Decision making in reinsurance with induced OWA operators and Minkowski distances

The decision to choose a reinsurance program has many complexities because it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high levels in different optimal criteria including maximum gain, minimum variance, and probability of ruin. This article suggests a new method by which, through membership functions, we can measure the distance of each alternative to an optimal result and aggregate it by using different types of aggregations. In this article, particular attention is given to the induced Minkowski ordered weighted averaging distance operator and the induced Minkowski probabilistic ordered weighted averaging distance operator. The main advantage of these operators is that they include a wide range of special cases. Thus, they can adapt efficiently to the specific needs of the calculation processes. By doing so, the reinsurance system can make better decisions by using different scenarios in the uncertain environment considered

Forgotten effects model in the strategic analysis of media

The consumer's appreciation of a means of communication is the result of the aggregation and composition of certain subjective estimates, which are also different in each individual, about some qualities or characteristics that a particular medium is believed to have. One of the main objectives is to find, directly or indirectly, those elements that consumers, whether consciously or unconsciously, seek and want about a means of communication. The purpose is for companies to focus their investments and resources on enhancing those qualities expected by citizens. This can be achieved by implementing actions aimed at influencing the audience in their appreciation of the qualities of the media at different levels. Therefore, we intend to establish mechanisms of causality, through different combinations of cause-effect relationships between the actions or measures to reach the audience, and the characteristics of the media most valued by consumers

Decision-making processes of non-life insurance pricing using fuzzy logic and OWA operators

Setting a commercial premium for an insurance policy is a complex process, even, though statistical tools provide fairly reliable information on the behavior of the frequency and cost of claims differentiated by risk profiles reflected in pure premium calculations. However lately setting the price the customer must pay has not been easy, because of the uncertainty of, having to use subjective criteria to analyze how demand may be affected by different price alternatives and economic situations. This article aims to develop this process in two stages. The first stage is carried out with the opinion of experts applied to uncertain numbers and Ordered Weighted Average (OWA) operators to assess the overall benefits of each profile to choose the best alternative. The second stage, which uses Heavy OWA (HOWA) operators, is based on the results obtained in the first stage and chooses a general price alternative for all profiles

Effects of psychological intervention in memory, learning ability and executive function of a young-adult with OCD

En las últimas décadas los estudios neuropsicológicos han hallado déficit para atención, memoria y función ejecutiva en sujetos con trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo. Del mismo, modo la literatura ha descrito los tratamientos más eficaces para disminuir la sintomatología obsesiva. Se han evidenciado cambios en el cerebro tras un tratamiento psicológico en el trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo. En el presente estudio se evalúan los procesos neuropsicológicos y la sintomatología obsesivo-compulsiva tras seis meses de intervención psicológica en un joven-adulto con trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo. Los resultados muestran una mejora de los procesos cognitivos como la memoria verbal a corto y largo plazo, capacidad de aprendizaje, así como la función ejecutiva. Conclusiones: Este estudio obtiene resultados sobre los efectos de la intervención psicológica en los procesos neuropsicológicos. Futuros estudios deben incluir una muestra mayor de sujetos para ver los efectos neuropsicológicos de los diferentes tratamientos a largo plazo.In recent decades, studies have found neuropsychological deficit in attention, memory and executive function in subjects with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The same way the literature has described the most effective treatments to reduce obsessive symptoms. They have shown changes in the brain after a psychological treatment in obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the present study the neuropsychological processes and obsessive-compulsive symptoms after six months of psychological intervention in a young adult with obsessive-compulsive disorder are evaluated. The results show an improvement in cognitive processes such as verbal short and long term, learning ability and executive function memory. Conclusions: This study obtained results on the effects of psychological intervention on neuropsychological processes. Future studies should include a larger sample of subjects to see the neuropsychological effects of different treatments over time

Gender equality index of the autonomous communities of Spain: a multidimensional analysis

The main aim of this document is to establish a diagnosis of inequality between men and women in the autonomous communities of Spain. This study proposes a multidimensional methodology composed of 25 variables and classifies them in four dimensions: education, labor market, social conditions, and empowerment, using the subjective preference model to determine the weight of each variable. Then the four dimensions are added with equal weight to obtain a general indicator for each of the autonomous communities. Therefore, this study presents an adequate diagnosis that allows comparing the gender gap for each of the autonomous communities in any of the different issues raised: both in every dimension and at a general level. The final goal is to establish a methodological reference framework to estimate how gender equality benefits the regional economy. This estimation will be done in our next research

Virtual visits as an alternative approach to learn urban and architectural heritage preservation during lockdown

Among the challenges faced at the university, during the lockdown from mid-March 2020, it was the need to give continuity to the learning of subjects that involve a direct approach to cultural property. In "Architectural History, Theory and Composition 3 - Rehabilitation", undergraduated students of the University of Seville’s Degree studies of Fundamentals in Architecture and teachers have practiced new ways of distance learning. Traditionally, reading and consulting materials are provided in digital formats (catalogues and urban plans, publications on buildings, urban history, cartography). Complementary, the visits of immersion in the heritage reality are especially productive in academic terms. Buildings, spaces, and urban perceptions are identified, so that students develop ways of seeing and recognize their complexity. The social, cultural, artistic, archaeological, landscape dimension prepares preservation or rehabilitation practices. This includes a visit to a qualified sector of the historic centre of Seville. This experience was initially planned to be onsite but due to the pandemic became virtual. The possibilities offered by the digital resources resulted in deeper approaches to other features of cultural property that were not frequently repaired by Architecture students
