Implementation of an interdisciplinary system to assess time spent in upright and ambulant positions during the first stage of labor
Creators: name: Purcell, Thérèse
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2024

description: Purpose: This quality improvement pilot project developed and implemented a provider-focused educational program and created and implemented a patient-focused guide/visual aid to assess the time spent in upright and ambulant positions during early labor for low-risk, term, gravid women.Methodology: The project applied a post-implementation assessment design and took place in a 519-bed urban teaching hospital in Essex County, New Jersey where approximately 1,200 births occur annually. Convenience sampling and purposive recruitment were used to target participation by low-risk, term, singleton, and gravid women whose fetus was in the cephalic position. The project encompassed unit-based education for the labor and delivery providers, distribution of educational flyers to laboring persons, displaying instructional and reminder posters in the labor and delivery suites, and implementation of an assessment form to track the time spent in various ambulant and upright positions during the first stage labor.Results: Assessment forms successfully tracked the amount of time spent taking upright and ambulant positions and the various positions taken during the first stage of labor. Time spent standing/walking ranged from 17 to 135 (n=4, mean 56.75) minutes. The range of time spent sitting was 25 to 270 minutes (n=4, mean 91.25) minutes. The range of time spent using a birthing ball was zero to 95 minutes (n=4, mean 51.25) minutes. The time spent in these various positions was preference-based. Implications for Practice: This project encouraged healthcare personnel to assess time spent in upright and ambulant positions and raised awareness of physiologic best birthing practices. With the use of the visual guides and new birthing balls on the unit, nursing and ancillary providers were able to aid patients to various positions and track the time they are spending in non-recumbent positions.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A recent interest has focused the marine protected areas (MPAs) on a fisheries management role, because they can be used like a harvest refuge. In order to assess the influence of marine protected areas in the quantity and quality of catches, an experimental fishing study with commercial artisanal gears was performed. This approach allows to test the hypothesis of increased catches at the border of MPAs, in comparison with other fishing grounds. Two MPAs have been selected: Carry-le-Rouet in France, and Tabarca Marine Reserve in Spain; both in the western Mediterranean. At each MPA two sites were established in homogeneous Posidonia oceanica meadows, between 10 and 25 m depth and three distances from the MPA were sampled (0-50 m, 500 m and >1500 m) with trammel net replicates of 100m. ANOVA of species richness, abundance, biomass and incomes of total catch were done; also abundance and biomass of some target species were analyzed. Higher values were found near the border and differences between distances were higher at Carry-le-Rouet than at Tabarca. Differences between MPA were significant for abundance and biomass with higher values at Tabarca; incomes were significantly higher at Carry-le-Rouet. Only species richness has significant differences with distance from both MPAs. Main species in the catches were Scorpaena porcus and Symphodus tinca, but only the first one showed significant differences with higher abundance at the border of both MPAs. As conclusion we can affirm that MPAs can be used as a management tool to increase the catches at the surrounding fishing grounds.

description: Results from research on the calcium and energy status of cows affected with dystocia have not been conclusive. We hypothesize that during early post-partum (pp), similar to cows with retained placenta and uterine prolapse, cows with dystocia develop subclinical hypocalcemia, as well as ketosis. Therefore, the objectives of this study were : (1) to describe the total blood calcium (tCa), betahydroxybutyrate (BOHB) and non-esterified free fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations in blood during the first 12 days pp in dairy cows with dystocia, 2) to determine if an oral calcium propionate drench at calving and 72 hours later improves blood calcium concentration and energy status.

description: We present a scattering theory for the efficient transmission of an excitation across a finite network with designed disorder. We show that the presence of randomly positioned networks sites allows to significantly accelerate the excitation transfer processes as compared to a dimer structure, if only the disordered Hamiltonians are constrained to be centrosymmetric, and to exhibit a dominant doublet in their spectrum. We identify the cause of this efficiency enhancement in the constructive interplay between disorder-induced fluctuations of the dominant doublet's splitting and the coupling strength between the input and output sites to the scattering channels. We find that the characteristic strength of these fluctuations together with the channel coupling fully control the transfer efficiency.

description: Liver abscesses occur in finishing cattle as a sequela to high-concentrate diets. Reductions in daily gain and feed efficiency, as well as loss of carcass yield occur as a result of abscessed livers. A common practice to reduce the incidence of liver abscesses is the feeding of antimicrobials. However, the demand for organic and natural beef in the US is on the rise and cattle reared in these systems typically cannot receive antimicrobials. These production systems do, however, allow the use of vaccines making them a potential alternative method for control of liver abscess. Two commercial vaccines are available for this use, Fusogard®, marketed by Novartis Animal Health, and Centurion™ marketed by Schering-Plough Animal Health. Our objectives were to evaluate the efficacy of these vaccines to prevent liver abscesses in finishing cattle not fed antimicrobials or ionophores, and to evaluate the impact of liver abscesses at harvest on previous feedlot performance and carcass characteristics.

description: Domains in BaTiO$_3$ induces a regular modulation of uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in CoFeB via an inverse magnetostriction effect. As a result, the domain structures of the CoFeB wedge film and BaTiO$_3$ substrate correlate fully and straight ferroelectric domain boundaries in BaTiO$_3$ pin magnetic domain walls in CoFeB. We use x-ray photoemission electron microscopy and magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy to characterize the spin structure of the pinned domain walls. In a rotating magnetic field, abrupt and reversible transitions between two domain wall types occur, namely, narrow walls where the magnetization vectors align head-to-tail and much broader walls with alternating head-to-head and tail-to-tail magnetization configurations. We characterize variations of the domain wall spin structure as a function of magnetic field strength and CoFeB film thickness and compare the experimental results with micromagnetic simulations.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Previous tagging studies of the thornback ray, Raja clavata L., in the North Sea have suggested that these form local sub-populations, between which little exchange of individuals is thought to occur (Walker et al. 1997). This feature of the biology of thornback rays coupled with late maturation and low fecundity make these fish highly vulnerable to localised extinction due to fishery exploitation. A significant decline in the abundance of a range of commercially exploited elasmobranchs has further highlighted a growing need for sustainable management strategies. Towards this end, a total of 197 thornback rays (Figure 1) were tagged with electronic data storage tags (DSTs) and released in the Thames Estuary (ICES Div. IVc) in 1999 and 2000 (Figure 2).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In vitro cell bioassays, used on their own or in combination with bioassay-directed analysis, are useful biological effect techniques when used to inform marine ecosystem management decisions. Five applied examples are used to demonstrate this; in vitro yeast oestrogen screen characterisation of offshore produced water effluents, in vitro CALUX®, YES and Mutatox™ characterisation of estuarine sediments, bioassay-directed analysis of produced water effluents for oestrogen receptor agonists, bioassay-directed analysis of marine sediments for potential genotoxins and bioassay-directed analysis of waste water effluents and estuarine surface waters for androgen and oestrogen receptor agonists. The examples demonstrate how in vitro cell bioassays are sensitive, specific, and rapid bio-analytical tools that can account for interactions between compounds as well as those for which activity is unknown. Bioassay-directed analysis allows these unknowns to be identified whilst also allowing sources to be identified. Used as part of an integrated approach, knowing which substances represent a hazard is crucial in assessing the risk posed by hazardous substances to marine ecosystems.

description: Ketosis in postpartum dairy cows is often treated by intravenous administration of 50% dextrose solution. Intravenous administration of dextrose to humans increases urinary excretion of calcium, potassium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Low blood levels of these electrolytes have been associated with recumbency in dairy cows. The objective of this study was to determine whether intravenous bolus treatment with 50% dextrose solution would decrease serum electrolyte levels in postpartum Holstein cows.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In the UK, the licensing of dredged material disposal at sea is regulated under the Food & Environmental Protection Act (FEPA). The Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is the licensing authority for England and Wales and CEFAS provides advice to Defra prior to each licence being granted. Currently, this advice draws on historical and background information together with routine determination of a suite of chemicals in dredged material to ensure contaminant concentrations do not represent an unacceptable hazard to the marine environment. It has been recognised that the UK licensing scheme needs to be expanded to include direct biological testing. To address this issue a project was initiated to develop the practical application of biological tests for incorporation into a risk assessment protocol for the assessment of dredged material. A large ecotoxicological data set, derived from biological testing of 80 dredged material samples was used as a basis for the initial development of the risk assessment protocol. Statistical analysis of the ecotoxicological data was carried out to explore statistical relationships with key contaminants likely to cause the toxicity, provide information on sampling strategy, site selection and to determine whether the data set is robust and adequate for use in developing a risk assessment protocol. The whole sediment bioassays using the amphipod Corophium volutator and the polychaete Arenicola marina were chosen as the primary biological tools in the developing risk assessment protocol. A CEFAS strategy for assessing dredged material acceptability for disposal at sea was successfully developed, which is a hybrid between two possible extreme strategies, precautionary and risk-limiting. The protocol is sufficiently developed to allow its use in supplementing assessments of the acceptability of dredged material for disposal and was introduced into the assessment process as a pilot scheme in April 2002. Procedures for testing for bioaccumulation of hazardous substances were also developed for incorporation into Tier 3 assessments, in order to evaluate potential long-term environmental impacts of dredged material.

description: The crystal structure of bulk SrTiO$_3$(STO) transitions from cubic to tetragonal at around 105K. Recent local scanning probe measurements of LaAlO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ (LAO/STO) interfaces indicated the existence of spatially inhomogeneous electrical current paths and electrostatic potential associated with the structural domain formation in the tetragonal phase of STO. However, how these effects impact the electron conduction in LAO/STO devices has not been fully studied. Here we report a study of temperature dependent electronic transport in combination with the polarized light microscopy of structural domains in mesoscopic scale LAO/STO devices. By reducing the spatial size of the conductive interface to be comparable to the size of a single tetragonal domain of STO, the anisotropy of interfacial electron conduction in relationship to the domain wall and its direction was characterized in the temperature range $T$=10-300K. It was found that the four-point resistance measured with current parallel to the domain wall in device is larger than the resistance measured perpendicular to the domain wall. This observation is qualitatively consistent with the current diverting effect from a more conductive domain wall within the sample. Among all the samples studied, the maximum resistance ratio found is at least 10 and could be as large as 10$^5$ at $T$=10K. This electronic anisotropy may have implications on other oxide hetero-interfaces and the further understanding of electronic/magnetic phenomena found in LAO/STO.

description: Flight delay happens every day in airports all over the world. However, systemic investigation in large scales remains a challenge. We collect primary data of domestic departure records from Bureau of Transportation Statistics of United States, and do empirical statistics with them in form of complementary cumulative distributions functions (CCDFs) and transmission function of the delays. Fourteen main airlines are characterized by two types of CCDFs: shifted power-law and exponentially truncated shifted power-law. By setting up two phenomenological models based on mean-field approximation in temporal regime, we convert effect from other delay factors into a propagation one. Three parameters meaningful in measuring airlines emerge as universal metrics. Moreover, method used here could become a novel approach to revealing practical meanings hidden in temporal big data in wide fields.

description: The TRAPPIST-1 system offers the opportunity to characterize terrestrial, potentially habitable planets orbiting a nearby ultracool dwarf star. We performed a four-orbit reconnaissance with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph onboard the Hubble Space Telescope to study the stellar emission at Lyman-$α$, to assess the presence of hydrogen exospheres around the two inner planets, and to determine their UV irradiation. We detect the Lyman-$α$ line of TRAPPIST-1, making it the coldest exoplanet host star for which this line has been measured. We reconstruct the intrinsic line profile, showing that it lacks broad wings and is much fainter than expected from the stellar X-ray emission. TRAPPIST-1 has a similar X-ray emission as Proxima Cen but a much lower Ly-$α$ emission. This suggests that TRAPPIST-1 chromosphere is only moderately active compared to its transition region and corona. We estimated the atmospheric mass loss rates for all planets, and found that despite a moderate extreme UV emission the total XUV irradiation could be strong enough to strip the atmospheres of the inner planets in a few billions years. We detect marginal flux decreases at the times of TRAPPIST-1b and c transits, which might originate from stellar activity, but could also hint at the presence of extended hydrogen exospheres. Understanding the origin of these Lyman-$α$ variations will be crucial in assessing the atmospheric stability and potential habitability of the TRAPPIST-1 planets.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Generally, the majority of the Polish coastal area belongs to an open, exposed part of the Baltic Sea. Due to high dynamics and good mixing conditions, this area can be regarded as “clean' and representative of the environmental conditions of the southern Baltic Sea. However, some areas of the Polish coast, namely the Gulf of Gdansk, are subjected to strong anthropogenic pressure from the Vistula River load and domestic and industrial discharges from the large Tri-City agglomeration. As a result, the Polish coastal area provides scientists with the opportunity to study samples from “clean' and “polluted' areas. The aim of the present study was to examine the usefulness of selected enzymes activity measurements in flounder, Platichthys flesus, as a potential biomarker of chemical contamination in the Polish coastal area of the Baltic Sea. The fish were collected from known pollution gradients and from reference areas regarded as relatively free of anthropogenic input. Muscular acetylcholinesterase, hepatic glutathione S-transferase and hepatic ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase activities were measured in each sampled specimen of flounder. Generalized linear models (GLM) were used to analyze the dependence of the enzyme activity on sampling year and area as well as on the biological parameters of the fish. General, but clear, patterns of induction/inhibition have emerged from the three annual datasets. The results of the study will be discussed in the context of their relevance to the monitoring of biological effects of contaminants in the southern Baltic Sea.

description: This paper proposes a novel method to automatically enforce controls and limits for Voltage Source Converter (VSC) based multi-terminal HVDC in the Newton power flow iteration process. A general VSC MT-HVDC model with primary PQ or PV control and secondary voltage control is formulated. Both the dependent and independent variables are included in the propose formulation so that the algebraic variables of the VSC MT-HVDC are adjusted simultaneously. The proposed method also maintains the number of equations and the dimension of the Jacobian matrix unchanged so that, when a limit is reached and a control is released, the Jacobian needs no re-factorization. Simulations on the IEEE 14-bus and Polish 9241-bus systems are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

description: The aim of the present contribution is to provide a framework for analyzing and visualizing the correlated many-electron dynamics of molecular systems, where an explicitly time-dependent electronic wave packet is represented as a linear combination of $N$-electron wave functions. The central quantity of interest is the electronic flux density, which contains all information about the transient electronic density, the associated phase, and their temporal evolution. It is computed from the associated one-electron operator by reducing the multi-determinantal, many-electron wave packet using the Slater-Condon rules. Here, we introduce a general tool for post-processing multi-determinant configuration-interaction wave functions obtained at various levels of theory. It is tailored to extract directly the data from the output of standard quantum chemistry packages using atom-centered Gaussian-type basis functions. The procedure is implemented in the open-source Python program detCI@ORBKIT, which shares and builds upon the modular design of our recently published post-processing toolbox [J. Comput. Chem. 37 (2016) 1511]. The new procedure is applied to ultrafast charge migration processes in different molecular systems, demonstrating its broad applicability. Convergence of the $N$-electron dynamics with respect to the electronic structure theory level and basis set size is investigated. This provides an assessment of the robustness of qualitative and quantitative statements that can be made concerning dynamical features observed in charge migration simulations.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The European Community Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC is establishing a framework for Community action in the field of water policy. As a result of this action the concentrations of specific synthetic pollutants should be close to zero and of non-synthetic pollutants should remain within the range normally associated with undisturbed background conditions. The quality criteria and classification scheme: five classes, for Estonian coastal waters are developed on the Baltic herring and perch muscle tissue. At present time the contents of toxic chlororganic compounds remain below standards established by FAO/WHO in human food and does not cause symptoms of illness. By data of Ministery of Social Affairs the fish and/or fish preparations have conceive a moderate part in estimated Estonian minimum food basket: 2.4 kg per person in a month. The main time for perch fishery are in May (spawning time), when about 50% and in September, when about 30% of annual catches have been taken out. During the maturation (from October till May) the concentrations of DDT and HCH increase and after every spawning the concentrations decrease in a perch. There are also observed differences in concentrations of toxicants in a perch living in different areas of coastal sea. Availability of ecologically clean food becomes year by year more difficult and expensive. Tendencies, mentioned before, give a good base to compose a right price for clean fish and so for some changes in traditional fisheries management as well.

description: The first-passage time (FPT), defined as the time a random walker takes to reach a target point in a confining domain, is a key quantity in the theory of stochastic processes. Its importance comes from its crucial role to quantify the efficiency of processes as varied as diffusion-limited reactions, target search processes or spreading of diseases. Most methods to determine the FPT properties in confined domains have been limited to Markovian (memoryless) processes. However, as soon as the random walker interacts with its environment, memory effects can not be neglected. Examples of non Markovian dynamics include single-file diffusion in narrow channels or the motion of a tracer particle either attached to a polymeric chain or diffusing in simple or complex fluids such as nematics \cite{turiv2013effect}, dense soft colloids or viscoelastic solution. Here, we introduce an analytical approach to calculate, in the limit of a large confining volume, the mean FPT of a Gaussian non-Markovian random walker to a target point. The non-Markovian features of the dynamics are encompassed by determining the statistical properties of the trajectory of the random walker in the future of the first-passage event, which are shown to govern the FPT kinetics.This analysis is applicable to a broad range of stochastic processes, possibly correlated at long-times. Our theoretical predictions are confirmed by numerical simulations for several examples of non-Markovian processes including the emblematic case of the Fractional Brownian Motion in one or higher dimensions. These results show, on the basis of Gaussian processes, the importance of memory effects in first-passage statistics of non-Markovian random walkers in confinement.

The driving of turbulence in simulations of molecular cloud formation and evolution

description: Molecular clouds are to a great extent influenced by turbulent motions in the gas. Numerical and observational studies indicate that the star formation rate and efficiency crucially depend on the mixture of solenoidal and compressive modes in the turbulent acceleration field, which can be quantified by the turbulent driving parameter b. For purely solenoidal (divergence-free) driving previous studies showed that b=1/3 and for entirely compressive (curl-free) driving b=1. In this study, we determine the evolution of the turbulent driving parameter b in magnetohydrodynamical simulations of molecular cloud formation and evolution. The clouds form due to the convergence of two flows of warm neutral gas. We explore different scenarios by varying the magnitude of the initial turbulent perturbations in the flows. We show that the driving mode of the turbulence within the cloud strongly fluctuates with time and exhibits no clear correlation with typical cloud properties, such as the cloud mass and the (Alfven) Mach number. We specifically find that $b$ strongly varies from b=0.3 to b=0.8 on timescales t<5 Myr, where the timescale and range of variation can change from cloud to cloud. This rapid change of b from solenoidal to compressive driving is primarily associated with global contraction of the cloud and subsequent onset of star formation. We conclude that the effective turbulence driving parameter should be treated as a free parameter that can vary from solenoidal to compressive in both time and space.
