All roads lead to Rome: channelling inter-campus, interlibrary and off-campus requests through a single user interface

The message from remote library clients is clear and unequivocal - they want material quickly and easily. They would prefer not to have to differentiate between the three library services of intercampus, interlibrary, or off-campus requests - they just want a particular document or book forwarded to them as soon as possible. At the University of Southern Queensland Library, VDX software has been utilised to provide a single search and request interface for library material. Differentiating between individual clients,it displays and activates only those services for which a particular client is eligible. Remote undergraduates for example, have the ability to search and request from USQ catalogue only, while those students eligible for interlibrary loans can search and initiate requests across a range of catalogues. Whilst simplifying processes for clients, the challenge to Library staff has been to successfully manipulate the software and work processes to handle this complex arrangement. This paper will discuss the introduction of this new initiative focusing on the following issues: - Background - Client view - Dual services and associated challenges - Impact on staff - Improvements planned in the next six months - Marketing - Conclusio

Is child weight status correctly reported to parents? Cross-sectional analysis of National Child Measurement Programme data using ethnic-specific BMI adjustments.

BACKGROUND: BMI underestimates and overestimates body fat in children from South Asian and Black ethnic groups, respectively. METHODS: We used cross-sectional NCMP data (2015-17) for 38 270 children in three inner-London local authorities: City & Hackney, Newham and Tower Hamlets (41% South Asian, 18.8% Black): 20 439 4-5 year-olds (48.9% girls) and 17 831 10-11 year-olds (49.1% girls). We estimated the proportion of parents who would have received different information about their child's weight status, and the area-level prevalence of obesity-defined as ≥98th centile-had ethnic-specific BMI adjustments been employed in the English National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP). RESULTS: Had ethnic-specific adjustment been employed, 19.7% (3112/15 830) of parents of children from South Asian backgrounds would have been informed that their child was in a heavier weight category, and 19.1% (1381/7217) of parents of children from Black backgrounds would have been informed that their child was in a lighter weight category. Ethnic-specific adjustment increased obesity prevalence from 7.9% (95% CI: 7.6, 8.3) to 9.1% (8.7, 9.5) amongst 4-5 year-olds and from 17.5% (16.9, 18.1) to 18.8% (18.2, 19.4) amongst 10-11 year-olds. CONCLUSIONS: Ethnic-specific adjustment in the NCMP would ensure equitable categorization of weight status, provide correct information to parents and support local service provision for families

A Comparative Unit Cost Analysis of Echocardiography Service between Activity-Based Costing, Ina-Cbgs, and Hospital Charge at Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Hospital

Background: All countries allocate a portion of resources to the health sector. Under the National Health Insurance (NHI, JKN), tariffs of hospital care service are pre determined by the Indonesian Case Base Groups (INA-CBGs) payment scheme. Anecdotal evidence reported that there often occurred some discrepancy between hospital charge and INA-CBGs tariff for a specified hospital care service. This gap may cause either loss or excess profit to the hospital. This study aimed to estimate and compare the unit costs of providing echocardiography service using Activity Based Costing (ABC) method, hospital charge, and INA-CBGs tariff, respectively, at Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Hospital. Subjects and Method: This was a cost analysis conducted at Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta Hospital, Yogyakarta. A sample of patients aged ≥45 years who used echocardiography was selected for this study. The dependent variable was unit cost of echocardiography. The independent variable was costing method (ABC, hospital charge, and INA-CBGs tariff). The data were obtained from the financial management of the hospital. Results: The estimated unit costs of echocardiography using ABC method, hospital charge, and INA-CBGs were Rp309.370, Rp343.000, Rp369.500, respectively. The estimated unit cost using ABC method was Rp33.630 lower than hospital charge and Rp 60.130 lower than INA-CBGs tariff. Conclusion: The unit cost using ABC method was lower than hospital charge and INA-CBGs tariff. Corrective policy action should be made to fill this gap.

Analysis of the subunit assembly of the type IC restriction-modification enzyme EcoR124I

Type I restriction-modification (R-M) enzymes are composed of three different subunits, of which HsdS determines DNA specificity, HsdM is responsible for DNA methylation and HsdR is required for restriction. The HsdM and HsdS subunits can also form an independent DNA methyltransferase with a subunit stoichiometry of M2S1. We found that the purified Eco R124I R-M enzyme was a mixture of two species as detected by the presence of two differently migrating specific DNA-protein complexes in a gel retardation assay. An analysis of protein subunits isolated from the complexes indicated that the larger species had a stoichiometry of R2M2S1and the smaller species had a stoichiometry of R1M2S1. In vitro analysis of subunit assembly revealed that while binding of the first HsdR subunit to the M2S1complex was very tight, the second HsdR subunit was bound weakly and it dissociated from the R1M2S1complex with an apparent K d of approximately 2.4 x 10(-7) M. Functional assays have shown that only the R2M2S1complex is capable of DNA cleavage, however, the R1M2S1complex retains ATPase activity. The relevance of this situation is discussed in terms of the regulation of restriction activity in vivo upon conjugative transfer of a plasmid-born R-M system into an unmodified host cell
