Critical Analysis of Patient and Family Rights in JCI Accreditation and Cbahi Standards for Hospitals
Authors: Shaikh Zuber Mujeeb 
Published: June 2018

Patient and Family Rights (PFR) is a common chapter available in the Joint Commission International (JCI) Accreditation[i] (fifth edition) and Central Board for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions (CBAHI) Standards for hospitals (second edition)[ii]. JCI Accreditation is a USA based international healthcare accrediting organization, whereas CBAHI is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia based national health care accrediting organization. However, both these standards are accredited by Ireland based International Society for Quality in Health Care (ISQua), which is the only accrediting organization who “accredit the accreditors' in the world. In Patient and Family Rights (PFR) chapter of JCI Accreditation for hospitals, there are nineteen (19) standards and seventy-seven (77) measurable elements (ME) whereas in CBAHI Accreditation there are thirty one (31) standards, ninety nine (99) sub-standards and fifty (50) evidence(s) of compliance (EC). The scoring mechanism is totally different in both these accrediting organizations. The researcher has identified thirty two (32) common parameters from JCI Accreditation and CBAHI standards, intent statement, measurable elements, sub-standard and evidence of compliance. On the basis of these identified common parameters, the researcher has compared the Patient and Family Rights chapter in JCI Accreditation and CBAHI Standards. Methods: This is a comparison study (normative comparison) in which the researcher has critically analyzed and compared the Patient and Family Rights (PFR) standards of JCI (Joint Commission International) Accreditation of USA (United States of America) and CBAHI (Central Board for Accreditation of Healthcare Institutions) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Data Collection: Primary data are collected from the JCI Accreditation Standards for hospitals, fifth edition, 2013 and CBAHI Standards for hospitals of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, second edition, 2011. Secondary data are collected from relevant published journals, articles, research papers, academic literature and web portals. Objectives of the Study: The aim of this study is to analyze critically Patient and Family Rights (PFR) Standards in JCI Accreditation and CBAHI Standards to point out the best in among both these standards. Conclusion: This critical analysis of Patient and Family Rights (PFR) Standards in JCI Accreditation and CBAHI Standards for hospitals clearly show that the PFR Standards in CBAHI Standards are very comprehensive than the JCI Accreditation standards.

The needs of library information need to be met to complete the information needs of the library users who generally have a variety of reasons to perform activities in accordance with their purpose. Information retrieval activity is one of the main activities of the library users at the library of the Research Institute for Spices and Medicinal Herbs (RISMH) to find the source of literature through the Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) facility. The purpose of the research was to determine the decision of the user in searching for information. The study was conducted from November to December 2017, with materials obtained from the library literature search 2015 -2017 results form. The study used the quantitative descriptive method, while the observed variables were: searching users; sources of the required information; subjects needed, and the relationship of the user with the library material searched. Data were analyzed descriptively. The result of the study showed the dominant user searching for information was the researcher; source of information required was documentation, and subject/commodity needed by the user which was medicinal plants. There is a correlation between the researcher’s decision and the searching of journal literature and documentation; student decisions by searching books, journals, and documentation; as well as the general/private user’s decisions with book search and documentation. The information retrieval service at the Balittro Library needs to be improved by linking the online search database with the Balittro website so it can increase the number of online collections.
El Consejo de Salud Suramericano y la creación de un régimen regional de salud
Authors: Olivares Homez Milena 
Published: June 2018

Este artículo aborda los principales postulados de los regímenes internacionales desde la teoría neoliberal y los aplica al caso de estudio del Consejo de Salud Sudamericano (CSS), de la UNASUR, analizando si los desarrollos de este último pueden considerarse como un régimen regional de salud. Se revisa detalladamente el proceso de institucionalización del consejo y de sus organismos subsidiarios con una metodología cualitativa, cuyas fuentes primarias son textos, acuerdos fundacionales y las entrevistas a personas relacionadas con el tema. Es importante el trabajo del CSS recopilando información del estado de la salud regional y contribuyendo en la toma de decisiones de los ministros de salud para mejorar el acceso a la salud de los suramericanos.Esta investigación argumenta que la dinámica que ha creado el CSS especialmente con la instauración del Instituto Suramericano de Gobierno en Salud, ha generado ciertas características de los regímenes internacionales. Sin embargo, en medio de esta sinergia no aparece una función fundamental de los regímenes y que es esencial para su mantenimiento, a saber: cualquier forma de obligación hacia los estados para que cumplan los acuerdos y de esta manera todos los miembros aumenten la confianza hacia el régimen.
A Simple Algorithm for Despiking Raman Spectra
Authors: Whitaker Darren , Hayes Kevin 
Published: June 2018

Raman Spectroscopy is a widely used analytical technique, favoured when molecular specificity with minimal sample preparation is required.The majority of Raman instruments use charge-coupled device (CCD) detectors, these are susceptible to cosmic rays and as such multiple spurious spikes can occur in the measurement. These spikes are problematic as they may hinder subsequent analysis, particularly if multivariate data analysis is required. In this work we present a new algorithm to remove these spikes from spectra after acquisition. Specifically we use calculation of modified Z scores to locate spikes followed by a simple moving average filter to remove them. The algorithm is very simple and its execution is essentially instantaneous, resulting in spike-free spectra with minimal distortion of actual Raman data. The presented algorithm represents an improvement on existing spike removal methods by utilising simple, easy to understand mathematical concepts, making it ideal for experts and non-experts alike.

Published: June 2018

The main goal of this paper is to identify the challenges of the sustainable demographic development in terms of the changes and current demographic situation in the Western Balkan countries, as well as to detect the importance of comprehensive and consistent population policies. The analysis is based on the relevant indicators for demographic changes identified in the Sustainable Development Strategy of the EU. The comparative analysis is made for the following countries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Republic of Macedonia and Serbia. The available data from the Eurostat statistics and other relevant data sources for the last decade are used. Also, relevant studies considering the demographic development and adopted population policies are observed. The added value of this research is in the comparison of the demographic indicators and recognizing their importance for the sustainable demographic development of this region as one of the key preconditions for the future sustainable development.
The results of the analysis show that the demographic changes are big challenge for the sustainable development in all Western Balkan countries. They have implications in many domains and should be in the focus not only of the demographers, but of the researchers and policy makers in different fields of the macroeconomics as well. The lack of data for old-age income adequacy and public finance sustainability imposes the need for comprehensive database in each country as a precondition for continuous monitoring of the demographic changes and for creating appropriate policies regarding the sustainable development. Based on the results of this research, the common areas where the population policies of these countries should be directed are identified.

The cyanobacteria Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii, is a fresh water ubiquitous species from tropical to temperate weather. It is potentially capable of producing toxins. Thus it is necessary to monitor its presence in fresh waters associated to recreational use activities and human consumption. There are official reports and one thesis reporting the presence of C. raciborskii in Ecuador. Nevertheless, this country does not appear in the latest distribution maps of this species in the scientific literature. In this article, we report the presence of C. raciborskii in Ecuador, together with the characterization of the environmental conditions of one of the habitats where this species is present: the Limoncocha lagoon, province of Sucumbíos.

Authors: Mitrofanov Yu. I. , Antsiferova О. N. , Petrova L. I. , Pervushina N. К. 
Published: June 2018

The research was carried out on the experimental fields of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution All-Russian Research Institute of Reclaimed Lands (FGBNU VNIIMZ) (Tver Region). Soil sod-podzolic light loamy and sandy loamy, drained, humus content 1.8-2.6%, medium and high content of nutrients, soil reaction weakly acidic and close to neutral. It has been established that when oats are grown in crop rotation after potatoes and winter rye, using the basic elements of intensive technologies, the oats sowing norms can be reduced from 6.0 million / ha of allotment grains recommended by the farming system to 4.0 and 5.0 without damage for the harvest. Analysis of the structure of the crop showed that a decrease in the norms of sowing of oats leads to a decrease in the density of standing of plants and the number of productive stems per unit area. The associated crop losses were compensated for by more intense plant growth and the increase in the mass of grain in the panicle. The associated crop losses were compensated for by more intense plant growth and the increase in the mass of grain in the panicle. With a decrease in the sowing norms from 8.0 to 3.0 million / ha of virgin grains, the number of productive stems consistently decreased from 506 to 309 pieces / m2, and the grain weight in the panicle increased from 0.77 to 1.22 grams, the number of grains in a panicle from 31.8 to 38.8 pcs., weight of 1000 grains from 24.1 to 31.4 grams. With a decrease in the oats sowing norms from 6.0 to 4.0 million, productive tillering of oat plants increased by 32.2%, grain weight in the panicle by 20.0%, the number of grains by 14.7% and weight of 1000 grains - by 4.9%. The decrease in the oats sowing norms from 6.0 to 4.0-5.0 million / ha of virgin grains reduces the consumption of seeds for growing 1 ton of grain by 16.7-33.4%, direct costs for cultivating oats per 1 hectare crops at the expense of saving seeds are reduced by 500-1000 rubles.

Authors: Almasraf Sabah Anwer , Hommadi Ali Hassan 
Published: June 2018

Utilizing the modern technologies in agriculture such as subsurface water retention techniques were developed to improve water storage capacities in the root zone depth. Moreover, this technique was maximizing the reduction in irrigation losses and increasing the water use efficiency. In this paper, a polyethylene membrane was installed within the root zone of okra crop through the spring growing season 2017 inside the greenhouse to improve water use efficiency and water productivity of okra crop. The research work was conducted in the field located in the north of Babylon Governorate in Sadat Al Hindiya Township seventy-eight kilometers from Baghdad city. Three treatments plots were used for the comparison using surface trickle irrigation system: Polyethylene sheet (SWRT) was used in plot T1, controlled irrigation in plot T2 and uncontrolled irrigation in plot T3. Irrigation quantities, time of irrigation, soil water contents were measured for all treatments plots. The results indicated that water use efficiency for the three experimental plots, T1, T2, and T3 were: 2.43, 1.94 and 0.98 kg/m3, respectively. The increasing value in water use efficiency of T1 plot compared with T2 and T3 plots were 25 and 148 %, respectively. Additionally, the water productivity of okra crop for T1, T2, and T3 plots was: 12800.9, 8744.8, and 4736.3 ID/m3, respectively. The increasing value of the water productivity of T1 compared with plots T2 and T3 was 46 and 170 %, respectively. From this study, the benefit of using membrane sheet below the soil surface resulted in an increase in the value of yield, water use efficiency and water productivity. Moreover, saving water and reduced the water losses by deep percolation were resulted.

Authors: Salman Mohammed Mosleh , Jarallah Husain Khalaf , Al-Behadili Raed Satar 
Published: June 2018

In this research, the structural behavior of reinforced concrete columns made of normal and hybrid reactive powder concrete (hybrid by steel and polypropylene fibers) subjected to chloride salts with concentration was 8341.6 mg/l. The study consists of two parts, the first one is experimental study and the second one is theoretical analysis. Three main variables were adopted in the experimental program; concrete type, curing type and loading arrangement. Twenty (120x120x1200) mm columns were cast and tested depending on these variables. The samples were reinforced using two different bars; Ø8 for ties and Ø12 with minimum longitudinal reinforcement (0.01Ag). The specimens were divided into two main groups based on curing type: The first group consists of casting and testing of ten columns that cured in tap water for 28 days with two types of concrete (normal and hybrid), five columns for each type. While the second group consists of ten columns that direct cured and fully immersed in chloride water (8341.6 mg/l) 6 months with two types of concrete (normal and hybrid), five columns for each type. The specimens were tested under three types of loading, the first one is axial load, the second one is eccentric load with three different eccentricities (50,100 and 150) mm and where (e/h) are (0.42, 0.83 and 1.25) respectively from the center of column while the third type of loading is tested the specimens as beam.
The experimental results showed an increase in ultimate load capacity and higher chlorides resisting for hybrid reactive powder concrete in comparison with normal concrete in both types of curing (tap and chloride water) through studying strain profile. Interaction diagram charts were obtained from different types of loading for each specimen. These charts showed high values for hybrid reactive powder concrete in comparison with normal concrete.

Published: June 2018

This study aims to show, the strength of steel beam-concrete slab system without using shear connectors (known as a non-composite action), where the effect of the friction force between the concrete slab and the steel beam has been investigated, by using finite element simulation.
The proposed finite element model has been verified based on comparison with an experimental work. Then, the model was adopted to study the system strength with a different steel beam and concrete slab profile. ABAQUS has been adopted in the preparation of all numerical models for this study.
After validation of the numerical models, a parametric study was conducted, with linear and non-linear Regression analysis. An equation regarding the concrete slab-steel beam system strength in non-composite action has been pointed out. Where the actual strength of the beam without using shear connectors has been located in between the full composite action and non-composite action. However, partial-composite action has been noted, due to the effectiveness of friction force which makes the beam behave as composite before the slip occurs.

Published: June 2018

Bu araştırmada, Türkiye’de iletişim fakültesi gazetecilik bölümünde öğrenim gören
öğrencilerin cinsiyet ayrımcılığı bağlamında spor gazeteciliğine yönelik görüşlerinin
ortaya çıkarılması hedeflenmiştir. Bu amaçla, alanla ilgili uzman iki akademisyenin
görüşleri doğrultusunda 20 soruluk bir veri toplama formu geliştirilmiştir. Form, Abant
İzzet Baysal Üniversitesi, Akdeniz Üniversitesi, Ankara Üniversitesi ve Gazi Üniversitesi
bünyesindeki iletişim fakültelerinin gazetecilik bölümlerindeki 237 öğrenciye
uygulanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre erkek öğrenciler, futbol dışındaki branşlardan
kız öğrencilere göre daha fazla hoşlandıklarını belirtmiştir. Erkek öğrencilerin futbola
ilgileri de kızlardan daha yüksektir. Erkek öğrenciler, sporun erkek egemenliğinde
olduğunu kızlara göre daha fazla vurgulamıştır. Katılımcıların spor medyasıyla olan
algılarında futbola karşı olumsuz bir bakış açısı ortaya çıkmıştır. Kız öğrenciler futbol
hegemonyasındaki spor medyasıyla daha az ilgilenmektedir. Erkek öğrencilere göre
spor gazetecisi olabilmek için sporu sevmek gerekir. Ancak kız öğrenciler bu görüşe
katılmamıştır. Kız öğrencilere göre, Türkiye’de spor medyası kulüpler arasında tarafsız
davranmaktadır ve spor medyasının güvenirliği yüksektir. Erkek öğrenciler bu iki görüşe
de katılmamıştır. Erkeklere göre spor medyası tarafsız değildir ve spor medyasının
güvenirliği düşüktür. Bu iki sonuç erkeklerin ve kızların futbolu farklı algıladıklarını
göstermektedir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarından biri de erkekler kadar kız öğrencilerin de
spor medyasında görev yapmak istemeleridir. Türkiye’de spor medyasında daha fazla
kadının görev yapmasının gerektiğini hem kızlar hem de erkekler vurgulamıştır. Sonuç
olarak, gazetecilik bölümlerinden mezun olan kız öğrencilerin bu alanda daha fazla iş
bulması, spor medyasının maskülen yapısını değiştirebilir.&nbsp;
