Allied health professionals' roles and boundaries in the 'new' NHS

Changes in the way health care services are delivered in England have affected the roles and boundaries of healthcare professionals. The agendas of skill mix and inter-disciplinary team work have been facilitated by the migration of services into primary care. There is a growing body of research addressing the effect of healthcare organisation and delivery on the roles and boundaries of doctors and nurses. Very little research has focused on the third largest section of the professional healthcare workforce, allied health professionals. This study investigated the roles and boundaries of allied health professionals working in primary and secondary care contexts. An ethnographic extended case based methodology was adopted. Two case studies were taken from a secondary care organisation, and two from a primary care organisation. Cases were identified in discussion with professional leads from the two organisations. Within the cases both purposeful and convenience sampling approaches were applied. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews, field work and non-participant observations. Analysis consisted of a broadly thematic approach; the emergent themes were presented within the case reports as an interpretive poly-narrative. Structuration theory provided a framework on which to develop a cross case analysis and frame the interpretations overall. The emergent themes highlighted a number of important aspects related to professional roles and boundaries. The primary element shaping the roles and boundaries of allied health professionals was the complexity of the patient. The findings indicated a positive relationship between transparent and structured care and patient centred practice and team work. Finally and of significance was a neglect of rehabilitation within both primary and secondary care. In order to promote inter-professional team work and patient centred practice there needs to be clarity of patient need and focus of service provision. The neglect of rehabilitation will have far reaching implications for the future.
Vocal emotion recognition in school-age children: normative data for the EmoHI test

Traditionally, emotion recognition research has primarily used pictures and videos while audio test materials have received less attention and are not always readily available. Particularly for testing vocal emotion recognition in hearing-impaired listeners, the audio quality of assessment materials may becrucial. Here, we present a vocal emotion recognition test with non-language specific pseudospeech productions of multiple speakers expressing three core emotions (happy, angry, and sad): the EmoHI test. Recorded with high sound quality, the test is suitable to use with populations of children and adults with normal or impaired hearing, and across different languages. In the present study, we obtained normative data for vocal emotion recognition development in normal-hearing school-age (4-12 years) children using the EmoHI test. In addition, we tested Dutch and English children to investigate cross-language effects. Our results show that children’s emotion recognition accuracy scores improved significantly with age from the youngest group tested on (mean accuracy 4-6 years: 48.9%), but children’s performance did not reach adult-like values (mean accuracy adults: 94.1%) even for the oldest age group tested (mean accuracy 10-12 years: 81.1%). Furthermore, the effect of age on children’s development did not differ across languages. The strong but slow development in children’s ability to recognize vocal emotions emphasizes the role of auditory experience in forming robust representations of vocal emotions. The wide range of age-related performances that are captured and the lack of significant differences across the tested languages affirm the usability and versatility of the EmoHI test.

The impact of humidity on vortex creation around isolated buildings

ABSTRACT The effect of humidity on the climatic conditions and the turbulence around an isolated building has not been yet investigated in literature. This paper analyses the simultaneous effect of architectural and environmental parameters on the vortex creation around a building, focusing on the impact of relative humidity. Sixty-four 3D computational fluid dynamics simulations have been performed, coupling 4 values of inlet velocity, air temperature, solar radiation and building height with 4 values of relative humidity. Results demonstrated that the inclusion of humidity in the simulations has an impact on the vortex creation. Differences in values and trends of the vortex dimensions (H c, X c, and L c) were obtained compared to previous studies where relative humidity was not considered. The highest percentage difference between the two studies regards the building height, where the addition of relative humidity made the X c value decrease by up to 56%. Among the analysed environmental parameters, building height has the higher impact on the characteristics of the vortex, followed by air velocity. The results have been compared with the analytic formula of the ASHRAE Handbook. Cubic mathematical equations have been developed correlating the vortex dimensions with building height, air velocity and relative humidity.
Comparison of Multiple Methods for Obtaining P $\Omega$ Resistances With Low Uncertainties

Capabilities for high-resistance determinations are essential for calibration of currents below 1 pA, as typically requested in several applications, including semiconductor device characterization, single-electron transport, and ion beam technologies. This need to calibrate low currents warrants the expansion of accessible values of high resistance. We present several methods for measuring resistances on the <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{P}\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula> scale, namely potentiometry, dual-source bridge measurements, and teraohmmeter (TM) usage, all of which are subsequently compared to theoretical calculations. These methods were used to measure four 1-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{P}\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula> resistances, one 10-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{P}\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula> resistance, and one 100-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{P}\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula> resistance, all generated by wye-delta (Y-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\Delta $ </tex-math></inline-formula>) networks containing three resistance elements. The differences between the experimentally obtained values and the theoretical values typically agree within 1% for 1-, 10-, and 100-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{P}\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula> resistances and the measurement uncertainties for the three techniques were estimated to be between 0.4%–4.8% for 1 <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{P}\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula>, 2.8%–5.6% for 10 <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{P}\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula>, and 4.4%–10.2% for 100 <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{P}\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula>.
Factor Analysis of Training, Knowledge, Supervision, and Unsafe Actions on Occupational Accidents at PT X

Introduction: Industrial accidents are accidents occurring in the workplace, especially in the industrial environment. According to the data, the occupational accidents at PT X in RKC (raw mill, kiln, cooler) Operational Section of Slag Production are still found annually. From 2015 to 2017, there had been nine occupational accidents recorded. There was one occupational accident in 2015, five occurrences in 2016, and three occurrences in 2017. This study aimed to analyze the factors of supervision, training, knowledge, and unsafe actions that can lead to occupational accidents suffered by the workers in RKC Operational Section of Slag Production at PT X. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study with a population of 19 people by implementing the descriptive test analysis to describe the percentage of each observed dependent variable. Results: This study revealed that 78.9% of the workers claimed that the supervision was good, 73.7% agreed that the training was good, 57.9% agreed that they had good knowledge, and 52.6% claimed to conduct unsafe actions in moderate level. Conclusion: the factors of supervision, training, and knowledge were influential to the occurrence of occupational accidents, yet they remained within the tolerable level since almost all workers performed in the good category in those categories. On the other hand, unsafe actions had a considerable influence on the occurrence of occupational safety and health since the majority of the workers performed unsafe actions moderately. Keywords: factor analysis, occupational accidents, unsafe actions
Creativity and innovation in haute cuisine restaurants: factors affecting the creative process of Michelin-rated chefs

Purpose of the paper: Creativity and innovation in haute cuisine restaurants are being explored. The paper seeks to understand what factors influence the creative process in culinary activities. Methodology: The exploratory analysis has been conducted by using a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) based on primary data obtained from a survey of 132 Italian Michelin stared Chefs. Findings: Three key factors were found to stimulate creativity. The withinindividual factor reflects the chef ’s personal inclination for creativity. The second factor consists of external sources beyond the individual chef that can significantly enhance or constrain creativity. Lastly, an important practical factor encompasses contextual components, such as the need to consider financial sustainability and cost control. Research limits: The paper is focused on the Italian context and caution has to be used when generalizing the results of the study to different contexts. The research has an exploratory nature. Findings have to be confirmed by further analyses. Practical implications: The paper concludes with a suggested set of management capabilities to support the success of efforts that transform novel ideas into new and desirable culinary experiences for competitive positioning of haute cuisine restaurants. Originality of the paper: The first results of a work-in progress research help understanding how the approach to creativity influences the development of culinary innovations, which ultimately lead to the financial performance of restaurants.
Decolonial education and geography: Beyond the 2017 Royal Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers annual conference

This review is inspired by the recent resurgence of grassroots movements aimed at the decolonisation of education. The departure point of the paper are the numerous, recent academic responses to campaigns such as Rhodes Must Fall, Why is My Curriculum White? , Why Isn't My Professor Black? , and #LiberateMyDegree. Following from there, the narrative is divided into two sections. The first part reviews theoretical approaches to decolonial education, especially those rooted in the modernity/coloniality/decoloniality paradigm. The second part analyses the ways in which geographers have applied these ideas to our discipline. The review pays particular attention to the 2017 Royal Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers annual conference, curated under the “Decolonising geographical knowledges” theme. I argue that as geographers, we have to continue reflecting on the meaning of decolonial praxis, especially in relation to geographical education, beyond the recent conference. To these ends, the review concludes with seven specific questions for geographers to consider in the near future.
On Video Analysis of Omnidirectional Bee Traffic: Counting Bee Motions with Motion Detection and Image Classification

Omnidirectional bee traffic is the number of bees moving in arbitrary directions in close proximity to the landing pad of a given hive over a given period of time. Video bee traffic analysis has the potential to automate the assessment of omnidirectional bee traffic levels, which, in turn, may lead to a complete or partial automation of honeybee colony health assessment. In this investigation, we proposed, implemented, and partially evaluated a two-tier method for counting bee motions to estimate levels of omnidirectional bee traffic in bee traffic videos. Our method couples motion detection with image classification so that motion detection acts as a class-agnostic object location method that generates a set of regions with possible objects and each such region is classified by a class-specific classifier such as a convolutional neural network or a support vector machine or an ensemble of classifiers such as a random forest. The method has been, and is being iteratively field tested in BeePi monitors, multi-sensor electronic beehive monitoring systems, installed on live Langstroth beehives in real apiaries. Deployment of a BeePi monitor on top of a beehive does not require any structural modification of the beehive’s woodenware, and is not disruptive to natural beehive cycles. To ensure the replicability of the reported findings and to provide a performance benchmark for interested research communities and citizen scientists, we have made public our curated and labeled image datasets of 167,261 honeybee images and our omnidirectional bee traffic videos used in this investigation.
Does self-compassion protect adolescents who are victimized or suffer from academic difficulties from depression?

ABSTRACT Adolescents face many social and academic difficulties which, if not managed properly, can lead to depression. Self-compassion, a kind and caring orientation towards oneself, has emerged as a possible resilience factor alleviating depression. Self-compassion comprises two factors: self-compassion and self-coldness. The present study set out to investigate whether self-compassion weakens or self-coldness strengthens the association between depression and two difficult circumstances: victimization and academic difficulties (ADs). The sample consisted of 2383 students who had recently made the transition to upper secondary education. The study was cross-sectional and employed a hierarchical regression analysis approach. Strongest interactions were followed up with simple slope analysis. Self-compassion (inversely), self-coldness, ADs, and victimization were statistically significant predictors of depression. Self-compassion weakened the association between ADs and depression. The results suggest encountering difficulties in adolescence and depression are related and that self-compassion may moderate the association.
Children’s self-regulation and coping strategies in a frustrated context in early education

Background: A large body of earlier research has focused on studying children’s self-regulation (SR) skills and frustration with different methods. However, considerably less attention has been given to hearing children’s own voice. The current study sought to demonstrate children’s own comprehension and highlight it as a valuable and unique tendency to fill the scientific gap in the research area. Aim: This research aimed to contribute the empirical understanding of how SR, as mental ability, supported children’s coping strategies and comprehensions which they will possibly use in a hypothetical frustrated context in the Finnish early childhood education and care (ECEC) environment. Setting: Self-regulation and strategies in a frustrating context were studied with mixed methods in a sample (n = 383) of 48–87-month-old children in Finland. Self-regulation was assessed by their own teachers with an evaluation form. The coping strategies of frustration were studied by interview where the children’s open-ended descriptions provided the strategies told by themselves. Methods: The study’s was conducted by using mixed methods. Two independent instruments to measure SR and strategies for frustration were used. Self-regulation was assessed by teacher with an evaluation form. The coping strategies of frustration were studied via child interview. Results: Good SR skills were related to persistent coping strategies and not giving up in a simulated situation. Weak SR skills related more with uncertain or withdrawal coping strategies, like giving up, or abandoning the situation. Conclusion: Self-regulation skills have an important role in guiding children with their use and narration of suitable coping strategies on overcoming the frustration effectively. The concrete strategies would allow teachers to work concretely with children in enhancing their SR skills and coping strategies further.
Effect of Waste Dumpsite Pollutant Emission on Air Quality in the Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the Federal Capital Territory has resulted in serious environmental and health problems due to improper management. Air Pollution is from waste dumpsites is one of the major environmental concerns in FCT due to the disposal system and uncontrolled burning of MSW. Effect of Waste Dumpsite pollutant emission on Air Quality in the FCT was investigated. Concentration level of six (6) air quality parameters which include methane (CH4), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) were determined in the wet and dry season period in eleven (11) dumpsites and three (3) randomly selected non-dump (control) sites in the FCT were determined using a series of hand-held air quality monitoring equipment. Results indicate that levels of CH4 ranged between 0.0000 mg/m to 0.1699 mg/m and 0.0000mg/m to 0.0638 mg/m for the wet and dry seasons respectively. The wet season mean concentration range for NO2 was 0.0157 mg/m to 2.0218 mg/m, while it was 0.0000mg/m to 1.0035 mg/m for the dry season. The levels of SO2 ranged between 0.1092 mg/m to 1.8122 mg/m in the wet season and 0.0000 mg/m to 0.3639 mg/m for the dry season. Concentration level of CO ranged between 0.0862 mg/m to 1.9005 mg/m and 0.1114 mg/m to 14.0638 mg/m for the wet and dry seasons respectively. H2S ranged 0.0232 mg/m to 0.4404 mg/m during the wet season and 0.0232 mg/m to 0.4065 mg/m for the dry season. While that of CO2 ranged between 1.7669 g/m to 2.3802 g/m3 for wet season and 1.6365 g/m to 1.9923 g/m. On the whole, concentration of most measured gases was higher at the dumpsites relative to the control points. Test of Correlation analysis reveal that most of the gas pollutants showed positive significant correlation at 95% and 99% confidence interval. Fvalue was greater than F-critical at α<0.01, which indicated a significant difference in concentration of air quality parameters between the wet and dry seasons. Open dumping and uncontrolled fires in the study area could threaten the health of human life especially the dumpsite workers and the neighbourhood who are regularly exposed to these pollutants. The levels of SO2, CO, H2S and CO2 were above NESREA & FEPA permissible limits while CH4 and NO2 were within the standards in both wet and dry seasons. There is a need to develop better practices with regard to municipal solid waste open dump site operation and emission control.
An Evaluation of Adaptations Made to Check-In Check-Out

Check-in check-out (CICO) is a widely implemented program aimed at increasing prosocial behavior. Aligned with the logic of Tier 2 supports, CICO has a standard protocol meant to be implemented in a standardized fashion across all students. However, as CICO is not effective for all at-risk students, it is quite common to find researchers implementing adapted versions of CICO. The purpose of this review was to explore the types of, rationale for, and timing of adaptations made to CICO. Results showed that 71% of studies using CICO made adaptations to core components. While most of these adaptations were made at the onset of treatment, we found little evidence to suggest researchers had a systematic process for selecting adaptations. As schools continue to seek the most efficient and effective means to provide behavior supports to students, adaptive intervention planning is an important process to consider.
An investigation on specific absorption rate reduction materials with human tissue cube for biomedical applications

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of human exposure due to electromagnetic fields and to reduce the specific absorption rate (SAR). This work focuses on the implementation of different electromagnetic shield materials such as conductive materials, dielectric materials, ferrite materials, and metamaterials that are currently used for SAR reduction. The experimental analysis is performed with the global system for mobile communication (GSM) dipole antenna operating at 900 MHz as its radiation source. The designed dipole is placed in front of a cube with similar dielectric properties of human tissue. The computation, implementation, and evaluation are performed by using the method of moments. Further calculation of SAR reduction factor (SRF), SAR 1 g, gain, directivity, and beamwidth are estimated for 15 different shield materials. There is a need for an ideal shield material that could reduce SAR and does not compromise the performance of the radiation structure. This work investigates and proposes the nanomaterials and composites as suitable shield materials for SAR reduction. This novel approach of implementation of nanomaterials has proved to increase the SRF over 90% than conventional reduction materials. In addition, gain and directivity are also increased by 50% than the existing shield materials. The currently used materials are compared with the proposed nanomaterials, and the results are analyzed. The results indicate that the nanomaterials and its composites are ideal shield material for SAR reduction.
