How to integrate a patient partner into a care team?

It is not rare anymore to find patients with knowledge and experience of a care pathway integrating a team of health professionals in order to improve the quality and relevance of their peers’ care pathways. The aim of this article is to propose practical methodological answers and structuring questions to institutions and any health actor interested in integrating a Patient Partner (PP) into a team of health professionals. The results of an action-research (AR) carried out within a Cancer Treatment Centre (CTC) provide both a methodological framework and answers to the questions raised by this experimentation: How did the team and the PP organize themselves to implement the mission of peer support? What evaluations of the project should be put in place? How does everyone find their place in the project? And finally, what are the operational procedures, limits, and levers for integrating the PP into the team? In the discussion section, we propose a model of experimentation based on AR, highlighting the main drivers and the interventions that feed them. Finally, we share a series of structuring questions arising from the co-construction work carried out by the people involved, which allowed us to build our action plan for the integration of a PP in the care team at the Rennes CTC, and which seems to us sufficiently generalizable to be tested and used by other teams and in other contexts.

Heritage Identification of Monuments using Deep Learning Techniques

India is a nation with a plethora of cultural landmarks, including notable architectural masterpieces, 37 of which are UNESCO World Heritage master pieces. We must protect cultural heritages because they bind successive generations together over time. Architectural Designers, researchers, and travellers, etc. visit numerous historical locations, where it is frequently challenging for them to recognise and learn more about the historical significance of the monument in which they are interested. Due to the size and dependability of the information, the work of archiving, recording, and sharing the knowledge of these cultural assets is difficult. Modern machine learning and deep learning algorithms, as well as high processing computational resources, offer practical answers. The classification ofMonument satellite images or photographs can be atomized by utilising the Convoluted Neural Network techniques. During our project implementation, monuments images dataset was created with the help of google earth images. We have applied various pre-processing techniques and from pre-processed images we extracted features using feature extraction techniques such as Local Binary Patterns(LBP), Mean Standard Deviation(MSD). A model was developed using deep learning algorithms such as the Convoluted neural network(CNN). The results of our project are discussed in this paper. Initially we upload the monument satellite image, then the system recognizes the monument first then predicts whether the monument is heritage or not and gives the accuracy value as well as displays the monument image along with information of the monument.

IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE A THREAT TO THE QUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL SERVICES?

The article is devoted to a very important modern problem – the growth of the quality of the higher educational services. The article highlights the situation in the market of the higher educational services with the participation of three players: the consumer of the educational services (students), the provider of the educational services (university teachers) and Artificial Intelligence. The definition of "Artificial Intelligence" is given in the article. The aim of the article is to find the answer to the research question: is Artificial Intelligence a threat to the quality of the higher educational services? The author used reliable and economically sound research methods. These were methods such as research of scientific sources; pedagogical observation and description of examples; modelling and forecasting, analysis and synthesis; designing a questionnaire for interviewing students. The author also used the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence in the process of designing the questionnaire to study students' opinions on the use of Artificial Intelligence for learning. A survey of students with verification of statistical hypotheses will give a practical answer to the research question. The author analyzed the scientific views of scientists on the use of Artificial Intelligence in education and, in particular, in higher education. Three examples of the use of Artificial Intelligence in the higher education services were analyzed for threats to the quality of the higher educational services. Four hypothetical variants of the interaction of three players in the market of higher educational services were analyzed: the consumer of educational services (students), the provider of educational services (university teachers) and Artificial Intelligence. This was the theoretical answer to the research question: in two variants out of four (50%), there is a threat to the quality of the higher educational services.

BIOFERTILIZERS: A SUSTAINABLE STRATEGY FOR ORGANIC FARMING THAT WOULD INCREASE CROP PRODUCTION AND SOIL HEALTH

Biofertilizers are now an effective way to increase crop yield and soil health in organic farming. Because of their numerous advantages, such as their capacity for nitrogen fixation, solubilizing phosphorus, and fostering soil microbial activity, the use of biofertilizers is becoming more and more common. This paper explores the benefits of using biofertilizers and their several kinds that are available, with their possible application in organic farming. Reduced reliance on synthetic fertilizers, enhanced soil fertility, and higher crop yields are all advantages of using biofertilizers in organic farming. Moreover, by using fewer chemical fertilizers, the usage of biofertilizers can contribute to lowering the environmental pollution. The author concludes that biofertilizers could be a practical and long-term answer for organic farmers who seek to improve soil health and crop productivity.

Secundum Naturam Vivere: Stoic Thoughts of Greco-Roman Antiquity on Nature and Their Relation to the Concepts of Sustainability, Frugality, and Environmental Protection in the Anthropocene

This paper wants to shed light on the way the philosophical school of Stoicsm in Greco-Roman antiquity has dealt with the relationship of men and nature by pointing out to some of the key texts in which these issues are mentioned. Although the modern concept of sustainability or environmental protection did not really exist in antiquity, the Stoa was convinced that individual decisions had a direct impact on this world. Following the concept of environmental humanities, the ancient texts and authors are collected as historical ideas of the multifaceted interactions between nature and men that can be fruitfully mirrored with the arguments of the current Anthropocene discourse and its focus on (post)industrialism. By doing so we might come across helpful approaches deeply rooted in our cultural heritage that we could possibly adopt and find practical answers for our age in terms of individual behaviour as well as management decisions to face the ecological and social challenges ahead.

Grassroots accountability: the practical and symbolic aspects of performance

PurposeThe paper provides a theoretical framework for interdisciplinary accounting scholars interested in performances of accountability in front of live audiences.Design/methodology/approachThis is a processual case study of “Falkirk in crisis” that covers the period from September 2021 to September 2022. The focus of this paper is two-fan-Q&A sessions held in October 2021 and June 2022. Both are naturally occurring discussions between two groups such as are found in previous research on routine events and accountability. This is a theoretically consequential case study.FindingsA key insight of the paper is to identify the practical and symbolic dimensions of accountability. The paper demonstrates the need to align these two dimensions when responding to questions: a practical question demands a practical answer and a symbolic question requires a symbolic answer. Second, the paper argues that most fields contain conflicting logics and highlights that a complete performance of accountability needs to cover the different conflicting logics within the field. In this case, this means paying full attention to both the communitarian and results logics. A third finding is that a performance of accountability cannot succeed if the audience rejects attempts to impose an unpalatable definition of the situation. If these three conditions are not met, the performance is bound to fail.Research limitations/implicationsAn important theoretical coontribution of the study is the application of Jeffery Alexander’s work on political performance to public performances of accountability.Practical implicationsThe phenomenon explored in the paper (what the authors term “grassroots accountability”) has broad applicability to any situation in organizational or civic life where the power apex of an organization is required to engage with a group of informed and committed stakeholders – the “community”. For those who find themselves in the position of the fans in this study, the observations set out in the empirical narrative can serve as a useful practical guide. Attempts to answer a practical complaint with a symbolic answer (or vice versa) should be challenged as evasive.Social implicationsThis paper studies an engagement of elite actors with ordinary (or grassroots) actors. The study shows important rules of engagement, including the importance of respecting the power of practical questions and the need to engage with these questions appropriately.Originality/valueThis paper offers a new vista for interdisciplinary accounting by synthesizing the accountability literature with the political performance literature. Specifically, the paper employs Jeffery Alexander’s work on practical and symbolic performance to study the microprocesses underpinning successful and unsuccessful performances of accountability.

START: Sustainable transport awareness recommendation tool

Sustainable mobility has become one of the most pressing issues in modern society. The need to raise awareness of climate change, combined with the overcrowding of metropolitan and urban areas, has produced a situation that requires an urgent solution. Some earlier approaches dealt primarily with transport-related issues, while some conceptual models attempted to increase the appeal of public transport by linking the services provided by public transport operators to a variety of city services. A practical and empirical answer, on the other hand, has not yet been given. This research addresses these issues by taking a holistic approach and presenting a personalized recommendation system based on users' everyday activities as well as their mobility profiles. The crossing of both sources of information allows for a more user-centric experience, ensuring that the offers presented are adapted to the tastes of customers. The potential of such a system is proven using data from Porto, Portugal. Two types of data sources were used to obtain more accurate results: data from the automated fare collection system of the Porto Metropolitan Area, Portugal, and data from city services taken from Google Places. The fundamental idea behind tackling this problem is to encourage people to use public transport by providing them with incentives such as discounts, promotions and service offers to encourage them to use cleaner and more efficient modes of transport.

Net-Zero transition in the steel sector: beyond the simple emphasis on hydrogen, did we miss anything?

There is an explosion of publications and of various announcements regarding the use of hydrogen in the steel sector as a way to arrive at Net-Zero steel production − particularly in Europe. Most of them describe process technologies on the one hand and commitment to implement them quickly in the steel sector in the form of roadmaps and agendas, on the other hand. The most popular process technology is H2 Direct Reduction (H2-DR) in a shaft furnace. Available technical literature, as abundant as it may be, is still fairly incomplete in making the pathway to Net-Zero explicit and credible. This paper tries to identify important issues which are not openly discussed nor analyzed in the literature, yet. Process-wise, open questions in technical papers are: (1) what are the best-fitted iron ores for H2-DR, (2) what downstream furnace, after H2-DR, can accommodate various raw materials, (3) how and how much carbon ought to be fed into the process, (4) what is the best design for the shaft, (5) should it be designed for both natural gas and H2 operations, or simply for H2, (6) how should the progress of R&D be organized from pilot plants up to full-scale FOAK plants and then to a broad dissemination of the technology, (7) what kind of refractories should be implemented in the various new reactors being imagined, etc. Cost issues are also widely open, as a function of green hydrogen, green electricity and carbon prices. How is hydrogen fed to the steel mill and what exactly is the connection to renewable electricity? Is the infrastructure that this calls for planned in sufficiently details? What is still missing is a full value chain picture and planning from mining to steel mills, including electricity and hydrogen grids. Two years after our last review paper on hydrogen, the overall picture has changed significantly. Countries beyond Europe, including China, have come up with roadmaps and plans to become net-zero by 2050, plus or minus 10 years. However, they do not rely as much on H2 alone, as Europe seems to be doing. What is most likely is that several process routes will develop in parallel, including, beyond H2-DR, Blast Furnace ironmaking and NG Direct Reduction with CCS, electrolysis of iron ore and scrap-based production in EAFs fed with green electricity, which would single-handedly support the largest part of production by the end of the century; as more and more scrap is to become available and be actually used. There is also a question for historians. The influence of Climate Change on Steel has been discussed continuously for more than 30 years. Why has the commitment to practical answers only solidified recently?
