Concept in Definition ABC

The term adjustment, generally and in most of the diverse contexts in which it can be applied always refers to the same thing, the union, adaptation or accommodation of one thing with respect to another that is closely linked to the first and that in this way allows the correct operation, either of a mechanical part that is in the car engine and that then allows it to start, or, already in a totally different context, such as the dialogue table between a union that represents the interests of a certain group of workers with the government, the agreement in favor of an adjustment, for example, implies and serves to speak of the agreement that they reached and the final point to the discrepancies that were in question between they.

The setting, then, It is a widely studied relationship and necessary to be present in precision mechanics, since as we anticipated above, the life of the latter will depend on the coupling between two key pieces that belong to an industrial machine or equipment.

The mechanical adjustment To be realized, it will need an axis on one side and a hole on the other, which coincide, of course, as a condition sine qua non, in order to achieve a successful coupling between the two pieces. Meanwhile, if, on the contrary, any of these exceeds the measure, both pieces cannot in any way be adjusted, but To prevent this last situation from happening is that there are ISO standards that control and establish tolerances to the respect. By extension, these same guidelines are focused on other areas of technology, such as the computing. Thus, not only is adjustment essential when we consider the mechanisms involved with the correct placement of a circuit, a chip or a peripheral in a computer, but also when trying to make the execution of a program compatible with a operating system determined. In this way, environments have been "adjusted" that allow a classic Windows operating system program to run on a computer running Linux, among other situations.

In another order, the fit concept it is also transferable to the biological sciences. Physiological adjustments are part of the daily reality of millions of living beings, especially in the context of changing environmental conditions (the weather, the humidity level, the number of predators ...). Slightly more specifically, in human medicine an adjustment is indicated when it is proposed to modify a pharmacological treatment. In these cases, the adjustment It is often called a degree; Thus, when the dosage of a product is inadequate, the adjustment is indicated in the way of administration, the indicated daily amount or the frequency of use of that particular drug.

On the other hand, the word adjustment, also ranks high in economic issues, although in this context, its application, although it does not have that effect or purpose, has a generally negative connotation, since it is used to refer to the politics that many governments have implemented and which has resulted in the contraction of wages and salaries of the public workers to reduce the fiscal deficit, the fearsome "bogeyman" of most world economies, by certain. Adjustment processes usually mark the citizen history of a nation, especially when the final consequences are enough to raise unemployment rates, credit interest rates and other indicators that have a detrimental impact on the population.

As we can see, adjustment is part of the most diverse processes (everyday and not so much) of people's lives, therefore whose knowledge is integrated into the tools we have to improve numerous parameters of our reality.
