A new ‘virtual moderator’ helps reach consensus in troubled negotiations

A group of researchers have designed a new fuzzy ontology-based system to help people in disagreement reach consensus. This system, which acts as a virtual moderator, is a step forward in the field on Artificial Intelligence. This tool can be useful in making everyday decisions –such as choosing a wine in a restaurant–, but it… Seguir Leyendo A new ‘virtual moderator’ helps reach consensus in troubled negotiations

1 out of 4 lung cancer patients in Andalusia does not receive the radiotherapy they need

A study conducted by University of Granada and Virgen de las Nieves U.H. researchers has revealed that in Andalusian public hospitals radiotherapy is provided to lung cancer patients with a frequency 25 % below that established by clinical protocols. Failure to provide such treatment results in a total of 3,000 survival-day loss for all lung… Seguir Leyendo 1 out of 4 lung cancer patients in Andalusia does not receive the radiotherapy they need

Teenagers with a low muscular strength have a higher risk of dying early form heart disease

Teenagers with a low muscular strength have a 30% higher risk of committing suicide before the age of 55 years, and a 65% higher risk of developing psychiatric diseases such as depression of schizophrenia. In addition, a low muscular strength during childhood and adolescence is a strong predictor of early death –i.e. before 55 years… Seguir Leyendo Teenagers with a low muscular strength have a higher risk of dying early form heart disease

Researchers confirm the ‘Pinocchio Effect’: When you lie, your nose temperature raises

The University of Granada researchers are pioneers in the application of thermography to the psychology field. Thermography is a technique based on determining body temperature.When a person lies they suffer a «Pinocchio effect», which is an increase in the temperature around the nose and in the orbital muscle in the inner corner of the eye.… Seguir Leyendo Researchers confirm the ‘Pinocchio Effect’: When you lie, your nose temperature raises
