Die Verfügbarkeit bildbasierter Dokumente ist von grundlegender Bedeutung für Forschung, Lehre und die Verbreitung kulturellen Wissens. Digitalisate historischer Bilder, Bücher, Zeitschriften, Manuskripte, Karten, Schriftrollen und Archivmaterialen online bereitzustellen, macht es möglich, deren Inhalte ortsunabhängig und bei optimalem Schutz der Originalobjekte großen Nutzerkreisen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Ein internationaler Standard zum maschinenverarbeitbaren Bereitstellung von Digitalisaten im Internet existierte bis vor einigen Jahren aber noch nicht.

Nach zehn Jahren bedurfte es einer grundlegenden Überarbeitung von Sachsen.digital als interdisziplinärer Wissensplattform zur Geschichte, Kultur und Landeskunde Sachsens. Ab sofort ist unter dieser Marke die Präsentation der im Landesdigitalisierungsprogramm produzierten Digitalisate als sächsisches kulturelles Erbe zu erreichen. Daneben wird es ab Januar 2018 ein neues landeskundliches Angebot geben (Saxorum), welches gezielt Informationsquellen miteinander vernetzt und gemeinsam recherchierbar macht. Hier stehen einige neue Funktionen, unter anderem die Personensuche, sowie erstmals Beteiligungsmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung.

24 Stunden, sieben Tage die Woche: Mit dem Onleihe-Verbund „Liesa“ bieten 31 sächsische Stadt- und Gemeindebibliotheken ihren Kunden ein Onlineportal an, das rund um die Uhr genutzt werden kann – gerade im ländlichen Raum ein enormer Vorteil und Vorbild für andere Regionen. Im Oktober wurde das Projekt deshalb mit dem „Bibliothekspreis 2015“ ausgezeichnet.

Informar sobre temas especializados no suele ser tan fácil dada la complejidad de los términos y, algunas veces, la transmisión de la información puede ser no tan clara para el lector. Sin embargo, existen géneros periodísticos como la infografía cuya función es facilitar al lector la captación del mensaje, a través de un contenido conciso, claro y directo, y además por la combinación armoniosa de diferentes elementos textuales y visuales. Precisamente, para desarrollar la presente investigación se ha elegido a la infografía periodística con el objetivo de analizar su construcción a través de la identificación de su clasificación, sus aspectos periodísticos, sus elementos textuales y sus elementos visuales que la componen, en infografías enfocadas en un suceso relevante a nivel mundial como el coronavirus en el Perú. Se analizaron 14 infografías en total (7 del portal web El Comercio y 7 del portal web La República) publicadas durante los tres primeros meses del año 2020, en donde se comprueba que ambos medios construyeron sus infografías en función de hitos temáticos propios del coronavirus; es decir, a medida que avanzaban los hechos se incorporaron más componentes en escena. / Reporting on specialized topics is usually not that easy given the complexity of the terms and, sometimes, the transmission of the information can be so clear to the reader. However, there are journalistic genres such as infographics whose function is to facilitate the reader's grasp of the message, through a concise, clear and direct content, and also by the harmonious combination of different textual and visual elements. Precisely, to develop this research, the journalistic infographic has been chosen to analyze its construction through the identification of its classification, its journalistic aspects, its textual elements and its visual elements that compose it, in infographics focused on a relevant event worldwide such as the coronavirus in Peru. A total of 14 infographics were analyzed (7 from the El Comercio web portal and 7 from the La Republica web portal) published during the first three months of 2020, where it is verified that both media built their infographics based on thematic milestones of the coronavirus; In other words, as the events progressed, more components were incorporated onto the scene. / Tesis

Företag kan använda webbsidor för att förmedla information och erbjuda stöd i användningen av deras produkter. En ökad tillgång till relevant information skapar en större förståelse hos kunder för de produkter de använder. Genom att öka kunders individuella kunskap kan de känna att de har makt och kontroll, ”empowerment”, över sin egen situation. Strategin kallas för ”customer empowerment”. Studien utfördes som en fallstudie på ett informations- och mjukvaruföretag där studien centrerade kring en av företagets produkter. Syftet med denna studie var att skapa underlag i form av en konceptuell modell för en framtida utveckling av en användbar och informativ customer empowerment-portal där centrala teman som användbarhet, informationskvalitet samt användarupplevelse beaktades. En litteraturgenomgång inleddes för att anskaffa kunskap om ämnet som sedan sammanfattades i en konceptuell modell. Sex slumpmässigt utvalda kundrepresentanter deltog i kvalitativa intervjuer för att ta reda på befintliga kunders uppfattningar och behov gällande information och kommunikation. Baserat på svaren togs en low fidelity-prototyp fram som avsåg att konkretisera den konceptuella modellen. Studiens undersökningsfrågor har besvarats genom en analys av resultatet som utfördes med stöd av den konceptuella modellen. Utifrån analysen skapades en reviderad konceptuell modell för att på ett bättre sätt spegla kunders behov. Slutsatserna är att respondenterna var nöjda med den muntliga kommunikation de erhöll från kontaktpersonerna, men webbsidan gav inget stöd för kommunikation utöver att förmedla kontaktuppgifter till företagets växel. I dagsläget har webbsidan en låg informationskvalitet, eftersom informationen inte tillgodoser befintliga kunders behov, utan riktar sig snarare till potentiella kunder. För att kunna skapa en användbar och informativ customer empowerment-portal behöver den skapas utifrån följande förutsättningar: utöka kommunikations- och supportmöjligheterna med en chattfunktion; skapa förutsättningar för kunder att förmedla feedback; förmedla relevant information för befintliga kunder; information om funktioner i Produkten skall förmedlas på ett enkelt och tydligt sätt, exempelvis genom att tillhandahålla enkla guider och instruktionsvideos; integrera portalen med Produktens gränssnitt; placera kontaktuppgifter mer lättillgängligt; anpassade vyer baserat på användare; samt en sökfunktion för att enklare hitta information.

Sasol Infragas uses various maintenance information systems that support operational and maintenance personnel in their everyday environment. These systems have been in operation for more than two years. Currently, there are four maintenance information systems in use at Infragas, these are; alarm management, deviation management, overall efficiency management, and rotating equipment management. The information from these systems is stored on intranet portals which are accessible to all Infragas employees. This paper aimed to analyse the extent to which these portals are being utilised by Infragas employees, if at all. This paper also investigated the employees’ mind-set towards the maintenance information systems. This will assist in understanding which systems enhancements can be made to further improve employee engagement. These objectives were achieved by means of two methods. The first method was an actual usage measurement. This identified which employees were using the portals, as well as the usage frequency. This investigation method gave a real indication of the system usage and highlighted any shortfalls in employees’ interaction with the portals. The second method was a questionnaire, given to Infragas employees. The first section analysed whether the Infragas maintenance information systems are an accepted technology by investigating whether systems are being used by portal users. This was done by means of a technology acceptance model. The questionnaire also aimed to gather information on portal quality characteristics. This would indicate which quality characteristics are important to Infragas employees. Maintenance information system quality needs will differ from employee to employee. This information could improve the quality of interaction between the employees and the portals. The questionnaire also aimed to examine employees’ attitudes towards maintenance information systems. This section investigated whether employees felt that maintenance information systems improved plant performance and were beneficial to the Infragas environment. These investigations revealed valuable information for the improvement of these systems. The connection between the results of the two methods also indicated if both methods were valid. The information gathered from this study was communicated back to the Sasol Infragas management team. Recommendations for possible system improvements, which would increase employee system interaction, were also made. / MIng (Development and Management Engineering), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

In this study, we assessed pirAB toxin transcription in Photorhabdus luminescens laumondii (strain TT01) (Enterobacteriaceae) by comparing mRNA abundance under in vivo and in vitro conditions. In vivo assays considered both natural and forced infections with two lepidopteran hosts: Galleria mellonella and Manduca sexta. Three portals of entry were utilized for the forced infection assays: (a) integument; (b) the digestive route (via mouth and anus); and (c) the tracheal route (via spiracles). We also assessed plu4093-2 transcription during the course of a natural infection; this is when the bacteria are delivered by Heterorhabditis bacteriophora nematodes. Transcript abundance in G. mellonella was higher than in M. sexta at two of the observed time points: 15 and 18 h. Expression of pirAB plu4093-2 reached above endogenous control levels at 22 h in G. mellonella but not in M. sexta. Overall, pirAB plu4093-2 transcripts were not as highly expressed in M. sexta as in G. mellonella, from 15 to 22 h. This is the first study to directly compare pirAB plu4093-2 toxin transcript production considering different portals of entry.

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / The US Navy is embracing the principles of Knowledge Management (KM). One of the key components of KM is the Community of Practice. Communities of Practice are groups that form to share what they know, and to learn from one another regarding some aspect of their work. Organizations are strengthened through an improved network of contacts and enhanced productivity from their personnel. Personnel benefit through peer-group recognition and continuous learning. This thesis seeks to provide an understanding of how the Naval Intelligence Community, through the implementation of Communities of Practice, can reduce duplication of effort, increase collaboration between its personnel, and better support the resources in its people. In this thesis, we have provided a blueprint for building a successful unclassified Community of Practice for Naval Intelligence. This blueprint is designed to support replication on classified networks. / Lieutenant, United States Navy

La technique d'une DPC pour adénocarcinome a évolué ces dernières années tant au niveau sécurité qu'au niveau carcinologique mais cela n'a pas suffit à faire progresser la survie. On peut se demander si la modification de la technique chirurgicale pourrait avoir un impact significatif sur la survie.A) Nous avons recherché, sur 23 pièces de DPC encrées, la présence de la mutation K-ras au niveau de la marge veineuse affirmée R0 en analyse histologique : 13 spécimens (groupe kras+) exprimaient une mutation K-ras au sein de la marge veineuse versus 10 spécimens (groupe kras-) ne l'exprimant pas. Les tumeurs des 2 groupes étaient comparables (taille, envahissement ganglionnaire, engainement périnerveux…). La survie globale à 1 an et 3 ans des groupes kras- versus kras+ étaient de 80% versus 84,6% et 16,7% versus 0% (p=0,03), respectivement. Les médianes de survie des groupes kras- versus kras+ étaient de 24 mois versus 16 mois (p=0,04), respectivement.B) Nous avons comparé, après appariement, 19 patients ayant eu une DPC avec résection « par excès » de la veine porte (groupe VP) avec 19 patients ayant eu une DPC sans résection de la veine porte (groupe contrôle). Les survies médianes et à 3 ans du groupe VP versus groupe contrôle étaient 42 mois versus 22 mois (p=0,04) et 60% versus 31% (p=0,03), respectivement.En conclusion, notre travail a montré qu'au-delà de la marge déterminée par le chirurgien pendant la chirurgie, de celle de l'anatomopathologiste déterminée par l'analyse microscopique, il existait une marge génique. La résection systématique de la veine porte semblait bénéfique car elle permettait sans doute de passer au-delà de cette marge génique. / Pancreticoduodenectomy (PD) for adenocarcinoma was safer during the last decades but did not improve survival. We sought to determine if technical changes during PD could improve survival.A) In a first study, we determine the presence of K-ras mutation in the venous margin of 23 PD's specimens. Thirteen specimens had K-ras mutation (kras+ group) and 10 specimens did not (kras- group). Except K-ras mutation status, tumors of the 2 groups were not different when comparing major histological findings (margin status, lymph node invasion, perineural invasion…). Overall 1- and 3-years survival of patients of kras- group versus kras+ group were 80% versus 84,6% and 16,7% versus 0% (p=0,03), respectively. Median survival of patients of kras- group versus kras+ group were 24 months versus 16 months (p=0,04), respectively.B) In a second study, we compared 19 patients with “excessive” portal vein resection during PD (PV group) with 19 matched patients who underwent PD without venous resection (control group). Median survival of patients of PV group versus control group were 42 months versus 22 months (p=0,04), respectively.In conclusion, we showed that the « genic margin » concept was consistent. Systematic portal vein resection could avoid positive genic margin and might be benefic for patient who underwent PD for resecable adenocarcinoma.
