Abstract:
Background: Unintentional injuries in the home are an important cause of death and disability among young children globally. However, in many parts of the world, particularly in the Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) like Nepal, there is dearth of data regarding home injuries and home hazards to guide the development of effective interventions, and policies for preventing childhood home injuries. Aims: To explore the environmental risks associated with unintentional injuries amongst children aged 0-59 months in the Makwanpur district of Nepal, and to explore the potential for changes to t

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to evaluate a community pharmacy-based cardiovascular risk assessment (VRA) service introduced into two pharmacies in south Wales. A longitudinal methodology was adopted where participants had an initial assessment with a follow-up after 12 months. Body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure and total/HDL cholesterol levels were measured and the Framingham 10-year cardiovascular risk was estimated and communicated to patients. Demographic details and lifestyle information (smoking, alcohol, diet and exercise) were obtained via self-complete questionnaires at e

Abstract:
Currently, southern Louisiana faces extreme land loss that could reach an alarming rate of about one football sized swath of land every hour. The combined effect of land subsidence and predicted sea level rise threaten the culture and livelihood of the residents living in this region. As the most vulnerable coastal population in Louisiana, the communities of south Terrebonne Parish are called to adapt by accommodating, protecting, or retreating from the impacts of climate change. For effective preparation planning, the state of Louisiana needs to 1) understand the adaptation preferences and re

This phenomenological study was implemented within a rural community in the southeastern area of the United States. The purpose of the study was to examine perceptions of prior graduates in order to identify specific effects of limited technology and Internet access in public schools. No related investigation has occurred within the research setting. To achieve this purpose, the researcher acquired perceptual data from 33 adults who attended the local high school during School Years 2003-2004 through 2012-2013.

Abstract:
The U. S. criminal justice system has used risk assessment tools in an effort to reduce recidivism and risk assessment tools are now commonplace. Correctional organizations, however, have struggled with officers' resistance to these tools in spite of the evidence for their utility. There is limited research that explores the impact of resistance to organizational change within the context of correctional agencies. To address that gap, this correlational study used organizational change theory to examine officers' resistance to the use of risk assessment tools based on officers' opinions of the

Abstract:
Background: There has been a shift in recent years to caring for patients with complex needs in their homes. In order to provide this care safely, tasks involving moving and handling need to be risk assessed. Little is known about how healthcare professionals conduct manual handling risk assessments (MHRAs) in community settings. Research Questions and Objective: There are three research questions used to investigate this thesis. To inform the research, â€How is safety and risk management legislation (MHOR, MHRA) used by professionals in the identification of hazards and in the risk evaluation

Abstract:
In the realm of criminal justice, there are few aims that are more integral to their practices than the assessment and prediction of risk. Many correctional agencies utilise formal risk assessments to provide a structured guide in order to accurately assess an offender’s risk of recidivism. In doing so, it is important that the assessments chosen are psychometrically valid and reliable, as well as jurisdictionally appropriate. Therefore, it is important to validate an international risk assessment within the population it is intended to be used, particularly as there are concerns about the app

Self-alert and precautious evacuation has been found to be the effective approach for the debris flow disaster. An integrated solution is the establishment of the disaster resistant community, which has been seen the promotion by the Bureau of Soil and Water Conservation Since 2007. The goal of

Delay to antibiotic treatment of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) greater than 4 hours following hospital admission is associated with a 15% increase in mortality. Paper-based guidelines have been widely introduced to improve CAP care, but these interventions have under-performed due to poor compliance in complex clinical workflows. Unlike passive paper-based guidelines, alerting systems based on computer-based decision support systems (CDSS) have the capacity to actively draw attention to delayed clinical processes.

Despite the known benefits of physical activity and an increasing number of programs designed to increase activity, attendance rates to many exercise programs remain low.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to contextualise the Swaziland correctional services environment and inmate population, analysing how best to respond to the needs of the organisation and providing strategies that can have an impact on crime and recidivism. Offenders in Swaziland are incarcerated because alternatives to imprisonment or the resources necessary to make a visible impact on the inmate population are not provided. There is also very little scientific information available on the profiles of inmates to determine who really needs to be incarcerated, who could be incarcerated for a s
