Toward a Curriculum for Data Literacy in Enterprises

To create business value from data, firms need a data literate workforce capable of reading, working, analyzing, and arguing with data. Prior studies on data literacy have mostly focused on educational settings and identified data-related skills. However, the suggested generic skill catalogs do not account for the highly situated nature of data practices. In this paper, we delve into five data literacy programs at multinational companies and examine their unique scope and characteristics. We leverage curriculum theory to analyze the different curriculum components and how they foster workplace data practices. As a contribution to data literacy research, we propose a theory-inspired and situated curriculum for data literacy in enterprises built upon five learning blocks, namely generic skills, disciplinary content, disciplinary skills, workplace awareness, and workplace experience. We also disclose each block's target audience, scope, and delivery mode and thereby inform practitioners on how to build their own curricula

HOW COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE ENABLE DATA DEMOCRATIZATION INSIDE THE ENTERPRISE

To exploit the full business potential of their data, enterprises seek to empower more employees to work with data – a phenomenon also known as data democratization. In this way, they establish communities to connect and foster the exchange of practice between experts and a growing network of so-called data citizens. In this paper, we suggest studying data democratization from the perspective of communities of practice (CoP). Based on insights from more than 20 companies, we sketch a multilevel landscape composed of the following CoP: CoP focused on developing skills around tools and methods; CoP focused on a specific data object or data domain; and CoP spreading general data awareness. Our findings advance IS literature on the emerging phenomenon of data democratization and highlight the importance of both generic and situated practices as enablers. For practitioners, we provide actionable insights on how CoP can be structured around key data roles

Le bénéfice des interventions infirmières dans l’accessibilité aux soins de santé : le cas du diabète

Travail dirigé présenté en vue de l'obtention du grade de Maîtrise ès sciences (M.Sc.) en sciences infirmières, option administration des services infirmiersObjectif : L’objectif de cet article est de documenter l’état des connaissances relatives à l’impact des programmes intégrés de prévention en soins de santé primaires pour les diabétiques, pris en charge par des infirmières, sur l’accessibilité aux soins de santé. Méthode : Une revue intégrative des écrits a été effectuée par le repérage d’articles dans les bases de données électroniques CINALH et PubMed. Un total de 19 articles ont été retenus et analysés. Résultats : Les programmes de prévention en soins de santé primaires, pris en charge par des infirmières ont un impact positif sur la majorité des dix dimensions de l’accessibilité aux soins de santé, respectivement cinq du coté de l’offre et de la demande : 1) l’approchabilité/accueil, 2) l’acceptation, 3) la disponibilité et les accommodements, 4) l’abordabilité, 5) la pertinence, 1) la perception des besoins, 2) trouver et comprendre l’information, 3) la capacité d’atteindre les services, 4) la capacité de payer et 5) la proactivité personnelle. Les infirmières, au sein des programmes de prévention en soins de santé primaires, possèdent le potentiel d’améliorer l’accessibilité, l’efficacité et la qualité des soins de santé pour les clientèles diabétiques. Conclusion : Les effectifs infirmiers en soins de santé primaires peuvent avoir des effets positifs sur l’accessibilité aux soins de santé pour les patients atteints de diabète, tel qu’identifier leurs besoins de santé, chercher et trouver les services de santé nécessaire à leur condition et utiliser les soins et services de manière plus adéquate. Davantage de recherches plus robustes et précises sont nécessaires pour solidifier ces connaissances.Objective The aim of this article is to document the impact of nurse-led primary care prevention programs for diabetic patients on accessibility to care. Method An integrative review of the literature was done by locating articles in the electronic databases CINALH and PubMed. A total of 19 articles were selected and analyzed. Results Nurse-led prevention programs in primary care for diabetic patients has overall positive impacts across the ten accessibility of care dimensions, which are split equally between offer and demand: 1) Approachability; 2) Acceptability; 3) Availability and accommodation; 4) Affordability; 5) Appropriateness, 1) Ability to perceive; 2) Ability to seek; 3) Ability to reach; 4) Ability to pay; and 5) Ability to engage. The nurses taking part in prevention programs in primary care have the potential to improve the accessibility, effectiveness and quality of health care for diabetic patients. Conclusion The front-line nursing workforce can have positive effects on the accessibility of health care for patients with diabetes, such as identifying their healthcare needs, search and find the necessary services for their health condition and use the care and services in a more appropriate way. More robust and accurate research is needed to solidify this knowledge

Toward Cross-company Value Generation from Data: Investigating the Role of Data Sharing Communities

Without a doubt, data is considered as a strategic asset for the digital economy. While companies seek for greater data-driven insights to unlock new business opportunities, we observe a shift from internal to cross-company data sharing (Wixom, Sebastian and Gregory, 2020). The European data strategy (2020), and the underlying EU’s data act (2022) bring upfront numerous benefits of data sharing, such as improved access to private and public data, generation of new products and services, or reduction of public services’ costs, amounting to 270 billion euros in additional GDP by 2028. In fact, estimates from Gartner (2021) show that private organizations engaging in sharing their data can expect to generate three times more measurable economic benefit compared to those who do not. Data sharing also contributes to the sustainable use and reuse of data particularly in the context of reduction of energy use and technological resources (European Commission, 2020; Akhgarnush, 2021

High order harmonic balance formulation of free and encapsulated microbubbles

The radial responses of free or encapsulated micro-bubbles excited by a plane wave of large wavelength are governed by NonLinear Ordinary Differential Equa- tions (NL-ODEs). The nonlinear frequency response details the harmonic con- tent of the time response and constitutes the expected outcome of a high order harmonic analysis. In this paper, a high order harmonic balance analysis of the ”RNNP” (bubble), Hoff and Marmottant (contrast agents) models are per- formed with the open-source Manla

Equine CTNNB1 and PECAM1 nucleotide structure and expression analyses in an experimental model of normal and pathological wound repair

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Wound healing in horses is fraught with complications. Specifically, wounds on horse limbs often develop exuberant granulation tissue which behaves clinically like a benign tumor and resembles the human keloid in that the evolving scar is trapped in the proliferative phase of repair, leading to fibrosis. Clues gained from the study of over-scarring in horses should eventually lead to new insights into how to prevent unwanted scar formation in humans. cDNA fragments corresponding to <it>CTNNB1 </it>(coding for β-catenin) and <it>PECAM1</it>, genes potentially contributing to the proliferative phase of repair, were previously identified in a mRNA expression study as being up-regulated in 7 day wound biopsies from horses. The aim of the present study was to clone full-length equine <it>CTNNB1 </it>and <it>PECAM1 </it>cDNAs and to study the spatio-temporal expression of mRNAs and corresponding proteins during repair of body and limb wounds in a horse model.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The temporal pattern of the two genes was similar; except for <it>CTNNB1 </it>in limb wounds, wounding caused up-regulation of mRNA which did not return to baseline by the end of the study. Relative over-expression of both <it>CTNNB1 </it>and <it>PECAM1 </it>mRNA was noted in body wounds compared to limb wounds. Immunostaining for both β-catenin and PECAM1 was principally observed in endothelial cells and fibroblasts and was especially pronounced in wounds having developed exuberant granulation tissue.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>This study is the first to characterize equine cDNA for <it>CTNNB1 </it>and <it>PECAM1 </it>and to document that these genes are expressed during wound repair in horses. It appears that β-catenin may be regulated in a post-transcriptional manner while PECAM1 might help thoracic wounds mount an efficient inflammatory response in contrast to what is observed in limb wounds. Furthermore, data from this study suggest that β-catenin and PECAM1 might interact to modulate endothelial cell and fibroblast proliferation during wound repair in the horse.</p

Identification of the metallurgical parameters explaining the corrosion susceptibility in a 2050 aluminium alloy

The corrosion behaviour of a 2050 aluminium alloy was studied in a NaCl solution. The structure ofprecipitation did not fully explain the susceptibility to intergranular (in the -T34 state) and intragran-ular corrosion for the aged state (the -T8 state). A relationship between the nature of interfaces, thegrains characteristics (size, internal misorientation and orientation according to the plane exposed tothe electrolyte) on one hand and the corrosion susceptibility of the alloy on the other hand was clearlyestablished. Galvanic coupling between grains with different internal misorientations helped to explainthe intergranular corrosion susceptibility of the -T34 state
