    La gestión documental manual en entornos operativos presenta un desafío significativo, caracterizado por la ineficiencia y una alta susceptibilidad a errores. El problema central se origina en la conjunción de procesos operativos lentos, la ausencia de herramientas de automatización y la carencia de métricas objetivas de control. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo proponer un Modelo de Gestión Documental basado en Inteligencia Artificial (IA) para la reducción de tiempos y errores en el proceso de revisión. Mediante una metodología de diagnóstico mixto, se validó la situación actual (ASIS). Los hallazgos de la encuesta Likert revelaron que el 92.3% de los colaboradores perciben que el proceso consume demasiado tiempo. Los datos objetivos obtenidos mediante cronometría y lista de chequeo confirmaron que el Tiempo Promedio de Revisión por Documento es de 18.2 minutos, con una alta variabilidad, y que la Tasa de Documentos No Conformes asciende al 25.0%. Estos resultados cuantifican la grave consecuencia de la baja productividad y la alta probabilidad de errores humanos.Manual document management in operational environments presents a significant challenge, characterized by inefficiency and a high susceptibility to errors. The core problem stems from the combination of slow operational processes, the absence of automation tools, and the lack of objective control metrics. This study aimed to propose a Document Management Model based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to reduce time and errors in the review process. Using a mixed diagnostic methodology, the current situation (ASIS) was validated. The Likert survey findings revealed that 92.3% of employees perceive the process as excessively time-consuming. Objective data obtained through time studies and a checklist confirmed that the Average Review Time per Document is 18.2 minutes, with high variability, and that the Non-Conforming Document Rate reaches 25.0%. These results quantify the serious consequences of low productivity and the high probability of human error.Ingeniero IndustrialPregrad

    Continuous-wave infrared optical gain and amplified spontaneous emission at ultralow threshold by colloidal HgTe quantum dots

    No full text
    Colloidal quantum dots (QDs) raise more and more interest as solution-processable and tunable optical gain materials. However, especially for infrared active QDs, optical gain remains inefficient. Since stimulated emission involves multifold degenerate band-edge states, population inversion can be attained only at high pump power and must compete with efficient multi-exciton recombination. Here, we show that mercury telluride (HgTe) QDs exhibit size-tunable stimulated emission throughout the near-infrared telecom window at thresholds unmatched by any QD studied before. We attribute this unique behaviour to surface-localized states in the bandgap that turn HgTe QDs into 4-level systems. The resulting long-lived population inversion induces amplified spontaneous emission under continuous-wave optical pumping at power levels compatible with solar irradiation and direct current electrical pumping. These results introduce an alternative approach for low-threshold QD-based gain media based on intentional trap states that paves the way for solution-processed infrared QD lasers and amplifiers

    Hot-electron transfer in quantum-dot heterojunction films

    No full text
    Thermalization losses limit the photon-to-power conversion of solar cells at the high-energy side of the solar spectrum, as electrons quickly lose their energy relaxing to the band edge. Hot-electron transfer could reduce these losses. Here, we demonstrate fast and efficient hot-electron transfer between lead selenide and cadmium selenide quantum dots assembled in a quantum-dot heterojunction solid. In this system, the energy structure of the absorber material and of the electron extracting material can be easily tuned via a variation of quantum-dot size, allowing us to tailor the energetics of the transfer process for device applications. The efficiency of the transfer process increases with excitation energy as a result of the more favorable competition between hot-electron transfer and electron cooling. The experimental picture is supported by time-domain density functional theory calculations, showing that electron density is transferred from lead selenide to cadmium selenide quantum dots on the sub-picosecond timescale

    Artes de canto (1492-1626) y mujeres en la cultura musical del mundo ibérico renacentista

    [spa] Esta Tesis Doctoral explora la cultura musical del mundo ibérico renacentista a través del estudio de artes de canto en lengua vernácula impresas entre 1492 y 1626 y de su relación con las mujeres de la época. La Tesis consta de siete capítulos, estructurados en dos partes (Vol. I), y de veinte apéndices (Vol. II). La primera parte (Capítulos I al IV) muestra que las características por las que estos libros que contenían los rudimentos de la música han sido infravalorados hasta ahora por la historiografía musical son precisamente las mismas que demuestran que respondían a una necesidad pedagógica y a la demanda de manuales asequibles, breves y prácticos por parte de un amplio mercado. Las artes de canto se imprimieron en tiradas de miles de ejemplares y eran vendidas a bajo precio, tuvieron una enorme circulación en la Península Ibérica y el Nuevo Mundo, y contribuyeron al incremento y la difusión de la educación musical en contextos educativos diferenciados (la iglesia, la universidad y el ámbito privado), así como entre grupos sociales hasta entonces excluidos del aprendizaje de los fundamentos de la música. El Arte de canto llano (Sevilla, 1530) de Juan Martínez emerge como el tratado de música del mundo hispánico más difundido geográfica y cronológicamente en el siglo XVI e inicios del XVII, pero del que casi nada se sabía. En la segunda parte (Capítulos V al VII), las conexiones entre estos libros de música y mujeres muestran que las áreas de superposición entre lo privado y lo público y entre lo oral y lo escrito permiten desafiar la invisibilidad de las mujeres en documentos históricos y vislumbrar trazas no sólo de la cultura musical de las mujeres de la época, sino también de la importancia de la música en la vida cotidiana. Se utiliza una diversidad de fuentes (artes de canto, libros de conducta, documentos inquisitoriales, literatura, correspondencia e inventarios de bienes, entre otras), a través de las cuales se ha podido documentar la relación con la música de, entre otras, Catalina de Zúñiga, VI Condesa de Lemos, Isabel de Plazaola, e Isabel de Aragón, IV Duquesa del Infantado. Empleando metodologías de la musicología tradicional junto a otras tomadas de los historiadores del libro y de la cultura popular, esta Tesis Doctoral presenta una panorámica de la vida musical de la época a través del prisma de doble alteridad que supone el estudio de las artes de canto, generalmente consideradas carentes de interés, y de su relación con las mujeres, insuficientemente representadas en la historiografía musical.[eng] This dissertation explores the musical culture of the Renaissance Iberian world through both the study of small-format treatises in the vernacular containing the rudiments of music –known as artes de canto– printed between 1492 and 1626, and the nexuses between them and women. The dissertation consists of seven chapters, structured into two parts (Volume I), and twenty appendixes (Volume II). Part I (Chapters I to IV) shows that the arte de canto, until now generally overlooked or undervalued in music historiography, was produced in print runs of thousands of copies and sold for a low price; it had a broad circulation in the Iberian Peninsula and the New World, contributing to the spread of musical literacy in distinct didactic contexts (churches, universities, private settings) and among social groups until then excluded from learning the rudiments of music. The little known Juan Martínez’s Arte de canto llano (Seville, 1530) emerges as the most circulated music book in the Hispanic world during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The aim of Part II (Chapters V to VII) is to approach the musical life of the sixteenth-century Iberian world through the exploration of women’s contributions, thus broadening the field of historical research. The study of some connections between music books and women shows that the points of overlap between the private and the public spheres, on the one hand, and the written and the oral music transmission, on the other hand, not only make women’s musical practices visible, but also offer new vistas on the popular culture of the age. Through a variety of source materials (artes de canto, conduct manuals, Inquisition records, literature, letters and inventories of goods, among others) it has been possible to document the musical activities of women such as Catalina de Zúñiga, VI Countess of Lemos, Isabel de Plazaola, and Isabel de Aragón, IV Duchess of the Infantado. Combining methodologies from traditional musicology with those borrowed from book history and popular culture, this dissertation analyzes music in the culture of the Renaissance Iberian world through the prism of double Otherness involved in studying the ‘other’ music books –that is the undervalued artes de canto– and their connections to women of that period

    Disciplinarization and scientificity: political economy and the emergent sociology during the establishment of the human and social sciences in Germany (1875-1920)

    This dissertation analyzes the relationship between sociology and political economy in late-19th and early-20th century Germany. At this moment, sociology was still an infant and highly criticized discipline, while political political economy was already relevant politically and academically. At the same time, both disciplines were embedded in a discussion regarding the autonomy and scientificity of the social and human sciences. In this context, our intention is to connect two great debates. On one hand, we have the Methodenstreit between Schmoller, then leader of the dominant German Historical School of Economics, and Menger. In sum, Schmoller defends the historical method against Menger’s criticism. On the other hand, the debate to which Wilhelm Dilthey largely contributed: the emancipation and scientific recognition of the social and human sciences, which he names Geisteswissenschaften. Dilthey argues that this field has a specific object of study and method, the historical method. Herewith, we show how we can better understand the controversies within political economy when we are aware of the circumstances affecting the social sciences field in general. Thereafter, we present the work of Heinrich Dietzel, who seeks a conciliatory solution for the Methodenstreit while advancing his view of the proper manner to do economic theory, following the Ricardian perspective. Another author that pursues a solution for this methodological debate is Max Weber, a key figure in our discussion. We first address Weber’s work from his proximity to Heinrich Rickert. Rickert, one of the most notorious neo-Kantians authors, dedicates part of his endeavor to defend his version of the independent field of human and social sciences, the Kulturwissenschaften. His is critical of Dilthey’s epistemological differentiation and establishes the difference between natural and cultural sciences in methodological terms. Here our focus is to present how Weber’s criticism to Schmoller is related to Rickert’s criticism of Dilthey. Furthermore, Weber’s significance rests on his image as the father of sociology. The author, who for a long period worked as a political economist, had a major role in the development of sociology. We explore how Weber’s conception of sociology and political economy changed over time and how these disciplines were related to the construction of knowledge in the social sciences in general. Other authors, such as Georg Simmel and Werner Sombart, were as much or even more important than Weber in the process of institutionalization of sociology. We will discuss them in the context of disputes inside the German Society for Sociology (DGS), created in 1909, specially the so-called Werturteilsstreit. This debate is directly connected to the Methodenstreit and implies overcoming the mistakes perpetrated majorly, but not exclusively, by the German Historical School. This was a discussion about value neutrality in science, which became a touchstone in the social sciences at the time. Moreover, value neutrality is crucial for understanding how scientific specialization depended on overcoming Schmoller’s perspective, and also how it was essential for correcting the mistakes associated with the historical method. In this sense, Weberian sociology allowed for a solution to the Methodenstreit by concentrating in economic sociology those aspects of social reality that Schmoller would see as part of economic theory, while Menger would dismiss as outside the field of political economy. Lastly, we analyze the different sociological perspectives that co-existed in the DGS to show that, even though there was significant methodological pluralism, positions that went against scientific specialization were marginalized.Esta tese busca compreender o relacionamento entre a sociologia e a economia política na Alemanha do último quarto do século XIX e início do século XX, momento no qual a primeira ainda é uma disciplina infante e vista por muitos com desconfiança, ao passo que a última já é uma disciplina relevante política e academicamente, porém em um ambiente onde a cientificidade das ciências humanas e sociais ainda está em disputa. Neste contexto, buscamos interligar dois grandes debates. De um lado o Methodenstreit, onde Schmoller, líder da então dominante Escola Histórica Alemã de Economia, defende seu método histórico em oposição ao método abstrato de Menger. Do outro lado a discussão para a qual Wilhelm Dilthey fez grande contribuição:a independência e cientificidade das ciências sociais e humanas (que ele denomina Geisteswissenschaften). Dilthey argumenta que tal campo de pesquisa possui objeto de estudo distinto ao das ciências naturais, além de método próprio, o método histórico. Nosso objetivo com isso é apresentar como as disputas da economia política podem ser mais bem compreendidas quando vistas em comparação ao campo das ciências sociais como um todo. Posteriormente, apresentamos a obra de Heinrich Dietzel, autor que busca apresentar uma solução ao Methodenstreit que seja não apenas uma conciliação entre as posições de Menger e Schmoller, mas que também reestabeleça a correta teoria da economia política, aquela de visão ricardiana. Outro autor que buscará uma solução para o Methodenstreit é Max Weber, figura central em nossa discussão. Abordamos a obra de Weber primeiramente a partir de sua proximidade com Heinrich Rickert. Rickert, um dos principais autores do neokantianismo, tem parte de sua obra dedicada à discussão da cientificidade das ciências humanas e sociais, as Kulturwissenschaften, em sua versão. O autor é crítico de Dilthey, e estabelece as bases de uma separação metodológica entre as Kulturwissenschaften e as ciências naturais. O que buscamos apontar é como as críticas de Weber a Schmoller guardam relação com a crítica de Rickert a Dilthey. Ademais, a significância de Weber repousa em sua imagem de pai da sociologia. O autor, radicado na economia política, foi muito importante para o desenvolvimento da sociologia. Chamamos atenção para as variações ao longo do tempo na concepção de Weber sobre sociologia e economia política, e como tais disciplinas se relacionam em sua obra tendo em mente como o campo das ciências sociais em geral está relacionado com isso. Outros autores, como Georg Simmel e Werner Sombart, foram tão ou mais importantes na institucionalização da sociologia. A relação entre eles é observada em mais detalhes dentro das discussões da Sociedade Alemã para Sociologia (DGS), criada em 1909, em especial em meio ao chamado Werturteilsstreit. Este debate está diretamente relacionado ao Methodenstreit e implica na superação de erros de concepção de ciência por parte não somente, mas principalmente, da Escola Histórica. Essa é uma discussão sobre a neutralidade de valores, que se torna ponto-chave nas ciências sociais e é importante para que compreendamos como a especialização científica não só depende da superação da perspectiva schmolleriana de economia política, mas é também essencial para a correção do que estes autores, os modernos sociólogos, viam como equívocos do método histórico. Colocado desta maneira, a sociologia weberiana permitiria uma solução ao Methodenstreit ao concentrar na sociologia econômica aspectos da realidade social que Schmoller buscava analisar a partir da teoria econômica, e que Menger negava enquanto objeto de estudo da disciplina. Por fim, analisamos as diferentes perspectivas de sociologia existentes na DGS, mostrando como, apesar de imperar um pluralismo metodológico, as posições contrárias à especialização científicas eram marginalizadas.CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superio

    First Results from the Lyman Alpha Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization (LAGER) Survey: Cosmological Reionization at z similar to 7

    We present the first results from the ongoing Lyman Alpha Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization (LAGER) project, which is the largest narrowband survey for z similar to 7 galaxies to date. Using a specially built narrowband filter NB964 for the superb large-area Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the NOAO/CTIO 4 m Blanco telescope, LAGER has collected 34 hr NB964 narrowband imaging data in the 3 deg(2) COSMOS field. We have identified 23 Ly alpha Emitter candidates at z = 6.9 in the central 2-deg(2) region, where DECam and public COSMOS multi-band images exist. The resulting luminosity function (LF) can be described as a Schechter function modified by a significant excess at the bright end (four galaxies with L-Ly alpha similar to 10(43.4 +/- 0.2) erg s(-1)). The number density at L-Ly alpha similar to 10(43.4 +/- 0.2) erg s(-1) is little changed from z = 6.6, while at fainter L-Ly alpha it is substantially reduced. Overall, we see a fourfold reduction in Ly alpha luminosity density from z = 5.7 to z = 6.9. Combined with a more modest evolution of the continuum UV luminosity density, this suggests a factor of similar to 3 suppression of Ly alpha by radiative transfer through the z similar to 7 intergalactic medium (IGM). It indicates an IGM neutral fraction of x(HI) similar to 0.4-0.6 (assuming Ly alpha velocity offsets of 100-200 km s(-1)). The changing shape of the Ly alpha LF between z less than or similar to 6.6 and z = 6.9 supports the hypothesis of ionized bubbles in a patchy reionization at z similar to 7.National Science Foundation of China [11233002, 11421303]; Chinese Top-notch Young Talents Program; National Basic Research Program of China (973 program) [2015CB857005]; CAS Frontier Science Key Research Program [QYCDJ-SSW-SLH006]; China-Chile Joint Research Fund (CCJRF) [1503]; CAS Pioneer Hundred Talents Program (C); US National Science Foundation [AST-1518057]; CONICYT-Chile [Basal-CATA PFB-06/2007, 3140542, Conicyt-PIA-ACT 1417]; Shanghai Municipal Natural Science Foundation [15ZR1446600]; NSF (USA); MISE (Spain); STFC (UK); HEFCE (UK); NCSA (UIUC); KICP (University of Chicago); CCAPP (The Ohio State University); MIFPA (Texas AM University); CNPQ; FAPERJ; FINEP (Brazil); MINECO (Spain); DFG (Germany); DOE (USA); Argonne Lab; UC Santa Cruz; University of Cambridge; CIEMAT-Madrid; University of Chicago; University College London; DES-Brazil Consortium; University of Edinburgh; ETH Zurich; Fermilab; University of Illinois; ICE (IEEC-CSIC); IFAE Barcelona; Lawrence Berkeley Lab; LMU Munchen; University of Michigan; NOAO; University of Nottingham; Ohio State University; University of Pennsylvania; University of Portsmouth; SLAC National Lab; Stanford University; University of Sussex; Texas AM University; Excellence Cluster UniverseSCI(E)ARTICLE284

    First Spectroscopic Confirmations of z similar to 7.0 Ly alpha Emitting Galaxies in the LAGER Survey

    No full text
    Narrowband imaging is a highly successful approach for finding large numbers of high-redshift Ly alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) up to z similar to 6.6. However, at z greater than or similar to 7 there are as of yet only three narrowband selected LAEs with spectroscopic confirmations (two at z similar to 6.9-7.0, one at z similar to 7.3), which hinders extensive studies on cosmic reionization and galaxy evolution at this key epoch. We have selected 23 candidate z similar to 6.9 LAEs in COSMOS field with the large area narrowband survey Lyman-Alpha Galaxies at the End of Reionization (LAGER). In this work, we present spectroscopic follow-up observations of 12 candidates using the Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph on Magellan. For nine of these, the observations are sufficiently deep to detect the expected lines. Ly alpha emission lines are identified in six sources (yielding a success rate of 2/3), including three luminous LAEs with Ly alpha luminosities of L-Ly alpha similar to 10(43.5) erg s(-1), the highest among known spectroscopically confirmed galaxies at greater than or similar to 7.0. This triples the sample size of spectroscopically confirmed narrowband selected LAEs at z greater than or similar to 7, and confirms the bright-end bump in the Ly alpha luminosity function we previously derived based on the photometric sample, supporting a patchy reionization scenario. Two luminous LAEs appear physically linked with a projected distance of 1.1 pMpc and velocity difference of similar to 170 km s(-1). They likely sit in a common ionized bubble produced by themselves or with close neighbors, which reduces the intergalactic medium attenuation of Ly alpha. A tentative narrow N V lambda 1240 line is seen in one source, hinting at activity of a central massive black hole with metal-rich line-emitting gas.National Science Foundation of China [11233002, 11421303, 11773051]; National 15 Program for Support of Top-notch Young Professionals [NB964]; National Basic Research Program of China (973 program) [2015CB857005]; CAS [QYCDJ-SSW-SLH006]; China-Chile Joint Research Fund (CCJRF) [1503]; CAS; US National Science Foundation [AST-1518057]; CONICYT-Chile [3140542, Basal-CATA PFB-06/2007]; Shanghai Municipal Natural Science Foundation [15ZR1446600]; National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Ministry of Finance; Conicyt-PIA-ACT [1417]SCI(E)ARTICLE284

    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em LiteraturaHelena Kolody, carbono & diamante - uma biografia ilustrada conta a vida da escritora Helena Kolody, a partir de sua inscrição na literatura, questionando sua identidade, o mundo que a cercava e o sentido de sua existência. Equivale a dizer: em sua lírica, reflexões e sentimentos se entretecem a partir de uma matéria pessoal e localizada. Da estação ferroviária à estação tubo; da Ucrânia ao centro de Curitiba; de Paisagem interior a Reika; do século XIX ao século XXI, a literatura de Helena Kolody gerencia sua presença na consolidação do binômio arte-vida. O retrato da autora acaba se constituindo também por meio de farto aparato iconográfico; pelos mais de quinhentos textos críticos elencados e por sua obra completa. Fragmentação deliberadamente assumida, a pessoa se revela em sua inteireza.Helena Kolody, carbon & diamond - an illustrated biography tells the life of Helena Kolody, from her very insertion in literature, as it questions her identity, the world surrounding her, and the meaning of her existence. That is equivalent to saying that in her poetry there is the intermingling of reflections and feelings that derive from personal and localized material. From the railroad station to the tube-shaped bus stops; from Ukraine to downtown Curitiba; from Paisagem interior to Reika; from the nineteenth century to the twenty-first century, Helena Kolody's literature guarantees her presence in the consolidation of the art/life binomial. The portrait of the author ends up by also being made up of an abundant iconographic apparatus, of the over five hundred critical texts listed, and of her complete work. The person, although deliberately accepting her own fragmentation, reveals herself in her entireness
