WELIVE - UN NUEVO CONCEPTO DE ADMINISTRACIÓN PÚBLICA BASADA EN LOS CONTENIDOS Y SERVICIOS DIGITALES CO-CREADOS CON/POR LOS CIUDADANOS

WeLive propone transformar la propuesta actual de e-Government, seguida por la mayor parte de las administraciones públicas europeas, a través de un modelo abierto de ideación, diseño, producción y publicación de una nueva generación de servicios públicos personalizados y centrados en los ciudadanos; apoyándose en la colaboración conjunta entre diferentes agentes; las Administraciones Públicas, los ciudadanos y los emprendedores. Además, WeLive persigue reducir el gap existente entre la “innovación” tecnológica y la “adopción” por parte de la ciudadanía y otros agentes urbanos de esta nueva generación de servicios públicos construidos a partir del modelo de datos abiertos de la administración pública. Para ello, en el marco de WeLive se ha creado un novedoso ecosistema de herramientas TIC construido sobre los paradigmas de los Datos Abiertos, Servicios Abiertos e Innovación. WeLive será validado a través de un piloto en 3 ciudades (Bilbao - España, Novi Sad - Serbia y Trento - Italia) y 1 región (Helsinki-Uusimaa - Finlandia) en Europa. Cada una de estas ciudades cuenta con un conjunto de características diferenciales que las convierten en ciudades “ejemplo” y “representativas” donde medir el impacto que una solución abierta y colaborativa como WeLive puede originar. En lo que respecta a la viabilidad de negocio de la infraestructura WeLive, incluyendo sus componentes individuales, éste será validado mediante el desarrollo y despliegue de modelos de negocio sostenibles a lo largo del tiempo.European Commission's H2020.

Una imagen desplazada: el cuestinamiento de la imagen más allá de su representación

[EN] The interest of a society with a progressive rise of the visual-technology where the image, an omnipresent element, has become the subject of multiple sociological and esthetical speeches led me to focus on the revision of the image’s representation as the main axis of this project. “Una imagen desplazada” entitles a range of pictorial works that try to tighten the relation between image and painting, setting a distance between reality and a/the mimetic representation of itself. Which with help from digital and manual reproductions of the image tries not only to transfigure or present a reality but also to build it. The reassessment of the image and how it’s questioned, questioning painting is the purpose of my artwork, aiming to show the relation between support and medium, questioning the pictorial space between painting and image, doing it on the represented image itself.[ES] El interés por una sociedad en la que existe un progresivo auge de lo visual-tecnológico, donde la imagen, elemento omnipresente, se ha convertido en el centro de atención de múltiples discursos sociológicos y estéticos, me ha llevado a que sea la revisión de la representación de imágenes el eje principal de este proyecto. Por lo que “Una imagen desplazada” da título a una serie de trabajos pictóricos que pretenden establecer un estrechamiento entre imagen y pintura, realizando un distanciamiento entre realidad y representación mimética de la misma. Que con la ayuda de reproducciones digitales y manuales de la imagen no solo trata de transfigurar o presentar una realidad, sino construirla. El replanteamiento de la imagen y en como esta se cuestiona, cuestionando la pintura misma es la finalidad de mi trabajo, teniendo como objetivo mostrar la relación entre el soporte y el medio, cuestionando el espacio pictórico, y entre pintura e imagen, haciéndolo sobre la propia imagen representada.Lemos López De Ipiña, I.

Towards an optimal adaptation of exposure to NOAA assessment methodology in Multi-Source Industrial Scenarios (MSIS): the challenges and the decision-making process

It is expected a progressive increase of the industrial processes that manufacture of intermediate (iNEPs) and end products incorporating ENMs (eNEPs) to bring about improved properties. Therefore, the assessment of occupational exposure to airborne NOAA will migrate, from the simple and well-controlled exposure scenarios in research laboratories and ENMs production plants using innovative production technologies, to much more complex exposure scenarios located around processes of manufacture of eNEPs that, in many cases, will be modified conventional production processes. Here will be discussed some of the typical challenging situations in the process of risk assessment of inhalation exposure to NOAA in Multi-Source Industrial Scenarios (MSIS), from the basis of the lessons learned when confronted to those scenarios in the frame of some European and Spanish research projects.This paper exploits the results of the research developed by projects SCAFFOLD and EHS Advance. Project SCAFFOLD received funding from the European Union's FP7 research and innovation programme, under grant agreement No. 280535. Project EHS Advance received funding from the Basque Government research programme (Etortek). The authors would also like to express their grateful to companies BOSTLAN (Bizkaia, Spain) and TECNAN (Navarra, Spain) for the support provided to carry out the exposure measurements in their respective facilities

Citizen-Centric Data Services for Smarter Cities

Smart Cities use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to manage more efficiently the resources and services offered by a city and to make them more approachable to all its stakeholders (citizens, companies and public administration). In contrast to the view of big corporations promoting holistic “smart city in a box” solutions, this work proposes that smarter cities can be achieved by combining already available infrastructure, i.e., Open Government Data and sensor networks deployed in cities, with the citizens’ active contributions towards city knowledge by means of their smartphones and the apps executed in them. In addition, this work introduces the main characteristics of the IES Cities platform, whose goal is to ease the generation of citizen-centric apps that exploit urban data in different domains. The proposed vision is achieved by providing a common access mechanism to the heterogeneous data sources offered by the city, which reduces the complexity of accessing the city’s data whilst bringing citizens closely to a prosumer (double consumer and producer) role and allowing to integrate legacy data into the cities’ data ecosystem.The European Union’s Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme has supported this work under grant agreement No. 325097

Towards Citizen Co-Created Public Service Apps

WeLive project's main objective is about transforming the current e-government approach by providing a new paradigm based on a new open model oriented towards the design, production and deployment of public services and mobile apps based on the collaboration of different stakeholders. These stakeholders form the quadruple helix, i.e., citizens, private companies, research institutes and public administrations. Through the application of open innovation, open data and open services paradigms, the framework developed within the WeLive project enables the co-creation of urban apps. In this paper, we extend the description of the WeLive platform presented at, plus the preliminary results of the first pilot phase. The two-phase evaluation methodology designed and the evaluation results of first pilot sub-phase are also presented.The work presented in this research article has been carried out within the WeLive project from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under Grant Agreement No. 645845

Collaboration-Centred Cities through Urban Apps Based on Open and User-Generated Data

This paper describes the IES Cities platform conceived to streamline the development of urban apps that combine heterogeneous datasets provided by diverse entities, namely, government, citizens, sensor infrastructure and other information data sources. This work pursues the challenge of achieving effective citizen collaboration by empowering them to prosume urban data across time. Particularly, this paper focuses on the query mapper; a key component of the IES Cities platform devised to democratize the development of open data-based mobile urban apps. This component allows developers not only to use available data, but also to contribute to existing datasets with the execution of SQL sentences. In addition, the component allows developers to create ad hoc storages for their applications, publishable as new datasets accessible by other consumers. As multiple users could be contributing and using a dataset, our solution also provides a data level permission mechanism to control how the platform manages the access to its datasets. We have evaluated the advantages brought forward by IES Cities from the developers' perspective by describing an exemplary urban app created on top of it. In addition, we include an evaluation of the main functionalities of the query mapper.European Union's Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (ICT-PSP CIP Programme).

The sardine workers of Bilbao in the Middle Age through the ordinances of its council

RESUMEN En la actualidad se va consolidando la teoría de que la historia no es solo contar las hazañas de personajes singulares, porque los personajes sin masas sociales detrás –incluso precediéndoles en casi todos los casos- no hubieran sido nada. Y se va aceptando el papel que jugaron las mujeres en el devenir de la Historia, en la medida en que crece el número de las investigadoras preocupadas por dar luz y relato a la mitad de la humanidad a través de los tiempos con sus investigaciones. Este trabajo de fin de grado se alinea en el campo de la investigación histórica sobre el papel de las mujeres en la sociedad medieval. Y se centra en un tema muy específico, la labor de vendedoras de sardinas en Bilbao. Sus caracteres sociales y económicos, las formas de venta, los lugares donde exponían su mercancía, las leyes concejiles que regulaban su comercio o sus medidas reivindicativas frente a las normas municipales que recogen algunas Ordenanzas del Concejo.ABSTRACT At present, the theory that history is not just telling the feats of singular characters is consolidated, because the characters without social masses behind - even preceding them in almost all cases - would have been nothing. And the investigation of the historical role that women played in the future of History is consolidated, as the number of researchers worried about giving light and story to half of humanity through the ages grows. This final degree project is aligned in the field of historical research on the role of women in medieval society. And it focuses on a very specific job, the work of sardine saleswomen, in Bilbao. Their social and economic characteristics, the forms of sale, the places where they exhibited the merchandise, the municipal laws that regulated their commerce or their protest measures in front of the municipal norms that some Ordinances of the City Council collect.Grado en Histori

'Close-the-loop': an iBeacon app to foster recycling through just-in-time feedback

Contemporary micro-location technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) show promise in enabling new experiences when interacting with physical spaces. An emerging BLE technology is iBeacons, with the retail sector pioneering their use to enhance shopping experiences. There is scope for the HCI sustainability community to explore the use of iBeacons to raise awareness around sustainability issues, particularly in public and communal spaces. This work presents embryonic research exploring the design of a prototype iBeacon-based sustainability application called 'Close-the-Loop'. The application builds on previous sustainability and just-in-time feedback research to encourage end-users to engage in recycling behaviours in a large university canteen space. Findings from a focus group and short ethnographic study provide design insights to further develop the prototype to increase engagement with appropriate recycling practices
