description: Introduction
Quality of cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been found to be inconsistent and inadequate even in health care providers (HCP) attending in-hospital cardiac arrests. This is due to several reasons, including deterioration of CPR skills over time. We compared CPR skill retention and characteristics among HCPs and laypersons. Taking into account demographical variations between the two groups, we explored the differences and factors that affect retention of CPR skills and knowledge.

Results
The mean scores of BLS knowledge and CPR performance showed HCPs having higher mean in both scores. However, the Mann–Whitney test is non-significant on both mean score differences between HCPs and laypersons (p >0.05). To fulfill the normality and linearity assumptions, Y was transformed using Box-Cox power transformation with λ=0.5. Positive relationship was found between CPR performance and BLS knowledge as well as respondents who attended a refresher course.

Discussion and Conclusion
We found no difference in BLS knowledge and CPR skills between HCPs or laypersons. BLS skills were found to deteriorate rapidly after the initial training. Therefore, a refresher course should be provided to every rescuer 6 months after they have attended BLS training to sustain the quality of CPR performance.

description: The primary objective of this research is to study the cavitating effects of fluid flow past different axisymmetric cavitator in the upper sub-critical flow regime, which corresponds to the Reynolds number (2 × 104 to 2 × 105). Experiments are conducted in a water tunnel with a fluid flow velocity of 30 to 60 m/s at a constant rate of injection. The commercial software tool, ANSYS Fluent 18.1, is used to simplify three dimensional Reynolds averaged Navier Stokes equation with the compressible fluid flow by considering the pressure-based solver with standard k–ϵ turbulence model. A comparison of the numerical and experimental results shows that the numerical method can predict accurately the shape parameters of the natural cavitation phenomena such as cavity length, cavity diameter, and cavity shape. Results reported that with an increase in velocity, the cavity length and diameter increased to 250% and 20% respectively.

description: Τα τελευταία χρόνια το ενδιαφέρον για την εφαρμογή της επαυξημένης πραγματικότητας (Augmented Reality – AR) στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία είναι ολοένα και αυξανόμενο. Στόχος είναι η δημιουργία καινοτόμων περιβαλλόντων μάθησης για την επίτευξη μιας μοναδικής μαθησιακής εμπειρίας. Επιπρόσθετα, η εξατομίκευση για την προώθηση μιας μάθησης χωρίς αποκλεισμούς με χρήση AR είναι επίσης ένας αυξανόμενος τομέας ενδιαφέροντος. Φυσικά, υπάρχουν περιορισμοί και κωλύματα όσον αφορά την εφαρμογή της AR στην εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία που αξίζει να προβληματίσουν την επιστημονική κοινότητα και να επιλυθούν. Στην παρούσα εργασία θα αναλυθεί - εκτός των άλλων - η αξιοποίηση της επαυξημένης πραγματικότητας σε ένα εργαστηριακό μάθημα για την επιχειρηματικότητα το οποίο είναι σχεδιασμένο με τις αρχές της Σχεδιαστικής Σκέψης (design thinking) και την στρατηγική των Έξι Σκεπτόμενων Καπέλων του de Bono (6 thinking hats). Το εργαστήριο χωρίστηκε σε 2 μέρη. Οι ενότητες και οι δραστηριότητες του 1ου μέρους διαρθρώθηκαν με βάση τα στάδιά του και ενορχηστρώθηκε με τη δημιουργική στρατηγική “The 6 thinking hats” και οι δραστηριότητες του 2ου μέρους όπου εμπλέκεται και η τεχνολογία της επαυξημένης πραγματικότητας (AR) , ενισχύθηκε με την παιχνιδοποίηση (gamification) , με στόχο την διάδραση και την ανάπτυξη δεξιοτήτων μεταξύ των εκπαιδευομένων. Το εκπαιδευτικό σενάριο που αναπτύχθηκε και οι δραστηριότητες που το στελέχωσαν, αποβλέπουν στο να εξετασθεί ο βαθμός επιτυχίας της παρέμβασης καθώς επίσης κι άλλοι δείκτες που θα αναλυθούν περεταίρω. Τέλος θα γίνει μια συστηματική ανασκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας για την επαυξημένη πραγματικότητα σε εκπαιδευτικά περιβάλλοντα λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τους παράγοντες βάσει των οποίων θα αναπτυχθεί η έρευνα.

description: Buildings are responsible for 38% of all carbon emissions and 14% of water consumption in the United States. These negative environmental impacts can significantly be reduced by implementing green upgrade measures such as energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems, motion sensors, photovoltaic systems, and water-saving plumbing fixtures. Building owners in the public and private sectors often search for an optimal set of upgrade measures that is capable of minimizing the negative environmental impacts of their buildings. This paper presents the development of an optimization model that is capable of identifying optimal selection of building upgrade measures to minimize greenhouse gas emission and water consumption of existing buildings while complying with limited upgrade budgets. The model is developed in four main development steps: metrics identification step that quantifies greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption of existing buildings; model formulation step that formulates the model decision variables, objective function, and constraints; implementation step that executes the model computations and specifies the model input and output data; and validation step that evaluates the model performance using a case study of an existing building. The results of the model illustrate its new and unique capabilities in providing detailed results, which include specifications for the recommended upgrade measures, their location in the building, and required upgrade cost to minimize greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption of existing buildings.

description: Our study demonstrates successful error mitigation of indistinguishability-related noise in a quantum photonic processor through the application of the zero-noise extrapolation technique. By measuring observable values at different error levels, we were able to extrapolate towards a noise-free regime. We examined the impact of partial distinguishability of photons in a two-qubit processor implementing the variational quantum eigensolver for a Schwinger Hamiltonian. Our findings highlight the effectiveness of the extrapolation technique in mitigating indistinguishability-related noise and improving the accuracy of Hamiltonian eigenvalue estimation.

description: We investigate the dynamic evolution of heterogeneity in shear-thickening suspensions subjected to swirling excitation with a free surface. The uniform state of such a system may lose its stability when the oscillation frequency is above a threshold, and density waves spontaneously form (Shi \textit{et al.} JFM 2024). Here, we report a novel state where jammed clusters emerge in high-density region of the density waves. The jammed cluster exhibits unique motion, creating downstream high-density regions distinct from previously reported state of density waves. Additionally, theoretical calculations show that reducing suspension thickness lowers the frequency and global concentration $Φ$ threshold for the heterogeneity onset. Notably, the minimal $Φ$ for instability can be lower than the onset of discontinuous shear thickening transition. We also highlight the role of the free surface in cluster growth and persistence.

description: We implement a five-qubit protocol in IBM quantum processors to study entanglement dynamics in a two qubit system in the presence of a simulated environment. Specifically, two qubits represent the main system, while another two qubits serve as the environment. Additionally, we employ an auxiliary qubit to estimate the quantum entanglement. Specifically, we observe the sudden death and sudden birth of entanglement for different inital conditions that were simultaneously implemented on the IBM 127-qubit quantum processor \textit{ibm$\_$brisbane}. We obtain the quantum entanglement evolution of the main system qubits and the environment qubits averaging over $N=10$ independent experiments in the same quantum device. Our experimental data shows the entanglement and disentanglement signatures in system and enviroment qubits, where the noisy nature of current quantum processors produce a shift on times signaling sudden death or sudden birth of entanglement. This work takes relevance showing the usefulness of current noisy quantum devices to test fundamental concepts in quantum information.

description: Aberrant respondents are common but yet extremely detrimental to the quality of social surveys or questionnaires. Recently, factor mixture models have been employed to identify individuals providing deceptive or careless responses. We propose a comprehensive factor mixture model for continuous outcomes that combines confirmatory and exploratory factor models to classify both the non-aberrant and aberrant respondents. The flexibility of the proposed {classification model} allows for the identification of two of the most common aberrant response styles, namely faking and careless responding. We validated our approach by means of two simulations and two case studies. The results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed model in dealing with aberrant responses in social and behavioural surveys.

A fatal case of hydrogen sulfide poisoning in a fishing vessel
Creators: name: Phee Kheng Cheah
name: Shafii, Kamilah Mohd
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Introduction
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless, highly flammable gas, which is present in the environment. Well known as being toxic, it emits a distinctive “rotten egg” odor. It is produced as a natural by-product of decaying organic matter by anaerobic bacteria. Exposure to H2S may lead to varying symptoms including sudden cardiac arrest.

Case
We report a case of H2S poisoning in a fishing vessel involving a 20 year-old fisherman who was exposed to H2S in the ships’ hold. Catch from a 10-day fishing trip was stored in the confined hold which had a faulty cooling system allowing the fish to decay and release H2S. Our patient presented with status epilepticus, acute respiratory failure and acute kidney injury. Diagnosis of severe H2S intoxication was made clinically from the suggestive clinical history, severe metabolic acidosis and a saturation gap. The patient was treated with sodium nitrite 3% and underwent 3 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). The treatment was ineffective and the patient passed away after 5 days in the medical high dependency unit.

Discussion and Conclusion
H2S poisoning is common in the petroleum industry but have occasionally been reported in fishing vessels due to rotting fish. This report attempts to increase our knowledge and also awareness of this danger in the fishing industry. The antidote and HBOT as a therapeutic adjunct in the treatment of H2S poisoning and the rationale for its use are also discussed. The optimum mainstay therapy for hydrogen sulfide poisoning is unclear and mainly supportive.

description: We show that hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), a two-dimensional insulator, when subjected to an external superlattice potential forms a new paradigm for electrostatically tunable excitons in the near- and mid-ultraviolet (UV). The imposed potential has three consequences: (i) it renormalizes the effective mass tensor, leading to anisotropic effective masses; (ii) it renormalizes the band gap, eventually reducing it; (iii) it reduces the exciton binding energies. All these consequences depend on a single dimensionless parameter, which includes the product of strength of the external potential with its period. In addition to the excitonic energy levels, we compute the optical conductivity along two orthogonal directions, and from it the absorption spectrum. The results for the latter show that our system is able to mimic a grid polarizer. These characteristics make one-dimensional hBN superlattices a viable and unexplored platform for fine-tuned polaritonics in the UV to visible spectral range.
Management of construction risk through contractor's all risk insurance policy : a South Africa case study
Creators: name: Musundire, Suwisai
name: Aigbavboa, Clinton
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Contractors’ All Risks (CAR) is a special insurance cover, which insurances those losses not covered by an ‘excluded peril’ in a construction contract. The benefit to the insured under this type of policy is that the burden is shifted to the insurer who, to resist the claim, is required to show that the cause of the loss falls within an exclusion. The objective of the current research is to study the efficency of CAR in mitigating construction risk and to determine the factors which affect the use of CAR insurance policy in South Africa. The data for the study were derived from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data was obtained through the survey method, while the secondary data was derived from the review of literature. The primary data for the study was collected through a structured questionnaire survey distributed to a sample of 67 contracting firms who had taken CAR insurance and are curently using CAR in mitigating construction risk and 6 insurance companys who insure contractors under this policy. Findings from the study revealed that CAR Effectively covers work in progress, CAR protects the contractor’s interest effectively, CAR policy also protect the client’s interests effectively and that CAR assist the contractor in risk management by recognising potential risks and reducing the probability of such risks. Whilst the factors which affect the use of CAR insurance policy in the South Africa construction industry include: stipulation of the adopted conditions of standard construction contract, client’s requirement, cost and contractor’s own interest. The study adds to the body of knowledge on the use of CAR in the management of construction risk in the South Africa construction industry.

These groups generalize the generalized toggle groups of Striker (which themselves generalize the toggle groups introduced by Cameron and Fon-der-Flaass). We present some general results connecting the structure of a coloring group to the structure of its graph coloring, providing graph-theoretic characterizations of the centralizer and primitivity of a coloring group. We apply these results particularly to generalized toggle groups arising from trees as well as coloring groups arising from the independence posets introduced by Thomas and Williams.
Resuscitate Orders: Revisiting the default rule

description: End-of-life decisions must be, to the extent possible, autonomous and consistent with the long term choices and values of the person whose life is at stake. In the event of cardiac arrest, the default rule is that a person is resuscitated (with cardiopulmonary resuscitation or advanced cardiac life support) unless there is evidence that a “ordered” not to be resuscitated. To avoid this outcome, a person must properly execute a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR), or no code, order. DNRs are valuable instruments as they (1) support patient autonomy; (2) prevent non-beneficial interventions; and (3) favor equity. In this paper, I propose to modify the default rule form a opt-out model (“resuscitation is proposed unless there is evidence that the person does not want to be resuscitated”) to an opt-in model (“resuscitation is not performed unless there is evidence that the person wishes to be resuscitated) and argue that evidence of a person wishes would be clearly documented in a person’s driving license. My position is supported by various empirical and theoretical claims exposing the limitations of the current opt-out model. My proposal is to have mandatory DNR discussions early in life, as part of the issuance of a driver license, and with an opt-in system as default rule. This way, all adults are required to reflect on their end-of-life options thus allowing them to be better positioned to choose a path that fits their values and life plans.

description: The manipulation of solid states using intense infrared or terahertz light fields is a pivotal area in contemporary ultrafast photonics research. While conventional circular polarization has been well explored, the potential of counterrotating bicircular light remains widely underexplored, despite growing interest in theory. In the mid-infrared or multi-terahertz region, experimental challenges lie in difficulties in stabilizing the relative phase between two-color lights and the lack of available polarization elements. Here, we successfully generated phase-stable counterrotating bicircular light pulses in the 10-40 THz frequency range circumventing the above problems. Employing spectral broadening, polarization pulse shaping with a spatial light modulator, and intra-pulse difference frequency generation leveraging a distinctive angular-momentum selection rule within the nonlinear crystal, we achieved direct conversion from near-infrared pulses into the designed counterrotating bicircular multi-terahertz pulses. Use of the spatial light modulator enables programmable control over the shape, orientation, rotational symmetry, and helicity of the bicircular light field trajectory. This advancement provides a novel pathway for the programmable manipulation of light fields, and marks a significant step toward understanding and harnessing the impact of tailored light fields on matter, particularly in the context of topological semimetals.

description: Der vorliegende Band erforscht Bewegungen der Verrückung, Querung und Grenzüberschreitung in romanischen Kulturräumen des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts. Die Aufsätze widmen sich der interdisziplinären Verhandlung von Grenz- und Körperdiskursen in Literatur und Bildmedien. Überschreitungen rücken dabei nicht nur in physisch-räumlicher Perspektive, als Migrationsbewegungen, in den Fokus, sondern ebenso in genderspezifischer, gattungstechnischer und medialer Hinsicht. Auch in diesen transpositiven Dynamiken erscheinen Körperlichkeit und Materialität häufig zugleich als Dispositiv und Movens der Überschreitung, Überschreibung und Überzeichnung.
Planck CO revisited: Improved CO line emission maps from Planck space mission observations

description: The Planck space mission has observed the first three rotational lines of emission of Galactic CO. Those maps, however, are either noisy, or contaminated by astrophysical emissions from different origin. We revisit those data products to deliver new full-sky CO maps with low astrophysical contamination and significantly enhanced noise properties. To that effect, a specific pipeline is designed to evaluate and postprocess the existing Planck Galactic CO maps. Specifically, we use an extension of the Generalized Needlet Internal Linear Combination method to extract multi-component astrophysical emissions from multi-frequency observations. Well characterized, clean CO full-sky maps at $10^\prime$ angular resolution are produced. These maps are made available to the scientific community and can be used to trace CO emission over the entire sky, and to generate sky simulations in preparation for future CMB observations.

BIM maturity assessment and certification in construction project team selection

description: Part of the 5th International/11th Construction Specialty Conference (ICSC 15). To implement BIM in a construction project successfully, all the project participants as BIM users must have minimum BIM capabilities. Before any project starts, assessing BIM capabilities of project stakeholders is a concern for construction clients. The main problem of public clients regarding BIM is that they have no mechanism to ensure that the key participants, they hire for a BIM project, have the minimum capabilities (i.e. BIM Infrastructure, processes and qualified resources) to participate in design and delivery of the project. The high variability of firms’ readiness to work with BIM may impose a high cost for the client and other mature members of the supply chain. Therefore, construction clients need a way to ensure minimum BIM maturity of participants, such as a maturity audit to assess BIM competency of potential project team members. From a client’s perspective, “minimum BIM qualification” means “minimum capability to use BIM”. The current BIM maturity models try to assess BIM capabilities level of firms, but lack BIM uses assessment. This research proposes a prototype that focuses on capability of firms in specific BIM uses, while measuring their general BIM capabilities. The research methodology is based on an iterative literature review followed by focus group discussions. Through literature review, the researchers propose BIM platform maturity model. Then, BIM experts discuss on possible improvements. It is expected that by using this model, construction clients may achieve more BIM benefits, i.e. reduced cost, time, and increased quality of project, through selection of BIM-qualified project team members.

description: The entanglement level statistics of a quantum state have recently been proposed to be a signature of universality in the underlying quantum circuit. This is a consequence of level repulsion in the entanglement spectra being tied to the integrability of entanglement generated. However, such studies of the level-spacing statistics in the entanglement spectrum have thus far been limited to the output states of Clifford and Haar random circuits on product state inputs. In this work, we provide the first example of a circuit which is composed of a simulable gate set, yet has a Wigner-Dyson distributed entanglement level spectrum without any perturbing universal element. We first show that, for matchgate circuits acting on random product states, Wigner-Dyson statistics emerge by virtue of a single SWAP gate, in direct analog to previous studies on Clifford circuits. We then examine the entanglement spectrum of matchgate circuits with varied input states, and find a sharp jump in the complexity of entanglement as we go from two- to three-qubit entangled inputs. Studying Clifford and matchgate hybrid circuits, we find examples of classically simulable circuits whose output states exhibit Wigner-Dyson entanglement level statistics in the absence of universal quantum gate elements. Our study thus provides strong evidence that entanglement spectrum is not strongly connected to notions of simulability in any given quantum circuit.
