Anàlisi de la violència filioparental en centres de menors : un estudi monogràfic
2019
espanolAntecedentes: El principal objetivo de este estudio era conocer las caracteristicas sociodemograficas, judiciales y psicologicas de los menores infractores que habian sido denunciados por violencia filio-parental, asi como elaborar posibles perfiles a partir de dichas caracteristicas. Metodo: Se analizaron expedientes judiciales correspondientes a 56 adolescentes del Centro de Educacion e Internamiento por Medida Judicial de Zaragoza –Espana–, que habian sido internados por violencia filio-parental en el periodo comprendido entre 2006 y 2016.Resultados: Los resultados indican una importante presencia de antecedentes por acogimiento en centros de proteccion de menores, hogares familia…
Error messages in relational database management systems: A comparison of effectiveness, usefulness, and user confidence
2021
Abstract The database and the database management system (DBMS) are two of the main components of any information system. Structured Query Language (SQL) is the most popular query language for retrieving data from the database, as well as for many other data management tasks. During system development and maintenance, software developers use a considerable amount of time to interpret compiler error messages. The quality of these error messages has been demonstrated to affect software development effectiveness, and correctly formulating queries and fixing them when needed is an important task for many software developers. In this study, we set out to investigate how participants ( N = 152 ) …
Microstructural evaluation and recommendations for face masks in community use to reduce the transmission of respiratory infectious diseases
2022
Funding Information: A.K., H.Y. and R.J. also acknowledges the funding through Academy of Finland BESIMAL (Decision No. 334197) and Aalto University, Department of Communications and Networking.

Designing a graphics processing unit accelerated petaflop capable lattice Boltzmann solver: Read aligned data layouts and asynchronous communication
2016
The lattice Boltzmann method is a well-established numerical approach for complex fluid flow simulations. Recently, general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs) have become available as high-performance computing resources at large scale. We report on designing and implementing a lattice Boltzmann solver for multi-GPU systems that achieves 1.79 PFLOPS performance on 16,384 GPUs. To achieve this performance, we introduce a GPU compatible version of the so-called bundle data layout and eliminate the halo sites in order to improve data access alignment. Furthermore, we make use of the possibility to overlap data transfer between the host central processing unit and the device GPU with com…
Applying Axial Symmetries to Historical Silk Fabrics: SILKNOW’s Virtual Loom
2020
Symmetry is part of textile art in patterns and motifs that decorate fabrics, which are made by the interlacement of warp and wefts. Moreover, the 3D representation of fabrics have already been studied by some authors
Regularity for nonlinear stochastic games
2015
We establish regularity for functions satisfying a dynamic programming equation, which may arise for example from stochastic games or discretization schemes. Our results can also be utilized in obtaining regularity and existence results for the corresponding partial differential equations. peerReviewed

Cultura visuale. Una genealogia
2020
Questo libro offre una ricognizione delle principali genealogie novecentesche della cultura visuale, scegliendo solo tre figure paradigmatiche: Aby Warburg, Sigmund Freud e Walter Benjamin. Dopo Warburg la nozione di immagine è definitivamente cambiata. Dopo Freud lo sguardo è indissolubilmente legato al tema della sessualità e del bios. Dopo Benjamin la nozione di dispositivo e quelle di apparato, assemblage e ambiente mediale sono definitivamente cambiate. Questi autori non stanno solo alle origini della cultura visuale ma ne prefigurano gli sviluppi futuri. Da Warburg abbiamo imparato che il fare-immagine fa parte della biologia e dei comportamenti essenziali dell’Homo sapiens, un aspett…
Impacts of Touch Screen Size, User Interface Design, and Subtask Boundaries on In-Car Task's Visual Demand and Driver Distraction
2020
Visual distraction by secondary in-car tasks is a major contributing factor in traffic incidents. In-car user interface design may mitigate these negative effects but to accomplish this, design factors’ visual distraction potential should be better understood. The effects of touch screen size, user interface design, and subtask boundaries on in-car task's visual demand and visual distraction potential were studied in two driving simulator experiments with 48 participants. Multilevel modeling was utilized to control the visual demands of driving and individual differences on in-car glance durations. The 2.5” larger touch screen slightly decreased the in-car glance durations and had a diminis…
AnatomySketch : An Extensible Open-Source Software Platform for Medical Image Analysis Algorithm Development
2021
AbstractThe development of medical image analysis algorithm is a complex process including the multiple sub-steps of model training, data visualization, human–computer interaction and graphical user interface (GUI) construction. To accelerate the development process, algorithm developers need a software tool to assist with all the sub-steps so that they can focus on the core function implementation. Especially, for the development of deep learning (DL) algorithms, a software tool supporting training data annotation and GUI construction is highly desired. In this work, we constructed AnatomySketch, an extensible open-source software platform with a friendly GUI and a flexible plugin interfac…
