On doing ‘risk work’ in the context of successful outcomes: exploring how medication safety is brought into action through health professionals’ everyday working practices

Interest in risk has grown exponentially in healthcare, resulting in a plethora of policies and guidelines to manage risk at all levels across the healthcare system. However, the impact of risk on the nature and experiences of healthcare work remains a relatively neglected area of research on risk in healthcare. Building on the concept of ‘risk work’, in this article we examine how medication safety is brought into action through health professionals’ everyday working practices at the point of medication administration. Drawing on two closely related data sets, both generated in a large paediatric hospital providing secondary and tertiary care in England, we argue that medication-related risks are constructed and negotiated through situated social interactions. Frontline practitioners actively reconcile the logics of risk work and good-quality bedside patient care enabling them to get risk work done to successfully meet the formally established standards of quality and safety performance. ‘Risk work’ has the potential to make visible and explicit a range of risk-related practices that may not be acknowledged as such if they do not align with the established meanings of risk and the normative frameworks built around them. A focus on ‘risk work’ can bring in a new lens to the study of risk in healthcare with the potential to generate learning from how risk work gets done in the context of routine clinical practice and successful outcomes, rather than incidents and failures, in healthcare service provision.
Knee osteoarthritis and aquatic cycling : Development and evaluation of an exercise programme

Aquatic cycling: a new way to train damaged knees Cycling, water and damaged knees – Stefanie Rewald researched whether aquatic cycling can help reduce the pain of knee osteoarthritis. It is the first time this form of training was researched in the Netherlands. Participants cycled twice a week in a swimming pool. After twelve weeks of aquatic cycling, the participants had less knee pain, more mobility and they enjoyed the exercise. Aquatic cycling, when done under expert supervision, could therefore become a new training option for the 600,000 people in the Netherlands with knee osteoarthritis. Maastricht plans to continue with this form of training and set up an aquatic cycling group at the Geusseltbad together with Maastricht Sport. Here, people can cycle at their own level. The study was conducted at the Maastricht University Medical Centre+ (MUMC+) and was financed by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO).
Examining a metric for predicting the accessibility of information within hypertext structures

This study evaluated a proposed metric intended to ascertain the accessibility of information associated with various hypertext structures. This was done by determining if the derived information accessibility metric index corresponded with tests of hypertext accessibility (task completion accuracy, search time, deviations from the optimal path, the number of back-page commands, and perceptions of ease-of-use and navigational disorientation) for these structures. This metric takes into account the overall ‘shape’ (i.e., depth, breadth, and topology) of a hypertext structure. In general, the metric accurately predicted information accessibility of the studied hypertexts. It was most accurate for the objective measures of search performance, especially the number of deviations from the optimal path, and the number of back-page commands for the more complex hypertext conditions. It was concluded that this metric could help serve as an accurate predictor of information accessibility for various types of hypertext structures.
EFFECT OF CIGARETTE SMOKING ON FORCED EXPIRATORY LUNG VOLUMES IN ASYMPTOMATIC SMOKERS

Background: Cigarette smoking causes airflow limitation with lung hyperinflation being the primary cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Most of the smokers have subclinical parenchymal lung disease. Early diagnosis and treatment decrease the rate of morbidity and mortality. Aim and objective: The aim of our present study was to assess the forced expiratory volumes like forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory lung volume in 1 second (FEV1), percentage of FEV1 (FEV1%), forced expiratory flow during 25-75% of expiration (FEF 25-75%) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) in asymptomatic smokers. Method: The study was conducted in 50 asymptomatic smokers using computerized spirometer and the data was compared and analysed with the values of 50 non-smokers. Result: All the forced expiratory lung volumes were decreased in smokers when compared to non-smokers. Conclusion: Cigarette smoking cause a definite deterioration in lung function though the subjects were asymptomatic.

Transparent In-memory Cache for Hadoop-MapReduce

Transparent in-memory cache for Hadoop-MapReduce Venkatesh Nandakumar Master of Applied Science Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2014 Many analytic applications built on Hadoop ecosystem have a propensity to iteratively perform repetitive operations on same input data. To remove the burden of these repetitive operations, new frameworks for MapReduce have been introduced, which make users follow its programming model. We propose a solution to the problem of application rewriting that newer frameworks impose. We re-architected Hadoop core to add in-memory caching & cache-aware task-scheduling. We set out to match the performance of a state-of-the-art high speed, in-memory MapReduce architecture with caching (Spark). While Spark[1] reimplements the MapReduce paradigm, it comes with a new set of new API’s and abstractions. We maintain the familiar Hadoop framework and API’s, thus complete backward compatibility for any existing Hadoop-based software. This ensures no changes to existing applications code whatsoever. It guarantees no-pain installation over existing deployments while providing 4.5-12X performance improvement. We perform comparable to, and in some cases
Modelling for understanding AND for prediction / classification-the power of neural networks in research

Two articles, Edelsbrunner and, Schneider (2013), and Nokelainen and Silander (2014) comment on Musso, Kyndt, Cascallar, and Dochy (2013). Several relevant issues are raised and some important clarifications are made in response to both commentaries. Predictive systems based on artificial neural networks continue to be the focus of current research and several advances have improved the model building and the interpretation of the resulting neural network models. What is needed is the courage and open-mindedness to actually explore new paths and rigorously apply new methodologies which can perhaps, sometimes unexpectedly, provide new conceptualisations and tools for theoretical advancement and practical applied research. This is particularly true in the fields of educational science and social sciences, where the complexity of the problems to be solved requires the exploration of proven methods and new methods, the latter usually not among the common arsenal of tools of neither practitioners nor researchers in these fields. This response will enrich the understanding of the predictive systems methodology proposed by the authors and clarify the application of the procedure, as well as give a perspective on its place among other predictive approaches.
Synchronization and Fault-tolerance in Distributed Algorithms

Dans la premiere partie de ce memoire, nous etudions le modele des protocoles de population, introduit dans\cite{DBLP:conf/podc/BeauquierBCK10}. Ce modele permet de representer les grands reseaux de capteurs (ou agents) mobiles anonymes dotes de faibles ressources. Les contraintes de ce modele sont si severes que la plupart des problemes classiques d'algorithmique repartie, tels que la collecte de donnees, le consensus ou l'election d'un leader, sont difficiles a analyser, sinon impossibles a resoudre.Nous commencons notre etude par le probleme de collecte de donnees. Celui-ci consiste principalement a transferer des valeurs reparties dans la population d'agents mobiles vers une station de base en un minimum de temps (temps de convergence). En utilisant un hypothese d'equite, dite hypothese de temps couvertures et introduite dans \cite{DBLP:conf/podc/BeauquierBCK10}, nous calculons des bornes optimales sur le temps de convergences de differents protocoles concrets. Ensuite, nous etudions le probleme du consensus et d'election de leader. Il a ete montre que ces problemes sont impossibles a resoudre dans le modele original des protocoles de population. Pour contourner cette impossibilite, il est possible d'adjoindre au modele certaines hypotheses sous la forme d'oracles. Nous proposons ensuite divers oracles permettant de resoudre le probleme du consensus et d'election de leader dans divers environnements, et nous etudions leurs puissances relatives. Ce faisant, nous developpons un cadre formel permettant de representer toutes les varietes d'oracles introduites, ainsi que leur possibles relations.Dans la seconde partie de ce memoire, nous etudions le probleme de la replication de machine a etats finis dans le modele (classique) de communications asynchrones a passage de message. L'algorithme Paxos, introduit dans \cite{lamportPartTimeParliament,lamport01paxos} est une solution (partielle) bien connue au probleme de la replication capable de tolerer des pannes crash. Notre contribution, dans cette partie,consiste a ameliorer Paxos afin qu'il puisse egalement tolerer des defaillances transitoires. Ce faisant, nous definissons la notions de machine repliquee pratiquement autostable.
Impact of yoga on balance, balance confidence and occupational performance for adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathy: A pilot study

Introduction The purpose of this study was to examine the preliminary efficacy of yoga on balance, balance confidence, occupational performance, and satisfaction with performance in adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Method Fifteen adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathy attended eight weeks of yoga, including positive affirmations, breathing, postures and relaxation. Balance was measured using the Berg balance scale; balance confidence, using the activities-specific balance confidence scale; and occupational performance and satisfaction, using the Canadian occupational performance measure. We used a non-controlled pretest–posttest design. Findings Significant improvements were found for all measures. Improvements remained significant after the Bonferroni correction (α = 0.05/4–0.0125) and effect sizes were large for occupational performance and satisfaction (dCohen = 1.13, 1.07, respectively). Conclusion Yoga may significantly improve balance, balance confidence, occupational performance, and satisfaction for adults with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Further research utilizing a control group, a larger sample size, and randomization is required.

Maternal Outcome in Unsafe Termination of Pregnancy - A Tertiary Care Hospital Experience

Background: World Health Organization (WHO) defines unsafe abortion as a procedure for terminating an unintended pregnancy either by individuals without the necessary skills or in an environment that does not conform to minimum medical standards, or both. Unsafe abortion has been attributed to 4.7 to 13.2% of maternal deaths each year and about 7 million women are reportedly admitted to the hospitals following unsafe abortion every year in the developing countries. This study aims to analyze the most frequently occurring complications and maternal outcomes due to unsafe termination of pregnancy (abortions and miscarriage) in patients presented at a tertiary care setting. Patients and Methods: A total of 30 patients admitted with complications due to unsafe termination of pregnancy were evaluated. The study was conducted at the emergency of Obstetrics and Gynecology department, General Hospital, Lahore from November 2016 till November 2017. Data was collected prospectively from patients through a performa containing basic demographic and unsafe abortion-related questions after their informed consent. Results: Mean age of the patients was 30.6±6.46 years while gestational age was 8.3±2.74 weeks. Almost all patients, 29 (96.7%) out of 30 were married. A majority (73%) of women had high parity. More than 90% women had also the history of previous abortions; however, only 5 (16.7%) had the history of unsafe abortions out of total sample. Dai’s were the most preferred service provider for this type of abortion and used home environment for abortions. Retained products of conception (RPOC), uterine perforation, endometritis, and septicemia were most common complications. All patients had received the antibiotics while 28 (93.3%) patients received the blood transfusion. Only 2 (6%) patients had received hysterectomy treatment for complications of unsafe abortion. Three patients (10%) maternal deaths were also recorded. Conclusion: This study concludes that unskilled service providers are still common abortionists in the community. Likewise, considerable maternal deaths are still waiting to deal with. Government institution and community awareness integrated model can reduce this problem and its impact on the health care system and women health as well.

EFFECTIVENESS OF FARTLEK TRAINING ON MAXIMUM OXYGEN CONSUMPTION AND RESTING PULSE RATE

The rationale of this study was to appraise the outcome of the twelve weeks of supervised fartlek training programme on selected physiological parameters. For this purpose twelve male athletes from Dr. S. Ramadoss Arts and Science College, Virudhachalam, in the age group of 20 to 22 years took part in the study. The selected subjects were subjected to twelve weeks of farlek training programme. The selected criterion variables namely: maximum oxygen consumption and resting pulse rate were assessed using standard tests and procedures, prior to and subsequent to the training regimen. The pretest and posttest data collected on criterion variables were statistically examined by applying ‘t’ test to find out the significant difference if any. The analysis of data revealed that twelve weeks of farlek training programme significantly improved maximum oxygen consumption and resting pulse rate. These findings propose that the experimental variable has the significant influence in improving the selected criterion variables.

This article resulted from research on Dutch mortality by age period and cohort in the years 1843-1991 conducted at the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI) in The Hague. Changing definitions of terms used in infant mortality analysis in the entire period are investigated and their impact on stillbirths infant deaths and (live and total) births are demonstrated. Sex and age-specific trends in infant mortality in the Netherlands recalculated due to current definitions are presented and commented. Finally some reflections on the possible future trends of infant mortality in the Netherlands are discussed. (EXCERPT)
Factors affecting Indian consumers’ online buying behavior

India has been gaining importance as a high potential lucrative market for global retailers. Since the recent economic reforms, Indian consumers have just begun to understand benefits of using Internet for shopping. However, the growing number of Internet users has not been reflected to the online sales. Thus, it is important to identify factors affecting Indian consumers’ online buying behavior in order to find the way to stimulate their online shopping behavior. The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting Indian consumers’ attitude toward shopping online by investigating Indian consumers’ risk perceptions about shopping online. Constructs tested included previously identified factors (convenience risk, product risk, financial risk, perceived behavior control, return policy, subjective norm, attitude, and technology specific innovativeness) and Indian-specific factors (concerns associated with delivery of an ordered product and cyber laws, shipping fees, and after service) specifically developed for this study. The concerns associated with delivery of product, social and perceived behavioral control have been found to be significant factors affecting attitude toward using Internet for shopping. In terms of gender difference, perceived risks (product, convenience, financial, and non-delivery) and technology specific innovativeness were found to be significant for males and, for females, convenience risk and attitude towards online shopping were significant factors.
