Propuesta de política pública para acelerar la transición hacia el automóvil eléctrico en el contexto español

2018

Este trabajo pretende determinar el tipo de intervención pública deseable en España para acelerar la transición hacia una adopción mayoritaria del coche eléctrico. Para ello primero se tratará de explicar los efectos positivos de esta transición, la situación actual del mercado del coche eléctrico en España, las barreras que frenan una mayor penetración en el mercado y las iniciativas políticas en otros países en este tema. Y posteriormente haremos un repaso de los planes de estímulo a la adquisición de vehículos eléctricos en nuestro país estos tres últimos años. Observamos que en España la ciudadanía responde positivamente a unas políticas de incentivo al coche eléctrico que se han mostra…

Investigación en el aula: evaluación de la metodología de aprendizaje basado en problemas en la asignatura de Corrosión

2020

[ES] La metodología de Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP) se introdujo por primera vez en un curso de Corrosión del Master de Ingeniería Química de la Universitat Politècnica de València, durante el curso 2018-2019. Se diseñaron y presentaron diferentes problemas relacionados con todos estos conceptos como metodología de aprendizaje basado en problemas. Para evaluar el empleo de este tipo de metodología activa se plantea la elaboración de una encuesta a los estudiantes de manera anónima e individual y la realización de una matriz de escenarios presentes y futuros para la asignatura de forma grupal. Es importante señalar que a pesar de que para muchos de los estudiantes (67%) esta era la …

Adaptive and Generative Learning: Implications from Complexity Theories

2008

One of the most important classical typologies within the organizational learning literature is the distinction between adaptive and generative learning. However, the processes of these types of learning, particularly the latter, have not been widely analyzed and incorporated into the organizational learning process. This paper puts forward a new understanding of adaptive and generative learning within organizations, grounded in some ideas from complexity theories: mainly self-organization and implicate order. Adaptive learning involves any improvement or development of the explicate order through a process of self-organization. Self-organization is a self-referential process characterized …

Instrument transfer as knowledge transfer in neurophysiology: François Magendie's (1783-1855) early attempts to measure cerebrospinal fluid pressure.

2007

Francois Magendie's (1783-1855) experimental model for measuring blood pressure in animals, which he developed in 1838, had a major impact on French physiology in the nineteenth century, especially upon Etienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904) in Paris. In due course it was also adopted by other European investigators, such as the Leipzig physiologist Carl Ludwig (1816-1895), and by clinicians who developed it into a major measuring tool. Historians of science, however, have paid hardly any attention to Magendie's further laboratory investigations conducted with the assistance of Jean-Louis Marie Poiseuille's (1799-1869) sphygmometre (blood pressure meter). After having used the apparatus to conduct…

Multimodal Tasks for Translators: A Translational Dialogue with Cia Rinne and Her Work

A cognitive architecture for inner speech

2020

Abstract A cognitive architecture for inner speech is presented. It is based on the Standard Model of Mind, integrated with modules for self-talking. Briefly, the working memory of the proposed architecture includes the phonological loop as a component which manages the exchanging information between the phonological store and the articulatory control system. The inner dialogue is modeled as a loop where the phonological store hears the inner voice produced by the hidden articulator process. A central executive module drives the whole system, and contributes to the generation of conscious thoughts by retrieving information from long-term memory. The surface form of thoughts thus emerges by …

Cloning and training collective intelligence with generative adversarial networks

2021

Industry 4.0 and highly automated critical infrastructure can be seen as cyber‐physical‐social systems controlled by the Collective Intelligence. Such systems are essential for the functioning of the society and economy. On one hand, they have flexible infrastructure of heterogeneous systems and assets. On the other hand, they are social systems, which include collaborating humans and artificial decision makers. Such (human plus machine) resources must be pre‐trained to perform their mission with high efficiency. Both human and machine learning approaches must be bridged to enable such training. The importance of these systems requires the anticipation of the potential and previously unknow…

Influence of Musical Expertise on the processing of Musical Features in a Naturalistic Setting

2019

Musical training causes structural and functional changes in the brain due to its sensory-motor demands, but the modulatory effect of musical training on music feature processing in the brain in a continuous music listening paradigm, has not been investigated thus far. In this work, we investigate the differences between musicians and non-musicians in the encoding of musical features encompassing musical timbre, rhythm and tone. 18 musicians and 18 non-musicians were scanned using fMRI while listening to 3 varied stimuli. Acoustic features corresponding to timbre, rhythm and tone were computationally extracted from the stimuli and correlated with brain responses, followed by t-tests on grou…

Factors in the global assimilation of collaborative information technologies: an exploratory investigation in five regions

2008

The diffusion of innovation theory is deployed to investigate the global assimilation of collaborative information technologies (CITs). Based on the concepts of IT acquisition and utilization, an assimilation framework is presented to highlight four states (limited, focused, lagging, and pervasive) that capture the assimilation of conferencing and groupware CITs. Data collected from 538 organizations in the United States, Australia, Hong Kong, Norway, and Switzerland are aggregated and analyzed to explore assimilation patterns and the influence of decision-making pattern, functional integration, promotion of collaboration, organization size, and IT function size on the assimilation of CITs.…

Epithelial NEMO links innate immunity to chronic intestinal inflammation

2007

Deregulation of intestinal immune responses seems to have a principal function in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease(1-4). The gut epithelium is critically involved in the maintenance of intestinal immune homeostasis-acting as a physical barrier separating luminal bacteria and immune cells, and also expressing antimicrobial peptides(3,5,6). However, the molecular mechanisms that control this function of gut epithelial cells are poorly understood. Here we show that the transcription factor NF kappa B, a master regulator of pro-inflammatory responses(7,8), functions in gut epithelial cells to control epithelial integrity and the interaction between the mucosal immune system and gu…
