The monograph comprehensively presents the research on the prototype of the biomimetic Multi-Spiked Connecting Scaffold (MSC-Scaffold) for cementless fixation of the components of a new generation of resurfacing arthroplasty (RA) endoprostheses. This research, carried out by a bioengineering-surgical team from three Polish universities, includes bioengineering design, rapid prototyping, manufacturing in selective laser melting, functionalization, surface modification, numerical studies, experimental in vitro studies, and pilot surgical experiments in an animal model. Features: •Presents the prototype of the multi-spiked connecting scaffold for a new generation of resurfacing endoprostheses...
Comparative law is a research methodology which has been increasingly fashionable in recent decades, as comparisons between common law and civil law have dominated the law studies landscape. There are many methods of comparative law in use, including comparison of legal rules, comparison of cases, and comparison of legal theories. Each of these methods has strong proponents and opponents. Dogmatic comparisons of rules are criticized for not giving the whole picture of law in action, but praised for being the first and the only truly legal step in comparative research. Case-based comparisons are praised for enabling us to compare the true understanding of rules by courts, yet the critics of t...
These proceedings represent the latest advances in the mechanics of porous materials, known as poromechanics. The porous materials considered are solids containing voids that are impregnated with fluid. The focus is on the mechanical interactions of the inhomogeneous solid with the single- or multi-phase fluid under the loading of mechanical force, fluid pressure, thermal, chemical, and magnetic fields. The response time can be in static, diffusional, and dynamic ranges. The length scale can start from nano, to micro, macro, and up to field scales. Its application covers many branches of science and engineering, including geophysics, geomechanics, composite materials, biomechanics, acoustics...
The use of machines has changed the workplaces of today. While machinery is still not able to perform certain jobs that require creative or non-routine functions, their continuous advancements have shifted the dynamic between organizations and manual laborers. Strategic Imperatives and Core Competencies in the Era of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence focuses on contemporary organizations and their use of new competencies. Featuring coverage on new skill identification and best practices for management, this book is essential for professionals, administrators, researchers, and students seeking current research on the latest developments in technological applications in the workplace.
This study on social capital of seniors surveyed 26 seniors between the ages of 60 and 89 from Bialystok, Poland. The respondents were either associated with a nursing home for the elderly or with the University of the Third Age. This study emphasizes the need for older people to focus on improving their human, social and cultural capital. It also recommends that public, commercial and non-governmental institutions implement programs that can create favorable conditions for personal growth among seniors.
Monografia dotyczy nurtu normalizacyjnego w zarządzaniu jakością. Przez to pojęcie rozumie się zestaw powiązanych ze sobą, ale dających się wyodrębnić zagadnień opisanych w normach (np. definicji, metod, zasad, wytycznych). Celem opracowania jest konceptualizacja tego nurtu oraz ocena jego statusu w ramach zarządzania jakością. W rozważaniach uwzględniona została zarówno perspektywa holistyczna, gdyż rozważaniami objęte są trzy normy tworzące serię ISO 9000 (tj. ISO 9000, ISO 9001 oraz ISO 9004), jak i perspektywa retrospektywna, ponieważ uwzględniono w niej zarówno aktualne, jak i wszystkie wcześniejsze wersje norm tych standardów. Ocenę znaczenia, jakości opracowania oraz użyteczności nurtu normalizacyjnego w zarządzaniu jakością przeprowadzono na podstawie opinii wyrażonych przez 73 ekspertów pochodzących z 17 różnych państw.
