Resilience in Sports: Sport Type, Gender, Age and Sport Level Differences.

There seems to be a broad consensus that there is a positive correlation between resilience and sport performance. However, different studies show divergent results on the role played by certain variables in this relationship. This study aimed to analyze the possible relationships between resilience levels and the practiced sport according to gender, age, and competitive level of the athletes in 1047 competitive athletes from five different sports (handball, basketball, volleyball, athletics, and judo). Resilience was assessed with the Spanish version of the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). Results of independent samples t-tests or analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed no significant differences on the level of resilience according to the practiced sport or the competitive level. However, the analyses of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that they were related to the gender and age of the athletes, being higher in males than in females, and there was a positive correlation with age. These results seem to suggest the convenience of using differentiated strategies, according to gender and age, when working on all those protective factors that could allow the athlete to perform better when facing adversity in the competitive environmentpost-print384 K

Entropy Measures for Stochastic Processes with Applications in Functional Anomaly Detection

We propose a definition of entropy for stochastic processes. We provide a reproducing kernel Hilbert space model to estimate entropy from a random sample of realizations of a stochastic process, namely functional data, and introduce two approaches to estimate minimum entropy sets. These sets are relevant to detect anomalous or outlier functional data. A numerical experiment illustrates the performance of the proposed method; in addition, we conduct an analysis of mortality rate curves as an interesting application in a real-data context to explore functional anomaly detection.The first and third authors acknowledge financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness ECO2015-66593-P.

Emotional Intelligence of Undergraduate Athletes: The Role of Sports Experience.

Sport is an emotional experience. Studies have shown that high emotional intelligence (EI) is associated with better sports performance, though different aspects of sports experience and their relationship with EI are still unclear. This study examined the possible relationships between sports experience and EI dimensions of undergraduate athletes. Likewise, according to the differences described in the literature between men and women, the secondary aim was to identify the possible relationship between EI and sports experience in both subgroups. A total of 1784 [712 men (39.9%), 1072 women (60.1%); mean age = 21.3 years, SD = 4.2)] undergraduate athletes completed the Trait Meta Mood Scale and a sports experience questionnaire. Comparisons between groups were performed using Mann–Whitney-U and H-Kruskal–Wallis tests and correlations between variables were analyzed using Spearman correlation. We found that the number of different sports practiced and the number of years practicing sports were positively associated with emotional repair (ER). However, the number of years practicing sports was negatively associated with emotional attention (EA). Male athletes who trained more and had a higher competitive level were more likely to show higher ER. In any case, it is necessary to take into account that all the associations were weak. Our study suggested that athletes tend to attend to and value their feelings and use positive thinking to repair their negative moods.post-print196 K

Ludwig Wittgenstein. Parcours architectural d’un philosophe analytique

[EN] The architectural condition and its connotations in other areas of culture, such as analytical philosophy, is a challenge that can be observed through the figure of the intellectual from 19th century Vienna, Ludwig Wittgenstein. His obsessive dedication, a manifest disposition in any work that occupies his time, would lead to a clear foray into the profession of architect, among other activities. His imprint was exposed in his work and perpetuated through the iconic Stonborough house, built for his sister in Vienna. In it, he will culminate a work that testifies to the mastery of interior spatial proportion, rationality and control over architectural detail to its last consequences. His masterpiece “Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus” (1921), together with “Being and Time” by Martin Heidegger (1927), constitute the two referents of Western thought of the last century. In it, he investigates the exercise carried out by the philosopher, in the context of architecture. He addresses the exact representation of the world through the application of a deductive logic method, with properly ordered propositions with which to structure what for him constitutes the essential event of the architectural “fact.”[CA] La condició arquitectònica i les seues connotacions en altres àmbits de la cultura, com el de la filosofia analítica, suposa repte divisible a través de la figura de l’intel·lectual de la Viena del segle XIX, Ludwig Wittgenstein. La seua dedicació obsessiva, tarannà manifest en qualsevol labor que ocupara el seu temps, derivaria, entre altres activitats, en una clara incursió en la professió d’arquitecte.

En ella culminarà una obra en la qual es testimonia el domini de la proporció espacial interior, la racionalitat i control sobre el detall arquitectònic portat a les seues últimes conseqüències. A partir de l’anàlisi de la seua obra mestra el Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921), que al costat de Ser i Temps de Martin Heidegger (1927) constitueixen els dos referents del pensament occidental del passat segle, s’indaga sobre l’exercici que desenvolupa el filòsof, en el context de l’arquitectura, sobre la representació exacta del món mitjançant l’aplicació d’un mètode de lògica deductiva, amb proposicions degudament ordenades amb les quals estructurar el que per a ell constitueix l’esdeveniment essencial del, en aquest cas, “fet” arquitectònic.[ES] La condición arquitectónica y sus connotaciones en otros ámbitos de la cultura, como el de la filosofía analítica, supone reto divisable a través de la figura del intelectual de la Viena del siglo XIX, Ludwig Wittgenstein.

A novel on-site deployment, commissioning and debugging technique to assess and validate WSN based smart systems

In this work a novel on-site toolset-based architecture for tackling the main challenges of deploying and commissioning large scale WSN-based systems is proposed. This is one of the first implementations that addresses a complete set of runtime algorithms to efficiently deploy sensor platforms in the target scenarios based on the inclusion of the real behavior of the nodes within the in-situ simulation chain, combined with the integration of runtime diagnosis and reprogramming strategies to analyze the performance of the deployment in-field
