Human resources (HR) planning is associated with an institution’s strategic plan, so the study of the required number of support personnel is in line with the direction of business development planning of the Laboratory Installation Unit. WISN (work load indicator staff need) method is a calculation based on the analysis of health manpower needs of the workload (work load analysis) and is considered as the most accurate method to calculate labour requirements in short-term. Based on the results of the analysis of manpower needs at the Laboratory Installation of Lung Health of the Community Hall Surakarta, it is known that there is still a lack of a number of five (5) persons of the health laboratory staff. The persons still lacking consist of: one (1) laboratory person related to clinical pathology laboratory, one (1) laboratory person for smear microscopy laboratory, and still three (3) microbiology laboratory persons. These persons are needed to be able to carry out the activities for a good laboratory service, and quality which is in accordance with the related applicable standards.

Full textAbstract:
Much of the emphasis on facility design for shipbuilding has focused on improved processes and material flow, whether in the panel lines, block assembly, unit erection, or dry-dock operations. However, the analysis performed during planning for a new structural fabrication facility at the Quonset Point site of Electric Boat Corporation indicates that excessive, non-value-added time is spent in material movement, job setup, and locating resources (crane, service material, inspection equipment, etc.). Although these problems are evident in many shipbuilding operations, they are especially problematic in submarine fabrication, where the structural components are high value added, production volumes are low, movement of in-process products is costly, and inspection requirements are stringent. In planning for the new facility for structural fabrication, Electric Boat is using a product-centric approach. The goal is to define manageable families of products and design a facility to ensure that all of the resources required by these products are readily available during their fabrication. In this paper the authors first present the methodology used to develop process models for the product families at Electric Boat. These process models provide critical input to the design team determining space, equipment, and manpower requirements for the new facility. The authors then discuss the design process for a new facility focused on the production of structural product families for submarines.

Bangladesh is one of the most governance deficit countries of the world. In this reality, Upazila system, as an intermediate tier local government unit, is reestablished under the Upazila Parishad Act 2009. This Act is the basis of the formation and function of the Upazila Parishad. In this study, survey method has been applied to primary data collection from two upazila (Sylhet Sadar Upazila and Kanaighat Upazila) in Sylhet district. The study finds that the existing upazila parishad activities do not meet the demand of the people. Citizen’s trust on the Upazila Parishad is very low. The study also finds some other challenges, including unskilled manpower, proper planning and a lack of financial resouces. Moreover, the officials are not professional and their behaviors are not good while performing their duties. Most of the service receiver did not get best service from upazila officials. However this study suggests some recommendation for improving the service of upazila parishad. Officials should be highly trained and professional on their service delivery. By ensuring the best services, they can achieve the trust of general people.And the Government should take additional steps with regards to improving the upazila parishad service.

Full textAbstract:
Background and purpose: Due to the increased complexity of the radiotherapy process in recent years, many QA procedures have been introduced to improve the quality of the treatment preparation and the treatment delivery. Most of these procedures give no direct information on the efficiency of the overall process in the radiotherapy department. It is quite evident that the frequency of errors will affect the efficiency of the process (for instance manpower to solve the detected problems), but also affect more generally the patients' experience.Material and methods: To make some objective assessment of the erroneous entries in the process of radiotherapy, a pilot study was initiated to report all problems during a period of 2 months on a dedicated QA form. By registration of these errors, the QA group could trace the main sources of the decrease in efficiency and increased waiting time for patients.Results and conclusions: For 46% of the patients during the two months at least one QA forms was filled in. With these QA forms 198 erroneous entries including 33 erroneous treatments were reported. Regarding the origin of the problems, the majority (60%) were generated in the planning process, while 56% of the errors were detected at the treatment unit before or during delivery of the first fraction. In total 461 actions were undertaken to recover all the reported errors. This generated time delay for 145 patients. Extrapolating these results to a year, a 0.7 full time equivalent person is spent to recover these errors, while the total patient population waits for about 140 hours. Corrective actions have been undertaken to optimise the overall process.

Abstract. North Eastern Region of India is a picturesque land of seven sister states of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Tripura & the state of Sikkim. The geography of the region is dominated by undulating hilly terrain comprising of Khasi & Garo Hills in Meghalaya, Mizo & Lusai Hills in Mizoram, Patkai Hills in Nagaland and Arunachal Himalayas in Arunachal Pradesh which has made the region relatively inaccessible for developmental planning and infrastructural setup. Educational progress in these states have suffered due to geographic and linguistic barrier, concentration of maximum resources in terms of infrastructure and manpower around major cities, poor economic situation etc. An innovative approach to break these barriers is to take the help of Distance Learning to reach the huge student community. NESAC, established as a unit of Department of Space in Umiam, Meghalaya has a mandate of capacity building in the region. To fulfill the mandate, NESAC, in May 2019, conducted a first-of-its-kind Online Distance Learning Training Program on Remote Sensing & GIS Applications for students and professionals of the region jointly with IIRS, Dehradun which is having rich experience of conducting Distance Learning Programs in the country. The two week long training program was attended by more than 250 participants in online interactive mode and had an ensemble of lecturers taken from IIRS, Dehradun and NESC both. While faculty of IIRS covered the basics of RS & GIS, Geo Web Services, GNSS etc; the scientists of NESAC presented on various thematic applications of RS & GIS conducted by NESAC specific to the region. At the end of theoretical lectures, online exam was also conducted and based on the online evaluation, digital certificates were distributed to the successful candidates. IIRS, Dehradun also extended their help to NESAC in IT infrastructure at all steps of the course. NESAC received large positive feedback of the course, many participants asking for longer duration courses, customized courses and even advanced courses. NESAC has planned to conduct similar course annually.

Background and Purpose Providing health care is the basic right of people(1). Diagnostic radiology is one of the main procedures in health care services and proper benefiting from this technology is brought only under well planning and management(1). Supervision of the available condition and its comparison with the recommended standards is a key role in assessing assurance from the benefit of these instruments (2). Data show that more than 80% of patients referring to these hospitals need radiology image (3).Improper service causes repetition of radiography and even wrong diagnosis, as a results threatening health of the patients (3) lack of protective barrier leads to the exposure of the staff to X-ray which is obviously carcinogen us (4). It happens that the instruments are not working properly, like of symmetry in X-ray field, defects in collimators, lack of adjusting ray field and X-ray, low quality or defective developing machine, lack of proper protective barrier, using low quality film and drugs, lack of protective barrier for children, all of which cause severe hazards for the patients and staff (4). Materials and Methods The crucial aim of medical services is to provide the public with their needs which are very important. The sensitivity of such services is to such an extent that in case of lack of care, the hazards are too high. In evaluation of health services, the first thing is to evaluate the device used. Methods, efficiency, profits and their combination for prevention and eradication of diseases are also important. Therefore to gain this goal, it is necessary the obtain results comparable with recommended standards. The purpose of this study was to access the conditions of radiology units at Mazandaran University hospitals and compare them with the standards of ICRU NCRP and ICRP. Radiology unit is the most expensive section of any hospital for its instruments, manpower and space provided. In a study conducted in 51centers on radiology staff, radiography room and protective barrier, ray leakage, the outcome were 89%, 82%, 77% and 37% respectively. It was found that the condition of these centers regarding the protective barriers is very unsuitable due to unawareness of the leakage (5, 6).Considering the mentioned necessities, in this study, the condition of radiography centers affiliated to the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences was studied for the type and the rate of problem, in order to provide a proper solving method. Results Data were collected through, observation, interviewing and filling questionnaire. Results show that, the situations of the radiology units are for from international standard, to such an extent that it is matched clout 50%. Conclusion The results showed that, none of the dark rooms are standard, and do not have proper alarm signal. In 63% of these units there no tiling system about staff protection from radiation. Defects in radiography room, protective barrier and lack looking rays were 60%, 51% and 47% respectively. Referring to the obtained data, periodic supervision, and obeying of the standards are necessary.

The setting up of anesthesia units and any future planning in this field has to be considered in the context of the social and economic development of the country. The situation requires a different attitude towards the handling of anesthesia, where malnutrition, kwashiorkor and parasites are the dominant diseases. One sixth of the world's population is permanently undernourished, and the figure might even be higher in many “developing countries.”Problems of an esthesiain most areas in Africa include: (1) insufficient supply of drugs; (2) inadequate equipment; (3) lack of anesthetic manpower; and (4) underestimation of the importance of anesthesia.

Thesis (MCurr)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Nurse managers are responsible to staff different hospital units and departments with sufficient, trained and experienced personnel. Most critical care units in the private healthcare in South Africa are staffed below maximum workload levels and additional staff is supplemented when needed. Current staffing management strategies comprises the application of the patient acuity score, the utilisation of contracted agency staff and ward staff who assist occasionally in the critical care unit (CCU). The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of critical care nurses regarding staffing management within critical care units in private health care institutions in the Western Cape. The following objectives were set to: - explore the experiences of CCNs regarding staffing management strategies such as o the patient acuity score o the employment of ad hoc agency staff and o the utilization of ward staff A descriptive design with a qualitative approach was applied. A sample size of n=15 was drawn from a total population of N=377, using purposive sampling technique. A pilot-test was also completed. The trustworthiness of this study was assured with the use of Lincoln and Guba’s criteria of credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability. All ethical principles were met. The findings of the study demonstrated that nurses perceive the workload in critical care units as heavy. The utilisation of the acuity score does not really assist in relieving the workload as managers tend not to consider the staffing requirements as predicted by the acuity score due to budget constraints. The enrolled nurses who assist occasionally in the critical care unit require supervision as well as ongoing development to ensure safe and quality patient care. Yet agency nurses were perceived as either extraordinary good or incompetent.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Verpleegbestuurders het die verantwoordelik om verskillende hospitaaleenhede en departemente met voldoende opgeleide en ervare personeel te voorsien. Die meeste kritieke sorgeenhede in Suid-Afrika word met minder as dan die maksimum werkladingsvlak beman en addisionele personeel word aangevul wanneer nodig. Huidige personeelbestuurstrategieë behels die toepassing van die pasiënt akuïteit telling, die gebruik van ingekontrakteerde agentskap-personeel en saalpersoneel wat per geleentheid in die kritiekesorgeenheid help. Die doel van die studie was om die ervaringe van kritieke-sorgverpleegsters ten opsigte van personeel bestuur binne die kritiekesorgeenhede in die privaat gesondheidsorginstellings in die Weskaap, te ondersoek. Die volgende doelwitte is gestel: - Om die ervaringe van kritieke-sorgverpleegsters aangaande personeelbestuur-strategieë te ondersoek, soos: o die pasiënt akuïteit telling o die gebruik van agentskapverpleegpersoneel en o die gebruik van saal personeel, te ondersoek ’n Beskrywende kwalitatiewe studie is toegepas. ’n Steekproef van n=15 is uit ’n totale populasie van N=377 getrek deur die doelgerigte steekproeftegniek te gebruik. ’n Loodstoetsing van die semi-gestruktureerde vraelys is ook gedoen. Die betroubaarheid van hierdie studie was verseker deur van Lincoln en Guba se kriteria vir geloofwaardigheid, oordraagbaarheid, betroubaarheid en bevestigbaarheid gebruik te maak. Daar is aan alle etiese vereistes voldoen. Die bevindings van die studie toon dat die verpleegpersoneel die werklading in die kritiekesorgeenheid as veeleisend ervaar. Die aanwending van die pasiënt akuïteit-telling dra nie werklik by tot verligting van die werklading nie, aangesien bestuurders weens begrotingsbeperkings neig om nie die personeelbenodigdhede soos deur die akuïteit-telling voorspel in ag neem nie. Die ingeskrewe verpleegsters wat per geleentheid in die kritieke-sorgeenheid hulp verleen, benodig toesig asook volgehoue ontwikkeling ten einde veilige en kwaliteit pasiëntsorg te verseker. Die agentskapverpleegpersoneel is egter as baie bekwaam of onbevoeg beskou.

For the dismantling of the pressure vessels and internals of the Greifwald WWER units 1–4, remote dismantling procedures are necessary. In order to realise this, 3 different cutting areas are used, i.e.: a wet cutting pool for highly activated parts, a dry cutting area for less activated parts and a specific cutting area for the annular water tank. Techniques and procedures were tested in a mock-up installation, with original components from the not operated reactor units 7 and 8. Special emphasis was given to evaluate the expected radiation exposure of the personnel, the maximum application time of the tools and the minimization of the secondary waste. The complete testing program was executed from October 1999 to September 2002. The authorised expert was involved in all steps of the testing. Thus a firm basis for the licensing and the execution of the remote dismantling could be established. Based on the results of the model dismantling and the selection of tools and procedures, the times necessary for the different operation steps could be calculated. With these figures, the manpower and the ambient dose rate it was possible to calculate the time need for the dismantling and also the expected dose commitment. This information was mandatory for the project planning and the preparation of the licensing documents. Presently the implantation of components and systems are going on in unit 2 and the start of cutting of the first activated pressure vessel is scheduled for end of 2003.

Full textAbstract:
Nearly every power plant in the US must undergo annual Relative Accuracy Test Audits (RATA testing) to confirm the values reported by their continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS). In order to perform a RATA test, the plant must operate at one or more stable loads for a number of hours. Depending on the type of unit and fuel, the required load levels for RATA testing can range from low, mid and high loads for coal-fired units to a single (normal) load for oil and gas fired units or four loads (from partial load to maximum load) for units utilizing 40 CFR Part 75 Appendix E alternative monitoring systems. Many plants operate in a dispatch environment where the plant is not in control of their load from hour to hour, and some even from minute to minute, such as those operating under Automatic Generation Control (AGC). Scheduling plant loads for the RATA testing must often be done far in advance and can come at a high price when factoring in fuel costs. Because it can be a significant undertaking to schedule the loads for a series of RATA tests, it makes economic sense to schedule other testing also requiring unit stability concurrently with the RATA tests. One of the most important tests that fits this category is performance testing for plant capacity and/or heat rate. Many plants are now required to perform capacity and/or heat rate demonstrations on a periodic basis to support their power purchase agreements or transmission reliability requirements. But even plants without performance test requirements can benefit from gathering performance related data during RATA testing. For plants dispatched based on demonstrated heat rates, understanding the heat rate impact of operating in AGC or at partial loads is essential. Awareness of expected heat rate is also vital for plants that must nominate their fuel consumption requirements in advance. If the RATA test loads are planned correctly, performance data collected during the RATA test periods can be used not only to fulfill required demonstrations for capacity and heat rate, but also to determine the actual annual degradation (recoverable and non-recoverable) observed for the plant equipment. Test data can also be used to build or update performance forecasting tools for dispatch purposes. Depending on the complexity of the RATA testing, multiple load points may be available (from minimum to maximum load) which can provide data on fuel consumption at various loads, supporting fuel purchasing and planning requirements for the plant. This paper intends to outline the value of coordinating annual performance tests with RATA tests in terms of manpower, load scheduling and fuel consumption. This paper will also discuss a number of issues that may arise when coordinating multiple tests — which could be performed by numerous independent parties, as well as the additional benefits which can be gained by collecting adequate performance data during RATA test periods.

Full textAbstract:
The preparation and planning process for smart sensor usage in aircraft gas turbine testing is described. The smart sensors are planned for usage in a process called Snap-In/Snap-Out (SISO). The current instrumentation setup process for testing in an altitude test cell requires a multitude of aerodynamic pressure lines (up to 600 lines) and electrical cables for instrumentation measurement and excitation (up to 800 cables) be routed through patch panels to pressure scanners, power supply/signal conditioners, analog-to-digital (A/D) systems, and acquisition systems for processing, display, recording, analysis, and transmission of the data. The process is manpower intensive in both setup and configuration control. The SISO process will use smart sensors with calibrations and measurement information on the sensors plus consolidation of all sensor outputs before they exit the engine test stand; this configuration offers the opportunity to reduce the number of connections for measured data to one or at most a few wires. Measurement information stored with the sensor reduces the probability of configuring the instrumentation system incorrectly. The SISO process is presented here along with attendant cost reductions for instrumentation setup time, configuration management, and infrastructure maintenance. The discussion of planning activities includes certifying the smart sensor units for operation in the test cell environment, assessing the uncertainty of the sensor units, the schedule for implementation, and future requirements for smart sensors. Also discussed are the use of state-of-the-art smart sensors and legacy sensors, for several applications (pressure, temperature, position, and voltage) and for both transient and dynamic measurements.
