During the novel Coronavirus emergency operations and workflows in all Italian hospitals were disrupted Fujifilm wanted to ensure its cutting-edge tools were available to reduce the impact caused by the rapid spread of COVID-19 and to give a timely response to the spread of the pandemic All images that artificial intelligence identified as suspected COVID-19 were subjected to processing by the radiologist in a faster and more urgent manner In November 2019, a collaboration agreement between ASST of Vimercate and Fujifilm was signed with a view to exploring new approaches to the treatment of patients, with benefits both to the clinical services and to healthcare operators. “REiLI's support,” says Marcello Intotero Head of Radiology Structure and Diagnostic Services Department “has allowed our radiologists to report examinations with greater speed and efficiency their workloads have not particularly increased as other causes for non-urgent examinations were limited to avoid an excess flow of patients This new technology has given great support to the workflow; all images that artificial intelligence identified as suspected COVID-19 were subjected to processing by the radiologist in a faster and more urgent manner than other images which the system analyzed as corresponding to a healthy lung.” REiLI’s processing of CT scans and chest x-rays provides important support for radiologists quantitative and objective assessment of the various zones of the lungs is the best example of applying the new AI technology in that it is a quick and simple examination which provides a large amount of useful information for evaluating the presence of the pulmonary parenchymal consolidation caused by the virus The data obtained from artificial intelligence does not replace the molecular diagnoses performed using the nasopharyngeal swab (RT-PCR) and nor does it replace the precious analyses and diagnoses performed by the radiologist does provide support in reporting on daily examinations conducted to monitor and study the development of the disease and constitute a second opinion for the operators Fujifilm’s Artificial Intelligence platform is integrated with the Lunit Insight CXR module for the analysis and detection of the main types of pulmonary disease (nodules the Lunit Insight CXR3 module has been updated to provide support in specifically identifying the pulmonary parenchymal consolidation caused by the virus REiLI has been installed at ASST Vimercate in just two weeks by installing a parallel PACS to avoid interrupting the daily workflow REiLI was already operating and during its first five days it had worked on more than 600 images more than 900 positive cases of COVID-19 were found with an average of 80 chest x-rays per day allowing precise and punctual data collection more than 80 chest x-rays of inpatients and first-aid patients have been analysed each day at the Vimercate Hospital," explains Giovanni Delgrossi “If no priority is set for the examinations to be reported it may take hours to identify a particular x-ray which could require prompt we need to react and act even more quickly.” “Alternative Intelligence is a new operating concept projected towards collaborative intelligence between machine and man,” explains Nicola Bilibio Clinical Specialist Medical Informatics (CSE) Fujifilm Europe GmbH “This is a fundamental tool for optimizing the workflow and for screening patients from COVID-19 we promptly made our most advanced technologies available to make our concrete contribution to the crisis.” Medical imaging is critical across many fields of healthcare – but accessing it in remote or rural locations can be a struggle resulting in missed appointments or delayed diagnoses Fujifilm aims to become an entity that can contribute to the advancement of human health by supporting the ongoing transformation in the healthcare industry – as a “One-Stop” solution partner Synapse VNA is the true-VNA application for the content management of images and medical information at the enterprise level; it is an open storage solution This website uses cookies to give our readers the best website experience.

thanks to an immersive environment created for the occasion - to experience the fruition of these dematerialized works which move painting into a new space-time dimension With projections Munari once again anticipated experiences destined for an important evolution in the following decades will explore Munari’s experiments with the Rank Xerox photocopier Ten years later a fully automated variant was released In the early 1960s Munari began to use the photocopying machine as an expressive tool in effect distorting its function: he transformed an object created to make replicated images into a means of creating unique and original works Munari moves images or textures on the photocopier’s platen during the scanning time thus exploiting this new technology for unusual and unexpected purposes Then there is a section entitled The Design in which the relationship between design and art for Munari is addressed both in his texts and through the creation of works that contaminate the two languages On display - in addition to works such as fabric collages - will be a number of objects designed by the artist with mass production in mind The relationship with the world of design and production will also be explored in its different aspects with educational panels the last section is titled Publishing and Advertising: examples of Munari’s interaction with the world of communication (both in the form of his collaboration with magazines and publishing products and the development of new graphic forms of page layout and the use of fonts and images) cannot be missed in the exhibition one room will be devoted to his work for Campari the large red poster and a series of collages and studies for advertising (some also unpublished) from the collection of Galleria Campari Enriching the exhibition is a space dedicated to experimental workshops offered to schools and children there will be special guided tours conducted by expert museum staff In addition to the workshops conducted at MUST the educational proposal also sees the collaboration of the Civic Library with readings dedicated to children as well as meetings and lectures by the curators The Bruno Munari Method Experimentation Workshops for MUST Museo del Territorio take place under the planning training and supervision of Associazione Bruno Munari (ABM) and are scientifically supervised by Silvana Sperati The exhibition is part of the museum’s permanent itinerary and admission to the exhibition also allows visitors to visit the museum tour The exhibition opens on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m free for under 14 and people with disabilities Guided tours every Saturday at 4 pm (2 euros extra) “The definition of ’artist’ to Munari goes a bit narrow: endowed with imagination inventiveness and speculative intelligence he put his many talents at the service of design a new pedagogical concept and the visual arts letting the boundaries between these categories be in constant osmosis is the action of popularizing his artistic production that has been being carried out for years and with great wisdom by such realities as that of the Bruno Munari Association (ABM) and that of Luca Zaffarano’s Munart project both because of the enormous amount of work that has been done and because of the absence of a well-defined style,” says Luca Zaffarano “Munari has repeatedly been the subject of exhibitions whose curatorship has limited to observing him from a specific point of view he has been exhibited in his complexity without any guideline capable of orienting the reading of his multiform body of works.” “The decision to narrate the artistic production of Bruno Munari,” stresses Elena Lah “has in itself the desire on the part of the municipal administration to bring art closer to a wide audience one that wants to overcome the limits of what it does not know in order to play with art The exhibition has a popular approach and is flanked by in-depth events dedicated to children and adults to discover together how reality is imbued with beauty if only we put on the right lenses.” “In the exhibition,” highlights Silvana Sperati president of ABM - Associazione Bruno Munari “a space has been set up and a project of experiences outlined that is useful for offering children the opportunity to come into contact with the artist’s didactic suggestions In the workshop they will come into contact with the approach suggested by Munari which in fact retraces the mode and style that he himself put in place in his artistic making An opportunity to ignite and renew curiosity discovering the pleasure of making.” The exhibition will be open from Jan with a special free admission opening on Jan Our editors will review what you’ve submitted and determine whether to revise the article and after the war he became attracted to Mussolini Farinacci founded the Fascist daily Cremona nuova and was the main party organizer in Cremona the Fascist squadre d’azione (armed squads) engaged in brutal repression and violence especially by forcibly taking over Cremona (July 1922) continually critical of Mussolini for being too cautious and moderate had many followers and probably hastened the Fascist ascendancy Appointed secretary general of the party (February 1925) Farinacci insisted upon defying Mussolini and was allowed to resign in March 1926 He returned to Cremona but tried to flee Italy when the Allies advanced northward he was tried and executed by a firing squad CT40 passes BHS Protocol and AAMI/ ISO Standard for BP measurements in adults October 11, 2017 — The CT40 spot-check device from SunTech Medical has received third-party validation for blood pressure performance as specified by the British Hypertension Society and the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation/ International Organization for Standardization The SunTech CT40 provides clinical-grade, automated spot-check measurements of blood pressure and other vital signs for patients in hospitals long-term care and low-acuity hospital departments A modular design allows clinicians to easily customize the device in the field; adding thermometry Sp02 and Wi-Fi based on the unique needs of the patient and facility conducted independently by Hernan Polo Fritz and the staff at Vimercate Hospital (Vimercate Italy) determined that the CT40 achieved an A/A grade according to the 1993 BHS protocol and fulfilled requirements set by the AAMI/ ISO standard 81060-2:2013 The study confirmed the accuracy of oscillometric BP measurements taken by the CT40 and recommend it for BP measurement in adults Full study results will be published in the October issue of Blood Pressure Monitoring, and on the journal’s website the leading provider of general health and wellness video-based monitoring solutions .. 2019 — Blood pressure monitoring might one day become as easy as taking a video selfie 2017 — The new SunTech Oscar 2 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring system (ABPM) is now available ..

VP Solar has been operating since 1999 in the distribution of components and systems for renewable energy and energy saving VP Solar has built and consolidated a reputation as a reliable partner with a clear B2B positioning expert in selecting and testing innovative solutions to be proposed systemically thanks to the engineering approach of its research and development team VP Solar is committed to sustainability through a long-term vision contributing to the production and use of decentralized with 45 employees and a turnover of 300 million euros the vision of VP Solar has always been to offer totally integrated systems that start with the creation of energy through photovoltaic panels to energy supply through heat pumps in order to make zero emission homes and companies run greener and with low energy impact With the entry in January 2022 of the Tadiran Group an Israeli leader in the sale of solutions for air conditioning which is already a reference point in Italy for the distribution of solutions for renewable energy the main European markets for renewable energy are Germany Several countries show a low maturity in the implementation of integrated energy systems for example the storage of self-produced energy often due to the lack of incentive policies Another important short-term challenge for VP Solar is to position itself on the Commercial & Industrial (C&I) market with an integrated offering that allows companies to produce their own energy in-house avoiding a total dependence on the electricity system market conditions allow a company a rapid return on investment exploiting both incentives related to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan funds and those provided for Italian and European legislation One of the main motivations behind VP Solar’s focus on GROW with SAP a comprehensive offering of solutions to enable midsize companies to successfully transition to cloud ERP was the technological evolution that Tadiran Group is implementing from an SAP on premise (SAP ECC) system to SAP S/4HANA in the private cloud version which recorded about 700 million sales in 2022 aims to more than double that number within the next three to four years it must equip itself with new skills and tools suitable for a sustainable development of the business has also adapted its systems from SAP Business One to SAP S/4HANA Cloud public edition with a project that started last September and went live in early April of this year This implementation effectively acted as a pilot and best practice for other companies in the group operating in the same context This evolution of the company’s technology systems will help managers to control all the processes and business data of the group’s companies more easily we have focused on the best solution available on the market and we have equipped ourselves with a tool that can support our continuous evolution and that adapts to the specificities of our industry This change is also reflected in a greater involvement of our people who feel stimulated by the innovative developments that the company is doing to them to improve efficiency and to sustain their professional growth,” said Alessio Maso “With this project VP Solar wanted also to demonstrate its distinctive value compared to direct competitors using cutting-edge solutions and technologies that competitors do not use yet.” which includes the SAP S/4HANA Cloud public edition solution provides many standard best practices that allow companies to understand how to adapt their business models to the new technological evolution “The project involved a huge effort to review all our processes and in fact GROW with SAP was also a way to deeply understand them and try to improve This path has allowed us to achieve an overall efficiency of between 20% and 25% it looks like we no longer have 45 employees but we have the twenty percent more resources,” concludes Maso “Another aspect of great impact was change management considering that today processes and operational flows and workflow are well defined with tighter control over data and well-orchestrated information management.” chosen after two months of selection among the best technology consulting companies VP Solar initially assessed whether the public cloud version could respond appropriately to its business needs including a proper management of regulations affecting the renewable energy market The project started in mid-September then ended in a little over six months with a series of further developments that are expected in the coming weeks such as the automatic import of passive invoices and the integration with an external logistics partner with an order process that exceeds the logic of e-mails that automatically will be integrated with the entire management system you can develop and execute digital transformation projects in the short term explore new markets or grow through acquisitions this integrated offering from SAP is an easily replicable solution that allows to have a unique and real-time access to the information and a fast time to value,” said Fabrizio Moneta director of Mid Market and Channel at SAP

ABB said it intends to retain all 800 inverter business employees, spread across more than 30 countries. The company has manufacturing and R&D sites in Finland, India and Italy “The divestment is in line with our strategy of ongoing systematic portfolio management to strengthen competitiveness [and] focus on the quality of revenue and higher growth segments,” said Tarak Mehta president of ABB’s electrification business “Solar is a well-established and key focus for Fimer and as such we believe them to be a very good owner for ABB’s solar inverter business The combination of the portfolios under Fimer will support further sales growth Through our intelligent low and medium-voltage offering ABB will continue to integrate solar power into a range of smart solutions including smart buildings energy storage and electric vehicle charging.” The divestment will bring ABB in line with some of its peers, who are increasingly focusing on internet of things platforms, smart energy and smart EV charging in the low and medium-voltage sector. Inverter businesses such as  Schneider Electric  are turning their back on utility scale solar while others continue to invest such as Siemens with its recent acquisition of Kaco IHS Markit analyst Cormac Gilligan told pv magazine “One of the overarching themes is that multinational industrial manufacturers have due to the rapid reduction of solar inverter prices over the last few years certainly squeezed profit margins,” said the solar and energy storage research manager some players are refocusing on higher growth areas such as smart home and storage or smart EV charging.” the transition from subsidies to competitive tenders – and now PPAs – meant costs had become immensely competitive in the last couple of years big multinational technology companies have struggled to meet profit margins and will ditch low-margin business units to lift overall figures Focusing on other areas enables companies such as Siemens Schneider – and now ABB – to leverage much more efficiently their digital portfolios Gilligan said Fimer has been particularly active with central inverters in the utility scale market. Though it has also brought to market string inverters, the analyst believes Fimer can benefit from the technology production and knowledge transfer it will gain from the transaction Fimer is likely better positioned to tap into the fast growing commercial and industrial sector and also to cater to string inverter demand in utility scale plants Fimer has been very active in Latin America, and particularly in Brazil where it was ranked the second largest supplier for the last five years The company has also been active in Africa – especially Egypt – and other emerging markets and the ABB transaction will enable the business to exploit its new unit’s marketing channels in India More articles from Marian Willuhn 2022 – SAP and Ducati today announce a global collaboration that sees the Italian motorcycle manufacturer choose RISE with SAP to enable an important business transformation The collaboration is underpinned by a shared desire to improve and enrich the experiences of passionate Ducati customers through innovation excellence and cutting-edge products and services Technology and innovation are essential elements in Ducati’s DNA the Italian company aims to be at the forefront and its intent is to create an intelligent business network with suppliers and partners extending the digitalization of processes and enhancing the accuracy and timeliness of information These are necessary steps as Ducati puts passionate customers at the center of its business and to respond effectively and efficiently to an increasingly complex global supply system Ducati will also adopt the SAP Commerce Cloud solution for Ducati’s online business management and SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) for agile supply chain planning that will lead to an extended and integrated digital supply chain “Our passionate customers have always been at the center of the company strategy and we try to offer them the best possible experience in the world of two wheels We rely heavily on innovation and technology to be at the forefront of our business processes “Supply chains are increasingly complex and have been subject to transformation in recent years Having a partner like SAP at our side will allow Ducati to make the supply chain even more flexible connecting the needs of the “Ducatisti” better and better to the logic of supply and production” “The Ducati brand is synonymous with excellence and is known all over the world for the quality of its products and for the competitiveness it expresses in every race Ducati has the highest standards for their Customer’s Experience and operates a sophisticated Supply Chain therefore end-to-end process integration and high availability are essential By combining our strengths and bringing all our innovative know-how with CX we could not be prouder to be on this business transformation journey together Customer Experience today represents everything and Ducati wants to put CX even more at the center of its operations” “Working alongside Ducati in the MotoGP world championship as Official Partner of the Ducati Lenovo Team is a tremendous honor for SAP The power and excellence of Ducati motorcycles  The collaboration between the two companies also extends to the world of racing an area in which technological development and innovation have always been driven to excellence SAP joins the Official Partners of the Ducati Lenovo Team in MotoGP for the 2022 season Ducati images are available at this link  till June 6th Visit the SAP News Center.

2024 Citrus MediaAll rights reserved MILAN (AP) – A man on trial for fraudulent bankruptcy opened fire in Milan’s courthouse Thursday a co-defendant and a judge before being captured nearly 25 kilometres away as he fled on a motorbike As the shots rang out in the fortress-like tribunal court employees barricaded themselves inside their offices and took cover under their desks while police hunted for the gunman who moved unimpeded from one floor to the next “There was a lot of panic at the beginning when people came running toward us saying there was a person with a pistol who had been shooting,” said lawyer Mirko Ricetti who said he locked himself in a first-floor court room after hearing a shot After texting loved ones that they were OK employees and lawyers were eventually allowed to trickle out of the tribunal followed by the men who had their court ID cards checked Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said the suspect was caught by carabinieri police in Vimercate indicating he had travelled some 25 kilometres (15 miles) from the scene before being captured An ambulance with escort was seen leaving the Vimercate police station but it wasn’t immediately clear if the gunman was inside Prosecutor Edmondo Bruti Liberati said the gunman first fired on his lawyer and co-defendant killing both and seriously injuring a second co-defendant and killed the judge,” Bruti Liberati told The Associated Press He said it wasn’t clear whether there was any relationship between the gunman and the judge He identified the slain judge as Fernando Ciampi who worked in the civil section of bankruptcy court The ANSA news agency identified the gunman as Claudio Giardiello Bruti Liberati said the gunman was on trial with two others for fraudulent bankruptcy told RAI state TV the case concerned a failed real estate business and that Giardiello was “very unusual” and “over the top” in his legal dealings The shooting immediately raised questions about how the man gained entrance to the Fascist-era courthouse with a weapon given that visitors must pass through metal detectors The courthouse has metal detectors at the four main entrances but lawyers and courthouse employees with official IDs are regularly waved through without the additional security screen and accredited employees can drive into the internal garage Attornies Mirko and Davide Pupo noted that the metal detector from the lawyers’ entrance had been removed several months ago Employees who emerged after the shooting suggested that the gunman could easily have gained entrance without passing
