Effective communication of critical radiology results: The implementation of panic alert mechanism

Objective: To establish an effective channel of timely communication of life-threatening emergencies to primary physicians by radiology team.Methods: The observational study was conducted at Aga Khan Hospital for Women and Children, Kharadar, Karachi. Data was collected from the log book from July 2012 to June 2013.Amultidisciplinary Panic Alert protocol was formulated and implemented in the Radiology unit. All radiological examinations were screened as soon as possible and panic alerts [provisional findings] were communicated to their primary care taker/relevant nursing staff, attendants within 30 minutes from the time of completion of examination. Complete log was maintained. Data was analysed on SPSS 13.Results: A total of 22,474 patients were seen, and 77(0.34%) had panic provisional findings. The mean time for communicating the panic reporting was 19.5±8 minutes. Implementation of the designed protocol, effective communication and proper follow-up resulted in 100% coverage of panic results.CONCLUSIONS: Life-threatening emergencies identified by radiological imaging can be managed effectively if alerts are generated in time

Perceived Acceleration in Stereoscopic Animation

In stereoscopic media, a sensation of depth is produced through the differences of images presented to the left and the right eyes. These differences are a result of binocular parallax caused by the separation of the cameras used to capture the scene. Creators of stereoscopic media face the challenge of producing compelling depth while restricting the amount of parallax to a comfortable range. Control of camera separation is a key manipulation to control parallax. Sometimes, stereoscopic warping is used in post-production process to selectively increase or decrease depth in certain regions of the image. However, mismatches between camera geometry and natural stereoscopic geometry can theoretically produce nonlinear distortions of perceived space. The relative expansion or compression of the stereoscopic space, in theory, should affect the perceived acceleration of objects moving through that space. This thesis suggests that viewers are tolerant of effects of distortions when perceiving acceleration in a stereoscopic scene

Public Policies versus Institutional Structures: A New Perspective of Assessing Economic Growth Dynamics in Developing Nations

This study is performed to find out the impact of policy and institutional factors on the economic growth of the developing countries. These include Economic management, Structural policies, Social inclusion/equity and Governance. Panel data of 72 countries is being taken for this study and the time period is from 2005-2013. Simple ordinary least square (OLS) model has been applied to find the impact of these variables on economic growth of developing countries and the results showed that overall institutions are related more to the economic growth of these nations as compared to policy contents. On the other side from institutional parameters, role of budgetary management and equity of public resource use by the government is positively contributing to economic performance of these nations. Nevertheless few variables have showed negative impact as well in which the process resource mobilization and transparency of the system is exhibiting more negative role in economic growth of these nations. Overall results showed that non-economic parameters of the political systems are more closely interrelated with the process of economic growth in these nation as compared to pure economic factors.

The Moderating Effect of IT Capability on the Relationship between BPR Factors and Performance of Pakistani Banks

Financial institutions work in a highly competitive market. There is always a pressure for improving the processes and IT up gradation, but there is a lack of research on this particular area. This paper focuses on investigating the impact of business process reengineering (BPR) on the performance of banks, while keeping the IT as moderator. BPR plays a vital role in improving the processes, thus affecting the overall performance of organization. Yet, the implementation of BPR requires a lot of risk. Thus, the success rate of BPR depends on how well it has been carried out. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaire from 50 commercial banks. The response rate was 95%. Data was analyzed through multiple regressions on SPSS. The results indicated that IT acted as a moderator between BPR factors and performance of Pakistani banks. This study has strong implications for managers & practitioners seeking to implement BPR in organizations. Keywords: Business process reengineering, IT knowledge and capacity, Performance, Pakistani banks
