Políticas de fomento y la competitividad de las micro y pequeñas empresas del sector industria del mueble, Puno 2015

El presente trabajo de investigación titulado “POLÍTICAS DE FOMENTO Y LA COMPETITIVIDAD DE LAS MICRO Y PEQUEÑAS EMPRESAS DEL SECTOR INDUSTRIA DEL MUEBLE, PUNO 2015", es una investigación cuantitativa de diseño no experimental y transeccional descriptivo, tiene como objetivo “evaluar la contribución de las políticas de fomento en la competitividad de las Micro y Pequeñas Empresas del sector industria del mueble de la ciudad de Puno”. Realizado por parte del Estado por medio de diferentes Instituciones existentes en la Región. La hipótesis que se plantea es que: Las políticas de fomento contribuye en la competitividad de las Micro y Pequeñas Empresas del sector industria del mueble de la ciudad de Puno En la ejecución del presente trabajo de investigación se aplicó la técnica de una encuesta estructurada, complementado con la entrevistas no estructurada a los Gerentes o Administradores de las MyPEs del sector industria del mueble de nuestra ciudad de Puno, para obtener información que permita realizar la prueba no paramétrica a la hipótesis propuesta. Para realizar este trabajo de investigación se consideró una muestra de 05 personas que laboran y tienen relación directa en la gestión de MyPES industriales; se utilizó el muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia o mecánica de la unidad de análisis. Los resultados a los que se arribó al término de la investigación Sobre la evaluación de la contribución de las políticas de fomento en la competitividad de las Micro y Pequeñas Empresas del sector industria del mueble de la Ciudad de Puno. Se determinó que la contribución es mínima, por lo tanto no contribuye directamente en la competitividad empresarial. Es así que la permanencia en el mercado de las organizaciones se debe al esfuerzo individual y colectivo del talento humano que conforma una determinada empresa. Se sugirió que si esperamos una verdadera contribución de las políticas de fomento en la competitividad de las Micro y Pequeñas Empresas del sector industria del mueble de la ciudad de Puno. Lo que se debería de implementar con urgencia es el cambio del ente rector, en la medida que, solo se puede liberar de las ataduras de cuestión laboral y tributaria. El Ministerio de Trabajo y Promoción del Empleo no garantiza un trabajo integral; por lo tanto, la rectoría debe ser desempeñada por el Ministerio de la Producción como ente rector específico, que mediante las Direcciones Regionales de la Producción tranquilamente puede cumplir con dar apoyo sistémico a las MyPEs existentes y por existirTesi

Arguing with behavior influence: A model for web-based group decision support systems

In this work, we propose an argumentation-based dialogue model designed for Web-based Group Decision Support Systems, that considers the decision-makers' intentions. The intentions are modeled as behavior styles which allow agents to interact with each other as humans would in face-to-face meetings. In addition, we propose a set of arguments that can be used by the agents to perform and evaluate requests, while considering the agents' behavior style. The inclusion of decision-makers' intentions intends to create a more reliable and realistic process. Our model proved, in different contexts, that higher levels of consensus and satisfaction are achieved when using agents modeled with behavior styles compared to agents without any features to represent the decision-makers' intentions.- (undefined

Representing decision-makers using styles of behavior: an approach designed for group decision support systems

Supporting decision-making processes when the elements of a group are geographically dispersed and on a tight schedule is a complex task. Aiming to support decision-makers anytime and anywhere, Web-based group decision support systems have been studied. However, the limitations in the decision-makers’ interactions associated to this scenario bring new challenges. In this work, we propose a set of behavioral styles from which decision-makers’ intentions can be modelled into agents. The goal is that, besides having agents represent typical preferences of the decision-makers (towards alternatives and criteria), they can also represent their intentions. To do so, we conducted a survey with 64 participants in order to find homogeneous operating values so as to numerically define the proposed behavioral styles in four dimensions. In addition, we also propose a communication model that simulates the dialogues made by decision-makers in face-to-face meetings. We developed a prototype to simulate decision scenarios and found that agents are capable of acting according to the decision-makers’ intentions and fundamentally benefit from different possible behavioral styles, just as a face-to-face meeting benefits from the heterogeneity of its participants.This work was supported by COMPETE Programme (operational programme for competitiveness) within Project POCI-01-0145-FEDER-007043, by National Funds through the FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) within the Projects UID/CEC/00319/2013, UID/EEA/00760/2013, and the Ph.D. grants SFRH/BD/89697/2012 and SFRH/BD/89465/2012 attributed to João Carneiro and Pedro Saraiva, respectively.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Frequency-modulated vocalizations of eupsophus queulensis (Anura: Cycloramphidae)

The advertisment calls of the recently described frog Eupsophus queulensis (Cycloramphidae) are analyzed, based on recordings of seven males. Eupsophus queulensis emits an advertisment call consisting of a harmonic-rich frequency modulated note, with dominant second and third harmonics. The temporal parameters of the calls had large intra- and interindividual variation relative to the spectral parameters. The frequency modulations follow four different patterns, as described previously for Eupsophus calcaratus and Eupsophus roseus. Individual frogs produce calls having different frequency modulation patterns, and the proportions of each pattern vary individually. A discriminant analysis positions the calls of E. queulensis closer to E. roseus than to E. calcaratus, which is congruent with the geographic and phylogenetic affinities, as well as with the relative body sizes of these taxa. © 2009 Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles

Anticonception in adolescence: Motivations, elections and health education in a center of reproductive medicine of Chile Anticoncepción en la adolescencia: motivaciones, elecciones y educación sanitaria en un centro de medicina reproductiva de Chile

© 2017 Ediciones Mayo, S.A. All rights reserved. Objective: To identify the motivations and contraceptive choices of adolescents at the Center for Reproductive Medicine and Adolescent Comprehensive Development (CEMERA) and to explore how health education influences the final choice of a contraceptive method (CCM). Subjects: A sample of 16 adolescents between 15 and 19 years who consulted for the first time at CEMERA during the year 2015. Methodology: Qualitative methodology and exploratory design were used. To do this, we used in-depth interviews conducted by a team of researchers and that were processed through content analysis. Results: Adolescents acquire mostly information on CCM from the nearby circle. The motivation for using a CCM in adolescents who had started sex was pregnancy prevention. However, for those who have not started sexual life, the main motivation was their future projections. The choice of CCM was based on comfort, few side effects, long duration and little memo

Recommender Systems: Sources of Knowledge and Evaluation Metrics

Recommender or Recommendation Systems (RS) aim to help users dealing with information overload: finding relevant items in a vast space of resources. Research on RS has been active since the development of the first recommender sys-tem in the early 1990s, Tapestry, and some articles and books that survey algorithms and application domains have been published recently. However, these surveys have not extensively covered the different types of information used in RS (sources of knowledge), and only a few of them have reviewed the different ways to assess the quality and performance of RS. In order to bridge this gap, in this chapter we present a classification of recommender systems, and then we focus on presenting the main sources of knowledge and evaluation metrics that have been described in the research literature

Determinants of morbidity and mortality following emergency abdominal surgery in children in low-income and middle-income countries

Background: Child health is a key priority on the global health agenda, yet the provision of essential and emergency surgery in children is patchy in resource-poor regions. This study was aimed to determine the mortality risk for emergency abdominal paediatric surgery in low-income countries globally. Methods: Multicentre, international, prospective, cohort study. Self-selected surgical units performing emergency abdominal surgery submitted prespecified data for consecutive children aged <16 years during a 2-week period between July and December 2014. The United Nation's Human Development Index (HDI) was used to stratify countries. The main outcome measure was 30-day postoperative mortality, analysed by multilevel logistic regression. Results: This study included 1409 patients from 253 centres in 43 countries; 282 children were under 2 years of age. Among them, 265 (18.8%) were from low-HDI, 450 (31.9%) from middle-HDI and 694 (49.3%) from high-HDI countries. The most common operations performed were appendectomy, small bowel resection, pyloromyotomy and correction of intussusception. After adjustment for patient and hospital risk factors, child mortality at 30 days was significantly higher in low-HDI (adjusted OR 7.14 (95% CI 2.52 to 20.23), p<0.001) and middle-HDI (4.42 (1.44 to 13.56), p=0.009) countries compared with high-HDI countries, translating to 40 excess deaths per 1000 procedures performed. Conclusions: Adjusted mortality in children following emergency abdominal surgery may be as high as 7 times greater in low-HDI and middle-HDI countries compared with high-HDI countries. Effective provision of emergency essential surgery should be a key priority for global child health agendas
