Pain in People with Learning Disabilities in Residential Settings--The Need for Change.

Accessible summary • Pain is not recognised and managed well for people with learning disabilities in residential settings – People with learning disabilities are not getting timely and appropriate ‘as required’ medication for their pain. • Staff do not use pain recognition tools or communication aids. • Some staff still believe that people with learning disabilities have a higher pain threshold than people without a learning disability. They also let this belief affect how they manage pain. • This research matters to people with learning disabilities. It is important that staff and carers recognise and manage pain well. We have developed a pain training pack for staff and carers and leaflets for both people with learning disabilities and staff and carers. Summary This audit investigated residential staff beliefs around pain thresholds and strategies they adopt to recognise and manage pain in people with learning disabilities across Surrey. A structured interview was constructed to elicit information. Results demonstrated that pain is not being effectively recognised or managed by residential staff in Surrey. It highlighted the need for training for staff in how to recognise and manage pain, as well as the need for appropriate pain recognition tools and communication aids to be utilised to support people with learning disabilities to be able to communicate their pain to others. It also indicated the need for better communication between staff and other services that the person with learning disabilities accesses.
Pengembangan Kemitraan Pemerintah, Masyarakat dan Swasta Berbasis Human Governance untuk Mewujudkan Kota Surakarta sebagai Kota Layak Anak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model kemitraan pemerintah, masyarakat dan swasta berbasis Human Governance guna mewujudkan Kota Surakarta sebagai Kota Layak Anak. Penelitian dilakukan selama dua tahun. Penelitian tahun pertama bertujuan : (1) Mengidentifikasi pola kemitraan antara pemerintah, swasta dan masyarakat dalam implementasi Program Kota Layak Anak di Kota Surakarta yang dilihat dari : a) Aktor atau lembaga yang terlibat dan bagaimana kemitraan yang terjalin, dan b) Bentuk, proses dan mekanisme kemitraan; dan c) hambatan-hambatan dalam kemitraan, (2) Mengidentifikasi apakah kemitraan telah mempertimbangkan prinsip-prinsip Human Governance. Jenis penelitian adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kasus. Informan terdiri dari: Bapermas PP PAK organisasi masyarakat sipil seperti LSM (SPEK HAM, KAKAK, dll), orang tua dan anak-anak yang menjadi kelompok sasaran program Kota Layak Anak. Informan ditentukan dengan tehnik purposive sampling dan pengambilan data menggunakan teknik observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Analisis data menggunakan model analisis interaktif yang memiliki tiga komponen yakni reduksi data, penyajian data, penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menemukan ada dua program dalam pengembangan Kota Surakarta sebagai Kota Layak Anak yang tergolong sebagai model kemitraan yaitu kemitraan antara pemerintah dengan 45 mitra bisnis dalam penerbitan Kartu Insentif Anak (KIA) yaitu kartu identitas anak yang sekaligus berfungsi sebagai kartu diskon dan pembentukan Pelayanan Terpadu untuk Perempuan dan Anak Surakarta (PTPAS) yang merupakan konsorsium organisasi lintas sektor yang bersinergi, saling berbagi sumber daya dan keahlian untuk menjamin perlindungan hak anak. Hambatan dalam implementasi kedua program ini adalah belum adanya kesatuan pemahaman tentang makna Kota Layak Anak, lemahnya sosialisasi dan komunikasi antar aktor, keterbatasan sumber daya dana dan manusia, dan masih rendahnya tingkat partisipasi masyarakat dan anak. Disimpulkan bahwa kemitraan antara pemerintah, masyarakat dan swasta dalam pengembangan Kota Surakarta sebagai Kota Layak Anak belum memenuhi prinsip Human Governance. Pemerintah kota hendaknya lebih memfokuskan pada pemenuhan hak anak , khususnya anak marjinal. Untuk itu perlu memberdayakan kelompok-kelompok akar rumput dan organisasi masyarakat dalam keseluruhan tahapan program dan menggalang partisipasi dunia usaha untuk pendanaan dan pemberdayaan anak marjinal.
ANALYSIS, APPROXIMATIONS AND ADMISSION CONTROL PRIORITIES OF A MULTI-SERVICE MULTIPLEXING SYSTEM WITH

We consider an ATM system with an architecture which is designed to accommodate users with very different quality of service requirements. Sources which belong to a High Priority class share a FCFS buffer, which has priority access to the trunk. A Low Priority class of sources have a separate FCFS buffer, which receives the residual bandwidth, if any. By administering admission control the service guarantees for both stochastic fluid models are used to handle burst-scale classes may be satisfied. The sources are bursty and Figure 1: Buffer 1 has priority access to the trunk. congestion effects. We develop simple, fast and robust analytic approximations for the queue distributions in the two buffers. We calculate the admissible set by using our analytic approximations and find that it is reasonably accurate and a conservative approximation to the correct set. The key element in our analysis is a characterization of the output of the high priority buffer as another Markov-modulated fluid source. A refinement to the now well known effective bandwidth approximation is used to calculate buffer content dist ributions.
Determination of root canal configuration and the prevalence of “C-shaped” canals in mandibular second molar in central and South Gujarat population: An in vitro study

Aims: The aim of the present study was to determine the canal configuration and the prevalence of “C-shaped” canals in mandibular second molar in Central and South Gujarat population. Materials and Methods: A total of 122 mandibular second molar teeth were collected and stored in 10% formalin. Identification of these teeth as mandibular second molar was confirmed by two independent observers. An endodontic access cavity was then prepared in each tooth. Then, they were injected with India ink and demineralized, they were made clear and transparent with methyl salicylate. Then, anatomy of their canals was studied. Results: Out of 122 mandibular second molars, prevalence of “C-shaped” canals was 10.65% (13 teeth). These configurations were seen mostly in single-rooted mandibular second molars. Out of five categories of “C-shape,” predominantly found category was (C1) – 46.15%. Conclusion: Hard tissue of mandibular second molar contains dental pulp which can take a variety of configurations and shapes. The great differences reported among studies with regards to anatomy of the mandibular second molars and prevalence of “C-shaped” canals may be attributable to study methods and racial differences.
A Qualitative Analysis of Clients' Evaluation of a Psychiatric Day Hospital

The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore and describe the evaluation of a psychiatric day hospital by a group of participants. Clients attending a day hospital between 1999 and 2003 completed a program evaluation questionnaire during their last week (N = 567). A qualitative content analysis of 104 questionnaires was conducted by three investigators. Results indicated that clients had both positive and negative views of the health care professionals, program structure, and group therapy. Participants highlighted that they learned about themselves and their illness, improved their self-esteem, and acquired valuable life skills and renewed hope.
Analogi sebagai suatu Metode Alternatif dalam Pengajaran Sains Fisika Sekolah

Analogi memainkan peran yang sangat penting sebagai salah satu strategi pengajaran sains (fisika) dalam menunjang proses pembelajaran di sekolah. Strategi ini dapat digunakan sebagai salah satu metode alternatif untuk mengatasi hambatan komunikasi belajar antara guru dan siswa, khususnya jika siswa menghadapi kesulitan belajar dalam hal memahami materi ajar baru namun memiliki kemiripan alur berpikir dengan materi ajar sebelumnya. Artikel ini akan memperkenalkan dan membahas dua konsep utama, yaitu: konsep rujukan, materi ajar yang sudah dipahami sebelumnya oleh siswa; dan konsep target, materi ajar yang akan dipahamkan kepada siswa. Pembahasan kedua pada konsep tersebut akan disertai dengan beberapa contoh kasus dalam pengajaran fisika di sekolah. Tidak menutup kemungkinan bagi para guru di kelas, juga bagi para calon guru fisika, untuk memanfaatkan metode alternatif ini sebagai salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir siswa. Selain itu, juga untuk meningkatkan pemahaman dan menghindari kesalahpahaman (miskonsepsi) bagi guru itu sendiri. Dengan demikian, pengayaan materi bahan ajar tidak hanya dapat dilakukan melalui latihan soal berulang dan berjenjang, melainkan juga dapat dilakukan dengan memperkenalkan paradigma baru agar diperoleh wawasan pemahaman materi ajar yang lebih luas dan komprehensif. Kata kunci: analogi, pengajaran dengan analogi (Teaching with Analogy, TWA).

The Effects of Stimulus Complexity and Timing during Dual Task across Neurologically- Healthy Older and Younger Adults: A Pilot Study

Dual task protocols are often used to assess the simultaneous performance of two tasks. However, the cognitive and perceptual load factors of empirically studied dual tasks often vary considerably. Thus, the current pilot study systematically investigated the effects of dual task constraints across varying levels of complexity, for three groups of neurologically healthy adults, by closely manipulating cognitive and perceptual load factors. Using a novel methodology, performance was measured during both simple and complex dual tasks that were systematically varied according to stimulus onset asynchrony and set size. The results revealed that set-size and stimulus onset asynchrony factors interact to significantly increase levels of dual task interference. The implications of key findings and potential future applications for this novel dual task protocol are further discussed.
Interventions to enhance coping after traumatic brain injury: A systematic review

Background/Aims: The aim of this study was to identify effective psychosocial interventions to enhance coping in people who have experienced a traumatic brain injury, in order to inform clinical practice and articulate future research directions. Methods: Five electronic databases (CINAHL, Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library) were searched. Titles and abstracts were independently screened by two of the authors and selected for inclusion. The full text of all potentially relevant studies were retrieved and assessed for eligibility, reporting and methodological quality, and risk of bias. Findings: Eight included studies were very heterogeneous in terms of study design, type of intervention, the population studied and instruments used to evaluate coping. All studies were judged to have a moderately high risk of bias. Six studies used cognitive behavioural therapy-based interventions. Two interventions (a peer-mentoring programme and cognitive behavioural therapy combined with motivational intervi.
The Interrelationships of Child-Care Use, Spouse Employment, Army Satisfaction, and Retention in the U.S. Army

Abstract : This report analyzes the interrelationships of child-care use, the Army wife's employment/earnings, her satisfaction with Army life, and her desire for soldier retention in the Army. Data from the Survey of Army Families 1986/87 and 1991/92 are analyzed using regression equations. The results reveal that child-care use increases with an increase in the Army wife's employment and earnings and vice versa. An increase in Army wife's satisfaction with child-care use increases her satisfaction with Army life that, in turn, enhances her desire for soldier husband's retention in the Army. Since retention is increased, providing child-care services is likely to be cost-effective compared with the alternative--recruiting and training a soldier.
Nouvelles données sur la position du littoral antique de Fréjus. Le diagnostic archéologique du "Théâtre d'agglomération" (Fréjus, Var)

En juillet 2005, s’est deroulee une campagne de sondages archeologiques sur le site du futur theâtre d’agglomeration de Frejus/Saint-Raphael sur la commune de Frejus. Pour ce projet, une equipe pluridisciplinaire a ete constituee, associant archeologues et geomorphologues. Les tranchees realisees ont permis de mettre au jour une portion de cote rocheuse, qui a ete degagee sur environ 40 m². Ainsi, cette decouverte a permis de faire reculer le positionnement du trait de cote de pres d’un kilometre par rapport aux donnees recentes publiees. Vers le milieu du ier siecle av. J.-C. , au moment de la creation de Forum Iulii, le littoral se presentait au sud de la Butte Saint-Antoine, sous la forme d’une bande etroite d’environ 100 m de large, ponctuee au sud par une pointe rocheuse. Lors de cette operation, ont egalement ete mises en evidence l’importance et la rapidite du phenomene de progradation, transformant en pres d’un siecle une cote rocheuse etroite en une vaste arriere plage. En effet, le ier siecle marque l’avancee rapide du cordon littoral sur le site sous l’effet des apports sedimentaires de l’Argens. Les terrains gagnes sur la mer sont occupes, mais aucune trace de constructions n’a ete reperee.
The Efficacy of Peer Tutoring in Reading for Students with Disabilities: A Best-Evidence Synthesis.

This review examined the literature on peer tutoring in reading with students with disabilities, using the methodology of best evidence synthesis. This approach combines positive aspects of meta analysis with traditional integrative review procedures. It requires all studies reviewed to meet stringent a priori standards. Analysis of the 11 studies in this review indicates that peer tutoring in reading with students with disabilities can be effective. Peer tutoring was found to have an overall effect size of instruction students with disabilities typically receive. However, it was not found to be more effective than teacher-led instruction when the teacher implemented another research intervention. Average effect sizes across dimensions were consistent; however, individual treatments evidenced variable effect sizes. Treatments in which students with disabilities were paired with normally achieving peers and allowed to serve in the role of tutor some of the time consistently produced strong effect sizes and significant findings. An appendix lists the methodological reasons that 19 additional studies were excluded from analysis. Another appendix details the coding process and compares the 11 selected studies in detail.

A retrospective study of 69 patients admitted at the intensive care unit University Clinical Center of Kosovo during the period 2008-2012

Background: Burns are the third most common cause of mortality in children and adolescents. It is also a major cause of morbidity and mortality in individuals of all age groups, particularly in individuals living in the developing countries. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the causes of extensive burn injuries in our population, sex, age, distribution of extensive burn injuries by years, duration of treatment, the methods of treatment and mortality. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, we retrospectively analyzed data of 69 patients during the 4-year period between January 2008 and January 2012, with extensive burn injuries admitted to the ICU-University Clinical Center of Kosovo. Among them, 53 patients were males and 16 were females with a male to female ratio of 3.3:1. Conclusion: The high rate of transferring patients for treatment abroad to other countries of 28.9% and high mortality rate of extensive burns in our country with 11 cases (15.9%) is a reflection of lack of burn care in our department.
Possibilities for evaluating cost-effectiveness of family system nursing: An example based on Family Health Conversations with families in which a middle-aged family member had suffered stroke

Family Health Conversations (FamHC) increase health and well-being, but knowledge about their cost-effectiveness, and how to best calculate this, is lacking. In this feasibility study we evaluated the cost-effectiveness of using FamHC with families in which a middle-aged family member had suffered stroke. Seven families participated in a FamHC intervention and seven families received ordinary care. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was estimated with SF-6D and EQ-5D over a six-month period. The cost-effectiveness of the intervention was calculated. Families receiving FamHC intervention had significantly increased HRQoL at follow up. Cost per quality adjusted life year differed depending on the instrument and analysis method used in the calculation. However, all calculations showed that FamHC were cost-effective. We conclude that FamHC significantly increase HRQoL and suggest that they are cost-effective. Both instruments seemed to be able to capture changes. Considering the participants’ experience of answering the two instruments, we advocate the use of EQ-5D.
Quantitative MRI data in Multiple Sclerosis patients: a pattern recognition study

Introduction: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by inflammatory demyelination in the central nervous system. Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging (qMRI) enables a detailed characterization of brain tissue, but generates a large number of numerical results. In this study, we elucidated the main qMRI techniques and the brain regions that allow the identification of MS patients from neuroimaging data and pattern recognition techniques. Methods: The data came from the combination of computational tools of image processing and neuroimaging acquired in a 3 Tesla scanner using different techniques: Diffusion, T2 Relaxometry, Magnetization Transfer Ratio (MTR) and Structural Morphometry. Data from 126 brain regions of 203 healthy individuals and 124 MS patients were separated into two groups and processed in a data-mining program using the k-nearest-neighbor (KNN) algorithm. Results: The most relevant anatomical structures in the classification procedure were: corpus callosum, precuneus, left cerebellum and fusiform. Among the quantitative techniques the most relevant was the MTR, being indicated for longitudinal studies of this disease. KNN with 5 neighbors and pre-selected attributes had a better performance with an area under the ROC curve (97.3%) and accuracy (95.7%). A restricted classification considering only brain regions previously reported in the literature as affected by MS brought slightly lower scores, area: 97.1% and accuracy: 93.2%. Conclusion: The use of standard recognition techniques from quantitative neuroimaging techniques has confirmed that the white matter of the brain is the most affected tissue by MS following a global pattern with greater involvement of the left hemisphere.
"A Comparison between the Effects of Stabilization and Mckenzie's Exercises on the Pain, Disability, and Lumbo-Pelvic Stability in Patients with Non-Specific Chronic Low Back Pain"

Stabilization exercises have been used for management of Low Back Pain. These exercises improve stability and increase control of the spine due to neuromuscular changes. Therefore, the effectiveness of stabilization and McKenzie's exercises on intensity of pain, disability and lumbo-pelvic stability was compared in non-specific Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) patients. Thirty patients with non-specific CLBP participated in this study. Patients were enrolled through simple non-probability sampling and were assigned into two groups, Mckenzie's and stabilization exercises, randomly. Intensity of pain, disability, and lumbo-pelvic stability were evaluated by Visual Analouge Scale, The Oswestry disability Questionnaire, and Stibilizer Pressure Biofeedback Unit, respectively. The training program was scheduled 18 sessions for both groups. T-tests and ANCOVA test were used for statistical analysis (p 0.05). The present study supported that stabilization exercises can reduce pain and disability in non- specific CLBP patients.
