Implementing an evidence-based fetal monitoring practice using a transformational leadership model

Implementing evidence-based practice requires professional clinical competence, institutional support, leadership skills, and a value for patient preferences. Leadership has been identified as a crucial component for implementing evidence-based practice. In this project, a transformational leadership model is utilized to implement evidence-based fetal monitoring in a rural community hospital through the work of a multidisciplinary team who set out to change practice and improve patient care for laboring women

ANALISIS KETERAMPILAN PROSES SAINS TENTANG GERAK HARMONIS PESERTA DIDIK KELAS X SMA

AbstractThis study aims to analyze the science process skills about the harmonic motion of the tenth graders of SMA N 1 Anjongan. The form of research used is survey research..The sampling technique in this study was census/total sampling. The sample in this study were all students of class X IPA totaling 70 people. The test used in the form of a science process skills test in the form of multiple choice as many as 16 questions that have met the aspects of science process skills. This test is given to measure students scientific process skills in solving problems about harmonic motion. The results of the research analysis showed that the average percentage of students' science process skills was 59.11% in the less category. The percentage aspects of science process skills include: observation of 73.57%, classification of 64.29%, interpretation of 60.71%, prediction of 63.57%, communication of 58.57%, planning experiments of 50.00 %, applying the concept of 46.43%, and 51.43% hypothesized. Based on the Mann-Whitney test, the sig value is obtained. (2-tailed) 0.568 <0.05, which means that there is no difference in students' science process skills between boys and girls.Keywords: Analysis, Science Process Skills, Harmonic Motio

European airspace measures towards a more sustainable ATM

The following work will be aiming to investigate the level of how the airspace is being operated under the current conditions and propose the most appealing way to be implemented in order to meet the requirements of capacity increase. Air Traffic Management operates a set of services aiming primary at ensuring safety of flights. The services in Europe are provided by various ATM systems, including controllers, control centers and airports, managing approximately of 30000 daily flights and providing aircraft separations, collision preventing and providing information. The assuring predictions made for the year 2030, is estimated for Air Traffic to double. If nothing will be done we are to be expected, flight cancellations, missed connections and negative impact on safety. Traffic growth cannot be sustained with the current divided air navigation services organization and some ageing ATM technologies. It must be recognized that the air transport must be grown in a sustainable manner, where the future of European ATM system will cope with expected growth in air Traffic. There is a need for one simplified European framework to cope safely with the increased demand. Hence a new Air Traffic Management System is required for the benefit of the European Sky. The possible solutions for the traffic management is provided by SESAR, the goal of which is to enable EU skies to handle 3 times more traffic, improving safety of flights and decreasing of ATM cost and cost per flight. The creating of change of change in European ATM will demonstrate the ability to deliver benefits to the Air Transport community. A performance-based approach will be used for the development of the future ATM system, with common objective: to handle up to three times more traffic than today and decrease in ATM cost per flight. (by 2020) The area navigation and navigation performance specifications have to be globally harmonized for a set of Performance Based Navigation, which defines the performance requirements for aircraft navigation within the Air Traffic Service route. By simulating the possible outcome for the future planning, we will look into how or which of the ways is more attractive to be applied in order to meet the requirements of increasing capacity, in the airspace field. For this we will use Nest desktop application, used by the EUROCONTROL, for airspace structure design and development, preparing scenario for fast and real time simulation. Nest is a scenario-based tool, where we can make changes to the original dataset scenario to model an unlimited number of different operation planning options, also to generate future traffic samples using traffic growth forecasts provided by STATFOR (Statistics and Forecasts). Data will be taken from the Demand Data Repository project, objective of which is to provide airspace users with the a potential accurate outcome of the past and future European air traffic demand, to meet their planning and monitoring needs

Lessons Learned Conducting Breastfeeding Intervention Research in Two Northern Plains Tribal Communities

AIM: The overall purpose of this article was to describe the challenges and benefits of conducting breastfeeding intervention research with two Native American Tribal communities. METHODS: A focus group with an interpretive approach was used to collect data within this qualitative study as a means of incorporating a complex, holistic, subjective interpretation of the case managers\u27 perceptions and experiences. In addition, researchers\u27 field notes were used. Findings are discussed in relation to Rogers\u27 Diffusion of Innovation Framework. RESULTS: Themes that emerged during the focus group discussions were related to innovation, relative advantage, complexity, compatibility, trialability, and observability. CONCLUSIONS: Conducting research in Native American Tribal communities was both enriching and challenging. The research protocol needs to be culturally appropriate, and complex components need to be videotaped for review on an ongoing basis. Time constraints of case managers need to be examined prior to development of the research protocol

Flame-Retardant and Tensile Properties of Polyamide 12 Processed by Selective Laser Sintering

This research was funded by the European Regional Development Fund within Measure 1.1.1.1 “Industry-Driven Research” of the Specific aid objective 1.1.1 “To increase the research and innovation capacity of scientific institutions of Latvia and their ability to attract external funding by investing in human resources and infrastructure” of the Operational Program “Growth and Employment” (Project No. 1.1.1.1/19/A/143). A.S. and A.Z. are grateful to funding received from the European Union Horizon 2020 Framework programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under grant agreement No. 739508, project CAMART2.Composite materials are becoming widely applied in fire-critical conditions such as, e.g., aviation interior parts. Environmental considerations motivate the use of additive manufacturing due to the decrease of polymer wastes, and therefore additional fuel sources. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of printing direction on flame retardancy and the tensile properties of 3D-printed test samples of polyamide 12 manufactured by selective laser sintering. The effects of printing parameters on the flammability of 3D-printed samples were investigated using vertical burn tests with varied specimen thicknesses and printing directions. It was found that these effects were substantial for the flammability at a low thickness of the test samples. No significant effects of printing direction were revealed for the tensile characteristics of polyamide 12. © 2022 by the authors.
