El desarrollo de la investigación está dirigida a descubrir la relación entre las variables clima institucional y gestión Académica en la Facultad de Ciencias Aplicadas, la investigación es de tipo aplicada con un nivel descriptivo correlacional, se utilizó el método científico, analítico – sintético, descriptivo e histórico. El diseño de la presente investigación es descriptivo correlacional. Se formula como problema general. ¿Cuál es la relación que existe entre el clima institucional y la Gestión académica en la Facultad de Ciencias Aplicadas?, teniendo la siguiente hipótesis: existe relación significativa entre el clima institucional y la gestión académica en la Facultad de Ciencias Aplicadas. La muestra estuvo conformada por 10 docentes y 10 estudiantes pertenecientes al quinto superior, para recoger los datos se empleó la técnica de la encuesta. En conclusión: La investigación ha demostrado que no existe relación significativa entre el clima institucional y la gestión académica en la Facultad de Ciencias Aplicadas. Tras la aplicación del Coeficiente de Correlación de Pearson “clima institucional y gestión académica, se halló lo siguiente: Como el estadístico t = -0,201 se encuentra entre los valores críticos t 0,025=-2,31 y t0,975=2,31; este cae en la región no crítica, lo cual nos indica que se debe aceptar la hipótesis nula y rechazar la hipótesis alterna. En consecuencia, se puede decir el clima institucional no se relacionan significativamente con la gestión académica, para un nivel de confianza de 95%. Tesis

Horses and elephants have extreme foot designs; horses have an unguligrade foot posture with small, single-toed, rigid hooves housing a small fibrous digital cushion, whereas elephants have large, multi-toed, functionally plantigrade, compliant feet with large adipose filled digital cushions. The morphology of the digital cushion is divergent in these species, in terms of its size, shape, volume, composition and organisation. In the context of foot-ground contact this is interesting, because feet nonetheless have to perform similar mechanical functions in all terrestrial species. How well the digital cushion functions under load may contribute to the aetiopathogenesis of foot disease; a sub-optimal digital cushion is less likely to distribute (and thus reduce) high pressures, moderate impact shock and vibration, or prevent unwarranted bone displacement. In this study, we seek to understand how the digital cushion morphologies evident in horse and elephant feet influence internal and external foot pressures. Our novel use of invasive blood pressure monitoring equipment, combined with a pressure pad and force plate, enabled measurements of (ex vivo) digital cushion pressure under increasing axial loads in seven horse and six elephant forefeet. Linear mixed effects models (LMER) revealed that internal digital cushion pressures increase under load and differ depending on region; elephant feet experienced higher magnitudes of medial digital cushion pressure, whereas horse feet experienced higher magnitudes of centralised digital cushion pressure. Direct comparison of digital cushion pressure magnitudes in both species, at equivalent loads relative to body weight, revealed that medial and lateral pressures increased more rapidly with load in elephant limbs. Within the same approximate region, internal pressures exceeded external, palmar pressures (on the sole of the foot), supporting previous Finite Element (FE) predictions. High pressures and large variations in pressure may relate to the development of foot pathology, which is a major concern in horses and elephants in a captive/domestic environment. We suggest that heterogeneity within the digital cushion allows it to perform conflicting mechanical functions during locomotion; different digital cushion regions may be responsible for specific functions and therefore feature appropriate properties to do so. Determining how internal structures such as the digital cushion respond to locomotor loading is essential to understanding foot health and pathology, as well as the functional consequences of evolutionary changes in foot morphology.
