The present document aims to record the main actions that Cyprus needs to carry out in order to draw up a comprehensive long–term sustainable energy strategy for its transition from carbon economy to hydrogen economy. It provides a brief description of the European sustainable energy strategy up to 2050, with reference to the basic principles for the trading of greenhouse gas emissions. It also offers a discussion on the cost of renewable energy sources with regard to the energy transition and ways to reduce this cost. Furthermore, it describes Cyprus’s transition to the hydrogen economy by 2050, focusing on the importance of electricity interconnections and Cyprus’s crucial role with respect to the transition of Southeastern Mediterranean countries to hydrogen economy and how they could become energy exporters to Europe. Last but not least, this document presents the framework for drafting a long–term energy strategy for Cyprus, followed by a report on how this strategy could constitute an agreement between all political groups in Cyprus. In so doing, it pinpoints the year 2050 as a target for the energy transition of Cyprus to a hydrogen economy.

The present perspective aims to record the main actions that Cyprus, as a case study, needs to carry out in order to draw up a comprehensive long–term sustainable energy strategy for its transition from carbon economy to hydrogen economy. A brief description of the European sustainable energy strategy up to 2050 is provided. A transition to hydrogen economy by 2050, focusing on the importance of electricity interconnections including Cyprus’ crucial role with respect to the transition of Southeastern Mediterranean countries to hydrogen economy and how they could become energy exporters to Europe is discussed. Last but not least, this perspective presents the framework for drafting a long–term energy strategy for Cyprus and provides a set of targets for Cyprus’ energy transition to hydrogen economy by the year 2050

This article examines the emerging application of systemic design methodology within government as practiced by the Alberta Public Service in Edmonton, Canada. A case study, from a practitioner’s perspective, for systemic policy design is presented as an innovation facing approach useful for cultural change and decision-support.  Lessons about applying systemic design within government and essential capabilities and qualities of practitioners are outlined. For some systemic designers, government might be the best place to effect systemic change especially those particularly concerned about advancing stewardship and innovation within the culture of government. This article is useful to public sector practitioners interested in applying systemic methodology to complex and long-term policy predicaments.

Summary Objective: To summarize recent research and propose a selection of best papers published in 2014 in the field of computerized clinical decision support for the Decision Support section of the IMIA yearbook.Method: A literature review was performed by searching two bibliographic databases for papers related to clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) and computerized provider order entry systems in order to select a list of candidate best papers to be then peer-reviewed by external reviewers. A consensus meeting between the two section editors and the editorial team was finally organized to conclude on the selection of best papers. Results: Among the 1,254 returned papers published in 2014, the full review process selected four best papers. The first one is an experimental contribution to a better understanding of unintended uses of CDSSs. The second paper describes the effective use of previously collected data to tailor and adapt a CDSS. The third paper presents an innovative application that uses pharmacogenomic information to support personalized medicine. The fourth paper reports on the long-term effect of the routine use of a CDSS for antibiotic therapy. Conclusions: As health information technologies spread more and more meaningfully, CDSSs are improving to answer users’ needs more accurately. The exploitation of previously collected data and the use of genomic data for decision support has started to materialize. However, more work is still needed to address issues related to the correct usage of such technologies, and to assess their effective impact in the long term.

A vállalatok működése szempontjából a döntéstámogató funkció folyamatos fejlesztése, monitorozása kiemelt jelentőségű, hiszen az vezetést támogató eszközként segíti a menedzsmentfeladatok ellátását. Az üzleti intelligencia (business intelligence, BI) olyan infokommunikációs megoldás, mely a vállalati rendszerekből különböző adatforrásokat felhasználva képes az adatok összekapcsolására és elemzésére. A napi üzletmenet gördülékeny biztosítása céljából alkalmazott tranzakciós rendszerektől eltérően a BI-eszközök beszámolás orientáltak, a fókusz a döntéstámogatásra helyeződik. A kutatás a fogalmak tisztázását követően képet ad a legfrissebb üzleti intelligencia trendekről. A tanulmány szakmai mélyinterjúk elemzésén keresztül betekintést nyújt az üzleti intelligencia megoldások világába. A kutatás eredményeként az olvasó képet kaphat a BI bevezetésétől várt eredményekről, az implementáció és a hosszú távú működtetés sikerkritériumait illetően. --- Gergely GORCSI - Gergo BARTA - Zsuzsanna SZELES Success criteria for the application of business intelligence solutions In the running of any given company, continuous improvement and monitoring of decision support functions is crucial for such activities to serve as tools to support management tasks. Business Intelligence (BI) is an infocommunication tool that connects and analyses data from corporate systems using varied data sources. Unlike transactional systems that are used to ensure the sound operation of day-to-day business, BI tools are report-oriented, and focus on decision support. Reviewing related concepts, this research gives an overview of the latest business intelligence trends. Our study sets out to provide an insight into the world of business intelligence solutions by analysing professional, in-depth interviews. Through our research, one will become familiar with the results expected from the introduction of BI, in relation to the success criteria of its implementation and long-term operation.
