Two case studies on generating administrative process applications with AdminDSL

Some organizations end up reimplementing the same class of business process over and over: an "administrative process", which consists of managing a form through several states and involving various roles in the organization. This results in wasted time that could be dedicated to better understanding the process or dealing with the fine details that are specific to the process. Existing virtual office solutions require specific training and infrastructure andmay result in vendor lock-in. In this paper, we propose using a high-level domain-specific language (AdminDSL) to describe the administrative process and a separate code generator targeting a standard web framework. We have implemented the approach using Xtext, EGL and the Django web framework, and we illustrate it through two case studies: a synthetic examination process which illustrates the architecture of the generated code, and a real-world workplace survey process that identified several future avenues for improvement

Factores de riesgo asociados a sepsis neonatal en niños ingresados a la sala de neonatología en el Hospital Gaspar García Laviana-Rivas en el periodo Enero-Diciembre del año 2014

El objetivo a estudio es identificar los factores de riesgo asociados a sepsis neonatal en niños ingresados a la sala de neonatología en el Hospital Gaspar García Laviana-Rivas en el periodo Enero- Diciembre del año 2014. Materiales y métodos: estudio analítico observacional retrospectivo de casos y controles. La muestra la constituyeron 150 casos y controles respectivamente tomando como línea bases el universo de los recién nacidos para una relación 1:1. El criterio de inclusión de casos fue: recién nacidos ingresados en la sala de neonatología con el diagnóstico de sepsis neonata. Los controles de bebés ingresados en la sala de neonatología sin el diagnóstico de sepsis neonatal. Resultados: Los factores de riesgo maternos como la IVU, RPM, corioamnioitis, fiebre y leucocitosis se presentaron en menor cantidad poblacional en los casos en comparación con los controles siendo la mayoría negativa. Los siguientes factores de riesgo de sepsis neonatal: sexo, edad gestacional, peso al nacer, edad materna, control prenatal, paridad, infección urinaria y ruptura prematura de membrana. Conclusión: Los factores de riesgo fueron: primigesta/multigesta, sexo neonatal, apgar, manobras invasivas y edad gestacional al nacimiento se correlacionan con la aparición de sepsis neonatal, en cambio los controles prenatales, factores maternos y pesos al nacer no están relacionados directamente con la enfermedad. Recomendaciones a unidades primarias, hospital y Silais sobre la capacitación a cada trabajador de la salud sobre la detección prematura de estos factores de riesgo como beneficio de la prevención de la aparición de sepsis neonatal que cobra vidas en toda

Do we compute the exact number of digits in the string when comparing different-length numbers?

Recent studies have shown that, when comparing multidigit numbers that differ in length (e.g., 2384-107), a decision is made considering length but also other attributes like the value of the initial digits (i.e., left-most digit/length congruity effect: faster responses to 2384-107 than to 2675-398). A non-solved issue is whether participants choose the number with more digits by exactly computing the number of digits in the string (e.g., 3 vs. 4) or whether they simply choose the perceptually larger item. In our first study participants were presented with pairs of different length numbers (3 vs. 4-digits) and were requested to decide which multidigit starts with a larger digit. Results showed more difficulties when the smaller digit was in the 4-digit length number, suggesting that length was automatically processed even although it was irrelevant for the task. In a second study, we presented participants with pairs of 3- and 4-digit-length numbers but obscured the processing of perceptual length by including a letter at the end of the 3-digit-length numbers (e.g., 8567-342M). Additionally, we manipulated the left-most-digit/length congruity effect and presented one string in each pair in a larger font than the other. Then we requested participants to do a physical size decision task. Together with an influence of the leftmost digit in the string, no effects of digit-length were observed, thus suggesting that the exact number of digits in the string is not processed automatically. It seems participants rely on perceptual information when comparing multidigit numbers that differ in length.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech

NORA: Scalable OWL reasoner based on NoSQL databasesand Apache Spark

Reasoning is the process of inferring new knowledge and identifying inconsis-tencies within ontologies. Traditional techniques often prove inadequate whenreasoning over large Knowledge Bases containing millions or billions of facts.This article introduces NORA, a persistent and scalable OWL reasoner built ontop of Apache Spark, designed to address the challenges of reasoning over exten-sive and complex ontologies. NORA exploits the scalability of NoSQL databasesto effectively apply inference rules to Big Data ontologies with large ABoxes. Tofacilitatescalablereasoning,OWLdata,includingclassandpropertyhierarchiesand instances, are materialized in the Apache Cassandra database. Spark pro-grams are then evaluated iteratively, uncovering new implicit knowledge fromthe dataset and leading to enhanced performance and more efficient reasoningover large-scale ontologies. NORA has undergone a thorough evaluation withdifferent benchmarking ontologies of varying sizes to assess the scalability of thedeveloped solution.Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Málaga / CBUA This work has been partially funded by grant (funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/) PID2020-112540RB-C41,AETHER-UMA (A smart data holistic approach for context-aware data analytics: semantics and context exploita-tion).

Recovery of butanol from model fermentation broths by adsorption on activated carbon

The interest for the fermentative production of butanol (as bio-fuel or chemical) has increased in the last years mainly due to the increasing of oil price, the depletion of fossil resources and the CO2 emissions. Bio-butanol is produced in ABE fermentation process. The butanol concentration in the broths at the end of the process is very low (10-20 g/L) because it causes the inhibition of the producing microorganism. From this fact, biobutanol needs to be continuously removed from the broth to avoid this inhibition process. In addition, an energy-efficient process must be developed to recover a product with a very low concentration that also presents an azeotrope with water mixtures. In this contribution, a cyclic process is proposed which consists of an adsorption step in liquid phase using activated carbon F400® (Calgon Carbon®) followed by a desorption step with hot air. The desorbed products are recovered by condensation and decantation. The selectivity of the adsorbent in the adsorption step, the effect of desorption conditions on the regeneration time and the purity and recovery of the condensed products have been studied. A mathematical model based on fundamental equations has been developed to describe the full cyclic process. Please click Additional Files below to see the full abstract

Prosthetic Memory: Object Memories and Security for Children

Children younger than 3 years old are very special humans, their psychomotor and social development is very fast and parents and relatives would like to know every new detail (when, who, where, what, how and why) in real time. These news are difficult to remember and some kind of diary is needed. Here we propose a “prosthetic memory” based on Digital Object Memories applied to Web of Things using hidden NFC tags in children’s clothes, mobile applications for smartphones and a central server to store the ontologized information

Las zonas de baño interior en Aragón: el caso del Salto de Bierge. Estudio de la demanda recreativa y la ordenación de usos en este espacio de la Sierra de Guara (Huesca).

El Salto de Bierge es un enclave situado en el Río Alcanadre a su paso por la localidad de Bierge, perteneciente a la comarca del Somontano de Barbastro (Huesca). Se encuentra en el Parque Natural de la Sierra y Cañones de Guara. El nombre de Salto de Bierge se debe a un azud que se encuentra en este punto, el cual hace que las aguas del Alcanadre caigan ocho metros. Este espacio ha sido utilizado desde hace décadas como zona recreativa de baño, así como para la producción de electricidad. Con la llegada de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, así como con la popularización de las redes sociales, este espacio comenzó a tener una difusión y promoción que fue atrayendo a cada vez más gente, hasta llegar a un nivel de masificación que provocó una problemática medioambiental, sanitaria y de convivencia, la cual produjo que la actividad de baño fuese insostenible en esta zona. Para atajar esta problemática se decidió implantar un modelo de regulación basado en una limitación del aforo y en el pago de una entrada, el cual entró en vigor en 2017. Gracias a esta regulación se eliminó la masificación y se atajaron los graves problemas que esta generaba, permitiendo de nuevo que la actividad recreativa de baño en este entorno fuera agradable y sostenible. <br /
