Sertifioidun puuraaka-aineen ja sertifioitujen tuotteiden tietojärjestelmän määrittely

Asiakkaiden kiinnostus tuotteiden raaka-aineiden alkuperää kohden on kasvanut. Puuraaka-aineesta tehtyjen tuotteiden alkuperä voidaan todentaa sertifikaatilla, jos puu on peräisin sertifioidusta metsästä ja sen alkuperäketju tunnetaan. Tieto sertifioidusta tuotteesta kulkeutuu asiakkaalle leimaamalla tuotteita sertifioinnista kertovin merkein tai merkitsemällä esimerkiksi tuotteen asiakirjaan sertifioinnista kertova teksti. Tutkimus tehtiin Stora Enson Imatran tehtaalle, jolla oli tarve uudelle tietojärjestelmälle. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli määritellä sertifioidun puuraaka-aineen käytön ja sertifioituina myytävien tuotteiden seurannan mandollistava tietojärjestelmä. Puun alkuperäketjun hallinnan standardit määiittävät, paljonko sertifioitua puuta kohdennettava tuotteelle, jos tuotteita halutaan myydä sertifioituna. Tietojärjestelmän määrittelyn lisäksi oli tarve selvittää prosessi, kuinka tuotteisiin ja asiakirjoihin saataisiin sertifioinnista kertova leima. Tutkimusta tehdessä selvisi, että tehtaan nykyiset myyntitoiminnot ja tietojärjestelmät asettavat rajoituksia tuotteiden ja asiakirjojen leimaukselle. Prosessia kartoitettiin mm. haastatt elemalla tehtaan ti etojärj estelmi en, myynti- ja varastotoimintojen parissa työskenteleviä ihmisiä. Haastattelujen perusteella koottiin myös tietojärjestelmän asiakasvaatimukset. Vaatimusmäärittelyä tehdessä huomioitiin myös alkuperäketjun hallinnan standardien vaatimukset. Määriteltävän tietojärjestelmän toimintaa pyrittiin havainnollistamaan tehtaan edustajille prototyyppien avulla. Lisäksi tutkimuksessa on pyritty havainnollistamaan järjestelmän toimintaa erilaisin kaavioin ja kuvin. Haasteena työssä oli tulkita standardeja ja kerätä yhteen toisistaan poikkeavia asiakasvaatimuksia.

Performance of diagnostic centers in the classification of opportunistic screening mammograms from the Brazilian public health system (SUS)

Objective To evaluate the performance of diagnostic centers in the classification of mammography reports from an opportunistic screening undertaken by the Brazilian public health system (SUS) in the municipality of Goiânia, GO, Brazil in 2010. Materials and Methods The present ecological study analyzed data reported to the Sistema de Informação do Controle do Câncer de Mama (SISMAMA) (Breast Cancer Management Information System) by diagnostic centers involved in the mammographic screening developed by the SUS. Based on the frequency of mammograms per BI-RADS® category and on the limits established for the present study, the authors have calculated the rate of conformity for each diagnostic center. Diagnostic centers with equal rates of conformity were considered as having equal performance. Results Fifteen diagnostic centers performed mammographic studies for SUS and reported 31,198 screening mammograms. The performance of the diagnostic centers concerning BI-RADS classification has demonstrated that none of them was in conformity for all categories, one center presented conformity in five categories, two centers, in four categories, three centers, in three categories, two centers, in two categories, four centers, in one category, and three centers with no conformity. Conclusion The results of the present study demonstrate unevenness in the diagnostic centers performance in the classification of mammograms reported to SISMAMA from the opportunistic screening undertaken by SUS.

Enhanced capture of healthcare-related harms and injuries in the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11).

The World Health Organization (WHO) plans to submit the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) to the World Health Assembly in 2018. The WHO is working toward a revised classification system that has an enhanced ability to capture health concepts in a manner that reflects current scientific evidence and that is compatible with contemporary information systems. In this paper, we present recommendations made to the WHO by the ICD revision's Quality and Safety Topic Advisory Group (Q&S TAG) for a new conceptual approach to capturing healthcare-related harms and injuries in ICD-coded data. The Q&S TAG has grouped causes of healthcare-related harm and injuries into four categories that relate to the source of the event: (a) medications and substances, (b) procedures, (c) devices and (d) other aspects of care. Under the proposed multiple coding approach, one of these sources of harm must be coded as part of a cluster of three codes to depict, respectively, a healthcare activity as a 'source' of harm, a 'mode or mechanism' of harm and a consequence of the event summarized by these codes (i.e. injury or harm). Use of this framework depends on the implementation of a new and potentially powerful code-clustering mechanism in ICD-11. This new framework for coding healthcare-related harm has great potential to improve the clinical detail of adverse event descriptions, and the overall quality of coded health data.

Managing the Front End of Innovation in a Networked Company Environment - Combining Strategy, Processes and Systems of Innovation

The objective of the thesis is to enhance the understanding about the management of the front end phases of the innovation process in a networked environment. The thesis approaches the front end of innovation from three perspectives, including the strategy, processes and systems of innovation. The purpose of the use of different perspectives in the thesis is that of providing an extensive systemic view of the front end, and uncovering the complex nature of innovation management. The context of the research is the networked operating environment of firms. The unit of analysis is the firm itself or its innovation processes, which means that this research approaches the innovation networks from the point of view of a firm. The strategy perspective of the thesis emphasises the importance of purposeful innovation management, the innovation strategy of firms. The role of innovation processes is critical in carrying out innovation strategies in practice, supporting the development of organizational routines for innovation, and driving the strategic renewal of companies. The primary focus of the thesis from systems perspective is on idea management systems, which are defined as a part of innovation management systems, and defined for this thesis as any working combination of methodology and tools (manual or IT-supported) that enhance the management of innovations within their early phases. The main contribution of the thesis are the managerial frameworks developed for managing the front end of innovation, which purposefully “wire” the front end of innovation into the strategy and business processes of a firm. The thesis contributes to modern innovation management by connecting the internal and external collaboration networks as foundational elements for successful management of the early phases of innovation processes in a dynamic environment. The innovation capability of a firm is largely defined by its ability to rely on and make use of internal and external collaboration already during the front end activities, which by definition include opportunity identification and analysis, idea generation, profileration and selection, and concept definition. More specifically, coordination of the interfaces between these activities, and between the internal and external innovation environments of a firm is emphasised. The role of information systems, in particular idea management systems, is to support and delineate the innovation-oriented behaviour and interaction of individuals and organizations during front end activities. The findings and frameworks developed in the thesis can be used by companies for purposeful promotion of their front end processes. The thesis provides a systemic strategy framework for managing the front end of innovation – not as a separate process, but as an elemental bundle ofactivities that is closely linked to the overall innovation process and strategy of a firm in a distributed environment. The theoretical contribution of the thesis relies on the advancement of the open innovation paradigm in the strategic context of a firm within its internal and external innovation environments. This thesis applies the constructive research approach and case study methodology to provide theoretically significant results, which are also practically beneficial.

Cambios en las Relaciones y Satisfacciones Intergeneracionales Asociados al Uso de las TICs = Intergenerational Relations Changes and Satisfaction Associated to the ICTs Use

This article presents data from two samples of Catalan adolescents from 12 to 16 years and their parents in 2003 and 2008. The main aim is to explore the changing relationships between parents and their children and the impact that the use of ICT has on these changes. The results show that over the time there is a greater involvement of parents in communicating with their children about this issue, which involves no greater satisfaction of adolescents with such communication, possibly by the perception of lack of control that his/her father or mother has

Machine Learning and Clinical Text. Supporting Health Information Flow

Fluent health information flow is critical for clinical decision-making. However, a considerable part of this information is free-form text and inabilities to utilize it create risks to patient safety and cost-­effective hospital administration. Methods for automated processing of clinical text are emerging. The aim in this doctoral dissertation is to study machine learning and clinical text in order to support health information flow.First, by analyzing the content of authentic patient records, the aim is to specify clinical needs in order to guide the development of machine learning applications.The contributions are a model of the ideal information flow,a model of the problems and challenges in reality, and a road map for the technology development. Second, by developing applications for practical cases,the aim is to concretize ways to support health information flow. Altogether five machine learning applications for three practical cases are described: The first two applications are binary classification and regression related to the practical case of topic labeling and relevance ranking.The third and fourth application are supervised and unsupervised multi-class classification for the practical case of topic segmentation and labeling.These four applications are tested with Finnish intensive care patient records.The fifth application is multi-label classification for the practical task of diagnosis coding. It is tested with English radiology reports.The performance of all these applications is promising. Third, the aim is to study how the quality of machine learning applications can be reliably evaluated.The associations between performance evaluation measures and methods are addressed,and a new hold-out method is introduced.This method contributes not only to processing time but also to the evaluation diversity and quality. The main conclusion is that developing machine learning applications for text requires interdisciplinary, international collaboration. Practical cases are very different, and hence the development must begin from genuine user needs and domain expertise. The technological expertise must cover linguistics,machine learning, and information systems. Finally, the methods must be evaluated both statistically and through authentic user-feedback.

Jakelukeskuksen tiedonhallinnan optimointi

Vuoden 2008 lopussa alkaneen talouslaman johdosta myös Polar Electrolla lähdettiin hallitsemaan kuluja aiempaa tehokkaammin. Eri toimintojen kustannukset otettiin tarkempaan ja entistä kriittisempään tarkasteluun. Tällä tavoin pyrittiin löytämään kohtia, joissa toimintoja ja prosesseja pystyttäisiin tehostamaan. Tämän diplomityön tarkoituksena oli löytää ratkaisuja Polar Electron ja logistiikkaratkaisuja tarjoavan Geodis Wilsonin väliseen kommunikaatioon sekä yhtiöiden väliseen tiedonhallintaan. Optimoimalla näiden osa-alueiden toimintaa pystytään saavuttamaan kustannussäästöjä sekä parantamaan toimitusketjun tehokkuutta jakelukeskuksen toiminnan osalta. Ensimmäisenä vaiheena projektissa tunnistettiin nykyiset prosessit ja kuvattiin ne hyödyntäen SCOR-mallin standardikuvaustyyppejä. Näiden kuvausmallien avulla Polarilla voidaan tarkastella logistista ympäristöä uudesta näkökulmasta. Konkreettisena tuloksena työssä saavutettiin viisi kehitysehdotusta, joiden pohjalta prosesseja pystytään muokkaamaan ja edelleen kehittämään.

Analysis of land use and occupancy in permanent preservation areas according to the hydrography of Ribeirão Água Fria - Bofete, SP - Brazil

The use conflicts are determined by the inadequate occupations of the soil, as it is the case of soil occupation inside of permanent preservation areas. This study aimed to determine the classes of the soil use and if there are conflicts inside of permanent preservation areas along the drainage network of the Água Fria Stream watershed, located in Bofete city - São Paulo, Brazil. It locates geographically between the coordinates: 48°09'30" to 48°18'30" longitude WGr., 22°58'30" to 23°04'30" latitude S, with an area of 15242.84 ha. The map of soil use was elaborated through the interpretation directly in the computer screen of satellite digital image. In the orbital data, the study area is inserted in the quadrant A, of image TM/Landsat - 5, orbit 220, point 76, passage 9/8th/2007. The Geographical Information System used was CartaLinx. The conflict areas of the watershed were obtained from the crossing between the maps of soil use and of PPAs. The results allowed the conclusion that more than half of the area (51.09%) is occupied by pastures, reflex of sandy soils and low fertility. It was also verified that although almost half of the watershed is covered with some type of vegetation (48.78% of natural forest /reforestation), it has approximately a third of permanent preservation areas used inappropriately by pastures (88.15%), reforestation (10.42%) and exposed soil (1.43%), totaling 343.07ha of conflicting areas, in a total of 993.26 ha of PPAs.
