E-enterprise : business models, architecture, and components / Faisal Hoque.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. [265]-271) and index.xx, 284 pages ;E-commerce is still a volatile industry, but each day a new enterprise pops up promising to be the next big thing. The real challenge is to understand what is involved in using the Internet as a means to building a successful business. Rather than coming up with marketing hooks and product innovations, e-Enterprise: Business Models, Architecture, and Components demystifies e-commerce and describes how a business should determine its own future by taking the next step and becoming an agile 'e-enterprise'. Faisal Hoque introduces the concept of high-level abstraction of business processes and application functionality that result in reusable business and technology components. He provides a methodology that is critical for all business leaders and technologists trying to build an enterprise on the internet
Patterns of boardroom discussions around the accountability process in a nonprofit organisation
No full textThis chapter sets out to identify patterns at play in boardroom discussions around the design and adoption of an accountability system in a nonprofit organisation. To this end, it contributes to the scarce literature showing the backstage of management accounting systems (Berry, 2005), investment policy determining (Kreander, Beattie & McPhail, 2009; Kreander, McPhail & Molyneaux, 2004) and financial planning strategizing (Parker, 2004) or budgeting (Irvine 2005). The paucity of publications is due to issues raised by confidentiality preventing attendance at those meetings (Irvine, 2003), Irvine & Gaffikin, 2006). However, often, the implementation of a new control technology occurs over a long period of time that might exceed the duration of a research project (Quattrone & Hopper, 2001, 2005). Recent trends consisting of having research funded by grants from private institutions or charities have tended to reduce the length of such undertakings to a few months or rarely more than a couple of years (Parker, 2013)

The Qualitative Research Tradition
No full textTo help those embarking on a qualitative accounting research study this chapter explains the methodological issues that must be considered. The chapter draws on literature on qualitative research alongside the experience of the authors and intends to be a practical guide to the qualitative methodology. To clarify concepts and avoid confusion, the terms methodology and methods are used in the chapter in the same way as defined by Tucker and Hoque (2017, p. 4); methodology refers to the theory of how research is undertaken, in particular, the theoretical and philosophical assumptions upon which a study is based and the implications of these for the method or methods adopted whereas methods relates to tools (questionnaires, interviews and direct and archival observation) and techniques (statistical and non-statistical analytic procedures) used to gather and analyse evidence. The Chapter is organized into six sections. In section two we discuss the main features of the qualitative research tradition with the aim of distinguishing it from quantitative research. Section three discusses the history of qualitative research in accounting investigation. The link between ontology and epistemology is explained in section four. This section describes how the methodology adopted by the researcher should be based on his/her fundamental view about reality and assumptions about how knowledge can be gained. Section five depicts some of the research methods available to accounting researchers to generate qualitative evidence while section six focuses on the field research process, from the time the researcher must choose and access the case, until the dissemination of the research outputs. Section seven concludes the chapter. <br/

Staining resilient algorithms for cancer image analysis in digital pathology
No full textAbstract
Medical imaging and image-based computer-assisted tools and techniques promise advances in cancer diagnosis, but there are still many unresolved challenges in technical aspects, data standardization, staining variability, and regulatory and ethical approval. These challenges in clinical medicine and pathology include the need to develop methods that are invariant and insensitive to staining variations. In modern clinical practice, digital pathology is indispensable, facilitating efficient image management and analysis through advanced technology that surpasses traditional optical microscopy methods. Technological advances and a growing emphasis on precision medicine have opened the way for developing methods for quantitative pathology assessments. These include methodologies such as whole slide imaging and artificial intelligence-driven solutions, which enable the exploration and extraction of information beyond the capabilities of human visual perception. This thesis focuses on finding solutions to three research questions by introducing robust algorithms that facilitate stained tissue sample image analysis. The main contributions can be classified into three parts: the first contribution is to solve staining challenges with methods that can quantify individual components of histochemical stains for optimal removal of staining variability. The second contribution is to find solutions for histopathology image registration challenges minimizing the misalignment errors and the risks of inter-laboratory variations. Finally, the third contribution is to optimize and aid staging cancer through nuclei detection and invasion depth estimation with minimal inter-observer and intra-observer variations. The performance evaluations of the proposed methods have been thoroughly performed on eight datasets, and these methods outperform state-of-the-art methods in terms of several performance evaluation metrics. This cancer image analysis research involves the development of advanced algorithms and tools that have far-reaching implications for healthcare and set the stage for more efficient cancer treatment. The findings in this thesis will serve as a basis for further research on the application and interpretability of AI-driven tools in support of digital pathology and computer-aided cancer diagnosis.

Lääketieteellinen kuvantaminen ja kuvapohjaiset tietokoneavusteiset työkalut ja tekniikat ovat lupaavia syövän diagnosoinnissa, mutta teknisissä näkökohdissa, datan standardoinnissa sekä sääntely- ja eettisissä hyväksyntäprosesseissa on edelleen monia ratkaisemattomia haasteita. Kliinisen lääketieteen ja patologian haasteisiin kuuluu invarianttien ja epäherkkien menetelmien kehittämisen tarve. Nykyaikaisessa kliinisessä käytännössä digitaalinen patologia on tärkeä, sillä se mahdollistaa tehokkaan kuvien hallinnan ja analysoinnin kehittyneen teknologian avulla, joka ylittää perinteiset optisen mikroskopian menetelmät. Teknologinen kehitys ja kasvava painotus täsmälääketieteeseen ovat mahdollistaneet kvantitatiivisten patologiaan liittyvien menetelmien kehittymistä. Näihin kuuluvat menetelmät, kuten digitaalipatologia ja tekoälyyn perustuvat ratkaisut, jotka mahdollistavat tiedon tutkimisen ja poimimisen tavoilla, joihin ihmisen visuaalinen havainnointikyky ei pysty. Tämä väitöskirja keskittyy löytämään ratkaisuja kolmeen tutkimuskysymykseen, joihin on kehitetty algoritmeja jotka helpottavat värjättyjen kudosnäytteiden kuvien analysointia. Väitöskirjan tärkeimmät panokset voidaan luokitella kolmeen osaan: ensimmäinen osio keskittyy menetelmiin, jotka pystyvät kvantifioimaan histokemiallisten värjäysten yksittäiset komponentit ja helpottamaan värjäysvaihteluiden optimaalista poistamista. Toisessa osiossa etsitään ratkaisuja histopatologian kuvanrekisteröinnin haasteisiin minimoimalla laboratorioiden välisiä vaihteluita ja kohdistusvirheitä. Lopuksi kolmas osio keskittyy optimoimaan syövän luokittelua solujen tumien havaitsemisen ja solujen invaasiosyvyyden mittaamisen avulla. Ehdotettujen menetelmien suorituskykyarvioinnit on suoritettu perusteellisesti kahdeksalla tietojoukolla, ja menetelmämme ylittävät alan huipputekniikat useiden suorituskykymittareiden osalta. Tämä syöpäkuvien analyysitutkimus sisältää kehittyneiden algoritmien ja työkalujen kehittämistä, joilla tulee olemaan laajakantoisia vaikutuksia terveydenhuoltoon ja jotka luovat pohjan tehokkaammalle syövän hoidolle. Väitöskirjassa tehdyt havainnot toimivat perustana jatkotutkimuksille, jotka koskevat tekoälypohjaisten työkalujen soveltamista ja tulkittavuutta digitaalisen patologian ja tietokoneavusteisen syövän diagnostiikan tukena.
