Development of an Android mobile application to monitor and control daily health of users
Full text linkTreballs Finals de Grau d'Enginyeria Biomèdica. Facultat de Medicina i Ciències de la Salut. Universitat de Barcelona. Curs: 2022-2023. Tutor/Director: Colomer i Farrarons, JordiNon-communicable diseases (NCDs), also known as chronic or long-term diseases, are the result of a combination of genetic, physiological, environmental and behavioural factors that, once initiated, can last a lifetime. The main types are cardiovascular diseases, cancers, chronic respiratory diseases (such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD and asthma) and diabetes.
In this context, the Agencia de Salud Pública de Cataluña (ASPCAT) initiated several cancer prevention and health promotion programmes some years ago, which are promoted through primary health care.
In this sense, and with the intention of promoting prevention and facilitating the daily lives of these patients, the mobile application Applud has been created. This application aims to be a tool that helps middle-aged people to keep track of their health, both for patients with chronic diseases and for the healthy population at risk of developing one of these diseases
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
User-centered integrated redesign of the Electrophysiology Room at the Sant Joan de Déu Pediatric Hospital
Full text linkTreballs Finals de Grau d'Enginyeria Biomèdica. Facultat de Medicina i Ciències de la Salut. Universitat de Barcelona. Curs: 2024-2025. Tutor: Jordi Colomer i Farrarons ; Director: Georgia Sarquella BrugadaThis project presents a comprehensive redesign proposal for the Electrophysiology Room at the Arrhythmia Unit of
Sant Joan de Déu Children’s Hospital (HSJD). The objective is to resolve existing structural and functional inefficiencies
through a needs-driven, paediatric-adapted design. The approach follows the Biodesign methodology, progressing
from the identification of needs to the proposal of solutions. The first phase involved shadowing procedures, interviews
with clinicians and nurses, detailed questionnaires and benchmarking visits to six Spanish hospitals. This led to the
collection and classification of over 40 needs across four categories: infrastructure, equipment, patient experience, and
staff comfort. Each need was prioritised (must-have, nice to have, or not needed) based on CSUR standards, clinical
workflows, and national recommendations.These needs were translated into a set of finalessential and recommended
technical requirements. For each, a tailored solution was proposed, integrating real-world observations and
commercially available technologies. The proposal includes ceiling-mounted storage and power systems, improved
lighting and temperature control, and better ergonomic conditions. All solutions were compiled into a full list of
recommended equipment and illustrated in a conceptual layout plan.The project concludes that while technical design
is key, subjectivity plays a major role in shaping what each team considers "ideal." Hence, the "perfect" EP room is not
a universal standard but a dynamic solution that must respond to the unique needs of a clinical team at a specific point
in time
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
