Melanin type and concentration determination using inverse model
2011
Abnormality of melanin production causes skin pigmentation disorders. Currently, assessment of treatment efficacy (under Physician's Global Assessment framework) only refers to visual conditions of skin surface and not the condition of the underlying skin layers and pigments. Albeit researches on models and simulations of light interaction with human skin have been reported, none has been specifically developed for pigmentation analysis of melanin types - eumelanin and pheomelanin. Therefore, our research objectives are to develop image analysis of skin pigmentation for classification and quantification of eumelanin and pheomelanin pigment types in human skin. In this research, the model is…

After OM 172/20, the attention of researchers was focused on the new way of evaluating learning objectives in primary school. It is also necessary to evaluate the degree of overall development of the pupils in view of the certification of skills.
Public logistics in management of medical entities (hospitals)
2014
The problem of public/social logistics application opportunities has been discussed in this paper. The public/social logistics is understood as the application of public objectives by the external entities within medical entities. There has been undertaken an attempt of showing that the greatest potential of costs reduction and processes diminishing in a hospital occurs in the logistics sphere. It has been indicated that the development of public logistics resulting, first of all, from the budget constraints is a kind of a panacea for the processes diminishing and the medical services effectiveness increase.
Networking strategies as enabler for competitive advantage creation: a market-based and a resource-based perspectives
2010
The purpose of this work is to explore the potential of networking strategy as a source of competitive advantage by integrating market-based and resource-based logics. According to the former logic a firm identifies operations performance objectives as drivers for achieving its wished competitive position and advantage. According to the latter logic the firm achieves a competitive advantage through the obtainment and/or the creation of valuable, rare, imperfectly imitable, and not substitutable resources. Both operations performance objectives and strategic resource needs should, thus, directly affect networking strategy decisions. The question is whether they effectively do and how. In thi…
Achieving operations performance objectives through networking strategy
2010
The main objective of this paper is to investigate how firms make strategic networking decisions in order to pursue competitive advantage. Literature analysis with theory building purposes and two case studies to support our theoretical findings and to explore the linkages between networking strategy and operations performance objectives constitute our research methods. Our analysis led to the definition of networking strategy in terms of decisional dimensions, and found effective linkages between networking decisions made by managers and wished operations performance objectives.
Determinants of health policy impact: comparative results of a European policymaker study.
2003
This article will use a new theoretical framework for the analysis of health policy impact introduced by Rütten et al. (2003). In particular, it will report on a comparative European study of policymakers' perception and evaluation of specific determinants of the policy impact, both in terms of output (implemented measures) and outcome (health behaviour change). Policy determinants investigated are goals, resources, obligations and opportunities as related to the policymaking process.Theory is applied to a comparative analysis of prevention and health promotion policy in Belgium, Finland, Germany. The Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland. The study is MED2-part of a project that has developed…

La calidad en la gestión de los Servicios Sociales Municipales: algunas experiencias de INTRESS
2011
Queremos presentar en este breve artículo dos experiencias de INTRESS en el desarrollo de buenas prácticas que puedan ayudar a la implantación de sistemas de gestión de calidad en las administraciones locales así como en organizaciones y entidades del Tercer Sector. Se expone pues, por un lado, la experiencia desarrollada en la Concejalía de Acción Social, Mujer y Familia del Ayuntamiento de Valdemoro (Madrid) a través de la formación de sus profesionales en la gestión por procesos y la mejora continua y por otro lado, la iniciativa 'Indicadores Sociales' desarrollada por la red de Consultoría Social, para el desarrollo de una Web de indicadores sociales que permita compartir resultados y b…
Il concetto di personalizzazione Evoluzione teorica e applicazioni scolastiche
2018
Dopo venti anni di studi e dibattiti sull’individualizzazione e la personalizzazione a scuola si è fatta maggiore chiarezza sulla personalizzazione della didattica, al punto che oggi si può affermare con sufficiente certezza e ampio consenso che un docente pratica una didattica personalizzata se, con specifiche azioni coltiva in ogni alunno sia le sue caratteristiche uniche e originali sia la sua capacità di relazione e di collaborazione in un progetto condiviso; se nella sua classe prevede sia obiettivi educativi comuni che tutti gli alunni devono raggiungere sia obiettivi educativi individuali per diversi gruppi di alunni o per un solo alunno; se fa svolgere agli alunni sia attività di ap…
Interactively Learning the Preferences of a Decision Maker in Multi-objective Optimization Utilizing Belief-rules
2020
Many real life problems can be modelled as multiobjective optimization problems. Such problems often consist of multiple conflicting objectives to be optimized simultaneously. Multiple optimal solutions exist to these problems, and a single solution cannot be said to be the best without preferences given by a domain expert. Preferences can be used to find satisfying solutions: optimal solutions, which best match the expert’s preferences. To model the preferences of the expert, and aid him/her in finding satisfying solutions, a novel method is proposed. The method utilizes machine learning combined with belief-rule based systems to adaptively train a belief rule based system to learn a domai…
