Algunos macromicetes de la flora Navarra

Se ha estudiado la flora fúngica de cinco estaciones de Navarra Septentrional. Se han reconocido 158 especies en total. En cada estación se ha comparado su número total de especies con el número de especies que aparecen solamente en ella.Las proporciones indican que: El ambiente más específico es la turbera; los más semejantes son los bosques caducifolios; el medio más pobre es la replantación de alerces; y los que poseen una flora fúngica propia más rica son los pinares y el matorral mediterráneo.We have studied the fungal flora of five stations of Navarra Septentrional. We have recognised 158 taxa. In every station we have confronted the total number ofdifferent taxa with the number of species founded only in this station. So, the proportions show that: The more specific habitat is the moor; the more similar are the caducifolins woods; and the most rich habitats in special fungal flora are the pine woods and the mediterranean thickets

Process Instance Query Language to Include Process Performance Indicators in DMN

Companies are increasingly incorporating commercial Business Process Management Systems (BPMSs) as mechanisms to automate their daily procedures. These BPMSs manage the information related to the instances that flow through the model (business data), and recover the information concerning the process performance (Process Performance Indicators). Process Performance Indicators (PPIs) tend to be used for the detection of possible deviations of expected behaviour, and help in the post-mortem analysis and redesign by improving the goals of the processes. However, not only are PPIs important in terms of their ability to measure and detect a derivation, but they should also be included at decision points to make the business processes more adaptable to the process reality at runtime. In this paper, we propose a complete solution that allows the incorporation of the PPIs into decision tasks, following the Decision Model and Notation (DMN) standard, with the aim of enriching the decisions that can be taken during the process execution. Our proposal firstly includes an extension of the decision rule grammar of the DMN standard, by incorporating the definition and the use of a Process Instance Query Language (PIQL) that offers information about the instances related to the PPIs involved. In order to achieve this objective, a framework has also been developed to support the enrichment of process instance query expressions (PIQEs). This framework combines a set of mature technologies to evaluate the decisions about PPIs at runtime. As an illustration a real sample has been used whose decisions are improved thanks to the incorporation of the PPIs at runtime.Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología TIN2015-63502-C3-2-

Promoting the Sustainability of Organizations: Contribution of Transformational Leadership to Job Engagement

The psychology of sustainability highlights the importance of building organizational environments promoting the employees’ well-being, and leaders play an important role in it. Drawing from Kahn’s theory, the purpose of this study is to simultaneously examine the mediating role of task significance, perceived organizational support (POS) and employees’ core self-evaluations (CSE) in the relationship between supervisors’ transformational leadership and job engagement. In order to test the proposed model, a structural equation modelling was performed using the bootstrapping technique in IBM SPSS Amos 23 for Windows. The sample consisted of 320 employees from emergent high-tech and knowledge-based SMEs in Spain. The results supported all the hypotheses posited. By helping employees to find the meaning and significance of their work, making them feel supported by the organization and strengthening their sense of worth and competence, transformational leaders boost job engagement, a key aspect of the human dimension of organizational sustainability. This paper contributes to the psychology of sustainability by advancing knowledge of the mechanisms through which supervisors’ transformational leadership influences employees’ well-being in terms of job engagementS

Decision-making support for input data in business processes according to former instances

Business Processes facilitate the execution of a set of activities to achieve the strategic plans of a company. During the execution of a business process model, several decisions can be made that frequently involve the values of the input data of certain activities. The decision regarding the value of these input data concerns not only the correct execution of the business process in terms of consistency, but also the compliance with the strategic plans of the company. Smart decision-support systems provide information by analyzing the process model and the business rules to be satisfied, but other elements, such as the previous temporal variation of the data during the former executed instances of similar processes, can also be employed to guide the input data decisions at instantiation time. Our proposal consists of learning the evolution patterns of the temporal variation of the data values in a process model extracted from previous process instances by applying Constraint Programming techniques. The knowledge obtained is applied in a Decision Support System (DSS) which helps in the maintenance of the alignment of the process execution with the organizational strategic plans, through a framework and a methodology. Finally, to present a proof of concept, the proposal has been applied to a complete case study.Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología RTI2018-094283-B-C3

An Architecture for Querying Business Process, Business Process Instances, and Business Data Models

Business data are usually managed by means of business processes during process instances. These viewpoints (business, instances and data) are strongly related because the life-cycle of business data objects need to be aligned with the business process and process instance models. However, current approaches do not provide a mechanism to integrate these three viewpoints nor to query them all together while maintaining the information in the distributed, heterogeneous systems where they have been created. In this paper, we propose the integration of the business process, business process instance, and business data models by using their metamodels and also an architecture to support this integration. The goal of this integration is to make the most of the three models and the technologies that support them in an isolated way. In our approach, it is not necessary to change the source data formats nor transforming them into a common one. Furthermore, the proposed architecture allows us to query the three models even though they come from three different technologies.Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología TIN2015-63502-C3-2-RMinisterio de Ciencia y Tecnología TIN2013-40848-RMinisterio de Ciencia y Tecnología TIN2016-75394-

La aplicación de materiales multimedia en la enseñanza de conceptos constructivos

La llegada de las nuevas Tecnologías al aprendizaje y a la docencia universitaria, se está produciendo con grandes desfases entre las diversas asignaturas e incluso titulaciones de nuestras universidades. Presentamos nuestras experiencias y la investigación desarrollada en la asignatura de Introducción a la Construcción, correspondiente al primer curso de los estudios de Arquitectura Superior en la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. Durante los últimos dos cursos 2002/03 y 2003/04 hemos aplicado distintos medios audiovisuales para la elaboración de materiales multimedia. Estos materiales, confeccionados con la ayuda de diversos programas informáticos, han demostrado ser de gran ayuda para acelerar el proceso de aprendizaje de los nuevos contenidos planteados a los alumnos de reciente ingreso. Por un lado, los conceptos teóricos se han podido captar rápidamente de una manera visual, mediante gráficos, dibujos, fotografías y animaciones o videos reales. Por otra parte, han servido como apoyo a las prácticas realizadas semanalmente, de manera tutorizada, que siguen el “método del descubrimiento” a partir de las explicaciones genéricas de teoría. La costosa elaboración de estos materiales ha sido recompensada sobradamente por la buena acogida y resultados obtenidos por ls alumnos. Consideramos que esta metodología ha producido una satisfactoria asimilación de los conocimientos, quedando reconocido por los propios alumnos como por profesores de otras asignaturas. Esto nos anima y nos lleva a procurar su difusión pues consideramos estos medios como elemento indispensable para estrategias de mejora del aprendizaje.The arrival of new technologies applied to the learning and university teaching, has become with large differences among the diverse subjects and even qualifications in our Universities. We present our experiences and investigation developed in the Introduction to the Construction subject, corresponding to the first course studies of Architecture in the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. During the last two courses, 2002/03 and 2003/04, we have applied different audiovisual media for the elaboration of multimedia materials. These materials, concocted with the aid of diverse data processing programs, have shown to be of great aid to accelerate the new contents learning process presented to the recent income students. On the one hand, the theoretical concepts have been able to be acquire quickly in a visual way, by using graphic, drawings, photographs and animations or real videos. On the other hand, have served as support to the practices carried out weekly, with tutoring instruction, that follow the “discovery method ” from the generic theory explanations. The hard work in these materials elaboration has been fully rewarded with the academic results obtained by the students. We believe this methodology has produced a satisfactory knowledge comprehension, recognized by the students as well as other subjects teachers. This encourages and carries us to seek its diffusion, because we consider these media are indispensable elements in learning improvement strategies
