Psychiatric disorders in geriatric medical/surgical patients. Part II: Review of clinical experience in consultation.

: Of a consecutive series of 1,000 psychiatric consultation requests, 195 were for patients 60 years of age or older. The most frequent psychiatric diagnoses assigned by the consultant were organic psychiatric and depressive spectrum disorders. This communication reviews frequently encountered syndromes and the other major clinical issues relevant to geriatric psychiatry and provides illustrative cases. The mental status examination is a sensitive diagnostic tool that can improve the clinician's diagnostic skills. We conclude that screening the elderly medically ill patient for these psychiatric disorders will improve patient care and significantly diminish morbidity.
Clinical Pathways: Development and Implementation at a Tertiary Hospital in Malaysia

Introduction Clinical pathways have been implemented in many healthcare systems with mix results in improving the quality of care and controlling the cost. CP is a methodology used for mutual decision making and organization of care for a well-defined group of patients within a well-defined period. Methods In developing the CPs for a medical centre, several meetings had been carried out involving expert teams which consist of physicians, nurses, pharmacists and physiotherapists. The steps used to develop the pathway were divided into 5 phases. Phase 1: the introduction and team development, Phase II: determining the cases and information gathering, Phase III: establishing the draft of CP, Phase IV: is implementing and monitoring the effectiveness of CP while Phase V: evaluating, improving and redesigning of the CP. Results Four CPs had been developed: Total Knee Replacement (TKR), ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (AMI), Chronic Obstructive Airways Diseases (COAD) and elective Lower Segment Caesarean Section (LSCS). The implementation of these CPs had supported the evidence-based medicine, improved the multidisciplinary communication, teamwork and care planning. However, the rotation of posts had resulted in lack of document ownership, lack of direction and guidance from senior clinical staff, and problem of providing CPs prior to admission. Conclusions The development and implementation of CPs in the medical centre improved the intra and inter departmental communication, improved patient outcomes, promote patient safety and increased patient satisfaction. However, accountability and understanding of the CPs must be given more attention.
Assessment of Housing Quality in OsunState, Nigeria

This study focused on housing quality in Osogbo Local Government with the aim to assess the quality of residential housing in Osogbo Local Government, with a view of suggesting a sustainable housing quality for the people therein. The study examined; housing conditions, in-house facilities situation, as well as the socio-economic status on housing quality among sample respondents in Osogbo Local Government. Both primary and secondary data were used. Quantitative as well as qualitative analysis were done. A total number of 210 questionnaires were administered using multi-stage sampling. Systematic random sampling was employed in which the whole local government was stratified into fifteen (15) geo political wards namely; Ataoja “A”, Ataoja “B”, Ataoja “C”, Ataoja “D”, Ataoja “E”, OtunJagun B, Alagbaa, Are-Ago, Jagun “A”, Jagun “B”, Baba Kekere, OtunJagun “A”, Eketa, OtunBalogun “A” and Ekerin according to the documented planning board records. Out of these wards, twelve come under high density; two of these wards are medium density while the remaining one is low density. Therefore, six (6) wards were selected at random, to give every ward and buildings equal chance to be selected. They are Ekerin, Ataoja “A”, Ataoja “B”, Ataoja “D”, Ataoja “E” and Baba Kekere, in each ward; the first building was sampled at random while the subsequent buildings were chosen systematically after every tenth (10th) building. European International Journal of Science and Technology ISSN: 2304-9693 www.eijst. org.uk 70 The study employed both descriptive and inferential statistics for analysis. For instance, charts, percentages, etc., were the descriptive statistics used while inferential statistics such as Likert scale was used to explain respondents’ perceptions of condition of houses sampled in the study area. The result of the analysis, it was shown and clear that the quality of housing in Osogbo Local Government is not encouraging and this is due to the low level of income been earned by the inhabitants, the highest number of respondents falls within the income is 31%. The study therefore recommends the important way of improving housing quality in areas where there are dilapidated structures may involve the use of housing micro-finance which consist mainly of giving loans to lowincome earners. And also both the state and local government should embark upon programmes that will encourage provision of social facilities. This should include pipe-borne water, public toilet facilities, and effective waste disposal system.
The Effectiveness of Humor in Advertising: Analysis from an International Scope

In advertising, as in marketing, different advertising techniques are used to achieve the objectives proposed by companies, among them, to reach a large number of consumers who remember both the brand, the product as well as the advertising campaign used, that is, the effectiveness. The use of humor as an advertising technique is very recurrent among brands when looking for this effectiveness to the point of having a globalization of it at the intercultural level, coming to be used by the best companies in the five continents and getting to be one of the most used techniques in the most effective advertising campaigns of recent years.
COMPENSATING FLOOD RETENTION ON PRIVATE LAND IN AUSTRIA: TOWARDS POLYCENTRIC GOVERNANCE IN FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT?

调控滞洪;多中心治理;补偿;景观韧性 ABSTRACT Flood retention, in particular controlled flood retention, plays an increasingly prominent role in the portfolio of flood risk management strategies. Though a highly effective measure to reduce the risk of flooding for vulnerable areas, flood retention is land-intensive and infringes on landowners’ property rights. Implementation efforts are thus often hampered by the lack of availability of land as well as by the growing demands of (agricultural) landowners for compensation of flood retention services. The proliferation of flood retention not only changes riparian land uses but also results in a shift of authority, power, and agency to lower levels of government as well as to non-governmental actors, including the private landowners who provide the land for flooding but also those who benefit from flood retention. By the example of a compensation scheme for the controlled flood retention in Altenmarkt, an alpine municipality in Austria, this paper explores these nascent forms of governance through the lens of polycentricity. Along five core propositions in polycentric theory, the paper evaluates the governance implications of flood retention compensation in Austria and discusses the possibilities and limitations of flood retention for enhancing landscape resilience in riparian areas.
Nerve transfer for treatment of brachial plexus injury：comparison study between the transfer of partial median and ulnar nerves and that of phrenic and spinal accessary nerves

Objective: To compare the effect of using partial median and ulnar nerves for treatment of C5-6 or C5-7 avulsion of the brachial plexus with that of using phrenic and spinal accessary nerves.Methods: The patients were divided into 2 groups randomly according to different surgical procedures. Twelve cases were involved in the first group. The phrenic nerve was transferred to the musculocutaneous nerve or through a sural nerve graft, and the spinal accessary nerve was to the suprascapular nerve. Eleven cases were classified into the second group. A part of the fascicles of median nerve was transferred to be coapted with the motor fascicle of musculocutaneous nerve and a part of fascicles of ulnar nerve was transferred to the axillary nerve. The cases were followed up from 1 to 3 years and the clinical outcome was compared between the two groups. Results: There were 2 cases (16.6%) who got the recovery of M4 strength of biceps muscle in the first group but 7 cases (63.6%) in the second group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.025). However, it was not statistically different in the recovery of shoulder function between the two groups. Conclusions: Partial median and ulnar nerve transfer, phrenic and spinal accessary nerve transfer were all effective for the reconstruction of elbow or shoulder function in brachial plexus injury, but the neurotization using a part of median nerve could obtain more powerful biceps muscle strength than that of phrenic nerve transfer procedure.
Transplantation pulmonaire et dysfonction chronique du greffon : caractérisation de biomarqueurs diagnostiques par analyse protéomique SELDI-TOF du liquide bronchiolo-alvéolaire

Malgre les progres recents realises en transplantation pulmonaire, le pronostic a long terme est compromis par la survenue d'une dysfonction chronique du greffon dont le diagnostic est base sur le declin de la fonction respiratoire. Nous avons analyse les profils proteiques du liquide de lavage bronchiolo-alveolaire (LBA) de patients transplantes pulmonaires par une technologie proteomique innovante afin de caracteriser des biomarqueurs diagnostiques de dysfonction chronique du greffon. Nous avons compare de facon transversale le proteome des LBA de 13 patients avec un syndrome de bronchiolite obliterante (groupe BOS), 21 patients avec une fonction pulmonaire stable (groupe ST) et 8 patients avec rejet aigu (groupe AR) par analyse proteomique SELDI-TOF (Surface Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-Of-Flight). 45 pics d'intensite statistiquement differente ont ete caracterises entre le groupe BOS et ST, et 42 entre les groupes BOS et AR. Parmi les pics les plus discriminants, des biomarqueurs correspondant aux proteines S100 (10812Da, 10412Da et 13335Da, p<0,002) et aux alpha-defensines 1-3 (3354Da, 3424Da et 3470 Da, p<0,01) etaient surexprimes dans le groupe BOS. La proteine S100A8 (10812 Da) permet de differencier les patients BOS des patients stables avec une sensibilite de 92% et une specificite de 72% (AUC=0.87) et les alpha-defensines presentent egalement une performance diagnostique importante. L'analyse proteomique du LBA par technique SELDI-TOF a permis de caracteriser plusieurs biomarqueurs d'interet pour le diagnostic de dysfonction chronique du greffon et potentiellement impliques dans sa physiopathologie : les proteines S100 et les alpha-defensines.
How to Develop IoT Cloud e-Health Systems Based on FIWARE: A Lesson Learnt

Nowadays, the penetration of sensors and actuators in different application fields is revolutionizing all aspects of our daily life. One of the major sectors that is taking advantage of such cutting-edge cheap smart devices is healthcare. In this context, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) at home represents a tempting opportunity for hospitals to reduce clinical costs and to improve the quality of life of both patients and their families. It allows patients to be monitored remotely by means networks of Internet of Things (IoT) medical devices equipped with sensors and actuators that collect healthcare data from patients and send them to a Cloud-based Hospital Information System (HIS) for processing. Up to now, many different proprietary software systems have been developed as stand-along expensive solutions, presenting interoperability, extensibility, and scalability issues. In recent years, the European Commission (EC) has promoted the wide adoption of FIWARE technology, launching 16 Industrial Accelerators focusing on different application fields. One of these, i.e., FICHe, is specialized in healthcare, providing the guidelines on how to develop eHealth systems. This paper focuses on how to compose new cutting-edge IoT and Cloud-based Cyber Physical Health Sytem (CPHS) services and applications interconnected with remote medical sensors and actuators using FIWARE technology in the context envisioned by FICHe. In particular, we discuss the design and development of an RPM system implemented through the collaboration between the Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico (IRCCS) “Bonino Pulejo” (i.e., a clinical and research healthcare centre specialized in the treatment of neuro lesions), University of Messina, IBM Research, Telefónica, and the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. The description of our best practice provides a model and guidelines for the development of lightweight and low cost RPM services for rural and isolated areas, with the expectation of expanding healthcare to the developing world and in general allows us to outline how to deal with the real adoption of the FIWARE technology in an e-health project.
THE ROLES OF PUBLIC FIGURE IN FOOD BRANDING: A CASE STUDY

To make the experiences of visiting tourist destination become tangible, tourists are inclined to bring some souvenirs for their family and friends. Such big target market is enough reason to make businesses which provide souvenirs such as goods and foods in the tourist destinations. At the moment, there is an ongoing trend in Indonesia which uses celebrity or famous public figures’ names as a part of the souvenirs’ marketing appeal. Malang Strudel, Jogja Scrummy, and Surabaya Snowcake are a few examples of foods, especially pastries, as souvenir that are specifically marketed for the visitors of a particular city, and use famous actors and actress’ as owner and their brand ambassadors. The construction of foods identity and products branding of food as souvenir were the focus of this research. The data were collected through interview, documentation, and observation. The results indicate that public figures are extremely important in creating the identity of food as the souvenir of a particular city, although the product itself is not originally from the city. Moreover, tourists who buy the food as souvenir were influenced by the public figures’ name.
Saline drinking water in broiler and Leghorn chicks and the effect in broilers of increasing levels and age at time of exposure.

Abstract The purpose of this research was to assess the effect of increasing levels of salt and 5 g/L of salt (0.20% extra sodium) in the drinking water in broiler chickens at various ages up to five weeks of age and to compare the response of broiler chickens and White Leghorns to saline water (0.20% sodium). The effect was measured by the response of the right ventricle to pulmonary hypertension. The results indicated that broiler chickens under three weeks are more susceptible to saline water containing 0.20% sodium than those over three weeks of age, and that broilers given increasing levels of dietary salt may be more resistant to excess dietary salt than those that have had no previous exposure. The results also demonstrated that broiler chickens are more susceptible than White Leghorns to 0.20% extra dietary sodium in drinking water. We conclude that Leghorn chicks are more resistant to excess dietary sodium than broilers and that broilers become more resistant to saline water containing 0.20% sodium after three weeks of age.
ACCESSIBILITY TO MEDICAL CARE - NEW CONTENT AND MODEL

The problem of access to medical care is unilateral because it focuses on the normative approach of providing medical care and requirements to doctors and hospitals for a certain quality. No societal factors influencing the level of accessibility such as quality of life, which may be a decisive factor in the use of health care services, are taken into account. Aim: to bring the content of the concept of accessing medical care to new features. Method: system approach to the health system. Results: accessibility to medical care is positioned at all levels of the system: (1) the outcome as a criterion for outcome assessment, (2) back to the process and (3) the input, the implementation of health activities, the planning of resources , for the analysis of health status, needs, expected, regulatory and administrative requirements and programs. Discussion: The factors providing access to medical care are: economic, organizational, legal, environmental and quality of life. A new definition, with added content on access to medical care and a new model, is presented. Conclusion: Access to medical care is not a building called a hospital, but rather relates to the organization of the health system, supported by the types of resources, the legal norms, the influence of the environmental factors and the quality of life. Accessibility is a function of the effectiveness of the entire healthcare system. Understanding the problem of access to medical care and its complexity will greatly contribute to overcoming the unevenness of medical care.

A Review of the Research on Data Mining Techniques in the Detection of Fraud in Financial Statements

Financial statement fraud is a type of fraud that contributes to the biggest losses for businesses. In today’s business environment it has become possible to detect financial statement fraud by using data mining methods, which has in turn led to more research in the past 15 years. The first step in the successful implementation of a system for detecting financial statement fraud using data mining methods is defining financial ratios that can be powerful indicators in the detection of financial statement fraud. Of 110 financial and non-financial ratios analysed in the previously published research, eight (8) can be identified as being the most significant for forming a model for the detection of fraud in financial statements using data mining methods.
Effect of the motivational factor on lean manufacturing performance: the case of a multinational consumer goods company

Abstract The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of the motivational factor on the results obtained after implementing a lean manufacturing system in a multinational consumer goods manufacturing company. Key performance indicator data were collected from three production lines during periods before and after lean manufacturing implementation. Unstructured interviews were conducted, and the Motivation and Work Meaning Inventory (MWMI) instrument was applied. The motivational factors were then correlated with the performance indicators. The results provide evidence to support the hypothesis, based on the literature, that the motivational factor in work teams in a lean implementation process will affect the degree of success of the process. It was also confirmed that after implementation of the program, there was a significant improvement in the lines’ operational performance.
Retaining international students : identifying the needs of international students attending Memorial University of Newfoundland

International students have many challenges to face when studying abroad. They have to be prepared to deal with cultural, academic, and social differences. When recruiting international students, Canadian universities need to be cognizant of these challenges and the needs of students. Institutions that are aware of the needs of international students can provide the appropriate programs and services and thus increase the universities’ abilities to retain them. -- This study assessed the pre-entry and entry needs of undergraduate and graduate international students who were first time entrants to Memorial University of Newfoundland during the fall semester of 1997 and the winter semester of 1998. The aim of this research was to identify the needs of international students and to make recommendations to Memorial University and more specifically, the Office of Student Affairs and Services as to how these needs could be met. -- The sixty-five item questionnaire collected information concerning needs in the following categories: academic, social/cultural, housing, finances, and recruitment and retention. The focus of this study was to explore the similarities and differences of the needs of undergraduate and graduate international students. -- A total of sixty-five questionnaires were available for data analysis. The most notable findings indicated that undergraduate and graduate international students have similar needs. Both groups would like to have information about Canada, and the university they will be attending before they leave to study abroad. Once they arrive in Canada, graduate students rely on their supervisors and respective faculties to assist in their adjustment to their new environment, whereas undergraduate international students tend to rely on friends and family for support and assistance. Other similar needs included (a) being met at the airport, (b) attending an orientation session, (c) participating in a peer-pairing program and a host family program, (d) assistance with locating accommodations, (e) assignment of an academic advisor, (0 academic assistance specifically with written and oral communication, (g) the lack of work opportunities on campus. The majority of students came to Memorial University because of recommendations from family and friends, and they believed that prospective international Memorial University students should be provided with information concerning the culture of Newfoundland, the university, and the weather conditions.
