Trendsetting Ideas of the Children's Hospital "Kinderklinik Glanzing" Since 1915

Die Kinderklinik Glanzing hatte seit ihrer Gründung 1915 viele innovative Vorstände, deren Lebenslauf und Aktivitäten hier chronologisch dargestellt werden. Leopold Moll setzte mit Kriegspatenschaften und Erholungsurlauben für bedürftige Kinder sowie Mutterberatungsstellen wesentliche sozialpädiatrische Aspekte. August Reuss gründete Säuglingsstationen und Kinderabteilungen. Er etablierte eine eigene Ausbildung für Kinderärzte. Alfred Rosenkranz gründete 1974 die erste neonatologische Intensivstation in Österreich. Im Jahr 1992 führte Andreas Lischka Qualitätmanagement (QM) an der Kinderklinik Glanzing als eines der ersten Krankenhäuser in Europa erfolgreich ein. Als zweites europäisches Zentrum nahm die Kinderklinik Glanzing am Vermont Oxford Neonatal Network (VONN) zur Qualitätssicherung der Versorgung Frühgeborener teil. Die erste Babyklappe für eine anonyme straffreie Abgabe eines Neugeborenen wurde 2000 im Wilhelminenspital gegründet, um (zusätzlich zur Möglichkeit einer anonymen Geburt) ungewollten Babys eine Chance zum Überleben zu geben. Seit 1999 wurde in Zusammenarbeit mit der Musikuniversität an der neonatologischen Intensivstation Musiktherapie im Rahmen eines wissenschaftlichen Projekts angeboten.Publikationen über die Toxizität des Weichmachers Diethylhexylphthalat (DEHP) in Polyvinylchlorid-haltigen Medikalprodukten waren Anlass, eine PVC-freie Intensivstation zu etablieren.Stillförderung insbesondere bei Frühgeborenen war schon immer ein besonderes Anliegen der Kinderklinik Glanzing. Den Umweltbelastungen durch polychlorierte Biphenyle (PCBs), Dioxine oder Furane in der Muttermilch kann niemand ausweichen, nur ein gesetzliches Verbot führte zum Rückgang dieser Schadstoffe.Zum Angstabbau der Kinder vor dem Spital etablierte die Kinderklinik Glanzing seit 1994 ein jährliches Kinderfest vor Schulschluss, 2007 mit mehr als 2500 Eltern und Kindern. Großen Stellenwert hatte die umfassende Ausbildung angehender Kinderärztinnen und Kinderärzte in allen Bereichen unseres Fachs, die durch Rotation an der eigenen Abteilung mit vielen Schwerpunkten vermittelt werden konnte.Gerade die derzeitige Situation der Covid-19-Pandemie zeigt, wie wichtig nicht nur Intensivbetten, sondern auch die Ausbildung von ausreichendem Pflege- und medizinischem Personal ist.

Performance Analysis for Uplink Transmission in User-Centric Ultra-Dense V2I Networks

User-centric ultra-dense network (UDN) has been considered a key enabler of high data rate and high reliable vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) communication. In this paper, an analytical framework is developed based on stochastic geometry to characterize the uplink V2I transmission performances, in terms of the outage probability, the average vehicle throughput and the average spatial throughput, particularly resolving two important but not well-understood factors in such networks: the spatial correlation in the interference powers among the cooperative roadside units (RSUs) as caused by the shared set of co-channel vehicles, and the combined vertical distance (CVD) owing to the lane width and the antenna height difference between the vehicle and the RSUs. Exact analytical expressions of the outage probability are derived for the general multiple association cases, a far-distance approximation method is introduced to reduce the computational complexity, and lower and upper bounds are obtained corresponding to two extreme assumptions of the spatial interference correlation. We show that the impacts of the spatial interference correlation can be significant and ignoring the correlation can lead to non-optimal system deployment, and that the far-distance approximation can approach well with the exact results. Meanwhile, although CVD diminishes the V2I uplink transmission performances, the diminution can be mitigated through RSU cooperation.

Is Co-Operation Missing in Co-Operatives? Uralungal Labour Contract Co-Operative Society Ltd. A Viable Alternative - K Gangadharan

Is Co-operation Missing in Co-operatives? India is a land of farmers. Farming is main part of Indian economy. Cultivator needs up-to-date information to take Operational, strategic and tactic decisions. These decisions directly influence on the yield and price of the agriculture product grown by the farmer. Traditionally Indian farmers take decisions based on expert judgment or their own experience. Very few farmers’ approaches agriculture offices, APMC offices and Agriculture Universities seeking latest methods and practices of farming with respect to fertiliser management, pesticide scouting management, scheduling of water, preparation of soil, selection of seed and management of weed.Due to lack of easy availability, farmers are isolated from the guidance of agriculture experts and scientists. The DSS can be implemented through Android app, web and SMS to provide the up-to-date agricultural information.Agricultural DSS can help farmers to take right decision at right time for enhancing the crop yield, get best prices to their products. This paper initially reviews various DSS in agricultural field. Considering numerous DSS developed in agriculture, we sought systems for enhancing the yield of the crop. The income of the farmer is not only depending on the yield of the crop, but it is also influenced by the price offered in the market for the grown crop. The price of agriculture product is purely depending upon the demand and supply. Most farmers incurred the losses or got substantial lower income due to unfair price for their product. Due to which many farmers have committed to suicide. The number is increasing every year. Government has framed many policies such as subsidy, agriculture insurance, offering FRP to each crop etc, in order to control suicides. This paper present need of DSS that provide the farmers with up-to-date information of present requirement of each crop in terms of cultivation area and actual cultivated area of each crop till the date. This DSS can help farmers to select appropriate crop to be is cultivated based on demand and potential supply.Finally paper concluded with a conceptual model of DSS to provide up-to-date information of present demand and potential supply of agricultural crop in order to choose the best crop to be grown. The importance and recognition of cooperative business has increased predominantly all over the globe. The underground reality for this phenomenon is the capacity and competence shown by the co-operatives to withstand in a sound edifice during the period of financial crisis and even in the recent demonetisation period. The co-operative enterprises are now treated as the basic alternatives for individual development, societal development and equity in the development of different regions. The model of co-operative enterprise developed by the ULCC in construction field, ICT enabled services, corporate social responsibility, rural development, rehabilitation process, academic intervention, skill and human resources development programme, etc. are unique in nature and it is par excellent than the corporate model done in India and European countries. The present article examines the uniqueness of the ULCC as a co-operative enterprise, its success indicators, the trend and progress as a viable co-operative unit in terms economic indicators and finally the societal commitment, responsibility and extent of justice done to the principle of co-operation as co-operation is missing in most of the co-operatives. In this context, the ULCCS act as a viable alternative fostering all the cardinal principles of co-operation in principle and in practice.

The Implementation of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) Method to Improve Pasteurized Milk Product Quality

Abstract Pasteurized milk products in Malang Regency hold a significant opportunity to be developed. The number of existing dairy farmers is a supporting factor for the producers in obtaining raw milk supplies. The X milk cooperative unit is one of the producers of pasteurized milk in Malang Regency, in addition to other dairy business competitors. The intense competition forces the X milk cooperative unit to maintain and improve the quality of its milk product to satisfy consumers' demands. The objectives of this research are to determine consumers' demand and formulate corrective actions to improve consumers' satisfaction. QFD is a method of structured product planning and development to ensure that customers' needs and demands can be accommodated in a product. The results of data processing suggest that some quality attributes of milk products that need to be improved based on their degree of importance were milk composition consistency and halal assurance from “Majelis Ulama Indonesia” (MUI) an Indonesian Ulema Council. The right composition of milk keeps the milk taste preferred by the customers consistent, the smell less fishy and the shelf life constant. The second rank attribute was registering to MUI certification, as this certification will increase the product's competitiveness. Keywords : cow milk, house of quality, quality function deployment

Limited dispersal and an unexpected aggression pattern in a native supercolonial ant.

Understanding how social groups function requires studies on how individuals move across the landscape and interact with each other. Ant supercolonies are extreme cooperative units that may consist of thousands of interconnected nests, and their individuals cooperate over large spatial scales. However, the inner structure of suggested supercolonial (or unicolonial) societies has rarely been extensively studied using both genetic and behavioral analyses. We describe a dense supercolony‐like aggregation of more than 1,300 nests of the ant Formica (Coptoformica) pressilabris. We performed aggression assays and found that, while aggression levels were generally low, there was some aggression within the assumed supercolony. The occurrence of aggression increased with distance from the focal nest, in accordance with the genetically viscous population structure we observe by using 10 DNA microsatellite markers. However, the aggressive interactions do not follow any clear pattern that would allow specifying colony borders within the area. The genetic data indicate limited gene flow within and away from the supercolony. Our results show that a Formica supercolony is not necessarily a single unit but can be a more fluid mosaic of aggressive and amicable interactions instead, highlighting the need to study internest interactions in detail when describing supercolonies.

Aplikasi Simpan Pinjam Koperasi Pada PT. Primantara Berbasis Mobile Menggunakan Algoritma FIFO

Cooperatives have a very important role at the moment, because cooperatives provide many benefits to their members. One of the goals of the operation of the cooperative is as an alternative means of borrowing money. PT. Cooperative System Primantara which is run at this time is still using book media or using Microsoft Excel. The lending process which is still done manually sometimes makes it difficult for employees to apply for loans, therefore applications are needed to overcome these problems. The savings and loan cooperative application was built using the Android and PHP programming languages with MySQL Databse and applied the FIFO algorithm to the cooperative system. By building a savings and loan cooperative application, it can facilitate cooperative units and employees so that employees do not experience difficulties when applying for loans and easily obtain information about the remaining installments. The results of this study are the application of savings and loan cooperatives which will make it easier for employees and also cooperative units in conducting transactions within the cooperative PT. Primantara.

Nomogram Model for Predicting Hematoma Expansion in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Multicenter Retrospective Study

To establish a new nomogram model and provide a new theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. The clinical data and noncontrast computed tomography images of patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in 3 tertiary medical centers were collected continuously. Univariate and binary logistic regression analysis were performed to screen out the independent predictors that were significantly associated with hematoma expansion. The nomogram model was drawn by R programming language. According to the related risk factors of nomogram, decision curve analysis and clinical impact curve were established. The numbers of the 3 cooperative units were 554, 582, and 202, respectively. Island sign, blend sign, swirl sign, intraventricular hemorrhage, history of diabetes, time to baseline computed tomography scan, and baseline hematoma volume were independent predictors of hematoma expansion. Baseline hematoma volume >20 mL (odds ratio, 4.088; 95% confidence interval, 2.802-5.964; P < 0.0001) was the most dangerous factor for predicting hematoma expansion, followed by the time to baseline computed tomography scan ≤1 hour (odds ratio, 4.188; 95% confidence interval, 2.598-6.750; P < 0.0001). Decision curve analysis showed that the net benefit of patients was the highest when nomogram score existed. When the threshold probability was >40%, the prediction probability of hematoma expansion was close to the actual probability. This nomogram model could accurately predict hematoma expansion of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, which provided a theoretical basis for clinicians to intervene in the early stage.

ТЕОРЕТИКО-МЕТОДИЧНІ ЗАСАДИ ФОРМУВАННЯ СИСТЕМИ ЦИВІЛЬНО-ВІЙСЬКОВОГО СПІВРОБІТНИЦТВА У ФОРМУВАННЯХ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ГВАРДІЇ УКРАЇНИ

The theoretical and methodological basics of the formation of a system of civil-military cooperation in the formations of the National Guard of Ukraine are considered. Brief conclusions from the analysis of foreign and domestic experience in the organization of civil-military cooperation are provided. The urgency of the development of the existing system of civil-military cooperation in the National Guard of Ukraine was emphasized. The necessity of deployment of the forces and means of civil-military cooperation during special operations (military operations) in carrying out military-service tasks to resolve armed conflicts is substantiated. The possibility of a positive impact of the deployment of a civil-military cooperation system on the effectiveness of the implementation of relevant tasks has been researched. The prospects of finding ways to increase the effectiveness of the relevant tasks execution by the formations and units of the National Guard of Ukraine during the settlement of the armed conflict by optimizing the activities of the units of civil-military cooperation are revealed.The experience of NATO missions and operations and the recent experience of the Armed Forces and the National Guard of Ukraine during execution of the Joint Forces Operation confirm that the civil-military cooperation is a powerful and effective tool in the hands of the military command. It is expedient to use this experience during the planning and implementation of civil-military cooperation activities by forming the National Guard of Ukraine. The analysis of the theoretical and methodological basics of the creation and deployment of the system of civil-military cooperation in the formations of the National Guard of Ukraine and the other military formations and components confirms the relevance of the chosen direction of perspective scientific research.

Testbed Evaluation of Distributed Radio Timing Alignment Over Ethernet Fronthaul Networks

This work investigates a mechanism for alignment of the timing on which spatially distributed and cooperative radio units transmit in radio-frequency (RF) when served over a packet-based fronthaul. It analyzes the problem by considering the imperfect clock synchronization of the radio units and the packet delay variation that fronthaul packets are subject to. Following the analysis, this paper proposes an implementation architecture for distributed RF transmission timing alignment based on synchronized triggering among radio units and centralized processing units. Throughout this discussion, special attention is given to the scheme’s impact on the overall achievable fronthaul latency. Subsequently, this work discusses both hardware and software aspects of a prototype that was developed based on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In the end, it presents results obtained on an Ethernet fronthaul testbed where the referred FPGA-based prototypes implement radio units that are synchronized using the IEEE 1588 precision time protocol or by pulse-per-second references. Results validate the functionality of the proposed architecture and illustrate various relevant choices concerning system parameters.

Co-operation of production is a way to allocate a resource for farming sector development

The agriculture reform, the establishment of a mixed economy in rural areas with various ownership forms on producers’ goods, led to the agro-industrial complex infrastructure reshaping, in particular, the resource allocation system. The organizational framework has changed radically, and the primary physical resources have moved from a centralized allocation system to horizontal connections between consumers and producers. The article describes the relations between farms, on the one hand, and inter-farm firms and associations, on the other. The article deals with the cooperative commercial farm unit relations oriented to the interfarm firms and associationsdevelopment.

Tax Competition with Intermunicipal Cooperation

We study local tax competition when municipalities can voluntarily cooperate with neighboring jurisdictions. In France, the strongest form of cooperation among municipalities occurs by forming an “establishment for inter-municipal cooperation” (EIMC). We study how interjurisdictional policy interdependence differs between competing municipalities within the same EIMC and competing municipalities outside of the cooperative unit. We apply the estimation strategy of Kelejian and Piras (2014) to resolve the endogeneity of the decision to cooperate with other municipalities. We find that strategic interactions among peer members of the same EIMC are less intense than strategic interactions with municipalities outside of the cooperative unit. Our empirical methods can be used to study strategic interactions with other cooperative groups, such as international trade agreements or firm distribution networks.

Housing wealth in Norway, 1993–20151

We provide a new estimate of household-level housing wealth in Norway between 1993 and 2015 using an ensemble machine learning method on housing transaction data. The new housing wealth measure is an improvement over existing data sources for two reasons. First, the model outperforms previously applied regression models in out-of-sample prediction precision. Second, we extend the sample of estimated housing wealth by including cooperative units, non-id apartments, and cabins.
