Modelo causal del rendimiento en matemáticas (11-12 años)
This research intends to identify variables with influence on the Mathematics achievements in 11-12 year-old students to base on them an individual diagnose of the students and enable the taking of decisions to help improve their achievements. The research tries to build a theoretic model of casual relations between the considered variables and assess it by means of the LISREL technique of structural equation analysis. Because of progressive adjustments of the model originally proposed we now propose a final model including the variables: Intelligence, Memory, Study Habits, Academic Selfconcept, Reading Comprehension and Problem Solving, that can provide the guidelines for a more accurate performance in the classroom
Implementation of a holistic digital twin solution for design prototyping and virtual commissioning
Industry 4.0 has ushered in a new era of digital manufacturing and in this context, digital twins are considered as the next wave of simulation technologies. The development and commissioning of Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) is taking advantage of these technologies to improve product quality while reducing costs and time to market. However, existing practices of virtual design prototyping and commissioning require the cooperation of domain specific engineering fields. This involves considerable effort as development is mostly carried out in different departments using vendor specific simulation tools. There is still no integrated simulation environment commercially available, in which all engineering disciplines can work collaboratively. This presents a major challenge when interlinking virtual models with their physical counterparts. This paper therefore addresses these challenges by implementing a holistic and vendor agnostic digital twin solution for design prototyping and commissioning practices. The solution was tested in an industrial use case, in which the digital twin effectively prototyped cost-efficient solar assembly lines
Binding SNOMED-CT Terms to Archetype Elements: Establishing a Baseline of Results
Introduction: This article is part of the Focus Theme of METHODS of
Information in Medicine on "Managing Interoperability and Complexity in Health
Systems". Background: The proliferation of archetypes as a means to represent
information of Electronic Health Records has raised the need of binding
terminological codes - such as SNOMED CT codes - to their elements, in order to
identify them univocally. However, the large size of the terminologies makes it
difficult to perform this task manually. Objectives: To establish a baseline of
results for the aforementioned problem by using off-the-shelf string
comparison-based techniques against which results from more complex techniques
could be evaluated. Methods: Nine Typed Comparison METHODS were evaluated for
binding using a set of 487 archetype elements. Their recall was calculated and
Friedman and Nemenyi tests were applied in order to assess whether any of the
methods outperformed the others. Results: Using the qGrams method along with
the 'Text' information piece of archetype elements outperforms the other
methods if a level of confidence of 90% is considered. A recall of 25.26% is
obtained if just one SNOMED CT term is retrieved for each archetype element.
This recall rises to 50.51% and 75.56% if 10 and 100 elements are retrieved
respectively, that being a reduction of more than 99.99% on the SNOMED CT code
set. Conclusions: The baseline has been established following the
above-mentioned results. Moreover, it has been observed that although string
comparison-based methods do not outperform more sophisticated techniques, they
still can be an alternative for providing a reduced set of candidate terms for
each archetype element from which the ultimate term can be chosen later in the
more-than-likely manual supervision task.Comment: This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work

Reuse in safety critical systems: educational use case
The last decades, the electromechanical control systems are being replaced by Programmable Electronic Control Systems. The challenge is that these new systems have to be at least as safe as the replaced ones. Any company that want to compete in the Safety Embedded Systems related market and have success in business, have to develop competent systems reducing the time to market and the cost of the development and certification. The reusability of SW components is one of the solutions in this way. It is clear that the industry needs new graduates with this knowledge. In this paper we are going to explain a use case that the University of Mondragon is developing in order to use it in the Master of Embedded Systems with the objective to transfer the knowledge about how to develop safety critical and certifiable systems in an efficient way
SSDOnt: an Ontology for representing Single-Subject Design Studies
Background: Single-Subject Design is used in several areas such as education
and biomedicine. However, no suited formal vocabulary exists for annotating the
detailed configuration and the results of this type of research studies with
the appropriate granularity for looking for information about them. Therefore,
the search for those study designs relies heavily on a syntactical search on
the abstract, keywords or full text of the publications about the study, which
entails some limitations. Objective: To present SSDOnt, a specific purpose
ontology for describing and annotating single-subject design studies, so that
complex questions can be asked about them afterwards. Methods: The ontology was
developed following the NeOn methodology. Once the requirements of the ontology
were defined, a formal model was described in a Description Logic and later
implemented in the ontology language OWL 2 DL. Results: We show how the
ontology provides a reference model with a suitable terminology for the
annotation and searching of single-subject design studies and their main
components, such as the phases, the intervention types, the outcomes and the
results. Some mappings with terms of related ontologies have been established.
We show as proof-of-concept that classes in the ontology can be easily extended
to annotate more precise information about specific interventions and outcomes
such as those related to autism. Moreover, we provide examples of some types of
queries that can be posed to the ontology. Conclusions: SSDOnt has achieved the
purpose of covering the descriptions of the domain of single-subject research
studies.Comment: This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work

Towards the implementation of Industry 4.0: A methodology-based approach oriented to the customer life cycle
Many different worldwide initiatives are promoting the transformation from
machine dominant manufacturing to digital manufacturing. Thus, to achieve a
successful transformation to Industry 4.0 standard, manufacturing enterprises
are required to implement a clear roadmap. However, Small and Medium
Manufacturing Enterprises (SMEs) encounter many barriers and difficulties
(economical, technical, cultural, etc.) in the implementation of Industry 4.0.
Although several works deal with the incorporation of Industry 4.0 technologies
in the area of the product and supply chain life cycles, which SMEs could use
as reference, this is not the case for the customer life cycle. Thus, we
present two contributions that can help the software engineers of those SMEs to
incorporate Industry 4.0 technologies in the context of the customer life
cycle. The first contribution is a methodology that can help those software
engineers in the task of creating new software services, aligned with Industry
4.0, that allow to change how customers interact with enterprises and the
experiences they have while interacting with them. The methodology details a
set of stages that are divided into phases which in turn are made up of
activities. It places special emphasis on the incorporation of semantics
descriptions and 3D visualization in the implementation of those new services.
The second contribution is a system developed for a real manufacturing
scenario, using the proposed methodology, which allows to observe the
possibilities that this kind of systems can offer to SMEs in two phases of the
customer life cycle: Discover & Shop, and Use & Service.Comment: Accepted version of paper: V\'ictor Julio Ram\'irez-Dur\'an, Idoia
