Determining differences between novice and expert physiotherapists in undertaking emergency on-call duties

This study explored the perceptions of physiotherapists with different levels of context related experience undertaking emergency on-call duties in New Zealand (NZ). A purpose-designed questionnaire was developed to investigate whether differences existed between novice and expert physiotherapists in their perceptions of emergency on-call duties and in their responses to an emergency on-call vignette. A questionnaire was administered to 71 participants with varying levels of on-call experience, in all centres providing emergency on-call services within NZ. Years of active emergency on-call experience were used to classify novices (less than 5 years) and experts (more than 5 years). A response rate of 79% (n = 56) was obtained. Significant differences between novices and experts were seen in self-rated confidence scores, self-rated stress levels and perceived support required whilst undertaking emergency oncall duties (all p < .001). There were no statistically significant differences between novices and experts in response to any questions in the vignette. The results of this study provide useful information for service providers regarding the perceptions and concerns of emergency on-call physiotherapists. It is recommended that novice physiotherapists be provided with better opportunities to gain specific context related experience prior to undertaking emergency on-call duties in order to improve confidence levels and reduce stress associated with undertaking on-call duties. In addition, specific continuing professional development (CPD) opportunities and support mechanisms should be provided for all staff undertaking emergency on-call work.

ON THE FISHERY AND BIOLOGY OF THE CRAB PORTUNUS SANGUINOLENTUS (HERBST) ALONG THE SOUTH KANARA COAST

The fishery of the crab Portunus sanguinolenttis along the South Kanara coast extends generally from, December to May. The catches of the species at Mangalore during 1979-80, 1980-81 and 1981-82 are estimated respectively at 102.3 t, 100.2 t and 57.0 t. The catches at Malpe during 1980-81 and 1981-82 are at 65.9 t and 44.1 t, respectively. The carapace-width-body-weight relationship does not differ between sexes. Spawning takes place throughout the season, with peaks in February and April-May. Males are in excess of females, differing though not significantly from the expected 1 : 1 ratio. Fecundity is estimated to be ranging between 0.03 million (in a specimen of 83-mm carapace width) and 0.07 million (in a specimen of 113-mm carapace width), suggesting a positive relationship between size and fecundity. The L^, and e"'' values are found respectively at 173 mm and 0.7 in males and 163 mm and 0.75 in females

Are Women with Alcohol and Other Drug Use at Increased Risk of Placenta Praevia (PP)

Objective: To correlate the incidence of Low Lying placenta with maternal alcohol and other drug use (AOD) among pregnant women attending the Women and Newborn Drug and Alcohol Service (WANDAS), a specialist obstetric Drug and Alcohol Service situated at Women and Newborn Health Service King Edward Memorial Hospital (KEMH). Methods: A retrospective audit was undertaken of 751 maternal records compromising of the women attending Women and Newborn Drug and Alcohol Service (WANDAS) from 2010 to 2014. All women were scanned at approximately 20 weeks and again between 32 to 34 weeks gestation. The incidence of, low lying placenta, placenta praevia and maternal drug use was analysed. The maternal outcomes including mode of delivery, foetal outcome and maternal complications were compared with the general obstetric population at KEMH. In order to determine if maternal AOD use increased the risk of placentation issues. Results: Higher incidence of placenta praevia in 2012 and 2013 when compared with results from hospital population, P=0.013 in 2012 and 2013. Conclusion: Maternal AOD use increases the risk of placenta praevia and other maternal and neonatal co-morbidities.

Exploiting Explicit and Implicit Feedback for Personalized Ranking

The problem of the previous researches on personalized ranking is that they focused on either explicit feedback data or implicit feedback data rather than making full use of the information in the dataset. Until now, nobody has studied personalized ranking algorithm by exploiting both explicit and implicit feedback. In order to overcome the defects of prior researches, a new personalized ranking algorithm (MERR_SVD
Defining service quality in an outpatient clinic with complex constituency

The 2001 Institute of Medicine’s (I.O.M.) landmark report, Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21 Century observes that, “[though] medical science and technology have advanced at a rapid pace,. the health care delivery system has floundered in its ability to provide consistently high-quality care” (I.O.M. 2001). The report recommended six quality aims for a twenty-first century health care system; one of them being patient-centered care. It explains patient-centered care as “providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions” (I.O.M. 2001). This research is aimed at directly addressing this I.O. M. recommendation and seeks to understand quality care in the context of the I.O. M. guideline which clearly states that to achieve quality “the patient is the source of control of interactions” with the provider system. The objectives of this project are: (i) to gain a deeper and clearer understanding of the ways patients as customers of an outpatient clinic evaluate health care providers, and (ii) to determine if varying definitions of service quality exist with in a clinic containing a complex constituency. The project site chosen was the set of outpatient clinics at USF

Internal Pair-Merge: the Missing Mode of Movement

In this brief article, I point out the predicted existence of a second mode of movement (alongside Internal Set-Merge) that should be sanctioned under Chomsky’s Strong Minimalist Thesis, namely Internal Pair-Merge, essentially yielding ‘movement by adjunction’. I then suggest one possible area in which the computational system makes use of this mode of movement – namely, it allows us to implement Agree-less Move to phase heads (aka ‘pure EPP-movement’, or Chomsky’s (2007, 2008) Edge-Feature movement) without compromising the Activity Condition, thus potentially yielding a truly minimalist, narrow-syntactic analysis of optional, ‘discourse-driven’, ‘stylistic’ movement operations like topicalization and focus-movement. Not only does Internal Pair-Merge emerge as a theoretical possibility implied by the SMT (section 1), but it is also a device that is fully exploited by the computational system (section 2).
Stated preference surveys of remnant native vegetation conservation

Improving the conservation status of remnant native vegetation on private property (RNV) has a number of economic benefits. RNV can contribute to on-farm productivity through provision of unimproved grazing, timber products and stock shelter. It may contribute to enhancing the productivity of downstream properties though amelioration of land degradation associated with salinity, water quality decline and soil erosion. The Australian community might also place value on certain attributes of RNV such as its scenic amenity and contribution to biodiversity conservation. Where these community values can be expressed in terms of trade-offs between RNV conservation and other things of value such as personal disposable income, they can be assessed using economic methods. It is these community values which are the subject of this paper. Economic values held by the community for RNV conservation are nonmarket in nature. Since they are not revealed directly in the market place, and cannot be indirectly recovered though surrogate market techniques, they can only be assessed using stated preference methods. The most widely research stated preference method is contingent valuation (CV). Concerns about the validity of CV data have limited their use in environmental policy development, especially in Australia. The relatively new technique of choice modelling (CM) may offer a means of addressing such concerns. In addition, CM can enable more detailed exploration of participants’ preferences across different quantities and qualities of the good being valued. We used both CV and CM to assess the nonmarket economic values of RNV in two study areas - northeast Victoria and the southern Riverina of NSW. Results from the two methods were not significantly different, providing evidence of convergent validity. However, the CM models have the advantage that they can be adjusted to take into account different policy options, and the associated welfare estimates also have narrower confidence intervals than those derived from CV models. Using the best CM model, aggregate compensating surpluses for improved conservation management of RNV in the southern Riverina of NSW and northeast Victoria were estimated to be $81 million and $59 million respectively.
Rett Syndrome: Translate Medicine from Brain to Heart

Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder typically caused by mutations in methyl-CpG–binding protein 2 (MECP2). 26% of deaths in RTT are sudden and of unknown cause. A recent study found prolongation of the corrected QT interval (QTc), a risk factor for unstable fatal cardiac rhythm, in both RTT patients and animal models. It further demonstrated that cardiac abnormalities in RTT are secondary to abnormal nervous system control, which leads to increased persistent sodium current, suggesting that treatment of RTT would be more effective if it can target the increased persistent sodium current to prevent lethal cardiac arrhythmias. This surprising finding of brain to heart connection will have profound implications for therapies of neurological diseases which are in the situation similar to RTT.
On the usage of e-journals in French universities

The article investigates the use of electronic journals in 68 French universities, all members of the Couperin consortium 1 . The study is based on statistical data on usage, libraries and journal packages collected by the EPEF project (Evaluation des Periodiques Electroniques dans le Reseau Universitaire Francais) from different sources (publishers, Ministry, survey results), from 2001 to 2005. It provides information about local metrics for eight packages (serials), e.g. usage trends; requests per package and user; costs per request and user; as related to the scientific specialty of the university (STM, SS&H, multidisciplinary, etc.). Whenever possible and reasonable, the data is compared with results from UK and US research. The paradoxical situation of SS&H is discussed. This is the first study on usage statistics in French universities and probably one of the first based on a nationwide survey. Methodological problems are discussed.
Effect of growth phase and growth medium on peptidase activities of starter lactic acid bacteria

Des souches selectionnees pour leur activite proteolytique elevee (Lactobacillus casei ssp. casei RP0, Lactobacillus helveticus M10, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus 2-11, Streptococcus thermophilus TEP4) isolees de fromage Kashkaval de bonne qualite, produit a partir de lait cru dans differentes regions des montagnes de Rhodopi en Bulgarie, ont ete evaluees pour leur activites peptidasiques (amino-, di-, tri- et endopeptidase) sur 19 substrats. L'effet de la phase de croissance et du milieu de culture sur les activites peptidasiques des extraits intracellulaires des souches a ete etudie en milieu et en fin de phase exponentielle, et en phase stationnaire de culture sur lait ecreme reconstitue a 12 % (RSM) ou sur milieu de culture MRS/M17. L. casei ssp. casei RP0 et L. helveticus M10 possedaient de loin l'activite hydrolytique la plus elevee, indiquant la presence d'aminopeptidases tres actives, d'X-prolyl-dipeptidyl aminopeptidases, de proline iminopeptidases et de tripeptidases. L. delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus 2-11 avait une activite hydrolytique elevee sur les substrats synthetiques contenant de la proline (alanyl-prolyl-p-nitroanilide et prolylp-nitroanilide). La difference la plus nette entre les activites peptidasiques des lactobacilles et de S. thermophilus TEP4 etait observee sur le substrat Glu-Glu, ce dernier etant bien hydrolyse par S. thermophilus TEP4. Les activites specifiques de la plupart des peptidases (plus de 90 %) etaient significativement influencees par les phases de croissance et le milieu de culture. Les niveaux les plus eleves d'activite peptidasique de toutes les bacteries lactiques etaient obtenus avec des cellules cultivees sur RSM et a la fin de la phase exponentielle de croissance.
Negative bias stress of MOS devices at high electric fields and degradation of MNOS devices

One of the most important degradation effects observed in MNOS memory transistors is a negative shift of the threshold window. This negative shift is caused by a strong increase of the density of Si‐SiO2 surface traps. This effect has been proposed to be caused by the same effect that is observed in MOS devices subjected to negative‐bias stress (NBS). In this paper, a detailed study of the increase of the number of surface traps in MOS structures after NBS at temperatures (25–125 °C) and fields (400–700 MV/m) comparable to those used in MNOS devices is presented. Two different behaviors are observed. At low fields the surface‐trap density increases as t1/4 and at high fields it increases linearly with the stress time t. The low‐field behavior is temperature and field dependent and the zero‐field activation energy is determined to be 0.3 eV. The high‐field behavior is strongly field dependent but independent of temperature. A physical model is proposed to explain the surface‐trap growth as being diffusion .
BELF in the Catalan International Business Context

Few people would question that English has become the de facto main international language of communication in virtually all fields of human activity in today’s increasingly connected world, and furthermore, that it will continue to occupy this status into the near, foreseeable future. More people than ever collaborate or compete in real time with more other people, on more different kinds of work and from different corners of the planet. As a result, a common shared language is required, and English appears to take this role. This paper investigates the implications of the appliance of English, and particularly what has been labelled Business English as a Lingua Franca (BELF) within the Catalan business environment. The research is an empirical, data-based case study of 27 Catalan and Spanish workers who use English as their international language to conduct business. It attempts to shed some light on the significance of the appliance of BELF on Catalan international business while considering the professionals’ use of English and their feelings towards the language. Results have shown that Catalan international companies use English as their international language, but the English they use is not exactly the variety of English that BELF claims for.
Analysis of post-crisis Twitter communication: a study of the iquique, Chile earthquake

This paper examines the use of Twitter as a communication tool during post–crisis phase of the Iquique Chile Earthquake in 2014. Key questions addressed in this paper include (a) who are the participants (senders and receivers) and (b) what are the communication tasks that are performed by the use of Twitter during post–crisis phase? Ahmed and Sinnappan’s (2013) framework is used as a foundation to conduct this study whereby five hundred Tweets spanning five days after the Iquique Earthquake were analysed. The findings of this research suggest the vast majority of Tweets sent during post-crisis phase were focused on sharing information and disseminating alerts and warnings related to aftershocks and subsequent tsunami. Moreover, the individual community members are key participants in the Twitter generated communication. It is anticipated that the findings of this paper will extend our understanding on the key participants and the communication tasks during post–crisis phase.
A Framework for Privacy-Preserving Data Publishing with Enhanced Utility for Cyber-Physical Systems

Cyber-physical systems have enabled the collection of massive amounts of data in an unprecedented level of spatial and temporal granularity. Publishing these data can prosper big data research, which, in turn, helps improve overall system efficiency and resiliency. The main challenge in data publishing is to ensure the usefulness of published data while providing necessary privacy protection. In our previous work (Jia et al. 2017a), we presented a privacy-preserving data publishing framework (referred to as PAD hereinafter), which can guarantee k-anonymity while achieving better data utility than traditional anonymization techniques. PAD learns the information of interest to data users or features from their interactions with the data publishing system and then customizes data publishing processes to the intended use of data. However, our previous work is only applicable to the case where the desired features are linear in the original data record. In this article, we extend PAD to nonlinear features. Our experiments demonstrate that for various data-driven applications, PAD can achieve enhanced utility while remaining highly resilient to privacy threats.

Evaluations of the precision of AUSGeoid98 versus AUSGeoid93 using GPS and Australian Height Datum data

Map-based, graphical and statistical evaluations of the AUSGeoid93 and AUSGeoid98 geoid models of Australia are made using a nation-wide set of 1013 GPS-AHD control points. It is shown that AUSGeoid98 is the superior model for the transformation of GPS-derived ellipsoidal heights to the Australian Height Datum (AHD), especially in mountainous and coastal regions. These results illustrate the benefits of using additional topographic height and satellite altimeterderived gravity data in computing AUSGeoid98, since these data were not used in the computation of AUSGeoid93.
How to Identify and Forecast Bull and Bear Markets?

The state of the equity market, often referred to as a bull or a bear market, is of key importance for financial decisions and economic analyses. Its latent nature has led to several methods to identify past and current states of the market and forecast future states. These methods encompass semi-parametric rule-based methods and parametric regime-switching models. We compare these methods by new statistical and economic measures that take into account the latent nature of the market state. The statistical measure is based directly on the predictions, while the economic mea- sure is based on the utility that results when a risk-averse agent uses the predictions in an investment decision. Our application of this framework to the S&P500 shows that rule-based methods are preferable for (in-sample) identification of the market state, but regime-switching models for (out-of-sample) forecasting. In-sample only the direction of the market matters, but for forecasting both means and volatilities of returns are important. Both the statistical and the economic measures indicate that these differences are significant.
