Public services (PS) and technical services (TS) librarians play equally crucial roles in providing library services to meet user needs to support institutional goals. For PS and TS librarians to develop effective workplace collaborations, both groups must have a better understanding of the other side’s perspectives, values, and concerns. This paper sought to learn how librarians in the two areas currently perceive and/or stereotype each other. The authors conducted a survey on cross perceptions of public and technical services academic librarians. The study tested and confirmed assumptions that previous papers have made about the negative perceptions of TS librarians held by PS librarians. Analysis of survey results, however, found that TS respondents expected to be viewed more negatively than was evidenced by the PS responses. Nonetheless, both PS and TS respondents recognized and agreed on the important role that library technical services play within the larger context.

Abstract In the publication the authors solve the problem of forming the optimal volume of control actions to maintain the technical systems (TS) service availability. To achieve the desired result the analysis of the TS as a service object was carried out. As a result of the analysis the system elements with a level of reliability below the required level are assigned to a separate group for which the maintenance modes are formed later, their actual state being taken into account. Namely, the decision is made what work on these elements can perform and what forces and means of the technical support system will be required for their operation. To form a list of necessary operations, the functional scheme analysis of the TS considered is carried out, during the analysis the functional as well as degradation characteristics of the system elements are determined as well as the significance (weight) of each element in the system. The analysis of the functional scheme of the TS is performed by using the functional-topological method.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the vibration total value of the acceleration transmitted to the wrist and elbow was measured in the laboratory with a group of 13 male subjects holding a cylindrical handle while modifying the coupling force under varying levels of vibration. The results were used to establish the relationship between hand-transmitted vibration and coupling forces and to compare with the relations proposed as part of an ISO Technical Specification, ISO/TS 15230-2. This was done to determine the suitability of the proposed relationships when variations are introduced on the level of vibration on the handle. While tracing back the origins of the relations proposed in ISO/TS 15230-2, this paper further brings in evidence of the importance of considering the role of coupling forces when evaluating the exposure to hand-transmitted vibration and provides additional evidence to support the relationships which are proposed as part of the ISO Technical Specification. Irrespective of the level of broadband random vibration excitation considered, the agreement with these relationships was found to be best when setting the reference coupling force at 50, 75, 100 and 125 N and whenever the coupling forces applied on the handle were maintained below 150 N.

PurposeIn order to improve the weak recognition accuracy and robustness of the classification algorithm for brain-computer interface (BCI), this paper proposed a novel classification algorithm for motor imagery based on temporal and spatial characteristics extracted by using convolutional neural networks (TS-CNN) model.Design/methodology/approachAccording to the proposed algorithm, a five-layer neural network model was constructed to classify the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. Firstly, the author designed a motor imagery-based BCI experiment, and four subjects were recruited to participate in the experiment for the recording of EEG signals. Then, after the EEG signals were preprocessed, the temporal and spatial characteristics of EEG signals were extracted by longitudinal convolutional kernel and transverse convolutional kernels, respectively. Finally, the classification of motor imagery was completed by using two fully connected layers.FindingsTo validate the classification performance and efficiency of the proposed algorithm, the comparative experiments with the state-of-the-arts algorithms are applied to validate the proposed algorithm. Experimental results have shown that the proposed TS-CNN model has the best performance and efficiency in the classification of motor imagery, reflecting on the introduced accuracy, precision, recall, ROC curve and F-score indexes.Originality/valueThe proposed TS-CNN model accurately recognized the EEG signals for different tasks of motor imagery, and provided theoretical basis and technical support for the application of BCI control system in the field of rehabilitation exoskeleton.

Full textAbstract:
Nanomaterials offer new technical and commercial opportunities but, due to their low particle size, raise occupational health and safety concerns and may also pose risks to the consumers and the environment. In the last 15 years, many standards have been developed in the area of nanotechnologies, taking into account, namely, occupational risk and safety. This paper presents an overview of the standards in this area, with special emphasis at the ISO level, but also at European level, where standards are considered as an important support for legislation. A brief presentation of five relevant ISO standards is included. Relevant European Standards are also mentioned. The control banding approach for occupational risk management applied to engineered nanomaterials, according to ISO/TS 12901-2:2014, is presented. Standards are essential for society and should, in fact, be considered an important tool for companies to support sustainable products and process innovation.

BNSP technical competence gets high legality on the side of the industry, while not all test participants can acquire it. Until now, studies that discuss relevant competency test models on automotive engine technology are still limited, not specific or even non-existent. The objective of this research is to produce a Competency Test Model for Engine Tune Up-System Injection and determine the characteristics after the model is applied. The subject of development consists of assesses (vocational education graduates, workers and educators), experts, and assessors from related Professional Certification Institutions (LSP). Instrument validation was conducted through expert judgment and feasibility trials. Reliability tests were performed using alpha and interrater coefficient analysis. The results of the test analysis include (1) competency test model assessment using the CBA approach; (2) competency dimension elements in instruments development are in the form of TS, TMS, CMS, EMS, and JRES; and (3) the characteristics of competency assessment include equipment verification of adequacy, avoiding impartiality, meeting requirements, transparent and accounTable, and able to produce recommendations as "competent" and "non-competent". The obtained findings showed that the developed competency test model could be used as a reference for use in vocational education.

Full textAbstract:
Reliable prediction of landslide occurrence is important for hazard risk reduction and prevention. Taking Guixi in northeast Jiangxi as an example, this research aimed to conduct such a landslide risk assessment using a multiple logistic regression (MLR) algorithm. Field-investigated landslides and non-landslide sites were converted into polygons. We randomly generated 50,000 sampling points to intersect these polygons and the intersected points were divided into two parts, a training set (TS) and a validation set (VT) in a ratio of 7 to 3. Thirteen geo-environmental factors, including elevation, slope, and distance from roads were employed as hazard-causative factors, which were intersected by the TS to create the random point (RP)-based dataset. The next step was to compute the certainty factor (CF) of each factor to constitute a CF-based dataset. MLR was applied to the two datasets for landslide risk modeling. The probability of landslides was then calculated in each pixel, and risk maps were produced. The overall accuracy of these two models versus VS was 91.5% and 90.4% with a Kappa coefficient of 0.814 and 0.782, respectively. The RP-based MLR modeling achieved more reliable predictions and its risk map seems more plausible for providing technical support for implementing disaster prevention measures in Guixi.

Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial{Second Generation (DVB-T2) requires a high coding rate to transmit data of high-quality video. This paper evaluates Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) codes for the DVB-T2 to measure the gain of BCH codes. This paper evaluates the BCH codes as outer coding to be combined with other different inner encoding schemes such as Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes and convolutional codes to measure the best suitable inner encoding scheme. This paper also studies the performances of BCH codes for DVB-T2 specified by two different standards, i.e., (a) The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Technical Specification (TS) 102 831 and (b) ETSI European Standard (EN) 302 755. To obtain better error correcting capability, we propose new BCH polynomials based on the general guideline from ETSI TS 102 831 for Galois Field GF(214). We perform computer simulations to evaluate bit-error-rate (BER) performances under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and Indonesia DVB-T2 channel model. We revealed the superiority of BCH codes in high data rate transmission, which is required for DVB-T2, and found that BCH codes are better suited to the LDPC codes as inner encoding rather than to the convolutional codes. We also confirmed that BCH codes of DVB-T2 from ETSI TS 102 831 using the proposed BCH polynomials have better performances compared to the standard polynomial of ETSI EN 302 755. We are expecting that the obtained polynomials can be adopted by the BCH codes of Indonesia DVB-T2 system. These results are expected to support the Indonesian government in determining the parameters of the BCH codes of DVB-T2 for Indonesia.

Discovery and access of Web services for geographic information on the Semantic Web has not been addressed yet by the Semantic Web community or by the geographic information community. However, ISO/TC 211 in the ISO Technical Specification ISO/TS 19150-1:2012, Geographic information — Ontology — Part 1: Framework provides a plan to cover this purpose. Recently, ISO/TC 211 approved a new project ISO 19150-4, Geographic information — Ontology — Part 4: Service ontology, for the development of a new ISO standard that deals with Web services for geographic information. This ISO standard has reached the draft international standard stage. This paper aims at providing an overall description of the standard including the ontological framework for geographic information services and a crosswalk with other frameworks for Web services (such as OWL-S, SWSO, WSMO) to support interoperability with them.

Full textAbstract:
The use of plastics is resisted worldwide. Therefore, finding alternatives to plastic packaging products is an urgent issue. This work was dedicated to the preparation of biodegradable composited films with potato starch, glycerol, and gelatin. The formulation of the biodegradable film was first optimized via response surface methodology combined with the multi-index comprehensive evaluation method that considered physical properties (thickness, water solution (WS), tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (E%)) and barrier property (light transmittance (T%)). Results indicated that the optimal conditions were 2.5% starch, 2.0% glycerol, and 1.5% gelatin (based on water). The optimized film presented excellent properties with TS of 4.47 MPa, E% of 109.91%, WS of 43.64%, and T% of 41.21% at 500 nm, and the comprehensive evaluation score of the composite film was 28.68. Moreover, a model verification experiment was further conducted, which proved that the predicted value highly matched experimental values, indicting the credibility and accuracy of the model. The resulting films were further characterized on the basis of rheological measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The rheological measurements proved that the film-forming solution exhibited low shear viscosity and non-Newtonian fluid behavior. FTIR and SEM revealed excellent compatibility among starch, glycerol, and gelatin. Hence, the resulting optimized film may be expected to provide theoretical basis and technical support for the food packing industry.

Urban surface temperature distribution is closely linked to its ground vegetation cover. Determining the correlation between the urban surface temperature and its ground vegetation has an important role in the urban surface temperature improvement and the urban environment optimization. This paper selects the TM data in the summer of 2009 to obtain the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and selects 129 samples in the seasons acquired by the images to do the actual measurement of the surface temperature. Then it analyzes the quantitative relationship between the surface measured temperature and normalized difference vegetation index finding out that there exists a negative correlation; Their regression fits to obtain the type of relationship: Ts = 37-14.64 * NDVI. The identification of the correlation between the urban temperature and vegetation index provides a relatively reliable theoretical basis and technical support to the urban planning, and urban ecological environment construction.

Background: The need for blood services in Indonesia are still high. These were related to the high number of maternal deaths from hemorrhage during and after childbirth. The National Health Insurance (JKN) provide great opportunities for ensuring the needs of the community blood transfusion services. Presidential Decree No. 12 of 2013 article 22 paragraph 1a.6 mentioned that blood transfusions became one of the health care benefi ts package in the fi rst degree. The purpose of this study to analyze the benefi ts package in the regulation of blood transfusion services, especially in health centers. Methods: This study was conducted in Surabaya. The analysis was performed on the results of Focus Group Discussion with actor implementing policies (health center, Indonesian Cross Red/PMI, Hospitals, and BPJS), by content analysis. Results: The blood transfusion services benefi t package had not been able to do in Health Center (Puskesmas/FKTP), especially Puskesmas in Surabaya. Package benefi ts of blood transfusion services confl ict with other policies. Theauthority to give a blood transfusion was not a health center (puskesmas) but the hospital. The technical requirements of medical support blood transfusion services in health centers did not according to the standard. Referral service was the most likely carried out by the health center when encountered cases of maternal urgency requiring blood transfusions. Conclusion: Package benefi ts of blood transfusion services in Presidential Decree No. 12 of 2013 article 22 contradicted by other policies already set. Availability of medical requirements that support these services had not been fulfilled. Blood transfusion services could not currently be implemented in Puskesmas Surabaya. Recommendation: The content of Presidential Decree no. 12 of 2013 article 22 requires the revision, that the blood transfusion service could only be carried out in health facilities provided medical technical requirements, both human resources and supporting infrastructure.

Latar Belakang: Kebutuhan pelayanan darah di Indonesia masih tinggi. Ini terkait masih tingginya jumlah kematian ibu akibat perdarahan saat dan pascamelahirkan. Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN) memberikan peluang terjaminnya kebutuhan masyarakat terhadap pelayanan transfusi darah. Peraturan Presiden (Perpres) no. 12 tahun 2013 pasal 22 ayat 1a.6 menyebutkan bahwa transfusi darah menjadi salah satu paket manfaat di pelayanan kesehatan tingkat pertama. Tujuan kajian untuk menganalisis paket manfaat pelayanan transfusi darah di puskesmas dalam Perpres tersebut. Metode: Kajian ini merupakan studi implementasi kebijakan Perpres no. 12 tahun 2013 yang dilakukan di Surabaya. Analisis dilakukan terhadap hasil FGD dengan aktor pelaksana kebijakan (Puskesmas, PMI, Rumah sakit, dan BPJS), secara content analysis. Hasil: Paket manfaat pelayanan transfusi darah belum dapat dilakukan di FKTP, khususnya Puskesmas di Surabaya, karena bertentangan dengan perundang-undangan yang lebih tinggi dan ditetapkan sebelumnya. Pemberian transfusi merupakan kewenangan rumah sakit. Persyaratan teknis medis penunjang pelayanan transfusi darah di puskesmas belum memenuhi standar. Puskesmas hanya berwenang merujuk ketika menjumpai kasus kegawatan maternal yang memerlukan transfusi darah. Kesimpulan: Pelayanan transfusi darah dalam Perpres no. 12 tahun 2013 pasal 22 kontradiktif dengan kebijakan lain. Pelayanan transfusi darah belum dapat dilaksanakan di Puskesmas Kota Surabaya, karena belum memenuhi persyaratan tranfusi darah yang aman. Rekomendasi: Isi Perpres no. 12 tahun 2013 pasal 22 perlu direvisi, bahwa pelayanan transfusi darah hanya dapat dilakukan di fasilitas kesehatan yang memenuhi persyaratan teknis medisnya, SDM dan sarana prasarana penunjangnya.

Abstract In 2016, the CDC estimated that 2.1 million Americans had Opioid Use Disorder (OUD); about 1.8 million related to prescribed painkillers. Older adults are especially susceptible; SAMHSA estimates that 2.7 million older adults will misuse prescription drugs by 2020. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) issued a 2016 Circular Letter advising long-term care facility (LTCF) administrators that, if otherwise eligible for admission, facilities are expected to admit individuals diagnosed with OUD, and provide medication for OUD (MOUD) as prescribed. Yet, many facilities express concern for admitting residents with OUD. The MDPH and their partners are conducting a multi-faceted training/technical support (TS) program to foster best practices across the continuum of care, targeting LTCF. The 15-month program consists of in-person learning sessions, a comprehensive toolkit, on-site TS, weekly contact, and a peer-to-peer webinar. Pre-training data indicated that 24 of 42 recruited LTCFs had not admitted residents with OUD. Although licensed LTCF practitioners can obtain a waiver to prescribe certain MOUD, only 4 of the 28 LTCF medical directors interviewed had done so. Subject matter experts led topic-specific discussions in the first learning session to educate on OUD/MOUD, dispel myths, make community connections, and provide resources. Almost all participants agreed that the session met the objectives of understanding OUD as a chronic disease, recognizing the stigma of OUD, gaining knowledge of MOUD treatments, and obtaining strategies to enhance best practices across the continuum of care. All items on the pre/post-session assessments indicated a significant increase in understanding (37% versus 60%, respectively).

The emergence of intelligent technology has brought a particular impact and allows for virtuality-reality interaction in the educational field. In particular, digital twins (DTs) feature virtuality-reality symbiosis, solid virtual simulation, and high real-time interaction. It has also seen extended applications to the field of education. This study optimizes the design of the visual communication (Viscom) course based on the deep learning (DL) algorithm. Firstly, the theory of DL is analyzed following the relevant literature, and the typical DL networks, network structures, and related algorithms are introduced. Secondly, Viscom technology is expounded, and DL technology is applied to the Viscom course. Then, the applicability and feasibility of DL in the Viscom course are analyzed through a questionnaire survey (QS) design by collecting students’ attitudes towards Viscom courses before and after the experiment. After introducing DL into the Viscom course, the results show that students’ learning interest and satisfaction with the practical knowledge mastery have increased. However, the satisfaction with theoretical knowledge mastery before practical courses has decreased; overall, the teaching effect of the Viscom course has been improved. Therefore, the introduction of DL into the DT-enabled Viscom can provide a reference for developing the Viscom course. The research content offers technical support (TS) for integrating DT technology and modern education.

Full textAbstract:
In the current world scenario, which is experiencing the arrival of new technologies, Industry 4.0, increased mobility and a pandemic environment, the achievement of sustainability demands proactive solutions. One of these actions includes the design of sustainable products. Several authors have studied the scientific discipline of Life Cycle Engineering (LCE), which encompasses environmental, social and economic dimensions. However, current LCE models have gaps, such as the need to incorporate a more holistic view, uncertainty and integrated analysis. In this context, the aim of this paper is to present a model to evaluate the technology sustainability (TS) dimension. The methodology of the present work involves a literature review, the development of a model with qualitative and quantitative data, and application in a case study. A structure was developed to include market, technical, and technology-scaling perspectives. The computational model uses hybrid Bayesian networks, based on probabilistic theory, and incorporates uncertainty using sustainability indicators. The model includes quantitative and qualitative variables derived from experts’ opinions. The results of applying the model to a real research project on manhole covers indicate that this analytical tool can support decision-making, allowing a new dimension to be incorporated into LCE analysis. Finally, the model allows LCE analysis to be applied in a variety of circumstances, such as strategy development or the selection of more sustainable products, as well as the evaluation of competing products.

Blended learning (BL) combines online and face-to-face teaching and learning and is thought to be an effective means to cultivate learners’ sustainability literacy. The success of BL relies on learners who take the initiative to participate in the learning process. Therefore, this study aims to examine learners’ acceptance of the BL system. The technology acceptance model (TAM) and the self-efficacy theory are combined to construct a systematic model to determine the learners’ continuous intention to adopt BL. Seven constructs are identified, i.e., course quality (CQ), technical support (TS), perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), satisfaction (SE), self-efficacy (SE), and behavioral intentions (BI). A survey was conducted using a close-ended questionnaire, and 461 valid responses were collected from Huaqiao University’s undergraduate students. Covariance-based structural equation modelling was performed. The empirical findings show that except for the hypothesis regarding the connection between PU and PEOU, all the other hypotheses are verified. CQ stands out as having the greatest positive effect on PEOU, which highlights the importance of CQ for BL. The study also confirms that PU significantly impacts SA, SE, and BI, and both SA and SE significantly influence BI. Based on these results, some suggestions are provided for educators and administrators as to how to better design BL systems to strengthen sustainability education.

Full textAbstract:
Interferogram filtering is an essential step in processing data from interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), which greatly improves the accuracy of terrain reconstruction and deformation monitoring. Most traditional interferogram filtering methods achieve noise suppression and detail preservation through morphological estimation based on the statistical properties of the interferogram in the spatial or frequency domain. However, as the interferogram’s spatial distribution is diverse and complex, traditional filtering methods struggle to adapt to different distribution and noise conditions and cannot handle detail preservation and noise suppression simultaneously. The study proposes a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based multi-level feature fusion model for interferogram filtering that differs from the traditional feedforward neural network (FNN). Adopting a multi-depth multi-path convolution strategy, the method preserves phase details and suppresses noise during interferogram filtering. In filtering experiments based on simulated data, qualitative and quantitative evaluations were used to validate the performance and generalization capabilities of the proposed method. The method’s applicability was evaluated by visual observation during filtering and unwrapping experiments on real data, and the time-series deformation acquired by time series (TS)-InSAR technique is used to evaluate the effect of interferogram filters on deformation monitoring accuracy. Compared to commonly used interferogram filtering methods, the proposed method has significant advantages in terms of performance and efficiency. The study findings suggest new directions for research on high-precision InSAR data processing and provide technical support for practical applications of InSAR.

Full textAbstract:
Infrared thermography, in the analysis of photovoltaic (PV) power plants, is a mature technical discipline. In the event of a hailstorm that leaves the PV system without the support of the power grid (and a significant portion of the generation potential), thermography is the easiest way to determine the condition of the modules and revive the existing system with the available resources. This paper presents research conducted on a 30 kW part of a 420 kW PV power plant, and demonstrates the procedure for inspecting visually correct modules that have suffered from a major natural disaster. The severity of the disaster is shown by the fact that only 14% of the PV modules at the test site remained intact. Following the recommendations of the standard IEC TS 62446-3, a thermographic analysis was performed. The thermographic analysis was preceded by an analysis of the I-V curve, which was presented in detail using two characteristic modules as examples. I-V curve measurements are necessary to relate the measured values of the radiation and the measured contact temperature of the module to the thermal patterns. The analysis concluded that soiled modules must be cleaned, regardless of the degree of soiling. The test results clearly indicated defective module elements that would result in a safety violation if reused. The research shows that the validity criterion defined on the basis of the analysis of the reference module can be supplemented, but can also be replaced by a statistical analysis of several modules. The comparison between the thermographic analysis and the visual inspection clearly confirmed thermography as a complementary method for testing PV-s.

Background Regular teledermatology services were implemented in Norway in the early 1990s. Based on the available technology at the time, live interactive video consultation systems were implemented to facilitate remote consultations between dermatologists and general practitioners. With the introduction of digital cameras some years later, store-and-forward systems were introduced, but the live video systems remained popular. In the 2000s and early 2010s, there were few changes in the volume of Norwegian teledermatology services. During the 2010s, private teledermatology companies emerged, which provided both store-and-forward and live interactive video consultations. While previous services involved specialists and general practitioners, the new services now offered to patients enable them to interact with dermatologists directly. Objective This lecture aimed to provide a brief overview of the development of telemedicine in Norway before and during the COVID-19 pandemic with special focus on teledermatology. Methods This lecture provides a brief history of telemedicine in Norway with special attention to the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The content is based on personal experiences and literature references. Results The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on all parts of society. In Norway, it has also affected the way telemedicine is practiced. When the number of new infections increased substantially in early 2020, Norway was under lockdown. This had major consequences on the health care system. In response, the Norwegian government and health authorities strongly encouraged the use of telemedicine and implemented measures to support its use. Since then, there has been a large increase in the number of live video consultations both in specialist and community health care. Conclusions When the necessary technical infrastructure is in place, the remaining barriers to telemedicine use, such as reimbursement and integration of health care systems, can easily be overcome, which would result in high adoption rates of telemedicine. Conflicts of Interest TS is a partner of the Norwegian teledermatology provider “Askin.”

Full textAbstract:
Context. Computing Education Research (CER) is critical to help the computing education community and policy makers support the increasing population of students who need to learn computing skills for future careers. For a community to systematically advance knowledge about a topic, the members must be able to understand published work thoroughly enough to perform replications, conduct meta-analyses, and build theories. There is a need to understand whether published research allows the CER community to systematically advance knowledge and build theories. Objectives. The goal of this study is to characterize the reporting of empiricism in Computing Education Research literature by identifying whether publications include content necessary for researchers to perform replications, meta-analyses, and theory building. We answer three research questions related to this goal: (RQ1) What percentage of papers in CER venues have some form of empirical evaluation? (RQ2) Of the papers that have empirical evaluation, what are the characteristics of the empirical evaluation? (RQ3) Of the papers that have empirical evaluation, do they follow norms (both for inclusion and for labeling of information needed for replication, meta-analysis, and, eventually, theory-building) for reporting empirical work? Methods. We conducted a systematic literature review of the 2014 and 2015 proceedings or issues of five CER venues: Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE TS), International Symposium on Computing Education Research (ICER), Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE), ACM Transactions on Computing Education (TOCE), and Computer Science Education (CSE). We developed and applied the CER Empiricism Assessment Rubric to the 427 papers accepted and published at these venues over 2014 and 2015. Two people evaluated each paper using the Base Rubric for characterizing the paper. An individual person applied the other rubrics to characterize the norms of reporting, as appropriate for the paper type. Any discrepancies or questions were discussed between multiple reviewers to resolve. Results. We found that over 80% of papers accepted across all five venues had some form of empirical evaluation. Quantitative evaluation methods were the most frequently reported. Papers most frequently reported results on interventions around pedagogical techniques, curriculum, community, or tools. There was a split in papers that had some type of comparison between an intervention and some other dataset or baseline. Most papers reported related work, following the expectations for doing so in the SIGCSE and CER community. However, many papers were lacking properly reported research objectives, goals, research questions, or hypotheses; description of participants; study design; data collection; and threats to validity. These results align with prior surveys of the CER literature. Conclusions. CER authors are contributing empirical results to the literature; however, not all norms for reporting are met. We encourage authors to provide clear, labeled details about their work so readers can use the study methodologies and results for replications and meta-analyses. As our community grows, our reporting of CER should mature to help establish computing education theory to support the next generation of computing learners.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundGastric cancer is the sixth most common cancer and second-leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide.1 The heterogenous and genetically complex nature of this disease underlies the challenges in developing effective therapies for metastatic gastric cancer. In the majority of cases, stomach tumors evolve from intestinal metaplasia resulting in ectopic expression of the enterocyte differentiation antigen guanylyl cyclase C (GUCY2C) by ~50% of primary and metastatic gastric cancers.2–4 In the context of the efficacy of GUCY2C-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells against metastatic colorectal cancer in animal models,5,6 we hypothesized that this adoptive cell therapy may be effective against metastatic gastric cancer.MethodsHere, we explored the efficacy of GUCY2C-directed CAR-T cells for gastric cancer in a patient derived xenograft (PDX) tumor model. Also, we interrogated translational GUCY2C biomarker assays using RT-qPCR, immunoblot analysis, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the intended purpose of identifying patients whose tumors express GUCY2C and could benefit from GUCY2C-directed CAR-T cell therapy.ResultsGUCY2C-directed CAR-T cells significantly reduced subcutaneous T84 colorectal tumor growth, producing a 5-fold reduction in tumor volume, compared to control treated tumors. GUCY2C-directed CAR-T cells produced no response in tumors produced from the GUCY2C-deficient colorectal cancer cell line, SW480. Importantly, GUCY2C-directed CAR-T cells controlled gastric cancer PDX growth, maintaining a >12-fold reduction in tumor volume compared to control and in some cases produced complete tumor elimination. Furthermore, IHC based assays, indicate that antibodies developed in our laboratory may be suitable for development of a companion diagnostic for GUCY2C-directed CAR-T cells. Indeed, the commercial polyclonal antibody demonstrated robust, non-specific staining regardless of tissue type or GUCY2C mRNA profile, while novel monoclonal antibodies produced in our laboratory primarily detected protein localized to the membrane of glandular epithelial cells, demonstrating antigen specificity, and indicating their potential for further development in diagnostic companion assays to identify gastric cancer patients who may benefit from GUCY2C-directed CAR-T cell therapy.ConclusionsGUCY2C-directed CAR-T cells prevented the growth of, and at times eliminated, a subcutaneous gastric cancer PDX model. In the context of previously established safety in mouse models, additional studies defining the efficacy of GUCY2C-directed CAR-T cells in gastric cancer models may allow future translation of this therapy to patients with advanced gastric cancers. Concurrent development of a novel companion diagnostic IHC assay would permit identification of the ~50% of gastric cancer patients whose tumors express GUCY2C and could benefit from this therapy.AcknowledgementsThis work was supported by a DeGregorio Family Foundation Award and by the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (W81XWH-17-1-0299, W81XWH-191-0263, and W81XWH-19-1-0067) to AES.

Full textAbstract:
Anaesthesia ventilators are an integral part of all modern anaesthesia workstations. Automatic ventilators in the operating rooms, which were very simple with few modes of ventilation when introduced, have become very sophisticated with many advanced ventilation modes. Several systems of classication of anaesthesia ventilators exist based upon various parameters. Modern anaesthesia ventilators have either a double circuit, bellow design or a single circuit piston conguration. In the bellows ventilators, ascending bellows design is safer than descending bellows. Piston ventilators have the advantage of delivering accurate tidal volume. They work with electricity as their driving force and do not require a driving gas. To enable improved patient safety, several modications were done in circle system with the different types of anaesthesia ventilators. Fresh gas decoupling is a modication done in piston ventilators and in descending bellows ventilator to reduce th incidence of ventilator induced volutrauma. In addition to the conventional volume control mode, modern anaesthesia ventilators also provide newer modes of ventilation such as synchronised intermittent mandatory ventilation, pressure-control ventilation and pressure-support ventilation (PSV). PSV mode is particularly useful for patients maintained on spontaneous respiration with laryngeal mask airway. Along with the innumerable benets provided by these machines, there are various inherent hazards associated with the use of the ventilators in the operating room.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract We assess the role played by high-performance work systems (HPWSs) in public sector management achieving cost reductions and efficiency savings, and in introducing ‘modernizing’ technical and operational changes. Using a nationally representative survey of public sector workplaces with 50 or more employees we find that increased use of HPWS was positively correlated with workplace financial performance ratings and the implementation of workplace organizational change, and negatively correlated with wage costs. We also find target setting (TS) practices are, as much as HPWS, significantly associated with workplace outcomes. First difference estimates for the financial rating and workplace change outcomes qualitatively support the cross-section findings in these respects. We conclude that both HPWS and TS are important management technologies for managers pursuing government objectives in the public sector.

The low level of sustainability of the broiler farming related to the low business capacity of farmers. This condition causes sustainability were low at economic, ecological and social dimension. The study aims to analyze the level of sustainability of broiler farming on partnership pattern, and analyze the influence of capacity on the sustainability ts business. The study involved 247 broiler farmers in Sukabumi and Bogor Regency. The research was conducted from August to October 2018. Samples were determined by cluster random sampling technique with farmer clusters in two districts. Data analysis used descriptive analysis and inferencing with regression and correlation. The results show that siustanibility were low. The business capacity of broiler farmers were weak. The low level of business sustainability is supported by the weak ability of non-technical farmers. Economic sustainability is positively related to technical ability and entrepreneurship. Ecological sustainability has positively related to technical and managerial capabilities. Whereas social sustainability relates negatively to technical, managerial and entrepreneurial abilities. Enhancing technical capabilities is needed to support business sustainability. A significant relationship between technical capabilities, entrepreneurship, managerial and economic, ecological and social sustainability can be followed up by giving attention to these capabilities in the implementation of extension activities.
