Barriers to Surgical Innovation Research: A Canadian Study on Public Funding Trends.

BackgroundA decline in research funding has been cited as a potential cause for limited surgical innovation in the United States. We aim to understand if this is a North American phenomenon and explore whether a lack of public funding is a barrier to surgical innovation in Canada.MethodsPublicly available funding data from Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) were reviewed from 2008 to 2019 to determine the yearly funding distributed to surgical departments. Surgical innovation studies were identified and total yearly funding was calculated. All amounts were adjusted for inflation to reflect 2019 Canadian dollar value.ResultsFrom 2008 to 2019, surgical departments were granted 1.82–4.70% of total CIHR funding. In total, 902 grants were allocated to surgical departments and 126 (14.0%) met criteria for surgical innovation. Surgical innovation research was allocated a total annual amount ranging from 1.52 to 9.01 million CAD. There appears to be an upward trend in public funding for surgical innovation over this time period.DiscussionContrary to the landscape in the United States, there is no evidence of decreasing trends in public funding for surgical innovation in Canada. Considerations should be given to other potential barriers precluding surgeons from participating in innovation.ConclusionOnly a small percentage of research dollars to departments in Canada are spent on innovation research, despite an overall increasing trend in total public research funding over the past 10 years. We need to foster an environment in which surgical innovation is encouraged through medical curriculum changes, multidisciplinary collaboration opportunities, and dedicated faculty resources.

Optimal Design of Water Treatment Contact Tanks

In water treatment facilities, the last step of the treatment process includes disinfectant application to improve the water quality appropriate for a specific end-use purpose. At this step, contact tanks are used to mix water with the disinfectant. Mixing in contact tanks mainly relies on mechanical mixing processes to mix water with the disinfectant to activate the removal process. Thus, mixing efficiency of the contact tank design is critical for the reduction in the amount of disinfectant used to treat a fixed volume of water, to reduce the energy requirements to derive the treated volume of water through the system and to improve other design considerations of the contact tanks. There are numerous design alternatives reported in the literature that do achieve some of these purposes to a certain extent. Among the recent and more successful designs, one can cite the slot-baffle, the perforated-baffle, and the porous-baffle designs. Although these designs provide important improvements to the mixing process, the studies in which these concepts are reported did not provide an optimal design for the baffle geometry used in the design that would include other important considerations beyond the baffle geometry. In this paper, a new optimal design concept is introduced where important design considerations that are not considered in earlier studies are included in the analysis. The results show that new baffle geometries are possible for the optimal design of contact tanks when these innovative design criteria are included in the analysis.

Deformable MEMS with Fringing Field: Models, Uniqueness Conditions and Membrane Profile Recovering

A particular 1D II-order differential semi-linear elliptic model for electrostatic membrane MEMS devices, which is well-known in the literature, considers the amplitude of the electric field locally proportional to the membrane’s geometric curvature, which contains a term involving the fringing field according to Pelesko and Driscoll’s theory. Thus, in this paper, we will begin from this elliptical model, of which the uniqueness condition for the solution does not depend on the electromechanical properties of the membrane’s constituent material. In particular, after analyzing the model’s advantages and disadvantages, we present a new uniqueness condition for the solution depending on the properties listed above, which appears to be more important than the existence condition of the solution that is well-known in literature. Therefore, once the fringing field’s mode of action on the electrostatic force acting on the membrane is evaluated, suitable numerical techniques are used and compared to recover the membrane profile without ghost solutions and to propose an innovative criterion for selecting the membrane material, which depends on the electrical operative parameters and vice-versa. Finally, the possible industrial uses of the studied device are evaluated.

Wastewater reclamation design from sewerage system for gardening activity in Universitas Pertamina

Wastewater recycling is one of the criteria for continuous innovation at the campus level. Reclamation of water from the sewage system for gardening activities is one way to achieve this target at Universitas Pertamina. The aim of this study is to design and verify a water treatment unit from sewage to ready-to-use water for gardening activities. The units needed for the wastewater treatment system are a tank, Horizontal Roughing Filter (HRF), Rapid Sand Filtration (RSF), reservoir, and disinfection. The expected quality of effluent from processing is TDS 278 mg/L; TSS 1.3 mg/L; Turbidity 0.17 NTU; BOD5 0.63 mg/L; COD 6.12 mg/L; Total phosphate 0.95 mg/L; Nitrate 0.07 mg/L; detergent 0.7 mg/L; and total coliform MPN/100mL. The most important parameter in the sewerage water treatment process is the total coliform which must achieve an efficiency of 99%. This conventional method of water treatment is used because the availability of land is still sufficient, if it is not sufficient then further processing that is efficient, environmentally friendly, and has economic value is required.

Онтологическая кибернетика как интегратор организационных систем в средах гибридной реальности

Our purpose in this paper is to clarify ontological approaches to the development of cybernetics based on epistemological and methodological propositions grounded in the concepts of scientific classical, non-classical, post-non-classical rationality – as proposed by V.S. Stepin (2005). We need to increase our under­standing of the subject-oriented approach to the analysis of cybernetic interac­tions: “subject – object” in first-order cybernetics, “subject – subject” in second-order cybernetics and “subject – metasubject” in the cybernetics of self-develop­ing reflexive-active environments, third-order cybernetics. The ideas of three or­ders of cybernetics, first, second and third have the potential of integrating a strong ontological approach to the social sciences. For this integration we pro­pose Beer’s Viable System Model (VSM), Espejo’s Viplan Methodology and Lepskiy’s self-developing reflexive-active environments. This ontological cyber­netics corresponds to the development of the philosophical and methodological foundations of cybernetics and systems towards subject-oriented approaches, grounded on Ashby’s Law of Requisite Variety. We expect them to contribute to achieving adequate responses to the challenges of the 21st century at all struc­tural levels. They should be focused on adequate performance to achieve desir­able outcomes for sustainability and viability on the grounds of socio-humanitar­ian innovative criteria, using today’s digital technologies, converging with the increasingly powerful ontologies of artificial intelligence. We are offering on­tologies for organizing hybrid reality environments. Our aim through this paper is creating new ontologies adequate to the effective use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence to improve the control and communication mechanisms of social systems.

Innovative Evaluation Techniques for Hanok Sustainability Based on Integrative Comfort Indices

This study aims to present integrative evaluation techniques that can assess spatial comfort reflecting the unique value of a vernacular building type in Korea called Hanok. For this purpose, current evaluation indices and methods of official standards for normal building performance were analyzed through previous studies, since any certified tools for Hanok evaluation do not exist. This situation has made relevant markets to be deactivated, although Hanok has valuable meanings as the traditional architecture to be succeeded to the next generation in Korea. Accordingly, specific assessment indices were derived to evaluate the Hanok sustainability especially focused on spatial comfort by using a qualitative field surveys with combined quantitative references. Then, actual resident data were collected from a series of Hanok testbeds for specific time-points including summer and winter solstices on the lunar-year system. As a result, resident data could be employed to reveal the characteristics of comfort performance from those target specimens, and show the tendency of the Hanok comfort by suggested innovative criteria for the market as a clue for its commercial potentials. Accordingly, it was concluded that the proposed techniques and indices could be certified for the Hanok evaluation and applied to the field of associated industries to show its specific values and advantages.

Ultimately, the results of the algorithm determine four labels of middle and good productive employees who leave the organization and excellent and weak productive employees who stay in the organization. According to each cluster, policies are adopted for their retaining, productivity improvement, replacement.

Implementation of the Australasian Teletrial Model: Translating ideas into action using implementation science frameworks

Background: Despite Government investment, disparity in access to clinical trials continue between metropolitan and regional & rural sectors (RRR) in Australia and around the world. To improve trial access closer to home for RRR communities and rare cancer patients even in metro settings, the Australasian Teletrial Model (ATM) was developed by Clinical Oncology Society of Australia and implemented in four states. Aim of this paper is to describe the steps and processes involved in the development and implementation of ATM guided by implementation science frameworks. Method: Two implementation science frameworks namely iPARIHS and Strategic Implementation Framework were chosen to guide the project. Details of steps and processes were extracted from COSA final report. Results: ATM met the criteria for worthy innovation. For the development and implementation of the ATM, stakeholders were at national, statewide and clinical levels. A co-design with end-users and inclusion of key stakeholders in steering committees and advisory groups made the implementation smoother. Clinician levers including advocacy were useful to overcome system barriers. During the project, more patients, and clinicians at RRR participated in trials, more primary sites collaborated with RRR sites and more RRR sites gained trial capabilities. Conclusion: Pilot project achieved its objectives including improved access to patients locally, creation of linkages between metro and RRR sites and enhanced capabilities of and access to RRR sites. Implementation science frameworks were useful for identifying the necessary steps and processes at the outset. Ownership by governments and creation of streamlined regulatory systems would enable broader adoption.

Assessing suppliers considering social sustainability innovation factors during COVID-19 disaster.

Innovation can be considered one of the fundamental elements for ensuring sustainability. Companies have started to enhance their sustainability level through the application of innovative practices. The importance of employing innovative social sustainability practices within the supply chain seems to have escalated with the advent of COVID-19. However, studies focusing on the social aspect of sustainability innovation when selecting suppliers during the COVID-19 disaster are non-existent. Selecting these types of suppliers can significantly help companies to be more socially innovative and obtain sustainable development targets. This work introduces a social sustainability innovation framework for assessing suppliers during the COVID-19 pandemic. A group grey-best worst method (Group GBWM) is utilized to identify the criteria weights and improved grey relational analysis (IGRA) is utilized for ranking the suppliers. Findings show that “safety and health practices”, “remote working conditions”, and “localization” are the most important social sustainability innovation criteria, respectively, in choosing suppliers during COVID-19. A manufacturing firm is utilized as an example for verifying the efficiency of the proposed model and framework. This work helps industrial experts and researchers to better understand and focus on the social aspect of sustainable innovation, particularly when selecting suppliers during the critical COVID-19 pandemic situation.

Plain water jet cleaning of titanium alloy after abrasive water jet milling: Surface contamination and quality analysis in the context of maintenance

Abrasive water jet (AWJ) milling process, though being an effective alternative to conventional machining for difficult-to-machine materials, induces abrasive embedment which is an issue for repair application by structural bonding. In this context, the effectiveness of cleaning Ti6Al4V specimens by Plain Water Jet (PWJ) post AWJ milling is studied. For this, Ti6Al4V specimens are milled by AWJ process with varying parameters to create several levels of surface quality and contamination. Different characterization techniques have been used to perform a multi-scale analysis of the machined surfaces and surface quality has been quantified by an innovative criterion called “crater volume” (Cv). Then the specimens are subjected to PWJ cleaning operation (using a single set of parameters chosen after preliminary study). Finally, surface texture analysis and contamination quantification is performed and compared with the AWJ milled surfaces. The results revealed that PWJ cleaning reduced the surface contamination by 65% without any significant change in Cv, surface texture and topology. However, it was found that it was impossible to dislodge deeply embedded particles. The comparison of pre and post-cleaning contamination levels also revealed that PWJ cleaning process efficiency depends on the AWJ milling parameters (mainly pressure).

An improved patent similarity measurement based on entities and semantic relations

Abstract Patent similarity measurement, as one of the fundamental building blocks for patent analysis, is able to derive technical intelligence efficiently, but also can detect the risk of infringement and evaluate whether the invention meets the criteria of novelty and innovation. However, traditional approaches make implicitly several assumptions, such as bag of words in each component, semantic direction irrelevance and so on. In order to relax these assumptions, this study proposes an improved methodology on the basis of entities and semantic relations (functional and non-functional relations), which takes semantic direction of each sequence structure and the word order information of each component into consideration. Meanwhile, an algorithm for calculating the global importance of each sequence structure is put forward. Finally, to verify the effectiveness and performance of the improved semantic analysis, a case study is conducted on the thin film head subfield in the field of hard disk drive. Extensive experimental results show that our approach is significantly more accurate.

Ethically Justified, Practical Guidance for the Professionally Responsible Investigation of Maternal-Fetal Intervention for Fetal or Neonatal Benefit

Abstract This paper provides ethical guidance for the professionally responsible clinical investigation of maternal-fetal investigation for fetal or neonatal benefit and its transition into clinical practice. We present an ethical framework based on the ethical principles of beneficence, respect for autonomy, and justice, the professional virtue of integrity, and the ethical concept of the fetus as a patient. We identify the implications of this ethical framework for the qualifications that centers for maternal-fetal intervention should satisfy. These centers have the ethical obligation to provide prospective review and oversight of both innovation (an experiment undertaken to benefit an individual patient) and research (an experiment undertaken to create generalizable knowledge). We describe ethically justified criteria for innovation and early-phase research, for randomized clinical trials, and for the responsible transition into clinical practice. We also identify the elements of the informed consent process, including measures to prevent therapeutic misconception by pregnant patients during the informed consent process. The scientific, clinical, and ethical requirements of maternal-fetal investigation are demanding. However, the commitment to safety and quality requires that they be met. Fulfilling this commitment will result in well-documented professionally responsible investigation of maternal-fetal intervention for fetal and neonatal benefit.
