description: Introduction: Prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMP) are electronic databases used by prescribers and pharmacists to monitor the use of high-risk prescription medications subject to extramedical use. This study aimed to explore how Australian pharmacists and prescribers are using PDMPs in practice and to gain an understanding of barriers to tool use, as well as practitioner recommendations to increase tool usability and uptake. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with pharmacists and prescribers who use a PDMP (n = 21). The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed. Results: The four themes that emerged were: (i) PDMP notifications combined with practitioner clinical judgement guide PDMP usability; (ii) practitioners use PDMPs to facilitate patient and practitioner communication; (iii) workflow systems integration impacts tool usability; and (iv) optimising PDMP information and data access including practitioner-tool engagement to improve tool uptake and usability. Discussion and Conclusions: Practitioners appreciate the value of PDMP information support for clinical decisions and patient communication. However, they also acknowledge the challenges to tool use and recommend improvements including enhanced workflow, systems integration, optimisation of tool information and national data sharing. Practitioners provide an important perspective on PDMP use in clinical practice. The findings can be drawn on by PDMP administrators to improve tool usefulness. Consequently, this may lead to an increase in practitioner PDMP use and optimise the delivery of quality patient care.

How many interchanges does the selection sort make for iid geometric(p) input?

Subjects: subject: Computation (stat.CO)

description: The note derives an expression for the number of interchanges made by selection sort when the sorting elements are iid variates from geometric distribution. Empirical results reveal we can work with a simpler model compared to what is suggestive in theory. The morale is that statistical analysis of an algorithm's complexity has something to offer in its own right and should be therefore ventured not with a predetermined mindset to verify what we already know in theory. Herein also lies the concept of an empirical O, a novel although subjective bound estimate over a finite input range obtained by running computer experiments. For an arbitrary algorithm, where theoretical results could be tedious, this could be of greater use.

A Unified Model of Shariah Indices for Human Development and Prosperity

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 4407
subject: Policy and administration

description: In recent years, several attempts have been made to measure human prosperity using shariah objectives. These, however, have failed to propose a unified model that incorporates the ‘means to achieve these objectives’. This paper attempts to fill this gap by arguing that a large proportion of shariah-led prosperity measures are in line with the United Nations’ Millennium and Sustainable Development (MSD) goals to achieve global development targets and reduce poverty. This paper proposes a global unified model for a human development index that identifies existing development data that can be utilised in accordance with the objectives of shariah. The proposed model attempts to build a bridge between shariah-based Islamic development indices and MSD goals to achieve prosperity via religiosity.

Improving carrier phase reacquisition time using advanced receiver architectures
Creators: name: Xie, Peng
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2010

description: Bibliography: p. 126-131
description: A frequency lock loop (FLL) and a phase lock loop (PLL) are used to track the carrier in a GNSS receiver. In order to meet the most stringent positioning and navigation requirements, several receiver architectures have been proposed for global navigation satellite system (GNSS) including stand-alone receivers or GNSS receivers integrated with inertial navigation systems (INS). Basically, there are four receiver architectures, namely, standard receivers, estimator-based receivers, vector-based receivers, and ultratight receivers. The objective of this work is to reduce the camer phase reacquisition time usmg advanced receiver architectures. This paper looks at how different receiver architectures can be used or modified to more rapidly reacquire carrier phase tracking, thus providing more measurements that can be used for high-accuracy positioning applications. This contrasts with other work which has focused more on reacquiring range capability. Specifically, a piece-wise control method and a phase prediction architecture are proposed. The piece-wise method takes advantage of different parameters in the control system to produce different transition performance within the tracking loop. With this in mind, the approach divides the reacquisition process into separate periods each with different control system parameters in order to achieve a faster transition process. In the phase prediction architecture, carrier phase measurements are predicted for satellites that have lost lock by integrating the estimated Doppler computed from the navigation solution. Predicted phase quality is evaluated in both empirical and theoretical ways. All algorithms are tested usmg real data collected under mild to moderate operational conditions.

The density profiles, momentum distribution, occupation distribution and occupations of the lowest natural orbital are obtained for different statistical parameters. The density profiles of anyons display the same behaviors irrespective of statistical parameter in the full evolving period. While the behaviors dependent on statistical property are shown in the momentum distributions and occupations of natural orbitals.

Memory, political culture and institutional change : a comparative perspective
Creators: name: Pasquino, Gianfranco
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: The scope of my project is ambitious, probably excessively so. I would like to identify those elements of memory that impinge upon the political culture both of the elites and of the citizens and exercise an impact on (the construction of) the institutions. Memories of past political occurrences which according to the interpretation by specific and significant social groups (and/or influential elites) are defined extremely important and dramatic significantly contribute to the shaping of political culture, opening and/or foreclosing alternative paths to change. My initial hypothesis is those interpretations are especially significant when they refer to dramatic events whose recurrence must be prevented. In a way, they may be structured as warning memories or negative memories. My intervening hypothesis is that, when there are several carriers of different memories who try to affect institutional change, it is more likely that the winners will be those who promise change, perhaps, a limited amount of change, with respect to the past. My concluding hypothesis is that, nevertheless, even defeated memories will maintain a presence in the political culture at large or of some specific groups, provided they are enshrined in a political organization.

description: Two non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonian systems are reconsidered by means of the algebraic method which was originally proposed for the pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonian systems rather than for the PT-symmetric ones. Compared with the way converting a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian to its Hermitian counterpart, this method has the merit that keeps the Hilbert space of the non-Hermitian PT-symmetric Hamiltonian unchanged. In order to give the positive definite inner product for the PT-symmetric systems, a new operator V, instead of C, can be introduced. The operator V has the similar function to the operator C adopted normally in the PT-symmetric quantum mechanics, however, it can be constructed, as an advantage, directly in terms of Hamiltonians. The spectra of the two non-Hermitian PT-symmetric systems are obtained, which coincide with that given in literature, and in particular, the Hilbert spaces associated with positive definite inner products are worked out.

Of language and the lodestone

Year: 2003

description: "In 1564 in the small Northern Italian city of Modena, a certain Antonia Vignola was brought to trial for having asked a local priest to baptize a magnet in her possession, her intention having been to attract a handsome townsman through a lodestone christened with his name. Modena’s master goldsmith, asked by the court to comment upon the confiscated stone, explained what was evidently a widespread practice amongst both the laity and the lower orders of the clergy: 'It is generally held that a white magnet can be used for amatory incantations by touching the person’s skin. However, the magnet does not have this power unless it is baptized or enchanted by holy things.' Those who performed the rite combined familiar sacramental language with nomina barbara or “unheard of words,” foreign utterances whose force lay in sound rather than in semantic sense. That the magnet’s attractive powers were somehow augmented by barbarism and baptism— in a ceremony complete with a priest, holy oil, and godparents—was of peculiar concern to Italian Inquisitors of the mid- to late sixteenth century; that various members of the clergy sometimes used these esperimenti ad amorem to pursue their own affairs was a particular embarrassment."
A programmable-gain amplifier and an active inductor for in-vehicle power line communications
Creators: name: Zhang, Xiaolang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In-vehicle power-line communication (VPLC) is a communication technique that uses the power lines of the vehicle for data transmission. Based on the measurements of the power line communication channel, the channel response is characterized as frequency selective, time and location dependent with high signal attenuation. Also, the access impedance changes a lot in different frequency ranges. These properties impose design challenges at both system level and circuit levels of a VPLC system. This thesis presents the design of two critical building blocks of a VPLC system, namely, a variable gain amplifier (VGA) and an active inductor. VGAs are used to amplify the signal to a predefined level without introducing too much distortion. The presented VGA design targets a 0.13μm CMOS technology. The VGA design is discussed in detail. Gm-boosting technique is used to both increases the linearity and provide a programmable 0 dB to 60 dB gain over a broadband. Furthermore, the gain is stable over a wide range of temperatures. The circuit is fabricated and tested, and the measured results are in good agreement with the simulation results. Inductors are commonly used in impedance matching networks. In this work, an active inductor circuit is designed which provides a wide tuning range for VPLC LC matching networks. Active inductor is a good candidate to replace the passive inductor in the LC matching network since it has a smaller area, wider tuning range, and a higher quality-factor. The designed active inductor is a fully differential grounded Gyrator-C active inductor. Simulation results confirm that the inductor has wide tuning range with linear tuning ability; however, its bandwidth is limited. The circuit design for this VPLC system is challenging, the preliminary results of the proposed circuits show some promise; however, further work is still needed to improve the performance.

A carbon dioxide absorpiton performance evaluation for capture from ambient air

description: Bibliography: p. 93-95
description: Some pages are in colour.
description: "Air capture" is a proposed technology that could enable industrial-scale extraction of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and could offer benefits as a cost-effective tool to manage the risks associated with climate change. Previous work has quantified the C02 absorption performance but has not examined energy requirements associated with competing absorber geometries. Through analytical work, I have calculated C02 flux values for absorption into strong sodium hydroxide solutions, and I have measured fluxes experimentally in a range of conditions and geometries and have observed typical C02 absorption fluxes of ~20 ?mol/m2s, in rough agreement with previous literature. Through simulation, I have demonstrated that contactor geometries which induce turbulent air-side transport of C02 in order to increase absorption do so at an expense of increased energy dissipation, and that current structured packing materials may introduce too much turbulent mixing making them sub-optimal for air capture applications.

description: This thesis provides a comprehensive study of the properties of a specific type of a wakefield dechirper: a rectangular waveguide coated with dielectrics. Here, a semi-analytical model of the dechirper is developed and then implemented in the programming language Python. The programme is then used to perform parameter studies regarding the geometrical and dielectric properties of the dechirper. As a last step, a prototype dechirper is introduced. The results of experiments carried out with this prototype are presented and compared to simulations performed with the developed programme.

A matter of quality?: candidates in Canadian consituency elections

description: Bibliography: p. 265-274
description: Most students of Canadian elections emphasize the role of national campaigns in deciding the outcome of these elections. I challenge this orthodoxy as incomplete and argue that we need to pay more attention to who runs for Parliament. Without studying what happens in the constituencies and among the individuals who seek to become parliamentarians, we cannot fully understand the process of Canadian electoral politics. For that reason, I shine some light on the hundreds of individuals who run for Canada's Parliament during each general election. In doing so, I seek to identify the ways in which candidates might matter in Canada and then test a number of hypotheses related to their effect on Canadian elections. This study is the first empirical examination of the role candidates play in Canadian elections. I classify candidates as being either quality or non-quality based on their previous political experience and occupation. The American political science literature suggests that quality candidates are better candidates. They raise and spend more money; they attract more volunteers; and, they are more likely to win their elections. Testing this American concept on the 2004, 2006, and 2008 Canadian General Elections, I find that American findings hold true in Canada. Quality candidates, in contrast to non-quality candidates, are more strategic and nm when conditions are favourable. They also raise more money and perform better on Election Day, all else being equal.

description: The ongoing searches for Higgs-boson signals in data taken at the CERN LHC and the Fermilab Tevatron crucially rely on the decay channels H -> Z l l and H -> W l nu. We present a precision study of the partial widths of these decay channels including the full one-loop electroweak corrections and the dominant contributions at two and three loops, of O(G_F^2 m_t^4), O(G_F m_t^2 alpha_s), and O(G_F m_t^2 alpha_s^2). Since the invariant mass of the off-shell intermediate boson is relatively low in the mass window 115 GeV < m_H < 129 GeV of current interest, lepton mass effects are relevant, especially for the tau lepton.

description: In this article we present a simple theoretical framework where the origin of the mu-term and the matter-parity violating interactions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model can be understood from the spontaneous breaking of new Abelian gauge symmetries. In this context the masses of the Z' gauge bosons, the M-parity violating scale and the mu-term are determined by the supersymmetry breaking scale. The full spectrum of the theory is discussed in detail. We investigate the predictions for the Higgs masses in detail showing that it is possible to satisfy the LEP2 bounds even with sub-TeV squark masses. The model predicts the existence of light colored fields, lepton and baryon number violation, and new neutral gauge bosons at the Large Hadron Collider.

description: Health communication is a growing field of research under interpersonal and family communication. Gaining enough health information is primarily the duty of healthcare providers. However, our immediate source of health information is family members; but most people decide to privatize and keep their health information from other relatives. The criterion for withholding health information, what contributes to the information shared, and how communication patterns affect health communication were all examined to understand the reasons behind this action. This qualitative study used the narrations on health communication from various families to form themes. In addition, responses were mostly from non-Western cultures, which helps to expand the applicability of the theory used. Some of the results were consistent with the criteria within the theory. However, other criteria were found that expand the theory in relation to health information. The new criteria found were when disclosing the information, age matter, I don’t understand the condition myself so how can my family, the number of people in the family matters. Also, reasons such as anticipated reactions from family members, and the severity of the condition came up when exploring what impacts how much health information family members share with one another. Finally, the frequency of communication and the initiator of conservations were found to influence health communication in families. To conclude, healthy communication in the family may impact individual communication on health.

description: Die allgemeine, öffentliche Erwachsenenbildung folgt traditionell dem (inklusiven) Prinzip einer Bildung für Alle. Fragen der Bildungsbenachteiligung, Zielgruppendifferenzierung oder Heterogenität werden sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Praxis virulent. Diskussionen über eine Steigerung der Bildungsteilnahme von Menschen mit Behinderung finden hingegen eher zögerlich statt und werden vermehrt seit der Ratifizierung der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention in Deutschland geführt. Die Qualifizierung des Personals – häufig konkretisiert in Fortbildungen – stellt dabei ein zentrales Element für eine inklusive Ausrichtung der allgemeinen, öffentlichen Erwachsenenbildung dar. Der Beitrag behandelt die Frage, wie sich die aktuelle Fortbildungspraxis zu Inklusion gestaltet. Auf der Grundlage empirischer Teilergebnisse eines Projekts zur inklusiven Erwachsenenbildung werden Umsetzungsrealitäten vorgestellt und Impulse für eine Professionalitätsentwicklung diskutiert. Die Befunde beziehen sich auf das institutionelle Feld von Volkshochschule und werden am Beispiel der Fortbildungspraxis von Kursleitungen eruiert. Aus einer Organisationsperspektive werden Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen einer Professionalitätsentwicklung für eine inklusive Erwachsenenbildung – im Besonderen von Lehrpersonal an Volkshochschulen – erfasst. Abstract General public adult education traditionally follows the (inclusive) principle of education for all. Questions of educational disadvantage target group differentiation or heterogeneity are virulent in both science and practice. Discussions about increasing the participation of people with disabilities are rather hesitant and have been held more and more since the ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Germany. The qualification of staff often specified in further training is a key element for the inclusive orientation of general public adult education. The article deals with the question of how the current training practice on inclusion is organised. On the basis of empirical partial results of a project on inclusive adult education implementation realities are presented and impulses for a professional development are discussed. The findings relate to the institutional field of adult education centres and are determined by using the example of the continuing training practice of course leaders. From an organisational perspective opportunities and challenges for professional development for inclusive adult education in particular teaching staff at adult education centres are covered.

description: In this work, a new method for adaptive control of plants with input saturation is presented. The new anti-windup scheme can be shown to result in bounded closed-loop states under certain conditions on the plant and the initial closed-loop states. As an improvement in comparison to existing methods in adaptive control, a new degree of freedom is introduced in the control scheme. It allows to improve the closed-loop response when actually encountering input saturation without changing the closed-loop performance for unconstrained inputs.

description: Bildung stellt eine zentrale Ressource dar, die für die Teilhabe in vielen Bereichen der Gesell­schaft von großer Bedeutung ist. Die Behindertenrechtskonvention fordert deshalb die gleichberechtigte Teilhabe für behinderte Menschen am Bildungssystem. Diese Forderung bezieht sich ausdrücklich auch auf die Erwachsenenbildung und damit auch auf den Zweiten Bildungsweg. Jedoch ist über den gemeinsamen Unterricht von behinderten und nichtbehinderten Kursteil­nehmenden im Zweiten Bildungsweg nur wenig bekannt. Dies ist umso erstaunlicher, da es gerade der Zweite Bildungsweg ist, der denjenigen behinderten Menschen eine zweite Chance zum Bildungserwerb eröffnen kann, die durch das Raster eines nicht, bzw. noch nicht vollständig inklusiven Schulsystems gefallen sind. Im folgenden Beitrag werden erste Befunde einer Untersuchung zur Handlungspraxis von Leitungs- und Lehrkräften im Zweiten Bildungsweg präsentiert. Hierbei soll die Frage diskutiert werden, welche Potenziale der Zweite Bildungsweg für eine Inklusive Erwachsenenbildung bietet. Grundlage hierfür bildet ein qualitativer Datensatz aus Gruppendiskussionen und Einzelinterviews. Abstract Education embodies an essential resource for the participation in many parts of the society. Therefore, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities calls for equal participation for disabled people in the education system. This demand explicitly refers to adult education and thus also to second chance education. However, little is known about joint teaching of disabled and non-disabled students in second chance education. Even so second chance education can provide a great opportunity of educational acquisition for disabled people who have fallen through the cracks of a school system, which is still not fully inclusive. The following article describes the first results of a research on the practice of action of headmasters and teachers in the second chance education. The main focus is thereby, which potentials the second chance education offers for an inclusive adult education. The basis for this research is a qualitative data set consisting of group discussions and individual interviews.

description: Die Etablierung inklusionsorientierter Hochschulbildung stellt einen elementaren Bereich der Erwachsenenbildung dar. Ein gemeinsames Lernen von Menschen mit und ohne Behinderungserfahrungen in regulären universitären Veranstaltungen ist dabei im deutschsprachigen Raum bisher nur in wenigen Ansätzen vorhanden. Auch wenn dies nur ein Baustein inklusionsorientierter Hochschulentwicklung sein kann, ist diese Perspektive bedeutsam zur Aufdeckung und Reflexion exklusiver Strukturen, Kulturen und Praktiken in einer bisher stark separierenden Institution. Anhand von Erfahrungen gemeinsamer Seminarbesuche im Rahmen des Hochschulprojektes QuaBIS wurden Sichtweisen der Qualifizierungsteilnehmer*innen und regulärer Studierender mit Bezug zum Index für Inklusion (Booth & Ainscow, 2017) erfasst und ausgewertet. Dabei zeigen sich neben einer großen Offenheit für die Realisierung partizipativer Lernerfahrungen ebenso offene Fragen, denen sich eine inklusionsorientierte Erwachsenenbildung im Hochschulbereich stellen muss. Abstract The establishment of inclusion-oriented higher education is a fundamental part of adult education. In German-speaking countries, there are only a few approaches to joint learning by people with and without experience of disability in regular university courses. Even if this can only be one component of inclusion-oriented higher education development, this perspective is important for uncovering and reflecting on exclusive structures, cultures and practices in an institution that has so far been highly divisive. Based on experiences of joint seminar visits within the framework of the university project QuaBIS, the views of project participants* and regular students with reference to the Index for Inclusion (Booth & Ainscow, 2017) were recorded and evaluated. In addition to a great openness to the realisation of participatory learning experiences, there are also open questions that inclusion-oriented adult education in higher education must address.

description: "My project at the Italian Academy has, as its point of departure, my doctoral dissertation. I am working at the realization of a book containing the complete edition of the neo-Gregorian chant repertory for the Mass in southern Italy (9th-12th cent.), and a prefatory essay in which I analyze stylistic features of texts and melodies, patterns of diffusion of the repertory in medieval sources, and issues of oral and written transmission."
Italian mosaicists and terrazzo workers in New York City : estimating the size, characteristic and structure of a high-skill building trade
Creators: name: Grossutti, Javier

Tracing lineages in Italian culture : modes of viewing from Vasari to film and television culture
Creators: name: White, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2002
Subjects: Europeans

description: The matters I am going to discuss involve in their widest implications considerations of our epistemologies of knowledge, and our devices or technologies for bringing distant and sometimes abstruse aspects of the world into some frame of reference and mode for viewing. Later on I shall call this frame and mode a ‘cultural cosmorama’, grounding that notion in an account of actual optic boxes of the late eighteenth/early nineteenth century.
Coverage-adjusted confidence intervals for a binomial proportion

description: We consider the classic problem of interval estimation of a proportion $p$ based on binomial sampling. The "exact" Clopper-Pearson confidence interval for $p$ is known to be unnecessarily conservative. We propose coverage-adjustments of the Clopper-Pearson interval using prior and posterior distributions of $p$. The adjusted intervals have improved coverage and are often shorter than competing intervals found in the literature. Using new heatmap-type plots for comparing confidence intervals, we find that the coverage-adjusted intervals are particularly suitable for $p$ close to 0 or 1.

Dante, Sanudo and Polo : from the Crusades to the perpetuation of early modern descriptions of the East as a literary genre
Creators: name: Espada, Antonio Garcia
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Romance literature
Europeans
Literature, Medieval

description: My research focuses on the literary texts of the first half of the fourteenth century, such as those by Marco Polo and Odorico of Pordenone, which opened the path to the geographical and cultural exploration of the East in Early Modern Europe. In less than fifty years, a considerable number of innovative and successful travel accounts marked a sharp rupture with the previous thousand years of indifference towards the empirical description of Eastern lands provided either by Arab geographies, Greek and Roman cosmographies or even the accounts of European travelers to Asia such as Benjamin of Tudela in the twelfth century and John of Pian Carpini and William of Rubruck in the thirteenth century.

description: Seit Beginn der überlieferten Geschlechtsschreibung gilt Geschlecht – in der Ausprägung männlich und weiblich – als Konstante und unhinterfragbares und auch unhintergehbares Faktum (Gildemeister/Wetterer 1995: 201). Zweigeschlechtlichkeit strukturiert unseren Alltag. Es gibt sportliche Wettbewerbe für Männer und für Frauen, Männer- und Frauentees, Rasierer und sogar geschlechtsspezifisches Duschgel. Die Genitalien gelten als deutliches Unterscheidungsmerkmal (Kessler/McKenna 1978). Wenn der Körper aber keinen Aufschluss über das Geschlecht eines Menschen gibt, führt dies zu Verunsicherung. So auch bei Eltern intergeschlechtlicher Kinder. In meiner qualitativen Studie zum Alltagserleben von Eltern intergeschlechtlicher Kinder habe ich Eltern zu ihren Erfahrungen interviewt. Im Folgenden möchte ich die wichtigsten Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit vorstellen.
