La inteligencia artificial, la robótica autónoma y el big data en la narrativa de una Europa unida en la diversidad
2021
La literatura científica que se ha generado sobre la integración de Europa suele centrarse en investigaciones que se desarrollaron poco después de finalizar la II Guerra Mundial en los ámbitos social, político y económico. Con esta tesis doctoral se incorpora una aproximación desde la ciencia y la tecnología que trata de comprender cómo se han construido socialmente la inteligencia artificial, la robótica autónoma y el big data en Europa entre 1950 y 2019. ¿Puede reconocerse alguna narrativa basada en estas tecnologías que hubiese influido en el proceso de integración de los Estados europeos? ¿Emergió algún estilo tecnológico de la inteligencia artificial genuino de la Unión Europea? Damos …
Diseño e implementación de una aplicación en Processing para la representación visual de datos multidimensionales utilizando técnicas de Minería de D…
2015
La posibilidad de disponer de representaciones gráficas de los datos es de gran valor a la hora de extraer conocimiento útil. Sus principales ventajas son la visualización de información de una forma sencilla, rápida y directa. No obstante, muchos de los conjuntos de datos contienen numerosos registros, que pueden ser de naturaleza multivariante. En estos casos, la representación visual de datos se convierte en una tarea complicada y las técnicas clásicas que suelen utilizarse obtienen resultados poco intuitivos. Esta tesis se plantea como objetivo el diseño e implementación de una aplicación versátil capaz de representar visualmente gran cantidad de datos multidimensionales de forma eficaz…
Central nervous system involvement at first relapse in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia treated with all-trans retinoic acid and anthracycl…
2009
Background The prevalence of and risk factors for central nervous system recurrence in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia are not well established and remain a controversial matter. Design and Methods Between 1996 and 2005, 739 patients with newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia enrolled in two consecutive trials (PETHEMA LPA96 and LPA99) received induction therapy-with all-trans retinoic acid and idarubicin. Consolidation therapy comprised three courses of anthracycline monochemotherapy (LPA96), with all-trans retinoic acid and reinforced doses of idarubicin in patients with an intermediate or high risk of relapse (LPA99). Central nervous system prophylaxis was not given. Re…
Posttraumatic carotid-cavernous fistula: Pathogenetic mechanisms, diagnostic management and proper treatment. A case report.
2016
Journal Article; UNLABELLED Carotid-cavernous fistulas are an uncommon diseases characterized by abnormal communications between arteries and veins located in the cavernous sinus. According with Barrow´s classification they could be divided in two groups: direct and indirect. The typical symptoms showed by theses pathologies are: pulsating exophthalmos and orbital blow. The present study describes a case of direct posttraumatic carotid-cavernous fistula in a 26 years old man. Furthermore, we present the images that we used to make the diagnosis. In this light, we decided to treat this case with endovascular approach after considering several therapeutic options. The aim of the present repor…
Perspectives for the Treatment of Brucellosis in the 21st Century: The Ioannina Recommendations
2007
Policy Forum. Competing interests: ER has received research grants from Daiichi, Bayer, and Theravance and has served as a consultant to Pfizer, Theravance, Bayer, Wyeth, Rosetta, and BiondVax. Summary Points Brucellosis remains the commonest anthropozoonosis worldwide, and its treatment remains complex, requiring protracted administration of more than one antibiotic. In November 2006, a consensus meeting aimed at reaching a common specialist statement on the treatment of brucellosis was held in Ioannina, Greece under the auspices of the International Society of Chemotherapy and the Institute of Continuing Medical Education of Ioannina. The author panel suggests that the optimal treatment o…
Patients' and physicians' preferences for type 2 diabetes mellitus treatments in Spain and Portugal: a discrete choice experiment.
2015
Objective: To assess Spanish and Portuguese patients' and physicians' preferences regarding type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatments and the monthly willingness to pay (WTP) to gain benefits or avoid side effects. Methods: An observational, multicenter, exploratory study focused on routine clinical practice in Spain and Portugal. Physicians were recruited from multiple hospitals and outpatient clinics, while patients were recruited from eleven centers operating in the public health care system in different autonomous communities in Spain and Portugal. Preferences were measured via a discrete choice experiment by rating multiple T2DM medication attributes. Data were analyzed using the cond…
Self-reported antibiotic stewardship and infection control measures from 57 intensive care units: An international ID-IRI survey
2022
Infection control; Multidrug resistance; Stewardship Control de infección; Resistencia a múltiples fármacos; Administración Control d'infecció; Resistència a múltiples fàrmacs; Administració We explored the self-reported antibiotic stewardship (AS), and infection prevention and control (IPC) activities in intensive care units (ICUs) of different income settings. A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire to collect data about IPC and AS measures in participating ICUs. The study participants were Infectious Diseases–International Research Initiative (IDI-IR) members, committed as per their institutional agreement form. We analyzed responses from 57 ICUs in 24 countri…
ATLAS data quality operations and performance for 2015-2018 data-taking
2020
The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider reads out particle collision data from over 100 million electronic channels at a rate of approximately 100 kHz, with a recording rate for physics events of approximately 1 kHz. Before being certified for physics analysis at computer centres worldwide, the data must be scrutinised to ensure they are clean from any hardware or software related issues that may compromise their integrity. Prompt identification of these issues permits fast action to investigate, correct and potentially prevent future such problems that could render the data unusable. This is achieved through the monitoring of detector-level quantities and reconstructed collision ev…
Particle identification in ALICE: a Bayesian approach
2016
We present a Bayesian approach to particle identification (PID) within the ALICE experiment. The aim is to more effectively combine the particle identification capabilities of its various detectors. After a brief explanation of the adopted methodology and formalism, the performance of the Bayesian PID approach for charged pions, kaons and protons in the central barrel of ALICE is studied. PID is performed via measurements of specific energy loss ($\mathrm{d}E/\mathrm{d}x$) and time-of-flight. PID efficiencies and misidentification probabilities are extracted and compared with Monte Carlo simulations using high-purity samples of identified particles in the decay channels ${\rm K}^0_S \righta…
Electronic identity verification: personal data protection challenges and risks
2020
This work highlights the clash of GDPR, eIDAS Regulation and PSD2 Directive, as well as tackles challenges of implementation in practice, specifically the challenges of securing personal data whilst ensuring an electronic identity. A comparative analysis on practical case studies which are concerned with electronic identity verification, electronic identity establishment and use electronic identity verification in the process of providing services is carried out in order to understand how such businesses tackle personal data challenges, how successfully and to what manner. The work concludes with findings of legal uncertainty between all three regulatory acts, as they lack unified definitio…
