Résumé :

SUMMARYIn spring 2008, an influenza A subtype H3N2 outbreak occurred in a long stay psycho-geriatric ward and two wards in the intellectual disability services (IDS), part of a large psychiatric hospital. The attack rate in the index ward was 90% (18/20) for patients and 35% (7/20) for staff. It was 14% (1/7) and 17% (2/12) in the affected IDS wards for patients and 0% (0/20) and 4% (1/25) for staff. Many of the laboratory-confirmed cases did not have a fever >38 °C, a typical sign of influenza. Control measures included oseltamivir treatment for cases and prophylaxis for contacts, standard and droplet infection control precautions, active surveillance for early detection and isolation of potential cases. As a result, the outbreak did not spread throughout the hospital. Although the staff vaccination rate (10%) prior to the outbreak was low, we observed a much lower vaccine effectiveness rate in the patients (11%) than in the staff (100%) in the index ward. Vaccination of residents and staff of such facilities remains the key influenza prevention strategy.

Résumé :

AbstractObjectiveTo assess milk feeding on the maternity ward and during infancy, and their relationship to sociodemographic determinants. The validity of our 3-month questionnaire in measuring hospital feeding was assessed.DesignA prospective Finnish birth cohort with increased risk to type 1 diabetes recruited between 1996 and 2004. The families completed a follow-up form on the age at introduction of new foods and age-specific dietary questionnaires.SettingType 1 Diabetes Prediction and Prevention (DIPP) project, Finland.SubjectsA cohort of 5993 children (77 % of those invited) participated in the main study, and 117 randomly selected infants in the validation study.ResultsBreast milk was the predominant milk on the maternity ward given to 99 % of the infants. Altogether, 80 % of the women recalled their child being fed supplementary milk (donated breast milk or infant formula) on the maternity ward. The median duration of exclusive breast-feeding was 1·4 months (range 0–8) and that of total breast-feeding 7·0 months (0–25). Additional milk feeding on the maternity ward, short parental education, maternal smoking during pregnancy, small gestational age and having no siblings were associated with a risk of short duration of both exclusive and total breast-feeding. In the validation study, 78 % of the milk types given on the maternity ward fell into the same category, according to the questionnaire and hospital records.ConclusionsThe recommendations for infant feeding were not achieved. Infant feeding is strongly influenced by sociodemographic determinants and feeding practices on the maternity wards. Long-term breast-feeding may be supported by active promotion on the maternity ward.

Résumé :

The surnames of the 3443 males registered to vote in Kidlington in 1977 yield a Coefficient of Relationship by Isonymy of 0·000564 {Ri=Σ(n(n–1))/2 N(N–1), in which n=the number of men of each surname and N=Σn}. Those of the four wards separately average 0·000722. However, if one includes only one male of any one surname in each residence, the values are, respectively, 0·000534 and 0·000535. That is, the only structure seen between the two levels is in the influence of men of the same surname resident in the same house. An analysis of relationship by residence on the same street yields a value of Ri somewhat higher than that for the ward as a whole, however, suggesting that even within a ward there may be a tendency for the house of relatives occasionally to lie close together.

Résumé :

This is the first study to provide a comprehensive insight into the molecular epidemiology of endemic Clostridium difficile and particularly that associated with a recently recognized epidemic strain. We DNA fingerprinted all C. difficile isolates from the stools of patients with symptomatic antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and from repeated samples of the inanimate ward environment on two elderly medicine hospital wards over a 22-month period. Notably, C. difficile was not recoverable from either ward immediately before opening, but was found on both wards within 1–3 weeks of opening, and the level of environmental contamination rose markedly during the first 6 months of the study period. C. difficile infection (CDI) incidence data correlated significantly with the prevalence of environmental C. difficile on ward B (r = 0·76, P < 0·05) but not on ward A (r = 0·26, P > 0·05). We found that RAPD and RS–PCR typing had similar discriminatory power, although, despite fingerprinting over 200 C. difficile isolates, we identified only six distinct types. Only two distinct C. difficile strains were identified as causing both patient infection and ward contamination. Attempts to determine whether infected patients or contaminated environments are the prime source for cross-infection by C. difficile had limited success, as over 90% of C. difficile isolates were the UK epidemic clone. However, a non-epidemic strain caused a cluster of six cases of CDI, but was only isolated from the environment after the sixth patient became symptomatic. The initial absence of this strain from the environment implies patient-to-patient and/or staff-to-patient spread. In general, routine cleaning with detergent was unsuccessful at removing C. difficile from the environment. Understanding the epidemiology and virulence of prevalent strains is important if CDI is to be successfully controlled.

Résumé :

The main aim of the paper is to introduce a concept of second order ideal-ward continuity in the sense that a function f is second order ideal-ward continuous if I-limn→∞Δ2f(xn)=0 whenever I-limn→∞Δ2xn=0 and a concept of second order ideal-ward compactness in the sense that a subset E of R is second order ideal-ward compact if any sequence x=(xn) of points in E has a subsequence z=(zk)=(xnk) of the sequence x such that I-limk→∞Δ2zk=0 where Δ2zk=zk+2-2zk+1+zk. We investigate the impact of changing the definition of convergence of sequences on the structure of ideal-ward continuity in the sense of second order ideal-ward continuity and compactness of sets in the sense of second order ideal-ward compactness and prove related theorems.

Résumé :

Background and purpose: Medication error is any preventable event that may lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm. Prescription error, one component of medication error, at Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar is high. An electronic prescribing has been piloted at Angsoka Ward, Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar to reduce prescription errors. However, the evaluation of such implementation is never been conducted. This study aims to evaluate the effect of electronic prescribing on prescription errors at Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar.Methods: An evaluation study was conducted by adopting pre and post control design at Sanglah General Hospital Denpasar. Prescription errors at Angsoka Ward where the electronic prescribing is implemented, were compared to Kamboja Ward that uses manual prescribing. Heterogeneity of patients in these two wards was comparable. Prescription samples were selected using a simple random sampling. Prescription samples prior to implementation of electronic prescribing were taken from June and July 2016, while samples after implementation were taken from March and April 2017. Prescription samples from the control group were also taken from the same periods. A total of 96 prescriptions were taken from each arm – leading to 384 prescription samples in total. Prescription error was evaluated using three requirements namely: administrative (9 components), pharmacy (5 components) and clinical (3 components).Results: Our study found that there was a significant difference of prescription errors between pre and post implementation of electronic prescribing at Angsoka Ward (p<0.05). The median values [IQR] for prescription error based on administrative requirements between pre and post intervention were 2 [3] vs. 0 [0] (p<0.001); based on pharmacy requirements were 1 [2] vs. 0 [0] (p<0.001); based on clinical requirements were 1 [2] vs 0 [0] (p<0,001). In contrast, prescription error based on administrative and pharmacy requirements in Kamboja Ward was insignificantly reduced. The median values [IQR] for prescription error based on administrative requirements between pre and post intervention were 2 [2] vs. 2 [2] (p=0.505) and based on pharmacy requirements were 1 [2] vs. 1 [1] (p=0.295). There was a significant difference of prescription errors (p<0.05) based on clinical requirements with median values [IQR] of 1 [1] vs. 1 [1]. Implementation of electronic prescribing reduced the proportion of prescription errors by 67.8%. After implementation of electronic prescribing, some errors were still apparent related to drug administration and order duplication.Conclusions: Implementation of electronic prescribing reduces prescription errors. Scaling-up of electronic prescribing followed by training on standardised prescribing practices are warranted.

Résumé :

In this paper, we introduce lacunary statistical ward continuity in a 2-normed space. A function f defined on a subset E of a 2-normed space X is lacunary statistically ward continuous if it preserves lacunary statistically quasi-Cauchy sequences of points in E where a sequence (xk) of points in X is lacunary statistically quasi-Cauchy if limr?1 1/hr |{k?Ir : ||xk+1 - xk, z||? ?}| = 0 for every positive real number ? and z ? X, and (kr) is an increasing sequence of positive integers such that k0 = 0 and hr = kr - kr-1 ? ? as r ? ?, Ir = (kr-1, kr]. We investigate not only lacunary statistical ward continuity, but also some other kinds of continuities in 2-normed spaces.

Résumé :

SUMMARYRespiratory virus infections cause a significant number of hospitalization and deaths globally. This study investigated the association between single and multiple respiratory virus infections and risk of admission to a general ward, intensive care unit or death in patients aged 0–105 years (mean ± s.d. = 24·4 ± 24·1 years), from North West England, that were tested for respiratory virus infections between January 2007 and June 2012. The majority of infections were in children aged ⩽5 years. Dual or multiple infections occurred in 10·4% (1214/11 715) of patients, whereas single infection occurred in 89·6% (10 501/11 715). Rhinovirus was the most common co-infecting virus (occurring in 69·5%; 844/1214 of co-infections). In a multivariate logistic regression model, multiple infections were associated with an increased risk of admission to a general ward [odds ratio (OR) 1·43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·2–1·7, P < 0·0001]. On the other hand, patients with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and human parainfluenza virus types 1–3 (hPIV1–3), as a single infection, had a higher risk of being admitted to a general ward (OR 1·49, 95% CI 1·28–1·73, P < 0·0001 and OR 1·34, 95% CI 1·003–1·8, P = 0·05, respectively); admitted to an intensive-care unit or dying (OR 1·5, 95% CI 1·20–2·0, P = 0·001 and OR 1·60, 95% CI 1·02–2·40, P = 0·04, respectively). This result emphasizes the importance of RSV, hPIV and mixed infections and calls for research on vaccines, drugs and diagnostic tests targeting these respiratory viruses.

Résumé :

In this paper, we investigate the concept of Abel statistical quasi Cauchy sequences. A real function f is called Abel statistically ward continuous if it preserves Abel statistical quasi Cauchy sequences, where a sequence (?k) of point in R is called Abel statistically quasi Cauchy if limx?1-(1-x) ?k:|??k|?? xk = 0 for every ? > 0, where ??k = ?k+1-?k for every k ? N. Some other types of continuities are also studied and interesting results are obtained. It turns out that the set of Abel statistical ward continuous functions is a closed subset of the space of continuous functions.

Résumé :

Patients admitted to the orthopaedic ward often present with injuries post involvement in pedestrian vehicle accidents with little investigation into the context of injury. This chapter intends to portray the ecological framework behind admissions linked to the mechanism of injury and underlying psycho-social circumstances of the pedestrians. The PAR methodology is located within the epistemological realm of critical theory and constructivism, whereby facilitating positive social change is viewed to be the key outcome of such research. This outcome has been confirmed by the study prioritising the necessity for a departure from the traditional expert-led health system, evolving into one which supports the empowerment of patients and healthcare workers as a necessity. However, the implementation of the improvements has not been as straightforward as initially projected. Some of the challenges included the slow assimilation of proposed solutions for planned care and paucity of key engagement from upstream stakeholders.

Résumé :

There has been extensive discussion with regard to whether bilingualism helps ward off dementia. However, there is still debate over bilingualism's effects. Researchers have determined that bilinguals have a greater advantage in delaying dementia than monolinguals. Researchers have used cognitive reserve to explain their views. However, recently, some researchers have arrived at a different conclusion, stating that bilinguals have no advantage compared with monolinguals in delaying dementia. In this review, we summarize a review of studies on bilingualism and dementia, supporting the viewpoint that bilinguals have an advantage in delaying dementia compared with monolinguals.

Résumé :

This chapter reports on a case study linking several technology devices that monitor a range of vital signs in patients recently discharged to a hospital ward from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Apart from presenting an interesting technological challenge, this closed environment creates unique logistical and physical ergonomic challenges as well as cognitive and perceptual design problems for mobile technology. Devices include desktop computers, touch monitors, and several types of remote mobile devices including PDAs. A number of important design issues are addressed, such as deciding which visual details can be safely eliminated from a small display, or if permission should be given to turn off the alarm functions, among others. Lack of direct access to users compromised the ecological validity of several parts of the evaluation and alternative evaluation methods had to be devised.

Résumé :

Indigenous knowledge (IK) has been viewed as local knowledge that has been developed and accumulated, over time, by a community and has been passed down over generations. Such knowledge is represented in most spheres of human activity, such as in agriculture, traditional and alternative medicine, human and animal health, forestry and botany, among others. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss how IK is accessed and used by agricultural extension workers in Zimbabwe. The study reviews the relevant literature and focuses largely on Indigenous Agricultural Knowledge (IAK). The study utilises both quantitative and qualitative methods; a questionnaire was distributed and extension workers drawn from eight provinces of Zimbabwe. Mashonaland Central Province produced the highest number of respondents because the population for the province included ward and village extension workers in addition to the district and provincial extension officers and supervisors targeted in each province. From the projected sixty (60), forty four (44) districts participated. The study observed that indigenous knowledge is relevant in modern day agriculture and should be given sufficient attention in extension work. The study recommends that IK be documented and integrated into research, education and training for posterity.

Résumé :

This chapter examines the paradigm that a health care system’s behavior may be examined using an agent simulation in order to illuminate its macroscopic characteristics and the effects of policy on its over all operation. Further, if the individual components are well articulated, the component behavior may be also studied. Health care systems in North America are generally regulated by various processes and mechanisms in order to provide orderly access to, and control of, the health care system. While all processes are designed to be fair and equitable, in many ways the system can not be examined or optimized because the risk, that making changes to the system might result in degraded services, is too great to permit making even simple changes. In this context we propose the development of a health care system model in which agents mimic the behavior of the key components of the system. These components interact and engage each other in a manor analogous to the operation of the health care system. The formulation of such a system is, by its very nature, an extremely complex process, and necessitates development in components or units. In this chapter we present the first components of such a system. Each component has unique and complex behaviors. These components will, with additional development, form the basic structure of a health care system model. Specifically we present results from the development of a diabetic patient agent model, the development of an agent-based neurosurgery ward bed allocation system, and the development of an agent-based scheduling system that may be used to allocate resources within the health care system.

Résumé :

<em>Abstract.</em>—The Bering Sea ecosystem can be considered an extension of the North Pacific Ocean ecosystem, especially with respect to coastal and upper ocean conditions. Because marine measurements are more numerous in the North Pacific, it is possible to deduce clear, historical changes in this large-scale marine ecosystem, and to apply them to the Bering Sea and Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim fisheries. To address recent changes in the marine conditions in the Northeast Pacific, we place them into centennial and millennial contexts. Ocean monitoring of temperature and salinity versus depth profiles at the mouth of Resurrection Bay near Seward, Alaska (station GAK1) since 1970 reveals significant linear temperature increases of about 1°C throughout the 250 m water column. Concurrent with this warming, the salinity of the upper layer (0–100 m) is decreasing while the lower layer (100–250 m) salinity is increasing. In the recent decade, storminess over the Gulf of Alaska has also increased. All of these changes are consistent with a conceptual model that includes ocean circulation, precipitation, glacial melting, and wind forcing. The model has positive feedbacks, suggesting that changes in the salinity are transporting more heat pole-ward, leading to increased storminess, precipitation, glacial melting, and decreased upper layer salinity and more heating. Superimposed on these linear trends are briefer fluctuations (months to years) that might influence the marine ecosystem. Similar trends in hydrography were reported for briefer records in the Bering Sea and Bering Straits. Sitka air temperatures since 1828 and Gulf of Alaska tree ring data since 700 A.D. suggest that periodic “regime shifts” have occurred at 25–30 year intervals since 1700. The last regime shift (warming) took place in 1977. These changes are likely to impact both marine and freshwater ecosystems used by salmon from the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim region and they may play a role in controlling the growth and abundance of these populations.

Résumé :

In this work, the acoustic effects of horizontal air-water flow through an orifice are investigated experimentally. Single phase flow (air) and two-phase flow (air and water) tests are performed for two sets of orifices. One set of straight edged and one set of upstream rounded orifices. For each set, the diameters of the orifices were 2, 5, and 10mm, with a thickness of 5 mm. The two-phase flow is generated by injecting water at a rate of 0 to 40 g/s to air in a pipe with diameter of 25 mm. The air rate is fixed in the range from 5.8 to 14 g/s, where the upstream pressure varies from 1.5 to 4 bar at ambient temperature. Unsteady pressure fluctuations are recorded at two upstream and two downstream position. The valve noise standard NEN-EN-IEC (60534-8-3, 2011) for dry gas is assessed by means of experimental data in dry conditions at fixed air mass flow rate. Predictions of sound power spectra by means of the standard are found to be more accurate compared to those obtained following Reethof & Ward (1986), also in conditions of a choked orifice. In case of multiphase flow already at very low liquid fractions of much less than 1%, the standard is no longer valid. The frequency spectrum is no longer determined by the jet noise but starts to be dominated by low frequency general multiphase flow. The Strouhal number based on the jet conditions is an order lower than Sr = 0.2 indicating process variations rather than jet noise. Furthermore, at choking conditions the further expansion which occurs in single phase flow is likely different at multiphase flow. For non-choked flow, the standard can be adapted using multiphase mixture properties. This does lead to a good prediction. However at choked conditions, this method fails.

Résumé :

Introduction: Staff use EP-4(0) type screening suits during work near overhead transmission lines (OTL) with the power frequency (PF) electric field (EF) permissible limit value (PLV) exceed. Staff work even at high ambient temperatures, which has an additional impact in the humans’ body functional state (FS). Scope: to study EP-4(0) type screening suit effect to human body functional state under work in sanitary protection zones of extremely high voltage OTL in the warm season. Materials and methods: In research studies of volunteers, climatic conditions were assessed. The skin and the kits’ inner surface temperature and humidity, as well as heart rate were recorded. The mean skin temperature, heat content and total moisture loss change were calculated. PF EF and magnetic fields (MF) levels hygienic assessment was carried out within the boundaries of OTL sanitary breaks. Results: Skin temperature, humidity and temperature of the kits’ inner surface values increase, as well as high level of heat content were revealed. EF and MF PF levels hygienic assessment under work at ground potential showed EF value excess up to 2 times near 500 kV and 750 kV OTL, while MF PLV were not exceeded for the entire work shift. Conclusion: Differences in human body FS indicators can be associated with the different length of OTL sanitary breaks. EF and MF PF levels hygienic assessment results require the work time restriction or EP-4(0) mandatory use.

Résumé :

Recent applications of the ‘slice POD’ to the axisymmetric turbulent wake and jet are reviewed, and the results used to provide a critique of commonly held views about these flows. It is argued that the so-called ‘coherent structures’ are simply artifacts of the source conditions, and have little to do with the far down-stream development of these flows. Also, experimental evidence is presented for the possible presence of Townsend’s large eddies, eddies whose primary role is to warp the mean motion. Finally, classical linear stability analysis which ‘predicted’ that only azimuthal mode-1 could be unstable for these flows is shown to be deficient, with the result that at very least modes-0, 1 and 2 could be important, consistent with the experiments.

Résumé :

Human interactions with the trainer during physical training can be highly engaging and motivating [1] and are based on rapport as a dynamic structure of mutual attentiveness and coordination [2]. Human-Agent interaction in virtual reality (VR) aims to establish interaction patterns and rapport with virtual agents similar to real life. Research shows that users react towards virtual agents similar to real people [3] and that rapport is established similar to human rapport [4]. Therefore, rapport with virtual trainers in exergames is used to enhance an engaging and motivating user experience.In this paper we report on the results from an evaluation study on perceptions and interactions with the virtual trainer “Anna” after a 6-week exergame training for senior patients with hypertension. The human-like “Anna” is the key element of interaction design in a gamified series of exergames developed in the bewARe project. Anna was developed as a realistic, full body, female figure (silhouette) to motivate participation in the VR training. The primary goal of our research was to evaluate to what extent senior users can establish rapport with the virtual trainer as a factor contributing to positive user experience and training outcomes. The evaluation was conducted with 23 participants aged 65 and older with diagnosed hypertension. The virtual trainer Anna facilitated user participation in both exergames by giving instructions, modeling movements and providing feedback during the exergames in the HTC Vive Pro Headset. We used the 15-item rapport scale by [5] to measure rapport. The study also applied further research instruments to explore perceptions of the virtual trainer such as the trait list with 9 items describing selected features of the virtual trainer, and the bipolar uncanniness questionnaire with 40 adjectives used to assess possible Uncanny Valley effects described by [6]. The results of the rapport scale indicate that the design of the virtual trainer was effective for establishing rapport especially in terms of building a relationship with the virtual trainer and enhancing the engagement of senior users to participate in the VR training. However, the design was less effective in creating a positive perception of the trainer as a warm, caring and respectful agent. The overall median of the rapport scale was 6 (Min:1,Max:8). The results of the evaluation of the trait list revealed that voice quality, speech pauses and bodily movements were rated highest, followed by head and hand movements. The lowest values were researched for face expression. In the Uncanny Valley questionnaire, the median value for the humannes scale was 1 (Min:-3,Max:3), for the attractiveness 1 (Min:0,Max:3) and for the eeriness 0 (Min:-1,Max:0). Furthermore, the paper explores the relationships between the rapport scores and the perception of senior trainees of selected characteristics of the virtual agent and the uncanniness scale. Finally, given the diverse results from the study, the paper discusses possible design options for enhanced rapport and motivational effects of a virtual trainer based on the analysis of literature in related areas.References1.
