Dificultades de la valoración de tecnologías en el ámbito universitario
Authors: Medellín Cabrera Enrique Alberto , Arellano Arellano Alejandro
Published: March 2019

La valoración de tecnología forma parte importante del proceso de transferencia de tecnología. Permite la definición de un precio, facilita la determinación de una forma de cobro, así como el diseño de los términos de transferencia más adecuados a ofrecer a potenciales interesados. Los métodos más comunes para valorar tecnologías (de costos, de mercado y de ingresos) se utilizan tanto en empresas como en universidades y centros de investigación. Su aplicación se enfrenta a situaciones y problemáticas distintas, según sea quién los aplique y en dónde. A pesar de la abundante literatura sobre la materia, pocos estudios empíricos se han publicado sobre las dificultades que obstaculizan la valoración de tecnologías en las universidades. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las principales dificultades que enfrentan los gestores de tecnología cuando valoran tecnologías desarrolladas en universidades, con el fin de comprender la problemática y ofrecer propuestas de mejora. Nuestra investigación sugiere que en el proceso de valoración de este tipo de tecnologías es común encontrar dificultades que pueden ser agrupadas en cuatro factores: a) Falta de información, b) Escaso conocimiento de métodos de valoración, c) Nivel de desarrollo de la tecnología, y d) Práctica empresarial de adquisición de tecnología.

Authors: Killoran Nathan , Izaac Josh , Quesada Nicolás , Bergholm Ville , Amy Matthew , Weedbrook Christian
Published: March 2019

We introduce Strawberry Fields, an open-source quantum programming architecture for light-based quantum computers, and detail its key features. Built in Python, Strawberry Fields is a full-stack library for design, simulation, optimization, and quantum machine learning of continuous-variable circuits. The platform consists of three main components: (i) an API for quantum programming based on an easy-to-use language named Blackbird; (ii) a suite of three virtual quantum computer backends, built in NumPy and TensorFlow, each targeting specialized uses; and (iii) an engine which can compile Blackbird programs on various backends, including the three built-in simulators, and - in the near future - photonic quantum information processors. The library also contains examples of several paradigmatic algorithms, including teleportation, (Gaussian) boson sampling, instantaneous quantum polynomial, Hamiltonian simulation, and variational quantum circuit optimization.

Authors: García Gil Johan , Mendoza Mantilla Daniel , Navarro Gil Pamela , Ramos Romero Marta , Barrios Vincos Gustavo
Published: March 2019

OBJETIVO:
La enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) y el temblor esencial (TE) son las patologías que con más frecuencia presentan temblor como manifestación crucial, no obstante, a pesar de que su fisiopatología, diagnóstico y tratamiento son totalmente distintos. El síntoma de temblor suele acarrear un desafío clínico para su correcto enfoque, lo cual lleva frecuentemente a confusión y subsecuentemente a tratamientos erróneos. En este estudio se pretende caracterizar, individualizar y describir las manifestaciones atípicas del temblor en pacientes con diagnóstico de EP y TE con el objetivo de proporcionar herramientas para aumentar la efectividad del diagnóstico de estas condiciones.

METODOLOGÍA:
Estudio observacional, de corte transversal, en el cual se describió cada variable por medio de medidas de tendencia central y dispersión para variables cuantitativas y frecuencias absolutas y relativas para las variables categóricas.

RESULTADOS:
Se encontraron manifestaciones típicas y atípicas para ambas patologías, siendo el temblor en reposo la manifestación atípica más frecuente en TE; se encontró en el 35 % de los pacientes (p = 0,0001). Para la EP, un 40 % de los pacientes presentaron temblor postural (p = 0,001) como manifestación atípica.

CONCLUSIONES:
Los signos atípicos del temblor en la EP y en el TE deben ser tomados en cuenta al establecer el diagnóstico clínico de ambas patologías, para intentar disminuir la posibilidad de generar un diagnóstico erróneo con un tratamiento inadecuado.
Encefalitis severa por el virus de Epstein-Barr en paciente inmunocompetente: reporte de caso
Authors: Peña Castellanos Iván Mauricio , Santana Porras Julián David
Published: March 2019

El virus de Epstein Barr (VEB) infecta a cerca del 90 % de las personas en la primera década de vida y, como los demás herpes virus, se mantiene en estado de latencia con riesgo de reactivaciones posteriores. La infección por VEB puede tener un curso asintomático o causar mononucleosis infecciosa (MI), especialmente en adolescentes y adultos. Rara vez, es responsable de infecciones en el sistema nervioso central como encefalitis, cerebelitis, mielitis, neuritis, encefalomielitis aguda diseminada y, más comúnmente, en relación con la infección por el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH), relacionado con el linfoma primario del sistema nervioso central (SNQ. La encefalitis por VEB no difiere en su presentación clínica de las demás encefalitis virales. Su diagnóstico se realiza mediante detección serológica de anticuerpos de respuesta aguda contra el virus o por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) en líquido cefalorraquídeo (LCR). Las opciones terapéuticas en el momento son limitadas y con una baja evidencia de efectividad. A continuación, se presenta el caso de una mujer adulta, inmunocompetente, con clínica de encefalitis aguda severa y marcadas anormalidades en las neuroimágenes. El diagnóstico se hizo mediante la detección de ADN viral en LCR, apoyado por la exclusión de otros agentes patógenos y otras posibles etiologías mediante estudios microbiológicos, patológicos y serológicos.

La parálisis pseudoperiférica es una presentación infrecuente del ataque cerebrovascular (ACV) isquémico, que suele llevar a un diagnóstico erróneo de patología de nervio periférico. Se caracteriza por una presentación clínica consistente en paresia de la mano o de un grupo de dedos y alteración de la sensibilidad que puede simular el compromiso de un nervio periférico. Se reporta el caso clínico de un paciente que cursó con parálisis pseudoperiférica, con compromiso motor predominantemente cubital asociado a hipoestesia multimodal en la región hipotenar, lo cual ilustrando la dificultad de la localización topográfica para explicar el compromiso motor y sensitivo por un síndrome mononeuropático, troncular, radicular o medular. Se resalta la importancia de una adecuada evaluación semiológica, que permita hacer aproximaciones diagnósticas acertadas para dar un manejo adecuado de acuerdo con el estudio topográfico en las patologías neurológicas.
A Novel Resident-as-Teacher Curriculum to Improve Residents’ Integration Into the Clinic
Authors: Hoffman Leslie A. , Furman David T. , Waterson Zachry , Henriksen Brian
Published: March 2019

Introduction: Graduate medical education depends on senior residents to facilitate peer education. Previous studies have described the benefits of resident-as-teacher (RaT) curricula; however, means of assessing these interventions have proven difficult. The purpose of this study was to provide meaningful evaluation of a novel RaT curriculum and scribing activity.
Methods: Didactic sessions on teaching skills were presented in July, 2017. First- and third-year residents then alternated scribing for each other for 4 weeks within the outpatient clinic to allow for near-peer educational exchange. Residents’ attitudes toward teaching and perceptions of teaching abilities were assessed using pre- and postintervention surveys. Independent reviewers reviewed charts completed by PGY-1 residents during the scribing activity, and compared them to charts from the previous academic year.
Results: All first-year (n=12; 100%) and third-year (n=10; 100%) residents participated in the study. After participating in the RaT curriculum, residents were more comfortable giving feedback to other residents and felt better prepared to teach and assess the effectiveness of their teaching. Although there was no significant difference in ratings between the 2016 and 2017 charts, reviewers noted that the 2017 charts contained fewer obvious omissions, and third-year residents felt the charts were completed in a timelier manner. First-year residents saw 16% more patients in 2017 than they had in 2016, which expedited integration into the clinic.
Conclusion: This innovative RaT curriculum with scribing activity improved residents’ teaching and communication skills and provided first-year residents with a more efficient and meaningful orientation into the outpatient clinic.
Corruption and Its Implications for Development and Good Governance: A Perspective from Post-Colonial Africa
Authors: Mlambo, Daniel N. , Mubecua Mandla A. , Mpanza Siphesihle Edmund , Mlambo Victor H.
Published: March 2019

Abstract: One of the many impediments to a specific region, country and/or continents political, social and economic growth prospects is corruption, the aim of this paper is to unearth the drivers and consequences of corruption in post-colonial Africa. Corruption is a global phenomenon; however when observing global corruption statistics and/or trends, it seems to be more prominent in underdeveloped continents such as Africa. Corruption in Africa is purely driven by low levels of economic growth, bad governance structures weak constitutions political instability, high levels of poverty coupled with high and ever-increasing levels of unemployment. We argue that post the colonial era, there has been a rise of corruption activities within the continent where individuals including some African heads of states have looted the continent of its resources meant for the general populace. In this sense, corruption takes resources meant for the poor, limits foreign direct investments (FDI) and has severe effects on a continent that is already the least developed in the world.
Leadershipâ€™s Thinking Process with Contextual Intelligence in Executing Diversification Strategy
Authors: Scheepers Caren B. , Maher Camrin Roberts
Published: March 2019

Abstract: Diversification is a popular strategy for growth in response to a volatile economy. Current research, however, devotes little attention to the leadership required to ensure successful diversification, except for theoretical contributions on leadersâ€™ thinking processes from scholars within the strategy discipline. This study thus conducted fieldwork in South African organisations to explore empirically how senior leadersâ€™ thinking processes, demonstrating contextual intelligence, contributing to successful diversification. A qualitative study was conducted by collecting data through semi-structured interviews from 15 executives with an average of 21 yearsâ€™ experience in senior management roles, who had been involved in diversification in South Africa. A critical incident interview technique was used, and interviewees offered examples of how they changed their way of thinking in creating an environment for successful diversification. The analysis revealed that continuous change was required to successfully implement a diversification strategy. Leaders demonstrated specific thinking processes, for example: being intently aware of their context, they filtered and compared this information to their schema or preconceived cognitive representations. In case of a mismatch, they changed their way of thinking; and directed contextual information to challenge othersâ€™ current way of thinking. Surprising findings included leadersâ€™ sensing otherâ€™s emotions and appealing to these through storytelling to elicit support for their diversification. Diversification requires organisations to invest in developing the agility and global perspective of leadership to increase awareness of trends in their context, their own biases and to shift their mindsets as well as purposefully challenging otherâ€™s thinking.
Income and Subjective Financial Well-Being as Determining Factors of Life Satisfaction
Authors: Koekemoer Dickason , Munyai Z. , S. J. L. S. Ferreira
Published: March 2019

The purpose of the investment is to improve the current level of life satisfaction by achieving investment goals. Investors tend to attain high levels of life satisfaction when their investment goals are achieved and lower levels of life satisfaction when goals are far from achievement. The idiosyncratic characteristics of an individual may often hamper the achievement of investment goals and ultimately influence the level of life satisfaction. These characteristics can either contribute towards low life satisfaction or high life satisfaction. Income and the subjective financial well-being play a determining role in whether an investor has a positive or negative life satisfaction. Hence, the aim of this study was to determine whether income and subjective financial well-being have an influence on the life satisfaction of investors. The results of this study reveal that a strong relationship exists between income, financial well-being, and life satisfaction. Investors who perceived themselves, to have high financial well-being were more likely to have high life satisfaction. On the contrary, investors with low perceived financial well-being were more likely to have low life satisfaction. Similar results were observed for income and life satisfaction since a positive relationship was also found.
Making images talk: Picasso’s Minotauromachy
Authors: Leyra-Soriano Ana
Published: March 2019

We can say that Picasso?s images speak to us, and, as writing, speak to us
from that space in which any text - far from being reduced to a single sense
- ?disseminates? its ?truths?. Using the figure and the story of the
Minotaur, Picasso devoted himself to one of the great themes of his
pictorial work. The word ?labyrinth? connotes, to the European mind, Greece,
Knossos, Dedalus, Ariadne and the Minotaur. However, the Greek formula
already represents a mythic and poetic outcome thoroughly developed from an
imagery forged in the remotest eras of our evolution. The relationship
between the image, the spiral, and the word, labyrinth is also linked to the
perception of a drilled earth, excavated, with numberless tortuous tunnels
which, in our imagination, provoke concern because they lead to the world of
the inferi, the unknown depths of the realms of the dead. Juan Larrea, a
little-known essayist in the sphere of philosophical studies, although, from
the outset of international renown for Picasso?s work, he gives what is
perhaps the best interpretation of Guernica and consequently also sheds much
light on the engravings immediately preceding the execution of this
painting, the Minotauromachy among them. The artist is not a prophet. He is
not foreseeing what the future holds for humanity, but he does possess a
heightened sensitivity that drives him to minutely scrutinise the conditions
of the time that he has had to live, and he has a transforming eye for the
symbols that constitute the deepest threads in the fabric of his culture.
Altruism in behavioural, motivational and evolutionary sense
Authors: Radovanovic Bojana
Published: March 2019

This paper discusses the relations between three forms of altruism:
behavioural, evolutionary and motivational. Altruism in a behavioural sense
is an act that benefits another person. It can range from volunteering to a
charity and helping a neighbour, to giving money to a non-profit
organisation or donating blood. People often dedicate their material and
nonmaterial resources for the benefit of others to gain psychological,
social and material benefits for themselves. Thus, their altruistic acts are
driven by egoistic motivation. Also, the final goal of an altruistic act may
be the increase in the welfare of a group or adherence to a certain moral
principle or a social norm. However, at least sometimes, the welfare of
others is the ultimate goal of our actions, when our altruistic acts are
performed from altruistic motivation. In evolutionary sense, altruism means
the sacrifice of reproductive success for the benefit of other organisms.
According to evolutionary theories, behaviour which promotes the
reproductive success of the receiver at the cost of the actor is favoured by
natural selection, because it is either beneficial for the altruist in the
long run, or for his genes, or for the group he belongs to. However,
altruism among people emerges as a distinctly human combination of innate
and learned behaviours. Not only do we benefit the members of our own group,
but we are capable of transcending our tribalistic instincts and putting the
benefit of strangers at our own personal expense as our ultimate goal.
Collective intentionality and autism: Against the exclusion of the “social misfits”
Authors: Lekic Kristina
Published: March 2019

The paper aims to shed light on Searle?s notion of collective intentionality
(CI) as a primitive phenomenon shared by all humans. The latter could be
problematic given that there are individuals who are unable to grasp
collective intentionality and fully collaborate within the framework of
?we-intentionality?. Such is the case of individuals with autism, given that
the lack of motivation and skills for sharing psychological states with
others is one of the diagnostic criteria for Autistic Spectrum Disorders
(ASD). The paper will argue that exclusion of individuals with autism is not
a threat for Searle?s notion of collective intentionality, as the notion can
be read as merely a biological disposition that all human beings share.
Furthermore, the paper proposes the extension of Searle?s concept of CI so
it can include behaviors of individuals who have the disposition towards CI,
but which was not evolved through ontogenesis; namely, for individuals with
autism.
Belgrade 1968 protests and the post-evental fidelity: Intellectual and political legacy of the 1968 student protests in Serbia
Authors: Pavlovic Aleksandar , Losoncz Mark
Published: March 2019

Even though Belgrade student protests emerged and ended abruptly after only
seven days in June of 1968, they came as a cumulative point of a decade-long
accumulated social dissatisfaction and antagonisms, as well as of
philosophical investigations of the unorthodox Marxists of the Praxis school
(Praksisovci). It surprised the Yugoslav authorities as the first massive
rebellion after WWII to explicitly criticize rising social inequality,
bureaucratization and unemployment and demand free speech and abolishment of
privileges. This article focuses on the intellectual destiny and legacy of
the eight professors from the Faculty of Philosophy close to the Praxis
school, who were identified as the protests? instigators and subsequently
expelled from the University of Belgrade due to their ?ethico-political
unsuitability?. Under both international and domestic pressure, they were
later reemployed in a separate research unit named the Centre for Philosophy
and Social Theory, where they kept their critical edge and argued for
political pluralism. From the late 1980s onwards, they and their colleagues
became politically active and at times occupied the highest positions in
Serbia - Dragoljub Micunovic as one of the founders of the modern Democratic
Party and the Speaker of the Parliament, former Serbian President and Prime
Minister Vojislav Kostunica and former Prime Minister late Zoran Djindjic.
Still, while some members became strong anti-nationalists and anti-war
activists, other embraced Serbian nationalism, therefore pivoting the
intellectual split into the so called First and Second Serbia that marked
Serbian society during the 1990s and remained influential to this day.
Effects of periodontal treatment on serum inflammatory markers and CD4T-lymphocyte cell count in patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection
Authors: Gusic Ivana , Djuric Milanko , Veljovic Tanja , Mirnic Jelena , Blagojevic Duska , Brkic Snezana
Published: March 2019

Introduction. Several studies have reported reduction in the serum
concentration of systemic inflammatory markers upon completion of
periodontal therapy. However, no studies have been conducted on the effects
of periodontal therapy on systemic inflammation in human immunodeficiency
virus-positive patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the
effects of periodontal therapy on the serum levels of systemic inflammatory
biomarkers and CD4T-lymphocyte cell count in human immunodeficiency
virus-positive patients. Material and Methods. The study included 34 human
immunodeficiency viruspositive patients with chronic periodontitis receiving
antiretroviral therapy. Periodontal parameters (plaque index, gingival
index, papilla bleeding index, probing depth and clinical attachment level)
and serum samples, assessed for the levels of interleukin- 1 ?, tumor
necrosis factor-?, and C-reactive protein, were evaluated at baseline, 1-
and 3-months upon completion of the non-surgical periodontal therapy. The
CD4T-lymphocyte count was measured at baseline and three months after
treatment completion. Results. Significant reduction in the values of plaque
index, gingival index, papilla bleeding index, and probing depth was noted
(p < 0.001), whereas the reduction in the median clinical attachment level
value did not reach a statistically significant level (F = 1.321; p =
0.261). Local inflammation reduction was accompanied by a significant
decrease in serum C-reactive protein (F = 5.765; p = 0.014) and a
CD4Tlymphocyte count increase (t = 2.321; p = 0.027). Serum interleukin-1?
and tumor necrosis factor-? did not change significantly as a result of
periodontal treatment. Conclusion. Periodontal therapy contributes to the
reduction of C-reactive protein and improvement of general health in human
immunodeficiency virus-positive patients receiving highly active
antiretroviral therapy.
Proliferation of B-lymphocytes in inflammatory and hematological diseases
Authors: Tesic Tamara , Lendak Dajana , Urosevic Ivana , Mitic Igor , Andric Vanja
Published: March 2019

Introduction. A proliferation-inducing ligand is a membrane binding protein
that represents one of the main survival factors for immature, naive and
activated B-cells, and is involved in the global immune response. The
objective of this study was to determine whether plasma levels of a
proliferation-inducing ligand may be used to assess the proliferation of
B-lymphocytes in patients with bacterial infections, B-cell malignancies and
autoimmune inflammatory disorders. Material and Methods. The study included
91 patients divided into three groups and 30 blood donors assigned to the
control group. Group 1 included 34 patients with bacterial infections
confirmed by microbiology and/or radiology diagnostic tests; group 2
included 32 patients with B-cell malignancies; and group 3 included 25
patients with autoimmune inflammatory diseases. All plasma samples were
assayed for a proliferation-inducing ligand using enzyme-linked
immunosorbent assay. The differences between groups were examined by one-way
analysis of variance test and post hoc analysis. Results. One way analysis
of variance test showed a statistically significant difference in
concentrations of a proliferation-inducing ligand in the examined groups.
The highest mean value of a proliferation-inducing ligand was found in
patients with established bacterial infections (x? = 8,294 ng/ml). Post hoc
analysis showed that a proliferation-inducing ligand levels in the plasma
samples of patients with bacterial infections were significantly higher than
in healthy controls, and patients with hematological and autoimmune
diseases, respectively. Conclusion. B-cell proliferation was increased in
patients with bacterial infections in regard to patients with other
disorders. Therefore, a proliferation inducing ligand can be used to
differentiate bacterial infections from other inflammatory disorders and may
be helpful in decision making whether to start antibiotic treatment or not.

Biomechanical evaluation between orthodontic attachment and three different materials after various surface treatments: A three-dimensional optical profilometry analysis
Authors: Kurt İrem , Çehreli Zafer Cavit , Özçırpıcı Ayça Arman , Şar Çağla
Published: March 2019

Objectives:

To determine the best bonding method of orthodontic attachment among monolithic zirconia, feldspathic porcelain, hybrid porcelain, and the impact of surface-conditioning methods using a three-dimensional optical profilometer after debonding.

Materials and Methods:

56 feldspathic porcelain, 56 monolithic zirconia, and 56 hybrid porcelain samples were divided into four surface treatment subgroups: (1) hydrofluoric (HF) acid etch + silane, (2) Al2O3 sandblasting + silane, (3) silicoating (SiO2), and (4) diamond bur + silane. The specimens were tested to evaluate shear bond strength (SBS). Residual composite was removed after debonding. Three-dimensional white-light interferometry was used to obtain quantitative measurements on surface roughness.

Results:

The highest SBS value was found for the HF acid–etched feldspathic porcelain group. The average surface roughness values were significantly higher in all material groups in which diamond bur was applied, while roughening with Cojet provided average surface roughness values closer to the original material surface.

Conclusions:

Variations in structures of the materials and roughening techniques affected the SBS and surface roughness findings.

Decubitus ulcer or pressure sore is a serious morbidity in elderly patients. The incidence of pressure sores in geriatric patients is 11%. Population at 70-75 of their aged had a two-fold risk higher for suffering decubitus ulcers compared with 55-69 years of aged people. The highest incidence is in group of 80-84 years old peole. Studies has found 95% of cases are preventable. Prevention efforts have already proven to be more effective and cost effective than treatment. Prevention efforts include mobilization, skin care, fulfillment of fluids and adequate nutrition, the use of tools / aids for body movement, environmental regulation of health care and education. Treatment of decubitus ulcers by administering topical material, systemic drugs or surgery should be done as early as possible. Keyword: decubitus ulcer, geriatric patients, prevention, treatment

Potilaan sujuvan ja turvallisen kotiutumisen edistämiseksi tarvitaan kotiutuskäytäntöjen yhtenäistämistä ja sähköisen hoitotyön yhteenvedon tietosisällön parantamista. Kotiutuslistan käytöllä voidaan parantaa potilaan hoidon jatkuvuutta ja laatua. Se auttaa muistuttamaan hoidon jatkuvuuden kannalta oleellisista asioista hoitojakson aikana, ja sitä voidaan hyödyntää esimerkiksi sähköisen hoitotyön yhteenvedon laatimisessa.

Kuvaamme tässä artikkelissa moniammatillisen kotiutuslistan tietosisällön kehittämistä hoitokertomukseen potilaan tulotilanteen ja hoitojakson aikaisen kirjaamisen yhtenäistämiseksi kirjallisuuden sekä erikoissairaanhoidossa, perusterveydenhuollossa ja sosiaalipalveluissa työskentelevien ammattilaisten (n = 82) yhteistyön tuloksena.

Kotiutuslistaan sisällytettiin aikaisemman kirjallisuuden, käytössä olleiden paperisten kotiutuslistaesimerkkien ja moniammatillisten työryhmien tuotoksena syntyneitä potilaan turvallisen kotiutuksen kannalta keskeisiä tarkasteltavia asioita. Kotiutuslista pilotoitiin Satakunnan sairaanhoitopiirissä. Pilotointi toteutettiin kolmella keskussairaalan vuodeosastolla, keuhkosairauksilla, sisätaudeilla ja neurologialla, sekä vanhuspsykiatrian ja kuntoutuksen vuodeosastoilla paperimuodossa. Pilotoitu tietosisältö siirrettiin sähköiseen muotoon Effican hoitokertomukseen (hokeen) osaksi potilaan kliinistä hoitosuunnitelmaa.

Moniammatillinen kotiutuslista otettiin pilotin jälkeen käyttöön Satakunnan erikoissairaanhoidon palveluissa. Kotiutuslistan keskeisimmät jatkokehittämistarpeet kohdistuvat asiakas- ja potilasnäkökulman esille saamiseen sekä sen tekniseen toimivuuteen potilastietojärjestelmässä.

Potilas- ja asiakastiedon käsittelyyn tarkoitetut ohjelmistot ovat kaupallisia sovelluksia, joiden tuotemerkit eroavat toisistaan esimerkiksi käytettävyyden perusteella. Aiemmat terveydenhuollon potilastiedon ja sosiaalihuollon asiakastiedon sähköisten tietojärjestelmien kertomusosioiden tuotemerkkien selvitykset ovat perustuneet kyselytutkimusten henkilö- tai organisaatiovastaajien otoksiin sekä erillisiin kyselyihin tai tietopyyntöihin. Selvitimme osana virkatyötä terveyskeskuksissa ja sairaanhoitopiirien sairaaloissa käytettyjen sähköisten potilaskertomusten markkinaosuudet vuonna 2017 sairaanhoitopiireittäin ja erityisvastuualueittain kaikissa kunnissa ja järjestämisen kuntayhtymissä. Vuonna 2017 terveyskeskuksissa oli käytössä kuusi potilaskertomusten tuotemerkkiä, kun luku oli yhdeksän vuonna 2002. Väestöjen perusteella markkinaosuus oli suurin Efficalla (43 %) ja Pegasoksella (36 %), kun se oli 7 % Lifecarella, 6 % Mediatrilla, 5 % Graafisella Finstarilla ja 1 % Abilitalla. Terveyskeskusten potilaskertomusten kuudella tuotemerkillä oli neljä valmistajaa. Sairaanhoitopiirin alueen terveyskeskukset käyttivät 1–5 potilaskertomusta. Yhtä potilaskertomusta käyttivät yhdeksän sairaanhoitopiirin alueen terveyskeskukset. Sairaaloissa oli käytössä viisi eri sähköistä potilaskertomusta (Abilita, Effica, ESKO, Mediatri ja Uranus) vuonna 2017, kun luku oli seitsemän vuonna 2001. Sairaanhoitopiirien potilaskertomusten viidellä tuotemerkillä oli viisi valmistajaa. Sama tuotemerkki oli käytössä yhdeksän sairaanhoitopiirin alueen terveyskeskuksissa ja sairaaloissa. Erityisvastuualueilla oli käytössä alueen terveyskeskuksissa 4–5 ja erikoissairaanhoidossa 2–4 eri potilaskertomusta. Sähköisten potilaskertomusten markkinat olivat erittäin keskittyneet (HHI=3300) vuonna 2017.

Different generations of consumer wearable activity trackers are prevalent with the increasing demands in health and physical activity monitor. This pilot study aims to validate one of the consumer wearable activity trackers, the Mi band 2 as a step measurement in free-living conditions.

Thirty-one healthy volunteers, aged 23 to 45 with 16 female (52%), wore both Mi band 2 and ActiGraph GT9X Link on their dominant hand’s wrist for seven consecutive days. The validity of the electronic activity devices was assessed objectively by average steps/day using i) Paired sample t-tests; ii) Pearson correlation. In addition, Bland-Altman plots were constructed to visually inspect the data and to assess agreement with the ActiGraph accelerometer.

There was a high correlation in steps/day between the reference device, Actigraph accelerometer and Mi Band 2 (r = 0.97, p < 0.001). No significant mean different in steps/ day and no apparent systematic biases in the Bland-Altman plots between step count measurements obtained using the Mi Band 2. Xiaomi Mi Band 2 provided valid step count measurement in the free-living conditions.

Tietotekniikasta on tullut keskeinen osa nykyisiä työympäristöjä, myös sosiaalihuollossa ja sosiaalityössä. Sosiaalihuollon atk-pohjaisia järjestelmiä oli jo 1990-luvun lopulla käytössä lähes kaikissa kunnissa. Aiemmin julkisen ja yksityisen sosiaalihuollon asiakastiedon tietojärjestelmien tuotemerkkejä on selvitetty organisaatiokyselyissä valtakunnallisesti vuosina 2001, 2011, 2014 ja 2017. Organisaatiokyselyjen ongelmana on ollut merkittävä (yli 50 %) vastaajakato. Selvitimme kuntien sosiaalitoimissa pääasiallisesti käytössä olleiden sähköisten asiakastietojärjestelmien tuotemerkit Suomen kaikissa kunnissa vuonna 2017. Erittäin keskittyneillä kuntien sosiaalitoimen sähköisten asiakastietojärjestelmien markkinoilla esiintyi 3 valmistajan 5 tuotemerkkiä 294 kunnassa vuonna 2017, kun sähköistä asiakastietojärjestelmää ei käytetty 17 kunnassa. Kuntien sosiaalitoimien sähköisten asiakastietojärjestelmien markkinoita hallitsivat Tieto ja CGI, joiden yhteenlaskettu markkinaosuus oli 90 % kuntien ja 95 % asukaslukujen perusteella. Tiedon Effica Sosiaalihuollon ja CGI:n Pro Consona Sosiaalitoimen markkinaosuudet yhteensä olivat 73–82 % kuntien tai asukaslukujen perusteella. Tuotemerkeistä ATJ/VATJ oli käytössä Helsingissä ja Vantaalla, joiden keskiväestö oli 427 000 (väestö 854 522 jaettuna kuntien lukumäärällä 2). Markkinajohtajista Effica oli käytössä suuremmissa (27 600 keskiväestö, 87 kuntaa) ja Pro Consona pienemmissä (9 600 keskiväestö, 170 kuntaa) kunnissa. Kuntien sosiaalitoimet käyttivät pääasiassa vain yhtä sosiaalihuollon sähköistä asiakastietojärjestelmää viiden, kahta 13:n ja 3–4:ää kolmen sairaanhoitopiirin alueella.

The value sphere of mythotype
Authors: Dik Petr Frantsevich ,   Kostanay Engineering and Economic University, Musiychuk Maria Vladimirovna ,   Magnitogorsk State Technical University
Published: March 2019

The research is based on the novel idea and concept of therapeology defined as a healing service for the implementation of the essential human desire for integrity according to the highest values of the spiritual life. The category of mythotype is introduced by the authors to reflect on the everlasting mythical facet of the spiritual life of humankind by a case study of Eurasia. Mythotype is a metaphorical wonderful statement of creative thinking about oneself in the common world and the universal peace in oneself; a cultural type of figurative understanding of life. Mythotype is promising for realizing the spiritual life of communities and creating a real unity of humanity. Prominent figures of the spiritual life capture the moments of the people’s everyday mythmaking. Through the philosophizing practices, they transform them into the patterns of spirituality that affect the movable layers of the mythotype. The positive spiritual and moral principles of the value sphere of the Eurasian peoples’ mythotype developed by the classical philosophers are interpreted as a spiritual ability to enter into a friendly co-existence of individuals and groups.
