This article is based on one of the manufacturers of automotive components in India referred to as Avanti Enterprises (AvE). It describes the implementation of a Business-to-Business (B2B) website by AvE for its suppliers and highlights the factors that led to use of this website, by one particular supplier. As an example, this supplier is referred to as Bhusan Industries (BHI). The case is based on a dyad of primary organization (AvE) and the user organization (BHI) to discuss the level of use of a B2B website by the dyad and describes the factors related to the primary hosting organization and the user organization that determines use. The article aims to: understand why a website is used; to describe the website features and how they are used; describe the primary organization characteristics; how and why those characteristics influence the website use; to describe the user organization characteristics; and how and why they influence the website use. Sources of data include company documentation, interviews, industry databases, secondary case studies relevant to the framework and company websites.

INTRODUCTION:The use of health apps is rapidly increasing. They intend to promote health or to treat diseases; in some cases, substituting medical duties. No specific frameworks to assess mHealth solutions in a broad scope and in a comprehensive way have been identified. We aim to propose a framework for mHealth assessment.METHODS:The framework development was based on: •Literature review to identify existing assessment models including the evaluation of health effects•Exploratory analysis with experts and user group discussions•Definition of the assessment model, following the domains of health technology assessment.RESULTS:Existing frameworks are mainly focused on certification criteria. Professionals and users agreed on the need to undertake mHealth assessments as to better inform user decisions. Assessments should be sensible to continuous changes of these technologies and be undertaken by independent organizations.The proposed framework offers a step-by-step process by which any mHealth solution can be categorized and analyzed, according to: (i) Risk classification matrix: combining intervention type and patient type, (ii) Users: patients, professionals, informal caregivers individually or all of these together and (iii) Integration: stand-alone, fully integrated.The model has four evaluation domains: technical maturity, risks, benefits and resources needed, including the commonly accepted evaluation perspectives: technical, contents, clinical/health, user perspective, organizational and socio-economic. Sub-domains are defined as: end-user, organization, healthcare system and community (society as a whole). Aspects to be assessed are selected according to the purpose of the evaluation (intended use / intended impact) and vary depending on the type of the mHealth solution: product or service.CONCLUSIONS:The mHealth assessment process is needed and should be: (i) continuous/iterative, providing timely conclusions and recommendations for improvement, (ii) inclusive/collaborative, involving all stakeholders,and (iii) constantly adapting to standards. The proposed framework is intended to support informed decisions when developing, integrating, selecting, recommending, or adopting mHealth solutions.

Transnational access (TNA) to national radiation sources is presently providedviaprogrammes of the European Commission by BIOSTRUCT-X and CALIPSO with a major benefit for scientists from European countries. Entirely based on scientific merit, TNA allows all European scientists to realise synchrotron radiation experiments for addressing the Societal Challenges promoted in HORIZON2020. In addition, by TNA all European users directly take part in the development of the research infrastructure of facilities. The mutual interconnection of users and facilities is a strong prerequisite for future development of the research infrastructure of photon science. Taking into account the present programme structure of HORIZON2020, the European Synchrotron User Organization (ESUO) sees considerable dangers for the continuation of this successful collaboration in the future.

In 2004 Art Therapy Lab was created to investigate viability of team approach in art therapy in psychiatry. Five projects were carried out between 2004–2010. These projects were based on cooperation between medical professionals, professional artists and members of user organization. During these projects adherance to ethical regulations was assesed, ethical difficulties and dillemas were noted and discussed. This paper will discuss main ethical problems that were relevant in those projects and provide recomendations on how to solve and prevent them.
