- PublicationAn Advanced Search System to Manage SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Data Using a Model-Driven Development Approach(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022) León Palacio, Ana; García Simón, Alberto; Pastor López, Oscar; Dpto. de Sistemas Informáticos y Computación; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática; Instituto Universitario Valenciano de Investigación en Inteligencia Artificial; European Commission; Generalitat Valenciana; European Regional Development Fund; AGENCIA VALENCIANA DE LA INNOVACION; Universitat Politècnica de València[EN] The pandemic outbreak of COVID-19 has allowed the proliferation of an unprecedented amount of data that must be organized and connected in a way that allows its efficient management. Nevertheless, the speed at which all of this knowledge is being generated has highlighted the shortcomings of the research community in creating well-organized, standardized, and structured databases. Despite the efforts of the community to develop advanced integrative platforms such as CovidGraph, we have identified some limitations when using these solutions that we think are derived from the lack of a sound ontological schema to guide the collection, standardization, and integration of data. This work explores the advantages and disadvantages for the final user of building advanced information systems using a Model Driven Development approach to integrate heterogeneous and complex data using an ontological background as a basis. As a proof of concept, we built a database (CovProt) to integrate data about different aspects of SARS-CoV-2 using this approach, we analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of using this approach compared to CovidGraph by performing a set of queries in CovProt and CovidGraph, and finally, we compared the structure and redundancy of the retrieved data.
- PublicationAnalysis of the COVID-19 Lockdown¿s Impact on Air Quality in the Larger Cities of Spain(MDPI AG, 2022-05) Lorenzo Sáez, Edgar; Coll Aliaga, Peregrina Eloína; Oliver Villanueva, José Vicente; Prieto del Campo, Fernando; Lerma Arce, Victoria; Dpto. de Ingeniería Rural y Agroalimentaria; Instituto Universitario de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicaciones; Dpto. de Proyectos de Ingeniería; Dpto. de Ingeniería Cartográfica Geodesia y Fotogrametría; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Geodésica, Cartográfica y Topográfica; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial; Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Agronómica y del Medio Natural; AGENCIA VALENCIANA DE LA INNOVACION; Universitat Politècnica de València[EN] During the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, the air quality reached the best levels to be recorded in large cities in Spain. To analyze and demonstrate this improvement in air quality levels, the evolution of the average nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels in 78 Spanish cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants during the pre-COVID-19 years (2017¿2019), the period of the COVID-19 lockdown, and the post-COVID-19 year (2021) was analyzed. The results show an improvement in the air quality in most of the cities analyzed for 2020 due to the COVID-19 restrictions. In addition, in 2021, without the COVID-19 restrictions, the air quality levels of the largest cities in Spain showed important improvements in terms of NO2 concentration compared to the levels in the pre-COVID-19 years (2017¿2019). Nevertheless, in 2021, only 11 cities were below the average annual limit of 10 µg/m3 NO2 established by the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, no cities with more than 500,000 inhabitants achieved NO2 levels below the WHO limit. Finally, a detailed monthly analysis indicated that the pre-COVID-19 levels were reached again during the last months of the monitored period.
