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's 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 talk about the agreement they reached and the end point to the discrepancies that were in question between them.
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 a piece of equipment or industrial machine.
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 be adjusted in any way, but to prevent this last situation from happening, there are ISO standards that control and establish tolerances in this regard. By extension, these same guidelines are focused on other areas of technology, such as computing. Thus, adjustment is not only 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 specific operating system. 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 (climate, humidity level, 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 in the route of administration, the indicated daily amount or the frequency of use of that particular drug is indicated.
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 economic policy that many governments have implemented and that has as a result the contraction of salaries and salaries of public workers to reduce the fiscal deficit, the fearsome "bogeyman" of most world economies, by the way. Adjustment processes often mark the civic history of a nation, especially when the final consequences reach to raise unemployment rates, interest rates on loans and other indicators that cause 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, which is why their knowledge is integrated into the tools we have to improve numerous parameters of our reality.
