Information Integration, Coordination Failures, and Quality of Prescribing
2020
Poor information flows hamper coordination, potentially leading to suboptimal decisions in health care. We examine the effects of a nationwide policy of information integration on the quality of prescribing. We use the rollout of an electronic prescribing system in Finland and prescription-level administrative data. We find no effect on the probability of co-prescribing harmful drug combinations in urban regions. In rural regions, this probability reduces substantially, by 35 percent. The effect is driven by prescriptions from unspecialized physicians and from multiple physicians. Improving the local information environment thus enhances coordination and narrows differences in the quality o…

L’OUTIL ET L’ETHOS
2015
On hésite à formuler cette évidence : le monde des organisations, en général, des marques, en particulier, constitue un univers permanent de signes et de sens, à la fois naturalisé et complexe. Rien d'étonnant, donc, à concevoir, dans le sillage exemplaire de Jean-‐Marie Floch (1990), les relations logiques et partant, épistémologiques, entre sémiotique, marketing et communication, pour appréhender marques et organisations. Pour autant, à remonter aux sources, ces relations de solidarité ont connu un parcours au ralenti, parfois contrarié, souvent négligé, au profit d'autres champs d'application, de la sémiotique aux organisations, ou d'autres approches, de la communication des organisatio…
Usytuowanie ustrojowo-polityczne ochrony informacji niejawnych w Polsce, Czechach i na Słowacji
2022
Za system ochrony informacji niejawnych w Polsce odpowiadają służby specjalne. W Czechach i na Słowacji do prowadzenia działań w tym zakresie powołano centralne urzędy cywilne działające poza systemem służb specjalnych. Instytucje zajmujące się ochroną informacji niejawnych w polskim systemie ustrojowym i konstytucyjnym są nadzorowane głównie przez władzę wykonawczą — premiera, podczas gdy w Czechach i na Słowacji głównym czynnikiem kontrolnym w systemie są specjalne komisje parlamentarne. Ochronę praw osób, których dane są przetwarzane w ramach różnego rodzaju postępowań prowadzonych przez takie organy, gwarantują we wszystkich analizowanych systemach politycznych sądy. Na Słowacji jest to…
Surrogate-assisted evolutionary multiobjective shape optimization of an air intake ventilation system
2017
We tackle three different challenges in solving a real-world industrial problem: formulating the optimization problem, connecting different simulation tools and dealing with computationally expensive objective functions. The problem to be optimized is an air intake ventilation system of a tractor and consists of three computationally expensive objective functions. We describe the modeling of the system and its numerical evaluation with a commercial software. To obtain solutions in few function evaluations, a recently proposed surrogate-assisted evolutionary algorithm K-RVEA is applied. The diameters of four different outlets of the ventilation system are considered as decision variables. Fr…
Supporting Cyber Resilience with Semantic Wiki
2016
Cyber resilient organizations, their functions and computing infrastructures, should be tolerant towards rapid and unexpected changes in the environment. Information security is an organization-wide common mission; whose success strongly depends on efficient knowledge sharing. For this purpose, semantic wikis have proved their strength as a flexible collaboration and knowledge sharing platforms. However, there has not been notable academic research on how semantic wikis could be used as information security management platform in organizations for improved cyber resilience. In this paper, we propose to use semantic wiki as an agile information security management platform. More precisely, t…
Generalizability and Simplicity as Criteria in Feature Selection: Application to Mood Classification in Music
2011
Classification of musical audio signals according to expressed mood or emotion has evident applications to content-based music retrieval in large databases. Wrapper selection is a dimension reduction method that has been proposed for improving classification performance. However, the technique is prone to lead to overfitting of the training data, which decreases the generalizability of the obtained results. We claim that previous attempts to apply wrapper selection in the field of music information retrieval (MIR) have led to disputable conclusions about the used methods due to inadequate analysis frameworks, indicative of overfitting, and biased results. This paper presents a framework bas…
Seeking Technical Debt in Critical Software Development Projects : An Exploratory Field Study
2016
In recent years, the metaphor of technical debt has received considerable attention, especially from the agile community. Still, despite the fact that agile practices are increasingly used in critical domains, to the best of our knowledge, there are no studies investigating the occurrence of technical debt in critical software development projects. The results of an exploratory field study conducted across several projects reveal that a variety of business and environmental factors cause the occurrence of technical debt in critical domains. Using Grounded Theory method, these factors are categorized as ambiguity of requirement, diversity of projects, inadequate knowledge management, and res…
Anomaly detection approach to keystroke dynamics based user authentication
2017
Keystroke dynamics is one of the authentication mechanisms which uses natural typing pattern of a user for identification. In this work, we introduced Dependence Clustering based approach to user authentication using keystroke dynamics. In addition, we applied a k-NN-based approach that demonstrated strong results. Most of the existing approaches use only genuine users data for training and validation. We designed a cross validation procedure with artificially generated impostor samples that improves the learning process yet allows fair comparison to previous works. We evaluated the methods using the CMU keystroke dynamics benchmark dataset. Both proposed approaches outperformed the previou…
Employees’ adherence to information security policies: An exploratory field study
2014
The key threat to information security comes from employees who do not comply with information security policies. We developed a new multi-theory based model that explained employees' adherence to security policies. The paradigm combines elements from the Protection Motivation Theory, the Theory of Reasoned Action, and the Cognitive Evaluation Theory. We validated the model by using a sample of 669 responses from four corporations in Finland. The SEM-based results showed that perceived severity of potential information security threats, employees' belief as to whether they can apply and adhere to information security policies, perceived vulnerability to potential security threats, employees…
