Using Animated Infographics to Educate Starters on the Saudi Labor and Workmen Law

The present study aims to educate starters to work on the Saudi Labor and Workmen Law and making a proposal to educate them by employing animated infographics. It also defines the quality of the animated infographics from the perspective of the target group to educate starters to work on the Saudi Labor and Workmen Law. Therefore, the authors selected and designed animated infographics using Vyond software of the most important articles in the implementing regulation of the Saudi Labor and Workmen Law from signing to terminating a work contract to educate the fresh graduates and starters in Saudi Arabia. They also developed and applied a questionnaire to (50) fresh graduates and starters to measure the feasibility of employing animated infographics in raising their awareness of the Saudi Labor and Workmen Law. The results showed that the animated infographic proved effective in raising the awareness of the participants of the Saudi Labor and Workmen Law. The authors recommended the need to employ animated infographics in educating starters on the developments of the Saudi Labor and Workmen Law to enhance learning. They also recommended that the field training supervisors should use the designed animated infographic in developing the programs of graduate qualification for the labor market

A low-cost test-bed for real-time landmark tracking

A low-cost vehicle test-bed system was developed to iteratively test, refine and demonstrate navigation algorithms before attempting to transfer the algorithms to more advanced rover prototypes. The platform used here was a modified radio controlled (RC) car. A microcontroller board and onboard laptop computer allow for either autonomous or remote operation via a computer workstation. The sensors onboard the vehicle represent the types currently used on NASA-JPL rover prototypes. For dead-reckoning navigation, optical wheel encoders, a single axis gyroscope, and 2-axis accelerometer were used. An ultrasound ranger is available to calculate distance as a substitute for the stereo vision systems presently used on rovers. The prototype also carries a small laptop computer with a USB camera and wireless transmitter to send real time video to an off-board computer. A real-time user interface was implemented that combines an automatic image feature selector, tracking parameter controls, streaming video viewer, and user generated or autonomous driving commands. Using the test-bed, real-time landmark tracking was demonstrated by autonomously driving the vehicle through the JPL Mars yard. The algorithms tracked rocks as waypoints. This generated coordinates calculating relative motion and visually servoing to science targets. A limitation for the current system is serial computing−each additional landmark is tracked in order−but since each landmark is tracked independently, if transferred to appropriate parallel hardware, adding targets would not significantly diminish system speed

Comparing the clinical and prognostic impact of proximal versus nonproximal lesions in dominant right coronary artery ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic significance of culprit lesion location in dominant right coronary artery (RCA) ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Background: In RCA STEMI, proximal culprit lesions have been shown to have higher rates of acute complications such as bradycardia and cardiogenic shock (CS) but data on mortality is limited. Methods: We retrospectively identified and analyzed data from consecutive patients with a dominant RCA STEMI who underwent either primary or rescue percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between January 2003 and December 2016. We compared the rates of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT), CS, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), temporary cardiac pacing (TCP) and death between culprit lesions located proximal and distal to the origin of the last right ventricular (RV) marginal artery >1 mm in diameter. Results: The 939 patients were included; 599 (63.7%) had a proximal lesion and 340 (36.3%) had a nonproximal lesion. The 801 (85.3%) underwent primary PCI and 138 (14.7%) underwent rescue PCI. There was no difference in first medical contact to balloon or fibrinolysis times between the groups; p =.98 and.71. There was no significant difference in the rate of sustained VT (3.0%vs. 3.2%, p =.85) but proximal lesions were more likely to develop CS (10.9%vs. 5.8%, p =.01), require IABP (7.3%vs.2.9%, p <.01) and TCP (6.3%vs. 2.6%, p =.01). Thirty-day mortality was higher for proximal lesions (5.0%vs. 0.9%, p <.01) particularly for those with CS (35.3%vs. 10.0%, p =.05). Conclusion: Culprit lesions located proximal to the origin of the last RV marginal artery had a higher rate of acute complications such as CS and mortality
