Purpose – This paper, a “Q&A interview” conducted by Joanne Pransky of Industrial Robot Journal, aims to impart the combined technological, business and personal experience of a prominent, robotic industry engineer-turned entrepreneur regarding the evolution, commercialization and challenges of bringing a technological invention to market. Design/methodology/approach – The interviewee is Dr Esben H. Ostergaard, inventor, co-founder and chief technology officer of Universal Robots. From building his first robot to solve a local industrial problem at the age of four, to building the world’s first collaborative robot company, Dr Ostergaard shares his lifelong ventures as a robot scientist, inventor and entrepreneur. Findings – Dr Ostergaard received degrees in computer science, physics and multimedia at Aarhus University in Denmark, and a PhD in robotics from the University of Southern Denmark. While at Aarhus, Dr Ostergaard pursued his hobby of robot football, and in 1998, his team STATIC became the world champion of the Federation of International Robot-soccer Association (FIRA). Dr Ostergaard held research positions at the University of Southern California (USC) Robotics Labs and at the Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Tsukuba/Tokyo. During the years 2001-2005 as a researcher and assistant professor in robotics and user interfaces at University of Southern Denmark, he created the foundation for a reinvention of the industrial robot. This led him to found Universal Robots in 2005 with two of his research colleagues. Originality/value – From a young child who played with LEGOs until he got a Commodore 64, Dr Ostergaard has always been interested in robotics. His unique multidisciplinary education and multicultural research experiences helped him to pioneer a new multi-axis, lightweight industrial robot and launch the successful company, Universal Robots, which has grown from its three co-founders to nearly 150 employees, with more than 4,000 collaborative robot applications installed in over 50 countries worldwide. Dr Ostergaard has over 30 patents and has received many awards, including the 2012 IEEE-IFR Invention and Entrepreneurship Award (IERA), the 2013 Japanese Institute Good Design Award, the 2013 Robotics Business Review Game Changer Award and the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2012 in Region Funen.

ABSTRACT:Dr. Dar Dowlatshahi, MD/PhD, is a stroke neurologist, an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa, and a neuroscientist at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute (OHRI). As the Scientific Director of the Ottawa Stroke Program, he is conducting cutting-edge research in the area of acute stroke, with a special interest in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). He was part of the recent ESCAPE trial, a national groundbreaking study that has redefined the scope of stroke therapy around the world. We had the incredible opportunity of speaking with Dr. Dowlatshahi about his exciting career as a clinician-scientist, as he educated us about the unique features of stroke, informed us of the recent advancements in his research, and provided advice for interested students and trainees who want to pursue a career in academic medicine.RÉSUMÉ: Dr. Dar Dowlatshahi, MD/PhD, est un neurologue spécialisé en AVC, professeur adjoint à l’Université d’Ottawa, et un neuroscientifique à l’Institut de recherche en santé d’Ottawa (IRSO). Comme directeur scientifique du Programme d’AVC à Ottawa, il mène des recherches de pointe dans le domaine de l’AVC aigu, avec un intérêt particulier dans l’hémorragie intracérébrale (HIC). Il a fait partie de l’essai récent « ESCAPE », une étude révolutionnaire nationale qui a redéfini le cadre de la thérapie de l’AVC autour du monde. Nous avons eu l’incroyable opportunité de parler avec le Dr. Dowlatshahi à propos de sa carrière passionnante comme clinicien-chercheur. Il nous informa ainsi sur les caractéristiques uniques de l’AVC, des récents progrès dans ses recherches, et nous a fourni des conseils pour les étudiants et stagiaires voulant poursuivre une carrière en médecine académique.

The concept of context is a cornerstone of a large part of social science research, particularly in organization and management studies, yet it has received little theoretical and methodological attention in lieu of its relevance. This book offers a definition of context as a theoretical construct, a discussion of the methodological implications of this, and a framework for how to reflect upon and operationalize the role of context in the different stages of a research process, from formulating research questions to analyzing and writing about results. The chapters presented here integrate lessons derived from various research experiences across the complex and dynamic field of health care. Contributors share their experiences with theorizing about and empirically studying significant organizational phenomena such as implementation of policy, organizational change, integration of care, patient involvement, human-technology interactions in practice, and the interplay between work environment and care outcomes in eldercare. These contributions exemplify how a nuanced approach to context might unfold in different fields, through different designs, methods, and analytical lenses. Relevant to researchers and practitioners, within both healthcare, organization and management studies, and the social sciences more broadly, this book leaves the reader with a practical framework from which to carry out contextual research and analysis and a gain deeper understanding of the significance of context in organizational life.

In this article, we use the zombies as a metaphor for reforms in the Polish academy and a description of how neoliberalism works. According to the interpretation of the production of zombies as a critique of late capitalism, we want to show, by using an autoethnographic method, how subjectivity, relationships with others and the world are changing in the neoliberal regime. How do reforms attempt to transform subjectivity, and raise a new academic? Our co-autoethnography challenges the University of the (Un)Dead. We write together to show the experience of an insider (Oskar) and a quasi-outsider (former PhD student, Dominika). We are trying to show how nationalist authoritarianism emerges, at the same time, as part of the neoliberal regime. Our story is a record from the time of the apocalypse – an attempt to provoke. Let us trust the stories.

At the annual meeting of the State Chairmen of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1952, Dr. Edward A. Wishropp made a brief report of the plan for giving comprehensive pediatric care in Windsor, Ontario. This had been studied by the Academy's Committee on Medical Care Plans. In order that the membership of the Academy might have more information about the work of this important committee, the editor of this column requested Dr. Wishropp and Dr. Edgar E. Martmer to prepare a communication on this subject. INSURANCE PLAN REPORT THERE are many programs throughout the United States, Canada and several foreign countries, providing some degree of medical services for infants and children. These range from governmentally financed programs, offering supposedly complete care, to those furnished by individual pediatricians having agreements between the pediatrist and the parents. Because no comprehensive review of these various plans has been made, the Executive Board of the American Academy of Pediatrics created a committee to study insurance plans and programs. The president, Dr. Warren Quillian, appointed a Committee on Medical Care Plans as a fact-finding group. Serving with Dr. Edward A. Wishropp, chairman, are:[See Table In Source PDF] Some basic considerations, presented by Dr. S. J. Axelrod, Assistant Professor of Public Health at the University of Michigan, can be outlined as follows and these must serve as a working nucleus in determining a worth while and workable plan.
