Assessment of Obesity as a Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor in a Geriatric Rural Texas Community - A Six Month Follow-Up
No full textCoustasse, Alberto, Assessment of Obesity as a Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor in a Geriatric Rural Texas Community – A Six Month Follow-up. Master of Public Health Track, Public Health Administration, December 1999, 22 pp., 9 tables, 9 illustrations, bibliography, 7 titles. The health fair approach was used as a method to establish individual and population health status baselines and to provide a mechanism to follow-up with an elderly population in a rural Texas community. A controlled trial sample of forty-four seniors was initially screened in a primary care clinic in August 1998. Patients were reevaluated at six months and results demonstrated a 46% increase in BMI [Body Mass Index]; 62% remained obese; 62% maintained elevated cholesterol or increased cholesterol values to abnormal values; 61% maintained or increased their BP [blood pressure] to abnormal values. A significant finding was that a change of one unit in the BMI correlated with a change of 19.88 mmHg [millimeter mercury] of SBP [systolic blood pressure] and 18.59 mmHg of DBP [diastolic blood pressure]. The societal economic impact of mortality and morbidity (without the benefit of target interventions) for the initial forty-four seniors was projected at & 74,949.

No full textEficiencia del óxido de grafeno para la remoción de Pb y Cu presentes en aguas del río Huarmey, 2020
No full textActualmente, la contaminación hídrica es uno de los problemas de mayor interés
de investigación en diferentes países del mundo debido a que el agua es un recurso
vital que permite al ser vivo subsistir, pues desde hace muchas décadas las industrias
han provocado una alternación nociva en los recursos naturales. Sin embargo, existen
diversos factores naturales que en conjunto producen consecuencias nefastas sobre
el ser vivo y el ambiente. Siendo así, esta investigación determinó la eficiencia del
óxido de grafeno para remover Pb y Cu presentes en aguas del río Huarmey. El óxido
de grafeno (OG) se fabricó mediante el método de Hummers y se caracterizó
mediante la técnica de difracción de rayos X (DRX). Para la remoción de plomo y
cobre se trabajó en tiempos de 7, 14 y 21 días, con dosis de 0.5%, 1% y 1.5% de OG
por cada tiempo trabajado. Los mejores resultados se presenciaron en el tiempo de
21 días, con remociones de 99.78% de Pb y 99.88% de Cu, para las dosis de
0.5%OG. Finalmente, se concluyó que el OG es un método eficiente para remover Pb
y Cu en aguas contaminadas, y podría ser utilizado como una alternativa eco
amigable
Identifying and classifying access barriers for students with disabilities, through the perspectives of the educational community
No full textEste artículo, presenta de manera detallada los resultados de la investigación que recopila y analiza las voces de 377 actores de la comunidad educativa (docentes, familias, estudiantes, personal administrativo de Instituciones Educativas Distritales, en adelante IED, y funcionarios relacionados con la política pública de educación en Bogotá).
En Colombia la educación inclusiva se promueve como un derecho fundamental como resultado de la ratificación de la Convención de los derechos de las personas con discapacidad, respaldado por normativas como el Decreto 1421 de 2017 , sin embargo su implementación efectiva enfrenta múltiples barreras que obstaculizan las trayectorias educativas de los niños, niñas y jóvenes con discapacidad.
Esta caracterización busca identificar las barreras a las que se enfrentan los estudiantes con discapacidad para acceder a la educación, desde la perspectiva de la comunidad educativa.
A través de un enfoque histórico-hermenéutico e investigación-acción, haciendo uso de encuestas semiestructuradas, entrevistas directas y grupos focales, el análisis integral de esta investigación, confirma la presencia de múltiples barreras en la educación inclusiva de estudiantes con discapacidad en Bogotá.
Sin embargo, más allá de la caracterización individual de estas barreras, emerge una conclusión reveladora, y es que la barrera actitudinal se posiciona como el eje transversal que intensifica todas las demás barreras, resaltando la necesidad de una corresponsabilidad real entre todos los actores educativos para minimizar los desafíos de acceso, permanencia y promoción del sistema educativo del país.Magíster en Educación Inclusiva e InterculturalMaestríaThis article presents in detail the results of the research that collects and analyzes the voices of 377 actors of the educational community (teachers, families, students, administrative staff of District Educational Institutions, hereinafter IED, and officials related to the public policy of education in Bogota).
In Colombia, inclusive education is promoted as a fundamental right as a result of the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, supported by regulations such as Decree 1421 of 2017, however its effective implementation faces multiple barriers that hinder the educational trajectories of children and youth with disabilities.
This characterization seeks to identify the barriers faced by students with disabilities to access education, from the perspective of the educational community.
Through a historical-hermeneutic approach and action research, using semi-structured surveys, direct interviews and focus groups, the comprehensive analysis of this research confirms the presence of multiple barriers in the inclusive education of students with disabilities in Bogota.
However, beyond the individual characterization of these barriers, a revealing conclusion emerges, which is that the attitudinal barrier is positioned as the transversal axis that intensifies all other barriers, highlighting the need for a real co-responsibility among all educational actors to minimize the challenges of access, permanence and promotion of the country's educational system
Contractual savings institutions and banks'stability and efficiency
No full textThe authors analyze the relationship between the development of contractual savings institutions and banks'efficiency, credit, and liquidity risks. They discuss the potential mechanisms through which the development of contractual savings institutions may affect the banking sector. They show that the development of contractual savings institutions has a significant impact on bank spreads and loan maturity. After controlling for banks'characteristics, macroeconomic factors, and more standard indicators of financial development, they show that the development of contractual savings institutions is associated with increased efficiency of the banking system and greater resilience to credit and liquidity risks.Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Theory&Research,Financial Intermediation,Insurance&Risk Mitigation,Contractual Savings,Banks&Banking Reform,Financial Intermediation,Economic Theory&Research,Insurance&Risk Mitigation
The East Asia crisis and corporate finances : the untold micro story
No full textExplanations of the causes of the Asian crisis have focused on macroeconomic factors leading to the crisis. This paper offers a complementary corporate distress perspective linking the crisis to corporate finances. Key ratios for companies in various countries are presented in the paper. The global benchmarking imposes a consistent cross-border analysis of financial risk and performance, and sheds light on the crisis. The study provides a statistical review of the financial practices and performance of corporates in Asia: Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand benchmarked against financials of corporates in other countries: Latin America, and industrialized countries: France, Germany, Japan and USA. A thematic point that comes across in all the results of the corporate financial analysis is unsustainable rapid (and probably excessive) investment in fixed assets financed by excessive borrowing in some Asian countries- e.g., Indonesia, Korea and Thailand. The East Asian investment-spending spree resulted in poor profitability, reflected in low, and declining return on equity, and return on capital employed. It leads to the conclusion that at the core of the corporate crisis were financial excesses that violated prudent financial practices, and eventually lead to the inevitable financial distress we are witnessing. Therefore, the empirical findings presented in the paper lend credence to the view advanced by Krugman that crony capitalism was at the core of the crisis. Crony capitalism was manifested in supportive bad policies-e.g., implicit government guarantees, and poor banking supervision- that lead to poor credit allocation decisions in the banking dominated financial system. Preliminary findings suggest as well vast differences in Economic Value Added between countries- developing and developed alike. The conclusions from an economic value added approach indicate that in an era of increasing capital mobility, corporates are not adhering to global standards in creating shareholder value. The analysis leads to policy conclusions.Banks&Banking Reform,Payment Systems&Infrastructure,Economic Theory&Research,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Environmental Economics&Policies,Financial Intermediation,Economic Theory&Research,Banks&Banking Reform,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Environmental Economics&Policies
Architecture for logic programing with arrangements of finite-state machines
No full textWe incorporate logic programs (in particular Prolog) into reactive systems. We do this using Logic-labeled finitestate machines (LLFSMs), whose non-event-driven nature results in a deterministic schedule. We also advocate the use of a middleware under the Pull-approach, as opposed to the, currently very common, Push-approach, achieving deterministic semantics and the ability to ensure correctness in both the time and value domains. The deterministic schedule has other advantages, such as bounded resource use for inter-process communication as well as a smaller state space for formal verification. We demonstrate this architecture through a simple case study, contrasting the current prevalent Push approach in ROS [1] with the Pull approach recommended for LLFSMs.Griffith Sciences, School of Information and Communication TechnologyNo Full Tex
