Article / Military personnel deployed to the Amazon Basin are at high risk for cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL). We responded to an outbreak among Peruvian Army personnel returning from short-term training in the Amazon, conducting active case detection, lesion sample collection, and risk factor assessment. The attack rate was 25% (76/303); the incubation period was 2–36 weeks (median = 8). Most cases had one lesion (66%), primarily ulcerative (49%), and in the legs (57%). Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identified Leishmania (Viannia) braziliensis (59/61 = 97%) and L. (V.) guyanensis (2/61 = 3%). Being male (risk ratio [RR] = 4.01; P = 0.034), not wearing long-sleeve clothes (RR = 1.71; P = 0.005), and sleeping in open rooms (RR = 1.80; P = 0.009) were associated with CL. Sodium stibogluconate therapy had a 41% cure rate, less than previously reported in Peru (70%; P < 0.001). After emphasizing pre-deployment education and other basic prevention measures, trainees in the following year had lower incidence (1/278 = 0.4%; P < 0.001). Basic prevention can reduce CL risk in deployed militaries.

Desde muy chico he estado involucrado en este mundo del Caballo Peruano de Paso y he sido participe de numerosos concursos, además, de la crianza. Con el pasar de los años vi disfrutar a mucha gente de su espectáculo y elegancia. Sin embargo, entendí que con los escasos recursos que se tienen y la poca difusión, nuestro Caballo Peruano de Paso a pesar de ser el mejor caballo de silla del mundo, nunca llegaría a ser reconocido realmente. Es así, como nace la idea de crear una Escuela de Chalanes en Lurín. Un lugar con historia, con un clima y entorno ideal, pero, sobre todo, un lugar donde se vive y se concentra la pasión por este animal. De esta manera, la investigación parte del marco teórico, por enseñar un poco la historia y las raíces del porvenir de esta crianza. Luego, el estudio de los proyectos referenciales que sirvieron para tener una primera base de lo que se pretendía hacer. En consiguiente, el estudio del lugar, el usuario y el programa arquitectónico para llegar a cumplir con las exigencias de este reto. Dicho esto, el tema a tratar en este proyecto de grado es la apuesta por la mejoría a la difusión del Caballo Peruano de Paso, creando una Escuela de Chalanes como ya antes dicho, pero, trabajando en los espacios de encuentro e integración entre los diferentes usuarios para que así los usuarios intercambien conocimientos. / Since very young I became involved in this word of the Peruvian Horse and I have participated in numerous competitions as well as breeding. In the past years, I saw many people enjoying this show and the steadily elegance of this beast. However, I understood that with the limited resources we have, joined with the poor show off of this breed: despite of being a unique breed in the world, this passion would never become truly recognized as it should. So, the idea of having a Riding School in Lurin appeared. In a location that has history, amazing surroundings, good climate and more over in a place where people breathe and live this passion. In this way, research starts from the theoretical frame, teaching a little of history, evolution and roots of this breed. Then, the study of referential projects that despite of not being directly related help us to have an inside of what we were intending to do. In consequence, the study of the place, the user, the architectural program to reach a final result that suited the needs of these subject. With that said, the issue to be addressed in this graduation project is the commitment to improve the show off of the Peruvian Paso horse by creating a school of Chalanes as said before. But this time working in encounter an integration places where between users would share and learn their knowledge and points of view creating a complete experience. / Trabajo de suficiencia profesional

Este trabalho procura mostrar a formação de uma cultura política, no contexto peruano do século XX, a partir da análise de uma parte significativa da imprensa nacional. Constata-se que as diferentes abordagens produzidas pelos segmentos políticos mais importantes, a oligarquia peruana e o Partido Aprista Peruano, contribuíram decisivamente para a proliferação de valores, conceitos e práticas políticas autoritárias, radicais e mesmo violentas através de seus principais veículos de comunicação, respectivamente, os jornais El Comercio e La Tribuna. São, inclusive, co-responsáveis pela frequente imposição de regimes anômalos, como ditaduras civis e militares. Restringindo a pesquisa aos momentos nos quais a liberdade de expressão permitiu o convívio legalizado de ambos periódicos, especialmente entre os anos de 1931/1932 e 1945/1948, estabelece-se uma comparação integral dos conteúdos publicados, percorrendo a trajetória que levou à fixação dos posicionamentos daqueles agentes políticos, sua importância no comportamento político e mesmo o desdobramento das influências por eles exercidas em períodos posteriores. / This work presents the formation of a political culture in the Peruvian context of the 20th century from an analysis of a significant part of the national press. The different approaches used by the most important political segments, the Peruvian oligarchy and the Partido Aprista Peruano, contributed decisively to widespread values, concepts and radical, authoritarian and even violent political practices through the main press, respectively the newspapers El Comercio and La Tribuna. Both were co-responsible for the frequent imposition of anomalous regimes such as military and civil dictatorships. Narrowing the scope of the research to the periods in which freedom of speech enabled the legal co-existence of both newspapers, especially between 1931/1932 and 1945/1948, it is possible to compare the content published to understand the establishment of these two political agents, their importance in the national political behavior as well as the unfolding of their political influences later on in history.

For example, accident rates are critical because they affect company ratings in the stock market (Standard & Poors). Considering that the corporate image is directly related to its stakeholders, this study conducts an accident analysis using quantitative and qualitative methods. In this way, the contingency rate is controlled, mitigated, and prevented while serving the needs) of the stakeholders. The Bayesian network method contributes to decision-making through a set of variables and the dependency relationships between them, establishing an earlier probability of unknown variables. Bayesian models have different applications, such as diagnosis, classification, and decision, and establish relationships among variables and cause–effect links. This study uses Bayesian inference to identify the various patterns that influence operator accident rates at a contractor mining company, and therefore, study and assess the possible differences in its future operations.

El propósito de la presente investigación es identificar las variables que impulsan la expansión internacional de franquicias peruanas del sector gastronómico a Latinoamérica. Asimismo, busca conocer si existe un impacto positivo de las variables sobre la intensidad de expansión de las franquicias peruanas en Latinoamérica del sector gastronómico al 2020. Para lograr estos objetivos se consideraron las siguientes variables: La experiencia franquiciando, el conocimiento de marca, la atractividad del concepto de negocio y la efectividad de la adaptación del concepto de negocio. Para el análisis de intensidad también fueron considerados cuatro indicadores como lo con los años operando como franquicia en Latinoamérica, las unidades franquiciadas en Latinoamérica, la cantidad de países en los que la marca tiene presencia como franquicia y el promedio de unidades franquiciadas en Latinoamérica por país. Esta investigación usa un análisis mixto. Para el análisis cualitativo se hizo uso de herramientas entrevistas semi-estructuradas a expertos del sector. Para la parte cuantitativa se hizo uso de un análisis de regresión logística para el objetivo de la identificación de variables que impulsan la expansión y un análisis de regresión lineal múltiple para medir el impacto de las variables en la intensidad de expansión de las franquicias. Los resultados concluyeron a las variables de experiencia franquiciando y conocimiento de marca como impulsoras de la expansión de franquicias en Latinoamérica al 2020. Como segunda conclusión se identificó a la variable experiencia franquiciando como la única que tiene un efecto en la intensidad de expansión internacional de franquicias del sector gastronomía. / The purpose of this research is to identify the variables that drive the international expansion of Peruvian franchises in the gastronomic sector to Latin America. Moreover, it determines if there is a positive impact of the variables on the intensity of expansion of Peruvian franchises in Latin America in the gastronomic sector by 2020. To achieve these objectives, the following variables will be considered: franchising experience, brand awareness, attraction of the business concept and effectiveness of the adaptation of the business concept. For the intensity analysis, there were also four indicators like years operating as a franchise in Latin America, franchised units in Latin America, the number of countries in which the brand has a franchise presence and the average number of franchised units in Latin America by country. This research uses mixed analysis. For the quantitative research, a Logistic Regression analysis was used in order to identifying the variables that drive expansion and a Multiple Regression Analyses to measure the impact of the variables on the intensity of expansion of franchises. The results concluded with the variables of franchising experience and brand value as drivers of franchise expansion in Latin America. As a second conclusion, the variable franchising experience was identified as the only one that has an effect on the intensity of international expansion of franchises in the gastronomy sector. / Tesis
