The MUC2 Gene Product: Polymerisation and Post-Secretory Organisation-Current Models.

MUC2 mucin, the primary gel-forming component of intestinal mucus, is well researched and a model of polymerisation and post-secretory organisation has been published previously. Recently, several significant developments have been made which either introduce new ideas or challenge previous theories. New ideas include an overhaul of the MUC2 C-terminal globular structure which is proposed to harbour several previously unobserved domains, and include a site for an extra intermolecular disulphide bridge dimer between the cysteine 4379 of adjacent MUC2 C-termini. MUC2 polymers are also now thought to be secreted attached to the epithelial surface of goblet cells in the small intestine and removed following secretion via a metalloprotease meprin β-mediated cleavage of the von Willebrand D2 domain of the N-terminus. It remains unclear whether MUC2 forms intermolecular dimers, trimers, or both, at the N-termini during polymerisation, with several articles supporting either trimer or dimer formation. The presence of a firm inner mucus layer in the small intestine is similarly unclear. Considering this recent research, this review proposes an update to the previous model of MUC2 polymerisation and secretion, considers conflicting theories and data, and highlights the importance of this research to the understanding of MUC2 mucus layers in health and disease.

An alternative organizational model for a more democratic and equitable digital economy: A systematic literature review on platform cooperativism through the lens of stakeholder theory. Competitive advantages and challenges

AbstractPlatform cooperatives, namely, businesses that sell goods or services primarily through a website, mobile app, or protocol and commit to the principles of democratic governance and shared ownership, have lately been proposed as a more sustainable, equitable and, under certain conditions, even efficient alternative to the organizational model of commercial platforms. Accordingly, they have been presented as economic institutions capable of involving all their relevant stakeholders in an extended and inclusive governance structure. Nevertheless, this emerging literature is still characterized by the lack of a holistic and analytic framework connecting the dispersed studies on the topic through the lens of stakeholder theory and detailing strategic complementarities between these different stakeholders. Related to this point, while dealing with the competitive advantages and challenges of platform cooperatives, little reference has been made to the existing debate in governance theory about the advantages and challenges of cooperative firms as compared to capitalist ones. These research gaps motivated our literature review, which is the first comprehensive systematic review specifically focused on this topic. Given the still‐emerging character of the research object, our work also makes way for future updates as new contributions are gradually published.

How safety value is exchanged in Chinese modern megaprojects: A stakeholder value network perspective

To visualize and quantify these exchanges among primary stakeholders in megaprojects, this study introduces network stakeholder value network as the core methodology. Starting with a qualitative organizational safety behavior model encompassing 8 stakeholders and 61 value flows, it's built based on 3 organizational safety behavior categories. Moreover, questionnaire data from 356 experts quantifies the model, and the design structure matrix identifies 13845 safety value paths, including 4827 cycles. Analysis delves into critical cycles, stakeholders, flows, and organizational safety behavior types to refine safety strategies. The findings, based on Chinese megaprojects, suggest that contractors and governments must lead safety awareness efforts, with safety compliance paramount for all parties. The study's contributions are threefold: firstly, it broadens the scope to encompass organizational safety behavior; secondly, it introduces a novel approach to visualize and quantify safety value flows; and thirdly, it considers multiple types of value exchanges, underscores their significance in promoting safety value, and offers practical recommendations to strengthen construction safety performance.

Translating knowledge into policy: Organizational model and minimum requirements for the implementation of a regional pancreas unit network

Pancreatic and periampullary cancers pose significant challenges in oncological care due to their complexity and diagnostic difficulties. Global experiences underscore the crucial role of multidisciplinary collaboration and centralized care in improving patient outcomes in this context. Recognizing these challenges, Lombardy, Italy's most populous region, embarked on establishing pancreas units across its territory to enhance clinical outcomes and organizational efficiency. This initiative, driven by a multistakeholder approach involving the Lombardy Welfare Directorate, clinicians, and a patient association, emphasizes the centralization of complex care in high-volume hospitals, adopting a hub-and-spoke model and a multidisciplinary approach. This article outlines the process and criteria set forth for pancreas unit implementation, aiming to provide a structured framework for enhancing pancreatic cancer care. Central to this initiative is the establishment of structured criteria and minimal requirements, not only for surgery but also for other essential components of care, ensuring a comprehensive approach to pancreatic cancer management. The Lombardy model offers a structured framework for enhancing pancreatic cancer care, with potential applicability to other regions and countries seeking to improve their cancer care infrastructure

The axiological foundations of innovation in STEM education – A systematic review and ethical meta-analysis

IntroductionValues are crucial in decision-making, including processes related to science and technology, despite scientists often being unaware of them. Because a goal of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is to foster innovation, values have become fundamental in directing science and technology policies and shaping organizational cultures to leverage innovation. However, most research on STEM education has focused on improving performance or access to STEM education while overlooking its axiological configuration. This study analyzes the different value systems emerging in the current literature on STEM higher education and identifies the relevant stakeholders. MethodIn this systematic review and ethical meta-analysis, we aimed to assess the most prominent studies on STEM education and its core values. We followed a Ricoeur-inspired hermeneutical methodology using Atlas ti 8.4.4. Values are identified and classified using a systematic approach to integrate axiological landscapes. ResultsThe literature does not explicitly discuss the value of STEM education for innovation. However, social values appear to be at the intersection and the cornerstone of basic, economic, aesthetic, and epistemic values, as most social values also manifest these four systems. The most common manifestation of the value system is the capability approach to justice, followed by the beauty of recognition and success and, in third place, racism and social disparities. The analyzed literature emphasizes STEM education's social, political, and economic determinants. However, there is an epistemic gap in the indispensable value of innovating and assessing STEM education. ConclusionsWe propose an organizational culture model for STEM education that considers the goals, ends, values, and behaviors of students, teachers, educational institutions, and the government. This model can help fill the axiological gaps in STEM education.

Creating a Digital Culture for Digital Transformation: A Literature Review of Practical Steps

Abstract In the context of a world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, the digital transformation of organizations has become unavoidable. Digital culture has received increased attention as an essential factor in the success or failure of digital transformation. However, there is no generally accepted digital cultural model for organizations to build upon, nor a clear roadmap to follow on how to change the existing culture into a digital one to facilitate the process of digital transformation. This paper represents a review of the so-far proposed digital cultural models, respectively of the action steps suggested by literature for creating a digital culture. First, the paper combines the dimensions of three existing digital culture models into a more comprehensive model and secondly, it structures the action steps by the new digital culture dimensions. The action steps are further divided into high-level and practical ones. This is the first study comprising a sum of action steps towards a digital culture from published literature up to this point. The findings show firstly that digital cultural models overlap to a high degree. Secondly, the suggested action steps are similar, clear patterns becoming recognizable, however that a lot of them remain high-level, abstract or theoretical. This study represents a good start into creating a roadmap for organizations for creating a digital culture, however more research is required to be able to provide a detailed, practical and actionable set of steps for organizations on their digital transformation and digital culture change journey.

A new organizational model of primary healthcare in Liguria, Italy. Insights and implications.

After years of cost-containment policies, the Italian National Health Service (NHS) has now the chance to change and improve, especially thanks to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP). The plan serves as a catalyst for reform, allocating substantial funds to reinforce proximity networks, facilities, and telemedicine for territorial healthcare. Mission 6, specifically dedicated to health, focuses on integrating primary healthcare, hospital, and specialty care networks, underscoring the importance of a robust primary healthcare system. In alignment with NRRP objectives, the Ligurian model introduces innovative structures, such as Community Houses (CdCs), Community Hospitals (OdCs), and Territorial Operation Centres (COTs). These interconnected components form a dynamic network designed to enhance healthcare accessibility, prevent inappropriate hospital admissions, and facilitate efficient patient transitions. The model prioritizes multidisciplinary collaboration, community engagement, and the integration of socio-healthcare services. Despite substantial NRRP funding for infrastructure, challenges related to staffing and human resources persist. The social and epidemiological context highlights concern about the economic feasibility of the reform, potential workforce shortages, and the imperative for updated regulatory frameworks. The strategic reallocation of personnel from acute hospitals to new facilities is crucial, requiring meticulous workforce planning, role definitions, and trainingIn conclusion, the Ligurian model emerges as a proactive response to the structural vulnerabilities exposed by the pandemic, aligning with international trends in emphasizing primary care, prevention, and community-based services.

Pleiotropic Effects of Heparin and its Monitoring in the Clinical Practice.

Unfractionated heparin (UFH) was uncovered in 1916, has been used as an anticoagulant since 1935, and has been listed in the World Health Organization's Model List of Essential Medicines. Despite the availability of many other anticoagulants, the use of heparin (either low molecular weight heparin [LMWH] or UFH) is still substantial. Heparin has pleotropic effects including anticoagulant and several nonanticoagulant properties such as antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory activity, and anticomplement effects. Although UFH has been widely replaced by LMWH, UFH is still the preferred anticoagulant of choice for patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and patients with high-risk mechanical cardiac valves requiring temporary bridging with a parenteral anticoagulant. UFH is a highly negatively charged molecule and binds many positively charged molecules, hence has unpredictable pharmacokinetics, and variable anticoagulant effect on an individual patient basis. Therefore, anticoagulant effects of UFH may not be proportional to the dose of UFH given to any individual patient. In this review, we discuss the anticoagulant and nonanticoagulant activities of UFH, differences between UFH and LMWH, when to use UFH, different methods of monitoring the anticoagulant effects of UFH (including activated partial thromboplastin time, heparin anti-Xa activity level, and activated clotting time), while discussing pros and cons related to each method and comparison of clinical outcomes in patients treated with UFH monitored with different methods based on available evidence.

Climate Conscious Communities: Navigating Transformation through Simulation Games and Creative Engagement

In the context of the European Green Deal and rapid climate change, significant changes in people's habits are necessary, transforming their behavior from resource consumers to climate-responsible individuals. Addressing challenges such as biodiversity loss, engagement in the development of a circular economy, responsible energy consumption, and resource sharing requires changes in individuals' attitudes and behaviors. However, individuals often lack understanding of the climate system, its link to quality of life, and the impact of actions based on individual interests on societal transformation processes as a whole. Governments and international organizations implement various complex measures, but the dynamics of climate change far exceed society's ability to adapt.To address these challenges, the authors of this paper propose using simulation games as an effective learning method. These games provide individuals with an opportunity to gain a new, community-oriented decision-making experience without creating negative effects on real systems due to inappropriate decisions. Simulation games help to better understand cause-and-effect relationships, factors influencing individual attitudes and behaviors, evaluate the consequences of decisions made, and motivate practical involvement in mitigating climate change. In order to improve the attractiveness of using the simulation game, cultural and creative industry competences are integrated, which contribute to the improvement of content, visualization and interaction.The paper examines an organizational model for simulation games that assists municipalities and other stakeholders in developing customized simulation games to promote the development of climate-responsible communities. Considering the necessity to engage diverse social groups with varying levels of digital skills, an analog format has been chosen for the simulation game, without excluding the possibility of transforming it into a digital one.The proposed model includes setting objectives, integrating elements into a holistic simulation game, and piloting the framework using examples from municipal practice. To optimize the applicability of simulation games, they need to be adapted to the geographic area and community due to individual processes and structures.

Impact of contract farming on green technological efficiency of farmers: a comparative study of two contract organizational models

IntroductionEngaging in contract farming represents a crucial avenue for developing countries to integrate small farmers into modern agricultural practices. Existing research believes that contract farming offers a promising opportunity for fostering sustainable agricultural development. However, insufficient attention has been directed toward investigating the varying impacts of different organizational models within contract farming on farmers' transition to green production practices.MethodsThis study investigates the impact of contract farming on green technological efficiency of farmers using survey data from 719 wheat growers in Shandong Province, China. The propensity score matching method and multiple mediation effects models are employed for empirical analysis.ResultsThe organizational model plays a pivotal role in determining whether participation in contract farming can improve the green technological efficiency of farmers. Participation in an integrated model demonstrates a significant effect on improving green technological efficiency, whereas participation in a quasi-integrated model does not show a significant improvement. Integrated contract farming can improve green technological efficiency through expanding the degree of land consolidation and enhancing the level of productive service, whereas quasi-integrated contract farming improves green technological efficiency only by enhancing production intensification. As an economic incentive measure, the effect of contract purchase price on strengthening the enhancement of green technological efficiency in the quasi-integrated model is moderate only when the contract purchase price exceeds the local average selling price of wheat by more than 19.3%. Conversely, the moderate effect of farmers' dividend income in the integrated model remains consistent, with higher dividend incomes correlating with a stronger moderating effect.DiscussionThe impact of contract farming on green technology efficiency correlates significantly with the organizational model. Compared with the quasi-integrated contract farming model, the integrated model distinctly excels in advancing farmers' green technology efficiency, evidenced by its ability to consolidate fragmented land, provide productive services, and offer economic incentives. Therefore, to unlock the latent potential of contract farming in driving agricultural green transformation, a shift toward organizational models with higher levels of integration is essential.

Transmission Mechanism of Influencing Factors in the Promotion and Application of Whole-Process Engineering Consulting

As a project construction organization model, whole-process engineering consulting (WPEC) is currently being promoted in China’s engineering consulting industry. However, various factors create numerous obstacles that hinder this model’s effective promotion and application. One essential task is to deeply analyze the transmission mechanism of the influencing factors in the promotion and application of WPEC, and explore effective pathways for promoting and applying this model. This paper systematically organizes and summarizes 10 primary influencing factors and 38 secondary influencing factors for promoting WPEC. Using the complex network analysis method, a network of influencing factors for promoting WPEC, a network structure, and motif analyses are conducted. The results show that the influencing factors have a complex transmission mechanism, and complex network analysis can reveal the laws of their construction and their causes. This paper provides a systematic basis and theoretical support for the effective formulation of policies related to the promotion and application of WPEC.

From the Perspective of Resource Dependence, Why Do Micro-social Work Organizations Emerge from the Circle?

The diversity of social problems and people's demand for social public services are gradually showing a diversified trend, which raises people's expectations for social work. The traditional model of social work organizations can no longer adapt to the development of social work in the new social form. This paper discusses the development of social work organizations from the perspective of resource dependence. Through in-depth analysis of organizations of the same scale based on specific cases, it can be found that stable social resources are crucial to the survival of social work organizations, and resource diversification can promote the sustainable development of organizations. Therefore, social work organizations need to promote the diversification of social resources and reduce their one-way dependence on government departments. Increase autonomy.

#920 A knowledge management system enabling telemedicine for hemodialysis: an ongoing project

Abstract Background and Aims Knowledge management (KM) systems, when applied to telemedicine, leads to multiple benefits regarding the organizational model and the dissemination of knowledge among the stakeholders. There are some studies on the application of telemedicine in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and TeleDialysis (TD). TD allows the provision of personalized care through technology (dialysis services at home, in hospitals, in satellite centers). ASL Lecce represents the Regional Health System of the Puglia Region managing the health needs of the population of the province of Lecce. Currently, 800 patients are treated in dialysis facilities within the hospital, in satellite centres or at home (home haemodialysis, HHD). A hub&spoke model of dialysis care provided through a distributed network has been created. In this complex scenario, KM is particularly relevant since it allows the creation, modelling, sharing and systematic translation of health knowledge. We did not find any research on the application of Knowledge Management systems in TD. The aim of our study is to fill the gap regarding the application of a KM system to TD in the context of ASL Lecce. Method In September 2023, a TD platform applied to 24 patients already receiving Home Hemodialysis (HHD) was implemented in the Department of Nephrology at the V. Fazzi Hospital, ASL Lecce, to combine the patients’ home, satellite units and the central institution into a single common workplace. The integrated TD platform is intended as a set of infrastructural components, software and hardware functional to the continuous monitoring of dialysis treatments (Fig. 1). Results A KM system was created acquiring information from the dialytic network (schedules, clinical data, diagnoses, medical indications, observations of health personnel, accuracy of the performance, degree of satisfaction of the patient and health professionals). All the collected material was organized in a systemic way so that it could be used for the decision-making processes of the specialists and medical staff of the Nephrology Department, also valid for junior doctors and trainees. Fig. 2 shows how the KM system, applied in the near future also to the TD process, may facilitate the processes of capturing, storing and transforming knowledge into wisdom (Fig. 2). Objectives of the research: The implementation of the KM system in the TD service is focused on sharing knowledge as data-driven and people-centric: 1. Data-Driven: In the next months, the existing datasheets and clinical records will be integrated with a huge amount of data on the patient side, collected remotely via the TD platform. The ability of KM to influence performance is studied in Fig. 3. 2. People-Centered: Collaboration and communication are essential for discovering, exploring, and disseminating knowledge. Especially as part of TD, the hub&spoke organization helps to build a team that share common concerns, increase knowledge, and improve quality of care. Conclusion As for dialytic services, the TD platform integrates into the organizational model of hub&spoke. The KM system has a pivotal role in effectively update the process of care, both in the care practices and for the support of the decision-making processes. Going forward with the TD program, we aim to show that KM improves healthcare services and case management in terms of performance and value creation.

In addition to lowering carrying costs and preventing stockouts, this minimizes superfluous inventory. Implication of Research: An organization's operational model is altered by digital transformation. This process involves systems, workflow, processes, and culture. Every level of an organization is impacted by this transition, which unifies data from different departments to collaborate more successfully. Originality/Value: Enhanced Efficiency: Businesses are able to allocate resources more effectively thanks to automation and streamlined processes, which also lower operational costs and increase productivity.

HOW TO IMPLEMENT TELEMEDICINE IN A HEALTHCARE TRUST: THE "TEELEMEBII" STRATEGY

Abstract In this abstract we describe the “TEELEMEBII" strategy adopted by Healthcare Trust Bergamo Est to allow Telemedicine‘s development and to encourage a new healthcare managment model (the results obtained in terms of telemedicine processes activated are riported in a dedicated abstract). The “TEELEMEBII" strategy is composed of 7 steps (Figure 1): T: Top–down The Strategic Management analyses the feasibility of the project. If successful, a Manager with technical skills in the field of telemedicine and managerial competencies is appointed. In some cases, it is possible to set up a small group of professionals. E: Experiences The Manager, or the working group, performs a mapping of existing telemedicine experiences in the company. E: Experts While analysing experiences, the Manager identifies the professionals who already have expertise in the telemedicine field. This phase aims to identify a multidisciplinary Team composed of physicians, nurses, clerks, IT–technicians, management engineer etc., that is proposed to the Strategic Management. LE: LEgitimacy The Strategic Management analyses the proposal and the Constitution of the Telemedicine Team is legitimized through a formal act with the appointment of a Coordinator, the members and the adoption of a regulation. The organizational model of the Team is of a matrix type (Figure 2). ME: MEthod Once established, the Team defines a working method, a common language and specific tools for the organization of activities. B: Bottom–up The Team meets health professionals, explaining the aims of telemedicine and showing fields of application. The Team welcomes proposals from professionals themselves, following a bottom–up logic. For each new emerging project, a Working Group is created (see Figure 2). Adopting the logic of process analysis, the group maps the ordinary process at first, useful to effectively design the activities in telemedicine. It is composed of a member of the Telemedicine Team, with the role of Manager, and professionals who are directly involved in the project to be activated. II: Implementation of the HybrId model The model presented is Hybrid: the Strategic Direction legitimizes the activity of the Telemedicine Team and the Working Groups, while from below the requests made by the Operational Units are evaluated by the Team, which periodically reports them to the Strategic Direction for approval. The Telemedicine Team Coordinator is the interface between the two levels.
