El Proyecto CHAVIMOCHIC, aporta un beneficio a la sociedad en niveles de desarrollo, pero una contraparte es el cambio de las propiedades de los suelos circundantes que se generan como consecuencia de estas actividades. Particularmente, en este caso, la afectación es el incremento del nivel freático, esto ocasiona que los cimientos de las estructuras de viviendas, templos, santuarios, ruinas, complejos arqueológicos, entre otros; se encuentren propensos al colapso por la poca capacidad de carga admissible de sus suelos areno limosos. Para identificar el nivel de impacto de esta afectación se recopiló: estudios de suelos, perfiles estratigráficos, registros de niveles freáticos y planos históricos de las ruinas Chan Chan; además, de la realización de una calicata, para, aplicando las metodologías de Terzaghi, Meyerhof y Hansen, determinar el máximo valor de la capacidad de carga admisible de los suelos influenciados por la variación del nivel freático. A partir de estos estudios y análisis se identificó, que el nivel freático alcanza 0.80 m de profundidad, con ello la capacidad de carga que ofrecen estos suelos es 1.20 kg/cm2; por otra parte, la estimación de equilibrio límite indica que si el nivel freático asciende a 0.40 m de profundidad, la capacidad de carga del suelo disminuye soportando 1.17 kg/cm2. Finalmente, con la intención de perpetuar en condiciones óptimas las estructuras edificadas sobre estos suelos, citando mayor importancia en las ruinas Chan Chan, se propone dos soluciones geotécnicas con el fin de mantener el nivel freático a una profundidad tal que no afecte dichas estructuras. / The CHAVIMOCHIC project, provides a benefit to society at the levels development, but a counterpart is the change in the properties of the surrounding soils, that generated as a consequence to these activities. Particularly, in this case, the affectation is the increase of the groundwater level, this causes that foundations of the structures of the houses, the temples, the sanctuaries, the ruins, the archaeological complexes, among others thins; They can be found prone to collapse due to the low admisible for the allowable bearing capacity of their sandy soils. To identify the level of impact of this affectation, we collected: soil testing, stratigraphic profiles, records of groundwater levels and historical plans of the Chan Chan ruin; in addition, of the realization of a pit, for applying the methodologies of Terzaghi, Meyerhof and Hansen, determine the maximum value of the admissible load capacity of the soils influenced by the variation of the groundwater level. Based on these studies and analysis, it was identified that the groundwater level reaches 0.80 m deep, which means a load of 1.20 kg / cm2; On the other hand, the limit equilibrium rate indicates that the water table rises to 0.40 m depth, the load capacity of the soil is supporting 1.17 kg / cm2. Finally, with the intention of perpetuating under optimal conditions the structures built on these soils, citing greater importance in the Chan Chan ruins, geotechnical solutions are proposed in order to maintain the water table at a depth such that it does not affect the structures. / Tesis

La cultura Chimú es muy diferente al resto de culturas pre-incas. Mientras la mayoría de ellas adoraban al sol, los chimúes ponían especial énfasis en las estrellas y la luna. En base a ellas edificaron su cosmología, su orden social y su arquitectura, sin embargo no existen referencias a ello ni en la zona arqueológica, ni en el museo local. Un proyecto que permita mantener viva la cultura local y aumentar el entendimiento de la cultura Chimú sin competir con el museo ya existente se entiende necesario. Teniendo en cuenta todas estas variables un Centro de Interpretación es la mejor respuesta. / Chimor culture is very different from the rest of pre-Inca cultures. While most of them worshiped the sun, the Chimor placed special emphasis on the stars and the moon. They built their cosmology, their social order and their architecture based on them, however there are no references to it neither in the archaeological zone nor in the local museum. A project that allows keeping the local culture alive and increasing the understanding of the Chimor culture without competing with the existing museum is necessary. Taking into account all these factors, an Interpretation Center is the best answer. / Tesis

The Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) saw China transition from the medieval to the early modern period. This transition was marked by rampant piracy, a boom in book publishing, and other developments that challenged traditional social and economic habits, thereby forcing China to evolve. Buddhism during the time was similarly stressed, facing government suppression early in the Ming, and facing steeper competition for donations and patronage throughout the dynasty. In response, Ming Buddhism adapted itself to the changing times in numerous ways: the rise of lay societies and an increase in devotional practice being two important examples. One of the most prominent figures of late Ming Buddhism is Yunqi Zhuhong (1535-1615). In 1587 Zhuhong wrote the "Fanwangjing xindipin pusajie yishu fayin," a commentary on the Brahma Net Sutra, which contains a list of ten major and forty-eight minor "bodhisattva precepts" taken by both lay and monastic Buddhists in East Asia. Therefore, Zhuhong's commentary allowed him to interpret the common moral framework of all Buddhists in his local and extended community. This dissertation offers a translation and analysis of key portions of Zhuhong's commentary on the Brahma Net Sutra in order to understand his philosophy of violence. By unearthing Zhuhong's arguments regarding when killing is or is not acceptable this dissertation aims to begin bringing Chinese philosophies of violence into conversation with western just war thought. Additionally, Zhuhong's philosophy of violence demonstrates what I term "Chan realism," which is an amalgam of moral and political realism. Understanding Zhuhong's philosophy of violence therefore also allows us to better understand the competing religious and political loyalties faced by those living in the late Ming. Lastly, by translating Zhuhong's philosophy of violence and analyzing his realism, this dissertation aims to increase our understanding of the novelty and innovation occurring within Chinese Buddhism during the Ming Dynasty.
