Abstract:
In questo lavoro ci proponiamo di analizzare alcune tipologie di errori lessicali commessi da studenti egiziani di italiano LS evidenziando le strategie da essi adottate per colmare le lacune lessicali. Questo studio si basa sull’analisi di composizioni scritte di 60 studenti egiziani iscritti al secondo anno del corso di laurea in italiano presso la Facoltà di Al Alsun. L’analisi ha rivelato che gli errori lessicali sono il tipo di errore più grave e frequente comprovando che se un messaggio presenta molti errori lessicali ha una scarsa efficacia comunicativa, poiché tali errori sono noti elementi di disturbo della comunicazione. L’analisi degli errori lessicali ha rivelato che tra le strategie messe in atto dagli apprendenti nella costruzione dello spazio lessicale-semantico sono i genericismi, l’estensione semantica, l’uso improprio di termini, le perifrasi, i prestiti lessicali e i calchi. Analysis of the Most Frequent lexical Errors in the Italian of Egyptian Students In this paper, we aim to analyse some types of lexical errors committed by Egyptian Italian LS students by highlighting the strategies they adopted to fill the lexical gaps. This study is based on the analysis of written compositions of 60 Egyptian students enrolled in the second year of the Italian degree course at Al Alsun Faculty. The analysis revealed that lexical errors are the most serious and frequent type of error, proving that if a message has many lexical errors, it has poor communicative effectiveness, as such errors are known communication disruptors. The analysis of lexical errors revealed that among the strategies implemented by learners in the construction of the lexical-semantic space are genericisms, semantic extension, misuse of terms, periphrases, lexical borrowings and casts.

Abstract:
Propongo un catálogo para los errores que puedan encontrarse al realizar el proceso de traducción algebraico. El catálogo consta de tres categorías: errores en el uso de letras, errores en la construcción de expresiones algebraicas y errores en la construcción de la igualdad. Constaté la validez del catálogo con las igualdades incorrectas producidas por 258 estudiantes de bachillerato que trabajaron 13 problemas. Encontré que las producciones persistentes dan cuenta de una parte sustantiva del error total y que estas producciones contienen errores de las categorías antes citadas. Además, determinados errores se podrían asociar con tipos de problemas. Incorrect equalities developed in the algebraic translation process: a catalog of errors We propose a catalogue for errors that can be found in the process of algebraic translation. This catalogue consists of three categories: errors in the use of letters, errors in the construction of algebraic expressions and errors in the construction of the equal sign between two algebraic expressions. We contrasted the utility of the catalogue with the incorrect equalities produced by 258 students aged between 15 and 18. Finally, we found that a great part of the total error can be explained by means of persistent productions in which we can find errors belonging to the three categories of the catalogue. Furthermore, it is possible to conclude that some kinds of errors were related to specific types of problems.Handle: http://hdl.handle.net/10481/3499Nº de citas en WOS (2017): 7 (Citas de 2º orden, 9)Nº de citas en SCOPUS (2017): 3 (Citas de 2º orden, 4)

Abstract:
This study aims at finding out Communicative Effect Taxonomy in students oral productionspecifically on local and global errors. This study is qualitative in nature involving 16 first grader at SMPN 2 Muara Tiga, Pidie. The instrument used was analytical table which was constructed based on the theory of Communicative Effect Taxonomy. The data collection was carried out by following the steps of: sample collection, errors identification, error description, error clarification, and error assessment. The data analysis was conducted afterward in line with the following phases: identification of errors, classification of errors, evaluation, and conclusion. It is found that local erros were produced more compared to global errors (52 local errors and 45 global errors) in the students speaking performance. Regarding the implication, the result from this study can enhance the development of more accurate and dependable evaluation tools for measuring students' oral communication skills by establishing a classification system for communicative impacts. Consequently, this can exert a substantial influence on educational policies and practices.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to examine the contributory factors in drug errors and their reporting so as to design an enhanced reporting scheme to improve the quality of reporting in an acute hospital trust. The related research questions are: 1. What are the contributory factors in drug errors? 2. How effective is the reporting of drug errors? 3. Can an enhanced reporting scheme, predicated on the analysis of local documentary and interview data, identify the contributory factors in drug errors and improve the quality of their reporting in an acute hospital trust? The study aim and research questions reflect a growing consensus, articulated by Boaden and Walshe (2006), that patient safety research should focus on understanding the causes of adverse events and developing interventions to improve safety. Although there are concerns about the value of incident reporting (Wald & Shojania 2003, Armitage & Chapman 2007), it would appear that error reporting systems remain a high priority in advancing patient safety (Kohn et al 2000, Department of Health 2000a, National Patient Safety Agency 2004, WHO & World Alliance for Patient Safety 2004), and consequently it is the area chosen for intervention in this study. Enhancement of the existing scheme is based on a greater understanding of drug errors, their causation, and their reporting.

Abstract:
Notwithstanding the innovative changes in biotechnology, medical devices and other therapeutics, errors in medicine continue to cause harm to patients. Current definitions of medical error do not reflect the full reality of error causation. Medical error taxonomy is narrowly focused on system weaknesses in health institutions and human error. System weaknesses in licensing and monitoring organizations, health care suppliers, health profession self-regulation and government regulating organizations, conduct by leading health professionals and medical research industry risks, all lead to significant harm that is not recognized in medical error accountability. These players do not fulfill their mandates. Evidence demonstrates negligence, incompetence, unethical conduct and institutional interest and self-interest in the decision-making process. Both the principled approach and institutional ethics (IE) principles are powerful tools to require accountability from stakeholders. The contemporary understanding of medical errors is deficient and unsustainable. It has not contributed to a decrease in errors. Appropriate definitions of the confines of systems weaknesses and human error are required. This thesis outlines a method to perceive medical errors in a broader way, combining the many agents of error/harm into one system, thereby highlighting accountability and paving the way for reform.
Malgré les changements innovateurs dans la biotechnologie, l'équipement médical et d'autres approches thérapeutiques, les erreurs dans la pratique de la médecine continuent à provoquer des problèmes médicaux pour un nombre important de patients. Les définitions actuelles d'erreurs médicales ne reflètent pas la réalité complète de la causalité d'erreurs. La taxinomie d'erreurs médicale est aussi strictement concentrée sur les faiblesses du système dans les institutions de santé et l'erreur humaine. Les faiblesses des systèmes qui autorisent et contrôlent les organisations, les fournisseurs de santé publique, les règlements des professions de la santé, les organismes de règlements gouvernemental des professions de la santé et la conduite des professionnels de la santé, et les risques de l'industrie de recherche médicale, tous causent des problèmes importants qui ne sont pas actuellement explicitement reconnu pour leur responsabilité d'erreurs médicales. Ces joueurs ne réalisent pas leurs autorité actuelle. L'évidence démontre de la négligence, de l'incompétence, d'une conduite non étique, d'un intérêt institutionnel et d'un intérêt personnel dans le processus de prise de décision par ces instances. C'est-à-dire, l'approche du principe que les principes de l'éthique institutionnelle sont des instruments puissants pour contraindre la responsabilité de tous les joueurs. La vision contemporaine des erreurs médicales est déficiente et non durable. Une telle vision est déficiente et non supportable. Elle n'a pas contribué à la réduction d'erreurs médicales. Une formulation sur les définitions nécessaires des limitations des systèmes liés à l'être humain est nécessaire. La proposition de cette thèse expose une façon de percevoir les erreurs médicales dans le but de rejoindre les nombreux agents d'erreur et de mal dans un système en mettant ainsi l'emphase sur la responsabilité, et ainsi ouvrant la voie à la réforme.

Abstract:
From the first integrated circuit which has 16-transistor chip built by Heiman and Steven Hofstein in 1962 to the latest 39.54 billion MOSFET’s using 7nm FinFET technology as of 2019 the scaling of transistors is still challenging. The scaling always needs to satisfy the minimal power constraint, minimal area constraint and high speed as possible. As of 2020, the worlds smallest transistor is 1nm long build by a team at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Looking at the latest trends of 14nm, 7nm technologies present where a single die holds more than a billion transistors on it. Thinking of it, it is more challenging for dyeing a 1nm technology. The scaling keeps going on and if silicon does not satisfy the requirement, they switch to carbon nanotubes and molybdenum disulfide or some newer materials. The transistor sizing is reducing but the pressure of radiation effects on transistor is in quench of more and more efficient circuits to tolerate errors. The radiation errors which are of higher voltage are capable of hitting a node and flipping its value. However, it is not possible to have a perfect material to satisfy no error requirement for a circuit. But it is possible to maintain the value before causing the error and retain the value even after occurrence of the error. In the advanced technologies due to transistor scaling multiple simultaneous radiation induced errors are the issue. Different latch designs are proposed to fix this problem. Using the CMOS 90nm technology different latch designs are proposed which will recover the value even after the error strikes the latch. Initially the errors are generally Single event upsets (SEUs) which when the high radiation particle strikes only one transistor. Since the era of scaling, the multiple simultaneous radiation errors are common. The general errors are Double Node Upset (DNU) which occurs when the high radiation particle strikes the two transistors due to replacing one transistor by more than one after scaling. Existing designs of SEUs and DNUs accurately determine the error rates in a circuit. However, with reference to the dissertation of Dr. Adam Watkins, proposed HRDNUT latch in the paper “Analysis and mitigation of multiple radiation induced errors in modern circuits”, the circuits can retain its error value in 2.13ps. Two circuits are introduced to increase the speed in retaining the error value after the high energy particle strikes the node. Upon the evaluation of the past designs how the error is introduced inside the circuit is not clear. Some designs used a pass gate to actually introduce the error logic value but not in terms of voltage. The current thesis introduces a method to introduce error with reduced power and delay overhead compared to the previous circuits. Introducing the error in the circuits from the literature survey and comparing the delay and power with and without introducing the error is shown. Introducing the errors in the two new circuits are also shown and compared with when no errors are injected.

RESUMO - O problema do erro de medicação tem vindo a adquirir uma importância e um interesse crescentes nos últimos anos. As consequências directas no doente que condicionam frequentemente o prolongamento do internamento, a necessidade de utilização adicional de recursos e a diminuição de satisfação por parte dos doentes, são alguns dos aspectos que importa analisar no sentido de se aumentar a segurança do doente. No circuito do medicamento em meio hospitalar estão envolvidos diversos profissionais, estando o enfermeiro no final da cadeia quando administra a medicação ao doente. Na bibliografia internacional, são referidas incidências elevadas de eventos adversos relacionados com o medicamento. Em Portugal, não existem estudos disponíveis que nos permitam conhecer, nem o tipo de incidentes, nem a dimensão do problema do erro de medicação. Efectuamos um estudo descritivo, prospectivo, exploratório, utilizando a técnica de observação não participante, da administração de medicamentos. Os objectivos são, por um lado, determinar a frequência de incidentes na administração de medicação num Serviço de Medicina Interna e, por outro, caracterizar o tipo de incidentes na administração da medicação e identificar as suas possíveis causas. A população em estudo foi constituída pelos enfermeiros que administraram medicamentos aos doentes internados no Serviço de Medicina Interna seleccionado, durante os meses de junho a agosto de 2012, sendo observadas 1521 administrações. Foi utilizada uma grelha de observação, que incluiu os seguintes elementos: doente certo; medicamento certo; dose certa; hora certa; via certa; técnica de administração correcta (assépsia); tempo de infusão; monitorização correcta. Constatou-se que em 43% das doses administradas apresentavam pelo menos um erro, num total de 764 erros. Não foi observado nenhum erro de doente, de medicamento, de dose extra, de via, de forma farmacêutica, nem a administração de medicamento não prescrito. Detectaram-se 0,19% de erros na preparação, 0,72% de erros de dose, 1,7% erros de omissão, 1,97% de erros de administração, 13,52% de erros de monitorização, 28,73% de erros de v horário. O tempo de infusão da terapêutica parentérica não foi cumprida em 27,69% das oportunidades, tendo sido sempre administrado em tempo inferior ao preconizado. Não encontramos relação entre as interrupções durante a administração de terapêutica e os erros. Pelo contrário constatou-se haver relação entre o número de doses com erro e o turno em que ocorreram, sendo mais frequentes no turno da noite. Constatamos também que aos fins de semana os erros eram mais frequentes e o risco da ocorrência de um erro na administração de medicação aumenta 1,5 vezes quando o número de enfermeiros é insuficiente.
ABSTRACT - The problem of medication error has developed a growing interest and importance in recent years. The direct consequences to the patient, that often affect the prolongation of hospitalization, the need for additional resources and the decrease of satisfaction from the patients are some of the aspects that matter to analyze in order to increase patient safety. In the drugs circuit in a hospital environment, several professionals are involved, and nurses are at the end of the string as far as administering medication to patients is concerned. International bibliography refers high incidences of adverse events related to drugs. In Portugal, there are no available studies that let us know either the type of incidents, or the extent of the medication error issue. We conducted a prospective, descriptive, exploratory survey, using the technique of a non-participant observation of the administration of drugs, using the technique of non-participant observation, administration of medications. We aimed to determine the frequency of in medication administration incidents within the internal medicine department and, on the other hand, to depict the type of incidents which occurred in the administration of medication and identify their possible causes. The population under study was constituted by the nurses who administered medicines to patients hospitalized in the internal medicine department from June to August 2012, and 1521 administrations were observed. The following observation grid was used: right patient; right drug; right dose; right time; right route; right administration technique; asepsis, infusion time and correct monitoring. We found that in 43% of the doses administered there was at least one error, leading to a total of 764 errors. No patient, medication, extra dose, route, pharmaceutical form, administration of not prescribed medication errors were observed. 0.19% were errors in preparation, 0.72% dose errors, 1.7% errors of omission, 1.97% of wrong administration technique, 13.52% monitoring errors, 28.73% of wrong time. The infusion time of parenteral therapy has not been met vii in 27.69% of opportunities, having always been administered ahead of the recommended time. We found no relation between interruptions during the administration of therapy and errors. On the contrary, there is a relation between the number of doses with error and shifts occurred, being more frequent in night shifts. We also noted that errors were more frequent on weekends and that the risk of the occurrence of an error in the administration of medication increases 1.5 times when the number of nurses is scarce.

Abstract:
Medication errors are a significant global concern and can cause serious medical consequences in children. Double checking of medicines by two nurses is one strategy used by many children's hospitals to prevent errors from reaching paediatric patients. This thesis involves different studies that evaluated the effectiveness of the double checking process in reducing and preventing medication administration errors in a children's hospital. In addition, a systematic review was conducted of medication errors studies in the Middle East. A systematic review was also conducted of published studies of double checking. Six electronic databases were searched for articles that assessed the double checking process during the administration of medicines. Sixteen articles were identified. Only one of them was a randomised controlled clinical trial in a clinical setting. Only one study was conducted in a children's hospital. The review found that there is insufficient evidence to either support or refute the practice of double checking and more clinical trials are needed to evaluate the double checking process in children's hospitals. Based on the findings that were highlighted from the systematic review, a prospective observational study of paediatric nurses using the double checking process for medication administration was undertaken. The study aimed to evaluate how closely double checking policies are followed by nurses in different paediatric areas, and also to identify any. medication administration errors during the study period. 2,000 drug dose administration events were observed. There was variation between paediatric nurses adherence to double checking steps and different medication administration errors were identified. Based on the observational study, a semi-structured questionnaire study was developed. It was designed to explore the paediatric nurses' knowledge and opinions about the double checking process. The study showed that many nurses have insufficient knowledge on the double checking process and the hospital policy for medication administration. A simulation study was conducted to examine whether single or double checking is more effective in detecting and reducing medication errors in children. Each participant in this study was required to prepare and administer medicines in scenarios for two "dummy patients" either with another nurse (double checking) or alone (single checking). Different confounders were built into each scenario (prescribing and administration) for nurses to identify and address during the administration process. Errors in drug preparation, administration and failure to address confounders were observed and documented. The main findings from this study were that the double checking process is more likely to identify medication administration errors and contraindicated drugs than single checking. The time taken for drug administration was similar for both processes. Another systematic review was conducted to identify the published medication errors studies that have been undertaken in the Middle East. The review identified 45 studies from 10 Middle Eastern countries. Nine of the studies focused on medication errors in paediatric patients. Educational programmes on drug therapy for doctors and nurses are urgently needed in the Middle East. These studies have contributed to the field of medication safety by providing more information about double and single checking medication administration processes in paediatric hospitals. More educational and training programmes for nurses about the importance of double checking and improving their adherence rate to the double checking steps during medication administration are required to improve its effectiveness.

Abstract:
Objectives. Diagnostic errors are a known patient safety concern across all clinical settings, including the emergency department (ED). We conducted a systematic review to determine the most frequent diseases and clinical presentations associated with diagnostic errors (and resulting harms) in the ED, measure error and harm frequency, as well as assess causal factors. Methods. We searched PubMed®, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL®), and Embase® from January 2000 through September 2021. We included research studies and targeted grey literature reporting diagnostic errors or misdiagnosis-related harms in EDs in the United States or other developed countries with ED care deemed comparable by a technical expert panel. We applied standard definitions for diagnostic errors, misdiagnosis-related harms (adverse events), and serious harms (permanent disability or death). Preventability was determined by original study authors or differences in harms across groups. Two reviewers independently screened search results for eligibility; serially extracted data regarding common diseases, error/harm rates, and causes/risk factors; and independently assessed risk of bias of included studies. We synthesized results for each question and extrapolated U.S. estimates. We present 95 percent confidence intervals (CIs) or plausible range (PR) bounds, as appropriate. Results. We identified 19,127 citations and included 279 studies. The top 15 clinical conditions associated with serious misdiagnosis-related harms (accounting for 68% [95% CI 66 to 71] of serious harms) were (1) stroke, (2) myocardial infarction, (3) aortic aneurysm and dissection, (4) spinal cord compression and injury, (5) venous thromboembolism, (6/7 – tie) meningitis and encephalitis, (6/7 – tie) sepsis, (8) lung cancer, (9) traumatic brain injury and traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, (10) arterial thromboembolism, (11) spinal and intracranial abscess, (12) cardiac arrhythmia, (13) pneumonia, (14) gastrointestinal perforation and rupture, and (15) intestinal obstruction. Average disease-specific error rates ranged from 1.5 percent (myocardial infarction) to 56 percent (spinal abscess), with additional variation by clinical presentation (e.g., missed stroke average 17%, but 4% for weakness and 40% for dizziness/vertigo). There was also wide, superimposed variation by hospital (e.g., missed myocardial infarction 0% to 29% across hospitals within a single study). An estimated 5.7 percent (95% CI 4.4 to 7.1) of all ED visits had at least one diagnostic error. Estimated preventable adverse event rates were as follows: any harm severity (2.0%, 95% CI 1.0 to 3.6), any serious harms (0.3%, PR 0.1 to 0.7), and deaths (0.2%, PR 0.1 to 0.4). While most disease-specific error rates derived from mainly U.S.-based studies, overall error and harm rates were derived from three prospective studies conducted outside the United States (in Canada, Spain, and Switzerland, with combined n=1,758). If overall rates are generalizable to all U.S. ED visits (130 million, 95% CI 116 to 144), this would translate to 7.4 million (PR 5.1 to 10.2) ED diagnostic errors annually; 2.6 million (PR 1.1 to 5.2) diagnostic adverse events with preventable harms; and 371,000 (PR 142,000 to 909,000) serious misdiagnosis-related harms, including more than 100,000 permanent, high-severity disabilities and 250,000 deaths. Although errors were often multifactorial, 89 percent (95% CI 88 to 90) of diagnostic error malpractice claims involved failures of clinical decision-making or judgment, regardless of the underlying disease present. Key process failures were errors in diagnostic assessment, test ordering, and test interpretation. Most often these were attributed to inadequate knowledge, skills, or reasoning, particularly in “atypical” or otherwise subtle case presentations. Limitations included use of malpractice claims and incident reports for distribution of diseases leading to serious harms, reliance on a small number of non-U.S. studies for overall (disease-agnostic) diagnostic error and harm rates, and methodologic variability across studies in measuring disease-specific rates, determining preventability, and assessing causal factors. Conclusions. Although estimated ED error rates are low (and comparable to those found in other clinical settings), the number of patients potentially impacted is large. Not all diagnostic errors or harms are preventable, but wide variability in diagnostic error rates across diseases, symptoms, and hospitals suggests improvement is possible. With 130 million U.S. ED visits, estimated rates for diagnostic error (5.7%), misdiagnosis-related harms (2.0%), and serious misdiagnosis-related harms (0.3%) could translate to more than 7 million errors, 2.5 million harms, and 350,000 patients suffering potentially preventable permanent disability or death. Over two-thirds of serious harms are attributable to just 15 diseases and linked to cognitive errors, particularly in cases with “atypical” manifestations. Scalable solutions to enhance bedside diagnostic processes are needed, and these should target the most commonly misdiagnosed clinical presentations of key diseases causing serious harms. New studies should confirm overall rates are representative of current U.S.-based ED practice and focus on identified evidence gaps (errors among common diseases with lower-severity harms, pediatric ED errors and harms, dynamic systems factors such as overcrowding, and false positives). Policy changes to consider based on this review include: (1) standardizing measurement and research results reporting to maximize comparability of measures of diagnostic error and misdiagnosis-related harms; (2) creating a National Diagnostic Performance Dashboard to track performance; and (3) using multiple policy levers (e.g., research funding, public accountability, payment reforms) to facilitate the rapid development and deployment of solutions to address this critically important patient safety concern.

Full text
Abstract:
The southern Ontario bedrock model is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners, but its application is subject to uncertainty. To address this issue a semi-quantitative approach to visualize the relative effects of data sparsity for each layer, identify regions where a lack of data support reduces model confidence, and quantify potential errors in data collection and model construction is presented. This analysis summarizes several sources of error, including cartesian position error, error in the vertical position of the formation contact, error between the modelled topographic surface and recorded collar elevations, and error between the modelled formation top surface and formation top picks. Where data is present, these errors are added to provide an approximation of total uncertainty. Where data are not present, uncertainty is approximated as 50% of the range in formation top variation, with an average value of 27.5 m across all layers. The results show that data availability strongly influences the average total error for each layer, with deeper layers exhibiting higher total error due to lower data density. However, this analysis also suggests that the modelled surfaces likely carry errors of less than 5 to 10 m in most regions.

Abstract:
Developing and maintaining ontologies is an expensive and error-prone task. After an error is detected, users may have to wait for a long time before a corrected version of the ontology is available. In the meantime, one might still want to derive meaningful knowledge from the ontology, while avoiding the known errors. We study error-tolerant reasoning tasks in the description logic EL. While these problems are intractable, we propose methods for improving the reasoning times by precompiling information about the known errors and using proof-theoretic techniques for computing justifications. A prototypical implementation shows that our approach is feasible for large ontologies used in practice.
