This is a descriptive study aimed to know the knowledge that the university students have about blood donation. A study from the US shows that people with tertiary education have more probability to donate blood [1]. The sampled population consisted in students of two universities studying Science, Engineering and Biology. A total of 114 individuals were approached of which 19 did not wish to proceed or did not complete the questionnaire leaving a total of 95 study participants. The questionnaire was divided into three sections. The first section refers to the potential benefits of blood donation and asks participants about their views on 23 benefit statements. Each statement has been assessed by an average of 43 individuals with approval scores of 75%. Of the study population it was found that 80% did not have prior knowledge of the benefits of blood donation. The second part contained 15 questions designed to identify if participants' are eligible or not for blood donation. It was found that 47%, 35%, and 18% of participants were eligible, not eligible, or undetermined for donating blood respectively. The third section of the questionnaire identifies the participants' willingness to donate blood following exposure to information on its potential benefits. It was found that 52.63%, 38.95%, and 8.42 % of participants had the same, more, or less willingness after exposure to information than before the questionnaire respectively. The results show us that it is possible to influence the target population's will to donate blood after their exposure to acknowledge the blood donation benefits. The statements, about blood donation benefits, with higher score were chosen. The ultimate goal of this study is to raise awareness of blood donation and to increase participation during campaigns on university campuses. The research group keeps working on preventive health and changing the picture of voluntary blood donation.

The activities related to buses assembly involve a high margin of ergonomic and psychosocial risks in the work environment that can cause pain symptoms and even generate muscle skeletal disorders (MSD) in workers. The preliminary study developed for this industrial activity aims to describe these variables and how they are associated in the generation of this issue. The investigation was carried out through the use of the Psychosocial Factors questionnaire (F-PSICO) which determined nine dimensions in the psychosocial risk factor, the musculoskeletal pain symptomatology was established with the Nordic questionnaire, while the degree of relationship between variables was made with chi-square and Odd Ratio (OR) statistical tests with a confidence level of 95%. The results show that the nine analyzed psychosocial dimensions have a very high risk among the seventeen workers involved in the study with incidence rates greater than 50%. The symptomatology of pain found in the population corresponds to discomfort in the neck, shoulders and back in lapses up to thirty days with a perception that ranges from mild to severe. Regarding to the degree of relationship of variables, there is significance $(mathbf{p} < mathbf{0.05})$ with the $chi^{2}$ statistic in all dimensions, while O.R is significant in work autonomy and participation in work. The musculoskeletal symptomatology is manifested in a large percentage by ergonomic risks of work, however, psychosocial factors can accentuate this condition.

There is a great lack in the use of modern technologies in the physical therapy and rehab fields despite of the annual increase of patients for this area. Likewise, studies and investigations for this field are done with a medical approach however, only a few are done from a technological approach that would allow the implementation of new tools to facilitate the evaluation and monitoring of kinesic patients. This paper intends to propose a set of projects following a technological approach. In this document, four solutions with the intention of resolving the limitations of the therapist when evaluating and monitoring patients.

Talking into account the influence of the scouring on the slope of the Pacho - La Palma route K21 + 900), a physical model was realized with the objective of evaluating the dissipation of energy between a conventional and non - conventional structure with tires out of use. For this, a comparison was made between the energy presented for different cases of protection of the slope, the first case not protected, the second case was protection with bags and finally with tires out of use. For the realization of the physical model we took into account the similarity laws of Froude that made a more adequate relation to scale the model to optimal conditions of modeling. By means of information from the Charco Largo station, a series of annual maximum flows and river bathymetry were obtained in the study area. Finally, the modeling was performed and the energy curves were plotted for each case, establishing that structure presents the greatest energy dissipation for the study area.
考虑到冲刷对Pacho - La Palma路线(K21 + 900)斜坡的影响，建立了一个物理模型，目的是评估轮胎停止使用时传统和非常规结构之间的能量耗散。在此基础上，比较了不保护、带袋保护和不使用轮胎保护三种情况下边坡所产生的能量。对于物理模型的实现，我们考虑了弗劳德的相似定律，该定律使模型更充分地关系到建模的最佳条件。利用Charco Largo站的资料，获得了研究区内的一系列年最大流量和河流水深。最后，对每一种情况进行了建模并绘制了能量曲线，确定了结构在研究区域内的能量耗散最大。

Currently, the community of deaf women must face lack of several resources related to their personal and professional development: (i) the lack of bilingualism (sign language and written language), (ii) the lack of an appropriate knowledge about local sign language, and (iii) the scarcity of educational plans about of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH). This situation triggers several problems such as transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, unwanted pregnancy in adolescence, sexual violence, and complications during pregnancy. For these reasons, in this paper, we present an ecosystem and an educational methodology aimed on improving the access to SRH programs as well complementing the engineering academic curriculum. Our proposal was put to test with 3 (deaf) human experts of the Federation of the Deaf of Azuay. The results are encouraging and have shown that it is necessary to implement educational programs in universities and colleges.

The present work proposes a method of electronic monitoring of physical variables of the plant's wet bulb, in order to properly dose the water volume required for drip irrigation systems. The method has the ability to be conditioned to the need of the plant, in order to maintain an optimum level of humidity in the crop field, as it would be achieved in a laboratory. The monitoring is carried out on the percentage of humidity and the electrical conductivity of the soil. For this, sensors are used that are properly calibrated in the operating ranges of 10 to 30% for humidity and 1.2 to 1.7 ds/m for electrical conductivity [1]. The electronic equipment developed for the implementation of the method uses 3 humidity sensors placed at different depths and 1 electrical conductivity sensor for monitoring salinity. Based on the information sent by these sensors in real time, the activation times of the solenoid valve that makes up the drip irrigation system are adjusted.

Fraud detection is important for financial institutions and the society. Supervised machine learning techniques were applied for fraud detection. However, mostly discriminative techniques were applied on these problems. Probabilistic graphical models can also detect fraud, providing also a graphical representation of its reasoning scheme as a graph. We proposed a method to generate a probabilistic graphical model for fraud detection, using constraints related to the domain. We achieved 99.272% of accuracy and we outperformed other baselines techniques of probabilistic graphical models. We demonstrated that constraints are important to tackle complex problem such a fraud detection.

In this paper, a predictive model to determine customer desertion in Peruvian banking entities is proposed. The purpose of the model is the early identification of customers that reflect a behavior tending towards desertion based on financial movements, transactions, product acquisition, etc. The model is based on the analysis of a customer dataset to identify common traits through the use of SAP Predictive Analytics, and then comparing these traits to a different customer dataset, identifying those that are more likely to leave the entity. The commercial use of this model is the immediate application of loyalty initiatives that would enable the entity to retain the customer. The model was tested in order to identify the most efficient and precise one, being the R-K Means algorithm the best performing one, with a 93.20% accuracy and a better false positive/negative relation (8 and 3 respectively).

This work presents the integration of a low-cost virtual reality video game system, called VRIMP, specifically designed in order to improve experimental procedures for impulsivity assessment in psychology, by creating an immersive experience for participants in such evaluation. Through the implementation from scratch of a client-server system, using free software tools and inexpensive commercial hardware, a platform was constructed allowing the participants to interact with special virtual reality games that implement specific measurable aspects of impulsive behavior. At the same time, VRIMP collects information on the actions performed by the user during the game session, for later analysis, and allows the connection of real-time supervisory clients. The VRIMP system has been submitted to an initial experts validation at the Psychology Laboratory of the University of San Buenaventura, in B020bl'l Colombia.

According to estimations of the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 4.5 million persons will become blind due to the primary Glaucoma. For these reasons, in this paper, we present a simple approach to estimate the risk of suffering from glaucoma that presents a patient. Our proposal relies on the automatic analysis of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images through the calculus of nerve fiber and ganglionary vessels areas. To this aim, our system separates the two areas mentioned before through computer vision techniques and the Newton Interpolation Method. Once the two areas are separated, the system determines the size of each of them. This proposal was validated through an experiment carried out with OCT 30 images (per eye). The results are encouraging, and the suggestions provided by the system match with medical diagnosis.
