Natalia Merlano, voz (Colombia)
No full textNatalia Merlano es una joven estudiante de música, poseedora de una voz con mucha personalidad y de un acertado manejo de los diferentes estilos de la música popular latinoamericana. Para este concierto, y para la selección que le precedió, se la jugó con una idea central: cantar y proponerle al jurado y al auditorio un repertorio de canciones que nunca hubieran sido escuchadas en esta sala. Es así corno el asunto comenzó por buscar géneros y compositores con cierto criterio geográfico (pertenecientes a varios países), pero rápidamente se le fueron apareciendo otros criterios: su gusto personal, su conocimiento de algunos intérpretes más que de los mismos compositores de las obras, la intención de mostrar estilos que van desde tradiciones urbanas de raíz campesina hasta aquellas con influencias del lenguaje contemporáneo, en fin. En ese sentido la intención de este concierto fue construyéndose poco a poco, pero siempre hubo una claridad: sin el menor asomo de purismo
Eye Tracking for Cultural Heritage: a Gaze-controlled System for Handless Interaction with Artworks
No full textThis paper presents a system that allows users to interact with artwork pictures through their gaze, by means of an eye tracker. In particular, visitors of an exhibition can select artworks, perform image scrolling, change the size of displayed pictures, define sensitive areas (that, when watched, display associated descriptive information), collect user gaze data, show dynamic gaze replays and generate static images showing a "summary" of what the visitor watched. The system was continuously used in an exhibition at the Visconti Castle of Pavia (Italy) from 14th June to 29th November 2015. The gathered data show that, in spite of some calibration problems, the system can be considered reliable and provides the user with an overall "pleasant" interaction experience
MABS validation through repeated execution and data mining analysis
No full textAgent Based Modelling is the most interesting and advanced approach for simulating a complex system: in a social context, the single parts and the whole are often very hard to describe in detail. Besides, there are agent based formalisms which allow to study the emergency of social behaviour with the creation and study of models, known as artificial societies. Thanks to the ever increasing computational power, it's been possible to use such models to create software, based on intelligent agents, which aggregate behaviour is complex and difficult to predict, and can be used in open and distributed systems. Data mining is born in the last decades in order to help users in finding useful knowledge from the otherwise overwhelming amount of data available nowadays from the web and the data collected every day by companies. Data Mining techniques can therefore be the keystone to reveal non-trivial knowledge expressed by the initial assumption used to build the micro-level of the model and the structure of the society of agents that emerged from the simulation
Thrombotic Events during Lenvatinib Treatment: A Single Institution Experience
No full textLenvatinib is the standard treatment for radioiodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer (RR-DTC). Thromboembolic (TE) side effects are quite rare (1–3% of treated patients) in clinical trials. Nevertheless, patients with predisposing factors are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular adverse events. Reduction of lenvatinib starting dose and cardiologic counselling to provide appropriate supportive therapies are usually recommended for high-risk patients. From 2016 to 2022, we analyzed a series of 16 patients who were consecutively treated at our institution. All except one patient received a reduction in their dosage after two cycles of therapy because of toxicities, and four patients (25%) suffered from TE. The observed incidence in our patient sample seemed to be higher than expected. We hypothesized that our patient sample might be at higher risk probably because of the heavy prior loco-regional treatments performed

El animé como lienzo para analizar las tensiones entre prácticas epistémicas ancestrales y tecnocientíficas
No full textThis essay analyzes the tensions between ancestral epistemic practices and technoscientific epistemic practices represented in the contents and narratives of Japanese anime. Based on the analysis of three anime series, interpretations are developed around these tensions, to transcend the context of animation and bring reflections to the analogous world in the face of the current conditions of conflict between Latin American ancestral epistemic practices and western technoscientific epistemic practices. Thus, anime can be understood as an expressive and representative art, alternative to Western narratives, or as a technoscientific propaganda device.El presente ensayo analiza las tensiones entre las prácticas epistémicas ancestrales y las prácticas epistémicas tecnocientíficas representadas en los contenidos y las narrativas del animé japonés. A partir del análisis de tres series de animé, se elaboran interpretaciones en torno a dichas tensiones, para trascender el contexto de la animación y llevar las reflexiones al mundo análogo frente a las actuales condiciones de pugna entre las prácticas epistémicas ancestrales latinoamericanas y las prácticas epistémicas tecnocientíficas occidentales. Así, el animé puede ser entendido como un arte expresivo y representativo alternativo a las narrativas occidentales, o como un dispositivo de propaganda tecnocientífica.Acevedo Merlano, Alvaro-will be generated-orcid-0000-0002-0131-0276-60
