Anàlisi predictiva d'una sèrie temporal mitjançant models clàssics: Aplicació del model Deep Learning Prophet, i Looker com a eina de visualització
No full text[ES] El inicio de este proyecto tendrá una base común en la parte de modelos clásicos, compartida con Jose Antonio Amores Coscollá. El trabajo se diferenciará en la parte de modelado Deep Learning y técnicas de visualización. Dentro de una institución financiera existe un problema de asignación de personal, esta subcontrata a una empresa de Data & Analytics, de la cual el autor de este trabajo y Jose Antonio Amores Coscollá forman parte.
Siguiendo la metodología CRISP-DM se aplicará cada uno de los procedimientos correspondientes. Tras conocer la problemática de negocio y analizar los datos recopilados, se realizará un estudio de los diferentes modelos clásicos así como el modelo Deep Learning, con el objetivo de escoger el mejor tras comparar todos ellos según la métrica de RMSE. La aplicación de los modelos predictivos facilitará la asignación de los recursos humanos en el ámbito de una institución financiera.
Para la elaboración de este trabajo se usará como lenguaje de programación Python con sus librerías: Pandas,NumPy,Scikit y Prophet entre otras. Para presentar las conclusiones obtenidas, se creará un cuadro de reporting en la herramienta de visualización Looker.
El objetivo de este trabajo es poder ofrecer una solución a la institución financiera para poder asignar de forma óptima el personal necesario en los meses venideros.[EN] The beginning of this project will have a common base shared with Jose Antonio Amores Coscollá regarding classical prediction models. This thesis will differentiate itself in the part of Deep Learning modeling techniques and visualization techniques. A financial institution has a human resource allocation issue, to resolve this it hires a consulting firm specialized in Data & Analytics which the author of this thesis and Jose Antonio Amores Cososllá belongs to.
CRISP-DM methodology will be applied. After getting to know the business problematic and analyzing the initial data a study will be conducted using the classical models and Deep Learning model, with the objective of choosing the best model using the RMSE metric. The application of the predictive models will facilitate the assignment of human resources within the financial institution.
Python will be chosen for the elaboration of this project along with its libraries including: Pandas,NumPy,Scikit y Prophet and others. A reporting dashboard will be used to present the conclusion using Looker.
The objective of this project is to offer a solution to the financial institution so that it can assign the optimal human resources in the upcoming months.Vidorreta Fuster, PJ. (2023).

Public duty and private interest: report of the Committee of Inquiry established by the Prime Minister on 15 February 1978
No full textThis was the first report to set out the principles that underpin public servants\u27 and politicians\u27 obligations to disclose and manage conflicts of interest.
Tabled in 1979, this is the first time a digitised version of this report, known as the \u27Bowen report\u27, has been made publically available.
The intention to establish this inquiry was announced in a press statement issued by the then Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser on 16 December 1977. The statement mentioned the difficult position in which a Prime Minister finds himself when he is called upon to pass judgment on colleagues with whom he has worked closely, particularly as the Prime Minister must act as a judge and jury when allegations of impropriety are raised.
Fraser expressed his disatisfaction with a previous inquiry on the topic, conducted by a Parliamentary committee. He stated that he would instead he would appoint a judge or Queen\u27s Counsel, to be assisted by a businessman and an accountant, to carry out a new inquiry.
On 15 February 1978 Fraser stated that the new inquiry would be conducted by the Chief Judge of the Federal Court of Australia, the Hon. Sir Nigel Bowen, K.B.E., as well as Sir Cecil Looker, and Sir Edward Cain, C.B.E.
The terms of reference were:
1. To recommend whether a statement of principles can be drawn up on the nature of private interests, pecuniary or otherwise, which could conflict with the public duty of any or all persons holding positions of public trust in relation to the Commonwealth.
2. To recommend whether principles can be defined which would promote the avoidance and if necessary the resolution of any conflicts of interest which the Inquiry may, under paragraph (1) above, find to be possible.
3. In the event of a finding under paragraph (2) above that principles can be defined, to recommend what those principles should be.
4. Without limiting the scope of paragraph (3) above, to recommend whether or not a register under judicial or other supervision should be maintained so that, in the event of allegations of impropriety, the allegation may be open to judicial investigation and report.
5. For the purposes of paragraph(1) above, \u27persons holding positions of public trust in relation to the Commonwealth\u27 to include the following:
(a) Ministers;
(b) Senators and Members of the House of Representatives;
(c) Staff of (a) and (b);
(d) Members of the Australian Public Service; and
(e) Such other persons or classes of persons which in the opinion of the Committee ought to be included.
This is the final report of the inquiry, which has helped shaped the conduct of the public service to this day.

Iron deficiency in the United States
No full text"Iron deficiency is the most common known form of nutritional deficiency. Its prevalence is highest among young children and women of childbearing age (particularly pregnant women). In children, iron deficiency causes developmental delays and behavioral disturbances, and in pregnant women, it increases the risk for a preterm delivery and delivering a low-birthweight baby. In the past three decades, increased iron intake among infants has resulted in a decline in childhood iron-deficiency anemia in the United States. As a consequence, the use of screening tests for anemia has become a less efficient means of detecting iron deficiency in some populations. For women of childbearing age, iron deficiency has remained prevalent. To address the changing epidemiology of iron deficiency in the United States, CDC staff in consultation with experts developed new recommendations for use by primary health-care providers to prevent, detect, and treat iron deficiency. These recommendations update the 1989 "CDC Criteria for Anemia in Children and Childbearing-Aged Women" (MMWR 1989;38(22):400-4) and are the first comprehensive CDC recommendations to prevent and control iron deficiency. CDC emphasizes sound iron nutrition for infants and young children, screening for anemia among women of childbearing age, and the importance of low-dose iron supplementation for pregnant women." - p. 1Includes bibliographical references (p. 25-29).April 3, 1998"The following CDC staff prepared this report: Ray Yip, M.
