Musikgeschichte und Musiktherapie – einige Grundlinien und Zusammenhänge
Authors: Bockmaier Claus
Published: January 2019

[de] Die Abhandlung unternimmt den Versuch, die im vergangenen Jahrhundert aufgekommene Musiktherapie in ihren künstlerischen Bezügen als Teil einer musikgeschichtlichen Entwicklung begreifl ich zu machen, die nach 1900 in letzter Konsequenz eine Öffnung für alle möglichen Erscheinungsformen von Musik mit sich gebracht hat. Der allgemeinverständlich gehaltene Text entfaltet zunächst eine musikhistorische Gesamtsicht unter dem Aspekt der sukzessive gelösten Aufgaben von Komposition, um dann spezifi sche Bedingungen, Ausprägungen und Methoden der Musiktherapie in ihrer Abhängigkeit von der vielschichtigen Musikgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts zu beleuchten. Abrundend erscheinen zwei Beispiele je eigener Art für die schon früher bewusst ins Werk gesetzte “therapeutische” Kraft der Musik.

[es] El presente artículo pretende analizar la músicoterapia originada en el siglo pasado, en sus aspectos artísticos, como componente de un proceso histórico que ha conducido, a partir de 1900, a una apertura a todas las manifestaciones posibles de la música. El texto, también accesible a lectores que no posean un conocimiento experto, proporciona en primer lugar un panorama de la historia de la música europea en relación con problemas gradualmente solucionados por la composición, discutiendo luego algunas condiciones específi cas, formas y métodos de la músicoterapia, a la vista de su dependencia de la diversidad de la historia de la música del siglo XX. El trabajo fi naliza con dos ejemplos de la composición más reciente, demostrando, con sus propios medios, el poder “curativo” de la música.

Antonio de Cabezón y el comienzo de la música didáctica para tecla con valor artístico
Authors: Schmitt Stephan
Published: January 2019

Con las Obras de música para tecla, arpa y vihuela de Antonio y Hernando de Cabezón tenemos en las manos uno de los ejemplos más antiguos de método para instrumentos, que reúne la lógica didáctica con el alto nivel artístico. Fuera de eso, en las composiciones “para principiantes”, no se cumple mecánicamente el principio “de lo sencillo a lo dificil”, sino que Cabezón, en primer plano, concibe las posibilidades, esboza los espacios de juego y las libertades, en vez de traspasar demasiado sistemáticamente un espacio limitado por reglas. La distancia de los métodos contemporáneos para tecla, respecto a la calidad, justifica con ello, la valoración, que con este método se nos ha puesto en las manos, el primer ejemplo de música didáctica para tecla con valor artístico – 150 años antes de las correspondientes obras de Johann Sebastian Bach y 250 años antes del Álbum para la juventud de Robert Schumann.
La capilla musical de la iglesia de Santa María del Juncal en Irún (1780-1860)
Authors: Capdepón Verdú Paulino
Published: January 2019

Hasta época bien reciente la música en la ciudad guipuzcoana de Irún apenas había llamado la atención de los investigadores. Sin embargo, en los últimos tiempos diferentes estudios han demostrado la importancia musical que desempeñó la citada ciudad española. En este artículo se aborda por primera vez el estudio de la capilla musical de la Iglesia de Santa María del Juncal, principal institución eclesiástica de Irún, desde finales del siglo XVIII hasta 1860, teniendo en cuenta su composición, las principales festividades según el calendario litúrgico, funciones de los distintos componentes musicales de la capilla, etc. así como la trayectoria de los primeros maestros de capilla-organistas que ejercieron dicho cargo entre 1780 y 1860, entre los que destacan Miguel de Balzola, Agustín Cayetano de Echaide y Juan Antonio Prol.
Dice José Antonio Gómez, célebre profesor de forte-piano: “¿Y es esto todo lo que hay que tocar de más difícil?”
Authors: Lazos John G.
Published: January 2019

Tomando como punto de partida el siglo XVI, se puede decir que México cuenta con una vasta y rica tradición musical. Empero, poco se conoce de los músicos y la música del periodo del México Independiente, el siglo XIX. Por ejemplo, a pesar de que es normal encontrar el nombre de José Antonio Gómez en la literatura musical de este periodo, dicha información tiende a ser repetida y limitada. Este ensayo revisa parte de esta literatura para proceder así a cotejarla con fuentes de primera mano provenientes de la Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México como de sus propias publicaciones. En síntesis, además de demostrar la importancia como músico prolífico en los ámbitos religioso y secular, la intención del autor es presentar a Gómez como figura clave para acercarse y entender el periodo de la música que menos estudios ha recibido, periodo que coincide con los orígenes de México como nación.
El primer largometraje de animación europeo en color: Garbancito de La Mancha (1945) Análisis de la música de Jacinto Guerrero
Authors: Ramos Machí María José
Published: January 2019

El presente artículo se aproxima por primera vez, desde una vertiente específicamente musical, al análisis y estudio de la película Garbancito de la Mancha, que fuera el primer largometraje de animación europeo en color, y que dispuso para la confección de su banda sonora de la inestimable participación del maestro Jacinto Guerrero, ya para entonces (1945) considerado uno de los compositores del ámbito escénico latinoamericano y español más prestigiosos (autor destacado de zarzuelas de renombre internacional), al tiempo que, en el ámbito de la música “de consumo”, más al día de la época, como demuestra su participación en proyectos e iniciativas tan novedosos como la que representara Garbancito de la Mancha.

Authors: Andrés-Fernández David
Published: January 2019

Estudio comparativo de las piezas procesionales de la festividad de la Purificación que aparecen en fuentes bajomedievales de uso aragonés. El texto expone y analiza tanto el repertorio copiado en dichas fuentes como su ordenación litúrgica. Igualmente, se presta atención al comportamiento melódico-textual de una de sus piezas más representativas. El objetivo es conocer la filiación de dicho repertorio, estableciendo posibles vinculaciones con otras fuentes de la liturgia latina occidental. Tras un primer contexto teórico de esta celebración, mostramos el repertorio local y lo comparamos entre sí y con sus análogos en occidente, incluyendo el cotejo de las melodías de una de las piezas más significativas, para finalmente establecer una serie de conclusiones.
Una nueva fuente de polifonía antigua en la Península Ibérica. El manuscrito 98.28 de la Biblioteca Capitular de Toledo (E-Tc)
Authors: Galán Gómez Santiago
Published: January 2019

Con este trabajo presentamos una colección de piezas de la Escuela de Notre Dame conservadas en el archivo de la Biblioteca Capitular de Toledo, únicamente citada anteriormente pero no descrita. Constituye una importante aportación al repertorio de polifonía antigua conservada en España, especialmente por la presencia de una versión a tres voces del hoquetus In seculum, así como de un nuevo texto poético, Agmina malicie junto con el conocido Agmina milicie. El estudio codicológico, textual, musical y de notación permite proponer un origen de copia francés para la colección, y datar su realización en los primeros años del siglo XIV. Se puede definir la fuente como una “copia terminal” de música de Notre Dame, pero todavía utilizable en la práctica musical dada la sincronización de las voces en el manuscrito.
Historiografía musical de las parroquias en España: estado de la cuestión
Authors: Pérez Mancilla Victoriano J.
Published: January 2019

La mayoría de los trabajos realizados en España sobre música religiosa han tomado como objeto de estudio las catedrales y colegiatas, catalogando y transcribiendo obras, analizando los recursos musicales de los centros, la circulación de intérpretes entre ellos, la forma en que la economía eclesiástica afectó a su música o la evolución y aceptación de los diferentes estilos. Sin embargo, el estudio musical de las iglesias parroquiales no ha tenido la misma suerte, a pesar de que era en éstas donde se interpretaban las obras que escuchaba la mayoría de la población y que, en ocasiones, dispusieron de recursos materiales y humanos propios de templos con rango colegial e incluso catedralicio. Por ello, en este artículo se hace un recorrido a la historiografía musical española sobre parroquias, determinando el estado de la cuestión y favoreciendo así la realización de futuros estudios sobre el tema.
La “Fuga a quatro todas las bozes por vna sexto tono” de Antonio de Cabezón y su textualidad parcial en Melchior Franck (Da pacem Domine)
Authors: Schmitt Stephan
Published: January 2019

La fuga a quatro de Antonio de Cabezón es un canon a cuatro voces y una de las piezas más extraordinarias de la colección Obras de música para tecla, arpa y vihuela… debido a su compleja estructura. La señal característica consiste en la interdependencia parcial de los sujetos. Al lado de eso, se puede entrever un principio de variación que señala hacia un futuro lejano: la variación “en evolución”. El canon Da pacem Domine (popular en el área lingüística alemana) de Melchior Franck es una textualización del comienzo de la Fuga a quatro de Cabezón, sin que el compositor Franck hubiera indicado este origen.

Published: January 2019

Este artículo ofrece un estudio sobre los conceptos de mensura y compás durante el siglo XVI, sacado de libros de teoría y práctica musical de la época en España y Europa (Glareanus, Ornitoparchus, Bermudo, Marcos Durán, Santa María...), con vistas a la comprensión de las señales indiciales, sus cambios de significado a lo largo del siglo y la estructura rítmica interna y externa de las Obras de música de Antonio de Cabezón, de cara a su moderna interpretación.
Audire, tangere, mirari. Notas sobre el instrumentarium de los Cabezón
Authors: Cea Galán Andrés
Published: January 2019

Como músico de cámara y capilla del príncipe Felipe, Antonio de Cabezón tuvo la oportunidad de oir, palpar y admirar instrumentos de características muy diversas, no sólo en España sino también en las numerosas ciudades europeas que visitó durante los años 1548-51 y 1554-55. El presente artículo intenta presentar un panorama general de ese instrumentarium, ponderando la influencia de los modelos organológicos fl amencos en el proceso de renovación de la organería hispana de finales del siglo XVI, con especial énfasis en los contactos establecidos en Bruselas entre Antonio de Cabezón y el organero Jean Crinon.

Mining Inter-Relationships in Online Scientific Articles and its Visualization: Natural Language Processing for Systems Biology Modeling
Authors: Melethadathil Nidheesh , Heringa Jaap , Nair Bipin , Diwakar Shyam
Published: January 2019

With the rapid growth in the numbers of scientific publications in domains such as neuroscience and medicine, visually interlinking documents in online databases such as PubMed with the purpose of indicating the context of a query results can improve the multi-disciplinary relevance of the search results. Translational medicine and systems biology rely on studies relating basic sciences to applications, often going through multiple disciplinary domains. This paper focuses on the design and development of a new scientific document visualization platform, which allows inferring translational aspects in biosciences within published articles using machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) methods. From online databases, this software platform effectively extracted relationship connections between multiple sub-domains within neuroscience derived from abstracts related to user query. In our current implementation, the document visualization platform employs two clustering algorithms namely Suffix Tree Clustering (STC) and LINGO. Clustering quality was improved by mapping top-ranked cluster labels derived from an UMLS-Metathesaurus using a scoring function. To avoid non-clustered documents, an iterative scheme, called auto-clustering was developed and this allowed mapping previously uncategorized documents during the initial grouping process to relevant clusters. The efficacy of this document clustering and visualization platform was evaluated by expert-based validation of clustering results obtained with unique search terms.  Compared to normal clustering, auto-clustering demonstrated better efficacy by generating larger numbers of unique and relevant cluster labels. Using this implementation, a Parkinson’s disease systems theory model was developed and studies based on user queries related to neuroscience and oncology have been showcased as applications.

Published: January 2019

As clinical treatments for type-2 diabetes patients using mobile application on smartphones have become more widely practiced, the technology has enabled patients to easily control and monitor their blood sugar levels themselves. Although, the technology development provides more options to improve type-2 diabetes treatment, not all applications developed are suitable for the real treatment as there might be different situations and treatments for different cases.Research questions occurred while attempting to develop a diabetes mobile application as a supportive learning and self-monitoring tool. These research questions are the followings: How are patients enabled to use the diabetes mobile application effectively? And what are necessary functions of the mobile application for diabetes? The objective of this research are (1) to analysis, design, and development of a type-2 diabetes mobile application (T2DM) (2) to test the application.The method starts with collecting users’ requirements from diabetes experts, type-2 diabetes patients and their relatives for using the type-2 diabetes literacy-learning tool. Five qualified diabetes experts and five pairs of diabetes patients with their relatives were investigated for gathering users’ requirements that lead to necessary functions for the development. After the T2DM is completely developed, 18 medical staffs and 20 diabetes patients and patient relatives tested the T2DM by using the application.Conclusion: When designing the more effective T2DM, developing of necessary functions by users’ involvement ensures that requirements were analyzed and tested. It has been found that the nutrition function is the most significant piece of information for the T2DM, and also the key point of the development. At the same time, the functions for blood sugar recording and information sending are the most supportive and helpful functions for users.
A Survey on the Acceptability of Equivalence-Based Translation Into Yorùbá Language in the Domain of Information and Communication Technology
Authors: Adejumo Jethro Akinyemi
Published: January 2019

This article contains a descriptive survey on the acceptability of equivalence-based translation of the menu of TECNO Android phones into the Yorùbá language, one of the three major languages in Nigeria. Words translated into Yorùbá were categorized into strategies of borrowing, semantic extension and composition and analysed from equivalence effect. In the follow-up survey, information and communication technology experts and general mobile phone users were carefully chosen and consulted for an assessment of the appropriateness of the translation. The study concluded that equivalence, the key term of linguistic translation theories, is still a viable concept in the translation of information and communication technology and equivalence-based translation into Yorùbá will not only promote the language but also contribute to effective communication in a multilingual global village that the world is fast becoming.
Human vs. AI
Authors: Li Hanji , Chen Haiqing
Published: January 2019

As one of the most important applications of AI, machine translation has always been the hot topic among scholars in linguistics, computer science, cognitive science and other areas. This article made an assessment of translations of 4 selected major online machine translation platforms from perspectives of efficiency, operating mode and condition. The outputs of machine and human were compared by employing new “6-4” table and comprehensive error rate. The assessment shows that although the quality of machine translation is improving, the gap still exists between the quality of machine translation and human translation. Based on the research findings, the author predicts that machine translation cannot possibly replace human translation and the two will continue to coexist in the foreseeable future.

Published: January 2019

AbstractThe damage and loss of life caused by tsunamis can be reduced by timely warnings, which predict the arrival time and maximum height of tsunamis, to support evacuations and other mitigating actions. We have developed a real-time tsunami prediction system based on data
from the Dense Oceanfloor Network system for Earthquakes and Tsunamis (DONET) that has been implemented in some local governments along the Pacific coast of Japan. The system generates estimates of tsunami arrival times and the height, inundation areas, and worst case using selected fault
rupture models. The main objective of this paper is to show the possibility of applying the above system for a complicated topography area, and we report a successful application of the system in Sakaide, a city on the Shikoku coast of the Inland Sea, using a simulated great plate-boundary
earthquake in the Nankai Trough. The simulated tsunami propagates to Sakaide by complicated routes between several islands. According to calculated tsunami waveforms of 1,506 cases, waveforms of tsunamis propagating to the Inland Sea have a relatively uniform frequency, regardless of the magnitude
of the causative event, after running through the narrow straits in the Inland Sea. At the same time, waves are amplified as they pass between the islands of Shodoshima and Shikoku by an interaction with reflected waves. These effects are compatible with this prediction system, and we confirmed
that our predicted tsunami is consistent with the final result from a model of a magnitude 9 Nankai Trough earthquake.
Lessons Learned in Developing a Canadian Operational Glider Fleet
Authors: Davis Richard , Comeau Adam , L'Orsa Sue , Van der Meer Jude , Covey Brad , Pye Jonathan , Whoriskey Frederick
Published: January 2019

AbstractCanada's expanding “Blue Economy” requires a major expansion of existing ocean monitoring if developments are to be sustainably managed. Dalhousie University, the Ocean Tracking Network, and the Marine Environmental Observation Prediction and Response
Network of Centers of Excellence have operated a mixed fleet of gliders for 7 years on missions covering >50,000 km. The data from these missions are used by research programs, nongovernmental organizations, and government agencies. The gliders have proven to be reliable platforms for ocean
observation, collecting data in inclement weather, and times of the year when it is difficult to get ships at sea. However, glider operations have a steep learning curve, and much of the expertise that resides within an operational glider group is gleaned through experience. Managing glider
data also poses significant challenges. Planning, risk management, rapid adaptation to the unexpected, and dedicated highly qualified personnel are the keys to sustaining successful glider operations.
Incorporation of Acoustic Sensors on a Coastal Ocean Monitoring Platform for Measurements of Biological Activity
Authors: Locascio James , Mann David , Wilcox Kyle , Luther Mark
Published: January 2019

AbstractOcean observing stations have mainly focused on data collection of physical parameters measured in the ocean and atmosphere and also, to some extent, of biogeochemical parameters. Robust sensors capable of measuring biological data reflective of higher tropic level
function at the same time scales as other parameters are not yet commonly incorporated into the sensor array used on observing platforms. In this project, we reengineered a coastal ocean observatory to include two hydrophones for this purpose. One hydrophone (HTI 96-MIN) was used to record
ambient acoustic signals of fish reproductive sounds, and a second hydrophone (Vemco VR2C) was used to receive transmissions from acoustic tags implanted in fishes. This project demonstrates that it is possible at a regional ocean observing station to collect data on biological-physical processes
at the same time scales over long periods and on a cost-effective basis. This will allow a better understanding of natural variability in ecosystem processes and potential impacts on these from anthropogenic sources and climate change. Technical details of the reengineering methods used to
make the station operational and URLs of data tables and archives are provided.

Volumetric and Shape Analysis of the Subcortical Regions in Schizophrenia Patients: A Pilot Study
Authors: Jamea Abdullah Abu , Alblowi Muhammed , Alghamdi Jamaan , Alosaimi Fahad D , Al-Bader Fahad , Bashir Shahid
Published: January 2019

Objective:

Investigation of brain structure in disease has been enhanced by developments in shape analysis methods that can identify subtle regional surface distortions. High-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was used to compare volumetric and shape analysis in schizophrenia (SCZ) patients and healthy controls (CON).

Methods:

T1-weighted, 1-mm thick MR images were acquired for 15 patients with SCZ and 15 age-matched healthy controls using subcortical volume and shape analysis, which we believe to be complimentary to volumetric measures.

Results:

SCZ patients showed significant shape differences compared to healthy controls in the right hippocampus (P < 0.005), left and right putamen (P < 0.044 and P < 0.031), left caudate (P < 0.029), right pallidum (P < 0.019), and left thalamus (P < 0.033).

Conclusion:

Our results provide evidence for subcortical neuroanatomical changes in patients with SCZ. Hence, shape analysis may aid in the identification of structural biomarkers for identifying individuals of SCZ.
V iskanju slovarsko relevantne kolokacije na primeru struktur s prislovi
Authors: Pori Eva , Kosem Iztok
Published: January 2019

V leksikogramatični raziskavi so predstavljeni rezultati analiz struktur s prislovi, ki so bile izvedene v okviru temeljnega raziskovalnega projekta Kolokacije kot temelj jezikovnega opisa: semantični in časovni vidiki (KOLOS; J6-8255). Na podlagi rezultatov predhodno izvedene pilotne množičenjske naloge, v kateri so označevalci jezikoslovci ocenjevali avtomatsko izluščene kolokacijske kandidate iz korpusa Gigafida in se opredeljevali do tega, kaj je in kaj ni slovarsko relevantna kolokacija, smo analizirali vse kolokacijsko produktivne strukture s prislovi. Namen analiziranja je bil opredeliti kolokacijo kot semantično relevantno sopojavitev dveh (ali več) besed ter s tem tudi razliko med slovarsko relevantnimi kolokacijami in statistično prepoznanimi oz. šibkejšimi kolokacijami, ki ne opravljajo semantične funkcije in so posledično nerelevantne za kolokacijski slovar.

Analize struktur s prislovi so pokazale, da se je o semantični relevantnosti in slovarski vključenosti pri posameznih primerih kolokacijskih kandidatov ali tipih kolokatorjev treba odločati na ravni posamezne strukture. Tovrstni primer so prislovi, ki lahko nastopajo v vlogi intenzifikatorja (tip kar pošteno [načeti]) ali pa semantično manj relevantni vlogi poudarnosti oz. členkovnosti (tip kar prekiniti). Podobne jezikoslovne obravnave so potrebne širše skupine števniškosti, kot je kratnost ali zaporedje (zaporednostni prislovi), ki jih zaradi raznolike semantične relevantnosti ne moremo strukturno omejiti (četrtič doktorirati proti stokrat povedati).

Podatki, pridobljeni na podlagi opravljenih analiz, bodo omogočali podrobnejše ali nadaljnje analize, predvsem pa celovit opis vsake kolokacijske strukture in njene kolokativnosti. Na podlagi identificiranih napak zaradi avtomatskega označevanja strukture pa bo mogoče nadgraditi obstoječe vzorce za luščenje in predvsem izboljšati avtomatsko luščenje za problematične strukture. Podatki bodo zelo uporabni tudi pri nadaljnjem vključevanju in obravnavi novih struktur, prvotno izločenih zaradi precejšnjega šuma. Vse ugotovitve bo mogoče implementirati v leksikografski delotok in na ta način izboljšati podatke (stopenjskost gesel) v slovarju. Učno množico s 17.576 kandidati bo mogoče uporabiti tudi v drugih dejavnostih projekta KOLOS: za uvrščanje kolokatorjev v gruče, primerjavo sopomenk s kolokacijami in nenazadnje za proučevanje kolokacijskih trendov skozi čas.

Emergency management of trauma in India: Expectations and reality
Authors: Sharma, MBBS, MD B. R.
Published: January 2019

Emergency management of trauma in the developing world is at a nascent stage of development. Industrialized cities, rural towns, and villages coexist, with an almost complete lack of organized trauma care. There is no leading national agency to coordinate the various components of a trauma system, and no mechanism for accreditation of trauma centers and professionals exists. Accelerated urbanization and industrialization over the last three to four decades has led to an alarming increase in the rate of accidental injuries, crime, and violence, and ever-increasing terrorist activities over the last two decades have ushered in man-made mass-casualty disasters. However, communicable diseases, maternal and child health, and population control continue to be government priorities, far ahead of trauma care, in countries like India. New initiatives under the National Health Policy 2002 were expected to result in improvements in the systems, but grossly inadequate funding allocation made any significant impact on the outcome impossible. Strengthening in several areas is severely needed to achieve a reasonable level of efficiency, despite significant efforts on the part of the private sector to develop trauma care systems.
The quinary pattern of blast injury
Authors: Kluger, MD, FACS Yoram , Nimrod, MD Adi , Biderman, MD Philippe , Mayo, MD Ami , Sorkin, MD Patric
Published: January 2019

Objective: Bombing is the primary weapon of global terrorism, and it results in a complicated, multidimensional injury pattern. It induces bodily injuries through the well-documented primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary mechanisms of blast. Their effects dictate special medical concern and timely implementation of diagnostic and management strategies. Our objective is to report on clinical observations of patients admitted to the Tel Aviv Medical Center following a terrorist bombing. Results: The explosion injured 27 patients, and three died. Four survivors who had been in close proximity to the explosion, as indicated by their eardrum perforation and additional blast injuries, were exposed to the blast wave. They exhibited a unique and immediate hyperinflammatory state, two upon admission to the intensive care unit and two during surgery. This hyper-inflammatory state manifested as hyperpyrexia, sweating, low central venous pressure, and positive fluid balance. This state did not correlate with the complexity of injuries sustained by any of the 67 patients admitted to the intensive care unit after previous bombings. Conclusion: The patients’ hyperinflammatory be-havior, unrelated to their injury complexity and severity of trauma, indicates a new injury pattern in explosions, termed the “quinary blast injury pattern.” Unconventional materials used in the manufacture of the explosive can partly explain the observed early hyperinflammatory state. Medical personnel caring for blast victims should be aware of this new type of bombing injury.
Activating physicians within a hospital emergency plan: A concept whose time has come?
Authors: Gebbie, DrPH, RN Kristine M. , Silber, MD, MBA Steve , McCollum, MPA Michael , Lazar, MD, MBA Eliot J.
Published: January 2019

Background: Clinicians are an essential component of the medical response to an emergency in which there are actual or suspected injuries. However, little is known about the institutional notification methods for clinicians during emergencies, particularly for off-site staff. Further, there is little knowledge regarding clinicians’ level of awareness of the emergency plans at hospitals with which they are affiliated, or of their knowledge regarding the notification protocols involved in plan activation during an emergency. If physicians are unaware of how to respond to an actual or threatened emergency, the effectiveness of any hospital emergency plan is severely limited. Objective: This study sought to examine hospital emergency plans, institutional clinician notification, and recall procedures, as well as clinicians’ level of knowledge regarding the emergency notification and recall protocol(s) at the hospital(s) with which they are affiliated. Methods: Written surveys were sent to hospital emergency coordinators, chiefs of service, and individ-ual clinicians employed by a large, multihospital healthcare system in a major urban area. Results: We found that 64 percent of respondents’ hospitals had a recall protocol; of those, 53 percent required that the hospital contact clinicians, with 17 percent of those hospitals using a central operator to make the calls. Of the chiefs of services who participat-ed, 56 percent claimed to be very familiar with their facility’s emergency plan, and 53 percent knew that it had been activated at least once in the past year. Conclusions: Hospital emergency responders are not sufficiently knowledgeable of their institutions’ emergency plans. In order to ensure sufficient surge capacity and timely response, a tiered activation sys-tem, intimately familiar to potential responders, should be developed, taught, and drilled by hospitals to formalize physician call-up.

Introduction: Disaster drills are a valuable means of training healthcare providers to respond to mass casualty incidents resulting from acts of terrorism or public health crises. We present here a proposed hospital-based disaster drill evaluation tool that is designed to identify strengths and weaknesses of hospital disaster drill response, provide a learning opportunity for disaster drill participants, and promote integration of lessons learned into future responses. Methods: Clinical specialists, experienced disaster drill coordinators and evaluators, and experts in questionnaire design developed the evaluation mod-ules based upon a comprehensive review of the litera-ture, including evaluations of disaster drills. The tool comprises six evaluation modules designed to capture strengths and weaknesses of different aspects of hospital disaster response. The Predrill Module is completed by the hospital during drill planning and is used to define the scope of the exercise. The Incident Command Center Module assesses command structure, communication between response areas and the command center, and communication to outside agencies. The Triage Zone Module captures the effect of a physical space on triage activities, efficiency of triage operations, and victim flow. The Treatment Zone Module assesses the relation of the zone’s physical characteristics to treatment activities, efficacy of treatment operations, adequacy of supplies, and victim flow. A Decontamination Zone Module is available for evaluating decontamination operations and the use of decontamination and/or personal protective equipment in drills that involve biological or radiological hazardous materials. The Group Debriefing Module provides sample discussion points for drill participants in all types of drills. The tool also has addenda to evaluate specifics for 1) general observation and documentation, 2) victim tracking, 3) biological incidents, and 4) radiological incidents. Conclusion: This evaluation tool will help meet the need for standardized evaluation of disaster drills. The modular approach offers flexibility and could be used by hospitals to evaluate staff training on response to natural or man-made disasters.
Reuniting children with their families during disasters: A proposed plan for greater success
Authors: Chung, MD Sarita , Shannon, MD, MPH Michael

In the event of a terrorist attack or natural disaster, large numbers of children may be separated from their families and caregivers. Many of these children will present for treatment at emergency departments or be evacuated to relocation sites. Depending on their age, some children may not be able to give their name or may be too frightened to give any information, making identification difficult. At the same time, parents will instinctively rush to hospitals to find their children. In the process, parents may unintentionally obstruct medical care, overwhelm an already stressed staff, and violate patient privacy as they frantically search for their children. Currently, there is no system in the United States that effectively expedites the reunification of children with their families when children can not be identified by healthcare or public health personnel.We propose the creation of a system that employs advanced imaging and feature-extraction technology. We envision a system in which digital images of individual children are captured as they enter a facility, with these images then being automatically transmitted and posted on a secure Web site. Features of each image, such as hair and eye color, would be automatically indexed and cataloged. With the help of trained professionals, parents could enter their child’s features into the system and receive a limited set of images for identification, allowing for rapid reunification of the family. Additional advanced features of such a system will be explored. If successful, the use of such a system would address an important unmet need in pediatric emergency preparedness.

Acute posttraumatic stress symptoms and depression after exposure to the 2005 Saskatchewan Centennial Air Show disaster: Prevalence and predictors
Authors: Taylor, PhD Steven , Asmundson, PhD Gordon J.G. , Carleton, MA R. Nicholas , Brundin, MA Peter
Published: January 2019

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of acute distress—that is, clinically significant posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and depression—and to identify predictors of each in a sample of people who witnessed a fatal aircraft collision at the 2005 Saskatchewan Centennial Air Show.Design: Air Show attendees (N157) were recruited by advertisements in the local media and completed an Internet-administered battery of questionnaires.Results: Based on previously established cut-offs, 22 percent respondents had clinically significant PTSS and 24 percent had clinically significant depressive symptoms. Clinically significant symptoms were associated with posttrauma impairment in social and occupational functioning. Acute distress was associated with several variables, including aspects of Air Show trauma exposure, severity of prior trauma exposure, low posttrauma social support (ie, negative responses by others), indices of poor coping (eg, intolerance of uncertainty, rumination about the trauma), and elevated scores on anxiety sensitivity, the personality trait of absorption, and dissociative tendencies.Conclusions: Results suggest that clinically significant acute distress is common in the aftermath of witnessed trauma. The statistical predictors (correlates) of acute distress were generally consistent with the results of studies of other forms of trauma. People with elevated scores on theoretical vulnerability factors (eg, elevated anxiety sensitivity) were particularly likely to develop acute distress.
Gendered dimensions of disaster care: Critical distinctions in female psychosocial needs, triage, pain assessment, and care
Authors: Richter, EMT, MA Roxane , Flowers, DO Thomas
Published: January 2019

Objective: This research highlights and identifies some critical distinctions in female disaster care including the following: socially constructed gender risk factors; gender and posttraumatic stress; women and pain (presentation and sensitivity); and postdisaster support and services, especially in the arenas of obstetrics and gynecology (breastfeeding, menstruation, contraception, rape, and sexually transmitted disease [STDs]). The research also includes a brief, anonymous survey of 50 adult female Hurricane Katrina evacuees which queried women on their usage of postdisaster health and counseling services.Conclusions: Our literature review shows a pattern of gender differentiation in all areas of the disaster process—in preparedness, response, physical and psychological impact, risk perception and exposure, recovery, and reconstruction. Some research highlights include: six disaster gender risk factors affecting vulnerability, impact and exposure; heightened risks and differing clinical manifestations of posttraumatic stress disorder and pain presentation; “pregnancy status” triage screening; as well gender-sensitive supplies and services (private breastfeeding and obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) exam areas, birth control, feminine hygiene, and prenatal nutrition advocacy). The results of the small voluntary survey are presented that supports the contention that many gender-sensitive services were needed in posthurricane Katrina clinical settings, but were inadequate or nonexistent.This research not only identified issues, but emphasized feasible interventions, which could significantly reduce pain, suffering, and long-term postdisaster care costs. The research’s most important conclusions are the current dearth of gender-disaggregated disaster data, as well as the tremendous need for disaster healthcare planners and providers to take a more cognizant and proactive approach to gender-specific care in triage, psychosocial needs assessment, medical care, and advocacy.
The impact of correctional institutions on public health during a pandemic or emerging infection disaster
Authors: Schwartz, PhD Rachel D.
Published: January 2019

With the growing threat of a naturally occurring or man-made global pandemic, many public, private, federal, state, and local institutions have begun to develop some form of preparedness and response plans. Among those in the front lines of preparedness are hospitals and medical professionals who will be among the first responders in the event of such a disaster. At the other end of the spectrum of preparedness is the Corrections community who have been working in a relative vacuum, in part because of lack of funding, but also because they have been largely left out of state, federal local planning processes. This isolation and lack of support is compounded by negative public perceptions of correctional facilities and their inmates, and a failure to understand the serious impact a jail or prison facility would have on public health in the event of a disaster. This article examines the unique issues faced by correctional facilities responding to disease disasters and emphasizes the importance of assisting them to develop workable and effective preparedness and response plans that will prevent them from becoming disease repositories spreading illness and infection throughout our communities. To succeed in such planning, it is crucial that the public health and medical community be involved in correctional disaster planning and that they should integrate correctional disaster response with their own. Failure to do so endangers the health of the entire nation.
