Ítem Analysing the impact of images and text for predicting human creativity through encoders(Science and Technology Publications, Lda, 2025) Pikatza Huerga, Amaia; Matanzas de Luis, Pablo; Fernandez De Retana Uribe, Miguel; Peña Lasa, Javier; Zulaika Zurimendi, Unai; Almeida, AitorThis study explores the application of multimodal machine learning techniques to evaluate the originality and complexity of drawings. Traditional approaches in creativity assessment have primarily focused on visual analysis, often neglecting the potential insights derived from accompanying textual descriptions. The research assesses four target features: drawings’ originality, flexibility and elaboration level, and titles’ creativity, all labelled by expert psychologists. The research compares different image encoding and text embeddings to examine the effectiveness and impact of individual and combined modalities. The results indicate that incorporating textual information enhances the predictive accuracy for all features, suggesting that text provides valuable contextual insights that images alone may overlook. This work demonstrates the importance of a multimodal approach in creativity assessment, paving the way for more comprehensive and nuanced evaluations of artistic expression.Ítem Influence Functions for interpretable link prediction in Knowledge Graphs for Intelligent Environments(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Zulaika Zurimendi, Unai ; Almeida, Aitor; López de Ipiña González de Artaza, DiegoKnowledge graphs are large, graph-structured databases used in many use-case scenarios such as Intelligent Environments. Many Artificial Intelligent latent feature models are used to infer new facts in Knowledge Graphs. Despite their success, the lack of interpretability remains a challenge to overcome. This paper applies influence functions to obtain the most significant facts when predicting new knowledge and allows users to understand these models. However, Influence Functions do not scale well. We present an efficient method to scale up influence functions to large Knowledge Graphs to overcome such an issue. It drastically reduces the number of training samples when computing influences and uses fast curvature matrix-vector products to linearize the computation steps required for the inverse Hessian. We conduct experiments on different sized Knowledge Graphs demonstrating the scalability of our approach and its effectiveness in measuring the most influential facts. Our method provides an intuitive understanding of link prediction behaviour in Knowledge Graphs and Intelligent Environments.Ítem Fostering multi-stakeholder collaboration through co-production and rewarding(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) López de Ipiña González de Artaza, Diego ; Badiola Martínez, Julen; Lauzurica, Daniel; Silva Palacios, Daniel ; Carballedo Morillo, Roberto ; Casado Mansilla, Diego ; Not, Elena; Leonardi, Chiara ; Misikangas, PauliThis paper describes a digital tool to foster sustainable engagement of stakeholders in collaborative processes, namely Collaborative Environment. A distinguishing aspect of the tool is its co-production model-based project management and its emphasis on reusability. The paper also reasons on how this tool should be effectively complemented to realize long-run and effective stakeholder collaboration, which is essential in bringing about social innovation.Ítem Tailoring digital middleware for rural needs: insights from user feedback analysis(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Gómez Carmona, Oihane ; Buján Carballal, David ; Casado Mansilla, Diego; López de Ipiña González de Artaza, DiegoThe digitalization of rural areas is essential for bridging the socio-economic gap between urban and rural communities. However, the adoption of digital technologies in rural environments faces significant barriers, including limited infrastructure, technical knowledge requirements, and user accessibility challenges. For this reason, middleware platforms aim to enhance digital infrastructure and interoperability in rural areas by providing user-friendly digital services. This paper presents an evaluation of the feedback obtained on the AURORAL middleware for rural areas to understand its effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. By analyzing insights from focus groups and questionnaires with eight pilots, we aim to highlight the real-world challenges and benefits experienced by participants when interacting with the middleware. This feedback is crucial for refining such solutions to meet better the needs of diverse stakeholders, including those providing and accessing services, and ensuring its successful adoption. Moreover, the findings of this study emphasize the importance of user-centered design in overcoming digital barriers, enhancing usability and accessibility, and promoting sustainable development in rural areas, ultimately contributing to a more inclusive digital transformation.Ítem Digitalización en las relaciones instrumentales de la seguridad social y garantías de los administrados(Laborum, 2023) Arrieta Idiakez, Francisco JavierÍtem Ethical challenges from artificial intelligence to legal practice(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Viguri Axpe, Miguel RamónThe increasing implementation of software and data analysis tools based on Artificial Intelligence in the field of law, raises technical and ethical questions regarding the legal nature of the actions that take place in an area of eJustice. In the first place, the ethical problems derived from Jurimetrics appear: the increasing capacity to detect hidden patterns between the data of sentences and procedural forms, allow establishing statistical guidelines of reliability in terms of the application of a certain line of defense or another. This endangers the duty of every legal agent (not only of the judges) to ensure justice, turning the orientations and the choices of argumentative strategies into a commercial practice that distorts the ethical nature of the legal profession. On the other hand, the irruption of new communication technologies and data analysis can modify the conditions of establishment and development of both the procedures and the judicial process itself (both civil and criminal). Finally, AI confronts us with a series of ethical problems derived from the predictive function applied to research. This work will try to briefly show these issues and conclude with a series of ethical indications or recommendations to avoid dangers and turn digitization into a tool at the service of the legal operator and at the service of defending the rights and dignity of people.Ítem Identifying the future skills requirements of the digital maintenance era(Universidad de Deusto = Deustuko Unibertsitatea, Servicio de Publicaciones = Argitalpen Zerbitzua, 2024) Báyon, Félix; Goti Elordi, Aitor; Oyarbide Zubillaga, Aitor; Akyazi, TugçeThe ongoing surge in the digitization of industry and the increasingly stringent sustainability requirements are reshaping the discipline of maintenance and its management. To meet the demands of these digital and sustainable trends, it is crucial to have a workforce equipped with the necessary skills. Achieving compliance requires anticipating changes in the skill set required for maintenance management. With this context conditions, Sidenor, with the support of the University of Deusto, analyses the most suitable skills for effectively implementing maintenance strategies, to afterwards develop customized didactic materials based on, among others, digital twin approaches.Ítem ¿Es realmente el Flipped Classroom una metodología eficaz en Educación Primaria?: una revisión de la metodología de investigación de los principales estudios nacionales e internacionales(Universitat de Lleida, Ediciones de la Universidad de Lérida = Edicions de la Universitat de Lleida, 2019) Galindo Domínguez, HéctorEl Flipped Classroom es una metodología que está cobrando verdadera importancia entre los profesores de Educación Primaria. En este trabajo se realizó una revisión crítica de la metodología de investigación de los principales estudios nacionales e internacionales y se expusieron las limitaciones de medida, muestreo, diseño e interpretación estadística que se detectaron para conocer si las conclusiones que se tienen a día de hoy son concluyentes. Los resultados sobre la medida apuntan a que más de la mitad de las investigaciones no sobrepasan 1 trimestre de duración y la gran mayoría de estudios no emplea instrumentos validados ni fiables. Sobre el muestreo, destaca el diseño no probabilístico y debido al bajo número de casos ningún trabajo emplea muestras que permitan extrapolar las conclusiones. En relación al diseño, la gran mayoría de estudios no aporta información sobre la contextualización ni sobre la reactividad de los sujetos. Respecto a la interpretación estadística, destaca que aproximadamente la mitad de los estudios no comprobaron los requisitos previos para el uso de pruebas específicas y dos tercios de los estudios que podían no aportaron información sobre el tamaño del efecto. La unión de todas estas limitaciones puede suponer una severa dificultad para concluir que el Flipped Classroom es una metodología eficaz en Educación Primaria y, por consiguiente, la necesidad de investigación futura más profunda.Ítem La autopercepción de la competencia emprendedora de futuros maestros/as de educación primaria(REDINE (Red de Investigación e Innovación Educativa), 2022) Benitez, Estibaliz; Arruti, ArantzaLa investigación sobre la competencia emprendedora en el ámbito educativo está en pleno desa-rrollo, sobre todo desde que en el 2006 el Parlamento Europeo y el Consejo de la Unión Europea(2006) destacaran la competencia emprendedora como una de las ocho competencias clave para laformación permanente. Ejemplo de ello es la publicación de los marcos europeos de la competenciaemprendedora EntreComp (Bacigalupo et al., 20016) y EntreCompEdu (Grigg, 2020). Su objetivo noes otro que el de dotar a las personas, entre ellas al profesorado de los distintos niveles educativos, deun amplio abanico de competencias clave que contribuyan al desarrollo personal, la inclusión social, laciudadanía activa y el empleo. El presente estudio parte de la necesidad de formar al futuro profeso-rado emprendedor o teacherpreneur (Arruti et al., 2021). Su objetivo es elaborar un cuestionario quepermita evaluar la autopercepción de la competencia emprendedora (subcompetencias conocimientoy conciencia emprendedora, y evaluación de EntreCompEdu) del futuro profesorado de educaciónprimaria. Tras elaborar el cuestionario y someterlo a un juicio de expertos, se envía al alumnado dedistintas promociones del grado en educación primaria de la Universidad de Deusto (304 sujetos). Sereciben 182 respuestas (60%) y se concluye que con una confianza del 95% y un margen de errordel 5%, la muestra resulta ser representativa. Entre los resultados obtenidos destacan los siguientes:media significativamente superior en la subcompetencia conocimiento y conciencia emprendedora delalumnado de promociones antiguas frente al del actual curso académico; influencia significativa del gé-nero, que no de la promoción, del alumnado en ambas subcompetencias, siendo más alta en las muje-res que en los hombres; desconocimiento de un 85.2% de la muestra de la existencia de EntreComp yEntreCompEdu; y, conocimiento por parte de tan solo un 28% de los encuestados de la finalidad y losbeneficios de la educación emprendedora. Sigue llamando la atención que haya alumnos/as (12,6%)que afirman que no evaluarán las competencias emprendedoras o que creen que el profesorado nodeba hacerlo. Estos resultados nos permiten seguir insistiendo en la necesidad de incluir la competen-cia emprendedora en los planes de estudios del grado en educación primaria, como se ha hecho enla nueva ley educativa española.Ítem Data analytics in organic farming: impact on environmental sustainability(Academic Conferences and Publishing International Limited, 2022-08-25) Paz-Castillo, Cristhian; Sáenz Martínez, Josune; Ortiz de Guinea, AnaThe production of healthy food while preserving the environment constitutes one of the main challenges of the 21st century. Along these lines, organic farming has emerged as a farm management and food production system that encourages environmental sustainability. To enhance such sustainability, data analytics both as an asset and as a capability could play a substantial role. Indeed, data analytics could be used to interpret the past and predict the future and to make more timely or accurate decisions regarding the use and protection of natural resources. Using survey data from 119 Spanish organic farms whose digitization degree as reported by the farmer is above 0, and structural equation modeling based on partial least squares to test research hypotheses, we found that even though data analytics in organic farming is clearly underdeveloped, it still contributes to enhancing farms’ environmental sustainability. Thus, investments in environmental data analytics appear to pay off.Ítem Multilevel selective harmonic modulation by duality(Elsevier B.V., 2022-07) Biccari, Umberto; Zuazua, EnriqueWe address the Selective Harmonic Modulation (SHM) problem in power electronic engineering, consisting in designing a multilevel staircase control signal with some prescribed frequencies to improve the performances of a converter. In this work, SHM is addressed through an optimal control methodology based on duality, in which the admissible controls are piecewise constant functions, taking values only in a given finite set. To fulfill this constraint, the cornerstone of our approach is the introduction of a special penalization in the cost functional, in the form of a piece-wise affine approximation of a parabola. In this manner, we build optimal multilevel controls having the desired staircase structure.Ítem Effects of tool-workpiece friction condition on energy consumption during piercing phase of seamless tube production(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2022-07-22) Derazkola, Hamed Aghajani ; García Gil, Eduardo; Murillo Marrodán, AlbertoDuring the hot piercing phase of seamless tube production, friction and contact conditions between tools and workpiece significantly influence final product quality and energy consumption. The friction effects on the production of high alloyed steels like Super Cr13 steel are critical. This study analyses the effect of different friction conditions at the workpiece-tool interface in the piercing of Super Cr13 steel bars to minimize total energy consumption in such a manufacturing process. For this purpose, a three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) is employed to simulate and analyze the piercing process. The variety of tools (plug, rollers, and Diescher discs) and contact conditions lead to differences in the applied stress at different workpiece areas. Consequently, various friction models and friction coefficients were selected for different interfaces. The relation between strain rate, temperature, and geometry of pierced tube are discussed, and the selected friction relation with total power and energy consumption is presented. Experimental tests results have been used for evaluation of FEM output, and finally, the most effective conditions with lower total energy consumption are presented.Ítem Mujer y salud: una mirada intergeneracional(Universidad de La Rioja, 2022) Madariaga Ortuzar, AuroraÍtem Bularreko minbizi diagnostikoaren ostean, aukera kirurgikoen aurrean erabakiak hartzeko prozesuaren deskribapena(Udako Euskal Unibertsitatea, UEU = Universidad Vasca de Verano, 2025-05-30) Lozano Real, Garbiñe; Ollé Gonzalez, Júlia; Araolaza Arrieta, Maialen; Lamarain Altuna, Maider; Ondarra Zubeldia, Olalla; Canet Vélez, Olga; Arbillaga Etxarri, AneBularreko minbiziaren tratamendu kirurgikoen aurrean erabakitze prozesua deskribatzea da lan honen helburu nagusia.

By understanding the customer’s perspective and effectively communicating the value of services,businesses can enhance customer satisfaction and drive revenue growth. The key take-away is the importance of thorough preparation and customer engagement in successfully transitioning to a service-based model.Ítem A sustainable approach to laboratory experimentation(Association for Computing Machinery, 2019-10-16) Felgueiras, Carlos; Costa, Ricardo; Alves, Gustavo R.; Viegas, Clara; Fidalgo, André; Marques, María Arcelina; Lima, Natércia; Castro, Manuel; García-Zubía, Javier; Pester, Andreas; Kulesza, Wlodek; Silva, Juarez Bento da; Pavani, Ana; Pozzo, María Isabel; Marchisio, Susana; Fernández, Rubén; Oliveira, Vanderli; Schlichting, Luis C. M.Sustainability is currently a general concern in society and in particular in the use of laboratories for educational purposes. Although laboratories are unavoidable facilities for education, they often produce waste resulting from students' experiments. To contribute for sustainable solutions in education, the use of remote laboratories instead of the traditional hands-on laboratories should be considered in every engineering course. It is precisely this aspect that is discussed in the current paper. Some comments about the importance of sustainability in education are made. Later, it is described the use of a remote laboratory named VISIR in a course held at the Polytechnic of Porto - School of Engineering, for the conduction of an electronic experiment named Schmitt Trigger. At the end, some comments about the contribution of this remote lab for sustainability in education, are provided.Ítem Historia de Andrea: sexo, género, deseo y educación.(Universitat de Lleida, Ediciones de la Universidad de Lérida = Edicions de la Universitat de Lleida, 2019) Bilbao Traba, Ainara; Marauri Ceballos, Jesús; Zenitagoia Apraiz, JoneA lo largo de este trabajo se van a definir los conceptos de sexo, género y deseo, así como la evolución que han tenido estos en los movimientos feministas, LGBT y Queer. Asimismo, haciendo un giño a la respuesta educativa, se ofrece una propuesta metodológica vinculada al trabajo con cuentos para alumnos de Educación Primaria. Los cuentos narran la historia de Andrea cuyo nombre ha sido elegido por la riqueza de sus matices. Con nuestra reflexión, utilizando un lenguaje accesible a este nivel educativo, pretendemos acercar al mundo de la escuela la complejidad de estos conceptos.Ítem Proyecto de dirección y liderazgo.(Universitat de Lleida, Ediciones de la Universidad de Lérida = Edicions de la Universitat de Lleida, 2019) Aguirregabiria Barturen, F. Javier; Ariceta Iraola, María IsabelLa legislación educativa española establece como requisito para el acceso a la dirección que todos los candidatos deben presentar un proyecto de Dirección que, en caso de ser elegidos, llevarán a la práctica en el centro. El contexto de cambio constante en que vive la sociedad hace que, también el centro educativo, se vaya convirtiendo en una organización flexible, adaptable y con capacidad de respuestas a los retos actuales. El liderazgo de la Dirección entendida como Equipo Directivo ejercerá como motor de cambio y transformación en los centros educativos (Pietsch y Tulowitzki, 2017; Sun y Leithwood, 2015). En esta investigación se observa el cambio que ha experimentado el estilo de liderazgo de los equipos directivos como consecuencia de la elaboración y posterior puesta en marcha y evaluación del Proyecto de Dirección.
