This final year project presents the design principles and prototype implementation of BIMS (Biomedical Information Management System), a flexible software system which provides an infrastructure to manage all information required by biomedical research projects.The BIMS project was initiated with the motivation to solve several limitations in medical data acquisition of some research projects, in which Universitat Pompeu Fabra takes part. These limitations,based on the lack of control mechanisms to constraint information submitted by clinicians, impact on the data quality, decreasing it.BIMS can easily be adapted to manage information of a wide variety of clinical studies, not being limited to a given clinical specialty. The software can manage both, textual information, like clinical data (measurements, demographics, diagnostics, etc ...), as well as several kinds of medical images (magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, etc ...). Moreover, BIMS provides a web - based graphical user interface and is designed to be deployed in a distributed andmultiuser environment. It is built on top of open source software products and frameworks.Specifically, BIMS has been used to represent all clinical data being currently used within the CardioLab platform (an ongoing project managed by Universitat Pompeu Fabra), demonstratingthat it is a solid software system, which could fulfill requirements of a real production environment.

Printed electronics is an emerging concept in electronics manufacturing and it is in very early development stage. The technology is not stable, design kits are not developed, and flows and Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools are not fixed yet. The European project TDK4PE addresses all this issues and this PFC has been realized on this context. The goal is to develop an XML-based information system for the collection and management of information from the technology and cell libraries developed in TDK4PE. This system will ease the treatment of that information for a later generation of specific Design Kits (DK) and the corresponding documentation. This work proposes a web application to generate technology files and design kits in a formatted way; it also proposes a structure for them and a database implementation for storing the needed information. The application will allow its users to redefine the structure of those files, as well as export and import XML files, between other formats.

A travs dels seus serveis de gesti documental a les aules de la Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, UOC), la Biblioteca de la UOC actua com un veritable facilitador de l'aprenentatge i l'ensenyament i t un paper central en el model de aprenentatge de la universitat. A ms a ms, serveix com un model a seguir per altres biblioteques universitries en termes del que s'espera d'elles en el marc del nou Espai Europeu d'Educaci Superior (EEES) i la creixent necessitat que funcionin com a centres de recursos d'aprenentatge. Contribuint a l'xit de la biblioteca, el model d'aprenentatge i ensenyament de la UOC crea un entorn d'aprenentatge virtual i asncron per als estudiants, i permet a la biblioteca de la UOC ser present en totes les seves aules.

Per a poder comprendre la dimensi de les possibles transformacions que Internet pot comportar, cal investigar els usos concrets de qu es o ha estat objecte. En definitiva, cal realitzar investigacions empriques que aportin informaci sobre qui usa Internet, en quines circumstncies i amb quins objectius. En aquest context, sha iniciat lanlisi en profunditat dun cas especfic de comunitat virtual de suport social creada per una persona afectada pel trastorn bipolar. Lobjectiu duna comunitat dautoajuda virtual s proporcionar informaci i recolzament emocional a travs dInternet. Mitjanant una metodologia qualitativa sha realitzat lobservaci del frum virtual que penja de la pgina web Bipoloarweb.com. En les investigacions del fenomen dels grups dautoajuda a Internet, sovint sha destacat que a diferncia dels grups presencials, aquests noms poden aportar recolzament emocional i informatiu als seus membres. El tipus de recolzament instrumental o altre tipus dassistncia fsica, en canvi, no s possible en els casos virtuals. Els primers resultats de la recerca invaliden aquesta afirmaci general ja que sha pogut observar episodis diferents dajut instrumental. En relaci a la gesti dinformaci i producci de coneixement, ja es pot avanar algunes qestions interessants. En primer lloc, la quantitat i el detall de la informaci que en el frum circula sobre el trastorn Bipolar. La majoria daquests coneixements, per, sorgeixen directament de compartir lexperincia diria entre els membres del grup. Tot aix permet avanar la segent hiptesi de treball pel futur: a ms a ms de suport emocional i instrumental, aquest grup empodera el seus membres? Si la resposta fos positiva, el nostre cas tindria semblances amb altres fenmens com son les associacions de malalts.

Given the current economic environment, high-growth companies are particularly relevant for their contribution to employment generation and wealth.This paper discusses the results of a survey that was conducted in order to gain a deeper understanding of high-growth cooperatives through analyzing their financial profiles and then identifying key contributing factors to their growth. To do this, we compared this particular sample with other cooperatives and other high-growth mercantile companies.The results show the main drivers related to high-growth companies success. They are the competitive advantages based on the surveyed group, modern management techniques, quality and productivity, innovation and internationalization. Additionally, we have observed some financial strengths and weaknesses. In this sense, they are under capitalized companies with an unbalanced growth.

Recent literature has discussed the unintended consequences of clinical information technologies (IT) on patient safety, yet there has been little discussion about the safety concerns in the area of consumer health IT. This paper presents a range of safety concerns for consumers in social media, with a case study on YouTube. We conducted a scan of abstracts on 'quality criteria' related to YouTube. Five areas regarding the safety of YouTube for consumers were identifi ed: (a) harmful health material targeted at consumers (such as inappropriate marketing of tobaccoor direct-to-consumer drug advertising); (b) public display of unhealthy behaviour (such as people displaying self-injury behaviours or hurting others); (c) tainted public health messages (i.e. the rise of negative voices againstpublic health messages); (d) psychological impact from accessing inappropriate, offensive or biased social media content; and (e) using social media to distort policy and research funding agendas. The examples presented should contribute to a better understanding about how to promote a safe consumption and production of social media for consumers, and an evidence-based approach to designing social media interventions for health. The potential harm associated with the use of unsafe social media content on the Internet is a major concern. More empirical and theoretical studies are needed to examine how social media infl uences consumer health decisions, behaviours and outcomes, and devise ways to deter the dissemination of harmful infl uences in social media.
