Tabatières, éventails et lorgnettes : objets de consommation et « techniques du social » au xviiie siècle
Authors: Bernasconi Gianenrico
Published: July 2022

Tabatières, éventails et lorgnettes sont connus en Europe déjà au xvie et xviie siècle. Ils ne se diffusent pourtant auprès d’un public plus vaste qu’au cours du xviiie siècle comme produits du marché du demi-luxe. Ces accessoires sont des « documents matériels » de l’histoire sociale de la fin de l’Ancien Régime. Ils confirment l’intérêt de l’étude de la « culture de l’apparence » pour l’exploration des tensions entre différents groupes sociaux au sujet des signes de la distinction. Ces objets, en tant que dispositifs matériels, configurent des nouvelles formes d’interaction sociale à la fin de l’Ancien Régime. Les gestes nécessaires à leur manipulation socialisent des nouvelles pratiques, illustrant l’importance croissante de la consommation pour la configuration des comportements sociaux. La présence de l’iconographie révolutionnaire sur ces accessoires, agissant dans ce cas comme des média de l’opinion politique, confirme leur importance pour la construction sociale de l’individu à la fin du xviiie siècle.
Spaces of movement and meditation: Franciscan choirs in Ireland
Authors: Krasnodębska-D’Aughton Małgorzata , Lafaye Anne-Julie
Published: July 2022

From the time of their arrival in Ireland in 1224 and until the dissolution of monasteries in the 1540s, mendicant orders enjoyed sustained success in the cities and boroughs of the country, and in its more rural and remote regions. The Franciscan order was the most prolific of mendicant orders in Ireland, both in the first few decades of their arrival and during their Observant revival in the fifteenth century. The surviving remains of their friaries offer architectural historians, art historians and archaeologists a unique opportunity to observe the material realisation of Franciscan ideals and their attitudes to the use of space, as well as tackling questions about architecture, decoration and the spatial division of these friaries. This chapter discusses the position of a choir in Irish Franciscan churches, focusing on how the choir was related to the general division and organisation of ecclesiastical space, and how the choir expressed Franciscan ideals, both materially and symbolically.
Étude archéologique du chœur d’une église mendiante
Authors: Roger Amélie
Published: July 2022

En 2014-2015, l’église Saint-Maurice d’Annecy en Haute-Savoie a été l’objet d’une vaste campagne de restauration. Cet édifice du XVe siècle, église de l’ancien couvent dominicain, est le plus ancien bâtiment religieux conservé dans la ville. La restauration a permis de mener une enquête archéologique. Celle-ci a mis en évidence plusieurs états du chœur liturgique. Le premier se caractérise par l’absence de structure visible entre la nef et le chœur, le chevet ne présentant qu’un couvrement temporaire, sans doute en bois. Le second état du chœur, antérieur au milieu du XVIe siècle, accueille en revanche un imposant jubé, avec un passage central, et un chevet voûté. L’ouverture centrale du jubé était certainement utilisée pour les processions, impliquant ainsi un déplacement des religieux vers la nef, plutôt que des fidèles vers le sanctuaire. Pourtant, ces derniers n’étaient pas totalement exclus du chevet, comme le montre l’installation de caveaux. Enfin, le dernier état du chœur (si l’on exclut les modifications contemporaines) correspond à une réalité post-révolutionnaire dont les Dominicains ne font plus partie. Le jubé est déposé, et certains éléments décoratifs sont remployés dans les fondations d’un nouvel autel.
« Ecco disperse tutte le memorie dell’Antichità ! »
Authors: Morvan Haude
Published: July 2022

L’ordre des frères prêcheurs s’est caractérisé dès le XIIIe siècle par une utilisation de l’écrit massive, centralisée et normée pour régir tous les aspects de la vie des couvents, notamment les aménagements liturgiques. Le chœur des frères devait ainsi être placé devant l’autel majeur et séparé de la nef par un jubé, lui-même surmonté d’un crucifix. Au cours de la Renaissance, cette organisation fut bouleversée dans de nombreuses églises italiennes de l’ordre : les jubés furent souvent supprimés, et les stalles basculées derrière l’autel majeur. La chronologie et les motivations de ces modifications, encore peu étudiées, sont notamment documentées par les travaux d’érudition réalisés à l’intérieur de l’ordre aux XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles. Pour nourrir un projet de rédaction d’annales générales de l’ordre, les maîtres généraux demandèrent à chaque couvent d’envoyer à Rome un mémoire sur son histoire. Parallèlement, des mémoires similaires étaient également rédigés dans certains couvents pour être conservés localement, afin de transmettre la mémoire de la communauté. L’histoire des aménagements liturgiques est fréquemment documentée dans ces travaux, à des titres divers. Parfois, le frère en charge du mémoire montre un intérêt pour la liturgie et pour sa spatialisation, allant même jusqu’à restituer la position du chœur dans le passé à l’aide de sources conservées dans les archives du couvent (notamment les nécrologes). Dans d’autres cas, comme à Lyon avec les travaux du Père Ramette, c’est la volonté de conserver une description de l’existant avant une reconstruction qui motive un relevé précis du bâti et de son aménagement. Ailleurs encore, sous la plume de frères plus férus de miracles et d’anecdotes que de philologie et d’histoire, des informations sur l’organisation de l’espace ecclésial apparaissent au détour d’un récit de miracle mettant en scène des images ou des reliques placées dans le chœur.
«Estavan todas no coro e ben cantand’ e leendo»
Authors: Pérez Vidal Mercedes
Published: July 2022

Il capitolo propone uno studio sulla disposizione e funzione dei cori nei monasteri delle domenicane in Castiglia. La diversità di soluzioni adottate nella collocazione del coro in questi monasteri, finora ignota, permette un paragone con altri contesti – fondamentalmente quello italiano e quello tedesco – e con altri ordini, per evidenziare analogie ma anche alcune specificità del contesto castigliano. A determinare le diverse tipologie corali non furono soltanto l’osservanza della clausura – non di rado poco rispettata – e la devozione al Corpus Domini, ma anche lo sviluppo di particolari liturgie e paraliturgie strettamente legate alla costruzione della memoria monastica, e infine la volontà dei fondatori.
Le chœur des Cordelières de la rue de Lourcine, à Paris
Authors: Volti Panayota
Published: July 2022

Placé depuis sa fondation dans l’orbite de la protection royale et princière, le couvent des Clarisses de Lourcine, près de Paris, a réservé au chœur des religieuses un traitement particulier. Même si son emplacement n’est pas inhabituel, l’articulation de cet espace avec les autres composantes majeures de l’édifice cultuel (et du cloître) et son interférence visuelle avec le décor signifiant de l’église conféraient au chœur des sœurs une valeur à la fois symbolique et sacrée, qui rejaillissait aussi sur celles qui l’investissaient. Le couvent des Clarisses ayant disparu, pour retracer l’histoire tout comme l’agencement architectural et décoratif des différents bâtiments, en l’occurrence du chœur des sœurs, il est indispensable d’avoir recours aux sources aussi bien écrites qu’iconographiques : les archives conventuelles conservées notamment aux Archives Nationales, les récits historiques et les évocations et dessins pittoresques des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, mais aussi les descriptions systématiques, quoique parfois sommaires, des commissaires révolutionnaires. L’établissement d’analogies avec d’autres couvents mendiants permet également de compléter la reconstitution et l’interprétation de cet espace, à plus d’un titre significatif.

Published: July 2022

Online payment has mainly relied since 2008 on having a rechargeable cash card that remains the most popular form of payment for e-commerce transactions. Using this card is not without risks because of its sensitivity and buying online is practical and fast yet it can be a risk when we do not know the sellers or their websites well and one of these risks is fraud, which causes great financial losses where the card holder's information is stolen and used illegally without the physical presence of the card by fraudsters who impersonate trusted institutions to steal personal or financial information via a tainted link. Most of the fraud detection systems have also shown their inability to fully detect fraudulent cards every time and repeat false alarms. In this paper one of the complex techniques known as deep learning has been used especially LSTM variant of the RNN to classify credit cards. Unlike traditional classifiers this technique is distinguished by its ability to learn. Concerning the classification by LSTM a set of information about the card is taken including time and amount.

Published: July 2022

The study aims to examine factors that influence the adoption-diffusion process of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) across manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, and transportation industries in India. As part of this study, eleven constructs that influence the adoption-diffusion stages of AI in SCRM were identified and examined. A survey was conducted to collect data from supply chain executives, risk professionals, and AI consultants across the manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, and transportation industries in India. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to study the data. Results show that these factors have varying degrees of influence and direction on the three stages of adoption of AI in SCRM. The study will enable the leadership team in the organizations to build a roadmap for the adoption, implementation, and routinization of AI in SCRM.
Ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block versus wound infiltration for both acute and chronic post-caesarean pain management – A randomised controlled trial
Authors: Chilkoti Geetanjali T , Gaur Diksha , Saxena Ashok K , Gupta Anju , Agarwal Rachna , Jain Sapna
Published: July 2022

Background and Aims:

Ultrasound-guided transversalis fascia plane block (USG-guided TFPB) has recently been evaluated for post-caesarean acute pain management. We compared it with standard wound infiltration for both acute and chronic post-caesarean pain management.

Methods:

All patients undergoing caesarean section (CS) under subarachnoid block were included and randomised. Patients in group C received standard wound infiltration (20 ml of 0.375% ropivacaine) and group-T received bilateral USG-guided TFPB (20 ml of 0.375% ropivacaine) at the end of the surgery. Acute pain assessed using numeric rating scale (NRS), time to first request of analgesia and total rescue analgesic consumption in 24 hours. The incidence of chronic persistent post-surgical pain (CPSP), neuropathic pain component and quality of life (QoL) were assessed. Fisher’s exact test, Chi-square test, unpaired Student’s t-test and Mann-Whitney U test were used.

Results:

Sixty patients were included with 30 in each group. NRS score on rest at 6th and 24th hour and on active movement at 1st hour was significantly decreased in group T. The “time to first request of analgesia” was statistically higher in group T, that is, 10.77 ± 1.39 h versus 6.30 ± 1.60 h. Five (16.6%) and two (6.6%) patients in groups C and T, respectively, required rescue analgesia in first 24 hours. 30% (n = 6) and 10% (n = 2) patients in groups C and T, respectively, developed CPSP. The neuropathic pain component was significantly reduced and QoL was significantly improved in group T.

Conclusion:

TFPB is efficacious for management of both acute and chronic post-caesarean pain management.
Evaluation of clinical trials done for orphan drugs versus nonorphan drugs in infectious diseasesan eleven year analysis [2010-2020]
Authors: Kudyar Palvi , Konwar Mahanjit , Khatri Zoya , Gogtay Nithya Jaideep , Thatte Urmila Mukund
Published: July 2022

Background:

The 1983 US Orphan Drug Act provided impetus for the development of new therapies for rare diseases. Several studies focused on the number of orphan designations over time. However, very few focused on clinical trials that lead to their approval, particularly for infectious diseases.

Materials and Methods:

All new drug approvals (orphan and non-orphan) by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from January 2010 to December 31, 2020, were identified and details of approvals were taken from the US-FDA labels and summary reports for each drug. The pivotal trials for each were characterized based on their design. We tested the association of the type of drug approval with respect to the characteristics of trial using Chi-square test and generated crude odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals.

Results:

From the total 1122 drugs approved, 84 were for infectious diseases, of which 18 were orphan drugs and 66 were nonorphan. A total of 35 pivotal trials supported 18 orphan drug approvals, while 115 pivotal trials supported 66 nonorphan drugs. The median number of participants enrolled/trial for orphan drugs was 89, while for nonorphan drugs, it was 452 (P < 0.0001). Blinding was done for 13/35 (37%) orphan drugs versus 69/115 (60%) nonorphan drugs (P = 0.029); randomization was done for 15/35 (42%) orphan drugs versus 100/115 (87%) nonorphan drugs (P < 0.0001) and 20/35 (57%) of the orphan drugs got approval in phase II versus 8/115 (6%) of nonorphan drugs (P < 0.00001).

Conclusion:

A significant number of orphan drugs get approval based on early phase, nonrandomized, and unblinded with a smaller sample size as compared to nonorphan drugs.
Clinical presentation, etiological factors, and outcome in children diagnosed with urolithiasis in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh
Authors: Vind Sanjeev , Agarwal Veenu , Agarwal K. C.
Published: July 2022

Background:

Children with urolithiasis (UL) are often encountered in general pediatric practice. Its rising incidence, high recurrence rate, serious long-term consequences, and paucity of data on pediatric UL led to the present research work. Recurrence usually remains unaltered unless dietary restrictions are followed stringently, so the emphasis in the present research was on the analysis of the diet consumed by participants.

Materials and Methods:

Children with UL were enrolled from the general pediatrics outpatient department of an urban hospital over 22 months in a prospective study. Data were collected on clinical profile, 24 h dietary details, blood and urine investigations, and ultrasound (USG) abdomen. Attempts were made to get basic metabolic work-up in as many children as possible.

Results:

Abdominal pain alone or with symptoms of urinary tract infection (UTI) was found in 40 (83.3%) and 22 (45.8%) participants. Important etiological associations found were UTI (30, 62.7%), positive family history of UL (22, 45.8%), and obesity (5, 10.4%). Idiopathic hypercalciuria, hyperuricosuria, and hyperoxaluria were found in 9 (18.7%), 2 (4.2%), and 12 (25%) participants. Daily intake of liquids and calcium was low in 38 (79%) and 35 (72.9%) children, respectively. Intake of both salt and proteins was high in 30 (62.5%) children. The persistence of symptoms was found in 28 (58.3%) participants. Recurrence was found in 7 (14.5%) participants.

Conclusion:

Having a high index of suspicion of UL in all children presenting with recurrent unexplained UTI and/or recurrent abdominal pain and advocating USG abdomen early in such children can aid in the timely diagnosis of UL. Simple dietary manipulations such as adequate daily fluid and calcium intake along with avoiding high salt and animal protein diet may be beneficial by decreasing the recurrence rate of UL.
World health organization surgical safety checklist of all OT cases
Authors: Dugga Iftikhar Ahmed , Jha Madan Mohan , Khan Nida , Gupta Shalabh , Bhagat Tripta S.
Published: July 2022

Background:

The available literature shows that approximately 75 million patients are experiencing postoperative complications that lead to about 2 million deaths every year. Thereby, there is an immense need to take care of all safety precautions for the surgery listed by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Aim and Objectives:

The aim is (1) To study the impact of the implementation of a surgical safety checklist on patient safety. (2) To study the compliance of the surgical team to the implementation of a surgical safety checklist following an education program.

Materials and Methods:

The present study is a prospective randomized controlled study conducted at Santosh Medical College and Hospital, Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh). The study was conducted from December 2019 to November 2020.

Results:

More than half of the standards were above 50% implemented in the operation theaters. Of the standards of before skin incisions, above 50% of them were not implemented. However, of the implemented standards, >75% were followed. In addition, the standards of before any member of the team left the operating room, above 75% of them were appropriately implemented in our setup.

Conclusion:

We conclude that the use of the WHO checklist prevents complications and reduces the inhospital length of stay, changes in morbidity, and potentially mortality as well across a wide range of patients undergoing simple or complex surgical procedures in hospitals within a well-developed and funded health-care system.
Omicron and its implications in dentistry
Authors: Kulshreshtha Palak , Ahluwalia Rajiv , Chugh Tina
Published: July 2022

Due to its contagiousness and vaccine-escape mutations, the latest severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant Omicron (B.1.1.529) has sparked worldwide fear. The SARS-CoV-2 variant's critical infectivity and antibody resistance are determined by mutations in the Spike (S) protein receptor-binding domain (RBD). A comprehensive experimental study of Omicron, on the other hand, could take weeks or even months. For a hygienic and healthy work environment and treatment modality, we propose a standard operating protocol and protocols that all dental practitioners and staff should adhere to.

Published: July 2022

Breast cancer contributes significantly to maternal mortality particularly in resource-poor settings with inadequate health infrastructure. Evaluation of haematological parameters is reliable for both diagnosis and monitoring of diseases. Thus, the present study was designed to investigate changes in packed cell volume (PCV), haemoglobin concentration (Hb), total and differential white cell counts as well as platelet count of breast cancer patients on treatment in Calabar, South- South, Nigeria. The study was conducted in University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar. It included 36 cases of pathologically diagnosed breast cancer (BC) female patients as well as 30 apparently healthy females drawn from the general population who served as control group. Ethical considerations and protocols were observed. Haematological parameters were analyzed on venous blood collected from each participant using the Sysmex KX-21N™ automated haematology analyzer system. Data analysis was carried on SPSS version 22.0 using students t-test and Pearson's correlation. A p-value of ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Haemoglobin concentration and packed cell volume mean values of Breast Cancer patients were significantly lower (p = 0.001) compared to values from control subjects. Similarly, Breast Cancer patients had significantly lower values of the total white blood cell count as well as absolute neutrophil and lymphocyte counts compared to control subjects (p = 0.001, p = 0.002 and p = 0.007 respectively). as relative leucopenia among breast cancer patients on treatment.

A first characterization of the distribution and composition of benthic and demersal macro- and megafauna was derived based on video records sampled along five pre-determined transects up the slope on the western, northern and eastern sides of the Saya de Malha Bank on the Mascarene Plateau, starting at a maximum depth of 1000 m. Abundance was highest in the upper parts of eastern slope locations, primarily reflecting a relatively higher abundance of black corals (Antipatharia) than in other locations. A consistent feature of several transects, but most prominent in eastern and northern slopes, was the occurrence of patchy coral and sponge aggregations along the margin where the substrate was mostly hard. In some cases, these aggregations might be considered ‘gardens’ but reefs were not observed. Higher-level taxonomical composition of the fauna is presented. Demersal fish were widespread but not abundant, and within the depth range studied, there was a transition from a marginal shallow fish assemblage to a deepwater assemblage. Fishes were in most cases only assigned to family level, and 49 families were recorded. To thoroughly assess the biodiversity and abundance of fauna of the slopes of Saya de Malha Bank, further studies conducting more detailed video transects and sampling of specimens are warranted.

Published: July 2022

The distribution of nutrients in the Mascarene Plateau is poorly studied due to limited data collected in the region. This study investigated the distribution of nutrients in the water column of the Saya de Malha and eastern slope of the Nazareth Banks. Water samples were collected at the Saya de Malha and eastern slope of Nazareth Banks during the scientific expedition on board the R/V Fridtjof Nansen in May 2018 and the vertical profiles of physical parameters were used to identify the different water masses. Phosphate, nitrate and silicate showed typical nutrient profiles along with the nutriclines. The dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll-a showed a correlation with nutrients. Most of the sampling stations on the Saya de Malha and Nazareth Banks showed high oxygen saturation above 92 % in the upper 75 m. Low chlorophyll-a values were recorded at both banks indicating an oligotrophic system. The nutrient results also reveal an increase in the concentration towards the northern part of the region due to the South Equatorial Current crossing the plateau.

Glutaric aciduria type 1 (glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, glutaric acidemia type 1) (OMIM 231670) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the enzyme glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH). Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) plays an important role in the degradation metabolism of L-lysine, L-hydroxylysine and L-tryptophan. The insufficiency or absence of the enzyme leads to the accumulation of by-products of degradation of such amino acids as glutaric acid, 3-hydroxyglutaric acid, glutarylcarnitine (C5DC-acylcarnitine) and glutaconic acid. The accumulation of glutaric acid and 3-OH-glutaric acid causes neurotoxicity. Glutaric aciduria type 1 can manifest itself in early childhood with encephalitis-like crises: from three months to three years as GA-1 with infantile onset or from the age of six years as the late onset of GA-1. It is characterized by progressive neurological motor disorders, with the appearance of various types of hyperkinesis in combination with spasticity, a high incidence of disability and mortality. In about 25% of cases, the disease has a subacute course and manifests over the first year of life with a delay in psychomotor development, the gradual development of hyperkinetic syndrome, and spasticity. Awareness of doctors and alertness regarding diseases from the group of hereditary metabolic diseases will help to carry out therapy in a timely manner both in the acute period and in the appointment of long-term therapy to prevent disability of patients.

Published: July 2022

High-functioning autism belongs to the group of disorders from the autism spectrum and does not represent a separate nosological category in official diagnostic manuals, although it is very often used informally in research articles. Social stories are one of the many interventions that are recommended in working with people with autism, which contribute to the improvement of their social skills. Stories are created by combining different types of sentences. The aim of this research is to determine the extent to which social stories that students have applied in their work with young people with high-functioning autism meet the set criteria, as well as to examine their social validity. The research included two groups of participants – six subjects with high-functioning autism and 46 final-year undergraduate students of the Faculty of Special Education and Rehabilitation, study program Special Education and Rehabilitation of Persons with Mental Disabilities. The analysis has shown that all stories met the criteria related to the following two questions: Does the story provide answers to the questions what, when, how, and why? Does it contain illustrations that correspond to the meaning of the text? In most stories, positive lan- guage formulations and first- or third-person singular addresses were used. Based on the results, it can be concluded that students’ experiences with this type of intervention are mostly positive. The results of this research show that the stories mostly meet the recommended criteria and that their structure is in line with those presented in foreign research. Additionally, the research results send an encouraging message to professionals to try their hand at creating and applying social stories. Future research should plan a more detailed assessment of targeted be- haviors, measuring effects, their duration, as well as the possibility of generalizing acquired skills.

HYPERKALEMIA CAUSING SEVERE MUSCLE WEAKNESS IN A PATIENT WITH RENAL INSUFFICIENCY
Authors: Anilbhai Patel Harshvardhan , Anuradha Natarajan , Prabhu Viknesh , Jayaraman Vijay , Vignesh Krishnan Mohankumar
Published: July 2022

In individuals with renal insufficiency, hyperkalaemia is one of the most common electrolyte imbalances, whereas it is uncommon in healthy people. When potassium is given or combined with a potassium-sparing diuretic, it happens quickly. It usually does not produce any signs and symptoms and is identified with normal blood investigations. Hyperkalemia causes faulty heart conduction and muscle weakness, among other symptoms. Muscle weakness as a clinical manifestation, on the other hand, is infrequent in clinical practise. This could be due to the fact that cardiac symptoms frequently appear earlier than weakness of muscles, necessitating the implementation of suitable interventions even before potassium concentration reaches a level that causes weakness. We present a case in which a patient with renal insufficiency had acute weakness of muscles as a result of extreme hyperkalaemia that acquired fast recovery after potassium and potassium-sparing diuretic administration.

La parasitosis intestinal es causa de morbilidad en niños y está asociada a medidas de higiene y factores socioculturales; los habitantes de las comunidades rurales desde tiempos ancestrales han utilizado plantas para el control de parasitosis. El diseño de investigación aplicada fue transversal con la finalidad de conocer los factores socioculturales que influyen en el consumo y conocimiento de plantas medicinales que se emplean en el tratamiento de las parasitosis en la comunidad de San Agustín Olá (Municipio de Campeche, México); se entrevistó el 80% de los domicilios de la comunidad sobre el conocimiento y uso de plantas medicinales que se empleen en el tratamiento de infecciones o enfermedades gastrointestinales y parasitosis. Los resultados permiten identificar las principales plantas medicinales empleadas en la región, entre ellas destaca el epazote (Dysphania ambrosioides) con el mayor número de menciones; estos datos sirven como base para estudios científicos posteriores encaminados a la validación del uso de las plantas y en la búsqueda de principios activos prometedores como antiparasitarios.
An External Independent Validation of APACHE IV in a Malaysian Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Wong Rowena SY , Ismail Noor Azina , Tan Cheng Cheng
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Intensive care unit (ICU) prognostic models are predominantly used in more developed nations such as the United States, Europe and Australia. These are not that popular in Southeast Asian countries due to costs and technology considerations. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the suitability of the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) IV model in a single centre Malaysian ICU. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted at the single centre ICU in Hospital Sultanah Aminah (HSA) Malaysia. External validation of APACHE IV involved a cohort of 916 patients who were admitted in 2009. Model performance was assessed through its calibration and discrimination abilities. A first-level customisation using logistic regression approach was also applied to improve model calibration. Results: APACHE IV exhibited good discrimination, with an area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.78. However, the model’s overall fit was observed to be poor, as indicated by the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test (Ĉ = 113, P <0.001). Predicted in-ICU mortality rate (28.1%) was significantly higher than the actual in-ICU mortality rate (18.8%). Model calibration was improved after applying first-level customisation (Ĉ = 6.39, P = 0.78) although discrimination was not affected. Conclusion: APACHE IV is not suitable for application in HSA ICU, without further customisation. The model’s lack of fit in the Malaysian study is attributed to differences in the baseline characteristics between HSA ICU and APACHE IV datasets. Other possible factors could be due to differences in clinical practice, quality and services of health care systems between Malaysia and the United States.

Industrial policies were developed to stimulate and provide opportunities for prospering industrial activities following the decline of investment in the agricultural sector. This followed the discovery of crude oil in Nigeria. Electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioner, an industrial sub-sector is very crucial and requisite channel for industrial development, whether for automated, machines services or computer manufacturing processes. Failure in energy and power supply, as well as gas flaring remains a fundamental problem in Nigeria’s development.
