Clustering on dissimilarity representations for detecting mislabelled seismic signals at nevado del ruiz volcano

Classification of seismic signals at Colombian volcanoes has been carried out manually by visual inspection. In order to reduce the workload for the seismic analysts and to turn classification reliableand objective, the use of supervised learning algorithms has been explored; particularly classifiers built in dissimilarity spaces. Nonetheless, the performance of such learning methods is subject to the availability of a representative and a priori well classified training sets. To detect mislabeled events, the use of clustering techniques on the dissimilarity representations is proposed. Our experiments,performed on re-analyzed seismic signals, show a significant improvement respect to recognition accuracies for the original data sets

Hydro-meteorological data analysis using olap techniques

The wealth of data recorded by meteorological networks provides a great opportunity for analyzing and discovering knowledge. However, efficient data storage and its effective handling are prerequisites for meteorological and hydro-climatological research and require strategies for capturing, delivering, storing and processing that guarantee quality and consistency of the data. The purpose of this work is to develop a conceptual model for a data warehouse in a star schema that allows the structured storage and multidimensional analysis of historical hydro-climatological data. Information registered by two telemetered networks of hydro-meteorological stations has been collected in the city of Manizales, Colombia. From the designed data warehouse schema, the data warehouse exploits the data (in some cases extending back more than 50 years) in order to apply online analytical processing (OLAP) techniques and discovery potential high-value hidden relationships, in a region particularly affected by climate change and climate variability phenomena. The core contribution of this paper encompasses the exploration of alternatives to the traditional storage and analysis methods and the presentation of a number of cases, showing the effectiveness of the proposed model in the evaluation of the data quality and the visualization of relationships among diverse variables in different scales and for specific cases

Reconocimiento automatizado de señales bioacústicas: Una revisión de métodos y aplicaciones

During the past decade, numerous research studies and applications on automated bioacoustic monitoring have been published; however, such studies are scattered in the literature of engineering and life sciences. This paper presents a review on fundamental concepts of automated acoustic monitoring. Our aim is to compare and categorize —in a taxonomy of techniques DSP/PR— the contributions of published research studies and applications; in order to suggest some directions for future research and highlight challenges and opportunities related to the deployment of this technology in Colombia.Durante la última década, se han publicado numerosos estudios de investigación y aplicaciones sobre monitoreo bioacústico automatizado; sin embargo, tales estudios están dispersos en la literatura de ingeniería y ciencias de la vida.

Mortality from gastrointestinal congenital anomalies at 264 hospitals in 74 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries: a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study

Summary Background Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries globally, and identified factors associated with mortality. Methods We did a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of patients younger than 16 years, presenting to hospital for the first time with oesophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, gastroschisis, exomphalos, anorectal malformation, and Hirschsprung’s disease. Recruitment was of consecutive patients for a minimum of 1 month between October, 2018, and April, 2019. We collected data on patient demographics, clinical status, interventions, and outcomes using the REDCap platform. Patients were followed up for 30 days after primary intervention, or 30 days after admission if they did not receive an intervention. The primary outcome was all-cause, in-hospital mortality for all conditions combined and each condition individually, stratified by country income status. We did a complete case analysis. Findings We included 3849 patients with 3975 study conditions (560 with oesophageal atresia, 448 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 681 with intestinal atresia, 453 with gastroschisis, 325 with exomphalos, 991 with anorectal malformation, and 517 with Hirschsprung’s disease) from 264 hospitals (89 in high-income countries, 166 in middleincome countries, and nine in low-income countries) in 74 countries. Of the 3849 patients, 2231 (58·0%) were male. Median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (IQR 36–39) and median bodyweight at presentation was 2·8 kg (2·3–3·3). Mortality among all patients was 37 (39·8%) of 93 in low-income countries, 583 (20·4%) of 2860 in middle-income countries, and 50 (5·6%) of 896 in high-income countries (p<0·0001 between all country income groups). Gastroschisis had the greatest difference in mortality between country income strata (nine [90·0%] of ten in lowincome countries, 97 [31·9%] of 304 in middle-income countries, and two [1·4%] of 139 in high-income countries; p≤0·0001 between all country income groups). Factors significantly associated with higher mortality for all patients combined included country income status (low-income vs high-income countries, risk ratio 2·78 [95% CI 1·88–4·11], p<0·0001; middle-income vs high-income countries, 2·11 [1·59–2·79], p<0·0001), sepsis at presentation (1·20 [1·04–1·40], p=0·016), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score at primary intervention (ASA 4–5 vs ASA 1–2, 1·82 [1·40–2·35], p<0·0001; ASA 3 vs ASA 1–2, 1·58, [1·30–1·92], p<0·0001]), surgical safety checklist not used (1·39 [1·02–1·90], p=0·035), and ventilation or parenteral nutrition unavailable when needed (ventilation 1·96, [1·41–2·71], p=0·0001; parenteral nutrition 1·35, [1·05–1·74], p=0·018). Administration of parenteral nutrition (0·61, [0·47–0·79], p=0·0002) and use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (0·65 [0·50–0·86], p=0·0024) or percutaneous central line (0·69 [0·48–1·00], p=0·049) were associated with lower mortality. Interpretation Unacceptable differences in mortality exist for gastrointestinal congenital anomalies between lowincome, middle-income, and high-income countries. Improving access to quality neonatal surgical care in LMICs will be vital to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 of ending preventable deaths in neonates and children younger than 5 years by 2030
