Supermundanae Naturae
Get PDFI've found that the work of Roberta Restaino can only be approached by accepting art as an open system: protean, powerful, and mutable as it confronts its own disciplinary limitations, new art forms, and modes of thought. When you approach Roberta's work, the art is not quiet; instead, it is something we encounter, something that forces us to think. Her work helps encourage a theoretical framework of art history that can be anchored in an interpretation of the world that exists indissolubly linked to the complexities and aesthetics of the biological world. By extracting subtleties from the biological world that would otherwise go unnoticed, her innovative exploration of natural world that engulfs us yields pieces that can be characterized as at once aesthetic and ontological.
During her time at CU-Boulder, her artistic practice began take on the life of a scientist whose microscopic observations of the natural world lead her to new discoveries and new platforms. Restaino constructed Otherworldly Nature within the delicate threshold of ceramics and printmaking, an indeterminate space between disciplines that furthers the relationship between art and science. By working within this threshold she begins to intimately assemble a biological world in expressions, sensations, and intensities. In more ways than not, the following thesis demonstrates the challenges and metamorphosis of Roberta Restaino not only within the studio, but outside of it as well.

El employee engagement en monitores de estudios clínicos
Get PDFFil: Restaino, Claudina M.. Universidad de San Andrés. Escuela de Negocios; Argentina.El presente trabajo aborda la cuestión del employee enagagement en monitores de estudios clínicos. Se introduce el tema desde un contexto social en el que los avances tecnológicos impactan de forma directa al mundo de las ciencias motivo por el cual se hace necesario prestar especial atención a este sector. El análisis se circunscribe a las particularidades que acontecen en la empresa Life1, la cual pertenece al mundo de la CROs (Contract Research Organizations), ante la necesidad de contar y mantener en la organización a científicos del área de la salud para el desarrollo de tareas a largo plazo y la gestión de proyectos de complejidad. Con este fin, se aborda al employee engagement en pos de lograr una mejor comprensión de los factores que pueden afectar la implicación de los monitores de estudios clínicos en su trabajo en ensayos y con ello facilitar el diseño de estrategias adecuadas y efectivas

No full textOptimal Cut-off Points for Multiple Causes of Business Failure Models
No full textIn studies involving bankruptcy prediction models, since the attention is focused on the classification of firms into groups according to their financial status and the prediction of the status for new firms, optimal cutoff points have to be chosen.
Some methods have been developed for two-group classification. Until now,
there are few references on how to determine optimal thresholds when the groups are more than two. Here, a method based on the optimization of both correct classification
rate and expected cost misclassification (ECM) is proposed for determining optimal cutoff points when there are multiple causes of business failure. The proposed procedure has been tested on a real data set
An Empirical Comparison of Variable Selection Methods in Competing Risks Model
No full textThe variable selection is a challenging task in statistical analysis. In many real situations, a large number of potential predictors are available and a selection among them is recommended. For dealing with this problem, the automated procedures
are the most commonly used methods, without taking into account their
drawbacks and disadvantages. To overcome them, the shrinkage methods are a good alternative. Our aim is to investigate the performance of some variable selection
methods, focusing on a statistical procedure suitable for the competing risks model.
In this theoretical setting, the same variables might have different degrees of influence
on the risks due to multiple causes and this has to be taken into account in the choice of the ”best” subset. The proposed procedure, based on shrinkage techniques, is evaluated by means of empirical analysis on a data-set of financial indicators computed from a sample of industrial firms annual reports
