La protección del derecho a la propia imagen de los menores

La importancia de la imagen en la sociedad en la que vivimos es un hecho constatable fácilmente. Es por ello que se debe evitar aquello que se considera habitual y cotidiano, no se convierta en abuso, precisamente porque exista una conciencia general de la permisibilidad de la divulgación de cualquier imagen.Las nuevas tecnologías, la televisión y la facilidad de acceso a los medios de comunicación hacen que la difusión de imágenes se produzca de una manera general y globalizada, que debe preocuparnos especialmente cuando entran en juego los menores. De tal forma que hay que evitar a toda costa que las imágenes vulneren los derechos fundamentales de la persona y especialmente con respecto a las imágenes de los menores, en una exposición a la que se encuentran sometidos constantemente

Can personality traits be measured analyzing written language? a meta-analytic study on computational methods

In the last two decades, empirical evidence has shown that personality traits could be related to the characteristics of written language. This study describes a meta-analysis that synthesizes 23 independent estimates of the correlations between the Big Five major personality traits, and some computationally obtained indicators from written language. The results show significant combined estimates of the correlations, albeit small to moderate according to Cohen's conventions to interpret effect sizes, for the five traits (between r = 0.26 for agreeableness and neuroticism, and 0.30 for openness). These estimates are moderated by the type of information in the texts, the use of prediction mechanisms, and the source of publication of the primary studies. Generally, the same effective moderators operate for the five traits. It is concluded that written language analyzed through computational methods could be used to extract relevant information of personality. But further research is still needed to consider it as predictive or explanatory tool for individual difference

Reusing Treated Waste-Water from a Circular Economy Perspective The Case of the Real Acequia de Moncada in Valencia (Spain)

[EN] One of the most important challenges that agriculture faces is sustainable water management and its adaptation to climate change. This adaptation is more important in regions where recurrent draughts and overexploitation of water resources happen. However, historical irrigation systems, such as the Real Acequia de Moncada (RAM) in Valencia, have found innovative approaches to deal with this phenomenon. This paper analyzes the case of Massamagrell and Puçol, which reused the treated waste-water of the closest waste-water treatment plant (WWTP). The study focused from a circular economy perspective on the technological, agronomical, and social implications of this decision. Results show that there are clear benefits for both farmers and WWTP managers. On the one hand, additional nutrients and regularity in their water supply benefit farmers. On the other, WWTP managers can reuse the treated effluent in the system, contributing to the closure of the water cycle and avoiding pumping the treated water into the sea. However, more detailed information and coordination is needed among the different stakeholders. Questions regarding the illegal connection of waste pipes with the traditional irrigation or the payment of pumping costs for reuse have gone unanswered, and there is a need for better reflection from all stakeholders.

Clúster de Computación Científica de Bajo Coste y Consumo

En este trabajo se presenta la construcción de un clúster basado en FPGAs de gama baja, capaz de ejecutar programas muy intensivos en datos en el mismo o en menor tiempo que una estación de trabajo con 56 cores lógicos, de mucho mayor coste y consumo. Se ha generado una imagen personalizada basada en Debian 8 y se ha instalado en ella el software necesario para poder ejecutar códigos escritos en OpenCL y compilados con el Kit de desarrollo de software de Intel para FPGAs. Además, se ha realizado una comparativa de los tiempos de ejecución, coste y consumo energético, cuyo resultado ha sido que el clúster es casi 6 veces más barato y es capaz de obtener reducciones energéticas del 83%.This paper presents the construction of a cluster based on low-end FPGAs, capable of executing very data-intensive programs in the same or less time than a workstation with 56 logical cores, with much higher cost and consumption. A custom image based on Debian 8 has been generated and the software necessary to execute codes written in OpenCL and compiled with the Intel Software Development Kit for FPGAs has been installed. In addition, a comparison has been made of the execution times, cost and energy consumption, and the results have been that the cluster is almost 6 times cheaper and is able to obtain energy reductions of 83%.Universidad de Granada: Departamento de Arquitectura y Tecnología de Computadore

HLStool: Una herramienta de Síntesis de Alto Nivel para el aprendizaje del estudiante en asignaturas de ATC

La utilización de herramientas de Síntesis de Alto Nivel (SAN) es una práctica habitual en las empresas dedicadas al diseño de circuitos. El principal beneficio de estas herramientas se basa en la reducción del “tiempo de lanzamiento al mercado”, ya que permiten evaluar múltiples soluciones en un tiempo reducido. En esta contribución, se propone el uso de una herramienta de síntesis altamente visual y amigable que contenga los algoritmos clásicos para enseñar al alumno las técnicas básicas de SAN, y adicionalmente familiarizarle con el método de trabajo de las compañías de diseño de circuitos. Con esta contribución se propone ofrecer una formación más completa a los futuros graduados que cursen asignaturas del área de la Arquitectura y Tecnología de Computadores.The use of High-Level Synthesis (HLS) tools is a common practice in circuit design companies. The main benefit of these tools consists of diminishing time to market, as they provide multiple solutions to explore in a reduced amount of time. In this paper we propose the use of a highly visual synthesis tool, which implements the classic algorithms to teach students the basic HLS concepts and to get them closer to the companies’ methodology. In this way, Computer Architecture and Technology related subjects will offer a more complete programme to the future graduates.Universidad de Granada: Departamento de Arquitectura y Tecnología de Computadores; Vicerrectorado para la Garantía de la Calidad

SWIMM 2.0: Enhanced Smith–Waterman on Intel’s Multicore and Manycore Architectures Based on AVX-512 Vector Extensions

The well-known Smith–Waterman (SW) algorithm is the most commonly used method for local sequence alignments, but its acceptance is limited by the computational requirements for large protein databases. Although the acceleration of SW has already been studied on many parallel platforms, there are hardly any studies which take advantage of the latest Intel architectures based on AVX-512 vector extensions. This SIMD set is currently supported by Intel’s Knights Landing (KNL) accelerator and Intel’s Skylake (SKL) general purpose processors. In this paper, we present an SW version that is optimized for both architectures: the renowned SWIMM 2.0. The novelty of this vector instruction set requires the revision of previous programming and optimization techniques. SWIMM 2.0 is based on a massive multi-threading and SIMD exploitation. It is competitive in terms of performance compared with other state-of-the-art implementations, reaching 511 GCUPS on a single KNL node and 734 GCUPS on a server equipped with a dual SKL processor. Moreover, these successful performance rates make SWIMM 2.0 the most efficient energy footprint implementation in this study achieving 2.94 GCUPS/Watts on the SKL processor.Facultad de Informátic
