Interdisciplinary systematic review: does alignment between system and design shape adoption and use of barcode medication administration technology?

BACKGROUND: In order to reduce safety risks associated with medication administrations, technologies such as barcode medication administration (BCMA) are increasingly used. Examining how human factors influence adoption and usability of this technology can potentially highlight areas for improvement in design and implementation. OBJECTIVE: To describe how human factors related determinants for BCMA have been researched and reported by healthcare and human-computer interaction disciplines. DATA SOURCES: The Cumulative Index of Nursing, and Allied Health Literature, PubMed, OVID MEDLINE and Google Scholar. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Primary research published from April 2000 to April 2020, search terms developed to identity different disciplinary research perspectives that examined BCMA use, used a human factors lens and were published in English. SYNTHESIS METHODS: Computerised systematic searches were conducted in four databases. Eligible papers were systematically analysed for themes. Themes were discussed with a second reviewer and supervisors to ensure they were representative of content. RESULTS: Of 3707 papers screened, 11 were included. Studies did not fit neatly into a clinical or human-computer interaction perspective but instead uncovered a range of overlapping narratives, demonstrating consensus on the key themes despite differing research approaches. Prevalent themes were misaligned design and workflow, adaptation and workarounds, mediating factors, safety, users' perceptions and design and usability. Inadequate design frequently led to workarounds, which jeopardised safety. Reported mediating factors included clarity of user needs, pre/post implementation evaluations, analysis of existing workarounds and appropriate technology, infrastructure and staffing. LIMITATIONS: Most studies were relatively small and qualitative, making it difficult to generalise findings. CONCLUSION: Evaluating interdisciplinary perspectives including human factors approaches identified similar and complementary enablers and barriers to successful technology use. Often, mediating factors were developed to compensate for unsuitable design; a collaborative approach between system designer and end users is necessary for BCMA to achieve its true safety potential

Assessment of the accuracy of 3D printed teeth by various 3D printers in forensic odontology

Additive manufacturing technology has benefited many sectors, and its use in forensic sciences has opened up a variety of new opportunities for analysing and exhibiting forensic materials. However, to perform analytical procedures on 3D printed bones and teeth in forensic odontology, the metric and morphological precision of the printed replicas must first be validated. To address this, the present study was undertaken using 12 extracted human teeth that were 3D printed using five different techniques. Manual measurements and a digital mesh comparison were used to evaluate the metric precision of all samples. The findings showed that the printed replicas were accurate to within 0.5 mm of the actual teeth. It was suggested that Digital Light Processing (DLP) prints be used for potential forensic odontology applications based on measurements, digital comparison, and ease of use

Big Data Gears:The Data Accelator For Large Data In Mobile Networks

BigData management is merely concerned with the large-scale data, generated from the cloud, mobile computing, media accessing and many more. Based on the research survey, such as BigCache, which emphasizes on efficiently serve the data to the end-user by provisioning the large cached data at local site, thereby to benefit effective bandwidth utilization, low server load and rapid data access at low cost. To extend this work, we would like to incorporate the notion of data gears in BigData management, to accelerate the large data access in mobile networks, which consist of the small size portable devices with mobility and low resources. These lead to the many challenges such as small cache, bandwidth management, power consumption, data sharing, secured access and so no. We mainly focus on the data access and bandwidth level in BigData through providing 'Gear Architecture' for the flexibility, portability and interchangeability of the various components in BigData over mobile networks. We will target to improve the utilization through proposing data access techniques in extended ranges using BigData analytic as a Gear

Jednadžbe stanja, energije vezanja, volumni moduli i Gruneisenove konstante 3d, 4d i 5d prijelaznih metala

A model pseudopotential, depending on an effective core radius but otherwise parameter-free, is proposed to study the equation of state by incorporating the s-d hybridization effects. A new criterion for the selection of the exchange and correlation effects is also put forward. The equations of state for Cu, Ta, Mo, W and Pt have been studied up to the pressure of 1000 GPa. The binding energy, pressure, bulk modulus and frequency-independent Grüneisen constant as functions of volume for transition metals are calculated. The theoretical results are compared with available experimental results. The successful application to 27 metals has confirmed our formalism.Uvodimo model potencijala koji ovisi o polumjeru efektivne sredice a ne o drugim parametrima radi proučavanja jednadžbe stanja s uključenim s-d efektima hibridizacije. Postavljamo također nov kriterij za odabir efekata izmjena i korelacija. Proučavamo jednadžbu stanja Cu, Ta, Mo, W i Pt za tlakove do 1000 GPa. Izračunavamo energije vezanja, tlak, volumne module i frekventno-neovisne Gruneisenove konstante. Ishodi računa uspoređuju se s eksperimentalnima za sve poznate podatke. Uspješna primjena našeg formalizma za 27 metala ga potvrđuje

Proučavanje strukturnih svojstava nekih jednostavnih tekućih metala u različitim referentbim sustavima

In the present paper three reference systems: Percus-Yevick hard sphere (PYHS), one component plasma (OCP) and charged hard sphere (CHS) are employed to investigate the temperature-dependent structural properties of some simple liquid metals. The structure factor S(q), pair-distribution function g (r) and interatomic distance r1 of nearest neighbour atoms for Mg, Zn, Al, In, Tl and Pb are reported. Our own model potential is employed along with the local field correction due to Sarkar et al. (SS) to describe electron-ion interaction. It is seen that the CHS method alongwith the present form of model potential can explain more accurately the structural behaviour than PYHS and OCP methods.Za istraživanje temperaturno-ovisnih svojstava strukture nekih jednostavnih tekućih metala, primijenili smo tri referentna sustava: Percus–Yevickov tvrde kugle, jednokomponentne plazme i nabijenih kuglica. Izvješćujemo o strukturnom faktoru S(q), funkciji raspodjele parova g(r) i o međuatomskim razmacima r1 najbližih atoma u Mg, Zn, Al, In, Tl i Pb. Rabimo naš vlastiti modelski potencijal i popravku lokalnog polja prema Sarkaru i sur. za opis međudjelovanja elektron-ion. Nalazimo da metoda nabijene tvrde kuglice s primijenjenim modelskim potencijalom točnije opisuje strukturna svojstva nego druge dvije metode

Evaluation of quality assurance instruments in higher education institutions: A case of Oman

The use of a variety of instruments for quality assurance, management, and enhancement in higher education is well recognized. This article investigated the instruClose Panelments used by Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Oman to measure, control, and manage the quality of their services in alignment with the standards set by Oman Academic Accreditation Authority (OAAA). Quality Assurance Managers (QAMs) from five HEIs were interviewed to identify the instruments used by them to fulfil the requirements of each standard and the way they make use of the data gathered by using these instruments. Findings from the study reveal that questionnaires and meetings are the most common instruments used by these institutions to measure, control and assure the efficacy of their current quality activities. In addition, HEIs use summary statistics to analyse data and then present them in meetings or through reports. On the other hand, it was found that substantial efforts are made to collect data but the efficient usage of data is missing. The QAMs reported a lack of awareness among the staff on the importance of collecting data since the staff members believe that these data are collected for documentation purposes only. This study emphasizes the importance of using the data gathered from different instruments in decision making and enhancing the quality of HEIs
