Abstract:
The intervention attempts to engage critically with the Smittestopp app as a specifically Norwegian technofix. Culturally and politically, much of the Covid-19 response and the success of social distancing rules have been organized around the widespread trust in the government and public health authorities, and a focus on the citizens’ duty to contribute to the dugnaðr. The intervention argues that Smittestopp has been co-created by the mobilization of trust and dugnaðr, resulting in the launch of an incomplete and poorly defined data-hoarding product with significant vulnerabilities.

Abstract:
93 Background: In 2019, the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC) developed an immuno-oncology (IO) wallet card to address the continuous need for immune-related adverse event education and resources, particularly for IO patients and the non-oncology providers from whom they receive care. The wallet card was distributed to ACCC’s membership of cancer programs via mailings and online, which included a short survey for users to complete at time of download. Methods: To better understand the demographics and motivations of individuals who access the IO wallet card, an exploratory analysis was performed on data collected through the download survey. Data included the survey responses from all downloads between March and September 2019 (n = 141), which was then cleaned to remove duplicates, incomplete responses, and responses from ACCC staff, international users, pharmaceutical representatives, consultants, and patients. Analysis was then performed on the resulting data set of downloads from US-based health care providers (n = 86). Results: Cancer program administrators and nurses accounted for the majority of downloads (30% and 20%, respectively), as well as individuals from comprehensive community cancer programs (44%) and NCI-designated comprehensive cancer programs (16%). Fewer downloads came from other oncology disciplines (2-9%) and small practices (2-6%). Survey responses indicated that the majority of downloads were due to the cancer program not already having the resource (47%), or for comparison with a wallet card developed by the cancer program (15%) or another organization (10%). Patient education materials provided by these institutions included wallet cards (45%), as well as print materials developed by the cancer program (16%), another professional organization (7%), or distributed by drug companies (5%). Conclusions: These finding shed light on the primary audiences accessing the IO wallet card, how this resource may complement other IO patient education materials, and areas where additional education may be needed. Specifically, IO wallet card dissemination or related education may need to be tailored to better reach specific oncology disciplines as well as those practicing in smaller clinics.

Abstract:
Background: Diabetes care is predominately done at home by the patient. When clinics do not have a reliable, easy process for obtaining this patient data, clinical decisions must be made with incomplete verbal recall reports. Unused or inaccessible glucose data represent a large information gap affecting clinical decision making. This study’s purpose was to design an optimized glucose device download system with a standardized report and to evaluate its efficiency. Methods: Observations and evaluations of glucose data retrieval occurred at two clinics; an additional clinic utilized the optimized process doing only post process timings. Patients/families and clinicians were surveyed about their experiences with the system and the standardized report (AGP). The study was approved by all the sites’ IRBs. Results: Optimized systems saved staff at least 3 min per patient. Standardized AGP reports and an optimized data system made the work flow of glucose data easier to complete. The AGP report was preferred by patients, families, and clinicians. Conclusions: An optimized system takes advantage of patient lobby downtime to download glucose devices and ensures that diabetes clinical decisions are made utilizing all available data. Staff and patients liked the software lobby system and found it a valuable time-saving tool.

Abstract:
AbstractMany applications related to ground-motion studies and engineering seismology benefit from the opportunity to easily download large dataset of earthquake recordings with different magnitudes. In such applications, it is important to have a reliable seismic characterization of the stations to introduce appropriate correction factors for including site amplification. Generally, seismic networks in Europe describe the site properties of a station through geophysical or geological reports, but often ad-hoc field surveys are missing and the characterization is done using indirect proxy. It is then necessary to evaluate the quality of a seismic characterization, accounting for the available site information, the measurements procedure and the reliability of the applied methods to obtain the site parameters.In this paper, we propose a strategy to evaluate the quality of site characterization, to be included in the station metadata. The idea is that a station with a good site characterization should have a larger ranking with respect to one with poor or incomplete information. The proposed quality metric includes the computation of three indices, which take into account the reliability of the available site indicators, their number and importance, together with their consistency defined through scatter plots for each single pair of indicators. For this purpose, we consider the seven indicators identified as most relevant in a companion paper (Cultrera et al. 2021): fundamental resonance frequency, shear-wave velocity profile, time-averaged shear-wave velocity over the first 30 m, depth of both seismological and engineering bedrock, surface geology and soil class.

Abstract:
204 Background: PDS enables patient-level analyses of control arms of cancer trials. The interface (www.projectdatasphere.org) allows for both web-based and download-based analyses. We aimed to validate established prostate cancer prognostic models and explore the effect of concomitant medications on survival in mCRPC. Methods: Data was obtained for 2,747 control subjects with mCRPC from 7 Phase III clinical trials with 1962 subjects available for OS analyses from 5 studies. Overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier Method. Cox-proportional hazards models, stratified by trial, were used to estimate hazard ratios. Results: Metastatic site was significant for overall survival (Median: Node only 23.69m, Bone 18.17m, Lung 14.72m, Liver 9.43m; p < 0.001). Of the 23 types of medication examined, after adjusting for metastatic site, patients taking proton pump inhibitors (HR: 1.155, p=0.017) and Erythropoietin (HR: 1.49, p-value<.001) had worse overall survival whilst patients taking fish oil (HR:0.68, p-value=0.033) and non-lipophilic statins (HR:0.69, p=.00277) had improved overall survival. Within the limits of available data, we validated the prognostic models for overall survival proposed by Templeton et al. and Sonpavde et al individually and after inclusion of concomitant medication where patients taking metformin (HR=0.729, p=.0082) and Cox 2 inhibitors (HR=0.708, p=.015) had improved OS whilst those taking low molecular weight heparin (HR=1.352, p=.004) had worse OS. Conclusions: As a first project utilizing open-source PDS data in prostate cancer, we validated two prostate cancer prognostic models and illuminated the ability to undertake novel analyses such as the association of concomitant medications with outcome. Limitations of the data relate to incomplete and inconsistent data entry. Future expansion of patient trials and numbers will help to facilitate future analyses.

Abstract:
ABSTRAKPetugas TPS atau petugas pengangkut sampah merupakan pekerja yang setiap harinya mengambil atau mengangkut sampah dari rumah ke rumah untuk dikumpulkan kemudian di pilah-pilah di TPS dan akan dikirimkan ke tempat pembuangan yang lebih besar yaitu Tempat Pembuangan Akhir (TPA). Sepanjang hari petugas TPS bekerja dengan sampah sehingga membuat mereka mempunyai risiko tinggi terkena penularan penyakit kulit, baik yang memiliki efek secara langsung maupun tidak langsung. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk mengurangi resiko terkena penularan penyakit kulit adalah dengan menggunakan Alat Pelindung Diri (APD) Kurangnya kesadaran, kepatuhan dan informasi tentang risiko bahaya, sebagian dari mereka tidak tidak menggunakan APD. APD yang kurang lengkap dapat memungkinkan kontak langsung dengan sampah sehingga mengakibatkan terjadinya gangguan kesehatan salah satunya yaitu menyebabkan penularan penyakit kulit. Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik korelasi dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Data diuji dengan Spearman rank test. Pengumpulan data dengan cara observasi, wawancara dan kuesioner. Peneliti menggunakan metode total sampling. Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan p=0.00 (α<0.05) dan r=0.761, sehingga terdapat hubungan yang kuat antara perilaku pemakaian APD dengan penularan penyakit kulit pada petugas TPS. Oleh sebab itu, diharapkan program pemerintah dan petugas kesehatan dapat mendukung penggunaan APD sebagai upaya preventif terhadap penularan penyakit kulit pada petugas TPS.Kata kunci : sampah, petugas TPS, alat pelindung diri (APD), penularan penyakit kulitABSTRACTA garbage worker who take or hauling garbage from house to house and collected and then sorted into the TPS every day and will be sent to landfills larger is the final disposal (landfill). Throughout the day poll workers working with litter so as to make them have a higher risk of skin disease transmission, both of which have the effect of directly or indirectly. One effort that can be done to reduce the risk of skin disease transmission is to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Lack of awareness, compliance and information about the risk of harm, some of them not using PPE. APD incomplete can allow direct contact with garbage, which causes health problems one of which causes the skin disease transmission. This type of research is an analytic correlation with cross-sectional approach. Data were tested with Spearman rank test. The collection of data by means of observation, interviews and questionnaires. Researchers used total sampling method. Statistical analysis showed p = 0.00 (α <0,05) and r = 0.761, so there is a strong relationship between the behavior of the use of PPE with the skin disease transmission at the polling station officials. Therefore, it is expected the government programs and health workers can support the use of PPE as a preventative measure against the spread of skin disease at polling station officials.Keywords: garbage, garbage workers, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), skin disease transmission.

Hoje com o avanço na agroindústria, o uso de silos é indispensável para que se mantenha a qualidade de produtos como grãos, sementes e demais insumos agrícolas. Em silos existem, basicamente, dois tipos de fluxo, o fluxo de massa e o fluxo de funil, onde o fluxo de massa é caracterizado pelo movimento de todas as partículas do produto, enquanto que no fluxo de funil existem três camadas, onde a primeira camada está se movimentando, a segunda camada fica a espera para que possa entrar em movimento e a terceira permanece estagnada durante todo o processo. Objetivou-se com esta pesquisa documentar e avaliar através de imagens de alta resolução o padrão de fluxo e suas variantes em silos industriais através de modelo reduzido de seção semicircular e mensurar sua vazão de descarga para quatro produtos armazenáveis. Para a análise das propriedades de fluxo utilizou-se a recomendação da British Material Handling Board enquanto que os resultados de vazão experimental foram comparados aos teóricos obtidos pelas equações de Beverloo et al. e Rotter. Observou-se que quando utilizado o fundo plano com grãos, ocorria o fluxo de massa até determinada relação H/D passando, depois, para fluxo de funil. Para farelo de soja o fluxo o fluxo variou de acordo com a geometria do silo (fundo plano ou tremonha) entre massa e funil, enquanto para milho triturado o tipo de fluxo observado foi o de funil independentemente da utilização de fundo plano ou tremonha. Quanto aos valores de vazão de descarga, nenhuma das teorias testadas conseguiu reproduzir com exatidão os resultados experimentais indicando necessidade de adequação para cada situação em particular.
Today with the advancement in the agricultural industry, the use of silos is essential in order to maintain the quality of products such as grains, seeds and other agricultural inputs. Silo are basically two flow patterns, the mass flow and funnel flow, where the mass flow is characterized by the movement of ali particles in the product, while the funnel flow, there are three one, where the first layer is moving the second one is waiting for it to come in motion and the third remains flat during the process. The objective of this research were to document and assess through high resolution images of the flow pattern and its variants in silos through industrial scale model of semicircular cross section and measure its flow discharge for four bulk solids. For the analysis of the flow was used British Material Handling Board recommendations while the flow experimental results were obtained compared to the theoretical equations of Beverloo et al. and Rotter. It was observed that when using a flat bottom, there was the mass flow determined by H/D ratio passing then to flow funnel. For soybean flow varied depending on the geometry of the silo (flat bottom or hopper) between mass and dropping funnel, while for ground corn, the type of flow was observed regardless of the funnel using a flat or hopper. For the values of flow discharge, none of the theories tested was able to reproduce accurately the experimental results indicating a need to adapt them to each particular situation.

Abstract:
In this book, “ethics” is a general term for concerns about what people should do. The term “ethics” comes from the Greek word ethike, which means “character.” Indeed, the ancient Greeks conceived issues about what people should do in terms of impact upon character—whether people were of good or bad character (Aristotle, 350 BCE). Our concern with good reputation reveals this kind of thinking, but bad actions and bad performance can be more important than any amount of good reputation if they are bad enough. Not even the most capable network troubleshooter could survive the discovery of large amounts of downloaded kiddie porn on his workstation. William Bennett’s A Book of Virtues (Bennett, 1993) is a more recent example of a character-based ethics very similar to Greek ethics. The central term of Greek ethics, ethike arête, is usually translated as “virtue”—the literal meaning is “excellence of character.” “Good character traits” is probably the nearest translation. Bennett’s list of virtues or good character traits includes: self-discipline, compassion, responsibility, friendship, work, courage, perseverance, honesty, loyalty, and faith. His selection of virtues overlaps with the classic Greek virtues or good character traits. Plato’s list was: courage, temperance, wisdom, and justice. (Plato, 360 BCE). Aristotle added liberality, pride, good temper, friendliness, truthfulness, and ready wit. Although all of these—Plato’s, Aristotle’s, and Bennett’s—are good character traits to have, having them doesn’t answer many important questions about what actions to do, especially when virtues conflict. Is perseverance in constructing a computer virus a good thing? Clearly the rightness or wrongness of the action in which we are persevering is very important. Or what about loyalty to an organization ripping off poor people? Here honesty (and compassion) may be more important than loyalty and responsibility. Indeed, Bennett’s list omits justice, considered the most important virtue by Plato. Since justice is primarily a virtue of institutions rather than individuals, Bennett’s list leaves out issues about how well society is arranged. We have made some progress on these issues since Greek times.1 The point is that character-based ethics is incomplete. Bennett himself, in replying to critics of his compulsive gambling behavior, seems to believe that as long as an individual has the “virtues,” that is, the good character traits, then other actions are irrelevant. Most of the rest of us in these non-classic-Greek times believe otherwise. Nowadays, “ethics” is an inclusive term for concerns also referred to as “morality,” “value,” and “justice.” Besides character, ethics in this inclusive sense is also concerned with the rightness and wrongness of actions, the value or goodness of things and situations, and with the justness of institutions. The basic terms of ethics are: right, good, and just.
