Generalización de consultas web para protección de privacidad de usuarios

El trabajo propone estudiar la implementación de un mecanismo para generalizar consultas web que opere en modo local, es decir, que se instale en el lado del usuario. Para ello, se utilizará la herramienta Wordnet como base de conocimiento para la generalización de las consultas web, aunque de una forma reducida para no incurrir en problemas de espacio, almacenamiento o rendimiento en las búsquedas web. Se evaluará, junto a una serie de usuarios voluntarios, el rendimiento de la aplicación, la privacidad que los usuarios perciben, el consumo de CPU memoria y el tiempo de procesamiento, para determinar la viabilidad y funcionalidad de esta.In this project we propose to study the implementation of a tool that aims to generalize web search queries. This tool will operate locally, that is, on the user side. For this, the Wordnet tool will be used as a knowledge base for the generalization of web queries, although in a reduced way so as not to incur space, storage or performance problems in web searches. The performance of the application, the privacy perceived by users, the consumption of CPU memory and the processing time will be evaluated, together with a series of voluntary users, to determine its viability and functionality.El treball proposa estudiar la implementació d'un mecanisme per generalitzar consultes web en mode local, és a dir, que s'instal·li al costat de l'usuari.

A cryptic species of freshwater fishes in Southern Spain is found by way of molecular analysis of the genus Squalius Bonaparte, 1837 (Acanthopterygii, Cyprinidae)

Poster presentado en: 16th Conference Young Systematists’ Forum, At Natural History Museum, London, UK, (2014)The taxonomy of the Spanish freshwater fishes was mainly precluded for the monumental work of Lozano Rey (1935). This work considered the same origin to the Iberian and the rest of European fish fauna. Differences in morphology many times were assigned to small local variations and Spanish populations were attributed taxonomically to subspecies of well recognized central and north European species. This vision of Spanish freshwater fishes has changed because of molecular systematics, which found a high diversity and different origins to this fish fauna. The number of species was increasing since 1980 and an endemic cyprinid, Squalius malacitanus (Doadrio and Carmona, 2006), was currently described. As consequence of a phylogeographical approach to all populations of Squalius malacitanus using nuclear and mitochondrial molecular markers, we found two deep divergent groups. These two groups have higher divergences than other Spanish species of same genus.This study was funded by project CGL2010-15231BOS.Peer reviewe

Effects of Pleistocene marine transgressions on the evolutionary history of the genus Squalius (Actinopterygii, Cyprinidae) in Southern Iberia

Póster presentado en: V Jornadas Ibéricas de Ictiología (SIBIC), At Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência ( Lisboa, Portugal), 2014[EN] To study the effects that these geological and climatic events could have had above populations of freshwater fishes inhabiting Southern Spain during Cenozoic period in Gibraltar Strait region, we carried out a phylogeographical and demographic approach of two species of primary freshwater fishes (Squalius malacitanus and Squalius pyrenaicus) using nuclear and mitochondrial genes as molecular markers. In the phylogenetic study our results showed four well-differenced groups, divided into two main phylogroups, belonging to each studied species and reflecting an allopatric distribution. The two groups found in the species Squalius malacitanus have higher divergences than S. pyrenaicus . Therefore, we conducted a molecular and morphometric study of Atlantic and Mediterranean populations to characterize the two populations from a taxonomic point of view. In both species, Mediterranean populations showed a lower genetic diversity than Atlantic populations and we observed a correlation between area basin and genetic diversity. Moreover, we carried out a study of endemic and endangered species S. malacitanus.[ES] Primary freshwater fishes, whose dispersion is limited mainly to inside river basins, are commonly used with biogeographical purposes. The Gibraltar Strait area is one of the most complex biogeographical regions during the Cenozoic due to tectonical and climatic processes, which must severely affect to populations of organisms inhabiting this area. To study the effects that these geological and climatic events could have had above populations of freshwater fishes inhabiting Southern Spain, we realized a phylogeographical and demographic approach of two species: Squalius malacitanus and Squalius pyrenaicus, using cytochrome b (mtDNA) and RAG-1 (nDNA) as molecular markers. Both S. malacitanus and S. pyrenaicus are primary fish belonging to Cyprinidae family and endemic from the Iberian Peninsula. The species S malacitanus has a more restricted distribution area, is only present in southern Spain, and has been listed as endangered in (lo saqué de Kottelat). We carried out a study of S. malacitanus habitat availability to predict its future distribution and the most important variables to improve its conservation status. Our results showed four well-differenced groups in the phylogenetic study, grouped into two main phylogroups, belonging to each studied species and reflecting an allopatric distribution. The two groups found in the species Squalius malacitanus have higher divergences than S. pyrenaicus and are distributed one by the Atlantic slope of Gibraltar Strait and the other by the Mediterranean ones. In both species, Mediterranean populations showed a lower genetic diversity than Atlantic populations and we observed a correlation between area basin and genetic diversity. Moreover, we conducted a molecular and morphometric study of Atlantic and Mediterranean populations to characterize the two populations since a taxonomic point of view.This study was funded by project CGL2010-15231BOSPeer reviewe

Diseño de medios interpretativos para la Ruta Inguisay – Volcán El Altar en el Parque Nacional Sangay, provincia de Chimborazo

La presente investigación propone: diseñar medios interpretativos para la ruta Inguisay – Volcán El Altar en el Parque Nacional Sangay, provincia de Chimborazo; mediante cuatro etapas: la primera corresponde a la determinación de oportunidades de visita para la ruta, donde se pudo registrar un total de nueve atractivos naturales, siendo el más prominente el volcán El Altar con jerarquía III, también se determinó un índice de potencial turístico a través de una valoración multi – criterio realizada por un panel de 10 expertos, dando como promedio un IPT alto, lo que indica ser una ruta adecuada para ser aprovechada turísticamente, además se identificó tres tipos de escenarios rústico natural, primitivo y prístino por medio de la aplicación del método ROVAP, lo que señala que la ruta está dentro de un área de gran naturalidad con un alto grado de conservación; la segunda etapa corresponde a la determinación del índice de potencial interpretativo de la ruta en base a una valoración multi – criterio realizada igualmente por 10 expertos, obteniendo un promedio de IPI alto, brindando los recursos suficientes para poder ser interpretada; la tercera etapa corresponde al análisis de la audiencia de la ruta, lo que permitió establecer las preferencias y necesidades de la audiencia nacional como de la audiencia extranjera en lo referente a medios interpretativos; finalmente la cuarta etapa corresponde al diseño de medios interpretativos para la ruta, mediante el análisis de los datos obtenidos en las anteriores etapas se pudo proponer la señalética interpretativa y el guía interprete como los medios más adecuados para la ruta, ya que estos satisfacen las necesidades de la audiencia y van acorde a los requerimientos de los escenarios para los cuales se van a desarrollar. Palabras clave: INTERPRETACIÓN DEL PATRIMONIO - MEDIOS INTERPRETATIVOS - ATRACTIVOS NATURALESThis research aims to design interpretative media for the route of Inguisay- El Altar Volcano at Sangay National Park, Chimborazo province, by four stages. The first stage involves determining opportunities of visits to the route; at this point, it was possible to register an overall of nine natural attractions, from which, the most prominent is El Altar volcano, with hierarchy III, also, a rate of tourism potential was determined by a multi-valued –criterion rating developed by a panel of 10 experts. The tourism potential reported a high IPT (Touristic Potential Rate) average, which demonstrates that this route is appropriate for tourism, also, three types of scenarios were identified: rustic natural, primitive, and pristine by applying the ROVAP (Opportunity Rate for Visitors in Protected Areas) method. This process was useful to determine that the route is into an area potentially natural with a relevant level of conservation. The second stage is the identification of the interpretative potential rate of the route based on a multi-criterion assessment carried out in the same way by 10 experts, giving a high IPI (Interpretative Potential Rate) average, providing sufficient resources to be interpreted. The third stage involves the analysis of the audience of the route, which made possible to establish the preferences and needs of both, the national and the foreign audience regarding to interpretative media. Finally, the fourth stage is the design of interpretative media for the route. By analysing the data collected in the previous stages, it was possible to propose the interpretive signage and the interpreter guide as the communicative resources most suitable for the route, since these meet the needs of the audience and they are according to the requirements of the scenarios for which they will be developed.

Mid-trimester cervical consistency index and cervical length to predict spontaneous preterm birth in a high-risk population

Background: Short cervical length (CL) has not been shown to be adequate as a single predictor of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) in high-risk pregnancies. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the mid-trimester cervical consistency index (CCI) to predict sPTB in a cohort of high-risk pregnancies and to compare the results with those obtained with the CL. Study Design: Prospective cohort study including high-risk singleton pregnancies between 19 +0 and 24 +6 weeks. The ratio between the anteroposterior diameter of the uterine cervix at maximum compression and at rest was calculated offline to obtain the CCI. Results: Eighty-two high sPTB risk women were included. CCI (%) was significantly reduced in women who delivered <37 +0 weeks compared with those who delivered at term, while CL was not. The area under the curve (AUC) of the CCI to predict sPTB <37 +0 weeks was 0.73 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-0.85), being 0.51 (95% CI, 0.35-0.67), p  = 0.03 for CL. The AUC of the CCI to predict sPTB <34 +0 weeks was 0.68 (95% CI, 0.54-0.82), being 0.49 (95% CI, 0.29-0.69), p  = 0.06 for CL. Conclusion: CCI performed better than sonographic CL to predict sPTB. Due to the limited predictive capacity of these two measurements, other tools are still needed to better identify women at increased risk

Is There a Solution to the Orphan Works Problem? Exploring the International Models

Aspects related to copyright and orphan works become a real obstacle for cultural institutions wishing to undertake major projects for the digitisation and on-line availability of their collections. Although some countries have already established models to try to solve the problem of orphan works, others are still discussing possible options. The paper explores the current situation of the schemes in place internationally to deal with the problems associated with orphan works and how these are being applied by cultural institutions regarding the digital dissemination of their collections. The methodology consisted in a systematic review of the research results as an exploratory analytical technique for the collection of relevant information. Results highlighted that global situation is uncertain and none of the formulas studied enables full and effective digitisation and digital dissemination of the world’s cultural heritage. Further advances are necessary for the creation of diligent search procedures
