Le rôle du merveilleux dans les lais de Marie de France.

Marie de France a écrit à la fin du XIIème siècle douze lais en octosyllabes où elle mettait l’accent sur les effets de l’amour courtois et où le monde merveilleux, qui est notre objet d'étude, perce avec clarté. La lecture de ces lais révèle une interaction directe des éléments merveilleux avec l'amour. Le merveilleux peut favoriser l'amour, mais il peut aussi le détruire. Pour cette raison, ce travail est divisé en deux parties, selon l'interaction de ces éléments. Nous verrons comment à travers son utilisation, l'auteure a cherché quelque chose au-delà de l'introduction de faits fantastiques : nous essaierons d'établir les limites de l'usage du merveilleux, comment ils apparaissent, comment ils interagissent avec l’entourage, quel est sa fonction et nous justifierons son utilisation à travers certains extraits qui accompagneront notre explication pour tirer des conclusions qui nous montreront l’importance du merveilleux pour introduire certains thèmes qui à l’époque étaient mal vus. <br /

Salsa dataset: primera base de conocimiento de música salsa

Salsa is a well-known musical genre and part of our cultural identity. Its origins date back to the 30s of the last century and it has grown in popularity since its origins. Ever since, by different artists in different regions of the world have modified the genre, through different visions of what salsa is, experimenting and adding new instruments and technology. Thus, salsa becomes an intrinsically complex and difficult genre in qualitative terms. However, little we know at a computational level, about which are the acoustic characteristics defining this music, to make it different from the rest of musical genres. In this paper we show the results of a process that builds a knowledge base of salsa music freely available to the scientific community. This base gathers acoustic information of over 20.000 salsa songs. We pretend to use this information to model different characteristics of the genre by means of AI techniques. In addition to making information accessible to researchers interested in salsa music, another important contribution of this project is to provide tools to enlarge the knowledge base with the help of the scientific community. To achieve this, we developed a software that extracts the pertinent acoustic information from songs belonging to users and then it includes them into the knowledge base.Un género musical muy conocido en nuestra región y que hace parte de nuestra identidad cultural caleña es la salsa.

Esto hace que la salsa sea un género intrínsecamente complejo y difícil de definir en términos cualitativos. A pesar de la creciente popularidad del género en el mundo, la salsa no ha sido analizada desde el punto de vista computacional para derivar cuáles son los componentes acústicos que la definen y diferencian de los demás géneros musicales.

Salsa dataset: primera base de conocimiento de música salsa

A well-known musical genre in our region and that is part of our cultural identity Caleña is salsa. Its origin dates back to the 30s of the last century and since then this genre has been modified by different artists in different regions of the world, each with a different vision of it, with cultural experiences and with the contribution of new instruments and new technology. This makes salsa an intrinsically complex genre and difficult to define in qualitative terms. Despite the growing popularity of the genre in the world, salsa has not been analyzed from the computational point of view to derive what are the acoustic components that define and differentiate it from other musical genres. In this document we will discuss the results of the process of creating a knowledge base of salsa music that is freely available to the scientific community and that collects the acoustic information of more than 20,000 songs of that musical genre. With this information, which characterizes the acoustic signal, it is intended to model different characteristics of the genre through artificial intelligence techniques. In addition to making this information accessible to researchers interested in salsa music, another important contribution of this project is to provide tools for the knowledge base to grow with the help of the scientific community. For this, a software was developed that extracts the pertinent acoustic information of songs that users have to be sent and added to the knowledge base.Un género musical muy conocido en nuestra región y que hace parte de nuestra identidad cultural caleña es la salsa.

Quality of Life and Autonomy in Patients with Intermittent Bladder Catheterization Trained by Specialized Nurses

Intermittent bladder catheterization (IBC) involves regular urine draining using a catheter, which is removed immediately after urinary elimination. It allows for the patient's urological health to be managed and their renal function to be preserved, and it promotes autonomy. Compliance with the prescribed number of daily catheterizations, which must be conducted by the patient, and infection prevention measures are crucial. To identify the patients requiring IBC, and to determine their adherence (whether they followed the prescribed guidelines and their difficulty in carrying out the procedure, as well as to assess how the IBC influences their quality of life and state of mind after receiving self-care training from a specialized nurse), we carried out a prospective, multicenter observational study in 24 Spanish hospitals with one month of monitoring and a sample of 99 patients. The sources of information were the patients' clinical records, the King's Health Questionnaire, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). Descriptive and bivariate statistics were used to analyses the paired data. After recruitment (n = 99), 79 patients completed the questionnaire at a mean age of 35.2 years (SD = 20.5 years). In total, 53.5% (53) of the sample consisted of men and 32.3% (32) had neurological damage as the reason for prescription; 67% (67.7) performed self-catheterization and 86.7% adhered to the IBC. After one month of monitoring, a statistically significant improvement in quality of life was observed in all criteria, with the exception of personal relationships (p < 0.005), as well as an improvement in anxiety and depression levels (p < 0.001). Patients who require IBC show good adherence to the IBC with a significant percentage of self-catheterization. After one month of IBC, a significant improvement in the patients' quality of life and mood was observed. These results could be attributed to adequate patient training and adequate personalization of the IBC materials by the specialized nurses

Evolution of Quality of Life and Treatment Adherence after One Year of Intermittent Bladder Catheterisation in Functional Urology Unit Patients

Objective: To determine patient difficulties and concerns when performing IBC (Intermittent Bladder Catheterisation), as well as the evolution of adherence, quality of life, and emotional state of patients one year after starting IBC. Method: A prospective, observational, multicentre study conducted in 20 Spanish hospitals with a one-year follow-up. Data sources were patient records and the King's Health Questionnaire on quality of life, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Perceived adherence was measured using the ICAS (Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale) and perceived difficulties with IBC were assessed using the ICDQ (Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire). For data analysis, descriptive and bivariate statistics were performed for paired data at three points in time (T1: one month, T2: three months, T3: one year). Results: A total of 134 subjects initially participated in the study (T0), becoming 104 subjects at T1, 91 at T2, and 88 at T3, with a mean age of 39 years (standard deviation = 22.16 years). Actual IBC adherence ranged from 84.8% at T1 to 84.1% at T3. After one year of follow-up, a statistically significant improvement in quality of life (p <= 0.05) was observed in all dimensions with the exception of personal relationships. However, there were no changes in the levels of anxiety (p = 0.190) or depression (p = 0.682) at T3 compared to T0. Conclusions: Patients requiring IBC exhibit good treatment adherence, with a significant proportion of them performing self-catheterisation. After one year of IBC, a significant improvement in quality of life was noted, albeit with a significant impact on their daily lives and their personal and social relationships. Patient support programmes could be implemented to improve their ability to cope with difficulties and thus enhance both their quality of life and the maintenance of their adherence

Best practices for energy-thrifty evolutionary algorithms in the low-level language zig

The most fruitful way of making evolutionary algorithms spend the least amount of energy is to consider all possible program- ming techniques and platform choices that could, theoretically, affect performance, and carry out experiments using EA workloads in different platforms, eventually choosing those techniques that yield the minimum amount of energy expenses. These techniques include a choice of differ- ent data structures, as well as affecting compilation in such a way that energy footprint is reduced; they have to be replicated in different com- puting platforms because these expenditures may be affected by all the layers of the operating system and runtime framework used. In this paper we will experiment with different data structures and code refactoring techniques in the low-level language zig, trying to design rules of thumb that will help developers create green evolutionary algorithms. We will include two different hardware platforms, looking for the one that spends the least energy.Ministerio de Economía y competitividad, PID2020-115570GB-C22 (DemocratAI::UGR

Down syndrome as risk factor for respiratory syncytial virus hospitalization : A prospective multicenter epidemiological study

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in childhood, particularly in premature infants, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. To compare the hospitalization rates due to RSV infection and severity of disease between infants with and without Down syndrome (DS) born at term and without other associated risk factors for severe RSV infection. In a prospective multicentre epidemiological study, 93 infants were included in the DS cohort and 68 matched by sex and data of birth (±1 week) and were followed up to 1 year of age and during a complete RSV season. The hospitalization rate for all acute respiratory infection was significantly higher in the DS cohort than in the non-DS cohort (44.1% vs 7.7%, P<.0001). Hospitalizations due to RSV were significantly more frequent in the DH cohort than in the non-DS cohort (9.7% vs 1.5%, P=.03). RSV prophylaxis was recorded in 33 (35.5%) infants with DS. The rate of hospitalization according to presence or absence of RSV immunoprophylaxis was 3.0% vs 15%, respectively. Infants with DS showed a higher rate of hospitalization due to acute lower respiratory tract infection and RSV infection compared to non-DS infants. Including DS infants in recommendations for immunoprophylaxis of RSV disease should be considered
