It aims to enhance preparedness for health crises by incorporating both social and societal elements, highlighted by the urgent needs revealed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on a people-centered approach, PREPSHIELD leverages AI technology to develop strategies and platforms that address the social impacts of health emergencies. Spearheaded by the Università degli Studi del Piemonte Orientale with a €3,891,762.5 budget, this initiative unites a diverse group of stakeholders, including government, civil society, and healthcare entities, to foster tailored communication, management, and simulation tools for anticipating future crises. The project features drills and simulations across local to national scales, supported by a digital platform leveraging the CRIMSON model for effective crisis communication. Bringing together five universities, numerous government and non-profit organizations, an SME, and large companies from seven EU member states and Switzerland, PREPSHIELD seeks to significantly advance preparedness and response capabilities for health crises through innovative technology and a comprehensive, collaborative approach. The results of the project are expected to be methods and approaches that provide evaluation tools and metrics for reviewing crisis management.

In the field of medical imaging data, data and annotations can be scarce and very expensive to obtain, so techniques like Active Learning can be a useful solution. Methods: For this systematic review, the data sources were obtained through IEEE Explore, PubMed, and ACM Digital Library, between the period of 2018 and 2023. Only studies that belonged to the field of healthcare (using medical images as a dataset) and machine learning, written in English and that were not a book, or a survey were used. Covidence was used as a tool to synthesize the results. Results: From 336 records, 51 were included in this review. Interpretation: Most studies showed that Active Learning can have a positive impact on the construction of models, however, it is important to not consider only the informativeness/uncertainty of the sample, but also the distribution of the data, reducing the probability of selecting samples that are not representative enough of the dataset or outliers. Active Learning is usually an iterative process until a stop criterion is met, for example, the model’s performance.

However, the utilization of e-referrals has yielded mixed outcomes, with varying levels of success in organisational processes. This paper explores improvisation of health information systems in Southern African public hospitals from a socio-technical perspective. In particular, the paper explains the design-reality gaps giving rise to improvisations of mandated health information systems in order to understand their occurrence and impact on referral outcomes. We employed the design-reality framework and the Process framework for Healthcare Information System Workarounds and Impacts to explain the socio-technical issues related to the phenomenon of interest. We conducted semi-interviews with 31 respondents from health organisations as case studies. Respondents from two public hospitals in South Africa and two in Namibia were interviewed to examine how they devised improvisations to various health information systems in each setting. The findings indicated that use of WhatsApp in the absence of mandated health information systems (HIS) or improvisation of existing HIS was reported to be advantageous for healthcare practitioners (HCPs), leading to improved efficiency and productivity in the execution of referral activities. Additionally, HCPs reported positive outcomes for health organisations related to continual professional development in the given settings. The findings further show a relationship between design-reality gaps and improvisations enacted by HCPs in both case studies. The observed gaps are related to poor management systems and structures, lack of HCPs’ involvement in the roll-out of HIS and inadequacies of existing HIS to support referral tasks. These study findings can be insightful and useful to system developers and other stakeholders for devising measures to address the gaps. Improvisations and use of WhatsApp for healthcare service delivery present opportunities for innovation and process improvements for health organisations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20465,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Computer Science","volume":"256 ","pages":"Pages 805-815"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143592868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability to control factors like wall thickness and energy density is essential for producing thin-walled components with high structural integrity and reliability. In this study, the influence of the selected process parameter and wall thickness on the fabrication of tool steel 1.2709 by SLM was investigated. The tool steel was processed using two different process parameters and eleven wall thicknesses ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 mm. The two process parameters V1 (87 J/mm³) and V2 (48 J/mm³) differ significantly in their energy density. The specimens were examined for their final wall thickness. Furthermore, the influence of the process parameter and the wall thickness on the mechanical properties, the defects and the microstructure were determined. The investigations revealed a fine dendritic microstructure in the as-built condition. Depending on the process parameter, the mechanical properties are weakened by the porosity observed in thinner wall thicknesses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20465,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Computer Science","volume":"253 ","pages":"Pages 853-862"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143480507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of data services and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) are essential for CE, as these technologies improve efficiency, traceability, and resource optimization. This paper presents the development process of the Circular Data Service Cards (DSC), an extension card set (20 newly designed cards, one new category) to the existing Data Service Cards (50 cards, grouped into 5 categories) to assist the co-creation process in developing data services that support the circular economy. The cards address the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration (user-centered service design, data science and circular economy) and varying expertise levels essential for building a circular data-driven business. Alongside the developed sub-categories (new cards), the outcomes of this study provide a valuable enhancement of the existing DSC.
