Transnational obligations in the field of economic, social and cultural rights
(Asociación Española de Profesores de Derecho Internacional y Relaciones Internacionales, 2009-10-15) Gómez Isa, Felipe
Given that States, particularly developing States, are more exposed than ever before to actions taken by other States, International Organizations, and Transnational Corporations, there is a pressing need to carefully reflect on the obligations States may have with regard to the effects that their international activities have on the economic, social and cultural rights (ESC rights) of people living in another country. Unlike extraterritorial obligations in the field of civil and political rights and International Humanitarian Law, the discussion on the transnational obligations in the area of ESC rights has not received much attention so far.
La población internamente desplazada en Colombia: claves para interpretar la regulación internacional
(Asociación Española de Profesores de Derecho Internacional y Relaciones Internacionales, 2009-11-26) Abrisketa Uriarte, Joana
El artículo analiza el grado de incidencia del Derecho internacional de los Derechos humanos – aplicable en tiempo de paz – y el Derecho internacional humanitario – aplicable en tiempo de conflicto armado – en la protección de la población desplazada en Colombia. Desentraña el alcance de las previsiones contenidas en los Principios Rectores del Desplazamiento Interno de Naciones Unidas y su aplicación por la Sentencia de la Corte Constitucional colombiana T-025 de 2004. Identifica las áreas que necesitan un mayor desarrollo y concluye que la interpretación y aplicación del Derecho por la Corte Constitucional colombiana, en el caso objeto de estudio, incluye e integra normas internacionales e internas.
Assessing tolerance-based robust short-term load forecasting in buildings
(MDPI AG, 2013) Borges Hernández, Cruz E.; Peña Landaburu, Yoseba Koldobika; Fernández Andrés, Iván; Prieto, Juan; Bretos, Oscar
Short-term load forecasting (STLF) in buildings differs from its broader counterpart in that the load to be predicted does not seem to be stationary, seasonal and regular but, on the contrary, it may be subject to sudden changes and variations on its consumption behaviour. Classical STLF methods do not react fast enough to these perturbations (i.e., they are not robust) and the literature on building STLF has not yet explored this area. Hereby, we evaluate a well-known post-processing method (Learning Window Reinitialization) applied to two broadly-used STLF algorithms (Autoregressive Model and Support Vector Machines) in buildings to check their adaptability and robustness. We have tested the proposed method with real-world data and our results state that this methodology is especially suited for buildings with non-regular consumption profiles, as classical STLF methods are enough to model regular-profiled ones. © 2013 by the authors.
Focusing on the golden ball metaheuristic: an extended study on a wider set of problems
(Hindawi Limited, 2014) Osaba, Eneko; Díaz Martín, José Fernando; Carballedo Morillo, Roberto; Onieva Caracuel, Enrique; Perallos Ruiz, Asier
Nowadays, the development of new metaheuristics for solving optimization problems is a topic of interest in the scientific community. In the literature, a large number of techniques of this kind can be found. Anyway, there are many recently proposed techniques, such as the artificial bee colony and imperialist competitive algorithm. This paper is focused on one recently published technique, the one called Golden Ball (GB). The GB is a multiple-population metaheuristic based on soccer concepts. Although it was designed to solve combinatorial optimization problems, until now, it has only been tested with two simple routing problems: the traveling salesman problem and the capacitated vehicle routing problem. In this paper, the GB is applied to four different combinatorial optimization problems. Two of them are routing problems, which are more complex than the previously used ones: the asymmetric traveling salesman problem and the vehicle routing problem with backhauls. Additionally, one constraint satisfaction problem (the n-queen problem) and one combinatorial design problem (the one-dimensional bin packing problem) have also been used. The outcomes obtained by GB are compared with the ones got by two different genetic algorithms and two distributed genetic algorithms. Additionally, two statistical tests are conducted to compare these results.
The challenges of recovering from individual and cultural trauma in Toni Morrison's "Home"
(Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2014) Ibarrola Armendariz, Aitor
The journey back home to Lotus, Georgia, that the protagonist of Morrison’s latest novel, FrankMoney, undertakes is planted with too many obstacles to turn it into the kind of “reconnecting experience” that would help him to recover from the traumas he suffers from. Frank’s sense of alienation is exacerbated by some hateful childhood memories, his participation in the Korean War and his painful losses there, the failure to support thewoman he loves, and the racism that he still experiences in the U.S. of the 1950s. Home(2012) offers ample grounds to discuss topics such as acts of remembrance, memory traces, the politics of mourning, and direct (andindirect) representations of trauma and sorrow. Yet, the main question the novel poses is to what extent Frank’sjourney to rescue his younger sister, Cee, helps him to achieve some kind of redemption and whether that redemption is fully materialized at the end of the novel.
