Transverse Sacral Fracture-Dislocation with Anterior Displacement: A Case Report

Transverse sacral fracture is a very rare injury and frequently missed or delayed in diagnosis. We present a case with this injury and discuss its management

Politician's Strategic Impression Management on Instagram

With the growing trend of Instagram usage among politicians, this study investigates the effects of two self-presentation styles of personalization (i.e. presenting the private over the public life of a politician) and interactivity (i.e. presenting the active versus passive voice of a politician) on voters’ perception of politicians and their voting intention in the context of Instagram. The results of an experiment (n = 120) showed that presenting the public life of a politician had a more positive effect on perception of character, compared to the private life. Using a highly interactive style on Instagram had a more positive effect on perception of character, compared to a lack of interactivity. Finally, character perception was found to be a mediator for the effects of personalization and interactivity on voting intention. Theoretical implications with respect to impression management on social media, as well as practical implications for political engagement, are discussed

Reducing patient waiting time in a specialist outpatient clinic by altering patient arrivals

As the elderly population in Singapore continues to increase over the years, the demand for quality healthcare is expected rise which sees a continual mis-match in supply and demand for healthcare services. As such, the problem of long patient waiting time continued to plague healthcare sector, especially in the public sector. A review on the researches conducted in the past showed that most of the approaches towards alleviating the problem of long patient waiting time centered mainly on supply side. The author sees equivalent opportunities in reducing patient waiting time on the demand side and hence proposed to investigate how a demand side approach such as altering patient arrival can impact patient waiting time.Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering

A wideband low-profile antenna

This final year project details the design of a wideband low-profile antenna that operates in 200MHz to 600MHz for use on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) for radar applications. The proposed antenna is an H-plane sectoral design, with a single ridge and ceramic tapering. This design is to be mounted on a ground plane, forming an electrical mirror image of a double ridge antenna through image theory. This report covers the entire process, including the design procedure, software design and simulation, and the steps taken to optimize the results. Before the design process is covered, some basic information of the fundamental concepts regarding antenna will be covered to allow readers to have a better understanding. Several journal papers were studied, which provided a greater understanding of various design parameters. The proposed design will be carried out in the Ansoft High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS v2018). In which various tools available allowed for the quick modifications of designs and simulations. The S-Parameter and the design's radiation pattern at various frequencies were recorded and analyzed through the software. The results obtained showed good return loss and gain comparable to existing commercial antennas operating in a low-frequency range.Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering
