Classification of spatio-temporal point pattern in the presence of clutter using K-th nearest neighbour distances
2019
In a point process spatio-temporal framework, we consider the problem of features detection in the presence of clutters. We extend the methodology of Byers and Raftery (1998) to the spatio-temporal context by considering the properties of the K-th nearest-neighbour distances. We make use of the spatio-temporal distance based on the Euclidean norm where the temporal term is properly weighted. We show the form of the probability distributions of such K-th nearest-neighbour distance. A mixture distribution, whose parameters are estimated with an EM algorithm, is used to classify points into clutters or features. We assess the performance of the proposed approach with a simulation study, togeth…
Communicative Strategies from Cyberfemism: @Feminismosmad and the Twitter Diffusion of the 8m Strike in Madrid
2020
Resumen Tanto desde el ámbito académico como desde el movimiento feminista se discute el alcance y la relevancia de las nuevas herramientas digitales para la subversión de la agenda, el cambio en los sistemas políticos occidentales y, en suma, el fin de las desigualdades entre géneros (Zafra, 2011; Núñez Puente, 2011). Mediante un análisis cuantitativo y entrevistas semiestructuradas, estudiamos el uso de Twitter por parte de @FeminismosMad. Este perfil se enfocó en explicar la Huelga feminista, así como en motivar la participación de la ciudadanía en las diferentes actividades organizadas durante el proceso del 8M. Abstract The scope and relevance of new digital tools for subverting the do…
Performance-Based Engineering of Wind-Excited Structures: A General Methodology
2016
The current prescriptive design philosophy that relies simply on meeting requirements stipulated in standards is shifting towards a performance-based design (PBD) approach for achieving designs that rationally meet society’s need for a truly safe built environment. Extensive research has facilitated the successful adoption of PBD in earthquake engineering, but the same cannot be said for wind engineering. Therefore, the need exists to initiate a similar effort by defining a framework that fully embraces the concepts of PBD during the design of building systems to resist severe wind events. This paper illustrates the development of such a PBD framework. In particular, a method is proposed sp…
Design of RC joints equipped with hybrid trussed beams and friction dampers
2021
Abstract The challenge of this research consists in the first attempt to apply a dissipative friction connection to beam-to-column joints with semi-prefabricated Hybrid Steel-Trussed Concrete Beams (HSTCB) and RC pillars cast in-situ. Nowadays, HSTCBs are widely adopted in civil and industrial buildings and, therefore, it is required to evaluate their compliance with the capacity design criteria and their seismic energy dissipation capability. However, the design of the reinforcement of such beams usually lead to the adoption of large amount of steel within the panel zone which becomes potentially vulnerable to the effects of seismic cyclic actions and dramatically reduce the dissipation ca…
Den sakrale og den profane fotballen – om forskjeller i medias dekning av kvinne- og herrefotball på Sørlandet
2021
I denne artikkelen diskuterer vi kjønnede framstillinger i medias dekning av fotball på Sørlandet ved å analysere de to største avisene Fædrelandsvennen og Agderposten sin dekning av fotballagene Amazon Grimstad (kvinnelag) og FK Jerv (herrelag). Det viser seg at dekningen er asymmetrisk på flere områder. Jerv blir framstilt som et lag med gode spillere, vakkert spill, gode resultater og som et sterkt kollektiv av individuelle spillere, mens dekningen av Amazon er blottet for slike karakteristika. I dekningen av kvinnefotballaget er oppmerksomheten rettet mot økonomiske problemer, sponsorbråk og dårlige resultater. Ved å bruke kultur- og kjønnsteoretiske tilnærminger ser vi hvordan medias d…

Sobre la necesidad de estudiar la masculinidad(es) en tiempos de incertidumbre / On the Need to Study Masculinity(s) in Times of Uncertainty
2019
La masculinidad como concepto analítico parece estar de moda. Proliferan reflexiones en los medios, se publican libros, se organizan actividades e incluso jornadas y congresos, etc. Todo ello parece consecuencia y al mismo tiempo funcionan como elementos intensificadores del interés despertado entre diferentes ámbitos de lo social (y lo mediático) por conocer qué pasa con los hombres en estos momentos de incertidumbre social generalizada. Además, estos tiempos actuales cabe concebirlos, y más si hablamos de la identidad masculina como identidad de género, desde la eclosión y visibilización de las reivindicaciones feministas de la ya denominada «cuarta ola» que se están dando a escala global…
