Aspects regarding innovation management in services industry
Innovation is reshaping the corporate culture of organizations in this present age of competency and service legacy. Innovation in services is getting recognition from the top executives due to its strategic importance and globalizes competition, which has escalated the demand of better change and adoption of best practices through change in processes. Innovation has been studied in a variety of contexts, including in relation to technology, commerce, social systems, economic development, and policy construction. There are, therefore, naturally a wide range of approaches to conceptualizing innovation in the scholarly literature. This article attempts to contribute to this latter discussion and progress towards further clarification of the specific characteristics of services innovation, while also identifying common features.service innovation, innovation management, knowledge management
The UAV control approach by using multi agent systems
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are becoming more and more accessible and their applications will grow with various utilityâs from military fields with specific missions to civil so that in-depth research, in which all this types of UAVâs will operate in the future airspace, has to be done via a new concept on systems centralized autonomous control system. Approach of a Multi-Agent System (MAS) used for the development of an autonomous UAV Control System is presented. In the proposed model some processes are simplified, however it is unique, and can be used as it to help UAVâs operate in the flight airspace. This system will serve many UAV users to help them work in the same defined airspace without concerns regarding safety. The proposed model is a new concept of a multi-agent system design, simulated in NetLogo software, which include the parameters necessary to function with the objective to maintaining separation

Successful Thrombectomy Improves Functional Outcome in Tandem Occlusions with a Large Ischemic Core
International audienceBackground: Emergent stenting in tandem occlusions and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) of acute ischemic stroke related to large vessel occlusion (LVO-AIS) with a large core are tested independently. We aim to assess the impact of reperfusion with MT in patients with LVO-AIS with a large core and a tandem occlusion and to compare the safety of reperfusion between large core with tandem and nontandem occlusions in current practice. Methods: We analyzed data of all consecutive patients included in the prospective Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke Registry in France between January 2015 and March 2023 who presented with a pretreatment ASPECTS (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score) of 0â5 and angiographically proven tandem occlusion. The primary end point was a favorable outcome defined by a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0â3 at 90 days. Results: Among 262 included patients with a tandem occlusion and ASPECTS 0â5, 203 patients (77.5%) had a successful reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction grade 2b-3). Reperfused patients had a favorable shift in the overall mRS score distribution (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.57 [1.22â2.03]; P < 0.001), higher rates of mRS score 0â3 (aOR, 7.03 [2.60â19.01]; P < 0.001) and mRS score 0â2 at 90 days (aOR, 3.85 [1.39â10.68]; P = 0.009) compared with nonreperfused. There was a trend between the occurrence of successful reperfusion and a decreased rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (aOR, 0.5 [0.22â1.13]; P = 0.096). Similar safety outcomes were observed after large core reperfusion in tandem and nontandem occlusions. Conclusions: Successful reperfusion was associated with a higher rate of favorable outcome in large core LVO-AIS with a tandem occlusion, with a safety profile similar to nontandem occlusion
