La protección de los acreedores en el concurso. ¿Quién es el acreedor?

Se tratan en este artículo dos grupos de casos difíciles. En primer término, sobre la determinación de la condición de acreedor a efectos de poder solicitar la declaración de un concurso necesario. Así dedicamos una especial atención a los mecanismos de acreditación y oposición de la legitimación para instar el concurso por parte de los acreedores [I¿III]. Investigamos el significado y límites del principio de favor creditori incidiendo sobre su fundamento, ámbito de aplicación y utilidad en el concurso y destacando el nulo efecto que puede tener en la propia declaración del concurso o en los conflictos entre acreedores. A tal fin reconstruimos la posición del acreedor como presupuesto del concurso, examinamos la posible oposición del deudor y las facultades del juez y repasamos una colección de casos difíciles. Seguidamente abordamos de forma casuística el procedimiento de reconocimiento de créditos, atendiendo a las posibles incidencias que se puedan producir [y IV].Discussed in this article are two groups of complex cases. First, on the determination of the creditor status and the necessary conditions that must apply for the purposes of the declaration of a bankruptcy file. So we dedicate special attention to the mechanisms of accreditation and opposition from the necessary legal standing to bring the contest by the creditors [I¿III]. We investigate the meaning and limits of the principle of favor creditori impacting on its merits, scope and usefulness in the competition and emphasizing on the null effect it can have in the statement of the bankruptcy file or conflicts between creditors. With this aim we reconstruct the position of creditor and budget of the bankruptcy file, we examine the possible opposition of the debtor, the powers and jurisdiction of the judge and review a collection of complex cases. Finally, we will review, from existing case law, the procedure for the recognition of credits, paying special attention to the incidents that may occur (and IV)

Identificación de pólenes utilizando técnicas de visión por computador

[ES] En este trabajo se evalúa la viabilidad de un sistema automático de clasificación de pólenes en imágenes de miel obtenidas con microscopio basado en un modelo que usa como discriminantes atributos derivados del estudio del color y la textura. En primer lugar se establece cómo podría favorecer la Visión por Computador al campo de la Melisopalinología para solucionar las necesidades de clasificación de pólenes con unos niveles de garantía similares a los del criterio experto. Realizamos una serie de experimentos a partir de un conjunto de 12 imágenes con 138 pólenes identificados y clasificados de manera manual. En dichos experimentos se contempla la viabilidad de los descriptores suaves derivados del color y la textura como factores discriminantes de clasificación entre especies. Estos atributos se obtienen en tres espacios de color distintos: escala de grises, RGB y CIE LAB, siendo este último perceptualmente uniforme. Los resultados se evalúan de acuerdo a la tasa de aciertos del modelo, y se estudia detalladamente el comportamiento del modelo con respecto a las categorías más conflictivas. A continuación realizamos más experimentos utilizando atributos derivados de la matriz de co-ocurrencia de la textura de las imágenes, y se presentan las configuraciones que mejores resultados han dado para el conjunto de pólenes de los que disponemos. También aplicamos de forma análoga la extracción de atributos en el dominio de las frecuencias usando wavelets y analizamos sus patrones binarios locales, definiendo qué combinación de descriptores resulta más efectiva. Observando la evolución en la tasa de acierto de nuestro modelo, finalmente proponemos varios trabajos futuros para la continuidad del estudioPeinado Sanchis, FI. (2015).

Strategic Intelligence Monitor on Personal Health Systems Phase 3 (SIMPHS3). MOMA and Maccabi Healthcare Services (Israel). Case Study Report

MOMA is a care model based on a multidisciplinary 24/7 advanced technology call centre for treatment of various chronic diseases. It was established in 2012 by Maccabi Healthcare Services in cooperation with the Gertner Institute. Maccabi Healthcare Services is one of the four authorised health funds providing universal healthcare services in Israel. The MOMA initiative was designed as a technological tool to improve the integration of different services such as long-term care, pharmacy, homecare and hospital care, in coordination with the patient’s primary care physician and other community-based resources. MOMA addresses the needs of chronically ill patients, which Maccabi Healthcare Services considered as patients who should receive special care instead of standard care.JRC.J.3-Information Societ

Strategic Intelligence Monitor on Personal Health Systems Phase 3 (SIMPHS3).Veterans Health Administration (USA). Case Study Report

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is an agency of the United States Department of Veterans’ Affairs (this Department that has the 3rd largest budget among departments of the US administration). The medical assistance program implemented by the VHA is the largest integrated care system in the US (consisting of 150 medical centres and nearly 1,700 facilities comprising community-based outpatient clinics, community living centres, Veterans’ Centres and domiciliary assistance). It provides comprehensive care to almost 9 million veterans every year. The VHA is centrally administered and fully integrated; its services are funded and provided by the federal government. Therefore the VHA works both as a provider and payer, a rather unusual feature in the US health care structure. In fact, VHA is the only truly national health care system in the US, with hospitals or other facilities in every state and major metropolitan area of the country, as well as in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Philippines. The VHA network is divided into 23 Veterans Integrated Service Networks, or VISNs, i.e. regional systems of care working together to better meet local health care needs and provide greater access to care.JRC.J.3-Information Societ

Strategic Intelligence Monitor on Personal Health Systems Phase 3 (SIMPHS3). Diabmemory (Austria). Case Study Report

In 2010, the Austrian Social Insurance Institution for Railways and Mining Industry (Versicherungsanstalt für Eisenbahnen und Bergbau, VAEB) started a proof-of-concept diabetes telemonitoring project called DiabMemory, as part of a wider programme called "Health Dialogue" (“Gesundheitsdialog”). DiabMemory allows diabetes patients to track health parameters using a mobile phone and share this data with their General Practitioner (GP). After being diagnosed with type 1 or 2 diabetes in primary or secondary care, patients insured by VAEB are given the opportunity to stay for a period of one to three weeks at a special rehabilitation facility in Breitenstein (Lower Austria) to receive education on all aspects relevant to their health and medical conditions like nutrition, physical activity, and psychological aspects. If they decide to join the programme, they receive the equipment and training on how to use the DiabMemory system and how to integrate it into their everyday lives. After their stay in Breitenstein, participants are able to use DiabMemory without further help. A web-based application allows health professionals responsible for therapy management within the Health Dialogue programme to access patient data and adjust therapy plans when needed. Moreover, they can provide users with motivational messages and feedback can be sent directly to the patient’s mobile.JRC.J.3-Information Societ

Strategic Intelligence Monitor on Personal Health Systems Phase 3 (SIMPHS3). Integrated care programme for older in- and out-patients University Hospital of Getafe (Spain). Case Study Report

For more than 20 years the Geriatrics Service of the University Hospital of Getafe (Hospital Universitario de Getafe – HUG) has been offering integrated care programmes for older in- and out-patients. These services provide continuous, progressive and coordinated attention to patients at high risk of functional decline, institutionalisation, and hospitalisation, at home or in residential care settings. The objective is to offer the most appropriate care according to the changing needs of the patients. The programme is twofold: for people admitted to the hospital, the care teams responsible for the different phases of the treatment are coordinated through periodic meetings (both physical and remote, the latter to coordinate care with other hospitals) and coordinate with the team in primary care before discharge; for patients who are at home or in residential care facilities, the programme includes follow-up of the patient directly, or in close collaboration with primary care and social care agents when needed.JRC.J.3-Information Societ

Strategic Intelligence Monitor on Personal Health Systems Phase 3 (SIMPHS3). Renewing Health Carinthia (Austria). Case Study Report

Renewing Health is a European project (February 2010-December 2013), partly funded by the European Union under the ICT Policy Support Programme, part of the Competitiveness and Innovation framework Programme (CIP), with a total budget of €14 million and European co-financing of €7 million. The project aimed to implement health-related ICT services through large-scale real-life test beds for the validation and subsequent evaluation of innovative eHealth services, using a patient-centred approach and a rigorous common assessment methodology. This case study focuses on the Austrian Partner of the project: the Carinthia region and, more precisely, KABEG (Krankenanstalten Betriebsgesellschaft), the hospital management company in the region. In RENEWING HEALTH, KABEG integrated a set of telemonitoring solutions into their existing systems for two target groups - patients suffering from Diabetes Mellitus Type II and patients suffering from COPD – in order to carry out two pilots to test the effects of the resulting system.JRC.J.3-Information Societ

El derecho aéreo entre lo público y lo privado : Aeropuertos, acceso al mercado, drones y responsabilidad

386 páginas.El carácter multidisciplinar del derecho aéreo ha sido una de las razones por las que aún son escasos los estudios académicos sobre los diversos aspectos jurídicos que se entrecruzan en el sector. No obstante, ese ha sido precisamente el enfoque que han querido darle los directores a esta obra, huyendo de encorsetamientos académicos que impedirían un tratamiento global de los problemas jurídicos que se plantean en el sector aeronáutico. Atentos, pues, a los últimos avances de la realidad, se ha querido ofrecer un elenco de trabajos sobre temas significativos y de máxima actualidad que tienen en común su incidencia en el desarrollo de una actividad económica de alcance internacional, esencial en nuestro país, y que supone, igualmente, un pilar básico de la región. Y todo ello desde la Universidad, pero en contacto directo con el entorno empresarial y profesional, pues esa simbiosis es la única que puede hacer de una obra jurídica como ésta un estudio verdaderamente útil
