Abstract:
Prevention of in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) is critical to reducing morbidity and mortality as both the rates of return to pre-hospital functional status and overall survival after IHCAs are low. Early identification of patients at risk and prompt clinical intervention are vital patient safety strategies to reduce IHCA. One widespread strategy is the Rapid Response System (RRS), which incorporates early risk identification, expert consultation, and key clinical interventions to bedside nurses caring for patients in clinical deterioration. However, evidence of RRS effectiveness has been equivocal in the patient safety literature. This study utilized a holistic Realistic Evaluation (RE) framework to identify important clinical environment (context) and system triggers (mechanisms) to refine our understanding of an RRS to improve local patient emoutcomesem and develop a foundation for building the next level of evidence within RE research. The specific aims of the study are to describe a RRS through context, mechanism, and outcome variables; explore differences in RRS outcomes between medical and surgical settings, and identify relationships between RRS context and mechanism variables for patient outcomes. Study RRS data was collected retrospectively from a 397-bed community hospital in the Midwest; including all adult inpatient RRS events from May 2006 (2 weeks post-RRS implementation) through November 2013. RRS events were analyzed through descriptive, comparative, and proportional odds (ordinal) logistic regression analyses. The study found the majority of adult inpatient RRS events occurred in medical settings and most were activated by staff nurses. Significant differences were noted between RRS events in medical and surgical settings; including patient status changes in the preceding 12 hours, event trigger patterns, and immediate clinical outcomes. Finally, proportional odds logistic regression revealed significant relationships between context and mechanism factors with changes in the risk of increased clinical severity immediately following at RRS event. RE was utilized to structure a preliminary study to explore the complex variables and relationships surrounding RRSs and patient outcomes. Further exploration of settings, changes in clinical status, staffing and resource access, and the ways nurses use RRSs is necessary to promote the early identification of vulnerable patients and strengthen hospital patient safety strategies.

The motivation for multi-echelon supply chain management at Nike is to more cost-effectively accommodate customer-facing lead time reduction in the rapid-response replenishment business model. Multi-echelon inventory management, as opposed to a traditional finished-goods only philosophy, provides two clear benefits to a make-to-stock supply chain: first, it increases flexibility through staging calculated work-in-process inventory buffers at critical supply chain links and allowing postponed identification of finished goods; second, inventories held as work-in- process are typically carried at lower cost than finished goods. This thesis details the completion of a project intended to improve Nike's ability to determine optimal inventory levels by balancing cost and service level tradeoffs in a multi-echelon-enabled environment. The goal is to develop an inventory modeling methodology for Nike's supply chain data architecture specifically to evaluate the hypothesis that multi-echelon inventory management will present only limited opportunity for cost reduction in offshore, long lead time make-to-stock supply chains. To directly asses the hypothesis, Llamasoft's Supply Chain Guru optimization software will be deployed to create an inventory optimization model for a specific family of apparel products sold as part of Nike's replenishment offering in North America. The modeling results confirm the hypothesis that multi-echelon inventory management offers little value to the current offshore supply chain. Sensitivity and scenario analysis is utilized to identify significant inventory drivers, areas for substantial improvement, and profitable opportunities for multi-echelon inventory management.

Abstract:
Rapid response systems (RRSs) have been developed and implemented with the aim of improving recognition of and response to deteriorating patients. However, there is little evidence to support the effectiveness of such systems. A recurring theme within the clinical literature is that these systems are not activated or used effectively by nursing staff and the reasons for this are not fully understood. The practices of nurses who used an RRS are explored in this thesis. Ward patients also appear to be more vulnerable to deterioration in the hosptial after-hours; in response to this, a number of patient safety initatives have been developed. One of these initiatives is an after-hours nurse-led RRS, a service run by Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs). To date, there has been limited exploration of the impact of this patient safety intiative on patient outcomes. Whether the introduction the APN after-hours service improved patient outcomes is also explored in this thesis. To develop in-depth knowledge and understanding of this contemporary and complex area of clinical practice, a single exploratory case study with two separate units of analysis was used. The context of the case was a large teaching hospital in Queensland; the case was the deteriorating ward patient. The first unit of analysis was nurse’s practices of using an RRS. The second unit of analysis was patient outcomes. In the first unit of analysis, 15 registered nurses who had cared for a deteriorating ward patient were interviewed about their practices of using an RRS and the resulting transcripts were thematically analysed. Four themes relating to participants experiences and perceptions of RRSs emerged from the data. These themes were: (1) sensing clinical deterioration; (2) resisting and hesitating; (3) pushing the button; and (4) reflecting on the Medical Emergency Team (MET).

Disaster relief operations, such as the 2005 Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, and wartime operations, such as Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom, have identified the need for a standardized command and control system interoperable among Joint, Coalition, and Interagency entities. The Systems Engineering Analysis Cohort 9 (SEA-9) Rapid Response Command and Control (R2C2) integrated project team completed a systems engineering (SE) process to address the military’s command and control capability gap. During the process, the R2C2 team conducted mission analysis, generated requirements, developed and modeled architectures, and analyzed and compared current operational systems versus the team’s R2C2 system. The R2C2 system provided a reachback capability to the Regional Combatant Commander’s (RCC) headquarters, a local communications network for situational assessments, and Internet access for civilian counterparts participating in Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief operations. Because the team designed the R2C2 system to be modular, analysis concluded that the R2C2 system was the preferred method to provide the RCC with the required flexibility and scalability to deliver a rapidly deployable command and control capability to perform the range of military operations.

The MIT/Draper Technology Development Partnership Project is a two year initiative between MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Draper Laboratory (the funding customer) to develop an innovative, first-of-a-kind system. Through in-depth market research. concept generation. and reviews with Draper. the Wide Area Surveillance Projectile (WASP) was chosen as the lead technology demonstration project. The WASP is a gun-launched projectile in the 5"/54 NAVY to 155 mm ARMY class of munitions that transforms into a powered flight vehicle after traveling a ballistic trajectory. Once transformed, the WASP performs visual imaging reconnaissance and relays field data to the user via a Satcom or UAV signal link. This thesis covers much of the work conducted in the first year of the program. and focuses on Ballistics and aerodeceleration. Structures, and Systems Interface Design of the WASP. Although the two year timeline for the program precludes building the complete system, a series of "long-poles" are being used to demonstrate the concept functionality and feasibility for possible prototype development. These long-poles include the development of high-g composite structures, deployable flight surfaces. and a two-stroke propulsion system. as well as a virtual ground station with sensors/communications subsystems. and finally a drop-test flyer that will perform the vehicles intended mission scenario.

Full text
Abstract:
Fluvial adjustment to base level change has its roots in the fundamental concepts of geomorphology. This thesis explores the rate of erosion and sedimentation on the Colorado and Dirty Devil rivers and North Wash Creek under the current base level changes related to the drawdown conditions of Lake Powell. Through cross section and long profile resurveys, the current state of each system is captured and added to the historic record of sedimentation in Lake Powell. All three systems are generally forming narrow and deep incised channels driven by the rapid rate of base level fall. Cross sections that deviate from this are due to site-specific factors, such as channel armoring, the presence of local base levels, or bedrock canyon width in relation to active channel width. In all systems, sediment is being transported through the establishing fluvial regime and is deposited at or below the new base level. This has caused rapid downstream progradation of each delta front. The volume of sediment accumulation and erosion and rates through time are calculated for each system. Deposit volume is proportional to each systems drainage basin area, as are the rates and magnitudes of deposition and erosion. The percentage of sediment eroded versus deposited shows an inverse relationship, with North Wash eroding the greatest percentage of its delta. Field observations and repeat photography on the distribution, orientation, and activity of lateral slumping and mud cracks identify that thick beds of fine-grained and cohesive silts and clays are necessary for these features to form. These features act to destabilize sediment and, in the case of bank failure, deliver it directly to the channel.

The Rapid-Response Surveillance System (also known as WASP or Wide Area Surveillance Projectile) was developed within the context of the MIT/Draper Technology Development Partnership Project, which had as its aims the development of a first-of-a-kind system within a time-frame of two years and the development of an entrepreneurial spirit in the participating engineering students at MIT. After some studies, the final concept consisted of a integrated shell-flier system, known as the Super-Shell. After being launched from a standard Army or Navy gun, the shell would deploy a parachute during the ballistic trajectory, to de-spin and slow down. Aerodynamic surfaces (wings and tails) would deploy out of the shell, and the flier would conduct a 15-minute surveillance mission, recording images with a visual sensor, and sending them back to a ground station. In the aerodynamic analysis and modeling, this report shows the trade studies performed in selecting the best aerodynamic configuration in terms of performance and stability. The propulsion system selection is an integral part of the aerodynamic performance, and a propeller driven by an electric motor was selected. In the static and dynamic stability analysis, the aerodynamic configuration was modeled and analyzed using existing software, to provide sufficient control for a flexible mission.

Abstract:
Akutsjuksköterskans roll är att tillhandahålla omedelbar vård till människor eller att utföra en omvårdnadsåtgärd som kan förhindra att en nödsituation uppstår. Akutsjuksköterskan ska leda, initiera och samordna patientvården. Faktorer som påverkar patientsäkerheten är ledarskapet, att arbeta i team, att arbeta evidensbaserat, kommunikation, utbildning och att arbeta patientcentrerat. Rapid response system (RRS) utvecklades för att förbättra patientsäkerheten inom akutsjukvården. Det finns fyra enheter som är grundläggande för systemet. Den afferenta komponenten som omfattar av sjuksköterskan som ansvarar för identifiering av varningssignaler för kritiskt sjuka patienter och aktivering av RRS. Till sin hjälp har sjuksköterskan ett track- and triggersystem som baseras på patientens vitalparametrar för att identifiera kritiskt sjuka patienter på avdelning. De vanligaste förekommande vitalparametrarna inom akutsjukvården är: respiration, temperatur, blodtryck, hjärtfrekvens, medvetandegrad samt urinproduktion. Den efferenta komponenten är den hjälpinsats som den afferenta komponenten tillkallar vid aktivering av RRS när avvikande vitalparametrar är observerade och genererar hög poängsumma i ett track- and triggersystem alternativt på inrådan av sjuksköterskans instinktiva känsla av att patientens tillstånd försämrats. Syftet var att belysa sjuksköterskans upplevelser av att arbeta utefter ett rapid response system och belysa dess påverkan på patientsäkerheten. Metoden som användes var litteraturöversikt. Databassökningar gjordes i PubMed, CINAHL och Web Of Science, vilket resulterade i att 16 artiklar inkluderades i studien. Inklusionskriterier som användes var att artikeln skulle vara publicerad på engelska, ’peer- reviewed’ och publicerade i vetenskapliga tidskrifter mellan år 2006–2016. En integrerad analysmetod användes för att finna likheter och skillnader i resultatet. I resultatet framkom det att RRS ökade identifieringen av kritiskt sjuka patienter och flertalet artiklar konstaterade att RRS minskade antalet hjärtstopp och oväntade dödsfall. I resultatet framkom svårigheter och begränsningar med att arbeta utefter RRS så som otillräcklig kompetens, hög arbetsbelastning och hierarki. Avvikande vitalparametrar togs mer på allvar jämfört med ”tysta” förändringar. Sjuksköterskorna aktiverade systemet på grund av oro relaterat till klinisk erfarenhet, trots att vitalparametrarna var normala RRS var till hjälp att hantera kritiskt sjuka patienter och fungerade som sjukhusets 112. Avdelningssjuksköterskorna upplevde att de mestadels fick stöttning av det medicinska akutvårdsteamet men tillfällen då sjuksköterskan upplevde otrevligt bemötande påverkade det beslutsfattandet av aktivering av RRS negativt framöver. Slutsatsen av denna litteraturöversikt tyder på att RRS främjar patientsäkerheten och hjälper sjuksköterskan i sitt dagliga arbete genom att främja säker vård. Sjuksköterskans upplevelser belyser gynnsamma omständigheter och upplevda svårigheter med RRS som kan användas till vidare forskning för att utveckla systemet.
The role of the emergency nurse is to provide immediate care to patients or to perform a nursing intervention that can prevent an emergency. They should lead, initiate and coordinate patient care. Factors that affect patient safety could be leadership, working in teams, evidence-based work, communication, training, or patient-centered work. Rapid response system (RRS) was developed to improve patient safety in emergency care. There are four units that are essential for the system to function. The afferent component includes the nurse who is responsible to identify warning signs if the patient is deteriorating and activate RRS. A track-and trigger system based on the patient’s vital signs is used to assist the nurse to identify deteriorating patients on wards. The most common vital signs in emergency care are: respiration, temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, consciousness and urine production. The efferent component is the relief effort that the afferent component calls for by activating RRS when abnormal vital signs are observed and generate a high score in the track-and trigger system. Alternatively, on the advice of the nurse's instinctive feeling that the patient's condition has deteriorated. The aim of this study was to highlight nurses' experiences of applying rapid response system in their work and illustrate its impact on patient safety. The method used was a literature review. Database searches were made in PubMed, CINAHL and Web of Science, which resulted in 16 articles being included in the study. Inclusion criteria used were English language, ’peer-reviewed’ and published in scientific journals between the years 2006-2016. An integrated analysis was used to find similarities and differences in the results. The result showed that RRS increased identification of critically ill patients, resulting in reduced number of cardiac arrests and unexpected deaths and led to more patients being moved to a higher level of care. Difficulties or limitations that emerged were inadequate skills, high workload and hierarchy. Abnormal vital signs were taken more seriously compared to "silent" changes. The nurses sometimes activated the system due to concerns based on their clinical experience, despite vital signs being normal. RRS was a help to manage critically ill patients and served as the hospital's Department 112. The emergency medical team mostly supported the nurses, but sometimes they experienced negative attitudes, which affected the future activations negatively. The conclusion of this literature review indicates that RRS for patient safety could help nurses in their daily work by promoting safe care. The nurse's experiences highlight the favorable circumstances and perceived difficulties with the RRS, which could be used for further research to develop the system.

The MIT/Draper Technology Development Partnership Project was conceived as a collaborative design and development program between MIT and Draper Laboratory. The overall aims of the two year project were to strengthen ties between the two institutions, to provide students with an opportunity to develop a first-of-a-kind system, and to foster a sense of entrepreneurship in the students working on the project. This first design team consisted of a mix of Master of Engineering and Master of Science students, along with undergraduate research assistants. The team began its work by reviewing the needs of the nation and the capabilities possessed by MIT and Draper which could be leveraged to address those needs. Candidate projects were then developed, and several were further refined through brief market assessments. Based on these assessments, a final project was chosen. The selected project, the Wide Area Surveillance Projectile (WASP), called for the development of a small, unmanned aerial vehicle which could be launched from an artillery gun to provide a rapid-response, time-critical reconnaissance capability for small military units or selected civilian applications. This thesis reviews the first year of work completed on the project. A systems view is used throughout, describing the top-level trades which were made to develop a product which would meet all of the user's needs. Specific attention is given to the interactions between the various subsystems and how these interactions contributed to the design solution developed by the team. In addition to this chronological description of the project, management lessons learned from the author's experience as project manager are presented, along with recommended approaches for future projects of a similar nature. These lessons may also find applications in the broader realm of rapid-prototyping engineering projects, as well as future projects undertaken as part of the MIT/Draper Technology Development Partnership Project.

Abstract:
This book investigates the aesthetic and conceptual characteristics of fifteenth-century female portraiture on panel. Portraits of women increased substantially during this century. They formed part of a material and a visual culture borne out of the rapid rise of an oligarchy from entrepreneurial activities that was especially advanced in the urbanised territories of Italy and Flanders. For this reason, the portraits in this book are by Netherlandish and Italian painters. They are simultaneously illustrative of the emancipation of the genre from its medieval idiom, and of the responses to the matrix of patriarchy, under which society was organised. Patriarchy is an androcentric structure that places women in a paradoxical situation of legal and social disenfranchisement on the account of purported psychophysical inadequacy, whilst making them the catalysts, through arranged marriages, for the success of the spheres of power, which are controlled by men. Thus, these portraits are also a window into women’s lives in this structure. This book is the first systematic study of their sign-system and of the feminine experience of seeing and being seen, at the intersection of disciplines that include art history, anthropology, legal history, philosophy. The surprising results suggest new interpretations of form and function in female portraiture, women’s active role in the imaging process and the early instances of a pro-women ideology.

Abstract:
Rapid-response systems were created to improve recognition of and response to deterioration of hospitalized patients, with the goal of reducing the incidence of cardiorespiratory arrest and hospital mortality. A rapid-response system consists of providers who immediately assess and treat unstable patients. Examples include medical emergency teams and rapid response teams. Preliminary evidence of improvements in patient outcomes led to widespread utilization of rapid response systems.

Doo, Johnny. Unsettled Issues Concerning eVTOL for Rapid-response, On-demand Firefighting. SAE International, August 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/epr2021017.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent advancements of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft have generated significant interest within and beyond the traditional aviation industry, and many novel applications have been identified and are in development. One promising application for these innovative systems is in firefighting, with eVTOL aircraft complementing current firefighting capabilities to help save lives and reduce fire-induced damages. With increased global occurrences and scales of wildfires—not to mention the issues firefighters face during urban and rural firefighting operations daily—eVTOL technology could offer timely, on-demand, and potentially cost-effective aerial mobility capabilities to counter these challenges. Early detection and suppression of wildfires could prevent many fires from becoming large-scale disasters. eVTOL aircraft may not have the capacity of larger aerial assets for firefighting, but targeted suppression, potentially in swarm operations, could be valuable. Most importantly, on-demand aerial extraction of firefighters can be a crucial benefit during wildfire control operations. Aerial firefighter dispatch from local fire stations or vertiports can result in more effective operations, and targeted aerial fire suppression and civilian extraction from high-rise buildings could enhance capabilities significantly. There are some challenges that need to be addressed before the identified capabilities and benefits are realized at scale, including the development of firefighting-specific eVTOL vehicles; sense and avoid capabilities in complex, smoke-inhibited environments; autonomous and remote operating capabilities; charging system compatibility and availability; operator and controller training; dynamic airspace management; and vehicle/fleet logistics and support. Acceptance from both the first-responder community and the general public is also critical for the successful implementation of these new capabilities. The purpose of this report is to identify the benefits and challenges of implementation, as well as some of the potential solutions. Based on the rapid development progress of eVTOL aircraft and infrastructures with proactive community engagement, it is envisioned that these challenges can be addressed soon. NOTE: SAE EDGE™ Research Reports are intended to identify and illuminate key issues in emerging, but still unsettled, technologies of interest to the mobility industry. The goal of SAE EDGE™ Research Reports is to stimulate discussion and work in the hope of promoting and speeding resolution of identified issues. These reports are not intended to resolve the challenges they identify or close any topic to further scrutiny.

Full text
Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the vulnerabilities and inequalities of national education systems and hindered the education of millions of children globally. In response, the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Centre, which is a long-term, strategic partnership between the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), undertook a rapid review of literature to support policymakers. The research has six evidence-based outcomes that can help policymakers to build resilient education systems and thereby enhance education quality and equity during emergencies. The COVID-19 emergency provided the impetus for this research, with much of the reported data associated with this pandemic. Learnings from past education in emergencies situations have informed the understandings of the impacts and implications of the COVID-19 emergency, and have been synthesised with the COVID-19 literature to inform policymakers about how to build resilient education systems. This report presents evidence relating to two main types of emergencies affecting education: natural disasters and communicable disease, and political conflicts. Both types of emergencies can also coalesce within the same education system, resulting in complex and often protracted emergencies. This review found that emergencies impact education in two main ways: endangering children’s wellbeing, and exacerbating unequal learning outcomes.

Abstract:
While there are multiple discussions regarding what HSS is, the most popular and cited definition is that of the World Health Organization (WHO). It says: “HSS is the process of identifying and implementing the changes in policy and practice in a country’s health system, so that the country can respond better to its health and health system challenges. Additionally, it is also an array of initiatives and strategies that improves one or more of the functions of the health system and that leads to better health through improvements in access, coverage, quality, or efficiency” (WHO, 2019, p. 11). Scope of this rapid review: The aim of this rapid review is to provide a rapid synthesis of the different frameworks and approaches that have been designed and proposed for HSS. The synthesis includes frameworks conceptualised by international development and health agencies as well as those proposed by individual researchers and smaller organisations. While there are multiple frameworks, many of these frameworks build upon the WHO (2007) HSS framework and adapt this as per their needs and perspectives. Furthermore, considering the shake-up of health systems due to the COVID 19 pandemic, this review also includes frameworks which have reconceptualised HSS in response to the pandemic’s impact on health systems. Key findings: The rapid review found that a multitude of HSS frameworks exist in the public health literature. Some of these frameworks are modified from the WHO (2007) building blocks frameworks or use this framework as a basic conceptual foundation to propose new frameworks. Furthermore, there is some conflation of health systems frameworks and HSS frameworks in the literature. This review, however, has focused specifically on HSS frameworks. Evidence base: The frameworks and approaches were extracted from agency documents, journal articles and grey literature.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to affect agri-food systems around the world and lay bare its fragility, worsening the welfare of millions of smallholder farmers whose livelihoods are anchored on agricultural activities. For the vast majority of sub-Saharan Africa, COVID-19 has coincided with a number of other macroeconomic shocks, which have also exacerbated the impacts of the pandemic on food security, nutrition and general livelihoods, as well curtailed policy responses and mitigation strategies. In Zimbabwe, the COVID-19 pandemic struck at a time the country was experiencing a worsening economic and humanitarian situation. This study focused more on community and household dynamics and response measures to cope with the pandemic. This paper presents a summary of findings emerging from a series of rapid assessment studies undertaken by the Agricultural Policy Research in Africa (APRA) Programme in Mvurwi and Concession areas of Mazowe District in Zimbabwe to examine how COVID-19 is affecting food systems and rural livelihoods in our research communities.

Full text
Abstract:
COVID-19 has exposed the widespread failure to invest in strong and universal public health systems, putting millions of lives at risk and dramatically widening health inequalities. Oxfam analysed the World Bank’s emergency health funding to 71 countries in response to the pandemic. While its response has been rapid and significant, Oxfam finds that the World Bank has missed vital opportunities to strengthen public health systems so they can tackle COVID-19 and deliver health for all in the future. The research outlined in this briefing finds that 89% of World Bank projects do not plan to support any action to remove financial barriers, including user fees, that exclude millions from life-saving care; and two-thirds lack any plans to increase the number of healthcare workers. An urgent course correction is needed to help countries effectively fight the pandemic and build fairer, more resilient universal healthcare systems.
