Entorno Colaborativo de Trabajo: La Intranet 2.0 de la Consejería de Salud de la Junta de Andalucía

The Department of Health of the Government of Andalusia provides professionals of the Andalusian Public Health Care System a collaborative working environment (Entorno colaborativo de trabajo [ECT]) based on the principles of web 2.0. The ECT is organized into communities, understood as sets of people with a common interest who share a space with its own information and collaboration tools. This space is managed and powered autonomously by the communities themselves. This paper analyzes the use and degree of implementation of the ECT, considering the user communities and activity statistics in 2009 and 2010. From the data obtained we deduce that instrumental services have easier acceptance than collaboration and knowledge management services; content generation is focused on a small number of users; and communities associated with organizational units have less development than those associated with work areas or projects.

Análisis de las de las funcionalidades 2.0 ofrecidas por los repositorios españoles

Els Repositoris Institucionals suposen un element nou en l'entorn universitari pel que fa a la comunicació científica i a la presència digital de la producció de les universitats. Però l'entorn digital evoluciona molt ràpidament, així com els diferents agents implicats en la publicació científica. El canvi més important en la comunicació web que s'ha donat en els últims anys ha estat l'aparició dels serveis englobats sota l'etiqueta Web 2.0 en què s'inclouen diferents serveis per compartir enllaços, objectes digitals, gestionar relacions socials, reutilitzar informació, etc. Algunes publicacions científiques ja estan oferint aquest tipus de serveis. El present treball analitza el grau d'implantació d'aquest tipus de serveis en l'àmbit dels dipòsits institucionals espanyols. Per això en primer lloc s'identifiquen els tipus de serveis considerats 2.0 i que poden ser d'utilitat per a la comunicació científica. En segon lloc es comptabilitza quines d'aquestes possibilitats son ofertes pels repositoris i per últim s'analitzen els resultats per a comprovar les accions realitzades i identificar les possibles línies de millora.

Colorectal Cancer Classification and Cell Heterogeneity: A Systems Oncology Approach.

Colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous disease that manifests through diverse clinical scenarios. During many years, our knowledge about the variability of colorectal tumors was limited to the histopathological analysis from which generic classifications associated with different clinical expectations are derived. However, currently we are beginning to understand that under the intense pathological and clinical variability of these tumors there underlies strong genetic and biological heterogeneity. Thus, with the increasing available information of inter-tumor and intra-tumor heterogeneity, the classical pathological approach is being displaced in favor of novel molecular classifications. In the present article, we summarize the most relevant proposals of molecular classifications obtained from the analysis of colorectal tumors using powerful high throughput techniques and devices. We also discuss the role that cancer systems biology may play in the integration and interpretation of the high amount of data generated and the challenges to be addressed in the future development of precision oncology. In addition, we review the current state of implementation of these novel tools in the pathological laboratory and in clinical practice.

Modelling short-term ultraviolet exposure as an alternative to individual dosimetry

Background: Excessive exposure to solar Ultra-Violet (UV) light is the main cause of most skin cancers in humans. Factors such as the increase of solar irradiation at ground level (anthropic pollution), the rise in standard of living (vacation in sunny areas), and (mostly) the development of outdoor activities have contributed to increase exposure. Thus, unsurprisingly, incidence of skin cancers has increased over the last decades more than that of any other cancer. Melanoma is the most lethal cutaneous cancer, while cutaneous carcinomas are the most common cancer type worldwide. UV exposure depends on environmental as well as individual factors related to activity. The influence of individual factors on exposure among building workers was investigated in a previous study. Posture and orientation were found to account for at least 38% of the total variance of relative individual exposure. A high variance of short-term exposure was observed between different body locations, indicating the occurrence of intense, subacute exposures. It was also found that effective short-term exposure ranged between 0 and 200% of ambient irradiation, suggesting that ambient irradiation is a poor predictor of effective exposure. Various dosimetric techniques enable to assess individual effective exposure, but dosimetric measurements remain tedious and tend to be situation-specific. As a matter of facts, individual factors (exposure time, body posture and orientation in the sun) often limit the extrapolation of exposure results to similar activities conducted in other conditions. Objective: The research presented in this paper aims at developing and validating a predictive tool of effective individual exposure to solar UV. Methods: Existing computer graphic techniques (3D rendering) were adapted to reflect solar exposure conditions and calculate short-term anatomical doses. A numerical model, represented as a 3D triangular mesh, is used to represent the exposed body. The amount of solar energy received by each "triangle is calculated, taking into account irradiation intensity, incidence angle and possible shadowing from other body parts. The model take into account the three components of the solar irradiation (direct, diffuse and albedo) as well as the orientation and posture of the body. Field measurements were carried out using a forensic mannequin at the Payerne MeteoSwiss station. Short-term dosimetric measurements were performed in 7 anatomical locations for 5 body postures. Field results were compared to the model prediction obtained from the numerical model. Results: The best match between prediction and measurements was obtained for upper body parts such as shoulders (Ratio Modelled/Measured; Mean = 1.21, SD = 0.34) and neck (Mean = 0.81, SD = 0.32). Small curved body parts such as forehead (Mean = 6.48, SD = 9.61) exhibited a lower matching. The prediction is less accurate for complex postures such as kneeling (Mean = 4.13, SD = 8.38) compared to standing up (Mean = 0.85, SD = 0.48). The values obtained from the dosimeters and the ones computed from the model are globally consistent. Conclusion: Although further development and validation are required, these results suggest that effective exposure could be predicted for a given activity (work or leisure) in various ambient irradiation conditions. Using a generic modelling approach is of high interest in terms of implementation costs as well as predictive and retrospective capabilities.

O grau de orientação para o mercado dos hotéis em Cabo Verde

Dada a importância do conceito de orientação para o mercado e a inexistência de estudos que estudem o seu grau de implementação nas empresas Cabo-Verdianas, este estudo visa medir o grau de orientação para o mercado dos hotéis em Cabo Verde. O estudo foi aplicado às unidades hoteleiras do sector turístico em Cabo Verde com o objectivo de: (i) determinar o grau de orientação para o mercado dos hotéis em Cabo Verde e (ii) verificar a existência de diferenças significativas no grau de orientação para o mercado dos hotéis em função da existência de departamento de marketing nos hotéis, a área funcional dos respondentes, a localização geográfica dos hotéis e a procedência do capital social maioritário. As conclusões do estudo sugerem que em termos gerais, os hotéis, em Cabo Verde, segundo as percepções dos gestores, tem um nível médio de orientação para o mercado. Os resultados mostraram ainda que apenas existe uma diferença significativa no grau de geração e resposta ao mercado, entre os hotéis nacionais e os estrangeiros. Igualmente, constatou-se que, existe uma diferença significativa, no grau de geração e disseminação de informação de mercado, entre a percepção da área comercial e ou marketing e as restantes áreas das unidades hoteleiras. Entretanto, relativamente à localização dos hotéis e à existência ou não de departamentos de marketing, não foi confirmada a existência de diferenças significativas no grau de geração, disseminação de informação e resposta ao mercado. Due to the importance given to the concept of market orientation and the lack of studies which examine its level of implementation in Cape Verdean companies, this research aims to measure the level of market orientation of hotels in Cape Verde. This study was applied to hotel units in Cape Verde with the aim of: (i) determining the level of market orientation in Cape Verde hotels and (ii) verifying the existence of significant differences in the degree of market orientation of hotels which have or not a marketing department, the professional area of the respondents, the geographic location of the hotels and the origin of the majority funds. According to the managers’ perceptions, the results suggest that in general terms, the hotels, in Cape Verde, , have an intermediate level of market orientation. The results also show that there is a significant difference between national and foreign hotels regarding information generation and responsiveness to market. In the same way, there is as significant difference on the degree of generation and dissemination of information between the functional commercial areas and the others functional hotel areas. However, there was no significant difference on what concerns generation, dissemination and market responsiveness, regarding hotels location and the existence or not of marketing departments.
