Scientific networks and research groups development: educational Psychology case in Spain during the five-year periods 2004-2008 and 2009-2013
2017
El objetivo de este estudio ha sido identificar y conocer los cambios experimentados en los grupos de la comunidad científica de auto- res que trabajan en instituciones españolas y que publican artículos en las revistas científicas incluidas en la categoría "Psychology Educational" en la Web of Science durante el período 2004 hasta el 2013 y su pertenencia y perma- nencia en los diferentes grupos de investigación. Se realizó un estudio com- parativo de los grupos y su composición a lo largo de los quinquenios 2004- 2008 y 2009-2013. Los resultados indicaron que existe un incremento en el número de investigadores y de los grupos de investigación en el ámbito de la psicología educativa, que v…
Hidden connections: Network effects on editorial decisions in four computer science journals
2018
Abstract This paper aims to examine the influence of authors’ reputation on editorial bias in scholarly journals. By looking at eight years of editorial decisions in four computer science journals, including 7179 observations on 2913 submissions, we reconstructed author/referee-submission networks. For each submission, we looked at reviewer scores and estimated the reputation of submission authors by means of their network degree. By training a Bayesian network, we estimated the potential effect of scientist reputation on editorial decisions. Results showed that more reputed authors were less likely to be rejected by editors when they submitted papers receiving negative reviews. Although th…
Atlas of Variations in Medical Practice in Spain: The Spanish National Health Service under scrutiny
2012
Early in the 2000s, a countrywide health services research initiative was launched under the acronym of Atlas VPM: Atlas of Variations in Medical Practice in the Spanish National Health System. This initiative aimed at describing systematic and unwarranted variations in medical practice at geographic level-building upon the seminal experience of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care. The paper aims at explaining the Spanish Atlas experience, built upon the pioneer Dartmouth inspiration. A few selected examples will be used along the following sections to illustrate the outlined conceptual framework, the different factors that may affect variation, and some methodological challenges.
Map of the visibility and search engine positioning of the main Spanish media groups
2020
Este trabajo analiza la visibilidad y posicionamiento en buscadores de los sitios web de los principales grupos de comunicación españoles. Se compara su visibilidad web y su presencia en los resultados de búsqueda de Google a través de programas de análisis SEO y una metodología propia que se ha denominado Índice de Visibilidad Agregada. Se ha realizado un análisis comparativo de los grupos Atresmedia, COPE, Godó, Hearst Magazines, Henneo, Imagina Media Audiovisual, Intereconomía Corporación, Joly, Mediaset España Comunicación, Planeta, Prensa Ibérica, Prisa, Unidad Editorial, Vocento y Zeta. Se ha podido establecer que Unidad Editorial es el grupo con mayor tráfico web proveniente de búsqu…
A neural multi-agent based system for smart html pages retrieval
2003
A neural based multi-agent system for smart HTML page retrieval is presented. The system is based on the EalphaNet architecture, a neural network capable of learning the activation function of its hidden units and having good generalization capabilities. System goal is to retrieve documents satisfying a query and dealing with a specific topic. The system has been developed using the basic features supplied by the Jade platform for agent creation, coordination and control. The system is composed of four agents: the trainer agent, the neural classifier mobile agent, the interface agent, and the librarian agent. The sub-symbolic knowledge of the neural classifier mobile agent is automatically …
El aprendizaje basado en proyectos en el aula de música: una revisión sistemática
2021
El Aprendizaje Basado en Proyectos (ABP) es una de las metodologías de mayor expansión en las aulas actualmente. A pesar de no existir una definición unificada sobre el término, existe un consenso en torno a dos ideas: que el proyecto constituye el eje del currículo y que el alumno desarrolla una investigación. En música, la adopción de la etiqueta ABP es reciente, aunque los trabajos que relacionan música y proyectos son numerosos. La presente revisión identifica cuatro características comunes a los principales trabajos publicados: generación de una investigación, desarrollo de la práctica artística, planteamiento multidisciplinar y muestra pública del proyecto.
Effects of Exercise on the Airways
2012
In the last ten years, the effects of exercise on bronchial epithelial cells and inflammatory cells in the airways have been studied in detail, and such new information has been combined with previous knowledge on bronchial reactivity and asthma evoked by exercise in asthmatic patients and athletes. The resulting picture is very complex, and the potential clinical consequences are often contradictory, suggesting the opportunity to define different phenotypes of exercise-associated airway changes (Lee & Anderson, 1985; Haahtela et al., 2008; Moreira et al., 2011a). Studies in asthmatic athletes in the 90’ had began to explore the possibility that airway inflammation might be involved in exer…
Food selectivity in autism spectrum disorders: a systematic review.
2013
Autism spectrum disorders are characterized by difficulties with reciprocal social interactions and restricted patterns of behavior and interest; one of these characteristic behaviors is food selectivity. The objective of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature published between 1970 and 2013 concerning this eating behavior. The articles identified were analyzed in terms of sample size, study design, and criteria for assessment and intervention, as well as the results, level of evidence and grade of recommendation. The main search was conducted in Medline, Cochrane Library, Scielo, ScienceDirect, and Embase). There is empirical evidence and an overall scientific con…
Library instruction – Not just for our users: Skills upgrading for librarians as a way of increasing self-confidence
2015
Published version of an article from the journal: LIBER Quarterly: Available from the publisher: http://liber.library.uu.nl/index.php/lq/article/view/10002/10598. Open Access This article examines how librarians can improve their skills through a systematic skills upgrading programme, and how this can help improve their confidence in their own expertise. Two identical questionnaires have been issued to the same group of librarians engaged in research support services. In the time period between the two surveys, a skills upgrading programme was carried out. The aim of the second survey is to examine if the librarians’ confidence has increased after the yearlong training programme. Even thoug…
The BioDICE Taverna plugin for clustering and visualization of biological data: a workflow for molecular compounds exploration
2014
Background: In many experimental pipelines, clustering of multidimensional biological datasets is used to detect hidden structures in unlabelled input data. Taverna is a popular workflow management system that is used to design and execute scientific workflows and aid in silico experimentation. The availability of fast unsupervised methods for clustering and visualization in the Taverna platform is important to support a data-driven scientific discovery in complex and explorative bioinformatics applications. Results: This work presents a Taverna plugin, the Biological Data Interactive Clustering Explorer (BioDICE), that performs clustering of high-dimensional biological data and provides a …
