Incidencia de la desmovilización de las AUC en la política de seguridad ciudadana y convivencia de Bogotá D.C durante el periodo 2004 -2013

El interés de este Estudio de Caso, tiene como objetivo analizar la incidencia de la desmovilización de las Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC) en la Política de Seguridad Ciudadana y Convivencia de Bogotá (PSCCB) durante el periodo 2004 – 2013. Se identifica y analiza, cómo se incluyó un programa para desmovilizados en la Política de Seguridad Ciudadana y Convivencia; además de la reconfiguración de las estructuras del crimen organizado tras dicha desmovilización. Lo anterior, para explicar el aumento de los delitos de alto impacto y la percepción de inseguridad en la capital durante este periodo de tiempo.

Principios de la contratación estatal aplicables a los reglamentos especiales de contratación de la agencia nacional de hidrocarburos

El estatuto de contratación administrativa (Ley 80 de 1993 y Ley 1150 de 2007) por regla general regula todos los negocios jurídicos que surgen de la actividad de la Administración Pública, pero teniendo en cuenta las actividades que desarrollan algunas entidades del Estado esta regla tiende a presentar excepciones, como es el caso de aquellas Entidades que tienen por objeto la Exploración y Explotación de los Recursos Naturales renovables y no renovables. El principal actor del régimen excepcional de contratación para la exploración y explotación de hidrocarburos es la Agencia Nacional de Hidrocarburos (ANH), el cual cuenta con dos reglamentos de contratación especial para la asignación de áreas y de contratación misional, en donde por disposición legal debe dar aplicación a los principios de contratación contemplados en el estatuto General de la Contratación pública (Transparencia, economía, responsabilidad y el deber de selección objetiva), este trabajo de investigación procura realizar una mirada analítica a cada procedimiento para determinar con posterioridad el grado de acatamiento de la orden legal establecida en el artículo 76 de la Ley 80 de 1993 así como sus principales falencias

Alteraciones cutáneas de miembros superiores por exposición a agroquímicos en cultivos de arroz, departamento de La Guajira 2016

Introducción: la vida, salud y trabajo del agricultor tienen sus propias particularidades, estilos y actividades, su calidad de vida puede afectarse por exponerse a sustancias químicas, convirtiéndola en una labor muy riesgosa. Objetivo: establecer la prevalencia de las alteraciones cutáneas de miembros superiores por exposición a agroquímicos en cultivos de arroz. Material y método: estudio de corte transversal, población de 100 trabajadores, ubicadas en zona rural de Fonseca La Guajira, durante el año 2016. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas, laborales y clínicas relacionadas. Para el análisis estadístico se aplicaron las pruebas de Shapiro-Wilk, Ji-Cuadrado de Pearson, medidas de asociación con OR y sus respectivos intervalos de confianza del 95%, análisis multivariado con una Regresión Logística Incondicional, nivel de significancia del 5% (p<0.05) para pruebas estadísticas. Resultados: el 98,9% fueron hombres, las edades oscilaron entre los 18 y 83 años (media de 43,7 años). El 40,91% reporto fumigar y el, 15,15% abona. Reportaron tener rinitis alérgica el 21,2%, alergia ocular 25,3%, asma 16,41%, eczemas en las manos 19,15% y ronchas o habones 17,95%; el 40,31% uso herbicidas, 8,77% fungicidas, 35,09% insecticidas, 14,04% fertilizante y 1,75% coadyuvante. La dependencia es prácticamente nula entre la aparición de eczemas y categoría toxica (p=0,021); R de Pearson (R=0,121; p=0,247) con correlación positiva; no existe una relación entre el número de personas con alergias dérmicas y la toxicidad (X2= 2,271; p=0,518), el R de Pearson (R=-0,152; p=0,150). Conclusión: la exposición a agroquímicos sin las condiciones mínimas de seguridad y salud en el trabajo, se relaciona con la aparición de alteraciones cutáneas.

Thermal studies of D.C. traction motors

This paper describes a thorough thermal study on a fleet of DC traction motors which were found to suffer from overheating after 3 years of full operation. Overheating of these traction motors is attributed partly because of the higher than expected number of starts and stops between train terminals. Another probable cause of overheating is the design of the traction motor and/or its control strategy. According to the motor manufacturer, a current shunt is permanently connected across the motor field winding. Hence, some of the armature current is bypassed into the current shunt. The motor then runs above its rated speed in the field weakening mode. In this study, a finite difference model has been developed to simulate the temperature profile at different parts inside the traction motor. In order to validate the simulation result, an empty vehicle loaded with drums of water was also used to simulate the full pay-load of a light rail vehicle experimentally. The authors report that the simulation results agree reasonably well with experimental data, and it is likely that the armature of the traction motor will run cooler if its field shunt is disconnected at low speeds

D.c. and a.c. polarographic behaviour of vanadium-glycine complexes

A detailed investigation of the d.c. polarographic behaviour of vanadium(V),-(IV) and -(III) in glycine solutions has been made keeping the total glycine concentration at 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 M and varying the pH of the solution. Experiments keeping the pH constant (using different ratios of glycine and glycine anion) and varying the glycine anion concentration, and also in predominantly anion solutions, have been made.

Effect of substrate temperature on the properties of ZrO2 films prepared by d.c. reactive magnetron sputtering

Studies of ZrO2 films prepared by d.c. reactive magnetron sputtering are described. The effects of substrate temperature on the packing density, refractive index, extinction coefficient and crystallinity phase have been investigated in the temperature range 25–450 °C. The refractive index varied from 1.84 to 1.95 and extinction coefficient from 2 × 10−3 to 9.6 × 10−3. This was explained on the basis of an increase in packing density from 0.686 to 0.813. The change in packing density has been attributed to a decrease in the oxygen condensation at higher temperatures. Annealing results in a decrease in refractive index and increase in extinction coefficient. The films deposited at 150 °C showed a monoclinic phase which transforms to a tetragonal phase at higher substrate temperatures.

Activation barriers for d.c. conductivity in ionic glasses: Classical calculations using the small-cluster approximation

A small-cluster approximation has been used to calculate the activation barriers for the d.c. conductivity in ionic glasses. The main emphasis of this approach is on the importance of the hitherto ignored polarization energy contribution to the total activation energy. For the first time it has been demonstrated that the d.c. conductivity activation energy can be calculated by considering ionic migration to a neighbouring vacancy in a smali cluster of ions consisting of face-sharing anion polyhedra. The activation energies from the model calculations have been compared with the experimental values in the case of highly modified lithium thioborate glasses.

Kinetics of hydrogen evolution on submicron size Co, Ni, Pd and CoNi alloy powder electrodes by d.c. polarization and a.c. impedance studies

Submicron size Co, Ni and Co-Ni alloy powders have been synthesized by the polyol method using the corresponding metal malonates and Pd powder by reduction of PdOx in methanol. The kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction ( HER) in 6 M KOH electrolyte have been studied on electrodes made from the pressed powders. The d.c. polarization measurements have resulted in a value close to 120 mV decade(-1) for the Tafel slope, suggesting that the HER follows the Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism. The values of exchange current density (i(o)) are in the range 1-10 mA cm(-2) for electrodes fabricated in the study. The a.c. impedance spectra measured at several potentials in the HER region showed a single semicircle in the Nyquist plots. Exchange current density (i(o)) and energy transfer coefficient (alpha) have been calculated by employing a nonlinear least square-fitting program.

Bypass operation in bridge convertors for high-voltage d.c. transmission

Bypass operation with the aid of a special bypass valve is an important part of present-day schemes of protection for h.v. d.c. transmission systems. In this paper, the possibility of using two valves connected to any phase in the bridge convertor for the purpose of bypass operation is studied. The scheme is based on the use of logic circuits in conjunction with modified methods of fault detection. Analysis of the faults in a d.c. transmission system is carried out with the object of determining the requirements of such a logic-circuit control system. An outline of the scheme for the logic-circuit control of the bypass operation for both rectifier and invertor bridges is then given. Finally, conclusions are drawn regarding the advantages of such a system, which include reduction in the number of valves, prevention of severe faults and fast clearance of faults, in addition to the immediate location of the fault and its nature.

Un testigo directo de las tensiones religiosas en la Alejandría de los siglos IV y V D.C. : Páladas de Alejandría en la Antología Palatina

Abstract: Although he is the most prolific writer of the Greek Anthology, Palladas’ life is almost unknown. But, in spite of the limited biographical data, his work has fortunately been preserved in the GA. Because of his literary creation, the old times rewarded him with the nickname Μετέωρος, high, since the literary merits of a hundred poems of his authorship was recognized (others are discussed by critics). A dozen of them contains invaluable information about the political, religious and social situation in Alexandria immediately after the victory of the bishop Theophilus, Cyril’s predecessor and uncle, during the conflict between Christians and Gentiles, each sector backed up by an Alexandrian population segment (cfr. 9.528, 10.82, 10.85) . Resigned at times, constantly demanding, Palladas complains about the decline of the belief professed by him due to the increasing penetration of the new faith. Therefore, four epigrams record the conversion of the temple of Tyche into a tavern (9.180-183) and 10.90 seems to attack the doctrine of the Resurrection. When religion and politics go hand-in-hand, when religious conspiracies link up with palace intrigues, consequences are predictable: a man called Doroteo denounced him for his negative response to the new dogma, which caused him the loss of his teacher paid work. His annoyance was even greater with further sufferings, chiefly economic, and he had to sell his books (9.171 and 9.175) among other desperate decisions Forewarned about his radical bitterness against Church, it is just to make clear that he is not fully acquiescent with ancient gods and heroes. Thus, in 5.257 he questions Zeus’ ars amandi, in 9.377 refutes Tantalus’ possibility of thirst and hunger in Hades and 9.773 mischievously points out that Eros has been changed into a pan. The work begins with the selection, personal translation and comprehensive analysis of twenty two epigrams. Through such philological aid, we attempt to verify the frictions and the main perceptible factors in his poetic creation to justify his worldview, according to the pagan sentiment widespread in that time before the twilight already overwhelming of its ailing traditions
