A methodological proposal for designing a local cultural indicators system based on the strategic planning
2014
En este trabajo se presenta una propuesta metodológica para el diseño de un Sistema de Indicadores Culturales locales que toma como marco de referencia las Estadísticas Culturales de la UNESCO y la Agenda 21 de la Cultura. El Sistema de Indicadores que se propone queda configurado -en función de los objetivos perseguidos, los indicadores culturales requeridos y los usuarios involucrados- en un Sistema Básico y un Sistema Estratégico, y posibilita el seguimiento y evaluación del desempeño de la política cultural local. This paper aims to propose a theoretical framework for designing a Local Cultural Indicators System by considering the one provided by UNESCO for Cultural Statistics and the A…
MRI pattern recognition in multiple sclerosis normal-appearing brain areas
2011
ObjectiveHere, we use pattern-classification to investigate diagnostic information for multiple sclerosis (MS; relapsing-remitting type) in lesioned areas, areas of normal-appearing grey matter (NAGM), and normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) as measured by standard MR techniques.MethodsA lesion mapping was carried out by an experienced neurologist for Turbo Inversion Recovery Magnitude (TIRM) images of individual subjects. Combining this mapping with templates from a neuroanatomic atlas, the TIRM images were segmented into three areas of homogenous tissue types (Lesions, NAGM, and NAWM) after spatial standardization. For each area, a linear Support Vector Machine algorithm was used in mult…
Distribution and categorization of left ventricular measurements in the general population: results from the population-based Gutenberg Heart Study.
2010
Background— Echocardiography, the dominant imaging modality for quantification of left ventricular metrics, has undergone continuing development in the past few decades. However, given the lack of population-based data, current guidelines are still based on restricted and small data sets analyzed with methods including expert opinion. This work presents empirically derived reference values from a large-scale, epidemiologic study conducted with state-of-the-art imaging technology and methods. Methods and Results— The distribution of echocardiographic measurements of the left ventricle was analyzed in a population-based sample of 5000 mid-Europeans from the Gutenberg Heart Study in Germany. …
Gully erosion susceptibility assessment by means of GIS-based logistic regression: A case of Sicily (Italy)
2014
article i nfo Article history: This research aims at characterizing susceptibility conditions to gully erosion by means of GIS and multivariate statistical analysis. The study area is a 9.5 km 2 river catchment in central-northern Sicily, where agriculture ac- tivities are limited by intense erosion. By means of field surveys and interpretation of aerial images, we prepared a digitalmap of thespatial distribution of 260 gulliesinthestudy area.Inaddition,fromavailable thematicmaps, a 5 m cell size digital elevation model and field checks, we derived 27 environmental attributes that describe the variability of lithology, land use, topography and road position. These attributes were selected f…
Un outil pour les politiques scolaires: "Prospective scolaire"
2012
Today, territorial, demographic evolutions can be quick, which encourages towns to reconsider the geography of public services. This is notably the case of General Councils that handle the localisation of public middle schools and establish school sectors. Carrying out these tasks requires taking into account several parameters: demographic dynamics, urban projects, social diversity within schools, and transportation conditions. The tool 'Prospective Scolaire' integrates these multiple data in order to help communities carry out their tasks.
Epigrafía funeraria nazarí: el epitafio de al-Yanaštī (835/1436)
2016
Este artículo analiza la epigrafía funeraria nazarí y establece la estructura de los epitafios andalusíes conservados datables entre los siglos XIII y XV. Se estudia también una pieza arqueológica cuyo exacto origen se desconoce, aunque se puede deducir que apareció en la región de Granada. La piedra se usó en el siglo XV para grabar el epitafio de un hombre musulmán cuyo texto se conserva completo en siete líneas de escritura árabe cursiva en relieve. Formó parte de la colección del Duque de Santa Lucía y hoy integra el lapidario árabe del Museo Arqueológico Nacional (Nº. Inv. 1962/34/15).
Assessment of natural hazards in urban planning policies of the municipalities in the province of Alicante (Spain). Legislation and risk mapping
2018
Los espacios urbanos se han convertido en territorios proclives al daño económico y pérdida de vidas humanas con ocasión de episodios de rango extremo de origen natural. Ello es debido a la acumulación de población y actividades en el medio urbano y a la deficiente planificación urbana, que no ha tenido en cuenta, hasta fechas muy recientes, el problema de la peligrosidad natural y sus efectos territoriales en los procesos de asignación de usos en el suelo. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el grado de cumplimiento de la obligación de incorporar cartografía de riesgo en la documentación de planeamiento urbanístico en la provincia de Alicante a partir de 2008. Para ello, se ha co…
Replanteamiento de fondo en la enseñanza de la filosofía : temas y apropiación
2017
Deeply rethinking the teaching of philosophy: problems and appropriation Resumen: ?Para que sirve la filosofia? es la pregunta que se hace desde fuera de la comunidad filosofica y cuya respuesta puede abrir puertas o poner serios obstaculos a su consolidacion como asignatura. El permanente cuestionamiento externo por la “falta de utilidad” y la constante labor apologetica que genera, parecen ser un indicio de que la filosofia requiere innovacion en algunos aspectos de su ensenanza. A fin de contribuir con este esfuerzo es imprescindible identificar los problemas, y se determina que la falta de interaccion con la ciencia puede ser uno de ellos. Se presentan dos ideas que se enlazan metodolo…
GIS applications in archaeology
2011
The diffusion of the use of Geographical Information Systems in archaeology has considerably increased in recent years. This multiplicity of applications is due mainly to the growing interest of archaeologists in modern methodologies for the management of archaeological data, surveyed by topographic, photogrammetric and remote sensing techniques. GIS have become a fundamental tool for managing, sharing, analyzing and visualizing spatially referenced data and they are completely substituting the traditional techniques used by archaeologists, based upon filling out forms, graphics and other paper documents. Besides in the modern global society, dominated by mass media such as Internet, the is…
