Representing models of practice

Practice models are generic approaches to the structuring and orchestration of learning activities for pedagogic purposes, intended to promote sharing of effective e-learning practice. This chapter surveys the background to the idea of practice models, and then examines the issues surrounding their representation that emerged from the UK Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC)-funded Mod4L project. These issues are ones of purpose, design as a process, granularity, community, and characterisation. It analyses the purpose and the metaphor for design, coupled with consideration of the audience for practice models, suggesting that while generic models are useful for technical developers, they may not be an effective way of sharing teaching practice.

DENTAL MORPHOLOGY ANALYSIS OF AFRO-COLOMBIAN SCHOOLCHILDREN FROM VILLA RICA, CAUCA, COLOMBIA

Introduction: the study of dental morphology allows establishing the evolutionary state (biological distance and crossbreeding status) of a community, offering information on its ethno-historical processes (in this case a Colombian population) within the anthropological, dental, and forensic contexts. Methods: this was a quantitative, transversal, descriptive study with the intention of establishing dental morphology by means of the Asudas system (Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System) based on thirteen crown morphologic dental traits (winging, crowding, shovel-shaped central incisors, shovel-shaped lateral incisors, double shoveling, Carabelli’s cusp, hypocone reduction, deflecting wrinkle, protostylid, cusp pattern, cusp number, cusp 6, and cusp 7) Results: significant frequencies of these traits were observed: Carabelli’s cusp, configuration of cuspid patterns X5 and X6 (LM1) and +4 and +5 (LM2), absence of hypocone reduction, relative frequency of cusp 7, and low frequencies of shovel-shaped incisors and double shoveling. It may also be stated that the studied crown morphologic dental traits (CMDT) do not show sexual dimorphism or bilateral asymmetry. Conclusions: the analyzed sample shows a dental morphology typical of populations of the Caucasoid dental complex; however, the influence of Mongoloid groups and biological affinities with Caucasoid mestizo groups and Afro-Colombian populations is also evident.
An Empirical Investigation for Alignment of Communities of Practice with Organization Using Fuzzy Delphi Panel

Purpose: The main objective of this research is to design a model to outline the structure of communities of practice corresponding to organizational context.Design/methodology/approach: This research utilizes both descriptive and prescriptive approaches since we are looking for a comprehensive relational model to deal with the problem of selecting suitable CoPs (Communities of Practice) concerning organizational context. Thus this study applies interviewing and fuzzy Delphi methods to explore the model.Findings: The work provides a new and comprehensive relational model of CoPs and organizational variables affecting CoPs structure. In this model, three basic concepts of the literature were developed. First, the components concerning types of communities of practice were identified and then the organizational variables related to CoPs were determined. Finally, we extracted the relationships between the organizational variables and the components of communities of practice.Practical implications: From a practical perspective, the relationships among the components concerning types of communities of practice and the organizational variables may provide a model which can effectively guide firms how to promote, design and manage communities of practice within organizational contexts.Originality/value: The results of this study contribute to CoPs literature in terms of identification of two variables (CoPs components and organizational variables) to produce a matrix for the construction of a holistic CoPs model. The significant finding of this research is the guidance it provides for designing a relational model involving relations between organizational variables and CoPs components.
Two MIS Analysis Methods: An Experimental Comparison

Abstract The data flow diagrams method (DFD) is still the most popular technique taught and used in the management information systems field. However, the object-oriented analysis method (OOA) is being given attention in information systems development. An experiment was conducted to compare the two methods in terms of effectiveness in systems analysis. The DFD method seemed to be easier to learn than the OOA method for inexperienced participants. However, after a certain period of training, participants who used the OOA method for systems analysis made fewer errors than those who used the DFD method. On the basis of this study, it is recommended that OOA be taught in business schools.

Expanding Role of β‐Blockade in the Management of Chronic Heart Failure

Although recent advances have been made in the treatment of heart failure, this disease continues to result in significant morbidity and mortality. Among the negative effects associated with progression of heart failure are decline in myocardial reserve, decreased exercise tolerance, decreased contractile function, and altered cardiac gene expression. Guidelines recommend neurohormonal antagonists for treatment and stress the importance of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibition and β‐blockade in reversing the cardiac remodeling process. β‐Blockade slows or reverses the adverse effects resulting from chronic adrenergic stimulation. Traditionally, β‐blockers were reserved for mild‐to‐moderate heart failure, based on evidence from large, randomized clinical trials showing their positive effects on myocardial function and clinical outcomes. More recently, clinical data reveal that the agents can be expanded to patients with severe heart failure and those with left ventricular systolic dysfunction after myocardial infarction. Individual β‐blocking agents vary in their pharmacology and dosing requirements. These variations may influence treatment decisions and affect clinical measurements of left ventricular function and ventricular remodeling.
Antiviral Therapy for Hepatitis C Prophylaxis in Percutaneous Exposure and Acute Hepatitis C

Incidence of percutaneous exposure to hepatitis C virus (HCV) is still quite high, particularly in medical staffs. Though not all will cause infection, but if acute HCV infection occurs, it usually develops into chronic hepatitis which finally causes cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Untill now, there is no standard method either in regiments, administration time, or duration of administration to prevent HCV infection after exposure occurs, as well as the use of antiviral therapy in acute HCV. HCV therapy target is viral eradication, thus the therapy response is defined using virological parameter than clinical parameter. Different from hepatitis B virus (HBV), immunoglobulin administration after exposure to HCV is not recommended as it is not proven to prevent transmission, similarly with pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) or interferon (IFN) administration. In addition, several studies concluded that risk of HCV transmission after percutaneous exposure is low, therefore regular strict monitoring (monthly in the first 16 weeks after exposure) to clinical and laboratory results (HCV-RNA, alanine aminotransferase) is more required, so that detection and early treatment to acute HCV can be performed, considering that several studies showed that early monotherapy using IFN/PEG-IFN in acute HCV could reach quite high sustained virological response (SVR). Keywords: hepatitis C, post exposure prophylaxis, acute infection treatment
Fusion of handwritten numeral classifiers based on fuzzy and genetic algorithms

Fuzzy and genetic algorithms are used to develop an approach for fusioning multiple handwritten numeral classifiers. A computational scheme of the Choquet (fuzzy) integral serves as a data fusion tool, whereas genetic algorithms are implemented to optimize the derivation of fuzzy densities which play a very important role for the calculation of fuzzy measures and fuzzy integrals. Several experimental results are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of this methodology.
THE BEHAVIORAL EFFECTS OF FIRST-GENERATION ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES AFTER 24-HOUR TOBACCO DEPRIVATION

OF THESIS THE BEHAVIORAL EFFECTS OF FIRST-GENERATION ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES AFTER 24-HOUR TOBACCO DEPRIVATION Little is currently known about the ability of electronic cigarettes to manage tobacco withdrawal symptoms and their abuse liability. In the current study eight conventional cigarette smokers completed nine within-subject study sessions. In the first session participants practiced using an electronic cigarette containing 16 mg/ml of nicotine over six 10-puff bouts. Remaining study sessions were comprised of four twoday blocks (one for each condition), which assessed measures of tobacco withdrawal symptoms and abuse liability following unrestricted cigarette smoking and 24-hour tobacco deprivation. Study conditions included an electronic cigarette with 0, 8, or 16 mg/ml nicotine concentrations, or preferred brand of conventional cigarette. Following 24-hours of tobacco deprivation, smoking conventional cigarettes ameliorated many of the self-report and physiological symptoms (decreased heart rate) associated with tobacco deprivation, while no attenuation of withdrawal symptoms was indicated following using electronic cigarettes, independent of nicotine dose. On abuse liability measures there were no significant changes following using an electronic cigarette (regardless of nicotine concentration), while conventional cigarettes engendered significant changes on abuse liability measures. Within the conditions of this study, first-generation electronic cigarettes had no measurable efficacy in ameliorating tobacco withdrawal symptoms and a reduced abuse liability compared to conventional tobacco cigarettes.
The immediate effect of sacroiliac manipulation on hip strength in patients suffering from chronic sacroiliac syndrome

The aim of this investigation was to investigate whether an immediate objective increase in hip strength was observed after an ipsilateral sacroiliac manipulation in patients suffering from chronic sacroiliac syndrome. The actions of hip flexion, extension, abduction and adduction were assessed. The study also investigated the patients’ subjective perception of pain due to the chronic sacroiliac syndrome before and after the manipulation. The proposed increases in strength would have been as a result of a reduction in arthrogenic muscle inhibition. Stimulation of nociceptors caused by the chronic sacroiliac syndrome would have lead to the presence of the arthrogenic muscle inhibition within the joint. Arthrogenic muscle inhibition has been described as an inability of a muscle group to utilise all its muscle fibres when performing a maximum voluntary contraction of that muscle group. Arthrogenic muscle inhibition is a joints natural response to pain, damage or distension within the joint. The response is an ongoing reflex inhibition of the muscles surrounding the joint in order to protect the joint. The inhibition of the surrounding musculature clinically manifests itself as a decrease in strength of the affected muscles. The decreased strength levels hampers rehabilitation of the affected joints as active exercise forms a vital role in the rehabilitation process. Current treatment options used to reduce arthrogenic muscle inhibition include lidocaine injection into the joint, cryotherapy and transcutaneous nerve stimulation. These treatments are aimed rather at the reduction of pain, joint effusions and atrophy of the related musculature than at the reduction of arthrogenic muscle inhibition. Recent studies have proposed that manipulation reduced arthrogenic muscle inhibition by causing excitation of the joint receptors, called the Wyke receptors. Stimulation of these joint receptors is thought to cause an alteration in the afferent input to the motorneuron pool resulting in a reduction of arthrogenic muscle inhibition. This study aimed to investigate whether sacroiliac manipulation could reduce arthrogenic muscle inhibition at the hip by assessing the immediate gains in hip muscle strength. The problem statement was to evaluate if an immediate subjective or objective change in hip strength was observed after an ipsilateral sacroiliac manipulation in patients suffering from chronic sacroiliac syndrome.
Scoping Review of Sabotage and/or Tampering in the NHS

A scoping review on sabotage or tampering (within the NHS) with intent to injure was commissioned by the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA). This followed reports of blocked anaesthetic tubing during surgical procedures, which could have been the result of deliberate sabotage. OBJECTIVES: To undertake a scoping review of the literature relating to: 1. sabotage or tampering, with intent to injure, of equipment or medical products by staff, patients, carers or anyone else with access. 2. solutions that help to minimise the risk of sabotage or tampering. Literature from fields other than healthcare were considered relevant. The aim of the scoping review was to map the literature relating to sabotage or tampering.
Image analysis for the study of chromatin distribution in cell nuclei with application to cervical cancer screening

This thesis describes a set of image analysis tools developed for the purpose of quantifying the distribution of chromatin in (light) microscope images of cell nuclei. The distribution or pattern of chromatin is influenced by both external and internal variations of the cell environment, including variations associated with the cell cycle, neoplasia, apoptosis, and malignancy associated changes (MACs). The quantitative characterisation of this pattern makes possible the prediction of the biological state of a cell, or the detection of subtle changes in a population of cells. This has important application to automated cancer screening. The majority of existing methods for quantifying chromatin distribution (texture) are based on the stochastic approach to defining texture. However, it is the premise of this thesis that the structural approach is more appropriate because pathologists use terms such as clumping, margination, granulation, condensation, and clearing to describe chromatin texture, and refer to the regions of condensed chromatin as granules, particles, and blobs. The key to the structural approach is the segmentation of the chromatin into its texture primitives. Unfortunately all of the chromatin segmentation algorithms published in the literature suffer from one or both of the following drawbacks: (i) a segmentation that is not consistent with a human’s perception of blobs, particles, or granules; and (ii) the need to specify, a priori, one or more subjective operating parameters. The latter drawback limits the robustness of the algorithm to variations in illumination and staining quality. The structural model developed in this thesis is based on several novel low-, medium-, and high-level image analysis tools. These tools include: a class of non-linear self-dual filters, called folding induced self-dual filters, for filtering impulse noise; an algorithm, based on seeded region growing, for robustly segmenting chromatin; an improved seeded region growing algorithm that is independent of the order of pixel processing; a fast priority queue implementation suitable for implementing the
