Academic literature on the topic 'Unibap'

Denna studie är en empirisk fallstudie av det svenska rymd- och automationsföretaget Unibap AB om hur man bygger förtroende för rymdindustrin. Rymdindustrin är särpräglad på det sättet att rymduppdrag har höga insatser på grund av höga kostnader och det faktum att tekniken inte kan modifieras efter lanseringen. Tillförlitlighet och förtroende är därför avgörande faktorer för att göra affärer inom rymdindustrin. Dessutom kan AI-baserade satellitlösningar ge stora fördelar, men 60% av motståndet från företag att köra AI är kopplat till bristande förtroende. Begreppet förtroende har diskuterats tidigare i den industriella marknadsföringslitteraturen och skiljer mellan sociala källor och erbjudanderelaterade förtroendekällor. Det verkar dock finnas ett empiriskt såväl som ett teoretiskt gap när det gäller att bygga upp förtroende för rymdindustrin. Eftersom ämnet är outforskat används en undersökande metodik när man intervjuar 12 aktörer inom rymd- och högteknologisk industri världen över. En viktig aspekt av erbjudande-relaterat förtroende verkar vara användbarhet, därför innehåller denna studie också en användbarhetsbedömning av Unibaps rymddatalösning, SpaceCloud®, som möjliggör inbyggda AI-applikationer. De viktigaste föregångarna till förtroende för rymdindustrin visade sig vara transparens, kompetens, teknikens tillförlitlighet och exakta leveranstider. Det verkar som om socialt och erbjudanderelaterat förtroende väsentligt påverkar partnerskap mellan företag och att erbjudanderelaterat förtroende är den viktigaste typen av förtroende för att vinna kontrakt med skattefinansierade myndigheter. Styrkor och förbättringar av användbarheten hos SpaceCloud® identifieras också,

This study is an empirical case study of the Swedish space- and automation company Unibap AB about how to build trust in the space industry. The space industry is distinctive in the way that space missions are at high stakes because of the high costs and the fact that the technology can not be modified after launch. Reliability and trust are therefore crucial factors of doing business in the space industry. Also, AI-based satellite solutions can bring huge benefits but 60% of the resistance from companies to running AI is linked to lack of trust. The concept of trust has been discussed before in the industrial marketing literature and differentiates between social sources and offer-related sources of trust. However, there appears to be an empirical as well as a theoretical gap when it comes to building trust in the space industry. Because the topic is unexplored, an exploratory methodology is used when interviewing 12 actors in the space- and high-tech industry worldwide. Since one important aspect of offer-related trust seems to be usability, this study also includes a usability evaluation of Unibap's space computer solution SpaceCloud which enables on-board AI applications. Key antecedents of trust in the space industry were found to be transparency, competence, reliability of technology, and exact delivery times. It appears that social- and offer-related trust significantly influence partnerships between companies and that offer-related trust is the most important type of trust to win contracts of tax-funded agencies. Strengths and improvements of the usability of SpaceCloud are also identified, and it is concluded that SpaceCloud has the potential to offer a new way of building satellite applications in the future.

<p>This study analyses the german writer and artist Unica Zürn´s novel, <i>The Man of Jasmine</i>,1970 (<i>Jasminmannen</i>). Zürn was mostly active in the surrealist avantgarde in Paris during the 1950ies - and 60ies. The male surrealist images of women was polarised in to the godlike, child and the erotic, convulsive object. The mythologizied woman was the muse of men´s creativity. But still there were many women artists who participated in the movement, so clearly there was something in surrealism that attracted women. One of them was Unica Zürn. This study concerns how the protagonist in <i>The Man of Jasmin</i> uses, but modifies the male surrealist images of women and makes a resistance against the construction of women. And by that, she creates a position of subjectivity. I have applied the theory of Luce Irigaray and her conception, "mimicry". She means that it is almost impossible for women to take a position as a subject in the male dominant order because it is so coherent. Women has always been defined as mans other in discourse. But one solution for women is to interpret and repeat how the femininity is defined in discourse and through exaggeration or parody show what has been hidden. To show that women are belonging to another place.</p>

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico<br>This research seeks to portray and analyze the process of internationalization and the international cooperation of higher education in Brazil, since 2010 mainly, when it is inaugurated the Federal University of Latin American Integration (UNILA) in the city Foz do IguaÃu-PR, with regional integration proposal, through the teaching of Latin American countries and the Caribbean, and also that year it was founded the University of International Integration of African Brazilian Lusophone (UNILAB) having an integrative proposal between the nations that make up the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLC), comprising Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, Sao Tome and Principe, East Timor, Equatorial Guinea and Brazil in the city of RedenÃÃo-CE. With these universities Brazil presents to the world, an internationalization project by higher education, through a cooperation project called South, with a promise to ensure the humanistic, scientific and technological knowledge and the partnership in South Atlantic area, which appears as an area of political interest to Brazil for some time. The main aim of this research is to understand the strategies for internationalization of higher education in a globalized world, and to know how Brazil has been acting in this process. In this study we used as methodological basis, a descriptive exploratory survey on the perception of internationalization of higher education, from international universities in Brazil, and geopolitical and economic interests in Latin America and Africa. We interviewed teachers, administrative staff, students and people from the society, to get a sense of social actors involved and we based on literary scholars authors on the subject. We seek to understand in this study, how educational policies may interfere with power relations and local arrangements, allowing greater regional role in a globalized world. We obtained as results that the challenges are many, internally and externally, in the institution and in the municipalities involved, but it is geographically feasible and relevant for educational policies in the South Atlantic zone.<br>Essa pesquisa procura apresentar e analisar o processo de internacionalizaÃÃo e a cooperaÃÃo internacional do ensino superior no Brasil a partir principalmente do ano de 2010, quando à inaugurada a Universidade Federal da IntegraÃÃo Latino Americana (UNILA) na cidade de Foz do IguaÃu-PR, com a proposta de integraÃÃo regional, atravÃs do ensino dos paÃses da AmÃrica Latina e Caribe e tambÃm nesse ano foi fundada a Universidade da IntegraÃÃo Internacional da Lusofonia Afro-Brasileira (UNILAB) possuindo uma proposta integradora, entre as naÃÃes que compÃem a Comunidade dos PaÃses de LÃngua Portuguesa (CPLP), formada por: Angola, Cabo Verde, GuinÃ-Bissau, MoÃambique, Portugal, SÃo Tomà e PrÃncipe, Timor-Leste, Guinà Equatorial e Brasil na cidade de RedenÃÃo-CE.

Introducció Les unitats de subaguts (US) van ser creades amb l’objectiu de procurar una atenció integrada i menys tecnològica a persones d’edat avançada, fràgils i/o pluripatològiques, en moments de malaltia aguda o descompensacions, evitant ingressos a hospitals d’aguts i ajudant a descongestionar les urgències. Una de les greus complicacions en l’evolució clínica dels pacients subaguts és el delírium, no només per l’alta incidència, sinó també pel fort impacte negatiu. Metodologia Estudi de cohort prospectiu d’observació de pacients consecutius ingressats a la US del Parc Sanitari Pere Virgili, entre 2012 i 2016. Es realitza una valoració geriàtrica integral (VGI) a tots els pacients, registrant resultats clínics i funcionals a l’alta hospitalària, i reingrés a 30 dies post-alta. La primera part del treball se centra en l’estudi del perfil i resultats dels pacients ingressats a la US; la segona part analitza l’impacte del delírium (prevalença, subtipus motors, mortalitat, pèrdua funcional i resultats associats) sobre aquests pacients. Al final de la segona part s’incorpora un sub-estudi d’una cohort multi-cèntrica internacional, realitzat fora de l’àmbit de subaguts, que té com a objectiu millorar el diagnòstic de delírium en pacients amb demència. Resultats Entre 2012 i 2016 van ingressar 1477 pacients (edat mitjana =85,6 anys, 62,6% dones). 89,6% van ingressar directament des dels serveis d’urgències hospitalàries. La VGI mostra una dependència funcional moderada (Barthel previ =57,8), alta comorbiditat (Charlson=2,7), alta prevalença de diabetis mellitus (33,1%), demència (41,6%) i polifarmàcia (8,5 fàrmacs/pacient). Després de 10 dies d’estada mitjana, el 75% de pacients retorna al domicili habitual, el 13,1% precisa ingrés a convalescència o llarga estada, el 3,9% és ingressat a l’hospital d’aguts i el 6,9% és èxitus. 16,4% reingressen durant els 30 dies post-alta. Tot i la major complexitat dels Pacients Crònics Complexos o amb Malaltia Crònica Avançada (PCC/MACA), els resultats durant l’ingrés són similars a pacients amb menor complexitat. En canvi, als 30 dies post-alta, presenten major mortalitat (15,4% vs 8%; p=0,010) i reingressos (18,7% vs 10,5%; p=0,014). De cara a optimitzar la selecció de pacients tributaris d’ingrés a la US, puntuacions altes en l’escala ISAR prediuen pitjors resultats a l’alta hospitalària (AUC=0.65). La prevalença de delírium va ser del 38,7%, augmentant fins al 65,1% entre pacients amb demència. Desenvolupar delírium va comportar major mortalitat, menor retorn al domicili habitual i pitjor resultat funcional, conseqüència també observada en el delírium superposat a demència (DSD). El delírium hiperactiu va ser el més freqüent (40,6%), seguit del mixt (31%) i hipoactiu (25,9%). El subtipus hipoactiu, més freqüent entre els més vulnerables, es va associar a pitjors resultats clínics i funcionals. En el sub-estudi realitzat fora de l’àmbit de subaguts, la valoració d’aspectes motors mitjançant l’escala Hierarchical Assessment of Balance and Mobility pot ajudar a millorar el diagnòstic del DSD. Conclusions Els pacients que ingressen a la US conformen una població molt envellida, amb important comorbiditat, alta prevalença de demència i dependència funcional moderada. Tot i la alta complexitat que suposa l’abordatge d’aquestes persones, a l’alta s’aconsegueix que retornin al seu domicili habitual més del 75%. Per altra banda, la alta prevalença de delírium en aquests pacients (39%) ha permès determinar un alt impacte negatiu del delírium no només a nivell de resultats assistencials (augment de mortalitat, menor retorn al domicili), sinó també en l’evolució funcional. Com a conclusió global, els resultats indiquen que les US són un recurs útil en l’abordatge d’aquests pacients i proporcionen una atenció sanitària adequada, que podria millorar amb la implementació de plans estratègics i proactius de prevenció del delírium.<br>Introduction The Subacute Care Units (SCU) have been created to provide integrated care to fragile and/or comorbid elderly people with exacerbated chronic diseases or minor acute events. This units are provided with low technology but with geriatric expertise. Direct admission from emergency departments (ED) has been promoted, to reduce unnecessary acute hospital admissions and overcrowding in ED. One of the serious complications in the clinical evolution of subacute patients is delirium, not only due to high incidence, but also due to the strong negative impact. Methods Prospective cohort study of consecutive patients admitted to the SCU of Parc Sanitari Pere Virgili (Barcelona) between 2012 and 2016. A comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) was performed in all patients and their clinical and functional results were collected at discharge and 30 days post-discharge, including 30 days readmission. First part of the work focuses on the profile and clinical results of patients admitted to the SCU; the second part analyzes the impact of delirium (prevalence, motor subtypes, mortality, functional loss and clinical results) on these patients. Additionally, a sub-study based on an international multicenter cohort carried out outside the SCU, which aims to improve the diagnosis of delirium in patients with dementia, is incorporated. Results Between 2012 and 2016, 1477 patients were admitted to the SCU (mean age 85.6 years, 62,6% women). 89.6% were directly transferred from the ED. The CGA showed a moderate functional dependence (previous Barthel Index=57.8), high comorbidity (Charlson=2.7), high prevalence of diabetes mellitus (33.1%), dementia (41.6%) and polypharmacy (8.5 drugs per patient). After an average hospital stay of 10 days, 75% of patients returned to their usual living situation, 13.1% required admission to long-term nursing care, 3.9% were admitted to the acute hospital and 6.9% died. 30-days readmission rate was 16.4%. Despite the greater complexity of patients identified as Complex Chronic Patient or with Advanced Chronic Disease (PCC/MACA), the clinical results at discharge were similar to patients with lower complexity. However, at 30 days post-discharge, these patients presented higher mortality (15,4% vs. 8%; p=0,010) and more readmissions (18.7% vs. 10.5%; p=0.014). In order to optimize the selection of patients admitted to the SCU, high scores on the ISAR scale predicted worse results at discharge (AUC = 0.65). Prevalence of delirium was 38.7%, increasing to 65.1% among patients with dementia. Development of delirium led to higher mortality and lower return to the usual living situation, along with worse functional results, a consequence also observed in patients developing delirium superimposed on dementia (DSD). Hyperactive delirium was most frequent (40.6%), followed by mixed (31%) and hypoactive (25.9%). The hypoactive subtype, more frequent in high vulnerable patients, was associated with worse clinical and functional results. In the multicenter sub-study performed outside the SCU, the assessment of motor aspects through the Hierarchical Assessment of Balance and Mobility (HABAM) could improve the diagnosis of DSD. Conclusions Patients admitted to the SCU represent a very old population, with important comorbidity, high prevalence of dementia and moderate functional dependence. Despite the high complexity in the management and care of these people, more than 75% return to their usual living situation at discharge. On the other hand, the high prevalence of delirium in these patients (39%) has allowed to determine a severe impact of the delirium not only in clinical results (increase in mortality, lower return home), but also its negative impact on the functional trajectory. As a global conclusion, our results show that the SCU might be a useful resource in addressing these patients and provide adequate health care, which could most likely improve with the implementation of strategic and proactive delirium prevention plans.
