Cyberbullying in schools : mobile phone and internet effect in adolescents
2017
El objetivo del estudio está enfocado a conocer la prevalencia de las formas de cyberbullying (teléfono móvil e internet) y cómo estas se ven influenciadas por las variables personales y escolares. La muestra final estuvo formada por un total de 749 alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria, con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 15 años (M = 13.77 años; DT = 1.12). Para la recogida de información se utiliza un cuestionario “ad hoc” (datos socioescolares) y la escala de Victimización entre Adolescentes a través del Teléfono Móvil y de Internet (CYBVIC) (Buelga, Cava & Musitu, 2012). De un primer análisis descriptivo, se obtienen porcentajes similares pero con ligera prevalencia en…
Questions and controversies in the study of time-varying functional connectivity in resting fMRI.
2020
The brain is a complex, multiscale dynamical system composed of many interacting regions. Knowledge of the spatiotemporal organization of these interactions is critical for establishing a solid understanding of the brain’s functional architecture and the relationship between neural dynamics and cognition in health and disease. The possibility of studying these dynamics through careful analysis of neuroimaging data has catalyzed substantial interest in methods that estimate time-resolved fluctuations in functional connectivity (often referred to as “dynamic” or time-varying functional connectivity; TVFC). At the same time, debates have emerged regarding the application of TVFC analyses to re…
BI-järjestelmän vaikutukset laskentainformaatioon ohjauksen ja päätöksenteon tukena
2017
Business intelligence (BI) eli liiketoimintatiedon hallinta on viime vuosina kasvattanut merkittävästi rooliaan päätöksenteon apuvälineenä. Tiedosta ja sen hallinnasta on muodostunut yrityksille kilpailukyvyn perusta. Suuren datamäärän jalostaminen ohjausta ja päätöksentekoa tukevaksi laadukkaaksi informaatioksi aiheuttaa monille yrityksille kuitenkin vielä haasteita. Tämän pro gradu -tutkielman tavoitteena on selvittää, miten BI-järjestelmä on vaikuttanut laskentainformaatioon ohjauksen ja päätöksenteon tukena. Aiempi business intelligenceen liittyvä tutkimus on hyvin teknologiapainotteista jättäen vähälle huomiolle BI-järjestelmän roolin laadukkaan informaation tuottamisessa ohjauksen ja …
One and Two Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks for Seizure Detection Using EEG Signals
2021
Deep learning for the automated detection of epileptic seizures has received much attention during recent years. In this work, one dimensional convolutional neural network (1D-CNN) and two dimensional convolutional neural network (2D-CNN) are simultaneously used on electroencephalogram (EEG) data for seizure detection. Firstly, using sliding windows without overlap on raw EEG to obtain the definite one-dimension time EEG segments (1D-T), and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) for 1D-T signals to obtain the two-dimension time-frequency representations (2D-TF). Then, 1D-CNN and 2D-CNN model architectures are used on 1D-T and 2D-TF signals for automatic classification, respectively. Finally, t…
A Cooperative Multi-Agent System for Crowd Sensing Based Estimation in Smart Cities
2020
The concept of Smart City has spread as a solution to ensure better access to information and services to citizens, but also as a means to reduce the environmental footprint of cities. To this end, a continuous and wide observation of the environment is necessary to analyze information that enables government bodies to act on the environment appropriately. Moreover, a diffused acquisition of information requires adequate infrastructure and proper devices, which results in relevant installation and maintenance costs. Our proposal enables reducing the number of necessary sensors to be deployed while ensuring that information is available at any time and anywhere. We present the HybridIoT syst…
Quantum Creativity and Cognition in Humans and Robots
2022
In this research, we present a categorical framework to connect research on creativity and cognition for humans and robots, in light of the quantum paradigm. These fields and their relationships suggest a wider vision: modeling human creativity/cognition through quantum computing, and creating robots that can help us learn more about the humans themselves. We represent the human–robot comparison through functors (function generalization). Fundamental elements to understand human creativity are motivation and feedback as aesthetic pleasure. Is it possible to model it? Can the quantum paradigm help us in such an endeavor? We envisage the concept of emergence and quantum computing as decisive…
Urban Growth and Real Estate Income. A Comparison of Analytical Models
2016
I processi di crescita urbana sono notoriamente complessi dipendendo da un’ampia varietà di fattori demografici, socio-culturali ed economici. L’analisi è ancora più complessa nelle aree metropolitane che sono il risultato di antichi processi di agglomerazione in una fase d’intenso accrescimento dell’insediamento e, più recentemente, della formazione di policentrismo urbano. L’investigazione richiede l’acquisizione, l’analisi e l’elaborazione d’idonee informazioni a livello delle unità territoriali omogenee, basandosi su modelli consolidati o su nuovi protocolli da verificare. Il presente contributo analizza la crescita urbana secondo un approccio di piccola scala, individuando i distretti …
Imperial straightening devices in disciplinary choices of academic knowledge production
2021
Abstract In this piece, the authors question whether critical language research, in its complex collection of researcher choices, is possible beyond the discursive imaginary of critical academic scholarship. In other words, how do (allegedly) anticolonial efforts re-orient towards contribution to the imperial record? We present three vignettes, through which we grapple with the notion that researcher choice exists within the solipsism of academia. In doing so, we frame research and scholarship as a collection of choices, which we believe are better understood as a collection of fraught dilemmas. These dilemmas recognize that all academic scholarship production and its processes are birthed …
Using Kaleidoscopic Pedagogy to Foster Critically Reflective Learning About Management and Leadership
2019
This chapter focuses on an Arts-Based Intervention (ABI) into an Introductory course of Management and Leadership offered to students considering key concepts and frames of thinking in the field for the first time. First, we introduce Kaleidoscopic Pedagogy and conceptually frame our ABI in relation to the mode of learning that it allows for together with the drive for equality that it is concerned with. We then introduce the context of the ABI, describe the course and its background and the course facilitators together with information about the participants. Emphasis is placed on the way the course was framed to bring a sense of present-day management reality through our use of art-based …
Culture, Cultural Distance and Cultural Intelligence : A Multilevel Hierarchical Linear Model Analysis of Contextual Business Cultural Intelligence Q…
2019
Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 Purpose –The purpose of our master thesis is to investigate contextual antecedents to Cultural Intelligence development. Particularly, we assess the ability of cultural distance to predict Business Cultural Intelligence Quotient scores.Design / methodology / approach–Given our literature review, we hypothesize that cultural distance significantly affects BCIQ in a positive way. For this matter, we split our hypothesis into three sub-hypothesis and measured cultural distance in three ways: having at least one foreign parent, the Mahalanobis cultural distance, and the delta of each GLOBE’s practices dimensions expressed …
