Abstract:

Abstract Background Academic and public health partnerships are a critical component of the Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America (EHE). The Enhanced HIV/AIDS Reporting System (eHARS) is a standardized document-based surveillance database used by state health departments to collect and manage case reports, lab reports, and other documentation on persons living with HIV. Innovative analysis of this data can inform targeted, evidence-based interventions to achieve EHE objectives. We describe the development of a distributed data network strategy at an academic institution in partnership with public health departments to identify geographic differences in time to HIV viral suppression after HIV diagnosis using eHARS data. Figure 1. Distributed Data Network Methods This project was an outgrowth of work developed at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Center for AIDS Research (UAB CFAR) and existing relationships with the state health departments of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. At a project start-up meeting which included study investigators and state epidemiologists, core objectives and outcome measures were established, key eHARS variables were identified, and regulatory and confidentiality procedures were examined. The study methods were approved by the UAB Institutional Review Board (IRB) and all three state health department IRBs. Results A common data structure and data dictionary across the three states were developed. Detailed analysis protocols and statistical code were developed by investigators in collaboration with state health departments. Over the course of multiple in-person and virtual meetings, the program code was successfully piloted with one state health department. This generated initial summary statistics, including measures of central tendency, dispersion, and preliminary survival analysis. Conclusion We developed a successful academic and public health partnership creating a distributed data network that allows for innovative research using eHARS surveillance data while protecting sensitive health information. Next, state health departments will transmit summary statistics to UAB for combination using meta-analytic techniques. This approach can be adapted to inform delivery of targeted interventions at a regional and national level. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Abstract:

PROFESSORJOHN SAMUELS IS HEAD OF Birmingham Business School, Dr. Sheila Greenfield is a Research Fellow in the Department of Accounting and Finance, and Herrick Mpuku is with the Department of Economics, all at Birmingham University, England. The objective of this paper is to report on research into the pricing behaviour in the export market and the attitude towards risk of a sample of smaller companies located in the West Midlands of England. The study was undertaken in 1990 at a time of high interest rates and volatile exchange rates. The particular questions considered included the terms of trade, the currency of invoicing, the extent to which hedging takes place, the adjustment of export prices to changing exchange rates, and the use of the government's Export Credits Guarantee Department, which insures exporters against non-payment and other risks. The responses were analysed by the size of firms, the years of experience in exporting, and the percentage of turnover that is exported. The firms in the sample varied from those employing less than 10 people to those employing more than 200. Not surprisingly because the survey was conducted among Birmingham and West Midlands companies, the vast majority are in the metal goods, engineering and manufacturing industries. More than 40 per cent of the firms had been exporting for more than 50 years.

Abstract:

Sir Harry Melville was a physical chemist with an international reputation for his studies of gas-phase and heterogeneous reactions, polymerizations and polymer properties; much of this work was characterized by the development of analytical techniques that exploited a very wide range of physical properties. His career changed direction at the age of 48 from immediate personal involvement in the direction of research to the development of national research strategies, followed later by academic administration as a university Principal. His interests in chemical research remained active throughout his long life. For J.C.B., acquaintance with Melville began during a study of phosphorus as an incendiary agent and reading some of his published papers; there was later (in 1948) appointment to the staff at the University of Birmingham and membership of the High Polymer Research Group. B.G.G. heard him lecture at a scientific meeting in 1945, met him as external PhD examiner in 1949 and joined his department at Birmingham in 1955.

Abstract:

The history of Southeast Missouri State University parallels that of other teacher education institutions. It started as Southeast Missouri Normal School in 1873 and reached university status in 1972. A department of Geology and Geography was established in 1909, becoming the Geography Department in 1915. In 1924, the sciences were combined into the Science Department. In 1960, this became the Division of Science and Mathematics and the Department of Earth Sciences was formed. An earth science major began in 1937, with separate geology and geography majors established in 1958. Recently the Department has developed more specialized, job-oriented programs in mining geology and in cartography. Since 1983 the Department has also operated a field camp, headquartered on the campus of Dixie College, St. George, Utah.

Abstract:

The Department of Economics at Nanjing University (NanDa) was established over 60 years ago. In 1952, however, when China's universities and colleges were restructured along the Soviet pattern, the department was merged with Fudan University's Economics Department. The combined department was housed in Shanghai. In 1978, after some 26 years, a department was reinstated at NanDa, but none of the university's former faculty returned. At present NanDa has the only Economics Department in Jiangsu Province. Furthermore, there are no institutes of economics and finance in the province as there are in many other provinces and municipalities.

Full text

Abstract:

This very large training scheme was formed at the suggestion of the then newly appointed Professor of Psychiatry, Ian Brockington, who saw that in the existing rotations the balance between specialty and general posts was very uneven. He also argued convincingly that it would attract more trainees of high calibre and improve the morale and enthusiasm for training of the consultants, particularly in those rotations which had difficulty recruiting junior doctors or had failed to achieve more than provisional approval by the Royal College on repeated accreditation visits. The new scheme was launched in 1984 following the establishment of a Steering Committee including representatives of the psychiatric divisions of the five Birmingham Health Authorities and the adjacent Sandwell and Solihull Health Authorities, of the University Department and of the various specialties such as child psychiatry. All the Authorities agreed to pay jointly for a clerical officer to service the scheme and Solihull undertook to provide accommodation and a Medical Personnel Officer with specific responsibility for the scheme. A senior universally respected Clinical Tutor, Eddy Sethna, was elected Organising Tutor and given full authority to manage the rotation, reporting twice yearly to the Steering Committee which would advise on any difficulties which he could not resolve directly with trainees, trainers or divisions and would agree additions or modifications to the scheme.

Abstract:

The article discusses the process of creating and developing a library and museum as part of the educational and scientific material base of the Cabinet of Geography at the Department of Geography and Ethnography of Imperial Kazan University. From the annual reports on the activities of the Department it can be seen that the acquisition of the Library with new editions, and the Ethnographic Museum with collections, was systematic. These processes were interconnected and aimed at creating a high-quality integrated material base for the development of the educational and scientific process. The article emphasizes that the leading role in the processes of forming the library and museum belonged to the head of the Department of Geography and Ethnography, Petr Ivanovich Krotov and Bruno Friedrichovich Adler. Peter Krotov created the Cabinet of Geography. Bruno Adler improved and developed not only the Cabinet of Geography itself, but also ethnographic science in the Volga Region and Russia as a whole. For example, having academic ties with Russian and foreign scientists, Bruno Adler received many publications and subjects for the Cabinet of Geography as a gift. This allowed for the year to increase several times, both the library and the museum under the Cabinet of Geography. The scientifically organized cabinet, which has comprehensive collections and professional literature, has become a quality source base for the development of ethnographic science at Kazan University.

Abstract:

Established in 1983, the Digital Geography Lab (DGL) at Salem State University (SSU) is one of the oldest higher-education digital spatial labs. This paper details the evolution of the DGL as well as its current status as one of the best computer labs at Salem State University. This paper describes the changing technology of the DGL over the past 28 years. The DGL not only provides SSU students with cutting edge geospatial technology, but it is a research lab for faculty and is extensively used in community outreach programs. The DGL is being used more and more by other departments such as Geology, Criminal Justice, Computer Science and Inter-disciplinary Studies which reflects the expansion of the geo-spatial sciences beyond geography. The success of the DGL lies in part with the University’s management of the facility where major decisions are made in consultation with the Department and DGL staff. The configuration and technology of the DGL has changed considerably through the years, reflecting the transformations in technology and educational philosophies, but the core mission of the DGL has not, which is to serve the students, faculty and the local community with cutting edge geospatial technology.

Abstract:

Objective To compare financial impact between patients undergoing ambulatory (same-day discharge) vs overnight admission after total thyroidectomy while showing associated surgical outcomes. Study Design Retrospective review. Setting University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center from October 2011 and July 2017. Methods Patients undergoing total thyroidectomy without concurrent procedures were selected for review. Demographics, comorbidities, admission status, postoperative outcomes including minor and major complications, charges, and costs were collected. Admission status was categorized as inpatient (admission to hospital ≥1 night) or outpatient (discharged from the postoperative recovery unit). Costs were obtained from all related hospital, clinic, and emergency department visits at the University of Alabama at Birmingham within 30 days of the original surgery. After statistical analysis, outcomes and costs were compared between inpatient and outpatient total thyroidectomy patients. Results Of 870 total thyroidectomy patients included for analysis, 367 (42.2%) met outpatient criteria. A total of 169 patients (19.4%) had a complication, and only hypocalcemia occurred significantly more in the inpatient group (14.3% vs 9.26%; P < .05). No complications occurred more frequently in the outpatient population. There were no mortalities. There was a statistically significant difference between the total cost of inpatient and outpatient thyroidectomies, with outpatient surgery costing on average $2367.27 less per patient ( P < .0001). Conclusion Outpatient total thyroidectomy can lead to cost reduction in highly selected patients who have few comorbidities while remaining safe for the patient.

Abstract:

Without a department of geography, Harvard University established the Center for Geographic Analysis (CGA) in 2006 to support research and teaching of all disciplines across the University with emerging geospatial technologies. In the past four and a half years, CGA built an institutional service infrastructure and unleashed an increasing demand on geographic analysis in many fields. CGA services range from helpdesk, project consultation, training, hardware/software administration, community building, to system development and methodology research. Services often start as an application of existing GIS technology, eventually contributing to the study of geographic information science in many ways. As a new generation of students and researchers growing up with Google Earth and the like, their demand for geospatial services will continue to push CGA into new territories.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground: Hospital emergency department (ED) clinicians will play a crucial role in responding to any terrorist incident involving radioactive materials. To date, however, there has been a paucity of research focusing specifically on ED clinicians’ perspectives regarding this threat.Methods: At the request of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham conducted a series of 10 focus groups (total participants, 77) with ED physicians and nurses at hospitals in 3 US regions. Participants considered a hypothetical “dirty bomb” scenario and discussed their perceptions, concerns, information needs, preferred information sources, and views of current guidance and informational materials.Results: Study participants consistently expressed the view that neither EDs nor hospital facilities are sufficiently prepared for a terrorist event involving radioactive materials. Key clinician concerns included the possibility of the hospital being overwhelmed, safety of loved ones, potential staffing problems, readiness problems, and contamination and self-protection. Participants also expressed a need for additional information, strongly disagreed with aspects of current response guidance, and in some cases indicated they would not carry out current protocols.Conclusions: This study is the first to examine the views, perceptions, and information needs of hospital ED clinicians regarding radiological terrorism. As such, the findings may be useful in informing current and future efforts to improve hospital preparedness. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2008;2:174–184)

Abstract:

This research aims to study elements of map through evaluation of using elements of map ofone hundred theses and dissertations of geography department in the college of Education for girls –university of Baghdad. The researcher makes a comparison between this department and the department of geography in the college of Education – IbnRushid – university of Baghdad that he would know which department is better in producing maps having accuracy in using elements of map especially if we know that the first department is in need of specialized professors, the other department has specialist in cartography. The research reaches to that some researchers fails in following some basic rules of maps. From other side, the research realizes that there is a clear development in producing a high quality map through using new technologies and programs by researchers. As to comparison which is made between two departments, the second department has a wide maintaining in elements of maps as there are specialized professors of cartography having the ability in producing accurate and scientific maps through supervision or giving advice .

Abstract:

‘Community’ has, suggests Graham Woodruff, a friendly ring: yet it is also a weasel word, lending a stamp of often spurious togetherness to bodies politic or theatric. Thus, the use of ‘community’ in the geographical sense is often drained of any true meaning, where it is not a cover for the avoidance of contentious political issues. ‘Communities of interest’ had some success in speaking theatrically in the 'seventies, but now, Woodruff claims, the political situation is such that ‘community theatre’ can and should seek to express the common interests of the increasingly beleaguered working class, offering a way of extending the dramatizations attempted outwards from parochial to wider political concerns. Graham Woodruff was Head of the Drama Department at the University of Birmingham before becoming director of Telford Community Arts, on whose work he draws for the following article.

Abstract:

The research at the Department, which is one of the oldest at the Geography Faculty of Lviv University (founded in 1944) has been mainly connected during the last half-century with integrated physical-geographical studies of Western Ukraine, development of theoretical, methodical, and applied issues of landscape science. As a result, the Lviv school of landscape studies of Prof. K.I. Herenchuk was formed, as well as the school of mountain landscape studies of Prof. H.P. Miller. The research activities of the Department staff are based not only on the expeditionary field data, but also on the data collected at the field stations – the Roztocha Landscape-Geophysical Station (functions since 1968) and the Chornohora Geographical Station (functions since 1978). Key words: Department of Physical Geography, research activities, stationary observations, landscape science.

Abstract:

Sir Alan Cottrell was a man who achieved the highest possible distinction in a number of roles relating to science and education. He is rightly regarded as the outstanding physical metallurgist of the twentieth century. His career began at the University of Birmingham, where, first as lecturer, then as professor, he made two major contributions. The first was to relate the properties of metals and alloy systems to their electronic structures and to thermodynamical factors; the second was to relate the mechanical properties of solids to the defects that they contained: point defects such as vacancies and interstitials, and line defects such as dislocations. His work in both these topics proved to be instructional and inspirational for generations to come. He next spent a period at Harwell, making major contributions to the UK’s nuclear reactor programme. He then moved to Cambridge to regenerate a somewhat moribund Department of Metallurgy. His success was such that, through the lines of research that he created and the people that he brought in, the Cambridge Department is now recognized as a world leader. His own research made great advances in the treatment of the brittle fracture of steel.
