In recent years, the development of serious games is growing among the different application fields, especially in education. Nevertheless, the concept of learning through a game could be applied even in fields like Tele-Rehabilitation, where the patient could perform a rehabilitation routine in a motivating way due to improve its performance without the need of a doctor’s presence. ePHoRt is a platform developed by our team that allows hip surgery patients to perform their hip movement exercises effectively at home. At the same time, the platform allowed data collection useful for the physiotherapist in order to evaluate patient’s progress. One of the main features in this setting is that the user can personalize their avatar, objects and scenes that interact directly with different therapeutic exercises. At the same time, the platform includes several modules helping the physiotherapist and the patient to be informed about relative pain in the various parts of the body. The aim of this work is presenting the results of the usability evaluation in terms of effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction of the final users related with the serious game module in the ePHoRt web application. In order to perform this evaluation, several instruments are applied such as: IBM Questionnaire for the Satisfaction of the User Interface (IBM-CSUQ) and Microsoft’s Reaction Cards model. The results indicate that users rate serious games positively.

The continuous development of the RGB-D camera technology and it reduce price, have helped them to be used in different fields of applications, including research tasks. In this context, this paper presents a 3D face reconstruction methodology based on a RGB image and its associated depth map, acquired by a RGB-D camera Orbec Astra Pro. A preliminary stage based on face detection with the Haar Cascade classifier is performed in order to find the face area (2D) to be analyzed. These 2D pixel points found are then matched with its corresponding depth values in order to generate a 3D RAW data represented as a point cloud with values in the X,Y,Z coordinates. Several filters are then applied to the point cloud in order to eliminate the noise on the 3D image and smoothing the final 3D face representation. Finally, several tests are performed in order to evaluate the performance of the system, related with parameters as: face distance to the camera, filter tuning, point cloud resolution and the effect of the background scene. The results shown that the appropriate calibration of the filters and the face’s distance to the camera affects directly to the final 3D representation.
RGB-D相机技术的不断发展和价格的不断降低,使其应用于不同的领域,包括研究任务。在此背景下,本文提出了一种基于RGB图像及其相关深度图的3D人脸重建方法,该方法由Orbec Astra Pro RGB- d相机获得。基于Haar级联分类器的人脸检测的初步阶段是为了找到待分析的人脸区域(2D)。然后将找到的这些2D像素点与其相应的深度值进行匹配,以生成具有X,Y,Z坐标值的点云表示的3D RAW数据。然后对点云应用几个过滤器,以消除3D图像上的噪声并平滑最终的3D人脸表示。最后,进行了几项测试,以评估系统的性能,涉及的参数包括:人脸到相机的距离,滤波器调整,点云分辨率和背景场景的效果。结果表明,滤镜的适当校准以及人脸与相机的距离直接影响最终的3D表现。

In recent years, the correct management of inventories has become a fundamental pillar for achieving success in enterprises. Unfortunately, studies suggesting the investment and adoption of advanced inventory management and control systems are not easy to find. In this context, this article aims to analyze and present an extensive literature concerning inventory management, containing multiple definitions and fundamental concepts for the retail sector. A systematic literature review was carried out to determine the main trends and indicators of inventory management in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). This research covers five years, between 2015 and 2019, focusing specifically on the retail sector. The primary outcomes of this study are the leading inventory management systems and models, the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for their correct management, and the benefits and challenges for choosing or adopting an efficient inventory control and management system. Findings indicate that SMEs do not invest resources in sophisticated systems; instead, a simple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system or even programs such as Excel or manual inventories are mainly used.

A considerable proportion of the global population has lost vision due to the late diagnosis of glaucoma, causing ocular pressure on the optic nerve, and blindness to become irreversible. A number of 60.50 million people suffer open angle (OAG) and angle closure glaucoma (ACG) in 2010, increasing to 79.60 million by 2020, and of these, 74% will have OAG. For that reason, the objective of this project was to implement a computational technique of early diagnosis of glaucoma using imaging processing in MATLAB, with the aim of preventing future more severe damages. Together with this, it also sought to improve the precision of the technique to complement the work of the specialist, and providing more accessibility to the patient. The entire ACRIMA database was used for the diagnosis and then analyzed and processed by MATLAB, by extracting the most relevant qualities from the images to reach an optimal diagnosis. The performance test was based on Matlab glaucoma detection proposed method, showing satisfactory results with an accuracy of 94.61%, sensitivity of 94.57% and specificity of 95%. These percentages showed that glaucoma detection using Matlab is feasible.

The verification of distributed algorithms is a challenge for formal techniques supported by tools, as model checkers and proof assistants. The difficulties, even for powerful tools, lie in the derivation of proofs of required properties, such as safety and eventuality, for distributed algorithms. Verification by construction can be achieved by using a formal framework in which models are constructed at different levels of abstraction; each level of abstraction is refined by the one below, and this refinement relationships is documented by an abstraction relation namely a gluing invariant. The highest levels of abstraction are used to express the required behavior in terms of the problem domain and the lowest level of abstraction corresponds to an implementation from which an efficient implementation can be derived automatically. We describe a methodology based on the general concept of refinement and used for developing distributed algorithms satisfying a given list of safety and liveness properties. We will show also how formal models can be used for producing distributed programs of a real programming language. The modelling methodology is defined in the Event-B modelling language using the Rodin Formal IDE.

Ecuador is a country with several seismicity sources, including the Nazca – South America megathrust in the west, the Interandean Fault System (IFS), and an active back-arc fold and thrust belt in the East. The surface deformation associated with the subduction megathrust has been well constrained in prior studies, but this is not the case for the other two systems, representing a significant source of near-surface seismic hazard. The IFS runs directly under or close to several major cities, including Quito, Riobamba, and Ibarra. Earthquakes have destroyed all these cities in the past. On the order hand, the back-arc faults are under areas with active mining and petroleum infrastructure. The overarching goal of this work is develop a better understanding of these two fault systems using computational techniques for spaceborne geodetic data. In this first phase of the study, we perform interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) processing of 280 Sentinel-1 scenes in the dry Interandean Valley. Then, we use time-series analysis to obtain rates of deformation from all sources, including faults, during recent years. One specific goal is to investigate the hazard due to landslides near Quito. In general, our results contribute to having a better understanding of seismic hazards in Ecuador.
厄瓜多尔是一个有几个地震活动性源区的国家,包括西部的纳斯卡-南美大型逆冲断层,Interandean Fault System (IFS),以及东部活跃的弧后褶皱和逆冲带。在之前的研究中,与俯冲巨型逆冲构造相关的地表变形已经得到了很好的限制,但对于另外两个系统来说,情况并非如此,这是近地表地震危险的一个重要来源。IFS直接运行在几个主要城市的地下或附近,包括基多、里奥巴马巴和伊巴拉。过去地震摧毁了所有这些城市。另一方面,弧后断裂位于采矿和石油基础设施活跃的地区。这项工作的总体目标是利用星载大地测量数据的计算技术更好地了解这两个断层系统。在研究的第一阶段,我们对干旱的Interandean Valley的280个Sentinel-1场景进行了干涉合成孔径雷达(InSAR)处理。然后,我们使用时间序列分析来获得近年来所有来源(包括断层)的变形率。一个具体目标是调查基多附近山体滑坡造成的危害。总的来说,我们的研究结果有助于更好地了解厄瓜多尔的地震危害。

The field of education has been completely revolutionized due to the worldwide pandemic caused by COVID-19. Student evaluations, used as tools in the teaching-learning process, have had to be adapted to online learning environments (or in some cases hybrid online/in class learning) that most educational centers are currently using. This descriptive, quantitatively focused study evaluates the effectiveness of ExamView as a tool to construct and apply evaluation questionnaires in the online learning setting. During the study, 91 students belonging to three classes of Linear Algebra 1 participated in a survey evaluating the efficiency, pertinence, and motivation of three assessment models: Model A, a traditional, pen and paper questionnaire; Model B, an online multiple-choice questionnaire; and Model C, an online questionnaire including questions in a variety of formats such as multiple-choice, true/false, short answer, and matching. The results of the survey show that due to the familiarity and simplicity that students perceive when answering this type of multiple-choice questionnaire, more students prefer Model B than the other two models.

Internet of Things (IoT) systems are characterized by being highly heterogeneous, distributed, and scalable, made up of a variety of devices that operate in uncertain and ubiquitous settings. In this sense, models@runtime emerges as a promising software development approach to address IoT systems’ intrinsic characteristics. This study presents a systematic review to know the state of the art using of models@runtime to support IoT systems’ operation. The methodology proposed by Kitchenham has been used to carry out this research. The systematic review answers the following research questions: i) How are models@runtime being used in the IoT domain? And ii) How is addressed the research in studies related to the use of models@runtime in the IoT domain? Initially, 692 primary studies were retrieved, where 50 relevant studies related to approaches based on models@runtime for IoT were selected after applying the corresponding inclusion and exclusion criteria. Those primary studies were classified based on the extraction criteria. Among review’s main results are that the models@runtime have been widely used to support the monitoring and self-adaptation mechanisms in IoT systems, as opposed to the few studies found aimed at interoperability, quality assurance, self-organization, and self-optimization of IoT systems, consisting of essential research opportunities.
