Hospital adoption of antimicrobial stewardship programmes in Gulf Cooperation Council countries: A review of existing evidence

© 2018 International Society for Chemotherapy of Infection and Cancer Antimicrobial resistance is increasing at an alarming rate in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) owing to the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials. Novel and rare multidrug-resistant strains can spread globally since the region is host to the largest expatriate population in the world as well as a pilgrimage destination for more than 4 million people annually. Adoption of antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASPs) could improve the use of antimicrobials and reduce antimicrobial resistance in the region. However, despite the established benefits of these interventions, little is known about the level of their adoption in the region and the impact of these programmes on antimicrobial use and resistance. This study aimed to review existing evidence on the level of adoption of ASPs, the facilitators and barriers to their adoption, and outcomes of their adoption in GCC hospitals

Data underlying the publication: Validating Rigid-Body Dynamics Simulators on Real-World Data for Robotic Tossing Applications

Collection used to support all archives stored in the 4TU Research Data repository that are associated to the paper: "Validating Rigid-Body Dynamics Simulators on Real-World Data for Robotic Tossing Applications". The archives are also listed in the TU/e Impact-Aware Robotics Database accessible via the URL https://www.impact-aware-robotics-database.tue.nl/ The above URL provides additional search functionalities to explore the content of each dataset contained in the collection and it is intended to be used as the main access point for general users

I.AM. archive containing long range box-toss experiments with Box009 for validation of impact models

I.AM. archive as part of the Impact-Aware Robotics Archives Collection. This archive contains recordings of experiments that are executed under the scenario of TOSS. In these recordings, Box009 is manually tossed on a stationary conveyor. The purpose of these experiments is to validate the box-conveyor impact modeling framework to assess how well it can predict the rest-pose of the box. This modeling framework is used within the H2020 I.AM. project (www.i-am-project.eu). The involved contact is between the object and the environment, which in these recordings are Box009 and a conveyor (Conveyor002), respectively. All the recordings in the archive were performed at the Innovation Lab of Vanderlande, located within the TU/e campus. More information about the dataset, the objects, and the environments used, can be found on https://impact-aware-robotics-database.tue.nl/

Impact Aware Manipulation (I.AM.) archive containing box-drop experiments for Parameter Identification of Box006

I.AM. archive as part of the Impact-Aware Robotics Archives Collection. This archive contains recordings of experiments that are executed under the scenario of TOSS. In these recordings, a UR10 robot is used to toss and drop Box006 on a conveyor belt. The purpose of these experiments is to obtain data for Parameter Identification as part of a modeling framework. This modeling framework is used within the H2020 I.AM. project (www.i-am-project.eu) to predict the end pose of a certain box on a conveyor belt, after it is tossed. This means that the involved contact is between the object and the environment, which in these recordings are Box006 and a conveyor, respectively. All the recordings in the archive were performed at the Innovation Lab of Vanderlande, located within the TU/e campus. More information can be found on https://impact-aware-robotics-database.tue.nl/
