    En el presente trabajo de investigación, se ha abordado la problemática del daño moral como daño extra patrimonial previsto en el ordenamiento jurídico civil. Asimismo, se ha abordado la figura de los accidentes de trabajo que comprenden los eventos producidos en las que un empleado resulta afectado con motivo a la realización de sus laboral, el cual debe estar protegido legalmente Hemos analizado el marco legal, así como se ha realizado el análisis de la jurisprudencia nacional que aborda problemas sobre responsabilidad civil de los empleadores. Finalmente, hemos analizados 2 sentencias expedidas por la Corte Superior de justicia respecto a un pedido de indemnización por responsabilidad civil del empleador al haberse invocado daño moral en dicha causa. Cuyo hecho se remonta a diciembre del año 2010, en donde un ingeniero falleció producto de un impacto de un equipo con vehículo dentro del horario de trabajo, quien fuera conducido de gravedad del caso decidieron derivarlo al hospital de Cerro de Pasco, y posteriormente Lima, en donde certificaron el deceso. Se estudió las resoluciones laborales que son objeto de estudio y que se pronunció sobre una demanda interpuesta por la cónyuge del ingeniero a la empresa administradora, por materia de daños y perjuicios, habiéndose alegado esencialmente que las causas del accidente fueron por un deficiente programa de gestión para controlar los peligros y riesgos en el Sub Nivel 400 Nivel 225 por no cumplir con los PETS que cuentan los supervisores; con ello se demuestra el seguro deficiente que tenía el personal

    Man and society : the notion of responsibility in the novels of Alejo Carpentier

    No full text
    The aim of this thesis is to investigate the highly moral ethic of social duty and responsibility which animates the work of Alejo Carpentier. In order to examine this theme, I have studied, in particular, the following six novels: ‘El reino de este mundo’, Los pasos perdidos’, ‘El acoso’, El siglo de las luces’, ‘El recurso del método’, and ‘La consagración de la primavera’. In the Introduction, I have investigated the various philosophical questions raised by the concept of responsibility : the debate about freewill and determinism has been examined, and the Existentialist philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre has been chosen as the most helpful in an investigation of Carpentier’s theory of responsibility, due to a great coincidence of thought between the two writers. The protagonists of the novels in question have been grouped according to various distinguishing tendencies or characteristics, and have been analysed in the light of the Sartrian concepts of good and bad faith. These groupings are as follows: “the deluded intellectual”, “two tyrants”, “the lesson of experience”, and “the committed individual”. The success, or failure, of these characters, in matching up to the goals of self-transcendence and responsible commitment posed by Carpentier has been charted throughout Chapters One to Four, and deductions have been made about the various forms of bad faith in which the characters indulge. The conclusions that I have drawn from this detailed investigation of characters in good and bad faith are, firstly, that Carpentier sees man’s goal in life as the attainment of self-knowledge and the honest acceptance of responsibility for the self : once this state of good faith has been achieved, man is able to commit himself to the never-ending struggle for the improvement of the social situation. Acceptance of responsibility for the self is vital, in Carpentier’s canon, for without such acceptance, positive commitment is impossible. Secondly, I have concluded that, according to Carpentier, commitment is an inevitable part of life, and that Carpentier’s goal, then, is that we should actively commit ourselves to a positive cause through recognition of our responsibility for ourselves and our society, rather than tacitly accept the status quo through a passive or deterministic attitude

    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência e Engenharia de Materiais, Florianópolis, 2015.Foi estudado um carvão ativado purificado cubano (CA/ML) como matéria-prima e produtos acabados para a indústria médico farmacêutica. Foram realizados estudos comparativos in vitro da adsorção de farmacos em fluido gástrico simulado (estudo pré-clinico) em CA e validação de comprimidos de carvão/pepsina (distúrbios gástricos) com tecnologias farmacêutica para zona climática IV em escala de bancada. Foram escolhidos para comparação dos resultados 6 padrões comerciais utilizados internacionalmente pela indústria médica farmacêutica : Norit B Eur (Alemanha), BDH (Inglatérra), Merck (Alemanha), Norit E Supra (Holanda), Panreac (Espanha) e Ch3J (China). Este estudo envolveu desde a obtenção do material CA/ML até a fase final dos lotes de fabricação (5440 unidades) de comprimidos de carvão/pepsina em escala de bancada e com seu correspondente estudo temporal de estabilidade acelerada (6 meses) e estabilidade de vida na prateleira (30 meses). Para a implementação de todo o exposto, foi feita em primeira instância, uma avaliação conforme a United States Pharmacopeia (USP 31-NF27). Neste caso, CA/ML atingiu os requerimentos básicos estabelecidos pelas normas como matérias-primas farmacêuticas. Diferentes ensaios foram realizados em paralelo como: análise da textura da superfície por adsorção de N2 a 77 K, FTIR, potencial zeta, isotermas de adsorção de farmacos (teofilina, paracetamol e diazepam) e determinações de parâmetros termodinâmicos. Os modelos de Langmuir (LTI e LTII), DR, Temkin, Freundlich, BET, Halsey, Harkins e Jura foram empregados para analisar os dados experimentais em sua forma linearizada. Em todos os processos de adsorc¸a~o foi encontrado que ?G 0, e ocorre por adsorc¸a~o fi´sica ?H=5 até 28,61 kJ/mol, com valores qe experimentais = 470-750 mg/g. Os modelos que melhor se adequaram aos dados experimentais são: DR (R2 = 0,98) > T (R2 = 0,97) > LTII (R2 = 0,96). Para a molécula de teofilina, o processo é exotérmico (?H 0) e ocorre por adsorção quase química com ?H = 9,83 até 67,44 kJ/mol e com valores de qe experimentais = 210-405 mg/g. O modelo que melhor se adequou aos dados experimentais foi LTI (R2 = 0,99). O modelo de Langmuir foi o modelo que mais predominou nos processos de adsorção. O estudo de estabilidade temporal dos compromidos produzidos com CA/ML e CA/NE empregando a formulação cubano revelou que os dois produtos mantêm suas qualidades químico-físicas e tecnológicas de acordo com as disposições das normas farmacêuticas, para ambos os tempos de testes, 6 meses e 30 meses. Não houve diferenças significativas (a=0,95%) entre os dois produtos e com as normas estabelecidas. Todos os resultados obtidos e testes indicam que o carvão ativado cubano (CA/ML) pode ser considerado um possível candidato para uso na indústria médico-farmacêutica, como suspensão antídoto e como comprimido de carvão/pepsina.Abstract : A Cuban activated carbon (AC/ML) was studied as raw material and finished products for the pharmaceutical industry according to comparative studies in vitro of adsorption the drug in simulated gastric fluid (antidote suspension) and validation of tablets carvão/pepsin (stomach upset) within the pharmaceutical climatic zone IV at bench scale. Six commercial international standards were chosen for the comparison of results: Norit B Eur (Germany), BDH (England), Merck (Germany), Norit Supra E (Netherlands), Panreac (Spain) and test Ch3J (China). This study covers the material from the production of CA/ML until the final stage of manufacturing lots (5440 units) of tablets of carbon/pepsin at bench scale and its corresponding temporal accelerated stability study (6 months) and stability shelf life (30 months). An assessment under the United States Pharmacopeia (USP 31-NF27) was performed, and AC/ML reached the basic requirements established by the standards as pharmaceutical raw materials. Several tests were carried out such as analysis of the surface texture by adsorption of CO2 and N2 at 273 K and 77 K, FTIR, zeta potential, adsorption isotherms with drugs (theophylline, acetaminophen and diazepam), determination of thermodynamic parameters. Models of Langmuir (LTI and LTII), DR, Temkin, Freundlich, BET, Halsey, Harkins and Jura were employed to analyze the experimental data in linearized form. In all cases adsorption was found that ?G 0, and occurs by physical adsorption with ?H = 5 to 28,61 kJ /mol, and experimental values of qe= 470-750 mg/g. The models that best fit the experimental data are: DR (R2 = 0,98) > T (R2 = 0,97)> LTII (R2 = 0,96). For theophylline molecule the process is exothermic, ?H 0, and chemical adsorption occurs with ?H = 9,83 to 67,44 kJ/mol and qe experimental values of 210-405 mg/g. The model that best fits the experimental data is LTI (R2 = 0,99). Langmuir model is the most relevant model for the adsorption in the present study. The study of temporal stability of AC/ML and AC/NE produced with Cuban formulation revealed that the two products retainxvitheir chemical-physical and technological properties in accordance with pharmaceutical standards. There were no significant differences (a = 0,95%) between the two products and according to established standards. All tests and results indicate that the Cuban activated carbon (AC/ML) can be considered a possible candidaté for use in the pharmaceutical industry as an antidote suspension and as compressed carbon/pepsin

    Perspectives of the River Plate around the time of Rosas : an analysis based upon the personal correspondence, private memoirs and published accounts of British settlers, as well as works by creole authors

    This thesis draws inspiration from the emergence of cultural studies as an academic pursuit, in addition to the current renewal of interest in the relationship between literary works and their socio-cultural milieux, to bring together an assortment of textual traces pertaining to the River Plate around the era of Juan Manuel de Rosas, governor of Buenos Aires and de facto dictator of Argentina for most of the period 1829-1852. The main texts analysed range from private documents relating to two Scottish settler families, through accounts published by British citizens with first-hand knowledge of the region (Un inglés, Cinco años en Buenos Aires and Beaumont, Travels in Buenos Ayres and the Adjacent Provinces), to three influential pieces of early Argentinian literature (Echeverria's El matadero, Mármol's Amalia and Sarmiento's Facundo). One justification of this apparently eclectic approach lies in the prominence accorded to the incomer in the thought of liberal Platine intellectuals, a concern evinced in their literary production. The methodology involves examining the representation of certain fundamental topics across this range of written artefacts, observing frequent points of thematic convergence amongst the various texts. In this fashion, I construct an image of the River Plate region around the Rosas period, whilst also appraising the degree to which early British settlers matched the idealized notion of the immigrant present in liberal creole writings. The study is divided into four main chapters, supplemented by an introduction, conclusion and appendix. The first chapter summarizes the historical context of the young Platine republics; the second deals with the themes of society, community and family, the third focuses upon religion; the fourth considers perspectives of politics, dictatorship and civil war. The appendix consists of an unpublished settler autobiography, a remarkable account of the tribulations faced on a daily basis in the developing Argentina

    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia de Produção.O CGI (Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil) (2006), PNAD (Pesquisa Nacional por Amostras de Domicílios) (2005) e Censo Escolar (2005) apontam para uma realidade onde, apesar dos recentes esforços de vários governos, aproximadamente, 54% da população brasileira nunca usou um computador e 67% nunca navegou na Internet. Apenas 19% dos domicílios possuem computador e somente 25% das escolas básicas possuem computadores ligados à Internet. A situação é ainda mais grave quando se identifica que, mesmo nas escolas com conexão e computadores, muitas das salas de informática ficam trancadas e tornam-se alvo de sucateamento e furto de equipamentos, em geral, pela falta de formação dos professores ou pela ausência de uma política educacional que pressuponha as tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC ) como instrumento pedagógico. A democratização do acesso aos produtos tecnológicos e a inclusão digital é um desafio para a sociedade atual e requer esforços e mudanças na área educacional. Este trabalho visa o desenvolvimento e experimentação de um modelo sistêmico de informatização educacional de escolas, que enfatize a implantação da informática educacional em uma abordagem de gestão de mudança, através de ações voltadas ao contexto especifico do ambiente de atuação, de maneira a gerir e integrar aspectos sociais, gerenciais e tecnológicos que contribuam, direta e indiretamente, para a mudança desejada. Nesse processo de integração, a estratégia de incorporação tecnológica leva em conta a visão social da organização, evidenciando o entendimento da escola como um sistema sócio-técnico. Nesta visão, é através da integração dos elementos da comunidade escolar que se viabiliza que as TIC consigam adquirir um estatuto de instrumento educacional, sendo internalizadas pelos atores do processo ensino-aprendizagem. Neste modelo, o enfoque sistêmico, pressupõe uma constante validação e atualização (auto-regulação), onde é possível recuperar defasagens oriundas de momentos anteriores do processo através de um constante feedback. O modelo e as nuances permitem balizar decisões no momento de definição, implantação, acompanhamento e repetição do processo. The CGI (Brazil Internet Management Committee) (2006), PNAD (National Research for Sample Home) (2005) e School Census (2005) point to a reality where, although the recent efforts of some governments, 54% of Brazilian people never used a computer and 67% never accessed the Internet. Only 19% of the homes have a computer and only 25% of the basic schools have computer with access to the Internet. The situation is even more serious when is identified that even in the schools with connection and computers, many of the computer rooms are locked and become target of trashing and equipment robery, usually, because the lack of formation of the teachers or the absence of educational politics that understand the technologies of computer science and communication as a pedagogical instrument. The democratization of the access to the technological products and the digital inclusion are a challenge to the current society and require efforts and changes in the educational area. This work aims at the development and experimentation of a systemic model of educational computerization of schools, that emphasizes the implantation of educational computer science in focus of change management, through actions faced to the specific context of the working environment, in way to manage and integrate social aspects, managemental and technological, that contribute direct and indirect ways, to the desired change. In this process of integration, the strategy of technological incorporation care about the social vision of the organization, evidencing the understanding of the school as a system partner-technician. In this vision, it is through the integration of the elements of the school community that makes possible that the technologies of computer science and communication achieve a statute of educational instrument, being internalized for the actors of the process teach-learning. In this model, the systemic approach, estimates a constant validation and update (self-regulation), where is possible to recover from imbalance derived from previous moments of the process through a constant feedback. The model and its variables allow to demarcate decisions in the definition moment, implantation, accompaniment and repetition of the process

    Utility privatization and the needs of the poor in Latin America - Have we learned enough to get it right?

    No full text
    Efforts to reform utilities can affect poor households in varied, often complex, ways, but it is by no means certain that such reform will hurt vulnerable households. Many myths have been perpetuated in discussions of utility reform - and in many cases poor households have benefited from reform. What is amazing is the extent to which governments, and their advisors - sometimes including multilateral organizations - fail to measure, anticipate, and monitor how the privatization of utilities actually affects the poor. Many questions must still be answered before good general guidelines can be drawn, but the authors offer many suggestions about how social, regulatory, and privatization policy, can increase the benefits of utility reform for poor households. The good news is that many measures can be taken to improve the chances that poor households will benefit from reform. Chief among these is promoting competition, where possible. Essentially what is needed is political commitment to doing the right thing. If policy is weak before privatization, it is going to be weak after privatization as well. Privatization is no substitute for responsible policy on redistribution.Environmental Economics&Policies,Trade Finance and Investment,Municipal Financial Management,Decentralization,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Town Water Supply and Sanitation,Municipal Financial Management

    Improving air quality in metropolitan Mexico City : an economic valuation

    No full text
    Mexico City has for years experienced high levels of ozone and particulate air pollution. In 1995-99 the entire population of the Mexico City metropolitan area was exposed to annual average concentrations of fine particulate pollution (particulates with a diameter of less than 10micrometers, or PM10) exceeding 50 micrograms per cubic meter, the annual average standard in both Mexico and the United States. Two million people were exposed to annual average PM10 levels of more than 75 micrograms per cubic meter. The daily maximum one-hour ozone standard was exceeded at least 300 days a year. The Mexico Air Quality Management Team documents population-weighted exposures to ozone and PM10 between 1995 and 1999, project exposures in 2010, and computes the value of four scenarios for 2010: A 10 percent reduction in PM10 and ozone. A 20 percent reduction in PM10 and ozone. Achievement of ambient air quality standards across the metropolitan area. A 68 percent reduction in ozone and a 47 percent reduction in PM10 across the metropolitan area. The authors calculate the health benefits of reducing ozone and PM10 for each scenario using dose-response functions from the peer-reviewed literature. They value cases of morbidity and premature mortality avoided using three approaches: Cost of illness and forgone earnings only (low estimate). Cost of illness, forgone earnings, and willingness to pay for avoided morbidity (central case estimate). Cost of illness, forgone earnings, willingness to pay for avoided morbidity, and willingness to pay for avoided mortality (high estimate). The results suggest that the benefits of a 10 percent reduction in ozone and PM10 in 2010 are about 760million(in1999U.S.dollars)annuallyinthecentralcase.Thebenefitsofa20percentreductioninozoneandPM10areabout760 million (in 1999 U.S. dollars) annually in the central case. The benefits of a 20 percent reduction in ozone and PM10 are about 1.49 billion annually. In each case the benefits of reducing ozone amount to about 15 percent of the total benefits. By estimating the magnitude of the benefits from air pollution control, the authors provide motivation for examining specific policies that could achieve the air pollution reductions that they value. They also provide unit values for the benefits from reductions in ambient air pollution (for example, per microgram of PM10) that could be used as inputs into a full cost-benefit analysisof air pollution control strategies.Montreal Protocol,Public Health Promotion,Global Environment Facility,Air Quality&Clean Air,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Montreal Protocol,Air Quality&Clean Air,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Global Environment Facility,Transport and Environment
