Business Process Configuration According to Data Dependency Specification

Configuration techniques have been used in several fields, such as the design of business process models. Sometimes these models depend on the data dependencies, being easier to describe what has to be done instead of how. Configuration models enable to use a declarative representation of business processes, deciding the most appropriate work-flow in each case. Unfortunately, data dependencies among the activities and how they can affect the correct execution of the process, has been overlooked in the declarative specifications and configurable systems found in the literature. In order to find the best process configuration for optimizing the execution time of processes according to data dependencies, we propose the use of Constraint Programming paradigm with the aim of obtaining an adaptable imperative model in function of the data dependencies of the activities described declarative.Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología TIN2015-63502-C3-2-RFondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regiona

Browser Web Storage Vulnerability Investigation: HTML5 localStorage Object

Along with the introduction of HTML5 a new data storage technique, Web Storage, has been added to browsers. This technique stores larger amounts of data for an extended period of time on a client system. This technology does not (as of this writing) have a fully implemented interface to support end user control. The authors interest is modeling the use of Web Storage to store illicit data. The authors built a web application that would take a file, encrypt it, split it into multiple parts and distribute it to as many clients as possible. At a later time, the system could then watch for return visits and retrieve data parts as clients interact with a host website. The recidivism rate of clients returning to the host website and the number of copies of each distributed part needed to achieve a reliable recovery rate of the entire file are under study

Is Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide the New Methotrexate?

Introducing post-transplant, cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis in the setting of haploidentical donor transplantation has marked the most important advance in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) within the past 15 years. The efficacy of this procedure and its simple features have allowed for the significantly widespread application of alloHCT worldwide. Indeed, the procedure's effectiveness in reducing immunological complications in the haploidentical setting has even challenged the status quo use of calcineurin-inhibitor, methotrexate-based GVHD prophylaxis in the setting of HLA-identical donors. Currently, however, prospective clinical trials in support of PT-Cy-based GVHD prophylaxis in the HLA-matched setting are striving to resolve the matter of its potential role. This review will briefly report the overall outcomes of PT-Cy-based GVHD prophylaxis in the haploidentical setting and summarize results obtained in the HLA-identical field. We will present future perspectives at the end of the manuscript

When “God and country demand it”: body, nation and performativity in the queer (im)possibility of Argentine “folklore”

En los últimos años, nuestras músicas y danzas populares se vieron interpeladas respecto de su prescripción a ciertos roles danzarios correspondientes con identidades de sexo y género, que comenzaron a resultar “estrechas” frente a las lógicas (queer) habilitadas por el feminismo contemporáneo y la decantación de los axiomas modernos. De manera particular, en este proceso, las músicas “folklóricas” que son producto de las modernidades latinoamericanas, y que por lo tanto arrastran con los valores que emanan de la heteronormatividad y la moralidad cristiana, parecieran mantenerse reticentes a estas “innovaciones”. En tanto pilares constitutivos de la imaginería gauchesca y criollista, estas formaciones nacionales encarnadas en el “folklore” argentino, auguran la (im)posibilidad queer de este complejo performático-genérico cuando dejan en los márgenes de la performance (o directamente excluidas de la misma) a las nuevas inscripciones sexo-genéricas y/o prácticas que apuntan a deshacer el género. (Re)inscriptas en la danza por medio de la subversión coreográfica, estas nuevas inscripciones queer parecieran atentar contra el núcleo duro de la música “nacional”, ya sea destituyendo modelos de femineidad y masculinidad socialmente aceptados (y otrora en correspondencia con “dios y la patria”), para acompañar nuevos procesos de subjetivación política y creación colectiva post-bicentenarios. Partiendo de observaciones participantes, entrevistas, y también del material mediático que es producido por mujeres músicas dedicadas al “folklore” y la participación radical como músico, es que en el presente trabajo me sirvo entonces del bagaje desarrollado por la antropología del cuerpo y la performance para analizar estos nuevos bordes del sexo y el género que en otros circuitos de la música se ven habilitados, y que para el circuito “tradicional” de festivales de “folklore argentino” resultan improbables en tanto éste se yergue en dichos espacios como emblema principal del mito fundacional “gauchesco” que ha sido propio de la nación moderna.In recent years, our popular music and dances have been challenged with respect to their prescription of certain dance roles corresponding to sex and gender identities that began to become "narrow" in the face of the (queer) logics enabled by contemporary feminism and the decanting of modern axioms. Particularly, in this process, the "folk" musics that are the product of Latin American modernities, and therefore carry with them the values emanating from heteronormativity and Christian morality, seem to remain reticent to these "innovations". As constitutive pillars of gaucho and criollo imagery, these national formations embodied in Argentine "folklore", augur the queer (im)possibility of this performative-gender complex when they leave on the margins of performance (or directly excluded from it) the new sex-gender inscriptions and/or practices that aim at undoing gender. (Re)inscribed in dance through choreographic subversion, these new queer inscriptions seem to attack the hard core of "national" music, either by dismissing socially accepted models of femininity and masculinity (once in correspondence with "god and country"), or by accompanying new processes of political subjectivation and post-bicentennial collective creation. Based on participant observations, interviews, and also on media material produced by women musicians dedicated to "folklore" and radical participation as musicians, is that in the present work I make use of the baggage developed by the anthropology of the body and performance to analyze these new borders of sex and gender that in other circuits of music are enabled and that for the "traditional" circuit of festivals of "Argentine folklore" are improbable as it stands in these spaces as the main emblem of the "gaucho" foundational myth that has been typical of the modern nation.Facultad de Arte

Small Arms Artifacts from the Battle of Plattsburgh Bay

On September 11, 1814, Captain George Downie of the British Royal Navy sailed a squadron of four ships and a dozen gunboats around Cumberland Head, on the New York shore of Lake Champlain, where Captain Thomas Macdonough of the United States Navy waited to engage him with a comparable naval force. Macdonough won the battle, capturing the four Royal Navy ships and forcing nearby British Army forces to retreat back to Canada. After the victory, the captured British ships were temporarily positioned at Crab Island at the southern end of Plattsburgh Bay to be repaired before their removal to Whitehall, New York. Cleanup of the ships began in transit between the battle site and Crab Island, with debris and damaged equipment being thrown overboard. This jettisoned material remained on the lake bottom for the next century and a half. In the late 1950’s, a man named William ‘Bill’ Leege taught himself to dive with early scuba equipment and began to search Lake Champlain for the battlefield of Plattsburgh Bay. Leege spent the next three decades recovering artifacts from the lake bottom, all the while carefully documenting and retaining artifacts of significance. The artifacts recovered by Bill Leege and his colleagues in the Lake Champlain Archaeological Association (LCAA) were later donated to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum in Vergennes, Vermont, where many of the artifacts were conserved and are currently housed. The majority of small arms artifacts from Plattsburgh Bay and the surrounding area have never been displayed by the Museum, nor have they been analyzed and published in their entirety in any publicly available catalogue. This thesis on the small arms artifacts in the LCAA collection at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum will provide a greater depth of understanding of the reality of naval life and naval warfare on the lake during the War of 1812. It will allow for the comparative study of this collection of arms with other weaponry-related finds from the war and from the period. Historical research on the provenance of these small arms will give a deeper understanding of the nature of trade in small arms, and the accessories necessary for their maintenance and use, at the beginning of the 19th century

Elementos conceptuales, metodológicos y operativos para el diseño y operación del modelo de gestión del conocimiento en una organización

Las organizaciones son conscientes cada vez más de la importancia de definir herramientas para transformar, transmitir, aplicar y conservar el conocimiento con el fin de lograr ser sostenibles en el tiempo y generar ventajas competitivas a través del aprendizaje organizacional. Sin embargo, se les ha dificultado la implementación de un modelo de Gestión del Conocimiento ya que en la bibliografía se encuentran gran cantidad de autores y diversos modelos. Es por esto que en este trabajo se pretende plantear una metodología de aplicación de Gestión del Conocimiento, a través de la revisión y análisis de los diferentes modelos propuestos, con el fin de facilitar a las organizaciones la implementación de la misma. El desarrollo de esta investigación es de carácter descriptivo, parte de la recopilación de información primaria y secundaria en bibliotecas e Internet sobre el tema de estudio que permitirá posteriormente realizar la revisión, comparación y análisis de las diferentes teorías y conceptos desarrollados por algunos autores que plantean diversos puntos de vista. En una primera fase se hace la recopilación de antecedentes, evolución histórica, conceptos y modelos de gestión del conocimiento en el ámbito nacional e internacional. En la segunda fase se presenta una propuesta de modelo de implementación de Gestión del Conocimiento y las herramientas que componen cada etapa. Y una tercera fase donde se proponen unas recomendaciones para la aplicación de Gestión del Conocimiento en un área específica de una empresa del sector financiero.Organizations are increasingly aware of the importance of defining tools to transform, transmit, apply and retain knowledge in order to achieve sustainability in long term and build competitive advantage through organizational learning. However, companies will have difficulty implementing a knowledge management model because in books and other references appear a large number of authors and different models. That's why through this study proposes a methodology for applying knowledge management through of review and analysis of the various models proposed, in order to facilitate organizations to implement the model. The development of this research is descriptive, begins with the collection of primary and secondary information in libraries and the Internet on the topic of study, and subsequently performs the review, comparison and analysis of different theories and concepts developed by some authors that suggest various points of view. The first phase is the collection of background, historical development, concepts and models of knowledge management in the national and international level. In the second phase presents a proposed model for implementing knowledge management and the tools that make up each stage. And a third phase where some recommendations are proposed for the implementation of knowledge management in a specific area of a company in the financial sector

A theory of the transmedia franchise character

In contemporary media landscapes characterised by technological, industrial, and cultural convergence, transmedia fictional practice, that is, the generation of multiple texts, products and experiences across multiple media outlets cohered by a common narrative reality, cast of characters, or entertainment brand, is in the ascendancy. This thesis begins from the observation that although transmedia practice is coterminously beginning to receive more and more critical attention, there remains much work to be done theorising the “total entertainment” experiences (Grainge, 2008: 11) it produces in fictional terms. It identifies a particular need for further critical investigation of how transmedia fictional practice interacts with the design, development, and representation of character. It takes as its fundamental starting principle the assumption that transmediality can be defined and operationalised as a particular modality of fiction, producing particular orientations and operations of meaning and representation, and that the trans-textual, trans-medial extension of a fiction can be identified and delineated as a fictional practice. In dialogue with existing critical work organised by the concept of transmedia storytelling, and industrial discourses and practices of cross-platform production, I conceptualise and define the object of study of this thesis as the practice of transmedia franchising, of which transmedia storytelling is positioned as a sub-genre. The thesis comprises an original theory of the transmedia franchise character as a fictional object, situated in a poetics of transmedia franchising as a fictional practice. It proposes conceptual tools, theoretical frameworks, and critical positions for understanding and analysing the processes of meaning and representation that build up a picture of a character as it is franchised across texts and media, and how they are shaped and influenced by key contextual factors. The six chapters map six core features of the transmedia franchise character as a fictional object, each then providing a granular elaboration of some of the formal, operational, functional, and critical implications of these features. Chapter One engages the problem of the instability of “the text” as critical concept and material artefact relative to transmedia franchise fiction; Chapter Two theorises the franchise character as extensible, designed to anticipate, sustain and generate serial development and representation across multiple texts; Chapter Three presents transmedia franchising as an art of multiplicity, and explores how it builds up a picture of character through setting in play dialogues between rewrites, reimaginings, and alternate versions; Chapter Four focuses on the multimediality of the franchise character specifically; Chapter Five discusses how paratextual material interpolates into and contributes to the actualisation of the franchise character; and Chapter Six explores the franchise character as site and technology of participation, interactivity, and immersion in the franchise world
