The Impact of the Transition to an Electronic Medical Record on Patient Perceptions in a Pediatric Ophthalmology Practice
Authors: Cavuoto Kara M. , Monsalve Pedro , Chang Ta C. 
Published: May 2016

Purpose:
To assess the impact of the transition from traditional paper-based medical records to electronic medical records in a pediatric ophthalmology practice at a tertiary care center.

Methods:
A prospective, cross-sectional survey was completed at three time points: 2 weeks prior to (phase 1), 2 weeks after (phase 2), and 3 months after (phase 3) the electronic medical record transition. The survey consisted of 10 Likert-type scaled questions assessing patient satisfaction and two free response questions estimating the wait time, which was completed by patients or parents/guardians whose child/children (younger than 18 years) had an appointment in the pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus clinic. Satisfaction scores and waiting times were compared within each phase and across phases and between different appointment types.

Results:

A total of 382 surveys were collected: 158 from phase 1, 68 from phase 2, and 156 from phase 3. Overall, patient satisfaction was high at all three time points. Patients' estimates of waiting time compared to actual waiting time were not significantly different at any phase; however, patients' estimates of time spent with the physician were significantly underestimated in phase 1 (20 vs 25 minutes,
P
= .04) and were correct or overestimated in phase 3.

Conclusions:
Patients were satisfied with the service regardless of the use of paper charts or electronic medical records. The electronic medical record system does not seem to improve patients' waiting time, but has a significant impact on the perception of time spent with the physician.

Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography of the Horizontal and Vertical Extraocular Muscles With Measurement of the Insertion to Limbus Distance
Authors: Pihlblad Matthew S. , Erenler Feyza , Sharma Aman , Manchandia Ajay , Reynolds James D. 
Published: May 2016

Purpose:
To assess the possibility of determining the insertion distance from the limbus of horizontal and vertical extraocular rectus muscles with anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).

Methods:
The right eyes of 46 patients underwent AS-OCT. The horizontal and vertical extraocular rectus muscle insertion distances from the limbus were measured in a masked fashion by two pediatric ophthalmologists.

Results:
Forty-two lateral rectus, 43 medial rectus, 35 inferior rectus, and 40 superior rectus muscles of the right eyes of 46 patients were included. Insertion to limbus measurements (mean ± SD) were as follows: lateral rectus = mean 6.8 ± 0.7 mm, range = 4.8 to 8.4 mm; medial rectus = mean 5.7 ± 0.8 mm, range = 4.3 to 7.8 mm; inferior rectus = mean 6.0 ± 0.6 mm, range = 4.8 to 7.0 mm; superior rectus = mean 6.8 ± 0.6 mm, range = 5.5 to 8.1 mm. The intraobserver and interobserver correlation coefficients for the insertion to limbus measurements of all four rectus muscles exceeded 0.75 (excellent correlation).

Conclusions:
The study showed that AS-OCT is capable of imaging all four of the rectus muscle insertions and measuring the insertion to limbus distance, and is the second AS-OCT study to image the superior and inferior rectus muscle insertions. The insertion to limbus measurements between examiners and on repeat measurements were consistent and reproducible. The ability to accurately image extraocular rectus muscle insertions may have future implications for the preoperative procedure planning in patients who have had previous surgery.

Prospective Evaluation of Photoscreeners in the Pseudophakic Eyes of Children
Authors: Trivedi Rupal H. , Wilson M. Edward , Peterseim Mae Millicent W. , Papa Carrie , Husain Mahvash 
Published: May 2016

Purpose:
To compare refractive data of Plusoptix AO9 (Plusoptix, Inc., Atlanta, GA) and Spot (Welch Allyn, Skaneateles Falls, NY) photoscreeners with retinoscopy in pseudophakic eyes of children.

Methods:
In this prospective study, patients underwent testing with the Plusoptix and Spot photoscreeners prior to their examination by a pediatric ophthalmologist masked to the results of both photoscreeners. Data including testability and estimated refractions were entered into a Research Electronic Data Capture database for statistical analysis. For bilateral pseudophakia, one randomly selected eye was included in the analysis.

Results:

Forty-four eyes were included, with a mean age of 7.4 ± 4.8 years. Refraction was estimated in all eyes using retinoscopy, but a refractive estimate was obtained in only 11.3% (5 of 44) of eyes using the Plusoptix binocularly and 63.6% (28 of 44) of eyes using the Spot. Compared to retinoscopy, the Plusoptix showed a mean difference of −0.80, 0.10, and −0.75 diopters (D) for sphere, cylinder, and spherical equivalent, respectively (
P
> .05). Comparable values for the Spot were 0.18, −0.26, and 0.05 D, respectively (
P
> .05). Compared to retinoscopy, the Plusoptix showed a mean absolute difference of 1.30, 0.80, and 1.25 D for sphere, cylinder, and spherical equivalent, respectively (
P
> .05). Similar values for the Spot were 1.38, 0.88, and 0.97 D, respectively (
P
> .05).

Conclusions:
Refraction was estimated in a higher number of pseudophakic eyes of children using the Spot as compared to the Plusoptix. The Spot may be useful to evaluate myopic shift in pseudophakic eyes of children.

Adolfo Bustamante’s María la O (1948) and the Cinematic Transformation of Cuban Zarzuela
Authors: Thomas Susan 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
Cuban zarzuela flourished for a brief period of time, from the late 1920s to the early 1940s, providing the Western hemisphere with some of its best-loved melodies. The musical and dramatic codes of the zarzuela represented both hegemonic power and social marginality. Composers took preexisting racialized theatrical types and created a phenomenon that was as pedagogical as it was entertaining, instructing Cuba’s growing bourgeoisie about the need for social and racial stability. The zarzuela trafficked in desire, supporting a white-supremacist ideology while simultaneously advocating the consumption of blackness, a strategy that it shared with the larger afrocubanismo movement.
The short lifespan of zarzuela in Cuba has frequently been blamed on the rise of cinema, which offered lower admission prices and greater realism. This article contends that rather than replacing the zarzuela, the emerging Cuban and Mexican film industries absorbed and transformed it, appropriating its plots, performance practices, composers, technical designers, and even performers. I explore the zarzuela’s transformation from stage to screen through Mexican filmmaker Adolfo Bustamante’s 1948 adaptation of Ernesto Lecuona’s 1930 zarzuela, María la O. The film’s negotiation of its borrowed content is instructive in understanding how the racialized codes of the zarzuela were reworked to speak to a larger Latin American audience. In removing cultural markers, filmmakers effectively excised any sense of subversive ambivalence from their original source material, engaging in a “flattening out” of racialized discourse and performance practice that mirrored trends emanating from the U.S. and Europe.
Piłsudski in Zdzisław Czermański’s Artistic Rendering
Authors: Wróbel Elżbieta 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article discusses the artistic output of the eminent Polish cartoonist Zdzisław Czermański from the interwar period (1918–39). The text has been divided into five parts. The discussion of Czermański’s cartoons and portrayals showing the figure of Józef Piłsudski has enabled the author to present the most important artistic achievements of this Polish artist. The author has also recollected other subjects of the artist’s works created for the American press (Czermański moved to New York in April 1941).
Competitiveness of the Polish Economy: Lessons Learned for the Years 2014–2020
Authors: Schwabe Michał 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article describes the major problems of the Polish economy at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It argues that the financial aid, which will be transferred to Poland by the European Commission during the period 2014–20, will have positive consequences for the Polish economy only if the funding is spent with a clear goal of increasing competitiveness and innovativeness of the Polish economy. Otherwise, with high labor costs and no competitive advantage over other Central and Eastern European countries, after the year 2020 Poland is likely to fall into recession.

Authors: Wageeh Nafei A. 
Published: May 2016

<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>The purpose of this research is to identify the types of OA (sensing agility, decision-making agility and acting agility) and its role in promoting Quality of Work Life (QWL) of the employees at commercial banks in Egypt.</p><p><strong>Research Design/Methodology:<em> </em></strong>To assess positive OA refer to (OA questionnaire, Jaworski, &amp; Kohli, 1993) and QWL (QWL survey Seashore et al., 1983; Cammann et al., 1983; National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 2002) are used. The data of the study was collected from the employees at commercial banks in Egypt. Out of the 382 questionnaires that were distributed to employees, 325 usable questionnaires were returned, a response rate of 85%. Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) was used to confirm the research hypotheses.</p><p><strong>Findings:</strong> It has been paid to how OA factors have an impact on QWL.

Strabismus surgery among Medicare beneficiaries: imputed rates of reoperation in the same calendar year
Authors: Leffler Christopher T. , Pariyadath Allison 
Published: May 2016

PurposeTo compare strabismus surgery reoperation rates in a large national database of provider payments when the adjustable-suture technique was available and not available.
Materials and MethodsFee-for-service payments to Medicare providers for horizontal (CPT 67311) and vertical (CPT 67314) strabismus surgery in 2012 were analyzed to identify payments for reoperations in the same calendar year. The adjustable-suture technique was considered to be available to the patient if the patient’s surgeon billed for adjustable sutures during the year. We determined the association of reoperation with the availability of the adjustable-suture technique and with surgeon volume.
ResultsPatients having horizontal muscle surgery had a rate of reoperation in 2012 of 4.1% (15 of 364 patients) when the adjustable technique was available, compared with 7.1% (77 of 1,082 patients) when the adjustable technique was not available (P = 0.047). Patients having vertical muscle surgery had a rate of reoperation in 2012 of 4.1% (8 of 196 patients) when the adjustable technique was available, compared with 8.3% (38 of 458 patients) when the adjustable technique was not available (P = 0.07). Having surgery in a high-volume surgical practice was not reliably associated with reoperation rates.
ConclusionsFor patients having strabismus surgery, the availability of the adjustable-suture technique was associated with a lower reoperation rate in this large national database (compared with patients for whom the adjustable technique was not available). The difference was statistically significantly different from zero for horizontal muscle surgery but not for vertical muscle surgery.
Mouvements sociaux, mouvements post-politiques
Authors: Melucci Alberto 
Published: May 2016

Dans cet article, l’auteur s’efforce de saisir les mouvements sociaux qui parcourent les sociétés post-industrielles comme les signes d’une transformation profonde de la logique et des mécanismes qui guident nos sociétés. Il esquisse une interprétation de ces formes contemporaines d’action collective que constituent les mouvements « post-politiques » des jeunes, des femmes, des groupes nationaux et des communautés ethniques ainsi que les mobilisations écologiques.
Ces mouvements sont pour l’auteur « post-politiques », dans le sens où ils débordent complètement les cadres traditionnels d’organisation et de compréhension politiques des sociétés industrielles. Il n’est donc plus possible de les saisir correctement à travers des schèmes d’analyse qui sont marqués historiquement par les formes politiques que ces sociétés ont produites.
Peut-on même parler de « mouvements » ? Il s’agit plutôt d’espaces de rassemblement, de réseaux diffus de groupes, de points de rencontre qui diffèrent profondément de l’acteur collectif organisé politiquement. Doit-on qualifier ces phénomènes de désagrégation ? Nous nous trouvons plutôt en face d’un changement du modèle et de la forme de rassemblement de l’acteur collectif qui pose le problème du rapport entre les mouvements et les systèmes de représentation et d’organisation politique.
Le conflit des deux modernités et la question de la disparition des solidarités
Authors: Beck Ulrich 
Published: May 2016

Dans ce texte synthétique reprenant deux courts chapitres publiés en allemand en 1995, Ulrich Beck présente quelques-uns des concepts essentiels sur lesquels il appuie sa lecture de la société contemporaine et, en particulier, la notion de « modernisation reflexive », qu'il partage avec Anthony Giddens. Selon Beck, les trente dernières années ont été marquées par un processus continu de détraditionalisation. Avec ce processus, plusieurs des clefs de voûte de la société industrielle se sont dissoutes : partage des rôles des sexes, famille nucléaire, classes sociales. Ces catégories qui permettaient d'orienter les trajectoires sociales et de définir les positions dans la société industrielle, mais aussi qui étaient relayées par les institutions, n'organisent plus les trajectoires individualisées. La biographie normalisée devient une biographie choisie. Nous vivons désormais dans une société sans classe, mais gorgée d'inégalités sociales, une société où s'érodent les fondements existentiels des institutions et des formes de consensus qui les ont portées. Ces transformations ont aussi des conséquences majeures pour les formes de mobilisation et d'expression politique. Beck aborde cette question dans un second temps, en évoquant la question des solidarités dans les sociétés modernes avancées.

Published: May 2016

IntroductionTenofovir‐based first‐line antiretroviral therapy (ART) is recommended globally. To evaluate the impact of its incorporation into the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, we examined treatment failure and drug resistance among a cohort of patients on tenofovir‐based first‐line ART at the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare, a large HIV treatment programme in western Kenya.MethodsWe determined viral load (VL), drug resistance and their correlates in patients on ≥six months of tenofovir‐based first‐line ART. Based on enrolled patients’ characteristics, we described these measures in those with (prior ART group) and without (tenofovir‐only group) prior non‐tenofovir‐based first‐line ART using Wilcoxon rank sum and Fisher's exact tests.ResultsAmong 333 participants (55% female; median age 41 years; median CD4 336 cells/µL), detectable (>40 copies/mL) VL was found in 18%, and VL>1000 copies/mL (WHO threshold) in 10%. Virologic failure at both thresholds was significantly higher in 217 participants in the tenofovir‐only group compared with 116 in the prior ART group using both cut‐offs (24% vs. 7% with VL>40 copies/mL; 15% vs. 1% with VL>1000 copies/mL). Failure in the tenofovir‐only group was associated with lower CD4 values and advanced WHO stage. In 35 available genotypes from 51 participants in the tenofovir‐only group with VL>40 copies/mL (69% subtype A), any resistance was found in 89% and dual‐class resistance in 83%. Tenofovir signature mutation K65R occurred in 71% (17/24) of the patients infected with subtype A. Patients with K65R had significantly lower CD4 values, higher WHO stage and more resistance mutations.ConclusionsIn this Kenyan cohort, tenofovir‐based first‐line ART resulted in good (90%) virologic suppression including high suppression (99%) after switch from non‐tenofovir‐based ART. Lower virologic suppression (85%) and high observed resistance levels (89%) in the tenofovir‐only group impact future treatment options, support recommendations for widespread VL monitoring in such resource limited settings to identify early treatment failure and suggest consideration of individualized resistance testing to design effective subsequent regimens.

Propagation of uncertainty and sensitivity analysis in an integral oil‐gas plume model
Authors: Wang Shitao , Iskandarani Mohamed , Srinivasan Ashwanth , Thacker W. Carlisle , Winokur Justin , Knio Omar M. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractPolynomial Chaos expansions are used to analyze uncertainties in an integral oil‐gas plume model simulating the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The study focuses on six uncertain input parameters—two entrainment parameters, the gas to oil ratio, two parameters associated with the droplet‐size distribution, and the flow rate—that impact the model's estimates of the plume's trap and peel heights, and of its various gas fluxes. The ranges of the uncertain inputs were determined by experimental data. Ensemble calculations were performed to construct polynomial chaos‐based surrogates that describe the variations in the outputs due to variations in the uncertain inputs. The surrogates were then used to estimate reliably the statistics of the model outputs, and to perform an analysis of variance. Two experiments were performed to study the impacts of high and low flow rate uncertainties. The analysis shows that in the former case the flow rate is the largest contributor to output uncertainties, whereas in the latter case, with the uncertainty range constrained by aposteriori analyses, the flow rate's contribution becomes negligible. The trap and peel heights uncertainties are then mainly due to uncertainties in the 95% percentile of the droplet size and in the entrainment parameters.
Robust adaptive control of Hammerstein nonlinear systems and its application to typical CSTR problems
Authors: Zhang Bi , Mao Zhizhong 
Published: May 2016

SummaryThis paper considers the robust adaptive control of Hammerstein nonlinear systems with uncertain parameters. The control scheme is derived from a modified criterion function which can overcome non‐minimum phase property of the linear subsystem. The parameter adaptation is performed by using a robust recursive least squares algorithm with a deadzone weighted factor. The control law compensates the model error by incorporating the unmodeled dynamics estimation. An online pole assignment technique is also presented to guarantee that Assumption 2 always holds. Rigorous theoretical analysis indicates that the parameter estimation convergence and the closed‐loop system stability can be guaranteed under mild conditions. Simulation examples including two typical continuous stirred tank reactor problems are studied to verify the effectiveness of the control scheme. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
