L'objectiu és revelar la potència pedagògica de l'obra d'Ouaknin (segle XX): 1991-2000. En conseqüència, la hipòtesi conjectura que un seguiment atent dels textos ouakninians pot derivar vers una pedagogia lectora. El mètode, conreat per la filosofia i adient al fenomen lector, és l'hermenèutica de Gadamer. Bàsicament, tres autories influencien el nostre rabí quant a lectura: Arendt (acció), Ricoeur (triple mimesi) i Levinas (fecunditat). Aquesta pedagogia lectora, espaciotemporalitat que facilita una antropologia on l'humà avé qüestionament (quoibilité), situa les modalitats lectores (intencional i vivencial), vehicula els protagonistes (deixeble, mestre i text) i mostra els moviments concomitants (carícia, bibliofarmacologia i ètica)

El laboratori de física és el lloc que permet apropar la Física i la seva realitat quotidiana, tant la tecnològica com la científica, a l'estudiantat mitjançant experiències i demostracions motivadores. En general, les pràctiques de laboratori se solen realitzar per parelles, encara que no necessàriament, propiciant un treball en equip. Ara bé, pensant en aquelles estudiantes i aquells estudiants que no poden seguir el calendari de sessions presencials establert, per raons justificables, s’ha generat un material docent innovador consistent en la filmació de vídeos d’algunes de les pràctiques que actualment s'estan duent a terme en el laboratori de Física de l'EPSEM. Les filmacions van acompanyades per uns tutorials que permeten introduir la pràctica i il·lustrar tots els conceptes teòrics que hi intervenen i algunes simulacions. A més, també hi ha disponible uns tests d'autoavaluació i d'avaluació que acreditin l'aprenentatge de l'estudiant. L’objectiu és procurar, a partir d’una experimentació virtual, minimitzar la manca d’adquisició d’algunes habilitats pròpies de l’experimentació real al laboratori. Els productes creats han estat inclosos en el web del Departament de Física Aplicada de la UPC a l'EPSEM, on es proporciona tot un conjunt d’eines i informacions pensades per facilitar una millor forma de treballar en un laboratori. En aquest web es poden trobar, les normes generals per a la realització de les pràctiques i per a l’elaboració dels informes preceptius, el guió i l’esquema del muntatge de cada experimentació, així com enllaços a webs relacionats amb la física, que poden resultar molt útils per a l’alumnat. El pas endavant que suposa el material desenvolupat, ampliable en un futur, és sens dubte una alternativa educativa complementaria per garantir una formació més integral de les nostres estudiantes i dels nostres estudiants, en correspondència amb l’esperit de fomentar l'autoaprenentatge que traspua el procés d'integració a l'EEES.

El diagnòstic precoç del càncer de pròstata fins a dia d’avui s’ha servit del tacte rectal, i els valors de PSA per establir quins pacients són sospitosos de patir aquesta afecció. Treballs recents estableixen que proves morfològiques com la ressonància magnètica, i funcionals com l’espectroscòpia ajudarien encara més a discriminar aquests pacients dels sans. En el nostre treball pretenem esbrinar; si l’ús de la ressonància magnètica amb espectroscòpia és igual d’eficient en el cas de que l’eventual càncer es localitzi a la glàndula central.

Predicting random level and seasonality of hotel prices. A structural equation growth curve approach
Resumo:
This article examines the effect on price of different characteristics of holiday hotels in the sun-and-beach segment, under the hedonic function perspective. Monthly prices of the majority of hotels in the Spanish continental Mediterranean coast are gathered from May to October 1999 from the tour operator catalogues. Hedonic functions are specified as random-effect models and parametrized as structural equation models with two latent variables, a random peak season price and a random width of seasonal fluctuations. Characteristics of the hotel and the region where they are located are used as predictors of both latent variables. Besides hotel category, region, distance to the beach, availability of parking place and room equipment have an effect on peak price and also on seasonality. 3- star hotels have the highest seasonality and hotels located in the southern regions the lowest, which could be explained by a warmer climate in autumn

In an earlier investigation (Burger et al., 2000) five sediment cores near the RodriguesTriple Junction in the Indian Ocean were studied applying classical statistical methods(fuzzy c-means clustering, linear mixing model, principal component analysis) for theextraction of endmembers and evaluating the spatial and temporal variation ofgeochemical signals. Three main factors of sedimentation were expected by the marinegeologists: a volcano-genetic, a hydro-hydrothermal and an ultra-basic factor. Thedisplay of fuzzy membership values and/or factor scores versus depth providedconsistent results for two factors only; the ultra-basic component could not beidentified. The reason for this may be that only traditional statistical methods wereapplied, i.e. the untransformed components were used and the cosine-theta coefficient assimilarity measure.During the last decade considerable progress in compositional data analysis was madeand many case studies were published using new tools for exploratory analysis of thesedata. Therefore it makes sense to check if the application of suitable data transformations,reduction of the D-part simplex to two or three factors and visualinterpretation of the factor scores would lead to a revision of earlier results and toanswers to open questions . In this paper we follow the lines of a paper of R. Tolosana-Delgado et al. (2005) starting with a problem-oriented interpretation of the biplotscattergram, extracting compositional factors, ilr-transformation of the components andvisualization of the factor scores in a spatial context: The compositional factors will beplotted versus depth (time) of the core samples in order to facilitate the identification ofthe expected sources of the sedimentary process.Kew words: compositional data analysis, biplot, deep sea sediments

El Pla d’Espais d’Interès Natural (PEIN) és una figura de planificació contemplada per la Llei 12/1985 d’espais naturals del Parlament de Catalunya. Cal assenyalar que el 1989 ja es va produir una primera exposició pública, en el transcurs de la qual el pla va patir fortes pressions, sobretot provinents d’associacions lligades al món rural, ja que són les més afectades per l’aprovació del pla, fet que va provocar el desenvolupament d’una nova versió presentada el setembre de 1992

In order to obtain a high-resolution Pleistocene stratigraphy, eleven continuouslycored boreholes, 100 to 220m deep were drilled in the northern part of the PoPlain by Regione Lombardia in the last five years. Quantitative provenanceanalysis (QPA, Weltje and von Eynatten, 2004) of Pleistocene sands was carriedout by using multivariate statistical analysis (principal component analysis, PCA,and similarity analysis) on an integrated data set, including high-resolution bulkpetrography and heavy-mineral analyses on Pleistocene sands and of 250 majorand minor modern rivers draining the southern flank of the Alps from West toEast (Garzanti et al, 2004; 2006). Prior to the onset of major Alpine glaciations,metamorphic and quartzofeldspathic detritus from the Western and Central Alpswas carried from the axial belt to the Po basin longitudinally parallel to theSouthAlpine belt by a trunk river (Vezzoli and Garzanti, 2008). This scenariorapidly changed during the marine isotope stage 22 (0.87 Ma), with the onset ofthe first major Pleistocene glaciation in the Alps (Muttoni et al, 2003). PCA andsimilarity analysis from core samples show that the longitudinal trunk river at thistime was shifted southward by the rapid southward and westward progradation oftransverse alluvial river systems fed from the Central and Southern Alps.Sediments were transported southward by braided river systems as well as glacialsediments transported by Alpine valley glaciers invaded the alluvial plain.Kew words: Detrital modes; Modern sands; Provenance; Principal ComponentsAnalysis; Similarity, Canberra Distance; palaeodrainage

Emergent molecular measurement methods, such as DNA microarray, qRTPCR, andmany others, offer tremendous promise for the personalized treatment of cancer. Thesetechnologies measure the amount of specific proteins, RNA, DNA or other moleculartargets from tumor specimens with the goal of “fingerprinting” individual cancers. Tumorspecimens are heterogeneous; an individual specimen typically contains unknownamounts of multiple tissues types. Thus, the measured molecular concentrations resultfrom an unknown mixture of tissue types, and must be normalized to account for thecomposition of the mixture.For example, a breast tumor biopsy may contain normal, dysplastic and cancerousepithelial cells, as well as stromal components (fatty and connective tissue) and bloodand lymphatic vessels. Our diagnostic interest focuses solely on the dysplastic andcancerous epithelial cells. The remaining tissue components serve to “contaminate”the signal of interest. The proportion of each of the tissue components changes asa function of patient characteristics (e.g., age), and varies spatially across the tumorregion. Because each of the tissue components produces a different molecular signature,and the amount of each tissue type is specimen dependent, we must estimate the tissuecomposition of the specimen, and adjust the molecular signal for this composition.Using the idea of a chemical mass balance, we consider the total measured concentrationsto be a weighted sum of the individual tissue signatures, where weightsare determined by the relative amounts of the different tissue types. We develop acompositional source apportionment model to estimate the relative amounts of tissuecomponents in a tumor specimen. We then use these estimates to infer the tissuespecificconcentrations of key molecular targets for sub-typing individual tumors. Weanticipate these specific measurements will greatly improve our ability to discriminatebetween different classes of tumors, and allow more precise matching of each patient tothe appropriate treatment

The Hardy-Weinberg law, formulated about 100 years ago, states that under certainassumptions, the three genotypes AA, AB and BB at a bi-allelic locus are expected to occur inthe proportions p2, 2pq, and q2 respectively, where p is the allele frequency of A, and q = 1-p.There are many statistical tests being used to check whether empirical marker data obeys theHardy-Weinberg principle. Among these are the classical xi-square test (with or withoutcontinuity correction), the likelihood ratio test, Fisher's Exact test, and exact tests in combinationwith Monte Carlo and Markov Chain algorithms. Tests for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE)are numerical in nature, requiring the computation of a test statistic and a p-value.There is however, ample space for the use of graphics in HWE tests, in particular for the ternaryplot. Nowadays, many genetical studies are using genetical markers known as SingleNucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). SNP data comes in the form of counts, but from the countsone typically computes genotype frequencies and allele frequencies. These frequencies satisfythe unit-sum constraint, and their analysis therefore falls within the realm of compositional dataanalysis (Aitchison, 1986). SNPs are usually bi-allelic, which implies that the genotypefrequencies can be adequately represented in a ternary plot. Compositions that are in exactHWE describe a parabola in the ternary plot. Compositions for which HWE cannot be rejected ina statistical test are typically “close" to the parabola, whereas compositions that differsignificantly from HWE are “far". By rewriting the statistics used to test for HWE in terms ofheterozygote frequencies, acceptance regions for HWE can be obtained that can be depicted inthe ternary plot. This way, compositions can be tested for HWE purely on the basis of theirposition in the ternary plot (Graffelman & Morales, 2008). This leads to nice graphicalrepresentations where large numbers of SNPs can be tested for HWE in a single graph. Severalexamples of graphical tests for HWE (implemented in R software), will be shown, using SNPdata from different human populations

The amalgamation operation is frequently used to reduce the number of parts of compositional data but it is a non-linear operation in the simplex with the usual geometry,the Aitchison geometry. The concept of balances between groups, a particular coordinate system designed over binary partitions of the parts, could be an alternative to theamalgamation in some cases. In this work we discuss the proper application of bothconcepts using a real data set corresponding to behavioral measures of pregnant sows
