticas artísticas colaborativas

This article revises the meaning of the term community art, coined in the 1970s to describe a series of artistic practices that involved public collaboration and participation in an attempt to reach social improvement through art. It is described in the context of the 70s, and the social and artistic philosophies that it is based on. Particularly two: the importance of the social context of the piece and the involvement of the viewer. Community art evolves towards institutional and educational areas in the following years and becomes a point of reference for contemporary public art. To conclude the main problematic associated to collaborative artistic practices are described.Este artículo revisa el significado de la expresión arte comunitario, surgida en los años 70, principalmente en EEUU y Gran Bretaña, para describir unas prácticas artísticas que implican la colaboración y participación del público en la obra y un intento de alcanzar una mejora social a través del arte. Se describe el contexto y las ideas artísticas y sociales que le sirven de base, en concreto dos: la importancia del contexto social de la obra y de la implicación del espectador. El arte comunitario evoluciona hacia ámbitos institucionales y educativos en los años posteriores y se convierte también en una referencia para el arte público contemporáneo. Finalmente se describen las principales problemáticas asociadas a las prácticas artísticas colaborativas

Pedro de León Portocarrero and his brief description of the kingdom of Chile

En 1914 se supo de la existencia de una crónica inédita sobre el virreinato del Perú. Aquella pieza documental, conservada en los anaqueles de la Biblioteca Nacional de Francia, contenía una breve descripción del reino de Chile que, por ser poco conocida, ahora reproducimos íntegramente y se analizará sobre la base de nuevos aportes que ahora se conocen de su autor y su interés en describir estas latitudes.In 1914, the existence of an unknown chronicle about the viceroyalty of Peru came to light. This document, kept in the shelves of the National Library of France, presents a brief description of the kingdom of Chile that, since it is quite unique, we reproduce and analyze now according to new contributions about its author and its interest in these parts

Calidad educativa: un análisis sobre la acomodación de los sistemas de gestión de la calidad empresarial a la valoración en educación

This paper presents a discussion that deals with the implement ation of the management business systems that have been used for the implementation of the company�s total quality which nowit has implemented the quality of education. In this article is presented the main management system ISO 9001, which has regulated the majority of the business processes around the word. In this article is presented the inconveni ence of implementing these systems to education as well, based on the experience which has been with MECI system that was implemented in Colombia, it has been found that it has been inconvenient in the implementation of the business processes to educational processes.Este artículo presenta una discusión que aborda la implementación de los sistemas de gestión empresarial que se han usado durante la puesta en marcha de la calidad total de las empresas y que ahora se han impuesto a la calidad de la educación. Se presenta en este articulo el sistema principal de gestión ISO 9001, que ha regulado la de la mayoría de los procesos empresariales, y se muestra en la inconveniencia de la implementación de estos sistemas a la educación, ya que basados en la experiencia del sistema MECI que se implementó en Colombia, se ha descubierto que es inconveniente la acomodación de los procesos empresariales a los procesos educativos

A critical assessment of the calculation and analysis of thermodynamic parameters from adsorption data

Proper analysis of thermodynamic parameters obtained from adsorption data is a basic requirement for the characterization and optimization of an adsorption-dependent process like the action of organic corrosion inhibitors. Thus, this work aims at presenting a critical assessment of typical flawed examples from the literature together with alternative good practice to be considered, for preference.Proper analysis of thermodynamic parameters obtained from adsorption data is a basic requirement for the characterization and optimization of an adsorption-dependent process like the action of organic corrosion inhibitors.

Cost-Effectiveness of a Comprehensive Approach for Hypertension Control in Low-Income Settings in Argentina: Trial-Based Analysis of the Hypertension Control Program in Argentina

Background: A recent cluster randomized trial evaluating a multicomponent intervention showed significant reductions in blood pressure in low-income hypertensive subjects in Argentina. Objectives: To assess the cost-effectiveness of this intervention. Methods: A total of 1432 hypertensive participants were recruited from 18 primary health care centers. The intervention included home visits led by community health workers, physician education, and text messaging. Resource use and quality of life data using the three-level EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire were prospectively collected. The study perspective was that of the public health care system, and the time horizon was 18 months. Intention-to-treat analysis was used to analyze cost and health outcomes (systolic blood pressure [SBP] change and quality-adjusted life-years [QALYs]). A 1 time gross domestic product per capita per QALY was used as the cost-effectiveness threshold (US $14,062). Results: Baseline characteristics were similar in the two arms. QALYs significantly increased by 0.06 (95$304 in the intervention group and US $154 in the control group (adjusted difference of US$140.18; 95% CI US $75.41–US$204.94). The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $3299 per QALY (95$26 per mm Hg of SBP (95% credible interval 13–46). Subgroup analysis showed that the intervention was cost-effective in all prespecified subgroups (age, sex, cardiovascular risk, and body mass index). Conclusions: The multicomponent intervention was cost-effective for blood pressure control among low-income hypertensive patients.Fil: Augustovski, Federico Ariel.

Extending the Limits of the Random Exploration Graph for Efficient Autonomous Exploration in Unknown Environments

The autonomous construction of environment maps using mobile robots is a fundamental problem of robotics; this is because virtually all tasks performed by robots need a representation of the working environment to operate. Although many works have addressed this problem known as SLAM, it still remains open; since most of the solutions do not consider a planner that allows the robot to explore autonomously the working environment or the works that consider it, they have developed slow algorithms that do not guarantee a total coverage of the environment or an optimal development of the exploration, which may result in maps of poor quality or definitely not usable given this lack of information. Thus, this work presents a new exploration method based on the random exploration graph (REG), which, unlike its predecessor, defines a systematic analysis of the next positions to be explored eliminating randomness in decision-making and thus minimizing the amount of movements that the robot must make to reach them and the time required to achieve total coverage of the environment. Additionally, a series of tests carried out on the proposed method are presented, and the results obtained in classical variables such as time and distance allow to validate the efficiency of our approach
