Abstract:
Aims and methodTo compare rates of admission for different types of severe mental illness between ethnic groups, and to test the hypothesis that larger and more clustered ethnic groups will have lower admission rates. This was a descriptive study of routinely collected data from the National Health Service in England.ResultsThere was an eightfold difference in admission rates between ethnic groups for schizophreniform and mania admissions, and a fivefold variation in depression admissions. On average, Black and minority ethnic (BME) groups had higher rates of admission for schizophreniform and mania admissions but not for depression. This increased rate was greatest in the teenage years and early adulthood. Larger ethnic group size was associated with lower admission rates. However, greater clustering was associated with higher admission rates.Clinical implicationsOur findings support the hypothesis that larger ethnic groups have lower rates of admission. This was a between-group comparison rather than within each group. Our findings do not support the hypothesis that more clustered groups have lower rates of admission. In fact, they suggest the opposite: groups with low clustering had lower admission rates. The BME population in the UK is increasing in size and becoming less clustered. Our results suggest that both of these factors should ameliorate the overrepresentation of BME groups among psychiatric in-patients. However, this overrepresentation continues, and our results suggest a possible explanation, namely, changes in the delivery of mental health services, particularly the marked reduction in admissions for depression.Declaration of interestNone.

Abstract:
ObjectiveTo determine if epilepsy admissions, compared to admissions for other medical causes, are associated with a higher readmission risk for mood disorders.MethodsThe Nationwide Readmissions Database is a nationally representative dataset comprising 49% of US hospitalizations in 2013. In this retrospective cohort study, we used ICD-9-CM codes to identify medical conditions. Index admissions for epilepsy (n = 58,278) were compared against index admissions for stroke (n = 215,821) and common medical causes (n = 973,078). Readmission rates (per 100,000 index admissions) for depression or bipolar disorders within 90 days from discharge for index hospitalization were calculated. Cox regression was used to test for associations between admission type (defined in 3 categories as above) and readmission for depression or bipolar disorder up to 1 year after index admission, in univariate models and adjusted for age, sex, psychiatric history, drug abuse, income quartile of patient's zip code, and index hospitalization characteristics.ResultsThe adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for readmission for depression in the epilepsy group was elevated at 2.80 compared to the stroke group (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.39–3.27, p < 2 × 10−16), and 2.09 compared to the medical group (95% CI 1.88–2.32, p < 2 × 10−16). The adjusted HR for readmission for bipolar disorder in the epilepsy group was elevated at 5.84 compared to the stroke group (95% CI 4.56–7.48, p < 2 × 10−16), and 2.46 compared to the medical group (95% CI 2.16–2.81, p < 2 × 10−16).ConclusionAdmission for epilepsy was independently associated with subsequent hospital readmission for mood disorders. The magnitude of elevated risk in this population suggests that patients admitted with epilepsy may warrant targeted psychiatric screening during their hospital admission.

Abstract:
Background/Aims: To determine the burden of hospitalisation in children with adrenal insufficiency (AI)/hypopituitarism in Australia. Methods: A retrospective study of Australian hospitalisation data. All admissions between 2001 and 2014 for patients aged 0–19 years with a principal diagnosis of AI/hypopituitarism were included. Denominator populations were extracted from national statistics datasets. Results: There were 3,779 admissions for treatment of AI/hypopituitarism in patients aged 0–19 years, corresponding to an average admission rate of 48.7 admissions/million/year. There were 470 (12.4%) admissions for an adrenal crisis (AC). Overall, admission for AI/hypopituitarism was comparable between the sexes. Admission rates for all AI, hypopituitarism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), and “other and unspecified causes” of AI were highest among infants and decreased with age. Admissions for primary AI increased with age in both sexes. Males had significantly higher rates of admission for hypopituitarism. AC rates differed by both sex and age group. Conclusion: This nationwide study of the epidemiology of hospital admissions for a principal diagnosis of AI/hypopituitarism shows that admissions generally decreased with age; males had higher rates of admission for hypopituitarism; females had higher rates of admission for CAH and “other and unspecified causes” of AI; and AC incidence varied by age and sex. Increased awareness of AI and AC prevention strategies may reduce some of these admissions.

Abstract:
A two year follow-up of two matched groups of subjects with chronic severe mental illness was performed in order to evaluate a new psychiatric case management system. One group (n=59) received care through psychiatric case management, using an assertive community treatment model that directly involved general practitioners. The other group, matched for age, sex, diagnostic group and number of hospital admissions, received standard outpatient care. Comparing the two years before and after case management, the experimental group showed a dramatic fall in inpatient admission days while the control group admission days remained the same (median difference in admission days across matched subject pairs = 64.5, 95% C.I. from 134.5 to 16). The experimental group remained out of hospital longer before first readmission (Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, P=0.002). This type of case management programme can shorten or prevent admissions to psychiatric hospitals of patients with chronic mental illness, and increase their time before readmission.

Abstract:
ObjectiveThe lack of coordinated and appropriate healthcare across sectors has produced more patients for county hospitals in China. This study examined differences in patient choice between township and county hospitals for readmission after a first township hospitalisation, and the determinants that influenced this choice.DesignA retrospective study of readmissions across hospitals after a first admission in township hospital. A township–township (TT) inpatient group and a township–county (TC) inpatient group were compared. A two-level logistic regression model was used to examine the determinants of choice for hospital readmission.SettingData were drawn from a population-based health utilisation database for Qianjiang District, China, from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2013.ParticipantsThis study focused on readmitted patients whose first admission was in a township hospital. Readmission cases were identified as the same diagnosis (International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision) in a subsequent hospitalisation within 30 days. In total, 6764 readmissions had first admissions in township hospitals.Primary outcome measuresPatient choice for hospital readmission after a first township hospitalisation.ResultsThe TT group accounted for 62.5% (4225) and the TC group for 37.5% (2539) of readmissions in 6 years, and the proportion of TC readmissions in total inpatients increased from 1.66% to 1.89%. Readmission rates varied among towns (p<0.001). Differences between the TC and TT groups included: length of stay (LOS) of first admission (6.96 days vs 9.23 days), average interval between admissions (6.03 days vs 14.95 days) and disease category. Admission year, age, travel time to county hospital, interval between admissions, first admission LOS and disease category were determinants of choice for hospital readmission.ConclusionsPatients whose first admission was in a township hospital were more likely to be readmitted to a county hospital. A combination of first LOS and interval between admissions may be an effective identification index for TC readmission.Trial registration numberChiCTR-OOR-14005563.

BackgroundRepetition of hospital-treated self-poisoning and admission to psychiatric hospital are both common in individuals who self-poison.AimsTo evaluate efficacy of postcard intervention after 5 years.MethodA randomised controlled trial of individuals who have self-poisoned: postcard intervention (eight in 12 months) plus treatment as usualv.treatment as usual. Our primary outcomes were self-poisoning admissions and psychiatric admissions (proportions and event rates).ResultsThere was no difference between groups for any repeat-episode self-poisoning admission (intervention group: 24.9%, 95% CI 20.6-29.5; control group: 27.2%, 95% CI 22.8-31.8) but there was a significant reduction in event rates (incidence risk ratio (IRR)=0.54, 95% CI 0.37-0.81), saving 306 bed days. There was no difference for any psychiatric admission (intervention group: 38.1%, 95% CI 33.1-43.2; control group: 35.5%, 95% CI 30.8-40.5) but there was a significant reduction in event rates (IRR=0.66, 95% CI 0.47-0.91), saving 2565 bed days.ConclusionsA postcard intervention halved self-poisoning events and reduced psychiatric admissions by a third after 5 years. Substantial savings occurred in general hospital and psychiatric hospital bed days.

Abstract:
The rules of belonging to a group can be clear and transparent or hidden and opaque. This paper examines some of the problems that can be experienced by members and provisional members of NZAP and draws analogies with Shakespeare's Hamlet. Of particular interest are the play's themes of protocol, power, betrayal and hypocrisy and how they can affect large group interaction. The pain and shame of self-consciousness and of feeling excluded can result in continuing difficulties when we meet together in large groups.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Recording patients’ ethnic group supports efforts to achieve equity in health care provision. Before the Equality Act (2010), recording ethnic group at hospital admission was poor in Scotland but has improved subsequently. We describe the first analysis of the utility of such data nationally for monitoring ethnic variation. Methods We analysed all in-patient or day case hospital admissions in 2013. We imputed missing data using the most recent ethnic group recorded for a patient from 2009 to 2015. For episodes lacking an ethnic code, we attributed known ethnic codes proportionately. Using the 2011 Census population, we calculated rates and rate ratios for all-cause admissions and ischaemic heart diseases (IHDs) directly standardized for age. Results Imputation reduced missing ethnic group codes from 24 to 15% and proportionate redistribution to zero. While some rates for both all-cause and IHD admissions appeared plausible, unexpectedly low or high rates were observed for several ethnic groups particularly amongst White groups and newly coded groups. Conclusions Completeness of ethnicity recoding on hospital admission records has improved markedly since 2010. However the validity of admission rates based on these data is variable across ethnic groups and further improvements are required to support monitoring of inequality.

Abstract:
Becoming a mother is a challenging time and for some women the lifestyle adjustment can be very stressful. In combination with the changes in family structure mothers are increasingly seeking professional support and assistance in the care of their infants and children. Child and family health services in NSW offer varying levels of professional support and education, including 24-hour residential care. The purpose of this study is to explore and describe the mothers' perceptions and experiences of residential admission to a Child and Family Health Unit - Karitane. This study is descriptive in nature. Sixteen English speaking mothers admitted to Karitane in 1998 took part in the study. Focus groups were the main source of data for the study. The focus groups were undirected, conversations recorded and written notes taken. Additional data were collected by a questionnaire to determine the demographic characteristics of the mothers. The mothers' indicators of depression were scored using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Each mother completed the EPDS during the admission period and at the time of the focus and respective comparison was made. Data analysis revealed that the mothers' EDPS scores had decreased significantly at the time of the focus group meeting. The key concepts that emerged in the mothers' descriptions of their experiences were the importance of the development of the professional relationship, equity and access to parenting services, particularly for the partner, and the need for services to promote and provide realistic parenting education with an early intervention focus. The implications of the findings lend support to health care professionals in lobbying government for the necessary funds, in providing increased access to quality parenting services.

Recent advances in wireless communication networks led to possibility of multi-rate transmission of information. The queueing theory represents a valid tool to study how the performances of such communication systems can be improved, and to give proper solutions. Modeling a multi-rate transmission system, in terms of queueing theory, means that a particular discipline has to be considered: a group of requests from users can be processed simultaneously in parallel and processing of the whole group is supposed finished if processing of all individual requests belonging to this group is over. In order to model this typology of telecommunication systems, some particular assumption can be made on arrivals, which occur by a Markovian arrival process, and on service time and length of admission period, which are regulated by phase type distributions. Thus, in this thesis MAP/PH/1 queueing systems have been considered, with and without retrial to take into account all possible behaviours of the customers. The main goal of the research activity presented in this work is to introduce novel admission strategies for the described systems, in order to give a major contribute to the current performance analysys, in particular as regard the choice of the optimal length of admission period and optimal size of the groups. Dynamics of such systems are described by multidimensional Markov chains. Ergodicity condition for these Markov chains have been derived, stationary probability distribution of the states have been computed, formulas for the main performance measures of the system have been attained. Essential advantages of the proposed customer’s service disciplines have been numerically illustrated. [edited by author]
I recenti progressi ottenuti per le reti di comunicazione wireless, permettono la trasmissione multi-frequenza delle informazioni. La teoria delle code rappresenta un valido strumento per studiare come le performance di tali sistemi di comunicazione possano essere migliorate, e individuare opportune soluzioni. In termini di teoria delle code, modellare un sistema di trasmissione multi-frequenza significa considerare una determinata disciplina: un gruppo di richieste da parte di utenti possono essere processate simultaneamente in parallelo, e il processo dell’intero gruppo risulta completato se tutte le richieste appartenenti a tale gruppo sono espletate. Al fine di modellare tale tipologia di sistemi di telecomunicazione, si possono definire particolari assunzioni sugli arrivi, determinati da processi di arrivo Markoviani, e sul tempo di servizio e lunghezza del periodo di ammissione, regolati da distribuzioni di tipo a fasi. Pertanto, in tale lavoro di tesi sono stati considerati sistemi a coda di tipo MAP/PH/1, con e senza retrial per considerare tutti i possibili comportamenti degli utenti. Il principale obiettivo dell’attivita` di ricerca presentata in tale lavoro `e introdurre nuove strategie di ammissione per i sistemi descritti, al fine di fornire un maggior contributo alle attuali analisi sulle performance, in particolare relativamente alla scelta della lunghezza ottimale del periodo di ammissione e la dimensione ottimale dei gruppi. Le dinamiche di tali sistemi sono descritte da catene di Markov multidimensionali. `E stata ricavata la condizione di ergodicit`a per tali catene di Markov, `e stata calcolata la distribuzione delle probabilita` stazionarie degli stati, e sono state ottenute le formule per le misure dei principali parametri prestazionali del sistema. I principali vantaggi delle discipline di servizio proposte sono state illustrate numericamente. [a cura dell'autore]

Abstract:
Background, aim and objectives: Evaluating quality of care is essential when redesigning or improving practice. Medicines reconciliation (MR) on hospital admission is now policy in the UK. It is the process of obtaining an up-to-date and accurate medication list and documenting any discrepancies. The overall aim of this work was to develop quality indicators to evaluate MR on admission to hospital; the specific objectives include developing MR quality indicators, achieving consensus on their appropriateness and testing their feasibility by applying them in a hospital setting. Design: The study was designed in three parts, each consisting of three steps. In part I, ideas about potential indicators were obtained from two sources: a literature search and the nominal group technique. These ideas were converted to potential indicators using criteria for good indicators and then reviewed by nine reviewers. Part II was designed to achieve consensus on the appropriateness of the indicators to evaluate MR. It involved pre-piloting, piloting and conducting the main two-round online Delphi study. Several methods were used to approach predefined experts. Part III involved applying in hospital settings those MR indicators that had achieved consensus. It included developing operational definitions and directly observing the MR process as conducted by pharmacy staff in two hospitals. The indicators were further tested by collecting data about the MR process for all patients seen by pharmacy staff on one weekday in the two hospitals. Results: A systematic approach was followed to develop MR indicators. The idea generation step produced over 90 ideas about potential indicators, which were converted to 85 MR indicators. The assessment by the nine practicing hospital pharmacists discarded 29 of them and the remaining 56 MR indicators were carried forward to the Delphi study, during which 41 indicators achieved consensus as appropriate for evaluating MR on admission to hospital. In the feasibility study, 5 MR indicators were found not to be feasible and three not adequately assessed, while 33 indicators were considered feasible to be used in a hospital setting. Conclusions: This work provided a novel list of 33 indicators that achieved consensus and were found to be feasible to evaluate the MR process on admission to hospital. Further research should explore the use of these indicators, among others, to assess and improve the overall quality of care provided to patients on admission and throughout the hospitalization journey.

ABSTRACT Predicting On-the-Job Teacher Success Based on a Group Assessment Procedure Used for Admission to Teacher Education by LaVaun Gene Faulk, Doctor of Education Utah State University, 2008 Major Professor: Deborah Byrnes, Ph.D. Department: Elementary Education Students who have graduated in Elementary Education at Utah State University, since 1997 when the group assessment interview procedure was adopted, and have been employed as teachers for at least two years were contacted. Students were located with the help of the Utah State Office of Education (USOE) and the Office of Teacher Education, Graduation, and Educator Licensing at USU. Permission to interview each teacher’s supervisor was obtained from each study participant. Principals were contacted and interview dates set. A self-anchoring interview was conducted to provide quantitative data on the success of each teacher. This new data was then used to compare each participant’s success as seen by supervisors to existing data already on record at USU. Specifically, principal interview data were compared to the participant’s student teaching scores, prior academic achievement data (grade point average and American College Test scores), and ratings the teacher received on the group assessment interviews when applying to the elementary education teacher training program at USU.

Abstract:
O processo de treinamento e desenvolvimento de recursos humanos é um importante instrumento para a gerência e para a assistência, os estudos encontrados acerca do treinamento em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) estão relacionados, principalmente, à realização de técnicas assistenciais. Reconhecendo a relevância do preparo do enfermeiro para atuação em UTI e sabendo da valorização que o grupo de enfermeiros da UTI de um hospital privado do município de São Paulo atribui ao processo de treinamento admissional, esta pesquisa foi desenvolvida na Instituição, Hospital Campo de Estudo (HCE). Assim, constituíram-se como objetivos desse estudo: analisar o processo de treinamento admissional do enfermeiro na UTI, na perspectiva dos enfermeiros da UTI do HCE; reelaborar o processo de treinamento admissional de enfermeiro na UTI, na perspectiva dos enfermeiros da UTI do HCE e definir o perfil do enfermeiro instrutor do treinamento admissional do enfermeiro. A fim de alicerçar essa reelaboração nos valores e necessidades expressas por esse grupo, optou-se pelo método de investigação, da pesquisa-ação. A técnica de coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de grupo focal, constituído de 11 enfermeiros com mais de três anos nessa UTI. Foram realizadas seis reuniões, totalizando dez horas de trabalho. Ainda, na coleta de dados, foram divulgados os relatórios-síntese dessas reuniões possibilitando a participação dos demais 18 enfermeiros da UTI que responderam aos questionários dirigidos, desse modo, houve contribuição de todo o coletivo estudado. Essa estratégia possibilitou a concretização da tarefa do grupo para além da proposta inicial de reelaboração do processo de treinamento. Em consonância ao perfil desejado para o enfermeiro dessa UTI, ora estabelecido pelo grupo, foram também descritos o conceito, os objetivos, as estratégias, a duração e as metas a serem alcançadas pelo enfermeiro recém-admitido. Para tal, foram construídos o novo instrumento, o fluxograma, o memento e a descrição do perfil do enfermeiro instrutor. Além do trabalho desenvolvido, a pesquisa promoveu no grupo e na pesquisadora a reflexão sobre aspectos intervenientes ao processo educativo, bem como acerca da identidade do grupo caracterizada pelo papel assistencial, pela autonomia de ação e, conseqüente, reconhecimento junto à equipe multiprofissional, o que facilitou, de modo coerente, a reelaboração do processo de treinamento admissional do enfermeiro da UTI-HCE
The human resource training and development process is an important instrument for management and care-providers. Studies regarding Intensive Care Unit (ICU) training relate especially to the performance of care-providing techniques. This research was developed at a Study Field Hospital (SFH) considering the importance of a nurses training process for performing at an ICU and knowing how ICU nursing staff value the admission training process at a private practice hospital in the city of São Paulo. Study objectives were to: analyze the ICU-nurse admission training process from the SFH ICU nurses standpoint; redesign the ICU-nurse admission training process from the SFH ICU nurses standpoint; and determine the educator-nurse profile for the ICU-nurse admission training process. In order to support this redesigning within the values and needs expressed by the group, the investigational method of action research was adopted. The data collection technique performed was based on a focus group composed of 11 nurses who have worked at this SFH ICU for more than three years. Six meetings were held in a total of ten working hours. Furthermore, during data collection, summarized meeting reports were issued allowing 18 other ICU nurses who answered the guided questionnaires to participate and therefore the whole group under study contributed. This strategy warranted concretization of the groups task further than the initially proposed redesigning of the training process. In agreement with the desired nurse profile for the ICU, now established by the group; concept, objectives, strategies, duration, and goals to be met by a recently-hired nurse were also described. For such, a new instrument, flow-chart, guideline and educator-nurse profile description were conceived. In addition to the work developed, this research fostered both in the group and the investigator a reflection on intervening aspects of the educational process as well as of the group identity, characterized by the care-providing role, autonomy to act and consequent recognition by the multi-professional team which coherently facilitated the redesigning of the nurse admission training process at the SFH ICU

NAC is a vision, which utilizes existing solutions and new technologies to provide assurance that any device connecting to a network policy domain is authenticated and is subject to the network’s policy enforcement. Non-compliant devices are isolated until they have been brought back to a complaint status. We compare the NAC technologies in terms of architectural and functional features they provide.

There is a race of NAC solutions in the marketplace, each claiming their own definition and terminology, making it difficult for customers to adopt such a solution, resulting in much uncertainty. The NAC paradigm can be classified into two categories: the first category embraces open standards; the second follows proprietary standards. By selecting these architectures, we cover a representative set of proprietary and open standards-based NAC technologies.

This study concludes that there is a great need for standardization and interoperability of NAC components and that the four major solution proposals that we studied fall short of the desired interoperability. With standards, customers have the choice to adopt solution components from different vendors, selecting, what is commonly referred to as the best of breed. One example for a standard technology that all four NAC technologies that we studied did adopt is the IEEE’s 802.1X port-based access control technology. It is used to control endpoint device access to the network.

One shortcoming that most NAC architectures (with the exception of Trusted Network Connect) have in common, is the lack of a strong root-of-trust. Without it, clients’ compliance measurements cannot be trusted by the policy server whose task is to assess each client’s policy compliance.

AbstractThe group therapy programme at the Walker Unit uses a multimodal approach including verbal, non-verbal, and physical elements. The programme draws on expertise from a range of professional disciplines. The group programme provides therapeutic clinical intervention rather than activity or distraction-based programmes, providing structure and containment as well as cultivating engagement in the therapeutic process and therapy skill building, navigating interpersonal dynamics. Being in a contained unit, the spaces on the ward are also used to facilitate a therapeutic environment during groups. Toward the end of the admissions adolescents and their families may adopt a similarly structured programme or routine including skills and strategies, to assist with their transition from hospital and maintain therapeutic gains achieved from their admission.

AbstractThis case addresses the challenge of leadership succession in a highly respected master’s program at a university in Australia. The director, who was also the program’s lead professor, was due to retire, and the distinctive nature of the program made it particularly difficult to find a suitable replacement. To complicate the challenge, the university’s central administration was not supportive of that master’s degree, whereas it achieved the highest satisfaction ratings in the university from students and enjoyed good support from industry; the director’s insistence on quality of educational experience resulted in tight control of student admission, fewer students, and lower revenue than competing programs.A highly engaged group of students and alumni took on this challenge, working with the outgoing director to sustain impressive results over a 5-year period.

AbstractAlthough the number of places available in Portuguese public higher education institutions is higher than the number of candidates, some applicants are still left out. Moreover, for those who get a place, inequalities are evident in the admission to the most selective institutions and programmes. This chapter aims to (i) identify and characterise the group of unsuccessful applicants; (ii) analyse the probability of a student being placed in his/her preferred programme; and (iii) examine socioeconomic inequalities in the acces to the most selective programmes. Findings reveal that female candidates, those with the lowest grade point average and those who live in the biggest cities, Porto and Lisbon, are most likely to be among the unsuccessful applicants, which suggests inequalities in access to higher education. Inequalities are also embedded within higher education, as access to universities and more selective study programmes seems to be easier for students whose parents hold higher education qualifications.

AbstractThis chapter analyses inequalities in the transition from upper secondary to higher education in Portugal, using empirical data from the General-Directorate of Education and Science Statistics (DGEEC). It argues that educational inequalities are already present in Portuguese students’ trajectories before higher education and that the transition to higher education therefore reflects these different opportunities. The central argument is that socioeconomic status is the most important aspect that directly or indirectly conditions transition to higher education in Portugal, and thus is the primary source of inequality in participation. The findings also point to other factors similar to those already highlighted in the literature as responsible for inequalities in access to higher education: previous schooling, gender, different regional opportunities and selection and admission criteria, with socioeconomic status appearing to be transversal to and/or aggravate the influence of most of these other factors (except gender). Disadvantaged students who manage to surmount all the different obstacles and reach higher education belong to a group of resilient “academic survivors”. Based on the findings of this study, several areas of intervention are proposed.

Abstract:
Evaluating learners' competencies is a crucial concern in education, and home and classroom structured tests represent an effective assessment tool. Structured tests consist of sets of items that can refer to several abilities or more than one topic. Several statistical approaches allow evaluating students considering the items in a multidimensional way, accounting for their structure. According to the evaluation's ending aim, the assessment process assigns a final grade to each student or clusters students in homogeneous groups according to their level of mastery and ability. The latter represents a helpful tool for developing tailored recommendations and remediations for each group. At this aim, latent class models represent a reference. In the item response theory (IRT) paradigm, the multidimensional latent class IRT models, releasing both the traditional constraints of unidimensionality and continuous nature of the latent trait, allow to detect sub-populations of homogeneous students according to their proficiency level also accounting for the multidimensional nature of their ability. Moreover, the semi-parametric formulation leads to several advantages in practice: It avoids normality assumptions that may not hold and reduces the computation demanding. This study compares the results of the multidimensional latent class IRT models with those obtained by a two-step procedure, which consists of firstly modeling a multidimensional IRT model to estimate students' ability and then applying a clustering algorithm to classify students accordingly. Regarding the latter, parametric and non-parametric approaches were considered. Data refer to the admission test for the degree course in psychology exploited in 2014 at the University of Naples Federico II. Students involved were N=944, and their ability dimensions were defined according to the domains assessed by the entrance exam, namely Humanities, Reading and Comprehension, Mathematics, Science, and English. In particular, a multidimensional two-parameter logistic IRT model for dichotomously-scored items was considered for students' ability estimation.

AbstractThis chapter brings together the EU and national instruments conducive to circular migration developed in Bulgaria and Poland and assesses their implementation against the backdrop of the study’s benchmarks concerning entry and re-entry conditions for migrant workers. In order to do that, the chapter first presents the national general admission frameworks and the specific instruments identified as favourable to circular migration; as a second step, it focuses on the implementation of EU instruments in the national laws of Bulgaria and Poland. This analysis is complemented by insights into the implementation dynamics of the EU and national instruments on the basis of data collected through focus groups with migrants from Ukraine and Russia as well as interviews conducted with stakeholders and data on permits retrieved from the national administrations of both countries. The chapter ends with an assessment of whether the instruments developed provide options for facilitated entry for migrants from the Eastern partnership countries and Russia, as well as for circulation-friendly policies – for instance, the possibility to grant priority to seasonal workers who have been employed in the territory of a Member State for a significant period over other workers who seek admission to that State.

Abstract:
ZusammenfassungFormerly explorative tympanotomies including sealing of the round/oval window/s have only been used in treating perilymphatic fistulas. During the last years this operation especially in the middle European countries has also been performed more and more in patients suffering from an ISSNHL. In this chapter the effect of this operation including a simultaneous systematic steroid therapy on hearing levels has been collected from data presented in literature and the results will be presented by means of a systematic review. The survey also includes the results of this operative procedure in 41 patients who have been treated by us.Based on 19 publications dealing with the above mentioned topic only 6 studies (4 of them with information about the hearing loss at the time of admission at the hospital and additionally at a follow-up examination (n = 309)) could be integrated in this study and another 2 in which the hearing gains –regardless of the initial hearing loss- according to the modified „Kanzaki“-criteria (n = 288)) have been evaluated- could be used for estimating the therapeutic effects of tympanoscopy with sealing of the round/oval windosw/s in patients with sudden deafness.The follow-up examination had to exceed a 3 weeks interval up from the time of the operation. It is shown that several methods of evaluation the median hearing loss (PTA4 and PTA5) in pure tone audiograms are suitable to be accepted for the analysis of hearing losses in order to compare the results of the treatment.In each study-group collected from literature and two study-groups of our own patients the hearing loss before therapy was significantly higher than that which had been measured at the follow-up examination.Patients in which tympanoscopy was combined with a systematic application of steroids in a „first-line-mode“ (n = 79) had a hearing loss of 94,1 dB. Their hearing improved up to a hearing level of 70,7 dB at the follow-up examination (hearing gain: 23,4 dB; n = 79). Those who first had got systematic steroids followed by the tympanoscopy („second-line-mode“) had an intitial hearing loss of 105,1 dB and a hearing gain of 38,6 dB. So the final hearing level reached 66,5 dB (n = 197).Median hearing thresholds still rose after detamponation of the external ear canal which was usually done 10 days after the operation up to the follow-up examination.Based on the modified „Kanzaki“-criteria 58,7 % of the patients had a restoration in their hearing exceeding 30 dB. In 18,7 % of the cases the hearing improvement was between 10 and 30 dB. 23,1 % of the patients didn`t profit from tympanoscopy.Indications for deciding to perform an explorative tymapnosocopy which are mentioned in literature are collected and discussed.Explorative tympanotomy including sealing of the round/oval window/s seems to be a very valuable method in treating sudden deafness especially when the hearing loss was severe, profound or even when the patients were totally deaf and the therapeutic procedure had been done sequentially after having performed a systematic steroid application before operation. Further studies have to find out if tympanoscopy used in a „first-line-mode“ can also be a method in which the hearing gain is successful enough that this form of therapy can also be recommended.

Abstract:
Admission is the most crucial leap taken by a student and the first step by an institute before they begin a journey for next couple of years. The anticipation and excitement exhibited by both institute and student during the admission process is enthralling yet engulfed with complexities and apprehensions. Multiple ways of evaluating candidates have been explored in the past with the likes of group discussions, personal interviews, aptitude tests, psychometric tests, behavioral tests, etc. They have evolved and have formed a part of the admission process. The process is time-consuming, effort-driven, and needs to be updated/modified constantly. This chapter addresses the concerns that candidates and institutes face during the admission process and how technology adoption can increase effectiveness while reducing the time required by institutes to enroll candidates.

Abstract:
In times of stringent emission standards for automotive and truck applications, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is used in IC engines to reduce NOx emissions by recirculating a portion of an engine’s exhaust gas. The amount of exhaust gas determined for EGR is withdrawn from the exhaust gas route and routed back into the combustion chamber. The recirculated exhaust gas acts as an inert gas and, when mixed with the pre-combustion mixture, helps to decrease the combustion temperature and thus NOx emissions. Designed for a diesel engine within a truck application, the turbine in this particular research project is fed by two cylinder groups, however, only the exhaust gas of one group is recirculated. The reduced mass flow in the small turbine scroll (EGR-scroll) through EGR withdrawal, along with the increased pressure required for EGR transport, leads to a massive reduction in the mass flow parameter of the EGR-scroll. The common turbocharger design process has been based on steady admission rather than unsteady admission given through the pulsating nature of multi-cylinder admission. This has lead to diverging results of turbochargers performing well on steady hot gas test rigs compared to performing badly in the final tests on the engine itself. In this paper however, unequal admission resulting from pulsating admission is taken into account. Based on unsteady admission, a methodology is proposed for steady computations with unequal admissions, and a thorough 3D CFD loss analysis is to be presented to understand the turbine behaviour, reveal the regions for improvements, and provide a framework for further development.

Abstract:
Infarct size, estimated by electrocardiographic changes (the QRS Scoring System, developed by Wagner et al, Circulation 65,342, 1982) and enzymatic analysis (creatinine kinase, CK) was studied in 45 patients with no history of previous infarcts. 25 received an intravenous dose of DDAVP (0.3 ug/kg) and 20 received a placebo solution (saline). The time between the onset of symptoms and DDVAP administration was less than 12 hours. The results showed no significant differences between the two groups in maximal or acumulative activity of creatinine kinase (CKr) or the QRS score peak. However, in patients with a mean evolution time of less than 1 hour, the CK peak was significantly lower in the DDAVP group than in the placebo group (p<0.05). Furthermore the percent of maximal increase in the QRS score was lower in the DDAVP group than in the patients receiving the placebo (p=0.1). On admission, the fibrinolytic activity of euglobulin fractions (measured by fibrin plates) was higher in the patients in both groups than in a group of healthy subjects (n=40). Also, DDAVP significantly increased fibrinolyric activity whereas no changes were found in patients receiving the placebo. The mean CKr value was lower in patients with an increase in fibrinolysis than in those who showed no changes in it. Finally, in the DDAVP group the QRS score peak was strongly dependent on the initial QRS score and, regarding this, our results suggest that small infarcts on admission may represent a potential indication for DDAVP therapy.

Abstract:
A new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) tends to have severe course in patients with cardiovascular disease, with routine laboratory tests predicting adverse outcomes in such patients. The results of studies of interplaying factors are contradictory and require further investigation. The aim was to analyze the parameters of general blood analysis, inflammatory response, cholesterol and hemostasis in the groups of patients who underwent COVID-19-associated pneumonia with cardiovascular comorbidity. The study was conducted in Veliky Novgorod from December 2020 to April 2022 during inpatient treatment of patients diagnosed with COVID-19-associated novel coronavirus infection. We analyzed 108 case histories of patients. The patient’s data was divided into 2 groups. Group I consisted of 86 patients with cardiovascular diseases at the time of admission. The control group consisted of 22 patients without concomitant cardiovascular diseases. The data of general blood analysis, biochemistry and hemostasis were assessed on the day of admission and on the day of discharge. Results. Average bed-days of patients with cardiovascular pathology were longer than in the control group; in addition, there was a correlation of the duration of hospitalization and CRP level with the initial level of total cholesterol. Also, positive correlation of CRP level with blood fibrinogen content was found, which was more expressed in patients with cardiovascular comorbidity. Conclusions. The results of our study, in general, do not contradict the results accumulated in the world. Those findings should be compared with other studies and to monitor COVID-19 disease trends.

Abstract:
Partial admission can improve the thermal efficiency of steam turbines at low loads, but a non-uniform flow in circumference will be caused inevitably at the same time. That makes control stage blade subject to complex load, leading to the high cycle fatigue. Therefore, it is important to calculate and accurately analyze transient response of control stage blade disk due to partial admission. However, the large number of degrees of freedom of the practical control stage blade disk will lead to an extremely high computational cost when the finite element method is used. A strategy for reducing the number of degrees of freedom based on the component modal synthesis (CMS) method is presented. CMS method is used to generate a super-element of one group of 4 blades. The cyclic symmetric property is used to generate super-elements for other groups of blades through circumferential rotation and coordinate transformation. The total number of degrees of freedom is reduced to 1.21% of the original DOF. When the rotating blades enter and leave the arc of admission under partial admission conditions, they are subject to the effect of shock loading. The length of the effect of shock loading depends on the rotating blade pitch and the peak of effect of shock loading depends on stage pressure ratio. The displacement response of control stage blade disk under different shock coefficients (1.6, 2.5, 4) is calculated. This paper analyses the vibrations of blade disk under high frequency force caused by nozzles under partial admission conditions. The results show that compared to the shock coefficient of 1.6 the maximum displacement response increased by 27.3% and 72.6% for shock coefficients 2.5 and 4. In addition, a beat phenomenon is found in displacement response of blade disk under high frequency force. The FFT of the response and excitation and the ZZENF of blade disk indicate that the composite vibration of 6050Hz, 6000Hz and 4900Hz these 3 kinds of harmonic vibrations is the main reason of the beat phenomenon.

Abstract:
It has been suggested that mortality due to upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage may be reduced by restricting blood transfusion [1], We have assessed whether this is due to an anticoagulant effect in a prospective randomised trial.One hundred patients with severe, acute gastrointestinal haemorrhage were randomised to receive either at least 2 units of blood during the first 24 hours of admission, or no blood unless their haemaglobin was lessthan 8g/dl or they were shocked. Minor bleeds and varices were excluded As hypercoagulation cannot be measured using conventional coagulation tests, fresh whole blood coagulation was measured by the Biobridge Impedance Clotting Time (ICT). Coagulation was assessed at 24 hour intervals and compared to age matched controls with the results expressed as mean ± sem.The ICT on admission for the transfusion group (n=50) was 3.2±0.2 mins compared to 10±0.2 mins in controls. This hyper-coagulable state was partially reversed to 6.4±0.3 mins at 24 hours (p<0.001). The 50 allocated to receive no blood had a similar ICT on admission of 4.4±0.4 mins but the hypercoagulable state was maintained with ICT at 24 hours of 4.320.4 mins. Only 2 patients not transfused rebled compared to 15 in the early transfusion group (p<0.001). Five patients died, and they were all in the early transfusion group.These findings show there is a hypercoagulable response to haemorrhage which is partially reversed by blood transfusion leading to rebleeding

Abstract:
Objectives. To assess the comparative effectiveness and potential harms of cervical ripening in the outpatient setting (vs. inpatient, vs. other outpatient intervention) and of fetal surveillance when a prostaglandin is used for cervical ripening. Data sources. Electronic databases (Ovid® MEDLINE®, Embase®, CINAHL®, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) to July 2020; reference lists; and a Federal Register notice. Review methods. Using predefined criteria and dual review, we selected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies of cervical ripening comparing prostaglandins and mechanical methods in outpatient versus inpatient settings; one outpatient method versus another (including placebo or expectant management); and different methods/protocols for fetal surveillance in cervical ripening using prostaglandins. When data from similar study designs, populations, and outcomes were available, random effects using profile likelihood meta-analyses were conducted. Inconsistency (using I2) and small sample size bias (publication bias, if ≥10 studies) were assessed. Strength of evidence (SOE) was assessed. All review methods followed Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Evidence-based Practice Center methods guidance. Results. We included 30 RCTs and 10 cohort studies (73% fair quality) involving 9,618 women. The evidence is most applicable to women aged 25 to 30 years with singleton, vertex presentation and low-risk pregnancies. No studies on fetal surveillance were found. The frequency of cesarean delivery (2 RCTs, 4 cohort studies) or suspected neonatal sepsis (2 RCTs) was not significantly different using outpatient versus inpatient dinoprostone for cervical ripening (SOE: low). In comparisons of outpatient versus inpatient single-balloon catheters (3 RCTs, 2 cohort studies), differences between groups on cesarean delivery, birth trauma (e.g., cephalohematoma), and uterine infection were small and not statistically significant (SOE: low), and while shoulder dystocia occurred less frequently in the outpatient group (1 RCT; 3% vs. 11%), the difference was not statistically significant (SOE: low). In comparing outpatient catheters and inpatient dinoprostone (1 double-balloon and 1 single-balloon RCT), the difference between groups for both cesarean delivery and postpartum hemorrhage was small and not statistically significant (SOE: low). Evidence on other outcomes in these comparisons and for misoprostol, double-balloon catheters, and hygroscopic dilators was insufficient to draw conclusions. In head to head comparisons in the outpatient setting, the frequency of cesarean delivery was not significantly different between 2.5 mg and 5 mg dinoprostone gel, or latex and silicone single-balloon catheters (1 RCT each, SOE: low). Differences between prostaglandins and placebo for cervical ripening were small and not significantly different for cesarean delivery (12 RCTs), shoulder dystocia (3 RCTs), or uterine infection (7 RCTs) (SOE: low). These findings did not change according to the specific prostaglandin, route of administration, study quality, or gestational age. Small, nonsignificant differences in the frequency of cesarean delivery (6 RCTs) and uterine infection (3 RCTs) were also found between dinoprostone and either membrane sweeping or expectant management (SOE: low). These findings did not change according to the specific prostaglandin or study quality. Evidence on other comparisons (e.g., single-balloon catheter vs. dinoprostone) or other outcomes was insufficient. For all comparisons, there was insufficient evidence on other important outcomes such as perinatal mortality and time from admission to vaginal birth. Limitations of the evidence include the quantity, quality, and sample sizes of trials for specific interventions, particularly rare harm outcomes. Conclusions. In women with low-risk pregnancies, the risk of cesarean delivery and fetal, neonatal, or maternal harms using either dinoprostone or single-balloon catheters was not significantly different for cervical ripening in the outpatient versus inpatient setting, and similar when compared with placebo, expectant management, or membrane sweeping in the outpatient setting. This evidence is low strength, and future studies are needed to confirm these findings.
