Methode des Geschäftsprozessorientierten Wissensmanagements - Die Methode GPO-WM
No full textS.253-274Peter Heisig zeigt in seinem Beitrag "Methode des Geschäftsprozessorientierten Wissensmanagements" die Notwendigkeit auf, Wissensmanagement eng mit der Gestaltung von Geschäftsprozessen zu verzahnen. Aufbauend auf einer methodischen Diskussion leitet der Autor Konsequenzen für ein konkretes Vorgehen hinsichtlich Analyse und Gestaltung von Geschäftsprozessen aus Sicht des Wissensmanagements ab. Dabei wird deutlich, wie sich die Potenziale von Business Process Reengineering erweitern lassen, wenn das mechanistische durch ein wissensbezogenes Ressourcenverständnis abgelöst wird

EXPLORING ENGINEERS’ KNOWLEDGE NEEDS IN ITALY AND JAPAN: DOES PRACTICE CONFIRM THEORY?
No full textModern epistemology has convincingly argued that culture influences the type of knowledge one
values. With knowledge a major source of competitive advantage, this distinction affects how
knowledge needs are identified and served. Engineering work, which is knowledge-intensive, is all
the more critical as it both uses and generates knowledge for product and process innovation. Using
data collected from Italian and Japanese engineers, this research first identifies the most pressing
information and knowledge needs for engineers, and second examines whether their needs are
consistent across countries and other broad demographics, in terms of knowledge to retrieve from
past work and knowledge to capture for future projects. Text-mining and regression analyses reveal
that engineers wish to retrieve narrow task and explicit knowledge domains related to experiential
and systemic knowledge assets from past work, and to capture broader experiential knowledge for
future projects, with some notable differences found between countries

Commonality among Fluoroquinolone-resistant sequence type ST131 extraintestinal Escherichia coli isolates from humans and companion animals in Australia
Get PDFEscherichia coli sequence type 131 (ST131), an emergent multidrug-resistant extraintestinal pathogen, has spread epidemically among humans and was recently isolated from companion animals. To assess for human-companion animal commonality among ST131 isolates, 214 fluoroquinolone-resistant extraintestinal E. coli isolates (205 from humans, 9 from companion animals) from diagnostic laboratories in Australia, provisionally identified as ST131 by PCR, selectively underwent PCR-based O typing and blaCTX-M-15 detection. A subset then underwent multilocus sequence typing (MLST), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) analysis, extended virulence genotyping, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and fluoroquinolone resistance genotyping. All isolates were O25b positive, except for two O16 isolates and one O157 isolate, which (along with six O25b-positive isolates) were confirmed by MLST to be ST131. Only 12% of isolates (25 human, 1 canine) exhibited blaCTX-M-15. PFGE analysis of 20 randomly selected human and all 9 companion animal isolates showed multiple instances of ≥94% profile similarity across host species; 12 isolates (6 human, 6 companion animal) represented pulsotype 968, the most prevalent ST131 pulsotype in North America (representing 23% of a large ST131 reference collection). Virulence gene and antimicrobial resistance profiles differed minimally, without host species specificity. The analyzed ST131 isolates also exhibited a conserved, host species-independent pattern of chromosomal fluoroquinolone resistance mutations. However, eight (89%) companion animal isolates, versus two (10%) human isolates, possessed the plasmid-borne qnrB gene (P < 0.001). This extensive across-species strain commonality, plus the similarities between Australian and non-Australian ST131 isolates, suggest that ST131 isolates are exchanged between humans and companion animals both within Australia and intercontinentally.Joanne L.

Prominence of an O75 clonal group (clonal complex 14) among non-st131 fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli causing extraintestinal infections in humans and dogs in Australia
Get PDFFluoroquinolone (FQ)-resistant extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (FQ(r) ExPEC) strains from phylogenetic group B2 are undergoing epidemic spread. Isolates belonging to phylogenetic group B2 are generally more virulent than other E. coli isolates; therefore, resistance to FQs among group B2 isolates is concerning. Although clonal expansion of sequence type 131 (ST131) is a major factor, the contribution of additional clonal groups has not been quantified. Group B2 FQ(r) ExPEC isolates from humans (n = 250) and dogs (n = 12) in Australia were screened for ST131, a recently recognized and rapidly emerging multidrug-resistant and virulent clonal group that is important in both human and companion animal medicine. Non-ST131 isolates underwent virulence genotyping, PCR-based O typing, partial multilocus sequence typing (MLST), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and FQ resistance mechanism analysis. Of 49 non-ST131 isolates (45 human, 4 canine), 49% (24 human, 2 canine) represented O-type O75 and exhibited conserved virulence genotypes (F10 papA allele, iha, fimH, sat, vat, fyuA, iutA, kpsMII, usp, ompT, malX, K1/K5 capsule) and MLST allele profiles corresponding with clonal complex CC14. Two clusters, each containing canine and human isolates, were identified by PFGE (differentiated by K1 and K5 capsules). Australian FQ(r) O75 isolates exhibited commonality with an historical FQ-susceptible O75 urosepsis isolate (also CC14). The isolation from humans and dogs of highly similar FQ(r) derivatives of the classic O75:K1/K5 (CC14) ExPEC lineage suggests recent acquisition of FQ resistance and potential cross-host-species transfer. This lineage should be targeted with ST131 in future epidemiological investigations of FQ(r) ExPEC.Joanne L. Platell, Darren J. Trott, James R. Johnson, Peter Heisig, Anke Heisig, Connie R.
