Full textAbstract:
Compared with general commercial reverse logistics operators, the recovery and treatment of expired drugs and medical waste is a complex and highly technically difficult project. The qualifications required by the relevant service providers are also more stringent. For medical institutions, the selection of reverse logistics operators is always a critical issue. On the perspective of sustainability, this paper aims to investigate and explore the critical factors of selecting a medical reverse logistics service provider. Through the process of the Delphi method, the experts’ assessments were collected, and 24 factors affecting the selection of medical reverse logistics service provider were screened and summarized. Then, Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) was employed to calculate the total influence values and net influence values between factors that could be used to draw the visual causal map. Referring the causal map, “Green process operation level” and “Recycling process greening degree” are significantly higher than other factors in terms of total influence value and net influence value. Therefore, they can be regarded as crucial factors. This finding implies that medical reverse logistics providers must have the ability to improve the greening of facilities, as well as equipment, integrating existing processes to make it greener and environmentally friendly.

Abstract Background Antipsychotic medications are evidence-based treatments for schizophrenia that improve health outcomes and reduce costs. However, rates of non-adherence to oral antipsychotic medications can exceed 60%. We examined whether a simple checklist to identify individuals not receiving optimum benefit from current oral antipsychotic treatment (NOB Checklist) and The Multi-level Facilitation of Long-acting Antipsychotic Medication Program (MAP) could increase the appropriate use of long-acting injectable antipsychotic medication (LAI) in community clinics. Methods Two clinics in Texas and two in Ohio changed clinical procedures in one of two ways 1) NOB only clinics--providers used a five-item checklist to identify individuals with schizophrenia on oral antipsychotics who were Not receiving Optimum Benefit from current treatment and may therefore benefit from a switch to LAI. 2) MAP- providers used the NOB checklist AND received MAP; MAP is a novel behavior change intervention designed to improve the identification of individuals who could benefit from LAI, improve their outcomes and reduce inappropriate use of resources associated with poor adherence. MAP targets 3 stakeholder groups 1) the consumer for whom peer specialists showed a video describing shared decision making and how to make a choice between tablets and injections, and provided a balanced shared-decision making tool to assist them in choosing medication route,2) the provider who received academic detailing describing various LAI options, how to make good offers as part of a shared decision making dialogue, and important benefits of LAI including the ability to disentangle efficacy versus poor adherence and to help individuals with cognitive and practical problems that lead to poor adherence, and 3) the administrators who received information on how LAI could improve outcomes for individuals and clinic processes, how to encourage the use of LAI among providers and how to provide regular feedback to providers about prescribing practices. The primary outcome was the percentage of LAI versus oral antipsychotic medication prescribed to individuals with schizophrenia. Results Higher NOB checklist scores were associated with an increased provider likelihood of LAI offers and increased consumer acceptance of LAI. All clinics increased use of LAI over time. In Texas, where MAP was fully implemented, the MAP clinic had greater use of LAI over time (eventually reaching about 50% of all antipsychotic use) vs. the NOB only clinic. In Cleveland, the patient stakeholder curriculum was not delivered and there was no significant difference in LAI use between MAP and NOB clinics. Discussion The NOB checklist appears to be a useful tool to help identify patients who might be appropriate candidates for LAI and the full MAP program may help clinicians and consumers to work together to optimize the appropriate use of LAI in outpatient settings. Implementation must be customized for clinics and workflows to determine which parts of the MAP program are practical and appropriate. Participation of consumer stakeholders may be essential to delivery of the MAP Program.

Organizations make use of project management methodologies, which provide an effective manner to achieve managerial goals, maintain the strength of the companies in increasing competition. Efficiency in planning, budgeting, and scheduling are provided so that high quality outputs are obtained through these processes. Agile project management methodology, which has been emerged from unpredictability of customer requirements and changeable business environment, is apt to cope with the failures of traditional project management tools. Besides, lean six-sigma project management methodology has become a combination of lean and six-sigma, which were opponent methodologies previously. This paper aims to determine the most suitable outsourcing provider alternative by presenting a novel cognitive maps-based intuitionistic fuzzy decision making procedure. Interrelationships among evaluation criteria are weighted employing intuitionistic fuzzy cognitive map technique because of the causal links among evaluation criteria, vagueness, fuzziness, and hesitation in data. Moreover, the most appropriate provider alternative for both agile and lean six-sigma project management methodologies is identified by utilizing intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method, which aims for minimizing the closeness to the ideal solution while maximizing the distance from the anti-ideal solution in hesitative environment. The case study is carried out in a bank that performs in Turkish banking sector.

Antimicrobial stewardship refers to a set of coordinated strategies to improve the use of antimicrobial medications with the goal of enhancing patient health outcomes, reducing resistance to antibiotics and decreasing unnecessary costs. While clinical microbiologists with clinical pharmacists are considered the main leaders of antimicrobial stewardship programs, clinical microbiologists can play a key role in these programs. This review is intended to provide a comprehensive discussion of the different components of antimicrobial stewardship in which microbiology laboratories and clinical microbiologists can make significant contributions, including cumulative antimicrobial susceptibility reports, enhanced culture, and guidance in the pre analytic phase, rapid diagnostic test availability, provider education, and alert and surveillance systems.

Coastal ecosystems provide various ecosystem services in the form of natural resources, life support services, aesthetical values and comfort.The key ecosystems providing those services include estuaries, mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass beds.Some ecosystem services provided by the key coastal ecosystems function as producers, life supporters, wave absorbers, litter provider for detritus and decomposers, and carbon cycles regulator in the ecosystem. Though their roles are vital for Jakarta bay and its surrounding areas, ecosystem service aspect in Jakarta Bay is understudied. The previous limited studies focused mostly on economics valuation aspect and descriptive studies, ignoring the modeling and mapping aspects of the ecosystem services. InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) is a tool to map and model ecosystem services in an explicitly spatial representation.InVEST can be used to map and model changes in ecosystem servicess that will be affected by multi-scalechanges in the Jakarta Bay, particularlyland reclamation and what's so called as the Giant Sea Wall.The output generated through the spatial and temporal mapmodeling in inVESTcan account for ecosystem services in past, presentand future scenarios. In the context of various coastal development in Jakarta bay, the results of InVEST can be then be used asvaluableinput tocoastal management of Jakarta Bay, e.g. for mangrove management as a blue carbon ecosystem service provider.

IntroductionNudges, or low-effort interventions aimed at influencing behaviour, can improve provider medical decision-making through promoting adherence to practice guidelines. Strengthening provider–patient humanistic connection through nudges may increase provider satisfaction, mitigate burnout and improve patient satisfaction and outcomes. This scoping review aims to map the literature investigating provider-directed, low-effort interventions aimed at enhancing the provider–patient connection.Methods and analysisThe authors conducted a preliminary search to identify terms that will be used in the final search strategy. The search follows Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and will be used to query Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO and Cochrane databases. Two authors will work independently to screen abstracts and full text. We will summarise the findings using descriptive statistics and narrative synthesis and will use SEIPS 2.0 as the anchoring framework.Ethics and disseminationAs a secondary analysis of published data, this study does not require ethics approval. The results will be submitted to relevant academic peer-reviewed journals and conferences. We anticipate that the interventions surveyed in this scoping review will have the potential to be incorporated into clinical practice at an individual and systemic level with the goal of enhancing providers’ sense of meaning connected to their work, mitigating burnout and improving the patient experience.

Full textAbstract:
Although proprietary and free web map applications have become an important part of daily life, individual map styling has been neglected for a fairly long time. With the latest possibilities of custom adjustment provided by many services and some interesting artistic experiments, this is about to change. In the context of artistic cartography and custom map styling, this work explores the possibilities of employing an automated process for the generation of WMTS compatible map tiles with an artistic styling. Web mapping standards and techniques of non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) are considered as well as traditional cartographic representations. Furthermore, existing vector- and raster-based processes are analyzed including an interactive workflow with the open-source image editing software GIMP, which is examined with respect to its drawing capabilities. Based on this, a concept for an automated rendering process is developed and influencing factors along with input parameters are discussed. An experimental automated processing is implemented using GIMP and its Python scripting interface to create single maps and seamless map tiles for the use in a WMTS application. Different drawing techniques of GIMP, such as brushes, dynamics and masks are applied during the rendering process. Geodata is taken from the freely available OpenStreetMap project and it is stored in a geodatabase. Furthermore, the GIS capabilities of the database are used to implement custom query procedures for the creation of seamless tiles, feature simplification and generalization that makes a preprocessing of the data unnecessary. Additionally randomization methods for the estrangement and abstraction of the SVG vector graphics geometry to emulate a hand-drawn appearance are created based on non-photorealistic rendering techniques. As a result, various rendering and abstraction processes are evaluated and discussed regarding their contribution to an artistic appearance. Map tiles are created using these stylings which are WMTS compatible and can be presented in a web mapping application.

Full textAbstract:
La quiescence et la prolifération reflètent deux stades cellulaires fondamentalement différents, mais il existe très peu d'informations sur la manière dont les cellules maintiennent la stabilité de leur génome en quiescence. En utilisant des levures de fission privées d’azote comme modèle de quiescence, notre laboratoire a démontré que les cellules subissent non seulement les dommages de l’ADN aux indépendantes de la réplication linéairement avec le temps. Dans les travaux en cours, nous avons démontré que les mutations accumulées au cours de la phase d'arrêt de la croissance subissent un processus de sélection en quiescence similaire à celui observé chez E. coli. La sélection favorise les mutations qui affectent les fonctions des gènes des 3 voies de la MAP-kinase (mkh1, pek1, pmk1) et de la SAP-kinase (win1, wis1, sty1) et de leurs cibles en aval (pmc1, sgf73, tif452). Ces gènes sont impliqués dans la signalisation cellulaire centrale qui régule la prolifération, la différenciation et la mort cellulaire conservée chez toutes les espèces eucaryotes, de la levure à l'homme. Des mutations dans des composants de la voie S/MAPK ou dans ses régulateurs sont associées à de multiples maladies chez l'homme, dont certains cancers et une mort neuronale dégénérative en fonction de l'âge. Les cellules libèrent des traces d'azote lors de leur mort, ce qui déclenche l'entrée dans le cycle cellulaire des cellules encore en vie. Les cellules sauvages ne peuvent compléter un cycle et meurent, libérant davantage d'azote. Les mutants de la voie S/MAPK sont caractérisés par une capacité d'entrée dans le cycle différente en fonction de la concentration d'azote disponible ce qui entraine une résistance à la mort cellulaire<br>Quiescence and proliferation reflect two fundamentally different cellular stages, yet very limited information exists on how cells maintain their genome stability in quiescence. Using nitrogen-starved fission yeast as a model for quiescence, our laboratory has demonstrated that cells are not only subject to DNA damage in G0 but also accumulate replication-independent mutations linearly with time. In our current work, we have demonstrated that mutations accumulating in growth-arrested phase undergo a selection process in quiescence similar to that observed in E. coli. Selection favors mutations that affect functions of the genes of the MAP-kinase (mkh1, pek1, pmk1) and SAP-kinase pathways (win1, wis1, sty1), and their downstream targets (pmc1, sgf73, tif452). These genes represent core cellular signaling that regulates cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell death conserved among all eukaryotic species from yeast to human. Mutations in components of the S/MAPK pathways and their regulators are associated with multiple diseases in humans, primary cancer and degenerative neuronal death accumulated with ageing. In this work, we have demonstrated that wild-type cells dying in quiescence release traces of nitrogen that triggers the viable population to exit from quiescence. The wild-type cells are dying during their entry into S-phase releasing more nitrogen. Thus, mutants in the S/MAPK pathways are better scavengers and selection in quiescence is characterized by the ability of the mutant to resume cycling in quiescence coupled with a resistance to programed cell death

Full textAbstract:
Since the cloning of the only known cannabinoid receptor in the human brain, CB₁, scientists have been trying to elucidate the mechanisms of action of this receptor. The possibility of yet unidentified cannabinoid receptors in human brain makes it important to be certain that any results obtained from studies of the CB₁ receptor are due strictly to this receptor. Therefore, the cloned human cannabinoid CB₁ receptor has been stably expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO/CB₁) cells, which do not endogenously express and known cannabinoid receptors. Saturation binding studies using [³H]SR141716A and [³H]CP55,940 determined that this system expresses the human cannabinoid CB₁ receptor at approximately 1.8 pmoles of receptor/mg protein and that this expression system is able to differentially bind agonists (CP55,940) and antagonists (SR141716A). In the [³⁵S]GTPγS binding assay, CP55,940, WIN 55,212-2 and HU-210 are full agonists, methanandamide and 11-OH-Δ⁹-THC are partial agonists, Δ⁹-THC is a competitive antagonist and SR141716A and AM630 are inverse agonists. The results for the full and partial agonists are consistent with those reported for these: compounds in mammalian brain. The findings that Δ⁹-THC is a competitive antagonist and that SR141716A and AM630 are inverse agonists in the [³⁵S]GTPγS assay are novel. CP55,940 and WIN 55,212-2 were also shown to be full agonists by maximally inhibiting forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation in CHO/CB₁ cells. The finding that SR141716A is an inverse agonist was further supported by its ability to augment forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation. Interestingly, Δ⁹-THC was a partial agonist in this assay since it inhibited forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation, but to a lesser extent than either CP55,950, or WIN 55,212-2. This difference in the activity of Δ⁹-THC warrants further study. Pertussis toxin abolished the effects of cannabinoid ligands in these functional assays, confirming that the effects of these compounds are mediated through inhibitory Gᵢ/ₒ proteins. The data obtained from radioligand binding and functional assays with the human cannabinoid CB₁ receptor stably expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells conclude that this is a model system to study the pharmacological effects of cannabinoids and to predict the actions of cannabinoids in man.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on the protection of the patient’s privacy in health care in Sweden. It is crucially important that the patient has confidence in the health care and that patient data are kept secret from other persons and authorities. A patient who is unsure about secrecy and confidentiality may choose not to provide data that could prove necessary for health care personnel to arrive at an accurate diagnosis. Some individuals might even avoid seeking medical help from fear that data may be spread to outsiders. Inadequate protection of sensitive data may lead to the confidence of citizens in health care eventually eroding or vanishing completely. Protection of patient privacy is thus of fundamental importance in this area. In the area of health care, the intention of the legislator is that the regulations regarding secrecy in public health care and confidentiality in private health care will guarantee protection of patient privacy. Secrecy in public health care is regulated mainly in Chapter 25, Section 1 of the Swedish Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act (2009:400). In private health care, confidentiality is regulated mainly in Chapter 6, Section 12, first paragraph, and Section 16 of the Swedish Act on Patient Safety (2010:659). The overall purpose of the thesis is to examine and analyse the legislator’s intentions and the juridical construction regarding the rules of secrecy and confidentiality, from the perspective of patient privacy. The starting point of the thesis is that the patient’s privacy should be strongly protected. One of the main conclusions is that the legal construction cannot be considered to be in accordance with the legislator’s intention that the regulation of patient privacy protection should constitute a strong protection for the patient’s privacy, be comprehensible, clear and easy to apply for health care personnel, as well as being the same in both public and private health care.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of madness as a challenge to communities lies at the core of legal sources. Medieval Communities and the Mad: Narratives of Crime and Mental Illness in Late Medieval France considers how communal networks, ranging from the locale to the realm, responded to people who were considered mad. The madness of individuals played a role in engaging communities with legal mechanisms and proto-national identity constructs, as petitioners sought the king’s mercy as an alternative to local justice. The resulting narratives about the mentally ill in late medieval France constructed madness as an inability to live according to communal rules. Although such texts defined madness through acts that threatened social bonds, those ties were reaffirmed through the medium of the remission letter. The composers of the letters presented madness as a communal concern, situating the mad within the household, where care could be provided. Those considered mad were usually not expelled but integrated, often through pilgrimage, surveillance, or chains, into their kin and communal relationships.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractLandmarks, salient spatial objects, play an important role in orientation and navigation. They provide a spatial reference frame that helps to make sense of complex environments. Landmark representations in maps support map matching and orientation, because matching landmarks to their map representations provides information about spatial directions and distances. However, effective landmark-based map matching demands sufficiently accurate georeferencing of the landmarks represented in a map, because spatial inaccuracies of landmark representations cause distortions of the spatial reference frame and derived directions and distances. The requirement of accurate landmark georeferencing imposes difficulties on the use of maps based on Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) for map matching. Differences of the motivation, competence, and available apparatus of volunteers can cause great variations of the data quality in VGI-based maps, including spatial accuracy of landmark representations. In a series of experiments, we investigated and quantified to what extent spatial inaccuracies of landmark representations in VGI-based maps affect map matching. Based on the findings, we were able to identify critical thresholds for spatial landmark inaccuracies. Furthermore, we explored potential ways to sustain successful map matching at higher degrees of spatial landmark inaccuracies. Through visual communication of spatial uncertainties, we were able to make map users more resilient to potential inaccuracies and sustain successful map matching.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractLandmarks play a crucial role in map reading and in the formation of mental spatial models. Especially when following a route to get to a fixed destination, landmarks are crucial orientation aids. Which objects from the multitude of spatial objects in an environment are suitable as landmarks and, for example, can be automatically displayed in navigation systems has hardly been clarified. The analysis of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) offers the possibility of no longer having to separate methodologically between active and passive salience of landmarks in order to gain insights into the effect of landmarks on orientation ability or memory performance. Since the users (groups) involved are map producers and map users at the same time, an analysis of the user behavior of user-generated maps provides in-depth insights into cognitive processes and enables the direct derivation of basic methodological principles for map design. The landmarks determined on the basis of the VGI and entered as signs in maps can provide indications of the required choice, number, and position of landmarks that users need in order to orientate themselves in space with the help of maps. The results of several empirical studies show which landmark pictograms from OpenStreetMap (OSM) maps are cognitively processed quickly by users and which spatial position they must have in order to be able to increase memory performance, for example, during route learning.

AbstractThis chapter presents a review of Land Use Cover (LUC) datasets at global and supranational scales. To this end, we differentiate between LUC maps (Sect. 3) and reference LUC datasets (Sect. 4). The former map how different land uses or covers are distributed across the Earth’s surface. The latter provides a sample of LUC data for specific points on Earth and are normally used in LUC mapping and modelling calibration and validation exercises. We also include a brief presentation of the main producers of LUC datasets (Sect. 2). The LUC maps reviewed here are classified according to different criteria. First, we differentiate between general LUC maps (Sect. 3.2), which provide information about all land uses and covers on Earth, and thematic LUC maps (Sect. 3.3), which focus on the mapping of a specific land use or cover. Second, we classify general and thematic LUC maps according to their extent, distinguishing between global and supra-national LUC maps. The general maps are classified according to the continent for which they provide information, either fully or partially, while the thematic maps are classified according to the type of land use or cover they focus on. Most of the datasets reviewed in this chapter are characterized in detail in Part IV of this book, to which this chapter acts as an introduction. This chapter includes a series of tables with all the datasets, indicating those for which a detailed description is provided in Part IV.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThere is a wide variety of global thematic Land Use Cover (LUC) datasets characterizing agricultural covers. Most of them focus on cropland areas, providing information on their extent or the percentage of cropland cover on the ground. In some cases, the focus is more specific and they provide information on cropland irrigation practices. In other cases, specific maps charting the extension of different crops are also available. In this chapter, we review 8 different datasets with a spatial resolution of at least 1 km. There are many other datasets characterizing agricultural covers at coarser resolutions, such as the Historic Croplands Dataset, GMRCA or GIAM. Their coarse resolution hampers their potential application in practice, which is why they are not described in detail in this chapter. Nor do we analyse FROM-GC, a dataset mapping the extent of global cropland at 30 m, because it is not currently accessible. GFSAD30 has the highest resolution of all the datasets reviewed (30 m). It also provides some of the most up-to-date information (2015). However, it only charts the extent of cropland. As part of an associated project, GFSAD1KCD and GFSAD1KCM characterize cropland areas in 9 and 7 categories respectively at 1 km for 2010. They provide information on the irrigation status of the crops. GFSAD1KCD and GFSAD1KCM were obtained from data fusion. This method is commonly used in the production of many of the cropland datasets reviewed: IIASA-IFPRI cropland map, Global Synergy Cropland Map, Unified Cropland Layer (UCL) and ASAP Land Cover Masks. The IIASA-IFPRI (2005) and ASAP maps provide information on the proportion of cropland at a spatial resolution of 1 km. ASAP also includes a map on rangeland covers, and as such is the only dataset described in this chapter that maps a cover other than croplands. The Global Synergy Cropland Map (2010) and the Unified Cropland Layer (2014) also map cropland proportions, although they have been produced at higher spatial resolutions: 500 and 250 m respectively. The Global Cropland Extent product maps the extent of cropland at 250 m based on imagery from 2000-2008. Although thematically limited, this dataset is less affected by time variability, as it is based on imagery taken over a long period (8 years). Finally, GRIPC maps the extent of three types of cropland area (irrigated, rainfed and paddy crops) at 500 m for 2005.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe mapping of artificial covers at a global scale has received increasing attention in recent years. Numerous thematic global Land Use Cover (LUC) datasets focusing on artificial surfaces have been produced at increasingly high spatial resolutions and using methods that ensure improved levels of accuracy. In fact, there are several long time series of maps showing the evolution of artificial surfaces from the 1980s to the present. Most of them allow for change detection over time, which is possible, thanks to the high level of accuracy at which artificial surfaces can be mapped and because transitions from artificial to non-artificial covers are very rare. Global thematic LUC datasets characterizing artificial covers usually map the extent or percentage of artificial or urban areas across the world. They do not provide thematic detail on the different uses or covers that make up artificial or urban surfaces. Unlike other general or thematic LUC datasets, those focusing on artificial covers make extensive use of radar data. In several cases, optical and radar imagery have been used together, as each source provides complementary information. Global Urban Expansion 1992–2016 and ISA, which were produced at a spatial resolution of 1 km, are the coarsest of the nine datasets reviewed in this chapter. ISA provides information on the percentage of impervious surface area per pixel. The GHSL edition of 2014 and the GMIS at 30 m also provide sub-pixel information, whereas all the other datasets reviewed here only map the extent of artificial/impervious/urban areas. Most of the datasets reviewed in this chapter were produced at a spatial resolution of 30 m. This is due to the extensive use of Landsat imagery in the production of these datasets. Landsat provides a long, high-resolution series of satellite imagery that enables effective mapping of the evolution of impervious surfaces at detailed scales. Of the datasets produced at 30 m, Global Urban Land maps artificial covers for seven different dates between 1980 and 2015, while GHSL does the same for five different dates between 1987 and 2016, although the map for the last date was produced at 20 m. GUB maps the extent of urban land for seven dates between 1990 and 2018 and was produced together with GAIA, which provides an annual series of maps for the period 1985–2018. HBASE, GMIS and GISM, also at 30 m, are only available for one reference year. The same is true of GUF and WSF, which were produced as part of the same effort to map global artificial surfaces as accurately as possible. They provide the most detailed datasets up to date, with spatial resolutions of 12 m (GUF) and 10 m (WSF). Future updates of WSF will produce a consistent time series of global LC maps of artificial areas from the 1980s to the present. It aims to be the longest, most detailed, most accurate dataset ever produced on this subject.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractGeneral Land Use Cover (LUC) datasets provide a holistic picture of all the land uses and covers on Earth, without focusing specifically on any individual land use category. As opposed to the LUC maps which are only available for one date or year, reviewed in Chap. “Global General Land Use Cover Datasets with a Single Date”, the maps with time series allow users to study LUC change over time. Time series of general LUC datasets at a global scale is useful for understanding global patterns of LUC change and their relation with global processes such as climate change or the loss of biodiversity. MCD12Q1, also known as MODIS Land Cover, was the first time series of LUC maps to be produced on a global scale. When it was first launched in 2002, there were already many organizations and researchers working on accurate, detailed global LUC maps, although these were all one-off editions for single years. The MCD12Q1 dataset continues to be updated today, providing a series of maps for the period 2001–2018. Since the launch of MCD12Q1, many other historical series of LUC maps have been produced, especially in the last decade. This has resulted in the LUC map series covering a longer time period at higher spatial resolution. Recent efforts have focused on producing consistent time series of maps that can track LUC changes over time with low levels of uncertainty. GLCNMO (500 m), GlobCover (300 m) and GLC250 (250 m) provide time series of LUC maps at similar spatial resolutions to MCD12Q1 (500 m), although for fewer reference years. GLCNMO provides information for the years 2003, 2008 and 2013, GlobCover for 2005 and 2009 and GLC250 for 2001 and 2010. GLASS-GLC is the dataset with the coarsest spatial resolution of all those reviewed in this chapter (5 km), even though it was released very recently, in 2020. Map producers have focused on this dataset’s long timespan (1982–2015) rather than on its spatial detail. LC-CCI and CGLS-LC100 are the recently launched datasets providing a consistent series of LUC maps, which show LUC changes over time with lower levels of uncertainty. LC-CCI provides LUC information for one of the longest timespans reviewed here (1992–2018) at a spatial resolution of 300 m. CGLS-LC100 provides LUC information for a shorter period (2015–2019) but at a higher spatial resolution (100 m). In both cases, updates are scheduled. The datasets with the highest levels of spatial detail are FROM-GLC and GLC30. These were produced using highly detailed Landsat imagery, delivering time series of maps at 30 m. The FROM-GLC project even has a test LUC map at a spatial resolution of 10 m from Sentinel-2 imagery for the year 2017, making it the global dataset with the greatest spatial detail of all those reviewed in this book. Both FROM-GLC and GLC30 provide data for three different dates: the former for 2010, 2015 and 2017 and the latter for 2000, 2010 and 2020.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractVegetation covers were one of the first land covers to receive special attention when thematic Land Use Cover (LUC) maps first appeared. Interest in this subject has remained strong since then because of the valuable information that these datasets provide for monitoring forests, deforestation and climate change, among other issues. A wide variety of thematic LUC datasets characterizing vegetation covers are currently available. In this chapter, we review eleven of these datasets, most of which provide long series of LUC maps, so permitting the study of LUC change. In thematic terms, most of the maps provide information on the vegetation or tree cover fraction per pixel, so characterizing the vegetation covers on Earth in great detail. A specific dataset has been found that maps mangrove distribution across the globe at 30 m for one date (1997/00). It is not included in this review because of its high specificity, which means it is only of interest to certain communities of users. Of all the products reviewed here, the World’s Forests 2000 is probably the most basic, providing information about three wooded cover categories for the year 1995/96 at a spatial resolution of 1 km. SYNMAP is a very specific thematic map designed to meet the needs of the carbon cycle and vegetation modelling community, which was produced at a spatial resolution of 1 km and with a legend of 48 categories. Among the maps providing information on the fraction of vegetation cover per pixel, the Hybrid Forest Mask 2000 (1 km) and the PTC Global Version (500 m–1 km) offer relatively coarse resolutions and few points in time: just one date in the former (2000) and two in the latter (2003, 2008). The Forests of the World 2010 is also available for just one year (2010), albeit at a more detailed spatial resolution (250 m). Various datasets provide information on the cover fraction for long periods of time at medium and high spatial resolutions. FCover provides the longest time series (1999-present) at 1 km, although since 2014 this dataset is also available at 300 m. Modis VCF also offers a long data series (2000–2019) at a spatial resolution of 250 m. MEaSUREs Vegetation Continuous Fields (VCF) is another thematic LUC dataset providing information on the tree cover fraction of the earth surface for a very long time period: 1982–2016. However, it is not reviewed here because of its coarse spatial resolution (around 5.6 km at the Equator). At very detailed spatial resolutions, GFCC30TC Landsat VCF (30 m) provides data on the cover fraction for four different points in time, between 2000 and 2015. It also gives information on forest change for two periods (1990–2000/2000–2005) through the associated GFCC30FCC dataset. The Hansen forest map (30 m) also provides one of the longest time series, from 2000 to 2019. Global FNF is the dataset with the highest resolution (25 m) of all those reviewed. It is available for two periods of time: 2007–2010 and 2015–2017. In thematic terms, however, this dataset is less detailed, in that it only differentiates between forest and non-forest covers. TanDEM-X Forest/Non-Forest also provides information on the forest extent at high spatial resolution (50 m). However, the map is only available for one point in time. Like Global FNF, it was also obtained from the classification of radar data.

This chapter presents a case study illustrating the validity of employing a mixed-methods approach based on a draw-a-map task and semi-structured sociolinguistic interviews in language attitude research of a New Englishes context. This is illustrated by the analysis of two data sets. First, 49 participants drew perceptual maps of St Kitts and Nevis. The analysis of these maps shows that the participants exhibit complex perceptual landscapes, including areas with varying degrees of fine-grained subdivisions. In addition, interview data from sociolinguistic interviews allows for triangulation of the data and furthermore provides additional information. Thus, this chapter shows how a mixed-methods approach, including map-drawing tasks, can enrich the toolbox of research in New Englishes.

AbstractSeveral general Land Use Cover (LUC) datasets are available for Africa. They provide a general picture of the land uses and covers in more than one African country, rather than focusing on any specific type. In this chapter, we review six datasets of this kind. Only one (CCI LAND COVER – S2 PROTOTYPE, 30 m) covers the whole continent, while the others map certain specific regions of Africa. All these datasets have been produced within the context of specific projects, usually sponsored by international organizations such as the European Space Agency (ESA), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) or the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Once these projects come to an end, no new updates of the maps were published, which limits the potential and the temporal resolution of the available datasets. For Africa, only the West Africa Land Use Land Cover (2 km) and the SERVIR-ESA (30 m) provide a time series of LUC maps. The first provides maps for three reference years (1975, 2000, 2013), while in the second the number of maps available and their respective reference years vary from country to country: from 2 to 4 different editions issued between 1990 and 2015. AFRICOVER (1:200,000) and the Congo Basin Vegetation Types dataset (300 m) provide LUC information for just one reference year, although they were created from imagery covering a long time-span: 1994–2001 for AFRICOVER and 2000–2007 for Congo Basin Vegetation Types. The SADC Land Cover Database (1:250,000) was obtained by merging and harmonizing national and regional LUC datasets. As a result, the reference year varies from one country to the next, always between 1990 and 1997. The CCI LAND COVER – S2 PROTOTYPE was produced at the highest spatial resolution of all the datasets reviewed in this chapter (30 m). It also provided the most comprehensive, most updated LUC image of Africa, with information for the year 2015/16.

AbstractIn this chapter we review some examples of general Land Use Cover (LUC) mapping at a supra-national level in America and Asia. These datasets provide a general overview of the land uses and covers in specific American or Asian regions, without focusing on any particular land use or cover. For Asia, we have only identified one dataset mapping the Himalayan region, whereas for America five different datasets were identified. Only three of these are reviewed here, as the other two (SERENA, South America 30 m) are not available for download. The most ambitious project of all those reviewed is NALCMS, which coordinates the production of a LUC map for the whole of North America (Canada, Mexico, USA) at detailed scales (30–250 m) and using the same classification legend. It is the only dataset of all those reviewed that provides a time series of LUC maps (2005, 2010 and 2015). The Himalaya Regional Land Cover database is a vector-based map that provides information on LUC changes over the period 1970/80–2007 at a scale of 1:350,000. The other two American datasets—LBA-ECO LC-08 (1 km, 1987/91) and MERISAM2009 (300 m, 2008/10)—are raster-based and only available for one date, therefore making change detection impossible.

Kohonen Maps, aka. Self-organizing maps (SOMs) are neural networks that visualize a high-dimensional feature space on a low-dimensional map. While SOMs are an excellent tool for data examination and exploration, they inherently cause a loss of detail. Visualizations of the underlying data do not integrate well and, therefore, fail to provide an overall picture. Consequently, we suggest SOMson, an interactive sonification of the underlying data, as a data augmentation technique. The sonification increases the amount of information provided simultaneously by the SOM. Instead of a user study, we present an interactive online example, so readers can explore SOMson themselves. Its strengths, weaknesses, and prospects are discussed.

Land administration system in Slovakia is a large system. Many incomplete data and errors have been incorporated into its content since 1850. Most problems in the field of land administration system are solved by judicial proceedings, in which the expert testimony is required to reach the conclusion. The gathering of data about a particular land parcel consists of investigation of documents and maps. The investigation of map documents is very important for the whole process. The derivatives of these maps are stored in archives, cadastral offices, and other institutions. The availability of map sheets is also complicated by the fact, that not all of them have been digitized. An application has been created by the authors of this paper, by which the map sheets can be accessed. Projective photogrammetry method and Structure-from-Motion method were used to fill in the map sheets inventory. These methods provide a good readability of the map sheets, so they could be used by the experts. The application enables the ordering of the map sheets by the name of the map sheet, by the actual or historical name of the location and by the location of the physical map sheet storage. The contents of the inventory can be extended gradually with the digitized map sheets. This application providing the access to the map sheets inventory reflects the experts� requirements, who point out on the great time requirements of their activities in the field of the land administration systems for a long time. The solution proposed in this paper on a small group of map sheets could serve as an example for the facilitation of access to the map sheets from the whole territory of Slovakia for the experts.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to apply a Chebyshev polynomial approximation of the compressor map for dynamic modelling and control of centrifugal compressors. The results are compared to those from an approximation based on the third order polynomials and a compressor map derived from first principles. In the analysis of centrifugal compressors, a combination of dynamic conservation laws and static compressor map provides an insight into the surge phenomenon, whose avoidance remains one of the objectives of compressor control. The compressor maps based on the physical laws provide accurate results, but require a detailed knowledge about the properties of the system, such as the geometry of the compressor and gas quality. Third order polynomials are usually used as an approximation for the compressor map, providing simplified models at the expense of accuracy. Chebyshev polynomial approximation provides a trade-off between the accuracy of physical modelling with the ease of use provided by third order polynomial approximation.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is emerging as a multi-purpose technology with enormous potential for improving the quality of life in several areas. In particular, IoT has been applied in agriculture to make it more sustainable ecologically. For instance, electronic traps have the potential to perform pest control without any pesticide. In this paper, a smart trap with IoT capabilities that uses computer vision to identify the insect of interest is proposed. The solution includes 1) an embedded system with camera, GPS sensor and motor actuators; 2) an IoT middleware as database service provider, and 3) a Web application to present data by a configurable heat map. The demonstration of proposed solution is exposed and the main conclusions are the perception about pest concentration at the plantation and the viability as alternative pest control against traditional control based on pesticides.

<title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>The increasing application of sensors, actuators, and complex algorithms for delivering artificial intelligence and connectivity in products and product-systems will drive an unprecedented growth in design complexity and software content, making it increasingly more difficult to ensure dependability in an economical manner. Much learning about the dependability of such new and innovative products is likely to happen as they are conceived and designed. Consequently, accelerated verification and validation iterations supported by easy and rapid storage and retrieval of failure knowledge must be enabled. No single software solutions provider effectively covers all three critical areas required for developing and delivering dependable smart connected products, namely, reliability engineering, systems engineering, and failure knowledge management. This paper mainly presents a potential map of the commonly used reliability engineering tools overlaid on the systems engineering technical processes. The paper recommends including a formal knowledge storage and retrieval system in the closed-loop between systems engineering and reliability engineering so that the details observed in past failures are not missed in future design iterations.</p>

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, the authors present a technique for constructing probabilistic occupancy maps for unmanned rotorcraft. The mapping technique is Bayesian and assumes that a ranging sensor positioned on the rotorcraft is providing noisy target measurements in the presence of clutter. By running a multiple-model Kalman filter-based algorithm, all measurements are used to provide point-mass target state estimates and associated state covariances. Furthermore, the multiple-model algorithm provides probabilities that indicate whether each target is a true target or a false alarm. These three attributes of each target (the state, covariance, and true target probability) are used to build and update the occupancy map. The map is built upon a quadtree structure that allows for higher map resolution in occupied areas of the operating environment and quick access of obstacle locations. This aspect of a quadtree-structured map is particularly useful when transferring obstacle information to obstacle avoidance and route planning routines. The construction of occupancy maps resulting from this quadtree-based, probabilistic technique is demonstrated through simulations of a low-flying rotorcraft travelling through an urban landscape.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives. To assess the use, effectiveness, and implementation of telehealth-supported provider-to-provider communication and collaboration for the provision of healthcare services to rural populations and to inform a scientific workshop convened by the National Institutes of Health Office of Disease Prevention on October 12–14, 2021. Data sources. We conducted a comprehensive literature search of Ovid MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, Embase®, and Cochrane CENTRAL. We searched for articles published from January 1, 2015, to October 12, 2021, to identify data on use of rural provider-to-provider telehealth (Key Question 1) and the same databases for articles published January 1, 2010, to October 12, 2021, for studies of effectiveness and implementation (Key Questions 2 and 3) and to identify methodological weaknesses in the research (Key Question 4). Additional sources were identified through reference lists, stakeholder suggestions, and responses to a Federal Register notice. Review methods. Our methods followed the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Methods Guide (available at https://effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/topics/cer-methods-guide/overview) and the PRISMA reporting guidelines. We used predefined criteria and dual review of abstracts and full-text articles to identify research results on (1) regional or national use, (2) effectiveness, (3) barriers and facilitators to implementation, and (4) methodological weakness in studies of provider-to-provider telehealth for rural populations. We assessed the risk of bias of the effectiveness studies using criteria specific to the different study designs and evaluated strength of evidence (SOE) for studies of similar telehealth interventions with similar outcomes. We categorized barriers and facilitators to implementation using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) and summarized methodological weaknesses of studies. Results. We included 166 studies reported in 179 publications. Studies on the degree of uptake of provider-to-provider telehealth were limited to specific clinical uses (pharmacy, psychiatry, emergency care, and stroke management) in seven studies using national or regional surveys and claims data. They reported variability across States and regions, but increasing uptake over time. Ninety-seven studies (20 trials and 77 observational studies) evaluated the effectiveness of provider-to-provider telehealth in rural settings, finding that there may be similar rates of transfers and lengths of stay with telehealth for inpatient consultations; similar mortality rates for remote intensive care unit care; similar clinical outcomes and transfer rates for neonates; improvements in medication adherence and treatment response in outpatient care for depression; improvements in some clinical monitoring measures for diabetes with endocrinology or pharmacy outpatient consultations; similar mortality or time to treatment when used to support emergency assessment and management of stroke, heart attack, or chest pain at rural hospitals; and similar rates of appropriate versus inappropriate transfers of critical care and trauma patients with specialist telehealth consultations for rural emergency departments (SOE: low). Studies of telehealth for education and mentoring of rural healthcare providers may result in intended changes in provider behavior and increases in provider knowledge, confidence, and self-efficacy (SOE: low). Patient outcomes were not frequently reported for telehealth provider education, but two studies reported improvement (SOE: low). Evidence for telehealth interventions for other clinical uses and outcomes was insufficient. We identified 67 program evaluations and qualitative studies that identified barriers and facilitators to rural provider-to-provider telehealth. Success was linked to well-functioning technology; sufficient resources, including time, staff, leadership, and equipment; and adequate payment or reimbursement. Some considerations may be unique to implementation of provider-to-provider telehealth in rural areas. These include the need for consultants to better understand the rural context; regional initiatives that pool resources among rural organizations that may not be able to support telehealth individually; and programs that can support care for infrequent as well as frequent clinical situations in rural practices. An assessment of methodological weaknesses found that studies were limited by less rigorous study designs, small sample sizes, and lack of analyses that address risks for bias. A key weakness was that studies did not assess or attempt to adjust for the risk that temporal changes may impact the results in studies that compared outcomes before and after telehealth implementation. Conclusions. While the evidence base is limited, what is available suggests that telehealth supporting provider-to-provider communications and collaboration may be beneficial. Telehealth studies report better patient outcomes in some clinical scenarios (e.g., outpatient care for depression or diabetes, education/mentoring) where telehealth interventions increase access to expertise and high-quality care. In other applications (e.g., inpatient care, emergency care), telehealth results in patient outcomes that are similar to usual care, which may be interpreted as a benefit when the purpose of telehealth is to make equivalent services available locally to rural residents. Most barriers to implementation are common to practice change efforts. Methodological weaknesses stem from weaker study designs, such as before-after studies, and small numbers of participants. The rapid increase in the use of telehealth in response to the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is likely to produce more data and offer opportunities for more rigorous studies.

Bano, Masooda. The Missing Link: Low-Fee Private Tuition and Education Options for the Poor – The Demand-Side Dynamics in Pakistan. Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.35489/bsg-risewp_2022/113.
Full textAbstract:
Low-fee private schools are today recognised as important players in the education market in developing countries, as they are argued to provide at least marginally better education than is on offer in the state schools. Leading international development agencies have begun encouraging governments in developing countries to include them within the policy-planning process. Based on fieldwork in two urban neighbourhoods in Pakistan, this paper shows that low-income parents are keen to secure good-quality education for their children, but they have to choose not only between state schools and low-fee private schools but also from among an array of low-fee tuition providers in their immediate neighbourhood to ensure that the child can cope in class, complete daily homework assignments, and pass exams in order to transition to the next grade. The evidence presented in this paper suggests that whether their child is enrolled in a state school or in a low-fee private school, the parents’ dependence on low-fee tuition providers is absolute: without their services, the child will not progress through the primary grades. Yet the sector remains entirely under-researched. The paper argues for the need to map the scale of this sector, document the household spending on it, and bring it within policy debates, placing it alongside low-fee private schools and state schools in order to provide access to primary education to all and improve the quality of education. At the same time it complicates the existing debates on low-fee private schools, by showing that parents on very low incomes — in this case households where mothers are employed as domestic workers and fathers are in casual employment — find them inaccessible; it also shows that household spending on education needs to take into account not just the charges imposed by low-fee schools, but also the cost of securing religious education, which is equally valued by the parents and is not free, and also the cost of paying the low-fee tuition provider. When all these costs are taken into account, the concerns that low-fee private schools are not truly accessible to the poor gain further traction. The paper also shows that mothers end up bearing the primary burden, having to work to cover the costs of their children’s education, because the core income provided by the father can barely cover the household costs.

Gavillot, Yann G. Landslide inventory and slope map of Deer Lodge County, southwest Montana. Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology, 2025. https://doi.org/10.59691/hzhd5965.
Full textAbstract:
The Landslide Inventory and Slope Map identifies landslides that demonstrate evidence of gravity-driven movement based on lidar data, geomorphic and topographic analyses, satellite imagery, field checks, and, when available, published geologic maps. Landslides are classified based on the relative recency of surface movement. The slope map provides a preliminary tool to identify areas that may be susceptible to failure. This map is designed for use as a general planning tool to identify areas potentially hazardous to future mass movements.

Deutsch, Anne, and Steven Lutzky. Risk adjustment for home and community-based services quality measurement. RTI Press, 2025. https://doi.org/10.3768/rtipress.2025.pb.0030.2505.
Full textAbstract:
Home and community-based services are support services provided to persons with disabilities that enable them to live in the community. The growing demand for home and community-based services has led to an increase in efforts to measure the quality, including the effectiveness, of these services and supports in helping people to achieve their desired health and quality-of-life outcomes. Quality measures that focus on outcomes may need to be risk adjusted. This is because each provider serves a unique mix of persons with varying characteristics, and a provider’s case-mix can confound their outcomes. In this brief, we provide a nontechnical description of the purpose of risk adjustment in quality measurement and approaches to risk adjust data, including applying exclusion criteria, stratification, and the use of regression model results.

Full textAbstract:
As an initial screening to identify areas in Montana that may be appropriate for the MAR surface infiltration method, a suitability analysis was conducted using a geographic information system (GIS) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). Four hydrogeologic criteria were chosen for the suitability analysis: geology/aquifer, depth to groundwater, soil permeability, and topographic slope. The final suitability map is provided as a plate and as an interactive WebApp that identifies locations that appear hydrogeologically suitable for MAR surface infiltration methods.

Le, Trinh, and Thomas Benison. Do New Zealand home equity release schemes provide value for money? Motu Economic and Public Policy Research, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.29310/wp.2024.03.
Full textAbstract:
Home equity release refers to financial products that allow people to access the equity that is tied up in their own homes. Home equity is a large part of household wealth in New Zealand, making it an important asset that could potentially be used to fund retirement. However, the take-up of equity release products such as reverse mortgages is very low. This research examines whether home equity release schemes currently available in the New Zealand market provide value for money and how they might provide a suitable form of retirement income for some people. The available data confirm the existence of many households with low retirement income and high housing wealth, highlighting those who stand to potentially gain from home equity release. Assessments of the features and costs of current home release schemes, alongside worked examples using realistic values, highlight the scenarios when home equity release may (or may not) be beneficial. Depending on current circumstances and future financial needs, home equity release may be a suitable form of retirement income for some retirees but not for others.

Sava, Elena, Guido Cervone, and Alfred Kalyanapu. Multiscale observation product (MOP) for temporal flood inundation mapping of the 2015 Dallas Texas Flood. Engineer Research and Development Center (U.S.), 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.21079/11681/48713.
Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a new data fusion multiscale observation product (MOP) for flood emergencies. The MOP was created by integrating multiple sources of contributed open-source data with traditional spaceborne remote sensing imagery to provide a sequence of high spatial and temporal resolution flood inundation maps. The study focuses on the 2015 Memorial Day floods that caused up to US$61 million of damage. The Hydraulic Engineering Center River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) model was used to simulate water surfaces for the northern part of the Trinity River in Dallas, using reservoir surcharge releases and topographic data provided by the US Army Corps of Engineers. A measure of fit assessment is performed on the MOP flood maps with the HEC-RAS simulated flood inundation output to quantify spatial differences. Estimating possible flood inundation using individual datasets that vary spatially and temporally allow an understanding of how much each observational dataset contributes to the overall water estimation. Results show that water surfaces estimated by MOP are comparable with the simulated output for the duration of the flood event. Additionally, contributed data, such as Civil Air Patrol, although they may be geographically sparse, become an important data source when fused with other observation data.

Snyder, Claire, Christina T. Yuan, Renee F. Wilson, et al. Models of Care That Include Primary Care for Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer: A Realist Review. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.23970/ahrqepcrealistmodelsofcare.
Full textAbstract:
Objectives. We had two aims: (1) identify and analyze models of survivorship care for adult survivors of childhood cancer that include primary care, and (2) identify available tools, training, and other resources for adult survivors of childhood cancer. Methods. For each aim, we used realist synthesis to provide insights on how and for whom, in what contexts, and via what mechanisms the models of care and resources we identified can be effective for adult survivors of childhood cancer. We developed an initial program theory through searches of the literature and discussions with Stakeholders. We then identified and summarized quantitative evidence that supported or refuted the theory and developed specific hypotheses about how contexts and mechanisms may interact to produce outcomes (i.e., “CMO” hypotheses). The final program theory and CMO hypotheses were presented to Stakeholders for feedback. Results. Our final refined theory describes how, within the overall environment, survivor and provider characteristics and facilitators/barriers interact to produce intermediate and final outcomes. We focus on the role of models of care and resources (e.g., care plans) in these interactions. The program theory variables seen most consistently in the literature include oncology care versus primary care, survivor and provider knowledge (i.e., survivor risks and needs), provider comfort treating childhood cancer survivors, communication and coordination between and among providers and survivors, and delivery/receipt of prevention and surveillance of late effects of original cancer treatment. In turn, these variables played the most prominent role in the seven CMO hypotheses (4 focused on survivors and 3 focused on providers) regarding what works for whom and in what circumstances. Conclusions. To enable models of care that include primary care for adult survivors of childhood cancer, there needs to be communication of knowledge to both survivors and primary care providers. Our program theory provides guidance on the ways this knowledge could be shared, including the role of resources in doing so, and our CMO hypotheses suggest how the relationships illustrated in our theory could be associated with survivors living longer and feeling better through high-value care.
