Actividad física: algo más que gasto energético

Tradicionalmente, se ha considerado el balance energético como la diferencia entre consumo y gasto calórico, asociando resultados positivos a un incremento del índice de masa corporal, que puede conducir hacia sobrepeso u obesidad en casos extremos. En la actualidad, se conocen diversos factores genéticos, metabólicos y ambientales (regulación del apetito, intensidad del ejercicio, sedentarismo), que afectan al balance energético y están induciendo hacia una pandemia de enfermedades crónicas, como la obesidad. El avance del conocimiento científico viene indicando que el ejercicio físico planificado que cumpla con las recomendaciones de actividad física, hace aumentar el nivel de condición física, reduce el sedentarismo y provoca una disminución del índice de masa corporal con un descenso asociado del porcentaje de masa grasa, factores que inducen sobre el bienestar físico, psicológico y socio-emocional

Towards an Ontology for Product Version Management

During its lifecycle, products are affected by market, technology, and user requirements. Without a process for efficiently handling product changes, product data, which is spread in different areas and systems, might become unusable, incomplete, or inconsistent. A simple change on product information may trigger a domino effect that could be very difficult to control. In order to reduce this effect, knowledge is important to answer what, when, why, and how a change occurred. This article proposes an ontology that allows capturing product changes in order to answer the aforementioned questions. The proposed ontology extends PRoductONTOlogy (PRONTO) (Vegetti et al., 2011) to represent product family changes. OWL implementation of the proposed ontology is presented with a simple case study to validate it.Fil: Sonzini, Maria Soledad. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Ontology-based solutions for interoperability among product lifecycle management systems: A systematic literature review

During recent years, globalization has had an impact on the competitive capacity of industries, forcing them to integrate their productive processes with other, geographically distributed, facilities. This requires the information systems that support such processes to interoperate. Significant attention has been paid to the development of ontology-based solutions, which are meant to tackle issues from inconsistency to semantic interoperability and knowledge reusability. This paper looks into how the available technology, models and ontology-based solutions might interact within the manufacturing industry environment to achieve semantic interoperability among industrial information systems. Through a systematic literature review, this paper has aimed to identify the most relevant elements to consider in the development of an ontology-based solution and how these solutions are being deployed in industry. The research analyzed 54 studies in alignment with the specific requirements of our research questions. The most relevant results show that ontology-based solutions can be set up using OWL as the ontology language, Protégé as the ontology modeling tool, Jena as the application programming interface to interact with the built ontology, and different standards from the International Organization for Standardization Technical Committee 184, Subcommittee 4 or 5, to get the foundational concepts, axioms, and relationships to develop the knowledge base. We believe that the findings of this study make an important contribution to practitioners and researchers as they provide useful information about different projects and choices involved in undertaking projects in the field of industrial ontology application.Fil: Fraga, Alvaro Luis.

Conceptual Model for the Integration of PRONTO with ISO Standard 15926

In this paper a conceptual model based on the ISO 15926 standard is proposed in order to extend and make explicit the representation of product variants given by PRONTO. This extension will allow introducing the product model in a collaborative environment where information systems are able to exchange information with other products systems. Interoperability of systems tends to increase the consistency of models, due to they may have several interpretations. Therefore, the proposal defines new elements and adapts these to the data model of the standard, for a complete concept mapping of PRONTO. Furthermore, changes in the product information are represented in time, through 4D approach.Fil: Sonzini, Maria Soledad. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

An ontology for specifying and tracing requirements engineering artifacts and Test Artifacts

Nowadays, modern software development processes follow an iterative approach, which makes possible to start the testing of a system at early stages. This approach requires recording the requirements artifacts that specify the functionality or characteristics required by the system, and the test cases that are derived from each requirement artifact. Frequently, software development organizations employ supporting tools to create and maintain these artifacts. There exist numerous tools for supporting requirements specification activities, as well as the definition and execution of test cases. These separate tools have their own databases and metamodels. The lack of integration between these tools leads to difficulties in tracing related artifacts and obtaining useful knowledge to manage the developing process. It is necessary to understand without ambiguities the concepts used by the different tools to allow them to interoperate. This paper proposes an ontology that defines and integrates the concepts included by the metamodels of different Requirements Engineering and Testing Management supporting tools. The formalization of these concepts and their relationships in an ontology language prevents ambiguity of the concepts and permit to the tools involved to interoperate with each other, to achieve semantic consistency and the tracing of artifacts. The proposed ontology used in conjunction with a reasoner provides capabilities to infer traces that are not explicit, which makes it possible to easily maintain artifacts and associations between them. The approach facilitates backward tracing from test cases to use cases and functional requirements artifacts, obtain knowledge about the causes of a defect or a poor specification, and enable impact analysis.Fil: Roldán, María Luciana.

Maternal influence on early lipid content in an introduced partially anadromous population of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss

This study evaluated how the maternal migratory tactic in a partially anadromous population of Oncorhynchus mykiss may influence the early energetic status of their offspring. Total lipid content variation (% dry mass) of recently emerged fry caught in the Santa Cruz River, Argentina, was evaluated as a function of their maternal origin (anadromous v. resident) and fork length (LF ). Lipid content of fry decreased with LF and was higher for offspring of anadromous mothers.Fil: Liberoff, Ana Laura. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Wastewater effluents analysis from sustainable algae-based blue dyeing with phycocyanin

[EN] Sustainability in the textile industry is a challenge with an imminent need to be tackled. One approach can be focused on replacing fossil-based dyes with renewable and less polluting alternatives. In this sense, this study focuses on validating the suitability of an innovative natural-based blue dye, phycocyanin, sourced from Spirulina platensis microalgae. The laboratory-based experimental approach envisages the exhaustion dyeing of pre-mordanted cotton and bleached wool with phycocyanin-rich extract, representing the sustainable blue dye. The color characterization of naturally blue-dyed fabrics was performed via CIELab coordinates, depth of color by color stregth valures (K/S), values of dye exhaustion, and colorfastness to laundering and light. The results indicate suitable dyeability with the natural blue dye, with process improvements a possibility. The main environmental character of this process was analyzed from the dyeing effluent characterization perspective. Measurements of chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand, and metal content were performed on effluents resulting from dyeing processes with variable parameters, to analyze the influence of mordant use, process temperature, time, and pH. Findings indicate that the application of optimum dyeing process conditions results in the lowest oxygen demand values, suitable for further wastewater reuse, according to international industrial effluent limitations. The biological fungi wastewater treatment resulted in the reduction of biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand values by around 80%, comparable with the industrial process, validating the sustainable character of using algae-based phycocyanin in the bath exhaustion dyeing process.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: The authors acknowledge the support of this study to the research projects funded by the European Commission, SEACOLORS, "Demonstration of new natural dyes from algae as substitution of synthetic dyes actually used by textile industries," (grant number LIFE13 ENV/ES/000445) within the LIFE 2013 "Environment 300 Policy and Governance project application" program and GREENCOLOR "Study of the application of natural colorants in dyeing and printing processes in the textile industry," in the framework of the local call, Valencian, IVACE 2017, reference number: IMDEEA/2017/37.Moldovan, S.; Bou-Belda, E.; Franco, E.; Ferrándiz, M.; Gisbert Paya, J.; Díaz-García, P.; Pascual, J....
