Grid Global Behavior Prediction

Complexity has always been one of the most important issues in distributed computing. From the first clusters to grid and now cloud computing, dealing correctly and efficiently with system complexity is the key to taking technology a step further. In this sense, global behavior modeling is an innovative methodology aimed at understanding the grid behavior. The main objective of this methodology is to synthesize the grid's vast, heterogeneous nature into a simple but powerful behavior model, represented in the form of a single, abstract entity, with a global state. Global behavior modeling has proved to be very useful in effectively managing grid complexity but, in many cases, deeper knowledge is needed. It generates a descriptive model that could be greatly improved if extended not only to explain behavior, but also to predict it. In this paper we present a prediction methodology whose objective is to define the techniques needed to create global behavior prediction models for grid systems. This global behavior prediction can benefit grid management, specially in areas such as fault tolerance or job scheduling. The paper presents experimental results obtained in real scenarios in order to validate this approach

Comunicación asertiva y trabajo en equipo: Resultados de un programa de intervención en los supervisores de una empresa

The study aimed to determine the effect of the implementation of the program "Manage your Talent" in competence assertive communication skills and teamwork. A quasi-experimental research design was used with pre-test - intervention - post-test with control group. The sample included 28 supervisors of a private company, 13 in the experimental group and 15 in the control group. A type of purposive sample was used. The results suggest a positive impact of the program to significantly increase competition achievement assertive communication (U = 3.5, Z = 4.58, *** P <.000), just as in effective dialogue dimensions (U = 8.0), feedback (U = 10.0), conflict resolution (U= 7.0) and non-verbal communication (U = 4.0), the skills of this competence in the highest increase was recorded were effective dialogue and nonverbal communication. In the other, the increase was lower. Regarding competition teamwork (U = 0.00, Z = 4.837, *** P <.000), just as in the dimensions (U = 9.0), Goal Achievement (U = 15.0), democratic environment (U= 12.0) and decision making (U = 7.0). The skills of this competence in the highest increase was recorded were the subject property, democratic environment and goal achievement. Minor increase in decision-making for managing consensus.El estudio tuvo por objetivo determinar el efecto de la aplicación del Programa “Gestiona tu Talento” en las competencias de comunicación asertiva y trabajo en equipo.

Port-City Development: The Spanish Case

[Abstract]: The objective of this paper is to try to evaluate the port-city relationship from its onset, taking into account the challenges of port 4.0. Indicators such as the percentage of employees participating in training programs, the percentage of female employees in Galician ports, the percentage of merchandise moved by private operators and the percentage of companies with quality certification in Galician ports are evaluated. The fourth revolution is based on the transition from current fossil fuel-based energy models to alternative energy sources, changes in the logistics and transport parameters and finally, on the elimination of intermediation. The key component of the third pillar of new Economy 4.0 is complete digitalization. The optimum port-city solution must address the need of both the urban planner and the port manager to evaluate potential measures that would alleviate the pressure of dedicated port facilities on the city and vice versa to the greatest extent possible

A new computational approach to ideal theory in number fields

Let $K$ be the number field determined by a monic irreducible polynomial $f(x)$ with integer coefficients. In previous papers we parameterized the prime ideals of $K$ in terms of certain invariants attached to Newton polygons of higher order of the defining equation $f(x)$. In this paper we show how to carry out the basic operations on fractional ideals of $K$ in terms of these constructive representations of the prime ideals. From a computational perspective, these results facilitate the manipulation of fractional ideals of $K$ avoiding two heavy tasks: the construction of the maximal order of $K$ and the factorization of the discriminant of $f(x)$. The main computational ingredient is Montes algorithm, which is an extremely fast procedure to construct the prime ideals

La reproducció en la vida de les dones. Aportacions de l'antropologia

L’antropologia social i cultural ha estudiat la reproducció des del punt de vista de diverses especialitats –parentiu, simbolisme, feminisme, salut– i ha assenyalat tant les dimensions que comprèn com el caràcter social, construït i central per al manteniment d’una societat. Aquesta mirada permet a les autores suggerir certes hipòtesis a partir de les quals entendre la reproducció com un assumpte vertebrador de la vida de les dones en l’actualidad, que hauria de ser objecte d’estudi rellevant per a la ciència

Safeguarding Health at the Workplace: A Study of Work Engagement, Authenticity and Subjective Wellbeing among Religious Workers

: Research in work and organizational psychology has paid little attention to religious workers, something certainly surprising as faith-based organizations play a key role in the welfare state of many countries. This research shows that religious workers in a Catholic order present a high degree of subjective wellbeing, both in terms of flourishing and satisfaction with life in general, and a positive balance of positive and negative feelings. More specifically, this study examines the relationship between authenticity and wellbeing amongst religious workers. Survey responses from 142 religious workers in Spain were analyzed using partial least squares path modelling. The results reveal that subjective wellbeing at work is positively related to authenticity. In addition, this relationship is mediated by their level of work engagement
