Published: April 2024

The DR (digital radiography) images may be obscured due to noise interference, improper exposure, and the excessive thickness of human tissues, resulting in indistinct edges and reduced contrast. An image-enhancement algorithm based on wavelet multiscale decomposition is proposed to address the shortcomings of existing single-scale image-enhancement algorithms. The proposed algorithm is taking advantage of the interpolation, smoothness and normalization properties. Next a multiscale interpolation wavelet operator is constructed to divide the image into several sub-images from high frequency to low frequency, and to perform different multi-scale wavelet transforms on the detailed image of each channel. So that the most subtle and diagnostically useful information in the image can be effectively enhanced. Moreover, the image will not be over-enhanced and combined with the high contrast sensitivity of the human eye’s visual system in smooth regions, different attenuation coefficients are used for different regions to achieve the purpose of suppressing noise while enhancing details.

Published: April 2024

The rice husk is an agricultural waste which is obtained from milling process of paddy and approximately 22% of the weight of paddy is rice husk. The waste is used as fuel in producing stream in parboiling process. The 25 % the weight of husk is converted into ash which is known as rice husk ash (RHA) and is again a waste which is disposed. This ash consists of amorphous silica which can be used as pozzolana in making concrete and cement instead of disposing it without compromising on the properties of cement or concrete if replaced in specific proportion with other constituents of cement or concrete. In this study the ordinary Portland cement is replaced in different proportion with RHA to obtain concrete with comparable and satisfactory strength and properties to that of normal concrete. The proportions of replacement chosen are at 2.5% interval starting from 5 % to 15 % and the casted concrete were tested under compression at different ages and results obtained are compared with normal concrete of same grade and it is concluded that the results are comparable

Authors: Alshadadi Mohammed , Deshmukh P. V. , Zaid Mohammed Abdulrahman Kaid
Published: April 2024

This paper aims to identify the relationship between macroeconomic factors that could be potential sources of concern for the banking sector in Saudi Arabia. To achieve this, the ARDL cointegration approach was used in light of economic theory and the literature. Oil prices, interest rates, inflation, government spending, and GDP were identified as independent variables. The results showed a significant positive impact of oil prices and GDP on the performance of Saudi banks, while the performance of banks is negatively affected by interest rates and government spending. The study revealed that the most important determinants of bank performance are oil prices and interest rates. Therefore, this study suggests that banks should link and manage their loan portfolio in proportion to oil price shocks.

Protocol: Systematic literature review on innovation competence in the service innovation process focused on patient experience
Authors: Gómez-Caballero Rosa Milena
Published: April 2024

Innovation in services is a necessary requirement to improve the competitiveness of organizations, espe-cially in a globally growing sector like healthcare. However, it is a complex process since services are intangible and co-created with users and other actors who interact through different roles, interests, and capabilities. Additionally, the outcome of the innovation process is expected to be a new or improved ex-perience for the patient and their family, as it is a key indicator in healthcare systems that determines user satisfaction and service quality.
Many studies suggest the application of approaches and tools to innovate in services, but the literature is scarce in linking the innovation process with patient experience and individuals' skills to achieve successful innovation outcomes. This literature review aims to identify the relationship between three theoretical con-structs: the service innovation process, innovation competence, and patient experience, which will establish a theoretical framework for understanding the innovation competence of those involved in the healthcare service innovation process to contribute to collaborative work among ecosystem actors.
This article presents the protocol for the systematic literature review considering previous works related to process improvement in the healthcare sector, attempting to address questions related to research topics and considering future lines outlined in previous reviews. The methodological design of this systematic review is based on recommendations made by authors in the healthcare field, and the recommendations of the PRISMA 2020 statement were also followed.

Objectives: To determine the proportion of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among individuals with diabetes mellitus in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Methods: This study was executed in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines. Online databases including Scopus, Web of Sciences, PubMed, Index Medicus for the eastern Mediterranean region, Medline, and ProQuest, were utilized to retrieve studies on the prevalence of DR in GCC countries that were conducted from 2003 to 2019. Results: Twenty articles were included in the meta-analysis, involving 61 855 patients. The prevalence of DR was 20.5% (95% CI: 20.212–20.850). The highest prevalence rate was observed in Saudi Arabia (69.8%; 95% CI: 64.989–74.216) and the lowest in the UAE (6.0%; 95% CI: 2.780–11.084). There was a significant heterogeneity between the reviewed studies (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The prevalence of DR was high in the GCC countries. Our findings provide crucial information for the public healthcare systems in these countries to actively educate the public and screen at-risk populations for undiagnosed cases of diabetes, detect early stages of retinopathy, and provide required care to minimize the number of untreated cases.

Authors: West Debra Gershov , Alpert Evan Avraham , Braitberg George
Published: April 2024

On October 7, 2023, over 2,500 Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel from Gaza and killed over 1,400 people and injured 2,800, resulting in the largest terrorist attack in Israel’s history. Several models describe the principles of managing a mass casualty event. One of them is an Australian construct known as the six C’s. While command, control, and coordination are familiar concepts, the six C’s emphasize the importance of communication and community (consequences and community connection). We describe how two emergency departments in Israel—Assuta Ashdod and the Hadassah Medical Center-Ein Kerem—responded to this disaster in the context of the six C’s.
Terrorist attacks against healthcare facilities involving hostages
Authors: Macy Reed , Jasani Greg , Alfalasi Reem , Cavaliere Garrett , Lawner Benjamin J.
Published: April 2024

Introduction: The incidence of terrorist attacks against healthcare facilities has been increasing over recent years. In addition to direct attacks on physical structures, many attacks have involved taking hostages. Hospital and healthcare facilities remain historically underprepared for terrorist attacks, representing vulnerable locations. Yet, studies examining the frequency and reach of hostage-taking incidents within healthcare facilities are limited.

Methods: A search of the Global Terrorism Database was performed. A total of 191,465 terrorist attacks were identified. The database search was narrowed down to healthcare-related terrorist attacks (2,322) and then manually analyzed to only include those incidents which involved hospitals and hostage-taking (64).

Results: Sixty-four attacks against hospitals involving hostage-taking were identified. A total of 91 victims were injured in these attacks, and 47 were killed. The attacks affected a total of 23 countries worldwide, conducted largely by unidentified terrorist organizations, with approximately half involving firearms. Discussion: This study shows that terrorist attacks against healthcare facilities that involve hostage-taking have increased in frequency over the past 10 years and have global reach. Systems may still be underprepared for this potentially increasing phenomenon and require preparedness plans with education and simulated practice in place. Healthcare facilities should consider mitigation strategies such as preparedness drills and additional education.

Published: April 2024

Zambia grapples with the pervasive issue of gender inequality, despite its commitment to global and regional gender agreements and the implementation of legal, policy, and institutional frameworks, including the adoption of gender mainstreaming concepts. This qualitative study employs a case study design to investigate gender inequalities within the nursing profession. Findings reveal persistent gender disparities, echoing similar conclusions drawn by Keddie (2022) that mere representation and key metrics are insufficient for achieving gender equality. Recommendations are made for the Ministry of Health Department of Nursing Services, the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Zambia (NMCZ), and the Zambia Union of Nurses Organization (ZUNO) to go beyond token inclusion of males in nursing training, emphasize career counseling in secondary schools to promote a positive perception of nursing, counter negative public perceptions, and address various professional development barriers hindering minority participation, such as males.

Published: April 2024

Adequate dysphagia awareness among health professionals is vital to facilitate collaborative dysphagia management. However, there are concerns that in many countries, many health professionals have low or moderate dysphagia awareness. In this descriptive, cross-sectional study, we assessed the identification levels on risk factors of oropharyngeal dysphagia among health professionals attending to adult inpatients in the acute-care facility of a level-six hospital in Kenya. The sample comprised 16 professionals from six specialties: neurologists, oncologists, nurses, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and speech-language therapists. We measured their risk factor identification levels using a previously validated nine-item questionnaire. Frequencies, percentages, and means were used to identify key patterns in participants’ risk factor identification levels, while the independent samples t-test and one-way ANOVA were used to establish cross-sectional differences in identification levels based on selected demographic and general characteristics. The mean risk factor identification score was 73.6% (SD = 17.14). There were significant differences in identification scores due to age (F = 4.67, p = .030), educational attainment (F = 5.94, p = .015), experience (F = 5.34, p = .020), and specialization (F = 5.06, p = .024). Mean comparisons showed that identification levels increased with educational attainment and were highest among participants in the category comprising oncologists, nutritionists, and speech therapists. From the findings, we concluded that health professionals in the facility have, on average, moderate OPD risk factor awareness and that increased educational attainment may enhance OPD awareness.
Towards the authentication of urban pattern through fractal analysis: the case of Blida, Algeria
Authors: Bellala Amel , Dahmani Krimo
Published: April 2024

This paper discusses the use of fractals to identify and analyze the historical values of an urban fabric. The proposed fractal analysis is a novel contribution to valorize a historical fabric as urban heritage. The research focuses on the historical core of Blida, Algeria, and concerns the development of its built fabric over three centuries. The aim is to compare morphological parameters, frequently used to evaluate the fractal dimension of built surfaces, to determine the fabric’s authenticity based on the calculated spatial variations. The findings indicate that the fractal dimension effectively distinguishes Blida’s historical core fabric. Fractal analysis is demonstrated to be a promising tool in this study for describing the form of historical fabrics as well as studying intra- urban genesis and simulation for use as an urban identification tool.
What do we know about urban form?
Authors: Oliveira Vitor
Published: April 2024

This paper gathers fundamental ideas on urban form conceived after the mid-twentieth century. It does not aim to offer a comprehensive literature review or a general theory of urban morphology. The paper’s contribution to debate is the construction of a coherent narrative, gathering different concepts and methods (collected from a growing body of literature of varied relevance) as fundamental parts of a body of knowledge for systematic description, explanation and prescription of the physical form of human settlements. At the beginning of this narrative there is a general morphological framework proposed by M.R.G. Conzen in the mid- twentieth century (section 1). The structural nature of this framework enables insights from within (section 2) and outside the field (section 3), as well as a link into action on the urban landscape (section 4).
Evolving suburbs: measuring US subdivision street patterns over time
Authors: Amos Dave
Published: April 2024

Street patterns in the United States have changed through time, evolving from a gridiron pattern to one dominated by culs- de- sac and loops by the 1950s. This change has made cities less convenient for pedestrians and cyclists to traverse. This research uses computational GIS techniques to analyze street pattern characteristics at the subdivision level to determine whether this trend toward disconnected street networks has continued over the past 70 years. Results show that the densities of three- and four- way intersections have increased in recent decades, though connectivity between subdivisions has not. Active transportation users may find their immediate neighbourhood more walkable, but remain unable to commute comfortably using those modes. This research also identifies representative subdivisions from Wake County, North Carolina that best reflect this change toward increased intersection density and smaller blocks. The small numbers of entrances to subdivisions have remained largely unchanged for decades. This is identified as a crucial challenge facing suburban street network design for pedestrians and cyclists. Overall, the differences between subdivision street network design in the 1950s and the 2010s is noticeable.
