Process mining is an innovative technique through which inefficiencies in production systems can be eliminated. This technique has therefore become very important internationally in recent years and is also useful for pursuing the improvement of production systems by extrapolating process knowledge from event logs recorded by information systems. Process mining has easy application in production…

Blockchain technology is seeing a trend of popularity and adoption in many different application areas. One such area is healthcare, as there is a need to develop a system that can reliably store and share electronic health records (EHRs) among hospital-based health facilities. In this paper, we present a cloud-based hierarchical consortium blockchain framework for…

To determine the risk factors associated with the development of extensively resistant pulmonary tuberculosis in the DIRIS Lima Sur, 2017. The type of research was observational, quantitative, analytical, retrospective case-control approach. The population consisted of 158 patients with MDR-TB treatment schedule between 2016 and 2017. The sample consisted of 24 cases diagnosed with extensively drug-resistant…

This paper describes what can be accomplished by understanding sound environments. Understanding sound environments is achieved by extracting the features of the sound and visualizing the features. The visualization is realized by converting the three features, namely, loudness, continuity, and pitch, into RGB values and expressing the sound with color, where the color is painted…

In the context of globalization and the crises that we are experiencing today, innovation becomes the engine of acceleration and resolution of all kinds of organizational dysfunctions. Different alternatives have been proposed by all researchers and practitioners. The role of this paper is to determine the peculiarities of innovation, including the role played by organizational,…

The Present work is to investigate effect of dry sliding wear behaviour of ZA27 base alloy, after reinforcing it with Molybdenum Di Sulphide (MoS2) particles from 0% to 4% in five steps. To examine the wear behaviour of both reinforced and un-reinforced material, dry or unlubricated pin on disc tests were conducted. These tests were…

Worldwide, the epidemiological situation is constantly changing and with the exponential increase in the number of confirmed coronavirus cases, the number of health care workers has decreased significantly and this is due to the direct and daily contact of patients. One of the major challenges of the last few months is to prevent the spread…

A very large number of workers is occupationally exposed to Optical Radiation (OR) worldwide, while indeed nowadays an exposure to Electromagnetic fields (EMF) can occur in almost all workplaces. OR origin can be natural, including the most relevant source, i.e. the sun, or artificial, that can be further classified in incoherent and coherent, i.e. the…

Blockchain technology has proven to be the best solution for digital data storage today, which is decentralized and interconnected via cryptography. Many consensus algorithms can be options for implementation. One of them is the PoA consensus algorithm, which is proven to provide high performance and fault tolerance. Blockchain has been implemented in many sectors, including…

Cardiovascular diseases are the group of conditions produced in the heart or blood vessels. This is one of the main causes of death in Peru and the world, produced mostly by non-communicable diseases and harmful habits, which makes it an extremely predictable disease. These factors include body mass index, smoking, diabetes, age, blood pressure, total…

A healthy watershed is important not only for the ecosystem but also for human socioeconomic activities. Therefore, a compatible assessment model is required to recognize watershed health. In Indonesia, the watershed health assessment is directed by the Ministry of Forestry regulation number 60/2014. A critic might be posed to this directive for not including the…

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is a chronic disorder that affects the way the body metabolizes sugar (glucose) in the blood and depends on a combination of risk factors, such as genes and lifestyle.
