Analysis of polar diagrams comprising of hourly PPI images taken between 280800 UTC and 290200 UTC reveals interesting aspects of development of this Super Cyclone in terms of waxing and waning of eye size in relation to intensification process. The smallest radius of maximum reflectivity is in conformity with the colossal death toll observed close to the track of the super cyclone. Structural changes observed through radar images are in conformity with intensify changes as seen through other observing systems.

Abstract Background Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a serious public health concern. The state of Utah has the lowest percentage of adults 18-64 years-old ever tested for HIV (26.5%) and the lowest percentage tested for HIV in the previous 12 months (6.5%). Increasing HIV testing in Utah is of the utmost importance. Delayed diagnoses and missed testing opportunities for HIV and other STIs exist. Encounters for evaluation of possible gonorrhea (GC) or chlamydia (CT) infection is a critical opportunity to co-test for HIV and syphilis. With continued growth, urgent care (UC) sites are well-positioned to increase STI diagnosis and treatment. We aimed to develop a multi-faceted quality improvement (QI) bundle to increase STI testing in our UC centers. Methods Intermountain Healthcare (IH) is a vertically integrated healthcare network predominantly in Utah and operates a network of 35 UC clinics across the state. In 2020, qualitative interviews to evaluate barriers to STI testing were performed with UC clinicians. Based on these interviews a QI initiative was designed and implemented throughout 2021. The bundle included clinician education, electronic health record (EHR) improvements, and automatic referral for patients with a new diagnosis of HIV to an Infectious Diseases (ID) physician (Methods Image 1). We compared co-testing rates before (July 2018 – December 2020) and after the intervention began (March 2021 – April 2022). Methods Table 1 The quality improvement (QI) initiative began in 2021 and consisted of multiple components as detailed below. Results 13,715 and 5,628 UC encounters were associated with GC/CT testing during the pre-intervention and intervention periods, respectively. HIV co-testing was performed in 2,784 (20.3%) GC/CT testing encounters in the pre-intervention period and in 1,674 (29.7%) encounters during the intervention, a relative increase of 37.6%. HIV/syphilis co-testing was performed in 2,304 (16.8%) GC/CT testing encounters and 1,225 (21.8%) encounters during the pre-intervention and intervention phases, respectively. From January 1 2022 – April 1 2022 3 new outpatient HIV diagnoses were identified. The average time from diagnosis to contact with an ID provider was 30.0 hours. Results Image 1 Co-testing rates for GC/CT UC encounters are presented for HIV (blue), syphilis (green), and HIV/syphilis (orange). Testing reagent quality issues in early 2022 lead to an abrupt decline in syphilis co-testing and once these issues were resolved co-testing trends returned to similar rates prior to the reagent quality issue and testing limitation. Conclusion Multi-modal QI initiatives may increase STI testing rates within UC centers of integrated healthcare systems. Further study is needed to optimize STI screening, diagnosis, and care in UC centers. Disclosures Kimberly D. Brunisholz, PhD, MST, Johnson and Johnson: Advisor/Consultant.

This dissertation investigates card-image public access catalogues (CIPACs) – online library catalogues based on databases of digitized catalogue cards and more or less sophisticated mechanisms for browsing or searching. Solutions of this kind have been implemented by a number of libraries in various countries since the mid-1990s, mainly as inexpensive alternatives to a full retrospective conversion of their old catalogues. The general aim of the study is to build up an informed view of this area, by looking at the present spreading of CIPACs, their characteristics and navigational features, the problems and issues interconnected with their creation and implementation, and the awareness, behaviour and opinions of CIPAC users. In order to achieve these goals, several approaches were used. First, a comprehensive survey of existing CIPACs and their characteristics was undertaken; this also included the implementation and updating of an international CIPAC web-page. Second, the main issues in CIPAC creation and implementation were identified and discussed, based both on the relevant project literature and the answers of 23 libraries to a short unstructured questionnaire. Third, a webbased qualitative survey of 320 users of eleven CIPACs in four countries was conducted. The study shows that the CIPAC approach has to offer much to libraries that cannot afford to convert their large old catalogues as fast as they might wish. However, the absence of sophisticated search options, the problems that users often have with the interfaces offered for navigation, and the features of a past and mostly outdated generation of reference tools that these computerized card catalogues inherently carry suggest that they are at best acceptable as short or medium-term, but not as permanent alternatives to "real" OPACs.

This bachelor thesis describes the basic components of a guidance and orientation system which is discussed under special consideration of signage. The study clarify whether an applied signage within the design of the guidance and orientation system will improve the orientation in a library and beyond that if it will have impacts on the well-being of the user and furthermore on the image nof the library. The developed properties of a guidance and orientation system with a good information design are shown at two examples of public libraries: The Mediothek Krefeld and the cental public library Hamm. At the end of this thesis, I will summarize the results and give some preview of upcoming trends in the design of control and guidance systems.

This M.A. thesis evaluates and analyses the use of social tagging systems taking Flickr as an example. Hereby the focus lies on multilingualism and the resulting problems for searching images. First, an introduction in social tagging as well as and an overview on current studies on social tagging are given. Furthermore, Flickr and its system properties are presented as well as relevant studies on Flickr. For analyzing multilingualism on Flickr a user test was conducted. The results are presented and analyzed with focus on multilingualism.

Research that aims to define what city brand is, to study what has been written about it and what their theories are, from design and communication’s point of view. Also to study how the city brand is currently manifested in their graphic mark, and how this process should be, so that the outcome can endure over time and really talk about the brand city it represents.

This interdisciplinary research describes the theoretical and methodological foundations of content analysis of pictorial portraits, considering them as artistic texts whose visual and iconic discourse -with its properties, attributes, relationships, reference levels and representation systems- can be analyzed and verbalized through documentary representations in information systems. It proposes a theoretical model of content analysis that identifies and analyzes the production, use and reception contexts of the pictorial portraits. Later on it develops an applied methodology, specifically documentary that allows, the writing of summaries and controlled describers as the systematizing of the required sources of information. Finally it formulates an algorithm of analysis that works as standardized procedure and methodological norm. This algorithm systematizes the subject analysis and the documentary representation and sequences the levels of the later retrieval. It is a normalized format that structures the information in areas and later on in fields, each one of them picks up, as inventory, the relationships and the attributes. The theoretical pattern and the analysis methodology have been applied on a representative sample of 80 portraits painted by F. de Goya, between 1783 and 1828.

The targets of this concept are: delivering a catalog of requirements; the evaluation of tools; possible file formats (e.g. FITS) necessary for digitization and longtime preservation of the historical weather maps at ZAMG (Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics, Austria's national weather and geophysical service)

Оценки изменчивости географической среды крупных регионов одно из традиционных направлений Географии. При этом ряд исследователей, экологогеографического направления считают, что в настоящее время изучение нарушенности естественных экосистем (геосистем) одна из базовых проблем Географии. Состояние земельного покрова является одной из наиболее информативных характеристик при оценке изменений географической среды масштабных географических объектов. Относительно легко фиксируемый, лежащий на (земной) поверхности аспект трансформации естественных экосистем/геосистем это изменение структуры земельного покрова и связанной с этим системы землепользования. Практическая реализация данного подхода для мелкомасштабной оценки крупных регионов предполагает использование информации о состоянии земельного покрова, которая отвечает ряду требований. Информация должна быть, в первых однородной по методу получения, во вторых систематически обновляться. В большинстве стран этим требованиям отвечает в максимальной мере информация, которую продуцируют структуры ответственные за ведение Государственного Земельного Кадастра. В России это Росреестр в Канаде Canada Land Inventory, в КНР Ministry of Land and Resources of the Peoples Republic of China и др. Для формирования генерализованного представления о земельном покрове важен метод интеграции земельноресурсной информации, которая может быть получена при использовании данных Государственного земельного Кадастра. При мелкомасштабной характеристике земельных ресурсов береговой зоны Тихоокеанской России использовался метод выделения типов структур земельных ресурсов по административным районам на основании данных Государственного Земельного Кадастра. Monitoring and studying the dynamics of the state of the geographical space is a traditional direction of geographical research, which is carried out at various scale levels. In contemporary conditions, with the intensification of the processes of degradation of natural ecosystems (landscapes), the study of the disturbance of natural ecosystems and dynamics of habitats is becoming increasingly important, especially at the smallscale level. The state of land cover is one of the most informative characteristics in assessing changes in the geographic environment in the course of smallscale geographical assessments. Changes in the structure of land cover and the associated land use system are reflected in the state land inventory statistics. Practical implementation of a smallscale assessment of large regions involves the use of information on the state of land cover, which meets several requirements. Firstly, information should be homogeneous according to the method of its sourcing secondly it should be systematically updated. In most countries, the information produced by the institutions responsible for maintaining the state land inventory meets these requirements. It is Rosreestr in Russia, Canada Land Inventory in Canada, Ministry of Land and Resources in the Peoples Republic of China, and so on. Smallscale assessments of lands means a creation of a generalized image of the land cover of the study area, which can be based on integration of available landresource data from the State Land Inventory. Smallscale characteristics of land resources by administrative districts were used to define various types of land resources patterns in coastal areas of Pacific Russia. Selecting the enlarged types of land resource patterns enables to create an overview map that reflects the general patterns of the spatial differentiation of land cover of the area under study.
