Ontologia de Twitter : El primer pas per inferir informació dels tweets

En aquest treball es realitza un estudi sobre l'estat de l'art de la web semàntica i els seus estàndards actuals, més concretament sobre ontologies. Descriu també el procés pràctic emprat pel disseny i la implementació d'una ontologia en el domini concret de Twitter, en format OWL, fent servir l'aplicació Protégé per a la seva creació. Finalment explica la creació (captura de requeriments, disseny i implementació) d'una aplicació capaç d'obtenir dades reals de Twitter, processar-les per extreure'n la informació rellevant i emmagatzemar-la a la ontologia creada.

Ontologia de Twitter : El primer pas per inferir informació dels tweets

L'ontologia que s'ha dissenyat contempla els conceptes bàsics de Twitter, les relacions entre ells i les restriccions que cal respectar. L'ontologia s'ha dissenyat amb el programa Protégé i està disponible en format OWL. S'ha desenvolupat una aplicació per poblar l'ontologia amb els tweets que s'obtenen a partir d'una cerca a Twitter. L'accés a Twitter es fa via l'API que ofereix per accedir a les dades des d'aplicacions de tercers. El resultat de l'execució de l'aplicació és un fitxer RDF/XML amb les tripletes corresponents a les instàncies dels objectes en l'ontologia.

Tobacco control policies in hospitals before and after the implementation of a national smoking ban in Catalonia, Spain

Background: Diverse projects and guidelines to assist hospitals towards the attainment of comprehensive smoke-free policies have been developed. In 2006, Spain government passed a new smoking ban that reinforce tobacco control policies and banned completely smoking in hospitals. This study assesses the progression of tobacco control policies in the Catalan Network of Smokefree Hospitals before and after a comprehensive national smoking ban. Methods: We used the Self-Audit Questionnaire of the European Network for Smoke-free Hospitals to score the compliance of 9 policy standards (global score = 102). We used two crosssectional surveys to evaluate tobacco control policies before (2005) and after the implementation of a national smoking ban (2007) in 32 hospitals of Catalonia, Spain. We compared the means of the overall score in 2005 and 2007 according to the type of hospital, the number of beds, the prevalence of tobacco consumption, and the number of years as a smoke-free hospital. Results: The mean of the implementation score of tobacco control policies was 52.4 (95% CI:45.4-59.5) in 2005 and 71.6 (95% CI: 67.0-76.2) in 2007 with an increase of 36.7% (p < 0.01). The hospitals with greater improvement were general hospitals (48% increase; p < 0.01), hospitals with > 300 beds (41.1% increase; p < 0.01), hospitals with employees' tobacco consumption prevalence 35-39% (72.2% increase; p < 0.05) and hospitals that had recently implemented smoke-free policies (74.2% increase; p < 0.01). Conclusion: The national smoking ban appears to increase tobacco control activities in hospitals combined with other non-bylaw initiatives such as the Smoke-free Hospital Network.

Amartya Sen: Les racines globales de la démocratie. Pourquoi la liberté n"est pas une invention de l"Occident. Payot & Rivages, Paris, 2005

Según Amartya Sen,"la lucha por generalizar el modelo democrático en el mundo entero es el más grande desafío de nuestro tiempo". Sin embargo, continúa Sen, no sólo los secuestradores del proyecto democrático suponen un obstáculo para la realización de dicho proyecto, sino también dos críticas infundadas que suelen realizarse contra él.

Use of alternative and complementary therapies in labor and delivery care: a cross-sectional study of midwives" training in Catalan hospitals accredited as centers for normal birth

Background: The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and complementary and alternative therapies (CAT) during pregnancy is increasing. Scientific evidence for CAM and CAT in the field of obstetrics mainly covers pain relief in labor. Midwives are responsible for labor and delivery care: hence, their knowledge of CAM and CAT is important. The aims of this study are to describe the professional profile of midwives who provide care for natural childbirth in Catalan hospitals accredited as centers for normal birth, to assess midwives" level of training in CAT and their use of these therapies, and to identify specific resources for CAT in labor wards. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative method was used to assess the level of training and use of CAT by midwives working at 28 hospitals in Catalonia, Spain, accredited as public normal birth centers. Results: Just under a third of midwives (30.4%) trained in CAT after completion of basic training. They trained in an average of 5.97 therapies (SD 3.56). The number of CAT in which the midwives were trained correlated negatively with age (r = - 0.284; p < 0.001) and with their time working at the hospital in years (r = - 0.136; p = 0.036). Midwives trained in CAT considered that the following therapies were useful or very useful for pain relief during labor and delivery: relaxation techniques (64.3%), hydrotherapy (84.8%) and the application of compresses to the perineum (75.9%). The availability of resources for providing CAT during normal birth care varied widely from center to center. Conclusions: Age may influence attitudes towards training. It is important to increase the number of midwives trained in CAM for pain relief during childbirth, in order to promote the use of CAT and ensure efficiency and safety. CAT resources at accredited hospitals providing normal childbirth care should also be standardized.
