Resumen El cáncer es una enfermedad genética compleja con opciones terapéuticas limitadas, debido a la heterogeneidad tumoral y a la aparición de multirresistencia a los fármacos. La vía metabólica de los esfingolípidos (SL) se caracteriza por ser capaz de integrar diferentes tipos de señales de estrés celular y definir la supervivencia celular. Por lo tanto, sugerimos estudiar las perturbaciones en la vía de los esfingolípidos (SLP) causadas por fármacos quimioterapéuticos utilizando un enfoque de biología de sistemas y evaluar su funcionalidad como sensor de respuesta a fármacos. Usamos un sensor de esfingomielina-BODIPY (SMBOD) para estudiar el metabolismo de SL mediante citometría de flujo e imágenes de células vivas en diferentes modelos de cáncer. Para decodificar la complejidad de la ruta, implementamos modelos de mezcla gaussianos, modelos de ecuaciones diferenciales ordinarias, algoritmos de clasificación no supervisados y un modelo de lógica difusa para evaluar su utilidad como sensor de respuesta a la quimioterapia. Nuestros resultados muestran que los fármacos quimioterapéuticos perturban la SLP de diferentes formas y de una manera específica de la línea celular. Además, encontramos que pocas características de fluorescencia de SM-BOD predicen la quimiosensibilidad con alta precisión. Finalmente, encontramos que la composición relativa de especies de SL parece contribuir a la citotoxicidad resultante de muchos tratamientos. Este informe ofrece un marco conceptual y matemático para desarrollar modelos matemáticos personalizados para predecir y mejorar la terapia del cáncer. Abstract Cancer is a complex genetic disease with reduced treatment alternatives due to tumor heterogeneity and drug multiresistance emergence. The sphingolipid (SL) metabolic pathway integrates different responses of cellular stress signals and defines cell survival. Therefore, we suggest studying the perturbations on the sphingolipid pathway (SLP) caused by chemotherapeutic drugs using a systems biology approach to evaluate its functionality as a drug response sensor. We used a sphingomyelin-BODIPY (SM-BOD) sensor to study SL metabolism by flow cytometry and live cell imaging in different cancer models. To decode pathway complexity, we implemented Gussian mixture models, ordinary differential equations models, unsupervised classification algorithms and a fuzzy logic approach to assess its utility as a chemotherapy response sensor. Our results show that chemotherapeutic drugs perturb the SLP in different ways in a cell line-specific manner. In addition, we found that few SM-BOD fluorescence features predict chemosensitivity with high accuracy. Finally, we found that the relative species composition of SL appears to contribute to the resulting cytotoxicity of many treatments. This report offers a conceptual and mathematical framework for developing personalized mathematical models to predict and improve cancer therapy.

The adaptive thermal comfort concept has been developed over many years and proven in numerous field studies (e.g. Webb 1964, Nicol and Humphreys 1973, Auliciems 1981b, de Dear et al. 1997, McCartney and Nicol 2002, Manu et al. 2016), showing that people are satisfied with a wide range of thermal conditions. Prerequisite is that people are provided with means to make themselves comfortable, that they know which opportunities they have, that it is socially acceptable to use these opportunities and that they are willing to use them (Hellwig, 2015). However, the overall understanding of how to design for such opportunities enabling the occupant to make themselves comfortable in relation to climate and building type, thus how to convert the adaptive thermal comfort concept into building design and concepts for operating buildings, is still limited. There are still common misunderstandings in the interpretation of the adaptive comfort approach among building planners and operators e.g. regarding the amount of control, the seriousness of this topic or the level of information needed by occupants for which reason guidance (e.g. CIBSE 2010, Cook et al. 2020) and knowledge transfer (e.g. Hellwig and Boerstra 2017, 2018) is absolutely essential. Consequently, there is still a gap between scientific research and real-world-application, which this report aims to diminish.In line with the activities within IEA EBC Annex 69 Subtasks A, B, and C, the present report includes four main sections, addressing the above listed identified challenges and barriers to the adoption of the adaptive thermal comfort in practice by explaining the adaptive thermal comfort principles, by illustrating the benefits from applying the adaptive principles in buildings, through guidance on how to implement the adaptive principles in the design and operation of buildings, especially providing guidance on how to design for adaptive opportunities. The Appendices contain additional information on standards, checklists for stakeholders in the design and operation of buildings as well as documentation and lessons learnt from the buildings investigated within this Annex 69 Subtask C. This report is formulated with the help of frameworks (Hellwig et al. 2019, Hellwig et al. 2020) developed to facilitate the adoption of adaptive principles in the design and operation of buildings. We aim to provide the knowledge on a general level of understanding, so that it is possible to apply the knowledge in different types of building usage, different climate zones and occupant groups. However, the majority of examples used in this report stems from office buildings, which is mainly rooted in the fact that the majority of research studies focussed on this type of building. Nevertheless, we have supplemented this report with examples from other building types. The target group of the guidelines in this report are building planners (architects, engineers, sustainability certification consultants/councils) and building operators (facility managers, operators, owners, and tenants). Furthermore, the guidelines in this report are intended as critical sources and guidance to educate future building professionals and stakeholders.The report includes four main sections, as outlined below.Section 2 summarises the three adaptive comfort principles, i.e. physiological, behavioural and psychological adaptation. The section follows with a discussion on the effectiveness of the adaptive principles and on the order of activation of adaptive responses. It ends with a brief account on the development of adaptive models.Section 3 describes the benefits from applying the adaptive principles in buildings, including energy savings, resilience to climate change, improved usability and thermal satisfaction, as well as improved health and well-being.Section 4 presents the developed framework for adopting the adaptive comfort principles in design and operation of buildings. The main elements of the framework are described, i.e. the building context, adaptive responses and actions, the building planning and design, –the adaptive opportunities design, and the operational planning and operation. Each of these subsections includes guidelines to facilitate the integration of adaptive principles. Section 4 ends with considerations and recommendations for adopting adaptive comfort in conditioned buildings, including advice for facilitating free-running mode in building operation as often as possible and ways to integrate the use of the adaptive principles in permanently or long-season conditioned spaces.AppendicesAppendix 1 summarises information on adaptive models used in international and national standards, as well as examples of models developed by research in various locations and climates.Appendix 2 provides checklists of parameters that can help stakeholders implement measures to ensure the availability of adaptive opportunities in buildings.Appendix 3 is a collation of case studies with practical learnings from adaptive buildings investigated in Annex 69 Subtask C.Appendix 4 lists publications, presentations and workshops related to Activity B2 of IEA EBC Annex 69.Authors of main report on guidelines, Appendix 1, 2, 4 worked out in Subtask B, Activity B2Lead: Runa T.

The development of digital twins leads to the pathway toward intelligent buildings. Today, the overwhelming rate of data in buildings carries a high amount of information that can provide an opportunity for a digital representation of the buildings and energy optimization strategies in the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. To implement a successful energy management strategy in a building, a data-driven approach should accurately forecast the HVAC features, in particular the indoor temperatures. Accurate predictions not only increase thermal comfort levels, but also play a crucial role in saving energy consumption. This study aims to investigate the capabilities of data-driven approaches and the development of a model for predicting indoor temperatures. A case study of an educational building is considered to forecast indoor temperatures using machine learning and deep learning algorithms. The algorithms' performance is evaluated and compared. The important model parameters are sorted out before choosing the best architecture. Considering real data, prediction models are created for indoor temperatures. The results reveal that all the investigated models are successful in predicting indoor temperatures. Hence, the proposed deep neural network model obtained the highest accuracy with an average RMSE of 0.16 °C, which renders it the best candidate for the development of a digital twin.

Introduction: The scientific discipline of bioinformatics has innovative applications for human societies. Costa Rica, small in size and population compared to other Latin American countries, has been progressively adopting the discipline. Recognizing progress can help us determine where we want to go as a country, as well as how we can contribute to the Latin American region. Objective: This manuscript reviews the impact of bioinformatics research in Costa Rica, the application of the science, the challenges and opportunities in its development, and its potential contribution to society. Methods: We evaluate progress in this research area, so we look for data from publications and sequence repositories, as well as information on training activities, networks, infrastructure, web pages and funding sources. Results: We have seen important advances since 2010, including an increase in training opportunities and the number of publications, significant contributions to the sequence databases and connections through networks. However, certain areas, such as critical mass, mapping of research groups, and funding require more attention. Conclusions: We suggest that to benefit from bioinformatics applications, three key aspects must be strengthened: the scientific community, the research infrastructure, and funding opportunities. The scientific community and its sponsors should promote bioinformatics-based research, invest in the training of graduate students, increase professional training, create career opportunities in bioinformatics, and promote international collaborations through networks. The impact of such investment would be the development of ambitious but feasible projects and extended collaborations within the Latin American region. This would allow significant contributions to be made to address global challenges and the application of new approaches to research, innovation and knowledge transfer for the development of the economy, always considering the ethics of research. Introducción: La disciplina científica de la bioinformática tiene aplicaciones innovadoras para las sociedades humanas. Costa Rica, pequeña en tamaño y población en comparación con otros países de América Latina, ha ido adoptando la disciplina de manera progresiva. Reconocer los avances puede ayudarnos a determinar hacia dónde queremos ir como país, así como también cómo podemos contribuir a la región latinoamericana. Objetivos: Este manuscrito revisa el impacto de la investigación bioinformática en Costa Rica, la aplicación de la ciencia, los desafíos y oportunidades en su desarrollo y su potencial contribución a la sociedad. Métodos: Evaluamos los avances en este campo de investigación, por lo que buscamos datos de publicaciones y repositorios de secuencias, así como información de actividades de capacitación, redes, infraestructura, páginas web y fuentes de financiamiento. Resultados: Observamos avances importantes desde el año 2010, incluyendo un aumento en oportunidades de entrenamiento y número de publicaciones, aportes significativos a las bases de datos de secuencias y conexiones por medio de redes. Sin embargo, ciertas áreas, como la masa crítica, el mapeo de grupos de investigación y la financiación requieren más atención. Conclusiones: Sugerimos que para beneficiarse de las aplicaciones de la bioinformática se deben fortalecer tres aspectos clave: la comunidad científica, la infraestructura de investigación y las oportunidades de financiamiento. La comunidad científica y sus patrocinadores deben promover la investigación basada en bioinformática, invertir en la formación de estudiantes de posgrado, aumentar la formación de profesionales, crear oportunidades laborales para carreras en bioinformática y promover colaboraciones internacionales a través de redes. El impacto de tal inversión sería el desarrollo de proyectos ambiciosos pero factibles y colaboraciones extendidas dentro de la región latinoamericana. Esto permitiría realizar contribuciones significativas para abordar los desafíos globales y la aplicación de nuevos enfoques de investigación, innovación y transferencia de conocimiento para el desarrollo de la economía, siempre considerando la ética de la investigación.

Sobre la apertura de pasajes peatonales ejecutados por el Municipio de Providencia a partir de 1970, se expone y evalúa la propuesta inicial versus su desarrollo durante los últimos treinta años, al tiempo que se examinan los cambios normativos que la operación ha desencadenado. Destaca la continuidad del proceso en el tiempo, que ha podido adaptarse a los cambios políticos y a los no menos importantes vaivenes económicos del país. Un conjunto de factores parecen haber hecho posible este proceso: un equipo técnico municipal visionario y pragmático con respaldo político de la autoridad, implementando una gestión urbana que ha aunado constanciapara la persecución de los objetivos fundamentales y flexibilidad para la adaptación de la normativa y de los lugares de intervención planificados originalmente./The author of this article analyzes and evaluates the original project of the pedestrian sidestreets by the Municipality of Providencia and the development of said project from 1970 and the following 30 years, also the normative changes caused by the completion of the project are examined here. The process of opening these pedestrian streets has had continuity through time, being able to adapt to the political changes and the considerable economic fluctuations. Some of the factors that have made possible this process are: the municipal technical team that was visionary and pragmatic and also had the political back up of the ones in power. There has been a constant persecution of the fundamental goals of the project and also there has been flexibility to adapt to the normative factors and the places where the intervention was originally planned.

La presente investigación tiene como finalidad establecer la viabilidad comercial, financiera y técnica de la implementación de una planta productora de cerveza artesanal de tipo Blonde Ale a base de Kiwicha. Este tipo de cervezas se diferencian por el uso de insumos 100% naturales, dándoles un sabor único, además de ser la única cerveza artesanal de tipo Blonde Ale elaborada con kiwicha en el mercado peruano. Esta industria se encuentra en crecimiento en nuestro país, haciendo del mercado cervecero artesanal un buen lugar para incursionar. El producto se definió como una botella de vidrio de 330 ml que se comercializará a los diversos restaurantes y bares de Lima que estén interesados en la venta de este tipo de productos. Se estima que para el 2024 la demanda del proyecto será de 81,057.79 litros de cerveza. Este número se pudo obtener calculando previamente la demanda interna aparente de cerveza en el país, segmentando por niveles socioeconómicos (A y B) y por edades (mayores a 18 y menores a 65 años), determinando el porcentaje poblacional de Lima Metropolitana y determinando la intensidad de compra (obtenida de una muestra de 66 personas, con un nivel de confianza de 95% y con un porcentaje de error de 5%). Posteriormente, se realizó una evaluación para determinar la localización de la planta productora. Primero, se analizó la macro localización evaluando, entre tres posibles locaciones, donde Lima Metropolitana fue el lugar elegido. Por último, se determinó la viabilidad técnica del proyecto de acuerdo a los procesos y equipos involucrados en el proceso productivo. Se calculó la capacidad instalada de la planta y su cumplimiento con la demanda del proyecto. Finalmente, se realizó un estudio económico financiero con su respectivo análisis de sensibilidad. Como resultado se calcula un TIR económico de 60.19% y financiero de 88.86%, volviendo al proyecto viable. Asimismo, se concluyó que las variables más sensibles del proyecto son el precio de venta y el costo de producción. The purpose of this investigation is to stablish the commercial, financial and technical viability of the implementation of a craft beer producing plant of the type Blonde Ale based on Kiwicha. This type of beer differs by the use of 100% natural ingredients, giving it a unique flavor, also this beer is the only craft beer in the peruvian market made with Kiwicha. This industry is growing in our country, making the craft beer market a good place to venture. The product was defined as a 330 ml bottle that will be sell to several restaurants and bars in Lima, which are interest in the sale of this type of products. It is estimated that by 2024 the demand of this project will be 81,057.79 liters of beer. This number is by previously calculate the apparent demand of beer in our country segmented by socioeconomic levels (A and B) and by age (over 18 and under 65), establish the population percent of Metropolitan Lima and determining the purchase intensity (obtained from a sample of 66 people, with a confidence level of 95% and an error rate of 5%). Then, an evaluation was carried out to determine the location of our production plant. First, the macro location was analyzed by evaluating, among three possible locations, where Metropolitan Lima was the chosen place. Finally, the technical viability of the project was determined according to the processes and equipment involved in the production process. The installed capacity of the plant and its compliance with the project demand were calculated. Finally, an economic-financial study was carried out with its respective sensitivity analysis. As a result, an economic IRR of 60.19% and a financial IRR of 88.86% are calculated, making the project viable. Likewise, it was concluded that the most sensitive variables of the project are the sale price and the cost of production.

Moreno Mora, Rodrigo and Escolano Utrilla, Severino
- Abstract
El enfoque tradicional de los movimientos de población tanto internos como externos se ha centrado principalmente en las grandes ciudades o áreas metropolitanas, pero hoy en día ha cambiado este interés, poniendo atención en las ciudades intermedias.Un ejemplo de ello es el caso de la ciudad intermedia de Antofagasta (Chile), la cual se ubica como la tercera ciudad del país con mayor presencia de inmigrantes, destacando el colectivo colombiano.El aumento de dicho colectivo, no solo se ha traducido en un incremento del total de población de la ciudad de Antofagasta, sino en una serie de transformaciones socio-territoriales, que han redibujado la estructura y funciones de la ciudad. De ahí la importancia de conocer la configuración espacial que adopta esta agrupación en la ciudad, específicamente identificar las zonas que presentan mayor vulnerabilidad urbana, zonas que acentúan la fragilidad social y tensionan las dinámicas territoriales.De esta forma la presente investigación busca analizar el patrón espacial y distribución que adopta la vulnerabilidad urbana para el colectivo colombiano en la ciudad de Antofagasta. Para ello se recurrirá a los datos proporcionados por el XIX Censo Nacional de Población y VIII de Vivienda 2017, considerando específicamente la dimensión “Persona”. El procesamiento de dicha información considerara el enfoque metodológico Multicriterio complementado con la aplicación de los índices de Moran Global y Local, para obtener como resultado la identificación los desequilibrios territoriales (zonas más vulnerables) dentro dela ciudad, lo que será sistematizado y espacializado mediante el apoyo de los sistemas de información geográfica.

- Abstract
This research work was developed with the group of workers from the Works Execution Unit of the University of Cuenca. The universe of study was of 31 workers whose positions are bricklayer, bricklayer's assistant, electricians, mechanics and gardeners, who carry out construction and maintenance activities of minor works. The investigation was carried out in three parts, the first was the analysis of the current situation of the company in matters of legal technical compliance according to the regulations of companies with more than 10 workers, the second part was the analysis of the climate of safety through the application of the Nordic Questionnaire NOSAQ-50 and the third part was the application of the Antecedent - Behavior - Consequence model with the analysis of the causes of occupational accidents that occurred in the Executing Unit of works in the period 2016-2019 and the application of the Observations of substandard acts through the NTP 386. Once all these steps had been applied, the Behavior-Based Safety Program was drawn up.

Interessen for islam og muslimer har vært økende siden terrorangrepet 11.sept 2001. Mediebilde har sjeldent vært til fordel for muslimer og islam som religion blir ofte forbundet med terror og krig. Tydeligst har disse holdningene blitt promotert i vestlige land, men misnøyen mot islam og muslimer er noe som har preget hele verdensbildet de siste tjue årene. Norge kan likevel sees på som et av de vestlige landene hvor det tok lengst tid å få etablert en debatt som var direkte rette mot norske muslimer. Denne oppgaven tar for seg starten av den norske isladebatten med det formålet å analysere diskursen som var med å forme debatten videre. Gjennom analyse av avisartikler som er direkte knyttet til muslimer i Norge, var analysen med på å gi en forståelse av hvordan språket gjorde rede for diskursen som videre bidro å forme det politiske landskapet slik vi kjenner det i dag. Denne forskningen tar for seg de syv første årene fra år 2000 fram til 2007. Den er med på å gi en oversikt over de mest relevante aktørene i debatten og hvordan de gjennom diskurs har bidratt til å definere den rollen norsk-islam har fått i det offentlige rom. Forskningsspørsmålet mitt er tilknyttet til det teoretiske rammeverket som er satt til denne oppgaven. Teoriene er hentet fra Talal Asads bok Formation of the Secualar (2003) der Asad tar for seg blant annet vestens forhold til islam og muslimer fra et historisk perspektiv. Asads teorier ble i denne oppgaven brukt i forhold til analysen av den norske islamdebatten. Der jeg har veid og evaluert nytten de har for den norske islamdebatten. I analysen av den norske islamdebatten benyttet jeg meg av Faircloughs Kritiske diskursanalyse. Faircloughs metodikk var et godt verktøy for å finne ut av hvordan diskurs former og blir formet av sosiale relasjoner. Faircloughs tilnærming har også fokus på maktrelasjonene som formes av diskursen. Blant mine hovedfunn i analysen av den norske islamdebatten var at det oppsto en ny gruppe muslimer som var mer tilpasset det som ble etterspurt fra konservative aktører på høyre siden av politikken. Disse funnen gjorde grunnarbeidet som jeg benyttet for å veie og evaluere mine funn i forhold til Asads teorier om muslimers plass i vestlige sekulære stater. Asads teorier viste seg både som nyttige og til tider upraktiske i forhold til å kunne danne et mer nyansert bilde av den norske islamdebatten.

- Abstract
Thermal comfort research has been traditionally based on cross-sectional studies and spatial aggregation of individual surveys at building level. This research design is susceptible to compositional effects and may lead to error in identifying predictors to thermal comfort indices, in particular in relation to adaptive mechanisms. A relationship between comfort and different predictors can be true at an individual level but not evident at the building level. In addition, cross-sectional studies overlook temporal changes in individual thermal perception due to contextual factors. To address these limitations, this study applied a longitudinal research design over 8 to 21 months in eight buildings located in six countries around the world. The dataset comprises of 5,567 individual thermal comfort surveys from 258 participants. The analysis aggregated survey responses at participant level and clustered participants according to their thermal sensation votes (TSV). Four TSV clusters were introduced, representing four different thermal sensation traits. Further analysis reviewed the probability of cluster membership in relation to demographic characteristics and behavioural adaptation. Finally, the analysis at individual level enabled the introduction of a new metric, the thermal zone (Zt), which in this study ranges from 21.5°C to 26.6°C. The thermal sensation traits and person-centric thermal zone (Zt) are a first step into the development of new metrics incorporating individual perceived comfort into dynamic building controls for adaptive buildings.

- Abstract
At present, the management of occupational risk prevention is quite technical, so that it is possible to identify, measure, eliminate or mitigate occupational hazards and occupational diseases, however, it has been neglected to change unsafe behaviors to safe behaviors, as well as transforming the perception that workers have against the prevention of occupational hazards to a win-win perception between the worker and the organization in such a way that it generates a value of importance and benefit for both staff and managers of the companies. This academic essay proposes to use certain tools of Neurolinguistic Programming as a support in the prevention of occupational hazards, for which four essential points have been estimated in this essay: the first point is to determine the perception that workers of Ecuadorian SMEs have on the prevention of occupational hazards using the Occupational Health-Safety Indicator Test (ISL); the second point is to list the substandard acts that are most repeated in companies; as a third point, neurolinguistic programming techniques that can help in the management of occupational risk prevention are mentioned; Finally, in the fourth point some playful methods are presented that are applied and that have had a great impact on the prevention of occupational hazards in other countries such as Peru and Spain.

- Abstract
- Most empirical research on spatial patterns of intra-urban residential mobility has been based on the study of the inflow and outflow recorded in various spatial units. This approach does not allow for the definition of migratory areas by the origin, destination and intensity of residential mobility. Here the spatial types and structure of residential mobility in the communes of the Santiago Metropolitan Region (RMS) are studied using individual data on changes of residence between communes. Combining the application of spatial analysis methods and the analysis of geosocial networks has demonstrated: a) the complex and fairly well-integrated nature of the network of residential movements; b) the major influence of geographical proximity on changes of residence; and c) notable territorial differences in the effects of changes of residence on socio-spatial diversification. As a whole, the functional and spatial structure of residential mobility is consistent with the processes of expansion and physical, social and functional fragmentation of the RMS., Resumen: - La mayor parte de la investigación empírica sobre los patrones espaciales de movilidad residencial intraurbana se ha llevado a cabo a partir del estudio de los balances de entradas y salidas registradas en diversas unidades espaciales. Esta aproximación no permite delimitar áreas migratorias definidas según el origen, destino e intensidad de la movilidad residencial. Aquí se estudian los tipos espaciales de la movilidad residencial y su estructura en las comunas de la Región Metropolitana de Santiago (RMS) utilizando datos individuales del cambio de residencia entre comunas. La aplicación combinada de métodos de análisis espacial y de análisis de redes geosociales, ha puesto de manifiesto: a) el carácter complejo y bastante integrado de la red de movimientos residenciales; b) la gran influencia de la proximidad geográfica en los cambios de residencia y c) los efectos de los cambios de residencia en la diversificación socioespacial presentan notables diferencias territoriales. En conjunto, la estructura funcional y espacial de la movilidad residencial es coherente con los procesos de expansión y fragmentación física, social y funcional de la RMS.

- Abstract
The present work prior to obtaining the title of Master in Occupational Health and Safety whose objective is to evaluate the level of academic stress of the Pre-graduate students of the Faculty of Chemical Sciences of the University of Cuenca to propose preventive measures for the students of this Faculty the study was conducted with a sample of 295 students, to whom the SISCO inventory of modified academic stress was applied and a small questionnaire to collect sociodemographic data. The data was collected during the academic period between the months of March and July 2019. The results showed a statistical significance between high levels of stress and sociodemographic factors such as: female sex, the existence of family burdens, the place of Provenance, marital status (different from single), occupation (people who study and work) and the career they study. Similarly, correlation levels were found between high levels of stress and stress factors such as: time overload, academic performance, types of work, a poor understanding of the subjects of studies, second enrollment, final exams, poor grades, Limited time for homework delivery. Furthermore, the study identified a statistical correlation between high levels of stress and symptoms such as chronic fatigue, feelings of sadness, anxiety, concentration problems, and negative emotions such as irritability. Based on these results, measures were proposed that prevent the appearance of the most common symptoms.

Computer support for conceptual design of building structures is still ineffective, mainly because existing structural engineering applications fail to recognize that structural design and architectural design are highly interdependent processes. This paper describes a computer representation called StAr (structure-architecture), aimed to act as a common basis for collaboration between architects and engineers during conceptual structural design. The StAr representation describes the structural system as a hierarchy of entities with architectural counterparts, which enables the direct integration of the structural system to the building architecture as well as engineering feedbacks to the architect at various abstraction levels. The hierarchical structural description implements a top-down design approach where high-level structural entities, which are defined first, facilitate the configuration of lower-level entities whose functions in turn contribute to those of the higher-level wholes that they belong to. The representation has been built on top of a geometric modeling kernel that allows reasoning based on the geometry and topology of the design model, which is paramount during early design stages. A proof-of-concept software prototype, called StAr prototype, has been developed and a test example demonstrates how the representation can support the different activities that take place during the conceptual design of building structures.

climate context ,building design ,adaptive thermal comfort ,control ,energy efficiency - Abstract
One of the major challenges of building industry today is to provide indoor spaces allowing the occupants to make themselves comfortable while achieving low energy consumption. Considering the observed increasing temperatures and a more extreme climate, this becomes even more urgent and difficult to accomplish. It is therefore necessary to rely on approaches than contribute to sustainable building design, such as the adaptive approach to thermal comfort which postulates that people are not passive recipients of their environment but adapt behaviourally, physiologically and psychologically. The concept of adaptive thermal comfort was formulated many decades ago and has been validated in numerous field studies. Temperature thresholds based on adaptive models have been included in international and national standards. However, the overall understanding of how to translate the adaptive principles into design practice and concepts for operating buildings is still limited. Subtask B of IEA Annex 69 addresses this gap: "Strategy and practice of adaptive thermal comfort in low energy buildings". The subtask aims to develop guidelines for low energy buildings that include the principle of adaptive comfort. This paper discusses the challenges and gaps identified in using the principles of adaptive thermal comfort in building design and operation and outlines the contents of the imminent guideline.

Resumen Durante el quinquenio 1997-2002, las migraciones residenciales entre las ciudades chilenas mayores de 50.000 habitantes mantuvieron la intensidad que tenían diez años antes frente al descenso de este tipo de movilidad que, en el mismo período, se registró entre las ciudades de tamaño inferior a este umbral. Mediante el modelado y la aplicación de métodos de análisis de redes a los flujos migratorios bilaterales entre ciudades -obtenidos a partir de microdatos censales-, se ha constatado que los movimientos residenciales interurbanos presentan una estructura muy polarizada y estable, pero compatible con una notable dinámica de cambios en la dirección y magnitud de los flujos. La organización espacial de las migraciones interurbanas comprende varios niveles y escalas, cuya jerarquía y articulación se asocian fuertemente a la configuración de la red urbana, es decir, a la distribución espacial de las ciudades, de la población y de la especialización de las actividades económicas. En el período y materia investigados, ha decrecido ligeramente la concentración de los destinos de la movilidad residencial, pero no se observa un proceso de descentralización intenso y generalizado. Abstract Over the 1997-2002 period, residential migrations among Chilean cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants maintained the intensity they had had ten years earlier which contrasts with the decrease in this type of mobility in smaller cities during the same period under review. Through the modeling and implementation of network analysis methods to the bilateral migratory flows between cities -collected through census microdata- it is revealed that interurban residential mobility is highly polarized, stable and compatible with a remarkable dynamic of changes in the direction and magnitude of flows. The spatial organization of interurban migrations has different levels and scales, whose hierarchy and ways of integration are strongly associated with the configuration of urban networks, that is, the spatial distribution of cities, population and specialization of economic activities. Although the material from the period under review shows a slight decrease in the destinations for residential mobility, there are no signs of an intense and widespread decentralization process.

- Abstract
Background: International autoantibody standards, traditionally based on material obtained from plasmapheresis of single subjects, represent individual immune response and may not comprehend the heterogeneity of the general population. The anti-DFS70 autoantibody yields a characteristic dense fine speckled (DFS) nuclear pattern on indirect immunofluorescence assay on HEp-2 cells (HEp-2 IFA) and speaks against autoimmunity. We propose a novel strategy for developing autoantibody reference standards, based on stepwise pooling of serum samples from hundreds of individuals with anti-DFS70 antibodies. Methods: Within a 2-year period, serum samples were selected from routine HEp-2 IFA according to the following criteria: DFS HEp-2 IFA pattern at titer >= 1:640; anti-DFS70 reactivity in three analyte-specific tests (Western blot [WB], enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA] and chemiluminescent immunoassay [CLIA]). Aliquots of individual samples were combined into progressively larger pools with stepwise validation of intermediary pools as for individual samples. Validated intermediary pools were merged into a final pool for lyophilization. Results: A total of 741 validated samples yielded a 750 mL final pool that was lyophilized into thousands of 200 mu L-aliquots. Reconstituted aliquots yielded the expected anti-DFS70 reactivity in ELISA, CLIA and WB, as well as high-titer DFS HEp-2 IFA pattern. The appropriate antiDFS70 reactivity of the lyophilized pool was confirmed by seven international expert centers, using HEp-2 IFA, ELISA, WB and immunoprecipitation. Conclusions: This proof-of-concept study provides an innovative and efficient strategy to build serum reference standards for autoantibody testing. The anti-DFS70 standard will integrate the panel of standards of Autoantibody Standardization Committee (ASC, www.autoab.org ), contributing to education for proper assay validation and interpretation of the DFS pattern and other HEp-2 IFA patterns.

- Abstract
The objective of the present investigation was to determine the Burnout Syndrome in the teaching staff of the Fiscal Institutions of District 14D03 Logroño Sucúa Educación del Circuito 02_a, 2018. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a population composed of 100 teachers to whom the sociodemographic and labor questionnaire was applied and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. From the results obtained it was observed that 9% of the teachers have a high level of Burnout, and 90% presented a risk of developing it. The most affected dimension was depersonalization (6%). No statistically significant relationship was found with any of the variables. Despite the low prevalence of Burnout, the percentage of teachers at risk is a guide for the implementation of preventive measures. Based on the results obtained and the literature reviewed, it can be concluded that the sociodemographic variables have low importance on the syndrome, so it is recommended that studies be carried out to include work stress and organizational factors.

- Abstract
En América Latina, el paso de una ciudad compacta a una ciudad dispersa no solo ha implicado transformaciones territoriales y funcionales de las grandes urbes, sino que también ha contribuido a modificar la escala de segregación social de estas, jugando un rol central en este proceso los cambios de residencia de la población urbana. En Chile, su capital nacional no ha sido una excepción a esta dinámica, en la medida que cambios residenciales en curso han alterado la segregación residencial, tanto en su escala espacial como en las formas que adopta. Los resultados alcanzados en este estudio muestran una marcada concentración de grupos socioeconómicos de mayor estatus en determinadas entidades administrativas de la ciudad, que hasta hace poco tiempo atrás no eran valoradas como lugares de residencia permanente por estas categorías de población. Este factor ha incrementado a otras escalas la segregación y ha contribuido a aumentar la complejidad del modelo general de segregación residencial de la ciudad.

Santiago ,Ciclorecreovia Program ,physical activity - Abstract
Background: With approximately 66% of the population overweight and nearly 90% with sedentary lifestyles, obesity has become a major public health problem in Chile. Thus, in the last fifteen years health policies have promoted active lifestyles. An interesting initiative in this context is the CicloRecreoVia program, which closes a set of public streets on Sunday mornings, allowing people to carry out PA in streets free of vehicles. Aim: To characterize PA and mobility patterns of participants of the CicloRecreoVía program in Santiago. Material and Methods: 401 participants of five circuits of the CicloRecreoVia surveyed on the type, frequency and durantion of the PA carried out, their daily mobility habits, motivations for attending the CicloRecreoVia, self-perceived health condition, among other aspects. Results: Participants spent 113 minutes in the CicloRecreoVia, 77% declared walking or bicycling at least 10 minutes per day and 56.7% traveled actively (bicycling or walking) at least four times per week. Finally, 69.1% perceived their health condition “better” or “much better” than one year ago. In addition, it was noted that CicloRecreoVías attracted different type of participants depending on their location in the city. Conclusions: In line with previous studies, most users achieve about 75% of the weekly PA recommended by attending the CicloRecreoVía, and the main motivations to attend the program were to make PA, to be outdoor and to socialize. As a result, the CicloRecreoVía has the potential to become an effective public nationwide health policy to combat obesity.

Telecomunicaciones - Abstract
Las tecnologías semánticas y de reconocimiento de emociones son cada vez más necesarias para avanzar hacia paradigmas tecnológicos del futuro como la web semántica o la realidad aumentada. En concreto, este segundo término se espera que genere una nueva revolución tecnológica que afecte a todos los ámbitos de la sociedad: economía, cultura de masas, moda, relación con el entorno, arquitectura… Aunque para alcanzar este objetivo queda un amplio camino por recorrer e investigar, algunas primeras implementaciones y tecnologías pueden diseñarse y desplegarse partiendo de las tecnologías actuales. Una de las industrias y tecnologías que más ventaja lleva en este sentido es el sector de los videojuegos. Partiendo de los desarrollos ya existentes en dicho campo, es más que posible avanzar en el área de la realidad aumentada. En este contexto, el objetivo principal de esta propuesta es integrar tecnologías estándar de rastreo de emociones y reconocimiento facial en aplicaciones web de juegos (basados, por ejemplo, en la tecnología Javascript). Se deberán valorar diferentes alternativas para el reconocimiento de emociones, que se soportará en librarías ya existentes y soluciones comerciales disponibles. Se dará libertad en cuanto al diseño de los juegos y el uso del reconocimiento facial y rastreo de emociones dentro de los mismos.

Resumen En las ciudades contemporáneas el espacio construido y el social se encuentran en un proceso constante de transformación. En este contexto, el barrio es una unidad cuya función es reunir a la comunidad y a sus prácticas, al mismo tiempo que opera como vínculo entre el espacio privado de la vivienda y la metrópolis. El rol del barrio en la construcción de la comunidad cobra especial relevancia en los barrios vulnerables. En Chile después de años de políticas viviendistas que privilegiaban la construcción de casas, se ha cambiado el foco hacia el mejoramiento de los barrios con intervenciones integrales multisectoriales. En este contexto, el objetivo del presente artículo es evaluar la relación entre las estructuras del espacio físico y las estructuras de sociabilidad en habitantes de barrios vulnerables en proceso de consolidación en Santiago, específicamente, a través del estudio de dos casos emblemáticos de la comuna de El Bosque. La hipótesis general es que el espacio físico y la configuración actual de muchos de los barrios con estas características de vulnerabilidad so-cioterritorial actúan como una estructura estructurante de relaciones sociales que es capaz de inhibir la difusión de la sociabilidad y favorecer el aislamiento metropolitano. Abstract The built and social urban space in contemporary cities are in a continuous transformation process. In this context, neighbourhoods have a double function that gathers community values while operates as link between the homes and the metropolis. The neighbourhood's role in the building of the community is especially relevant in vulnerable neighbourhoods. In Chile, after years of housing public policies that privileged the construction of houses, the focus has changed towards neighbourhood improvement with multi-sectorial integral interventions. In this context, the objective of the present paper is to evaluate the relationship between the physical space and the sociability structures of inhabitants from vulnerable neighbourhoods in the process of consolidation in Santiago de Chile, through the analysis of two cases in the municipality of El Bosque. The general hypothesis is that the physic space and the configuration of many vulnerable neighbourhoods, work as a structure-that-structures social relation, capable of inhibiting sociability and favouring urban isolation.

No Chile, após anos de políticas pro habitação, favorecendo a construção de casas, o foco tem sido mudado para a melhoria dos bairros com intervenções multisectoriais abrangentes. Neste contexto, o objetivo deste texto é avaliar a relação entre as estruturas de espaço físico e as estruturas de sociabilidade em habitantes dos bairros vulneráveis em processo de consolidação em Santiago. A hipótese geral é que o espaço físico e a configuração atual de muitos bairros e, especificamente nos bairros vulneráveis, atua como uma estrutura - estruturando as relações sociais e capaz de inibir a difusão de sociabilidade e favorecer o isolamento metropolitano.
