Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this presentation is to report the results from a series of standardized exercises administered to experienced, disaster-emergency-responders on their “operational readiness.” Based on original research with Olympic athletes, these results include: a frontline-perspective of challenges in a disaster; a quantitative definition of “readiness;” and the creation of related performance indicators. A growing body of literature has drawn attention to the significance of mental-readiness skills in attaining peak performance in challenging situations. For example, we know that top-level athletes have particularly well-honed mental-readiness skills and that this fact has often separated those who win a gold medal from those who do not. In recent years, this research has been extended to other occupations, including the field of surgery, policing, and now disaster-emergency-response, and similar results were found. For example, in the study entitled “Gold Medal Policing: Mental Readiness and Performance Excellence” (McDonald, 2006), peak-performing police officers demonstrated excellent technical and physical skills but excelled in mental readiness skills. Traditionally, the focus of most core-competencies has been on the technical and physical skills necessary to perform the duties. Given what we now know about the significance of mental-readiness skills, we can specifically develop and formally recognize these skills. That is, in addition to seeking the technical and physical skills required of a job, particular emphasis is places on refining the mental skills that ultimately makes the difference between satisfactory performance and peak performance. The goal of any field-training, is to produce a competent, independent, functioning frontline-responder. Such a responder will demonstrate concrete, observable “performance indicators.” Current research on peak performers has been integrated into developing comprehensive performance indicators. This outcome can benefit the recruitment, selection, training and evaluation of professions seeking to enter into the unique world of disaster emergency medicine.

The workload is the difference between the ability of workers with job demands. If the ability of workers is higher than the demands of the job, then boredom will appear, and vice versa. The method used is the NASA TLX method, and the instrument used is the NASA-TLX questionnaire given to 16 respondents. Results and Discussion The average of the six indicators of shift 1 is an indicator of mental needs with an average value of 146.88, an indicator of physical needs with an average value of 237.5, an indicator of time needs with an average value of 140, a performance indicator with a value of an average of 119.38, an indicator of the level of effort with an average value of 247.88, an indicator of the level of frustration with an average value of 82.5. In conclusion, the mental workload level of the production workers for both shifts is included in the high workload category. The dominant indicators for the activities of the first shift workers in the production section are the level of effort indicators, indicators of physical needs, indicators of mental needs, indicators of time requirements, and performance indicators. . The dominant indicators in worker activity in Shift II in the production section are indicators of physical needs, levels of effort, indicators of time requirements, indicators of mental needs, performance indicators, and the last indicator is frustration.

Purpose:To examine the relationship between the South Carolina middle school physical education assessment results and the school characteristics. In addition, the relationship between teacher training attendance and student achievement were determined.Method:Student performance on four physical education indicators in 63 middle schools (and 116 teachers) were reported to the South Carolina Physical Education Assessment Program. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the relationships between school characteristics as predictors of the performance indicator. ANOVAs were conducted to determine the relationship to teacher training and the performance indicators.Results:Statewide averages of student performance indicated that slightly over 50% of middle school students were rated as competent in all physical education indicators except health-related fitness (31.2%). The variability was high among all indicators. The correlations between the poverty index and the physical education indicators were significant and low. Teachers who attended data collection training sessions scored higher on all performance indicators, particularly health-related fitness knowledge. Teachers who attended professional development had significantly higher scores on motor skills, health-related fitness knowledge, and the overall weighted scores and approached significance on the health-related fitness performance.Discussion/Conclusion:This study suggests that teachers and the programs they deliver have a greater impact on student learning than do school characteristics. Teacher training and professional development is warranted. Most compelling is that the results of this study provide a strong argument against the practice of using student scores from other academic content areas to evaluate teacher effectiveness in physical education.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional methods used to estimate an individual's physical working capacity have at least one disadvantage in common, namely, the demand for expensive equipment such as cycle ergometers or treadmills. Consequently, the search for suitable tests performed in the field has been extensive. Most field tests do, however, require a maximal performance from the subject. The present investigation compared two special field rests, walking and running, both of a submaximal character, with (a) a treadmill run test and (b) a standardized cycle ergometer test. The comparisons were made to judge whether these field tests have the potential to replace or complement laboratory tests in certain situations, for example, when the purpose is to monitor training progress over time. Correlations were generally high and statistically significant within as well as between tests. Higher values were observed between field running and the laboratory tests than with field walking. This was true especially for the higher reference levels. Despite this, field walking may still be the best alternative for elderly persons or subjects recovering from injury, since the results indicate that walking, when performed intensely enough, gives a fairly good estimate of an individual's physical working capacity.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the physical and financial performance of some primary dairy co-operatives in West Bengal state in India. It suggests that financial performance indicators dominate over physical ones, and all the dominating variables have long term positive impact on Primary milk Producers’ Cooperative Societies (PMPCSs). The significant impact of financial performance variables contributes to high profit efficiency for all primary dairy cooperative societies under study. When the profit efficiency is measured only on the basis of financial performance indicators the score of efficiency for all the PMPCSs lies between 90% and 100% level suggesting that all PMPCSs perform well when the performance of PMPCSs is judged only on the basis of financial performance indicators. But when they are judged by the combined effect of both physical and financial performance indicators, all PMPCSs are not performing well because the impact of physical performance variables differs significantly among them. These results seem to suggest that in order to strengthen the dairy development programme on co-operative line at the primary level more emphasis should be given to these dominating physical and financial performance variables in general and physical dominating variables in particular.

Full textAbstract:
Two different, commercial colourimetric CO2 indicators are made in the lab, namely one based on an indicator in solution for monitoring the level of dissolved CO2 in an aquarium, i.e., a drop check indicator, and another based on an ink, for monitoring the level of CO2 in breath (capnography), i.e., a correct tracheal placement indicator. The selected commercial indicators are limited currently in terms of the analytical information they provide (qualitative) as they are normally assessed by eye. Thus, in each case, for both the lab-made and commercial indicators, colour photography coupled with digital image analysis, i.e., digital colour analysis (DCA), is used to convert the colour data from the indicator into a quantitative measure of CO2 and so markedly improve the quality of the analytical information provided by original indicator. This is the first time either indicator has been studied as a quantitative analytical system. The CO2 sensitivity of each of the lab-made indicators is found to match well that of its commercial counterpart. A simple program is provided to help non-experts and experts alike to apply DCA in this way. The potential of DCA to enhance the performance of other commercial indicators is discussed briefly.

The aim of this study was to identify indictors of performance in surfing. Therefore the objectives of the study were to determine the following: {u100085} Anthropometric measures such as: height, weight, body proportions; {u100085} Flexibility measures such as: back extension, hip flexion, ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion; {u100085} Core stability; {u100085} Dynamic balance; {u100085} Explosive leg power; {u100085} Which of the physical characteristics measured discriminate between elite and non-elite surfers. To achieve the aim and objectives of this study, the literature pertaining to excellence in surfing, and the theory surrounding talent identification and the many factors that can contribute to success in sport, were reviewed. Potential criteria important for performance in surfing were identified and appropriate tests to assess these criteria were selected. An ex post facto quasi experimental design was used to assess which of the identified criteria best discriminated between elite and non-elite surfboard riders. The test battery included a personal information questionnaire and the assessment of: anthropometric variables, flexibility, core stability, dynamic balance and explosive leg power. These abovementioned physical characteristics were identified from the literature as the factors most important to success in surfing. Fifty five (55) surfers were assessed of which 28 were elite surfers and 27 were non-elite surfers. The results obtained from the evaluation of the samples were compared in terms of their descriptive statistics and the differences tested for statistical and practical significance. The variables of height, age started surfing, core stability, dynamic balance, number of days surfed per week and number of hours surfed per day were found to most discriminate between the elite and non-elite participants. Finally, a stepwise discriminant analysis was used to determine classification functions that could be used for future prediction purposes. The variables included in the discriminant analyses included height, age started surfing, number of years surfing, core stability and dynamic balance. To verify the prediction model a jack-knife procedure was performed. The results from the jack-knife procedure indicated that 85.5 perecent of the entire sample was correctly classified while 92.9 percent of the elite sample and 77.8 percent of the non-elite sample were correctly classified. Thus, the discriminant functions obtained can be used for predictive purposes.

Previous issue date: 2005-11-18The present work has as objective to present a proposal for monitoring of the service level to systems of physical distribution of products that seeks to bring improvements to the delivery process of the companies that act in the beverages segment. By means of an extensive literature review and of the case study accomplished in a company of beverage segment, it became possible to map all distribution process and identify the variables that affect it s performance, concentrating the monitor on the indicators of costs, productivity, use of resources, efficiency and route come back. Regarding that physical distribution of products absorbs significant portion of the budget expenses of the organizations, this activity has occupied a prominence paper in the logistics problems of the companies. That is due, on a side, to the growing cost of the capital (financial cost), that forces the companies to reduce the stocks and the handling activity, transports and distribution of your products beyond own competition. The model was applied and it presented satisfactory results that allowed the company to identify, measure, analyze, improve and control the level service of your distribution system. The proposal contemplates a systematic accompaniment of the indicators and its performance, along the year of 2004 and, with possibility of definitions or revision of the goals as well as the comparison with other periods.
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma proposta de monitoramento do nível de serviço para sistemas de distribuição física de produtos que vise trazer melhorias ao processo de entrega das empresas que atuam no segmento de bebidas. Mediante extensa revisão de literatura e do estudo de caso realizado em uma empresa do segmento de bebidas, tornou-se possível mapear todo o processo de distribuição e identificar as variáveis que afetam o seu desempenho, concentrando o monitoramento nos indicadores de custos, produtividade, utilização de recursos, eficiência e retorno de rota. Considerando que a distribuição física de produtos absorve parcela significativa do orçamento de despesas das organizações, essa atividade passou a ocupar um papel de destaque nos problemas logísticos das empresas. Isso se deve, de um lado, ao custo crescente do capital (custo financeiro), que força as empresas a reduzir os estoques e a agilizar o manuseio, transporte e distribuição de seus produtos além da própria concorrência. O modelo foi aplicado e apresentou resultados satisfatórios que permitiram a empresa identificar, medir, analisar, melhorar e controlar o nível de serviço de seu sistema de distribuição. A proposta contempla um acompanhamento sistemático dos indicadores e seus resultados, ao longo do ano de 2004 e, com possibilidade de definições ou revisão das metas bem como a comparação com outros períodos.

Full textAbstract:
Ao longo dos últimos 20 anos, o modelo de concessão de serviço público no Brasil, tem evoluído consideravelmente, com destaque para o setor elétrico, e especialmente o segmento de transmissão de energia elétrica. O arcabouço normativo vigente tem buscado garantir a prestação adequada do serviço mediante a avaliação de desempenho do serviço prestado, por empresas públicas ou privadas, numa visão da qualidade do produto e da continuidade ou disponibilidade do serviço para o usuário. Concomitantemente, surgiu e desenvolveu-se rápida e globalmente, o conceito de sustentabilidade, no qual o desenvolvimento sustentável deve satisfazer as necessidades da geração atual, sem que se comprometam as necessidades das gerações futuras (World Comission on Environment and Development WCED), compreendendo essencialmente as três dimensões econômica, social e ambiental (conceito de Triple Bottom Line 3BL), permitindo a captura do impacto das atividades das empresas e organizações por meio de indicadores definidos para cada uma das três dimensões. Ainda, nesse contexto, desenvolveu-se as novas técnicas de planejamento estratégico e de gestão de desempenho, baseados em indicadores, com destaque para a Teoria das Partes Interessadas (Stakeholders). Adicionalmente, os diversos métodos de avaliação econômica e de demonstração contábil das empresas também realizaram um movimento de convergência internacional, principalmente, para aplicação de análise de risco e de avaliação do valor adicionado, com uso do fluxo de caixa dos benefícios esperados, incluído o período da perpetuidade ou valor residual/terminal; e de padrões contábeis internacionais (a IFRIC 12), que altera a estrutura de composição do ativo, uma vez que a norma não permite o reconhecimento da infraestrutura relacionada à concessão no ativo imobilizado das concessionárias, prática atualmente comum no Brasil. Nesse contexto, o presente trabalho propõe a formulação de um novo indicador para a prestação do serviço público de transmissão de energia elétrica, a partir das informações sistematizadas nos Procedimentos de Rede do Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico (ONS) referentes aos diversos indicadores de desempenho apurados para a operação e manutenção da transmissão de energia elétrica, visando facilitar o acompanhamento da gestão dos ativos físicos, quanto aos requisitos contratuais de atualidade e conservação do serviço adequado, mediante a avaliação da perda ou ganho na expectativa de vida útil dos componentes ou das funções de transmissão, a partir de uma idade determinada, ou seja, indicador de longevidade dos ativos físicos da concessão de transmissão de energia elétrica. Além disso, este mesmo indicador de longevidade pode ser usado na avaliação do valor de perpetuidade (estimativa do valor terminal) de empresas, quer pelo método tradicional de projeção dos fluxos de caixa descontado da perpetuidade ou pela simples abordagem comparativa da expectativa de vida útil ao final do período de concessão dos prestadores do serviço público.Over the past 20 years, the model of public service concessions in Brazil, has evolved considerably, especially in the electricity sector, and the transmission segment of electricity. The existing regulatory framework has sought to ensure the proper provision of the service through the performance evaluation of the service provided by public or private, in view of product quality and continuity of service or availability to the user. Concomitantly, emerged and developed rapidly and globally, the concept of sustainability, in which \"sustainable development should meet the needs of present generation without compromising the needs of future generations\" (World Commission on Environment and Development - WCED) comprising essentially three economic, social and environmental (concept of Triple Bottom Line - 3BL), allowing you to capture the impact of corporate activities and organizations by means of indicators defined for each of the three dimensions. Still, in this context, new techniques of strategic planning and performance management were developed, based on indicators, notably the Theory of Stakeholders. Additionally, the various methods of economic evaluation and financial statement of companies have also made a movement of international convergence, especially for application of risk analysis and assessment of value added, using the cash flow of the expected benefits, including the period perpetuity or the residual value or terminal value, and international accounting standards (IFRIC 12), which alters the structure of asset composition, since the standard does not permit the recognition of infrastructure related to the granting of fixed assets in utilities, currently common practice in Brazil. In this context, this paper proposes the formulation of a new indicator for the provision of public electric power transmission, from the systematic information in the Grid Procedures of the Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico (ONS) for the different performance indicators established for the operation and maintenance of electric power transmission, to facilitate monitoring of the management of physical assets, the contractual requirements of current conservation and appropriate service, by assessing the loss or gain in life expectancy of the components or the functions transmission, from a certain age, ie, an indicator of longevity of the physical assets of the granting of electric power transmission. Furthermore, this same indicator of longevity can be used in assessing the value of perpetuity (estimated terminal value) of companies or by the traditional method of projection of cash flows discounted perpetuity or for the simple approach of comparative life expectancy of the end of the concession of public service providers.

Effects of feeding Moringa oleifera leaf meal as an additive on growth performance of chicken, physico- chemical shelf-life indicators, fatty acids profiles and lipid oxidation of broiler meat The main objective of the study was to determine the effect of M.oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) as an additive on growth performance, carcass characteristics, physico-chemical shelf-life indicators (colour, ultimate pH, driploss), fatty acids profiles and lipid oxidation of meat from broilers. A total of 432 1day old unsexed broiler chicks (Aviane 48) were randomly allocated to four dietary treatments (TRTS) in 72 cages. There were 18 cages per treatment and each cage allocated 6 chicks. Water and feed was provided at ad libitum. The feeding phases were, prestarter (0-7 Days), starter (8-18 Days), grower (19-28 Days), finisher (29-35 Days). The four TRTS contained graded levels of MOLM at 1000g/ton, 750g/ton, 500g/ton, and 0g/ton (control), respectively. The birds were slaughtered at 35 days of age. Breast muscles were sampled for meat, ultimate pH (pHu ), colour, drip loss over a 7 days shelf-life test. After each day’s test sub-samples were dipped in liquid nitrogen and kept at -180 C for thiobarbituric acid reactive substances determination. On Day1 and Day 7 extra sub-samples were also kept at -180 C for fatty acids analysis.The TRTS had no effect on average feed intake (AFI), feed conversion efficiency (FCE), and on average daily gain (ADG). Slaughter weight (SW), carcass weight (CW), dressing percentage and gizzard weight (GW) values were similar in all TRTS. Liver weight (LW), heart weight (HW), and gastro-intestinal fat (GIF) differed in all the TRTS, with treatment 2 having the highest value of HW (28.3±2.55), and LW (44.2±1.60) was the highest on treatment 4 . The pH values in all TRTS were constant from Day1 to Day5, reached peak on Day6, and then declined on Day7. Meat from broilers given treatment 1 with MOLM (1000g/ton) had the highest lightness (L*) values. The redness (a*) values were the highest in meat from treatment 2 (750g/ton MOLM). Treatments had no effect on yellowness (b*) values and on drip loss of the breasts. During storage L* values were high from Day1 to Day5 and decreased from Day6 to Day7. Drip loss increased with storage time as expected. Treatment 4 (control) had the highest proportions of poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (30.3±1.87). Treatment 1 (1000g/ton) had the highest proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFA) (60.9±1.87). Treatment 1 (1000g/ton) had the highest proportion of SFA (60.9±4.30). Treatment 2 (750g/ton) had the highest n-6/n-3 ratio than other TRTS. Days had no effect (P>0.05) on PUFA, SFA, and n-6/n-3 ratio. Treatment 1 had a highest amount of malondialdehyde (MDA), treatment 4 had no effect (P>0.05) on MDA . Storage time had an effect (P<0.05) on MDA levels, except for on Day1 and Day7. Day2 had the highest amount of MDA (0.7±0.08). The use of MOLM as an additive in broiler diets reduced lipid oxidation in meat, and maintained the quality of the broiler meat during storage. It also did not have any adverse effects on the growth performance of broilers. Therefore, it has the potential to be used as an additive in broiler diets.

The purpose of this study was to produce a set of physical education learning performance indicators for elementary and high schools in Taiwan. The physical education learning performance indicators would be used as criteria for judging and improving physical education teaching quality and as guidelines for education reform. In order to develop the physical education learning performance indicators, this study expected firstly to explore: (1) the conceptions of learning performance indicators, (2) Analysis the physical education objectives and content in several countries, (3) Review the functions and components of learning performance indicators and learning standards and (4) group decision-making methods for developing learning performance indicators. Secondly, the Delphi technique was employed to collect various views and aggregate consensus from a panel of 15 experts, consisting of educational scholars, principals, physical educators, and leaders of non-official education and business management institutes. An initial inventory of learning performance indicators was compiled from the above literature review and panel discussion. A three-round Delphi was conducted to rate the importance of the learning performance indicators, and all participants completed and returned their questionnaires in each round. A set of 50 important academic indicators was selected on the basis of aforementioned study procedures. These learning performance indicators were divided into five categories including: cognitive, motor skill, social behavior, exercise habit, and physical fitness. The conclusions of this study are as follows: 1.The physical education learning performance indicators could be used as an effective means of evaluation of students learning levels. 2.The construct of the physical education learning performance indicators should focus on both objective and evaluation system. 3.The adoption of Delphi technique in establishing the physical education learning performance indicators is helpful in accumulating different opinions and forming consensus. 4.The established of physical education learning performance indicators from a panel of experts which to aggregate consensus, were proved to be highly feasible. Finally, this study recommends some suggestions for applying the physical education learning performance indicators and provides suggestions for the references of related authorities and further research.

This research aimed to establish a measure for performance appraisal for physical therapists (PT) in hospital setting. Based on the knowledge derived from literature review, standards of the new hospital accreditation, and interview with clinical experts, a pretest questionnaire was first developed. Sixteen experts from clinical and academic settings were recruited in order to reform the questionnaire using modified Delphi Technique. Performance indicators were added, removed, or adjusted according to the responses collected from the recruited experts. Through repeating process of compiling responses and revising the questionnaire, the final framework of performance appraisal was established when the experts reached consensus. Afterward, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to determine the weighting system and relative importance of each indicator. At beginning, the pretest questionnaire consisted of 35 performance indicators that can be categorized into four dimensions. Five clinical experts were invited to provide their opinions and suggestions on revising the pretest questionnaire. Those five respondents demonstrated high agreement on the pretest questionnaire (Cronbach’s α = 0.887). In order to conduct modified Delphi Technique, questionnaires were distributed twice to 16 experts and response rates were both reached 100 percent. Through the process of modified Delphi Technique, 30 important indicators (M>3.75) within four dimensions that reached consensus (SD<1) was kept in the performance appraisal measure. Sixteen questionnaires for AHP then distributed to the experts team. The response rate for the AHP questionnaire was 93.75% and the effective rate was 80%. After AHP analysis, five most weighted performance indicators were honesty and fair (10.9%), worksite ethics (8.8%), organizational identification (7%), work coordinated in team (5.4%), and responsibility (5.2%). Managers in medical department should consider the characteristics of health profession and current condition of medical industry to adjust performance indicators. Meanwhile, feedback from subordinators should be taken into account in order to promote two-way communication. As result, this research developed a practical and objective measure for PT performance appraisal. This measure can also provide a foundation for communication between PT manager and subordinators.

Abstract The purpose of the study was to explore the key factors of the performance indicators for the sustainable management of physical education classes in high schools in Taichung City. Interviews with experts and questionnaires survey were used in the study. Participants were selected from group leaders, teachers, and specialized coaches of physical education in high schools. The researcher developed the Questionnaire Survey on the Performance Indicators for Sustainable Management of Physical Education Classes to collect data for constructing the weight of operating system to assess performance indicators. Based on the data analyses, the main conclusions of study are listed as follows: 1. The performance indicators for the sustainable management of physical classes are classified into research themes, 5 focus dimensions, and 17 performance indicators which are relevant to and consistent with the current evaluation project of PE classes. 2. In terms of the overall weight of operating system, among the 5 focus dimensions of sustainable management, teachers are the most influential factor, followed by students. Professional and humanized teachers who are responsible for the recruitment and care of students have significant effects on the sustainable management of PE classes. 3. Among the 17 performance indicators, professional teachers are ranked first for the overall weight value influencing the sustainable management of PE classes, followed by student admission, continuing studies and job access, school equipment and facilities, and then involvement in physical education. These indicators demonstrate that successful management of PE classes not only needs hard and soft ware, but also needs supports from the administrative organizations and schools; and then the turning point of sustainable management of PE classes will be seen. 4. Performance indicators will be more objective and more efficient through the way of quantity and standardization with the quantified value between 0 and 1. The weight value of five focus dimensions is different from that of items in the current evaluation project. Therefore, the findings of the study may be used for reference to review evaluation performance in the future.

Pursuit of excellence is a goal in the development of higher education institutions; hence, “university ranking” has recently become a critical reference for each university’s recruitment policies and institutional development. Having reviewed various indicators for university ranking and discipline ranking, “physical education &; sports” was seldomly cited. As a matter of fact, university ranking compares not only excellence of academic studies, physical education development facilities and environment, students’ sports culture, physical education activities and performance have been considered the key constituent conditions to attract future students and for the goal of all-person education. Based upon the assertion above, the research developed a series of indicators for the assessment of so-called “physical education performance”, which are both objective and easy to be manipulated. The methodology of the research was Fuzzy Delphi method to conduct the survey of the PE administrators in most higher education institutions in Taiwan and then triangular fuzzy numbers and deviations among different background of the interviewees had been calculated. The results of the research are as follows: 1. 5 different dimensions and their weights are: sports facilities resources(11.60 %), PE promotion resources(34.45 %), PE teaching staff resources(21.22 %), PE activity performance(22.22 %), sports contest performance(10.51 %) have been concluded after statistical analyses. 2. 9 indicators and their weights are: Average sports space for each student(11.60 %), PE administrative structure(11.81 %), whether PE achievement included as one of conditions for graduation(11.00 %), number of years for mandatory PE courses(11.64 %), teacher-student ratio for full-time PE teaching staff(11.08 %), academic performance for full-time PE teaching staff(10.14 %), number of college’s promotion activities for PE and their attendance(11.73 %), proportion of students involved with sports clubs(10.49 %), college’s achievement in the intermural sport contests and nationwide college sport contest(10.51 %). 3. Private higher education institutions favors PE achievement as graduation conditions than public ones. 4. “The Berlin Principle on Ranking of Higher Education Institutions” is suitable for constructing the university rankings indicators in self-testing for future research. Based on the conclusions of the research, the researchers hope to conduct the data-collecting survey along the indicators above in order to pave the way for the betterment of university ranking system in Taiwan in the near future.

Full textAbstract:
The demand for critical care is on the rise and is expected to grow significantly in coming decades. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a relevant outcome measure for patients recovering from critical illness. This chapter addresses several key questions about HRQoL, namely: Why measure HRQoL in critically ill patients? What do we mean with HRQoL? Which HRQoL instruments are being used? How to estimate HRQoL before ICU admission, and what is the impact of critical illness on HRQoL, particularly in the elderly? This chapter also addresses the phenomenon of response shift in survivors of critical illness related to their perceived HRQoL. It is argued that HRQoL measures for physical and psychological factors, functional status, and social interactions should be incorporated as standard quality indicators of ICU performance. These measurements will provide further insight on long-term post-ICU recovery and might be used to evaluate and track the utility of follow-up clinics after hospital discharge.

Full textAbstract:
Physical exercise regulates energy balance and is important to growth and maturation. These processes are regulated by the endocrine system. Endocrine mechanisms in the response to sport training include growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor-1 (GH-IGF-1), hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axes, and peripheral markers of energy homeostasis. Physical performance is associated with anabolic adaptations of the GH-IGF-1 system in child athletes alongside spontaneous growth, while heavy training does not affect basal testosterone levels. In female adolescent athletes, the major factor altering reproductive hormone secretion is energy deficiency, rather than exercise stress or increase in exercise energy expenditure. Ghrelin is another indicator of energy imbalance across the menstrual cycle. Pubertal onset decreases ghrelin, and leptin levels are reduced and may remain unchanged between prepuberty and maturation in athletes. To better understand the influence of high training load on hormonal markers responsible for overall growth and energy homeostasis, growing athletes should be monitored often.

Traditional fears and misinformed concerns regarding youth resistance training have been replaced by scientific evidence that indicates regular participation in well-designed resistance-training programmes can be safe and effective for both children and adolescents. In addition to increasing muscular strength and power, regular participation in a structured resistance training-programme can increase bone mineral density, improve cardiovascular risk factors, fuel metabolic health, facilitate weight control, enhance psychosocial well-being, and prepare youth for the demands of daily physical activity and sport. An integrative approach to training, grounded in resistance exercise and motor skill development, can optimize children’s fitness potential and maximize their athletic performance while reducing the risk of sports-related injury. Qualified professionals are needed to plan, implement and progress developmentally appropriate resistance training to attain a level of muscular fitness that facilitates long-term physical development.

Light, distance and motion are prominent features in Heine’s ‘Am fernen Horizonten’. A city is veiled in dusk, the sun rises from the earth and the boatman rows with sad strokes. Using empirical findings on cross-modal and affective associations with sounds, we examine Schubert’s interpretation and illustration of these metaphorical dimensions in ‘Die Stadt’. Focusing on local variations in tempo and dynamics, we analyse how the emotional and cross-modal connotations of the song are modified in three performances, provindinginsight into the interrelationship between cross-modal and affective connotations of musical sound. Such interrelationships may suggest complex and often equivocal musical meanings. For example, emotional ‘distance’ is associated with physical distance, as modulated by loudness; visual brightness, as modulated by pitch and timbre, can be painful when unveiling a ‘dark’ memory. Thus, our analysis indicates how musical structures and contours may suggest and interact with perceptual and metaphorical shape in multiple dimensions.

AbstractCompetitive industrial transmission systems must perform most efficiently with reference to complex requirements and conflicting key performance indicators. This design challenge translates into a high-dimensional multi-objective optimization problem that requires complex algorithms and evaluation of computationally expensive simulations to predict physical system behavior and design robustness. Crucial for the design decision-making process is the characterization, ranking, and quantification of relevant sources of uncertainties. However, due to the strict time limits of product development loops, the overall computational burden of uncertainty quantification (UQ) may even drive state-of-the-art parallel computing resources to their limits. Efficient machine learning (ML) tools and techniques emphasizing high-fidelity simulation data-driven training will play a fundamental role in enabling UQ in the early-stage development phase.This investigation surveys UQ methods with a focus on noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) characteristics of transmission systems. Quasi-static 3D contact dynamic simulations are performed to evaluate the static transmission error (TE) of meshing gear pairs under different loading and boundary conditions. TE indicates NVH excitation and is typically used as an objective function in the early-stage design process. The limited system size allows large-scale design of experiments (DoE) and enables numerical studies of various UQ sampling and modeling techniques where the design parameters are treated as random variables associated with tolerances from manufacturing and assembly processes. The model accuracy of generalized polynomial chaos expansion (gPC) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) is evaluated and compared. The results of the methods are discussed to conclude efficient and scalable solution procedures for robust design optimization.

AbstractManufacturing process real-time optimization has been one of the main digital twins’ operations. It is of utmost importance to the processes, since it enables the feedback of a digital twin towards the real world. However, it is quite difficult to be implemented, since it requires modelling of the process, adaptivity of both the model and the process, real-time communication and link to other functionalities. Under the framework of formalizing such activities, the current work attempts to categorize the types of manufacturing process real-time optimization and show their limitations. For the sake of simplicity, generic process models are adopted and then the requirements for the process control are given, driving the aforementioned definitions. Specific numerical examples are used to illustrate the definitions, while the latter presented herein span all categories of real-time optimization as well as all manufacturing performance indicators. Finally, both mathematically and physics-wise, the limitations are discussed.

The industrial communication networks are the infrastructures to connect the bottom field devices and control devices in the factory, which realize the interconnection and interoperability of intelligent manufacturing. Its communication quality is a prerequisite to ensure the normal operation and production in the factory. According to the layered functions of industrial communication network protocol, this paper establishes a communication quality indicator system, consisting of physical layer waveform characteristic indicators and time characteristic indicators, data link layer performance indicators and function indicators, and application layer behavior related indicators. The general process of industrial field communication quality diagnosis and evaluation is proposed. Through the detection of industrial communication quality indicator parameters, the possible problems in the field can be diagnosed and evaluated, thus the rapid location of communication anomalies or faults in the industrial field can be achieved.

Quantitative data quality descriptors are important for evaluating and communicating acceptability of information used in environmental monitoring and assessment. In this chapter, we present (1) the rationale for establishing and using performance measures and MQOs in routine quality control planning and analysis, (2) field and laboratory methods for capturing input data required for performance calculations, and (3) approaches for setting data acceptability thresholds and determining the need for corrective actions. Relevant examples are available from local, regional, and national programs in the U.S. charged with monitoring and assessing aquatic biological condition, physical habitat, contaminants, and toxicity testing. We will describe techniques for calculating and determining acceptability of performance measures, such as, among other data quality indicators, precision, accuracy, sensitivity, representativeness, and completeness of field sampling, laboratory processing, and data management and analysis. Data types on which these examples will be based include benthic macroinvertebrates, fish assemblage, tissue body burden, laboratory analytical and toxicity testing, physical habitat, selected geomorphic characteristics, and algal toxins.

The physical activity has been shown to be beneficial to indicators of physical, mental, and psychosocial health in child and adolescent populations. In this way, there is a growing interest in the effect of physical activity on cognitive outcomes, because there are some evidences about the influence of physical activity and his efficacious and low-cost health behavior on cognitive and brain development in children and adolescents. However, the effects of regular physical activity on cognitive performance in children have been inconsistent in the literature and not enough study in childhood education. For this reason, the aim of this chapter will be focused in many aspects to take into account to create a proposal to increase the physical activity levels to improve the attentional and concentration levels in children from 3 to 6 years old.

The scientific work presents a detailed analysis of the 17-19 years young men morphofunctional status screening studies. The young men who took part in the research did not have any pathologies in their health and belonged to the main medical group. To effectively address the goal of the study, a wide range of methods typical of researches in the field of physical culture and sports was used. A total of 34 indicators were studied, including 23 direct measurements. The reliability of the obtained results is confirmed by adequate theoretical substantiation of scientific positions and research apparatus, highly informative and reliable research methods, optimal duration, correctness of processing, analysis and interpretation of the obtained data. The relevance of the chosen topic is confirmed by the results of the study, which were based on knowledge of age anatomy, age physiology, hygiene of physical culture and sports. Analysis of the young men morphological condition individual results in pre-conscription age indicates incomplete formation of the musculoskeletal system, and the circumferential size of the waist and hips, which exceeded physiological norms indicate the presence of excess body weight. There is a significant asymmetry between the results of wrist dynamometry, the difference between the strength of the right hand and the left hand is 6.2 kg. Studies of the body composition revealed that the average group performance of muscle and bone components of the young men aged 17-19 years is below the physiological norm. The range of muscle component values ranges from a minimum of 36.2% to a maximum of 78.7%, indicating sample heterogeneity. Studies of cardiovascular parameters revealed: heart rate at rest, which exceeded the physiological norm in 26.3% of test subjects, signs of bradycardia in 7.6% of test subjects, signs of hypotension were found in 4.7% of test subjects, signs of hypertension were found in 18.4% of test subjects. We found 7.6% of young men with the pulse pressure exceeded the permissible threshold. The vast majority, which is 70.7% of the studied young men of pre-conscription age, had individual results of endurance coefficient in the range of 17-29 s.u., which indicates a weakened activity of the cardiovascular system. Low individual indicators of lung vital capacity are observed at 8.3% of young men, and are in the range of 2.6-2.9 l. 10.1% of young men with individual respiratory rate results significantly higher than the age norm were also found. In the course of the study, we found that only 19.1% of pre-conscription youth had individual results of the hypoxia index which corresponded to the age norm. The individual results of the Rufier test in pre-conscription young men were distributed as follows: 7.9% have above average level of physical working capacity, 37.2% have average level of physical working capacity, 42.3% have satisfactory level, 12.6% have low level of physical working capacity. It should be noted that as a result of the study we did not find any young men who would have a high level of physical capacity.

Telemedicine solutions help improve the delivery of and access to healthcare services. The recent pandemic has given a burst to the use of telemedicine services, allowing to overcome or set aside, at least temporarily, some of the difficulties which usually hamper the implementation of innovative services. It has also spurred a new attention to the issues of access to healthcare services, and to the role telemedicine services could play in overcoming or reducing the physical distance between patients and healthcare premises. This study makes a preliminary step to sharpen the topics for the Piedmont region. Data retrieved from the Regional Health Information System are used to profile the health mobility pattern in the regional local areas, through a set of spatial performance indicators. A few hypotheses of the possible impact of telemedicine on health mobility are formulated and their impact is investigated in an exploratory analysis of the regional health flows.

Introduction: Physical activity (PA) performed at recommended levels is associated with mul-tiple health benefits. However, as indicated by the available studies, the volume of habitual physical activity of children continuously decreases. Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the relationships between physical activity per-formed by school-age population and indicators of motor performance and body composition. Methods: The research group consisted of 144 students of the primary school assigned into groups according to the years of study (first, fifth and eighth-year students). The amount of physical activity was examined through a non-direct method, using Fels PAQ, recording four scores, namely sport index, leisure index, work (chore) index and total score. Body composition was tested using a direct segmental multi-frequency bioelectric impedance analysis (DSM-BIA). Motor performance was assessed in four categories. Endurance and strength endurance were assessed using Jacik’s motor test; strength abilities were measured using a hand grip test; speed abilities were tested in linear sprints at 5 and 10 meters and in the test of speed with changes of direction at 4 x 10 m and, finally, explosive strength was assessed from results of the countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ) and 10-second repeated jumps tests. The strength of association between the selected factors was determined from the results using the Spearman’s rank correlation analysis. Results: The amount of physical activity was mainly associated with the indicators of active body mass (fat free mass, skeletal muscle mass) in all age categories. Low association was found in the parameters of adipose tissue (body fat percentage, visceral fat level). When assessing the strength of association between the characteristics of motor performance and physical activity performed, we observed various courses of associations, based on which it is not possible to determine the tendency. When assessing the relationship between the amount of physical activity and motor performance of students regardless of age, we found medium association only with indicators of strength abilities (hand grip test) and characteris-tics of speed abilities. Conclusions: The results are not explicit but they point to some tendencies in relationships between habitual physical performance and body composition indicators. With respect to mo-tor performance, it is not possible to consider these results decisive; therefore, further data collection and more accurate assessment of relationships are necessary.

While in the physical world this system of measurement holds sway, what about in the realm of managing our operations and businesses? Do we have a comparable Système International d'Unités for measuring operational effectiveness? If we do have measures, are they measures that drive increased effectiveness or only document the tale of less than stellar past performance? This paper deals with how to identify, develop, and utilize Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to drive greater operational effectiveness.

Taekwon-do requires explosive strength, flexibility, and balance. The problem of defining factor structures and identifying the major factors for physical development and motor ability is of particular importance for the training process. The aim of the present study was to optimize the major factors of physical development and motor ability of 9–12-year-old males Taekwon-Do ITF athletes. Methodology: The study was carried out in March – May 2019. The research was aimed at studying the major indicators of physical development and motor ability of 9–12-year-old males. It was done among 99 Taekwon-Do athletes (n=99, 10.58 ± 1.13 years, 148.06 ± 11.06 cm, 42.77 ± 11.61 kg) from 9 local Taekwon-do clubs in Bulgaria. Athletes were tested along 16 indicators of physical development and 12 indicators of motor ability. Results: There were 3 factors that explained a total of 89.48% of the initial variance in physical development in males of this age. The test battery contained 16 indicators for testing physical development and after performing the factor analysis, the number was optimized to 3. There were 4 factors that explained a total of 69.15 % of the initial variance in motor ability in males of this age. The test battery contained 12 indicators for testing motor ability and after performing the factor analysis, the number was optimized to 4. Conclusion: Optimizing and reducing the number of factors for physical development and motor ability at the age of 9-12 years would improve the training process in taekwondo sports. In this way, coaches’ efforts would be able to target the highest factor weight indicators that would be most affected by the training load applied. Optimizing factors to control athletic achievement would improve athletic performance.

<p>In the context of Asset Management, measuring the performance of each asset or the performance of a specific group of assets plays a vital role in all asset-intensive organisations, depending on large amounts of physical equipment or assets. This paper describes the development of multi-asset performance indicators made by Infraestruturas de Portugal, S.A. (IP), a process started in 2015. IP is currently the organisation managing the most valuable stock of assets in Portugal, comprising more than 15.000 km of roads, 2.600 km of railways, more than 7.500 bridges as well as other sub- systems. Managing in an integrated way such diverse asset types became a significant challenge, raising the need to develop performance indicators so that the organisation could track and report the performance of its assets on a common basis, including both road and rail networks.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Physical education in modern higher education should contribute to an effective solution to reduce student morbidity. Therefore, one of the promising directions for improving the system of physical education in higher education institutions is the development of sound didactic techniques and methods that provide a comprehensive solution to the problem in question. The aim of the study is to develop recommendations for the correction of the physical condition of female students belonging to special medical groups, contributing to the improvement of the physical condition of these female students. The methods used were the theoretical analysis of literature, generalisation, the study of practical experience, self-observation, testing, a formative experiment and methods of mathematical statistics. The participants in the study were female first-year medical students in a special medical group comprised of 40 persons. The proposed recommendation for physical condition correction includes the exercises of Pletnev and Pilatas, their methodology and sequence of performance; components of physical activity considering the functional capabilities of female students. Upon the conclusion of the study, there was a significant improvement in health, endurance, strength and speed indicators. The growth rate of physical fitness indicators in the experimental group increased from 36.35 % to 49.21 %, and less significantly in the control group from 8.20 % to 22.02 %, the number of students with a higher level of health increased from 20 to 40 and decreased from 20 to 10, respectively. Thus, the proposed organisational-methodological recommendations make it possible to increase the level of physical and functional fitness of female students of the special medical group and to strengthen their physical health.

Full textAbstract:
Many offshore installations in the North Sea have now exceeded their original design life and are in a life extension phase. A Framework of six processes has been developed for the management of ageing of Safety Critical Elements (SCEs) in offshore installations. The processes include an analysis of the effect of ageing modes on SCE performance. Examples of performance indicators for typical SCEs are proposed based on how their condition and performance as may be affected by physical deterioration and other effects of ageing. Indicators for calibrating the maturity and effectiveness of the management processes are also suggested.

Full textAbstract:
The human body, in contemporary art, is used as a means, as it also is in fashion design practices applied to the art field, that explore the alteration of the anatomic perimeter in its impact on the user’s self-image, expression and transformation. Costumes that defy gesture bear a reflection on dress over body and we question how functionality (or the lack of it) can influence cognition – mostly when we expect a performer to feel and express the same way a character does and when the audience aims to feel the same way the character feels. Does the performer become a more reactive user towards dress under the realm of the action field of performance art, if interacting with a «non-user-friendly» costume? Since costume and body cannot be separated in performance art, we explore ergonomics, regarding both physical and psychological discomfort in improving the acting of a performer, namely when improvising or moving and in the contribution to a more proficient involvement with the audience. A noninterventionist methodology of qualitative basis is used, based on literary research and observation on the impact of different garments on a performer’s work, so as to obtain new indicators for costume design methodology.

Manufacturing is moving towards complexity, large integration, digitalization and high flexibility. A combination of these characteristics is a basic for forming a new kind of production system, known as Cyber Physical System (CPS). CPS is a board range of complex, multidisciplinary, physically-aware next generation engineered systems that integrates embedded computing technologies. Those integrated manufacturing systems usually consist of four levels: network, enterprise, production system and workplace. In this article we are concentrated to the workplace level, examining the implementation of the most suitable robot-cell and integration it into the production system and enterprise structure. The problem is actual for the big companies such as automobile industry, but very important is also for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) that tend to produce for example; small tractors, air conditioners for high speed trains or even different type of doors for houses. In all cases the best solution to response the situation is the implementation of robot-based manufacturing cell into a production system, which is not only a challenge but also need a lot of specific knowledge. Designing and selecting optimal solutions for robot-based manufacturing systems is suitable to carry out by a computer-based decision support systems (DSS). DSS typically works by ranking, sorting or choosing among the alternatives. This article emphasis to the problem of integration the DSS with the artificial intelligence (AI) tools. For this objective, the study has been focused to development of a conceptual model for assessing robot-based system by means of technical and functional capabilities, which is combined with cell efficiency based on process Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and enterprise Critical Success Factors (CSFs). The elaborated model takes into consideration system design parameters, product specific indicators, process execution data, production performance parameters and estimates how the production cell objective can be achieved. Ten different types of companies were selected and their robot-based manufacturing systems were mapped by qualitative and quantitative factors based on the model, whereas executives were interviewed to determine companies’ strategic objectives. The study results comprise of an approach that helps SMEs to gain additional economic-technical information for decision making at different levels of a company.

Two years of post-project monitoring of a navigation solution in a dynamic coastal environment, Smith Island, Maryland.

Full textAbstract:
In 2018, jetties and a sill were constructed by the US Army Corps of Engineers adjacent to the Sheep Pen Gut Federal Channel at Rhodes Point, Smith Island, Maryland. These navigation improvements were constructed under Section 107 of the Continuing Authorities Program. Material dredged for construction of the structures and realignment of the channel were used to restore degraded marsh. Following construction and dredging, 2 years of monitoring were performed to evaluate the performance of navigation improvements with respect to the prevention of shoaling within the channel, shoreline changes, and impacts to submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV). Technical Report ERDC/CHL TR-20-14 describes the first year of post-project monitoring and the methodologies employed. This report describes conclusions derived from 2 years of monitoring. While the navigation improvements are largely preventing the channel from infilling, shoaling within is occurring at rates higher than expected. The placement site appears stable and accreting landward; however, there continues to be erosion along the shoreline and through the gaps in the breakwaters. SAV monitoring indicates that SAV is not present in the project footprint, even though turbidity is comparable to the reference area. Physical disturbance of the bottom sediment during construction may explain SAV absence.
