Cotas superior e inferior para la función de distribución del tiempo de reacción en modelos de procesamiento en paralelo
En los modelos estocásticos de procesamiento en paralelo, adoptando la terminología propuesta por Colonius y coautores, un sistema se denomina «k th-terminating» si inicia la respuesta en cuanto k de sus n canales activados han terminado el procesamiento. Estos autores también desarrollan una metodología para obtener las cotas superior e inferior para la función de distribución del tiempo de reacción en un sistema paralelo «k th-terminating» de capacidad ilimitada y n canales, para valores de k uno, dos y n (Colonius y Vorberg, 1994. Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 38, 35-58; Colonius y Ellermeier, 1997. Analysis. Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 41, 19-27). En el presente trabajo se utiliza una metodología análoga para extender la solución a cualquier valor de k. Las funciones de distribución de los tiempos de reacción se expresan como probabilidades conjuntas, y se utilizan desigualdades de tipo Bonferroni
Mejora de la velocidad de anticipación mediante un tratamiento de entrenamiento visual .
En el presente trabajo se ha diseñado un experimento de sujeto único para estudiar la eficacia de un tratamiento de entrenamiento visual en la mejora de la velocidad de anticipación. El diseño utilizado es del tipo A-B-A, es decir, que consta de tres fases: una primera de línea base (A), una segunda de tratamiento (B) y una tercera de reversión (A nuevamente). La variable dependiente, medida a lo largo del tiempo, es la velocidad de anticipación; la variable independiente es la presencia o ausencia de entrenamiento visual. Tras elegir un sujeto adecuado, se procedió a la toma de datos a lo largo del tiempo, obteniéndose como resultado una serie temporal que fue analizada utilizando diferentes técnicas (análisis visual, análisis estadístico clásico, análisis de series temporales), encontrándose en todos los casos eficacia del tratamient

ENGIU: Encuentro Nacional de Grupos de Investigación de UNIMINUTO.
El desarrollo del prototipo para el sistema de detección de Mina Antipersona
(MAP), inicia desde el semillero ADSSOF perteneciente al programa de Administración en Seguridad y Salud en el trabajo de la UNIMINUTO, se realiza a partir de un
detector de metales que emite una señal audible, que el usuario puede interpretar
como aviso de presencia de un objeto metálico, en este caso una MAP. La señal
audible se interpreta como un dato, como ese dato no es perceptible a 5 metros de
distancia, se implementa el transmisor de Frecuencia Modulada FM por la facilidad
de modulación y la escogencia de frecuencia de transmisión de acuerdo con las
normas y resolución del Ministerio de Comunicaciones; de manera que esta sea la
plataforma base para enviar los datos obtenidos a una frecuencia establecida. La
idea es que el ser humano no explore zonas peligrosas y buscar la forma de crear
un sistema que permita eliminar ese riesgo, por otro lado, buscar la facilidad de uso
de elementos ya disponibles en el mercado

Effects of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery: an international prospective cohort study an international prospective cohort study
We aimed to determine the impact of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery during the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We performed an international prospective cohort study including patients undergoing elective surgery in October 2020. Isolation was defined as the period before surgery during which patients did not leave their house or receive visitors from outside their household. The primary outcome was postoperative pulmonary complications, adjusted in multivariable models for measured confounders. Pre-defined sub-group analyses were performed for the primary outcome. A total of 96,454 patients from 114 countries were included and overall, 26,948 (27.9%) patients isolated before surgery. Postoperative pulmonary complications were recorded in 1947 (2.0%) patients of which 227 (11.7%) were associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients who isolated pre-operatively were older, had more respiratory comorbidities and were more commonly from areas of high SARS-CoV-2 incidence and high-income countries. Although the overall rates of postoperative pulmonary complications were similar in those that isolated and those that did not (2.1% vs 2.0%, respectively), isolation was associated with higher rates of postoperative pulmonary complications after adjustment (adjusted OR 1.20, 95%CI 1.05–1.36, p = 0.005). Sensitivity analyses revealed no further differences when patients were categorised by: pre-operative testing; use of COVID-19-free pathways; or community SARS-CoV-2 prevalence. The rate of postoperative pulmonary complications increased with periods of isolation longer than 3 days, with an OR (95%CI) at 4–7 days or ≥ 8 days of 1.25 (1.04–1.48), p = 0.015 and 1.31 (1.11–1.55), p = 0.001, respectively. Isolation before elective surgery might be associated with a small but clinically important increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. Longer periods of isolation showed no reduction in the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. These findings have significant implications for global provision of elective surgical care.
