Abstract This Counterpoint cautions that future making research treats the future too simplistically and fails to acknowledge the fundamental uncertainty inherent in all futures work. First, future making scholarship overlooks existing academic research, in which similar concerns have been pursued, empirically and conceptually, for years. Second, utopian futures are considered achievable if only actors have a vision of what they wish to create. Finally, most future making statements around grand challenges rely on…

Abstract Background The dramatic improvement in the survival of multiple myeloma (MM) patients has led to an increased emphasis on their QoL, which unfortunately has been evaluated with tools that are inadequate and outdated. Traditional patient reported outcomes (PRO) methods are episodic, burdensome, and rarely integrated into actionable workflows. mQOL (www.mqol.com) addresses this shortcoming through a HIPAA-compliant, SMS-based remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) platform on a smartphone, delivering personali…

We present a novel approach which extends the existing Fully Convolutional One-Stage Object Detector (FCOS) for mitotic figure detection. Our composite model adds a Feedback Attention Ladder CNN (FAL-CNN) model for classification of normal versus abnormal mitotic figures, feeding into a fusion network that is trained to generate adjustments to bounding boxes predicted by FCOS. Our network aims to reduce the false positive rate of the FCOS object detector, to improve the accuracy of object detection and enhance the…

Contributing to the ‘relational turn’ within organization and management studies, we deepen authority studies’ handling of relationality by utilizing a communication as constitutive of organization lens to advance a novel understanding of authority’s simultaneously enduring and fleeting nature. We introduce the concept of eponymic claims to shift relational readings of authority from questions of presence or absence to those of ventriloquial weight . Our theorizing derives from an ethnography of an eponymous cosme…
