Increasing value-adding patient care by applying a modified TCAB program

Purpose The purpose of this study is to evaluate a development process aimed at increasing registered nurses' (RNs) working time use in value-adding patient care by applying a modified Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB) program at inpatient units of two tertiary hospitals. Design/methodology/approach Basic data for the development process were collected on RNs' working time use via external observation in 2011 (RNs = 113). Nursing work was redesigned and implemented by 12 multi-professional teams during 2012-2013. The development process was evaluated by repeating the collection of RNs' working time use data in 2013 (RNs = 95) and by analyzing the memos of the development teams via deductive content analysis ( N = 64). Findings RNs' working time use showed statistically significant increases in value-adding care and direct patient care but decreases in non-value-added work and miscellaneous work. Changes in the nursing work model, division of labor and the nursing work environment all affected RNs' working time use. Practical implications The development process progressed distinctively in each unit, as shown by the results of the development work. Clinical RNs had key roles as innovators and change agents, yet the engagement of nursing managers was most essential for the success of the development work. Originality/value Even minor changes in nurses' daily work profile can have considerable effects on RNs' work. The TCAB program was shown to be a useful method in developing RNs' work also in psychiatric units.

Controlled Voltage Source Vector Control for Switched Reluctance Motors Using PWM Method

This paper proposes controlled voltage source (CVS) vector control for switched reluctance motors (SRMs) using the PWM method. This proposed technique can achieve high controllability for variable speed drives, low current ripple and low noise operation, and high motor efficiency at high speed. Moreover, its implementation is easy because the controller design does not require complicated offline data such as the magnetization characteristics. To verify the effectiveness, an experiment was conducted to compare the performances of the proposed technique and a conventional unipolar drive using the hysteresis comparator method.

MONITORING OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ANATOMICAL CONDITIONS IN MODERN TREATMENT OF CONGENITAL FOOT DEFORMITIES SUMMARY This dissertation discusses the questions related to the solution of residual defects after treatment of congenital clubfoot, mainly residual metatarsus adductus. The records of our patiens were divided into parts, namely historical and comparitive. In the historical part patients operated by basal osteotomy of I. - V. metatarsal (Berman - Gartland) and patients operated by transfer of anterior tibialis tendon were evaluated. The comparitive group comprised of patients operated by a double tarsal wedge osteotomy or a combination of medial cuneiform osteotomy along with basal osteotomy of II. - V. metatarsal. From 1996 - 2013, we operated a total of 58 children (39 boys, 19 girls) with residual deformity of the forefoot. A total of 66 feet were operated upon. The mean age at the time of surgery was 6.4 years (interval 3 - 20 years). In children older than 3 years with a flexible residual varus, transfer of tibialis anterior tendon to the outer aspect of foot was carried out. A total of 18 feet were operated upon by this technique. No postoperative complications were recorded. In two patients, for persistent postoperative residual deformity, basal osteotomy of I. - V. metatarsal (Berman -...

The Role of Social Participation for Women's Ability to Combine Motherhood and Employment Security in Mali and Ghana

This study investigates the role of social participation for the achievements of women in employment security and their fertility choices. In Capability terms, this implies exploring the circumstances in which women combine motherhood and employment security. Employment security is defined as having access to a job with more desirable characteristics, such as stable payment or in a more formal sector of the economy. The DHS and Afrobarometer data are used for two African countries: Ghana and Mali. Estimations from a multilevel model suggest that the resources of the context are a relevant explanatory factor for female employment security. The latent contextual effect for employment security is more pronounced in Mali (33%) than in Ghana (17%). Results confirm that the two countries are very different despite certain common effects. In both countries, social participation seems to play a role in the fertility-labour link, especially for women with more than four children.

Issues of Rural Development in Mainstream Journalism: Exploring New Strategies for Media Intervention

The present study, which is in the form of a vision document, intends to explore alternative ways of linking up expanding media business with the rural development in such a way that both rural economy and media economy get entrenched into a win–win situation. In the process, the study offers an overview of how the print and electronic media have been consistently neglecting the coverage of rural issues that has resulted in the lopsided growth of Indian economy. The study further argues that extending support to rural issues/problems of development has become, for long, solely the job of government driven media without the participation of either public or private sector electronic media. A number of quantitative studies documented earlier only proved that the space devoted for the development journalism in the mainstream press was negligible compared to their marketing and industry coverage. While the success of rural newspapers has the dubious distinction of espousing the cause of rural India, a holistic approach to the problems of rural India is yet wanting on the media front. Grounded in qualitative communication research, the present study discursively endeavours to offer some strategies of expansion of media that offers new vistas of business and marketing for the media industry by converting the most important and burning issues of rural India into windows of inclusive growth and progress, besides bridging the digital divide between the rural and the urban India.

The role of members of the pertussis toxin-sensitive family of G proteins in coupling receptors to the activation of the G protein-gated inwardly rectifying potassium channel

Inwardly rectifying potassium (K + ) channels gated by G proteins (Kir3.x family) are widely distributed in neuronal, atrial, and endocrine tissues and play key roles in generating late inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, slowing the heart rate and modulating hormone release. They are directly activated by G βγ subunits released from G protein heterotrimers of the G i/o family upon appropriate receptor stimulation. Here we examine the role of isoforms of pertussis toxin (PTx)-sensitive G protein α subunits (G iα1–3 and G oαA ) in mediating coupling between various receptor systems (A 1 , α 2A , D 2S , M 4 , GABA B 1a+2, and GABA B 1b+2) and the cloned counterpart of the neuronal channel (Kir3.1+3.2A). The expression of mutant PTx-resistant G i/oα subunits in PTx-treated HEK293 cells stably expressing Kir3.1+3.2A allows us to selectively investigate that coupling. We find that, for those receptors (A 1 , α 2A ) known to interact with all isoforms, G iα1–3 and G oαA can all support a significant degree of coupling to Kir3.1+3.2A. The M 4 receptor appears to preferentially couple to G iα2 while another group of receptors (D 2S , GABA B 1a+2, GABA B 1b+2) activates the channel predominantly through G βγ liberated from G oA heterotrimers. Interestingly, we have also found a distinct difference in G protein coupling between the two splice variants of GABA B 1. Our data reveal selective pathways of receptor activation through different G i/oα isoforms for stimulation of the G protein-gated inwardly rectifying K + channel.

Santa Orosia: a Thaumaturgic Saint

Windy Jaca, up on its terrace, its back to the snowy Colorado, is especially connected with that disastrous forerunner of the Spanish revolution, which coming to premature birth ended in premature death. We may see there the Street of the Martyrs, renamed by a Republic, born after all without bloodshed, in memory of its first blood sacrifice. Yet in spite of its rather red modernity, little Jaca still cherishes rags and tatters of tradition, and up there on its chilly height a local thaumaturgical goddess holds as much sway as she would in Andalusia. On the 25th of June the town celebrates its feast in honour of Santa Orosia. That is the moment to see the old Jaca behaving as it did before its seventeen towers came down, and its encircling walls were laid flat.

A rapid method for quantitative determination of pectic substances

A rapid and quantitative method has been developed to determine the amount of soluble and insoluble pectins. The method does not require extraction or purification, even plant homogenates may be used, and it can be applied to pectins of various origin. The determination of pectic substances by previous methods can be performed only on pectins in solution. The present rapid method is based on the titration of deesterified pectins after acid precipitation. The speed and simplicity also makes this quantitative method highly useful for the determination of pectins during food processing.

Numerical Study on Error Catastrophe of Adaptive Mutants and Their Stability

We study an error catastrophe of a self-replicating system, in which a number of bit strings with variable mutation rate compete to survive in a given rugged fitness landscape. The error catastrophe is known as a phase transition from an ordered state to a disordered state when a mutation rate increases. As a control parameter, we choose a selection pressure rather than a mutation rate. We find that our system shows the error catastrophe when the selection pressure decreases. An order parameter is introduced and the error catastrophe is studied for three types of mutant; (a) each bit has a fixed mutation rate, (b) each bit has a common variable mutation rate, and (c) each bit has a variable mutation rate. We also analyze stability of the system on the basis of the eigenvalue and the eigenvector of the transition matrix.

Ex-Vivo Permeation Study of an Antifungal Drug, Loaded in NLC, Designed and Optimized by Factorial Design

Lipid-based drug delivery systems are frequently employed as they may increase the solubility and bioavailability of lipophilic medications. An improved generation of lipid nanoparticles known as Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs) has the potential to overcome the disadvantages associated with conventional lipid-based formulations and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). The current study employed Design-Expert® software (Version 7.1.5) to perform an optimization study using 23 Factorial design. The study involved Homogenizer Speed (RPM), the Amount of Liquid Lipid (mL), and the amount of Solid Lipid (g) as independent variables. The 8 formulations provided by the design software, were prepared by using hot homogenization technique. The Drug and other material’s compatibility analysis were carried out using FTIR analysis. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to measure the particle size of the NLC formulations. The Ex-vivo Drug Permeation Study was performed by using goat abdominal skin, obtained from slaughter’s house, in the Franz Diffusion Cell. FTIR results stated that the excipients and the drug were compatible, as there were no significant changes of the peaks were noticed. The Particle Size of Formulations was in the range of 17.57 nm to 279.4 nm. The Entrapment efficiency of the NLC formulations was in the range of 63.1% to 98 %. The percentage of drug permeated from the formulations in 7 hours was in the range of 33.07 ± 0.00015 % to 61.86 ± 0.017%. According to this study, the optimized NLC fulfils the all criteria and is proven as a suitable topical drug delivery system.

Effects of exogenous zinc on the physiological characteristics and enzyme activities of <i>Passiflora edulis</i> Sims f<i>. edulis</i> seedlings

Passionflower ( Passiflora edulis Sims) is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas for edible, medicinal and skin care product processing, and the market demand is large. Zinc (Zn) is a necessary trace element for plant growth and development. In many countries, the content of Zn in soil is low and/or bioavailability is low. The exogenous application of Zn has become a common agronomic measure in agriculture. However, the effect of Zn on the physiological characteristics and enzyme activity of passionflower seedlings is not clear. In this study, pot experiments were conducted to analyse the effects of different concentrations of Zn (0, 200, 400, 800 mg kg −1 ) on the plant growth, photosynthetic pigments, osmotic regulators, membrane system and antioxidant enzyme system of purple passionflower ( Passiflora edulis Sims f. edulis ) seedlings, and Pearson correlation and principal component analyses were performed. The results showed that (1) the 200 mg kg −1 Zn treatment increased the contents of chlorophyll a (37.65%), chlorophyll b (41.22%), chlorophyll a+b (38.59%) and carotenoids (29.74%). The value of chlorophyll a/b changed little and had no effect on leaf growth. (2) The contents of proline (Pro) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in P . edulis Sims f . edulis seedlings treated with 400 mg kg −1 Zn increased significantly by 116.84% and 42.69%, respectively. The activities of catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) increased by 16.82% and 18.70%, respectively. Superoxide dismutase (SOD), leaf area (LA), leaf perimeter (LP) and leaf width (LW) decreased significantly by 47.20%, 19.75%, 8.32% and 11.97%, respectively. (3) 800 mg kg −1 Zn significantly increased the contents of Pro (202.56%) and MDA (26.7%) and the activities of CAT (16.00%) and POD (67.00%), while the soluble sugar (SS), SOD, LA, LP and LW decreased significantly by 36.67%, 32.86%, 23.36%, 8.32% and 11.18%, respectively. (4) There was a significant positive correlation between Pro and photosynthetic pigments and between SOD and leaf growth and a significant negative correlation between POD and SS and between SOD and MDA. (5) A low concentration (200 mg kg −1 ) of Zn promoted the growth of P . edulis Sims f . edulis seedlings and allowed stress caused by high Zn concentrations to be tolerated. The results of this study can provide a reference for the application of Zn fertilizer to P . edulis Sims f. edulis .
