—Laboratory work is one of the most important activities in technical degrees. In these classes, students learn while carry in gout tasks similar to those they could encounter in a professional environment. These activities help to streng then the theoretical principles while allowing the students to develop useful skills for their careers. In this paper, we present three experiences (LabBattle...

Trigeminal neuralgia is a common cause of facial pain. Pathophysiology considerations, surgical armementorium and results are mentioned. Because none of the currently available techniques is perfect, there is a continuing effort of neurosurgeons to develop new treatment methods. There are: microvascular decompression – which offer the best chance of permanent pain relief without sensory loss or...

Descriptive-exploratory study, aiming to propose a program of qualification for the nursing staff, based on an indicator of healthcare quality related to the newborn’s skin integrity during a given period of hospital internment. Data from 121 newborns, collected during their stays at a neonatal unit of a university hospital according to the acquired skin injuries, associated risk factors and in...

Purpose of this paper is to propose approach and technical infrastructure for improvement of inter-organizational networks’ response in product information acquisition and management. Different approaches (industrial categorization schemes, functional decomposition and semantic web) for management of product information are analyzed in context of inter-organizational networks. Process for seman...

The complexity of authoring adaptive learning designs and the extra effort and technical knowledge required for course designers restrains the actual application of adaptive course delivery in real settings. Our research works focuses on alleviating the workload for the course designer by applying artificial intelligence techniques that automate part of the design process. We have designed an i...

Enterprise systems (ES) that capture the most advanced developments of information technology are becoming common fixtures in most organisations. However, how ES affect organizational agility (OA) has been less researched and the existing research remains equivocal. From the perspective that ES can positively contribute to OA, this research via theory-based model development and rigorous empiri...

The paper aims at illustrating the original technical solution provided within an academic institute in order to manage teaching activities, encompassing the coordination of project-centred learning processes that run in parallel with the formal theoretical courses. Unlike the planning of the academic teaching that can be scheduled year by year, the development of a project cannot be defined ov...

Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are caught in a double bind. As competitive pressures mount and customers press for higher quality standards, tighter cost control and faster response times from suppliers, SMEs find it increasingly vital to accelerate process and product innovation. At the same time, the attendant risks of innovation are higher for a small firm than a large one: usuall...

The interoperability of medical information systems is gaining more attention as the need for the collaboration in healthcare domain increases. Consolidation of distributed patient data and building a sustainable e-health system is the major research challenge. In order to overcome institutional barriers and competences for changes across sectors, standardized data structures and corresponding ...

This paper presents different possibilities of using mobile robots in education. Through the application of mobile mechatronic robotic system "Robotino" this paper shows the possibilities of developing interactive lectures and exercises in order to raise the quality of education and to provide new competencies for students. Application of robot as a real system supports strengthening specific a...
