Abstract Issue Given the importance, of cloud environments for mobile telemedicine information systems, focus is given in this paper on the challenges rising. We discuss the pros of the access to computing services and resources on demand without having own infrastructures, and the need of advanced interoperability data formats and application program interfaces (APIs) to facilitate the usage of the infrastructure. Description of the problem Cloud-Oriented Architecture (COA) describes the architecture, where applications act as services and serve other applications in the cloud environment. The aim is IT infrastructure and software applications to be optimized for their use in cloud computing environments. But what happens in the specific field of health as data interoperability for mobile telemedicine information systems? Results Two architectures were presented using a patient's compliance and engagement solution. A simple Representational State Transfer (REST) based architectural style was implemented in a three-layered architecture first and then compared to a cloud federation model. In the second the interaction goes through the federation via a middleware layer. Internal operations of cloud providers in the federation are still transparent to the cloud users. The middleware layer aims to coordinate the interaction with cloud users and providers in the federation. But, to avoid delays in those interactions interoperability of data formats and APIs. Lessons A Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) based application was developed. Mobile telemedicine information systems are a strong instrument in patients' compliance. Many systems have proved that the used resources combined can solve clinical and administrative problems in a secure environment. Key messages The use of cloud is wide spread in the health sector. The challenge is to combine this infrastructure into one federated platform and maximize the added value by using advanced interoperability data formats and APIs.

We would like to believe that early in the new millennium the practice of conceptual modeling will rest on a sounder theory base than it does at present. Although a great deal of valuable research in information systems and conceptual modeling has been done during the last twenty years or so, the results in many cases have not yet sufficiently influenced other research work or found their way into current practice. Reasons for this might include the inaccessibility of much of the work and the time pressures on practising analysts. We think that inadequate consolidation of reported results is also a factor. Without consolidation, it is difficult to obtain an overall picture in a short time, and it can be hard to see the value of individual contributions. While it is easy to see the need for consolidation, achieving it is harder. Reviews and surveys can help, but do not by themselves provide the necessary linking of individual research efforts into some larger framework. This chapter draws on theories from philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science, conceptual modeling and information systems in order to develop such a framework. Its goals include improving our understanding of conceptual modeling as a process and relating the different representations of concepts that can occur during conceptual modeling. To illustrate some of its benefits, the framework is applied to the case of object-role modeling in its intended use as a conceptual modeling method and notation at the ontological level of a universe of discourse. The framework is applicable to other modeling methods and notations that may view the universe of discourse at a different level (e.g., epistemological). It assists analysts assessing and working with the techniques that have emerged in the late twentieth century. It provides the sound theory base we need for the new millennium.

Managers, IT practitioners, and IS researchers are easily seduced by the latest information technology wave. Consequently, we tend not to question conventional assumptions about the implementation of IT systems in organizations. Instead of providing managers with directions, IS researchers can sometimes turn into prognosticators of the latest information technology fad. We call on researchers to delve below the surface of new IT trends to expose inconsistencies between technological promises and the reality of deploying information systems in global organizations. Many IS researchers are turning their attention to the area of global information management (Gallupe and Tan, 1999). This journal is a vehicle for publishing such research work. Interest in integrated global information systems is fueled both by the developments in information and communications technologies and the trends in business towards globalization of products and markets. Conventional wisdom suggests that businesses operating in global markets would benefit from implementing global information systems and achieve economies of scale and scope. This may be true in some cases, but does it hold for all cases? I suggest it may not. In certain cases deploying global IT systems could lead to diseconomies of scale.

In this paper a minimum necessary structure of the software and hardware complex for operative notification of an automotive accident in the real time mode has been proposed based on analysis of accidents on automobile transport with hazardous cargo, notification features of EMERCOM’s duty-dispatching services, and functional capabilities of domestic and foreign geo-information systems. A model for management support based on application of simulation software and hardware complex for monitoring a road transportation of hazardous cargos (based on sensors for automatic identification of accidents, and satellite technologies) has been proposed as well. Model implementation of the software and hardware complex has shown its operating capacity and high efficiency.

Although the number of multilingual qualitative research studies appears to be growing, investigations concerned with methodological issues arising from the use of several languages within a single research are still very scarce. Most of these seem to deal exclusively with issues related to the use of interpreters and translators in qualitative research (e.g., Temple & Edwards, 2002; Temple, Edwards & Alexander, 2006; Edwards, 1998; Temple & Young 2004). Methodological investigations going beyond pure translation dilemmas in qualitative research are, however, almost non-existent. The reason for this seems to be simple: the situation where the researcher possesses mother-tongue fluency in all or most of the languages used in a particular study – and, thus, is in a position to probe interpretational and representational problematics related to the multilingual character of this study with an adequate depth – is very rare. The author of this paper has used her recent qualitative research work in the area of Information Systems as the basis for a meta-study in which she investigates selected methodological issues resulting from the use of five different languages within the frame of a single research work. This paper specifically focuses on challenges encountered and observations made concerning three different issues, namely, how to choose the interview languages in a situation where the prospective interviewees have very diverse ethnic backgrounds, which languages to use for the data analysis in a situation where the data has been collected in several different languages, and how to determine the most appropriate stage of the research for transitioning from the languages used to collect and analyze the data to the language of the final research product. Although this meta-study is based on an Information Systems research work and is, thus, specifically addressing qualitative Information Systems researchers conducting multilingual research and encountering language-related issues in their work, this study might also be of interest to any researcher using qualitative research methodologies and employing more than one language to collect data, conduct data analysis, and craft the final research product.

Abstract A standard validation protocol adapted to the chromogenic assay of anti-Xa activity of low-molecular-weight heparins was used in a multicenter study to assess its suitability for comparing and evaluating analytical hemostasis systems. The protocol included: familiarization with the system (repeatability); assessment of limits of linearity, detection limits, and cross-contamination; and validation (reproducibility and accuracy of measurements of treated patients' plasmas). We calibrated the systems with the same range of lyophilized plasmas daily and evaluated repeatability and reproducibility by using a single batch of lyophilized plasmas at three anti-Xa activities. The two automated systems tested [SB 300 (Gilford) and ACL (IL)] and the two semiautomated systems [ST 888 (D. Stago) and Chromotimer (Behring)] gave similar mean values. Dispersion of results was lower with the automated systems than with the semiautomated ones, especially at low anti-Xa activities, a tendency that also was observed for reproducibility. Because each analytical system gave linear results for activities as great as 1000 IU/L, suitable sample dilution is advisable for higher anti-Xa activities. Accuracy was greater in the automated systems. We conclude that this protocol is feasible and is applicable to validation of other analytical hemostasis instruments, in particular the latest generation of fully automated instruments.
