La construcción de La Papisa Juana de Emmanuil Roídis como novela histórica y a la vez «estudio de la Edad Media» convierte esta obra en una de las más eruditas de la literatura griega moderna. Entre sus múltiples fuentes, ...
Machine learning algorithms for systematic review: reducing workload in a preclinical review of animal studies and reducing human screening error
Background: Here, we outline a method of applying existing machine learning (ML) approaches to aid citation screening in an on-going broad and shallow systematic review of preclinical animal studies. The aim is to achieve ...
Introduction: the usefulness of science and culture as 'nationalization' tools in the early Franco regime
This introductory chapter pursues to present the historiographical objectives of the book, its theoretical foundations, the state of the question on the most relevant aspects linked to our topic, and the nature of the ...
Selective annotation of few data for beat tracking of Latin American music using rhythmic features
Training state-of-the-art beat tracking models usually requires large amounts of annotated data. It is widely known that data annotation is a time-consuming process and generally involves expert knowledge in the context ...
Improving reference prioritisation with PICO recognition
Background: Machine learning can assist with multiple tasks during systematic reviews to facilitate the rapid retrieval of relevant references during screening and to identify and extract information relevant to the study ...
The interpersonal entrainment in music performance data collection
The Interpersonal Entrainment in Music Performance Data Collection (IEMPDC) comprises six related corpora of music research materials: Cuban Son & Salsa (CSS), European String Quartet (ESQ), Malian Jembe (MJ), North ...
Multi-level differential network analysis of COPD exacerbations
Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often suffer episodes of exacerbation (ECOPD) that impact negatively the course of their disease. ECOPD are heterogeneous events of unclear pathobiology and ...
Pause and adaptation in the post-war period: the re-establishment of Spanish-German cultural diplomacy (1945-1958)
Marició Janué i Miret analyses the Spanish-German cultural diplomacy between the end of the Second World War and the end of the 1950s. The chapter asks about the consequences of the end of the war on German-Spanish cultural ...
Prioritising references for systematic reviews with RobotAnalyst: a user study
Screening references is a time-consuming step necessary for systematic reviews and guideline development. Previous studies have shown that human effort can be reduced by using machine learning software to prioritise large ...
A semi-supervised approach using label propagation to support citation screening
Citation screening, an integral process within systematic reviews that identifies citations relevant to the underlying research question, is a time-consuming and resource-intensive task. During the screening task, analysts ...
MeaningBERT: assessing meaning preservation between sentences
In the field of automatic text simplification, assessing whether or not the meaning of the original text has been preserved during simplification is of paramount importance. Metrics relying on n-gram overlap assessment may ...
Increased urinary erythropoietin excretion in severe sleep apnea-hipoapnea syndrome: the effect of CPAP
Introduction: Tissue hypoxia stimulates the production of erythropoietin (EPO), the main effect of which is, in turn, to stimulate erythropoiesis. Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) is an entity characterized by repeated ...
Effect of blood glucose level on standardized uptake value (SUV) in 18F- FDG PET-scan: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 20,807 individual SUV measurements
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of pre-scan blood glucose levels (BGL) on standardized uptake value (SUV) in 18F-FDG-PET scan. Methods: A literature review was performed in the MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane library ...
A ROS Gazebo plugin design to simulate RFID systems
Simulation, robotics, and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology have significant roles in the new industrial revolution and their applications are key aspects of making Industry 4.0 a reality. Developing efficient ...
A novel Spanish dataset for financial education text simplification targeting visually impaired individuals
Automatic Text Simplification (ATS) is a crucial task in natural language processing, aimed at making texts more comprehensible, particularly for specific groups such as individuals with visual impairments. One of the ...
Aesthetics of musical timing: culture and expertise affect preferences for isochrony but not synchrony
Expressive communication in the arts often involves deviations from stylistic norms, which can increase the aesthetic evaluation of an artwork or performance. The detection and appreciation of such expressive deviations ...
Generalisation of the identity method for determination of high-order moments of multiplicity distributions with a software implementation
The incomplete particle identification limits the experimentally-available phase space region for identified particle analysis. This problem affects ongoing fluctuation and correlation studies including the search for the ...
Trade openness and government size in the European Union: revisiting the compensation theory. A panel analysis of conditional government responses to globalization risks (2000-2019)
This paper examines the relationship between trade openness and government spending across 27 EU Member States from 2000 to 2019, testing the compensation theory, which posits that governments grow to offset the risks of ...
The BIOMEPOC project: personalized biomarkers and clinical profiles in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
