15Machine learning for electric energy consumption forecasting: Application to the Paraguayan systemLogic Journal of the IGPL. forthcoming.In this paper we address the problem of short-term electric energy prediction using a time series forecasting approach applied to data generated by a Paraguayan electricity distribution provider. The dataset used in this work contains data collected over a three-year period. This is the first time that these data have been used; therefore, a preprocessing phase of the data was also performed. In particular, we propose a comparative study of various machine learning and statistical strategies wit…Read more

14Prudence, Rules, and Regulative EpistemologyPhilosophies 8 (5): 91. 2023.Following Ballantyne, we can distinguish between descriptive and regulative epistemology. Whereas descriptive epistemology analyzes epistemic categories such as knowledge, justified belief, or evidence, regulative epistemology attempts to guide our thinking. In this paper, we argue that regulative epistemologists should focus their attention on what we call epistemic prudence. Our argument proceeds as follows: First, we lay out an objection to virtue-based regulative epistemology that is analogo…Read more

7'The Rise and Fall of the Idea of Genetic Information (1948-2006)'Genomics, Society and Policy 2 (3): 1-21. 2006.On 26 June 2000, during the presentation of the Human Genome Project's first draft, Bill Clinton, then President of the United States, claimed that "today we are learning the language in which God created life".1 Behind his remarks lay a story of more than half a century involving the understanding of DNA as information. This paper analyses that story, discussing the origins of the informational view of our genes during the early 1950s, how such a view affected the research on the genetic code (…Read more

4Primeros problemas ontológicosInvestigaciones Fenomenológicas 4 133. 2014.En este texto se plantea el comienzo de un tratado de filosofía primera que divide los problemas de ésta en asuntos de ontología, agatología y lógica. Se presentan luego las bases de la lógica como teoría del conocimiento y las bases de la ontología como teoría de las pluralidades. Se critican las posiciones aparentemente más plausibles, en dirección a mostrar cómo el peculiar fenomenismo defendido por Husserl en su madurez filosófica es la mejor de las soluciones globales para la problemática l…Read more

18¿Invertir la intencionalidad? Henry y la absorción de la intencionalidad en el serAnuario Filosófico 519-544. forthcoming.En este trabajo se propone una revisión de la fenomenología de la vida de Michel Henry y su relación con la intencionalidad, tal como esta es pensada en y por Husserl. Se pasa revista al modo en el que el fundador del método fenomenológico se ocupa de cuestiones centrales de la fenomenología de la vida, así como de la forma en la que Henry habla de la vida, la autodonación, la autorevelación, la verdad, el cuerpo originario o absoluto, etc. La tesis es que en el fenomenólogo francés no se trata,…Read more

8Bidirectional Shaping and Spaces of Convergence: Interactions between Biology and Computing from the First DNA Sequencers to Global Genome Databases (review)Science, Technology, and Human Values 37 (1): 124-164. 2012.This article proposes a new bi-directional way of understanding the convergence of biology and computing. It argues for a reciprocal interaction in which biology and computing have shaped and are currently reshaping each other. In so doing, we qualify both the view of a natural marriage and of a digital shaping of biology, which are common in the literature written by scientists, STS, and communication scholars. The DNA database is at the center of this interaction. We argue that DNA databases a…Read more

46A New Insight into Sanger’s Development of Sequencing: From Proteins to DNA, 1943–1977Journal of the History of Biology 43 (2): 265-323. 2010.Fred Sanger, the inventor of the first protein, RNA and DNA sequencing methods, has traditionally been seen as a technical scientist, engaged in laboratory bench work and not interested at all in intellectual debates in biology. In his autobiography and commentaries by fellow researchers, he is portrayed as having a trajectory exclusively dependent on technological progress. The scarce historical scholarship on Sanger partially challenges these accounts by highlighting the importance of professi…Read more

By looking at the long-term redefinition of a research programme, it sheds new light on the interactions between different and conflicting levels in the study of biomedicine, such as the local and the global, or the medical and the biological. It also addresses the gap in the literature between the first biomedical complexes after World Wa…Read more

25An example of methodological process of grounded theoryCinta de Moebio 57 305-315. 2016.Grounded theory, a research method born out of the social sciences field, offers a flexible technique that allows simultaneous data collection and processing. Researchers using this method immerse themselves in an area of study, focusing their observations on the data and taking into consideration not only their own interpretations, but also those of the other subjects involved, in order to strengthen their understanding of the social phenomena under examination. This text briefly describes the …Read more
