Abstract:
Over the past decade, several Australian universities have offered a double degree in nursing and paramedicine. Mainstream employment models that facilitate integrated graduate practice in both nursing and paramedicine are currently lacking. The aim of the present study was to detail the development of the Interprofessional Graduate Program (IPG), the industrial and professional issues that required solutions, outcomes from the first pilot IPG group and future directions. The IPG was an 18-month program during which participants rotated between graduate nursing experience in emergency nursing at Northern Health, Melbourne, Australia and graduate paramedic experience with Ambulance Victoria. The first IPG with 10 participants ran from January 2011 to August 2012. A survey completed by nine of the 10 participants in March 2014 showed that all nine participants nominated Ambulance Victoria as their main employer and five participants were working casual shifts in nursing. Alternative graduate programs that span two health disciplines are feasible but hampered by rigid industrial relations structures and professional ideologies. Despite a ‘purpose built’ graduate program that spanned two disciplines, traditional organisational structures still hamper double-degree graduates using all of skills to full capacity, and force the selection of one dominant profession. What is known about the topic? There are no employment models that facilitate integrated graduate practice in both nursing and paramedicine. The lack of innovative employment models for double-degree graduates means that current graduate program structures force double-degree graduates to practice in one discipline, negating the intent of a double degree. What does this paper add? This is the first time that a graduate program specifically designed for double-degree graduates with qualifications as Registered Nurses and Paramedics has been developed, delivered and evaluated. This paper confirms that graduate programs spanning two health disciplines are feasible. What are the implications for practitioners? Even with a graduate program specifically designed to span nursing and paramedicine, traditional organisational structures still hamper double-degree graduates using all their skills to full capacity, and force the selection of one dominant profession.

Abstract:
Background: In Australia, accrediting body competencies reflect paramedic professional practice rather than informing curriculum development for higher education institutions. Purpose: This article will investigate frameworks that can be used to design curriculum development. Method: An initial focused discourse analysis of the grey literature was undertaken followed by a systematic review. Findings: Three of the 18 institutions in Australia and New Zealand that offer paramedic education identified some form of framework. Two theories were identified as applicable in supporting the development of curricula that are focused on the expanded scope of practice of paramedicine. Discussion: The current and future scope in paramedicine will define the development of curricula, especially in relation to a more primary-focused healthcare model. Conclusion: Further research is required to establish a consensus on what constitutes the essential core knowledge and skills required by graduate paramedics so that they are able to deliver patient care proficiently.

Abstract:
According to the theory of planned behaviour, a real behaviour that a person thinks about is best predicted by a certain intention (behavioural intention). Until now there is little known about the intention of German non-medical staff in preclinical emergency and rescue medicine to study emergency paramedics. For the verification of the data of 1.585 non-medical staff in preclinical emergency and rescue medicine from all 16 federal states of Germany collected by questionnaires, a linear structural equation model (SEM) was presented by means of inference statistical quality criteria (fit model) and evaluated by IBM SPSS Amos Grad Pack V.24.0. A complete causal model (SEM) with four measurement models (four-factor solution) could be created by using a path diagram. The measurement models of the present SEM should be investigated in further studies (Quality: root mean square error of approximation 0.121 and χ2/df 24.273). The results obtained in this study confirm positive intention of non-medical staff in preclinical emergency and rescue medicine to graduate from an undergraduate degree course in emergency paramedics. Personal behaviour as well as management should be critically debated, as far as an intention to study to become an emergency paramedic is concerned.

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Shift work disorder (SWD) involves excessive sleepiness and/or insomnia and is associated with poor health outcomes in those affected. This study assessed the prevalence of and risk factors for SWD during the first six-months of paramedics’ careers. Furthermore, the study explored potential mediators in the relationship between mental health and SWD risk. Methods Recruit paramedics’ (n=101) SWD risk (SWD-Screening Questionnaire) was assessed at baseline (i.e., before shift work) and at six-months after engaging in shift work as a graduate paramedic. Logistic regression models assessed whether baseline depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) and baseline anxiety (Generalised Anxiety Disorder Questionnaire-7) predicted a high risk for SWD at six-months. Lavaan path analysis was used to assess whether shift and sleep variables, created from participants’ sleep and work diaries, mediated the relationship between mental health and SWD risk. Results After six-months of emergency work 21.5% of paramedics were high risk for SWD. Baseline depression predicted 1.28-times greater odds for SWD at six-months. Shift and sleep variables were not mediators in the relationship between baseline mental health and subsequent SWD risk. Baseline depression was independently associated with increased sleepiness levels following paramedics’ major sleep periods across all work conditions (nightshift, workdays, and non-workdays) at six-months. Depression levels before shift work also predicted a greater perceived workload on nightshifts. Conclusions Depression symptoms before starting shift work are a modifiable risk factor for SWD. Moreover, the first six-months of paramedics’ careers is a critical period for implementing preventative measures for SWD, including interventions to decrease depression symptoms.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel care for patients in challenging and dynamic environments that may contribute to an increased risk for adverse events. However, little is known about the risks to patient safety in the EMS setting. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a systematic review of the literature, including nonrandomized, noncontrolled studies, conducted qualitative interviews of key informants, and, with the assistance of a pan-Canadian advisory board, hosted a 1-day summit of 52 experts in the field of EMS patient safety. The intent of the summit was to review available research, discuss the issues affecting prehospital patient safety, and discuss interventions that might improve the safety of the EMS industry. The primary objective was to define the strategic goals for improving patient safety in EMS. Participants represented all geographic regions of Canada and included administrators, educators, physicians, researchers, and patient safety experts. Data were collected through electronic voting and qualitative analysis of the discussions. The group reached consensus on nine recommendations to increase awareness, reduce adverse events, and suggest research and educational directions in EMS patient safety: increasing awareness of patient safety principles, improving adverse event reporting through creating nonpunitive reporting systems, supporting paramedic clinical decision making through improved research and education, policy changes, using flexible algorithms, adopting patient safety strategies from other disciplines, increasing funding for research in patient safety, salary support for paramedic researchers, and access to graduate training in prehospital research.

Abstract:
Graduate students are often exposed to many stressors during their rigorous academic programs which may impact their overall well-being. Researchers have long believed that self-compassion can be used as an emotion-regulated strategy to cope with stress. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to examine the relationship between self-compassion levels and coping mechanisms for stress among graduate social work students. Data were collected from 97 graduate social work students in a Hispanic-serving university in Southern California (N =97). Using non-parametric techniques, the Kruskal-Wallis Test and the Mann-Whitney Test, this study analyzed the correlation between self-compassion and coping mechanisms for stress, while separately controlling for demographic variables. Results showed a statistically significant correlation between self-compassion level and coping mechanisms (p < .001). The magnitude of this correlation was strong (η2 = .18). Implications of these findings for social work practice were discussed.

Abstract:
Objective This systematic review aims to identify and explore the barriers to and facilitators of learning and preparedness for clinical practice among undergraduate paramedicine students, graduate/intern paramedics and their preceptors. Introduction The educational landscape for paramedicine has evolved considerably since the introduction of the first paramedicine Bachelor’s degree. A need to identify the contemporary barriers to and facilitators of learning within the context of early career training in paramedicine education is needed. Inclusion criteria Participants were undergraduate paramedicine students, graduate/intern paramedics, newly qualified UK paramedics and their preceptors, within Australia, the UK and New Zealand. Published and unpublished English studies utilizing qualitative research designs were considered. Methods Five bibliographic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, ERIC, Embase and ProQuest dissertations and theses) were searched in 2018. Websites relevant to paramedic learning and a hand search of paramedicine journals (2019) were also undertaken. All studies identified from the search were examined against the inclusion criteria. Papers selected for inclusion were assessed by two independent reviewers for methodological quality prior to inclusion in the review. Qualitative research findings were extracted and pooled. Findings were assembled and categorized based on similarity in meaning. These categories were then subjected to a meta-synthesis in order to produce a single, comprehensive set of synthesized findings. Results Twenty-six studies were included in the review: eleven studies used semi-structured interviews, five used open-ended interviews and ten used focus groups, with a total sample size of 564 participants. Sixteen studies focussed on undergraduate paramedicine students, four involved paramedic preceptors, two focused on paramedic educators at paramedicine universities, and four included undergraduate paramedicine students and their preceptors. A total of 295 findings were extracted and grouped into twenty-eight categories. Categories were grouped into five synthesised findings as follows; • The role of mentoring/preceptorship • Opportunities to develop emotional intelligence and communication skills • The role of non-traditional placements/experiences • The role of non-traditional classroom teaching methods • Preparedness for practice Conclusions A variety of learning models exist with barriers and facilitators that impact on paramedicine students, graduate paramedics, and preceptors. The findings emphasize the importance of a preceptor to student learning; and the need to develop paramedicine students’ skills/capacity in dealing with the emotional side of paramedic practice. Paramedicine students and paramedic graduates were found to be underprepared to communicate effectively with patients, families and other professionals. Most of these barriers could be mitigated by the utilization of non-traditional placements/experiences and with the use of non-traditional teaching methods. The introduction of a paramedic facilitator model was shown to have considerable benefits, suggesting that the introduction of a national model, similar to that of other allied health models, may be beneficial. The findings indicate a need for more effective communication between the education sector and industry in relation to the challenges that currently exist in paramedicine education and what models appear to facilitate learning, development and preparedness for clinical practice.

Abstract:
This action research study explored the supports required to facilitate the successful transition for new graduate paramedics integrating into their role and to provide recommendations to AHS Emergency Medical Services managers to implement a positive change outcome. AHS paramedics who graduated in the last three years participated in a focus group and online survey. The study findings revealed that the transition experience was challenging and caused stress and anxiety for new graduates. Having a support system in place could increase job satisfaction, retention, organizational commitment, and enhance employee skill development. The study concluded that implementing a mentorship program with support of AHS leadership would prove invaluable. The recommendations reflect the importance of providing a healthy and supportive work environment and working collaboratively with key stakeholders to develop and implement support for new graduate paramedics in AHS. This study adhered to all ethical requirements.

Abstract:
Pattern Theory provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the modern challenges in signal, data, and pattern analysis in speech recognition, computational linguistics, image analysis and computer vision. Aimed at graduate students in biomedical engineering, mathematics, computer science, and electrical engineering with a good background in mathematics and probability, the text includes numerous exercises and an extensive bibliography. Additional resources including extended proofs, selected solutions and examples are available on a companion website. The book commences with a short overview of pattern theory and the basics of statistics and estimation theory. Chapters 3-6 discuss the role of representation of patterns via condition structure. Chapters 7 and 8 examine the second central component of pattern theory: groups of geometric transformation applied to the representation of geometric objects. Chapter 9 moves into probabilistic structures in the continuum, studying random processes and random fields indexed over subsets of Rn. Chapters 10 and 11 continue with transformations and patterns indexed over the continuum. Chapters 12-14 extend from the pure representations of shapes to the Bayes estimation of shapes and their parametric representation. Chapters 15 and 16 study the estimation of infinite dimensional shape in the newly emergent field of Computational Anatomy. Finally, Chapters 17 and 18 look at inference, exploring random sampling approaches for estimation of model order and parametric representing of shapes.

Abstract:
This e-book aims to present the most critical aspects of knowledge about using experiments in economics and practical tools for using them. The topic is extended to the more advanced and increasing in popularity area of biometric research. The book is divided into three parts mirroring experimentation. The first part provides theoretical background and tips about organising own research. The chapter is concluded with a guide focused on writing a research report in APA style. This part includes an example of the actual research report. The next part has two chapters, and both are guided tours allowing to plan and conduct eye-tracking research and electrodermal activity research (EDA). The chapters contain details about preparing experiments, conducting them, using the dedicated software to analyse collected data and interpreting the default charts. The last part is devoted to the data analysis and is universal, goes beyond the biometric experiments. There are three chapters in this part covering the standard procedures used in the analysis of experiments. The first part includes tests for one hypothesis: parametric t-test and One-Way ANOVA and non-parametric siblings: Mann Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test. The next part describes tests allowing testing more hypotheses: ANOVA without repetition and ANOVA with repetitions. Furthermore, the last chapter deals with dependent samples, which are a popular approach in experiments. This part describes the dependent sample t-test and Wilcoxon test. The effect sizes calculations are included; each test is shown with screenshots from SPSS and some additional screenshots from Excel. This approach allows following the procedure step by step. The examples help easily understand procedures and interpretations; they were chosen from areas of sustainability and innovations to match the general idea of the e-books series prepared within the CENETSIE program. The book contains texts that can be useful in the teaching process. It can be helpful in graduate programs in economics and business schools. Programs of doctoral schools cab benefit from this book as well.

In my view, work in special and inclusive education, and early childhood special education intervention is challenging and exciting. The children and young people (and adults) with complex special needs have become the shared responsibility of both educators and many other allied health professionals in recent years. The unique patterns of special education service delivery to these children and young people require work in interdisciplinary teams. The mission and concern of the chapter offers the interdisciplinary community in the education sector including teachers, academics, graduate students, policy makers, researchers, non-governmental organisations, government officials, school boards, medical and paramedical professionals, and advocacy groups the opportunity to work together to explore what notions of social equity mean, and to investigate ways of ameliorating disadvantage in special and inclusive education, and early childhood special education intervention sectors.

Abstract:
The general objective of this research is to analyze the perception that undergraduate and graduate students have about the use of escape rooms in the subjects of Economic History and International Economic Environment taught in a degree and a post-degree at two online universities. As specific objectives, this study evaluates, on the one hand, the degree of dynamism, commitment, and involvement of students in the virtual classroom because of the use of escape rooms and, on the other, the impact on their academic performance. This work applies the experimental method from two randomly generated samples in each of the two subjects considered for this analysis. The data to carry out this analysis will be obtained from an ad hoc questionnaire to collect, among other aspects, the perceptions about the impact of the experience. The information generated will be treated with non-parametric inference tools.

Full text
Abstract:
Swellable elastomers are used for zonal isolation and as an alternate to cementing is a new approach, resulting in significant reduction in time, cost, and weight. Very large strains, flexibility, resilience, and durability are their special features. Performance analysis is important design improvement and appropriate selection of swell packers. Experimental evaluation of swelling-elastomer seal performance can be very costly, and is not even possible in many cases. Numerical simulations (Chapters 8 and 9) can be more convenient, but computational effort and cost can be high. Development of closed-form (analytical) solutions is presented in this chapter to estimate the variation of contact pressure along the length of the elastomer seal. Major relevant parameters are properties of the material elastomer, seal configuration and size, magnitude of seal compression, and differential pressure across the seal. Numerical (finite element) modeling and simulation is also performed. There was good conformity between analytical and simulation results, validating the soundness of the analytical solution, and providing assurance that it can reliably predict the sealing response of the elastomer. A comprehensive parametric study is then conducted to assess seal performance while varying different key factors. Properties of the elastomer material (as it swells with exposure time) are required to run the analytical and the FE models. A large set of experiments were therefore designed and conducted to evaluate mechanical properties (E, G, K, and v) of the elastomer with gradual swelling (Chapters 3 and 7).

Abstract:
Abstract Recent collaborations with graduate students in Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University and industry, such as United Technologies (OTIS and Pratt & Whitney) and Honeywell (AlliedSignal) have resulted in significant advancements to the interactive and programmatic parametric design methodologies. This paper presents the basics of interactive parametric CAD design as a point-of-departure for our discussion of the programmatic approach. Further it will discuss the advantages and problems of using a programmatic parametric design approach to reduce design cycle time. This programmatic parametric approach involves the combination of vendor provided interactive CAD parametrics and native CAD toolkit development and customization. Finally it will focus on the advantages and drawbacks of this schema by using joint educational/ industrial examples. These advantages include improvements in the design/analysis/ manufacture process as well as in the overall communication between different engineering load centers. The time and resource commitment to custom CAD development has haunted industry for decades. However, through new techniques and interfaces being explored and developed at BYU we propose a new graphical user interface for custom programming of CAD. This paper discusses the advantages that such an interface would have in reducing programming time and allowing the program to interoperate between multiple CAD packages with varying graphic kernels.

Full text
Abstract:
The bending stiffeners discussed in this paper are ancillary structural components installed on flexible lines at their connections with floating units in offshore oil production systems. The configuration of these accessories must provide the installation with a gradual variation of the bending stiffness near the line’s attaching point, smoothing the curvature and avoiding that the structural bending limit of the flexible line be exceeded, and thus reducing the stress field of the compliant structure therein fixed. Generally modeled as having a simple conical shape, in practice, however, bending stiffeners geometries are not so simple. Indeed, units consisting of four different sections are common. This paper presents a parametric structural analysis of these components by means of an analytically formulated model, which results in a second order non-linear differential equation with variable coefficients. The ensuing mathematical boundary value problem is solved numerically with a code developed in Matlab®, using an internal program based on a collocation method — as opposed to a shooting method. Bending stiffener design and normative issues are also briefly discussed. Finally, solutions obtained previously both analytically and by finite element discretizations are used to validate the analytical solutions obtained herein.

Abstract:
Concrete Lattice, a project produced for the graduate thesis studio Concrete Labor(1), seeks to challenge our normative association with this building typology by developing a lattice system of prefabricated units using Glass-Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC). Lattice systems are porous, lightweight, and deployable; terms that are not typically associated with concrete structures. The design of parametric units rather than linear components(typical of lattice systems), highlights issues of assembly in precast building systems using integrated components. While design workflows and CNC fabrication aided in efficiently manufacturing the units, the assembly is post-tensioned during the construction process to limit the amount of scaffolding necessary. Our goal was to explore the development of a complex lattice system using digital technology to explore formal and manufacturing processes.

The main purpose of the present research is to explore the influence of religiousness on couple commitment, drawing from previous studies where religiousness was confirmed as a strong predictor for positive relationship outcomes. We also aim to analyze relationship satisfaction as a mediating variable between religiousness and commitment. Furthermore, the study seeks to investigate forgiveness in dyadic romantic relationships, testing its role as a moderator of the association between relationship satisfaction and commitment. The procedure includes the recruitment of heterosexual students enrolled in post-graduate courses and their partners to take part in the present study. The final sample consists of 116 individuals involved in romantic relationships. All participants filled in a series of validated self-reported measures, providing data which was analyzed using parametric statistical tests. Additionally, we conducted mediation and moderation analyses. Results indicate that relationship satisfaction is positively associated with commitment, whereas religiousness is positively associated with relationship satisfaction, thus having an indirect effect on commitment. Additionally, considering overall forgiveness as well as the negative vs. positive components of the construct, we find that positive forgiveness is associated with commitment, when satisfaction is also considered in the equation. The current results have important therapeutic implications, such as using forgiveness-related therapies for couples and enhancing relationship satisfaction as means to consolidate relationship commitment.

Abstract:
The gradual decline of oil reserves and the increasing demand for energy have resulted in automotive manufacturers developing new environmentally friendly vehicles such as electric and hybrid vehicles. Selection of the correct hybrid configuration for a given driving condition is very important since it affects the performance of the vehicle and its fuel economy. This paper focuses on a detailed parametric analysis of a Series Hybrid Electric vehicle (SHEV). The objective of this paper was to develop a SHEV powertrain by initial parameter matching and component sizing, followed by its optimization for given design constraints. This involved study and calculation of components power specifications based on vehicle dynamics. Initial parameterization was followed by optimization to meet the design objective. The simulation of the optimized SHEV was done in the software ADVISOR for an Indian driving cycle (IDC). Based on the simulation results, an optimum range of the powertrain components was established.

Abstract:
This paper presents a case study on the design of a draw capstan drive with feedback control for use in optical fiber manufacturing. Optical fiber is manufactured by the draw process, which involves heating and pulling high purity glass cylinders to diameters of 125 micron. Of critical concern is producing a constant diameter for the glass fiber and its lightguide core. The diameter of the optical fiber must remain constant to create a product capable of transmitting high-bandwidth optical data. The optical fiber draw capstan design has a significant impact on the resulting fiber quality. As the draw speed is used to control the fiber diameter, the ability of the draw capstan to follow velocity commands directly affects the resulting fiber diameter. In this case study a systems approach is used for the design of the mechanical and control aspects through parametric evaluations and modeling, as well as simulation studies of the capstan drive. Disturbances in the draw process arise from sources such as the variation in the diameter of the input glass cylinder and the draw tension control, affecting the glass temperature and viscosity. Simulation studies demonstrate that speed regulation, to manufacture optical fiber within allowable diameter tolerances, is achievable in the presence of representative disturbances. The capstan model and design along with the fiberdrawing process model presented in this case study are suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses in system dynamics, control, and mechatronics. As is typical of many problems in manufacturing processes, the problem discussed is multidisciplinary. The study highlights the use of mechanical and electrical modeling, system identification, and control design as necessary parts of product and process improvement.

Abstract:
Introducing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to engineering students at the undergraduate level has become more common in recent years, although there are significant barriers for doing so using a generalized CFD solver. A common constraint is the quantity of material to be covered in a fixed amount of time in a given course, which leaves little time left for learning the use of a generalized CFD package. With this consideration in mind, FlowLab (www.flowlab.fluent.com) was introduced by Fluent Inc. FlowLab may be described as a virtual fluids laboratory—a computer based analysis and visualization package. Using FlowLab, students solve predefined CFD exercises. These predefined exercises facilitate teaching and provide students with hands-on CFD experience. Through the design of each FlowLab exercise, students are introduced to engineering problems and concepts as well as CFD via a structured learning process. In the fall 2003 semester at Purdue University, FlowLab was used in CHE 540, a transport phenomena course offered within the School of Chemical Engineering. This course is open to advanced undergraduate engineering students and graduate students. Students were exposed to eight separate FlowLab exercises in this course. This paper gives a detailed summary of one of these specific exercises, developing flow in a pipe with and without heat transfer. The paper emphasizes how the use of CFD via FlowLab enhanced the teaching of specific concepts in transport phenomena as well as concepts in CFD such as creating a parametric geometry, discretizing the geometry, specifying boundary conditions, material properties and operating conditions, numerical solution techniques and post-processing. Experiences from this course are that FlowLab is a positive force for creating student interest and excitement in the area of fluid mechanics and transport phenomena. Using FlowLab’s post-processing capabilities, students were able to visualize complex flow fields and make direct comparison to analytical theory and experimental correlation. In addition, FlowLab provided a structured learning experience which reinforced proper pedagogy for applying CFD to engineering problems. Upon completion of the course, a student survey was performed in CHE 540 focusing on FlowLab integration and usage, and survey responses are summarized in this paper.
