The current wave of digitalization has important implications for manufacturing companies. In this article, we suggest applying the theoretical lens of value co-creation as a comprehensive approach to explore the potential of digitalization trends. We use it to identify the potential of better integrating shop floor workers in the shaping of digital solutions and managerial actions. Insights fr...

A convergent work method within the 24/7 deadline environment has created a need for digitalization and process automation. In order to realize that work method, an increasing number of media uses newsroom computer systems. Those systems are useful for the entire process of news production. Basic characteristics are enabling news gathering, article and scenario writing, communication, video vie...

In this paper, we present what we have attempted towards connecting the Philippine islands through the digitalization of the Philippine languages and their respective applications, and what we intend to do in the future. We present the development of a multi-engine bi-directional English-Filipino Machine Translation (MT) system, and the building of various language resources and tools for this ...

Pharma industry is undergoing a major transformation called ‘The new pharma reality’ caused by the changes in global pharmaceutical business ecosystem and strive for the improved regulatory compliance and competitiveness. The current manufacturing and enterprise IT systems have not been satisfactorily able to deliver on the new requirements and this is leading pharma companies investigating the...

Serum digitoxin levels were measured in 18 infants (under two years) and in 23 children (aged 2-13 years) receiving maintenance therapy. Digitalization was carried out because of heart failure in 17 infants and 13 children and for control of dysrhythmia in one infant and 10 children. Mean maintenance dosage for infants was 0.0042 plus or minus 0.0008 (sd) mg/kg/day and for children was 0.0031 p...

So‰ware engineering is at the core of the digitalization of society. Ill-informed decisions can have major consequences, as made evident in the 2017 government crisis in Sweden, originating in a data breach caused by an outsourcing deal made by the Swedish Transport Agency. Many Government Agencies (GovAgs) in Sweden are rapidly undergoing a digital transition, thus it is important to overview ...

The scientific publication process has been so far only marginally affected by the possibilities of the Internet. This may be attributed to a lack of sound business models and pilots to demonstrate the ultimate benefits of free scientific publication. A team of universities, Internet publishers and applied research institutes proposes in the framework of the SciX-project (open, self-organizing ...

The present experiments describe effects of transient increases in heart rate on ventricular pacemakers during digitalization. Fifteen anesthetized, vagotomized dogs were studied during ouabain infusion or after recovery from ouabain-induced ventricular tachycardia. Vagal stimulation was used to assess baseline ventricular automaticity and 30-second periods of atrial pacing were utilized to eva...

The use of a laser range sensor in the 3D part digitalization process for inspection tasks allows very signi cant improvement in acquisition speed and in 3D measurement points density but does not equal the accuracy obtained with a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Inspection consists in verifying the accuracy of a part related to a given set of tolerances. It is thus necessary that the 3D me...

Databases on the distribution of species can be used to describe the geographic patterns of biodiversity. Nevertheless, they have limitations. We studied three of these limitations: (1) inadequacy of raw data to describe richness patterns due to sampling bias, (2) lack of survey effort assessment (and lack of exhaustiveness in compiling data about survey effort), and (3) lack of coverage of the...
