El presente trabajo de investigación pretende encontrar el diseño de un concreto permeable con la mejor relación agua/cemento, para ser usado en vías peatonales y de bajo tránsito. Además, busca demostrar que su empleo en zonas lluviosas reduce el volumen pluvial y atenúa el impacto que se produce en las poblaciones urbanas, como la ciudad de Huaraz, en las que existen continuas inundaciones debidas al uso de técnicas y métodos que provocan la impermeabilización del suelo. Se ejecutaron ensayos en laboratorio sobre la base de tres muestras con relaciones agua/cemento de 0.30, 0.35 y 0.40. Luego de someterlas a pruebas de compresión simple, flexión y permeabilidad, se encontró que el diseño que cumple con las mejores características es el de relación agua/cemento 0.30. Se concluye que, para la realidad problemática descrita, el uso de un concreto permeable con dicha relación es viable en tanto este posee un coeficiente de permeabilidad k de 0.44 mm/s o 0.44 x 10-3 m/s., que se equipara a un suelo de arena limpia con mezcla de grava y se comporta como un suelo granular. Por lo tanto, contribuirá a absorber las escorrentías, incluso en zonas con una pendiente pronunciada. / The present research work aims to find the design of a permeable concrete, with the best water/cement ratio to be used in pedestrian and low-traffic pavements. In addition, it seeks to demonstrate that use in rainy areas reduces the rainfall volume and attenuate the impact that occurs in urban populations, such as the city of Huaraz, where there are continuous floods due to the use of techniques and methods that cause the waterproofing of the soil. Laboratory tests were performed on the basis of three samples with water/cement ratios of 0.30, 0.35 and 0.40. After undergoing tests of simple compression, bending and permeability, it was found that the design that meets the best characteristics is the one of water/cement ratio 0.30. It is concluded that, for the problematic reality described, the use of a permeable concrete with this relationship is feasible as it has a permeability coefficient k of 0.44 mm/s or 0.44 x 10-3 m/s, which sand equates to a clean sand soil with gravel mixture. Therefore, it will help absorb runoffs, even in areas with a steep slope. / Tesis

Le syndrome génito-urinaire de la ménopause (SGUM) engendre des symptômes importants et des impacts considérables sur la qualité de vie et la fonction sexuelle des femmes post-ménopausées. Les traitements actuels sont efficaces pour soulager un grand nombre de femmes. Toutefois, dans certains cas, ils ne pas soulagent pas tous les symptômes, peuvent entraîner des effets indésirables et être contre-indiqués. Il apparaît alors nécessaire d’identifier des traitements alternatifs ou complémentaires pour le SGUM. Ce projet avait pour but d’approfondir les connaissances sur l’utilisation d’un programme d’exercices des muscles du plancher pelvien (EMPP) pour le traitement du SGUM chez des femmes post-ménopausées. Les objectifs principaux étaient: 1) évaluer les qualités psychométriques d’outils de mesure nécessaires à l’étude du SGUM, 2) étudier la faisabilité et les effets d’un programme d’EMPP auprès de femmes post-ménopausées atteintes du SGUM et 3) investiguer les mécanismes d’action potentiels des EMPP sur le SGUM. Trois projets distincts ont été élaborés dans le cadre de cette thèse. Le premier a permis d’explorer les effets des EMPP sur le SGUM au moyen de l’étude du cas d’une femme post-ménopausée. Suite à l’intervention, les signes et symptômes du SGUM du cas à l’étude se sont améliorés, en plus de leurs impacts sur la qualité de vie et la fonction sexuelle. À la lumière de ces résultats, des hypothèses sur les mécanismes d’action responsables des effets positifs ont été émises, dont une était l’amélioration de la vascularisation vulvovaginale. Le deuxième projet visait donc à évaluer la fidélité de la mesure de la vascularisation d’artères liées aux tissus vulvovaginaux, soit les artères pudendale interne et dorsale du clitoris, à l’aide de l’échographie Doppler. Les résultats recueillis auprès de 20 femmes sans condition urogynécologique ont appuyé la fidélité test-retest de ces mesures. Pour le troisième projet, 32 femmes post-ménopausées atteintes du SGUM ont participé à deux évaluations pré-intervention, un programme d’EMPP de 12 semaines et une évaluation post-intervention. Les évaluations pré-intervention ont permis de confirmer les qualités psychométriques d’outils de mesure du SGUM (Most Bothersome Symptom Approach et Atrophy Symptom questionnaire) en plus de confirmer la fidélité test-retest de la mesure de la vascularisation des artères pudendale interne et dorsale du clitoris à l’aide de l’échographie Doppler chez cette population. Suite à l’intervention, les résultats supportaient la faisabilité d’un programme d’EMPP auprès de femmes post-ménopausées atteintes du SGUM, de par des taux élevés de ii participation à l’intervention et de complétion de l’étude. Les résultats supportaient également l’effet positif de cette intervention en démontrant une diminution significative de la sévérité des symptômes du SGUM, de certains signes du SGUM et de leurs impacts sur leur qualité de vie et leur fonction sexuelle. Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent également l’augmentation de la vascularisation vulvovaginale, l’amélioration de la capacité de relâchement des MPP et l’augmentation de l’élasticité des tissus vulvovaginaux comme mécanismes d’actions potentiels d’un programme d’EMPP chez les femmes post-ménopausées atteintes du SGUM. Des études ultérieures devront confirmer nos résultats. / Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) causes significant symptoms and considerable impacts on the quality of life and sexual function of postmenopausal women. Current treatments are effective in alleviating the symptoms of many women. However, in some cases, they do not relieve all symptoms, and may cause side effects and be contraindicated. In these cases, it is necessary to identify alternative or complimentary treatments for GSM. The purpose of this project was to increase knowledge on the use of a pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) program for the treatment of GSM in postmenopausal women. The main objectives were to: 1) evaluate the psychometric qualities of the measurement tools needed to study GSM, 2) study the feasibility and effects of a PFME program in postmenopausal women with GSM, and 3) investigate the potential mechanisms of action of PFME on GSM. Three separate projects were developed for this thesis. The first project was a case study involving a postmenopausal woman, which provided an exploration of the effects of PPME on GSM. In this case study, the woman’s signs and symptoms of GSM improved, as well as her quality of life and sexual function. Considering these results, hypotheses were proposed on the mechanisms of action responsible for the positive effects of PPME on GMS, one of which was the improvement of vulvovaginal vascularization. The second project aimed to assess the accuracy of the measurement of the vascularization of arteries related to vulvovaginal tissues, namely the internal pudendal and dorsal arteries of the clitoris, using Doppler ultrasound. Results from 20 women without urogynecological conditions supported the test-retest reliability of these measurements. For the third project, 32 postmenopausal women with GSM participated in two pre-intervention assessments, a 12-week PFME program, and a post-intervention assessment. The pre-intervention assessments confirmed the psychometric qualities of GSM measurement tools (the Most Bothersome Symptom Approach and the Atrophy Symptom Questionnaire) and the test-retest reliability of the measurement of the vascularization of the internal pudendal and dorsal clitoral artery in this population using Doppler ultrasound. Following the intervention, the results supported the feasibility of a PFME program in postmenopausal women with GSM, due to high rates of participation in the intervention and completion of the study. The results also supported the positive effect of this intervention by demonstrating a significant reduction in the severity of GSM symptoms, certain signs of GSM, and their impact on their quality of life and sexual function. Finally, the results of this study suggest an increase in vulvovaginal vascularization, an improvement in the ability to relax the pelvic floor muscles and an increase in the elasticity of vulvovaginal tissues as potential mechanisms of action of a PFME program in postmenopausal women with GSM. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

The thesis deals with the refrigeration systems. It analyzes ways to optimize the refrigeration process and the associated energy savings. In a practical application on an industrial building where there is the need of cooling the machinery, it compares the reference system with another two optimized alternatives. The heat recovery alternative supports heating and hot water supply and the water-side free cooling alternative lowers the energy consumption during the cold period of the year. The experimental section assesses the suitability of floor cooling in relation to the stratification of air temperature along the height of the room and the effect on thermal comfort of people.
