Full textThe tradition of hermeneutic phenomenology grounds this inquiry, guided primarily by the works of Martin Heidegger, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Martin Buber, and to lesser and varying degrees by David Abram, Hans-George Gadamer, Edmond Husserl, David Michael Levin, Emmanual Levinas, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Max van Manen's six methodological guidelines serve as the framework for the research activities that comprise this study.
From conversations with, and written reflections from, eight work-place professionals, this study reveals what it is like to experience other-imposed, work-place social isolation. Through hermeneutic phenomenological exploration, the stories of these eight workers reveal lived experience along three primary themes. First, other-imposed social isolation is abusive power and control that is comprised of shameful, indecent acts. Second, the targets of involuntary social isolation experience relentless, wounding trauma. Third, while remaining in their socially isolating work-places, and sometimes for years after leaving, targeted workers bear the burdened weight of crushing grief.
The study suggests a need to expose antiquated, yet accepted, work-place mores, that serve as unconscious barriers to work-place respect and dignity. Further, the study reveals that conscious, and conscientious, awareness and attention to abusive work-place social isolation are the responsibility of each and every work-place citizen. Finally, the study recommends meaningful citizen choices -- such as refusing silence; standing alone, if necessary; and inviting work-place community attention -- to engage with others where workers' truths and dignity are at stake.

Full textEl termino «lugar»; se viene utilizando de varias maneras en el uso cotidiano y ultimamente están apareciendo algunas apreciaciones conceptuales que pueden confundir a algunos geografos. Ya hay opiniones antropologicas que hacen referencia a los ≪no lugares≫ es decir eventos que se encuentran en el espacio pero que no despiertan ningun apego o sentimientos de identidad, como son los modernos centros comerciales, supercarreteras, aeropuertos, etcetera.El argumento de este articulo es que a pesar de que esos eventos puedan pasar sin interés para los visitantes, son cuerpos reales y permanentes que ocupan espacios geograficos, es decir ocupan un lugar. Por lo tanto despiertan sentimientos de identidad para la gente que vive cerca de ellos y son motivo de recuerdos cuando se comparan con otros lugares.

Full textThis dissertation explores the history of the Los Angeles shoreline and, more specifically, the city's famous beaches, from the 1920s through the early 1970s. I examine Los Angeles beaches not only as tourist attractions, but as urban spaces. Indeed, as vast public accommodations which attracted millions of people every year, the beaches generated heated debates regarding their development, accessibility, policing, and racial segregation. Contributing to environmental, cultural and social history, this dissertation takes into account the multiple historical actors - engineers, scientists, urban planners, local officials and homeowners - who attempted to transform and regulate the beaches according to competing visions, as well as the ordinary men and women who claimed their right to occupy and appropriate this space. My conclusions are divided into three main categories. First, I demonstrate that the beaches of Los Angeles are today mostly artificial; between the 1930s and the 1960s, the beaches were vastly enlarged thanks to the development of new techniques. Second, I show that the beaches were a place where the traditional social and racial hierarchies could momentarily be challenged. However, the postwar modernization of the beaches and the surrounding neighborhoods led to the eviction of the so-called undesirable public from the shores. Third, the beaches were the birthplace of multiple subcultures which contributed to the emergence and diffusion of new values and bodily norms, whether at the beach or in the city

Full textDespite the extensive research work carried out on flow through short square-edged orifice plates over the last century (e.g. Johansen, 1930; Benedict, 1977; Alvi et al., 1978; Swamee, 2005; ESDU, 2007), gaps in the engineering data still exist for certain ranges of flow conditions and geometries. The majority of data available in the literature are for Newtonian fluids in the turbulent flow regime (ESDU, 2007). Insufficient data have been observed for the orifice with pipe diameter ratio, β = 0.2, in the laminar flow regime. There are no experimental data for β = 0.3 and 0.57. The objective of this thesis was to conduct wide-ranging experimental studies of the flow in orifice plates, which included those geometrical configurations, by measuring pressure loss coefficients and discharge coefficients across the orifice plates using both Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian fluids in both laminar and turbulent flow regimes. The test work was conducted on the valve test rig at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. Four classical circular short square-edged orifice plates having, β = 0.2, 0.3, 0.57 and 0.7, were tested. In addition, two generation 0 Von Koch orifice plates (Von Koch, 1904), with equivalent cross sectional area were also tested for β = 0.57. Water was used as Newtonian fluid to obtain turbulent regime data and also for calibration purposes to ensure measurement accuracy and carboxymethyl cellulose, bentonite and kaolin slurries were used at different concentrations to obtain laminar and transitional loss coefficient data. The hydraulic grade line method was used to evaluate pressure loss coefficients (Edwards et al., 1985), while the flange tap arrangement method was used to determine the discharge coefficients (ESDU, 2007). A tube viscometer with three different pipe diameters was used to obtain the rheological properties of the fluids. The results for each test are presented in the form of pressure loss coefficient (kor) and discharge coefficient (Cd) against pipe Reynolds number (Re)

Full textObjectives: To assess the effect of treatment with placebo on weight loss in obese patients. Methods: The placebo groups from nine orlistat and three sibutramine weight loss studies, as identified from the Padwal meta-analysis, were analyzed for: weight loss in kilograms; change in BMI; type of nutrition and exercise interventions; and bias. The means and standard deviations for weight loss were entered into the Stata meta-analysis program to obtain a forest plot to determine an overall estimate of weight loss. The Potential for Methodological Bias Assessment Tool (PMBAT) was used to create a bias score for each study. Results: Overall, subjects in the placebo group lost 3.8 kg (p<0.001). Placebo subjects in the orlistat trials lost significantly more weight (4.3 kg) than did subjects in the sibutramine trials (1.1 kg, p=0.014). The subjects in the sibutramine studies did not lose a significant amount of weight (p=0.397). There were distinct differences between the sibutramine and orlistat studies with regard to nutrition and exercise interventions. The mean score on the PMBAT was 16.7 ± 3.6; and no study scored higher than 25 out of 45 total points. Conclusions: Overall subjects in the placebo group in the combined orlistat and sibutramine studies lost a significant amount of weight. Differences in study design, bias, and the Hawthorne effect may have contributed to this weight loss.

The Marcellus Shale is a sedimentary rock formation that lies beneath most of Pennsylvania as well as portions of Ohio, West Virginia, New York, and Maryland, and holds one of the world’s largest natural gas reserves. It has been known that the Marcellus is a sizeable gas reservoir, but until the recent development of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, it had not been economically feasible to exploit it. These unconventional drilling methods currently used in Pennsylvania and other Marcellus regions are deeply controversial, with both experts and laypersons disagreeing over their threat to the environment and public health. The result has been great scientific and public uncertainty over the risks and rewards of Marcellus Shale development. This dissertation explores how Marcellus Shale development in Western Pennsylvania impacts the social lives of residents, and the ways in which residents respond to these impacts. In particular, I emphasize the social and cultural challenges of communities and how place-based meanings influence resident behavior. The data come from a comparative case study of two rural areas in Western Pennsylvania with differing intensity and duration of local shale gas development, Washington and Lawrence Counties. Washington County had its first unconventional shale well in 2004 and had 709 shale wells at the start of my fieldwork in October 2013. In contrast, Lawrence County had its first shale well in 2011, and had 20 shale wells when I began my research. Through multi-sited ethnography—which included field observations, participant observation at various public events, and open-ended interviews with residents and community stakeholders—I examine how variations in the duration and intensity of development may influence resident experiences and response with local shale development. This research finds that the main social and cultural challenges for Washington County residents were conflicts between old-timers and newcomers. Specifically, old-timers and newcomers experienced discord over the differences or perceived differences of opinion on local shale gas development. In Lawrence County, there was less conflict between old-timers and newcomers, and the conflicts that arose were often in response to the actions of outspoken anti-drilling activists. In both study counties, residents with primary ties to the physical aspects of place were dissatisfied with landscape changes brought about by local shale development and engaged in collective action in the attempt to change the way shale development was occurring, or to stop it altogether. While residents in Washington and Lawrence Counties had similar motivations for engaging in collective action—the protection of family, others, and home—they differed in their actions and strategies. Resident experiences with and actions toward local shale development varied between the two counties, which may be due to the differing intensities and duration of development. Washington County residents focused their collective strategies on encouraging local industry to conduct drilling more responsibly and Lawrence County, where collective action emerged at the exploratory stages of drilling, aimed to stop intense shale development before it began. The place-based variations uncovered between the two study counties raised important questions that warrant further study. In particular, is Washington County a unique case because it was the first county to experience shale development, or will we see similar experiences in communities with similarly long duration of drilling and intensity? How do counties in other Marcellus Shale regions respond to the occurrence of shale development? What other place-based characteristics should be taken into account when examining response to local shale development?

Full textThe aim of the doctoral thesis is to study the role of gender in the teaching guides of the courses that are included in the Education degrees, in Spanish public universities. To achieve this aim, three goals were set: a) To explore inclusion of gender in the teaching guides, within the Education degrees; b) To identify how gender is treated in each of the courses of the curricula; and c) To identify the elements that have an influence on how gender is treated and included in the teaching guides, in the Education degrees. In the first part of the research, we explained a concept of gender from the established difference between men and women, which is a product of an historical process that brings to the social construction of this concept; or as Burin and Meler (2000) conceptualize gender, as a net of beliefs, personality traits, attitudes, values, behaviours and activities which contradistinguish women and men. In second place, we explained the relationship of gender with the curriculum; and in third place, we described the university as an institution in which curricula are applied. The methodological approach of the research is descriptive-explanatory, focused on determining what is gender like and how it manifests, within the teaching guides of the courses in the Education curricula (degrees) in Spanish public universities; and on determining which elements favoured of tied down the inclusion of gender in the teaching guides, that are the physical representation of each of those courses. A mixed approach was used, obtaining and analysing data both in quantitative and in qualitative ways. In the first place, we realized a documentary analysis of the teaching guides of the curricula of Pre primary and Primary Education, Social Education and Pedagogy degrees, which are the four degrees that are more often taught in the Spanish public universities. A probability sampling was used, stratified according to the type of university. The first instrument applied was an on-line questionnaire, whose goal was to measure the level of importance that professors give to gender in the teaching guides; once the questionnaire was applied, data were introduced in a SPSS (v.17, Inc.) matrix, and descriptive and inferential analysis were carried out. Another instrument to collect data was the semi-structured interview; we interviewed 13 people, who were experts in the field of gender and the concepts that are related to it, and curriculum. All the interviews were transcribed, and codified with MAXQDA11 according to three great codes, that matched the answers and opinions of the experts. Results show a lack of presence of gender topic in the teaching plans; despite the existence of guidelines from governmental agencies such as the ANECA, both professors and the interviewed experts agree that the issue of gender has to increase its treatment in the curriculum. From the results of the theses, we intend to generate new research lines on the treatment of gender in training of teachers and education practitioners; and to invite policy makers within the university system to be aware of the need of the inclusion of gender issue.

Full textEl Sistema de Pensiones vigente en Chile, fue diseñado en base a dos objetivos: solidaridad y/oredistribución1 y alivio de la imprevisión, los cuales se materializan en un sistema de tres pilares. Un primerpilar solidario, el cual es no contributivo y se financia con impuestos generales, con lo que se redistribuyecierta riqueza hacia los individuos que no tengan los ingresos suficientes para alcanzar un mínimo establecidoque garantice una vejez digna. Un segundo pilar obligatorio y contributivo, el cual tiene como objetivosolucionar el problema de la imprevisión. Este pilar basado en la capitalización individual garantiza que elindividuo reciba una pensión de acuerdo a su historia de cotización, por lo que la responsabilidad que le cae alEstado en este pilar no es solidaria, sino que subdiaria, es decir debe velar para que el sistema funcione de laforma adecuada y para que los ciudadanos coticen de manera continua a lo largo de su vida laboral. Un tercerpilar voluntario, el cual también busca aliviar la imprevisión. Esto se hace necesario dado que con el pilarcontributivo no siempre se acumula un monto de pensión suficiente para que los individuos obtenganpensiones iguales o cercanas al promedio de sus ingresos laborales que tuvieron durante su época activa. Estepilar se basa principalmente sobre diferentes tipos de incentivos para que los individuos ahorren más y asípuedan garantizarse un mejor nivel de ingresos en la vejez. El tema de esta investigación es el Ahorro Previsional Voluntario (APV) el cual, tal como parte de su nombre lo señala y como se verá a lo largo de la investigación, cae dentro del tercer pilar. El objetivo del trabajo es analizar los determinantes de que un individuo conozca o no el APV y los determinantes de que un individuo realice o no APV. Antes de explicar las partes del trabajo será necesario hacer algunas aclaraciones. Según encuestas realizadas son pocos los ciudadanos que tienen un conocimiento, con cierto nivel de especificidad, del Sistema de Pensiones Chileno, lo que hace que muchos de ellos no tengan mucha conciencia de cuales serán o cuales no serán los beneficios que recibirán el día de mañana fruto de las decisiones que tomen hoy. Además el conocimiento del funcionamiento del sistema financiero, en general, tampoco es de fácil entendimiento, por lo que el APV se hace un mecanismo de ahorro doblemente difícil de comprender, ya que no sólo es parte del sistema de pensiones, sino que también es un ahorro ofrecido por varias industrias financieras. Por lo mismo, se hace necesario que el trabajo sea un poco repetitivo y que se señalen puntos que para muchos son obvios con la intención de que la mayor cantidad de personas posibles, dado la complejidad del tema, pueda acceder a un solo documento donde los aspectos más relevantes del APV estén bien explicados y el lector pueda comprender este mecanismo de ahorro de manera completa. La idea es entregar un mini-book del APV y que cualquier persona que tenga un conocimiento básico del sistema de pensiones pueda entenderlo y comprenderlo, no obstante para muchos que ya creen comprender bien el sistema de pensiones este trabajo, en muchos aspectos, también será un aporte.

Full textOver the past decade, vinyl records have re-emerged as a mainstream format for casual music listening, drastically increasing both in sales and media attention. The emotional relationship between collectors and the real and imagined places they associate with these records, a tactile medium in an age of digital downloading and internet streaming, is a key yet overlooked factor in this contemporary resurgence. Inspired by the extant literature on collecting, emotional geographies, and other post-structural understanding of affect, this study examines this trend in three ways: reviewing the history of the recording industry, observing specific spaces of vinyl consumption in the Los Angeles area, and interpreting individual opinions of record collectors. The study concludes with a post-structural assessment of the emotional geographies of collecting vinyl records in Los Angeles and throughout North America.

Full textMaterial y métodos: presentamos 84 casos de ojos con melanomas de úvea diagnosticados mediante examen clínico, en pacientes sin metástasis a los cuales se les ofreció tratamiento mediante braquiterapia ( I 125 / Ru 106 ) durante el periodo comprendido entre octubre de 1993 y abril del 2000, con un seguimiento mínimo de 12 meses. En 74 casos se utilizaron placas de Ru 106 y en 10 de I 125 . La altura inicial media eran 6,78 mm.
Resultados: usando el Kaplan-Meier, la visión final fue escasa ( ≤ 0,10 ) en el 60,7 % de los ojos. Las complicaciones en relación al tratamiento fueron: 20,3 % retinopatía, 14,3 % neuropatía, 14,3 % catarata y 13,1 % hemorragia vítrea. Las complicaciones fueron más frecuentes en mujeres y en los tumores localizados a nivel de cuerpo ciliar y yuxtapapilares. La enucleación fue necesaria en 6 casos.
Conclusiones: las placas de braquiterapia proporcionan control tumoral en la mayoría de los pacientes con melanomas de úvea seleccionados (> 3 mm y ≤ 9,3 altura ) a 1383 días, que de otro modo hubiesen sido enucleados. Un gran tamaño tumoral, hallazgos asociados y las complicaciones por la radiación son causa de la mala visión en la mayoría de los pacientes.
Objective: to assess efficiency of brachitherapy in eyes with choroidal melanoma and ciliar body melanoma treated with I125 and Ru106 radiactive plaques.
Patients and Methods: 84 patients with uveal melanomas were diagnosed by clinical examination, found to be negative for metastasic disease and offered I 125 or Ru 106 radioactive plaque treatment. From octuber 1993 to april 2000, 74 cases were treated with Ru 106 and 10 cases with I 125, with a minimal follow up 12 months. The inicial high was 6,78 mm.
Results: Using Kaplan-Meier estimates, final visual acuity was poor in 60,7 % at 1383 days ( 20/200 or worse ). Treatment-related complications included retinopathy ( 20,3 %), neuropathy ( 14,3 %), cataract ( 14,3 %) and vitreous hemorrhage ( 13,1 % ). Risk factors for complications included sex, proximity to the optic nerve and ciliary body involment. Enucleation was necessary in 6 cases.
Conclusions: plaque radiotherapy provided tumor control a 1383 days in most patients with selected uveal melanomas ( > 3 mm and ≤ 9,3 thick ) that otherwise would have been managed with enucleation. The large intraocular mass and associated features and radiation complications led to poor visual acuity in most patients.

Full textRight after a peace agreement is signed, the international community puts forward their plans for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of conflict-affected societies. These peace-building strategies are anticipatory narratives, outlining the process from war to sustainable peace as a causal sequence of transformations to be carried out or experienced by a given set of actors. In this dissertation, strategic plans are construed as policy narratives and we make use of J.A. Throgmorton’s framework of planning as persuasive storytelling. The concept of organized hypocrisy is used to account for the contradictions between the rhetorical and operational levels of strategic plans, and for the attainment of a consensus in spite of the different ideological positions held by policy-makers, practitioners and scholars involved in their drafting and implementation. This dissertation puts forward the hypothesis that the liberal discourse on peace-building managed to produce a persuasive—but also ambiguous and contradictory—narrative on postwar reconstruction that helped build an effective consensus among diverse components of the international community. Highly symbolic concepts and rhetorical devices were articulated around three main ideas: multidimensionality, a people-centred approach, and the notion of bottom-up transformation, and especially avoiding any explicit mention to state-making processes (the monopolization of the means of coercion, prior to its legitimation, in particular). Two periods are considered: the 1990s, during which an ample, liberal peace-building consensus was in place, and the 2000s, when it was replaced by a liberal-realist one. In the first period, the concept of the modern state was not transcended even by its critics, which would explain a largely smooth transition from people-centred peace-building to institution-based state-building, and the use of “peace” and “state” interchangeably. A review of the liberal peace-building consensus and its critiques is offered. A distinction among the concepts of statism, state-centrism and socio-centrism is made and the underlying theories of state discussed. It is shown how these debates are a new iteration of those taking place throughout the 20th Century on the processes of modernization and development. A partial analysis of eight post-conflict peace-building strategic plans is provided, along with a full analysis of the Afghanistan Compact (2006). There is also selected aggregated data of the corpus of 47 plans of international organizations and donor states of the period from 1992 to 2011. The narrative analysis is carried out in three parts dealing with theme, plot and character. It shows that the theme of recovery and progress reflects a modernist vision. A narrative network analysis is used to study plot. Graph modularity confirms the three main “pillars” of reconstruction: security, social and economic development, and political reform. An original centrality-based plot detection method is presented: We measure degree, betweenness, eccentricity and eigenvector in strategic storylines in order to detect their beginning, middle and end. The results are discussed paying special attention to the role of security and the State. Distribution of narrative attention and actantial analysis are used for the description of characters. It is revealed that despite the rhetoric about participation, ownership and empowerment, plans give the international community and the governments the role of heroes, while the people are assigned the role of victim.

Full textEn el siguiente estudio fue posible reconocer la existencia de una herramienta que contribuye a incrementar el valor de la empresa, representada por la planificación y gestión de los planes de carrera, pues con estos programas se impacta directamente la motivación de los empleados, lo que tiene efectos positivos en la productividad, la retención de talentos y en la reducción de los niveles de ausentismo y rotación. Los principales resultados de la investigación fueron la identificación de beneficios tanto para los empleados como para las organizaciones de contar con estos programas. En el primer caso, al reconocer la posibilidad de continuar adquiriendo y desarrollando competencias que permitan agregar valor a las carreras y que afecten positivamente la empleabilidad. En el segundo, al contribuir a que la organización mejore su capacidad de adaptación e innovación, al aumento de la productividad y al logro de un mayor compromiso de los trabajadores con una organización que se preocupa por su desarrollo, resultados basados en los efectos motivacionales que la implementación exitosa de este tipio de planes trae y al considerar la actualización e incorporación de nuevas habilidades en el personal. No obstante, también fue posible reconocer que para que estos beneficios se manifiesten, es necesario que existan ciertas condiciones en la organización tales como: considerar el tipo de empresa y estructura organizacional, proponer un mecanismo formal, incluir a todos los empleados, adecuada interrelación entre los subsistemas de Recursos Humanos y compromiso organizacional. El procedimiento para obtener los resultados anteriores se basó tanto en el estudio de la teoría referente al tema, en donde quedó en evidencia la estrecha relación que debe existir entre la motivación de los empleados y la administración, como en el análisis de un caso práctico, en donde se evaluó la relevancia de algunos indicadores de la gestión de personal. Si bien fue posible determinar el impacto a nivel económico del personal, no se pudo comprobar la existencia de un área de Gestión de Personal acorde a las exigencias para administrar los planes de carrera de los empleados, en donde gran parte de la información relevante se encuentra diseminada por diferentes estructuras, lo que dificulta la adecuada planificación de los recursos humanos y la evaluación de la efectividad de los planes implementados, como los programas de carrera.

Full textObjectives: 1) To determine if data on weight change in the placebo arm of RCT's for weight loss were available, and 2) to conduct a pilot meta-analysis to estimate the average weight change in the placebo arm. Methods: Four randomized placebo controlled trials of rimonabant for weight loss were retrieved. A draft data extraction form was developed to record weight loss and demographic data. Potential for bias was assessed on design issues related to withdrawals, blinding, allocation procedure, adherence, and manufacturer influence. Based on available data, a forest plot was constructed and heterogeneity was assessed. The a priori alpha level was 0.05. Results: The placebo groups from all studies were similar. The pooled data indicated that individuals in the placebo arm lost an average of 3.3 kg, p < 0.001. One study had a significantly greater completion rate than the other studies. Participants were prescribed a hypocaloric diet and were instructed to increase physical activity but no data were reported on calories consumed or amount of physical activity. Weight loss of 5% ranged from 15-20% of participants. There was potential for bias relating to reported adherence, allocation concealment process, and manufacturer funding. Conclusions: Participants in the placebo arm of rimonabant trials lost an average of 3.3 kg, which was statistically significant. Little can be learned about weight loss in the placebo arm because no data on calories consumed, amount of exercise, or hunger were reported. Information from other RCT's is needed to provide additional data and to confirm the findings.

Full textThe Preferential School Subsidy Act (SEP Law) has become one of the educational policies implemented in Chile with a greater economic impact due to it provides resources to the schools in which the enrolled students seem to be more expensive for being educated . With the SEP Law, the schools agree new commitments with the Ministry of Education through an agreement called “Agreement on Equal Opportunities and Educational Excellence” . It makes the schools compulsory to apply School Improvement Plans (PME) for the design, monitoring and execution of these commitments. Almost ten years after the beginning of the law as well as the Educational Improvement Plans, to understand to what extent these improvement plans may have been contributing to improving the educational performance is crucial. It is especially important in those centers in which the progress in terms of results has not increased but has kept low or zigzagging, lacking continuous improvement as it could be expected with the PMEs’ implementation. This research shows that educational improvement plans do not seem to have any significant effect on schools because, during these ten years, the 71.32% of educational centers have remained in the category initially assigned by the Ministry of Education. Different factors could be influencing this situation. The lack of participation of the educational community in the entire process of planning, implementation and evaluation, as well as the time allocated to each of the PMEs’ phases, seem to be, among other, some explicative factors.

Full textEn este trabajo, utilizando los disparos del R/V M.G. Langseth se obtiene un modelo bidimensional (2D) de velocidad de onda P, en las líneas MC06 (perpendicular a la fosa) y MC32 (paralela a la fosa) del proyecto PICTURES (Pisagua/Iquique Crustal Tomography to Understand the Region of the Earthquake Source), por medio de una modelación directa de reflexiones y refracciones de ondas P, para caracterizar estructuras del margen convergente del norte de Chile. Con los modelos de velocidad se transforman los perfiles de reflexión en tiempo (Two Way Travel Time) a profundidad de reflectores, lo cual nos permite hacer interpretaciones del modelo de velocidad y correlacionar las zonas de cambios importantes de velocidad con estructuras geológicas observadas en los perfiles. Hasta la fecha no existen otros modelos detallados de velocidad en la zona de estudio de este proyecto, por lo que obtención de modelos de velocidad son un aporte para entender la estructura del margen en la zona de ruptura del terremoto de Iquique (Mw 8.1,2014). Este estudio permite también identificar la zona del prisma frontal y la cuña continental fracturada y determinar su extensión horizontal, determinar la geometría del contacto interplaca en la zona cercana a la fosa y estudiar las variaciones norte-sur de la cu na continental y la geometría del contacto, que pueden correlacionarse el patrón de ruptura del terremoto de Iquique 2014. Los resultados del modelo de velocidad y el perfil de reflexión muestran que, en la línea MC06 perpendicular a la fosa, existe un peque no prisma frontal con velocidades de 2-3 km/s, con un rápido aumento de velocidad hacia el continente. Hacia el continente observamos un basamento, del cual aumenta gradualmente su velocidad y que se encuentra cubierto por una capa delgada de sedimentos, la cual se engrosa notablemente en la parte superior del talud, donde se ubica la cuenca de Iquique con espesor sedimentario de unos 2 km. Se identifica además un extenso fallamiento normal, el cual abarca prácticamente la totalidad del talud. En la línea MC32 encontramos que las velocidades de la zona frontal son similares en general. En la zona norte se observa un reflector intermedio importante entre el fondo oceánico y el techo de la placa oceánica. Este reflector estaría asociado a una zona de basamento bajo una capa de sedimentos, producto de la disminución del tamaño del prisma y un leve alejamiento de la línea con respecto a la fosa. Como conclusión se obtienen resultados consistentes con otros trabajos y con la tectónica de la zona. Los resultados se interpretan como evidencia de erosión por subducción, que provoca el colapso de la placa cabalgante mediante gran cantidad de fallas normales y un fracturamiento de zona frontal de la cuña continental.. Se identifica también un pequeño prisma de acreción que podría estar actuando como una zona asímica, explicando la distribución del réplicas del terremoto de Iquique.
