    These proceedings present an overview of the diboson production cross-section measurements and constraints on anomalous triple-gauge boson couplings performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations using proton-proton collisions produced at a centre-of-mass energy of √ s = 8 and 13 TeV at LHC. Results for all combinations of W, Z and γ gauge bosons are presented with emphasis on the new WZ production cross sections measured by ATLAS at √ s = 13 TeV and WW production cross section measured by CMS at √ s = 13 TeV. New constraints on anomalous triple-gauge couplings have been set by both experiments at 8 TeV.Peer Reviewe

    El término coste efectivo es un concepto novedoso, que comenzó a emplearse a partir del año 2015, siendo objeto de su cálculo los servicios que prestan las entidades locales, a instancias del Ministerio de Hacienda. No osbtante, a pesar de su reciente uso, constituye un indicador idóneo de la eficiencia con la que los distintos entes locales prestan los servicios. Es por ello el doble objetivo de este trabajo, estrechamente relacionado con el coste efectivo; en primer lugar, el estudio de la legislación correspondiente a este concepto y, por otro lado, el análisis del servicio "Evaluación e información de situaciones de necesidad social y atención y la atención inmediata a personas en situación o riesgo de exclusión social" llevado a cabo entre 2015 y 2019 por aquellos municipios jienenses de más de 20.000 habitantes, siendo estos: Alcalá la Real, Andújar, Jaén, Martos y Úbeda. Este análisis pormenorizado dará lugar al empleo del coste efectivo como indicador de eficiencia en este determinado servicio y para la muestra ya mencionada, obteniendo así una serie de conclusiones en cuanto al coste efectivo y la eficiencia en la prestación de este servicio

    Readability of Non-text Images on the World Wide Web (WWW)

    The World Wide Web associated the world in a manner that was unrealistic previously and made it a lot more straightforward for users to get data, share and impart. But, irrelevant non-text images on the web pages equally specify poor readability, disrupting the people from the emphasis of the reading. The main goal of this paper is to evaluate the impact of irrelevant or low-quality non-text images on the readability of the webpage. An automatic methodology has been proposed to compute the relevancy of the non-text images. This methodology merges different approaches to extract information from non-text images and read text from websites in order to find relevancy between them. This technique was used to analyze fifty different educational websites to automatically find the relevancy of their non-text images. A user study has been carried out to evaluate the proposed methodology with different types of questions. The results agree with the fact that the relevant non-text images enhance the readability of the web page. This research work will help web designers to improve readability by considering only the relevant content of a web page, without relying on expert judgment.This work was supported in part by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness under Grant CSO2017-86747-R, in part by the Andalusia Regional Projects under Grant AT17-5509-UMA ``ROSI'' and Grant UMA18-FEDERJA-074 ``ITERA,'' and in part by the European art83 under Contract 8.06/5.58.5900 DIH-HERO ``SUSTAIN.'

    Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in healthcare professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review

    Get PDF
    Background: COVID-19 has caused a series of economic, social, personal, and occupational consequences that may affect the mental health of healthcare workers (HCWs), with the consequent risk of developing suicidal ideation and behaviors. Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the main risk factors that may predispose HCWs to suicidal ideation and suicide attempts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A systematic review of studies published between January 2020 and August 2022 was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines in the following electronic databases: Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. Methodological quality was assessed using the critical appraisal tools for non-randomized studies of the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The followed protocol is listed in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) with code CRD42022340732.ResultsA total of 34 studies were included in this review. There are a number of underlying factors such as higher rates of depression, anxiety, pre-pandemic lifetime mental disorders or previous lifetime suicide attempt, living alone, having problems with alcohol and/or other drugs, etc. that favor the emergence of suicidal tendencies and ideation in times of COVID-19. Similarly, the pandemic may have precipitated a series of factors such as economic concerns, assessing one's working conditions as poor, having family members or friends infected, changes in services or functions, and feeling discriminated against or stigmatized by society. Other factors such as age, sex, or type of healthcare worker show differences between studies. Conclusion: Organizations should ensure the adoption of strategies and programmes for early detection of suicides as well as increased attention to the mental health of professions with a high workload.Universidad de Huelva/CBU

    Firmness and cell wall changes during maturation of ‘Arbequina’ olive fruit: the impact of irrigation

    Get PDF
    The olive tree (Olea europaea L.) has been cultivated around the Mediterranean basin since ancient times, ‘Arbequina’ being one of the most widely grown varieties. To improve the knowledge on ripening-related firmness changes in olive fruit, cell wall metabolism was studied in irrigated and rain-fed ‘Arbequina’ olives grown at ‘Les Garrigues’, a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) in Catalonia (NE Spain) where harsh environmental conditions occur during fruit development. Fruit samples were picked periodically from September to January. Time-course dynamics of firmness loss during maturation were characterised by a first phase of rapid firmness loss followed by a second phase of moderate change. Compositional changes in cell walls and related enzyme activities were studied in fruit samples. Fruit firmness was significantly higher in rain-fed than in irrigated olives. Neutral sugar loss, an early event in ripening-related cell wall modifications, was lower in rain-fed samples, which, moreover, retained higher uronic acid amounts in the chelator-soluble fraction, thus resulting in attenuated firmness loss in these fruits.This research was funded by the Plan Nacional de I+D, Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (MICINN), Spain, grant number AGL2015-64235-R.

    El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar la estructura de las rutinas de solo y dúo de natación sincronizada. Para ello se utilizó un diseño observacional puntual, nomotético y multidimensional. El instrumento observacional ad hoc fue validado por 12 especialistas. Se utilizó como instrumento de registro el programa LINCE. La fiabilidad en la observación se determinó mediante el grado de concordancia intra e interobservador. Dieciocho nadadoras (seis medallistas olímpicas) participaron en el estudio. Se analizaron 39 rutinas: solo técnico (n = 9), solo libre (n = 11), dúo técnico (n = 10) y dúo libre (n = 9). El 61.6 ± 6.4 %) del tiempo de competición las nadadoras estaban con la cara dentro del agua, con apneas máximas de 21.1 ± 4.0 s. La posición más utilizada en el conjunto de rutinas fue la inferior (43.2 ± 5.3 %), siendo la fase de inmersión alta inferior la más reproducida (35.3 ± 5.0 %). En conclusión: 1) se dispone de una herramienta válida para el análisis de la estructura de las rutinas en natación sincronizada, 2) existen diferencias significativas en la estructura de las rutinas atendiendo a la duración total, las fases relativas de apnea y a la inmersión en distintas posiciones corporales.The aim of this study was to characterize the structure of solo and duet-based synchronized swimming routines. This was done using a specific nomothetic multidimensional observational design. The ad hoc observational instrument was validated by 12 specialists. The data was recorded using LINCE software, and observational reliability was determined by calculating the degree of intra-observer and inter-observer agreement. The participants were 18 female swimmers (including six Olympic medallists), and 39 routines were analysed: technical solos (n = 9), free solos (n = 11), technical duets (n = 10) and free duets (n = 9). The swimmers spent 61.6 ± 6.4 % of the competition time with their faces immersed in the water, with maximum apnea of 21.1 ± 4.0 s. The inverted-vertical position was the most widely taken in routines (43.2 ± 5.3 %), with the phase of deep immersion in that position being the most commonly reproduced (35.3 ± 5.0 %). In conclusion: 1) the observational instrument is a valid tool for analysing the structure of routines in synchronized swimming; and 2) there are significant differences in the structure of routines as regards their total duration, episodes of apnea, and the degree of immersion in different body positions.O objectivo deste estudo foi caracterizar a estrutura das rotinas individuais e duplas de natação sincronizada.

    Different procedures for monitoring the evolution of leafy vegetables, under plastic covers during cold storage, have been studied. Fifteen spinach leaves were put inside Petri dishes covered with three different plastic films and stored at 4 °C for 21 days. Hyperspectral images were taken during this storage. A radiometric correction is proposed in order to avoid the variation in transmittance of the plastic films during time in the hyperspectral images. Afterwards, three spectral pre-processing procedures (no pre-process, Savitsky–Golay and Standard Normal Variate, combined with Principal Component Analysis) were applied to obtain different models. The corresponding artificial images of scores were studied by means of Analysis of Variance to compare their ability to sense the aging of the leaves. All models were able to monitor the aging through storage. Radiometric correction seemed to work properly and could allow the supervision of shelf-life in leafy vegetables through commercial transparent films
