description: Taust ja eesmärk. Alkoholi liigtarvitamise varajane avastamine ja patsientide nõustamine perearstikeskuses võimaldab kaasa aidata patsiendi alkoholitarvitamise vähendamisele.  Perearstide ja -õdede hinnangul on tegemist Eesti perearstisüsteemi sobiva tegevusega, kuid puuduvad andmed, kuidas suhtuvad alkoholi tarvitamise teema käsitlemisesse perearstikeskust külastavad patsiendid. Uuringu eesmärk oli kirjeldada perearstikeskusesse vastuvõtule tulnud ning alkoholi liigtarvitamise varajase avastamise ja nõustamise projektis osalenud patsientide arvamusi alkoholi tarvitamisest rääkimise kohta.
Meetodid. Seitsmes Eesti perearstikeskuses viidi alkoholi liigtarvitamise varajase avastamise ja nõustamise teenuse osutamise raames läbi patsientide ankeetküsitlus.
Tulemused. Küsimustikule, mis koosnes üheksast väitest, vastas 344 patsienti. 98% vastajatest nõustus väitega, et perearst või -õde võib patsiendile esitada küsimusi alkoholi tarvitamise kohta, kui see puudutab patsiendi tervist ja ravi. 96% vastajatest oli seisukohal, et perearst või -õde võiks soovitada patsiendile vähendada alkoholi tarvitamist, kui alkoholi tarvitamine mõjub patsiendi tervisele halvasti. 78% vastajatest ei tundnud end alkoholi tarvitamisest rääkides ebamugavalt. 67% vastanutest arvas, et perearst või -õde võiks mõne aja pärast uuesti patsiendiga rääkida alkoholi tarvitamise teemal.
Järeldused. Tervisekontrolliks või tervisekaebusega perearsti või -õe vastuvõtule pöördunud patsiendid suhtuvad positiivselt alkoholi tarvitamise kohta küsimuste esitamisesse ja nõustamisse ning peavad seda oluliseks. Nõustamise paremaks kohandamiseks patsientide vajadustele on vaja arendada alkoholi liigtarvitamise varajase avastamise ja nõustamise tegevust Eesti perearstikeskustes. Eesti Arst 2015; 94(7):404–410

description: Background: Understanding how biological communities change over time is of increasing importance as Earth moves into the Anthropocene. A wide variety of methods are used for multivariate community analysis and are variously applied to research that aims to characterise temporal dynamics in community composition. Understanding these methods and how they are applied is useful for determining best practice in community ecology. Methodology: We reviewed the ecological literature from 1990 to 2018 that used multivariate methods to address questions of temporal community dynamics. For each paper that fulfilled our search criteria, we recorded the types of multivariate analysis used to characterise temporal community dynamics in addition to the research aim, habitat type, location, taxon and the experimental design. Results: Most studies had relatively few temporal replicates; the median number was seven time points. Nearly 70% of studies applied more than one analysis method; descriptive methods such as bar graphs and ordination were the most commonly applied methods. Surprisingly, the types of analyses used were only related to the number of temporal replicates, but not to research aim or any other aspects of experimental design such as taxon, or habitat or year of study. Conclusions: This review reveals that most studies interested in understanding community dynamics use relatively short time series meaning that several, more sophisticated, temporal analyses are not widely applicable. However, newer methods using multivariate dissimilarities are growing in popularity and many can be applied to time series of any length.

description: Allergiline kontaktdermatiit (AKD) on sage nahahaigus, mille põhjuste osatähtsus aja jooksul muutub. Seetõttu tuleb AKD etioloogilisi tegureid varasemate aastate epikutaantestide tulemuste alusel aeg-ajalt täpsemalt iseloomustada.
Ajavahemikul 2004–2013 käis TÜ Kliinikumi nahahaiguste kliinikus nahatestide
tegemas 1724 patsienti, kellest 78,5% olid naised. Kõiki haigeid testiti Euroopa standardseeria kontaktallergeenidega, mis olid ostetud kas Saksamaalt (Hal Allergie GMBH) või Rootsist (Chemotechnique Diagnostics). Standardseeriasse kuuluvad metallid (nikkel, kroom, koobalt), nahahooldusvahendite konservandid, lõhnaained, kummitööstuses kasutatavad keemilised ühendid, mõned naharavimite koostisosad ja taimsed allergeenid.
Vähemalt üks positiivne nahatesti tulemus saadi 36,7%-l uuritutest. Levinumad
allergeenid olid nikkelsulfaat (17,6%), konservandid formaldehüüd (7,1%) ja metüülisotiasolinoon (4,0%), harvem oli ülitundlikkust Peruu palsami (3,2%), lõhnaainete (3,1%) ja kampoli suhtes (2,7%).
Kümne aasta tulemused näitavad, et meil on lähiriikidega võrreldes rohkem formaldehüüdi suhtes sensibiliseerunuid. Samal ajal suureneb metüülisotiasolinooni suhtes sensibiliseerunute arv. Veel täheldasime ülitundlikkust parafenüleendiamiini suhtes lastel, kes olid teinud ajutise tätoveeringu. Eesti Arst 2015; 94(7):411–416

High-valent fluorides and oxyfluorides.

description: A new compound of iodine (VII), IOF . was prepared pure in bulk quantities by the reaction of IF₇ with H₂O or SiO₂, followed by the removal of IF₇ from the resulting IF₇ /IOF₅ mixture with SbF₅ . IOF₅ was characterized by its infrared and ¹⁹F n.m.r. spectra, both of which confirmed the expected C₄v symmetry for the molecule. Since our studies indicated that previous work on IF₇ was carried out with samples containing IOF₅ , IF₇ was reinvestigated, using ¹⁹F n.m.r. and infrared spectroscopy to establish its stereochemistry. The infrared spectrum suggested a high symmetry, likely D₅h, for IF₇ while the ¹⁹F n.m.r. spectrum showed that rapid intramolecular rearrangement occurred in the liquid phase. Vapour pressure-temperature data were obtained for both IF₇ and IOF₅ ; these suggested that neither IF₇ nor IOF₅ was associated in the liquid or solid states. Some comments have been made on the acid-base behaviour of IF₇ and IOF₅ . IOF₅ shows no tendency to act as either a fluoride ion donor or acceptor, but IF₇ in addition to acting as a donor to AsF₅ and SbF₅ may show acceptor properties, previously unrecorded. The acid-base adduct IF₇ .AsF₅ was characterized by its structure, determined from X-ray powder data; and infrared spectrum as the ionic salt, IF⁺₆AsF⁻₆. The results of magnetic measurements on XeF₆ have been presented and have been suggested to be inconsistent with the hypothesis that XeF₆ is a molecule with a non-octahedral ground state and a low-lying triplet state. The reactions of ONF with the third transition series hexafluorides, and with ReF₇, ReOF₅ and OsOF₅ were studied, along with the reactions of NO with ReF₇ , ReOF₅ and ReF₆. The results confirmed the trend of increasing oxidizing power across the series from tungsten to platinum, established previously in these laboratories. The decreasing tendency to form higher coordinate anions and the variation in anion sizes across the series has been noted, and these have been shown to be consistent with the trend of oxidizing power. The reaction of ONF with IrF₆and PtF₆ has provided the first example of a fluorine elimination reaction: ONF + MF₆→NOMF₆ + F₂(+ ONF₃). The existence of fluorine as a reaction product was conclusively proven and comments on the mechanism of the reaction have been made. The ONF-PtF₆ reaction also provided the first synthetic route to the preparation of pure NO⁺PtF⁻₆. Infrared spectroscopic, magnetic susceptibility, and X-ray powder data have been given for this salt. The experimental evidence is consistent with the formulation of the compound as a derivative of platinum (v). The magnetic data for HOPtF₆, along with the data for O₂PtF₆, has been used to derive magnetic moments for the dioxygenyl cation, O⁺₂. The volumes of the O⁺₂ and NO⁺ cations have been compared.

Vaatamata küllaltki lühikesele ajaloole on neuropsühholoogiliste sekkumiste kasulikkus leidnud nüüdseks tõestust nii individuaalsel kui ka riiklikul tasandil. Järjest laiemalt on hakanud levima holistiline rehabilitatsioonimudel, kus patsiendi lähedased ja keskkond on tihedalt kaasatud raviprotsessi. Neuropsühholoogi töö patsiendiga algab põhjalikust hindamisest ja patsiendikesksete eesmärkide seadmisest ning sobivate sekkumiste rakendamise järel on oluline toetada uute oskuste üldistumist. Eestis on tegu suhteliselt noore, kuid kiiresti areneva valdkonnaga. Viimastel aastatel on laienenud siinsed erialased õppimis- ja koolitusvõimalused.

description: Increased fire activity due to climate change may impact the successional dynamics of boreal forests, with important consequences for caribou habitat. Early successional forests have been shown to support lower quantities of caribou forage lichens, but geographic variation in, and controls on, the rates of lichen recovery has been largely unexplored. In this study, we sampled across a broad region in northwestern Canada to compare lichen biomass accumulation in ecoprovinces, including the Saskatchewan Boreal Shield, the Northwest Territories Taiga Shield, and Northwest Territories Taiga Plains, divided into North and South. We focused on the most valuable Cladonia species for boreal and barren-ground caribou: Cladonia mitis and C. arbuscula, C. rangiferina and C. stygia, and C. stellaris and C. uncialis. We developed new allometric equations to estimate lichen biomass from field measurements of lichen cover and height; allometries were consistent among ecoprovinces, suggesting generalizability. We then used estimates of lichen biomass to quantify patterns of lichen recovery in different stand types, ecoprovinces, and with time following stand-replacing fire. We used a hurdle model to account both for the heterogeneous nature of lichen presence (zero inflation) and for the range of abundance in stands where lichen was present. The first component of the hurdle model, a generalized linear model, identified stand age, stand type, and ecoprovince as significant predictors of lichen presence. With a logistic growth model, a measure of lichen recovery (time to 50% asymptotic value) varied from 28 to 73 yr, dependent on stand type and ecoprovince. The combined predictions of the hurdle model suggest the most rapid recovery of lichen biomass across our study region occurred in jack pine in the Boreal Shield (30 yr), while stands located in the Taiga Plains (North and South) required a longer recovery period (approximately 75 yr). These results provide a basis for estimating future caribou habitat that encompasses some of the large variation in fire effects on lichen abundance and vegetation types across the range of boreal and barren-ground caribou in North America.

description: The interplay between coherent tunnel coupling and on-site interactions in dissipation-free bosonic systems has lead to many spectacular observations, ranging from the demonstration of number-phase uncertainty relation to quantum phase transitions. To explore the effect of dissipation and coherent drive on tunnel coupled interacting bosonic systems, we propose a device that is the quantum optical analog of a Josephson interferometer. It consists of two coherently driven linear optical cavities connected via a central cavity with a single-photon nonlinearity. The Josephson-like oscillations in the light emitted from the central cavity as a function of the phase difference between two pumping fields can be suppressed by increasing the strength of the nonlinear coupling. Remarkably, we find that in the limit of ultra-strong interactions in the center-cavity, the coupled system maps on to an effective Jaynes-Cummings system with a nonlinearity determined by the tunnel coupling strength. In the limit of a single nonlinear cavity coupled to two linear waveguides, the degree of photon antibunching from the nonlinear cavity provides an excellent measure of the transition to the nonlinear regime where Josephson oscillations are suppressed.

Infrared study of crystalline strontium formate and strontium formate dihydrate
Creators: name: McQuaker, Neil Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The infrared absorption spectra of single crystals of strontium formate and strontium formate dihydrate have been recorded between 4000 and 500 cm⁻¹. Crystal slices cut perpendicular to the crystal axes were employed; the spectra were recorded using polarized radiation, the electric vector being parallel to the direction defined by the crystal axis in question. For Sr(CHO₂)₂it was possible to assign 20 of the 36 infrared active internal fundamentals. In addition lattice modes at: 10, 12, 15, 20, 23, 70, 155, 180 and 200 cm⁻¹ were infered from combinations with internal fundamentals. For Sr(CHO₂)₂.2H₂O it was possible to observe only 10 of the 36 internal fundamentals associated with the formate ions as the absorbing species. Of the 18 internal fundamentals associated with the water molecules as the absorbing species only one mode could be unambiguously assigned. Lattice modes at: 642, 710, 750, 797, 840, 856 and 872 cm⁻¹ were observed and two additional lattice modes at 18 and 110 cm⁻¹ were infered from combinations with internal fundamentals. From the intensity ratios of the internal fundamentals of Sr(CHO₂)₂ it was possible to calculate the direction cosines associated with each of the two crystallographically non-equivalent formate ions contained in the unit cell.

description: We investigate nonlocal vortex motion in weakly pinning a-NbGe nanostructures, which is driven by a transport current I and remotely detected as a nonlocal voltage Vnl. At high I, the measured Vnl exhibits dramatic sign reversals that at low and high temperatures T occur for opposite polarities of I. The sign of Vnl becomes independent of that of the drive current at large abs(I). These unusual effects can be nearly quantitatively explained by a novel enhancement of magnetization, arising from a nonequilibrium distribution of quasiparticles at high T, and a Nernst-like effect resulting from local electron heating at low T.
Grover-like search via Frenkel exciton trapping mechanism

description: We propose the physical implementation of a Grover-like search problem by means of Frenkel exciton trapping at a shallow isotopic impurity against a background of competing mechanisms. The search culminating at the impurity molecule, designated the "winner" site, is marked by its enhanced interaction with acoustic phonons at low temperatures. The quantum search proceeds with the assistance of an Oracle-like exciton-phonon interaction which addresses only the impurity site, via the Dyson propagator within the Green's function formalism. The optimum parameters of a graph lattice with long-range intersite interactions required to trap the exciton in the fastest time are determined, and estimates of error rates for the naphthalene doped organic system are evaluated. We extend analysis of quantum search to a fluctuating long-range interacting cycle (LRIC) graph lattice system.

description: In den frühen Phasen der Entwicklung einer Softwarearchitektur sind viele Eigenschaften des finalen Systems noch unbekannt und schwer zu ermitteln. Es kann mehrere mögliche Softwarearchitekturen geben, aber es ist ungewiss, welche Architektur die beste Entscheidung ist. Softwarearchitekten können Entwurfsraumerkundung (engl. Design Space Exploration) nutzen, um Qualitätsmetriken einzelner Architekturkandidaten zu ermitteln und den optimalen Kandidaten zu wählen. Entwurfsraumerkundung ist ein ressourcenintensiver Prozess. Ein Architekturkandidat kann bestimmte Eigenschaften aufweisen, die es direkt von weiterer Erwägung als optimalen Kandidaten ausschließt, unabhängig von seinen Qualitätsmetriken. Ein Beispiel solcher Eigenschaften sind Vertraulichkeitsverletzungen, die durch die Nutzung bestimmter Komponenten oder Kombinationen von Komponenten in einer Architektur eingeführt werden. Sollten diese Eigenschaften frühzeitig identifiziert werden können, kann die Ermittlung der Qualitätsmetriken des Architekturkandidaten übersprungen werden und der Kandidat verworfen werden. Dies kann wertvolle Ressourcen einsparen. Zurzeit können solche Analysen wie die Vertraulichkeitsanalyse nur getrennt von dem Entwurfsraumerkundungsprozess durchgeführt werden. Zunächst werden optimale Kandidaten ermittelt, und später erst einzeln analysiert. Unser Ansatz erweitert PerOpteryx um einen zusätzlichen Filter, der es erlaubt existierende generische Analysen auf Architekturkandidaten im Entwurfsraumerkundungsprozess durchzuführen. Dadurch wird das frühzeitige Verwerfen von ungeeigneten Kandidaten vor der Ermittlung von Qualitätsmetriken ermöglicht. Wir nutzen diesen Filter um eine Vertraulichkeitsanalyse in den Entwurfsraumerkundungsprozess zu integrieren, und stellen weitere Beispielanalysen bereit, die in dem Filter genutzt werden können. Wir evaluieren unseren Ansatz indem wir PerOpteryx mit unserem Filter auf Fallstudien ausführen. Unsere Ergebnisse deuten an, dass unser Filter wie erwartet funktioniert und Architekturkandidaten analysieren und verwerfen kann, und die Ermittlung von Qualitätseigenschaften für ungeeignete Kandidaten überspringt.

Inference about the random effects for the areas may depend strongly on the choice of this model, but this choice is not a straightforward matter. We give a general methodology for both evaluating the data evidence for different models and averaging over plausible models to give robust area effect distributions. We reanalyze the data of Tsutakawa [Biometrics 41 (1985) 69--79] on lung cancer mortality rates in Missouri cities, and show the differences in conclusions about the city rates from this methodology.

description: Red Dwarf (dM) stars are overwhelmingly the most numerous stars in our Galaxy. These cool, faint and low mass stars make up more than 80% of all stars. Also dM stars have extremely long life times (longer than 50-100 Gyr). Determining the number of red dwarfs with planets and assessing planetary habitability (a planet's potential to develop and sustain life) is critically important because such studies would indicate how common life is in the universe. Our program - "Living with a Red Dwarf" - addresses these questions by investigating the long-term nuclear evolution and the coronal and chromospheric properties of red dwarf stars with widely different ages (~50 Myr -- 12 Gyr). One major focus of the program is to study the magnetic-dynamo generated coronal and chromospheric X-ray--FUV/UV emissions and flare properties of a sample of dM0--5 stars. Observations carried out by FUSE of a number of young to old dM stars provide important data for understanding transition region heating in these stars with deep convective zones as well as providing measures of FUV irradiances. Also studied are the effects of X-ray--FUV emissions on possible hosted planets and impacts of this radiation on their habitability. Using these data we are constructing irradiance tables (X-UV irradiances) that can be used to model the effects of XUV radiation on planetary atmospheres and possible life on planetary surfaces. The initial results of this program are discussed.

description: Liver cirrhosis is an increasing cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries. Infective Endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon disease with notable morbidity and mortality. Even though cirrhosis is associated with immune dysfunction and increased occurrence of bacterial infection, IE is infrequently diagnosed in these patients. Thus, the purpose of this study was to systematically review all published cases of IE in patients with cirrhosis in the literature. A systematic review of PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane (through 23th April 2020) for studies providing epidemiological, clinical, microbiological as well as treatment data and outcomes of IE in patients with cirrhosis was performed. A total of 78 studies, containing data of 602 patients, were included. A prosthetic valve was present in 17.8%, while the most common causative pathogen was S. aureus in 26% followed by Streptococcus spp in 16.8%. Aortic valve was the most commonly infected site, followed by mitral valve. Diagnosis was set with a transthoracic ultrasound in 55.2%, while the diagnosis was set at autopsy in 16.7%. Fever and heart failure were the most common clinical presentations. Aminoglycosides, vancomycin, and cephalosporins were the antimicrobials most frequently used for treatment. Clinical cure was noted in 68.2%, while overall mortality was 41.4%. This systematic review thoroughly describes IE in patients with liver cirrhosis and provides information on epidemiology, clinical presentation, treatment and outcomes.

description: We address the spectral properties of Mott insulators with orbital degrees of freedom, and investigate cases where the orbital symmetry leads to Ising-like superexchange in the orbital sector. The paradigm of a hole propagating by its coupling to quantum fluctuations, known from the spin t-J model, then no longer applies. We find instead that when one of the two orbital flavors is immobile, as in the Falicov-Kimball model, trapped orbital polarons coexist with free hole propagation emerging from the effective three-site hopping in the regime of large on-site Coulomb interaction U. The spectral functions are found analytically in this case within the retraceable path approximation in one and two dimensions. On the contrary, when both of the orbitals are active, as in the model for $t_{2g}$ electrons in two dimensions, we find propagating polarons with incoherent scattering dressing the moving hole and renormalizing the quasiparticle dispersion. Here, the spectral functions, calculated using the self-consistent Born approximation, are anisotropic and depend on the orbital flavor. Unbiased conclusions concerning the spectral properties are established by comparing the above results for the orbital t-J models with those obtained using the variational cluster approximation or exact diagonalization for the corresponding Hubbard models. The present work makes predictions concerning the essential features of photoemission spectra of certain fluorides and vanadates.

description: Soomes on võimalik arstina töötada kahel viisil. Tavaliselt sõlmib arst töölepingu kohaliku omavalitsusega, kes haldab tervishoiuasutusi, või otse haiglaga. Viimastel aastatel – 21. sajandil – on järjest enam aktiviseerunud renditööjõudu vahendavad firmad, kellega arstid sõlmivad töölepingu ja kes omakorda on lepingulistes suhetes raviasutusega. Algul vahendasid firmad arste nädalalõpuvalveteks ja muudeks lühiajalisteks asendusteks. Nende tegevus keskendus tervise  keskustele, kuid firmad teevad järjest pikaajalisemaid lepinguid ja vahendavad arstide tööjõudu suurematele raviasutuste kompleksidele. Loomulik laienemissuund on ka haigla.

description: The social - environmental entrepreneurship in Russia began to develop only in 2010 within the concept of second-hand stores and thrift stores. In Russia green NGO and business sector represented as social network, supporting their own environmental life cycle of recyclable garments. From 90’s XX cent until nowadays it’s grew up from traditional second hands models, isolated in fashion market for sustainable green business with high level of promotion citizens activity, environmental responsibility, but stay in the low level of payback. There are created new ecological and business sustainable communications models in green fashion, that existed only in close link with other green organizations. In the process of case studying studying, author found three types of effective green models in collaboration: 1) collaboration between the fashion industry and other industries (2) cross-sector collaboration, (3) NGOs partnerships. The most big networks created slow value creation model using hybrid system: business chains and communications with picking up and recycling of garments ang NGO’s chains for organizing the part of charity activities. The spreading these kinds of green fashion business models in Russia can be productive as the examples of successful small and middle business activities

description: We propose two robust schemes to generate controllable (deterministic) atomic W-states of three three-level atoms interacting with an optical cavity and a laser beam. Losses due to atomic spontaneous emissions and to cavity decay are efficiently suppressed by employing adiabatic passage technique and appropriately designed atom-field couplings. In these schemes the three atoms traverse the cavity-mode and the laser beam and become entangled in the free space outside the cavity.

description: Lihasekrambid (muscle cramps) on sageli esinev häire jalgades. Patsiendid, kellel esinevad lihasekrambid, pöörduvad sageli neuroloogi, sise- või perearsti poole. Krampe tajutakse kui tahtetut, äkilist, ebameeldivat, valulikku ja pigistavat tunnet lihastes, mis kestab sekundeid või minuteid. Krampe hõlbustab lihaste venitamine. Tõelisi lihasekrampe tuleb eristada lihasespasmist ja lihasevalust (müalgiast). Krampe võivad põhjustada perifeerse ja tsentraalse närvisüsteemi häired ning lihase enda patoloogia. Diagnoosimisel on oluline haiguse anamnees, objektiivne leid ja elektromüograafiline uuring. Raviks kasutatakse mitmeid medikamente, kuid nende tõhusus pole lõplikult selge. Leevendust pakuvad mitmesugused venitusharjutused.

Probing the symmetry energy at high baryon density with heavy ion collisions

description: The nuclear symmetry energy at densities above saturation density ($ρ_0\sim 0.16 fm^{-3}$) is poorly constrained theoretically and very few relevant experimental data exist. Its study is possible through Heavy Ion Collisions (HIC) at energies $E/A> 200$ MeV, particularly with beams of neutron-rich radioactive nuclei. The energy range implies that the momentum dependence of the isospin fields, i.e. the difference of the effective masses on protons and neutrons, also has to be investigated before a safe constraint on $\esy(ρ)$ is possible. We discuss the several observables which have been suggested, like $n/p$ emission and their collective flows and the ratio of meson yields with different isospin projection, $π^-/π^+$ and $K^0/K^+$. We point out several physical mechanisms that should be included in the theoretical models to allow a direct comparison to the more precise experiments which will be able to distinguish the isospin projection of the detected particles: CSR/Lanzhou, FAIR/GSI, RIBF/RIKEN, FRIB/MSU.

A study of pedestrian accidents, behaviour, and safety in Rockhampton

description: Walking is the most basic means of transport. It offers predictable travel times, is free, and is considered by many as pleasant exercise. IT IS THE BACKBONE OF URBAN TRANSPORTATION PROVIDING A SYSTEM OF COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION WHICH ALLOWS THE CITY TO FUNCTION. In this day and age we are considered fortunate if we are located within walking distance of work, shopping, recreational or cultural opportunities. Unfortunately though, with walking comes accidents, injuries, and death as a result of the conflict the pedestrian undergoes with his surrounding environment. Pedestrian safety is a significant road safety problem in Australia. In the past ten years over 5500 pedestrians have been killed on Australia's roads (almost 20% of the total road deaths). In addition to this nearly 3000 pedestrians are treated in hospital each year as a result of traffic accients. This report deals with a study into pedestrian accidents, safety, and behaviour in the city of Rockhampton. The accidents studied were from 1985 - 1989. Due to "bureaucratical bungling", police traffic accident report forms were unable to be obtained for analysis, however the Department of Transport through the use of their computer traffic accident data base PHYLAK were able to give limited details of all pedestrian accidents occurring on the declared roads in Rockhampton. This numbered 27 for the five year period, and there were 82 overall reported in the city, a figure of 33%. Unfortunately personal details eg age, sex are not given in the PHYLAK data so it was impossible to analyse the relationship of these details to the actual accidents. To gauge the public's reaction to pedestrian safety and behaviour a number of studies and surveys were conducted in the city. These involved obtaining a "pedestrian behaviour index" at various crossings throughout the city; determining the number of students who walk to school regularly; gauging difficulty associated with roundabouts; and the public's perception of safety on different types of crossings. A computer data retrieval and analysis system was designed as a recommendation for the police to install, as a result of the confusion and turmoil experienced when attempting to gain the required information. With this program it would have been very simple indeed. All these topics are discussed more extensively later in the report.
