Biomedical Engineering Department Development Strategy
No full textStrategie rozvoje oddělení biomedicínského inženýrství se zabývá analýzou oddělení biomedicínského inženýrství ve Fakultní nemocnici Olomouc. Cílem práce je zjistit silné a slabé stránky oddělení a odhalit hrozby a nové příležitosti. V rámci rešerše se rozebírá strategické řízení a management s analýzou externího a interního prostředí organizace. Z dostupných metod je využita McKinseyho analýza, SLEPT analýza, Porterova analýza a SWOT analýza. Ze silných stránek analýzy vyplývají kladné vztahy s okolním prostředím či odborná specializovaná a technicky založená činnost. Výsledkem slabé stránky je zjištění, že je nezbytné na oddělení biomedicínského inženýrství systematicky zapracovat na depu zdravotnické techniky. Projektová část navrhuje optimalizaci depa zdravotnické techniky, konkrétně jeho reorganizaci a zjištění aktuálního stavu s cílem vytvořit projekt dle metodiky SMART. Vytvořený projekt optimalizace je časově realizovatelný, rizikově bezpečný a nákladově ekonomický a je proveditelný skrze interní prostředí.Biomedical Engineering Department Development Strategy deals with the analysis of the biomedical engineering department at the Olomouc University Hospital. The aim of the work is to find out the strengths and weaknesses of the department and to reveal threats and new opportunities. As part of the research, strategic management is analysed with an analysis of the external and internal environment of the organization. Among the available methods, McKinsey analysis, SLEPT analysis, Porter analysis and SWOT analysis are used. Positive relations with the surrounding environment or professional, specialized and technically based activities result from the strengths of the analysis. The result of the weakness is the finding that it is necessary to systematically work on the medical technology depot in the department of biomedical engineering. The project part proposes the optimization of the medical technology depot, specifically its reorganization and ascertainment of the current state with the aim of creating a project according to the SMART methodology. The created optimization project is time-realizable, risk-safe and cost-effective and can be implemented through the internal environment.Ústav managementu a marketing
Data from Study: Respiratory Motion Correction of PET using MR-Constrained PET-PET Registration
No full textThis dataset contains the data used to arrive at the conclusions in the research article Respiratory Motion Correction of PET using MR-Constrained PET-PET Registration, by Balfour et al [BioMedical Engineering OnLine 2015, 14:85]. This study was based upon motion-affected PET images simulated from real dynamic MR image volumes, simulated and reconstructed using the Software for Tomographic Image Reconstruction ("STIR", see http://stir.sourceforge.net/). This dataset includes data from MR scans of 4 healthy volunteers (male, aged 22-33). Three types of data are provided, which should be sufficient for repeating the findings of the study: Reconstructed PET image volumes, split into 6 respiratory bins ("gates") for each simulation The dynamic 3D MR volumes used to derive the respiratory motion of each volunteer Text files outline which dynamics have NOT been used for PET simulation - these are the ones used to make the motion model in the study These MR volumes were registered and combined with the head-foot position of the right hemidiaphragm to form a respiratory motion model, which was subsequently used to constrain PET to PET image registration, attempting to correct for the motion in the PET images. For more detailed information regarding the method, please refer to the article. The PET data is split into several sub-categories: Volunteer ID (4 possibilities, anonymised) Lesion position (9 possibilities - see article for locations) Lesion diameter, in millimetres (10 or 14 mm) Respiratory gate number, ranging from 1 (most inhaled) to 6 (most exhaled) Note that there are two types of each simulation: with motion, and without motion. These are included in the respective zip files for each volunteer ID
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
