Implementation of an advanced practice role for oxygen prescription by physiotherapists in pulmonary rehabilitation: an explanatory sequential mixed-method quality evaluation

BackgroundPhysiotherapists play a key role in the administration of supplemental oxygen during physical activity in pulmonary rehabilitation. However, supplemental oxygen requires a medical prescription making processes cumbersome for physiotherapists. This study aimed to implement and evaluate an advanced practice role for physiotherapists (APO2) allowing them to prescribe oxygen during physical activity.MethodsTraining and certification process for respiratory physiotherapists employed in an inpatient rehabilitation clinic was implemented. A mixed-method approach for retrospective evaluation was used. Quantitative analysis included routine clinical data from oxygen prescriptions, titrations, and exercise capacity. Additionally, healthcare professionals’ experiences and perceptions of the new APO2 role was explored using a survey. Qualitative data included interprofessional interviews, survey comments, and data from the critical incidence reporting system.ResultsIn 15% of patients during the evaluation period, certified APO2 were involved in oxygen prescription. These patients had more frequent titrations (median 8 [interquartile 6, 10] vs. 5 [4, 8]), prescription adjustments (3 [2, 4] vs. 1 [1, 2]), and narrower oxygen dosage ranges prescribed (2 [1, 3] vs. 4 [3, 4]). No significant difference in exercise capacity was observed and no adverse events reported. Survey data from 19 healthcare professionals and interviews indicated that the specialised expertise of APO2 positively impacts interprofessional collaboration and workflow efficiency.ConclusionsPhysiotherapy-led oxygen prescription during physical activity in pulmonary rehabilitation is feasible, safe, and perceived as beneficial for the workflow and interprofessional collaboration across healthcare professions.Trial registrationAccording to Swiss law (Human Research Act, Art. 2), ethics approval for the study and informed consent were not required and were waived off. All methods were in accordance with the regulations and guidelines of the Swiss Human Research Act and Swiss ethics law.

ML meets aerospace: challenges of certifying airborne AI

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies can potentially revolutionize the aerospace industry with applications such as remote sensing data refinement, autonomous landing, and drone-based agriculture. However, safety concerns have prevented the widespread adoption of AI in commercial aviation. Currently, commercial aircraft do not incorporate AI components, even in entertainment or ground systems. This paper explores the intersection of AI and aerospace, focusing on the challenges of certifying AI for airborne use, which may require a new certification approach. We conducted a comprehensive literature review to identify common AI-enabled aerospace applications, classifying them by the criticality of the application and the complexity of the AI method. An applicability analysis was conducted to assess how existing aerospace standards - for system safety, software, and hardware - apply to machine learning technologies. In addition, we conducted a gap analysis of machine learning development methodologies to meet the stringent aspects of aviation certification. We evaluate current efforts in AI certification by applying the EASA concept paper and Overarching Properties (OPs) to a case study of an automated peripheral detection system (ADIMA). Aerospace applications are expected to use a range of methods tailored to different levels of criticality. Current aerospace standards are not directly applicable due to the manner in which the behavior is specified by the data, the uncertainty of the models, and the limitations of white box verification. From a machine learning perspective, open research questions were identified that address validation of intent and data-driven requirements, sufficiency of verification, uncertainty quantification, generalization, and mitigation of unintended behavior. For the ADIMA system, we demonstrated compliance with EASA development processes and achieved key certification objectives. However, many of the objectives are not applicable due to the human-centric design. OPs helped us to identify and uncover several defeaters in the applied ML technology. The results highlight the need for updated certification standards that take into account the unique nature of AI and its failure types. Furthermore, certification processes need to support the continuous evolution of AI technologies. Key challenges remain in ensuring the safety and reliability of AI systems, which calls for new methodologies in the machine learning community.

Seed market dynamics and diffusion of new wheat varieties in Bihar, India: a supply-side perspective

An examination of the dynamics of seed markets in Bihar, India, reveals a paradox—despite an influx of wheat varieties bred by public and private sectors and the proliferation of seed market networks in rural villages, older wheat varieties remain prevalent—necessitating a thorough investigation of the seed distribution system. Unlike most empirical studies that examine the adoption of new and improved crop varieties from a farmer's perspective, our study shifts the focus to the seed supply side. We analyse data collected from 200 private seed dealers who cater to the needs of over 163,000 farmers spread across 10 districts in Bihar. We use descriptive statistics alongside dealer-level and varietal-level regression models to examine the relationship between seed sales and varietal age. Findings indicate that the number of varieties available with a dealer (varietal richness) is positively associated with the number of seed buyers (dealer’s reach) and the total quantity of seeds sold. Private varieties are in demand despite their higher prices. Dealer-level models showed that varietal age affects neither the reach nor the sales, allowing older public-sector varieties to coexist with more recent private-sector ones. However, the varietal-level regression models show that dealers rank the new varieties higher as the ones being sold more. To explore the potential of private seed markets to reduce the proliferation of old wheat varieties that are more susceptible to evolving biotic and abiotic stress factors, we recommend strengthening the varietal registration and seed certification processes, implementing better seed traceability systems, and fostering public–private partnerships in variety development and seed dissemination. Investing in market experiments to incentivize seed dealers to engage in quality assurance can help refine strategies and ensure efficient and inclusive dissemination of promising wheat varieties.

S-RAF: A Simulation-Based Robustness Assessment Framework for Responsible Autonomous Driving
