The Role of Physicians' Digital Tools in Pharmacological Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
2022
Background and Objectives: The constantly increasing prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the advent of new treatment options have made management of T2DM patients more demanding. We aimed to (a) estimate the familiarity of general practitioners with novel T2DM treatment options, (b) determine whether a digital tool can aid in their treatment decisions and (c) demonstrate that an evidence-based digital clinical support tool can be made using an existing digital platform. Materials and methods: This proof-of-concept study consisted of two parts: We first conducted a simple online survey among general practitioners of three European countries to estimate their familiarity with no…
Prospective de la relation formation-emploi dans un territoire : Richesse des outils, cohérence de l'analyse et incohérence dans l'action
2005
05111; Cette contribution porte sur la prospective en matière de relation formation-emploi tant au niveau régional qu'européen : où en sommes-nous de la capacité de mobilisation de l'information économique et sociale ? Jusqu'à quel point le partage de l'information entre acteurs régionaux est-il possible ? Quel est le rôle des informations dans l'aide à la décision ? Quel est le rapport de la connaissance à l'action ? La réflexion s'appuie sur une comparaison des démarches prospectives mises en oeuvre dans le secteur de l'hôtellerie-restauration dans certaines régions de trois pays européens : la France, la Tchéquie et la Slovénie. Elle souligne la richesse de l'outil statistique existant p…
Negotiations with a risk assessment tool: Standardized decision-making in the United States and the deprofessionalization thesis
2017
AbstractThis article focuses on the challenges of decision-making in child protection. Comparative studies show that standardized risk assessment tools predict future maltreatment more accurately than interpretative assessment. Despite a long tradition of research on statistical decision-making, few studies deal with how such instruments are used and integrated into professional decision-making practice, and – from a transnational perspective – how specific national regulations influence such instruments and decision-making at street level. The article discusses concerns about the fact that such classification systems might have a negative impact on professional discretion. Based on a mater…
Wear modelling in mild steel orthogonal cutting when using uncoated carbide tools
2007
Abstract Wear prediction in machining has been recently studied by FEM although the use of numerical methods for such applications is still a very challenging research issue. In fact, wear phenomenon involves many aspects related to process mechanics which require a very accurate modelling. In other words, only a very punctual code set-up can help the researchers in order to obtain consistent results in FE analysis. The high relative velocity between chip and tool requires effective material models as well as friction modelling at the interface. Moreover the prediction of temperature distribution is another critical task; in the paper some different procedures are discussed. Subsequently a …
Le flore come opere aperte: nuove soluzioni per l’archiviazione e il reperimento di informazioni botaniche
2009
Negli ultimi due decenni si sono verificati numerosi cambiamenti nell’approccio sistematico-tassonomico allo studio dei vegetali. La moderna delimitazione di ciascuna specie può includere da un lato conoscenze derivanti dall’indagine a livello ecosistemico e all’estremo opposto quelle derivanti dall’indagine a livello molecolare. La tassonomia del 21° secolo sarà sempre più fortemente orientata verso una definizione “olistica” delle specie, che verranno archiviate non più solo negli erbari, ma anche, e soprattutto, in archivi digitali interattivi, progettati per fungere da “collettori di informazione tassonomica multilivello”. In tali archivi possono infatti confluire dati morfologici, biom…
An operator view on alliances in politics
2015
We introduce the concept of an {\em operator decision making technique} and apply it to a concrete political problem: should a given political party form a coalition or not? We focus on the situation of three political parties, and divide the electorate into four groups: partisan supporters of each party and a group of undecided voters. We consider party-party interactions of two forms: shared or differing alliance attitudes. Our main results consist of time-dependent decision functions for each of the three parties, and their asymptotic values, i.e., their final decisions on whether or not to form a coalition.
La géopolitique du foncier : pouvoirs et échelles d’action
2018
When it comes to land management, successive reforms to territorial governancehave resulted in power games that have placed intercommunalauthorities in charge of coordination without any clearly defined institutionalhierarchy. The interviews conducted with actors in the territories studied(the Communauté de communes [joint local authorities] of the Vallée deChamonix Mont-Blanc, Pays du Grésivaudan and Massif du Vercors) and ouranalysis of the public policy tools they use highlight the change in scale thathas occurred in land management. We argue that the geopolitical stakes ofland have been elucidated with the constitution of dedicated engineering,which invites us to distinguish between the…
Redzes asuma attālinātās pārbaudes iespēju novērtēšana
2021
Bakalaura darbs ir uzrakstīts angļu valodā uz 25 lapaspusēm. Tas satur 19 attēlus, 1 tabulu un 34 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Attālinātās pārbaudes rīkiem šodien nav nekādu vadlīniju vai regulējumu. Tāpēc ir nepieciešams nepārtraukti novērtēt šos rīkus. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija novērtēt redzes asuma skrīninga rīku pielietošanu attālināti. Pētījumā piedalījās 45 dalībnieki (vidējais vecums 31±5,3 gadi). Izmantojot FrACT10, redzes asums tika mērīts un analizēts divos dažādos attālinātās pārbaudes apstākļos: (1) ar optometrista palīdzību, (2) ar instrukcijas palīdzību. Rezultāti parādīja būtisku vidējā redzes asuma atšķirību starp abām grupām (p < 0,05). Tika veikta arī kvalitatīva aptauja…
Paradigm of tunable clustering using Binarization of Consensus Partition Matrices (Bi-CoPaM) for gene discovery
2013

Clustering analysis has a growing role in the study of co-expressed genes for gene discovery. Conventional binary and fuzzy clustering do not embrace the biological reality that some genes may be irrelevant for a problem and not be assigned to a cluster, while other genes may participate in several biological functions and should simultaneously belong to multiple clusters. Also, these algorithms cannot generate tight cluster…
