Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Download or read book Control interno en las empresas written by Carlos Alberto Pereira Palomo and published by IMCP. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Control interno en las empresas. Su aplicación y efectividad es una respuesta a las necesidades sobre los requerimientos de las organizaciones de hoy que aspiran a crecer y mantenerse en el mercado competitivo actual. La administración de las empresas tiene la responsabilidad de diseñar e implementar un sistema de control interno y procurar la adecuada protección de los activos mediante la segregación de cada función, lo cual constituye el principio básico del control interno. Es imprescindible contar con los filtros adecuados desde la asignación de los usuarios para tener acceso a los sistemas administrativos integrales, y de los permisos o derechos para realizar operaciones de captura a los usuarios que estrictamente les corresponda, hasta la consulta de registros operativos, reportes administrativos e información financiera a la que deben tener acceso los diferentes niveles del organigrama, de acuerdo con sus responsabilidades y tramos de control. Uno de los beneficios del sistema operativo automatizado integrado, comúnmente denominado ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), es contar con una base de datos única, alimentada por una persona que captura y muchos usuarios que utilizan esta información, por lo que se convierten en supervisores y usuarios de esta, a la vez. El propósito de esta obra es ilustrar a los administradores, académicos, empresarios y lectores en general interesados en el establecimiento de controles internos, para dejar evidencia de la optimización del uso de los recursos utilizando las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) actuales; asimismo, enfatiza la importancia del establecimiento de ciertos controles que deben ser tomados en cuenta al utilizar las TIC, con el fin de salvaguardar la información registrada en los archivos virtuales de la empresa.

Download or read book Overview of risk informed decision making processes written by Enrico Zio and published by FonCSI. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors introduce the general concepts, definitions and issues related to the use of Risk-informed decision-making (RIDM). These are structured processes which assist decision-makers when faced with high impact, complex decisions involving multiple objectives and the presence of uncertainty. They aim to ensure that decisions between competing alternatives are taken with an awareness of the risks associated with each option, and that all attributes of a decision are considered in an integrated manner. Motivations for the use of these techniques as a complement to more traditional deterministic approaches to risk assessment are provided. The RIDM processes adopted by NASA and by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission are described in detail, with an analysis of commonalities and differences in approach.
Download or read book Damp Indoor Spaces and Health written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost all homes, apartments, and commercial buildings will experience leaks, flooding, or other forms of excessive indoor dampness at some point. Not only is excessive dampness a health problem by itself, it also contributes to several other potentially problematic types of situations. Molds and other microbial agents favor damp indoor environments, and excess moisture may initiate the release of chemical emissions from damaged building materials and furnishings. This new book from the Institute of Medicine examines the health impact of exposures resulting from damp indoor environments and offers recommendations for public health interventions. Damp Indoor Spaces and Health covers a broad range of topics. The book not only examines the relationship between damp or moldy indoor environments and adverse health outcomes but also discusses how and where buildings get wet, how dampness influences microbial growth and chemical emissions, ways to prevent and remediate dampness, and elements of a public health response to the issues. A comprehensive literature review finds sufficient evidence of an association between damp indoor environments and some upper respiratory tract symptoms, coughing, wheezing, and asthma symptoms in sensitized persons. This important book will be of interest to a wide-ranging audience of science, health, engineering, and building professionals, government officials, and members of the public.
