Abstract:

With urban design, it is becoming increasingly important to both visualise spatial changes and quantify the effect of these changes on the local microclimate: the former often for public consultation and the latter to develop landscapes that provide resilience to warmer weather thus reducing the urban heat island effect. It is possible to automatically construct 3D landscape models from vector site plans and height data sources through procedural generation. However, the generation of the inputs for microclimate models remains a time consuming process even though 3D visualisations or site plans may already exist. In this paper, a method to link procedurally generated 3D landscape models to microclimate simulations is demonstrated. Using this method, a case study is presented that allows initial calibration of the model and then several distinct alterations in the base design are tested alongside the variation in weather conditions looking forward to 2080. Finally, graphics card shaders are used to incorporate the temperature data within the interactive 3D procedural models, allowing both real-time manipulation of view point and simulation time.

Abstract:

Consumer banking refers to that banking products and services which are directly given by banks to consumers that are personal loan, auto loan, house loan and credit card. . Customers face some problems while buying consumer banking products and services, such as high interest rate, lack of awareness, inappropriate service, arrangement of securities and procedural complications. This study aims to analyze the relationship between perceived problems and consumer banking products. Survey based methodology was used for data collection. For this purpose a close ended questionnaire was designed. The target population was Lahore Pakistan. Interest rate, customer service, security issues and procedural complications are proven to be the problems faced by the customers while buying consumer banking products. But lack of awareness proved to be wrong which means that respondents are aware of consumer banking products.

Abstract:

Free and fair elections are indispensable to quantify the sentiments of the populace for forming the government of representatives in democratic countries. Due to its procedural variation from country to country and complexity, to maneuverer, it is a challenging task. Since the Orthodox paper-based electoral systems are slow and error-prone, therefore, a secure and efficient electoral system always remained a key area of research. Although a lot of literature is available on this topic. However, due to reported anomalies and weaknesses in American and France election in 2016, it once again has become a pivotal subject of research. In this article, we proposed a new secure and efficient electronic voting scheme based on public key cryptosystem dubbed as Number Theory Research Unit (NTRU). Furthermore, an efficient and robust three factors authentication protocol based on a personalized memorable password, a smartcard, and bioHash is proposed to validate the legitimacy of a voter for casting a legal vote. NTRU based blind signatures are used to preserve the anonymity and privacy of vote and voters, whereas the proficiency of secure and efficient counting of votes is achieved through NTRU based homomorphic tally. Non-coercibility and individual verifiability are attained through Mark Pledge scheme. The proposed applied electronic voting scheme is, secure, transparent and efficient for large scale elections.

Abstract:

Abstract An immunoassay system based on enzyme immunoassay technology has been developed for quantitative panel testing. The system includes test card disposables, reagents, and an instrument. Patients' samples are processed semiautomatically in the instrument with minimum user intervention. The test card has multiple test areas at individual locations on a membrane solid phase so that simultaneous determinations from a single specimen are possible. Each panel also includes positive and negative reagent procedural controls. Factory-determined calibration curves for each analyte are provided in barcode form with each test kit. The reagents include a specimen dilution buffer, enzyme conjugate, and precipitogenic substrate. Up to 10 test cards at a time can be processed in random-access and continuous-access modes, with automated agitation of sample and reagents over the solid phase, temperature-controlled incubation, and membrane washing and reading, data reduction, and printout of results. The optical reader measures diffuse reflectance and features source intensity and wavelength compensation.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Ensuring residents develop operative skills requires application of the principles of guided learning, deliberate practice, and directed feedback. Objective We sought to create and implement a tool to promote procedural “key” step review and immediate feedback on surgical skills, and examined faculty and resident satisfaction with surgical skills feedback. Methods We created surgical skills feedback (SurF) cards for 8 gynecologic procedures. Faculty/fellows and residents completed prestudy surveys querying frequency of preoperative key step review and satisfaction with surgical skill feedback, a SurF card each time 1 of 8 procedures was performed, and poststudy surveys to evaluate for changes. Results Prestudy surveys were completed by 31 faculty/fellows and 20 residents, with 55% (17 of 31) of the faculty/fellows and 5% (1 of 20) of the residents reporting key step review before surgery. All reported low satisfaction rates with feedback frequency, quality, and timeliness. After implementation of SurF cards, preoperative key step review occurred in 78% (82 of 105) of the procedures. Twenty-one faculty/fellows (68%) and 16 residents (80%) completed our poststudy survey. Faculty/fellows reported statistically similar key step review (n = 15 [71%], P = .23), while residents reported that key step review had significantly improved (n = 6 [38%], P = .01). Resident satisfaction with feedback frequency (5% to 50%, P = .002) and quality (15% to 50%, P = .02) increased significantly. Conclusions The SurF cards we developed facilitated procedural key step review, were associated with significantly improved resident satisfaction with surgical feedback, and could prove helpful with outcomes assessments, such as Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education–required documentation of Milestone attainment.

Abstract:

SynopsisA Cognitive Shift neurocognitive training module was developed in the attempt to ameliorate cognitive flexibility deficits in chronic schizophrenic patients. A procedural training approach hypothesized the exercise of specific neural network processes, identified from theories of frontal and prefrontal lobe functioning. Three male patients who underwent the intensive program demonstrated significant gains in Wisconsin Card Sorting Test performance, gains that were maintained at a six month reassessment. Expanded Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (a measure of symptomatology) and Life Skills Profile (a measure of daily functioning) measures showed smaller improvements. The ability to improve cognitive flexibility could have important implications for the treatment of schizophrenia.

Abstract:

This article presents a game theoretic model to explain the broad electoral support for the extreme right-wing party, the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), in the 1994 elections in El Salvador. Making use of poll data, the author shows that the deciding factor in this electoral outcome was not the procedural defects, the apathy of the electorate, or the disorganization of the opposition parties but, instead, uncertainty about the peace process. The model helps to explain why during the political campaign, ARENA played the “fear card” and why the peasants voted in such great numbers for a party opposed to the land reform that would greatly benefit them. The author argues that the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) participated in the election not just to win but more to provide legitimacy for the new democratic process. The article concludes by discussing implications of the findings for the prospects for democratic consolidation in El Salvador.

Abstract:

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to improve production effectiveness of equipment by facilitating the implementation of the key principles of total productive maintenance (TPM).Design/methodology/approachA sequential TPM-based scheme consisting of 13 procedural steps is proposed. The steps cover the basic aspects of a generic improvement system, i.e. planning, implementation, checking, corrective action and control.FindingsThe proposed scheme was effective in increasing the overall equipment effectiveness by 62.6 percent over a nine-month period only. This was a direct reflection of improvements in equipment availability, efficiency and product quality. A positive feedback regarding the smooth implementation of the scheme was also received from the responsible maintenance staff.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed scheme is intended mainly to the manufacturing industrial sector, which utilizes failure-prone equipment in running operations.Originality/valueThis study presents an original scheme that tries to avoid the many barriers of success frequently encountered during the implementation of TPM schemes, as reported in the literature. This scheme is unique in integrating between 5S and safety, health and environment initiatives, by capitalizing on the close relation between the two initiatives, and simplifying procedures for measuring how well the two initiatives are implemented in an organization in one score card. Different from previous studies, the scheme treats both “education and training” and 6S as a foundation to the core TPM principles.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper examines how informational processing drove new structures of racial classification in the Third Reich. The Deutsche Hollerith-Maschinen Gesellschaft mbH (Dehomag) worked closely with the government in designing and integrating punch-card informational systems. As a German subsidiary of IBM, Dehomag’s technology was deployed initially for a census in order to provide a more detailed racial analysis of the population. However the racial data was not detailed enough. The Nuremberg Race Laws provided a more precise and procedural definition of Jewishness that could be rendered machine-readable. As the volume and velocity of information in the Reich increased, Dehomag’s technology was adopted by other agencies like the Race and Settlement Office, and culminated in the vision of a single machinic number for each citizen. Through the lens of these proto-technologies, the paper demonstrates the historical interplay between race and information. Yet if the indexing and sorting of race anticipates big-data analytics, contemporary power is more sophisticated and subtle. The complexity of modern algorithmic regimes diffuses obvious racial markers, engendering a racism without race.

Abstract:

The notary protocol is a state archive that must be kept and guarded by a notary public. Due to security concerns, maintenance costs and the size of space required further electronic storage of notary protocols can be carried out. This legal research uses a normative juridical approach as a result of the absence of norms. The technique of using legal materials used is the card system technique. The results show that the notary protocol that is stored electronically is important to do considering the duties of a notary as a public official who has the task of searching for the public in the field of civil cases so that the state must make rules regarding the storage of notary electronic protocols in its arrangement with Cyber Notary. The mechanism is to use the transfer media in digital form or scanning. The strength of notary protocol evidence stored in the field of civil law only functions as a backup, not as an electronic one which has binding power because it does not meet the requirements for document authenticity as regulated in Article 1 paragraph. 7 of the Amendments to the Law on Notaries and Article 1868 of the Civil Code and in the field of criminal procedural law, namely that it can be evidence to show evidence that shows other evidence.

Abstract:

Using the GOMS model (Card, Moran, and Newell, 1983), a help system was developed which was complete and well structured. The content of this help system was determined from the goals, operators, methods, and selection rules needed to perform HyperCard™ authoring tasks. The index to these methods, which was an integrated part of the system, was determined from the hierarchical goal tree provided by the GOMS analysis. To determine the effectiveness of using GOMS as a design aid for help systems, the GOMS help system was compared to a state-of-the art interface developed by Apple® Computer which was modified slightly for experimental purposes (Original help system). Two groups of 14 users, using one of the two help systems, retrieved help information about 56 tasks separated into 4 sessions. The results indicated that the GOMS users were significantly faster than the Original users with the largest speed difference occurring in the first session. However, no reliable differences were found for retrieval accuracy between the two groups. This is not surprising since the Original help system was found to have 85.9% of the procedural information contained in the GOMS help system. Interestingly, participants subjectively rated the GOMS help system higher than the Original help system. Overall, the results from this information retrieval study suggest that a GOMS model can aid in the development of help systems which are easy to use, easy to learn, and well liked.

AbstractIntroductionA 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, resulting in 222,000 deaths and 300,000 injuries. Three weeks after the initial quake, the New Mexico Disaster Medical Assistance Team (NM DMAT-1) was deployed to Haiti for ongoing medical relief. During this deployment, a portable handheld ultrasound machine was tested for usefulness in aiding with patient care decisions.ObjectiveThe utility of portable ultrasound to help with triage and patient management decisions in a major disaster setting was evaluated.MethodsRetrospective observational non-blinded images were obtained on 51 patients voluntarily presenting to the Gheskio Field clinic at Port-au-Prince. Ultrasound was used for evaluation of undifferentiated hypotension, torso trauma, pregnancy, non-traumatic abdominal pain, deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and dyspnea-chest pain, as well as for assisting with procedures. Scans were obtained using a Signos personal handheld ultrasound machine with images stored on a microSD card. Qualitative data were reviewed to identify whether ultrasound influenced management decisions, and results were categorized in terms of percent of scans that influenced management.ResultsFifty-one ultrasound scans on 50 patients were performed, with 35% interpreted as positive, 41% as negative, and 24% as equivocal. The highest yields of information were for abdominal ultrasound and ultrasound related to pregnancy. Ultrasound influenced decisions on patient care in 70% of scans. Most of these decisions were reflected in the clinician's confidence in discharging a patient with or without non-emergent follow-up.ConclusionThe use of a handheld portable ultrasound machine was effective for patient management decisions in resource-poor settings, and decreased the need to triage selected patients to higher levels of care. Ultrasound was very useful for evaluation of non-traumatic abdominal pain. Dynamic capability is necessary for ultrasound evaluation of undifferentiated hypotension and cardiac and lung examinations. Ultrasound also was useful for guidance during procedural applications, and for aiding in the diagnosis of parasitic diseases.Shorter M, Macias D.

Abstract:

Summary: In recent years, in connection with reconsideration of the place of forensic psychiatry among other expert sciences, the apparent deficit of research in the field of forensic psychiatric examination methodology has been noted. The outpatient forensic psychiatric examination as well as other court expertises are procedural tools for collecting and verifying evidence in criminal and civil proceedings. The aim of the article is to examine the peculiarities of an outpatient expertise and the difficulties in preparing the post-mortem forensic psychiatric examinations in civil proceedings. Material: 327 individuals, certified by experts with subsequent judgments delivered by Varna District Court for the period 2007-2012, were examined. Methods: a specially designed card for collecting data from the certified individuals surveyed by: forensic psychiatric examinations, parts of disease histories, psychological research, and court decisions. Results: a post-mortem expert opinion is particularly complex due to the absence of the object of study and the conclusion is based on evidence from the case file. In a number of cases, a common difficulty in preparing post-mortem forensic psychiatric examination is the absence of medical documentation. The objectification of the status of the individual under examination during the act or during the conclusion of a civil act in such circumstances is significantly complicated and it is impossible to characterize the individual and the mental health. This raises the question of creating a national electronic database that provides timely and reliable access in case of preparation documents of expert significance, as well as a single institute for forensic expertise.

Background: Rajiv Aarogyasri has covered 86.53% of the families across the state. Majority of its people are living in rural areas. Hence, our study will explore gaps in accessibility of urban centric health services by rural policyholder’s under the scheme. To find out the current status of Aarogyasri coverage, awareness, utilization and experiences of rural policyholders in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh during the year 2014-15.Methods: This is a cross-sectional quantitative study and a total of 200 households were surveyed by using multi-stage random sampling technique to obtain primary data, and for background & discussion secondary data was reviewed. SPSS software was used for data analysisResults: In the past one year, 6.77% of the families have received benefits under the scheme. Amongst the ones who have utilized RAS services, 2/3rd of the families were protected from catastrophic illnesses and the mean average of 91.70% of the total costs was covered by RAS. Another 19.21% of the families were in need of healthcare but did not utilize the services due to lack of RAS card, lack of awareness, non-listed therapies, procedural difficulty, non-availability of caretaker, loss of wage and low quality of services.Conclusions: Overall, 66.66% of the beneficiaries expressed their satisfaction, 16.66% opinionated fair while 16.66% were dissatisfied with the RAS services. Beneficiaries experienced shortage of supportive services in Government hospitals under the scheme. Further, IEC activities, alternatives for excluded conditions, strengthening of public facilities will improve the utilization of RAS and reduce the OOPE.

ABSTRACT Introduction In May of 2020, the U.S. Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and Department of Defense (DoD) approved a new joint clinical practice guideline for assessing and managing patients who have overweight and obesity. This guideline is intended to give healthcare teams a framework by which to screen, evaluate, treat, and manage the individual needs and preferences of VA and DoD patients who may have either of these conditions. It can be accessed at https://www.healthquality.va.gov/guidelines/CD/obesity/. Materials and Methods In January of 2019, the VA/DoD Evidence-Based Practice Work Group convened a joint VA/DoD guideline development effort that included clinical stakeholders and conformed to the Institute of Medicine’s tenets for trustworthy clinical practice guidelines. Results The guideline panel developed 12 key questions, systematically searched and evaluated the literature, created a 1-page algorithm, and advanced 18 recommendations using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system. Conclusions This synopsis summarizes the key recommendations of the guideline regarding management of overweight and obesity, including referral to comprehensive lifestyle interventions that combine behavioral, dietary, and physical activity change, and additional tools of pharmacologic and procedural interventions. Additionally, recommendations based on evidence found in the literature for short-term weight loss are included. A clinical practice algorithm that is part of the guideline is also included. Additional materials, such as provider and patient summaries and a provider pocket card, are also available for public use, accessible at the U.S. Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) website listed above.

Abstract:

PURPOSE To demonstrate the use of a combined data base to evaluate the care for local/regional invasive breast cancer in a large insured population of women aged less than 64 years. PATIENTS AND METHODS We linked the procedural and hospital claims from Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) of Virginia with clinical stage data from the Virginia Cancer Registry (VCR) from 1989 to 1991. A total of 918 women were assessed with a median age of 50 years; 68% had tumors less than 2 cm, 30% had positive axillary nodes, and 68% were assessed as having local summary stage. A quality-of-care "report card" was used based on standards of care from international Consensus Conferences. RESULTS Eight percent had a mastectomy as the initial biopsy procedure. Sixty-nine percent of women ultimately underwent mastectomy. Of those women who underwent lumpectomy, 86% had subsequent radiation. Within 3 months of diagnosis, 43% had a bone scan and 20% a computed tomography (CT) scan. Of women with positive axillary lymph nodes, 83% aged less than 51 years and 52% aged 51 to 64 years received chemotherapy. Fifty-six percent of all women had claims from a medical oncologist. Of women having a total mastectomy, 27% had claims from a plastic surgeon. Sixty-six percent to 76% of women had a mammogram, 24% a bone scan, and 14% a CT scan in the 0-18 and 18-36 month intervals following primary treatment. CONCLUSION This study confirms the feasibility of linking sources of data that provide complementary information needed to develop measurements regarding standards of quality and efficiency of oncologic care. This report should serve as an initial benchmark while we await reports from other populations to define the best practice.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the painfulness of procedures commonly performed in acute and critical care settings. OBJECTIVE: To describe pain associated with turning, wound drain removal, tracheal suctioning, femoral catheter removal, placement of a central venous catheter, and nonburn wound dressing change and frequency of use of analgesics during procedures. METHODS: A comparative, descriptive design was used. Numeric rating scales were used to measure pain intensity and procedural distress; word lists, to measure pain quality. RESULTS: Data were obtained from 6201 patients: 176 younger than 18 years and 5957 adults. Mean pain intensity scores for turning and tracheal suctioning were 2.80 and 3.00, respectively (scale, 0-5), for 4- to 7-year-olds and 52.0 and 28.1 (scale, 0-100) for 8- to 12-year-olds. For adolescents, mean pain intensity scores for wound dressing change, turning, tracheal suctioning, and wound drain removal were 5 to 7 (scale, 0-10); mean procedural distress scores were 4.83 to 6.00 (scale, 0-10). In adults, mean pain intensity scores for all procedures were 2.65 to 4.93 (scale, 0-10); mean procedural distress scores were 1.89 to 3.47 (scale, 0-10). The most painful and distressing procedures were turning for adults and wound care for adolescents. Procedural pain was often described as sharp, stinging, stabbing, shooting, and awful. Less than 20% of patients received opiates before procedures. CONCLUSIONS: Procedural pain varies considerably and is procedure specific. Because procedures are performed so often, more individualized attention to preparation for and control of procedural pain is warranted.

Abstract:

Stereotyped vocal behavior exhibited by a seven-year-old child diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and maintained by automatic reinforcement was placed under stimulus control through discrimination training. The training consisted of matching a green card (SD) with free access to vocal stereotypy and a red card (SD-absent) with interruption of stereotypy and vocal redirection. At the same time, appropriate behaviors were reinforced. After discrimination training, the child rarely engaged in vocal stereotypy in the red card condition and, to a greater extent, in the green card condition, demonstrating the ability to discriminate between the two different situations. After the training, the intervention began. Once they reached the latency criterion in the red stimulus condition, the child could have free access to vocal stereotypy (green card condition). The latency criterion for engaging in stereotypy was gradually increased during the red card condition and progressively decreased during the green card condition. The intervention follows a changing criterion design. This study indicates that stimulus discrimination training is a useful intervention to reduce vocal stereotypy in an autistic child.

Abstract:

Neonates in the neonatal intensive care nursery experience multiple, painful, tissue-damaging procedures daily. Pain among neonates is often underestimated and untreated, producing untoward consequences. A literature review established strong evidence supporting the use of sucrose as an analgesic for minor procedural pain among neonates. A review of unit practices and nurses’ experiential evidence initiated the production of a standardized protocol in our unit at the University of Washington Medical Center NICU in Seattle.Nursing practices surrounding sucrose use differed widely in dose, timing, and patient application. We carefully evaluated evidence documenting the effectiveness as well as the safety of sucrose administration and wrote a protocol and practice standards for our primarily premature patient population. This article describes the development and execution of a standardized, nurse-implemented, sucrose protocol to reduce procedural pain.

Abstract:

Credit card fraud is a significant threat in the BFSI sector. This credit card fraud detection system analyzes user behavioral patterns and their location to identify any unusual patterns. This consists of user characteristics, which includes user spending styles as well as standard user geographic places to verify his identity. One of the user behavior patterns includes spending habits, usage patterns, etc. This system deals with user credit card data for various characteristics, which includes user country, usual spending procedures. Based upon previous transactions information of that person, the system recognizes unusual patterns in the payment method. The fraud detection system contains the past transaction data of each user. Based on this data, it identifies the standard user behavior patterns for individual users, and any deviation from those normal user patterns becomes a trigger for the detection system. If it detects any unusual patterns, then user will be required to undergo the security verification, which identifies the original user using QR code recognition system. In case of any unusual activity, the system not only raises alerts but it will block the user after three invalid attempts.

Abstract:

Adjudicated adolescents detained in residential facilities for illegal sexual behavior, as well as adolescents living at home, may engage in problem behaviors such as excessive vocalizations. In residential detention facilities, these excessive vocalizations may result in disciplinary action and loss of privileges. Moreover, excessive vocalizations may also reduce the amount of positive social interactions that staff members and caregivers have with the adolescents. The current study evaluated a multiple-schedule procedure for reducing excessive vocalizations displayed by three adolescents. The procedure involved (a) a red card to signal that attention was not available and (b) either a green card or no card to signal that attention was available. Results show that the participants learned to abstain from vocalizing for up to 30 min when a caregiver presented the red card. In addition, the treatment effects persisted during generalization assessment sessions.

Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate in-hospital and 1-year outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in elderly patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: All patients aged ≥ 65 years presenting with STEMI and undergoing PPCI at Ibrahim Cardiac Hospital & Research Institute, Bangladesh from January 2015 to August 2017 were consecutively included in the study based on predefined eligibility criteria. Data pertaining to angiographic characteristics, procedural variables, in-hospital and 1-year outcome variables were recorded and analyzed with the help of descriptive statistics and Chi-square Test. Results: The mean age of the patients was 69.2 ± 5.2 (range: 65-85) years with male to female ratio being 4:1. The patients were predominantly diabetic (78%) followed by hypertensive (74%) and dyslipidaemic (70%) smoker (54%). Half of the patients presented with anterior myocardial infarction (MI), 30% had inferior MI, 12% with right ventricular (RV) extension and 8% with inferolateral extension. About one-quarter (24%) had arrhythmia with complete heart block (CHB). The culprit arteries were LAD (50%), followed by RCA (42%) and LCx (8%). Nearly half (46%) had single vessel disease, 34% double and 20% triple vessel disease. Majority (80%) received a single stent and 20% required two stents with mean diameter and length of the stents were 2.9 ± 0.4 mm and 27.3 ± 7.9 mm respectively. Intracoronary eptifibatide was used in 20% cases. In terms of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), 58% and 28% had mild and moderate LV systolic dysfunction respectively. The mean duration of hospital stay was 4.0 ± 1.9 days. About 18% required repeat hospitalization. Overall, 7(14%) patients died (4 during their stay in the hospital due to cardiac cause and 3 during follow up due to non-cardiac causes). At 1 year follow up, in-stent restenosis was seen in 1 case followed by target vessel revascularization (TVR). The Association between age and outcome revealed that advanced age (age ≥ 75 years) was an important predictor of in-hospital and one-year outcome with Relative Risk (RR) of having unfavorable outcome was > 5-fold (95% CI: 1.6-19.5) in patients of advanced age than that in patients of age < 75 years (p = 0.008). Conclusion: Primary PCI is a feasible treatment option for elderly Bangladeshi patients presenting with STEMI with fewer in-hospital and 1-year follow up deaths. Adverse cardiovascular events are even less. Advanced age (age ≥75 years) is an important determinant of adverse cardiovascular events including mortality, probably because of more medical co-morbidities associated with advanced age.
