Letter of concern from Boris Drasin, President of the Jersey Homesteads Industrial Cooperative Association
No full textJersey Homesteads (later renamed the Borough of Roosevelt) was established in the 1930s as an agro-industrial cooperative community. It was established specifically for urban Jewish garment workers, many of whome had emigrated from Europe. In this letter, Boris Drasin, a community leader who was the President of the Jersey Homesteads Industrial Cooperative Association, expresses his concerns to their management corporation (Consumers Wholesale Clothiers, Inc.) about how financial losses will impact the lives of Roosevelt's residents, three-fourths of whom depended on the garment factory for their livelihoods. He makes suggestions as to how the situation might be improved

Long-Run Development and the New Cultural Economics
No full textThis paper reviews recent economics literature on culture, with an emphasis on its relation to the field of long-run growth and development. It examines the key issues debated in the new cultural economics: causal effects of culture on economic outcomes, the origins and social costs of culture, as well as cultural transmission, persistence, and change. Some of these topics are illustrated in application to the economic analysis of envy-related culture
Making Enterprise Information Systems Resilient Against Disruptive Events: A Conceptual View
No full textEnterprise Information Systems (EIS) are designed to deal with normal variability in their inputs and data. Empowered by CONTEXT-AWARENESS, some EIS even count on sensors and/or data analytics for capturing changes outside of the system. Nevertheless, context-awareness would often fail when EIS are affected by (large-scale) disruptive events, such as disasters, virus outbreaks, or military conflicts. Hence, in the current paper, we take a step forward, by considering context-awareness for disruptive events. We combine context-awareness with risk management techniques, such as FMECA and FTA, that are useful for defining and mitigating risk events. To avoid having to define the likelihood for such very-low-probability disruptive risks, we use CONSEQUENCE-BASED RISK MANAGEMENT rather than traditional risk management. We augment this approach with the context-awareness paradigm, delivering a contribution that is two-fold: (i) We propose context-awareness-related measures and consequence-based-risk-management-related measures, to address disruptive events; (ii) We reflect this in a method featuring the application of context-awareness and risk management for designing robust and resilient EIS.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Policy Analysi

Enforcing context-awareness and privacy-by-design in the specification of information systems
No full textNetworked physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity, allow for run-time acquisition of user data. This in turn can enable information systems which capture the “current” user state and act accordingly. The use of this data would result in context-aware applications that get fueled by user data (and environmental data) to adapt their behavior. Yet the use of data is often restricted by privacy regulations and norms; for example, the location of a person cannot be shared without given consent. In this paper we propose a design approach that allows for weaving context-awareness and privacy-by-design into the specification of information systems. This is to be done since the very early stages of the software development, while the enterprise needs are captured (and understood) and the software features are specified on that basis. In addition to taking into account context-awareness and privacy-sensitivity these two aspects will be balanced, especially if they are conflicting. The presented approach extends the “Software Derived from Business Components” (SDBC) approach. We partially demonstrate our proposed way of modeling, by means of a case example featuring land border security. Our proposed way of modeling would allow developers to smoothly reflect context and privacy features in the application design, supported by methodological guidelines that span over the enterprise modeling and software specification. Those features are captured as technology-independent societal demands and are in the end reflected in technology-specific (software) solutions. Traceability between the two is possible as well as re-use of modeling constructs.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Information and Communication Technolog
Izvori grešaka i njihova kontrola: Model upravljanja neželjenim događajima u kliničkoj transfuziologiji
No full textRecent reports have identified medical errors as a significant cause of morbidity
and mortality among patients in a number of different countries. A variety
approaches have been implemented to identify errors and their causes. To gain
the better understanding of these phenomena, learn more about the incidence
and type of medical errors, and the factor contributing to these errors, we first
need to acquire a broad range of raw data relating to patient safety and quality
of care and perform a comprehensive analysis of the data.
Transfusion medicine lacks a standard method for the systematic collection and
analysis of event reports. The most frequent use is Medical Event Reporting
System for Transfusion Medicine (MERS-TM) which has been developed
decade ago by Kaplan and al. MERS-TM utilizes descriptive coding and causal
classification schemes. The Eindhoven Classification Model (Medical Version)
was adopted for causal classification and analysis.
The MERS-TM system is used in our hospital until 2002. The present study
analyzed 36 adverse events reported between 2002. and 2010. and 908 near
miss events reported in 2007. Sample collection and identification of patients
were found to be the highest risk step in the work process. The pediatric,
especially neonatal intensive unit, was identified as high-risk clinical area. The
data showed multiple causes for events. We identified clusters of identical
transfusion incidents and established database with suggesting solutions for
each case.
This study confirms that near miss events occur far more frequently than
adverse events causing harm. High risk errors occur most frequently outside the
transfusion service, and the bedside of the patient is the main location. Our data
can be used to identify areas where resources need to be targeted in order to
prevent future harm to patients, improving the overall safety of transfusion
The value of chromosomal findings in treatment of acute myeloid leukemia
No full textU istraživanje je uključeno 536 bolesnika s novootkrivenom akutnom mijeloičnom leukemijom. Medijan dobi iznosio je 36 godine u rasponu od 16-60 godina. Akutna mijeloična leukemija M2 podtipa dijagnosticirana je u 31% slučajeva, dok je AML-M6 dijagnosticirana u 3% slučajeva. Akutna promijelocitna leukemija dijagnosticirana je u 76/536 (14%). Akutna mijeloična leukemija M4 podtipa dijagnosticirana je u 75/536 (14%), dok je AML-M5 dijagnosticirana u 62/536 (12%) bolesnika. Eritroleukemija (AML-M6) dijagnosticirana je u 18/536 (3%) bolesnika. Medijan leukocita pri dijagnozi iznosio je 19x109/L, raspona od 0.8-323x109/L. Za analizu kromosoma primjenjene su standardne metode pruganja. Prema nalazu citogenetske analize bolesnici su razdijeljeni u tri prognostičke skupine. Bolesnici s translokacijom t(8;21), inverzijom inv(16), translokacijom t(15;17) nalaze se u tzv. povoljnoj skupini. Bolesnici s urednim nalazom bez kromosomskih promjena u kariotipu odnosno bolesnici sa citogenetskim promjenama nepoznate prognoze čine posebnu skupinu intermedijarne prognoze. Bolesnici u kojih je nađena trisomija 8, ili promjene kromosoma 5, 7, promjene lokusa 11q23, 3q26 nalaze se u nepovoljnoj skupini. Citogenetske promjene nađene su u 363 (68%) bolesnika. Povoljan citogenetski nalaz nađen je u 118 (22%) bolesnika. Intermedijarni tip citogenetske promjene utvrđen je u 260 (49%) bolesnika, dok je u 158 (30%) bolesnika utvrđena nepovoljna citogentska promjena. Kompletna remisija postignuta je u 76% bolesnika dobre citogenetske prognoze, u 70% bolesnika intermedijarne citogenetske prognoze, te u samo 45% bolesnika nepovoljne citogenetske prognoze (p=0.001). Vjerojatnost petogodišnjeg preživljenja bez znakova bolesti u bolesnika s povoljnom, intermedijarnom i nepovoljnom citogenetskom promjenom iznosi 43%, 34% i 9% (p=0.05). Vjerojatnost relapsa bolesti iznosi 82% za bolesnike s nepovoljnom citogenetskom promjenom, 68% za bolesnike s intermedijarnom citogenetskom promjenom i 56% za bolesnike s povoljnim citogenetskim nalazom (p=0.05).In our investigation 536 patients with de novo acute leukemia were included into prospective study. Median age was 36 years, ranged 16-60. The majority of patients have AML-M2 (31%) or AML-M6 subtype (3%) according to French-American-British classification. 14% patients have AML-M3 subtype. AML-M4 was observed in 75/536 (14%) and AML-M5 in 62/536 (12%) patients. In 3% patients AML-M6 was documented. Median WBC at diagnosis was 19x109/l, ranged 0.-323x109/l. For chromosome analysis standard banding was done. According to the cytogenetic finding patients were classified in three prognostic groups. Patients with translocations t(8;21) or t(15;17), inversion inv(16) were classified as a good prognostic group, while patients with trisomy 8, patients with chromosome 3, 11q23 abnormalities and patients with changes of chromosome 5 and 7 were classified as a poor prognostic group. Other patients were classified as an intermediate prognostic group. Cytogenetic abnormalities were found in 363 (68%) patients. 22% patients were classified as a good prognostic group and 158 (30%) as a poor prognosis group. Complete remission was obtained in 76% of patients with good karyotype, in 70% patients with intermediate karyotype and only 45% in poor prognostic group (P=0.001). Five year probability of disease free survival for patients with good, intermediate and poor karyotype is 43%, 34% and 9% respectively (P=0.05). Probability of relapse for patients with poor karyotype is 82%, for intermediate karyotype 68% and for patients with good karyotype is 56% (P=0.05)
