Robustly correlated key‐medical image for DNA‐chaos based encryption
2021
Abstract Medical images include confidential and sensitive information about patients. Hence, ensuring the security of these images is a crucial requirement. This paper proposes an efficient and secure medical image encryption‐decryption scheme based on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), one‐dimensional chaotic maps (tent and logistic maps), and hash functions (SHA‐256 and MD5). The first part of the proposed scheme is the key generation based on the hash functions of the image and its metadata. The key then is highly related and intensely sensitive to the original image. The second part is the rotation and permutation of the first two MSB bit‐plans of the medical image to reduce its black backgr…
AI-enabled adaptive learning systems: A systematic mapping of the literature
2021
Abstract Mobile internet, cloud computing, big data technologies, and significant breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have all transformed education. In recent years, there has been an emergence of more advanced AI-enabled learning systems, which are gaining traction due to their ability to deliver learning content and adapt to the individual needs of students. Yet, even though these contemporary learning systems are useful educational platforms that meet students’ needs, there is still a low number of implemented systems designed to address the concerns and problems faced by many students. Based on this perspective, a systematic mapping of the literature on AI-enabled adaptive le…

Associations between changes in physical fitness and psychological difficulties status among Norwegian adolescents
2021
Abstract Objectives To investigate the associations for one-year changes in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength and body mass index, with psychological difficulties status in adolescents. Methods Norwegian 14-15-year-olds (n = 925) participated in data collection at two time points separated by one year. Psychological difficulties were assessed via the Strengths and Difficulties questionnaire and data from follow-up serve as the dependent variable. Cardiorespiratory fitness (the Andersen-test), muscular strength (Eurofit) and body mass index were measured. Change scores were calculated from the physical fitness variables and serve as independent variables in linear mixed effects mo…
La eclosión de la prensa satírica en España (1868-1874)
2018
espanolEl nacimiento y consolidacion de la prensa satirica en el periodo revolucionario de 1868-1874, constituye el tema central de este trabajo. Convertidos en instrumento de propaganda por los liberales desde 1808, los periodicos satiricos pronto demostraron su capacidad de influencia sobre un pueblo que, si no podia leer, al menos podia escuchar recitados sus textos o ver sus dibujos comicos. A traves de estos periodicos se desarrollo una intensa y eficaz via de politizacion que culmina en la situacion revolucionaria de 1868-1874 con la proliferacion de cabeceras y la emergencia de sendas culturas politicas: una revolucionaria democratica, otra contrarrevolucionaria carlista.

"Slitsomt, men gøy!" : en kvalitativ studie om den nyutdannede anestesisykepleieren sin opplevelse av kompetanse av yrkesutøvelsen
2014
Masteroppgave i spesialsykepleie – Universitetet i Agder 2014 Background: With the technological and medical development we are experiencing today, the anesthesia nurse is constantly challenged with complex patient situations and advanced medical equipment in their work . This situation leads to substantial professional requirements on expertise in the anesthesia subject. International research shows that there are many factors that influence a nurses' experiences in their first year of working after graduation. However, in Norway there is little research on the experience of own competency for newly qualified anesthesia nurses. Purpose and issue: The purpose of this study is to learn how t…
Implementation and evaluation of medical imaging techniques based on conformal geometric algebra
2020
Medical imaging tasks, such as segmentation, 3D modeling, and registration of medical images, involve complex geometric problems, usually solved by standard linear algebra and matrix calculations. In the last few decades, conformal geometric algebra (CGA) has emerged as a new approach to geometric computing that offers a simple and efficient representation of geometric objects and transformations. However, the practical use of CGA-based methods for big data image processing in medical imaging requires fast and efficient implementations of CGA operations to meet both real-time processing constraints and accuracy requirements. The purpose of this study is to present a novel implementation of …
Un modelo en Drosophila del mecanismo de patogénesis de las expansiones ctg en la distrofia miotónica.
2007
La distrofia miotónica tipo 1 (DM1) es una enfermedad neuromuscular que se debe auna expansión de repeticiones CTG inestables en la región 3' no traducida del genproteína kinasa de la DM (DMPK). La DM1 se caracteriza por la miotonía y distrofiamuscular que muestran los pacientes, los cuales también presentan cataratas,arritmias cardiacas y alteraciones neuropatológicas. A nivel bioquímico muestrandefectos en el procesado alternativo de pre-mRNAs específicos lo cual explica algunossíntomas definitorios de la DM1. El mecanismo de patogénesis se debe a la toxicidadde los RNAs con expansiones CUG para la célula. Varias proteínas de unión a RNA,como las proteínas humanas Muscleblind-like MBNL1-3…
Más allá de Marx: postobrerismo y posmarxismo. Una revisión de los fundamentos teóricos de la multitud y el pueblo
2018
The article is a synthetic essay that exposes the main theoretical lines of the postmarxist approach of Laclau and Mouffe, on the one hand, and the autonomist post-operaism of Negri, Hardt, Virno, etc., on the other hand. These theories are conceived as attempts to rationalize current political bets by various political sectors and social movements. It analyzes both argumentative strategies from «orthodox» Marxism and the structure / superstructure relationship; and the forms of constitution of new subjectivities. It compares the theoretical fundamentals of hegemonic articulations and counter-power experiences. It discusses, likewise, the scope and limitations of the categories of «people» …
Trabajo y TIC en los mayores de 45 años. Un análisis de la introducción al ciberespacio desde la esfera laboral
2018
The inequality in access to cyberspace due to age at the beginning of the twenty-first century was followed by an economic crisis that intensified many socio-labor dynamics. Through a contextualization with INE data and a qualitative sample, the following work tries to capture the attitudes about ICT related to their previous labor trajectories on those over 45 years of age; and, on the other hand, its introduction to cyberspace from work as a conditioner in the perception of crisis, the maintenance of employment or their way out to retirement.
