The Applications of Artificial Intelligence for Assessing Fall Risk: Systematic Review

[EN] Background: Falls and their consequences are a serious public health problem worldwide. Each year, 37.3 million falls requiring medical attention occur. Therefore, the analysis of fall risk is of great importance for prevention. Artificial intelligence (AI) represents an innovative tool for creating predictive statistical models of fall risk through data analysis. Objective: The aim of this review was to analyze the available evidence on the applications of AI in the analysis of data related to postural control and fall risk. Methods: A literature search was conducted in 6 databases with the following inclusion criteria: the articles had to be published within the last 5 years (from 2018 to 2024), they had to apply some method of AI, AI analyses had to be applied to data from samples consisting of humans, and the analyzed sample had to consist of individuals with independent walking with or without the assistance of external orthopedic devices. Results: We obtained a total of 3858 articles, of which 22 were finally selected. Data extraction for subsequent analysis varied in the different studies: 82% (18/22) of them extracted data through tests or functional assessments, and the remaining 18% (4/22) of them extracted through existing medical records. Different AI techniques were used throughout the articles. All the research included in the review obtained accuracy values of >70% in the predictive models obtained through AI. Conclusions: The use of AI proves to be a valuable tool for creating predictive models of fall risk. The use of this tool could have a significant socioeconomic impact as it enables the development of low-cost predictive models with a high level of accuracy.S

Do Stakeholders Modulate Philanthropic Strategy? Corporate Philanthropy as Stakeholders’ Engagement

Corporate philanthropy, as an expression of commitment to the common good, can contribute to the creation of social value in companies. This corporate philanthropy can be managed in various ways. The choice of how to channel corporate philanthropy could be, in accordance with stakeholder theory, the result of companies’ interactions with key stakeholders and, in accordance with the theory of signaling, a signal that companies use to respond to their demands. This approach contributes to the literature on bottom-up initiatives (stakeholder–managers) as opposed to top-down strategies (board–stakeholders) in relation to corporate social responsibility, which is becoming increasingly important in a society where networks of communication, cooperation and interaction are established. To this end, a study was conducted on 221 European companies indexed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices in the year 2018. The findings have several practical implications: The management of corporate philanthropy should take into account the stakeholders’ requirements, and stakeholders show greater affinity and trust with the company when philanthropy is channeled through foundations. By contrast, donations are not associated with stakeholder attitudes. As a theoretical implication, this paper supports the theories of stakeholders and signaling by explaining the role of philanthropy in the relationship with stakeholders.RD PROJECTSEuropean Union (EU) B1-SEJ-387-UGR1

Does the Use of Social Media Tools in Classrooms Increase Student Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility?

This research was funded by R&D Projects. European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Andalusia 2014–2020 Operational Program, grant number B1-SEJ-387-UGR18.There is an increasing demand for ethical and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices by companies. This competence has to be introduced in students’ training in business degree programs, and a check must then be done to determine if the students have come to appreciate the importance of CSR commitments. Using the framework of Stakeholders Theory, this work aims to examine students’ perceptions of ethical and CSR practices and commitment to different stakeholders, as well as the factors that lead students to act in a socially responsible way. Furthermore, we hope to identify how the perception of CSR can be improved when Web 2.0 and social media tools that have proven effective in transmitting emotions and values are used in classrooms to teach these ideas. To this end, a survey was carried out in the year 2019 with 1,030 first-year students; it was administered at the beginning of the semester and also at the end of the semester after the training activities had been carried out. The main finding of the research is that students start with the belief that ethics and CSR are developed for reasons of image and legitimacy; however, after receiving training on these topics through tools that take into account emotions and values, they start to value the importance of the company as an agent of social change. The main practical and managerial implication is that methods based on Web 2.0 and social media tools are useful to teach ethics and CSR; the theoretical contribution is that students take into account the welfare of others. This finding contributes to Stakeholder Theory in a higher education context.RD ProjectsEuropean Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Andalusia 2014-2020 Operational Program B1-SEJ-387-UGR1

Increasing the commitment of students toward corporate social responsibility through higher education instruction

This research was funded by R&D Projects. European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) Andalusia 2014–2020 Operational Program, grant number B1-SEJ-387-UGR18.The corporate social responsibility strategies that companies will incorporate depend on the commitments and decisions that future generations will make. Under the Principles for Responsible Management Education framework, universities must foster skills that will influence the ethical behaviours and decisions of their students so that they can respond to the new needs of business. In the business world, ethical commitment is articulated through corporate social responsibility (CSR); therefore, it is of interest to know the extent to which a university’s ethical instruction is received by students and the factors that influence it, as well as the extent to which they are associated with their orientation toward CSR. This study analyses the impact of university instruction in business ethics on students’ economic and social visions and the effect they have on their orientation toward CSR. Based on the answers to a questionnaire from a sample of 151 students, the relationship between ethical instruction and CSR orientation and the factors that reinforce this relationship are analysed using structural equations. The results show that the instruction given, family education (values) and social vision are positively associated with the students’ orientation toward CSR, while economic vision, which is traditionally transmitted through the subjects of the degree, is negatively associated.European Regional Development Fund B1-SEJ-387-UGR1

Commercial circuits of organic milk in seven spanish regions

A major concern for organic dairy farms is to develop specific commercial circuits who guarantee the flow of organic products to the consumers. Therefore, the commercial circuits for organic milk are analysed. Actually, 11.5 millon litres of organic milk are produced in Spain, of which 5% are commercialised by conventional milk. The rest is commercialised as an organic circuit with two differentiated channels. Firstly, the long channel that absorbed 70% of organic milk and displays a conventional structure. The average price perceived by litre of organic milk rise to 0.44 euros. Secondly, the short channel that receives 26% of production. The prices in this channel rise to an average of 1,66 euros/l.Un aspecto de suma importancia para la producción ecológica es el desarrollo de circuitos comerciales que garanticen el flujo de productos ecológicos a los consumidores. En el presente trabajo se analizan los canales comerciales de leche ecológica de vaca. Actualmente la producción de leche ecológica en España se estima en 11,5 millones de litros, de los que el 5% se comercializa como leche convencional. El 95% restante sigue un circuito ecológico con dos canales bien diferenciados. En primer lugar, un 70% de la leche ecológica se comercializa a través del canal largo, que presenta una estructura convencional. El precio medio percibido asciende a 0,44 euros por litro de leche ecológica, lo que supone un incremento del 30% respecto al precio de la leche convencional. En segundo lugar, el circuito corto, que absorbe el 26% de la leche ecológica e incrementa el precio percibido hasta 1,66 euros/l, que además repercute en la renta final del ganadero

Evaluación de la sustentabilidad en agroecosistemas

Sustainability needs to be assessed by means of ordinal scales, allowing their categorization. Indicators and indexes have emerged as the basis for sustainability assessment methodologies; they have had to meet certain requirements to be useful. Among these requirements, the integration of the three dimensions of sustainability (economic, social and environmental) is essential. The evaluation is based on the use of indicators that describe a feature of the state of a system, generally through observed or estimated data, and indexes that consist of a quantitative aggregation of indicators. The indicators are generated from analysis of processes that uses environmental resources to produce results and they can be environmental or sustainability (when the factors of time, limits and objectives are considered). Indexes such as the Ecological Footprint, Human Development Index, Gross Domestic Product, among others give an idea on the extent of global inequality and the overuse of resources by the economies of some countries, but also with application to productive sectors, such as stockbreeding. A large number of indicators in agroecosystems have been defined depending on the system under study, most focusing on economic returns or productivity of the farm. Both regression equations and simulation models have been used to estimate indicators, due to the difficulty of obtaining direct measures or for the purpose of discovering the futures effects of action taken today.La sustentabilidad requiere ser valorada con el propósito final de implementar técnicas o tecnologías que mejoren o minimicen el impacto ambiental, para ello deben emplearse escalas de medición ordinales, que permitan su categorización. Indicadores e índices surgen como la base de las metodologías de evaluación de sustentabilidad, debiendo cumplir una serie de requisitos para ser de utilidad. Entre estos requisitos, la integración de las tres dimensiones de la sustentabilidad (económica, social y ambiental) es básica. La evaluación se sustenta en el empleo de indicadores que describen una característica del estado de un sistema, generalmente a través de datos observados o estimados, e índices que consisten en una agregación cuantitativa de indicadores. Los indicadores se generan del análisis de los procesos que utilizan recursos ambientales para producir resultados y pueden ser medioambientales o de sustentabilidad (cuando se tienen en cuenta los factores de tiempo, límites y objetivos) Índices como la Huella Ecológica, el Índice de Desarrollo Humano, el Producto Interno Bruto, entre otros informan tanto del grado de inequidad global como de la sobreutilización de recursos por parte de las economías de algunos países, Pero también con aplicación a sectores productivos, como por ejemplo a la ganadería.En agroecosistemas se ha definido un gran número de indicadores dependientes del sistema en estudio, la mayor parte centrados en la productividad o los retornos económicos de la explotación. Tanto ecuaciones de regresión como modelos de simulación han sido utilizados para la estimación de indicadores, debido a la dificultad de obtención de medidas directas o con el propósito de descubrir qué efectos tendrá en el futuro una medida adoptada hoy
