Participatory practice guideline development at the intersections of domestic and family violence, mental distress and/or parental substance use

Purpose It is well established that the service system has a poor history of responding holistically to address the needs of children and families living with co-occurring complexities such as domestic violence, parental mental health and/or substance use. The purpose of this conceptual paper is to primarily describe the developmental process used to create guidelines to inform practice at the intersections of domestic violence, mental health and alcohol and other drug services, ensuring that the tactics of coercive control are visible in contexts of complexity. Design/methodology/approach The guidelines were developed through undertaking a literature review, followed by a practice-led research approach with practitioners from 33 organisations across three Australian states, Safe &amp; Together consultants and researchers. Communities of practice composed of practitioners providing interventions to children and families were central to the approach. Data that informed the development of the guidelines included a literature review, ethnographic notes, qualitative interviews, quantitative surveys and reflections. Findings Practice-led research engaged practitioners in the development of guidelines to promote an integrated response to working with families experiencing domestic violence, substance use and mental health issues. The integrated approach drew from the Safe &amp; Together model, emphasising partnering with women survivors, pivoting to the perpetrator, focusing on children’s safety and well-being, promoting worker safety, collaborating across agencies and influencing organisational change. The process demonstrated the usefulness of this integrated approach, using practitioner-based examples. Originality/value Successful iterative processes to develop the guidelines were undertaken to support cultural change towards holistic and collaborative work across multiple sectors and organisations.

A supply chain inventory model for vendor-buyer system with defective items and imperfect inspection process

This paper studies a collaborative vendor-buyer model with defective items and inspection errors. The vendor produces a batch of product and delivers it to the buyer with unequal size policy. The shipment lot delivered from vendor to buyer contains some defective items. The inspection process conducted by the buyer is assumed to be imperfect. The inspector may incorrectly classify non-defective item as defective or incorrectly classify a defective item as non-defective. An easy procedure is developed to find the solutions of the model. The results from numerical example show that the probability of defective items and inspection errors affect the total cost. The type I inspection error gives a greater impact on total cost than that of type II inspection error.

Defect detection on rail surfaces by a vision based system

A new vision based inspection technique for rail surface defects is presented. It replaces visual checks with an automatic inspection system. Colour line-scan cameras and a special image acquisition method- the so called spectral image differencing procedure (SIDP- allow the automatic detection of defects on rail surfaces, like flakes, cracks, grooves or break-offs by means of image processing. The system is already used by a rail manufacturer as inline system, but may also be used on testing vehicles. Practice shows that it produces reliable results even for heavily scaled surfaces, which usually pose serious problems to optical inspection systems due to their irregular texture.

The Aesthetics of Politics: Walter Benjamin's "Theories of German Fascism"

Theories of German Fascism* is the heading Walter Benjamin gives his review of a collection of essays edited by Ernst Jiinger. In this collection, eight authors including Jiinger himself, with his essay Total Mobilization present a picture of World War I and of the warrior within the ideological landscape around 1930.1 With this title, Benjamin captures not merely the theoretical content of the individual contributions but also the fundamental role of the war experience and its subsequent transformation into myth by the German fascist ideology of the 1920s. At the same time, he finds in the essays material for an explanation of the phenomenon of fascism as the aestheticization of politics art explanation worked out more precisely in his later works. In his foreword Ernst Jiinger writes: The inner connection which lies at the basis of the essays collected in this volume is that of German nationalism. It is characteristic of this nationalism that it has lost its connection to both the idealism of our grandfathers and the rationalism of our fathers. Its stance [Haltung] is rather that of an historical realism, and what it is wishes to comprehend is that substance, that layer of an absolute reality of which ideas as well as rational deductions are mere expressions. This stance is thus also a symbolic one, in so far as it comprehends every act, every thought and every feeling as the symbol of a unified and unchangeable being which cannot escape its own inherent laws. (KuK, p. 5) If this excerpt is read in connection with the first sentences of Jiinger's essay, one can begin to recognize in outline form the principle of expression2 here claiming political validity which will subsequently be used by fascism to dominate the masses: The heroic spirit is opposed to seeking the idea of war in a stratum which can be determined by human action. Yet the multifarious transformations and disguises endured in changing times and places by the pure form

Socioeconomic Disparities in North Carolina Communities: Issues of Access and Quality of Licensed Child Care.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship between child care program quality and the socioeconomic contexts of the communities in which they operate. The sample, which included nearly all licensed child care providers in North Carolina in 2008, resulted in 6882 programs nested within 619 zip codes and 78 counties. The cross-sectional design integrated data from multiple sources. Child care program characteristics, including rated program quality, were acquired from the North Carolina Division of Child Development. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau was used to measure socioeconomic characteristics of communities at the zip code level. Data from the North Carolina State Head Start Collaboration Office, North Carolina Office of School Readiness, and the North Carolina Division of Child Development were incorporated to examine program funding and subsidy levels from various sources. Data from the North Carolina Partnership for Children were used to identify quality enhancement funds at the county level. Multi-level modeling was utilized to examine the nested data structure of child care programs within communities. Child care quality varied across communities and program quality was modestly correlated when programs were in closer proximity. Program level characteristics, as well as community level socioeconomics were both related to differential quality among child care programs, suggesting that access to high quality child care varies across community contexts.

Evaluation of a Novel Immunoassay for Lacosamide Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Comparison With a Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Assay

Background: Monitoring serum levels of lacosamide, other than to establish individualized reference ranges may be helpful in several settings, including patients with liver and/or kidney failure or settings that may result in altered pharmacokinetic characteristics and to assess patients' compliance with therapy. In this study, the EurekaOne liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method (in use method) and the ARK immunoassay method (new method) for lacosamide monitoring were compared. Methods: Lacosamide concentrations were determined in 39 patient samples using (1) antiepileptic drug LC-MS/MS kit by EurekaOne on a Thermo Fisher Scientific TSQuantum Access Max system and (2) the lacosamide immunoassay by ARK Diagnostic Inc. (research use only kit), on a Abbott Architect System. Results: Measured total imprecision of the new method is 6.29% at 6.59 μmol/L, 8.82% at 30.20 μmol/L, and 6.45% at 64.51 μmol/L. Passing–Bablok regression analysis showed a nonsignificant intercept of -0.03015 [95% confidence interval (CI), −1.2243 to 0.8593] and a slope of 1.05 (95% CI, 0.9973–1.1166), showing that the method does not deviate from linearity and absence of proportional systematic error. Bland–Altman analysis showed a systematic bias of -3.296% (95% CI, −5.81 to −0.78) with 95% of the LC-MS/MS—ARK mean % of differences ranging from −18.5 to 11.9. Despite this bias, data of the combined imprecision of the 2 methods show that the new method is still acceptable within the maximum allowable error of 15%. Conclusions: The performance of the new ARK method on the Architect system is acceptable and may be used routinely to measure serum lacosamide concentration in the clinic although the nature of the bias has to be carefully addressed.

P02-115 - Audit of Discussion About Contraception and the Risks of Pregnancy with Female Service Users

Objectives To compare the current standards of clinical practice with the recommendations of NICE guidelines (CG 45). NICE guidelines (CG 45) on Antenatal and Postnatal Mental health suggest that Healthcare professionals should discuss contraception and the risks of pregnancy including relapse, risk to the foetus and risks associated with the stopping or changing medication with all women of child-bearing potential who have an existing mental disorder and or who are taking Psychotropic medication. Method A standardised questionnaire was answered by 50 female patients out of 60, attending New bridge unit in Birmingham for the Outpatient appointment in the month of November -2007. The age group was between 18 and 50. The questionnaire was handed out at the reception and Doctors encouraged patients to fill out the questionnaire. Confidentiality was not compromised. Results 12 (24%) patients were aware of contraception. 17 (34%) knew about the risks of relapse during pregnancy. 15 (30%) women recognised the risks of stopping or changing the medication and 13 (26%) agreed that the risks to foetus were informed to them. This indicated there was room for improvement. Conclusions To improve the standards of practice · The Audit report that highlighted standards, was disseminated to all the clinicians through formal power point Audit presentation and through emails. · The importance of passing on the relevant information to the patients was incorporated in Doctors Handbook for Junior Doctors.

Wellbeing at work and the development of a questionnaire

Background. Improved employee wellbeing has been suggested to contribute to individual motivation and health, as well as to corporate competitiveness (Grawitch et al, 2006). However, in order to reach these potential benefits, we need to better understand the underlying factors that create wellbeing at work and healthy work environments. Aim. The aim of the study is to explore how a sample of Swedish blue- and white collar workers interprets the concepts of healthy work environments and workplace wellbeing, as a basis for the development of a questionnaire. In addition, a second aim is to investigate the psychometric properties of the subsequent questionnaire. Method. Interviews focusing on healthy work environments and workplace wellbeing were undertaken with managers and employees (n=62) at three medium-sized companies. All interviews were verbatim transcribed and analyzed in order to identify factors reported as important for healthy work environments and workplace wellbeing. The interview findings, together with factors identified in a systematic review about indicators of healthy work environments (Lindberg &amp; Vingård, 2012) were used to develop items for a questionnaire aimed at measuring underlying factors for workplace wellbeing. The questionnaire, including newly constructed “workplace wellbeing items” as well as well-established questions for employee health, working conditions, and organizational factors was distributed to all employees at the three companies, where 74 % (n=303) responded. A retest survey was distributed to a subsample of the participants. 86 % (n=107) responded. Preliminary results. The interview data suggested a broad spectrum of factors to be significant for establishing healthy work environments and workplace wellbeing. These factors represented six categories: Psychosocial climate; Physical working conditions; Communication; Management; Autonomy &amp; Competence; and Values. The survey data showed that the single most important statement for workplace wellbeing was “that work- and family life can be combined in a good way”. Further psychometric properties, including reliability and factor analysis, are being conducted and will be presented at the conference. Conclusion. A healthy work environment is believed to hold great potential for both individuals and companies. With a mixed method approach this study test a set of questions measuring factors for a healthy work environment and wellbeing at work. References Grawitch MJ, Gottschalk M, Munz DC.

Machine Learning Models to Predict Multiclass Protein Classifications

This paper investigates three machine learning models and a comparison was conducted using different performance measures to determine which algorithm would effectively predict protein classifications based on residue count, structure of molecular weight, and protein sequences. Decision Trees, Random Forests and Extra Trees models are applied on a structural protein sequences dataset. This dataset also contains other features for extraction methods and details on protein structures. Based on the experiments that were conducted on these models, it was demonstrated that Extra Trees model had comparable results but marginally better than the Decision Trees and Random Forests models.

BACTERIAL LEACHING OF THE METALS FROM THE SPENT MASS OF FUEL ELEMENTS

Aim. To establish the possibility of bacterial leaching of zinc and manganese from the electrode mass of spent batteries. Methods. To determine the growth of acidophilic chemolithotrophic bacteria of acidophilic chemolithotrophic bacteria(ACB) there were used the media of different component and concentration composition. Ferrous iron and thiosulfate were used as energy sources. The amount of cells was determined by seeding on solid medium after tenfold serial dilutions. Stained microscopic preparation was examined by light microscopy. The method of atomic absorption spectroscopy with using AAS-1, S-115PK Selmi instruments was used to determine the content of metals in solutions. The results of determining the structural analysis of the electrode mass of spent batteries were recorded on a URS-50IM diffractometer. Results. The possibility of using AHB for leaching manganese and zinc from the electrode mass of spent batteries was established. The maximum metal leaching within a week was recorded when there were used the media 9K1 with ferrous iron at concentration of 44.5 g/dm3. When extending the term of leaching to a forthnight there were registered high intensity of biological leaching of the metals from electrode mass of spent batteries only in case of using the nutrient medium No. 15. It was shown that the using of the suspension Acidithiobacillus ferroooxidans MF Lv 7 increases the degree of manganese extraction to 30.0%, and zinc to 99.8%. The differences in the structure of the electrode mass of spent batteries before and after bacterial leaching, namely the absence of ZnO and MnO, decrease in the amount of MnO2, increase in Mn2O3, and appearance of Mn3O4 has been shown with help of X-ray diffraction analysis. Conclusions. The possibility of using ACV for bacterial leaching of metals from the electrode mass of spent batteries was shown. The obtained results make it possible to additionally getting zinc and manganese and preventing environmental pollution by environmentally hazardous compounds.

Effect of pressure and temperature on the refractive indices of benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and water

An interferometer for measuring change in index of refraction with pressure is described. Absolute indices of refraction are reported to five decimals for benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and water at pressures as high as 1100 bars over a small temperature range. The results of replicate measurements agree to within ±0.0001. Various equations relating index and specific volume show systematic deviations in all cases. At constant specific volume, the index of carbon tetrachloride increases with increasing temperature, while the index of water decreases with increasing temperature. The refractive index of benzene shows no effect due solely to temperature within the experimental error. Possible explanations for this behavior are discussed.

Characterization and phylogenetic diversity of <i>Allorhizobium vitis</i> isolated from grapevine in Morocco

This study of recently crown-gall-infested vineyards demonstrated that All. vitis is the only causative agent and revealed the presence of nonpathogenic Agrobacterium strain within tumours. Moreover, as the genetic diversity of the All. vitis isolates is relatively narrow, this study lays the basis for further analyses on the evolution of the disease, on the dissemination of the pTi and more globally on the fate of the different genomic groups in this newly colonized environment.

Pornography in perspective: social response in the noncensoring society

This chapter attempts to break down a false antithesis that has dominated debate about social policy toward pornography; it also discusses a range of policy options available to governmental and to nongovernmental entities in responding to pornography. The false antithesis is the notion that there are only two possible collective responses to pornography as a social issue: the imposition of censorship, or the toleration of anarchy. Those who have sought to use government power to minimize the possible effects of pornography have usually assumed that the only effective way of controlling the social damage believed to be caused by pornography is a system of prior restraint enforced with substantial criminal penalties.

Cocoon of the silkworm<i>Antheraea pernyi</i>as an example of a thermally insulating biological interface

Biological materials are hierarchically organized complex composites, which embrace multiple practical functionalities. As an example, the wild silkworm cocoon provides multiple protective functions against environmental and physical hazards, promoting the survival chance of moth pupae that resides inside. In the present investigation, the microstructure and thermal property of the Chinese tussah silkworm (Antheraea pernyi) cocoon in both warm and cold environments under windy conditions have been studied by experimental and numerical methods. A new computational fluid dynamics model has been developed according to the original fibrous structure of the Antheraea pernyi cocoon to simulate the unique heat transfer process through the cocoon wall. The structure of the Antheraea pernyi cocoon wall can promote the disorderness of the interior air, which increases the wind resistance by stopping most of the air flowing into the cocoon. The Antheraea pernyi cocoon is wind-proof due to the mineral crystals deposited on the outer layer surface and its hierarchical structure with low porosity and high tortuosity. The research findings have important implications to enhancing the thermal function of biomimetic protective textiles and clothing.
