Big data opportunity and privacy of patient data

The use of massive data in medicine through Big Data is favouring the diagnosis and treatment of diseases (Agarwal, Adhil, and Talukder 2015; He, Ge, He, 2017; Tan, Gao, Koch, 2015). In parallel, this process has begun to be regulated based on new rights of protection of citizens' data, considering the challenging problems of privacy and security of big data (Ristevski, & Chen, 2018). These circumstances modify the role of each of the components of the care relationship that is generated between the doctor and the patient and his family. This situation empowers the patient as a data holder or information protagonist. The analysis of the data can help to change the diagnosis or treatment of the disease and therefore its use is considered necessary in order to change the trajectory and treatment of the diseases. In this direction, a relationship of trust, privacy and security between patients and professionals and / or health centers must be built. This transmission of information must be private and protected from cyber- attacks as well as data theft, etc. Big Data allows to analyze a large volume of varied data, at high speed generating new values based on the data used (Morente, 2019), which is a great advance. This computer tool is capable of performing analysis processes in record time unlike the time spent with other methodologies. This activity must be carried out from the reflection based on a technological ethic that respects the privacy of the person. The hand of the man who intervenes in this process must decide between what is technically possible and what proceeds ethically according to the limits set by the different laws on privacy, security and confidentiality.Depto. de Trabajo Social y Servicios SocialesFac. de Trabajo SocialTRUEpu

Munuera acknowledges financial support from the “Ramón y Cajal” program RYC-2014-16626.Two polymorphic phases of ω-(4′-methylbiphenyl-4-yl) butane-1-thiol (BP4) molecules formed on Au(111) were investigated by multidimensional atomic force microscopy, combining conductivity measurements, electrostatic characterization, friction force mapping, and normal force spectroscopy. Based on the same molecular structure but differing in molecular order, packing density, and molecular tilt, the two phases serve as a test bench to establish the structure–property relationships in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). From a detailed analysis of the charge transport and electrostatics, the contributions of geometrical and electronic effects to the tunneling are discussed.PostprintPeer reviewe

Optical-based thickness measurement of MoO3 nanosheets

Considering that two-dimensional (2D) molybdenum trioxide has acquired more attention in the last few years, it is relevant to speed up thickness identification of this material. We provide two fast and non-destructive methods to evaluate the thickness of MoO3 flakes on SiO2/Si substrates. First, by means of quantitative analysis of the apparent color of the flakes in optical microscopy images, one can make a first approximation of the thickness with an uncertainty of +-3 nm. The second method is based on the fit of optical contrast spectra, acquired with micro-reflectance measurements, to a Fresnel law-based model that provides an accurate measurement of the flake thickness with +-2 nm of uncertainty.Comment: 5 Figure

In-Plane Anisotropic Optical and Mechanical Properties of Two-Dimensional MoO3

Molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) in-plane anisotropy has increasingly attracted the attention of the scientific community in the last few years. Many of the observed in-plane anisotropic properties stem from the anisotropic refractive index and elastic constants of the material but a comprehensive analysis of these fundamental properties is still lacking. Here we employ Raman and micro-reflectance measurements, using polarized light, to determine the angular dependence of the refractive index of thin MoO3 flakes and we study the directional dependence of the MoO3 Young's modulus using the buckling metrology method. We found that MoO3 displays one of the largest in-plane anisotropic mechanical properties reported for 2D materials so far.This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement n degrees 755655, ERC-StG 2017 project 2D-TOPSENSE), the European Commission, under the Graphene Flagship (Core 3, grant number 881603), the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness through the grant MAT201787134-C2-2-R.

Emprendimiento social. Responsablidad social de la universidad en la inmersión laboral = Social entrepeneurship. Social responsability of the university in respect of labor inmersion

Este trabajo presenta algunas de las buenas prácticas realizadas desde la universidad para intervenir en la realidad social con el fin de incentivar la generación de nuevas experiencias. En la historia existen referentes que vinculan a la universidad como centro de la innovación y progreso de la humanidad. La innovación y la creatividad en los estudiantes promovidas en el sistema universitario español desde la responsabilidad social de la Universidad, pueden potenciar la adquisición de competencias profesionales y facilitar la inmersión laboral de los graduados. La universidad se encuentra en una posición muy aventajada para promover las competencias relacionadas con la innovación y el espíritu empresarial. Estas competencias deben favorecer el emprendimiento social relacionado con el desarrollo social y humano, para la realización de una sociedad más equitativa y participativa desde distintas iniciativas que motiven la participación y la cooperación en esta sociedad desde sus institucione

Psychosocial Influence of Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome in Daily Life of Patients: A Qualitative Study

Ehlers–Danlos syndrome is a heterogeneous group of connective tissue disorders causing pain, fatigue, and disabilities; it has several implications for patients who suffer from this disease. The major clinical manifestations of EDS include joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and generalized conjunctive tissue fragility. This research aims to explore their perceptions and experiences about the phycological and social spheres. (2) Methods: Semistructured interviews were carried out. Participants were encouraged to talk about issues related to their disease by asking open-ended questions in one to one interview. The interview guide included questions to identify the syndrome’s influence on the social and psychological life of patients All interviews were audio recorded, fully transcribed, and analyzed using the phenomenological theoretical framework. The method of analysis was the thematic interpreting of perspectives and approaches. (3) Results: 31 individuals were proposed to participate in this study. Five patients refused to participate, so a total of 26 interviews were performed. Six themes ((1) Pain and its consequences on a daily basis; (2) The need to name the problem: the diagnosis; (3) Restructuring leisure and social relationships; (4) Limitations due to economic conditions; (5) Psychological impact of the disease situation; (6) Professional limitations) and four subthemes ((1) The value of partner support; (2) The weather influence on social plans; (3) Physical exercise and illness; (4) Support groups) emerged from the data. (4) Conclusions: This study revealed the impact of the syndrome on the social and daily life of patients, and not only in a physical level, but also in a psychological and social approach. These findings allow healthcare providers to know more about this disease in order to support and give advice to patients about the changes they will have to make.University of Seville “VI PLAN PROPIO DE INVESTIGACIÓN Y TRANSFERENCIA—US 2018
