description: Abstract Aim: To compare the strengths and limitations of different offloading devices in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. Method: Systematic review. Background: Diabetes is a chronic disease where neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease, associated with foot deformity, trauma and high plantar pressures contribute to the development of foot ulceration. For those with existing ulcers, if the foot is subject to continuous high pressures, tissue damage persists and healing will be impaired. Therefore, the use of offloading devices becomes fundamental for the treatment of these ulcers. Findings: Following a systematic search of the literature, 14 studies were included in this review. Healing rates, healing times and reduction in ulcer size were improved with the use of total contact casting, compared with other offloading devices. The main adverse effects associated with use of the device were infection, maceration and abrasion. Cost, compliance and quality of life issues were rarely included within the studies. Conclusion: Offloading is a key treatment strategy for the management of diabetic foot ulceration and total contact casts were found to be the most effective devices to achieve ulcer healing. However, they are not without complications and further, their impact on cost, compliance and quality of life is not well understood.

description: Recent results on standard solar models are reviewed. I shall summarize briefly three of the themes that I stressed at the Neutrino '92 Conference: 1) Different solar model codes give the same answers when the same input data are used; 2) Improved calculations of standard solar models include helium diffusion, the Livermore radiative opacity, the meteoritic iron abundance, and a variety of other corrections; and 3) There are a few basic rules that should be followed in using standard solar models. At the Neutrino '92 Conference, I reviewed in more detail the recent work on standard solar models by Marc Pinsonneault and myself. This work has by now appeared in print (Rev. Mod. Phys. 64, 885, 1992, hereafter Paper I, and ApJ Letters, 69, 717, 1992, Paper II). Therefore, there is no need for me to repeat the details here.

description: Point Spread Function (PSF) engineering is used in single emitter localization to measure the emitter position in 3D and possibly other parameters such as the emission color or dipole orientation as well. Advanced PSF models such as spline fits to experimental PSFs or the vectorial PSF model can be used in the corresponding localization algorithms in order to model the intricate spot shape and deformations correctly. The complexity of the optical architecture and fit model makes PSF engineering approaches particularly sensitive to optical aberrations. Here, we present a calibration and alignment protocol for fluorescence microscopes equipped with a spatial light modulator (SLM) with the goal of establishing a wavefront error well below the diffraction limit for optimum application of complex engineered PSFs. We achieve high-precision wavefront control, to a level below 20 m$λ$ wavefront aberration over a 30 minute time window after the calibration procedure, using a separate light path for calibrating the pixel-to-pixel variations of the SLM, and alignment of the SLM with respect to the optical axis and Fourier plane within 3 $μ$m ($x/y$) and 100 $μ$m ($z$) error. Aberrations are retrieved from a fit of the vectorial PSF model to a bead $z$-stack and compensated with a residual wavefront error comparable to the error of the SLM calibration step. This well-calibrated and corrected setup makes it possible to create complex `3D+$λ$' PSFs that fit very well to the vectorial PSF model. Proof-of-principle bead experiments show precisions below 10~nm in $x$, $y$, and $λ$, and below 20~nm in $z$ over an axial range of 1 $μ$m with 2000 signal photons and 12 background photons.

description: We show that faint red stars do not contribute significantly to the mass budget of the Galaxy or to microlensing statistics. Our results are obtained by analyzing two long exposures of a high-latitude field taken with the Wide Field Camera on the newly repaired {\it Hubble Space Telescope}. Stars are easily distinguished from galaxies essentially to the limiting magnitudes of the images. We find five stars with $2.03.0$. Therefore, main-sequence stars with $M_I>10$ that are above the hydrogen-burning limit in the dark halo or the spheroid contribute $<6%$ of the unseen matter. Faint red disk stars, M-dwarfs, contribute at most $ 15%$ to the mass of the disk. We parameterize the faint end of the cumulative distribution of stars, $Φ$, as a function of luminosity $L_V$, $dΦ/d \ln L_V \propto L_V^{-γ}$. For spheroid stars, $γ<0.32$ over the range $6

These solutions carry winding number of the periodic scalar as well as magnetic flux. They induce violations of a quasi-topological conservation law which conserves the product of magnetic flux and winding number on the background spacetime. I extend these solutions to a model with stable loops of superconducting cosmic string, and interpret them as contributing to the decay of such loops.

description: Nuclear structure and reaction theory are undergoing a major renaissance with advances in many-body methods, strong interactions with greatly improved links to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the advent of high performance computing, and improved computational algorithms. Predictive power, with well-quantified uncertainty, is emerging from non-perturbative approaches along with the potential for new discoveries such as predicting nuclear phenomena before they are measured. We present an overview of some recent developments and discuss challenges that lie ahead. Our focus is on explorations of alternative truncation schemes in the harmonic oscillator basis, of which our Japanese--United States collaborative work on the No-Core Monte-Carlo Shell Model is an example. Collaborations with Professor Takaharu Otsuka and his group have been instrumental in these developments.

description: Entrepreneurs are individuals who combine production factors, aim to profit and take risks. Thanks to entrepreneurship, new goods and services are produced, employment is created and economic development can be achieved. Entrepreneurship is among the factors of production. The main task of the entrepreneur is bring together the factors of production and use them in production. The development of new business ideas and the establishment of new businesses are very important for economic development. For this reason, increasing the number of entrepreneurs and educating individuals about entrepreneurship are considered important in terms of contributing to economic development. In the past, while entrepreneurship activities were leading men, women's entrepreneurship activities have been carried out intensively in recent years. In order to achieve agricultural and rural development, women and men must participate in production and create added value. Entrepreneurship has important contributions to rural women including economic, social and cultural dimensions. Women entrepreneurship contributes to economic development by creating employment. Thanks to women's entrepreneurship women's income increases and women gain economic freedom. By means of entrepreneurship, women's self-confidence and participation in social life are increasing. The main purpose of this study is to determine the entrepreneurship status of women working in the agricultural sector. In the study, the advantages and disadvantages of the entrepreneurship activities in agriculture were examined and suggestions were made for the development of women's entrepreneurship in agriculture. In this context the survey was carried out with a face to face survey with a total of 110 female farmers living in the Besni district of Adıyaman province.

description: According to the data of the year 2019, Ziraat Bank, the largest bank in Turkey, was established in 1888. The foundation of the Bank is a summary of the reforms undertaken by the Ottoman state in agriculture and the problems it faced during this period. Memleketsandıkları was an improved solution to enable small farmers to access low-cost financing. Founded by Mithat Pasha in 1863, the memleketsandıklarıis considered as the first example of agricultural cooperatives. It is an organization model that allows farmers live in a specific region to gather funds and use these funds in accordance with certain rules. The project, which was implemented in the Ottoman state for 20 years, was restructured in 1863 due to lack of capital and corruption. In this context, the name of the memleketsandıkları was changed as menafisandıkları, a percentage added to the over ten percent tax from farmers in order to provide capital support and menafisandıkları were subject to the control of the Ministry of Commerce. Although menafisandıkları support agricultural activities and farmers, it was decided to establish Ziraat Bank as a result of the development of banking activities and a national bank search of State administrators. Menafisandıkları are transferred to the bank with their assets and liabilities. Thus, the process started with the memleketsandıklarıwas completed with the establishment of Ziraat Bank. Since its foundation, Ziraat Bank has been an alternative source of funding for farmers and has supported farmers financially. In the bank's contract of association, it was decided to allocate one third of the bank's profits to the capital while two thirds to be used for agricultural reforms. This fund has made significant contributions to the implementation of agricultural reforms in the Ottoman Empire. In addition, Ziraat Bank was institutionalized as a bank and encouraged structural developments in the agricultural sector. The aim of this study is to present the process of establishment of Ziraat Bank, which is shown as the first example of agricultural cooperatives.

description: We consider four-dimensional wormholes immersed in bosonic matter. While their existence is based on the presence of a phantom field, many of their interesting physical properties are bestowed upon them by an ordinary complex scalar field, which carries only a mass term, but no self-interactions. For instance, the rotation of the scalar field induces a rotation of the throat as well. Moreover, the bosonic matter need not be symmetrically distributed in both asymptotically flat regions, leading to symmetric and asymmetric rotating wormhole spacetimes. The presence of the rotating matter also allows for wormholes with a double throat.

The basic goal of the library is to raise its popularity, and to improve its image. The library is an important tool in the improvement of educational service quality and in the struggle for applicants. Libraries in the field of marketing have to solve two important problems: to carry out the activity to attract the necessary means, and to be enough competent to spend the money according to the mission and purposes of the existence, and to consider consumers" inquiries.
The Implementation of an Early Warning System to a Sub-Acute Unit

description: Changes in legislation and regulation inIrelandhave resulted in significant care of the elderly beds being incompatible with Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) standards regarding aging infrastructure. To ensure organisational viability, alternative deployment of these beds to sub-acute care, in line with Government policy is necessary. Additionally, hospitalised patients are in danger of experiencing deterioration at many points during their stay, a fact further compounded by this change in designation with lack of policy, procedure or protocol further exasperating patient risk. This change project outlines the introduction and implementation of an Early Warning System (EWS) to a twelve bedded sub-acute unit, utilising the Health service Executive (HSE) change model, based on the organisational development approach. A transformational leadership system is employed to establish this concept, progressing the team through training, development and reflection whilst engaging externally utilising an appropriate improvement framework. The change is then evaluated via a multi-method approach, outlining action necessary for future, further dissemination. The implementation of the EWS facilitated recognition of abnormal physiological considerations and prioritisation of care, enveloping the concept of continuous quality improvement by means of improved clinical reasoning skills and interdisciplinary communication. However, the success of the initiative was heavily dependent on considerable training, development and support over a two month period. To facilitate subsequent successful implementation elsewhere, will necessitate the allocation of specific resources, ensuring context driven interventions, training and evaluation. Such evidence will determine the effectiveness of the EWS in improving patient safety and preventing unsavoury patient outcomes, demonstrating the hospital’s ability to adequately care for this category of patient, standardising patient care and ensuring organisational sustainability in line with present Government strategy.

description: The bulk piezoelectric response, as measured by the piezoelectric modulus tensor (\textbf{d}), is determined by a combination of charge redistribution due to strain and the amount of strain produced by the application of stress (stiffness). Motivated by the notion that less stiff materials could exhibit large piezoelectric responses, herein we investigate the piezoelectric modulus of van der Waals-bonded quasi-2D ionic compounds using first-principles calculations. From a pool of 869 known binary and ternary quasi-2D materials, we have identified 135 non-centrosymmetric crystals of which 48 systems are found to have \textbf{d} components larger than the longitudinal piezoelectric modulus of AlN (a common piezoelectric for resonators), and three systems with the response greater than that of PbTiO$_3$, which is among the materials with largest known piezoelectric modulus. None of the identified materials have previously been considered for piezoelectric applications. Furthermore, we find that large \textbf{d} components always couple to the deformations (shearing or axial) of van der Waals "gaps" between the layers and are indeed enabled by the weak intra-layer interactions.

description: Implementing clinical audits is an internationally recognised way of getting evidence into practice. There is an increased emphasis towards conducting audits within the Health Service Executive. Drug Treatment Centre pharmacies, due to the nature of the specialised services that they provide, are situated at different sites, and variations in practices were expected and accepted. The aim of the project was to develop and implement an audit programme across eight pharmacies within an eight month period. The objectives were to design/develop and test the audit tool by collecting data across all pharmacies in collaboration with the staff. The HSE Change Model was used for implementing the project. The stages of initiation, planning, implementation and mainstreaming were followed. Both qualitative and quantitative tools were used to inform the change process. Resistance to change was managed by participation and involvement of the staff. The audit tool was successfully developed and tested by collecting data. A comparison of results of the first audit with the re-audit revealed positive progression towards standardisation. In conclusion, this project demonstrated the potential for improved practice standards through the development and implementation of a healthcare audit tool and process. Using a structured approach to the change process proved to be the success factor for sustained change delivery.

description: BACKGROUND

Clinical metagenomics is an emerging field with the potential to transforminfectious disease diagnostics. Clinical metagenomics analysis often includesa series of initial steps, including rapid taxonomic identification ofhigh-throughput sequencing (HTS) reads against known reference databases, denovo genome assembly for identification of database-unrepresented taxa, andfunctional screening for characteristics such as antimicrobial resistance.

As data throughput increases, clinical scientists need high-quality,efficient, automated pipelines that scale with increasing numbers of samplesand genomes, replicability to ensure data fidelity, and portability to handleexecution on a different computing infrastructure.

METHODS

The nf-core initiative aims to build community-based, software-developmentbest-practices and (bio)informatic pipelines written in the workflow managerlanguage Nextflow. A range of metagenomics-based pipelines have beendeveloped within the initiative to address primary analysis in a reproducibleand interoperable manner. Design decisions during the construction of thepipeline have drawn from established metagenomics procedures, but alsoexperiences from low-biomass ancient DNA metagenomics research.

RESULTS

I will introduce some of the nf-core pipeline offerings relevant for clinicalmetagenomics: (1) nf-core/taxprofiler for profiling microbial communitieswith potential for monitoring known and emerging pathogens, (2) nf-core/magfor metagenomic de novo genome assembly for identification of novel(potentially pathogenic) taxa, and (3) nf-core/funcscan for screening forgenes relating to antimicrobial resistance and natural product production.

Writing pipelines in Nextflow provides efficiency through integration withjob schedulers on HPC or the cloud, automatic retry of failed jobs, andreproducibility through software containers.

DISCUSSION

I will describe how the various pipelines can be used in an interoperablemanner to produce an end-to-end set of results relevant for clinicians instandardised and unified outputs. I will also show how nf-core aims to be asuser-friendly as possible, through extensive documentation, commoncommand-line and graphical-user interfaces, and interactive and customisableresult summaries.

description: We derive new limits on the elastic scattering cross-section between baryons and dark matter using Cosmic Microwave Background data from the Planck satellite and measurements of the Lyman-alpha forest flux power spectrum from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Our analysis addresses generic cross sections of the form $σ\propto v^n$, where v is the dark matter-baryon relative velocity, allowing for constraints on the cross section independent of specific particle physics models. We include high-$\ell$ polarization data from Planck in our analysis, improving over previous constraints. We apply a more careful treatment of dark matter thermal evolution than previously done, allowing us to extend our constraints down to dark matter masses of $\sim$MeV. We show in this work that cosmological probes are complementary to current direct detection and astrophysical searches.

description: We discuss both classical and semiclassical properties of extremal black holes in theories where the dilaton and a modulus field are present. We find that the corresponding 2-dim geometry is asymptotically anti-de Sitter rather then asymptotically flat as in the purely dilatonic case. This fact has many important consequences, which we analyze at length, both for the classical behaviour and for the thermodynamical properties of the black hole. We also study the Hawking evaporation process in the semiclassical approximation. The calculations strongly indicates the emergence of a stable ground state as the end point of the process. Some comments are made about the relevance of our results for the problem of information loss in black hole physics.

description: The desegregation of Lamar State College of Technology in Beaumont was marked by racial terror. The clash at Lamar climaxed a protracted antidiscrimination campaign that developed during the Second World War, escalated in 1949 when Lamar grew from a locally supported junior college to a state-supported senior college, and turned into a court battle in the wake of the victorious 1950 Supreme Court decision in Sweatt v. Painter which opened certain graduate and professional school programs at the University of Texas to African Americans. While in the book Advancing Democracy my focus is on documenting Lamar’s desegregation and situating the Beaumont-based struggle for access and equity in higher education in a larger statewide and national context, in this presentation I discuss one particular aspect in greater detail. Following the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, racial terror was deployed in response to efforts to desegregate postsecondary institutions in various parts of Texas. Terrorist activity and mob violence was successful in blocking efforts in Kilgore and Texarkana, as well as in stemming the organization of lawsuits in other areas, particularly in East Texas. Beaumont, however, was a different story altogether. The experience there calls into question the so-called Backlash Thesis.

description: This paper presents a modeling framework for schedulability analysis of distributed integrated modular avionics (DIMA) systems that consist of spatially distributed ARINC-653 modules connected by a unified AFDX network. We model a DIMA system as a set of stopwatch automata (SWA) in UPPAAL to analyze its schedulability by classical model checking (MC) and statistical model checking (SMC). The framework has been designed to enable three types of analysis: global SMC, global MC, and compositional MC. This allows an effective methodology including (1) quick schedulability falsification using global SMC analysis, (2) direct schedulability proofs using global MC analysis in simple cases, and (3) strict schedulability proofs using compositional MC analysis for larger state space. The framework is applied to the analysis of a concrete DIMA system.

The Theory of Kairons

description: In relativistic quantum mechanics wave functions of particles satisfy field equations that have initial data on a space--like hypersurface. We propose a dual field theory of ``wavicles'' that have their initial data on a time--like worldline. Propagation of such fields is superluminal, even though the Hilbert space of the solutions carries a unitary representation of the Poincare group of mass zero. We call the objects described by these field equations ``Kairons''. The paper builds the field equations in a general relativistic framework, allowing for a torsion. Kairon fields are section of a vector bundle over space-time. The bundle has infinite--dimensional fibres.

Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA) - implementing and sustaining discussions
Creators: name: Ifeoma N. Agbata
Publisher: name: Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
Year: 2019

description: This change project focused on increasing the awareness and understanding of the Enduring Power of Attorney among members of a regional Mental Health Team, patients and carers. In 2011, 1405 Wardship orders, a provision under the outdated Lunacy Regulations Ireland Act, 1871, were signed in Ireland as opposed to 440 appointed Enduring Powers of Attorney, under Irish Power of Attorney Act 1996. This suggests a probable lack of awareness or understanding and uptake of the provisions for advance care instructions. A pre-audit revealed less than half of a selected population of the Psychiatry of Old Age patients were aware of the Enduring Power of Attorney. The project entailed developing guidelines for implementing discussions on the Enduring Power of Attorney, developing an information booklet on the Enduring Power of Attorney, facilitating training and information sessions and incorporating measures for regular reviews of the implementation into existent organisational structures. Kotter’s eight step change model was utilised to guide the change process implementation. Also, SWOT analysis was integrated prior to, during and after the implementation of the change process. The change objectives were attained, as evidenced by the development of information booklet, and approval of standard guidelines for Enduring power of attorney discussions with inclusion and exclusion criteria. Increased EPA awareness was demonstrated by staff, and patients and carers feedbacks. Also, most staff felt confident or supported after change was implemented. Post Audit of practice after implementation of the change showed 100% compliance by the second contact with the patient.

Diffusion in translucent media

description: Diffusion is the result of repeated random scattering. It governs a wide range of phenomena from Brownian motion, to heat flow through window panes, neutron flux in fuel rods, dispersion of light in human tissue, and electronic conduction. It is universally acknowledged that the diffusion approach to describing wave transport fails in translucent samples thinner than the distance between scattering events such as are encountered in meteorology, astronomy, biomedicine and communications. Here we show in optical measurements and numerical simulations that the scaling of transmission and the intensity profiles of transmission eigenchannels have the same form in translucent as in opaque media. Paradoxically, the similarities in transport across translucent and opaque samples explain the puzzling observations of suppressed optical and ultrasonic delay times relative to predictions of diffusion theory well into the diffusive regime.

description: We present results for the effect of a second massive quark in the relation between the pole and the minimal subtracted quark mass at the three loop level. We also consider the analogous effect for the wave function renormalisation constant. Some technical details of the calculation are given. Our result is phenomenologically relevant for the bottom quark including virtual charm effects.

Implementation of Online Reporting form for Needle Stick Injury in the Accident and Emergency Department.
Creators: name: Abdulmahdi, Layla
Publisher: name: Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland
Year: 2019
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This proposed organizational development project is designed to implement online reporting system for needle stick injury in accident and emergency department. Needle stick report is a formal report written by practitioners, nurses, or other staff members (Hynes J, 2009). A previous survey was done to evaluate the prevalence of needle stick injury and reporting rate, showed a high rate of underreporting and this was the catalyst for proposing this project. Cause and effect model (fishbone) was used to cluster the main causes of underreporting by using the present hand writing form. This initiative was driven by the need to maintain a safe environment for the staff which is highly correlated with patient’ safety by replacing gradually the existed blaming culture to safety culture. The HSE change model (2008) guided the proposed methodology of the change process. The proposed short term objectives will be evaluated by using a system model of evaluation (1971) where the performance indicators are specified. The proposed long term objectives will be evaluated by using the Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model (1994) as it will guide the evaluation of the impact of the project from different aspects. This proposal recommends making the post exposure follow up and related vaccines as a requirement for renewal the license. Also, replacing the regular available needles with needless IV connector or self-re-sheathing needles that prevent needle stick injury.

description: We present an approach to finding distances to young supernova remnants. Our method is based on hydrodynamical simulations of Tycho's SNR using the SUPREMNA code. For the explosion models, we use the classical W7 deflagration model and the delayed detonation model that was previously shown to provide good fits to the X-ray emission of Tycho's SNR. Combining our hydrodynamical simulations with the Chandra high-resolution images of the remnant obtained in 2015, we derive a distance estimate to Tycho's SNR of $2.8\pm 0.4$ kpc.
