REGISTRY OF MECHANICAL RECANALIZATIONS: AN ONLINE INFORMATION SYSTEM USED IN CEREBROVASCULAR STROKE CENTERS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Abstract There is no central information system supporting epidemiological surveillance in the case of the Czech Republic. For efficient management of epidemiological data, it is advisable to use a Geographic Information System (GIS), in which data can be managed based on their geographical component. The advantages of GIS are not only all tools for managing an ordinary database but also functions typical for geographic data. Technical University of Liberec (Czech Republic) with the support of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic guarantees the design and building of an information system with GIS features designed for the solution of epidemics within the chosen region of the Czech Republic (Regional Hygiene Station of the Liberec Region). The concept of the information system is based on the requirement to use Open Source tools without the need for future license fees. A substantial part of the system is programmed (R language). Data input will be provided by forms and questionnaires (pre-prepared, editable). The database will be based on demographic data along with multiple time and geographical data (useful for the construction of epidemiological curves and data representation in maps). Data input is possible via any platform (desktop, smartphones, mobile GIS for fieldwork). The output console is designed to work with data organized in maps. After the necessary anonymization and aggregation of data, some of the data is designed to be made available to the general public. Emphasis is placed on the communication role of the information system in providing information from and to the public. The research team is multidisciplinary (epidemiologists, geographers, programmers, sociologists). The development of the information system has been started in 2019 on the example of alimentary diseases. A part of it has been used since March 2020 for monitoring COVID-19 within the Liberec Region. Full completion and commissioning are set for 2021. Key messages Geographic Information System is an effective database, analytical and communication tool for epidemilogy. The information system must enable communication with experts and the general public.

The Czech Republic, as a member of international organizations (NATO, EU, UNO), with respect to current global security environment, employs the units of the army both at its own state territory and outside the Czech Republic in multinational forces operations. The article focuses on preparation of meteorological reports of future Automated Command, Control, and Information system (C2I) in conditions of the Army of the Czech Republic. The issue of automated command, control, and information systems is of high importance in the solving of asymmetrical operations tasks today and in the upcoming future. Define the basic resources for creation of meteorological reports of NATO standards in Network Enabled Capabilities (NEC) conditions. The authors define group of meteorological report for designing a new and by the Army of the Czech Republic required sophisticated Automated Fire Support Control System of Artillery meeting NATO standards in Network Enabled Capabilities (NEC) conditions. The article represents section of a huge defensive research project of Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic and the Army of the Czech Republic solved by leading scientists of the University of Defence in Brno.

BACKGROUND The knowledge of cancer burden in the population, its time trends and the possibility of international comparison is an important starting point for cancer programmes. A reliable interactive tool describing cancer epidemiology in children and adolescents has been non-existent in the Czech Republic until recently. OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to develop a new web portal entitled the Czech Childhood Cancer Information System (CCCIS), which would provide information on childhood cancer epidemiology in the Czech Republic. METHODS Data on childhood cancers have been obtained from the Czech National Cancer Registry. These data were validated using the clinical database of childhood cancer patients and subsequently combined with data from the National Register of Hospitalised Patients and with data from death certificates. These validated data were then used to determine incidence and survival rates of childhood cancer patients aged 0–19 years who were diagnosed in the period 1994–2016. Data from death certificates were used to monitor long-term mortality trends. The technical solution is based on the robust PHP development Symfony framework, with the PostgreSQL system used to accommodate the data basis. RESULTS The web portal is available for anyone at https://ccc-is.uzis.cz/index-en.php, providing basic information for experts (i.e. analyses and publications) on individual diagnostic groups of childhood cancers. It involves an interactive tool for analytical reporting, which provides information on the following basic topics in the form of graphs or tables: incidence, mortality and overall survival. Feedback was obtained and the accuracy of outputs published on the CCCIS portal was verified using the following methods: the validation of theoretical background and the user testing. CONCLUSIONS The software is capable of processing data from multiple sources, is freely available to all users and makes it possible to carry out automated analyses even for users without mathematical background: a simple selection of a topic to be analysed is required from the user.

Abstract Contemporary innovation process is increasingly distributed among a large number of networked actors with complementary capabilities. Dense links and efficient communication between firms and knowledge institutions create favourable conditions for commercial exploitation of research and development, and growth of innovation capacities. Based on extensive data from The Information System of Research, Experimental Development and Innovation of the Czech Republic, this paper aims at further understanding of knowledge linkages that have been created in joint projects with public support. It describes characteristics of the collaborative projects, the participating actors, and combines both perspectives into network analysis. The employed data sources and methods, despite several constraints, illustrate an example of a way how to better understand the knowledge cooperation in the Czech Republic and bring potentially beneficial implication into policy formulation.
