    Determinación del ruido y partículas contaminantes en el aire ambiente generados por los vehículos en la vía Cuenca-Molleturo y su efecto en la riqueza y abundancia de aves en el parque Nacional Cajas
    (2017) Ortega Vásquez, Samantha Estefanía; Plaza Vivanco, Galo Esteban; Mejía Coronel, Julio Danilo
    The Cuenca-Molleturo highway is one of the main communication routes between the provinces of Azuay and Guayas. It is a great importance natural reserve, basically due to the biodiversity that it shelters. The present investigation determines the noise and particulate pollutants in the ambient air generated by the vehicles and their effect on the richness and abundance of the birds in Cajas National Park. The measurements were executed perpendicular to the pathway, at 7 points of selection in the function of an altitudinal gradient within a section between the Quinoas Control and Huagrahuma Control. The methodologies to be used for sedimentary material and noise were based on the Reform “Acuerdo 097” pertaining to the Unified Text of Secondary Environmental Legislation of the Environment Ministry, in relation to the census of birds, counting points and transects of 250 meters were performed, and the Shannon index is applied for the measurement of biodiversity. Pearson´s correlation was related to biological variables (birds) with physical variables (height, sedimentary material, noise), where direct and inverse relationships were obtained between them however, the majority of results did not show significant relationships between the variables analyzed.

    Identificación y evaluación de riesgos laborales y elaboración de un Plan de Prevención de Riesgos en el Ministerio de Transporte y Obras Públicas de la provincia del Azuay
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2021-03-23) Plaza Vivanco, Galo Esteban; Rojas Castro, Diego Eulogio
    The “Ministerio de Transporte y Obras Públicas” (MTOP) as a public entity, develops activities such as planning for maintenance, improvement, rehabilitation, reconstruction, as well as the opening of new roads, managing and/or supervising projects on each road; it demands compliance with the National System of Road Infraestructure for Land Transport law, which is responsible for implementing policies, standards and procedures for the development of road projects in Ecuador. Its employees are exposed to all kinds of high risk factors such as: biological, due to the pandemic caused by the SARS CoV2 virus; physical, due to inadequate lighting according to the calculation of the monitoring equipment; ergonomic, owing to postures taken in office positions, and for jobs in the “taller/mecánica” area, all this given by the ROSA, OWAS and REBA methods; mechanics, mainly because of work carried out on roads within the jurisdiction of MTOP and psychosocial, thanks to the “Ministerio de Trabajo de Ecuador” questionnaire resulting in the main factors of high risk being labor harassment and hard working conditions. Different corrective measures for each risk factor were raised, ranging from the source, following the means of transmission, to reach the person. It is proposed to implement “active pauses” for each task or job. Finally, an Occupational Risk Prevention Plan was created as determined in each evaluation phase.
