Graphs and Groups

This project is a combination of graphs and group theory in which the aim is to describe the automorphism group of some specific families of graphs. Finally, an example of the application of automorphism groups in reaction graphs is shown. The project is written in english.

From social to political. New forms of mobilization and democratization. Conference proceedings

In the recent evolution of contemporary social movements three phases can be identified. The first phase is marked by the labour movement and the systemic importance attributed to the labour conflict in industrial societies. This conflict has been interpreted as a consequence of the shortcoming of social integration mechanisms by Emile Durkheim, as a rational conflict by entrepreneurs’ and workers’ interests by Max Wener, and as a central class struggle for the transformation of society by Karl Marx. The second phase in this development was led by the new social movements of the post-industrial society of the 1960s and 1970s’ students, women and environmentalist movements. Two new analytical perspectives have explained these movements’ meaning and actions. Resource mobilization theory (McAdam and Tilly) has focuses on rational attitudes and conflicts. Actionalist sociology, in turn, has identified the new protagonists of social conflicts that replaced the labour movement in postindustrial societies. The third phase emerges in a world characterized by the ascendance of markets, the increasingly prominent role of financial capital flows, the closure of communities, and fundamentalism. In this context, human rights and pro-democratization movements constitute alternatives to global domination and the systemic conditioning of individual and groups.

PAnalyzer: A software tool for protein inference in shotgun proteomics

Background Protein inference from peptide identifications in shotgun proteomics must deal with ambiguities that arise due to the presence of peptides shared between different proteins, which is common in higher eukaryotes. Recently data independent acquisition (DIA) approaches have emerged as an alternative to the traditional data dependent acquisition (DDA) in shotgun proteomics experiments. MSE is the term used to name one of the DIA approaches used in QTOF instruments. MSE data require specialized software to process acquired spectra and to perform peptide and protein identifications. However the software available at the moment does not group the identified proteins in a transparent way by taking into account peptide evidence categories. Furthermore the inspection, comparison and report of the obtained results require tedious manual intervention. Here we report a software tool to address these limitations for MSE data. Results In this paper we present PAnalyzer, a software tool focused on the protein inference process of shotgun proteomics. Our approach considers all the identified proteins and groups them when necessary indicating their confidence using different evidence categories. PAnalyzer can read protein identification files in the XML output format of the ProteinLynx Global Server (PLGS) software provided by Waters Corporation for their MSE data, and also in the mzIdentML format recently standardized by HUPO-PSI. Multiple files can also be read simultaneously and are considered as technical replicates. Results are saved to CSV, HTML and mzIdentML (in the case of a single mzIdentML input file) files. An MSE analysis of a real sample is presented to compare the results of PAnalyzer and ProteinLynx Global Server. Conclusions We present a software tool to deal with the ambiguities that arise in the protein inference process. Key contributions are support for MSE data analysis by ProteinLynx Global Server and technical replicates integration. PAnalyzer is an easy to use multiplatform and free software tool.

Herramienta software para el análisis de rendimiento de redes 4G

[ES]El objetivo de este proyecto ha sido desarrollar una herramienta software que permita medir el rendimiento de redes con tecnología móvil 4G, también conocida como LTE. Para ello se ha creado un sistema software que está compuesto por una aplicación móvil y un servidor de aplicaciones. El sistema en conjunto realiza la función de recoger indicadores de calidad de la red móvil de diversa índole, que posteriormente son procesados utilizando herramientas software matemáticas, para así obtener gráficas y mapas que permiten analizar la situación y el rendimiento de una red 4G concreta. El desarrollo del software ha llegado a nivel de prototipo y se han realizado pruebas reales con él obteniendo resultados positivos de funcionamiento.

Análisis de redes de los proyectos de innovación europeos “Leonardo da Vinci”: un ensayo empírico preliminar

[Castellano] En este trabajo se realiza un ensayo empírico preliminar de los proyectos de innovación europeos “Leonardo da Vinci”. La metodología que se utiliza a lo largo del trabajo es el análisis de redes. Se observan grafos e indicadores de redes y se comparan la situación de los agentes que forman las redes. Además no solamente se analiza la situación de los agentes, sino la similitud y causalidad estructural existente entre las redes que conforman dichos proyectos. Este ensayo empírico preliminar da lugar a una futura modelización o a la aplicación de la metodología en otras materias.

Sarean dantzan: Youtubeko bideoen erabilgarritasuna Lehen Hezkuntzan

[eus] Lanaren helburu nagusia hauxe izan da: Lehen Hezkuntzako ikastetxeetan gehien dantzatzen diren, eta Youtubeko bideoetan agertzen diren, euskal dantzen erabilera aztertzea eta balioztatzea. Horretarako, Lehen Hezkuntzako eskolek eta dantza taldeek ekoiztutako dantzak behatu dira. Ikerketa hau egiteko etnografia birtualaren metodoa erabili da. Emaitzei erreparatuz, esan daiteke, eskoletako dantza gutxi dagoela Interneten, eta euskal dantzek ikasleen formakuntzan onurak edo laguntzak eskaintzen dituztela; izan ere, ikasleen garapen integralean beharrezkoak diren faktoreak lantzea eskatzen baitute. Gainera, euskal dantzei esker, ikasleek bere herriaren ondare kulturala ezagutzeko eta gozatzeko aukera izango dute.
