A new innovation paradigm: combining technological and social innovation

A new innovation paradigm is needed to answer the societal, economic and environmental challenges the world and companies are facing. The EU funded Horizon 2020 SPIRE Project “Coordinating Optimisation of Complex Industrial Processes” (COCOP) is combining technological and social innovation within a steel company pilot case (Sidenor). The project aims at reducing raw materials consumption (and energy and emissions reduction as well) by plant-wide optimisation of production processes based on a software solution and at the same time changing social practices. Key for COCOP is a methodology integrating technological innovation within a social innovation process of co-creation and co-development by involving (potential) users of the future software system and relevant stakeholders right from the beginning; thereby improving effectiveness and impact of the innovations and the implementation process. This involvement is instructed and measured by social key performance indicators (social KPIs) and operationalised in surveys (questionnaire and interviews) with future users, engineers and external experts (from different industry sectors not involved in the project). The article presents the results of the starting point of COCOP illustrating the future user perspective of the pilot steel company (Sidenor) contrasted by the view of external experts – seriously taking into account the interfaces between technology, human and organisation

Gestión organizacional y satisfacción laboral en los colaboradores de la corte de justicia de Lima, Perú

The present research work entitled: "Organizational management and job satisfaction in the collaborators of the Court of Justice of Lima-Peru"; had as general problem: To what extent is organizational management related to job satisfaction in the collaborators of the Court of Justice of Lima-Peru? and as general objective to determine the relationship between organizational management and job satisfaction in the collaborators of the Court of Justice of Lima-Peru. In the methodological aspect, the research work is of basic type and quantitative approach. The level is correlational and the design is non-experimental and cross-sectional. The population was delimited by the collaborators of the Superior Court of Justice of Lima, equivalent to 60 collaborators. The results showed that the organizational management variable does correlate with the job satisfaction variable, with a Spearman correlation coefficient of rho= 0.573** being moderately positive, while with the dimension compliance with the ROF and job satisfaction with a rho= 0.381** being low positive, while with the dimension compliance with the MOF and job satisfaction with a rho= 0.532** being moderately positive, while with the dimension compliance with the MOF and job satisfaction with a rho= 0.532** being moderately positive, while with the dimension compliance with the MOF and job satisfaction with a rho= 0, 532** being moderate positive, while with the dimension compliance with the TUPA and job satisfaction with a rho= 0.569** being moderate positive and finally with the dimension compliance with the MAPRO and job satisfaction being the value of rho= 0.529** is moderate positive according to Spearman correlation indexes.El presente trabajo de investigación titulado: “Gestión organizacional y satisfacción laboral en los colaboradores de la Corte de Justicia de Lima-Perú”; tuvo como problema general: ¿En qué medida la gestión organizacional se relaciona con la satisfacción laboral en los colaboradores de la Corte de Justicia de Lima-Perú?, y como objetivo general determinar la relación entre la gestión organizacional y la satisfacción laboral en los colaboradores de la Corte de Justicia de Lima-Perú.

International eDelphi Study to Reach Consensus on the Methotrexate Dosing Regimen in Patients With Psoriasis.

A clear dosing regimen for methotrexate in psoriasis is lacking, and this might lead to a suboptimal treatment. Because methotrexate is affordable and globally available, a uniform dosing regimen could potentially optimize the treatment of patients with psoriasis worldwide. To reach international consensus among psoriasis experts on a uniform dosing regimen for treatment with methotrexate in adult and pediatric patients with psoriasis and identify potential future research topics. Between September 2020 and March 2021, a survey study with a modified eDelphi procedure that was developed and distributed by the Amsterdam University Medical Center and completed by 180 participants worldwide (55 [30.6%] resided in non-Western countries) was conducted in 3 rounds. The proposals on which no consensus was reached were discussed in a conference meeting (June 2021). Participants voted on 21 proposals with a 9-point scale (1-3 disagree, 4-6 neither agree nor disagree, 7-9 agree) and were recruited through the Skin Inflammation and Psoriasis International Network and European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology in June 2020. Apart from being a dermatologist/dermatology resident, there were no specific criteria for participation in the survey. The participants worked mainly at a university hospital (97 [53.9%]) and were experienced in treating patients with psoriasis with methotrexate (163 [91.6%] had more than 10 years of experience). In a survey with eDelphi procedure, we tried to reach consensus on 21 proposals. Consensus was defined as less than 15% voting disagree (1-3). For the consensus meeting, consensus was defined as less than 30% voting disagree. Of 251 participants, 180 (71.7%) completed all 3 survey rounds, and 58 participants (23.1%) joined the conference meeting. Consensus was achieved on 11 proposals in round 1, 3 proposals in round 2, and 2 proposals in round 3. In the consensus meeting, consensus was achieved on 4 proposals. More research is needed, especially for the proposals on folic acid and the dosing of methotrexate for treating subpopulations such as children and vulnerable patients. In this eDelphi consensus study, consensus was reached on 20 of 21 proposals involving methotrexate dosing in patients with psoriasis. This consensus may potentially be used to harmonize the treatment with methotrexate in patients with psoriasis

International eDelphi Study to Reach Consensus on the Methotrexate Dosing Regimen in Patients With Psoriasis

Abstract Importance: A clear dosing regimen for methotrexate in psoriasis is lacking, and this might lead to a suboptimal treatment. Because methotrexate is affordable and globally available, a uniform dosing regimen could potentially optimize the treatment of patients with psoriasis worldwide.
