Abstract:

ABSTRACT We study a corporate board tasked with monitoring a firm's CEO and providing incrementally decision-relevant information. The board has both compensation and non-pecuniary incentives—we label the latter board bias. Friendly boards have muted information gathering incentives, but can more effectively engage in cheap talk communication with management. As a result, the direction of the optimal board bias is determined by the CEO's initial information advantage: the board should be weakly friendly if the CEO is endowed with precise information, and weakly antagonistic (to the CEO) otherwise. Aside from assembling a friendly board, another way for shareholders to foster CEO/board communication is by granting the CEO more equity. In general, we find board friendliness and CEO equity grants to be positively associated, in equilibrium. This provides an optimal contracting rationale for an empirical regularity often interpreted as friendly boards facilitating rent extraction.

Abstract:

To the convenience of passenger travel, a kind of electronic bus stop boards system is discussed in this paper, which can be considered as intelligent equipment based on wireless communication technology. The combination between short-range wireless and long-distance communication module, together with the microcontroller composes the electronic bus stop boards system. The electronic bus stop boards system indicates the number of stations away from passengers’ station board on different nearest buses, current time and real-time humiture. The test results showed that the system could realize short-range and long-distance communication function and display the necessary information. With the advantages of high reliability and efficiency at low cost, the electronic bus stop boards system has more practical popularized value to replace traditional intelligent station boards with GPS and GPRS by cheap wireless communication module.

Abstract:

The main board of an Android smart-phone is one of the most important payload on PhoneSat. A modified Arduino board, which is based on AOA protocol, is used to connect the main board and the other boards. As there is no screen on the main board, there should not be any touch-screen operations in the communication between the Arduino board and the main board. In this paper, the mechanism of communication and management on PhoneSat is introduced firstly. Then a way to bypass the touch-screen operations in the communication between the main board and the Arduino board is shown. Finally an example about how to realize these two boards sending messages to each other is presented.

Abstract:

To reduce the cost of designing new specialized FPGA boards as direct-summation MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics) simulator, we propose a new heterogeneous architecture with existing FPGA boards, which is called RP-ring (reconfigurable processor ring). This design can be expanded conveniently with any available FPGA board and only requires quite low communication bandwidth between FPGA boards. The communication protocol is simple and can be implemented with limited hardware/software resources. In order to avoid overall performance loss caused by the slowest board, we build a mathematical model to decompose workload among FPGAs. The dividing of workload is based on the logic resource, memory access bandwidth, and communication bandwidth of each FPGA chip. Our accelerator can achieve two orders of magnitude speedup compared with CPU implementation.

Abstract:

Purpose Conversational topics chosen by a group of adults with degenerative cognitive-linguistic disorders for personalized communication board development were examined. The patient-generated themes commonly selected are presented to guide treatment planning and communication board development. Method Communication boards were created for 109 adults as part of a larger research project. One autobiographical topic that each participant would enjoy discussing multiple times was represented on each communication board with 16 pictures and word labels. For this review, topics were collapsed into general themes through a consensus process and examined by gender and age. Results Sixty unique conversational topics were identified from 109 participants and collapsed into 9 general themes: Hobbies, Family, Travel, Work, Home/Places I've Lived, Sports/Fitness, Religion, Animals, and World War II. Age and gender produced variations in themes chosen, though no significance in rank orders was found across groups. Conclusions Topics selected by adults with degenerative cognitive-linguistic disorders for communication boards resemble common conversational adult themes and do not center around basic needs or medical issues. Differences in gender and age for topic selection tend to be based on traditional roles. These general themes should be used when creating personalized communication boards for those who benefit from conversational aids.

Abstract:

The focal point of this study is to present the results of empirical research concerning operation of supervisory boards in the practice of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). The main subject of interest concerns two research areas: the character of the relationship between as well as the methods and tools employed in communications between a supervisory board and management. The research paper consists of theoretical concepts regarding the supervisory boards’ tasks and the relationship between a supervisory board and a management board. Moreover, another area of interests concerns legislative changes that, according to the author, have had a great influence on functioning of supervisory boards in the practice of WSE-listed companies. The conclusions presented in the paper have been formulated on the basis of a review of the literature, analysis of pertinent regulations, and a questionnaire survey of members of supervisory boards which was conducted in September, October and November 2011 (the data was obtained by means of postal surveys).

Abstract:

This paper deals with humanoid robot motor driver and sensor boards, whose communication systems are expensive to upgrade because they are implemented in both types of boards. Then, we must re-develop motor driver boards and sensor boards to change communication function. Function of communication with host computer is the very important function. However, it is hard to evaluate and compare methods of communication. So, we divide the function of motor driver to communication and driving motor. And we suggest the configuration of interchangeable communication system.

Abstract:

A quantitative analysis of usage in Computer-Mediated Conversation (CMC).While commentators as ‘early’ as 1984 were predicting that the “organizational, social, and personal effects of computers will be deeply felt”, they could only speculate on the strength of its impact. As this account was being written, at the end of 2001, the effects of Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC) were fast overtaking our poor ability to measure them. There are many ways to communicate through computers: Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, and message boards, which allow users to discuss specific topics with each other. (The term CMC allows for the possibility that some methods of communication, e.g., “chat rooms”, will not meet the definition of ‘mail’. The most popular method of CMC is e-mail. For those who have internet access, CMC is often their preferred choice of indirect (i.e., non face-to-face) communication, thanks to its speed, efficiency, and flexibility. Perhaps for these reasons, e-mail has already overtaken the telephone as the primary means of business communication.

Abstract:

Internet-based sport communication mediums represent a crucial area of scholarly inquiry for the field. The continuing growth in popularity of blogs, message boards, and other Internet-specific types of sport communication presents sport communication scholars with a plethora of avenues for research. This commentary examines one such avenue, through a survey administered to users on 14 college sport message boards. Survey results indicated that message-board users were primarily male (87.8%) and White (90.8%) and possessed at least an undergraduate degree (76.0%). In addition, 42.2% of users reported a household income of $100,000 or more per year. The analysis of the resulting demographic and usage data highlights some of the key aspects of this sample of users, including information relating to race, gender, income, education level, and salience of message-board use by both subscribers and nonsubscribers. These and other factors are presented as potential areas of future scholarly inquiry for sport communication researchers.

Abstract:

As we know that there is ever increasing demand for compact circuits and less complex wirings over the board, a technological boon evolved for such demand is Printed Circuit Board (PCB). A PCB will mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads. These boards will have minimal chances for short circuits, components on the board are fixed; another advantage is creation of multiple boards using single design. Taking this technology forward to our everyday life, we implemented analog communication laboratory circuit, Schmitt trigger.

Abstract:

Boards of directors of nonprofit charitable organizations have long been responsible for serving essential purposes and performing critical agency functions. Given these responsibilities, it seems reasonable to expect that a periodic review of a board’s capacity to effectively govern a nonprofit charitable organization be conducted. Using data collected from 800 individuals serving as board members of 42 different performing arts nonprofits, this study reports on board member evaluations of their individual and collective participation in the governance process through a self-assessment undertaken to inform decision-making and build capacity at both the board and organizational levels. Findings suggest the need for more (or better) training/orientation opportunities; focused, intentional, and tailored recruitment processes; clear communication, greater role clarity, and specificity regarding board performance expectations; greater understanding about best practices and the need to add value; and time to cultivate openness and collegiality among the board members and between the board and staff.

Abstract:

297 Background: Coordinating tumor boards is a complex resource intensive process. Nebraska Medicine has 16 oncology-based Tumor Boards weekly. Preparation included multiple emails between disciplines for each conference regarding case request, case reminders, agenda modification, final agendas and printing. Other tasks include recording of attendance, completion of staging sheets, tracking tumor board summaries, totaling cases presented, and completion of CoC summaries. A full time employee completed these tasks. Developing an efficient streamlined approach to managing tumor boards became critical. Methods: Standardized agenda templates and tumor board communication processes were created. Multiple email groups were developed per tumor board to allow for specificity and clarity for individuals within a targeted tumor group to reduce email traffic. Leveraged available technology within Microsoft Office 365 Suite at our organization. Microsoft Flow and SharePoint applications were selected to manage data information sharing and ease communication flow as well as provide immediate notification of agenda changes. SharePoint subsites were set up for each tumor board including: current agenda Excel file, archive agendas and summaries. Microsoft Flow turns repetitive tasks into multistep workflows. It makes decisions in workflow, running specific actions when certain conditions are met. Flow is used for automated emails for case requests, submission reminders, and final agendas to selected group of individuals including Imaging, Pathology, Physicians, Researchers and nurse. A condition was built in Flow for agenda modification. This auto-checks the agenda for updates and auto email notifies targeted individuals of updates. Results: Oncology Tumor Boards/Multi-Disciplinary Conference processes are automated with streamlined flow of communication, reduction in emails, better accommodation of late additions and greater number of patient presentations. This has improved patient care and reduction in employee time. Conclusions: Through exploration, collaboration and innovation, it is possible to automate tumor boards/MDC to create a seamless process, expand number of conferences and patient presentation while reducing resource utilization and staffing expense.

Abstract:

The organization of the educational process with the use of digital tools is a priority of a modern higher education institution. Such tools significantly increase the effectiveness of distance learning. Teachers must use a variety of digital tools to choose the most effective means, style and format of communication with students. Google Apps enables educators to integrate digital communication and collaboration technologies into their educational activities. Padlet is one of such innovative tools, which can be used for sharing information, images, audio or video files on virtual walls. The study outlines the use of an interactive Padlet board to support learning. The main advantages of this interactive resource are accessibility, multimedia, easiness, mobility, interactivity and creativity. Examples of possible options for using the interactive Padlet board in the organization of the educational process during the teaching of the discipline “MIT in the educational process” have been considered and given. These boards can be used to gather information, communicate, work together, solve problems, organize project activities. Interactive boards can be used at different stages of the lesson and for different purposes. Examples of using interactive boards before the lesson, for publishing tasks and guidelines for their implementation, for collaboration and communication, for presenting by students their own project results have been given.

Abstract:

This research-based essay examines the national diversity of editorial boards from a selection of journals in communication sciences. Specifically, it reviews the board composition of 39 Journal Citation Report journals indexed in quartile one (Q1) and quartile two (Q2) in the category of ‘communication’, proposing a typology of dominant nationalities. The most distinguished countries are the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany, monopolizing 79.4% of total members. The exaggerated domination of certain geographies is surprising given the increasing acknowledgement of plurality as a constitutive value of scientific progress. The article then problematizes why plurality is limited and, therefore, identifies a body of social and cultural bonds that underpin the domination of certain epistemic cultures. The study finally proposes an agenda that moves beyond the current status quo, and considers how these actions are likely to promote a more pluralistic and diverse intellectual terrain.

Abstract:

BackgroundIncreasing linguistic diversity has important implications for providers serving limited English proficiency (LEP) populations. LEP patients have decreased understanding, increased risk for adverse events, and lower healthcare satisfaction. Limited interpreting methods affect nurses’ ability to provide efficient, culturally competent care.ObjectiveAn interactive communication board was implemented to evaluate the perceived effectiveness of LEP patient communication and increase nurse satisfaction with communication in a pediatric ambulatory surgery center.MethodsA pre-post survey design evaluated the implementation of an interactive communication board. After a 3-month implementation period, post-surveys assessed nurse satisfaction, perception of time required to interpret nursing tasks, and feasibility of the tool.ResultsNurses reported a 64% increase (2.27 ± 0.88 pre; 3.57 ± 0.76 post; p = 0.0007) in satisfaction with the interpretation process and a 43% increase (2.07 ± 0.70 pre; 3.50 ± 0.76 post; p = 0.0001) in their self-perceived ability to communicate with LEP populations post-intervention.ConclusionCommunication boards and similar tools can improve nurse satisfaction and streamline the interpretation process in peri-operative periods.Implications for NursingSimilar tools could be implemented in other healthcare settings to increase communication efficiency between nurses and LEP populations. Further projects must be conducted to evaluate the experience and efficacy of this tool from the patient/caregiver perspective.

ABSTRACT Objective: To implement the use of alternative communication boards in patients hospitalized and unable to communicate by speech. Methods: A descriptive study with a sample of 30 patients hospitalized and unable to communicate by speech. Boards were made with Boardmaker® Software that consists of a graphical database containing Pictorial Communication Symbols. To assess the quality of life of these patients, the Portuguese SF-36, a translated version of the Medical Outcomes Study, was applied before and after the study. Results: We found that all domains of the SF-36 showed changes after the application of communication boards. We observed that the minimum score was assigned to the mental health domain, whereas the most affected and with greatest involvement and least compromise was the overall health status. Conclusion: The quality of life assessment of patients showed improvement with the use of communication boards, demonstrating the importance and necessity of communication between the patient and staff and the patient and family members.

Abstract:

Purpose of the article is to summarize the functionality of services for creating virtual boards and identify their didactic capabilities in the educational process. Methodology. The methods of analysis of scientific pedagogical literature of the problem of using virtual boards in the educational process; generalization and systematization of information of the didactic potential of Padlet, Jamboard, Miro, Stormboard, IDroo, Classroomscreen services; comparison of their advantages and disadvantages are used in the article. Results. It is shown that the in the context of the rapid development of information and communication technologies the use of virtual boards in the educational process is becoming increasingly popular. This is partly due to the fact that these visualization tools do not require a significant change in the pedagogical paradigm – the presentation of information is familiar, but adapted to the virtual environment. The virtual board should be considered as a new, promising and multifunctional service – a workspace, a "white sheet" for collaboration on creating and editing images and documents in real-time communication. In most cases, the functionality of services for creating virtual boards is similar, but there are really unique solutions. When choosing a service, educators should take into account the planned goal, the pedagogical position of successfully solving problems arising during distance learning, the peculiarities of the individual style of professional activity, their own preferences and experience in using information and communication technologies. Visual, informative and interactive are the main functions of using virtual boards. The didactic possibilities of using virtual boards are specified (summarizing the effectiveness of their functionality) in the article. Practical value. The theoretical and practical achievements presented in the article can be used by scientists who work upon the problems of pedagogical education; by pedagogical staff of postgraduate pedagogical education institutions, and by the teachers and methodologists in educational practice especially in the process of distance learning.

Abstract:

Aim. To develop and evaluate the implementation of a communication board for paramedics to use with patients as an augmentative or alternative communication tool to address communication needs of patients in the pre-hospital setting. Method. A double-sided A4-size communication board was designed specifically for use in the pre-hospital setting by the Queensland Ambulance Service and Disability and Community Care Services. One side of the board contains expressive messages that could be used by both the patient and paramedic. The other side contains messages to support patients’ understanding and interaction tips for the paramedic. The communication board was made available in every ambulance and patient transport vehicle in the Brisbane Region. Results. A total of 878 paramedics completed a survey that gauged which patient groups they might use the communication board with. The two most common groups were patients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and children. Staff reported feeling confident in using the board, and 72% of interviewed paramedics agreed that the communication board was useful for aiding communication with patients. Feedback from paramedics suggests that the board is simple to use, reduces patient frustration and improves communication. Conclusion. These results suggest that a communication board can be applied in the pre-hospital setting to support communication success with patients. What is known about the topic? It is imperative that communication between patient and paramedic is clear and effective. Research has shown that communication boards have been effective with people with temporary or permanent communication difficulties. What does this paper add? This is the first paper outlining the development and use of a communication board by paramedics in the pre-hospital setting in Australia. The paper details the design of the communication board for the unique pre-hospital environment. The paper provides some preliminary data on the use of the communication board with certain patient groups and its effectiveness as an alternative communication tool. What are the implications for practitioners? The findings support the use of the tool as a viable option in supporting the communication between paramedics and a range of patients. It is not suggested that this communication board will meet the complete communication needs of any individual in this environment, but it is hoped that the board’s presence within the Queensland Ambulance Service may result in paramedics introducing the board on occasions where communication with a patient is challenging.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Current models governing how boards of medicine regulate the practice of medicine rely heavily on concepts from the past. Changes in our understanding of how medical errors occur, as well as in the organization and delivery of health care, have created challenges for boards when addressing medical errors. We conducted a qualitative study to explore the principles that boards use to respond to medical errors and to identify opportunities for improvement. Twenty key informant interviews were conducted with board members and staff, followed by two focus group discussions with 16 participants who actively participate in the process of medical regulation. Our results show that the major principles guiding boards of medicine in regulation around medical errors include fairness, consistency, efficiency and transparency. Implementation of these principles proved difficult, partly because of boards’ lack of authority over health care institutions. We recommend the development of a broader array of tools for boards to use in response to medical errors. Increased efforts are also needed to strengthen communication and collaboration among boards, physicians and health care organizations. Additionally, we suggest that boards implement and report performance metrics to promote public engagement and enhance trust in them.

Abstract:

Typical hospital emergency departments (ED) use patient status boards as information tracking devices for providing safe care by supporting shared memory, latent processes, collaboration, shared cognition, communication and coordination. Traditionally, status boards are large, manually updated dry erase “whiteboards.” Though electronic patient tracking technologies are fast replacing manual status boards, significant questions remain regarding the design of these technologies and the manner in which they impact ED work. This paper describes part of a study which is documenting the transition from a manual status board to electronic technology in two different emergency departments. The impact of technology implementation on existing work practices, and insights on design of information technology for safety critical healthcare system are described.

Abstract:

Abstract A multichannel high-speed data acquisition system based on improved SPI communication is designed to meet the requirements of synchronous acquisition of current and voltage parameters by master and slave control boards. The main architecture of this system is a master-slave FPGA board and AD acquisition card, and the program is developed based on the Vivado platform. Based on traditional SPI communication, this paper puts forward an improved SPI communication. By increasing the number of MISO data lines, the data transmission rate between master and slave control boards is greatly increased, and the FPGA expansion port resources are fully utilized. In addition, a data conversion module is added to the system, which can observe the acquisition results more intuitively. At the same time as high-speed data acquisition, the measurement accuracy within the specified voltage input range is high. The experimental results show that the system can realize multichannel high-speed data acquisition.

Abstract:

Background: Aphasia is a language disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate and Inability to produce language, pronounce the sentences and Inability to speak spontaneously. Communication has always been a primary need of human beings. Communication boards generally include the letters of the alphabet, common words or phrases and pictures of common items and/or actions.Methods: The pre experimental design was used in the study and 30 aphasic patients were selected through non probability purposive sampling technique. Observational rating scale was used to evaluate the communication pattern of aphasic patients. Data was analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: In pretest majority of aphasic patients that is 90% have poor communication pattern and 10% of aphasic patients have moderate communication pattern. In posttest 46.7% aphasic patients were having good communication pattern 43.3% were having moderate communication pattern and 10% were having poor communication pattern. The mean±SD in pretest was 1.1000±0.30513 and for posttest was 2.3667±0.66868 and having mean difference of -1.26667. The p value was significant as p<0.05. There was no association between age, gender, religion, educational status and occupation at 0.05 level of significance.Conclusions: This study concludes that the communication board was effective in significant improvement of communication pattern in posttest. The improvement in communication pattern will help to facilitate communication among aphasic patients. Thus current study encourages the utilization of communication board among aphasic patients to enhance their communication pattern.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTChildren using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) picture boards often produce sequences of symbols that do not reflect the grammatical structure of the language spoken in their environment. These irregularities may reflect an incomplete or incorrect representation of linguistic structure. Alternatively, they may simply be the result of constraints on the communication mode itself. This study examined constituent order and deletion in picture board communication in children who are known to have intact linguistic knowledge (i.e., normally developing native speakers of English). The results suggest that English syntactic knowledge is not automatically applied to picture board communication. Additional skills may be required to transpose linguistic knowledge into the visual-graphic modality used in AAC systems. Moreover, the regularity of non-English responses suggests that there is a bias for specific structures in visual communication systems.

Abstract:

Abstract Interconnect properties position superconducting digital circuits to build large, high performance, power efficient digital systems. We report a board-to-board communication data link, which is a critical technological component that has not yet been addressed. Synchronous communication on chip and between chips mounted on a common board is enabled by the superconducting resonant clock/power network for Reciprocal Quantum Logic circuits. The data link is extended to board-to-board communication using isochronous communication, where there is a common frequency between boards but the relative phase is unknown. Our link uses over-sampling and configurable delay at the receiver to synchronize to the local clock phase. A single-bit isochronous data link has been demonstrated on-chip through a transmission line, and on a multi-chip module through a superconducting tape between driver and receiver with variable phase offset. Measured results demonstrated correct functionality with a clock margin of 3 dB at 3.6 GHz, and with 5 fJ bit−1 at 4.2 K.

Abstract:

Our aim is to design a conceptual model illustrating the impact of corporate boards on corporate social responsibility (CSR). Scholars and researchers from various disciplines have all pointed out the increasing importance of CSR as a corporate strategy, and the question of how to manage the corporate attention allocation to CSR issues has shown its values in the field of CSR and corporate governance. The paper first presents the argument of applying a four-category variable, CSR responsiveness, to measure CSR: non-action, symbolic action, compliance, and proactivity. We believe corporate boards influence CSR responsiveness both directly and indirectly. Directly, active board involvement in performing control, strategy, and service tasks could enhance CSR responsiveness. Indirectly, through board attention structures supported by the attention-based view, we have detailed the impact of the boards of directors on attention allocation. They include the characteristics of directors, the communication style of CSR issues, and external and internal environmental forces. We also discuss the implication of the model to conclude.

Abstract:

<span>In the developed system ARM9 is a master and Two ARM7s are slaves. The peripherals are being controlled by two ARM7 boards. The Peripherals are connected to the ARM7 through Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD). The CPLD is in turn connected to the ARM7 using Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). The ARM7 boards collect the information from the peripherals and send it to the ARM9 board. The communication between ARM7 and ARM9 is via UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) over CAN (Controller Area Network). The ARM9 board has got the software intelligence. The ARM9 behaves as a master and two ARM7 boards behave as slaves. Being master ARM9 passes tokens to ARM7 which in turn returns (Acknowledges) the token. The ARM9 is further connected to Proxy via Ethernet. The proxy is further connected to the service platform (server) via Ethernet. So subsequently any decisions at any stage can be changed at server level. Further these commands can be passed on to ARM9 which in turn controls the peripherals through ARM7. (a) The system which we have developed consists of ARM9 as a master, Two ARM7 as Slaves. The communication between ARM9-ARM7 is via UART over a CAN, <br /> (b) Each ARM7 further communicates serially (RS232) with the two 8051 Microcontroller nodes, (c)Thus a networked Embedded System is developed wherein the serial data is brought over Ethernet. The ARM7 board, which is directly linked with the peripherals, can be modified of its functionality as and when required. The functionality of ARM7 can be modified by upgrading its firmware. To upgrade the firmware same communication link has been used. ARM7 receives the new firmware via same ARM9-ARM7 communication link. The Flash Write operation is performed using the source code to write the new firmware. Bootloader application for the ARM7 has been developed. The signature has been incorporated to assure authenticity of the new Firmware. Intel Hex File Format is used to parse the hex file.</span>

Full text

Abstract:

Nowadays, companies and markets are increasingly international and growing numbers of stakeholders are affected by the economic, social and environmental aspects of business, resulting in significant changes in how corporate information is both perceived and published. Over the last few years, this new scenario has led to many company boards voluntarily adopting an accounting and company performance communication tool, known as Integrated Reporting, (IR) which is a single disclosure document that satisfies stakeholders' increasing need for communication. This study's objective is to contribute to existing literature on the relationship between financial reporting and corporate governance, investigating into whether certain characteristics of the board - including numbers, gender, nationality, average age - influence decisions to adopt IR or not. The analysis was carried out on a sample of 120 Italian companies in different sectors for the year 2014. These results showed a positive relationship between the decision to use IR and the size of the board and the presence of female boardmembers, whereas the presence of foreign and older boardmembers had a negative effect on adopting IR.

Abstract:

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have grown rapidly, becoming an integral part of today’s society and affecting how daily activities are conducted worldwide. They have transformed the education landscape and today’s classrooms have evolved from traditional blackboards to whiteboards and then to smart boards. The smart board technology (SBT) is considered one of the innovative teaching and learning technologies for different levels in education. However, the challenge is the low adoption of the SBT in teaching and learning environments by educators, particularly in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the adoption of smart board technology. Using an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, a quantitative, cross-sectional survey was utilised to gather data from 224 academics from a South African university. Findings revealed that the adoption of smart board technology at the university is low and smart board features are inadequately used. Additionally, results showed that social influence and attitude toward using technology were significantly the key factors affecting users’ intentions to adopt smart boards. Facilitating conditions had a very strong statistically significant effect on users’ behaviour to use smart boards.

Abstract:

PURPOSE The complexity of lung cancer treatment is rapidly increasing, necessitating the use of multidisciplinary approaches for improving outcomes. Although it is common for institutions to have their own tumor boards, tumor boards connecting several general hospitals, and therefore allowing for more diverse opinions, are not prevalent. MATERIALS AND METHODS A tumor board connecting eight hospitals was formed to discuss patients for whom formulating a treatment strategy was difficult. Physicians and hospital staff accessed a high-security communication line via LiveOn ( Japan Media Systems Corporation, Tokyo, Japan), which is completely isolated from the Internet and password protected, that enables each hospital to share the electronic medical records and images of relevant patients at other hospitals on desktop computers in real time. The lung cancer tumor board began in April 2017 and has since been held every Tuesday evening for 1 hour. Preparatory records containing the age, sex, histology, TNM classification, background, and discussion points for each patient are created before each tumor board meeting. After the tumor board discussion, all conclusions and related articles used in the board are added to the minutes, which are finalized as Microsoft Word files, consolidated, and archived. These files can be retrieved later using key words. RESULTS From April 2017 to June 2018, 202 patients were discussed. Although TNM classification was not changed for any patient, diverse opinions led to a change in the proposed strategy for 49 of 202 patients. CONCLUSION The multidisciplinary tumor board was useful in obtaining various opinions from the perspectives of different experts. This should be evaluated in a prospective study.

Abstract:

Objectives: People with complex communication needs who have intact literacy skills such as individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis may require a complementary approach by using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools that allow them to communicate only with eye movements. To provide empirical evidence on letter-based AAC intervention for adults with severely limited physical movement, this study examined message production ability in two eye-gazed selection conditions by using the Eyelink board and the E-Tran board.Methods: Forty healthy young adults participated in this study. They completed the message production task by using the Eyelink board and the E-Tran board for the same target messages. Task performance was analyzed by measuring the accuracy scores and response times.Results: When participants used the Eyelink board, the accuracy scores were significantly higher than that of the E-Tran board. They also showed a significantly shorter response time with the Eyelink board. The preference survey showed that the Eyelink board scored high.Conclusion: This study has clinical implications showing that the Eyelink board is a more accurate and efficient way as an eye-gaze low-tech AAC system for people with severely impaired physical movement compared with the E-Tran board. Based on these results, clinical support and training need to be provided to help them use the boards in their daily life with their communication partners.

Faculty, departments, and colleges are being pressured by state legislatures, boards of trustees, and re-accreditation organizations to assess themselves and their prod uct aggressively. Assessment may deal with demographics, such as number of stu dents per class; perceived quality, such as the nurnber of publications by faculty; or by outcomes, such as who hires the graduates and how well the graduates per form. External advisors are helpful in conducting such evaluations. One such group is an alumni advisory board, which can be established and operate with min imal effort and cost, yet can yield many benefits. The Alumni Board of the Infor mation and Decision Systems Department at San Diego State includes recent graduates nominated by faculty, is targeted at about 75 members, and is queried several times a year on issues related to curriculum, new topics of interest to the classroom, and job trends.

Abstract:

IntroductionA key contributor to underimmunisation is parental refusal or delay of vaccines due to vaccine concerns. Many clinicians lack confidence in communicating with vaccine-hesitant parents (VHP) and perceive that their discussions will do little to change parents’ minds. Improving clinician communication with VHPs is critical to increasing childhood vaccine uptake.Methods and analysisWe describe the protocol for a cluster randomised controlled trial to test the impact of a novel, multifaceted clinician vaccine communication strategy on child immunisation status. The trial will be conducted in 24 primary care practices in two US states (Washington and Colorado). The strategy is called Presumptively Initiating Vaccines and Optimizing Talk with Motivational Interviewing (PIVOT with MI), and involves clinicians initiating the vaccine conversation with all parents of young children using the presumptive format, and among those parents who resist vaccines, pivoting to using MI. Our primary outcome is the immunisation status of children of VHPs at 19 months, 0 day of age expressed as the percentage of days underimmunised from birth to 19 months for 22 doses of eight vaccines recommended during this interval. Secondary outcomes include clinician experience communicating with VHPs, parent visit experience and clinician adherence to the PIVOT with MI communication strategy.Ethics and disseminationThis study is approved by the following institutional review boards: Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board, Washington State Institutional Review Board and Swedish Health Services Institutional Review Board. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed manuscripts and conference presentations.Trial registration numberNCT03885232.
