KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT,COGNITIVE CARTOGRAPHY AND VALUE CREATION IN THE ORGANIZATION

From the value of knowledge established in a disciplinary field by more specialists are moving to value theoretical knowledge in terms of utility that a company can hold in terms of a competitive advantage. Knowledge Management has been, to its appearance, an important response to knowledge management and knowledge to the enterprise. He was still lacking in knowledge management and knowledge-level departments and organizational level. Department of Human Resources remains the most involved in the implementation of Knowledge Management approaches, but has difficulties in their implementation, as used do not give the expected results in terms of value creation. The study proposes an inventory of the Knowledge Management difficulties in the enterprise in the process of creation and proposes a useful solution, represented by cognitive mapping. This tool and its methodology promote the emergence of knowledge and enable networking of heterogeneous knowledge. Through the analysis of example an cognitive card is shown the potential but also its limit.knowledge management, knowledge assessment, cognitive cartography, human resources, potential

Resilient DC LV communities – UPB demonstrator

This work presents the architecture and operational features of a demonstrator developed at the premises of MicroDERLab Research Group at UPB that consists of two interconnected DC low voltage microgrids aiming to serve several research projects that focus on resilient DC LV communities. The architecture of the demonstrator uses a case-driven approach to validate and demonstrate the toolkits to be developed. Concretely, the demonstrator aims to facilitate the experimental assessments of several applications from monitoring and active power management of energy consumption in prosumers’ world, to aggregation of measurement data for modelling, planning, integration, operation and evaluation of distributed Energy Storage Systems. One of the major innovation of the proposed architecture consists in the extension of the functionality of the Unbundled Smart Meter (USM), the so called SMX side that processes all the information coming from the micro-controller of the energy router (ER). Simulated results of a distributed and adaptive energy management system to be tested on this demonstrator are also presented, while briefing a number of use-cases in line with several business models that led us to this design

Real-Time optimal scheduling for prosumers resilient to regulatory changes

The last decade marked an exponential increase in photovoltaic (PV) systems installed on the rooftop of domestic residences within Europe. This situation was basically favored by generous financial schemes such as Feed-in-Tariff and the market of green certificates. However, such governmental incentives drastically reduced, or they were already replaced with net-metering schemes which favor different scenarios: increase of self-consumption and decrease of grid-back injections. This unstable regulatory environment puts both new and old owners of PV systems under a regulatory financial risk. Recently, a regulatory resilient architecture, called UniRCon, was proposed, to overcome both financial and technical regulation uncertainties, where local battery energy storage system plays a key role. Besides the architecture we propose a real-time energy management system (EMS) that could be used for the daily operation of such systems. The real-time EMS is needed to prove the feasibility of this solution in short and long run and it could be also used as the main subroutine in the financial risk analysis. The EMS is based on a mixed-integer linear programming energy management tool that considers possible arbitrage benefits due to price difference in the energy purchased from the grid, while explicitly considering the efficiency of the power electronic interfaces (converters) according to the operation point. We prove our approach using a lab-scale experimental setup of a DC residential microgrid. The results are analyzed under realistic operation scenarios derived from one-year load and PV power output measurements

The results emphasize the necessity of interventions promoting healthy lifestyle among young people. В данном исследовании была дана оценка нездорового поведения (сидячий образ жизни, курение и потребление алкоголя) среди молодёжи в возрасте 18–25 лет и влияния уровня образования, пола и среды обитания (городская или сельская) на данное поведение. Результаты подчёркивают необходимость вмешательства в плане проведения здорового образа и стиля жизни

Nanodrugs for the treatment of ischemic stroke: A systematic review

Ischemic stroke, a significant neurovascular disorder, currently lacks effective restorative medication. However, recently developed nanomedicines bring renewed promise for alleviating ischemia’s effects and facilitating the healing of neurological and physical functions. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the efficacy of nanotherapies in animal models of stroke and their potential impact on future stroke therapies. We also assessed the scientific quality of current research focused on nanoparticle-based treatments for ischemic stroke in animal models. We summarized the effectiveness of nanotherapies in these models, considering multiple factors such as their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and angiogenetic properties, as well as their safety and biodistribution. We conclude that the application of nanomedicines may reduce infarct size and improve neurological function post-stroke without causing significant organ toxicity.University of Medicine and Pharmacy of Craiova ; European Social Fun

Similarity Regression predicts evolution of transcription factor sequence specificity

Transcription factor (TF) binding specificities (motifs) are essential to the analysis of noncoding DNA and gene regulation. Accurate prediction of the sequence specificities of TFs is critical, because the hundreds of sequenced eukaryotic genomes encompass hundreds of thousands of TFs, and assaying each is currently infeasible. There is ongoing controversy regarding the efficacy of motif prediction methods, as well as the degree of motif diversification among related species. Here, we describe Similarity Regression (SR), a significantly improved method for predicting motifs. We have updated and expanded the Cis-BP database using SR, and validate its predictive capacity with new data from diverse eukaryotic TFs. SR inherently quantifies TF motif evolution, and we show that previous claims of near-complete conservation of motifs between human and Drosophila are grossly inflated, with nearly half the motifs in each species absent from the other. We conclude that diversification in DNA binding motifs is pervasive, and present a new tool and updated resource to study TF diversity and gene regulation across eukaryotes

Psycho-Emotional Impact of Anomaly Ultrasound Scan in Romanian Pregnant Women

Objective: Second-trimester anomaly scan was introduced as a regulated practice in Romania in 2019, causing misperceptions and unrealistic expectations about this examination among pregnant women. This study aimed to assess whether second trimester anomaly scan is a reason “per se” for maternal anxiety. Design: A prospective type 1 cohort study was conducted in a tertiary prenatal diagnosis center with three locations in Bucharest, Romania, among pregnant women who underwent a second trimester anomaly scan between 1 December 2019 and 29 February 2020. Main outcome measure: Anxiety at the time of prenatal anomaly scan. Results: Out of the 138 participants, 32.6% believed that the anomaly scan could detect all fetus defects, 13.8% considered that the baby is bothered by the probe “light”, 8.7% believed that the scan could harm the fetus, 96.4% reported that it was a pleasant experience, and 95% felt that it strengthened their bond with the fetus. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) score revealed that women with high state anxiety were more anxious at pre-scan (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Ultrasound scan in the second trimester is correlated with a significant anxiety for women who are prone to this psychological trait. It is also a good opportunity to screen for highly anxious women who could benefit from prenatal psychological counseling to facilitate timely recognition and prevention of postpartum psychiatric disorders such as depression
