Full textAbstract:
Written in the year of Romania’s centennial anniversary as a national state, this paper intends to offer a panorama of the monodic music of Byzantine tradition of the period, composed by the Romanian chanters. Although the entire twentieth century was characterized by the harmonization of the already established church chants, the musical works written in neumatic notation specific to the Orthodox Church continue to exist, albeit discontinuously. Based on the political changes that occurred in the Romanian society, three distinct periods of psaltic music creation can be distinguished: a. 1918-1947; b.1948-1989; c.1990-2018. The first period coincides with the last stage of the process of “Romanianization” of church chants. The second one corresponds to the communist period and is marked by the Communist Party’s decisions regarding the Church, namely the attempt to standardise the church chants. After 1990, psaltic music regains its position and the compositions of the last two decades enrich its repertoire with new collections of chants. Thus, we can see that in the course of a century marked by political turmoil and changes, psaltic composition went on a hiatus in the first decades of the totalitarian regime, to gradually resurge after 1980, enriched with numerous works bearing a distinct Romanian stamp.

Full textAbstract:
The alleluia was the last proper chant of the Mass to be standardized. Through the twelfth century and beyond, different churches assigned different alleluias to the same Masses, and the composition of new alleluia chants flourished throughout the latter Middle Ages. The Masses from Easter to the octave of Pentecost witness this. A collation of ca. 200 manuscripts demonstrates that identical series of chants are to be found only in sources emanating from the same church (or churches in the same city). Most of the alleluia chants from the eleventh century onward have New Testament or non-scriptural texts, as opposed to the psalmic texts of the earlier post-Pentecostal alleluias. The musical style is varied, ranging from the richly melismatic manner traditionally associated with the alleluia to much more modest melodies with few or no large melismas. A number of the latter can be associated with the reforms of Guillaume de Volpiano at Dijon and in Normandy in the years after 1000.

Climate change poses significant health risks. Nurses assess, treat, and educate patients about health risks. However, nurses' level of awareness, motivation, and behaviors related to climate change and health is not known. This study developed and tested a novel tool measuring these elements. Three hundred fifty-seven nurses responded to the overall survey. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) assessed the factor structure of the 22-item CHANT survey and Cronbach's alpha estimated internal consistency. A five-factor model was retained through the EFA, demonstrating good model fit (comparative fit index [CFI] = .95, root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = .04, standardized root mean square residual [SRMR] = .09), and items were internally consistent (Cronbach's alpha for each subscale >.70). CHANT has been developed and psychometrically examined and is ready for further use and study.

Full textAbstract:
Mass in the Catholic Church consists of the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The Communion Antiphon is a song that is sung while receiving Communion, the most important moment in the Eucharistic liturgy. The proper text of the Communion Antiphon reminds us of the key words of the Liturgy of the Word that day. However, at present, the proper text of the Communion Antiphon remains as a sentence, and instead, the Communion song for common times is sung. The limited classification of hymnals and the standardized selection of songs made songs with proper texts hidden. The purpose of this study is to actively help believers sing joyfully, reflecting on the message of the Word of the day by selecting a chant suitable for the proper text of the Communion Antiphon in the liturgy of the Mass. The scope of the study is the proper text of the Communion Antiphon during Lent. The research method is to analyze and utilize the sources of the 11 Communion Antiphons of the Gregorian chant in the 『Graduale Triplex』 and select appropriate songs from the 『Catholic Chant』. Among 『Catholic chant』, 8 songs that matched the proper text were selected. In addition, 15 related songs were selected, such as the lyrics of the proper text, the same liturgical meaning, and the words of the psalms in the Communion. The sources of the Communion Antiphons during Lent are 9 Gospels and 2 Psalms. Looking at the source of the word until the time of resurrection, 1 first reading and 2 second readings are included. The organic relationship between the various sources of the proper text and the liturgical text gave elasticity to the scope of application. One of the four new proper text was changed from the psalms to the gospel, and three songs were changed within the gospel, all of which developed into more specific and active gospel messages. As a result of the research, there were far more songs suitable for the proper text than expected. The richness of the Catholic Hymnal, which was made with the devotion of many people over a long period of time, was revealed. In order to further reveal the true value of Catholic hymnal, it is necessary to supplement the classification of hymnal and the information on the sources of words in more detail. In addition, if we refrain from a uniform selection of songs and select songs based on liturgical texts, the light of the Word and the joy of praise will be doubled. This is because the essence of liturgical chant lies in the Words and prayers. Therefore, the meticulous use of Catholic hymnal is a way to faithfully follow both the spirit of the <Gregorian Chant>, which is entirely centered on the Word, and the <Liturgical Charter>, which focuses on congregational praise. As a follow-up work, I plan to select songs that make use of the proper text of the Communion Antiphons of all liturgical seasons. It is hoped that this study will awaken the importance of the proper text and selection of the Communion Antiphon, and that the proper texts of the Communion Antiphon, which are not found in the Catholic hymnal, will be born as an easy and gracious chant for the congregation.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This study surveys the musical notation appearing in the liturgical manuscripts of the Order of St. Paul the First Hermit from the fourteenth until the eighteenth century. As a Hungarian foundation, the Pauline Order adopted one of the most elaborate and proportionate Gregorian chant notations of the medieval Catholic Church, the mature calligraphic Hungarian/Esztergom style, and used it faithfully, but in a special eremitical way in its liturgical manuscripts over an exceptionally long period, far beyond the Middle Ages. The research sought to study all the Pauline liturgical codices and codex fragments in which this Esztergom-Pauline notation emerges, then record the single neume shapes and supplementary signs of each source in a database. Systematic comparison has produced many results. On the one hand, it revealed the chronological developments of the Pauline notation over about four centuries. On the other hand, it has been possible to differentiate notation variants, to separate a rounded-flexible and a later more angular, standardized Pauline writing form based on the sources, thereby grasping the transition to Gothic penmanship at the turn of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. A further result of the study is the discovery of some retrospective Pauline notation types connected to the Early Modern and Baroque period, after the Tridentine Council. The characteristics of the notations of the choir books in the Croatian and the Hungarian Pauline provinces have been well defined and some individual subtypes distinguished – e.g. a writing variant of the centre of the Croatian Pauline province, Lepoglava.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – Constructing a fuzzy control chart with interval-valued fuzzy data is an important topic in the fields of medical, sociological, economics, service and management. In particular, when the data illustrates uncertainty, inconsistency and is incomplete which is often the. case of real data. Traditionally, we use variable control chart to detect the process shift with real value. However, when the real data is composed of interval-valued fuzzy, it is not feasible to use such an approach of traditional statistical process control (SPC) to monitor the fuzzy control chart. The purpose of this paper is to propose the designed standardized fuzzy control chart for interval-valued fuzzy data set. Design/methodology/approach – The general statistical principles used on the standardized control chart are applied to fuzzy control chart for interval-valued fuzzy data. Findings – When the real data is composed of interval-valued fuzzy, it is not feasible to use such an approach of traditional SPC to monitor the fuzzy control chart. This study proposes the designed standardized fuzzy control chart for interval-valued fuzzy data set of vegetable price from January 2009 to September 2010 in Taiwan obtained from Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan. Empirical studies are used to illustrate the application for designing standardized fuzzy control chart. More related practical phenomena can be explained by this appropriate definition of fuzzy control chart. Originality/value – This paper uses a simpler approach to construct the standardized interval-valued chart for fuzzy data based on traditional standardized control chart which is easy and straightforward. Moreover, the control limit of the designed standardized fuzzy control chart is an interval with (LCL, UCL), which consists of the conventional range of classical standardized control chart.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUND: A number of charts based on checking reading parameters are increasingly being used to assess visual functions. These charts are standardized, translated into many languages. The development of a Russian chart based on international standards and the determination of age norms of clinical reading parameters will allow it to be used for a more accurate assessment of the dynamics of diseases and treatment results.
 AIM: The aim is to determine the normal reading parameters in patients of different age groups.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: Based on international standards, two Russian charts have been developed to study reading parameters. Reading parameters were determined during one session in 135 subjects, divided into 3 groups: I — 18–39 years, II — 40–59 years, and III — 60–81 years. Three main parameters were studied: maximum reading speed, critical print size, and reading acuity (RA).
 RESULTS: As a result of the study, age norms for basic reading parameters were determined. Maximum reading speed in group I was 192.5 ± 1.2, in group II — 180.6 ± 1.1 and in group III — 168.9 ± 0.8 words/min. Critical print size in group I was 0.14 ± 0.01, in group II — 0.24 ± 0.01, and in group III — 0.36 ± 0.01 logMAR. The reading acuity in group I was 0.009 ± 0.006, in group II — 0.075 ± 0.04, in group III — 0.143 ± 0.005 logMAR. The differences between the studied parameters in groups I/II, I/III and II/III were statistically significant (p 0.05).
 CONCLUSIONS: The indicators of reading parameters obtained during the study can be used as approximate age norms.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1988 / Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada<br>Digital-based linear-array chart recorders are replacing conventional stylus recorders in telemetry data stations everywhere. They offer advantages in virtually all respects, and are becoming indispensable. But because of the completely different writing method and technology employed, it is difficult to make completely analogous performance comparisons between analog and digital chart recorders. This has led to some confusion when replacing aging stylus recorders is contemplated. Objectives: Establish a set of universal, standardized performance characteristics for digital chart recorders. Introduce appropriate terminology, allowing valid, repeatable comparison of old and new systems.

碩士<br>慈濟大學<br>醫學資訊學系碩士班<br>101<br>Clinical Medicine used a lot of information systems, such us Report Information System (RIS) 、Case Management Systems、 examination system……etc. However, there do not have standard mechanism for exchanging data across systems. The clinical data usually isolated in clinical systems and the data only can be used in the original systems generate the data. Therefore, this research plans to develop an e-chart system to generated standardized clinical data. This system refers IHE (Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) QRPH standard、Health Level 7 V2、National Health of the People's Republic of China to establish standard code and data mapping. Basing on the mapping this research establishes standard templates for collecting data in cancer diagnosis and therapy. This study used HTML and JavaScript the label relations to build standard forms. Basing on this study, the result data created by the e-chart system can be saved as the XML (eXtensible Markup Language) format. And we design a database structure to save all the XML data results. With the standard mapping the XML data could be reused by other e-charts for cancer diagnosis and therapy. This can reduce the overhead for clinicians to collect the data and avoid data input error.

Full textAbstract:
Music both influences and reflects the times in which it was created. In the Middle Ages, the previous Dark Ages, the Crusades, and the feudal system all impacted the types and forms of music in the period. Charlemagne standardized the church mass and promoted the Gregorian chant, to the point of threatening excommunication if any other were performed. Musical notation — the staff line — was developed during the period. The troubadours of France, Meistersingers of Germany, the Cantus Firmus of Italy, and the instruments that played the music are all included in this thorough guide to music of the middle ages. Topics include: the British Isles, Dance Music, Eastern Europe, France, Germanic Lands, Harps, Italy, the Low Countries, Spain, and more.

Overactive bladder (OAB) is very prevalent and may be very bothersome. In this chapter, we describe the various definitions associated with this condition, its assessment and management. The definitions for lower urinary tract symptoms have been standardized by the International Continence Society. OAB is a symptomatic diagnosis after all other pathology has been excluded. Important assessments include a frequency volume chart and in some cases urodynamic studies. Here we describe the important parameters which should be sought from a frequency volume chart. In addition, the relationship to the urodynamic diagnosis provided by a cystometry study is explained. Thereafter we discuss the therapeutic options for OAB which include conservative measures, antimuscarinics, beta-3 agonists, intravesical botulinum toxin, neuromodulation, and surgery. The various management options including lifestyle changes, alpha antagonists, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, antimuscarinics, desmopressin and surgery are also described.

‘Mechanical Ventilation Modes’ seeks to shed light on this hotly debated topic, one that is complicated by ventilator manufacturers’ non-standardized terminology. The chapter looks at conventional modes, adaptive modes, and biphasic modes, which it classifies based on the mechanical breath types in each mode. It includes a comparison chart of the terminology used for common modes on popular IPPV ventilators. Using their signature waveforms, the author describes the assist/control, SIMV, and pressure support ventilation or PSV modes. It defines the modes by their application of spontaneous breaths and mandatory breaths. It continues with a discussion of adaptive modes and biphasic modes. It ends by discussing how to select the appropriate ventilation mode.

Mythographic texts in the imperial age treat space as discontinuous. This is contrary to our modern idea of space, which is tied intimately to cartographical norms. In modern maps, each geographical entity is situated relative to others, obeys calculations of breadth and length, and respects proportionality rules. The space maps depict is full and continuous, standardized and precisely referenced. Space in imperial mythographic texts obeys other standards: it is a series of backdrops, made up of panels, each isolated from the next; space exists primarily to accommodate the deeds of heroes. Mythographic paragraphs chart an autonomous space which floats in a void, undefined by relationships to other enunciative spaces. Toponyms are used as cultural clusters around which a series of references are organized. Space in these texts is a cultural repertoire, emblematic of paideia, a common corpus of names, a shared landscape, before it is a geographical entity.

«We are being stunted by a form of critical illiteracy», state Tierney, Smith and Kan, and «our global scholarship is facing a crisis of similar proportion to that of climate change […] because we are insufficiently ‘reading the world’, in the Freirean sense — acting as if we can and should be monolingual in a world that is multilingual» (Tierney et al. 2021, 305). This chapter will briefly chart the history of formal literacy education and describe the scope of the field of research and practice today that encompasses both standardised models of reading and writing text as well as more expansive models of meaning making across many sign systems. We relate the current standardised and universal model of functional literacy to a colonial past whereby systems designed for the benefit of the urban global north were imposed upon other contexts to ensure their expansion of power and economic advantage. Pluriversality is a concept that emerges from a decolonial movement of thought that provides a counternarrative to contemporary Northern assumptions of the universal and, in Escobar’s words, to «the hegemony of modernity’s one-world ontology» (2018, 4). This chapter provides a conceptual framework of pluriversal literacies in education inclusive of, but exceeding, the literacy of print. To illustrate the opportunities of a pluriversal literacies model in education, we provide a case study of land literacy practices in agricultural education in Patía, Colombia.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter will discuss the apparent move away from the specificity of the context of application to the universality and interdependence of global education metrics: instead of the production of contextual knowledge, quantification in transnational governance has led to the production of expertise that is thoroughly standardised, de-contextualised, interdependent and even, as we shall see—at times—universal. The chapter will focus on two empirical examples of international organisations that saw their status as knowledge producers and expert brokers rise over the last 20 years: these are the OECD, and its collaboration with the European Commission, as well as the UNESCO Institute of Statistics with its coordination of the SDG4. Through an analytical account of these organisations’ key measurement exercises, the chapter will chart two key developments towards the production of decontextualised governing knowledge: these are the rise of interdependence of IOs in the production of expertise; secondly, the production of universal narratives of education progress and unity. Through concrete empirical examples, the chapter will show how the production of new global expert knowledge does not only contribute to performance measurement; rather, through discourse analysis of a range of policy documents as well as interviews with key policy actors, the chapter will show that monitoring frameworks, such as the Sustainable Development Goals, have the ambition and scope to construct universal knowledge to guide governance globally.

Chart checking is a time intensive process with high cognitive workload for physicists. Previous studies have partially automated and standardized chart checking, but limited studies implement data-driven approaches to reduce cognitive workload for quality assurance processes. This study aims to evaluate feature selection methods to improve the interpretability and transparency of machine learning models in predicting the degree of difficulty for a pretreatment physics chart check. We compare chi-square, mutual information, feature importance thresholding, and greedy feature selection for four different classifiers. Random forest has the highest performance with SMOTE oversampling using mutual information for feature selection (accuracy 84.0%, AUC 87.0%, precision 80.0%, recall 80.0%). This study demonstrates that feature selection methods can improve model interpretability and transparency.

Quality assurance has become key concerns in healthcare and it is important to standardize the processes for healthcare properly. Though it was needed to describe process of healthcare diagnosis and treatment, it was very difficult by the reason of being service products including complexity and expertise. We challenged to visible, structurize, standardize and IT-systematize of clinical knowledge for healthcare quality management. The patient condition adaptive path system (PCAPS) was developed. PCAPS describes an overall flow of possible clinical pathways that a patient's disease state may trace and detailed medical judgment and treatments for each disease state. It suggests possibility of quality assurance using the standard plan of medical treatment process. PCAPS comprises two major tools: clinical process chart and unit sheet. These describe the total flow of treatment and the concrete medical treatments involved in each step. The PCAPS master is proposed. This is a glossary of the terms that are used in the unit sheet. Each master file has special structure for each work domain. In other words, PCAPS describes the standard process of healthcare using the clinical process chart, unit sheet, and PCAPS master. We apply nursing master file for nursing care action and observation offered by MEDIS-DC in Japan. Through we developed many PCAPS contents, we identified description of structured nursing knowledge. The nursing master file was brushed up by designing PCAPS content using it. It was suggested that PCAPS contents as standard clinical plan designed by medical specialist team included nursing knowledge.

Abstract Direct Assessment is an approved and well established pipeline integrity inspection protocol. As this is a data intensive program, this paper is intended to provide a critical listing of the various data categories including Pipe Related, Construction Related, Soil/Environmental, Corrosion Control, Operational Data and Right of Way (ROW) elements. A novel approach integrating the data elements of External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA), Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA) and Stress Corrosion Cracking Direct Assessment (SCCDA) in a single exercise is discussed extensively, illustrating the key benefits. A typical analysis chart, incorporating the pertinent elements, is also presented. Lastly, a practical relative risk indexation system is suggested for each element so as to facilitate standardized criteria for continuous consistency for sound pipeline integrity management decisions, including determining dig locations and justifying the integrity assessment process. Overall, this paper will illustrate the categorization and integration of ECDA, ICDA, SCCDA and ROW data elements in a holistic program and their respective relative risk index so as to avail a consistent system that is truly continuously improving.

Full textAbstract:
University Restaurants (URs) are units that provide nutritionally balanced and low-cost meals to the university community, contributing to student retention. Managed by nutritionists, URs perform several activities, such as purchasing, storage, input control and hygienic-sanitary management. To ensure operational efficiency, it is essential to align, map and standardize processes. The objective of this study was to analyze the operations management of a University Restaurant in the city of Belém, in the state of Pará. This is a descriptive case study, which offers a detailed view of the practices and operational processes without associating specific factors with the results.

In ASME 2010 13th International Conference on Environmental Remediation and Radioactive Waste Management. ASMEDC, 2010. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icem2010-40136.
Full textAbstract:
The document “A Proposed Standardised List of Items for Costing Purposes” [1] was issues in 1999 by OECD/NEA, IAEA and European Commission (EC) for promoting the harmonisation in decommissioning costing. It is a systematic list of decommissioning activities classified in chapters 01 to 11 with three numbered levels. Four cost groups are defined for cost at each level. Document constitutes the standardised matrix of decommissioning activities and cost groups with definition of content of items. Knowing what is behind the items makes the comparison of cost for decommissioning projects transparent. Two approaches are identified for use of the standardised cost structure. First approach converts the cost data from existing specific cost structures into the standardised cost structure for the purpose of cost presentation. Second approach uses the standardised cost structure as the base for the cost calculation structure; the calculated cost data are formatted in the standardised cost format directly; several additional advantages may be identified in this approach. The paper presents the costing methodology based on the standardised cost structure and lessons learnt from last ten years of the implementation of the standardised cost structure as the cost calculation structure in the computer code OMEGA. Code include also on-line management of decommissioning waste, decay of radioactivity, evaluation of exposure, generation and optimisation of the of the Gantt chart of a decommissioning project, which makes the OMEGA code an effective tool for planning and optimisation of decommissioning processes.

Full textAbstract:
The effect of the geometry of conductive fillers on the conduction of conductive adhesives is studied. 3-D microstructure models of conductive adhesives are built to describe the positions and connections of the conductive fillers. Both rectangular flakes and spherical particles are studied. The total resistance of conductive adhesive is calculated by solving the resistor network formed by all particle connections. The method of full factorial design at two levels is used, and the geometric parameters are set at high and low level to study their effects on the resistivity of the conductive adhesive. Pareto chart of standardized effects of factors are examined for different configurations. Factors with significant effects are found. Main effect plots are used to study how significant factors affect the resistivity. Monte Carlo simulations are used for each configuration. Radius mean has the most significant effect for spherical particles, while the alignment angle is most significant for flakes.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Inflow (negative) tests are critical for verifying the integrity of well barrier elements (WBEs) that prevent unwanted flow of formation fluids into the well. Historically, inflow tests have been validated and documented using subjective and inconsistent techniques, including analog circular chart recorders and hand-written notes. The consequences of misinterpretation of test results can lead to catastrophic well control events. This paper presents the results of a major oil & gas operator's pilot program to standardize the use of closed system testing and a digital analysis application as a global solution to improve the safety and efficiency of inflow tests. The pilot program was deployed on multiple drillships in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Each test involved displacement of drilling mud with lower density test fluid followed by a series of bleed down steps to incrementally reduce the hydrostatic pressure above the WBE until it was less than the formation pressure from below. The displacement and bleed-down steps induced complex thermal effects on the fluids in the wellbore, complicating pressure analysis and leak detection. The digital analysis application used research-based algorithms capable of differentiating between thermal effects on the fluids and a leak. The application provided an objective and transparent pass-fail determination for each test. The software was installed at the rig sites, coupled to surface pressure data acquisition equipment, and configured to evaluate tests per BSEE-accepted criteria. Test progress and results were transmitted to a cloud-based service, enabling teams to collaborate and view critical tests in real-time. Test records were archived automatically, and digital records were preserved in comprehensive and standardized reports, ensuring knowledge transfer throughout the well's lifecycle. The test results were 100% in agreement with the operator's own pass/fail analysis results, which was one of the key success factors of the pilot. Notably, the time savings were significant. Historical inflow tests ranged between 4-12 hours for this operator, while the average total time for the pilot using digital inflow analysis was less than one hour. The pilot program proved that using a closed system method and the digital application's inflow analysis algorithm provided direct information about the thermal effects of fluid displacement and bleed-down phases resulting in more accurate and efficient inflow tests that improve safety and well integrity assurance.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Threaded cast-iron fittings find application in a wide array of uses, from residential and commercial natural gas distribution lines to fire-suppression systems. Despite their extensive use, industry standards for mechanically tightening cast-iron pipe-fitting assemblies remain undefined in crucial codes such as the IAPMO Uniform Plumbing Code and the National Fire Protection Association’s NFPA 13.10.3. The current state of practice, often referred to as the “skill of the craft,” suggests that pipes should be turned 2 to 3 full turns beyond hand-tightening to ensure proper installation. Recognizing this gap in standardization, the research team at the University of Nevada, Reno embarked on a study with the goal of creating a torque chart, akin to those available for bolts. This study focused on twelve specimens ranging in size from 1 to 2 inches. During the torqueing process, strain within the fittings was closely monitored to determine the appropriate torque levels required for secure assembly. This paper outlines the methodology adopted for the experiments, examines correlations among various pipe sizes, and delves into the impact of over-torqueing on fitting performance. It also highlights the challenges faced in establishing a standardized torque-based approach to pipe assemblies with cast-iron fittings. Furthermore, the paper introduces an alternative approach to standardization based on the number of unused female threads remaining.

In 2013 21st International Conference on Nuclear Engineering. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icone21-15258.
Full textAbstract:
Since the nuclear energy industry in China has developed rapidly, the demand for spent fuel reprocessing is becoming more and more distinct. In a reprocessing facility, power supply system (PSS) is important for operation-stability and safety-guarantee of the whole facility. Therefore, the reliability of the PSS deserves in-depth investigation and analysis. Fault tree (FT) methodology is the most accustomed methodology for system-reliability analysis and it has been standardized and applied widely. GO methodology is another effective methodology for system-reliability analysis but it has not been applied widely. In this work, GO methodology was applied to analyze the reliability of the PSS in a typical reprocessing facility. First, for modeling expediently, based on the fact that tie breakers are set in the system, tie breaker operator was defined by myself. Then, GO methodology modeling and quantitative analysis were performed, minimal cut sets (MCSs) and average unavailability of the system were obtained. Finally, parallel analysis between GO methodology and fault tree methodology was also performed. The results from the two methodologies are completely coincident. The results of this work show the following two points: 1. Setup of tie breakers in the PSS of the reprocessing facility is rational and necessary; 2. For reliability analysis of the PSS of the reprocessing facility, parallel with fault tree methodology, GO methodology has two distinct advantages: Its modeling is much easier and its chart is much more succinct.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes the games based learning in continuous training for military personal in order to increase their capacity to assume the functions or leadership roles from the organization chart and includes any combination of courses, applications and participation in the theatres of operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo. Today the military training has a specific character given by the possibility for simulation war games in conditions close to reality. To be well prepared army it is necessary to assure a balance between classical training and simulated tactical situations through strategic games which offers experiential learning model. All methods are performed by well standardized regulations in accordance with NATO standards and makes possible strategic games in e-learning systems. Also, the concept of professional performance in the military institution is a set of behaviours, closely related to individual motivation, which are involved in resolving problems through games based learning that are relevant to the military profession and organization goals. The mainly advantages of using strategic games in military training are that the environment does not support damages caused by military explosive material used in classical simulations in the field, the lack of collateral victims, and minimize the possible accidents during the simulation. Also, privacy and confidentiality is ensured through security operations provided by computer. In the military field, in particular, application of traditional criteria "efficiency" is problematic (there is no clear relationship between the "costs" and "results"), not all work can be valued in financial terms. However, the strategic computer games offer the possibility to measure parameters which are not possible to identify in real condition and "learning by doing".

In 8th International Conference on Road and Rail Infrastructure. University of Zagreb Faculty of Civil Engineering, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.5592/co/cetra.2024.1668.
Full textAbstract:
In a context of private operators competing for the same infrastructure, digitalisation is essential to support public entities in decision-making processes to ensure both fairness and efficiency when managing transport systems. This contribution presents the methods and instruments which have been integrated to face such task in the Port of Trieste, which is the first Italian port for throughput and rail movements. According to the proposed approach, railway transport processes have been first modelled through a standardized modelling language to facilitate the analysis of the operational model and the identification of possible bottlenecks. Then, graphical models have been parametrized to serve process simulation, which has been carried out by means of a discrete-event simulation engine. This latter has represented the black box of a multi-disciplinary optimization framework implementing genetic algorithms, which enabled to compute the optimal port railway capacity on varying of the destination sequence of arriving trains. Further optimization runs have been performed maximising also the capacity of the most potentially critical terminal in terms of traffic volumes, in order to evaluate the consequences on the productivity of the remaining terminals. Finally, obtained outcomes have been gathered into a database and visualized using a parallel coordinates plot, which displays the capacity of the entire port railway system and of every individual terminal as the numerical variables under investigation. Thanks to this resulting chart, authorities in the Port of Trieste now dispose of an effective digital tool to estimate changes in railway capacity at terminal and port level, and to assess the system responsiveness by comparing optimized values with expected trends. The successful application of the adopted methodology to a real-word case study demonstrates its validity and suggests its transferability to other freight transport and logistics issues and environments, fostering the use of digitalisation to make more informed decisions.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Preceptorship is a time-limited, education-focused model for teaching and learning within a clinical environment that uses a clinical staff as role models. Its primary goal is to assist new staff and students in adapting to their roles, develop clinical skills and socialize the novice to a department or institution. This difference has caused various opinions from related parties. This study aimed to determine the implementation of a tutorial system from different levels of student education to the entire midwifery health care system. Subjects and Method: A scoping review method was conducted in eight stages including (1) Identification of study problems; (2) Determining priority problem and study question; (3) Determining framework; (4) Literature searching; (5) Article selection; (6) Critical appraisal; (7) Data extraction; and (8) Mapping. The search included PubMed, Wiley, Google Scholar, dan Sciendirect. The inclusion criteria were English-language and full-text articles published between 2000 and 2019. The data were selected by the PRISMA flow chart. Results: Ten articles from total of 803 articles found. It was divided into two categories: Elements in the preceptorship model and application of preceptorship. Preceptorship can help preceptors to improve teaching effectiveness and create an effective learning environment so that preceptors can perform clinical skills to improve the quality of education. The problem that arises in preceptorship in many student reports is the difficulty students experience in finding their clinical practice area. Professional organizations provide several solutions to the issues that occur in a preceptorship, one of which is paying attention to student attendance and facilitating students to give input and ideas. Conclusion: The application of the principles in the practice of midwifery clinics varies because the guideline instruments are not standardized.

Efficacy of Integrating CBT for Mental Health Care into Substance Abuse Treatment in Patients with Comorbid Disorders of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness.

Abstract: Multiple studies have found that psychiatric disorders, like mood disorders and substance use disorders, are highly comorbid among adults with either disorder. Integrated treatment refers to the treatment of two or more conditions and the use of multiple therapies such as the combination of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy. Integrated therapy for comorbidity per numerous studies has consistently been superior to the treatment of individual disorders separately. The purpose of this QI project was to identify the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) instead of current treatment as usual for treating Substance Use Disorder (SUD) or mental health diagnosis independently. It is a retrospective chart review. The review examines CBT's efficacy for engaging individuals with co-occurring mood and substance u se disorders in treatment by enhancing adherence and preventing disengagement and relapse. Methods: Forty adults aged 26-55 with a DSM-IV diagnosis of a mood disorder of Major Depressive Disorder and/or anxiety and concurrent substance use disorder (at least weekly use in the past month). Participants received 12 sessions of individual integrated CBT treatment delivered with case management over a 12-week period. Results: The intervention was associated with significant improvements in mood disorder, substance use, and coping skills at 4, 8, and 12 weeks post-treatment. Conclusions: These results provide some evidence for the effectiveness of the integrated CBT intervention in individuals with co-occurring disorders. Of note, all psychotherapies are efficacious; however, it would be more advantageous to develop a standardized CBT that identifies variables that facilitate treatment outcomes specifically to comorbid disorders of substance use and mood disorders. It is concluded that there is potentially more to be gained from further studies using randomized controlled designs to determine its efficacy.
