«Martin fights in July, and he strikes St. Vaast with the font.»

The manuscript Oxford, Bodleian, MS Rawlinson Liturgical E 40 is a prayer book made in three parts: a calendar with a Cisiojanus in French; an alphabet and some basic texts given to children in Latin; and finally Latin prayers with indulgences. The manuscript has been described in two catalogues which date it to the fourteenth century and the sixteenth, respectively. Here we re-evaluate the manuscript’s contents and structure and analyze the Cisiojanus (providing an annotated edition of this unusual and largely unknown poem),  in order to re-date the manuscript and suggest a context for its genesis. We propose that the manuscript was made at the end of the fifteenth century in a retardataire style for a French noble child as an “instant heirloom”. It was constructed in stages to help the child learn to read.Le manuscrit Rawlinson Liturgical E 40 de la Bodleian Library d’Oxford nous offre un livre de prières en trois parties: un calendrier avec un Cisiojanus en français; un alphabet et quelques textes élémentaires en latin pour enfants ; ensuite des prières latines avec indulgences.

Patients’ evaluation of aftercare following hospitalization for COVID-19:satisfaction and unmet needs

Background: Patient experiences with COVID-19 aftercare remain largely unknown. We evaluated COVID-19 aftercare from a patient perspective one year after hospitalization, assessing satisfaction and its associated factors, and unmet needs. Methods: The Satisfaction with COVID-19 Aftercare Questionnaire (SCAQ) was developed as part of a multicenter prospective cohort study and administered one year after hospital discharge. The SCAQ assesses (1) patient satisfaction, comprising information provision, rehabilitation, follow-up by hospitals and general practitioners (GPs), the most important aftercare topics, and overall satisfaction, and (2) unmet needs. Results: 487/561 (87%) COVID-19 patients completed the SCAQ, all had been discharged from the hospital between March 2020 and May 2021. Among responders, the median age of patients was 60 (IQR 54–67) years, 338 (69%) were male, and the median length of stay in the hospital was 13 (6–27) days. Patients were least satisfied with information on who could be contacted with questions when health problems arise (59% satisfied or very satisfied). Many patients (75%) received rehabilitation, most frequently community-based (70%). Across the different community-based therapies, ≥ 60% of patients were satisfied with shared-decision making and ≥ 70% with the received therapy; a majority (≥ 79%) indicated a preference for receiving the same therapy again if needed. Regarding follow-up by hospitals, 86% of patients received this follow-up, most frequently visiting a pulmonologist (96%), being generally satisfied with the received aftercare. Aftercare from GPs was received by 39% of patients, with 88% being satisfied with the GP’s availability and 79% with referral to appropriate aftercare providers. Patients (&gt; 50%) considered information-related items most important in aftercare. Overall, patients rated their satisfaction with aftercare 8/10 (7–9) points. Those who received medical rehabilitation (versus no rehabilitation, adjusted beta 0.61 [95%CI 0.11 to 1.11], p = 0.02) or aftercare by a hospital medical specialist (1.1 [0.46 to 1.64], p &lt; 0.001) or GP (0.39 [0.053 to 0.72], p = 0.023) reported significantly higher satisfaction than those without such aftercare. Unmet needs were reported by 35% of patients, with lack of information (20%) and lack of additional aftercare and/or involvement of their GP (19%) being the most frequently reported. Conclusion: Despite the forced quick development of COVID-19 aftercare, patients were generally satisfied. Follow-up by healthcare professionals and information provision is important to meet patients’ aftercare needs.</p

Improving the DGNSS performance of Eurofix Using WLS algorithms, focusing on Temporal decorrelation effects

Eurofix is an integrated navigation system, which combines Differential GNSS and Loran-C. The Loran-C system is used to transmit messages which contain differential corrections for GNSS by additional modulation of the transmitted signals. It has been shown that reliable data transmission using Loran-C stations up to 1000 km distance is feasible. The differential corrections are generated by a DGNSS reference station located at the Loran-C transmitter site, providing DGNSS service to all users within the datalink range. Unfortunately, different time varying conditions at the DGNSS reference station and GNSS user position, introduce positioning errors. This paper mainly focuses on the temporal aspects of the errors. In the current implementation of Eurofix the calculation ofposition is solved by means of an ordinary least squares algorithm using at least 5 measured satellite range measurements. When using Weighted Least Squares (WLS), extra available information about the error-sources of GNSS and DGNSS can be taken into account. This way higher positioning accuracies can be obtained. The weight factors of WLS are related to the measurements-error-properties caused by the earth 's atmosphere and the data latency of the Eurofix communication link. Another option for positioning could be to use a Kalman filter. However it will be shown that the conditions for this filter are currently not met by the Eurofix measurements. Finally the theory is put into practice and some interesting real-life test results are presented, showing that the already high accuracy can still be improved.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer ScienceTelecommunicatie- en Verkeersbegeleidingssysteme
