Planeamiento estratégico del sistema educativo universitario privado de la región Arequipa

Mamani Sánchez, Paul Hernando, Rodríguez Tapia, Jean Carlo, Rojas Durand, Andrés 12 March 2019 (has links)
El plan estratégico elaborado para el sistema educativo universitario privado en la región Arequipa, busca priorizar las estrategias más apropiadas para el sector sobre la base de análisis internos y externos, combinación de fortalezas, debilidades, oportunidades, y amenazas, formulación de estrategias alineadas a la visión, y filtrado de cada una de las estrategias por nivel de atractividad. Luego de haber finalizado esta etapa de formulación, se ha procedido a la etapa de implementación que consiste en establecer los objetivos a corto plazo, asignar recursos, definir políticas, y proponer una nueva estructura organizacional. Finalmente, en la etapa de evaluación estratégica se han formulado los indicadores para controlar el nivel de avance en el tablero de control del Balance Scored Card. Es necesario señalar que a la fecha los diversos rankings a nivel mundial, destacan más las universidades privadas internacionales; asimismo, a nivel nacional también se presenta un notorio liderazgo de las universidades de la capital. Arequipa, como segunda ciudad del país, la cual se encuentra ubicada estratégicamente en la región sur del Perú y tiene todas las condiciones para poder crecer tanto en número de alumnos como en calidad educativa, mediante el aprovechamiento de su infraestructura, podrá lograr los objetivos que se proponga. El reto propuesto es lograr que para el año 2025, el Sistema Universitario Privado de Arequipa sea el mejor sistema universitario privado del Perú. / The strategic plan developed for the Educational System Private University in Arequipa region, searches based on internal and external analyzes, the combination of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, to formulate strategies aligned to the vision, and filtering each strategies by level of attractiveness, have the necessary support to prioritize the most appropriate strategies for the sector. Having just completed this stage of development, we have proceeded to the implementation stage which is to establish short-term goals, allocate resources, define policies and propose a new organizational structure. Finally in the strategic evaluation stage are formulated, indicators to monitor the level of progress in the control board Balance Scored Card. It should be noted that currently the global ranking, private universities are more prominent international nationally is also true that it has a notorious leader of the university in the capital. Arequipa, as second city, which is strategically located in the southern region of Peru and has all the conditions to grow both in number of students and quality education through the use of their existing infrastructure, can achieve the objectives proposed. The proposed challenge is to ensure that by 2025, the Private University System of Arequipa is the best private university system in Peru. / Tesis

Palomares-Reyes, Carlos, Silva-Caso, Wilmer, del Valle, Luis J., Aguilar-Luis, Miguel Angel, Weilg, Claudia, Martins-Luna, Johanna, Viñas-Ospino, Adriana, Stimmler, Luciana, Mallqui Espinoza, Naysha, Aquino Ortega, Ronald, Espinoza Espíritu, Walter, Misaico, Erika, del Valle-Mendoza, Juana 04 1900 (has links)
This work was supported by Cienciativa of CONCYTEC Peru, under contract number 164-2016-FONDECYT, and the Programa Nacional de Innovación para la Competitividad y Productividad (Innóvate Perú), under contract number 116-PNICP-PIAP-2015. / Background: Huánuco is a central eastern region of Peru whose geography includes high forest and low jungle, as well as a mountain range that constitutes the inter-Andean valleys. It is considered a region endemic for dengue due to the many favorable conditions that facilitate transmission of the virus. Methods: A total of 268 serum samples from patients in Huánuco, Peru with an acute febrile illness were assessed for the presence of dengue virus (DENV) via RT-PCR and NS1, IgM, and IgG ELISA during December 2015 and March 2016. Results: DENV was detected in 25% of samples via RT-PCR, 19% of samples by NS1 antigen ELISA, and 10.5% of samples by IgM ELISA. DENV IgG was detected in 15.7% of samples by ELISA. The most frequent symptoms associated with fever across all groups were headache, myalgia, and arthralgia, with no significant difference between the four test methods Conclusions: In this study, DENV was identified in up to 25% of the samples using the standard laboratory method. In addition, a correlation was established between the frequency of positive results and the serological tests that determine NS1, IgM, and IgG. There is an increasing need for point-of-care tests to strengthen epidemiological surveillance in Peru. / Revisión por pares / Revisión por pares

The power and the glory : belief, sacramentality and native Andean Catholic priests in Talavera, Peru

Lee, Christine Shen-Chirng January 2018 (has links)
In Talavera, a small town in the rural south-central Peruvian Andes, Catholicism is deeply rooted in local institutions, society and history. I explore Talaveran Catholicism primarily through the eyes of the priests and the core parish community, and in doing so seek to contribute to the anthropology of Christianity, including the anthropology of Catholicism, and the anthropology of the Andes. Engaging with dominant models in the anthropology of Christianity of Christianity as a religion of conversion and radical discontinuity, I argue that in Talavera, such models no longer ring true for local Catholics: instead, Christian conversion is long forgotten and taken for granted, while Christianity is an important source of continuity with the past. This is related to the activities of the current generation of Catholic priests in Talavera, who are locally native and who by and large tend to be more sympathetic to local Andean Catholic traditions as a result—but without subscribing to dominant anthropological framings for pro-Andean sentiment. Instead, I draw on David Brown's formulation of Christian tradition to argue for a new anthropological model views the ‘syncretic' aspects of Andean Catholicism as simply part of Catholicism in general. Following the emphasis on incorporating theology, I subsequently argue that we need to take seriously Catholic notions of sacramentality as an ontological transformation—a theme throughout the majority of the thesis. I argue that sacramentality underlies how Catholic priests can be simultaneously divine and human through the sacrament of ordination; structures clerical-lay relations in Catholic parishes by creating the space for lay assistants to carry out the work of priests without becoming priests themselves; and causes membership of the Catholic Church, thereby leaving belief to carry out the work of improving, rather than effecting, one's Catholic-ness.

Modeling of the Peru-Chile trench from wide-angle reflection profiles

Goebel, Vaughn 29 October 1973 (has links)
A proposed modeling technique that yields a best fit to observed wide-angle reflection profiles incorporates (1) the use of migrated vertical reflection profiles to provide topographic control, (2) ray tracing to produce theoretical wide-angle reflection profiles for hypothetical crustal sections, and (3) the iterative adjustment of crustal layer dip, thickness and velocity. The technique, applied to four successive wide angle reflection profiles located due west of Callao, Peru, and extending from 50 km west of to 80 km east of the axis of the Peru-Chile trench, suggests (1) that a 5 km thick oceanic crust thickens to 7 km at the trench axis, (2) that the oceanic plate underthrusts the continental plate, and (3) the existence of a previously undetected 7.8 km per sec oceanic layer. Migrated vertical reflection profiles show (1) a series of block faults across 20 km of the trench edge of the continental plate and (2) oceanic basement underthrusting 6 km of the trench edge of the continental plate. / Graduation date: 1974

Deformation in the Peru Trench, 6⁰-10⁰S

Prince, Roger Allan 28 December 1973 (has links)
Detailed surveys of several segments of the Peru Trench show that the region between 6° to 10⁰ S is an area of recent deformation. Seismic reflection records across the axis of the trench show faulting, uplift, and tilting of the sedimentary fill and the acoustic basement. Uplift of the acoustic basement beneath the trench is greatest at 7°40'S and 9°20'S where ridges are elevated above the trench floor. Turbidites occur on top of the ridge at 9°20'S and seaward of the ridge in a basin which is elevated 300 m above the main trench floor. Based upon a hemipelagic sedimentation rate of 1.7 cm/1000 yr, the age of uplift of the ridge is dated at less than 10,000 yrs. B.P. Similarly, the age of uplift of the elevated basin seaward of the ridge is dated at less than 34,000 yrs. B.P. near the ridge and at less than 53,000 yrs. B.P. at the seaward edge of the basin. The trench shoals and turns eastward as one proceeds from south to north along the axis. It divides naturally into three segments separated by the axial ridges at 7°40'S and 9°20'S. The southern segment trends N31W and has an axial depth of 6300 m; the middle segment trends N24W at 6200 m; and the northern segment trends N11W at 5800 m. The upper continental slope is characterized by submarine canyons which funnel sediments into the trench axis. The lower slope is characterized by benches. These benches may define old imbricate thrust sheets. Ridges in the axis are thought to be new imbricate thrust sheets which are forming at the boundaries between segments of the subducted lithosphere. An apparent fracture zone trending N45E enters the area from the southwest. Two turbidite basins (B1 and B2) trending N9E occur northeast of this fracture zone. Turbidite deposition ended in these basins 5100 yrs. ago. The basins intersect the trench axis just north of the ridge at 7°40'S and are presently 700 m above the trench axis. This relative difference in depth is attributed to a combination of subsidence of the trench and uplift of the oceanic plate upon initiation of thrust faulting which presumably occurred 5100 yrs. B.P. There is still insufficient data to determine the exact origin of these basins. From the regional structure, it appears that the lower continental slope of South America is underthrusting the upper continental slope along old imbricate thrust faults beneath the Peruvian continental slope. This overthrusting has caused uplift and accretion of the continental slope and shelf edge and subsidence and sediment infilling of the area between the shelf edge and the coastline. The author suggests that the seismic gap (present lack of large magnitude shallow earthquakes in this area) may be in part due to the highly fractured and deformed nature of the subducted Nazca Plate. Finally, using variable motion along old imbricate thrust faults, the imbricate thrust model provides mechanisms for reorientation of the trench and for episodic subduction of the oceanic plate beneath the trench axis. / Graduation date: 1974

Structural and stratigraphic evolution of Shira Mountains, central Ucayali Basin, Peru

Sanchez Alvarez, Jaime Orlando 15 May 2009 (has links)
The Ucayali Basin is a Peruvian sub-Andean basin that initially formed during the extensive tectonics of the Early Paleozoic. Originally, the Ucayali Basin was part of a larger basin that extended east of the current Andean chain along the Peruvian territory. Subsequently, this large basin was divided into many smaller sub-Basins during the Andean Orogeny. Today, the basin covers an area of about 140,000 km2, and it is morphologically defined by two well-differentiated structural features: the sub- Andean fold and thrust belt (SFTB) to the west and the Amazon plain and Brazilian shield to the east. It is limited to the north and south by the Contaya and Fitzcarrald Arches respectively, the Andes to the west and the Brazilian Shield to the east. These structural features acted as favorable elements to add sediments and to contribute to the structural development of this basin. The sedimentary section of the basin varies in thickness from 1 to 10 km, with ages of strata ranging from the Paleozoic to Quaternary. The strata were deposited in deep and shallow marine as well as transitional and fluvial continental environments. The most important phase of marine sedimentation was initiated with the transgression of the Cretaceous sea (Aptian –Albian) over the irregular paleogeography defined by morphologic highs and peneplains. Tectonic features of the basin show structural deformations parallel to the Andean front, where overturned structures are observed. These are commonly cut by thrusts and laterally displaced by strike-slip faults. To better understand the development of the Shira Mountains in the central part of the Ucayali Basin, the structural and stratigraphic relationships were mapped out using a dense grid of 2D seismic reflection data and well log control. Three regional EW cross sections were constructed and restored to the top of the Cretaceous to determine the nature of deformation and faulting during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic. The reconstructions show that Shira Mountains fault was initially a major normal fault bounding a half graben. The fault was reactivated by later compression as a thick-skinned thrust fault that detaches between 21 and 24 km depth. Reactivation occurred during Upper Miocene between 7.2 and 5.3 Ma, corresponding to the Quechua 3 compressive phase of Andean Orogeny. The shortening of the central Ucayali Basin determined by the reconstructed cross sections ranges between 3 and 5.5%.
