O acervo do Instituto Federal do Piauí – Campus Teresina Central: possibilidades de arquivamento da memória institucional

O estudo aqui apresentado tem como foco o processo de constituição de um espaço dedicado a arquivar e conservar a memória de uma instituição educacional centenária. O objetivo é refletir sobre a implementação do Memorial do Instituto Federal do Piauí, Campus Teresina Central, que abrange ensino técnico, graduações tecnológicas, licenciaturas, bacharelados, cursos de especialização lato sensu e programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu. Sob a perspectiva da História da Educação, busca-se problematizar esse processo em uma instituição pública e compreender as potencialidades de um lugar de memória, na concepção de Pierre Nora (1993). Os questionamentos e as ponderações presentes nesse propósito de reunir o acervo estão conectados com conceitos da História Cultural, mobilizando ideias de Jacques Le Goff e Peter Burke, e com a utilização de fontes orais, hemerográficas, objetos da cultura material da escola edocumentos institucionais. A reflexão proposta está organizada em uma introdução, evidenciando a experiência de criação de uma unidade de memória numa instituição de ensino superior, técnico e tecnológico. Em seguida, abordam-se o percurso de constituição desse espaço e as questões acerca de seus desafios, suas realizações e intencionalidades. Segue-se com um segundo tópico, discutindo-se limites e potencialidades desse investimento de pesquisa, com suas tensões e intenções. Nas considerações finais, o artigo aponta que os primeiros passos em direção à construção doMemorial foram realizados; entretanto, há medidas de cunho operacional e administrativo que, para se efetivarem, dependem de vontade política, dotação orçamentária e sensibilidade da gestão do campus para designar uma equipe comprometida com os objetivos pretendidos.

Twelve-month prescribing of contraceptive pill, patch, and ring before and after a standardized electronic medical record order change

ObjectiveTo evaluate the proportion of 12-month contraceptive pill, patch, and ring prescriptions before and after an institution-wide change of default electronic medical record facility orders to dispensing 12-month supply. Study designThis retrospective pre-post study compares outpatient contraception prescriptions from August 10, 2019 through April 9, 2020 obtained from our institutional electronic medical record prescription database. On December 10, 2019, we facilitated a change in the default orders for dispensing self-administered hormonal contraceptives from one-month to 12-months. We evaluated the primary outcome of 12-month supply prescriptions during the four months before and after the change. We also compared 12-month supply prescriptions for pills, patch, and ring by prescriber specialty and location. ResultsThe dataset included 4897 distinct evaluable prescriptions for the pill, patch, or ring, with an overall increase in 12-month prescriptions from 260/2437 (10.7%) to 669/2460 (27.2%) after the order change (p < 0.001). Twelve-month pill prescriptions increased from 238/2250 (10.6%) to 607/2250 (27.0%) (p < 0.001), patch prescriptions from 6/40 (15.0%) to 21/44 (47.7%) (p = 0.002), and ring prescriptions from 16/147 (10.9%) to 41/165 (24.8%) (p = 0.001). Twelve-month prescriptions increased after the order change among all provider types at the medical center campus (194/594 [32.7%] to 329/623 [52.8%], p < 0.001). At community clinics, non-obstetrics/gynecology providers increased 12-month prescriptions after the order change (58/1616 [3.6%] to 327/1612 [20.3%], p < 0.001), but obstetrics/gynecology providers did not (8/227 [3.5%] to 13/225 [5.8%], p = 0.27). ConclusionProviders more frequently prescribed a 12-month supply of contraceptive pills, patches, and rings after a change in the default dispensing quantity in electronic medical record orders. ImplicationsInstitution-wide changes to the electronic medical record default facility order settings can increase 12-month supply contraceptive prescriptions. As a 12-month prescription order represents only one step of many in obtaining a 12-month contraception supply, additional research is required to elucidate and remove other potential barriers.

SISTEM PENILAIAN KINERJA TENAGA PENDIDIK DAN TENAGA KEPENDIDIKAN BERBASIS WEB DI STEKOM SEMARANG

STEKOM College which has branch campuses in several places. Employee performance appraisals are carried out by superiors and branch campus coordinators using Ms. Excel. The results of the performance assessment are sent to the staffing department via e-mail. The personnel department will recap the results of the performance appraisal to be conveyed to the leadership. This assessment process takes a long time and tends to be inefficient. In this study, a web-based Employee Performance Appraisal System was developed that can be accessed online by relevant appraisers at the central campus and STEKOM branch campuses. The System Development Method uses a Research and Development (R&amp;D) approach. Assessment elements include 6 (six) aspects, namely: Service Orientation, Integrity, Commitment, Discipline, Cooperation and Leadership. The results of the performance appraisal of educators (lecturers) apart from being used internally as a measurement of lecturers' work behavior, can also be used externally for the assessment of work behavior when the lecturer makes Employee Performance Targets (SKP), as well as being used to assess the performance of education personnel. System modeling uses the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Making the source code program using the Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) programming language with a web-based MySQL database using Notepad ++ software. The results obtained from the use of the employee performance appraisal system, performance reports can be obtained more quickly, making it easier for the staffing department to obtain data on employee performance appraisals effectively and efficiently.

Rapid Response Systems Across Multisite Locations of a Pediatric Hospital System: Patient Characteristics Matter Most.

Rapid response systems (RRSs) have become a common presence in hospitals globally since their first formal description by Lee et al1 in 1995. Given the success of these teams at improving pediatric outcomes, rapid response team implementation in pediatric institutions has an established foothold as well, spreading from tertiary hospitals to affiliated satellite institutions and community hospitals. The gap in knowledge now is how patient outcomes may vary across these settings and what features of RRSs and escalation systems need adaptation or are not relevant. In the article by Bavare et al,2 the authors have designed a multisite single institution retrospective observational study to evaluate patient characteristics, outcomes, and use differences between sites with similar RRSs. The strength of this study is the relatively consistent framework and policies implemented from an institutional level at sites where patient characteristics, staffing experience, subspecialist availability, and other contextual factors vary significantly. The authors present the principles of a “realist evaluation” to consider the effects of local context and social structure on program performance.3 A total of 2935 rapid response team activations were evaluated across 3 medical campuses (1816 at the central campus and 405 at 2 satellite campuses). As would be expected, there was a larger proportion of medically complex patients at the central campus. Although the central campus and satellite campuses had identical RRS protocols, they had variations in …

An Investigation of Sustainable Transportation Model in Campus Areas with Space Syntax Method

Purpose Campus areas should be designed as centers where social activities can be fulfilled to meet students' needs, and which can serve the society by promoting sustainability. Nowadays, transportation systems (bike path, public transport, etc.) that support sustainability are not very common in campus areas. This situation leads to many environmental, economic and social problems. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop sustainable transport plans to uncover the current state of the transport system and to meet future transport needs. In the study, it was aimed to compare the spatial characteristics of Kilis 7 Aralik University's current situation and its design in line with sustainable transportation principles. Design/Methodology/Approach This study was carried out in the central campus of Kilis 7 Aralik University. In the study, the existing transportation infrastructure of the campus has been evaluated, a sustainable transportation model has been formed in accordance with the concept of green campus, and changes in spatial characteristics of the campus with the environmental, physical and social contributions of this model have been explained. Spatial composition method was used to analyze the spatial properties. Findings In the sustainable design model, while the local integration value decreased, global integration, intelligibility, accessibility, and synergy values were found to increase. Research Limitations/Implications In the study, the sustainable transportation model was carried out in a narrow area, such as the campus area. It is thought that the results obtained will be the basis for the studies to be carried out in larger areas. Practical Implications Campus accessibility, intelligibility and global integration values have increased with the sustainable transportation model. This situation is expected to increase the livability of campus areas. Social Implications It is thought that the mental health and academic achievements of the campus users will be positively affected in the campuses designed with the planning approach based on the sustainable transportation model. Originality/Value The article is considered important in terms of examining sustainable transportation in campus areas compared to spatial analysis.

Opening up to OER: Creating Open Education Awareness on a large campus

ike many academic libraries, the University of Texas Libraries (UT) at UT-Austin is looking for ways to increase awareness of open educational resources (OER) on our campus. Our university does not have an OER mandate from our central campus administration, so the path towards greater awareness hasn’t been straightforward. We hope that sharing our nascent attempts to start this conversation on our campus, which have included starting a working group, offering faculty workshops, and fundraising for an OER librarian position, will help others begin to champion OER on their campuses.

SO016SPREAD OF ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY IMPROVEMENT PROGAMME ACROSS A LARGE MULTI SITED NHS HOSPITAL

Abstract Background and Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a widely recognised serious health care issue. Up to 25% of hospital patients can develop it, with worse outcomes compared non AKI. A UK–wide audit in 2009 and our local audit in 2014 showed consistently poor AKI care including delays in detection and inconsistent management of cases. The trust set up the AKI Team in 2014 to improve AKI detection, care and outcomes. Successful implementation of a Multifaceted Quality Improvement (QI) Programme for AKI across the main hospital campus since 2015 saw significant improvement in AKI care and outcomes; recognition within 24hrs improved from 52% to 100% since 2016; there has been a 34% reduction in AKI incidence, 26% reduction in AKI length of stay (LoS) ,42% reduction in AKI days (time to recovery) and 10% less AKI associated mortality. The Trust being one of the largest acute trusts in the UK (10 hospitals across 6 sites, over 2000 beds), the QI spread represented a formidable challenge. We describe the methodology and outcomes of AKI QI spread across the trust. Method Central Campus Hospitals Improvement on this site involved setting a bespoke electronic alert coupled with education, key stake holder engagement, gradual culture change and AKI Priority Care Checklist (PCC) and use of change agent (AKI Clinical Nurse Specialist-CNS) visiting local teams and empowering them to manage AKI using Demming’s Model for Improvement A stepwise staggered similar approach was implemented first in the Women’s and Eye Hospitals followed by Children’s Hospital after a local adaptation and testing of algorithm, PCC and appointment of local change agent, a Paediatric AKI CNS. West Campus Hospital A DGH with 230 beds, 1-2 incident cases of AKI/day required a bespoke approach. The central AKI team runs an AKI alerts report and remotely alert the local multidisciplinary teams and empowering them to implement the PCC. South Campus Hospitals A large tertiary hospital merged in 2018 with an existing AKI CNS team. Detection algorithms, education material, PCC, reporting, and approach have been progressively harmonized using the Central Campus model. Data is expressed using SPC charts and analysed by t-test. Results Care process and outcome measures have seen a consistent improvement across all sites. As reported in the Central Campus, recognition of AKI within 24hrs has improved from 52% to 100% since 2016; there has been a 34% reduction in AKI incidence (p&amp;lt;0.00001), 26% reduction in AKI LoS and a 42% reduction in AKI days (time to recovery). The Children’s Hospital had 24% reduction (p&amp;lt;0.0001) in AKI incidence and a 34% reduction in hospital acquired AKI. Recognition of AKI has improved from 42% to 100%; 15% reduction in AKI LoS and 22% reduction in AKI days. In the South Campus recognition of AKI has improved from 67% to 100% and 19% reduction (p&amp;lt;0.0015) in AKI incidence. LoS and AKI days data yet to be reported whilst IT systems are been harmonised. In West Campus recognition is 100% but the small numbers prevent any meaningful analysis of other outcomes. Conclusion This study demonstrates how a cluster of simple interventions and approach to AKI detection and care were successfully rolled out across a multisite large complex acute care organization taking into account the local realities of each site/Hospitals whilst maintaining the core interventions.

Brain Imaging Use and Findings in COVID-19: A Single Academic Center Experience in the Epicenter of Disease in the United States.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a serious public health crisis and can have neurologic manifestations. This is a retrospective observational case series performed March 1-31, 2020, at New York University Langone Medical Center campuses. Clinical and imaging data were extracted, reviewed, and analyzed. Two hundred forty-two patients with COVID-19 underwent CT or MRI of the brain within 2 weeks after the positive result of viral testing (mean age, 68.7 ± 16.5 years; 150 men/92 women [62.0%/38.0%]). The 3 most common indications for imaging were altered mental status (42.1%), syncope/fall (32.6%), and focal neurologic deficit (12.4%). The most common imaging findings were nonspecific white matter microangiopathy (134/55.4%), chronic infarct (47/19.4%), acute or subacute ischemic infarct (13/5.4%), and acute hemorrhage (11/4.5%). No patients imaged for altered mental status demonstrated acute ischemic infarct or acute hemorrhage. White matter microangiopathy was associated with higher 2-week mortality (P < .001). Our data suggest that in the absence of a focal neurologic deficit, brain imaging in patients with early COVID-19 with altered mental status may not be revealing.

Investigation Of University Students’ Overall Quality Of College Life And Their Satisfaction With This Life Terms Of Their Genders And Departments

The current study was conducted to investigate university students’ life quality and life satisfaction in the campus. The study was designed in the survey model. The population of the study is comprised of the students attending the Physical Education and Sports School, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences and Faculty of Education in the central campus of Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University. The sample consists of 400 students selected from among the population through random sampling. The data were collected through the questionnaire method. As the questionnaire, “The University Life Quality Scale” adapted to Turkish by (13) was used. From this scale, the overall life quality and overall life satisfaction dimensions were taken. The Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient was calculated to be 0.85 for the overall life quality dimension and 0.83 for the overall life satisfaction dimension. The questionnaire was administered to the students through face-to-face method. A total of 400 students (212 females and 188 males) responded to the questionnaire. In order to analyze the collected data, percentages (%) were calculated and Independent Samples T Test and Kruskal-Wallis Test, Bivariate Correlation were used. In the determination of the differences between the variables, 0.05 was taken as the confidence interval. The obtained findings have revealed that the students’ overall life quality and life satisfaction in the campus mean scores are low, that while their mean scores do not vary significantly by gender, their overall life quality mean scores vary significantly depending on the faculty they attend (p<0,05). As a result, it can be said that the participating students’ overall life quality and life satisfaction in the campus mean scores are low.

Urban Seismic Site Characterization by Fiber‐Optic Seismology

AbstractAccurate ground motion prediction requires detailed site effect assessment, but in urban areas where such assessments are most important, geotechnical surveys are difficult to perform, limiting their availability. Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) offers an appealing alternative by repurposing existing fiber‐optic cables, normally employed for telecommunication, as an array of seismic sensors. We present a proof‐of‐concept demonstration by using DAS to produce high‐resolution maps of the shallow subsurface with the Stanford DAS array, California. We describe new methods and their assumptions to assess H/V spectral ratio—a technique widely used to estimate the natural frequency of the soil—and to extract Rayleigh wave dispersion curves from ambient seismic field. These measurements are jointly inverted to provide models of shallow seismic velocities and sediment thicknesses above bedrock in central campus. The good agreement with an independent survey validates the methodology and demonstrates the power of DAS for microzonation.

Comparative analysis of different hybrid energy system for sustainable power supply: A case study

Hybrid Power System (HPS) is an energy system with combination of different regenerative energy sources like Solar, Wind, Geo-Thermal, Biomass and several others to achieve energy sustainability. This paper investigates the feasibility of grid connected and stand-alone hybrid energy system to meet electric load requirement of a community or organization, by utilizing the available resources. Potentiality of different energy sources like solar, wind, bio-gas, etc. along with currently used energy sources is studied thoroughly by taking a case study of Kathmandu University central campus, located at Dhulikhel, Nepal. Technical and economic analysis of on-grid and off-grid hybrid system is performed to get optimum model that supply continuous energy to the end user. Furthermore, the possibility of net metering with national utility has been analysed. The main objective of this study is to identify the suitable energy mixed model, that provide the sustainable energy supply to the university, and recommend the possible energy generators to be added for fulfilling the continuously increasing load demand. The load profile of several years of the University is taken into consideration for forecasting the power demand. The findings of the research show that system when adopted to hybrid system can meet up to 55% of the load by renewable resources. Maximum renewable fraction is found to be 0.603 and maximum renewable penetration of 812%.
