The ANTARES telescope neutrino alert system
2012
The ANTARES telescope has the capability to detect neutrinos produced in astrophysical transient sources. Potential sources include gamma-ray bursts, core collapse supernovae, and flaring active galactic nuclei. To enhance the sensitivity of ANTARES to such sources, a new detection method based on coincident observations of neutrinos and optical signals has been developed. A fast online muon track reconstruction is used to trigger a network of small automatic optical telescopes. Such alerts are generated for special events, such as two or more neutrinos, coincident in time and direction, or single neutrinos of very high energy.
Three-Way Interactions Among Interruptions/Multitasking Demands, Occupational Age, and Alertness: A Diary Study
2015
In this study, we examined the within-person relationships between workday “cognitive” stressors (multitasking demands and workflow interruptions) and strain (situational well-being throughout the day and irritation in the evening). We hypothesized that occupational age, in terms of job tenure and an indicator of functional age (alertness), would moderate these relationships in that employees with low experience and low alertness would suffer most from the stressors. We conducted a 5-day diary study in a sample of 123 nurses, with 4 measurements per day (3 taken during the work shift and 1 taken in the evening), and 1 survey (occupational age) and computer-based cognitive performance test b…
Umbrales de lluvia, daños y niveles de alerta en la Comunidad Valenciana
2016
Ponencia presentada en: X Congreso de la Asociación Española de Climatología celebrado en Alicante entre el 5 y el 8 de octubre de 2016. [ES]En el contexto de los riesgos climáticos, muchas de las alarmas tempranas de precipitaciones extremas se basan en umbrales de lluvia que, a su vez, están relacionados con niveles probables de daños. A pesar de los grandes esfuerzos que se han venido realizando en los últimos años para discriminar bien los umbrales de estas alertas, uno de los principales problemas es la emisión de un número excesivo de avisos, hecho que puede crear alarmismo. El presente trabajo constituye un estudio aplicado que aborda la detección de indicadores de lluvia y la estima…
Twitter Analysis for Real-Time Malware Discovery
2017
In recent years, the increasing number of cyber-attacks has gained the development of innovative tools to quickly detect new threats. A recent approach to this problem is to analyze the content of Social Networks to discover the rising of new malicious software. Twitter is a popular social network which allows millions of users to share their opinions on what happens all over the world. The subscribers can insert messages, called tweet, that are usually related to international news. In this work, we present a system for real-time malware alerting using a set of tweets captured through the Twitter API’s, and analyzed by means of a Bayes naïve classifier. Then, groups of tweets discussing th…
Nuova disciplina della “crisi d’impresa” e obbligo di segnalazione da parte dei “creditori pubblici qualificati” (Agenzie fiscali e INPS): primissime…
2019
L’articolo analizza la disposizione dell’art. 15 del nuovo codice della crisi di impresa e dell’insolvenza (D. Lgs. n. 14/2019) che, per la prima volta, introduce un obbligo di comunicazione nei confronti dei contribuenti (c.d. di alert) a carico di creditori pubblici qualificati (Agenzia delle Entrate, Agente della Riscossione e INPS) relativamente ai debiti tributari. In particolare ci si sofferma: (i) sulla nozione di esposizione debitoria con importo “rilevante” - dalla quale decorre il termine di novanta giorni per l’obbligo di comunicazione - che muta in ragione dell’ente creditore, della tipologia e della misura del debito; (ii) su cosa debba intendersi per “crediti definitivamente a…
Desarrollo y evaluación de un sistema electrónico de alertas clínicas en el paciente oncológico
2017
La asistencia en Oncología es más compleja que en otras especialidades; también el desarrollo e implantación de Sistemas Electrónicos. Ambos aspectos explican la escasa disponibilidad de aplicaciones informáticas para el tratamiento integral del paciente oncológico, el registro de la información generada durante su atención individualizada y los sistemas de seguridad con señales de alerta específicas del paciente. Actualmente los sistemas de seguridad disponibles dan lugar a alertas, en general, demasiado sensibles e inespecíficas que en un alto porcentaje no comprometen la seguridad del paciente, generando desinterés en el clínico. Los tratamientos antineoplásicos ocasionan efectos adverso…
The self-reported causes of sleepiness in shift-working tram and truck drivers
2021
Identifying the causes of sleepiness in various safety-critical work environments is neces-sary for implementing more efficient fatigue management strategies. In transportation, little is known about drivers' own perceptions of these causes. Therefore, we instructed shift-working tram (n = 23) and long-haul truck drivers (n = 52) to report at the end of their shifts what made them sleepy if they felt so. These self-reports, measured on-duty sleepiness, and sleep amounts were recorded on every shift over a period of 2-3 weeks per driver. The causes of sleepiness were queried with smartphone applications and sleep logs. Sleepiness was measured with the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) and sl…
Semantic User Profiling for Digital Advertising
2015
International audience; With the emergence of real-time distribution of online advertising space (“real-time bidding”), user profiling from web navigation traces becomes crucial. Indeed, it allows online advertisers to target customers without interfering with their activities. Current techniques apply traditional methods as statistics and machine learning, but suffer from their limitations. As an answer, the proposed approach aims to develop and evaluate a semantic-based user profiling system for digital advertising.
Evaluating the Public's Reaction to Simulated Alerts on Mobile Phones in France: Scale Effects, and Challenges
2022
International audience; In case of sudden and extreme life-threatening situation, the most efficient system fulfils the requirement of mobile phone emergency alerting information services. But how much information and what type of content must be used in a textual message, and how adapt this alert to a large audience and diversified contexts? This paper proposes to address this challenge, 1) by presenting results obtained in France during simulated "alerting days", with sampling revealing the perception and understanding of SMS and CB by a non-specialized audience (161 respondents), and 2) by comparing findings obtained in different contexts (students and teaching staff in a university, cri…
Global investments in pandemic preparedness and COVID-19: development assistance and domestic spending on health between 1990 and 2026
2023
Background The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted gaps in health surveillance systems, disease prevention, and treatment globally. Among the many factors that might have led to these gaps is the issue of the financing of national health systems, especially in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as a robust global system for pandemic preparedness. We aimed to provide a comparative assessment of global health spending at the onset of the pandemic; characterise the amount of development assistance for pandemic preparedness and response disbursed in the first 2 years of the COVID-19 pandemic; and examine expectations for future health spending and put into context the expected ne…
