A-188 Managing a Fully-automated Paperless Laboratory During a Cyber-attack

Abstract Background On 23rd Nov, 2022 a tertiary care apex medical institute in India was subject to cyberattack which disrupted the Hospital Information system (HIS) and the Laboratory Information system (LIS) servers. The services from the SmartLab, an end-to-end integrated total-lab-automation system, designed to run on paperless mode got disrupted. This is the main service laboratory with an average daily sample load of approx. 5000 including hematology, coagulation, clinical chemistry, immunoassays and serology services. Methods All lab operations were immediately shifted to manual mode. Standard operating protocols (SOPs) were designed for manual processing and circulated to OPD and IPD staff through WhatsApp. Instructions were issued to use previously used paper test-request-forms (TRFs) for sending samples. Previous stock of TRFs were retrieved from Stores and distributed to the IPD and OPDs. Staff from other areas of the hospital were mobilized.In OPD sample collection area, patients’ registrations were done by writing Patient-Id, Name, Age, Sex, Sample-Id, Treating department and Test requests in registers. A small sticker was introduced and pasted on the blood collection tubes capturing minimal relevant patient details, treating department codes and sample Id. Duplicates were pasted on OPD cards of respective patients. Traceability of patient Ids and sample Ids were maintained through data entry in registers. In the lab, the LIS were shut down on a precautionary note. Test requests corresponding to each sample Id were programmed directly on the analyzers. When done, print-outs of test results were obtained from the analyzers and hand-written results were entered by data entry operators on the TRFs. Reports were then segregated as per the treating department codes and dispatched to respective places. This continued till partial restoration of HIS services on and from 12th December, 2023. Results Despite best efforts, turn-around-time (TAT) for reports got compromised. IPD reports were prioritized and about 60% of the same could be dispatched by 9 PM same day, rest being delivered by 9 AM, next morning. TAT for OPD reports stretched up to 36 h. Inspite of introducing separate numbering systems with codes for different OPDs and IPDs, about 40% reports could not be traced to the respective OPDs. These reports were collected by the patients’ attendants from the lab itself. Manual report retrieval counters were set up outside the lab. At least 20% reports of the approx. 3000 reports generated per day remained unclaimed even after 30 days. The utilization of lab services also came down by 20%–25% during this period. About 5% reports had to be repeated with fresh samples due to inability to retrieve previous reports. The data generated during this 20-days period could not be stored electronically and hence are not available in our database now. Conclusion Cyberattacks may happen to any institution. Having a strict cyber-security protocol is a must for all institutions. However, having a back-up plan for handling such a crisis should be also in place in case of any eventuality. Sharing our experience is an endeavour to create awareness regarding the prerequisites of such a plan.

A Case Study on Records Management Practices of the Open University of Sri Lanka

Records management plays a significant role in universities in effectively delivering programmes for the students, carrying out research activities, and performing all the administrative functions of the University while ensuring the quality of those services and operations. The study was carried out at the Open University of Sri Lanka with the main objective of evaluating the current records management practices adopted by the Open University of Sri Lanka and suggesting potential improvements needed for enhancing the effectiveness of records management practices. The study used the life cycle model in discussing records management procedures adopted by the Open University of Sri Lanka in its service delivery. The qualitative research method was used, taking both primary and secondary data. The primary data were mainly collected through observations and personnel experiences, and secondary data were obtained from internal university records. The study documented the records management practices followed by the Open University of Sri Lanka in compliance with the records life cycle theory. The study detailed the records numbering system adopted by the Open University of Sri Lanka which is an essential process to retrieve records effectively for different institutional purposes. Lack of awareness and proper raining on records management practices among staff members, lack of adequate resources to support records management practices, inadequate documentation and accessibility to documents on records management policies, regulations of the university, and absence of online centralized records management practices are the main challenges faced by the university in performing records management practices. Based on the challenges, the study suggested several improvements needed to be initiated at the university level to ensure an effective records management process.

Number Plate Detection in an Image

Automatic Vehicle license plate detection and recognition is a key technique in most of traffic related applications and is an active research topic in the image processing domain. Different methods, techniques and algorithms have been developed for license plate detection and recognitions. Due to the varying characteristics of the license plate like numbering system, colors, style and sizes of license plate, When detection and recognition are two separate jobs, which also results in a huge number of factors, there is an issue with identification. So,further research is still needed in this area. We propose a unified convolutional neural network (CNN) and the F1 score as metrics in a deep learning project for picture categorization which can localize license plates and recognize the letters. We work on license plate recognition and segments characters in the license plate firstly, and then recognizes each segmented character using Optical Character Recognition(OCR)techniques. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness and the efficiency of our proposed approach.

An Insight in the Beauty of the Fibonacci

Mathematics and architecture have strong logical interconnections. Ratios are good examples of their interconnectivity. Without mathematics, it is hard to believe the existence of science and arts. It is not an exaggeration to say that mathematics is everywhere. Nature is beautiful due to the proper ratios of various components in them and in relation to others. The Fibonacci sequence is one of nature’s numbering systems. It is abundant in nature. It has a close relationship with the golden ratio. Golden ratios and such Fibonacci numbers are found to be used in designing logos, magazine covers, plastic surgery, to name a few. These two are two fascinating topics for mathematicians, artists, natural scientists, and philosophers. This work presents a panoramic view of the Fibonacci numbers, and the Fibonacci sequences; their mathematical presentations, patterns, properties, and beauty.

Stochastic analysis of infinite particle systems—A new development in classical stochastic analysis and dynamical universality of random matrices

We examine the stochastic dynamics of infinite particle systems moving in R d \mathbb {R}^{d} . The classical stochastic analysis pursues the stochastic dynamics of a single particle. We explain how to extend the classical stochastic analysis when the object becomes an infinite particle system. The equilibrium states of a system of infinite number of particles resulting from random matrices have the logarithmic function as an interaction potential. Hence, we develop a theory that applies to interaction potentials having a dominating influence over long distances. As an application, we show that the universality of point processes related to random matrices holds for stochastic dynamics.

Constraint Qualification with Schauder Basis for Infinite Programming Problems

We consider infinite programming problems with constraint sets defined by systems of infinite number of inequalities and equations given by continuously differentiable functions defined on Banach spaces. In the approach proposed here we represent these systems with the help of coefficients in a given Schauder basis. We prove Abadie constraint qualification under the new infinite-dimensional Relaxed Constant Rank Constraint Qualification Plus and we discuss the existence of Lagrange multipliers via Hurwicz set. The main tools are: Rank Theorem and Lyusternik–Graves theorem.

Experimental optimization of cutting conditions to improve surface roughness of aeronautic parts made of Fe-Ni alloys

Fe-Ni alloys present excellent heat resistance properties while preserving their rigidity, strength, toughness, and dimensional stability at high temperatures. As a result, they are widely used in manufacturing aerospace or aeronautic parts where the operating temperature is very close to their melting temperature. Supra50 (named in the Unified Numbering System UNS as K94800) is a Fe-Ni alloy currently used in space and aviation industries, which confirmed its efficiency. However, improving the surface roughness of this high-precision part is challenging to overcome in manufacturing. The main objective of this study is to carry out an experiment based on a factorial plan and aims to predict the surface roughness of Supra50 parts as a function of cutting parameters in a milling process. Results show that the best combination of cutting parameters, giving the best surface roughness, is obtained at the lowest value of feed per tooth. Results also show that cutting speed and radial depth have little effect on roughness quality.

Dissemination of the Importance of Numbering Medical Records at the Parak Karakah Padang Health Center

Puskesmas is a health service facility that organizes community health efforts and first level individual health efforts. The medical record is a record or record of who, what, why, when and how services are provided to patients during the treatment period. The family folder is a record of health conditions. Family folder is a record of health conditions, as a result of health problems or diseases that are stored in one medical record document folder. The medical record storage system is one of the most important factors in health care institutions. Because the storage system can facilitate medical record files stored in storage racks, speed up retrieval or retrieval of stored medical record files Purpose of numbering medical records Facilitate search of medical record files or documents when patients then come back for treatment at health care facilities as well as for continuity information, by using a numbering system, the information can be sequential and minimize lost information.

Dialogicity as an educational practice with significant social implications

In this paper we explore the concept of dialogicity, taking a workshop offered to in-service indigenous teachers as a reference. This concept has been explored for decades in the academic literature. In recent years, it has gained greater importance, as official curricula in several countries have emphasized the importance of developing education that is more centered on the needs of learners. Although the general guidelines of these curricula are defined, the exercise of dialogue in classrooms involves the challenge of balancing the formal requirements of the various fields of knowledge with the students' own interests. Thus, in most cases, researchers examine dialogues in the classroom, verifying the extent to which teachers allow students to express themselves on issues specific to school knowledge. In this sense, it is still not the students’ existential questions that prevail, since the most valued results of the dialogues are already defined in advance. Such results will be related to the domain of school contents. Would it be possible to approach formal education in other ways? Would it be possible to prioritize questions raised by students? These are present challenges for educators who propose to approach teaching from a socially centered perspective. The workshop described in this paper constitutes an example of dialogicity exercised from an existential questioning formulated by the participating teachers. Such questioning was related to the creation of a numbering system that would suit their mother tongue. In that context, it can be inferred that there has been progress in the sense of understanding school practice as a possibility of broadening perceptions of the world through serious consideration of the needs formulated by the learners.

The Death Penalty in the XXI Century

In relation to imprisonment and fines, which occupy a central place in most modern systems of criminal sanctions, there are still deep cross-sectional opinions of legal theorists and public opinion on the justification of the existence of the death penalty. Although in the last few decades it has been deleted from the punishment system in a large number of countries, at the same time the death penalty still exists in the criminal legislation of countries around the world. What do the latest statistics say about the number of death sentences carried out at the world level, how does the death penalty exist in criminal legislation where it exists and for which crimes it can be imposed, on the basis of which legal mechanisms it was abolished where it no longer exists, what are the arguments legal theorists who are still advocating for the abolition of this punishment and what are the justifications of its advocates, what forms of execution exist today, these are all questions whose answers will be addressed within the topic of this report.

The reference apparatus in the bible of Matthew the tenth (1502–1507)

In the second half of the 15th century, a reference apparatus began to be actively developed in Cyrillic manuscripts. This apparatus included prefaces and tables of contents to parts of books, as well as headers, footers, and marginal instructions containing the numbers and titles of chapters, footnotes, and glosses. It served as an aid for navigating a large volume. At the beginning of the 16th century, Matthew the Tenth compiled a Bible while living in Vilnius and Suprasl Monastery. A scribe not only made extensive use of those elements of the reference apparatus that were included in the manuscripts before him, but also significantly developed the reference system for numbering verses, chapters, and pericopes of the biblical text. Numbering became one of the main tools in Matthew the Tenth’s reference apparatus, and up to three or four different numberings could be used on one folio. In an effort to differentiate them, Matthew the Tenth made use of different colors of ink and unusual numbering systems, including both numerals from non-Cyrillic alphabets (Greek and Glagolitic) and numeral systems of his own invention. An additional tool in the reference apparatus of Matthew the Tenth was the system of footnotes which are placed in the margins and use special signs. For this, the scribe used his own system of footnotes which was designed on the basis of musical notation signs.The Bible of Matthew the Tenth, the predecessor to the biblical editions of Francysk Skaryna, shows how quickly and in what an unusual manner the reference apparatus was developed in the late 15th – first half of the 16th century.

Effect of data size on tooth numbering performance via artificial intelligence using panoramic radiographs.

This study aims to investigate the effect of number of data on model performance, for the detection of tooth numbering problem on dental panoramic radiographs, with the help of image processing and deep learning algorithms. The data set consists of 3000 anonymous dental panoramic X-rays of adult individuals. Panoramic X-rays were labeled on the basis of 32 classes in line with the FDI tooth numbering system. In order to examine the relationship between the number of data used in image processing algorithms and model performance, four different datasets which include 1000, 1500, 2000 and 2500 panoramic X-rays, were used. The training of the models was carried out with the YOLOv4 algorithm and trained models were tested on a fixed test dataset with 500 data and compared based on F1 score, mAP, sensitivity,precision and recall metrics. The performance of the model increased as the number of data used during the training of the model increased. Therefore, the last model trained with 2500 data showed the highest success among all the trained models. Dataset size is important for dental enumeration, and large samples should be considered as more reliable.

Poster 200: Earlier Evaluation by an Orthopaedic Surgeon Is Associated with Higher Return to Work Among Workers’ Compensation Patients Undergoing Shoulder Arthroscopy

Objectives: Workers’ compensation (WC) patients represent a large expenditure to the health care system and account for a large number of missed work days. Studies have shown that WC patients are less likely to return to work after injury or surgery. The purpose of our study was to determine if there was a higher return to full duty among WC patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery when they were seen by an orthopaedic surgeon within 100 days of injury. Methods: After obtaining Institutional Review Board approval, a retrospective chart review was conducted of WC patients treated with arthroscopic shoulder surgery by 2 senior authors at a community hospital between 2011 and 2018. WC patients that were treated with arthroscopic shoulder surgery were identified using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes 29806, 29807, 29819, 29820, 29821, 29822, 29823, 29824, 29825, 29826, 29827, and 29828. Patients were excluded if they were polytrauma patients who had undergone surgical procedures in other locations, patients who had a fracture, and patients being treated with revision shoulder surgery. A total of 59 WC patients were included in the study and were followed up to 2 years post-operatively. WC patients who identified as laborers were divided into 2 groups. The first group was evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon within 100 days of injury (early orthopaedic evaluation) and the second group was evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon more than 100 days after injury (late orthopaedic evaluation). The primary outcomes included the length of time from injury to evaluation by an orthopaedic surgeon and from surgery to return to work in some form. Results: Early orthopaedic evaluation was associated with a higher rate of return to full duty (p=0.02). The early orthopaedic evaluation group had a 69% (25 out of 36) return to full duty while the late orthopaedic evaluation group had a return to full duty of 39% (9 out of 23). There was no significant difference in the rate of return to work in some form with the early orthopaedic evaluation group returning at 94% (34 out of 36) and the late orthopaedic evaluation group returning at 83% (19 out of 23). There was a moderate association between time to evaluation by an orthopaedic surgeon following injury and time to return to work in some form (r=.22). There was no significant difference between the groups with respect to the type of laborer (p=.128). Conclusions: WC patients who were evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon within 100 days of injury had a higher likelihood of return to full duty as well as return to work in some form compared to WC patients who were evaluated by an orthopaedic surgeon more than 100 days after injury.

The Communal Democracy of Yogyakarta Special Region’s Government on the Islamic Law Eclecticism Perspective

Law Number 13 of the Year 2012 on Yogyakarta Special Region’s privileges containing a legal affirmative democracy system leads to the weakening of democracy and has implications for non-substantive democracy. It furthermore reflects the normative ambiguity of the democratic system which legitimizes Yogyakarta’s privileged affairs. Therefore, this research aims to analyze Yogyakarta’s privileged affairs based on Islamic Law Eclecticism by reconstructing the democratic system in Law Number 13. Using the normative-doctrinal method accompanied by statutory and conceptual approaches, this research used the content analysis method and legal descriptive techniques. This research shows that the democratic system of DIY is crystallized and simultaneously presented in the form of the Trilogy of Yogyakarta Democratic Principles. Those consist of ngencengke oyot, ngencengke pang, and njagani godhong lan kembang. Based on this, the reconstruction of the democratic system of Yogyakarta’s privilege affairs leads to communal democracy as a form of revitalizing its privilege affairs. Besides, that trilogy, based on Islamic Law Eclecticisms, refers to the interconnection of maqâṣid al-syarī’ah cum-rechtsidee and al-‘urf. The reconstruction of the democratic system in Law Number 13 potentially revitalizes Yogyakarta’s privileged affairs by making local wisdom its core value.

On safe offshore energy exploration in the Gulf of Eilat

AbstractGulf of Eilat is rich with energy resources, however any industrial natural resource development requires additional safety, as local eco‐system has to be preserved. In contrast to bivariate reliability approaches, known to their accurate predictions of extreme response and load levels for two‐dimensional dynamic systems, this study suggests and validates novel structural reliability method, which is being appropriate method for high‐dimensional dynamic systems. Conventional reliability methods do not have an advantage of dealing easily with high‐dimensional nonlinear dynamic systems, especially with non‐linear cross‐correlations between different system components. Advocated approach does not have limitations on the system's number of degrees of freedom, and it can accurately assess dynamic system's failure risks. Main purpose of this study was to benchmark state‐of‐the‐art reliability methodology, while utilizing available dataset efficiently. Note that advocated approach is not limited to offshore engineering example, studied here, and it has wide range of potential engineering and design applications.

Die Baumstruktur des Tractatus: Genesis, Lesarten, Editionen

Abstract Tree-Structured Readings of the Tractatus : I argue that the numbering system of the Tractatus lets us see how it was constructed, in two closely related senses of that term. First, it tells us a great deal about the genesis of the book, for the numbering system was used to assemble and rearrange a series of drafts, as recorded in MS 104. Second, it helps us understand the structure of the published book, as cryptically summarized in the opening footnote. I also discuss an unpublished letter from Anscombe to von Wright from 1948 which contains the very first sketch of a tree-structured reading, and what I believe is Stenius’s response to Anscombe’s proposal. The paper critically evaluates previous work on tree-structured readings and contends that we need to read the Tractatus in both the number order used in the published book and the tree order that Wittgenstein used to draft it. It also considers some of the main ways of turning this complex branching structure into a linear, printed text, and so serves as an introduction to the three tree-structured editions of the Tractatus that accompany the original English-language publication of this paper in NWR 11 (the German text, and the translations by Ogden & Ramsey and Pears & McGuinness).

The Aramaic Inscription from a Cave Complex at Abraham’s House, Mount of Olives and the Hasmonean Calendar—A New Reading and Interpretation

Abstract This article presents a new reading and interpretation of the Aramaic burial inscription from the “Abraham’s House” complex. Rather than representing a curse, we propose that the inscription records the year in which the loculus was completed. Moreover, we suggested that year 99 is counted not from Hyrcanus’ death but rather from the time of his accession to high public office, either as king or as high priest. The use of a continuous numbering system extending back to a foundation date rather than the regnal years of an individual ruler is paralleled by the Seleucid calendar, and also echoes traditions found in Hebrew and Greek sources that such a system was current amongst the Hasmoneans. The identity of Hyrcanus and the implications for the dating of the inscription are also discussed.

Analysis of rescattering effects in 3pi final states

Decays into three particles are often described in terms of two-body resonances and a non-interacting spectator particle. To go beyond this simplest isobar model, crossed-channel rescattering effects need to be accounted for. We quantify the importance of these rescattering effects in three-pion systems for different decay masses and angular-momentum quantum numbers. We provide amplitude decompositions for four decay processes with total J^{PC} = 0^{--}, 1^{--}, 1^{-+}, and 2^{++}, all of which decay predominantly as rho pi states. Two-pion rescattering is described in terms of an Omnès function, which incorporates the rho resonance. Inclusion of crossed-channel effects is achieved by solving the Khuri–Treiman integral equations. The unbinned log-likelihood estimator is used to determine the significance of the rescattering effects beyond two-body resonances; we compute the minimum number of events necessary to unambiguously find these in future Dalitz-plot analyses. Kinematic effects that enhance or dilute the rescattering are identified for the selected set of quantum numbers and various masses.
