Huaca Garagay Site Museum

El proyecto de Museo de Sitio Huaca Garagay, ubicado en el distrito de San Martín de Porres, en Lima, es una intervención arquitectónica – urbana, cuyo objetivo busca proteger y repotenciar la importancia de un espacio arqueológico abandonado, destruido e invadido durante su historia, consolidando este sector en un espacio público metropolitano. Haciendo esto, integramos este sector con la ciudad de Lima, pero también, se buscará que este proyecto genere un espacio comunitario para los vecinos de la zona, con la búsqueda de proteger el monumento arquitectónico ya existente en el lugar. Este proyecto se sustenta en bases teóricas, las cuales son desarrolladas en base al proceso de investigación, dando importancia a los recursos que se han tomado en los últimos 20 años para intervenir de manera armónica un resto arqueológico, teniendo como resultado una propuesta que se materializa en generar un vínculo entre la Arquitectura Prehispánica y la Arquitectura Contemporánea. La propuesta busca la mímesis entre lo existente (la Huaca Garagay) y lo nuevo (el Museo). La edificación tendrá en el primer nivel, a manera de excavación, espacios comunitarios (Biblioteca, Talleres) que permitirán la recreación y descanso en una “plaza hundida” central. El segundo nivel, que estará a nivel de la calle, tendrá como desarrollo el recorrido del Museo de Sitio y el Auditorio, y el último nivel, el restaurante. Todo conectado con un área de investigación, administración y servicios. Finalmente, se concluye que la propuesta tiene un resultado positivo en la sociedad, la ciudad y el entorno.The Huaca Garagay Site Museum project, located in San Martín de Porres district, in Lima, is an architectural-urban intervention, whose purpose seeks to protect and reinforce the importance of an archaeological space abandoned, destroyed and invaded during its history, consolidating this sector in a metropolitan public space. By doing this, I integrate this sector with the city of Lima, but also, this project will create a community space for the residents of the area, seeking to protect the architectural monument already existing in the place. This project is based on theoretical bases, which means that have been developed on the research process, giving importance to the resources that have been taken in the last 20 years to harmoniously intervene in an archaeological site, resulting in a proposal that materializes in generating a link between Pre-Hispanic architecture and Contemporary Architecture. The proposal seeks a mimesis between what exists (the Huaca Garagay) and what is new (the Museum), generating one only building. On its first level, as an excavation, will have community spaces (library, workshops) that will allow recreation and rest in a "sunken plaza” central. The second level, which will be at street level, will have the development of the Site Museum and the Auditorium, and the last level, the restaurant. Everything connected to research, administration and services area. Finally, it is concluded that the proposal has a positive result in society, the city and the environment.Tesi

Workshop on Novel Methodologies for Evaluation in Information

Abstract Information retrieval is an empirical science; the field cannot move forward unless there are means of evaluating the innovations devised by researchers. However the methodologies conceived in the early years of IR and used in the campaigns of today are starting to show their age and new research is emerging to understand how to overcome the twin challenges of scale and diversity. With such challenges in mind it was decided to hold the first Workshop on Novel Methodologies for Evaluation in Information Retrieval. The workshop was composed of two invited talks as well as long and short papers covering a range of important evaluation methods and tools. The workshop was chaired by Mark Sanderson; with co-organization from Julio Gonzalo, Nicola Ferro and Martin Braschler. Invited talks The invited talks were from Tetsuya Sakai (NewsWatch) and Martin Braschler (Zurich University of Applied Science). In both talks, the speakers described approaches to evaluation that did not involve the traditional use of test collections. Tetsuya spoke on his experience evaluating search engines working at NewsWatch. The extensive use of query logs was a key part of his talk. Sakai showed the way in which use of such logs allows examination of more complex search behaviors beyond the initial search covered by test collections. In the same vein, Martin Braschler detailed a study of the search facilities on a large number of enterprise web sites. Like Sakai, Braschler choose to look beyond traditional approaches of evaluation by not just examining precision and recall, but other factors such as speed of response and coverage of the search engine of structured data sources held by the enterprise. Refereed papers Eleven short and long papers were presented at the workshop. The papers are grouped under common themes

Cognitive Impairment, Frailty, and Adverse Outcomes Among Prevalent Hemodialysis Recipients:Results From a Large Prospective Cohort Study in the United Kingdom

RATIONALE &amp; OBJECTIVE: Frailty and cognitive impairment are common in hemodialysis recipients and have been associated with high mortality. There is considerable heterogeneity in frailty reporting, with little comparison between commonly used frailty tools and little exploration of the interplay between cognition and frailty. The aims were to explore the relationship between frailty scores and cognition and their associations with hospitalization and mortality.STUDY DESIGN: Prospective cohort study.SETTING &amp; POPULATION: Prevalent hemodialysis recipients linked to national datasets for hospitalization and mortality.PREDICTORS: Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Frailty Phenotype, Frailty Index (FI), Edmonton Frailty Scale, and Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) were performed at baseline. Cognitive impairment was defined as MoCA scores of &lt;26, or &lt;21 in dexterity impairment, &lt;18 in visual impairment.OUTCOMES: Mortality, hospitalization.ANALYTICAL APPROACH: Cox proportional hazards model for mortality, censored for end of follow-up. Negative binomial regression for admission rates, censored for death/end of follow-up.RESULTS: In total, 448 participants were recruited with valid MoCAs and followed up for a median of 685 days. There were 103 (23%) deaths and 1,120 admissions of at least one night. Cognitive impairment was identified in 346 (77.2%) participants. Increasing frailty by all definitions was associated with poorer cognition. Cognition was not associated with mortality (HR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.95-1.03; P = 0.41) or hospitalization (IRR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.99-1.04; P = 0.39) on multivariable analyses. There were interactions between MoCA scores and increasing frailty by FI (P = 0.002) and Clinical Frailty Scale (P = 0.005); admissions were highest when both MoCA and frailty scores were high, and when both scores were low.LIMITATIONS: As frailty is a dynamic state, a single cross-sectional assessment may not accurately reflect its year-to-year variability. In addition, these findings are in maintenance dialysis and may not be transferable to incident hemodialysis. There were small variations in application of frailty tool criteria from other studies, which may have influenced the results.CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive impairment is highly prevalent in this hemodialysis cohort. The interaction between cognition and frailty on rates of admission suggests the MoCA offers value in identifying higher risk hemodialysis populations with both high and low degrees of frailty.</p
