Emotional Business Intelligence : Enabling experience-centric business with the FeelingsExplorer
2014
The domain of Emotional Business Intelligence (EBI) aims to support business-relevant emotional and emotionaware decisions in addition to rational decision making. EBI originates from three root domains: Emotional Business, Emotional Intelligence and Business Intelligence (BI). In this paper we emphasize emotional empowerment of the traditional BI function; outline its main characteristics as a business working model of an emotionally smart, continuously learning organization; and introduce a first candidate of the EBI Toolkit, the FeelingsExplorer (FE). FE is a mash-up browser based on 4i (“ForEye”) technology, capable of visualizing objects in an emotional semantic space and thereby suppo…
Standardization of islet isolation outcome- A new automatic system to determine pancreatic islet viability
2011
Pancreatic islet transplantation is emerging as a therapeutic approach for patients affected by diabetes. This approach consists of a minimally invasive procedure replacing insulin-producing cells (pancreatic islets). The technique has been proven successful, but limitations have been identified. One of the major challenges of the procedure is the counting of the isolated pancreatic islets, which is currently jeopardized by subjectivity and inaccuracy. Determination of the accurate islet number is a crucial factor in determining the correlation between the isolation product and clinical outcome. In the proposed study, we have developed software capable of objectively evaluating islet number…
Generalization Capacity Analysis of Non- Intrusive Load Monitoring using Deep Learning
2020
Appliance Load Monitoring is a technique used to monitor devices existing in homes, industry or naval vessels. Acquisition of device-level data can provide great benefits in many areas such as energy management, demand response, and load forecasting. However, the monitoring process is often provided with a costly installation, as it requires a large number of sensors and a data center. Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) is an alternative and cost-efficient load monitoring solution. Simply put, NILM is the process of obtaining device-level data by analyzing the aggregated data read from the main meter that measures the electricity consumption of the whole house. Before NILM analysis is per…
Classification of Solutions to the Minimum Energy Problem in One Dimensional Sensor Networks
2016
We classify of the minimum energy problem in one dimensional wireless sensor networks for the data transmission cost matrix which is a power function of the distance between transmitter and receiver with any real exponent. We show, how these solutions can be utilized to solve the minimum energy problem for the data transmission cost matrix which is a linear combination of two power functions. We define the minimum energy problem in terms of the sensors signal power, transmission time and capacities of transmission channels. We prove, that for the point-to-point data transmission method utilized by the sensors in the physical layer, when the transmitter adjust the power of its radio signal t…
Item Response Trees: a recommended method for analyzing categorical data in behavioral studies
2015
Behavioral data are notable for presenting challenges to their statistical analysis, often due to the difficulties in measuring behavior on a quantitative scale. Instead, a range of qualitative alternative responses is recorded. These can often be understood as the outcome of a sequence of binary decisions. For example, faced by a predator, an individual may decide to flee or stay. If it stays, it may decide to freeze or display a threat and if it displays a threat, it may choose from several alternative forms of display. Here we argue that instead of being analyzed using traditional nonparametric statistics or a series of separate analyses split by response categories, this kind of data ca…

Strategic and motivational factors as predictors of pre-service primary teachers's success in problem solving
2014
En este trabajo se presenta una investigación descriptiva que muestra las relaciones entre cinco factores motivacionales y estratégicos (planificación, estrategias cognitivas, autocontrol, esfuerzo y autoeficacia) y el rendimiento en la resolución de problemas. Se administró a 66 maestras y maestros de primaria en formación un cuadernillo con dos problemas (problema 1 y problema 2) y el test de O'Neil y Schacter. Los resultados de los análisis de regresión múltiple ponen de manifiesto que: a) planificación, esfuerzo y autoeficacia son predictores significativos de las puntuaciones de las puntuaciones del problema de estructura simple (problema 1); b) esfuerzo, autoeficacia y estrategias cog…
Towards Ethical Guidelines of Using Telepresence Robots in Residential Care
2021
AbstractRobotic telepresence is a potential technology to help alleviating the loneliness of elderly people. The impacts of long-term use of telepresence robots in residential care are not well known. We were interested in how using a telepresence robot influences the resident, family members and care workers at a facility, and what challenges and solutions there are for wider adoption of such robots in residential care. With a telepresence robot Double, we arranged a series of three trials in two separate residential care facilities: one 12-week trial in a private facility and two successive 6-week trials in a public facility. In each trial, we installed the telepresence robot in a room of…
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2017
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave en español e inglés Disponible la versión en inglés El objetivo es analizar el proyecto de nuevo cuestionario diseñado por la Universidad del País Vasco (UPV/EHU) para realizar la evaluación de sus docentes (SET). Se analizan las respuestas de una muestra de 941 estudiantes y se estudia la fiabilidad del cuestionario, la dimensionalidad, la validez de constructo y criterial, finalizando con un estudio diferencial tomando en cuenta variables como el género, el campo disciplinar, el nivel percibido de dificultad o el interés de las materias. Los resultados permiten afirmar que se trata de un instrumento de alta consistenc…
