Creating the Socio-technical Context Needed to Derive Benefits from Big Data Initiatives in Healthcare
2021
The application of big data in healthcare typifies a complex socio-technical sys- tem. However, although research and practice have advanced the technical aspects of big data, comparable advancements in the social aspects (i.e., human and structural aspects) are lagging. Literature, especially on socio-technical theory, suggests that organizations may only derive benefits from big data initiatives when technical initiatives are adequate- ly complemented by social interventions. Thus, seeing that big data is receiving consider- able attention in healthcare, researchers have called for further research into the social aspects of the application of big data in healthcare. Adopting a socio-tech…
Toward modernizing the systematic review pipeline in genetics: efficient updating via data mining
2012
Purpose: The aim of this study was to demonstrate that modern data mining tools can be used as one step in reducing the labor necessary to produce and maintain systematic reviews. Methods: We used four continuously updated, manually curated resources that summarize MEDLINE-indexed articles in entire fields using systematic review methods (PDGene, AlzGene, and SzGene for genetic determinants of Parkinson disease, Alzheimer disease, and schizophrenia, respectively; and the Tufts Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) Registry for cost-effectiveness analyses). In each data set, we trained a classification model on citations screened up until 2009. We then evaluated the ability of the model to class…
ISEBA – A Framework for IS Evolution Benefit Assessment
2005
Decisions regarding information system evolution strategy, including modernization or replacement, are economically significant. Selection of a proper method for analyzing potential options, acquisition of suitable metrics or follow-up data, and evaluation of the results are major challenges in the evolution strategy decision making. In order to address these challenges, a framework for Information System Evolution Benefit Assessment (ISEBA) was developed. ISEBA provides assistance in the selection of a benefit-evaluation method for the investment situation at hand. It is based on empirical research on industrial decision making and co-operation projects, and examination of existing researc…
Alternative measures of body composition and wage premium: New evidence from Indonesia

2022
Równość i solidarność to wartości, które w powszechnym ubezpieczeniu zdrowotnym przybierają postać zasad prawnych mających umocowanie zarówno w konstytucyjnej dyrektywie równego, bez względu na sytuację materialną obywatela, dostępu do świadczeń opieki zdrowotnej finansowanych ze środków publicznych (art. 68 ust. 2 Konstytucji RP), jak i ustawowym postanowieniu, że ubezpieczenie zdrowotne opiera się na zasadzie równego traktowania i solidarności społecznej (art. 65 pkt 1 ustawy o świadczeniach opieki zdrowotnej finansowanych ze środków publicznych). Relacja obu tych zasad w ramach powszechnego ubezpieczenia zdrowotnego polega na tym, że wiele istniejących odstępstw od równego traktowania uz…

Predator-Induced Plasticity on Warning Signal and Larval Life-History Traits of the Aposematic Wood Tiger Moth, Arctia plantaginis
2021
Correction Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution Volume 9 Article Number 737651 DOI 10.3389/fevo.2021.737651 Published JUL 29 2021 Predator-induced plasticity in life-history and antipredator traits during the larval period has been extensively studied in organisms with complex life-histories. However, it is unclear whether different levels of predation could induce warning signals in aposematic organisms. Here, we investigated whether predator-simulated handling affects warning coloration and life-history traits in the aposematic wood tiger moth larva, Arctia plantaginis. As juveniles, a larger orange patch on an otherwise black body signifies a more efficient warning signal against predators…
