Vers un environnement informatisé d'évaluation de la qualité ergonomique d'interfaces multimédia : Étude exploratoire
2000
Our objective is to encourage the human-computer interface designers to be more interested in the uses made of their product by taking into account to a higher degree the human-factor in the testing phase which often is too focused on technical aspects. We want to facilitate the integration of the user as a source of evaluation during the testing phase. Our aim is to offer the designer a software environment of practical tests that allow them to have their own products evaluated by their users. We undertook an experiment to explore the feasibility of this project.
Radiologists' leading position in image-guided therapy
2013
Image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are related to, or performed under, some kind of imaging. Such imaging may be direct inspection (as in open surgery) or indirect inspection as in endoscopy or laparoscopy. Common to all these techniques is the transformation of optical and visible information to a monitor or the eye of the operator. Image-guided therapy (IGT) differs by using processed imaging data acquired before, during and after a wide range of different imaging techniques. This means that the planning, performing and monitoring, as well as the control of the therapeutic procedure, are based and dependent on the "virtual reality" provided by imaging investigations. Since…
Outcome Quality Standards in Pancreatic Oncologic Surgery in Spain
2018
Introduction: To establish quality standards in oncologic surgery is a complex but necessary challenge to improve surgical outcomes. Unlike other tumors, there are no well-defined quality standards in pancreatic cancer. The aim of this study is to identify quality indicators in pancreatic oncologic surgery in Spain as well as their acceptable limits of variability. Methods: Quality indicators were selected based on clinical practice guidelines, consensus conferences, reviews and national publications on oncologic pancreatic surgery between the years 2000 and 2016. Variability margins for each indicator have been determined by statistical process control techniques and graphically represente…
Measurement of continuous improvement in the safety of oncologic patients
2013
Objetivo: Analizar la mejora continua en la seguridad del paciente oncológico, a través de la evolución de los indicadores de calidad establecidos tras la implantación de un sistema de gestión de la calidad (SGC) según norma ISO 9001:2008, en una unidad de oncología farmacéutica (UOF). Método: Estudio observacional prospectivo realizado entre Enero 2008 y Diciembre de 2011. La certificación ISO 90012008 de la UOF incluyó los procesos de prescripción electrónica, validación, preparación, dispensación y administración del tratamiento antineoplásico. Se establecieron los indicadores de calidad: errores de medicación (EM) de preparación y dispensación que no alcanzan al paciente, y EM que alcan…
Status Mutu Kualitas Air Laut Pantai Maruni Kabupaten Manokwari
2017
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konsentrasi Amonia, Nitrat dan Ortoposfat serta parameter lainnya yang tertera pada baku mutu air laut untuk biota laut dan mengetahui status mutu kualitas air laut dengan menggunakan metode Indeks Pencemaran (IP). Konsentrasi ammonia dan nitrat dari dua periode pengamatan dalam satu wilayah Pantai Maruni secara konsisten menunjukkan hasil yang melebihi nilai ambang batas baku mutu lingkungan, sedangkan ortofosfat pada semua titik sampling masih dibawah nilai ambang batas baku mutu lingkungan sesuai Keputusan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup No. 51 Tahun 2004 tentang Baku Mutu Air Laut. Status mutu kualitas air laut Pantai Maruni berdasarkan analisis Indeks…
IMPLEMENTATION OF A QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN A TRAVEL AGENCY
2014
The present research refers to the major problems existing in the Romanian tourism, namely, "manufacturing" and commercialization of certain products non-compliant with the user’s requirements in terms of quality. In tourism and hospitality industry, quality can be judged on the extent to which the service received meets the customer’s expectations. So, the quality is important for both customers and managers of various travel agencies, as it can contribute to making better products at lower costs. Based on theoretical approaches on quality management of tourist services, this paper aims to analyze the activity of the largest travel agency in Romania - Happy Tour and assess the possibilitie…
ISO 14470:2011 and EU legislative background on food irradiation technology: The Italian attitude
2014
Our work aim is to produce an overview of food irradiation technology at European Union level, with a focus on the Italian context, by specifying the legislative background, detection methods and labelling obligations. We highlight how consumers are too often misinformed about this technology and its benefits. For this purpose, a series of tools aimed at improving the amount of information have been proposed, allowing the consumer to make a free choice about whether or not to buy irradiated food based on the correct information received, independent from socio-economic factors. Finally, we show the common effort at EU and International level, represented by the ISO 14470:2011 quality standa…
AIR LIMBAH LAUNDRY : KARAKTERISTIK DAN PENGARUHNYA TERHADAP KUALITAS AIR
2020
At present the laundry business is one of the promising businesses with targeted consumers from the upper middle class who do not have much time to wash clothes at home. Like other industries, laundry also produces wastewater that can have a negative impact on the environment if it is not managed properly. This study characterizes laundry wastewater and looks at its effect on the quality to the groundwater/wells close to the laundry business. Water samples include TSS, TDS, Turbidity, pH , COD, BOD, Phosphate, and Detergent parameters analyzed according to SNI and/or the HACH method (DR3900). Characterization of the laundry wastewater samples show a high level of detergent and phosphate par…

Groundwater of Sicily (Italy) Close to Landfill Sites: Quality and Human Health Risk Assessment
2021
Groundwater close to three municipal solid waste landfill sites in Sicily (southern Italy) was sampled to determine the presence of contaminants and the risk associated with its possible use as drinking and sanitary water. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, and metals were investigated. These target compounds are the most common pollutants present in leachates. Risk Assessment Guidance for Superfund (RAGS, US EPA) was used to assess human health risk. Ingestion, dermal, and total exposure to these xenobiotic contaminants in groundwater were evaluated, and the cancer and non-cancer risk indexes were c…
