Fuzzy set theory has developed a prolific armamentarium of mathematical tools for each of the topics that has fallen within its scope. One of such topics is data comparison, for which a range of operators has been presented in the past. These operators can be used within the fuzzy set theory, but can also be ported to other scenarios in which data are provided in various representations. In this work, we elaborate on notions for type-2 fuzzy sets, specifically for the comparison of type-2 fuzzy membership degrees, to create function comparison operators. We further apply these operators to hyperspectral imaging, in which pixelwise data are provided as functions over a certain energy spectra. The performance of the functional comparison operators is put to the test in the context of in-laboratory hyperspectral image segmentation.

Esca is one of the most destructive vine diseases in the world. It causes significant economic losses, mainly due to reduced grape yield and quality. Currently, the approved methods of controlling esca include preventive methods such as the use of fungicides on plant wounds or the use of planting systems that do not require intensive pruning, among others. It is therefore advisable to monitor the crop to identify those vines that are susceptible to the disease. For this reason, in this study a proximal hyperspectral camera was used for early detection of esca presence in asymptomatic grapevine leaves. Images of 11 vines of the Tempranillo variety grown in Etxauri (Navarre, Spain) were analysed. Hyperspectral images were acquired using a Specim IQ snapshot camera, mounted on a tripod, working in the range of 400¿1000 nm with a spectral resolution of 7 nm (204 bands), and an image resolution of 512 × 512 pixel including an RGB camera (5 Mpix). The images were taken under natural ambient light conditions on August 21, 2023. From the 11 vines selected, 9 showed visual symptoms of esca and the remaining 2 were asymptomatic to the naked eye. A total of 200 pixels were randomly selected from the dataset, 100 from asymptomatic leaves of asymptomatic vines (class 1) and 100 from asymptomatic leaves of symptomatic vines (class 2). Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis (PLS-DA) was performed to classify the leaves into the two classes. Classification rates of 97% were achieved in the cross-validation dataset. Models were externally validated at pixel-level using one image of an asymptomatic vine and another of a symptomatic vine. The visualisation of the images confirmed the correct classification of the pixels into the two classes, indicating that by using proximal hyperspectral sensing an early identification of the disease is possible.

Phytochemicals determination and classification in purple and red fleshed potato tubers by analytical methods and near infrared spectroscopy
(Wiley, 2016) Tierno, Roberto; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Riga, Patrick; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ruiz de Galarreta, José Ignacio; Proyectos e Ingeniería Rural; Landa Ingeniaritza eta Proiektuak
BACKGROUND: Over the last two decades, the attractive colours and shapes of pigmented tubers and the increasing concern about the relationship between nutrition and health have contributed to the expansion of their consumption and a specialty market. Thus, we have quantified the concentration of health promoting compounds such as soluble phenolics, monomeric anthocyanins, carotenoids, vitamin C, and hydrophilic antioxidant capacity, in a collection of 18 purple- and red-fleshed potato accessions. RESULTS: Cultivars and breeding lines high in vitamin C, such as Blue Congo, Morada and Kasta, have been identified. Deep purple cultivars Violet Queen, Purple Peruvian and Vitelotte showed high levels of soluble phenolics, monomeric anthocyanins, and hydrophilic antioxidant capacity, whereas relatively high carotenoid concentrations were found in partially yellow coloured tubers, such as Morada, Highland Burgundy Red, and Violet Queen. CONCLUSION: The present characterisation of cultivars and breeding lines with high concentrations of phytochemicals is an important step both to support the consideration of specialty potatoes as a source of healthy compounds, and to obtain new cultivars with positive nutritional characteristics. Moreover, by using near infrared spectroscopy a non-destructive identification and classification of samples with different levels of phytochemicals is achieved, offering an unquestionable contribution to the potato industry for future automatic discrimination of varieties.

A multi-year analysis of traffic accidents involving agricultural tractors
(AIDIC, 2017) Arnal Atarés, Pedro; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Mangado Ederra, Jesús; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Proyectos e Ingeniería Rural; Landa Ingeniaritza eta Proiektuak
The agricultural sector in Spain is responsible for a high rate of accidents every year, and many of them are traffic accidents. Tractors are a relatively rare sight on roads, meaning that the incidence of accidents involving these vehicles is relatively low, however, an above-average number of people are seriously injured or killed as a result of such accidents. Tractors are considered responsible for the majority of the occupational accidents in agriculture. Moreover, tractor overturns stand out as the principal cause of fatal accidents mainly because those accidents involved tractors without rollover protective structures (ROPS). Despite the obligation for all tractors of having a protective structure, the incidence rate of accidents with sick leave followed a rising line in the last ten years. Thus, in this study an analysis of the data of traffic accidents involving agricultural tractors in Spain, during the 2004-2013 period, is developed in order to identify the main risk factors that influence them. Official data from the “Statistical Yearbook of Accidents” published annually were used. A total of 2892 accidents were analysed. The results obtained showed that the incidence rate of both accidents and deaths were lower in accidents involving tractors than in general ones, but the consequences were more severe. In addition, the majority of accidents producing victims happened in interurban roads involving two or more vehicles. Defects in the lighting and brake systems were identified as risk of producing an accident. In the majority of the cases, the driver was the only victim of the crash. The total number of victims showed a decreasing tendency while the fatality index remained constant. The age of driver was reported to directly influence the number of accidents, with a high proportion of drivers over 45 years old. The main offences committed by drivers were related to inadequate speed and distracted driving. As much as possible we put our findings in an international context.

Esca represents one of the greatest threats to modern viticulture as it causes large annual economic losses. At present, there is a lack of effective strategies for disease control, so a technique capable of detecting affected vines would allow annual monitoring of disease incidence in the vineyard leading to a better crop management and decision making. This study evaluates close-range hyperspectral imaging for the detection of esca naturally infected vines. Images of 11 vines of the Tempranillo variety grown on plots in Bodegas Otazu, in Etxauri (Navarre, Spain) were acquired. A Specim IQ snapshot hyperspectral camera was used to record the images on August, 21 2023 on the field under natural light conditions. The camera has a spectral resolution of 7 nm (204 wavelengths) and a spatial resolution of 512 x 512 in the 400 ¿ 1000 nm spectral range (Vis-NIR). An individual image was acquired for each vine, of which 9 were symptomatic and 2 asymptomatic. Three classes were analysed: asymptomatic leaves of asymptomatic vines (Class 1), asymptomatic leaves of symptomatic vines (Class 2) and asymptomatic areas of symptomatic leaves of symptomatic vines (Class 3). A total of 300 pixels were randomly selected, 100 per class, for further analysis. Partial Least Square Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA) was used to classify the pixels into the three categories. An accuracy of 86% was achieved in the cross-validation dataset. Models were externally validated using an image of an asymptomatic vine and an image of a symptomatic vine. The visualisation of the images showed that the majority of the pixels of the asymptomatic vine image were classified as class 1, while most of the pixels of the symptomatic vine image were classified as either class 2 or class 3. Hence, this study demonstrated the potential of close-range HSI for the on-site detection of esca.

Análisis espacio-temporal de los accidentes mortales con tractor en España durante el período 2010-2019
(Interempresas Media, 2023) Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ibarrola, Alicia; Mangado Ederra, Jesús; Adin Urtasun, Aritz; Arnal Atarés, Pedro; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza
El sector agrario y el de la construcción son los que presentan los índices de incidencia de accidentes de trabajo mortales más altos de nuestro país, según los datos recogidos por el Instituto Nacional de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo (INSST) (2021) dependiente del Ministerio de Trabajo y Economía Social (Cirauqui, 2022). Si tenemos en cuenta la evolución de estos índices, el sector agrario es el único que no ha mejorado dicho índice desde la aparición de la Ley 31/1995 de prevención de riesgos laborales y su siniestralidad continúa aumentando (Fundación Mapfre 2020). Pero, ¿qué ocurre cuando el accidente lo sufren personas que no encajan en la definición legal de trabajador? Estos accidentes no son considerados 'accidente de trabajo' y, por tanto, escapan a todas las estadísticas y datos oficiales del INSST. Este suele ser el caso de muchos accidentes que sufren personas jubiladas, menores de 16 años, familiares colaboradores, etc. que no son personas vinculadas a la actividad laboral tal y como se define en la legislación. Según Arana et al. (2010) de un total de 388 accidentes mortales ocurridos en España con maquinaria agrícola durante los años 2004-2008, solamente el 61,85% de ellos tuvieron carácter oficial. Las personas mayores fueron el sector de la población con un mayor riesgo, seguidos de los niños y las personas ajenas al sector agrario. La mayoría de las muertes fueron debidas al vuelco de tractores sin estructuras de protección.

Proyecto Agroinc: prevención del impacto ambiental de incendios provocados por cosechadoras
(Interempresas Media, 2022) Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Mangado Ederra, Jesús; López Maestresalas, Ainara; López Molina, Carlos; Angulo Muñoz, Blanca; Arnal Atarés, Pedro; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Proyectos e Ingeniería Rural; Landa Ingeniaritza eta Proiektuak; Institute on Innovation and Sustainable Development in Food Chain - ISFOOD; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua
Las cosechadoras de cereales, por las condiciones ambientales en las que trabajan, alta temperatura y baja humedad, tanto ambiental como del producto que están cosechando, pueden provocar accidentalmente incendios durante la época de recolección. Los daños económicos y medioambientales que estos incendios suponen pueden ser muy importantes, ya que las condiciones de propagación del fuego son óptimas. Los principales objetivos de este proyecto han sido evaluar el impacto ambiental de los incendios producidos en Navarra en los últimos años y establecer una guía de buenas prácticas para su prevención.

(MDPI, 2022) Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Ibarrola, Alicia; Mangado Ederra, Jesús; Adin Urtasun, Aritz; Arnal Atarés, Pedro; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Ríos Eraso, Alonso; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
Currently, there is a discrepancy between the number of occupational accidents in the agricultural sector reported by Spanish governmental sources and those actually occurring in general. This is mainly due to the official definition of ‘occupational accident’ in the current regulations. In order to be able to analyse all fatal accidents involving tractors, other sources of information must therefore be used. In this study, we have collected the news published in different media during the period 2010–2019. Statistical models that take into account the spatial and temporal dependence of the data were used to estimate the rates of fatal accidents in the provinces of Spain using the Bayesian inference technique INLA (Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation). The results obtained showed that the total number of fatal accidents in that period was 644. The crude rates of fatal accidents per province ranged from 0 to 223.5 fatal accidents per 100,000 registered tractors. In addition, the overall rate for Spain as a whole was 6.87 fatal accidents per 100,000 tractors. As in other EU countries, it was found that the regions with the highest number of accidents were also related to steep terrain, to an older tractor fleet and to horticultural crops and vineyards.

Desde que en 1995 se promulgó la Ley 31/1995 (BOE nº269/1995) de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales se ha observado una disminución importante de la siniestralidad laboral en todos los sectores. Sin embargo, en el sector agrario esta disminución no ha sido del calado de otros sectores y, por ejemplo, los índices de mortalidad prácticamente se mantienen en el tiempo. Tal es así, que el sector agrario ha sido calificado por el Observatorio Estatal de Condiciones de Trabajo (OECT) como prioritario para el desarrollo de políticas preventivas eficientes que permitan reducir la siniestralidad en el sector en base al índice de accidentes graves y mortales ajustado por la población afiliada.
