At the University of Murcia, they have decided to limit the space for Collaborating Researchers.
This is a major problem for me after years and years of research, as I have thousands and thousands of files with important data stored on my OneDrive at the University.
For 30 years, I have developed a very innovative line of research on the impact of antibiotic use on bacterial resistance.
Our methodological proposal has been well received by the scientific community, and other authors have followed our proposals: See OTHER RELATED BIBLIOGRAPHY at http://thresholdsnetwork.org/research/published-
research/
The project has made it possible to:
- quantify the impact of antibiotic use on resistance, measured ecologically. How much resistance increases in a given setting (hospital, healthcare center, etc.) each time a clinician decides to treat a patient with a particular antibiotic.
- Determine the time interval, in months, required for antibiotic use to modify the bacterial ecosystem, due to the observation that the impact of antimicrobial use is not contemporaneous; it requires a certain time.
Initially, our approach was linear: the impact of antibiotic use is always the same regardless of the level of use. We later observed that the linear model might not be adequate, and that a certain level of use might be required for resistance to emerge: a non-linear model. That is, there must be thresholds of antibiotic use above which resistance is triggered, and below which resistance remains at acceptable levels or does not exist as an epidemic phenomenon. We have published several papers in this regard, in BMJ Open and Lancet Infectious Diseases, and recently, a multicenter study attempting to verify the hypothesis in several hospitals in different European countries (France, the United Kingdom, Hungary, and Spain) was accepted for publication in Nature Microbiology. The application of the nonlinear model can be enormously useful if our hypotheses are verified. Indeed, in theory,
we could determine the extent to which an antibiotic can be used in a given setting without developing resistance. On the other hand, we have developed Empirical Antibiotic Therapy Guidelines based on the study of local bacterial epidemiology and the level of local resistance (using predictions from Time Series Analysis (ARIMA) models).
A line of research of this level could not be left without support due to a whim from the University of Murcia.
I have opted to use cloudHQ to transfer all my files to my Google Drive site.
I have read a lot about cloudHQ: I initially tested it with Multicloud, but found it to be limited.
Later, I read a comparative review at https://www.cloudwards.net/multcloud-alternative/ and specifically about cloudHQ.
In a changing world, it is important to have several alternatives for hosting our files in the cloud. You never know what might happen.
I think it's a good solution.
I'll tell you about my experience.
