Argentina does not have a single, consistent definition of life on the streets that is accepted and applied throughout the country and covers people living on the streets. Likewise, there is no statistical metric to measure the scope of the problem. In the case of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, the counts carried out by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires are the only indication of the numerical magnitude of the problem, but the data obtained do not correspond to the proportion of the problem. As a result, there are strong controversies between the official figures and those estimated by civil society organizations. This article aims to show how the delimitation of an operational conceptual category has strong implications for the numerical estimation of the number and characteristics of people living on the streets. Firstly, a brief review is made of international experiences involving the development of tools that provide both a clear and consistent definition and inadequate framework for collecting reliable data on the problem. Then, in the context of Argentina, we characterize the two forms most commonly used to indicate life on the streets in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires: 'without a home' and 'street situation. 'Finally, under the selected categories, the methodologies used to establish the numerical magnitude of the problem are described and compared. In this sense, a comparison is made between the official counts of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires and the Popular Census of Homeless People carried out by civil society organizations in accordance with current legislation. Argentina no cuenta con una definición única y constante sobre la vida en las calles que se acepte y se aplique en el territorio nacional y que abarque a las personas que se encuentran viviendo en la calle. De igual manera, tampoco existe una delimitación estadística que dimensione el alcance de la problemática. En el caso de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, los conteos llevados a cabo por el Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires son el único indicio de la magnitud numérica del problema, pero los datos obtenidos no se corresponden con la proporción del problema. A partir de ello existen fuertes controversias entre las cifras oficiales y las estimadas por las organizaciones de la sociedad civil. Este artículo se propone mostrar cómo la delimitación de una categoría conceptual operativa conlleva fuertes implicancias en la estimación numérica sobre la cantidad y las características de personas que se encuentran viviendo en las calles. A partir de ello, en primer lugar, se realiza un breve recorrido de experiencias internacionales que han centrado su atención en el desarrollo de herramientas que proporcionen tanto una definición clara y consistente como un marco adecuado para la recopilación de datos confiables sobre la problemática. Luego, en el marco de Argentina, se caracterizan las dos formas más utilizadas para denominar la vida en las calles en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires: sin techo y situación de calle. Por último, acorde con las categorías seleccionadas, se describen y comparan las metodologías empleadas para establecer la magnitud numérica del problema. En este sentido se realiza una comparación entre los conteos oficiales del Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires y el Censo Popular de Personas en Situación de Calle llevado adelante por organizaciones de la sociedad civil acorde con la legislación vigente.

El objetivo de la investigación fue evaluar la gestión de la calidad del aire y sostenibilidad en cinco ciudades de Guanajuato observando los indicadores de Gestión de la Calidad del Aire y Cambio Climático. El método de investigación es mixto, análisis documental cualitativo y de sistemas complejos. Los resultados son el Índice de Variación Cualitativa y el Índice de Coocurrencia de Códigos para evaluar la gestión. Los hallazgos se sintetizan en un índice complejo de gestión puesto a discusión. La originalidad esté en la medición de las funciones, estrategias e indicadores de gestión con un enfoque holístico desde los sistemas complejos. Su limitación es que sólo se valida en la medición de la gestión de la calidad del aire dejando para estudios futuros integrar el índice con otros modelos para evaluar la eficiencia en el control de las emisiones y sostenibilidad.

Comunicació presentada a: the IEEE 5th World Forum on Internet of Things Conference, celebrada del 15 al 18 d'abril de 2019 a Limerick, Irlanda. ; While direct allocation of spectrum and evolved medium access protocols provide a base for ubiquitous wireless connectivity, the existing TCP/IP and OSI models were designed for wired networks and do not address open interconnection of air interfaces. Without an interworking model for the air interface, existing network designs continue to tie wireless medium access to that of the backhaul provider for ownership of access and identity trust, resulting in limitations on functionality and coverage. In this paper, we propose a novel solution to access ownership and identity trust by extending the TCP network standard, under a new model we propose, named TCP-Air which integrates distributed ledger technologies directly at the air interface. Further, we present two use cases of the TCP-Air model, demonstrating applications not feasible under existing permissioned-access network designs. ; This work was partially supported by the Spanish and Catalan Governments through the project "Plan Nacional": AEI/FEDER TEC2016-79510 "Redes Con Celdas Densas y Masivas".

A chapter report issued by the General Accounting Office with an abstract that begins "Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) modernization investment management approach as carried out through the Acquisition Management System (AMS), focusing on the extent to which FAA, through AMS: (1) has established a structured approach for selecting and controlling its investments; (2) incorporates all investments, including those in operation, in the agency's portfolio; and (3) selects, controls, and evaluates its investments with complete and reliable information."

The Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), also known as the Geneva Convention on Air Pollution, was adopted in Geneva on 13 November 1979. Fifty-one parties have signed the Convention, including all EU Member States, the EU Commission, many Eastern European and Central Asian states, as well as the USA and Canada. To date, the Convention has been stipulated in concrete terms by eight protocols containing legally binding mitigation targets.

This thesis analyzes the air power, coercion, strategic theory, and strategic methodology in the 2006 Israel/Hezbollah War. In state versus non-state actor conflicts, air power's utility is different from state versus state conflicts. The dynamics of coercion also differ greatly from state versus state conflict. Additionally the strategic theories, and the methodologies used to develop these theories differ as well, both in their goals and their utility. By examining the 2006 Israel/Hezbollah war, which is an excellent example of a high-intensity conflict between a very capable state military, and a well-equipped non-state actor, Hezbollah, I analyze the ways in which air power is most useful in state versus non-state actor conflicts, the efficacy of coercion in such conflicts, and the role of strategic theory and methodology in such conflicts. I conclude that air power is best used against material high value targets, and against outside state sponsors of non-state actors, as non-state actors often blend amongst non-combatants, disperse their men and material widely, and are difficult to target with accuracy. I also conclude that the basic logic of coercion used in state versus state conflict is sound, but that the logic is complicated by the non-state actor's reliance on outside powers for war material, meaning that attempts to coerce without applying pressure to the outside power will be unlikely to succeed. Finally I conclude that strategic theory and methodology are of the greatest importance to success, and that the most important factor in both is adaptability. He who adapts fastest often wins in asymmetric warfare.

This revealing book sets out to provide a first-hand account of the Blitz upon an ordinary and very recently married couple in Upminster, Essex. The Blitz diary, written by the author's mother, began less than a year after she had married, which itself was just three days before the Declaration of War in 1939. It may be quite representative of the experiences of millions. The diary entries throw light on the minutiae of trying to continue everyday life with a sense of normality against the backdrop of fear an uncertainty. As well as the diary itself, an absorbing background history is pro
