Adapting established instruments to build useful food sovereignty indicators

The recent context of global food emergency and ecological crisis has increased the relevance of people’s struggle for food sovereignty (FSv), which promotes the transformation of the dominant food system and claims ‘the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems’. Revisiting two Spanish and Catalan articles developing FSv indicators, this article aims at discussing the need and utility of developing FSv indicators at different territorial levels. Confronting these two territorial scales, the paper also identifies common steps that can facilitate other future processes of building FSv indicators. As a conclusion, the paper suggests that these processes of building indicators can contribute to providing political direction at different geographical scales for the implementation of the FSv proposal. At the same time, they favor the movement’s self-reflexivity in its practices while supporting the collective shaping of future actions

Prices versus exams as strategic instruments for competing universities

In this paper we investigate the optimal choice of prices and/or exams by universities in the presence of credit constraints. We first compare the optimal behavior of a public, welfare maximizing, monopoly and a private, profit maximizing, monopoly. Then we model competition between a public and a private institution and investigate the new role of exams/prices in this environment. We find that, under certain circumstances, the public university may have an interest to raise tuition fees from minimum levels if it cares for global welfare. This will be the case provided that (i) the private institution has higher quality and uses only prices to select applicants, or (ii) the private institution has lower quality and uses also exams to select students. When this is the case, there are efficiency grounds for raising public prices

Estudi i disseny d'un sistema de modificació tímbrica en instruments determinats a través d'anàlisi, filtratge i síntesi de senyal d'àudio digital

Aquest treball final de carrera sorgeix doncs d'una idea molt ambiciosa: crear un sistema de processat de senyal digital que permetés, a temps real, convertir un timbre d'un instrument determinat a un altre, és a dir, a través d'un micròfon que capti el so d'un instrument, com ara el clarinet, analitzar i processar mitjançant programari d'ordinador aquest so d'entrada. Conseqüentment, convertir-lo per poder percebre'l a través dels altaveus com a so d'un altre instrument. D'aquesta manera, un músic amb habilitats per tocar el clarinet, mitjançant aquesta eina podria simular so de saxo, trompeta, etc., sense haver de recórrer a un sintetitzador ni a altres instruments MIDI.

Avoimen lähdekoodin musiikkiteknologia

Musiikkiteknologia on laaja soveltava tieteenala, jota voidaan hyödyntää kasvatustieteissä, psykologiassa ja kognitiivisissa tieteissä. Musiikkilaitteet ja ohjelmistot hyödyntävät tietotekniikkaa. Musiikkiteknologian ohjelmat ovat joko kaupallisia tai pohjautuvat avoimen lähdekoodin ajatteluun. Tässä työssä kartoitin Linuxin avoimen lähdekoodin virtuaaliinstrumentit sekä toteutin rumpukoneen, kosketinsoittimen ja yksinkertaisen karaokeohjelman mobiilille laitteelle. Tehty työ osoittaa, että tietoteknisin keinoin voidaan toteuttaa tutkimushankkeissa hyödynnettäviä musiikkiteknologian ohjelmia.
