Smartphone Apps

SummaryPrevious studies have demonstrated that smartphones are useful tools in everyday, evidence-based medical practice. This article gives an overview of the current use in psychiatry of smartphone apps aimed at patients and the general public, highlighting associated benefits and disadvantages. It also outlines how practising psychiatrists could embrace such technologies at an individual, organisational and national level.

This article discusses the state-of-the art of digital archives for archaeological research in Argentina. It also presents and characterises the national and international legal framework and the role played by funding agencies and professional bodies in archaeological practice. In addition, it reports how legal corpora regulate the impact on the management of archaeological digital data. Research infrastructures available at the national level are described, such as the Suquía, an institutional digital archive devoted to archaeology since 2016. Finally, we make a general evaluation of the status quo of research infrastructures mostly concerned with preserving and disseminating data from archaeological research at the national level.

Threat Situation

Many organisations, especially Critical Infrastructures, are facing an increasingly severe cyber threat situation and are continuously improving their IT-security. We present the state of the art of sector specific security operation of CI operators with the German health sector as an example. To improve the situation we propose several spheres of activity with practical exemplary measures, e.g. for relevant protocols. In this way we help to prepare a CI sector governance with sourcing options for security operation for all relevant actors: from the responsible authorities in the country via a single point of contact in the health sector to hospital centres and the medical practice.

International Textbook of Reflective Practice in Nursing is an edited book with an in-depth discourse about reflective practice from a global perspective. The book addresses using reflective practice for evidence-based clinical practice, curriculum and education, and research. As a result, the content may be useful for practicing nurses, educators, and researchers. After reading the first chapter on the state of the art of reflective practice, you can read the other chapters on a stand-alone basis. Overall, reflective practice is presented as a core process in three areas: (1) knowledge development, (2) improving practice through supervision and leadership, and (3) enhancing teaching and learning. At the end of each chapter are historical and recent references that represent a global viewpoint.

This article seeks to compare the deliveries promised by the main Business Schools with those expected by the students, in order to improve the administrative processes in use by the Institutions. This is a systematic review of the literature, accompanied by exploratory empirical research, which describes the state of the art and the potential for innovation in relation to the management processes of business schools in relation to market expectation. Five attributes relevant to the success of business schools were identified, namely: provision of managerial learning; organizational flexibility; strategic performance measure; impact and outcome. this is an unprecedented study, at the national level, aimed at improving the management processes of the Business Schools of Rio de Janeiro. The results are limited to the case under study.

The Impact

Owing to the fast-responding nature and extreme success of social media, many companies resort to social media sites for monitoring their brands’ reputation and the opinions of general public. To help companies monitor their brands, in this work, we delve into the task of extracting representative aspects and posts from users’ free-text posts in social media. Previous efforts have treated it as a traditional information extraction task, and forgo the specific properties of social media, such as the possible noise in user generated posts and the varying impacts; In contrast, we extract aspects by maximizing their representativeness, which is a new notion defined by us that accounts for both the coverage of aspects and the impact of posts. We formalize it as a submodular optimization problem, and develop a FastPAS algorithm to jointly select representative posts and aspects. The FastPAS algorithm optimizes parameters in a greedy way, which is highly efficient and can reach a good solution with theoretical guarantees. We perform extensive experiments on two datasets, showing that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art aspect extraction and summarization methods in identifying representative aspects.

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
