Configuración de la prueba pericial en el proceso penal colombiano

Abstract: As a result of law 906/2004, the probative system in criminal matters suffered considerable changes not only in procedural order, which are detectable to the naked eye, but mainly ideological changes that replaced the basis of principles of the previous legislation. This article, having the direction of the probative principles of the current criminal procedure system in Colombia, position taken by the Supreme Court of Justice and the doctrine, aims to determine the budgets of existence or validity of the expert evidence. Even though the expert report is a necessary element, or in words of Justice Supreme Court a "germ of test", for the future formation of the expert test in the audience of spoken trial –because it allows the suitable exercise of rights such as confrontation, contradiction and defense− its constitution and content depend exclusively on the declaration of the expert in the audience.

Reporte de 4 casos COVID-19 hospitalizados en unidad de cuidados intensivos en una institución hospitalaria en Barranquilla, Colombia

Abstract: To present a COVID-19 case series with clinical admission criteria to Intensive Care Unit. Patients information was obtained from medical records, and daily clinical evaluation whereas diagnosis was carried out through paraclinical studies in blood, urine, PCR and diagnostic images in 4 patients with different comorbidities and epidemiological link for the development of COVID-19. All four cases were managed with chloroquine 300 mg orally every 12 hours and azithromycin orally every 24 hours for 5 days without complications or associated toxicity.The case 1 developed multiple organ failure, including acute kidney injury with an ICU stay of 4 days before his death, while cases 2, 3 and 4 had a favorable evolution and were discharged fromthe ICU. Rapid multicenter studies are required to scientifically guide a better diagnostic and management approach, in the context of a disease with a clinical-epidemiological behavior that must be studied in depth and will probably take many lives. In addition, due to the absence of sufficiently rapid tests, the use of a classification based on the severity of radiological lesions called CO-RADS (Covid-19 Imaging Reporting and Data System) could be of great importance to install available pharmacological treatments early and early mechanical respiratory support.

Uso de Realidad Aumentada para Enseñanza de Conceptos Básicos de Física Mecánica

Abstract: La evolucion del modelo educativo apoyado por TIC ha pasado de usar tecnologias transmisivas donde se realizaba una transferencia de informacion bajo control del instructor a usar tecnologias interactivas donde se busca la adquisicion de habilidades bajo control total del alumno. Este articulo expone como la Realidad Aumentada, siendo una tecnologia interactiva que permite integrar contenidos digitales con el mundo real puede ayudar a mejorar la adquisicion de conocimientos en el area de Fisica Mecanica a nivel universitario y propone una especificacion de requerimientos que sirve de base para el diseno y desarrollo de un programa de software que cumpla con tal fin.

Análisis de islas de calor por medio de imágenes satelitales y sistemas de información geográficos en el área urbana de la Sabana de Bogotá

Abstract: espanolEn esta investigacion, los datos relacionados con la temperatura superficial (LST) recopilados del satelite Landsat 8 se compararon con los datos de temperatura seleccionados de las estaciones de superficie, ubicadas en la sabana de Bogota, para identificar islas de calor urbanas. Se recorto el area de estudio de la imagen satelital para procesar las bandas del espectro 10, 4 y 5, usando un algoritmo de temperatura superficial para recolectar el mapeo satelital. Al mismo tiempo, estos datos se analizaron estadisticamente como espacialmente considerando la distancia y la elevacion de las estaciones interpolando con el metodo de Cokriging y el software ArcGIS 10.3®, detectando espacialmente la geometria de las islas en zonas de alta urbanizacion, obteniendo la temperatura de pixeles y comparandolo con los datos de la estacion de superficie, encontrando diferencias entre la temperatura en zonas urbanas comunmente con mas vegetacion y los dos metodos utilizados para este estudio. EnglishIn this research, the importance of remote sensors in the delimitation of the urban heat islands is denoted. These being the cause of harmful effects on human health, favouring the dispersion of pollutants and extreme temperatures, among others. Landsat 8 satellite images from the United States Geological Service (USGS) were used, with a total scene size 170 x 183 km, and meteorological data from official stations. The data related to surface temperature (LST) collected from the satellite were compared with the selected temperature data in surface meteorological stations, located in the Bogota Sabena. The study area was cropped from the satellite image to process spectrum bands 10, 4 and 5, using a surface temperature algorithm to collect the satellite mapping. These data were statistically and spatially analysed considering the distance and elevation between the stations and interpolating with the cokriging method and ArcGIS 10.3® software. The geometry of the islands was spatially detected in areas of high urbanization, obtaining the pixel temperature and comparing it with the data from the surface station, finding differences between the temperature in urban areas commonly with more vegetation and the two methods used for this study.

Localización de bodegas y asignación de clientes en supermercados de Barranquilla

Abstract: Los sistemas de distribucion, localizacion y ruteo tienen importantes impactos en la competitividad de una compania, especialmente en lo relacionado con costos de transporte y niveles de servicio. Por ello, el diseno de estrategias para minimizar costos es una alternativa recomendada para las organizaciones. En este articulo se presenta un esquema sugerido de ruteo y ubicacion de centros de distribucion, para lo cual se usan algoritmos de programacion lineal y la heuristica de Gillet y Miller para una empresa que fabrica aceite de oliva y lo comercializa en cadenas de supermercados de Barranquilla, Colombia. Las tecnicas implementadas revelan como resultado la ubicacion y el dimensionamiento de un solo centro de distribucion en la zona centro, y no varios, como se esperaba. Tambien se propone un enrutamiento recomendable para cada cliente.
