PP45 Developing Recommendations to Improve the Effectiveness of Multidisciplinary Team Meetings for Patients with Chronic Diseases

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Background Multidisciplinary team meetings (MDMs) have been endorsed by the Department of Health as the core model for managing chronic diseases. It is believed that MDMs ensure higher quality decision making and improved outcomes. However, the evidence underpinning the development of MDMs is not strong and the degree to which MDMs have been absorbed into clinical practice varies widely across conditions and settings. We conducted a large mixed-methods study of multidisciplinary teams in chronic diseases to examine and explore determinants of effective decision making. We applied a transparent and explicit consensus development method to develop recommendations, based on our results, to improve MDM decision making and effectiveness. Methods We collected qualitative and quantitative data from 12 multidisciplinary teams (gynaecological, skin and haematological cancers, mental health, memory clinics and heart failure). Data included non-participant observation of 370 MDMs and follow up of medical records, 53 interviews with healthcare professionals and 20 patient interviews. We triangulated these datasets to increase the internal validity and consistency of our findings. Over the course of successive analytic meetings we identified patterns of convergence to develop a coherent framework for understanding our findings. Based on this analysis we derived a series of potential recommendations for discussion and rating by an expert consensus development panel including policy makers, healthcare professionals and patient representatives. Results Issues for discussion by the consensus panel included: whether or not patients should attend MDMs; how patient perspectives can be best represented; determining which patients, and indeed whether all patients should be included for discussion; suggestions for improvements in MDM processes, including the structure and co-ordination of MDMs; whether functions such as teaching and emotional support for team members have a valid role in the MDM, and if so, how best to incorporate them. The issue of how to incorporate multi-morbidity in disease specific MDMs was also considered. Conclusion We have conducted the largest study of its kind in this area and the first to examine and compare MDMs for different chronic diseases. In addition, the use of a diverse range of qualitative and quantitative data allowed an unprecedented breadth and depth of data to be explored. This produced wide ranging, important and feasible recommendations to improve the effectiveness of MDMs which, the data suggest are generalisable to different patient groups.
National Dam Safety Program. Johnson Lake Dam (MO 10650), Missouri - Kansas City Basin, Carroll County, Missouri. Phase I Inspection Report.

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Johnson Lake Dam was inspected by an interdisciplinary team of engineers. The purpose of the inspection was to make an assessment of the general conditions of the dam with respect to safety, based upon available data and visual inspection, in order to determine if the dam poses hazards to human life or property. Johnson Lake Dam has a height of twenty-five (25) feet and a storage capacity of fifty-eight (58) acre-feet. In accordance with the guidelines a small size dam has a height greater than or equal to twenty-five (25) feet but less than forty (40) feet and a storage capacity greater than or equal to fifty (50) acre-feet but less than one thousand (1,000) acre-feet. The size classification is determined by either the storage or height, whichever gives the larger size category. Johnson Lake Dam is classified as a small size dam. In accordance with the guidelines and based on visual observation, the dam is classified as having a high potential for damage and loss of life. Failure would threaten life and property. The estimated damage zone extends approximately two (2) miles downstream of the dam. Within the damage zone are thirty (30) or more dwellings, U.S. Highway 65 and a football field all of which are located in the City of Carrollton.
[Effect of baxacor on the hemodynamics and contractile function of the myocardium in acute ischemia (an experimental study)].

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The article discusses the results of experiments on 16 dogs in which acute myocardial ischemia was reproduced with intravenous infusion of baksacor and without the infusion of the drug; control experiments were also performed on an intact heart with baksacor infusion. Hemodynamics and myocardial contractility were studied throughout the entire experiment. It was found that baksacor had practically no effect on an intact heart. In acute ischemia the maximum effect of the drug was manifested on the 5th-25th minutes. An increase of the stroke volume and normalization of the rate of shortening of the contraction component were observed. An anti-arrhythmic effect of baksacor was noted.
1070 Non-targeted metabolomic evaluation of the uterine milieu during the transitional period of embryo elongation in the pig

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Alterations in the signaling of critical molecular factors within the uterine milieu lead to deficiencies in embryo elongation. The objective of this study was to identify metabolites within the uterine environment that are present as porcine embryos transition between spherical, ovoid, and tubular embryos at Day 9, 10, and 11 of gestation, respectively. White crossbred gilts (n = 9) were bred at standing estrus (designated d 0) and again 24 h later and randomly assigned to collection group. At Day 9, 10, or 11 of gestation (n = 3 per day), reproductive tracts were collected immediately following harvest and flushed with 40 mL of RPMI-1640 media. Embryo morphologies were assessed for each pregnancy to ensure gilts were assigned to the correct gestation day treatment group (i.e., Day 9 contained only spherical conceptuses, Day 10 contained only ovoid conceptuses, and Day 11 contained a mixture of ovoid and tubular conceptuses). Subsequent uterine flushings were submitted for non-targeted profiling by GC–MS and UPLC-MS techniques. Raw spectral data was processed using XCMS package in R and features were clustered using RAMclustR. Unsupervised multivariate principal component analysis (PCA) was performed in R using pcamethods package and univariate ANOVA was performed in R with a Benjamini-Hochburg false discovery rate (FDR) adjustment. Multivariate analysis of both the GC–MS and UPLC-MS spectral data demonstrated sample grouping that reflected the day of gestation. Maximum separation for the GC–MS data over time was observed with PC1 vs. PC2 accounting for 90% of the variance and PC2 identified several significant (P = 0.03) putative metabolites that changed over time. For the UPLC-MS data, separation over time was not as obvious but PC2 vs. PC6 did account for 28% of the variance and PC2 identified some significant (P = 0.04) metabolites that changed with time. After FDR adjustment of the GC–MS and UPLC-MS data, only C553, an unknown compound, was significantly (P = 0.02) greater in Day 11 uterine flushings compared to Day 9 and 10. However, several annotated compounds were trending toward differences, including aminomalonic acid which tended to be increased (P = 0.07) in Day 11 uterine flushings compared to Day 9 and 10. In conclusion, these data illustrate putative metabolites that change within the uterine milieu as porcine embryos transition between spherical, ovoid, and tubular embryos.

Consumers’ interest and willingness to pay for traceable vegetables- An empirical evidence from Bangladesh

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Urban consumers’ concerns have focused attention on whether a food traceability system should be implemented in Bangladesh to minimize the production and distribution of unsafe and poor-quality food products. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 220 consumers in two main cities Dhaka and Mymensingh of Bangladesh to examine the traceability system in the vegetable supply chain from an ex-ante perspective. The objective is to identify the preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) for the traceability attributes and examine the factors influencing their WTP for traceable vegetables. The results show that over 90% of the consumers put their emphasis on traceability attributes associated with: pesticides and last date of spraying information, fertilizer information, and harvest date. On the other hand, over 85% of consumers showed interest in GM information of vegetables. The mean WTP is found to be 5.84 Tk. (US$0.068) and 5.90 Tk. (US$0.069) per kg respectively for brinjal and tomatoes. This reflects a 19.5% and 19.7% additional monetary payment over and above the purchase price for conventional brinjal and tomatoes respectively. The empirical findings indicate that income and quality perception scores have positive and significant effects on consumer WTP for traceable brinjal and tomatoes.

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The relationship between math and physics has always been a focus for scientists. This paper aims to deliver a general overview of the intersection of math and physics (in the age around the formation of special relativity) to inspire more people to have a deeper understanding of two subjects starting with the revolutionary birth and growth of 4-dimensional new physics in the 20th century. This paper discussed the relationship between mathematical models and physics by reviewing the evolution of special relativity and mathematical framework including spacetime and . , the geometric framework of 4-dimension new physics, updated Lorentz transformation and generalized Einstein’s special relativity. Furthermore, this paper reviewed changes in the relationship between math and physics and the relationship between math, theoretical physics, and experimental physics throughout time, providing insights from different scientists about the relationship between the development of physics and math nowadays.
Bone Mineral Density in Relation to Chronic Kidney Disease After Heart Transplantation: A Retrospective Single-center Study at Skåne University Hospital in Lund 1988–2016

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background. Our aim was to investigate the bone mineral density (BMD) evolution and incidence of osteoporosis in relation to chronic kidney disease (CKD) up to 10 years after heart transplantation (HT). Methods. A retrospective analysis was performed on 159 HT patients at Skåne University Hospital in Lund 1988–2016. Results. The median follow-up time was 6.1 years (interquartile range = 7.5 y). HT patients with CKD stage <3 or normal kidney function before HT exhibited a greater mean BMD loss in the lumbar spine, compared to patients with CKD stage ≥3 before HT, at the first (−6.6% versus −2.5%, P = 0.029), second (−3.7% versus 2.1%, P = 0.018), and third (−2.0% versus 4.1%, P = 0.047) postoperative years, respectively. All included HT patients exhibited a BMD loss in the femoral neck at the first postoperative year (−8.8% [−10.3 to −7.3] in patients with CKD stage <3 or normal kidney function and −9.3% [−13.2 to −5.5] in patients with CKD stage ≥3 before HT), which was not fully reversed up to 10 years after HT. In adjusted models, CKD stage <3 before HT did not predict osteopenia and osteoporosis in the lumbar spine or femoral neck. Conclusions. CKD before HT did not predict BMD loss or osteoporosis development after HT. The study is, however, limited by a lack of data on fractures, and further studies on the relationship between CKD and postoperative bone strength are encouraged.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Although much attention has been paid to the musculature of the pterothorax of the Acrididae and especially to the modifications which it shows in brachypterous and apterous forms, no study has been made of the pterothorax of the Pneumoridae, although this group is considered, on the basis of its wing venation (Ragge, 1955), to be the most primitive of living Orthoptera.
At the Origin of the Christian Claim

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Giussani argues that if we accept the hypothesis that the mystery entered the realm of human existence and spoke in human terms, the relationship between the individual and God is no longer based on a moral, imaginative, or aesthetic human effort but instead on coming upon an event in one's life. Thus the religious method is overturned by Christ: in Christianity it is no longer the person who seeks to know the mystery but the mystery that makes himself known by entering history. At the Origin of the Christian Claim presents an intriguing argument supported with ample documentation from the gospels and other theological writings
KAJIAN PENGEMBANGAN STRATEGI POTENSIAL INDUSTRI TEPUNG TAPIOKA RAKYAT (ITTARA) DI KABUPATEN LAMPUNG TIMUR [A Study of Potential Strategy Development on Small Scale Tapioca Industry (ITTARA) in East Lampung District]

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

The objective of this research was to find out the weakness and the strength of ITTARA located in East Lampung, as a basis to develop the potential strategy of ITTARA so that it could be sustainable and economically improved. Analysis methods used were the SWOT analysis (strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), while the potential strategy concept was adapted from existing ITTARA conditions. The SWOT analysis showed that there was weakness aspect that dominated the strength aspect in internal factor of ITTARA, nevertheles there was opportunity from external factor that could be optimized. These strategies should be developed were diversifying final product, conducting side business of by product, and improving technology use, as well as efficiency of production cost. These business strategy improvements were then analyzed using AHP to choose one strategy by using criteria of market potential, production cost, product added value, technology and competitor. The result showed the most potential to be developed was improving tehcnology use by conducting the two times milling tapioca production. Keywords: AHP, ITTARA, SWOT analysis, two times milling
Improving nutrition and health : the perspectives of First Nations youth and adults

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The high prevalence of obesity among Canadian First Nations youth and type 2 diabetes among First Nations adults is well documented. However, the perspectives of First Nations people, particularly adolescents, toward improving health and preventing diabetes are not well represented in the research literature. This research explores the perspectives of First Nations youth and adults working with them on the meaning of health as well as their thoughts on opportunities for and barriers to improving health and preventing diabetes. Ten in-depth individual interviews with adults and five focus groups with 26 youth were conducted in Opaskwayak Cree Nation near The Pas, Manitoba in October 2004. Interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative analysis was conducted using thematic analysis, analytical memos and NVivo 2 software. When talking about what being healthy meant to them, both youth and adults included the four aspects of health depicted in the Medicine Wheel in their descriptions. Participants spoke about the importance of positive adult role models for emotional health, the incorporation of traditional native practices into everyday life for spiritual health, the changes in diet and activity level that could affect physical health, and the significance of making good choices for mental health. Both generations identified diabetes and its complications as a concern in their community. For adults and youth, improving health and preventing diabetes incorporated more than physical health. Other components of emotional, spiritual and mental health were connected to these goals. Opportunities for improving health focused on community and family support. First Nations youth are concerned about factors in their surroundings that present a barrier to health and have constructive and practical ideas for improving health. Inclusion of cultural values in health promotion activities could encourage participation and foster ownership of these programs.

In The Soft Machine he begins an adventure that will take us even further into the dark recesses of his imagination, a region where nothing is sacred, nothing taboo. Continuing his ferocious verbal assault on hatred, hype, poverty, war, bureaucracy, and addiction in all its forms, Burroughs gives us a surreal space odyssey through the wounded galaxies in a book only he could create.
Emotional intelligence and analytical skill as human capital factors influencing competitiveness through analysis of Toyota Kata, Kaizen and Quality 4.0: empirical study conducted during COVID-19

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose This study empirically tests a model of human capital (HC) factors affecting the organisational competitiveness (OC) of automotive parts suppliers in the Industry 4.0 framework, including concepts such as Toyota Kata (TK), Kaizen and Quality 4.0, during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach An instrument was created to measure emotional intelligence (EI) and analytical skill (AS) as input variables and OC as the output variable. The instrument was distributed electronically to Tier 1 non-technical employees in Nuevo León and Querétaro, México. A total of 195 surveys were obtained. The instrument used stepwise multiple linear regression. Findings This study proposes a model to strengthen the OC of Tier 1 automotive parts supply industry from the perspective of HC factors. Furthermore, it is shown that EI and AS have a positive and significant impact on OC. Practical implications From an HC perspective, this study provides a useful basis to improve OC for researchers, industry experts and managers at different levels of the automotive industry, including the triple helix (academia, industry and the government). Originality/value No studies simultaneously test the relationship of EI and AS to OC; therefore, this study fills a gap in the literature. Furthermore, the study explored the literature on individual Kaizen (IK) and TK, leading to a contrast between the definitions of EI and AS. Finally, for EI, a reference to motivation was found in the IK. In the case of AS, an orientation to ability of problem solving was found in TK.
EORTC External Quality Assurance Program for ER and PgR Measurements: Trial 1998/1999

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Steroid receptor assays have clinical relevance in selecting women who would benefit from endocrine intervention. As the degree of benefit from endocrine therapy is directly related to the quantity of receptor present in the tumour, the quality of the steroid receptor assays is important. Moreover, since patients entered in multi-centre trials often include stratification based on the receptor status, receptor assays should be comparable between different institutes. ER- and PgR-assays have been evaluated in quality assessment studies for almost 20 years by the EORTC Receptor and Biomarker Study Group. During the QA trial 1998/1999 results were reported by 42 participants performing the Ligand Binding Assay (LBA) and by 39 participants using the Enzyme Immuno-Assay (EIA) kit. Each participant received a set of 12 QA vials to be analysed two at a time at two-monthly intervals. The between-laboratory CVs of ER LBA and EIA amounted to 40–50%. For PgR the between-lab CVs for the EIA method are lower as compared with LBA but still are approx. 30%. Notwithstanding the high deviation in reported values and the high between-lab CVs, the consistency of the participants over the year is acceptable, which pave the way for calibration. Indeed, after normalization of assay results the mean between-lab CVs dropped to 11% for ER LBA, 14% for ER EIA, 9% for PgR LBA and 11% for PgR EIA. Such a reduction of between-laboratory CVs is an essential requirement for the use of steroid receptor data in multicentre clinical studies.

GRAIN SORGHUM WAX AS AN EDIBLE COATING FOR GELATIN‐BASED CANDIES1

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT Gelatin‐based candies were coated with medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil or MCT oil combined with grain sorghum or carnauba wax (8.7% w/w of oil). Compared with uncoated samples, oil/sorghum wax and oil/carnauba wax coatings were equally effective in reducing protein solubility of candies in water (25C) and differences between initial and final diameters of candies subjected to melting. At 0, 5, and 10 days of storage (over calcium sulfate), the candies were evaluated by sensory panelists for surface reflection, pink color, clarity, chalkiness, firmness, adhesiveness, chewiness, cohesiveness, sweetness, sourness, fruit flavor, off‐flavor, and aftertaste. Firmness, adhesiveness, chewiness, cohesiveness, and sourness scores increased (P<0.05) linearly with storage time. Samples treated with sorghum or carnauba wax were less shiny, more opaque, chalkier, and had more intense off‐flavor and aftertaste than uncoated samples. Samples treated with the laboratory‐extracted sorghum wax rated lower than carnauba wax‐treated samples for surface reflection, clarity, chalkiness, off‐flavor, and aftertaste.
Death in the First Person

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

In France, debate on the death penalty runs from the French Revolution until abolition in 1981. One of the more remarkable contributions to the debate is the novel by Victor Hugo, Le dernier jour d'un condamné [The Last Day of a Man Sentenced to Death], first published in 1829, then reprinted with a long, discursive preface in 1832. Hugo makes the strange decision to tell this story of the last day of a man sentenced to die on the guillotine—at four o'clock in the afternoon—in the first person. The implausibility of the narrative technique is a problem, as are Hugo's decisions never to name his condemned man or to give any specifics about his crime. Yet, the first-person perspective develops an undeniable power: getting inside the consciousness of someone about to have his head cut off by the state makes the obscenity of execution powerfully evident. Hugo's novel serves as a starting point for a reflection on the impossible discourses of capital punishment, from the vindictive to the reassuring, including instances from legal opinions.
