Clinical Trial Activity

Collaboration is defined as the actions for individuals and teams to work together for a common goal. There are several bottlenecks to an efficient and effective collaborative model of clinical trial including: the lack of a centralized, consistent, globally accessible platform to manage and store essential study related documentation; inconsistent or incomplete work assignments; inefficient notification of key events requiring follow-on action; and incomplete, missing, expired, or redundant documentation and training activities and need to maintain multiple credential to access various system, Removing these barriers is an important part of establishing an environment that fosters collaboration among all constituencies involved in managing clinical trial keeping them connected, informed, and on task by providing access to everyone at any time, from anywhere.The case study below introduces need of an integrated clinical collaboration platform, addressing key functionality of such an platform and describes the architecture & design consideration to industrialize such a platform. The intended audience of this case study is the architects & designers of similar systems. The clinical trial activity for a drug in research is approximately 70% of the overall drug development cost. It is estimated that 4% of the cost of a trial is in 'rework' involving communication, regulatory issues, patient enrollment, document review and replacement of patients. The integrated clinical collaboration platform has potential to eliminate significant amount of cost of re-work, which is in order of $3.5M per trial.

Digitalization has transformed all aspects of life, from social interactions to the working environment and education, something that accelerated with the emergence of COVID-19. The same stands for education and training activities, where the use of digital tools has been gradually advancing and become merely online because of the virus. This brought forth the need to discuss further the applications, benefits, and challenges of digital tools within the framework of the education and training process, and the need to study examples of successful applications. This study aims to support both these requirements by presenting the case study of REFUGEEClassAssistance4Teachers project and its outcomes.

Tree Approach

Determining the number of suppliers chosen for cooperation in a supply chain is one of the most important problems in the supply chain management area. Regarding the fact that simultaneously decreasing the risk and cost is one of the most important objectives of every organization, besides the cost, the risk has also been introduced in the recent researches, as one of the most important criteria. In this paper, the decision tree approach is used for determining the optimal number of suppliers considering the supply risk and it has been tried to develop an applied method through expanding the cost criteria. The proposed model in this paper, therefore, contains any kind of cost ingredients such as cost of suppliers development, cost of suppliers management, cost of missing discount in volume due to increase in number of suppliers in supply base, and loss cost due to supply postponement from suppliers. This approach is implemented in Emersun Company.

Purpose—Risk is intrinsically linked to all economic activity, and can never be completely eliminated; however, in certain cases and conditions, it can be mitigated. From the managerial perspective, it is possible to distinguish between speculative risks and pure risks. This distinction is made in relation to the effects produced from particular events on the economic conditions of the company. Speculative risks can lead to profits or losses, as they are connected to both unfavorable and favorable events, whereas pure risks uniquely produce losses or negative effects. There have been several studies on this topic from various perspectives. Our paper is based on an empirical investigation that aims to verify whether there is a direct or indirect correlation between risk-management policies in the healthcare sector and education and training activities. Design/methodology/approach—The analysis is based on an inductive research method that uses the case study methodology in order to verify and measure the direct or indirect correlation between risk-management policies and education and training activities in the healthcare sector of Regione Lombardia. Findings—The paper makes a clear contribution to the knowledge related to risk-management policies in the healthcare sector. Based on the case study of Regione Lombardia, integrates the dimensions of organization and individuals with the cross-section of education and training in new risk-management systems.  Research limitations/implications—This paper has several limitations. First, it considers only a single case, in Regione Lombardia. The distinctive features of the case may have led to specific empirical evidence and, moreover, the empirical evidence cannot be generalized to other territorial contexts/destinations. Second, the data set is limited to five years and is not sufficient to measure the direct correlation between the two aspects under study. Originality/value—This is the first paper to have approached, using an inductive research method, the issue of risk management connected to the education/training dimension by analyzing the case of Regione Lombardia. The findings should stimulate new debate in the business economics literature.

This study aimed to describe the strategy of integrated character education in madrasah management. This research is a case study done in MTs Muhammadiyah 01 Purbalingga, Central Java, by using descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was done by interview, observation, and document review. The results showed that (1) strategy of character education through madrasah management has not been implemented to the fullest. In the preparation of planning activities not listed explicitly madrasah character values to be achieved, both in the work plan of the madrasah (RKM) annual and mid-term (four years). In practical terms, this madrasah has internalized the values of character through discipline and self habituation activities; (2) integrated character education strategy in the implementation of learning can be seen in subjects of science, Civics, sosial studies, Quran Hadit, and morals. Internalization of character values is applied to the planning, implementation of learning, through the process of evaluation of learning outcomes; and (3) the strategy of character education through training activities is conducted through extracurricular activities such as scouting, PMR (Youth Red Cross), Pencak Silat Tapak Suci, sports, training for girls, and so forth.

The clinical research faces numerous challenges, from patient enrollment to data privacy concerns and regulatory requirements to spiraling costs. Blockchain technology has the potential to overcome these challenges, thus making clinical trials transparent and enhancing public trust in a fair and open process with all stakeholders because of its distinct features such as data immutability and transparency. This paper proposes a permissioned blockchain platform to ensure clinical data transparency and provides secure clinical trial-related solutions. We explore the core functionalities of blockchain applied to clinical trials and illustrate its general principle concretely. These clinical trial operations are automated using the smart contract, which ensures traceability, prevents a posteriori reconstruction, and securely automates the clinical trial. A web-based user interface is also implemented to visualize the data from the blockchain and ease the interaction with the blockchain network. A proof of concept is implemented on Hyperledger Fabric in the case study of clinical management for multiple clinical trials to demonstrate the designed approach’s feasibility. Lastly, the experiment results demonstrate the efficiency and usability of the proposed platform.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana proses transfer pengetahuan yang ada di Perpustakaan Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif yang diperoleh dari hasil wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi. Pendekatan studi kasus yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat kejadian sebenarnya dari aktivitas pustakawan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa proses sosialisasi di Perpustakaan Kemenkumham terjadi melalui diskusi pustakawan dan pimpinan. Proses eksternalisasi dilakukan melalui kegiatan pustakawan yang dituangkan ke dalam bentuk baru. Proses kombinasi dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan, mentransfer atau menyebarkan, dan mengolah informasi maupun pengetahuan yang diperoleh dari tahap eksternalisasi ke dalam laporan tahunan. Proses internalisasi di Perpustakaan Kemenkumham belum optimal dilakukan dikarenakan pustakawan masih berfokus pada kegiatan pengolahan perpustakaan. Namun dalam hal ini, dokumen laporan tersebut dapat menjadi pengetahuan baru bagi pustakawan maupun organisasi. Hambatan yang ada di Perpustakaan Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia yaitu pada sumber daya manusia dan anggaran untuk kegiatan perpustakaan seperti workshop maupun pelatihan yang dapat menjadi media promosi perpustakaan. Transfer pengetahuan di Perpustakaan Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia dilakukan melalui sosialisasi, eksternalisasi, kombinasi, dan internalisasi.ABSTRACTThis paper aims to know how the knowledge transfer process runs in the Library of Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The method used in this paper is qualitative research were taken through interviews, observation and documentation studies. A case study approach is used on this paper by seeing reality from librarian activites. The results of this paper indicate that socialization in the Kemenkumham Library occurs through discussion of librarians and the leaders. Externalization is carried out through librarian activities which are poured into new forms. Combination is done by collecting, transferring or disseminating, and processing information and knowledge obtained from the externalization stage into the annual report. Internalization has not yet been optimized because librarians are still focusing on library processing activities. Moreover, the report documents can become new knowledges for librarians and organizations. The existing obstacles in knowledge transfer process in Kemenkumham Library are in human resources and the budget for library activities such as holding workshops and training activities that can be a media for library promotion. Knowledge Transfer  in the Library of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights are carried out through a process of socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization.
