RESUMO

Currency crises have been analyzed and modeled over the last few decades. These currency crises develop mainly due to a balance of payments crisis, and in many cases, these crises lead to speculative attacks against the price of the currency. Despite the popularity of these models, they are currently shown as models with low estimation precision. In the present study, estimates are made with first- and second-generation speculative attack models using neural network methods. The results conclude that the Quantum-Inspired Neural Network and Deep Neural Decision Trees methodologies are shown to be the most accurate, with results around 90% accuracy. These results exceed the estimates made with Ordinary Least Squares, the usual estimation method for speculative attack models. In addition, the time required for the estimation is less for neural network methods than for Ordinary Least Squares. These results can be of great importance for public and financial institutions when anticipating speculative pressures on currencies that are in price crisis in the markets.

RESUMO

As one of the key systems of the marine power plant diesel engine, the turbocharger directly affects whether the diesel engine can continuously and stably provide the power required for the ship. Owing to a number of uncontrollable factors, such as harsh working conditions and complex structures, the turbocharger may have various failures, causing it to lose its intended function. At present, the fault diagnosis of the marine turbocharger has not been paid enough attention yet and in most cases, the method of 'ex post diagnosis' is still adopted. When analysing the nonlinear correspondence between the failure symptoms and failure causes, it is difficult for the existing theories to meet the actual diagnostic requirements. This paper introduces the concept of gas-path diagnosis into the condition monitoring for a marine turbocharger for the first time and proposes the flow capacity index which characterizes the flow capacity of the component and the isentropic efficiency index which characterizes the operating efficiency of the component as two dimensionless evaluation indicators for turbocharger health status. Moreover, the nonlinear mapping relationship between these two health parameters and the gas-path measurable parameters of the turbocharger is studied, and a novel performance degradation evaluation method for a turbocharger is established. The proposed method has been tested in three test cases where the degradation of a model turbocharger has been analysed. These case studies have illustrated that the proposed method can accurately isolate the degraded components and further quantify the degradation of the components.

RESUMO

Objetivos: El objetivo principal del estudio es determinar cuál es la técnica empleada en el País Vasco para practicar la conización del cuello del útero, así como el lugar más adecuado para practicar una conización (en consulta o en el quirófano), tomando como parámetro la tolerancia al dolor de la paciente, la incidencia de complicaciones inmediatas y tardías, y los resultados anatomo patológicos de los dos procedimientos. Material y métodos: Se seleccionó a 232 pacientes con un diagnóstico citológico y colposcópico de displasia cervical, que debieran estudiarse y/o tratarse mediante un procedimiento excisional del cuello uterino durante el período comprendido entre el 1 de septiembre de 2006 y el 31 de julio de 2007 en 8 hospitales del País Vasco. Resultados: El 94,8% de las conizaciones se hicieron con asa de diatermia en todos los hospitales y, excepcionalmente, con bisturí. La anestesia utilizada fue local en los hospitales terciarios y regional en los hospitales comarcales. La tolerancia al dolor en las conizaciones ambulatorias realizadas con asa de diatermia bajo anestesia local fue excelente. En el Hospital Donostia se puntuó el dolor con una escala analógica visual, logrando puntuaciones bajas concordantes con la alta satisfacción del procedimiento. La afectación de los bordes de la pieza de conización depende del grado de displasia y no de la técnica utilizada. Las complicaciones inmediatas fueron pocas, y fueron incluso menores las tardías (AU)


Objective: The main objective of this study was to evaluate the conization technique used in Basque Country hospitals and to determinate the most appropriate place to perform this procedure (outpatient clinic or operating room) by evaluating pain, early and late complications and histological results. Materials and methods: We selected 232 patients with a cytologic and colposcopic diagnosis of cervical dysplasia requiring surgical cervical conization between September 2006 and July 2007 in eight public hospitals of the Basque Country. Results: A total of 94.8% of conizations were performed with long loop excision of transformation zone (LLETZ) and, exceptionally, with cold knife conization. Local anesthesia was used in tertiary hospitals and regional anesthesia in county hospitals. Pain tolerance in outpatient conization with LLETZ under local anesthesia was excellent. In Hospital Donostia, pain was scored on a visual analogue scale and low scores were achieved, in accordance with the high degree of satisfaction obtained with the procedure. Conization margins depended on the grade of dysplasia rather than on the technique. There were few early complications and even fewer late complications. Conclusion: The LLETZ method performed under local anesthesia in the outpatient clinic is very well tolerated by patients and has few complications. Consequently, this option is a valid alternative to conization under general or regional anesthesia. The LLETZ technique provides multiple advantages for the patient and health service due to its lower cost, without medical disadvantages, and satisfactory tolerance (AU)

RESUMO

En el presente trabajo se ha determinado el status mineral de bovinos provenientes de 17 fincas de las zonas suroeste (Apure), central (Guárico) y sur (Bolívar) de Venezuela, con el fin de detectar deficiencias o toxicidades minerales. Se tomaron muestras de sangre y biopsias hepáticas durante los períodos de sequía y lluvia a un total de 374 animales en los años 1990-1992. Los macro y micronutrientes analizados fueron: sodio, potasio, cloro, magnesio, calcio total, calcio iónico, fósforo, cobre, cobalto, molibdeno y zinc, además de creatinina y glucosa. El promedio de los valores de los macronutrientes y creatinina se encuentran dentro del nivel normal aceptado en la literatura. Los valores promedio de glucosa están hacia el límite inferior de los valores normales en Bolívar y Guárico y por debajo del rango normal en Apure. Los micronutrientes, a excepción a excepción del cobre y el zinc (en Bolívar y Guárico), están dentro de los límites aceptados como normales. Con el propósito de analizar las variaciones estacionales en los macro y micronutrientes se estudió una población controlada de bovinos en una finca de cada Estado a los que se lo tomaron muestras en distintas épocas del año. Se encontró que: a) durante la época de sequía los valores de algunos elementos (magnesio, calcio y cobre) tienden a ser deficitarios, para luego recuperarse en la época de lluvias y b) la suplementación mineral y el tratamiento sanitario mejoraron la ganancia de peso que se observa entre el período de sequía y lluvia. Al comparar los valores de macro y micronutrientes de animales controles y animales diagnosticados con Síndrome Parapléjico del Bovino (SPB), se encontraron diferencias significativas en el magnesio y el fósforo sérico. Con respecto al cobre hepático en animales con SPB el promedio se ubicó en 74,8 ppm-gr, ligeramente inferior al nivel crítico de 75 ppm-gr reportado en la literatura. En resumen, el cuadro nutricional típico encontrado en animales con SPB fue: elevada movilización de fosfato desde los huesos (altos niveles séricos), hipomagnesemia e hipocupremia subclínica.
