Generador de Comunitats Virtuals

La Diputació de Barcelona planteja la possibilitat de fer un projecte per a generar comunitats virtuals (GCV), definit en diversos mòduls. L'abast del projecte i l'anàlisi funcional general s'especifica en el document Anàlisi funcional del GCV. En aquest informe es presenta el disseny i la construcció del projecte respecte al mòdul 'Fòrum' i el mòdul 'Notícies'. Com a llenguatge de desenvolupament, s'ha fet servir Java amb l'arquitectura J2EE. En l'apartat de disseny arquitectònic s'especifiquen les eines emprades amb més detall.

Projecte COMMusic

Construcció d'un portal Web per a COMMusic, una famosa empresa de venda de música per Internet. Aquest portal web haurà de permetre l'accés a tres tipus d'usuaris: públic en general, socis i empleats de la botiga. La implementació de tota l'aplicació, ha estat realitzada en el llenguatge Java. S'ha obtat per seguir una arquitectura J2EE, d'aquesta manera ens ha permès realitzar una aplicació robusta, escalable i altament reutilitzable.

Virtual Book Store

L'objectiu final d'aquest projecte és el seguiment del procés d'enginyeria per al desenvolupament d'una botiga virtual on s'apliquin els conceptes de J2EE, que són les sigles de Java 2 Enterprise Edition.

Modelling and Prospects for Audience Measurement of Outdoor Advertising using GPS Devices

The paper describes how to integrate audience measurement and site visibility as the main research approaches in outdoor advertising research in a single concept. Details are portrayed on how GPS is used on a large scale in Switzerland for mobility analysis and audience measurement. Furthermore, the development of a software solution is introduced that allows the integration of all mobility data and poster location information. Finally a model and its results is presented for the calculation of coverage of individual poster campaigns and for the calculation of the number of contacts generated by each billboard.

Aplicació web per a la consulta i gestió de les benzineres estatals

El treball que a continuació es presenta consisteix en l'anàlisi, el disseny i la implementació d'una aplicació web que permeti, principalment, la consulta de preus dels combustibles de les benzineres estatals. La plataforma tecnològica escollida ha estat J2EE ja que aquesta tecnologia, basada principalment en el llenguatge Java, permet programar i executar aplicacions en un servidor d'una forma econòmica i alhora professional. L'aplicació segueix principalment el patró arquitectònic MVC (Model Vista Controlador), utilitzant com a marc de treball Struts2 i per a la persistència de dades Hibernate juntament amb el patró DAO.

Counsellor behaviours and patient language during brief motivational interventions: a sequential analysis of speech

AIMS: To investigate empirically the hypothesized relationship between counsellor motivational interviewing (MI) skills and patient change talk (CT) by analysing the articulation between counsellor behaviours and patient language during brief motivational interventions (BMI) addressing at-risk alcohol consumption. DESIGN: Sequential analysis of psycholinguistic codes obtained by two independent raters using the Motivational Interviewing Skill Code (MISC), version 2.0. SETTING: Secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of BMI in an emergency department. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 97 patients tape-recorded when receiving BMI. MEASUREMENTS: MISC variables were categorized into three counsellor behaviours (MI-consistent, MI-inconsistent and 'other') and three kinds of patient language (CT, counter-CT (CCT) and utterances not linked with the alcohol topic). Observed transition frequencies, conditional probabilities and significance levels based on odds ratios were computed using sequential analysis software. FINDINGS: MI-consistent behaviours were the only counsellor behaviours that were significantly more likely to be followed by patient CT. Those behaviours were significantly more likely to be followed by patient change exploration (CT and CCT) while MI-inconsistent behaviours and 'other' counsellor behaviours were significantly more likely to be followed by utterances not linked with the alcohol topic and significantly less likely to be followed by CT. MI-consistent behaviours were more likely after change exploration, whereas 'other' counsellor behaviours were more likely only after utterances not linked with the alcohol topic. CONCLUSIONS: Findings lend support to the hypothesized relationship between MI-consistent behaviours and CT, highlight the importance of patient influence on counsellor behaviour and emphasize the usefulness of MI techniques and spirit during brief interventions targeting change enhancement.
