La mediacion civil y mercantil y sus garantias: un paso mas en la creacion de un espacio judicial europeo
Year: 2012

La Directiva 2008/52/CE, de 21 de mayo de 2008, sobre ciertos aspectos de la mediacion en asuntos civiles y mercantiles, ha supuesto un paso importante para el desarrollo de los procedimientos extrajudiciales de solucion de disputas en Europa, a traves de los cuales se pretende facilitar y mejorar el acceso a la justicia. Aunque se configura como una norma de minimos, en la practica ha sido un modelo para la normativa interna de muchos estados. En Espana, el Real Decreto Ley 5/2012, de 5 de marzo, ademas de efectuar la necesaria adaptacion de nuestro derecho, va mas alla y establece, por primera vez, un regimen juridico general y uniforme aplicable a toda mediacion que tenga lugar en Espana, con independencia del caracter transfronterizo que pueda presentar el conflicto. Se estudian las notas esenciales de la mediacion, con especial atencion a la figura del mediador donde se destaca la importancia de establecer unas normas comunes para acceder a la profesion de mediador con objeto de fomentar una mejor calidad de este instrumento y de garantizar un nivel elevado de formacion profesional y de certificaciones en toda la Union. Asimismo, se profundiza en las garantias minimas del procedimiento con el fin de garantizar la imparcialidad de los terceros, su obligacion de confidencialidad, los efectos sobre el ejercicio de acciones procesales, los plazos dentro de los cuales hay que alcanzar una solucion asi como el marco que ha de servir para la celebracion de los acuerdos. La Directiva establece una regulacion flexible que deberia servir para incentivar el uso de la mediacion como un metodo eficaz para intentar alcanzar soluciones negociadas a los conflictos. Sin perjuicio del desarrollo legislativo que se esta llevando a cabo en todos los Estados miembros, sera necesario que se promueva la cultura de la mediacion haciendo un gran esfuerzo por acercar esta institucion a todos los sectores sociales implicados.
Transmitter coil design for resonant wireless power transfer
Venue: 2016 IEEE PELS Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power Transfer (WoW)
Year: 2016

The paper discusses the Tx coil design for resonant wireless power transfer. Resonant power transfer has attractive features over inductive power transfer i.e. multi device charging and spatial flexibility, both require large coil size. However, the coil size cannot exceed a certain limit to guarantee efficient power transfer. The Tx coil design impacts the whole system performance, we show how it impacts the PA behavior, the system reliability, and the design space. The power coupling for planar coils takes place through the normal magnetic field component Hz, hence, that field component should be uniform as we are going to show. Based on field uniformity a Tx coil synthesis process is introduced, where the coil turns shape are optimized to produce the minimum field variation, only low computational burden magnetic equations can be used to permit the high number of iterations, the final design is verified using a 3D Full wave EM tool.
Psychometric analysis of the short form UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS 6) in older adults
Venue: European journal of ageing
Year: 2014

The aim of this investigation was to present new empirical evidence regarding the psychometric properties of the short form UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS 6) among Portuguese older people. The study included 1,154 persons (60 women and 40 men) aged 60 90 (M 71.26; SD 6.66) The psychometric properties of the ULS 6 were analysed by means of confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency, and criterion related validity methods. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a unidimensional structure of the measure with adequate values of various fit indices. The ULS 6 presented satisfactory psychometric properties, with a high level of internal consistency. Furthermore, the ULS 6 showed a negative relationship with self esteem, satisfaction with life, and positive affect; and a positive one with negative affect. The results confirm that the ULS 6 provides a brief, psychometrically sound measure of loneliness that is appropriate for use among older adults.
Disclaimer labels on fashion magazine advertisements: effects on social comparison and body dissatisfaction.
Venue: Body image
Year: 2013

Recent proposals across a number of Western countries have suggested that idealised media images should carry some sort of disclaimer informing readers when these images have been digitally enhanced. The present studies aimed to experimentally investigate the impact on women's body dissatisfaction of the addition of such warning labels to fashion magazine advertisements. Participants were 120 and 114 female undergraduate students in Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 respectively. In both experiments, participants viewed fashion magazine advertisements with either no warning label, a generic warning label, or a specific more detailed warning label. In neither experiment was there a significant effect of type of label. However, state appearance comparison was found to predict change in body dissatisfaction irrespective of condition. Unexpectedly, trait appearance comparison moderated the effect of label on body dissatisfaction, such that for women high on trait appearance comparison, exposure to specific warning labels actually resulted in increased body dissatisfaction. In sum, the present results showed no benefit of warning labels in ameliorating the known negative effect of viewing thin ideal media images, and even suggested that one form of warning (specific) might be harmful for some individuals. Accordingly, it was concluded that more extensive research is required to guide the most effective use of disclaimer labels.
Occupational stress and job performance of female bankers in bank branches in Abakaliki, Nigeria
Year: 2018

This study titled Occupational Stress and Job Performance of Female Bankers in Bank Branches in Abakaliki, Nigeria was conducted on the United Bank for Africa Plc branches in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.The objectives of the study were to ascertain the degree of relationship that exists between occupational stress (role boundary, distorted responsibility and physical environment) and job performance of female bankers in United Bank for AfricaPlc branches. To achieve these objectives, a descriptive survey was carried out, and data were collected using structured questionnaire in Likert scale format. Analyses of data were done using descriptive statistics, while hypotheses of the study were tested using Pearson correlation coefficient. Findings were that all three dimensions of occupational stress studied have high degree of relationship with female bankers" performance. Occupational stress indicators of role boundary, distorted responsibility and physical environment were further found to significantly affect the performance of female bankers in different ways depending on their marital status and their specific assigned duties. Recommendations are that peculiar working environment ought to be created for female bank workers especially the lactating mothers; adequate job redesign and improved physical environment of the bank branches would also improve the performance of female bank workers at branch level. The implication of the study is that some bank branch environmental settings may be unfavourable to female bank workers and could reduce their effectiveness.  Occupational stress, Female bankers, and Job performance
Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism
Year: 2008

Despite his even handed writing style and quite voice, Muhammad Yunus puts forth a bold vision in his book, Creating a World Without Poverty. His boldness is not captured in his statements concerning global inequality and financial imperialism. No, the depth of his boldness is best captured in his belief that the poor themselves are agents of the economy not objects, and that we need to make a place in our capitalist world economy for companies that do not intend to make a profit. In this way, he challenges some core tenants of capitalism as we know it today.
Semantic Segmentation of Underwater Images Based on Improved Deeplab
Year: 2020

Image semantic segmentation technology has been increasingly applied in many fields, for example, autonomous driving, indoor navigation, virtual reality and augmented reality. However, underwater scenes, where there is a huge amount of marine biological resources and irreplaceable biological gene banks that need to be researched and exploited, are limited. In this paper, image semantic segmentation technology is exploited to study underwater scenes. We extend the current state of the art semantic segmentation network DeepLabv3 and employ it as the basic framework. First, the unsupervised color correction method (UCM) module is introduced to the encoder structure of the framework to improve the quality of the image. Moreover, two up sampling layers are added to the decoder structure to retain more target features and object boundary information. The model is trained by fine tuning and optimizing relevant parameters. Experimental results indicate that the image obtained by our method demonstrates better performance in improving the appearance of the segmented target object and avoiding its pixels from mingling with other class's pixels, enhancing the segmentation accuracy of the target boundaries and retaining more feature information. Compared with the original method, our method improves the segmentation accuracy by 3%

A state of the art review on biomass processing and conversion technologies to produce hydrogen and its recovery via membrane separation
Year: 2020

Hydrogen is a zero emission green fuel containing sufficient energy potentially suitable for electricity generation. Currently, large quantities of hydrogen are produced using classical fossil fuels. Nevertheless, the finite quantities of these resources have compelled the global community to look into using more sustainable and environmentally friendly resources such as bio based waste. There are several approaches, to convert biomass to hydrogen, among which the thermochemical and biological processes are considered as the most important ones. The aim of this review paper is twofold, namely, (a) to evaluate hydrogen production and biomass processing methods to give a better insight into their potential merits and identify gaps for sustainable hydrogen generation, and (b) to evaluate current and future opportunities in membrane technology for hydrogen separation and purification from biomass processing. By fulfilling these gaps, the objectives of economical, sustainable, and environmentally friendly resources for hydrogen production and separation can be recommended.
3D Urban Scene Reconstruction and Interpretation from Multisensor Imagery
Year: 2019

We present an approach for 3D urban scene reconstruction and interpretation based on the fusion of terrestrial and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery. The terrestrial close range images acquired with high resolution cameras reveal details of buildings, particularly of the facades. Yet, they have a poor coverage of the roofs and the ground due to the obtuse viewing angle. Thus, they are complemented by UAV imagery taken from larger distances using nadir and oblique views, with a clear view on the ground and the roofs. The resulting wide baseline images are fused by a precise and reliable pose estimation approach and dense 3D point clouds including color are reconstructed. The colored 3D points are the input to semantic scene classification, which effectively fuses color and 3D geometric information. A set of "relative" features is proposed to provide an intra class stable as well as inter class discriminative description of objects. In comparison with the conventional "absolute" attributes, relative features provide context sensitive measurements of both color and 3D geometry. The classification results for buildings are input to an automatic pipeline for level of detail 2 (LOD2) building model reconstruction combining a reliable scene as well as building decomposition with a subsequent primitive based reconstruction and assembly. Finally, LoD3 models are obtained by integrating the results of facade image interpretation with an adapted convolutional neural network, which employs the 3D point cloud as well as the terrestrial images.
A Minimally Supervised Approach for Synonym Extraction with Word Embeddings
Venue: Prague Bull. Math. Linguistics
Year: 2016

In this paper we present a novel approach to minimally supervised synonym extraction. The approach is based on the word embeddings and aims at presenting a method for synonym extraction that is extensible to various languages. We report experiments with word vectors trained by using both the continuous bag of words model (CBoW) and the skip gram model (SG) investigating the effects of different settings with respect to the contextual window size, the number of dimensions and the type of word vectors. We analyze the word categories that are (cosine) similar in the vector space, showing that cosine similarity on its own is a bad indicator to determine if two words are synonymous. In this context, we propose a new measure, relative cosine similarity, for calculating similarity relative to other cosine similar words in the corpus. We show that calculating similarity relative to other words boosts the precision of the extraction. We also experiment with combining similarity scores from differently trained vectors and explore the advantages of using a part of speech tagger as a way of introducing some light supervision, thus aiding extraction. We perform both intrinsic and extrinsic evaluation on our final system: intrinsic evaluation is carried out manually by two human evaluators and we use the output of our system in a machine translation task for extrinsic evaluation, showing that the extracted synonyms improve the evaluation metric.
Scientific Visualization as a Microservice
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
Year: 2020

In this paper, we propose using a decoupled architecture to create a microservice that can deliver scientific visualization remotely with efficiency, scalability, and superior availability, affordability and accessibility. Through our effort, we have created an open source platform, Tapestry, which can be deployed on Amazon AWS as a production use microservice. The applications we use to demonstrate the efficacy of the Tapestry microservice in this work are: (1) embedding interactive visualizations into lightweight web pages, (2) creating scientific visualization movies that are fully controllable by the viewers, (3) serving as a rendering engine for high end displays such as power walls, and (4) embedding data intensive visualizations into augmented reality devices efficiently. In addition, we show results of an extensive performance study, and suggest how applications can make optimal use of microservices such as Tapestry.
European Stroke Organisation (ESO) Guidelines for the Management of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Venue: International journal of stroke official journal of the International Stroke Society
Year: 2014

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounted for 9% to 27% of all strokes worldwide in the last decade, with high early case fatality and poor functional outcome. In view of recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the management of ICH, the European Stroke Organisation (ESO) has updated its evidence based guidelines for the management of ICH.  A multidisciplinary writing committee of 24 researchers from 11 European countries identified 20 questions relating to ICH management and created recommendations based on the evidence in RCTs using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.  We found moderate to high quality evidence to support strong recommendations for managing patients with acute ICH on an acute stroke unit, avoiding hemostatic therapy for acute ICH not associated with antithrombotic drug use, avoiding graduated compression stockings, using intermittent pneumatic compression in immobile patients, and using blood pressure lowering for secondary prevention. We found moderate quality evidence to support weak recommendations for intensive lowering of systolic blood pressure to <140 mmHg within six hours of ICH onset, early surgery for patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale score 9 12, and avoidance of corticosteroids.  These guidelines inform the management of ICH based on evidence for the effects of treatments in RCTs. Outcome after ICH remains poor, prioritizing further RCTs of interventions to improve outcome.
Molten salt synthesis of a MnO2/Mn2O3 nanocomposite as a high performance cathode material for aqueous zinc ion batteries
Year: 2021

Thanks to low cost, high safety, and large energy density, aqueous zinc ion batteries have attracted tremendous interest worldwide. However, it remains a challenge to develop high performance cathode materials with an appropriate method that is easy to realize massive production. Herein, we use a molten salt method to synthesize nanostructured manganese oxides. The crystalline phases of the manganese oxides can be tuned by changing the amount of reduced graphene oxide added to the reactant mixture. It is found that the a MnO2/Mn2O3 nanocomposite with the largest mass ratio of Mn2O3 delivers the best electrochemical performances among all the products. And its rate capability and cyclability can be significantly improved by modifying the Zn anode with carbon black coating and nanocellulose binder. In this situation, the nanocomposite can deliver high discharging capacities of 322.1 and 213.6 mAh g 1 at 0.2 and 3 A g 1, respectively. After 1000 cycles, it can retain 86.2% of the capacity at the 2nd cycle. Thus, this nanocomposite holds great promise for practical applications.
Entropy Guided Spectrum Based Bug Localization Using Statistical Language Model
Venue: ArXiv
Year: 2018

Locating bugs is challenging but one of the most important activities in software development and maintenance phase because there are no certain rules to identify all types of bugs. Existing automatic bug localization tools use various heuristics based on test coverage, pre determined buggy patterns, or textual similarity with bug report, to rank suspicious program elements. However, since these techniques rely on information from single source, they often suffer when the respective source information is inadequate. For instance, the popular spectrum based bug localization may not work well under poorly written test suite. In this paper, we propose a new approach, EnSpec, that guides spectrum based bug localization using code entropy, a metric that basically represents naturalness of code derived from a statistical language model. Our intuition is that since buggy code are high entropic, spectrum based bug localization with code entropy would be more robust in discriminating buggy lines vs. non buggy lines. We realize our idea in a prototype, and performed an extensive evaluation on two popular publicly available benchmarks. Our results demonstrate that EnSpec outperforms a state of the art spectrum based bug localization technique.

Speech balloon Shapes Estimation for Emotional Text Communication
Year: 2017

The purpose of this study is to visualize speech nuance using speech balloon shapes in text based communication. Though speech nuance disappears in a text communication, comic readers can recognize speech nuance from the speech balloon shape, which expresses nuances, emotions, and intentions. Through the subjective evaluation experiments, we confirmed that the shapes of speech balloon changed the emotion towards the phrases. In this paper, we focus on the relationships between the linguistic features of speech and speech balloon shapes, and developed an estimation model for speech balloon shapes with the linguistic features using Naive Bayes classifier. The effectiveness was confirmed especially in the estimation of `Explosion' and `Wave' shapes. The proposed method is expected to be used to visually represent a speech nuance that contains emotion in a text based communication such as chat system and social networking service.
