Enhanced query processing for NoSQL crowdsourcing systems
2014
In this paper, we provide a novel approach for effectively and efficiently support query processing tasks in novel NoSQL crowdsourcing systems. The idea of our method is to exploit the social knowledge available from reviews about products of any kind, freely provided by customers through specialized web sites. We thus define a NoSQL database system for large collections of product reviews, where queries can be expressed in terms of natural language sentences whose answers are modeled as lists of products ranked based on the relevance of reviews w.r.t. the natural language sentences. The best ranked products in the result list can be seen as the best hints for the user based on crowd opinio…
Patient Safety Through the Analysis of «Grey’s Anatomy»; Season 6, Episode 6. I Saw What I Saw
2016
Patient safety constitutes a public health problem due to the repercussions that has in the care process and in the patients. The viewing of Grey’s Anatomy Episode “I saw what I saw” allows to value the importance of searching for the causes of an error and, at the same time, allows to detect commonplace situations (stress, organization, personal and ambient factors) that increase the possibility of errors in class. The process enables students to realize the importance not only of personal aspects, but of multiple possible causes of errors and the importance of health planning.
La Balia (1999). Una visión de las nodrizas en los albores del Siglo XX
2012
[ES] La película La Balia (1999) nos permite reflexionar sobre la importancia histórica de la figura de las nodrizas en el período entre los siglos XIX y XX. Una figura normalizada en la época y que permitió por una parte a las mujeres donantes tener un papel fundamental en el mantenimiento de sus familias, y por la otra permitió la superviviencia de niños gracias a la alimentación con leche materna. [EN] The film La Balia/ The Nanny (1999) allows us to reflect on the historical significance of the figure of the wet nurses in the period between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A standardized set the time and allowed for some women donors have a key role in the maintenance of their fa…
Infección controlada. Maneras de representar el estado de excepción en el cine de pandemias
2018
En el presente escrito se muestra cómo el cine de las décadas posmodernistas ha plasmado un estado político singular, el de excepción, vinculado en estas películas a la propagación de una pandemia. Como arte popular, el cine ha sido una herramienta potentísima para crear imaginarios en la sociedad del capitalismo avanzado y para influir en lo que los ciudadanos estimen probable de una situación dada. El motivo de la declaración de emergencia, control militar y estado de excepción se ha convertido durante esas décadas en uno de los más utilizados, especialmente en los blockbusters de género fantástico. In this paper it’s argued how the movies from the postmodernist decades have shown a singu…
A genetic algorithm for scratch removal in static images
2002
This paper investigates the removal of line scratches from old moving pictures and gives a twofold contribution. First, it presents a simple technique for detecting the scratches, based on an analysis of the statistics of the grey levels. Second, the scratch removal is approached as an optimisation problem, which is solved by using a genetic algorithm. The method can be classified as a static approach, as it works independently on each single frame of the sequence. It does not require any a-priori knowledge of the absolute position of the scratch, nor an external starting population of chromosomes for the genetic algorithm. The central column of the line scratch once detected is changed wit…
Matka Boska z Koźla – ikona czy obraz?
2021
Dekalog zakazuje kultu obrazów. Jednak chrześcijanie zinterpretowali Wcielenie Boga w Jezusie Chrystusie jako zniesienie zakazu tworzenia obrazów. Cztery sobory powszechne wypowiedziały się na temat obrazów w Kościele. Pojęcie obrazu i ikony w pierwszym tysiącleciu chrześcijaństwa było takie samo. Chrześcijanie prawosławni zawęzili znaczenie ikony tylko do obrazu tworzonego na desce za pomocą określonej techniki i estetyki. Matka Boska z Koźla jest jednocześnie obrazem (w znaczeniu szerokim, zachodnim, katolickim), jak i ikoną (w znaczeniu wąskim, wschodnim, prawosławnym). Ikony posługują się językiem symboli i ich celem jest przypominanie o obecności świętej osoby, przedstawionej w obrazie…
The visual principle and the correlation between teaching of the Catholic religion and art education in Polish school
2017
Contemporary culture – as already noted – is becoming more and more visual. Contemporary catechesis, referring to its rich, centuries-long experience, should also use different types of images. The first part of this article presents the visual principle as one of basic educating principles, and the second part presents the correlation between the teaching of Catholic religion, and art education in Polish schools. One specific example of using religious painting are in textbooks. Masterpieces of painting, created during centuries and expressing particular desires of their creators, still remain an important inspiration, among others, to the religious search. Faith, though strongly anchored …
Percepciones y creencias al uso de película comercial tipo epidemia/pandemia en el aula: Insumos para orientar el aprendizaje
2020
Objetivo: Valorar el uso de la película comercial ('Contagion') como estrategia para la enseñanza del método epidemiológico aplicado al campo de epidemias/pandemias. Materiales y métodos: se trata de un proyecto de aula que involucró diversas tecnologías emergentes y de comunicación para disponer de herramientas atractivas y pedagógicas que favorezcan aprendizaje significativo para abordaje de temáticas complejas. La actuación pedagógica involucró diversos insumos: Inicialmente se presenta la caracterización de un cuestionario 'ah doc.' que valoró creencias y percepciones ante una epidemia/pandemia y como visibilizaban entes de salud local e internacional, los científicos, la comunidad y el…
Microcinematographic Studies of Mycoplasma hominis Cells
1973
Cells of two strains of Mycoplasma hominis growing in liquid medium on a glass surface were observed continuously, and cinematographic pictures were taken. Most of the observed structures showed reversible changes of their shape, suggesting the presence of contractile material in membrane or cytoplasma. The frequency and speed of such variations were measured. The deformations seem to be related to multiplication. The mechanisms of these phenomena are unknown.
Dynamics of Confined Crowd Modelled Using Fermionic Operators
2014
An operatorial method based on fermionic operators is used to describe the dynamics of a crowd made of different kind of populations mutually interacting and moving in a two–dimensional bounded closed region. The densities of the populations are recovered through the Heisenberg equation and the diffusion process is driven by the Hamiltonian operator defined by requiring that the populations move along optimal paths. We apply the model obtained in a concrete situation and we discuss the effect of the interaction between the populations during their motion.
