Paper Files Research Articles

15 years of facts and figures on veterinary disciplinary measures in the Netherlands.

In most countries, a veterinary disciplinary system is in force to ensure the quality of the veterinary profession and to offer an objective platform for complaints. We present an analysis of 15 years of veterinary disciplinary verdicts (2001-2016) to compare facts and figures and identify which factors are of major influence on the outcome of the verdicts. Rulings were collected from both paper files and the digital database of the veterinary disciplinary council (VDC), categorized, and used to create a database that enabled a statistical analysis. The results showed that complaints pertaining to companion animals are filed predominantly by owners, whereas complaints about livestock are mostly filed by the governmental civil servant (CS). CS complaints mostly address compliance issues. For the complaints made by owners (client complaints, CCs), reporting, communication, and veterinary mistakes appeared to be of statistical significance. Further studies are needed to investigate the impact of the complaints on veterinarians in general and how we can improve the veterinary disciplinary system.

Information Streams in Health Facilities: The Case of Uganda

Abstract With the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of digitally-recorded and connected health data poses a challenge for analysing the situation. Virus outbreaks, such as the current pandemic, allow for the optimisation and reuse of data, which can be beneficial in managing future outbreaks. However, there is a general lack of knowledge about the actual flow of information in health facilities, which is also the case in Uganda. In Uganda, where this case study was conducted, there is no comprehensive knowledge about what type of data is collected or how it is collected along the journey of a patient through a health facility. This study investigates information flows of clinical patient data in health facilities in Uganda. The study found that almost all health facilities in Uganda store patient information in paper files on shelves. Hospitals in Uganda are provided with paper tools, such as reporting forms, registers and manuals, in which district data is collected as aggregate data and submitted in the form of digital reports to the Ministry of Health Resource Center. These reporting forms are not digitised and, thus, not machine-actionable. Hence, it is not easy for health facilities, researchers, and others to find and access patient and research data. It is also not easy to reuse and connect this data with other digital health data worldwide, leading to the incorrect conclusion that there is less health data in Uganda. The a FAIR architecture has the potential to solve such problems and facilitate the transition from paper to digital records in the Uganda health system.

Time Window for Acute Stroke Treatment: Current Practice in King Abdullah Medical City Specialist Hospital in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.

IntroductionStroke has become one of the most severe causes of long-term neurological impairment and disability and is considered one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. This study aimed to determine time delays in stroke patients from symptoms onset to treatment with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) initiation in King Abdullah Medical City Specialist Hospital, Makkah, Saudi Arabia.Patients and methodsWe reviewed 81 patients who suffered from acute stroke. The data were collected from patients’ electronic and paper files. Patients were divided into two main categories based on interval time from recognition of symptoms to tPA treatment. Patients were divided into early treatment, if the duration was less than or equal to 120 minutes, and delayed treatment, if the interval time was more than 120 minutes.ResultsNearly two-thirds (64.2%) were males, and more than half (5.6%) were in the older age group (>65 years). Patients who underwent thrombectomy were 7.4%. The mean value of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 10.7 (SD: 7.14). The mean time from symptoms onset to arrival at the hospital was 82.4 (SD: 44.1) minutes, while the total time from recognition of symptoms to tPA treatment was 154 (SD: 50.8) minutes. The prevalence of patients with delayed treatment was 72.8%, and the rest were assumed to have early treatment (27.2%). None of the socio-demographic variables were predicted to influence delayed treatment.ConclusionA significant number of patients were delayed in treatment. Patients' socio-demographic data and NIHSS scores seem to have no significant effect on delayed treatment. Further research is needed to establish the delay in time for pre-hospital and in-hospital treatment of stroke patients.

Detecting non-natural language artifacts for de-noising bug reports

Textual documents produced in the software engineering process are a popular target for natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval (IR) approaches. However, issue tickets often contain artifacts such as code snippets, log outputs and stack traces. These artifacts not only inflate the issue ticket sizes, but also can this noise constitute a real problem for some NLP approaches, and therefore has to be removed in the pre-processing of some approaches. In this paper, we present a machine learning based approach to classify textual content into natural language and non-natural language artifacts at line level. We show how data from GitHub issue trackers can be used for automated training set generation, and present a custom preprocessing approach for the task of artifact removal. The training sets are automatically created from Markdown annotated issue tickets and project documentation files. We use these generated training sets to train a Markdown agnostic model that is able to classify un-annotated content. We evaluate our approach on issue tickets from projects written in C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, and Python. Our approach achieves ROC-AUC scores between 0.92 and 0.96 for language-specific models. A multi-language model trained on the issue tickets of all languages achieves ROC-AUC scores between 0.92 and 0.95. The provided models are intended to be used as noise reduction pre-processing steps for NLP and IR approaches working on issue tickets.

PB2219: A REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE WITH HEALTHCARE RESOURCE UTILIZATION PATTERNS AND RELATED COSTS IN PATIENTS WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE IN NORTH LEBANON

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) remains associated with high healthcare resource utilization (HRU), despite a reduction in morbidity and mortality associated with the use of disease-modifying therapies, mostly because of vaso-occlusive crises (VOC). In Lebanon, there are limited national estimates on HRU, cost of medical care, and treatment expenditures for patients with SCD. A better understanding of these estimates may provide new perspectives to improve access to high-quality cost-effective health care services. Aims: Aim of our study is to evaluate patterns of HRU and related cost in a cohort of patients with SCD receiving care in a Comprehensive SCD referral center at NINI hospital in North Lebanon. Methods: An observational, non-interventional, retrospective study of 136 patients (54.4% females) with confirmed diagnosis of SCD was conducted in North Lebanon. Data on HRU, including ED visits, ambulatory visits, and hospitalizations, was collected in a patient health information (PHI)-anonymized format from patients’ paper and electronic medical files, as well as hospital and ED files, from May 1, 2018 to April 30, 2020. Uncomplicated VOCs were defined as pain crises, whereas complicated VOCs were defined as acute chest syndrome, acute splenic sequestration, acute hepatic sequestration or priapism. The annual rate of HRU visits was calculated as a ratio of the total number of visits to the total number of years of follow-up across all patients. Based on the available data, the average yearly cost was determined as the ratio of the total cost of these visits to the total number of years of follow-up. Results: The median age of patients in this study was 10.8 years (IQR 5.3 to 19.6 years) at the time of investigation. Majority of patients were diagnosed with SS (72.1%) and Sβ0 (21.3%) genotype across all age groups. The most prevalent SCD-related complications were pain crisis (90.4%), fever (43.4%), acute chest syndrome (33.1%), and acute splenic sequestration (22.8%). Most of hospitalizations, ICU visits, and ED visits in adult patients (age >16 years) were due to uncomplicated VOCs. The average annual costs of HRU were 8,270,920 Lebanese pounds (LBP) amounting to 5,514 USD (per patient per year) of which 92.1% was for hospitalizations, 4% for ED visits and 3.9% for ambulatory visits. Uncomplicated VOCs had the highest annual costs for ED, ICU and hospitalizations. Costs related to medications, diagnostics, non-hematologist medical consults, uncompensated care and lost productivity are not included in this analysis. Analgesics, folic acid and hydroxyurea were the most commonly prescribed drugs across all age categories, with hydroxyurea being prescribed to 84% of patients. Image:Summary/Conclusion: SCD and associated complications resulted in significant acute HRU, according to this real world study. VOCs continues to be most important factor for resource use, ICU admission and costs, with hospitalizations accounting for majority of annual costs. Despite the high HRU rate in this relatively young SCD cohort, the cost of HRU in a comprehensive setting with effective outpatient management as that in North Lebanon appears affordable for the health care system. However when additional SCD related and non SCD related costs of care are factored in, the economic burden of SCD care is likely to be far higher than the figures presented here.

Virtual Queuing Ration Distribution in Cloud Environment

Ration shops are one of the main food product supply centers of Government. has an insignificant amount of goods, theft of material, large waiting time in the ration store and they keep all records in big paper file. This project is execute to overcome the obstacle that exist in the current distribution system. Ration cards are replaced with the smart card in which all the required information (name, contact number, aadhar number) are saved. Once the materials are delivered to the shops by government, through the websites or SMS all customer are asked to collect the ration.The customer checks the availability of products through the website to choose products as per their card type. Then customer will receive OTP to confirm order. Then the controller checks the customer code and details which is stored in database. Once the authentication of the customer is done, then the collecting time will send through SMS. The exact amount of food grains is extracted immediately and as soon as the ration is dispensed email notification is sent to the customer’s mobile.

The Abitur as a bureaucratic phenomenon: on the history of a Prussian examination practice and its ritualised inscription (1890–1970)

ABSTRACT This paper describes the Berlin Abitur examination in the twentieth century and its written documentation in files. By the late nineteenth century, the Abitur examination was fully established in Prussia and with it a graduation certificate that was obligatory for university entrance. Thus, the Abitur examination was part of the modern state entitlement system and an instrument to establish the state education monopoly. Thereafter, in every secondary school a new file was compiled for each class that took the exam every year. The resulting records provide a unique insight into the history of examination procedures. This article seeks to discuss the question of the Abitur files being simply products of bureaucratisation and rationalisation of examination practices at secondary schools, and the extent to which there was a ritualisation of the examination on paper. The building processes of the Abitur examination files in the twentieth century are reconstructed on the basis of a representative school archive located in Berlin.

Data-Driven Platform Framework for Digital Whole-Process Expressway Construction Management.

To increase the speed and efficiency of expressways construction, information management is being gradually introduced into the construction process. However, progress is limited due to the complexity of expressway engineering and application limitations of information technology. Design and delivery are still dominated by paper files, and the management of test and inspection data is still relatively extensive. Research to date into digital expressway construction has been piecemeal and fragmented with a lack of research related to the whole construction process and a data-centric information management system yet to be realized. In response, through literature research and semi-structured interviews, the framework of a data-driven digital whole-process highway construction management platform was determined. A whole process management platform was established according to the framework, and the functional application of the proposed platform was explained through a case. The framework is proposed from the perspective of the whole process of collaborative sharing., which provides a new way of thinking to solve the problems existing in the current field of expressway construction whole-process management. It also provides data-centric management, electronic design and delivery, a refined workflow, and an efficient management process.

Transfer pricing and local file documentation from the perspective of tax law

Transfer pricing is an important issue for related companies and their accounting. Capital groups use transfer pricing to share revenue or as a form of control. However, tax authorities have recognised the risk of related companies using transfer pricing for tax avoidance. Therefore, the topic of transfer pricing is inextricably linked to the Arm’s Length Principle and the market value of transactions as such. To counteract possible tax avoidance, rules have been established to control transactions that may lead to such abuse, both domestically and internationally. The objective of the case study described in the article is to demonstrate that transactions between affiliated entities, and more specifically the sale of programming services by ABC PL to its parent company was made according to the Arm’s Length Principle. The transfer pricing applied in the transactions made in 2020 was analysed by accounting for applicable regulations, including changes introduced in 2019 by the amendment of the Corporate Income Tax Act.

A Study of Former Japanese Prime Minister Abe’s Speaking Style in 2020: Listener-Oriented or Speaker-Oriented?

Generally speaking, politicians sometimes communicate in a manner that may be considered untrue or even inappropriate in various political situations. One reason for this is the simple but crucial fact that politicians often talk in a manner that is excessively focused on themselves rather than on their listeners. Political officials, it seems, really enjoy talking about what they plan to do and accomplish during their tenure, but less so about what the general public really wants to hear. Speaking more about themselves and less about their constituents, demonstrates that many politicians are clearly speaker-oriented and not listener-oriented. Japan’s former Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, is an example of a politician who often uses a speaker-oriented approach. Through the lens of speaker versus listener orientation, this paper examines Abe’s speaking style in various contexts, including Abe’s comments during several political scandals, as well as Abe’s speeches to constituents and global audiences. By studying Abe’s communication style, we find that politicians may maximize their effectiveness when they orient their speech to listeners, instead of focusing on themselves. The primary data for this study comes from the National Diet Session documentation files provided by the Japanese government, as well as major newspaper articles. Keywords: Japan, listener-oriented, solidarity, speaker-oriented, speech orientation
