Abstract
Background and aim: Some studies suggest that narrow-band imaging (NBI) can be more accurate at diagnosing gastric intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia than white-light endoscopy (WLE) alone. We aimed to assess the real-time diagnostic validity of high resolution endoscopy with and without NBI in the diagnosis of gastric premalignant conditions and to derive a classification for endoscopic grading of gastric intestinal metaplasia (EGGIM). Methods: A multicenter prospective study (five centers: Portugal, Italy, Romania, UK, USA) was performed involving the systematic use of high resolution gastroscopes with image registry with and without NBI in a centralized informatics platform (available online). All users used the same NBI classification. Histologic result was considered the diagnostic gold standard. Results: A total of 238 patients and 1123 endoscopic biopsies were included. NBI globally increased diagnostic accuracy by 11 percentage points (NBI 94% vs. WLE 83%; P<0.001) with no difference in the identification of Helicobacter pylori gastritis (73% vs. 74%). NBI increased sensitivity for the diagnosis of intestinal metaplasia significantly (87% vs. 53%; P<0.001) and for the diagnosis of dysplasia (92% vs. 74%). The added benefit of NBI in terms of diagnostic accuracy was greater in OLGIM III/IV than in OLGIM I/II (25 percentage points vs. 15 percentage points, respectively; P<0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for EGGIM in the identification of extensive metaplasia was 0.98. Conclusions: In a real-time scenario, NBI demonstrates a high concordance with gastric histology, superior to WLE. Diagnostic accuracy higher than 90% suggests that routine use of NBI allows targeted instead of random biopsy samples. EGGIM also permits immediate grading of intestinal metaplasia without biopsies and merits further investigation.

Abstract
Many neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy, can significantly impair the motor function of the patients, often leading to a dramatic loss of their quality of life. Human motion analysis is regarded as fundamental towards an early diagnosis and enhanced follow-up in this type of diseases. In this contribution, we present NeuroKinect, a novel system designed for motion analysis in neurological diseases. This system includes an RGB-D camera (Microsoft Kinect) and two integrated software applications, KiT (KinecTracker) and KiMA (Kinect Motion Analyzer). The applications enable the preview, acquisition, review and management of data provided by the sensor, which are then used for motion analysis of relevant events. NeuroKinect is a portable, low-cost and markerless solution that is suitable for use in the clinical environment. Furthermore, it is able to provide quantitative support to the clinical assessment of different neurological diseases with movement impairments, as demonstrated by its usage in two different clinical routine scenarios: gait analysis in Parkinson's disease and seizure semiology analysis in epilepsy.

Abstract
Purpose - The importance of innovation as a generator of competitive advantage and the collaborative nature of this process are recurring themes in the literature. This paper aims to contribute to the improvement of knowledge about the relationship between supply chains and the innovation process by means of a systematic literature review. Methodology/approach - The method used consists of the identification, selection, analysis and synthesis of existing research on the subject and aims to ensure that the review is transparent, auditable and replicable. This paper presents the analysis of 94 papers from 37 journals and the major contributions are explored. Findings - The identification and analysis of relevant articles showed the complexity, timeliness and the wide-ranging character of the theme. The analysis of articles allowed the identification of facilitators of the innovation process, as well as five approaches applicable to supply chains to drive the innovation process. From these analyses, a model synthesising the main practices identified for improving innovation performance is presented. Research limitations/implications - When carrying out literature reviews, the selection of articles might be considered subjective. To circumvent this limitation, the papers have been assessed by three researchers. Practical implications - The results presented can be applied in the decision-making process by managers in the areas of innovation and supply chain. Originality/value - This paper synthesises knowledge involving the relationships between supply chains and the innovation process. The analysis is based on quantitative and qualitative criteria.

Abstract
This paper evaluates the flexibility provided by distributed energy resources (DER) in a real electricity distribution network in Germany. Using the Interval Constrained Power Flow (ICPF) tool, the maximum range of flexibility available at the primary substation was obtained for different operation scenarios. Three test cases were simulated, differing mainly in the considered level of renewable energy sources (RES) production. For each test case, the obtained results enabled the construction of flexibility areas that define, for a given operating point, the limits of feasible values for the active and reactive power that can be exchanged between the TSO and the DSO. Furthermore, the tool can also be used to evaluate the contribution from each type of DER to the overall distribution network flexibility.

Abstract
This paper describes the evaluation of a multi-hop wireless networking solution for Smart Grid metering in an industrial environment. The solution relies on RPL, 6LoWPAN, and IEEE 802.15.4g protocols, and has been implemented using low-power and low-capacity devices. Also, it supports both TCP and UDP protocols to transport traffic from DLMS/COSEM Smart Grid metering applications. The experimental tests took place in an industrial environment during 20 days. The obtained results allowed the characterization and evaluation of the developed solution and can be used as a basis to evaluate other 6LoWPAN/IEEE 802.15.4g networking solutions.

Abstract
The article presents the results of the study and comparison of innovation of Portuguese and Polish companies. For this research, the perspective is taken from innovation based in intangible factors, trying to measure, above all, the organizational culture of companies on innovation. The results state that Portuguese firms are less innovative than Polish ones. At the same time, in both countries manufacturing companies are more innovative than companies in the construction sector. In the case of Polish companies it was demonstrated that there was a relationship between the size and age of the innovation. The research results will be used to assess the culture of enterprises' innovation in other countries.
