Shift-Invariant Canonical Polyadic Decomposition of Complex-Valued Multi-Subject fMRI Data with a Phase Sparsity Constraint
2020
Canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) of multi-subject complex-valued fMRI data can be used to provide spatially and temporally shared components among groups with both magnitude and phase information. However, the CPD model is not well formulated due to the large subject variability in the spatial and temporal modalities, as well as the high noise level in complex-valued fMRI data. Considering that the shift-invariant CPD can model temporal variability across subjects, we propose to further impose a phase sparsity constraint on the shared spatial maps to denoise the complex-valued components and to model the inter-subject spatial variability as well. More precisely, subject-specific time …
Staying at the front line of literature: How can topic modelling help researchers follow recent studies?
2021
Staying at the front line in learning research is challenging because many fields are rapidly developing. One such field is research on the temporal aspects of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). To obtain an overview of these fields, systematic literature reviews can capture patterns of existing research. However, conducting systematic literature reviews is time-consuming and do not reveal future developments in the field. This study proposes a machine learning method based on topic modelling that takes articles from a systematic literature review on the temporal aspects of CSCL (49 original articles published before 2019) as a starting point to describe the most recent devel…
The Sense of Belonging to the Country: Integrative Relationships and Spatiotemporal Commitment
2020
The satisfaction of the need to belong reflects in the sense of being an integrative part of the group or social system. There is some lack of empirical evidence for the structure of this sense at the macro level. This study assessed a two-dimensional model of the sense of belonging to the country, which included relational and spatiotemporal components. Participants were 539 university students from 18 to 50 (74% females). Questions regarding involvement, perceived acceptance, sense of commonality, and feeling at home represented the relational component of the sense of belonging. Four temporal categories—the recent past, present, and the near and distant future—were included in the assess…
Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation on Brain Networks Related to Creative Thinking
2020
AbstractHuman creative thinking is unique and capable of generating novel and valuable ideas. Recent research has clarified the contribution of different brain networks (default mode network, DN; executive control network; salience network) to creative thinking. However, the effects of brain stimulation on brain networks during creative thinking and on creative performance have not been clarified. The present study was designed to examine the changes in functional connectivity (FC) and effective connectivity (EC) of the large-scale brain network, and the ensuing changes in creative performance, induced by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Fourteen healthy male students underwe…
Socio-emotional Experience in Human Technology Interaction Design – A Fashion Framework Proposal
2021
Technology designers and developers can be understood as social experience (SE) mediators. In user experience (UX), notions of SE have served to identify and define the factors contributing to human-technology interaction (HTI). Three dominant perspectives have been promoted in UX discourse: 1) SE of brand, brand value and consumer culture; 2) technology design as mediator of human-to-human interactions; and 3) meaning generation through action and interaction between actors. Symbolic interactionalism understands meaning as occurring through dialogue, in the construction of the social self, promoting self-reflection as a social construction. This theorisation of social experience is valuabl…
Monitoring water and carbon fluxes at fine spatial scales using HyspIRI-like measurements
2012
Remotely sensed observations in the visible to the shortwave infrared (VSWIR) and thermal infrared (TIR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum can be used synergistically to provide valuable products of land surface properties for reliable assessments of carbon and water fluxes. The high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution VSWIR and TIR observations provided by the proposed Hyperspectral - InfraRed (HyspIRI) mission will enable a new era of global agricultural monitoring, critical for addressing growing issues of food insecurity. To enable predictions at fine spatial resolution (<100m), modeling efforts must rely on a combination of high-frequency temporal and highresolution spa…

Thalamic stroke mimicking frontotemporal dementia: a case report
2012
Background: The behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is characterized by changes of personality, social behavior and cognition and relies on a neurodegenerative process. However, vascular lesions affecting subcortical structures may result in a clinical syndrome resembling bvFTD. Objective: To describe a case of thalamic stroke resulting in frontal dementia. Case report: A 58-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of behavioral and cognitive changes formerly diagnosed as bvFTD. In 2010, he suddenly presented loss of consciousness and in the next days he developed amnesia, apathy and personality changes. Toxicological exams, CSF analysis and CT scan were normal at…
Temporal Denoising of Kinect Depth Data
2012
The release of the Microsoft Kinect has attracted the attention of researchers in a variety of computer science domains. Even though this device is still relatively new, its recent applications have shown some promising results in terms of replacing current conventional methods like the stereo-camera for robotics navigation, multi-camera system for motion detection and laser scanner for 3D reconstruction. While most work around the Kinect is on how to take full advantage of its capabilities, so far only a few studies have been carried out on the limitations of this device and fewer that provide solutions to enhance the precision of its measurements. In this paper, we review and analyse curr…
El impacto de la crisis económica en la Seguridad Social: panorama general de las últimas reformas
2016
El documento es un estudio de las reformas del quinquenio 2011-2015 en las prestaciones medulares del sistema de Seguridad Social español. El trabajo se inicia con una introducción, que aborda diversos aspectos formales de la legislación de Seguridad Social de este período, en particular desde el punto de vista de las reglas de transitoriedad y los problemas de Derecho temporal de las reformas. A continuación, se trazan algunas cuestiones generales sobre las prestaciones del sistema, con especial incidencia en algunos pronunciamientos jurisprudenciales particularmente novedosos. El grueso del trabajo aborda los principales cambios legislativos o jurisprudenciales en materia de prestaciones …
