    This article presents Dokk1 as an example of the new generation of modern, hybrid libraries. Dokk1 is co-created with users, partners and stakeholders. It has become an open, flexible library space that also uses technology as a way to invite the users to become part of the space. Using design thinking as a new way of working, co-creation also becomes a part of developing new services and spaces and a new way of working for the library staff.Dokk1 is a library for people, not for books. It represents the shift in library development from being media-oriented to being citizen-oriented. A citizen-oriented library requires co-creation on different levels, for example: 1) a new way of working and becoming a design driven library; 2) open spaces that allows citizens, partners and the library to do things together and 3) technology that supports the fact that this library belongs to the users.Questo articolo presenta Dokk1, rappresentante della nuova generazione di biblioteche ibride e moderne. Dokk1 è co-creato con gli utenti, i partner e i portatori di interesse. È divenuto uno spazio bibliotecario aperto e flessibile che utilizza anche la tecnologia come mezzo per invitare gli utenti a diventare parte dello spazio stesso. Utilizzando nuovi metodi di lavoro basati sul design thinking, anche la co-creazione diviene una fase dello sviluppo di nuovi servizi e spazi e un nuovo modo di lavorare per il personale bibliotecario.Dokk1 è una biblioteca per le persone, non per i libri. Essa rappresenta uno spostamento nello sviluppo bibliotecario dall’orientamento al mezzo a quello verso i cittadini. Una biblioteca orientata ai cittadini necessita di co-creazione a livelli differenti, ad esempio: 1) un nuovo modo di lavorare, ovvero diventare una biblioteca guidata dal design, 2) spazi aperti che permettano ai cittadini, ai partner e alla biblioteca di fare cose insieme e 3) tecnologia che supporti il fatto che la biblioteca appartiene ai suoi utilizzatori

    The article presents Dokk1, a library in Aarhus, as an example of a modern hybrid library of new generation. The Dokk1 library is being co-created by its users, partners and stakeholders. It exemplifies an open and flexible space equipped with attractive technology that spurs library users to be part of the place. Due to the employment of new work methods based on project thinking the co-creation constitutes a part of the process of new services development and interior design as well as a new style of working for librarians. Dokk1 is a library for people, not for books. It is an example of a change in the development process of libraries, a shift of importance point from library holdings to citizens. In a citizens-oriented library co-creation occurs in various areas such as: 1) new work style, i.e. conversion into a project-based library, 2) open space that enables cooperation of citizens, partners and the library, 3) technology used in a way that shows that the library belongs to its users. Artykuł przedstawia bibliotekę z Aarhus – Dokk1 jako przykład współczesnej biblioteki hybrydowej nowej generacji. Biblioteka Dokk1 jest współtworzona przez użytkowników, partnerów i zainteresowane jej istnie­niem strony. Jest to również przykład otwartej, elastycznej przestrzeni bibliotecznej, w której zastosowana tech­nologia zachęca użytkowników, aby stali się częścią tego miejsca. Dzięki wdrożeniu nowych metod pracy, opar­tych na myśleniu projektowym, współtworzenie jest również częścią procesu rozwoju nowych usług i aranżacji przestrzeni, a także nowym sposobem pracy dla pracowników biblioteki. Dokk1 jest biblioteką dla ludzi, nie dla książek. Stanowi przykład zmiany w procesie rozwoju bibliotek, przesunięcie punktu ważności z zasobów biblio­tecznych na obywateli. W bibliotece ukierunkowanej na obywateli współtworzenie odbywa się w różnych obsza­rach, takich jak: 1) nowy sposób pracy, tj. przekształcenie się w bibliotekę opartą na projektowaniu, 2) otwarta przestrzeń, która umożliwia obywatelom, partnerom i bibliotece wspólną działalność, 3) technologia, której zasto­sowanie podkreśla, że biblioteka należy do użytkowników

    A modeling study of functional magnetic resonance imaging to individualize target definition of seminal vesicles for external beam radiotherapy

    Background Pre-treatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can give patient-specific evaluation of 25 suspected pathologically-involved volumes in the seminal vesicles (SV) in prostate cancer patients. By 26 targeting this suspicious volume we hypothesize that radiotherapy is more efficient without introducing more 27 toxicity. In this study we evaluate the concept of using MRI-defined target volumes in terms of tumor 28 control probability (TCP) and rectal normal tissue complication probability (NTCP). Materials and methods Twenty-one high-risk prostate cancer patients were included. Pre-treatment CT 30 images, T2 weighted (T2w) MRI and two multi-parametric MRI were acquired. Overlap between a 31 suspicious volume in the SV observed on T2w images and a suspicious volume observed on either multi-32 parametric MRI was assumed to reflect a true malignant region (named “MRI positive”). In addition the 33 entire SV on the CT-scan was delineated. Three treatment plans of 2Gyx39 fractions were generated per 34 patient: one covering the MRI positive volume in SV and prostate with margin of 11 mm to the MRI positive 35 in the SV and two plans covering prostate and SV using 11mm and 7mm SV margin, respectively. All plans 36 prescribed the same PTV mean dose. Rectal NTCP grade≥2 was evaluated with the Lyman-Kutcher-Burman 37 model and TCP was estimated by a logistic model using the combined MRI positive volume in SV and 38 prostate as region-of-interest. Results 14/21 patients were classified as MRI positive, 6 of which had suspicious volumes in all three MRI 40 modalities. On average TCP for the plan covering prostate and the MRI positive volume was 3% higher (up 41 to 11%) than the two other plans which was statistically significant. The increased TCP was obtained without 42 increasing rectal NTCP grade≥2. Conclusion Using functional MRI for individualized target delineation in the seminal vesicles may improve 44 the treatment outcome in radiotherapy of prostate cancer without increasing the rectal toxicity.</p
