How older and younger people see technology in Northern and Southern Europe : Closing the generation gap
2016
Background Mental representations of technology can be affected by many social and biological factors. The aim of this study was to test the effects of two of these factors, age and culture, on how people mentally represent and experience technologies by comparing the conceptions of old and young people in Spain and Finland. Both Spain and Finland are European countries, but they are historically, geographically, and culturally very different. Method The study is framed within the life-based design (LBD) paradigm, where culture and age interact to define particular forms of life in which technology might be used and perceived differently. We hypothesised that there are differences in the me…
Hyperspectral imaging based biomass and nitrogen content estimations from light-weight UAV
2013
Hyperspectral imaging based precise fertilization is challenge in the northern Europe, because of the cloud conditions. In this paper we will introduce schemes for the biomass and nitrogen content estimations from hyperspectral images. In this research we used the Fabry-Perot interferometer based hypespectral imager that enables hyperspectral imaging from lightweight UAVs. During the summers 2011 and 2012 imaging and flight campaigns were carried out on the Finnish test field. Estimation mehtod uses features from linear and non-linear unmixing and vegetation indices. The results showed that the concept of small hyperspectral imager, UAV and data analysis is ready to operational use.

DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION IN A GROUP OF INDUSTRY WORKERS, OF AN APPLICATION FOR AUDIOMETRIC SCREENING: A SOLUTION FOR SOCIAL DISTANCE DURING COVID-1…
2020
In the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic, companies and institutions all over the world are trying to find the best ways to reorganize their activity, minimizing the contagion risk among their employees, so as to protect their health and prevent internal SARS-COV-2 outbreaks. The recent development of new communication technologies, such as smartphones and tablets, has paved the way for the development and implementation of different applications. Starting with the above issues, in this study, we wanted to investigate the efficacy of iAudiometry application developed by our research team for the detection of deficits in the auditory system. Furthermore, we analyzed the precision in de…
Efectos de la rehabilitación de marcha con tareas duales en pacientes con enfermedad de Parkinson: ensayo controlado aleatorizado
2018
La rehabilitación física funcional permite a los pacientes desenvolverse en ambientes cotidianos, disminuyendo el riesgo de caer y las lesiones concomitantes en todos los escenarios posibles. Para lograr este objetivo, la rehabilitación de la marcha que incluye tareas duales es adecuada en patologías como la enfermedad de Parkinson (EP), ya que las alteraciones de la marcha parkinsoniana tienen un gran impacto en la funcionalidad y la percepción de la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Una tarea dual consiste, por ejemplo, en caminar mientras se ejecuta una tarea adicional cognitiva o motora con los brazos. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es diseñar un programa de rehabilitación de mar…
Technical determinants of competitive rifle shooting performance
2018
The purpose of this thesis was to identify technical determinants of elite level air rifle and biathlon standing shooting performance and investigate how these technical determinants are affected by training, competition situation, or intense exercise. Forty international and national level air rifle shooters and 17 biathletes participated in the studies. In air rifle shooting, shooting performance, aiming point trajectory, and postural balance were measured from each shot in a simulated competition series in the training situation and in the actual competition situation. The shooters’ competition results were collected from each measured season. In biathlon, the same shooting technical var…
Task-Specific Organic Salts and Ionic Liquids Binary Mixtures: A Combination to Obtain 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural From Carbohydrates
2019
The increase in energy demand and depletion of fossil fuels are among major issues of modern society. Valorization and transformation of raw materials in products of industrial value represents a challenge. This justifies the growing interest of scientific research towards the identification of suitable media and methodologies able to pursue above goals, paying attention to matter of sustainability. On this subject, we studied sulfonic-acid functionalized diimidazolium salts as catalysts for the conversion of fructose and sucrose to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) in an ionic liquid mixture. In general, using these salts allowed us to obtain 5-HMF in good yields from both substrates in mild…

A pesar del éxito de la inmunoterapia con los bloqueantes de los puntos del control inmune (ICBs) en el cáncer de pulmón, el porcentaje de pacientes que se beneficia de este tipo de tratamiento sigue siendo inferior al 30%, por lo que aún es necesario el desarrollo de nuevos posibles biomarcadores para una mejor selección de los pacientes. El objetivo principal del presente trabajo de tesis doctoral es caracterizar el repertorio de la cadena beta del receptor de células T (TCR-β) en sangre periférica y correlacionar con las variables demográficas, clínico-patológicas, predictivas y pronósticas en una cohorte de pacientes con cáncer de pulmón no microcítico (CPNM) en estadios avanzados trata…
