Implantación e implementación de servicios en cuidados paliativos

Resumen Teniendo en cuenta que la demanda de servicios de cuidados paliativos en los hospitales generales de Brasil requiere el enfrentamiento de obstáculos y el establecimiento de estrategias para viabilizar la implementación de estos servicios en el sistema de salud, se plantea identificar el proceso de implantación y la efectividad de los servicios de cuidados paliativos en hospitales generales del país. Desde una revisión integradora de la literatura, que consistió en el análisis de cuatro artículos, se identificaron las siguientes etapas para la implantación y efectividad de los servicios de cuidados paliativos: Elaboración de protocolos, cuidado humanizado, multidisciplinariedad y educación. Además, se constataron como desafíos la falta de formación y educación en cuidados paliativos, la dificultad para llegar a consensos sobre prácticas paliativas, la comunicación, el suministro de medicamentos y el apoyo gubernamental. Es fundamental establecer políticas públicas para garantizar la implantación de los cuidados paliativos en los hospitales.
Accelerating research through individualized funding intelligence

Researchers are under ever increasing pressure to compete for research funding. More and more time is spent on writing lengthy proposals with dwindling success rates. IDfuse is a Dutch SME that wants to help researchers identify specialised, less well known funding opportunities. In 2016, IDfuse has launched impacter.eu, a successful online tool that runs automated analyses on drafted grant applications, allowing academic researchers to strengthen their grant proposals. IDfuse envisions to go a step further in its service by providing researchers with alternative funding opportunities based on the reviewed proposal and the scientific profile of the researcher, thereby accelerating research through individualized funding intelligence (ARTIFI). The envisioned product should essentially consist of a machine learning engine that is able to actively learn from interacting with the individual researcher. Moreover, in order to be able to present researchers with opportunities that go beyond what they would typically think of, IDfuse envisions that the engine should be able to expand the researcher profile with insights that can be extracted from open source research materials, including abstracts and open access scientific publications. In order to fully explore the development of such learning algorithm, expertise in the field of artificial intelligence and active machine learning is required. IDfuse currently does not have this expertise in its R&D team and it has not been able to recruit an individual with such expertise. This is mostly due to the low availability of suitable candidates and the high salary packages that larger companies are able to offer them. EC funding for an Innovation Associate will enable IDfuse to offer prospective candidates a competitive employment contract that additionally includes a tailored training programme. With this, IDfuse is convinced that it will be able to attract a candidate with the expertise to successfully complete the project.
Own HIV/AIDS Risk Perception and Associated Factors Among Mizan Tepi, University Students: Institution Based Cross-Sectional Study

Introduction: HIV/AIDS is an extraordinary king of crisis; it is both an emergency and a long term development issue. Its impact goes beyond public health concerns as it undermines the social and economic structures particularly that of developing courtiers since it is mainly affecting economically active segment of the population. Objectives: Assessment of level of HIV risk perception and associated factors among Mizan-Tepi University students, southern, Ethiopia, 2011. Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study supported with qualitative study design was conducted from April to May 2011. Data was collected from 627 randomly selected regular students using pretested structured questionnaire on self-administered basis. It was coded, entered, cleaned and analyzed using SPSS computer software package version 16. Summary statistics of socio demographic variables were presented using frequency tables and graphs. A logistic regressions analysis method was employed. Odds ratio with 95% confidence interval was used to assess the association of dependent and independent variables.

Achieving the Millennium Development Goal for Under-five Mortality in Bangladesh: Current Status and Lessons for Issues and Challenges for Further Improvements

The study assessed the achievements in, critically reviewed the relevant issues of, and put forward recommendations for achieving the target of the Millennium Development Goal relating to mortality of children aged less than five years (under-five mortality) in Bangladesh within 2015. To materialize the study objectives, a thorough literature review was done. Mortality of under-five children and infants decreased respectively to 65 from 151 and to 52 from 94 per 1,000 livebirths during 1990-2006. The immunization coverage increased from 54% to 81.9% during the same period. The projection shows that Bangladesh will achieve targeted reduction in under-five mortality and infant mortality within the time limit, except immunization coverage. Neonatal mortality contributed to the majority of childhood deaths. Contribution of neonatal mortality to child mortality was the highest. There were remarkable differences in child mortality by sex, division, and residence. To progress further for achieving the target of MDG relating to child mortality, some issues, such as lower use of maternal healthcare services, hazardous environmental effects on childhood illness, high malnutrition among children, shorter duration of exclusive breastfeeding practices, various child injuries leading to death, low healthcare-use of children, probable future threat of financial shortage, and strategies lacking area-wise focus on child mortality, need to be considered. Without these, the achievement of MDG relating to child mortality may not be possible within 2015.

Planning for sustainability: an assessment of recent metropolitan planning strategies and urban policy in Australia

Metropolitan planning strategies are a critical tool for achieving urban sustainability. The last significant evaluation of metropolitan strategies in Australia was undertaken in 2004. In this review it was identified that the sustainability construct is filtrating into the strategic understanding of planning. However, it was inconclusive whether these early signs of incorporating the sustainability imperative would be consolidated within the emergent wave of Australian metropolitan planning. Since the evaluation, state governments have released updated metropolitan planning strategies for the nation's five major urban regions, and in 2011, a new national urban policy was released by the federal government. It is timely to reconsider whether the concept of sustainability has been consolidated into this new wave of metropolitan planning strategies, something that Gleeson et al. observed was emerging. The aim of the paper is, therefore, to ascertain current positions on environmental sustainability in five ...
The biology of Australian weeds 58. 'Baccharis halimifolia' L.

Review(s) of: The genus name Baccharis is after the Greek bakkaris, an oil producing plant (later called 'Celtic valerian') (Parsons and Cuthbertson 1992). The species name halimifolia is derived from the Greek alimos meaning 'seas' and the Latin folium meaning 'leaf' (Parsons and Cuthbertson 1992). Baccharis halimifolia L. belongs to the family Asteraceae which is the largest family of flowering plants, comprised of over 1100 genera and 19 000 species (Zomlefer 1994). Baccharis is a large genus, comprised of over 400 species (Mahler and Waterfall 1964, Zomlefer 1994) distributed over seven geographical areas: Brazil, Andes Mountains, Andes-Patagonia, Guyanarum, south-eastern Brazil, Mexico (including western United States) and the Antilles (including the eastern United States) (Boldt 1989). In Australia, B. halimifolia is most commonly known as groundsel bush. 'Groundsel' refers to the groundsel-like flowering heads, as in plants in the Senecio genus (Parsons and Cuthbertson 1992). In its native region it is often referred to as saltbush (Stevenson 1969, Proffitt et al. 2005), groundsel tree (Altfeld and Stiling 2006), sea myrtle (Caccamise 1977, Dickens and Boldt 1985) and eastern baccharis (Adlerz 1980).
Modelling neuron-glia networks into a drug discovery platform for pain efficacious treatments - sofia ref.: 116072

Chronic Neuropathic Pain is frequently associated with peripheral nerve injury or disease. Peripheral injury activates both neuronal and glial components of the peripheral and central cellular circuitry. While it is widely known that the subsequently altered interactions between neurons and glial cells contribute to pain development and to its chronification, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Developing mechanism-based therapies targeting neuron-glial interactions to treat chronic pain will be crucial for improving the quality of life of many patients. Hence the development of novel therapeutic solutions represents a major challenge that demands a multi-disciplinary approach to decipher and understand pathological mechanisms and to translate them into predictive tools for drug development. The NGN-PET consortium addresses this challenge by forming a highly interdisciplinary team that builds upon expertise in areas of academic research on pain
mechanisms, industrial knowhow on human stem cell-based tool development, HTS technologies and drug discovery. To achieve its goal we will develop preclinical model systems and assays which recapitulate the human in vivo situation and which can be interrogated for the identification, validation of molecular targets and the development new treatments. A focus of the project will be chemotherapy induced NP and the interplay between nociceptors, microglia and Schwann cells. NGN-PET will carefully characterize rodent in vivo and in vitro models to identify these mechanisms, and will develop rat and human iPSCs based in vitro systems of neuron-glial co-cultures that can be interrogated for targets and used for compound identification and validation. NGN-PET will thus pose the basis for the translation of these model systems into high throughput screening platforms for pharmaceutical research and drug discovery.
American college of radiology appropriateness criteria®treatment of stage I T1 glottic cancer

Controversy surrounds the appropriate therapy for T1 glottic cancer. Both transoral endolaryngeal resection and radiation offer excellent local control and voice quality; some lesions are best addressed with resection and others with radiation.The American College of Radiology (ACR) Appropriateness Criteria are evidence-based guidelines for specific clinical conditions that are reviewed by a multidisciplinary expert panel. The guideline development includes an analysis of current literature from peer reviewed journals and the well-established "modified Delphi" consensus methodology to rate the appropriateness of treatment. Where evidence is not definitive, expert opinion informed recommendations.The ACR Expert Panel on Radiation Oncology - Head and Neck Cancer developed consensus recommendations for treatment of T1 glottic cancer. Treatment planning is complex and decisions nuanced.Best treatment for a particular cancer cannot be defined without consideration of the lesion's location, extent, depth of invasion, and quality of surgical exposure during direct laryngoscopy.
Enabling multichannel participation through ict adaptations

Participatory budgeting (PB) represents one of the most successful civic innovations of the last quarter-century. At a time when voter turnout in Europe is lagging and public institutions struggle to maintain trust and legitimacy within a framework of growing budgetary cuts, PB has proved itself to be a powerful tool for citizens to join in the essential tasks of governing, not only as voters but also as decision-makers themselves.

EMPATIA aims at producing the first ICT platform capable of fully encompassing both the decision-making cycle and the implementation cycle of PB whose integration is considered indispensable by literature as the main driver of the self-sustainability process. It will harness the collaborative power of ICT networks applied to PB, seeking to radically enhance the inclusiveness and impact of PB processes, enabling citizens, individually and collectively, to take deliberate and informed action for the public good. This will lower barriers to information and participation, deepening citizen engagement and trust in public institutions, collaborating alongside them to make their communities more sustainable.

EMPATIA consists of multidisciplinary consortium, with expertise in adjacent fields – research and implementation of participatory and voting processes, ICT integration, evaluation of technological and societal impacts among others – that will include in its activities the implementation of three distinct PB Pilots, with citizens from the municipalities of Lisbon (Portugal), Ričany (Czech Republic) and Bonn (Germany), allowing a thorough analysis and validation of the EMPATIA platform.
Simplifying test system development with IVI.NET

The IVI Foundation has developed and maintained specifications for building instrument drivers for more than a decade. Until recently, there were two choices for building IVI-compliant instrument drivers - IVI-COM and IVI-C. Each of these driver technologies offers its own advantages for specific types of users, and each comes with its own set of disadvantages. The release of the IVI.NET specifications from the IVI Foundation introduces a new mechanism for controlling instrumentation from test system software. As a great deal of Windows desktop application development (as well as a considerable amount of web development) has shifted to the Microsoft .NET platform, the demand for tools that help test system developers work with .NET has grown. Conventional desktop application developers have benefited considerably from the productivity gains of working with .NET, and test system developers have already begun to enjoy the same. Having a driver technology that fully capitalizes on the benefits of the .NET platform and that marries naturally with .NET-based test system software is critical. This paper will examine the new IVI.NET standard and take a practical look at how IVI.NET drivers can simplify test system development.
A new generation of small electric motors: more powerful, smaller, greener

Micromotors are small high-performance electric motors that fit in the palm of a hand. There are many applications that depend on micromotors: prosthetic arms, surgical robots or medical power tools. However, the micromotors currently in use were invented 40 years ago without any real innovation since then. 
This is about to change with the launch of the FlexCoil technology by Mirmex Motor. The core innovation consists of printing the motor winding (the part generating the magnetic force that creates the rotation) on a flexible PCB (printed circuit board) instead of manufacturing it out of copper wire. Once rolled tubularly, it enables novel winding geometries, currently impossible with conventional technology. This improves the performance of the micromotors in terms of compactness or efficiency.
Mirmex Motor is a spin-off from the UCL (Université Catholique de Louvain) with an exclusive exploitation license on the technology. After 7 years of research, the IP is protected by 2 patent applications, the inventors being part of the company founding team. 
Discussions with important sectorial end-users have indicated a strong interest in high added-value industries such as the medical, aeronautical, aerospace and robotics sectors, representing a market potential over €1 billion. 
An illustrative example of the positive impact of FlexCoil on EU citizens is the development of better active prostheses that could change the lives of those who need them. Their weight and their autonomy drastically depend on the motor performance. This is a problem that we can solve! 
With this Phase 1 SME grant request, Mirmex Motor plans to further validate key hypothesis regarding the market size, the willingness to pay from the customers, and the manufacturing ramp-up requirements. The company should reach +€20M in revenues by 2024 based on the sales of windings (€5-€150) to system manufacturers and complete motors (€100-€600) to system integrators.
‘A (Sensitive New Age Guy) with difference’: Gendered performances in online personal advertisements

This paper explores the representations of gender identities in the discourse of 200 online personal advertisements by Malaysian men and women. Using a combination of discourse analytical tools and corpus linguistic techniques this study demonstrates the construal of identity as a complex interaction of identity categorization and attitudinal resources. I-statements and nominal groups (Halliday, 1994; Halliday and Mattheissen, 2004) form my points of entry and linguistic patterns are semantically classified according to attitude (Martin and White, 2005) and Social Actor categorization (Van Leeuwen, 1996, 2008). General patterns construing typical and atypical representations of gender identities were observed by comparing the types of structure, semantics and collocates the data revealed. Results showed that advertisers appear to orient to what is expected in the context of courtship initiation in this particular genre, and are found to produce socially specific verbal practices that correspond to what is sought by men and women in general – e.g. ‘the slim and attractive woman’ and ‘the successful man’. Additionally, findings are also found to challenge hegemonic gender practices, construing counter-stereotypes such as ‘the sensitive man’. More significant however, is the construal of a Malaysian identity type – i.e. ‘the simple person’ – that cuts across gender lines.
Effect of feeding slow ammonia release and protected protein supplement in lactating cows and buffaloes

Feeding trials using slow ammonia release and protected protein supplement (SARPP) were conducted on lactating crossbred cows (n=24) and buffaloes (n=24). Animals were divided into three groups of eight each, based on milk yield, fat percentage and stage of lactation. In addition to basal ration, animals in groups I, II and III were fed 1.0 kg untreated rapeseed meal containing 50 g untreated urea, 1.0 kg treated meal containing 50 g untreated urea and 1.0 kg treated meal containing 50 g treated urea, respectively. In cows, the level of blood urea-N (mg/dl) was 12.23, 12.29 and 11.63, whereas, level of allantoins (mmol/litre) in urine was 7.94, 9.31 and 13.85 in groups I, II and III, respectively. The average milk yield (kg) and fat (%) in three groups of cows were 9.67 & 4.30, 10.61 & 4.56 and 11.05 & 4.58, respectively. In buffaloes, the level of blood urea nitrogen (mg/dl) was 10.33, 10.48 and 9.64 and the level of allantoins (mmol/litre) in urine was 2.35, 3.03 and 5.23 in groups I, II and III respectively. The average milk yield (kg) and fat (%) in three groups of buffaloes were 6.46 & 6.64, 7.42 & 6.81 and 7.70 & 6.86, respectively. The present study suggested that SARPP is promising feed supplement for increasing milk yield in cows and buffaloes.
