Digital Image Quality in Medicine
by Oleg S. PianykhMaking a good diagnostic image is only the beginning; keeping it good and diagnostically sound is a much more difficult proposition, one that is often neglected or forgotten by clinical practitioners. With anything digital, the assumption of persistent original quality opens a Pandora's box of medical fiascos. Poorly selected image interpolation, thoughtlessly used compression, confused image enhancement options and the like can transform a good original into a useless clutter of pixels. This book is dedicated to learning better options. Intended for physicians, clinical practitioners and applications specialists, it provides a well-rounded introduction to meaningful diagnostic image housekeeping. The book presents the most important aspects of safe digital image workflows, starting from the basic practical implications and gradually uncovering the underlying concepts and algorithms. With an easy-to-follow, down-to-earth presentation style, the text helps you to optimize your diagnostic imaging projects and connect the dots of medical informatics.

Beiträge in sozialen Medien und Fach-Communitys, Testversionen, YouTube-Videos, Webinare, Whitepapers, Kundenstimmen etc. – fließen in die B2B Buyer's Journey ein und überfordern Anbieter bei ihrem Versuch, die potenziellen Käufer online zu erreichen.Anna Selent identifiziert neun Digital Interaction Hubs (DIHs) im B2B-Kauf und -Verkaufsprozess, die einen innovativen Zugang zu den relevantesten Anbieter-Käufer-Interaktionen darstellen und die Komplexität reduzieren. Diese bilden das Grundgerüst für einen käuferadäquaten Online-Auftritt der Webseite des Anbieters und seiner digitalen Vertriebs- und Marketingaktivitäten auf externen Plattformen.

Digital Interactions in Developing Countries: An Economic Perspective (Routledge Studies in Development Economics #99)
by Jeffrey JamesJeffrey James is one of the relatively few academics to have systematically taken on the topic of IT and development. In this timely book he undertakes a methodological critique of prominent topics in the debate. Challenging the existing literature by international and governmental institutions, the book looks not only at the digital divide but also at issues such as digital preparedness, leapfrogging and low-cost computers. James also raises important issues which have been largely neglected in the literature, such as the implications for poverty in developing countries and the macroeconomics of mobile phones. The book argues that benefits from IT are captured in a different form in developing as opposed to developed countries. In the latter, gains come from technology ownership and use, whereas in the former, benefits cannot be captured as much in this way because ownership is more limited. Interestingly, the author shows that developing countries have responded to this distinction with a series of local innovations which are often low-cost and pro-poor. This finding contradicts the widely held view that poor countries are unable to generate major innovations within their own borders. Accessible and clearly written, this book will be of great interest to scholars of development economics and development studies, and is relevant to both policy-makers and academics.

Digital Labour Markets in Central and Eastern European Countries: COVID-19 and the Future of Work (Routledge Studies in Labour Economics)
by Beata Woźniak-Jęchorek Kamilla Marchewka-BartkowiakThis book examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on changing labour markets and accelerating digitalisation of the workplace in Central and Eastern Europe. It provides an innovative and enriching take on the work experience from the pandemic times and discusses the challenges of ongoing changes in labour markets and workplaces in a way that is not covered by the extant literature. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and digitalisation on labour market outcomes is analysed throughout 12 chapters, by 34 labour market experts from various CEE countries. Most chapters are based on empirical methods yet are presented in an easy-to-follow way to make the book also accessible for a non-scientific audience. The volume addresses the three key goals: to better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the adoption of workplace digitalisation in the selected labour markets in CEE countries and the potential trade-offs facing those who do and do not have access to this benefit to complement the labour market research by incorporating the outputs of changing demand for skills to contribute new insight into policies and regulations that govern the future of work The book argues that the recent COVID-19 pandemic was a sombre reminder of the relevance and necessity of digital technology for a variety of sectors and market activities. It concludes that to downside the risks of vanishing jobs, as well as to minimise the threats and maximise the opportunities of digitalisation in CEE countries, labour market partners need to consider an effective governance tool in terms of inclusive access to the digital environment, re-skilling, and balanced regulations of the more problematic facets of digital work. The book will be of interest to postgraduate researchers and academics in the fields of labour economics, regional economics, and macroeconomics. Additionally, due to the broader policy implications of the topic, the book will appeal to policymakers and experts interested in labour economics. The Introduction, Chapters 4 and 12 of this book are freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.
Digital Leadership im Tourismus: Digitalisierung und Künstliche Intelligenz als Wettbewerbsfaktoren der Zukunft
by Marco A. Gardini Guido SommerDieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über den State of the Art zum Thema Digitalisierung und Künstliche Intelligenz im Tourismus und in den damit verbundenen wesentlichen Gestaltungs- und Handlungsfeldern. Die Autoren diskutieren Entwicklungen in folgenden Kontexten: digitale Transformation, digitale Geschäftsmodelle, digitaler Wettbewerb, digitales Mindset und digitale Führungskompetenzen.

Denn Digitalisierung und Künstliche Intelligenz als Treiber des zukünftigen Unternehmenserfolgs sind einerseits Top-Themen in zahlreichen touristischen Branchen, andererseits zeigen viele aktuelle Unternehmenskonzepte, dass das Thema bislang für den Tourismussektor kaum analysiert und systematisiert wurde und in der Praxis vielfach unzureichend konzeptionell und organisatorisch verankert ist.Der Autoren-Mix aus Wissenschaft und Unternehmenspraxis macht den Sammelband zu einem Nachschlagewerk für jeden, den das Thema Digitalisierung und Künstliche Intelligenz im Tourismus bewegt.
Digital Leadership, Agile Change and the Emotional Organization: Emotion as a Success Factor for Digital Transformation Projects (Future of Business and Finance)
by Martin KupiekThis book shows an innovative way for managers to gain a better understanding of emotions in teams and organizational units and thus positively influence agile development in the context of digital transformation of companies. Digitalization does not just lead to technical changes. It dramatically changes the way employees work with each other as well as how executives play their roles. In an agile working environment, middle management in particular loses power, influence, and relevance, and customer relationships are subject to greater affectivity. The result is an increased emotionalization of the actors, which should be recognized and understood prior to designing the emotional landscape of the organization and to developing and implementing successful business models. The author introduces various conventional and AI-based instruments based on current research for handling emotions, supported by practical concepts.

Der Autor stellt verschiedene analoge und KI-basierte Instrumente auf der Basis der aktuellen Emotionsforschung für den Umgang mit Emotionen vor begleitet von praxisnahen Konzepten.
Digital Leadership: Evidence from Theory and Practice (Routledge Studies in Leadership Research)
by Ahmad M. SalihIn the evolving landscape of leadership, factors from both environmental and cultural dimensions play a crucial role. In the contemporary era of digitalisation and globalisation, the impact on leadership has expanded significantly. This places greater pressure on leaders to succeed. The integration of technology and knowledge management adds complexity, demanding not only effectiveness but also cultural adaptability for navigating digital organisational changes. Effective leadership prerequisites endure, regardless of technological influence. Amid the push for digital leadership in modern organisations, it's essential to acknowledge the complexity of defining and analysing leadership. This treatise emphasises adaptability and intelligence as foundational for digital leaders and followers. Organisational ambidexterity underscores the simultaneous need for digital alignment and adaptability in effective leadership. This book emphasises followership's natural evolution in individual growth. It delves into the intricate interplay between leadership and followership within the globalised, digital context. Core to the narrative is the 'intelligently learning organization,' a concept explored throughout and conclusively in Chapter 7. While technological prowess benefits leaders, it's vital to recognise its limitations in achieving organisational growth. The text highlights 'digital dexterity,' a concept evaluating internal capacities for embracing digital trajectories. This nascent concept is vital for modern digital leaders to embody.
