This article is the second in a series of several by members of the Committee on the Control of Foodborne Illness of the International Association of Food Protection, and it continues the analysis of 816 outbreaks where food workers were implicated in the spread of foodborne disease. In this article, we discuss case morbidity and mortality and the settings where the 816 outbreaks occurred. Some of the outbreaks were very large; 11 involved more than 1,000 persons, 4 with more than 3,000 ill. The larger outbreaks tended to be extended over several days with a continuing source of infections, such as at festivals, resorts, and community events, or the contaminated product had been shipped to a large number of customers, e.g., icing on cakes or exported raspberries. There were five outbreaks with more than 100 persons hospitalized, with rates ranging from 9.9 to 100%. However, overall, the hospitalization rate was low (1.4%), and deaths were rare (0.11% of the 80,682 cases). Many of the deaths were associated with high-risk persons (i.e., those who had underlying diseases, malnutrition, or both, as in a refugee camp, or young children), but a few occurred with apparently healthy adults. An analysis of the settings for the food worker–related events showed that most of the outbreaks came from food service facilities (376 outbreaks [46.1%]), followed by catered events (126 outbreaks [15.4%]), the home (83 outbreaks [10.2%]), schools and day care centers (49 [6.0%]), and health care institutions (43 outbreaks [5.3%]). However, many cases resulted from relatively few outbreaks (<30 each) associated with community events (9,726), processing plants (8,580), mobile/temporary service (5,367), and camps/armed forces (5,117). The single most frequently reported setting was restaurants, with 324 outbreaks and 16,938 cases. Improper hygienic practices in homes, on picnics, or at community events accounted for 89 of the 816 outbreaks. There were 18 outbreaks associated with commercial travel in air flights, trains, and cruise ships over several decades, although only the last seems to be a major concern today. Sixteen outbreaks occurred where food, primarily produce, was harvested and shipped from one country to another. Sometimes the presence of an infected worker preparing food was only one of several factors contributing to the outbreak.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past 40 years, a complex review and oversight system has grown within the United States and internationally to regulate the conduct of human subjects research. This system developed in response to revelations of abuses of human subjects in experiments such as those conducted in the Nazi concentration camps, the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male, the Willowbrook Hepatitis Studies, and the studies described by Beecher in his 1966 article in the New England Journal of Medicine. The oversight system is based on a foundation, first implemented by the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) in 1966 and by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1971, of prior review and approval of a written experimental protocol by an independent committee. The World Medical Association articulated the ethical centrality of independent review in its 1975 revision of the Declaration of Helsinki, and the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research endorsed the requirement in its flagship Belmont Report.

AbstractThe Somali government has had to deal with serious health problems in the refugee population, especially malnutrition, tubercolosis, malaria, schistosomiasis, and parasitic diseases, arising from changes in environment and living patterns, the process of migration itself, lack of food, and the settlement in special camps. Emergency health plans have therefore been formulated by the Ministry of Health in concert with international agencies, foreign governments, and private aid organizations. An original contribution has been made by the Department of Community Health at the Faculty of Medicine at the National University, in the field of health education and health care. A number of problems were encountered, originating from varying philosophies of intervention and from the particular cultural characteristics of the population. The authors compare their experience with the period of mass resettlement during and after the 1974-75 drought in order to arrive at recommendations for the planning of health services in similar situations.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – Professional service entrepreneurs (PSEs) paradoxically practice their profession in highly institutionalized contexts that require intense socialization, while also enacting another role as an entrepreneur. Activities consistent with entrepreneurship may be unnecessary for – and possibly contradictory with – activities consistent with professional roles. The purpose of this paper is to address the question of how two highly important role identities (professional and entrepreneurial) relate to entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in professional firms. Design/methodology/approach – Using a survey methodology, the authors measure entrepreneurial and professional role identity importance, and PSE’s perceptions of firm-level EO, using a sample of 138 medical practitioners who own and operate their own small-to medium-sized professional practices. In this paper, the authors examine the associations of the importance of these identities, and the relative importance of one to another, with EO. Findings – The authors find that a PSE’s entrepreneurial role identity importance is positively related to the EO dimensions of risk taking and innovativeness, while professional role identity importance is negatively related to risk taking. Additionally, the authors find that the degree of relative importance (centrality) of an entrepreneurial role identity to a professional role identity is related positively to the EO dimensions of risk taking, innovativeness, and proactiveness. Research limitations/implications – This is a cross-sectional study. As such, the authors examine associations rather than a process. The sample is limited to professional medical practitioners in the USA who own and operate their own practices. Originality/value – This paper helps to better understand why some professional firms are more entrepreneurial than others. The findings suggest that, even in the conservative context of professional services, the PSEs entrepreneurial role centrality is consistent with the EO of the firm’s strategies.

AbstractItalian physicians who, from Oct. 1979 to April 1981 directed an emergency medical team in the Ogaden refugee camps of the Qorioley district of Somalia, report on location, general set-up, vital statistics, health aspects, water and food supply, sanitation, disposal of waste matter, health hazards, spread and control of diseases, health education, and planning of health services and health teams.Invited by the Caritas of Somalia and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) office in Mogadishu, Somalia, from October 15, 1979 to December 31, 1980, two Italian medical teams of the Associazione Universitaria per la Cooperazione Internazionale (AUCI) worked among the Ogaden Refugees in 3 camps of the Qorioley District, lower Shabelli Region of Somalia. Each team consisted of one physician and 2 registered nurses. The Qorioley district, about 140 km SW of Mogadishu, has high day-time temperatures and high humidity throughout the year. The day to night temperature gradients are high. Strong winds are blowing to and from the Indian Ocean.The 3 camps had been set up in the bush, on the right bank of the Shabelli river, about 8 km NW of Qorioley Town. The refugees in these camps were of Somali extraction and of Muslin culture and religion. They were housed in large military tents, aqal (round roofed skin covered hut of nomads), “mundul” (circular grass-thatched hut built around a central pole) and “arysh” (rectangular hut, corrugated iron tile roofs), aggregated at a very high density. More than 5000 people lived on one hectar. It was so crowded lhat there was no more space than 1.5 m2 of shelter per person. They lacked all hygienic services.Each camp had a food storage hut (mud walled with corrugated iron roof) and 2-3 water collection ponds, fed from the river. At the time of our arrival, two “arysh” with a total of 20 beds were in use for non-ambulatory patients. Scattered in the camps there were 6 “medical posts.”

Research into how war-displaced communities value or prioritize aid response is limited. A clearer conceptualization of what affected populations seek from the international humanitarian response to their needs would be valuable in planning for emergencies.AimExploring internally displaced person's (IDP) experiences and perceptions of the humanitarian response, with a focus on health risks, resources, and health services received during their displacement.MethodA mixed-method approach using both quantitative and qualitative methods was used. This study assessed the perceptions of IDPs on provision of health and other services using an interviewer-administered-questionnaire (survey) using a sample frame that included the entire displaced population of 150,000 IDPs living in 97 camps. Findings from the survey were synthesized with the key themes that emerged through the qualitative methodology. In-depth interviews were conducted with health cluster actors. An innovative child-to-child (CTC) based research methodology was used to ascertain the insights and perceptions of displaced children and adolescents.ResultsThe survey revealed community satisfaction with health care services immediately after displacement (within IDP camps) improved considerably from 63% to 80% (6 months after the acute phase). Significant gains also were registered for shelter (54.2% to 81.4%), and sanitation (47.4% to 62%). Satisfaction of services rendered by primary healthcare workers also were high; 81.7% for public health midwife (who provided maternal and child health care), and 76.8% for public health inspectors (who provided environmental health and disease control). However, CTC workshops revealed inequalities in access to food based on ‘caste’ and occupation. Protection issues relating to violence from community and militant groups were reported.ConclusionsDespite IDP satisfaction with healthcare services, there were gaps in food security and violence/protection activities. Recognizing of the role/impact community health volunteers play in health care is an important factor in enhancing primary health care services in IDP camps.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2009, an estimated 3 million people were displaced in Pakistan of which 10% took refuge in “camps”. To ascertain their health needs and care-seeking behavior an exploratory crosssectional survey was undertaken from November 2017 to April 2018 in Jalozai camp by interviewing 318 household heads and 318 married females using systematic and convenient sampling techniques respectively. Study findings revealed that 91% of the IDPs received some assistance for shelter, food, water, sanitation and basic health services while 37% of respondents had difficulties in fulfilling their family food demands, 38% had poor access to water. The prevalence of communicable and non-communicable diseases in the camp was 29% and 23% respectively. Demand for basic public health needs and health services was high and required active and coordinated interventions by both the public and private sectors. The study recommends a national health framework for IDPs.

Full textAbstract:
Remnant camas prairies and associated oak woodlands are the focus of contemporary Indigenous food sovereignty efforts in the Salish Sea (aka Puget Sound) region of western Washington. They are also the focus of research and restoration to conserve at-risk species of animals and plants protected under the United States Endangered Species Act. Currently there is little collaboration between tribes and restoration scientists. These conditions create an opportunity and ethical imperative for developing undergraduate curriculum that highlights the connections between biodiversity conservation and traditional Indigenous ecological knowledge. Patchy mosaic prairie-oak woodland vegetation visibly reflects the imprint of human activity, which includes past burning to foster native food plants including common camas (Camassia quamash) and Oregon white oak (Quercus garryana). Using a floristic research project focused on these cultural landscapes as a case study, this essay illustrates how interdisciplinary inquiry and service learning can enrich college-level plant taxonomy curriculum, while creating rich opportunities for students to link their botanical studies to a historically-grounded understanding of why the conservation challenges exist in the first place. Through this collaborative, multi-year research effort, students contribute to the production of needed resources useful to regional conservation efforts. Affiliated learning communities also consider what it might mean to decolonize botanical knowledge in the context of ecological restoration.

Full textAbstract:
Campus foodservice has experienced drastic changes over the twentieth century. Its cafeteria style service has some major advantages in catering the needs of the clientele: speed of service, convenience in food selection, and range of price, and so forth. As enrollments in colleges and universities have been continuously increasing during the past few years, campus foodservice operation is gaining its importance in the foodservice industry. Additionally, it serves as a part of the marketing mix with an appeal to increasing number of students.
The campus foodservice administrators are facing increased pressure of cost containment. Therefore, how to improve operational efficiency and productivity has been a major concern among foodservice managers. However, this is difficult to achieve due to the numerous variables likely to influence productivity with interrelating factors, such as policy and standard, employee and management skills, efficiency of facility layout, and so forth. There is a lack of published reports that single out these variables and provide in-depth analysis as to their impact on productivity.
Efficiency of kitchen equipment and workplace layout has been identified as a variable that influences labor productivity. It is the objective of this study to utilize the variables inherent in meal production of campus foodservice operations to assess the efficiency of kitchen equipment and workplace layout and determine their impact on with labor productivity.
Case studies were conducted in Owens Food Court, Shultz and Dietrick Dining Halls on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University. Work flow analysis and process time analysis of kitchen employees was utilized to collect data in describing work flow and utilization of labor time in meal production among the dining facilities. Ten entree items were purposively sampled from each dining facility.
The Product Process Gross Charts, often used in industrial engineering, were used as a major data collecting tool. A total of 150 charts, which included Move Charts, Distance Charts, Travel Charts, Description of By-pass, and Worker Process Time Charts, were utilized extensively for data collection and interpretation.
The differences in work flow variables and utilization of labor time variables among the dining facilities were studied. An analysis of the influence of work flow variables on the utilization of labor time was conducted. In addition, the differences in the functioning of work flow variables in affecting utilization of labor time among the dining facilities were also analyzed.
The results showed significant differences in absolute travel distance and percentage of time spent walking and (or) for delays among three dining facilities. Further more, collapsed information indicated that absolute travel distance was positively related with percentage of time spent walking and (or) for delays; and that percentage of backward movement was also positively related with percentage of time spent walking and (or) for delays.
Based on the findings, it is recommended by the researcher that a smooth work flow should be achieved in kitchen design, and some major equipment and workplace should be located within the direct line of flow. Equipment and workplace should be organized into different "functional clusters". It is also recommended that further research would be useful in identifying additional variables which would account for a great percentage of variance in the utilization of labor time.Master of Science

The purpose of this research was to conduct a feminist analysis of campus foot patrol/walk home services. The recent proliferation of this type of program has prompted some concern from the feminist community regarding the implications of this type of response to women's fear. Feminist scholars contend that these programs maintain and foster fear of the outdoors as well as reinforce women's dependency on others for protection. In reality women have substantially greater risks of being assaulted within their homes or other safe places by someone known to them. Feminist scholars state that an effective response to properly dealing with women's fear lies in education and awareness efforts focused on the perpetrators of violence against women/men. Fear is fostered in women throughout their lives through experiences of both public and private abuse at the hands of men. This reality, contextualised within the realm of our patriarchal society, has led feminists to conclude that long-term social change can only be effectuated through measures directed at men in society. Representatives of campus foot patrol/walk home services from four universities in the Ottawa-Montreal region were interviewed regarding their respective programs. The results showed that while foot patrol/walk home services may indeed be victim-control oriented and reproduce women's dependency on others for protection, they serve to fulfil a present, compelling need for many women: to be able to be out after dark without fearing for their safety. Evidence of the possible potential for long-term social change exists in all the programs, as each has educational and awareness components compulsory for all their volunteers. These components differ greatly in content and length however, and thus further research would be needed to determine the actual impact on volunteers. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo identificar os pontos críticos e estabelecer os pontos críticos de controle em preparações à base de carne de frango, nas lanchonetes/restaurantes do \"CAMPUS\" de uma Universidade. Em cada uma das 23 unidades foram analisadas três preparações à base de carne de frango as quais representam a grande preferência dos consumidores. A pesquisa foi dividida em duas etapas: - Levantamento das instalações. Acompanhamento das preparações e elaboração dos respectivos fluxogramas para identificação dos pontos críticos. Os dados foram colhidos com auxilio de \"Ficha de Inspeção\" preparada para o trabalho em questão, termômetros digitais de penetração, termômetros químicos, cronômetros e reagente para determinação de concentração de cloro em soluções para higienização. Constatou-se que, a maioria das instalações foi projetada para funcionar apenas como lanchonete sendo que, os serviços de restaurante são realizados de forma precária. Este fato associado ao despreparo dos manipuladores de alimentos, resulta num comprometimento sério à manipulação e proteção dos alimentos e, conseqüentemente à sanidade dos mesmos.The present paper intends to identify critical points and critical control points in preparations of chicken meat in luncheonettes and restaurants of a University campus. In each of the twenty-three units three such preparations were analyzed; the preparations represented the major preference of consumers. The study was divided in two phases: - Study of equipments. - Follow-up of preparations and elaboration of flow diagrams for identification of critical points. Data were collected with the aid of an inspections form especially prepared for the study, penetration digital reading thermometers, chemical thermometers, chronometer and reagent to stablish the chlorine concentration in sanitizing solutions. The data showed that instalations of all establishments were originally planned for luncheonettes and were being used as restaurants under precarious conditions. This fact plus the lack of training of food handlers resulted in the serious jeopardizing of food handling; thus protection of food was jeopardized as well as its sanity.

Resumo: A busca da satisfação do cliente e o entendimento de suas necessidades e desejos têm sido objeto de muitos estudos em várias áreas da ciência, necessitando novas metodologias. O Desdobramento da Função Qualidade (QFD) é uma dessas metodologias; é uma ferramenta recente, cuja aplicabilidade vem ganhando forças no mercado contemporâneo e com contínuo aprimoramento e aplicações nas diferentes áreas, destacando-se a de serviços. O mercado de alimentação fora do lar está em franco crescimento, vários são os motivos, dentre eles: a distância da residência, a dificuldade de locomoção e a escassez de tempo para as refeições. Atualmente a Unicamp dispõe, no campus Campinas, de três Restaurantes Universitários (RUs) e 24 Cantinas para atender 50.000 pessoas. Este trabalho teve por objetivo oferecer subsídios para a melhoria dos serviços de alimentação da Unicamp, campus Campinas, através da definição das Características de Qualidade (CQs) da Matriz da Qualidade do QFD para um serviço "ideal", na percepção do cliente. Foram avaliados os três RUs e 21 Cantinas do campus, por 1083 respondentes, todos frequentadores das RUs e Cantinas, sendo também caracterizado o perfil desses clientes. A amostragem, bem como a análise de dados, foram amparadas por técnicas estatísticas e de pesquisa de mercado. As etapas do método QFD foram desenvolvidas com procedimentos adicionais para a avaliação das CQs. Foram construídas duas Matrizes da Qualidade: RUs e Cantinas. Para a Qualidade Planejada dos RUs, das nove Qualidades Exigidas (QEs) levantadas na etapa qualitativa, foram priorizadas Qualidade do local, Qualidade da comida, Refeição balanceada, Novidade e Oferecimento de refeições. Mostrando assim, a preocupação e expectativa dos clientes com relação à saúde e ambiente agradável, oportunidade de sociabilização, principalmente por parte dos estudantes, a maioria dos frequentadores. Para as Cantinas, a ordenação das QEs Novidade, Atendimento, Qualidade da comida, Qualidade do local, Preço e Proximidade, mostra que os clientes são mais preocupados com aspectos da satisfação dos desejos, principalmente para as refeições com novidades. Na extração, definiram-se 42 Características de Qualidade (CQs). Na Qualidade Projetada foram definidas as CQs Acompanhamento técnico e Horas de treinamento como as mais relevantes e que devem merecer maior empenho de implantação para melhorar os serviços. Assim, outras CQs altamente relacionadas com essas também serão melhoradas. A constituição de equipes técnicas com perfis adequados para cada etapa permitiu a evolução dos trabalhos. Na etapa da Qualidade Projetada, foi desenvolvida uma Tabela Auxiliar para a consolidação dos Valores Meta e Priorização das CQs. Assim, procedimentos adicionais na construção da Matriz da Qualidade contribuíram para a condução do trabalho e podem servir para estudos similares. A Matriz da Qualidade do QFD se mostrou eficaz na avaliação de estabelecimentos de serviços de alimentação em um campus universitário; os resultados permitiram identificar com clareza quais CQs se destacaram e, portanto, quais são as mais importantes e que deverão e poderão ser adequadas para o aprimoramento dos estabelecimentos de serviços de alimentação da Unicamp
Abstract: The client satisfaction and the understanding of their needs and desires has been the object of studies conducted in various scientific areas. Thus, new methodologies are necessary. The Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is one of such methodologies; is a recent tool and it's applicability has been gaining strength in the contemporary market with continuous improvements and applications in various fields, with emphasis in service areas. The number of people eating out in commercial food service outlets is rising, due to various reasons: distance from home, difficulties in transportation and lack of time for meals. Currently, Unicamp houses 3 universitary restaurants (URs) and 24 Cafeterias (private food establishments), at Campinas campus, to serve 50,000 people. The current work aims to offer subsidies to contribute towards the improvement of Unicamp food services through definition of Quality Characteristics (QC) from the QFD Quality Matrix for an "ideal" service, according to the client's perception. The 3 URs and 21 cafeterias were evaluated by 1,083 respondents. All respondents were URs and cafeteria clients and their profiles were also characterized. The sampling and data analysis were corroborated by statistical and market research techniques. The QFD method steps were developed with additional procedures for the QCs evaluations. Two different Quality Matrix were built: URs and Cafeterias. For the Planned Quality of the URs, from nine Demanded Qualities (DQs) raised at qualitative step, Location quality, Food quality, Balanced meal, Novelty and Offer of meals were prioritized. These show client concerns and expectations, especially from the students, who represent the largest public in terms of absolute numbers, with relation to health, pleasant ambient and socialization opportunity. For the cafeterias DQs were ordered as follows: Novelty, Service, Food quality, Location quality, Price and Proximity. This demonstrates that the clients are more concerned with aspects related to desire satisfaction, mainly in terms of meal novelties. During the extraction process, 42 Quality Characteristics (QCs) were defined. In Projected Quality the QCs Technical assistance and Training time were defined as the most relevant and deserve greater establishment efforts in order to enhance the services. Thus, other QCs highly related to these will also be improved. The technical teams with the specific profiles demanded by each step was important for the work evolution. In the Projected Quality step, an Auxiliary Table was developed for the consolidation of the Target Values and QC Prioritization. Thus, additional procedures on Quality Matrix construction contributed for the work development and may be useful for similar studies. The QFD methodology was shown to be efficient to evaluate the food service in an university campus. The results showed to the most relevant CQs and those that may and should be used to enhance the quality of the food service establishments at Unicamp

El uso de tecnologías de la información tales como portales web, la georreferenciación y tecnologías emergentes como cloud computing que brindan seguridad y confidencialidad de los datos ya no es necesario contar con infraestructura de gran escala para automatizar los procesos de una determinada organización.
El presente proyecto tiene como finalidad realizar el análisis y diseño de un sistema para la gestión de programación de servicio técnico de campo en la empresa SERFAC S.A.C. La solución que se propone contempla el uso de Amazon Web Service como propuesta de arquitectura y la georreferenciación para calcular rutas de aproximación de manera que se programen las solicitudes de manera automática. Para desarrollar el presente proyecto se ha hecho uso del framework Zachman para el análisis del negocio, notación del lenguaje BPMN 2.0 para el análisis del proceso seleccionado y arquitectura basada en el modelo 4C para el diseño de la arquitectura de la solución.The current context in which companies are developing has prompted them to rethink their strategies and focus on offering quality services to customers, who need to be provided with mechanisms that allow them to carry out processes in an automated and safe way, and also within their organizations. The purpose is that the response and attention times to the needs that arise in the market meet the growing demand. The use of information technologies such as web portals, georeferencing and emerging technologies, such as cloud computing, that provide security and confidentiality of data should no longer need to have a large-scale infrastructure to automate the processes of a certain organization. The purpose of this project is to carry out an analysis and design of a system for the management of field technical service programming in the company SERFAC S.A.C. The proposed solution contemplates the use of Amazon Web Service as an architecture proposal and georeferencing to calculate approach routes in order to schedule the requests automatically. For developing this project, the Zachman framework has been used for business analysis, BPMN 2.0 language notation has been used for the analysis of the selected process and architecture based on the 4C model has also been used for the design of the solution architecture.

Pretende brindar apoyo a los profesores en el desarrollo sus investigación y actividades docentes, también, reforzar la asesoría a los alumnos en sus actividades académicas, aprovechar el servicio de referencia para la formación de los usuario, en el manejo de los recursos de información, así como, que toda la comunidad universitaria (alumnos, docentes, administrativos) acceda al servicio de referencia donde se encuentren, y no tengan que estar físicamente en la biblioteca. Para ello, es importante evaluar el proceso por el que actualmente atraviesa el servicio de referencia de la biblioteca central de la Universidad de Piura - Campus Lima. Respecto a la metodología, esta investigación es de tipo descriptiva cuantitativa. El servicio de referencia se evalúa a través de los tres criterios expuestos por Richard E. Bopp y Linda C. Smith en su libro Introducción general de consulta: libro de texto, los cuales son: evaluación de los recursos (colección y personal), de transacción de consulta, y de servicios de consulta (satisfacción de usuario). La colección se evalúa según su reputación, actualidad y uso; así como el personal, a través de un formulario adaptado del Perfil de Puestos y Competencias de la Dirección General de Bibliotecas de México. Las transacciones de referencia se analizan mediante la escala READ (Reference effort assessment data). Por último, se emplea una encuesta en forma de cuestionario que se aplica a una muestra del 20%(412) usuarios, divididos en cuatro grupos: alumnos de pregrado, de post grado, docentes y administrativos. El trabajo está estructurado como sigue: en el capítulo I, se describe el tema de la investigación, la justificación y los objetivos que se plantean en el informe; asimismo, se presenta la metodología a seguir. El capítulo II, desarrolla la parte teórica sobre la cual se sustenta la investigación. En el capítulo III, se describen los servicios de la biblioteca y se presenta el diagnóstico del servicio de referencia, de acuerdo a los niveles señalados por Richard E. Bopp, posteriormente, en el capítulo IV, se presentan una propuesta con estrategias orientadas a mejorar la situación actual del servicio de referencia a efectos de solucionar los problemas en base a los niveles analizados. Finalmente, se exponen las conclusiones de la investigación y las referencias bibliográficas utilizadas siguiendo las pautas de la American Psychological Association (APA).

Evalúa el servicio de auto devolución del Centro de información campus Monterrico de la UPC, para conocer la percepción del usuario de Estudios Profesionales para Ejecutivos (en adelante EPE) con respecto al servicio; asimismo, establecer los mecanismos y recursos necesarios para su mejora. El servicio de auto devolución es importante para el usuario ya que le permitirá ser autónomo y optimizar tiempo en la devolución de sus documentos en préstamo sin requerir el apoyo del bibliotecario. Se tiene la exigencia de contar con servicios eficientes y de calidad para ser un soporte en el desarrollo académico del usuario. Las autoridades de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas, (en adelante UPC), conscientes de que los alumnos deben recibir servicios de calidad conforme a los estándares internacionales, han destinado recursos económicos para implementar en una primera etapa el servicio de auto devolución en el Centro de Información. Este servicio ha sido acogido con agrado por la comunidad universitaria. El servicio de autodevolución es posible gracias al uso de la tecnología Radio Frequency Identification (en adelante RFID), el cual fue implementado hace más de 3 años. Esta tecnología es el soporte que se requiere para implementar un mejor autoservicio.Trabajo de suficiencia profesional

La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo identificar y cuantificar el mal desarrollo de sus procesos sobre el procedimiento de fiscalización de contrastación y/o verificación de medidores de electricidad mediante el Procedimiento N°227 OS/CD. Como problemática tenemos que, en el procedimiento antes mencionado, existían deficiencias en el trabajo de campo, capacitación del personal técnico, desgastes de materiales y la demora de material por parte de la empresa contratante, ocasionando así el incremento de costos y afectando la rentabilidad del proyecto ejecutado, cabe resaltar que eso de generó por la falta de un plan operativo y un seguimiento a los procesos que se realizan, para certificar la calidad del servicio. Pero para poder comprender el desarrollo de esta problemática, investigamos sobre los procesos que se realizaban, e identificamos en qué etapa se encuentran los cuellos de botella y cuáles son los costos que incurren en esas contingencias. La metodología que se realizó para esta investigación fue la evaluación y cuantificación de dos presupuestos, un presupuesto económico que fue presentado a ENOSA y un presupuesto económico ejecutado realizado por la empresa HERZAB, para saber en qué partida los costos se incrementan y que a su vez afectan la rentabilidad. Para ello se solicitó el presupuesto de ambos y a medida que se iba desarrollando el proyecto también se recopilaban los costos adicionales, dando como resultado que la empresa a pesar de que dejo de ganar un 5% para ganar el concurso, adicional pierde un 2% evaluando sus costos al momento en que se ejecutó el servicio. Concluyo que durante el desarrollo del Procedimiento N°227 OS/CD se detectaron errores en la planificación de sus procesos, así como retrasos en el proyecto por falta de material, además se encontró una penalidad por el mal proceder de los técnicos, lo cual se optó por sacar al personal y contratar nuevos técnicos para que el proyecto siga en marcha, generando así un sobre costo en mano de obra.

Full textAbstract:
Seiichi Higashide was not an agent of the Japanese emperor or a pro-Axis immigrant, and yet he and more than 1,800 other Japanese Peruvians got caught up in a wave of anti-Japanese hysteria during World War II that led to their kidnapping, forced migration, and incarceration in hastily erected camps in Texas and New Mexico. Higashide and his family were detained as “illegal aliens” in an Immigration and Naturalization Service detention facility in Texas alongside thousands of other foreigners in other camps spread across the Southwest. After the war, Higashide and his family worked at Seabrook Farms, a food processing complex in New Jersey, which was essentially a prison work camp. In the 1950s, the Higashides became US citizens, but the trauma of detention and racism remains with the family. The Higashides’ story reveals the intersection between US empire, national security, and immigrant detention.

Full textAbstract:
On-campus retailing is a spread practice, but academia has almost underestimated its potential. Nevertheless, not every type of retail activity adds value to customers and society. When the proposed value is society-driven and sensitive to consumers' wellbeing, customers' engagement increases. One business model, through which it is possible to exploit the benefits of on-campus retailing by adding social value, is the Yunus Social Business. This is a case-based study aiming to describe, through the Social Business Model Canvas, the founding of an organic shop within a university that is supplied by administrative staff of the university that are at the same time also local farmers. Further, the shop aims to resell organic food to university staff and students. The case study is theoretically enriched by traditional Porterian frameworks and new service frameworks such as the service-dominant logic by emphasizing the role of value proposition, value co-creation, and value-in-context.

This chapter details the conflict between domestic workers and guestworkers as the United Farm Workers of America (UFW), with the Florida Rural Legal Services, became involved in a struggle for “the worst jobs in the world.” Florida Rural was working to transform every aspect of farmworkers' lives. Its lawyers sued to gain access to labor camps, to integrate those camps, to get workers transported in buses rather than flatbed trucks, to get any Florida county to set up a Food Stamp program, to get farmworkers paid what they were owed, and to enforce local sanitation and housing ordinances. And although Florida Rural took all sorts of cases—including straight forward divorce and landlord–tenant cases—a great deal of their time would be spent suing on behalf of Caribbean guestworkers who alleged exploitation by sugarcane companies and to prove that domestic workers had been unfairly deprived of those same miserable jobs.

Full textAbstract:
Since 2011, Jordan has been hosting a substantial number of refugees from Syria. This chapter profiles the Syrian refugee population in Jordan in terms of demographic characteristics, participation in the labor market, education, and health outcomes. Syrian refugees are disproportionately young, with half of the refugee population under age 15. Despite the availability of work permits, less than a fifth of refugees are working, and those who do work are primarily in informal employment and working without permits. Low enrollment rates suggest that refugees face challenges in persisting in school in Jordan through even basic education. Refugees have limited access to health insurance and although most do access health services, they are more likely than Jordanians to rely on charitable organizations and pharmacies. Although the majority receive food supports, refugees, particularly those residing in camps, experience higher levels of food insecurity than Jordanians.

Full textAbstract:
During the war, the Soviet state created a labor system that was unique among the combatant nations and unprecedented in its own history. The evacuation of industry to sparsely populated eastern towns demanded a new labor force. All able-bodied civilians became subject to a labor draft. The state sent millions of free workers to work on distant sites, enrolled youth in vocational schools, deployed exiled national groups in a “Labor Army,” and employed prisoners in Gulag camps in industry and construction. Women, peasants, and teenagers became major sources of new labor. Mobilized workers became the foundation of the war effort, but they also posed the state’s greatest domestic challenge: to provide services traditionally performed by the family. The provision of clothing, food, shelter, cleaning, and repair—jobs assumed by women for no remuneration—fell to the industrial enterprises. Pressure to produce and persistent shortages created appalling living conditions. Many mobilized workers fled. In the prison camps and Labor Army, starvation and illness decimated the labor force.

Full textAbstract:
The letters that Formakov sent home in 1946 describe his contributions to cultural work in camp and his return to indoor work assignments. In this year he worked in a needle-making workshop, where he had also been delegated in 1944-1945; he later went on to serve as a bread-cutter and a norm-setter. He also toured for a time with Kraslag’s Central Cultural Brigade, giving shows in other camp outposts and area collective farms. Such privileged assignments were hard to secure. They gave inmates better access to food and significantly increased their chances of survival. At various points in the correspondence, Formakov discusses his efforts to remain in favor with the camp authorities.

<em>Abstract</em>.—Numerous natural resource agency and media reports have alleged that Asian carps were introduced into the wild through escapes from commercial fish farms. This chapter traces the chronology associated with importations of Asian carps to North America and discusses the likeliest pathways of their introduction to the wild. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service first imported an Asian carp species, grass carp <em>Ctenopharyngodon idella</em>, in 1963. Since then, state and federal agencies, universities, and private fish farmers have interacted to import Asian carps, to develop production technologies, and to promote their use in both public and private sectors in a number of different states. These importations and stocking, whether in confinement or, in the case of the grass carp, sometimes in open waters, were purposeful and legal. Asian carps were introduced to take advantage of their unique food preferences (planktivory by silver carp <em>Hypophthalmichthys molitrix </em>and bighead carp <em>H. nobilis</em>, herbivory by grass carp, and molluscivory by black carp <em>Mylopharyngodon piceus</em>). The first known accidental release of diploid grass carp was in 1966 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Stuttgart, Arkansas. Other early reports of grass carp in the wild were from waters in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Grass carp were reported from the wild in 1970, 2 years before the first private hatchery received grass carp. By 1972, grass carp had been stocked in open water systems in 16 different states. Silver carp and bighead carp were first imported purposely by a commercial fish producer in Arkansas in 1973. All silver and bighead carps were transferred to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission by March 1974 where they first successfully spawned silver carp and bighead carp later that year. The first report of silver carp in the wild was in Arizona in 1972, although strong evidence suggests that this may have been a misidentification, followed by reports in Arkansas in the wild in 1975. The Arkansas report occurred 2 years before bighead carp and silver carp were returned to private hatcheries for commercial production. By 1977, silver carp and bighead carp had been introduced to Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, and Tennessee. Research and stockings of silver carp and bighead carp were conducted by at least six state and federal agencies and three universities in seven states in the 1970s and 1980s. Public-sector agencies, which were successful in encouraging development and use of Asian carps that today are in commercial trade, are the likeliest pathways for the earliest escapes of grass carp, silver carp, and bighead carp.

Ken Cooper and Elizabeth Argentieri discuss their collaborative project about the Genesee region of Western New York, Open Valley, which invites students not just to think and act locally, but, less obviously, to gather in one location otherwise unconnected types of knowledge: literary, economic, ecological, and historical. Engaging students in archival projects that stretch the possibilities of the academic term, OpenValley invites them to connect with institutions beyond the college campus by collaboratively analyzing commercial documents, building a digital map of nineteenth-century food infrastructure, and editing as-yet unpublished diaries from a local farming family. Combining in real life (IRL) experiences for students in the form of community-engaged service learning with digital humanities pedagogy, students bring local materials to new and wider audiences.

Full textAbstract:
Food waste is a crucial global problem in the world. It is also a crucial issue for food services, consumers etc. Food is wasted throughout the entire food chain. At the consumer level, 35 percent of wasted food occurs. One of the main causes of food waste at consumer level is determined as “plate waste”. Although, the issue needs sustainable solutions to decrease food waste, there is no permanent solutions in mass consumption places about food waste such as refectories, cafeterias. The aim of the study is to analyse the amount of plate waste in Yaşar University (YU) refectories in İzmir by observation method and to find ways of minimizing food waste in YU, providing sustainability and contributing to the development of circular economy and raising awareness about food waste problem. For this research, the food waste at the YU refectories in Izmir was analysed by observation method. For 1-week observation study, a total of 3883 trays were examined throughout the Main campus and T blocks. It is determined that the biggest percentage is the main course and more than 50 percent of trays consist of waste in YU refectories.

Full textAbstract:
As a result of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, the country has seen a mass exodus of persons into neighbouring Caribbean Small Island Developing States, SIDS, such as Trinidad and Tobago and Curaçao. These SIDS do not have the infrastructure or local policies to implement a traditional refugee camp within their shores. Findings have shown the many disadvantages to existing or traditional refugee camp settlements. However, as forced migrants continue to pour into these Caribbean states, a technological framework is necessary to capture, manage and connect forced migrants to food and shelter using Geographical Information System, GIS, enabled web technology. Thus, the Geospatially Distributed e-Refugee Camp, GDEC, framework aims to define a burden-sharing model between non-profitable organizations and the government utilizing a free and open source software approach to foster citizen participation and rapid development. The framework is developed using well-defined and tested software development methodologies – Lean Startup Methodology and Rapid Application Development. It analyzes existing technologies used by the UNHCR to represent migration and related GIS data on the web. GDEC is a digitized spatial representation, using a service oriented architecture, of forced migrants housed across the island, the volunteers, safe zones and other relevant stakeholders within the system. This camp, though electronic and distributed, adheres to the standards set by the UNHCR and Sphere for refugee camp settlements. The framework will allow SIDS to roll out a software solution rapidly to meet the urgency of the refugee problem.

Full textAbstract:
A new senior level interdisciplinary lab experience has been developed at Western New England College which focuses on the use of biodiesel in an interdisciplinary engineering design and sustainability team project. A biodiesel generation system has been developed as part of two senior capstone design projects, and the system is capable of converting all of the waste vegetable oil (WVO) generated by the college food services department into biodiesel for use in diesel powered utility equipment on campus, and to heat the mechanical engineering laboratories. This fuel is also used to power vehicles designed as part of the senior level interdisciplinary lab experience which previously involved the development of a solar powered vehicle. Teams comprised of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering students are required to design and fabricate biodiesel powered vehicles designed to transport a payload across a race track in the shortest time possible using the biodiesel generated by each student team from waste cooking oil found on campus. Students gain hands on experience in the conversion of waste cooking oil into fuel and learn that the quality of the fuel generated plays an important role on vehicle performance. Students are given tight budgetary constrains to encourage the use of recycled materials and used parts found in the engineering labs. A mathematical energy model is developed to predict vehicle performance and an onboard data acquisition system is developed to measure performance parameters such as vehicle speed, engine rpm, and wind speed for comparison to the predictive energy model. Students are graded on vehicle performance on race day, the total cost of the vehicle and the vehicle weight. The experience gives students valuable insights into the interdisciplinary team dynamic and the importance of engineering for sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
This paper deals with the Off-Grid Zero Emissions Building (OGZEB), a project undertaken by the Sustainable Energy Science & Engineering Center (SESEC) at Florida State University (FSU). The project involves the design, construction and operation of a completely solar-powered building that achieves LEED-NC (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design-New Construction) platinum certification. The resulting 1000 square foot building will be partitioned such that 750 square feet will be a two bedroom, graduate student style flat with the remaining 250 square feet serving as office space. This arrangement will allow the building to serve as an energy efficient model for campus designers in student living and office space. The building will also serve as a prototype for developing and implementing cutting edge, alternative energy technologies in both residential and commercial settings. For example, hydrogen will be used extensively in meeting the energy needs of the OGZEB. In lieu of high efficiency batteries, the excess electricity produced by the building’s photovoltaic (PV) panels will be used to generate hydrogen via water electrolysis. The hydrogen will be stored on-site until needed for either generating electricity in a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack or combusted in natural gas appliances that have been modified for hydrogen use. Although commercial variants already exist, a highly efficient water electrolysis device and innovative PEM fuel cell are currently under development at SESEC and both will be implemented into the OGZEB. The use of hydrogen in modified natural gas appliances, such as an on-demand hot water heater and cook top, is unique to the OGZEB.

This paper deals with the construction and implementation of the Off-Grid Zero Emissions Building (OGZEB), a project undertaken by the Energy Sustainability Center (ESC), formally the Sustainable Energy Science and Engineering Center (SESEC), at the Florida State University (FSU). The project involves the design, construction and operation of a completely solar-powered building that achieves LEED-NC (Leadership in Energy and Environment Design-New Construction) platinum certification. The 1064 square foot building is partitioned such that 800 square feet is a two bedroom, graduate student style flat with the remaining 264 square feet serving as office space. This arrangement allows the building to serve as an energy efficient model for campus designers in student living and office space. The building also serves as a prototype for developing and implementing cutting edge, alternative energy technologies in both residential and commercial settings. For example, hydrogen is used extensively in meeting the energy needs of the OGZEB. In lieu of high efficiency batteries, the excess electricity produced by the buildings photovoltaic (PV) panels is used to generate hydrogen via water electrolysis for long term energy storage. The hydrogen is stored on-site until needed for either generating electricity in a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack or combusted in natural gas appliances that have been modified for hydrogen use. The use of hydrogen in modified natural gas appliances, such as an on-demand hot water heater and cook top, is unique to the OGZEB. This paper discusses the problems and solutions that arose during construction and includes detailed schematics of the OGZEBs energy system.
