[Management of patients with lymphatic diseases and lipoedema during the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations of the Spanish Group of Lymphology].
2020
Resumen La pandemia de COVID-19 es un desafío para el manejo de las patologías no COVID como la enfermedad linfática y el lipedema. La Telemedicina puede evitar la propagación del coronavirus. Se necesita un sistema que nos ayude a determinar la prioridad clínica y la selección de la asistencia presencial o telemática para cada paciente y la forma de realizarlas durante la pandemia. El Grupo Español de Linfología (GEL) ha realizado un documento de consenso con recomendaciones basadas en la bibliografía y experiencia clínica, como guía de práctica clínica en el manejo de anomalías linfáticas y lipedema durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Estas recomendaciones deben adaptarse a las característic…
The Studio: Reflections and Issues Arising
1999
An advanced Telematic Studio was built at the University of Jyvaskyla to combine the latest technologies for local and distributed work and/or meetings. The objectives were to combine leading edge technologies with ethnographic design principles derived from CSCW and HCI to support a broad range of activities. We informed the design by studies of similar facilities on other sites. The Studio is popular, and it is easy to give glowing accounts of its use. Nevertheless, over three years a significant number of problems have arisen with both technologies and uses. Some of these are local. Others may be generalisable to any ‘cooperative building’. For example: problems with videoconferencing; i…
<title>Real-time face tracking and recognition for video conferencing</title>
2001
This paper describes a system of vision in real time, allowing to detect automatically the faces presence, to localize and to follow them in video sequences. We verify also the faces identities. These processes are based by combining technique of image processing and methods of neural networks. The tracking is realized with a strategy of prediction-verification using the dynamic information of the detection. The system has been evaluated quantitatively on 8 video sequences. The robustness of the method has been tested on various lightings images. We present also the analysis of complexity of this algorithm in order to realize an implementation in real time on a FPGA based architecture.
Organizational information and communication technologies and their influence on communication visibility and perceived proximity
2021
This study investigates the relationships between the use of various organizational ICTs, communication visibility, and perceived proximity to distant colleagues. In addition, this study examines the interplay between visibility and proximity, to determine whether visibility improves proximity, or vice versa. These relationships are tested in a global company using two waves of panel survey data. ESM use increases communication visibility and perceived proximity, while controlling for prior levels of visibility, proximity, and the use of other organizational ICTs. The influence of ESM on network translucence and perceived proximity is generally stronger than the impact of other technologie…
Autonomic Brokerage Service for an End-to-End Cloud Networking Service Level Agreement
2014
8 pages; International audience; Today, cloud networking which is the ability to connect the user with his cloud services and to interconnect these services within an inter-cloud approach, is one of the recent research areas in the cloud computing research communities. The main drawback of cloud networking consists in the lack of Quality of Service (QoS) assurance and management in conformance with a corresponding Service Level Agreement (SLA). In this paper, we propose a framework for self-establishing an end-to-end service level agreement between a Cloud Service User (CSU) and multiple Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) in a cloud networking environment using brokerage service. We focus on Qo…
Mediated learning materials: visibility checks in telepresence robot mediated classroom interaction
2021
Videoconferencing is increasingly used in education as a way to support distance learning. This article contributes to the emerging interactional literature on video-mediated educational interaction by exploring how a telepresence robot is used to facilitate remote participation in university-level foreign language teaching. A telepresence robot differs from commonly used videoconferencing set-ups in that it allows mobility and remote camera control. A remote student can thus move a classroom-based robot from a distance in order to shift attention between people, objects and environmental structures during classroom activities. Using multimodal conversation analysis, we focus on how partici…
The master’s dissertation viva by video conference: strategies and best practices
2019
Durante la última década, se han publicado numerosos estudios sobre el proceso de elaboración y evaluación de los trabajos de fin de máster (TFM) (Da Cunha, 2016; García & Martínez-Clares, 2012; González-Calero & Turégano, 2011), sobre las fases de tutorización y acompañamiento al estudiante (Flores, Martínez, Martínez López, Pascual, & Sanz, 2013) y sobre las competencias a adquirir tras su finalización (Cabrera, Sangrà & Rodera, 2012; Serrano & Pontes, 2015; Viejo & Ortega Ruiz, 2018). Sin embargo, no resultan tan evidentes las investigaciones que analizan la fase de preparación y defensa pública de estos trabajos, siendo, sin embargo, la que genera más incomodidad entre el estudiantado. …
E-learning in radiology: an Italian multicentre experience.
2012
Objective: The aim of this study was to design, deliver and evaluate an e-learning teaching programme for post-graduate radiodiagnostics training that would involve various post-graduate schools throughout Italy. Materials and methods: All of the Directors of Italian post-graduate schools of radiodiagnostics were sent an e-mail on 27 September 2010 informing them of our willingness to set up an e-learning project for the academic year 2010-2011 in the form of single-subject teaching seminars. The proposed subjects were the semeiotics of the various organs and apparatuses in the context of "Urgent/Emergency Pathology". After having received registrations, a calendar of lessons was planned to…
Utilización de una herramienta online para la realización de tutorías remotas: una experiencia práctica
2010
La plataforma Elluminate Live! es un producto comercial diseñado específicamente para la impartición de clases virtuales y la video conferencia entre múltiples usuarios. En este artículo, analizamos su uso en el contexto de la realización de tutorías remotas en la asignatura “Informática”, de primer curso de la titulación de Licenciatura en Matemáticas en la Universidad de Valencia. Además de constituir una alternativa viable como complemento a las tutorías presenciales, el uso de la herramienta proporciona una serie de ventajas con respecto a éstas. Entre ellas destaca la posibilidad de supervisar el trabajo de varios alumnos de forma simultánea, de realizar explicaciones a grupos y de fac…
Optimization on ports activation towards energy efficient data center networks
2018
Nowadays, Internet of thing including network support (i.e. checking social media, sending emails, video conferencing) requires smart and efficient data centers to support these services. Hence, data centers become more important and must be able to respond to ever changing service requirements and application demands. However, data centers are classified as one of the largest consumers of energy in the world. Existing topologies such as ScalNet improves the data center scalability while leading to enormous amounts of energy consumption. In this paper, we present a new energy efficient algorithm for ScalNet called Green ScalNet. The proposed topology strikes a compromise between maximizing …
