Malaria intensity in Colombia by regions and populations [PDF]
Determining the distribution of disease prevalence among heterogeneous populations at the national scale is fundamental for epidemiology and public health. Here, we use a combination of methods (spatial scan statistic, topological data analysis, epidemic profile) to study measurable differences in malaria intensity by regions and populations of ...

The Perils of High-Powered Incentives: Evidence from Colombia’s False Positives
High-powered incentives for the military and security services have become a common counterinsurgency strategy over the last several decades. We investigate the use of such incentives for members of the Colombian army in the long-running civil war ...

The state of optics research in Colombia: a scientometric analysis [PDF]
Although there is a perception in the community that the state of optics research in Colombia has reached a mature state with international recognition, to date, there is no study that supports this view quantitatively. We aimed to assess the state of optics research in Colombia based on international journal publications.

A Consistent Scenario for B to PS Decays [PDF]
We consider B to PS decays where P stands for pseudoscalar and S for a heavy (~1500 MeV) scalar meson. We achieve agreement with available experimental data -- which includes a two orders of magnitude hierarchy -- assuming the scalars mesons are two quark states. The contribution of the dipolar penguin operator O_{11} is quantified.

On Nilcompactifications of Prime Spectra of Commutative Rings [PDF]
Given a ring R and S one of its proper ideals, we obtain a compactification of the prime spectrum of S through a mainly algebraic process. We name it the R-nilcompactification of SpecS. We study some categorical properties of this construction.

Machine learning approaches for COVID-19 detection from chest X-ray imaging: A Systematic Review [PDF]
There is a necessity to develop affordable, and reliable diagnostic tools, which allow containing the COVID-19 spreading. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms have been proposed to design support decision-making systems to assess chest X-ray images, which have proven to be useful to detect and evaluate disease progression.
