The need to design new modes of interaction for the enjoyment of urban environments and cultural heritage includes the component related to the experiential factor, memory and the possibility of exploring the different levels of knowledge. The role of design is to visualise content and improve the sharing and dissemination of information. Starting from the analysis of the new challenges of the hyper-connected and datacentric society and of the current models and intelligent systems of advanced and interactive fruition, the contribution gives an overview of the most significant innovations that have characterized the changes in contemporary society in terms of usability and accessibility. By investigating contemporary phenomena, it will be possible to draw up a complete map of the characteristics of the approach and classification of the variables, guidelines for the design of new systems and models of connections and interactions for the intelligent and creative "5.0 Society", able to absorb innovations from the fourth industrial revolution and improve productivity in support of social problems. Over the years, digital and virtual solutions have been developed that have changed the fruition of urban environments by proposing models of "intelligent cities" that are configured as digital and flexible places. The designer, reinterpreting the technologies of interaction, reorganizes the user's skills, increasing social knowledge by changing the experiences and interpretation of urban contexts to configure new forms of "humanization".

Multidimensional Concept

This chapter looks at the topic of health services quality from a commissioning and whole population perspective. Quality is noted to be a multidimensional concept and dimensions of quality are considered. The role of the commissioner in maintaining and improving quality of services is explored, and this is seen within a wider backdrop of a health system with commissioner and provider functions (if there are such distinctions in the system). Commissioners need to know whether they are securing quality care for their population for the money spent. They also need an understanding of how this dovetails with the provider perspective on this topic. Commissioners also need to be able to articulate what they wish to assess in practice under the guise of quality. Finally, at a system level there are also bearings on how to compile and interpret a picture of a population’s health if needed.

Purpose While the born global (BG) phenomenon has been well established in the literature, studies on accelerated internationalization of firms in the service sector have been scarce, particularly for the specific case of knowledge-intensive services (KIS). The purpose of this paper is to explore which competitive characteristics differentiate KIS BGs from other KIS firms in the context of a peripheral region. Design/methodology/approach The empirical focus of this study comprehends primary survey data from 250 Spanish KIS firms (Andalusia) that have been internationalized and analyzed through ordinal and ordinary least squares regressions. The authors address the “born-global effect” on five features of interest, namely, entry mode, technological capabilities, qualification of staff, external resources and quality of services. Findings Results suggest that KIS BGs in Andalusia perceive exports as a more relevant form of internationalization than its non-BG peers. Also, KIS BGs in Andalusia present higher levels of technological intensity. Differences in terms of staff qualification, access to extramural R&D resources and the quality of services could not be identified. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of this research concerns its cross-sectional character, thus hindering the evaluation of developmental trajectories taking place in the cohort under scrutiny. Such an approach would allow a better comprehension of the competitiveness dynamics in internationalized KIS firms. Also, because this assessment is geographically restricted to Andalusia, Spain, the authors recommend caution in establishing direct comparisons and appropriation of results for other regional/national contexts. Practical implications Recommendations for public policy include establishing the necessary infrastructures to encourage the technological development of KIS companies and provide support – through export promotion agencies, for instance – for early approximation with foreign markets. Taking into account the contributions of KIS firms for the development of a peripheral economy, this involves the need to establish instruments that provide strategic information to internationalize, as well as lines of funding for these companies. Originality/value Empirical evidence on KIS BGs is needed to fully grasp its differences to other internationalized service firms. The analysis within this specific domain represents an advance in the literature on this subject. Also, the context of peripheral regions – considering their economic differences to core areas – has been understudied. The elaboration and application of the survey have allowed the authors to have access to primary in-depth data and, therefore, to build a better understanding of KIS BGs in Andalusia, Spain.

The Relationship

Fatigue is a common and highly distressing symptom of cancer associated with reduced quality of life and considerable psychological and functional morbidity. The reported prevalence of cancer-related fatigue ranges from 4% to 91%, depending on the specific cancer population studied and the methods of assessment. Cancer-related fatigue has typically been underreported, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. Fatigue and depression may coexist in cancer patients, and considerable overlap of symptoms occurs. This is partly the reason for the interest in examining the role of psychotropic medications in treating fatigue. Clarifying the relationship between depression and fatigue is necessary to effectively evaluate and treat cancer-related fatigue. Even with International Classification of Diseases criteria, differentiating cancer-related fatigue is difficult. Psychotropic drugs that have been studied for cancer-related fatigue include psychostimulants, wakefulness-promoting agents, and anti-depressants. Methylphenidate has been studied most and seems to be effective and well tolerated despite common side effects. Some preliminary data support using modafinil in cancer-related fatigue with less concern about tolerance or dependence. Antidepressant studies have shown mixed results. Paroxetine seems to show benefit for fatigue primarily when it is a symptom of clinical depression. Bupropion, a norepinephrine/dopamine reuptake inhibitor, may have psychostimulant-like effects, and therefore may be more beneficial for treating fatigue. However, studies are currently limited. Randomized, placebo-controlled trials with specific agents are needed to further assess the efficacy and tolerability of psychotropic medications in the treatment of cancer-related fatigue.

The article examines the process of intensive development and globalisation of the restaurant business in Ukraine as a part of the service sector of the economy exposed to many factors different in strength, duration and areas of influence in the context of European integration. The article is devoted to the consideration of positive and negative factors influencing the development of hospitality. Among them are extensive and intensive. The development of hotel-restaurant business, its impact on the quality of life of citizens of Ukraine is considered. Particular attention has been paid to the changes and approaches which took place in the work of restaurants in pandemic and quarantine restrictions. The analysis of development of restaurant economy of Ukraine in 2003-2020 was carried out. There was a significant reduction in restaurants during 2014 - 2020. The direct dependence of the state of the restaurant industry of Ukraine on the development of its economy has been substantiated. It has been proved that the enterprises of the hospitality industry are gaining popularity, intensive development in conditions of political and economic stability, stable economic situation of visitors to restaurants, as well as preserved cultural heritage. Thus development of restaurant business is carried out in the conditions of European integration under the approved programmes. There is an introduction of new forms and methods of service. The analysis shows the relationship between the development of the restaurant business and integration processes. As a result of the study, an algorithm for assessing the level of competitiveness of restaurants was developed. The key criteria for the competitiveness of the restaurants have been established, namely: the level of customer satisfaction, quality of services provided, efficiency of management and organization processes in the restaurants, the level of corporate and social responsibility, competitive strategy of the restaurant and the competitive environment.
