Kunci sukses sebuah perpustakaan adalah keharmonisan hubungan antara pemustaka dengan pustakawan dalam berinteraksi. Terjalinnya interaksi antara kedua pihak sebagai pondasi utama tercapainya tujuan layanan sebuah perpustakaan, tersampaikannya layanan pustakawan selaras dengan terakomodirnya kebutuhan pemustaka. Sejak semula pustakawan dituntut untuk berorientasi terhadap kebutuhan pemustaka, namun dengan semakin pesat ilmu pengetahuan dan makin canggihnya teknologi, pemustaka pun mempunyai andil besar untuk memposisikan dirinya tidak ketinggalan informasi. Dewasa ini, pemustaka seolah dituntut sadar diri, tahu diri terhadap perkembangan yang terjadi jika tidak ingin tertinggal informasi. Dengan kata lain, seiring tingkat kebutuhannya terhadap informasi yang sangat tinggi, pemustaka pun dituntut untuk berorientasi pada informasi, yaitu beorientasi pada perpustakaan sebagai wadah (penampung) informasi, maupun pustakawan sebagai penyalur layanan informasi.Guna mengantisipasi ketidakharmonisan tersebut, pada penelitian ini diusulkan sebuah program Library User Education (LUE) – Malley (dalam IBLims, 2015) bagi pengguna (pemustaka) perpustakaan STIKI sebagai satu faktor yang menjembatani misinformation pemustaka terhadap tata cara maupun kebijakan perpustakaan. Diharapkan perpustakaan STIKI mampu memberikan layanan perpustakaan sebaik mungkin baik sumber daya perpustakaan, layanan maupun fasilitas. Begitu pula pemustaka diharapkan mampu mendapatkan tutorial (pengajaran), diberi pemahaman dan kesempatan untuk mengenal perpustakaan lebih dekat, sehingga pemustaka bisa memanfaatkan sumber-sumber informasi dan layanan perpustakaan secara optimal.

Balinese language with its leveling still intensively used by the Balinese people. Anggah-ungguhing basa (the languages levels) mostly used in the traditional event, and in special events, such as a workshop, conference, and seminars. It also used when the Balinese communicate with elder and strangers. Generally for most Balinese language regarded as the mother language, especially those who live in rural areas.Since the lack of young generation interest, the use of Balinese language levels has decreased.Intead of complicated language levels in Balinese, the young Balinese prefer to use Indonesian, as its more practical and easier.On the other hand, the Balinese language levels, contain a value of modesty, courtesy, and manners, also be a symbol of social class in Balinese society. Communication is arranged based on a social class using fine andcoarse language.
Bahasa Satire dalam Meme Media Sosial
Authors: Ayu Suciartini Ni Nyoman
Published: July 2020

The satire style was chosen to express satire and criticism explicitly. In the style of communicating on social media, satire is also used in making memes. The problem with this research is how is satire language in meme culture on social media? The focus of this research is to reveal how political satire is discussed in memes on social media. The purpose of this study is to examine more deeply how the satire discourse is contained in pictorial texts or purely texts in social media memes. This research is interesting because the satire humor style contained in memes becomes an effective, absurd political, economic, educational, cultural, and other response that is able to shift, eliminate, then reverse and bring up new discourses. This study uses a critical discourse analysis by Norman Fairclough which has an identification that the discourse can be a series of verbal and written words or a series of speech acts. With this knife of analysis, it was found that satire in memes on social media is used in the form of satire and criticism of things that are being viral and how these issues affect social media to the real world. Memes are not seen as silent, passive, and finished texts as they are produced. Memes, on the other hand, are dynamic and moving strategies, through comedy-satire.

In the Printing Industry, printing inks, varnishes, lacquers, moistening solutions and washing solvents (ethanol, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropanol, n-propanol, hexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, isopropyl acetate, propyl acetate, dimethyl ketone, glycols and glycol ethers) contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and air pollutants (HAPs). Especially solvent based inks used for flexo, gravure and screen printing, offset printing dampening solutions and cleaning solvents contain high concentration of VOC. These organic compounds evaporate during the production process or contribute to the photochemical reaction. VOCs and HAPs, together with sunlight and nitrogen oxides, cause photochemical smoke, air particles and ground level ozone emission in the atmosphere. The VOCs and heavy metals can lead to soil and even water pollution when left in landfill. The amount of solvent retained by flexo, gravure and screen-printed products is 3-4% of total ink solvent used. The solvent in the printed ink content, except for the one held by the printed material evaporates in its own environment after the printing process. Most of these solvents and organic compounds used in printing environment contain at least one carbon and hydrogen atom and have negative effects on health and environment.In this study, the environmental impacts and risks of inks and solvents used in the printing industry have been evaluated. Measures to be taken to reduce and manage these environmental effects and risks have been addressed and recommendations have been made.

Evaluating the Teaching of Academic Debate and Critical Thinking Course at Iraqi Kurdistan Universities
Authors: Hasan Al Bajalani Fatimah R. , Abdulrahman Barham S.
Published: July 2020

The study is based on the assumption that the current curricula in the Iraqi Kurdistan Universities (henceforth IKU) were not satisfactorily compatible with the scientific, technological and industrial needs of the Region’s markets. These curricula neither help students to develop their skills nor assist them in thinking creatively. Therefore, the new curricula are supposed to educate undergraduates to increase their capabilities in research, information dissemination and learning a second/foreign language. The Academic Debate and Critical Thinking (ADCT) course was added to all freshmen programs in order to prepare them for university life and make them proficient cadre for their future occupation. This course helps students to be critical thinkers and effective communicators. Since the new version of this course has been implemented for four years, this study attempts to evaluate the course and find out how it is taught, how effective it is, what topics are studied, what activities are used, what types of assessment are employed and what are the main challenges that teachers and students face in dealing with this course. The sample of the study are the teachers of ADCT and the first year students in the English departments in both Colleges of Basic Education at Salahaddin University-Erbil and the University of Sulaimani in the academic year 2017-2018. Two questionnaires were prepared using Google Form. The students’ responses revealed that debating is focused on, general social problems are debated, academic posters are used more, and group work is dominating class activities. As for teachers’ responses, they think that the objectives of the course are clear and achievable, discussion and debating are mostly used, and the assessment system suggested by the textbook is used accurately except for poster design which some teachers do not teach.
Multiculturalism: An antidote to racism or untouched inequalities? A comparative study of second-generation Jamaicans and second-generation Portuguese in Toronto
Authors: Ari Esra
Published: July 2020

This research examines the effects of “race” and “class” on the economic and social integration of second-generation Jamaicans (n=23) and Portuguese (n=20) in Canada. This qualitative study uses interview data to compare the role of multiculturalism in the integration of two second-generation immigrant groups. I find that the integration of these two groups differs based on their visible minority status and their social class. These results are important to develop policies for the integration of racialized native-born youth into a multiethnic society.
SPEAKING LEARNING STRATEGIES EMPLOYED BY ENGLISH-MAJORED SOPHOMORES AT COLLEGE OF FOREIGN ECONOMIC RELATIONS
Authors: Hoa Truong Minh , Mien Thao Phan Thi
Published: July 2020

The increasing demand for good communicative skills in a globalized society activates English speaking learning around the world. Specific to the Vietnamese context, after many years of being much exposed to English, most of tertiary students still find it difficult to communicate effectively in realistic situations since they have not yet possessed effective speaking learning strategies (Richards, 2002; Rababa’h, 2005). This study aimed at exploring speaking learning strategies employed by 82 English-majored sophomores at College of Foreign Economic Relations (COFER), Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Mixed-methods design was used for collecting data, involving the two research instruments: a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. While quantitative data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed by SPSS 22.0, interview results were thematically analyzed. The findings of the study indicated that the majority of the English-majored sophomores usually utilized both direct and indirect strategies. The most frequently used strategies consisted of structuring or planning of ideas and language input, using dictionary for vocabulary learning, compensating for linguistic limitations by code-switching, nonverbal forms, synonyms, paying attention, deeply breathing, and asking for clarification. However, activating prior knowledge, self-training language input, self-evaluating speaking performance were less frequently used among many students. For implications, teachers should make students aware of the importance of background knowledge and create more opportunities for students to utilize their prior knowledge in their speaking performance, encourage them to frequently practice their listening skills and pronunciation to improve speech quality, and guide them how to assess their own speaking performance.

Se intenta demostrar el papel de mediadoras culturales que desempeñaron las nodrizas en la crianza de estos infantes. Evidencia, por medio de estudios recientes, el valor científico de la lactancia que sin duda repercutió en la defensa de enfermedades en los siglos coloniales.
Escollos y legados en la aplicación del armisticio de Trujillo en las provincias del sur de Colombia, 1820-1821
Authors: Pita Pico Roger
Published: July 2020

En el marco del Bicentenario de la Independencia de Colombia, este artículo tiene como mira analizar el armisticio de Trujillo firmado en 1820 y observar su implementación en las provincias del sur de Colombia. En medio de un ambiente generalizado de desconfianza e incertidumbre, surgieron inconsistencias en la toma de decisiones y vacíos normativos que generaron dilaciones, no solo en la notificación del acuerdo en cada una de las áreas en disputa, sino también en el proceso de fijación de límites. No obstante, aún con todos los tropiezos registrados, es indudable que el armisticio significó al menos un corto respiro en la frenética y cruda lucha militar; sentó las bases para la regularización de la guerra y les permitió a los republicanos contar con un tiempo valioso mientras el general Simón Bolívar lanzaba la campaña de liberación definitiva de estos territorios.
Petróleo y ciudad en la Patagonia argentina, 1907-1940
Authors: Serrano Besil Javier Eduardo
Published: July 2020

El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar la relación entre industria petrolera y ciudad en la Patagonia argentina desde el descubrimiento del primer yacimiento en 1907 hasta la década del cuarenta. Para ello, se toman como casos de estudio a Comodoro Rivadavia y Plaza Huincul, ciudades que nacieron y crecieron al lado de la explotación. En primer lugar, se caracteriza brevemente el contexto de la Argentina, y la Patagonia en particular, para comprender las razones que llevaron a la estatización de la industria petrolera en el país. A partir de allí, y teniendo como base teórica que cada actividad productiva afecta de forma diferente el espacio, analizaremos el crecimiento demográfico y los cambios en la composición de la población. Por último, enfocamos nuestra atención en la reconfiguración espacial tras la urbanización suscitada por el establecimiento de la industria.

Authors: Bermeo Dagua William
Published: July 2020

En este artículo se presentan los resultados de una investigación que analizó el discurso de la movilización denominada Minga de Resistencia Social y Comunitaria. Un objetivo del estudio, puesto de manifiesto este trabajo, apuntó a identificar y explicar tanto los rasgos contextuales como los de contenido que caracterizan dicho discurso. La investigación fue de carácter cualitativo y de tipo exploratorio e hizo el análisis discursivo de una muestra constituida por 41 documentos, a partir de conceptos y categorías tomadas de los estudios del discurso, pero también con base en otros recuperados de las ciencias sociales. Como técnica de análisis se empleó el análisis de contenido. Respecto al primer tipo de rasgos se encontró que este discurso instituye el género discursivo comunicación política de resistencia, siendo su principal característica la hibridez. Respecto al segundo, se halló que las representaciones sociales expresadas guardan correspondencia con una ideología antineoliberal. Por cuanto solo se examinaron los rasgos específicos de un discurso sociohistóricamente situado, se concluye que dichas características no pueden hacerse coextensivas a cualquier discurso de resistencia en general.
A Conceptual Model for Improving Working Conditions at Selected Public Hospitals in Mpumalanga, South Africa
Authors: Manyisa Zodwa Margaret
Published: July 2020

Employees in public hospitals in South Africa work under dreadful conditions and are at risk of developing psychological stress and occupational diseases as well as occupational injuries. These poor working conditions translate to poor service delivery and as a result, the patients are the ones who suffer the most while under the care of these healthcare professionals. Despite these poor working conditions in public hospitals, there are limited studies that have dealt with this important topic in South Africa. The purpose of this paper was to describe a conceptual model which can be used as a framework of reference to improve the working conditions and the health and safety of employees at selected public hospitals in South Africa. A descriptive, explorative and theory construction research design was used to construct a conceptual model for improving the working conditions in public hospitals in the specific province in South Africa. The model suggests that improvement of working conditions, employee health and safety and quality patient care can only be achieved if employees and managers work interdependently for the betterment of the working conditions of their hospitals. Improvement should focus on enablers such as leadership commitment, infrastructure, resources, safety and security communications, decision-making, interpersonal relationships, support, and education and training. The implication for the managers and employees is that the model can be used as a framework for improving working conditions in hospitals, to promote the health and safety of employees and to improve quality patient care.
Drug Repurposing Commonly Against Dengue Virus Capsid and SARS-CoV-2 Nucleocapsid: An in Silico Approach
Authors: Mukherjee Debica , Roy Rupesh , RAY UPASANA
Published: July 2020

In the middle of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, dengue virus (DENV) is giving a silent warning as the season approaches nearer. There is no specific antiviral against DENV for use in the clinics. Thus, considering these facts we can potentially face both these viruses together increasing the clinical burden. The search for anti-viral drugs against SARS-CoV-2 is in full swing and repurposing of already ‘in-use’ drugs against other diseases or COVID-19 has drawn significant attention. Earlier we had reported few FDA approved anti-viral and anti-microbial drugs that could be tested for binding with SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid N terminal domain. We explored the possibility of interactions of the drugs screened for SARS-CoV2 with Dengue virus capsid protein. We report five FDA approved drugs that were seen to be docking onto the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid RNA binding domain, also docking well with DENV capsid protein on the RNA binding site and/or the capsid’s membrane fusion domain. Thus, the present study proposes these five drugs as common antiviral candidates against both SARS-CoV-2 and DENV although the in silico study is subject to further validations.
A Dual-Fluorophore Sensor Approach for Ratiometric Fluorescence Imaging of Potassium in Living Cells
Authors: Wang Zeming , Detomasi Tyler C. , Chang Christopher
Published: July 2020

Potassium is the most abundant intracellular metal in the body, playing vital roles in regulating intracellular fluid volume, nutrient transport, and cell-to-cell communication through nerve and muscle contraction. On the other hand, aberrant alterations in K+ homeostasis contribute to a diverse array of diseases spanning cardiovascular and neurological disorders to diabetes to kidney disease to cancer. Owing to the large differences in intracellular versus extracellular K+ concentrations ([K+]intra = 150 mM, [K+]extra = 3-5 mM), an unmet need for studies of K+ physiology and pathology remains a relative dearth of methods to reliably measure dynamic changes in intracellular K+ in biological specimens that meet the dual challenges of low affinity and high selectivity for K+, particularly over Na+, as currently available fluorescent K+ sensors are largely optimized with high-affinity receptors that are more amenable for extracellular K+ detection. We report the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of Ratiometric Potassium Sensor 1 (RPS-1), a dual-fluorophore sensor that enables ratiometric fluorescence imaging of intracellular potassium in living systems. RPS-1 links a potassium-responsive fluorescent sensor fragment (PS525) with a low-affinity, high-selectivity crown ether receptor for K+ to a potassium-insensitive reference fluorophore (Coumarin 343) as an internal calibration standard through ester bonds. Upon intracellular delivery, esterase-directed cleavage splits these two dyes into separate fragments to enable ratiometric detection of K+. RPS-1 responds to K+ in aqueous buffer with high selectivity over competing metal ions and is sensitive to potassium ions at steady-state intracellular levels and can respond to decreases or increases from that basal set point. Moreover, RPS-1 was applied for comparative screening of K+ pools across a panel of different cancer cell lines, revealing elevations in basal intracellular K+ in metastatic breast cancer cell lines vs normal breast cells. This work provides a unique chemical tool for the study of intracellular potassium dynamics and a starting point for the design of other ratiometric fluorescent sensors based on two-fluorophore approaches that do not rely on FRET or related energy transfer designs.

Maternal health training priorities for nursing and allied professions in Haiti
Authors: Brandt Amelia J. , Pedroza Julio , Cassiani Silvia H. de Bortoli , Brown Samantha , Silva Fernando A. Menezes da
Published: July 2020

Objectives. This study summarizes the findings of a training needs and priority assessment completed in Haiti. Its objective is to describe the characteristics of nursing and allied professions providing first level maternal health care and identify training needs and priorities to inform planning of Human Resources for Health interventions.

Methods. A cross-sectional survey was completed between October 2016 and March 2017 by the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization Haiti office in collaboration with national health authorities. Participants reached consensus to submit one finalized version of the survey. Data were collected on composition, capacities, and training needs and priorities of traditional birth attendants, community health workers, registered nurses, professional midwives, and auxiliary nurses.

Results. Haiti relies heavily on community level workers including community health workers, auxiliary nurses, and traditional birth attendants. Traditional birth attendants attend the majority of Haiti’s births, despite having low education levels and not being regulated by the Ministry of Public Health and Population. All professional categories prioritize preventive capacities such as timely identification of complications, while none are trained to manage postpartum hemorrhage, preeclampsia, or eclampsia. Management of obstetric emergencies is a training priority for Haiti but is not part of the scope of work of the nursing and allied health professions included in this study.

Conclusions. Community level health workers are key in providing preventive care and referral of complicated pregnancies, but lack of access to providers qualified to treat obstetric complications remains a challenge to reducing maternal mortality.
Approximate T matrix and optical properties of spheroidal particles to third order with respect to size parameter
Authors: Majić MRA , Pratley L , Schebarchov D , Somerville Walter , Auguié Baptiste , Le Ru Eric
Published: July 2020

© 2019 American Physical Society. In electromagnetic scattering, the so-called T matrix encompasses the optical response of a scatterer for any incident excitation and is most commonly defined using the basis of multipolar fields. It can therefore be viewed as a generalization of the concept of polarizability of the scatterer. We calculate here the series expansion of the T matrix for a spheroidal particle in the small-size, long-wavelength limit, up to third lowest order with respect to the size parameter, X, which we will define rigorously for a nonspherical particle. T is calculated from the standard extended boundary condition method with a linear system involving two infinite matrices P and Q, whose matrix elements are integrals on the particle surface. We show that the limiting form of the P and Q matrices, which is different in the special case of spheroid, ensures that this Taylor expansion can be obtained by considering only multipoles of order 3 or less (i.e., dipoles, quadrupoles, and octupoles). This allows us to obtain self-contained expressions for the Taylor expansion of T(X). The lowest order is O(X3) and equivalent to the quasistatic limit or Rayleigh approximation. Expressions to order O(X5) are obtained by Taylor expansion of the integrals in P and Q followed by matrix inversion. We then apply a radiative correction scheme, which makes the resulting expressions valid up to order O(X6). Orientation-averaged extinction, scattering, and absorption cross sections are then derived. All results are compared to the exact T-matrix predictions to confirm the validity of our expressions and assess their range of applicability. For a wavelength of 400 nm, the new approximation remains valid (within 1% error) up to particle dimensions of the order of 100-200 nm depending on the exact parameters (aspect ratio and material). These results provide a relatively simple and computationally friendly alternative to the standard T-matrix method for spheroidal particles smaller than the wavelength, in a size range much larger than for the commonly used Rayleigh approximation.
Combined extinction and absorption UV–vis spectroscopy reveals shape imperfections of metallic nanoparticles
Authors: Grand Johan , Auguié Baptiste , Le Ru Eric
Published: July 2020

Copyright © 2019 American Chemical Society. Metallic nanoparticle solutions are routinely characterized by measuring their extinction spectrum (with UV-vis spectroscopy). Theoretical predictions such as Mie theory for spheres can then be used to infer important properties, such as particle size and concentration. Here we highlight the benefits of measuring not only the extinction (the sum of absorption and scattering) but also the absorption spectrum (which excludes scattering) for routine characterization of metallic nanoparticles. We use an integrating sphere-based method to measure the combined extinction-absorption spectra of silver nanospheres and nanocubes. Using a suite of electromagnetic modeling tools (Mie theory, T-matrix, surface integral equation methods), we show that the absorption spectrum, in contrast to extinction, is particularly sensitive to shape imperfections such as roughness, faceting, or edge rounding. We study in detail the canonical case of silver nanospheres, where small discrepancies between experimental and calculated extinction spectra are still common and often overlooked. We show that this mismatch between theory and experiment becomes much more important when considering the absorption spectrum and can no longer be dismissed as experimental imperfections. We focus in particular on the quadrupolar localized plasmon resonance of silver nanospheres, which is predicted to be very prominent in the absorption spectrum but is not observed in our experiments. We consider and discuss a number of possible explanations to account for this discrepancy, including changes in the dielectric function of Ag, size polydispersity, and shape imperfections such as elongation, faceting, and roughness. We are able to pinpoint faceting and roughness as the likely causes for the observed discrepancy. A similar analysis is carried out on silver nanocubes to demonstrate the generality of this conclusion. We conclude that the absorption spectrum is in general much more sensitive to the fine details of a nanoparticle geometry, compared to the extinction spectrum. The ratio of extinction to absorption also provides a sensitive indicator of size for many types of nanoparticles, much more reliably than any observed plasmon resonance shifts. Overall, this work demonstrates that combined absorption-extinction measurements provide a much richer characterization tool for metallic nanoparticles.

Pomara in London, 1846
Authors: Skinner Robin
Published: July 2020

Pomara in London, 1846
'The Spectator' declared it to be "the most interesting exhibition of the season." For three months in the London summer of 1846, George French Angas exhibited watercolours and artefacts of New Zealand and South Australia, providing many Europeans with their first detailed exposure to representations of Māori and their material culture. Exhibits of portraits of Māori, and images of pā, as well as examples of weapons, carvings, canoe models, birds and minerals caused many to reassess the disparaging view of Māori that the New Zealand Company had been putting about.
However, the greatest contributor to the exhibition’s outstanding success was the striking presence of a young Māori man named Hemi Pomara, or Pōmare, who attended the show each afternoon. He was described as "the orphaned son of a Chatham Islands chief." In 1844 Pōmare travelled with Angas to Sydney, and then to London. Meeting royalty, members of the nobility and learned society, his intelligence and arresting countenance made an exceptional impression of those who met him. His likeness was published in a magazine and he became the subject of a poem.
After the exhibition, things did not go so well. Following the exhibition Pōmare found work in shipping; however, the special status which he received in London did not continue. At sea, he was physically assaulted, returning to Sydney in 1847, and then on to New Zealand. This paper discusses Pōmare’s time abroad and his impact on the Europeans.

Living with Nature: Tiaki Taiao, Tiaki Tngata, The case of Zealandia
Authors: Hatton W , Marques Bruno , McIntosh Jacqueline
Published: July 2020

Copyright © NCEUB 2017. The overpopulating growth attendant with high-density urban living has stressed natural landscapes in most major urban centres, devastating their rich indigenous ecologies. In the case of New Zealand, the mid-19th century colonisation saw the introduction of predators and aggressive plant species, significantly scarring and reshaping the landscape. This also devastated New Zealand's endemic ecologies, resulting in the extinction of species and loss of biodiversity. In the last 800 years, 32% of all indigenous flora and fauna have been lost. In an attempt to protect those last remaining and threatened species, a fenced sanctuary was developed in the capital city, Wellington, taking advantage of an unutilised water reservoir system that had been established inadvertently on a major earthquake fault-line. Twenty years from its inception, the unbroken predator-free ecosystem nestled amongst Wellington's suburbs and scrublands has become a world-first to restore indigenous natural habitat, illustrating our past native natural heritage. This paper examines the phenomenon of Zealandia, where green and blue infrastructures foster the existing ecologies while accommodating visitor services, which improve the social, cultural, economic and environmental health of the city. It finds that the benefits have far exceeded the original goals of the project and offer new prospects for health and wellbeing as its influence extends to network adjacent green and blue infrastructure.

WRMSDs has increased since 2000, there has been limited workplace
action in reducing exposure to hazards. A life course
approach is needed as individuals of all ages are reporting MSK
problems. How people work has also changed and informalisation
of work contracts has increased with a perceived concurrent
reduction in occupational safety and health (OSH) protection.
Retaining people at work with MSK problems requires compliance
with relevant safety, health and diversity legislation and a risk
management approach. Good and open communication within the
workplace and identification of other sources of support is also necessary. Considerations must be made at the individual level
(internal motivation), organisational level (a supportive manager)
and self-management of symptoms. Simple case examples are
provided in the paper of what works in practice as well as a proposed
research agenda. Increased awareness at all levels of society
of MSK health is essential.

Sports Monitoring with Moving Aerial Cameras Maybe Cost Efficient For Injury Prevention
Authors: Hilton Deborah Joy
Published: July 2020

Objectives: An Australian access economics report (2009) estimated the lifetime cost of care is 5.0 million for a person whom suffers paraplegia and 9.5 million for quadriplegia, and costs/year are approximately $90,000. Hilton )2018( on drones at sporting venues discusses their potential to revolutionize injury surveillance monitoring via expert exposure gained for recording, investigation, tracking and monitoring of sporting injuries. Hilton (2018) reviewed rugby union and league Australian spinal cord injury datasets, finding more incident cases in the union then league [1]. Methods/Analysis: Wikipedia reports 20 professional rugby union and 26 rugby league playing fields in Australia. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare document; Australian sports injury hospitalizations 2011–12 report just under 800 head and neck injuries requiring hospitalization related to rugby-related sports “35 neck fractures and 348 head fractures”. Brisbane’s leading drone aerial photography service “Droneworxs” according to previous enquiries by the author charge $650/hour to monitor a sporting event. A crude drone implementation cost estimate, hypothetically is to utilize this device across 46 professional clubs X 52 weeks one hour/week = $1,554,800. A basic hypothetical mathematical cost benefit comparison was performed. Findings: Droneworxs cost divided by healthcare costs/case/year ($90,000) = 17 so if these injuries are prevented then cost equivalence is reached figurately speaking, then cost benefits accrue. Novelty /Improvement: Drones are not overly expensive compared to spinal cord injury costs. The occasional presence of aerial cameras at sporting venues may also deter repeated foul play, in the same way that webcam cameras deter potential thieves.
