At an industrial level, the design, execution, control and evaluation of certain processes requires the intervention of experts.
Process is a concept that can refer to the action of advancing or moving forward , to the passage of time and to the set of successive stages observed in a natural phenomenon or necessary to carry out an artificial operation. The notion of process finds its roots in the term of Latin origin processus , according to the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) .
From a legal perspective, a process is the addition and evaluation of written documentation in any civil or criminal case that serves to understand and clarify the facts.
Process in biology and computer science
In the field of biology , evolutionary process refers to the continuous transformation of species as a result of modifications developed over successive generations. In this context, evolution is a biological process that can be seen in the alteration of allele frequencies in a given population .
The process of cell division , the process of digestion , the process of excretion , the process of photosynthesis , the process of cellular respiration and the process of protein synthesis are other processes that occur in the field of biology.
On the other hand, it must be said that in computing , a process is a set of procedures or functions that have one or more objectives. Software (programs) and computer systems can execute more than one process simultaneously, aided or not by a processor with multiple cores . This way of working is known as multi-threading , which comes from English and could be translated as multiple threads . An example of this could be in a game that has a process for background music, another for drawing its characters and settings, and a third for artificial intelligence.
For many analysts, the process of global warming is a problem that requires urgent strategies for its mitigation.
The concept in the area of psychology
In the field of psychology, we speak of cognitive processes to refer to the psychological mechanisms that are linked to perception , memorization and the abilities to pay attention, remember and think, which are considered fundamental to the functioning of the psyche of every human being.
For these processes to develop, the correct functioning of several areas of the brain is essential; if any of these processes cannot develop within normal parameters, an injury or some type of disorder is evident in one of these brain regions.
The study of cognitive processes is something implemented by modern psychology but which has allowed us to reach highly significant conclusions regarding the understanding of the brain.
Boiling is a physical process since no modification of the structure of the matter is recorded.
The process in the economy and industry
In the context of economics , we speak of a production process or productive process to refer to the transformation of inputs (inputs) into outputs (goods and services), thanks to the use of physical, technological and human resources, among others.
On the other hand, it is interesting to note that a business process is based on various logically linked activities that are carried out in order to obtain a specific business result. In this context, each business process has its own inputs, functions and outputs.
For industry, the so-called manufacturing process or industrial process consists of implementing all the operations needed to modify the particularities of each raw material . Generally, to obtain a certain product, various individual operations are required.
Self-designation of the military dictatorship in Argentina
To close this definition we will give the definition of the National Reorganization Process , the name given to the military dictatorship that came to power through force in Argentina during the period from 1976 to 1983 .
It began with a coup d'état that overthrew the government of María Estela Martínez de Perón; from then on, the Armed Forces came to represent the supreme power of the country, not only electing presidents who belonged to the organization, but also removing from office all those who were not part of it and placing people linked to the Armed Forces in their positions.
Characteristics of the National Reorganization Process
The fundamental characteristics of this period in Argentine history were repression that was taken to unimaginable limits, with innumerable tortures, state terrorism, crimes against humanity and countless violations of human rights. Thousands of people disappeared at the hands of the military: of all of them only some were found, others are known to have been murdered and a large number are unaccounted for.
The violence was not only on the side of the Armed Forces , but also involved the massacre of the paramilitary group Triple A and certain guerrilla organizations, such as the ERP (which defended the Marxist-Guevarist ideology) and Montoneros (which supported Peronism).
Economically , the Process (the short name given to the anti-democratic government of this period) radically changed certain economic customs, with the implementation of the neoliberal model outlined by the economists of the Chicago School . Some of the measures were deindustrialization and a focus on growth in the financial sector and the monopoly of land in the hands of large landowners. During this period poverty grew considerably , and some researchers claim that the crisis experienced later in the country was possibly a consequence of the poor management of the economy during the military dictatorship .
The presidents who held office during the military government were Jorge Rafael Videla, Roberto Eduardo Viola, Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri and Reynaldo Bignone .
In 1982 , after having led the country into apathy, having savagely murdered innocent people and ruined the lives of many others, imposing force and fear as the undisputed protagonists of social life, the military called for elections, seeing that their power was weakening more and more and that they would not be able to stay in power for much longer. It was in 1983 when the first president of the democratic era after that disastrous period took office: Raúl Alfonsín .
