THE PROTECTION OF DOCUMENT PRINTING IN HEALTHCARE

Članak opisuje nedostatke u poslovnim procesima sa naglaskom na zaštitu ispisa dokumenata u zdravstvu. Izmjenama poslovnih procesa u zdravstvu napravile bi se ogromne uštede u proračunu, smanjile bi se liste čekanja te povećala efikasnost cijelog sustava. Svi nedostatci su opisani tablično i kroz primjere, te su date i preporuke za izmjenu poslovnih procesa. Jedan od nedostataka je i ispis dokumenata poput otpusnog pisma ili povijesti bolesti kojima se da lako manipulirati. U članku se navodi moguće rješenje, odnosno smanjeno ili u potpunosti onemogućeno falsificiranje upotrebom tehnologije zaštite u infra red području. IRDSPB (Infra Red Design Security Print Box) donosi mogućnost zaštite dokumenata u samom njihovom nastajanju, uz minimalan trošak. Članak opisuje IRDSPB tehnologiju, koje su mogućnosti implementacije te prednosti u odnosu na postojeće rješenje bez zaštite.This article describes disadvantages of business processeses with the focus on protection of document printing in healthcare. Modifications of business processes in healthcare could make huge savings in the budget, decrease waiting lists and increase the efficiency of the entire system. All weaknesses are described in tables and through examples. Also, recommendations are made to modify business processes. One of the disadvantages is printing documents such as a discharge letter or medical history which can be easily manipulated. The article offers a possible solution, that is, a decreased or completely prevented falsification by using technology protection in infra-red area. IRDSPB (Infra Red Design Security Print Box) brings the possibility of protecting documents in the print time at minimal cost. This article describes IRDSPB technology, what are the possibilities of implementation and advantages over existing solutions without protection

Climate instability and tipping points in the Late Devonian: Detection of the Hangenberg Event in an open oceanic island arc in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt

Sedimentary petrology and trace element geochemistry indicate that the Late Devonian to Early Carboniferous Heishantou Formation near Boulongour Reservoir (NW Xinjiang, China) was deposited on a steep slope, mid-latitude accreting island arc complex in an open oceanic system. Bulk 87Sr/86Sr ratios show excursion patterns that are consistent with excursions at the Devonian-Carboniferous (D-C) boundary in epicontinental margin sediments. Sedimentation rates for the Boulongour Reservoir sediments show highly variable rates that range from 0.5 cm/ky to 10 cm/ky, consistent with other Late Devonian sections and modern arc environments. Multiple whole rock geochemical proxies for anoxia and the size and distribution of pyrite framboids suggest the presence of the Hangenberg Event in the sediments associated with the D-C boundary, despite the lack of visible black shale. The presence of anoxia in an open ocean, island arc environment cannot be explained by upwelling of anoxic bottom waters at this paleolatitude, but can be explained by the global infliction of oceanic shallow water eutrophication on to a climate system in distress

Bounded-Collusion IBE from Key Homomorphism

In this work, we show how to construct IBE schemes that are secure against a bounded number of collusions, starting with underlying PKE schemes which possess linear homomorphisms over their keys. In particular, this enables us to exhibit a new (bounded-collusion) IBE construction based on the quadratic residuosity assumption, without any need to assume the existence of random oracles. The new IBE’s public parameters are of size O(tλlogI) where I is the total number of identities which can be supported by the system, t is the number of collusions which the system is secure against, and λ is a security parameter. While the number of collusions is bounded, we note that an exponential number of total identities can be supported. More generally, we give a transformation that takes any PKE satisfying Linear Key Homomorphism, Identity Map Compatibility, and the Linear Hash Proof Property and translates it into an IBE secure against bounded collusions. We demonstrate that these properties are more general than our quadratic residuosity-based scheme by showing how a simple PKE based on the DDH assumption also satisfies these properties.National Science Foundation (U.S.) (NSF CCF-0729011)National Science Foundation (U.S.) (NSF CCF-1018064)United States.

Come back Marshall, all is forgiven? : Complexity, evolution, mathematics and Marshallian exceptionalism

Marshall was the great synthesiser of neoclassical economics. Yet with his qualified assumption of self-interest, his emphasis on variation in economic evolution and his cautious attitude to the use of mathematics, Marshall differs fundamentally from other leading neoclassical contemporaries. Metaphors inspire more specific analogies and ontological assumptions, and Marshall used the guiding metaphor of Spencerian evolution. But unfortunately, the further development of a Marshallian evolutionary approach was undermined in part by theoretical problems within Spencer's theory. Yet some things can be salvaged from the Marshallian evolutionary vision. They may even be placed in a more viable Darwinian framework.Peer reviewedFinal Accepted Versio

The Theory/Applications Balance in Management Pedagogy: Where Do We Stand?

Business schools are expected to be "professional" in the sense that their mission is primarily to prepare people to practice their skills in the business world. Various critics, however, claim that management professors overemphasize theory and research and neglect the practice and applications students need to transfer classroom theory to the world of practice. This study compared an earlier sample with a more recent sample of Academy of Management members concerning the relative emphasis they believed should be placed on theory and applications in management pedagogy and the techniques they used to bring applications into the classroom. Current respondents believed that more emphasis should be placed on applications than the earlier respondents. An unexpected finding, however, was that the more recent respondents reported a lower mean usage of pedagogical techniques that are appropriate for developing students' ability to apply course concepts than the previous group. Possible reasons for these incongruent findings are discussed as well as the implications for management pedagogy.Yeshttps://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/manuscript-submission-guideline

Onshore carboniferous basins : third review report

focussed on achieving a better understanding of the Bowland Shale in northern England. The broad aim is to understand the geological variability of the formation from a basin- through to microscale, and assess the impact of variability on hydrocarbon generation, storage and production (for example, the co-incidence or otherwise of factors including organic content and kerogen type; mineralogy; and engineering behaviour). This report is the third summary report describing activities of the consortium, covering the period October 2015 – June 2016. A series of 3 inter-related work packages are designed to improve understanding of the Bowland Shale of northern England. The original numbering of these is retained to allow continuity between previous progress reports. Specifically, these work packages address: 1. Work Package 1,2: Basin analysis of the Pennine Basin; Characterization of shale facies; 2. Work Package 3: Development of chemical stratigraphies through prospective parts of the stratigraphic column; 3. Work Package 4: Hydromechanical behaviour of shales. Two work packages outside the consortium are also considered, namely 4. Retrieval of new materials to test 5. Reprocessing of 3D seismic data to assess rock properties Descriptions of previous activities have been released, covering the period July 2014 to March 2015 (Hough et al., 2015a), and the period April 2015 to September 2015 (Hough et al., 2015b). The consortium currently has 4 sponsors who each contribute £25 000 per year; BGS contributes around £200 000 annually, which results in an annual budget of approximately £300 000. The consortium is planned to last 3 years initially, and started in July 2014 with a scheduled end date of June 2017
