Whether pre-operative prostate size affects BipoLEP outcomes remains unclear. We aim to investigate outcomes and complications based on preoperative volume. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed a prospectively collected single-institutional database of BipoLEPs. We collected demographics, peri-operative details, complications and patient-reported outcomes at 6 weeks, 4 months and 1 year post-operatively. RESULTS: From 9/2015-11/2020, 310 patients underwent BipoLEP; 296 had accurate volume data and minimum 4-month follow-up. Median pre-operative prostate volume was 74.5 g (range 17-360 g). Patients were analyzed by large ( >75 g n=148) versus small (<75 g n=148) volume. Larger volume patients were older (72 vs. 69; p <0.05) and were more likely to be in retention (37% vs. 25%; p <0.05). Patient reported outcomes are detailed in Figure 1. Patients reported similar rates of stress incontinence (any degree) at 4 months (20% large vs. 14% small, p=0.21). Only 3 patients (2 large, 1 small) requested anti-incontinence interventions at 1-year. Bladder neck contracture occurred exclusively in patients with smaller prostates (n=16, 11%); small volume patients also had more urethral strictures (7% vs. 1%, p <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Following BipoLEP, patients with small prostates have higher rates of bladder neck contractures and urethral strictures along with worse IPSS scores and BI’s at all time points. Alternative modalities may be considered for smaller glands.

Waiting time and patient satisfaction: Survey of patients seeking care at the general outpatient clinic of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital

Background: Improving efficiency in patient flow and the satisfaction of patients attending outpatient clinics may require paying close attention to the actual time spent by patients at the various service points during their visit to the hospital. This study assessed the time clients spent at various service stations, the level of their satisfaction with the time spent and the relationship between waiting time and satisfaction for patients seeking care at the General Outpatient Clinic of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital.Methods: A total of 422 adult patients seeking care at the clinic were selected by time-limited systematic random sampling and followed through all their engagements within the hospital. Details of the time spent at each service station and clients' satisfaction with the time spent were collected using record sheet and a patient satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analysed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 20. The statistical effect sizes and confidence intervals of measured outcomes were reported. The P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: More of the patients were female (58.6%), married (65.3%) and regular visitors to the clinic (72.6%). The mean time of 83 min was spent on the movement to the hospital and further 274 min to conclude all relevant activities in the course of seeking general practice service in the hospital. The average time of consultation with the doctors was 19 min, whereas the longest mean waiting times of 77 and 50 min were spent while waiting to access radiological and laboratory services, respectively. More patients were satisfied with the time they spent consulting the doctors (93%) or waiting to have their vital signs checked by the nurses (83%) than they were with the time taken to access radiological (30%) and laboratory services (47%). There was a significant inverse relationship between the level of patient satisfaction and the duration of time spent at the service stations.Conclusion: The waiting time for patient accessing general outpatient care in the teaching hospital is long and could be a major contributor to negative patient experiences. There is a need for system redesign, establishment of patients' appointment scheduling and other interventions by service providers that will ensure efficient and effective management of patient flow, timely access to health services and an overall improvement of patient experience with the general outpatient encounter.

Health-related quality of life and health needs among Vietnamese immigrant women in Taiwan

Background: Taiwan recently has been faced with the migration of numbers of women from Southeast Asian (SEA) countries, from Vietnam particularly. The group of immigrant women is highly susceptible to many health problems, due to the barriers of language, culture, financial hardship, and lack of support systems. Consequently, those factors effect on their health-related quality of life and health needs. Purpose: to explore the levels of health-related quality of life and health needs and examine the associations among social demographic variables, health-related quality of life and health needs of Vietnamese immigrant women in Taiwan. Research method: A cross-sectional study was used in this study by using instruments including the demographic inventory; the structured health needs questionnaires; and the short form SF-36 health survey to measure the health-related quality of life. The now-ball sampling methods were utilized to recruit study participants who living in Taipei. Data was analyzed by using the SPSS 18.0. Results: Health needs negatively associated with spouse’s age, religion, and employment status, household income, Chinese confidence, and providing care (p < .05). Health related quality of life components have positive relationship with spouse’s employment status, spouse’s disease or disability, household income, daily Chinese speaking, and Chinese confidence (p < .05). Mental and social health needs significantly negatively related to all components of HRQOL (p < .01). Conclussion: Vietnamese women with higher level of social demographic status and Chinese proficiency have less health needs and better health related quality of life; women with less health needs have better health related quality of life. Multidisciplinary involvement is necessary to reduce health needs and improve health related quality of life among Vietnamese immigrant in Taiwan.

Sebastiano Serlio (1475–1554[?])

Sebastiano Serlio was an Italian architect. In his "Second Book of Architecture," published in 1545, he included a section on theatre. It was the first European writing about scenography since ancient Roman times. He explained how to create scenic illusions through the use of perspective and how to adapt perspective painting techniques for the stage. He also provided a template for the construction of theatres, loosely based on Roman models, but now with the addition of a scenic stage to accommodate perspective scenery. This would have profound effects on the development of stage design and theatre architecture throughout Europe for the next few centuries.

Virtual Community Models in Relation to E-Business Models

Virtual communities were initially recognized as social phenomena. This is evident from the definition of virtual community as "a social aggregation that emerges from the Net when enough people carry on public discussions long enough, with sufficient human feeling, to form webs of personal relationships in cyberspace" (Rheingold, 2000, p. 5). The idea of a virtual community as a profitable business model was subsequently raised by Hagel and Armstrong (1996, 1997) who claimed that the benefits of a virtual community would arise from two aspects: from the unique capabilities of the digital medium where the virtual community is located in and from the virtual community model itself. The latter aspect is what differentiates virtual communities from other online Web sites. Unlike other online Web sites, a virtual community is intended to create a "sense of community" that binds individuals to the Web site and serves as the "push" factor for repeat visits. Table 1 summarizes some of the proposed business benefits stemming from a virtual community (Bank & Daus, 2002; Hagel & Armstrong, 1996, 1997). Although the startup cost of a virtual community is comparatively low, the costs of maintaining it are significantly higher (Hagel & Armstrong, 1997; Kim, 2000). Therefore the decision of whether to create a virtual community in support of an e-commerce Web site is not to be taken lightly. Critics have also questioned the validity of the suggested benefits of a virtual community, particularly since there are no clear-cut measures to verify that these benefits can be attributed to the virtual community. Additionally, the fundamental premise which the virtual community relies on for its success, that is, its unique capacity for interaction amongst members and/or with the company (Balasubramanian & Mahajan, 2001; Lechner & Hummel, 2002; Mynatt, O'Day, Adler, & Ito, 1997), is subject to high risks of failure. This is because customers can always turn this capability to the company's disadvantage by spreading adverse comments about the company's products and services. Hence, a virtual community actually has the means to work both for as well as Request access from your librarian to read this chapter's full text.

Re-Imagining Global Education in the Neoliberal Age

In this chapter, I want to explore the lasting impact of neoliberalism on the development of global education, in both K-12 and higher education sectors, in the United Kingdom and Canada. In so doing, I hope to illustrate the urgent need for a reassessment of, and reinvestment in, global education's visionary goals at a time when economic interests, as determined by the global free market, trump the broader concerns of planetary health and the common good.

General practice: professional preparation for a pandemic

General practice will play a key role in both prevention and management of an influenza pandemic. Australian pandemic plans acknowledge a role for general practice, but there are few published data addressing the issues that general practitioners and their practices will face in dealing with such a crisis. The outcome will revolve around preparation in three key areas: Definition of the role of general practice within a broad primary care pandemic response, and adequate preparation within general practices so they can play that role well. Planning exercises and forums must include GPs, and rehearsals must include practical experience for general practices and their staff. Local Divisions of General Practice and GP practices can advocate for this, can define their role, and can prepare by using pandemic preparedness checklists; Definition and enactment of communication strategies to facilitate transfer of useful clinical and administrative data from practices and rapid dissemination of information into the community via general practice; Resource provision, which should be centrally funded but locally distributed, with personal protective equipment, vaccines and antivirals readily available for distribution. Resources must include support for human resource management to ensure appropriate health care professionals reach areas of workforce demand. Administrative, clinical and financial resources must be available to train GPs and practices in pandemic awareness and response.

Roadside bear viewing opportunities in Yellowstone National Park: characteristics, trends, and influence of whitebark pine

Abstract Opportunities for viewing grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) and American black bears (U. americanus) from roadways in Yellowstone National Park (YNP) have increased in recent years. Unlike the panhandling bears common prior to the 1970s, current viewing usually involves bears feeding on natural foods. We define roadside bear viewing opportunities that cause traffic congestion as “bear-jams.” We investigated characteristics of bear-jams and their frequency relative to whitebark pine (Pinus albicaulis) cone production, an important fall food for bears, during 1990–2004. We observed a difference in diel distribution of bear-jams between species (χ2 = 70.609, 4 df, P &lt; 0.001) with the occurrence of grizzly bear-jams being more crepuscular. We found evidence for decreasing distances between bears and roadways and increasing durations of bears-jams. The annual proportion of bear-jams for both species occurring after the week of 13–19 August were 3–4 times higher during poor cone crop years than good. We suggest that native foods found in road corridors may be especially important to some individual bears during years exhibiting poor whitebark pine crops. We discuss management implications of threats to whitebark pine and increasing habituation of bears to people.

Education and Indoctrination

This school, like the previous one, is located on the outskirts of a large conurbation and has over a thousand pupils, of which about 10 per cent are coloured. Here similarities tend to fall away. It is a comprehensive school but has passed through the phase of being a secondary modern. The original building on the site began as a central high school in the 1930s. By becoming officially a comprehensive school in the mid-1950s it seems to have lost something of its earlier academic status. For ten years it functioned as a secondary modern school, despite the label. Only since 1967 has it begun to fulfil the comprehensive intention. Two further buildings erected on the site in the early 1960s have increased the facilities offered by the school. It takes both boys and girls and had at the time of the experiment developed a sixth form of approaching ninety students. The school as a unit is embedded in an extensive complex of prewar council estate development on garden city principles with some private housing. Smaller developments and in-filling has occurred since the war. Inevitably, amenities are limited, shop footage, for example, being dependent upon the size of the various estates. For adults public houses strategically placed and social clubs offer some sort of community focus. A number of youth clubs attempt to meet the needs of the youngsters. There is a reasonably good transport service allowing quick access to the inner city and readily available amenities. From what has been said, it would seem reasonable to suggest that the school intake reflects a wide variety of parental backgrounds. Again, the coloured intake is less homogeneous than in the case of school A. It includes pupils of West Indian, African and Chinese origin as well as Asians. Quite a number are British by birth.

RESPON TANAMAN CABAI KERITING (Capsicum annuum L.) TERHADAP KOMBINASI TAKARAN KOMPOS DAN TRICHODERMA sp.

This study aims to determine the response of curly chili plants to the combination of compost and trichoderma measurements. This research was conducted in Sanrobone Village, Sanrobone District, Takalar Regency, starting from August 2020 to January 2021. This research was conducted using a two-factor factorial randomized block design with four replications. The first factor, Trichoderma application which consisted of 4 treatment levels, namely control, Trichoderma 10 g/plant, Trichoderma 20 g/plant, Trichoderma 30 g/plant. The second factor is the application of compost which consists of 3 levels, namely control, compost 5 tons/ha and compost 10 tons/ha). Parameters observed were plant height, number of flowers, number of fruit per plant, fruit weight per plant, fruit weight per bed and production per hectare. The results showed that the application of trichoderma and compost and the interaction between trichoderma and compost on chili plants had no significant effect on plant height, number of flowers, number of fruits, fruit weight per plant, fruit weight per bed and production per hectare. Interaction of trichoderma sp. and compost had no significant effect, but tended to give the best results in the treatment of 30 g of trichoderma sp. with the addition of 5 tons of compost/ha to production per hectare, which is 30.36 tons/ha. Giving trichoderma sp. gave no significant effect on all plant observation parameters but tended to have the best effect on the treatment of 20 g trichoderma/plant on an average plant height of 33.75 cm. The application of compost had no significant effect on all plant observation parameters but tended to have the best effect on the application of 10 tons of compost/ha on the number of chili plants, namely 42.25.

The Heritagization and Institutionalization of <i>Taekkyeon</i>: An Intangible Cultural Heritage

Taekkyeon, a Korean traditional martial art focussing on the harmony of the individual and community has been listed as the first martial art of the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2011. Though taekkyeon involves competitive elements as a martial art, taekkyeon masters and practitioners have emphasized its natural and playful characteristics, with connecting the peace of the inner self and the unity of the community. The increasing demand on the preservation and promotion of taekkyeon as an intangible cultural tradition has involved the intertwined processes of heritagization and institutionalization. This paper identifies and conceptualizes the two development processes of preserving and promoting taekkyeon.
