Supervision by the state prerogatives of french sports federations

2013

French sports federations have developed without any state intervention. They had their own prerogatives to organize competitions in their respective sporting discipline. By virtue of their association status, they were entirely governed by private law. However, following a decision taken in 1974 by the Board of State confirming the existence of a public service delegated to the federal structure, the legislation gradually devote the principle of granting their prerogatives by the Ministry of Sports through two acts: the ministerial approval and delegation of public service. Since the issuance of these acts is synonymous powers recognized federations by state law and that the delegation lea…

Personalized multimedia touristic services for hybrid broadcast/broadband mobile receivers

2010

This paper presents the topology of a multimedia tourism service that targets mobile devices equipped with broadband and either multicast or broadcast access capabilities. Multicast / Broadcast access is used to handle the delivery of multimedia data to many simultaneous users in the service area. The solution adopted is based on existing standards for mobile TV services, but introducing features that enable the provision of generic multimedia services on top of mobile hybrid broadband and broadcast networks. Furthermore, this paper shows how to use standardized interfaces originally defined for interactive mobile TV broadcasting to build personalized mobile multimedia services that do not …

Cancer screening and health system resilience: Keys to protecting and bolstering preventive services during a financial crisis

2012

The aim of this paper is to elucidate the rationale for sustaining and expanding cost-effective, population-based screening services for breast, cervical and colorectal cancers in the context of the current financial crisis. Our objective is not only to promote optimal delivery of high-quality secondary cancer prevention services, but also to underline the importance of strengthening comprehensive cancer control, and with it, health system response to the complex care challenges posed by all chronic diseases. We focus primarily on issues surrounding planning, organisation, implementation and resources, arguing that given the growing cancer burden, policymakers have ample justification for e…

Impact of orphan drugs on Latvian budget

2016

Background Number of orphan medicinal products on the market and number of rare disease patients, taking these usually expensive products, are increasing. As a result, budget impact of orphan drugs is growing. This factor, along with the cost-effectiveness of orphan drugs, is often considered in the reimbursement decisions, directly affecting accessibility of rare disease therapies. The current study aims to assess the budget impact of orphan drugs in Latvia. Methods Our study covered a 5-year period, from 2010 to 2014. Impact of orphan drugs on Latvian budget was estimated from the National Health Service’s perspective. It was calculated in absolute values and relative to total pharmaceuti…

Burnout Syndrome in municipal health managers

2016

Resumo Introdução Os gestores municipais da saúde devem responder às demandas de suas equipes e dos pacientes do Sistema Único de Saúde, enfrentando cotidianamente situações potencialmente estressoras. A sobrecarga no trabalho pode levar à exaustão física e mental, com esgotamento dos recursos emocionais, e desencadear a Síndrome de Burnout (SB), cujas consequências podem atingir o serviço gerenciado, uma vez que, ao desempenhar essa atividade laboral, tomam-se decisões determinantes nas ações em saúde que afetam muitas pessoas. Este estudo verificou a presença da SB nos gestores municipais de saúde do Estado de São Paulo. Métodos Estudo do tipo transversal no qual foram coletados dados soc…

IT Solutions for Business Process Management

2018

In the paper are listed the main types of architectures of systems for business process management. Thus, we can identify several categories of such architectures, namely architectures of workflow management systems, flexible workflow management architectures, service-oriented architecture, advanced service composition, and data-driven approaches. As such, there are two of the five categories, namely architectures of workflow management systems and architectures of flexible workflow management systems, and a methodology is proposed for developing solutions for business process management.

Drivers of peat accumulation rate in a raised bog: impact of drainage, climate, and local vegetation composition

2017

We used variation partitioning to assess the relative importance of drainage, climate and local vegetation composition for the development of a raised bog. As a case study we selected Teici (Teici) Bog in Latvia (north-east Europe). Explanatory variables together explained 74 % of the variation in peat accumulation and only the residue of 26 % remained unexplained. Our study showed that the local vegetation composition and dominant Sphagnum species significantly influence peat accumulation rates. The results of linear models revealed that, under natural conditions, minor drainage and even strong drainage of the peat is associated with a positive growth balance of the system. However, draina…

Data Compression Approach for Long-Term Monitoring of Pavement Structures

2019

Pavement structures are designed to withstand continuous damage during their design life. Damage starts as soon as the pavement is open to traffic and increases with time. If maintenance activities are not considered in the initial design or considered but not applied during the service life, damage will grow to a point where rehabilitation may be the only and most expensive option left. In order to monitor the evolution of damage and its severity in pavement structures, a novel data compression approach based on cumulative measurements from a piezoelectric sensor is presented in this paper. Specifically, the piezoelectric sensor uses a thin film of polyvinylidene fluoride to sense the ener…

CONFLICT DYNAMICS IN HEALTHCARE SERVICES: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY USING THE SYSTEM DYNAMICS METHODOLOGY

Σκοπός Η μελέτη αυτή χρησιμοποιεί τη συστημική προσέγγιση για να διερευνήσει τη δυναμική της μάθησης και του αρνητικού συναισθήματος στις συγκρούσεις μεταξύ εργαζομένων στο χώρο της υγείας. Η δυναμική μας υπόθεση ήταν ότι η αλληλεπίδραση μεταξύ των επιπέδων σύγκρουσης, πληροφορίας/μάθησης και αρνητικών συναισθημάτων που συσσωρεύονται στο χώρο εργασίας ως παραπροϊόντα της σύγκρουσης προκαλούν ενδογενώς την διακύμανση (ταλαντώσεις) των επιπέδων σύγκρουσης. Υλικό-Μέθοδος Πραγματοποιήθηκε αρχικά μια συστηματική ανασκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας και εντοπίσθηκαν 2 προβληματικά πρότυπα εξέλιξης των εργασιακών συγκρούσεων με την πάροδο του χρόνου (Group Disintegration, Groupthink) και ένα "επιθυμητό" π…
