    La sostenibilidad entendida como la capacidad de satisfacer necesidades del presente sin poner vulnerar la capacidad de las próximas generaciones para satisfacer las suyas, involucra clásicamente 3 dimensiones: economía, sociedad y ambiente. Sin embargo, el modelo propuesto para esta investigación, planteado por Kozlowski, Bardecki & Searcy (2019), determina 5 dimensiones para estudiar la industria de la moda; agregando la dimensión cultural y estética. En ese sentido, la investigación tiene como objetivo analizar cómo contribuye el diseño para alcanzar estas 5 dimensiones de sostenibilidad en 4 empresas de moda sostenible pertenecientes a la AMSP. Las empresas elegidas como casos de estudio son Amazónikas, Saké, Las Polleras de Agus y Michell & Cía. Dentro de las diseñadoras están Naty Muñoz, Anabel de la Cruz, Cecilia Román y Carola Solís. A partir de la información recabada se pudo concluir que el diseño incide principalmente en las dimensiones cultural, ambiental y estético donde principalmente resalta el uso e investigación de nuevos materiales en términos ecológicos, pero también de funcionalidad y atractividad. Asimismo, se intenta promover el decolonialismo cultural desde la base de la cocreación entre diseñadores y artistas textiles y, a partir de ello, también generar un cambio cultural en el cliente final

    La presente investigación aborda el tema de la sostenibilidad dentro del sector de moda en el Perú. La necesidad de abordar este tema parte de la problemática que se viene dando a partir del actuar irresponsable de diversos actores. Frente a ello, la sostenibilidad puede entenderse como la capacidad de satisfacción de las necesidades futuras a partir de la armonía entre sociedad, ambiente y economía. La moda enfrenta diversos problemas de sostenibilidad, debido a la multiplicidad de actores que interactúan en la cadena de valor, la cantidad de recursos naturales utilizados durante la cadena productiva y el impacto medioambiental y social producto de sus operaciones. No obstante, ha nacido una tendencia que internaliza la sostenibilidad en el sector, la moda sostenible, la cual toma en cuenta tres principios claves: rentabilidad, equilibrio entre las personas y el ambiente en el ciclo de vida del producto, y la trazabilidad y transparencia. El objetivo general de la investigación es construir un modelo de sostenibilidad que sea aplicable a la etapa de diseño de producto en el sector de la moda. La mayoría de autores entiende a la sostenibilidad a la luz de tres dimensiones: sociedad, ambiente y economía. Existen distintos modelos de sostenibilidad, entre los cuales destacan el modelo del triple bottom line, el modelo de los cuatro pilares de sostenibilidad, el modelo de relación causa-efecto, el modelo de sostenibilidad en la producción y el modelo de las cinco dimensiones aplicado al secto de la moda. Dentro del sector de la moda, la etapa de diseño de producto es fundamental pues involucra decisiones de gran impacto a nivel de costos, elección de materiales, gestión de la cadena de suministro y compromiso del consumidor. Sobre esa base, el modelo de sostenibilidad planteado para el análisis sectorial combina las cinco dimensiones de la sostenibilidad (económico, social, ambiental, cultural y estético) con los cuatro componentes clave en la etapa de diseño de producto (concepto de sostenibilidad, innovación del negocio, gestión de la cadena de valor y compromiso del consumidor). Finalmente, el análisis del marco contextual mostró que en el país existen pocas organizaciones de moda sostenible, las cuales se encuentran en una etapa inicial de desarrollo y poseen distintos grados de internalización de la perspectiva de la sostenibilidad en el diseño de sus productos

    Risk portfolio on modern finance has become increasingly technical, requiring the use of sophisticated mathematical tools in both research and practice. Since companies cannot insure themselves completely against risk, as human incompetence in predicting the future precisely that written in Al-Quran surah Luqman verse 34, they have to manage it to yield an optimal portfolio. The objective here is to minimize the variance among all portfolios, or alternatively, to maximize expected return among all portfolios that has at least a certain expected return. Furthermore, this study focuses on optimizing risk portfolio so called Markowitz MVO (Mean-Variance Optimization). Some theoretical frameworks for analysis are arithmetic mean, geometric mean, variance, covariance, linear programming, and quadratic programming. Moreover, finding a minimum variance portfolio produces a convex quadratic programming, that is minimizing the objective function ðð¥with constraintsð ð 𥠥 ðandð´ð¥ = ð. The outcome of this research is the solution of optimal risk portofolio in some investments that could be finished smoothly using MATLAB R2007b software together with its graphic analysis

    Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

    Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript −1]. The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values, the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.United States.

    Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

    One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI

    Search for stop and higgsino production using diphoton Higgs boson decays

    Get PDF
    Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top-quark (stop) and the Higgs boson (higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the stop mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the higgsino mass

    Severe early onset preeclampsia: short and long term clinical, psychosocial and biochemical aspects

    Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific disorder commonly defined as de novo hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks gestational age. It occurs in approximately 3-5% of pregnancies and it is still a major cause of both foetal and maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide1. As extensive research has not yet elucidated the aetiology of preeclampsia, there are no rational preventive or therapeutic interventions available. The only rational treatment is delivery, which benefits the mother but is not in the interest of the foetus, if remote from term. Early onset preeclampsia (<32 weeks’ gestational age) occurs in less than 1% of pregnancies. It is, however often associated with maternal morbidity as the risk of progression to severe maternal disease is inversely related with gestational age at onset2. Resulting prematurity is therefore the main cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in patients with severe preeclampsia3. Although the discussion is ongoing, perinatal survival is suggested to be increased in patients with preterm preeclampsia by expectant, non-interventional management. This temporising treatment option to lengthen pregnancy includes the use of antihypertensive medication to control hypertension, magnesium sulphate to prevent eclampsia and corticosteroids to enhance foetal lung maturity4. With optimal maternal haemodynamic status and reassuring foetal condition this results on average in an extension of 2 weeks. Prolongation of these pregnancies is a great challenge for clinicians to balance between potential maternal risks on one the eve hand and possible foetal benefits on the other. Clinical controversies regarding prolongation of preterm preeclamptic pregnancies still exist – also taking into account that preeclampsia is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the Netherlands5 - a debate which is even more pronounced in very preterm pregnancies with questionable foetal viability6-9. Do maternal risks of prolongation of these very early pregnancies outweigh the chances of neonatal survival? Counselling of women with very early onset preeclampsia not only comprises of knowledge of the outcome of those particular pregnancies, but also knowledge of outcomes of future pregnancies of these women is of major clinical importance. This thesis opens with a review of the literature on identifiable risk factors of preeclampsia
