On achieving near-optimal “Anti-Bayesian” Order Statistics-Based classification fora asymmetric exponential distributions

2013

Published version of a Chapter in the book: Computer Analysis of Images and Patterns. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-40261-6_44 This paper considers the use of Order Statistics (OS) in the theory of Pattern Recognition (PR). The pioneering work on using OS for classification was presented in [1] for the Uniform distribution, where it was shown that optimal PR can be achieved in a counter-intuitive manner, diametrically opposed to the Bayesian paradigm, i.e., by comparing the testing sample to a few samples distant from the mean - which is distinct from the optimal Bayesian paradigm. In [2], we showed that the results could be extended for a few sym…

Rol de la Economía Social y la Universidad en orden a un emprendimiento basado en el conocimiento tecnológico y los valores

2020

[EN] Objectives The present work aims to study the need for a more knowledge-intensive economy, especially technologically based, that allows to face the challenge of the so-called 4th technological revolution, contributing to the development of a more competitive society as well as with values. Thus, this work aims to do a revision of the reality of the spanish university and its role facing the technological challenge. In addition, it aims to make an analysis of the presence and weight of the social economy in the sectors most identified with the so-called fourth industrial revolution, to establish if there are economic and financial differences that explain the higher presence of the inv…

Conocimiento pedagógico del contenido para la enseñanza del tema mitosis: un estudio de casos con docentes universitarios de Argentina

2015

The pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) for teaching mitosis at university isan unexplored field. We report the characterization of university teachers’ PCK on mitosisemploying the Content Representation questionnaire (CoRe) and Professional and Pedagogicalexperience Repertoire (PaP-eR). The differences found in the teachers’ CDC are consistent withthe characteristics of this construct: it is specific to a topic, a teacher and a context. The PCKdevelopment of university teachers in the context of teaching centered on the transmissionof knowledge emerges as a possible strategy to reorient the teaching of mitosis to approachesbased on the construction of scaffoldings that facilitate student l…

At the centre of The Bologna process: do European Universities train their students to face knowledge-based societies?

2006

L’économie actuelle fondée sur la connaissance impose de nouve aux défis à l’enseignement supérieur. Le principal objectif de cet article est d’évaluer dans quelle mesure les universités sont prêtes à faire face à cesdéfis. Cette question peut être abordée en prenant en compte une des principales fonctions de l’université, qui est de former la main-d’œuvrehautement qualifiée. Les principales questions suivante seront traitées : est-ceque les universités européennes développent les compétences requises parl’économie fondée sur la connaissance ? Quelles sont les compétences valorisées sur le marché du travail ? Au-delà de la valeur monétaire des compétences, quelle sont les plus demandées ? Q…

Las prioridades de la investigación en los campus europeos

2011

[ES] Frente a la globalización, la internacionalización de la universidad es una parte esencial de la solución como factor para su desarrollo sostenible a través de estrategias de innovación abierta y por tanto una prioridad en los campus europeos bien contemplada en la reciente Ley de la Ciencia y los Campus de Excelencia Internacional como parte de la Estrategia Universidad 2015. El acceso a la financiación pública competitiva disponible en los fondos europeos es importante en términos de prioridades de investigación, precisamente en un contexto restrictivo de financiación nacional y autonómica. La atracción internacional de talento y posicionarnos en las grandes áreas de investigación pe…

Standardized testing and the promise of progress

2017

Abstract In light of the constantly expanding use of standardized tests (STs) not only in industrialized countries but also in developing nations, this article seeks to offer some reflections on the assessment path that educational systems across the world are taking. In unpacking the STs we must not take for granted a number of aspects of standardized tests—from their construction and application to their unintended consequences.  The article proceeds in four distinct but interrelated parts:  (1) understanding the assumptions and process in the development of STs, (2) probing the assumptions underlying the use of STs, (3) recognizing that STs are limited in what they can tell teachers abou…

Regions, networks and innovative performance: The case of knowledge-intensive industries in Norway

2010

Many recent studies maintain that regional characteristics influence the innovative performances, innovation processes and innovation patterns of firms. Based on a representative sample of knowledge-intensive firms in Norway, this paper analyses the innovation output, innovation partners, knowledge sources, and localization of sources and partners for knowledge-intensive firms in three types of region: large urban regions, small urban regions and rural areas.The empirical results contradict some of the assumptions of the literature dealing with agglomeration economies, regional clusters, and so on. We find, for example, that the firms’ innovation partners and knowledge sources are quite sim…

Predictors of Sexual Satisfaction in Women: A Systematic Review.

2021

Abstract Introduction The increasing research interest in sexual satisfaction corresponds to a large amount of studies which focus on different singular determinants without establishing a common model for its explanation. Objectives The purpose of this review is to systematically identify and evaluate the structure and results of the current research about sexual satisfaction in heterosexual women in a long-term relationship. Methods A systematic literature search using Web of Knowledge, ProQuest and PSYNDEX was conducted from January 2004 to October 2019. In total, 1,649 studies published in the last 15 years were extracted from the databases with a systematic keyword search. Through a mu…

WhoSNext: Recommending Twitter Users to Follow Using a Spreading Activation Network Based Approach

2020

The huge number of modern social network users has made the web a fertile ground for the growth and development of a plethora of recommender systems. To date, recommending a new user profile X to a given user U that could be interested in creating a relationship with X has been tackled using techniques based on content analysis, existing friendship relationships and other pieces of information coming from different social networks or websites. In this paper we propose a recommending architecture - called WhoSNext (WSN) - tested on Twitter and which aim is promoting the creation of new relationships among users. As recent researches show, this is an interesting recommendation problem: for a …
