Factors Contributing to the Business Digital Divide: A Systematic Literature Review
2021
The main aim of this study is to review the literature relating to the factors that contribute to the business digital divide. A systematic literature review was conducted using two databases (Scopus and Web of Science). A total of 28 articles were selected and analyzed. The selected studies are conducted in various developing and developed countries, including all firm sizes and different sectors, and cover several different digital technologies. Identified factors determining the business digital divide are categorized as technological, organizational, and environmental factors. The discussion and the potentials for further research are also presented.
Digital preservation in institutional repositories: a systematic literature review
2021
Purpose This paper aims to carry out a literature review on the implementation of digital preservation policies, strategies and actions by institutional repositories. The objective is to identify, out of the published experiences, at which level they are fulfilling the function of ensuring the long-term availability of the deposited materials. Design/methodology/approach Using a systematic literature review methodology, a total of 21 articles from international refereed journals published between 2009 and 2020 are reviewed. Findings The research production on this subject is very limited. The scarce number of published articles proves that the interest of repository managers has been focus…
Cancer: Clinical Background and Key Challenges
2011
This chapter is aimed at a wide audience ranging from biologists to medical students and cancer specialists. It provides a comprehensive overview of systems approaches to the pathology and treatment of cancer. In particular, it addresses diagnosis and therapy by interconnecting various aspects of cancer at both the molecular and clinical level, and contrasts the unifying features of malignancies with the daunting diversity of cancer types, stages, and evolutionary processes during treatment. The importance is emphasized of both prevention and innovative treatments in reducing the cancer burden, and of early detection as the link between these two major areas. It sets the stage for analysis …
I am right here with you - Constructing presence in distributed teams
2013
Based on a naturalistic research approach and observational data from real-life distributed teamwork, this paper illustrates how members of virtual teams in today's knowledge-intensive work places can construct and negotiate (social) presence together. Instead of seeing presence as an individual's interpretation and linking it with perceptual illusion of non-mediation or the assumed traits of chosen communication media, this paper sees presence as being socially constructed in interaction. The paper offers critique towards existing models of computer-mediated presence and offers new directions for research.
A Combined Non-Destructive and Micro-Destructive Approach to Solving the Forensic Problems in the Field of Cultural Heritage: Two Case Studies
2021
The present paper discusses the importance of non-destructive and micro-destructive technology in forensic investigations in the field of cultural heritage. Recent technological developments and the wide availability of modern analytical instrumentation are creating new possibilities for performing scientific measurements and acquiring data directly on-site—thereby limiting, where possible, sampling activity—as well as learning about the technologies and materials that were employed in the past to create cultural assets. Information on periods, chemical composition, manufacturing techniques, etc., can be gathered more easily. Overall, the benefits of on-site forensic investigations are mult…
Technologies supporting vision screening: a protocol for a scoping review
2021
Introduction Vision problems affect academic performance, social and mental health. Most traditional vision screening methods rely on human expert assessments based on a set of vision tests. As technology advances, new instruments and computerised tools are available for complementing vision screening. The scoping review based on this protocol aims to investigate current technologies for vision screening, what vision tests can be complemented by technologies, and how these can support vision screening by providing measurements. Methods and analysis The planned review will utilise the PRISMA extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) tool. Electronic search will be performed in databases, i…
Analysis of the Russian and World Marker of Telemedicine and Biochipping: Features and Development Prospects
2019
The paper considers the telemedicine and biochipping market and studies the peculiarities of its development and problems in different countries. The purpose is to study the experience of telemedicine and biochipping in the world, and its features and prospects of development. The authors used methods of generalization, comparison, sampling, regression analysis, scientific articles and expert opinions to make a comparative analysis of the experience and results of the implementation of biochipping and telemedicine. The following conclusion was made: with the introduction of biochipping, the problem of a large number of long-term hospital and false ambulance calls will be solved, and the bod…
Decision support system for telemedicine based on multiple expertise
2002
This paper discusses results of the research in the area of artificial intelligence applications in telemedicine. The main goal of research is to manage multiple expertise obtained from experts-physicians in different countries to develop decision support medical system of broad earmarking based on telecommunication tools. The multilevel representation of medical data is discussed based on the apparatus of metastatistics. The technique is able to acquire semantically essential information from complex dynamics of quasi-periodical medical signals by applying recursively ordinary statistical tools. The voting-type technique is used to find consensus among medical experts in their description …
Issues in synthetic data generation for advanced manufacturing
2017
To have any chance of application in real world, advanced manufacturing research in data analytics needs to explore and prove itself with real-world manufacturing data. Limited access to real-world data largely contrasts with the need for data of varied types and larger quantity for research. Use of virtual data is a promising approach to make up for the lack of access. This paper explores the issues, identifies challenges, and suggests requirements and desirable features in the generation of virtual data. These issues, requirements, and features can be used by researchers to build virtual data generators and gain experience that will provide data to data scientists while avoiding known or …
Event generation and statistical sampling for physics with deep generative models and a density information buffer
2021
Simulating nature and in particular processes in particle physics require expensive computations and sometimes would take much longer than scientists can afford. Here, we explore ways to a solution for this problem by investigating recent advances in generative modeling and present a study for the generation of events from a physical process with deep generative models. The simulation of physical processes requires not only the production of physical events, but to also ensure that these events occur with the correct frequencies. We investigate the feasibility of learning the event generation and the frequency of occurrence with several generative machine learning models to produce events l…
