E-Readiness Assessment of Teaching Hospitals Affiliated to Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences for E-Learning Implementation for Nurses’ In- Service Training

Introduction: To get updated, nurses need to attend in-service training courses. Elearning is a promising solution for providing courses to busy nurses in teaching hospitals. This study aims to evaluate the readiness of teaching hospitals for e-learning implementation specialized for nurses' in-service trainings. Methods: This descriptive-analytical survey was carried out in Bandar Abbas (Iran) teaching hospitals affiliated to Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences (HUMS) from March to June 2016. It included nursing staff, trainers, and related hospital and HUMS authorities. Questionnaires and checklists adopted from earlier studies and customized for this study were used for data collection. Appropriate descriptive and inferential statistical formulas were applied using SPSS version 19. Results: Data showed that HUMS; in general, was in an optimum situation for e-learning implementation regarding manpower, financial support, technical equipment, strategic plan, content authoring and access to the internet. However, access to information resources and digital library was not good. Hospital authorities stated that they had lack of manpower and required infrastructure. Some of them doubted the appropriateness of elearning for clinical trainings. Apart from knowledge dimension, nurses reported significantly higher than the average on other study dimensions. Conclusion: To implement e-learning for nurses' in-service trainings, HUMS must hire experts for authoring and producing content; and technical staff for maintenance the infrastructure. Moreover, e-learning knowledge and skills of people involved in e-learning needs to be improved.
Improving cardiovascular monitoring through modern techniques

This article presents two applications of modern processing techniques for cardiovascular monitoring. These two applications are quite different in terms of theory as well as application, but they nevertheless present similarities. In both cases, the incentive for using new techniques came from the need for higher performance in order to achieve desired goals. The results obtained are not limited to the particular cases presented here and may lead to original developments in pure signal processing. The first application deals with automatic in-vivo estimation of microvascular pulmonary pressure (P/sub mv/). New structures of multirate adaptive filtering based on wavelet packets have been developed to remove the respiratory artifact present. The other application investigates the possibility of using chaos and fractal theory to analyze heart rate variability. The use of chaos might help predict cardiac events, such as ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, with better accuracy than conventional methods.

Experimental result shows that the method proposed by this paper can raise the precision of similarity computation among queries, and then raise the precision of query recommendation.
Constraints on the Use of Animal Source Foods for Young Children in Ghana: A Participatory Rapid Appraisal Approach

Micronutrient deficiencies limit child health and development. Although animal source foods (ASF) provide highly bioavailable micronutrients, Ghanaian preschoolers consume little. Participatory rapid appraisal methods identified constraints to the availability, accessibility, and utilization of ASF. Stakeholders working with or living in six communities in three agro-ecological zones reported constraints including low income, lack of access to technology and markets, inequitable household food allocation, inadequate knowledge, and beliefs. The least expensive ASF was fish, which was easy to preserve and consumed by all communities. Since ASF was primarily purchased, interventions that increase income may be most successful in improving Ghanaian children's diets.

Realistic traffic shaping in Dummynet link emulator

Dummynet is a link emulator that can be used by itself, as well as integrated within testbeds such as Emulab. Despite its popularity in the research community, Dummynet still lacks the ability to precisely emulate certain real network e↵ects. In particular, it has no support for packet reordering. Since reordering is a common and prevalent network phenomenon just like packet loss or delay, it cannot be ignored when implementing emulators if we want to provide realistic emulation. It has been observed that networks su↵er from reordering caused by packet striping, retransmissions, load balancing, multipath forwarding, etc. This has significant negative e↵ects on the performance of both Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). With the increase in prevalence of real-time streaming UDP applications such as video conferencing and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV), it has become important to focus on this problem which a↵ects the performance of all these applications. Research into models and tools to diagnose and understand reordering requires that a sophisticated metric be used to describe it. So, in this thesis, I make two contributions: improving the realism of tra c shaping in Dummynet emulator by adding support for emulation of reordering, and an algorithm, a max-flow solver, that generates reordered sequences to be used by Dummynet, from a sophisticated reordering metric called Reorder Density (RD). My implementation enables the user to specify the desired amount of reordering in a metric, such as RD (or even others), and have Dummynet generate tra c that is reordered according to the input metric’s value. This is accomplished within Dummynet by the use of a newly implemented scheduler. I conclude my thesis with an evaluation using real and software generated network traces to show that the algorithm is scalable and the implementation works correctly. Also, a datapath evaluation to show that my modifications to Dummynet do not result in any unnecessary increase in emulation running time is included. For my family and friends.
Relationship between anxiety and serum β-endorphin in patients with vitiligo

Objective To investigate the relationship between anxiety and serum β-endorphin in patients with vitiligo.Methods Eighty patients with developing vitiligo(case group) and 40 healthy controls(control group) were selected.ZUNG self-rating anxiety scale(SAS) was employed to determine the anxiety status,and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was adopted to measure the serum β-endorphin levels.Results The SAS scores in case group(50.85±12.23)was significantly higher than that in control group(37.86±11.23)(t=5.63,P0.01). The prevalence of anxiety in case group(47.5%,38/80) was significantly higher than that in control group(5.0%,2/40)(χ2 =21.67,P0.01). In case group,the SAS score and prevalence of anxiety of females were significantly higher than those of males;the SAS score and prevalence of anxiety of the unmarried were significantly higher than those of the married;the SAS score and prevalence of anxiety in patients with vitiligo in exposed skin were significantly higher than those in non-exposed skin;and the SAS score and prevalence of anxiety in patients aged between 16 and 24 were significantly higher than those aged more than 25(P0.05 or P0.01). There was no significant difference in SAS score and prevalence of anxiety between patients with disease duration ≤6 months and those with disease duration 6 months and between patients with higher education and those without higher education(P0.05). The mass concentration of serum β-endorphin in case group was(219.11±30.18)ng/L,which was significantly higher than that in control group[(162.16±19.65)ng/L](t=9.12,P0.01). In case group,the mass concentration of serum β-endorphin in patients with anxiety was(241.71±31.76)ng/L,which was significantly higher than that in patients without anxiety [(197.91±23.29)ng/L](t=8.66,P0.01). Conclusion Patients with vitiligo may be affected by anxiety,and the serum β-endorphin levels may be associated with vitiligo and anxiety.

The development and evaluation of an approach to auditory display design based on soundtrack composition

This thesis presents the development and evaluation of a new approach (SoundTrAD) to designing auditory interfaces. The proposed approach combines practices and concepts from film soundtrack composition with established approaches to general user interface design. The synthesis of the two design approaches from different areas of design into a novel approach may be viewed as an example of conceptual integration, (also known as conceptual blending). The process of developing and evaluating SoundTrAD broadly follows a methodology of Research through Design. The thesis presents four user studies as part of an iterative design and evaluation process. Each study involves a mixture of expert and novice end-users which provides new information and identifies new questions and design issues for the subsequent studies. The first study explores how an idea from film composition (the cue sheet) can be used in auditory interface design to help designers place and organise sound elements, and to better understand auditory design spaces. In order to make this concept work in the new context, it is combined with the scenario concept from general interaction design to provide designers with reference linear sequences of events and actions. The second study used thematic analysis to investigate how information to be sonifed can be characterised and analysed for features that can be mapped in to sound. The study also explores the development of a timeline on which the sound design ideas from soundtrack composition for individual events, can be placed and in principle moved in order to cater for multiple use-case scenarios. The third study presents an iteration of this, including further development of both the task analysis and mapping technique. The study also explores the idea in principle of an interactive timeline that can be manipulated by the designer in order to re-arrange and audition sound events. The final study brings the studies together by obtaining feedback on the success of a final version of SoundTrAD.
Unoriginal Genius: Poetry by Other Means in the New Century

In "Unoriginal Genius" Marjorie Perloff explores a new development in contemporary poetry: the repurposing of other people's words in order to make new works, by framing, citing, and recycling already existing phrases, sentences, and even full texts. Paradoxically, she argues, this 'unoriginal' poetry is more accessible and, in a sense, 'personal' than the hermetic poetry of the 1980s and '90s. Perloff traces this poetics of "Unoriginal Genius" from one of its paradigmatic works, Walter Benjamin's encyclopedic "Arcades Project", a book largely made up of citations. She discusses the processes of choice, framing, and reconfiguration in the work of Brazilian Concretism and Oulipo, two movements now understood to be precursors of such hybrid citational texts as Charles Bernstein's opera libretto "Shadowtime" and Susan Howe's documentary lyric sequence "The Midnight". "Unoriginal Genius" concludes with a discussion of Kenneth Goldsmith's conceptualist book "Traffic" - a seemingly "pure" transcript of one holiday weekend's worth of radio traffic reports. In these instances and many others, Perloff reveals 'poetry by other means' of great ingenuity, wit, and complexity.
Syria: refugee parents’ experiences and need for parenting support in camps and humanitarian settings

ABSTRACT Refugee children’s mental health through war, conflict and flight is strongly influenced by family environment and quality of relationships with parents and primary caregivers. Parental support and supervision of the child by the parent is a fundamental protective moderator for child outcomes. Knowledge of parents’ support needs through displacement into pre-resettlement contexts is vital in designing interventions to improve outcomes for refugee children and families. This qualitative study aimed to explore the parenting support needs of Syrian parents who had recently fled conflict and were residing in refugee camps and shelters in Syria and in Turkey, to understand the perceived feasibility and value of intervention at this stage. A total of 29 mothers and professional support workers in refugee camps and humanitarian contexts in Turkey and Syria participated in interviews or focus groups. Data were analysed using thematic analysis and structured into three themes: parents’ desire for parenting advice and actively seeking support; the value of discussing parenting issues, and perceived barriers to accessing support. Parents were very interested in receiving parenting support and were motivated to understand how best to parent in this context. They had made active attempts to acquire information, despite the highly challenging circumstances they had experienced, and were still living through. They had clear views on what they wanted support with and how best to receive it, though they were left frustrated at the very limited available resources. Result indicated that providing tailored support for families at this stage of their refugee journey could have significant benefits for the well-being of both refugee children and their parents. Recognition of the crucial role of parents in policy and practice can help protect the mental health of children and families in their refugee journey. This information should inform policies for refugee families in pre-resettlement contexts.
Inter-Cell Interference Reduction in Green Cellular Networks using Improved Hand Offs Techniques

— The concept of green networking is to minimize the utilization of energy. The base stations within the cellular networks utilize more than 80 percentage of the net energy available in the network. With the motive of reducing the power utilization, the cell zooming technique is incorporated. But the cell zooming technique leads to inter-cell interference and coverage holes problems. Hence a new technique with handoff is effectively proposed to overcome the limitations within the cell zooming, thereby providing the efficient energy conservation within the cellular networks.
Partitioning and scheduling parallel programs for execution on multiprocessors

There are three fundamental problems to be solved in the execution of a parallel program on a multiprocessor--identifying the parallelism in the program, partitioning the program into tasks and scheduling the tasks on processors. Whereas the problem of identifying parallelism is a programming language issue, the partitioning and scheduling problems are intimately related to parameters of the target multiprocessor, like the number of processors and synchronisation and communication overhead. It is desirable for the partitioning and scheduling to be performed automatically, so that the same parallel program can execute efficiently on different multiprocessors. This dissertation presents two solutions to the partitioning and scheduling problems. The first approach is based on a macro-dataflow model, where the program is partitioned into tasks at compile-time and the tasks are scheduled on processors at run-time. The second approach is based on a compile-time scheduling model, where the partitioning of the program and the scheduling of tasks on processors are both performed at compile-time. Both approaches have been implemented to partition programs written in the single-assignment language, SISAL. The inputs to the partitioning and scheduling algorithms are a graphical representation of the program and a list of parameters describing the target multiprocessor. Execution profile information is used to derive compile-time estimates of execution times and data sizes in the program. Both the macro-dataflow and compile-time scheduling problems are expressed as optimisation problems, which are proved to be NP-complete in the strong sense. This dissertation presents efficient approximation algorithms for these problems. The effectiveness of the partitioning and scheduling algorithms is studied by multiprocessor simulations of various SISAL benchmark programs for different target multiprocessor parameters.
Borg's Perceived Exertion and Pain Scales

Borg's Perceived Exertion and Pain Scales : Medicine . Gunnar Borg, PhD, introduced the field of perceived exertion during the latter part of the 1950s. Since then, he has won international renown for his work in developing methods for measuring perceived exertion and pain. His method for measuring perceived exertion is the main method used in the field, and his new scale, the Borg CR10 scale, is used for measuring both perceived exertion and pain, and other subjective magnitudes.
Transfusion-transmitted Virus and TTV-like Mini Virus Infection in Blood Products

Background : Transfusion-transmitted virus (TTV) and TTV-like mini virus (TLMV) are small DNA virus with single-stranded, closed circular, antisense genome infecting man. TTV and TLMV are transmissible by transfusion. However there had been a few study about TTV prevalence and no study about prevalence in blood donors in Korea. There has been no study about the TTV and TLMV infection in blood products in Korea. The aim of this study was to gain the prevalence of two viruses in blood products. Methods : A total of 150 plasma samples from blood products (each 50 units of Red blood cell, whole blood, and platelet concentrate) were tested. The samples are obtained from the segments of the blood products. TTV DNA was detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with two sets of primers (A set and B set) and TLMV DNA was detected using nested PCR with primer set C. Results : TTV DNA was detected in 85.3% (128/150) of blood products. TLMV DNA was detected in 41.3% (62/150) of blood products. Either TTV or TLMV was detected in a total of 140 blood products (92.3%) and both TTV and TLMV were detected in 50 products (33.3%). Conclusions : The blood products are frequently infected with TTV and (or) TLMV in Korea and they can be transmissible by blood products with high probability.
Kocuria dacryocystitis infection, caused by kocuria ocularis sp. Nov.

Introduction: Kocuria spp. rarely cause infectious disease but can be opportunistic pathogens in immunocompromised patients. The numbers of documented infections are low but rising. Case presentation: A 74‐year‐old woman presented with acute, painful swelling of the medial canthus of the left eye. The skin surface was red and acutely painful to the touch. Because of several clinical relapses despite antibiotic treatment, surgical dacryocystorhinostomy with marsupialization of the lacrimal sac into the nasal cavity was performed. Lacrimal sac drainage samples were analysed and yielded Kocuria. This is, to our knowledge, the first case of Kocuria dacryocystitis. Furthermore, the dacryocystitis was caused by a novel species of Kocuria, which we suggest should be named Kocuria ocularis. Conclusion: Kocuria related to ocular infection has not yet been documented. This report expands the clinical spectrum of diseases caused by these potentially underestimated pathogens.

Routing congestion removing of CMOL FPGA circuits by a recursive method

In this paper we have proposed a recursive method for removing the routing congestion in CMOL FPGA circuits where CMOLCAD tool cannot route them successfully. CMOL FPGA architecture, with T basic cells and a latch cell per tile, uses K basic cells (predefined by user) and a latch cell for logic implementation and (T-K) cells for routing. When the circuit encountered congestion, CMOLCAD tool decreases K to route the circuit. This is a drawback for CMOLCAD tool that cannot route the circuit with predefined K. In proposed method, we keep and rank the placement solutions in some of the last iterations of placement algorithm, according to the cost and use them for routing the circuits with more options. If the routing on the highest priority placement solution has failed, this solution will be removed from ranking and another placement solution will be used according to the ranking. This procedure will be continued until circuit routed without congestion by predefined K. The results show that we can remove 9.7% of congestions by applying the proposed method beside CMOLCAD.
