Understanding the Landscape of Consultation Liaison Psychologists in Academic Medical Centers.

Current literature lacks data related to the role of psychologists on consultation-liaison (CL) services; previous data indicates only 4% of CL services are run by psychologists, while 32% of liaison mental health services include a psychologist. As CL psychologists' roles within hospitals grow, it is critical to identify clinical strategies and organizational structures of CL services across hospital systems. The current study seeks to provide a deeper understanding of CL psychologists' scope of work. Participants (N = 77) (15% response rate) completed a measure developed for this study, exploring psychologist roles, clinical practice, and departmental structures. Thirty-two percent of respondents were in Psychiatry Departments, 58% were in academic medical centers, almost half had training programs and the most frequently utilized billing code was: Given the limited data available, this study provided a contemporary and foundational understanding of the CL psychologist roles as well as future avenues of empirical inquiry such as discrete organization and structural characteristics.

Improvement of Personnel, Education and Working Environments via Surveying the Status of Personnel in 119 Emergency Operation Centers

Excluding the Sejong Fire Department Headquarters, visitations to 119 emergency operations centers in 17 cities and provinces across the country were conducted as of 2022 to assess the improvements in personnel arrangements, scope of work, and status of education and training after the placement of situation rooms. On-site visitations were conducted to 119 emergency operation centers in Seoul and 119 emergency operation centers in Busan. Interviews with security personnel participating in the study, such as emergency operation center managers and team leaders, were conducted at the 119 functional emergency operation centers. The status of the deployment, personnel matters, education and training in the operations center, and working conditions were assessed. The following improvements were suggested: The 119 emergency operation centers must be designated as heavy duty departments, provide personnel with the same or higher points as other departments, and provide training and comprehensive evaluation using common practice and simulations on the 119 Emergency Management Standard Response Manual of the National Fire Agency. In addition, working conditions, such as additional personnel points related to promotions, resolution of malicious complaints, difficulty adapting to sleep patterns, the need for psychological treatment, and lack of manpower, must be improved. The results suggest the benefits of operating 112 police emergency operation centers must be introduced.

Market Risk in Project Finance: Approaches to Review and Minimisation

Relevance. Development of an investment project is commonly associated with many risks, and one of the most significant risks is a market risk i.e. is a possible failure to achieve prices, volumes and sales projected in total compared to those planned in the business plan and financial model of a project. Modern literature pays not enough attention to many relevant and practical issues of the market risk (i.e. is a possible failure to achieve prices, volumes and sales projected) review and reduction in the project finance and investment review, as well as to issues of work with independent marketing consultants, possible areas and ways for risk reduction and quality improvement.Purpose. The previous article considered approaches to understanding significance of the market risk and measures to deal with the risk in the review of price forecasts for an investment project. This article is supposed to consider the issues of risk reduction by organising optimal work with an independent consultant on these issues.Objectives. It is supposed to consider the possibility of engaging an independent marketing consultant, the requirements to the consultant by the financing organisation or investor, to provide an example of detailed scope of work for the independent analysis, give examples of comments to the marketing report and proposed measures to adjust the analysis in the report. It is also necessary to consider approaches to the use of the financial model in order to reduce market risk effects in project financing.Methodology. Methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction as well as modelling are used in the article.Results. The article considers two major issues related to the accounting for or reduction of the market risks in the development of investment projects and providing project finance: the range of questions regarding working with a marketing consultant in order to decrease market risk effects is discussed, examples of requirements to the consultant and potential scope of work as well as some possible errors examples are given; author discusses instruments for considering these risks in financial model, including increased required levels for liquidity and debt service ratios in case of high risks and uncertainties.Conclusion. The market risk is one of the key risks in the development of an investment project and project review in project finance. A set of measures is needed to reduce and account for the risk. Proper application of these and other reasonable measures should enable project initiators and sponsors to ensure their successful development and compliance with the debt service schedule to third-party lenders.

Rationalization of the scope of work: evaluation of imbalances and opportunities of multi-tasking

The purpose of this undertaking was to determine the imbalances and opportunities of multitasking of teachers in their workplace. Teachers have one of the most important jobs in the world. They fill in the shoes of too many different professions like a parent, disciplinarian, judge, administrator, academic experts, mentor, and more, and probably all-time. It’s no secret that our teachers get so many things done that it’s no wonder that they’ve become experts in multitasking. This study evaluates the imbalances and opportunities of multitasking of 60 teachers handled general education and major subject. Purposive surveys a descriptive quantitative and qualitative method was applied survey and interviews will be conducted; to rationalize the scope of work, were employed as research instruments to collect responses on imbalances and opportunities of multitasking. The research findings showed the majority of teachers strongly agreed with the opportunities of multitasking in terms of Integration of Diverse Work, and imparting knowledge to co-instructor. It further revealed that most of the respondents that practice multitasks were men. To divert the emphasis on the imbalances of multitasking, the administration should be able to motivate instructor in terms of giving honoraria to those who extend their working hours and acknowledging them also during the ceremonial events.

DELEGATION OF MEDICAL ACTION AUTHORITY OF DOCTORS TO NURSES IN HEALTH SERVICES IN EMERGENCY DEPARTMENTS: EMPIRICAL LEGAL

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the implementation of the delegation of authority of medical actions of doctors to nurses in the emergency department and explore the legal responsibility of the delegation of authority of medical actions of doctors to nurses in the emergency department in Indonesia.   Theoretical Fremework: Theoretically, this research is expected to contribute intellectually and academically to the enhancement of understanding of healthcare laws for healthcare practitioners, institutional leaders, and to provide a sense of security and protection in carrying out healthcare services functions to the community, especially in the provision of medical procedures at healthcare facilities. Additionally, it is expected to provide practical insights for the goverment, hospital directors, and health departments in order to improve healthcare services to the public and ensure legal protection for healthcare workers in carrying out their professional duties.   Method: The type of research method used is empirical legal research. Data primarily obtained from respondents using a list of questions (questionnaire) and direct interviews with the research object.

Medical and healthcare services, consisting of both mandatory delegation. The scope of work delegated through partnership must be clearly and specifically defined in writing within the authority delegation letter and adjusted according to the level of competence of the nurse. The doctor as the delegator and the nurse as the recipient of medical authority there are also responsibilities of the hospital, as well as the central and local governments, especially in meeting the national needs for medical and healthcare personnel. In handling medical dispute cases, law enforcement agencies must prioritize the mechanism of restorative justice. If no agreement is reached, the dispute is then taken over by the professional disciplinary board under the Ministry of Health to determine whether there has been any violation of professional discipline by medical and healthcare personnel.   Conclusions: 1) Delegation of authority for doctor’s medical actions to nurses in health services in emergency departments in Indonesia, regulated in Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health Article 290, Minister of Health Regulation No. 2052 of 2011 Article 23 and Minister of Health Decree No. HK.01.07-425 of 2020 concerning Nursing Professional Standards; 2) Responsibilities by doctors, nurses, and hospitals regarding the delegation of authority for doctors’ medical actions to nurses in health services in emergency departments must be carried out by laws.

REDCap to Epic interfaces create an efficient hybrid software solution for a public health registry.

A public health registry and intervention was created in response to the Flint water crisis to identify and refer exposed individuals to public health services to ameliorate the deleterious impact of lead exposure. Traditional technology architecture domains, funded scope of work, as well as community input were considered when defining the requirements of the selected solutions. A hybrid software solution was created using Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) to deploy an open participant survey and bypass requirements to create user accounts, and Epic to manage deduplication and participant communication and tracking. To bridge the two software systems, REDCap to Epic unidirectional ADT and Documentation Flowsheet interfaces were built to automate creation of subject records in Epic identical to those created in REDCap and to copy key protocol-driving variables from REDCap to Epic. The interfaces were critical to deliver a successful hybrid solution in which the desired features of each software could be leveraged to satisfy specific protocol requirements and community input. Data from the start of survey administration (December 2018) through 31 December 2020 are reported to demonstrate the usefulness of the interfaces.

Healthcare institution efficiency: Meta-analysis and case study

The article analyses the factors that influence the efficiency of a medical institution. The VOSviewer bibliometric analysis allowed to identify four main clusters that determine the dominant areas of scientific research related to the topic of the medical institution efficiency. The largest cluster was the one describing the relationships between factors that directly determine the healthcare facility efficiency (decision-making, use of information technologies (artificial intelligence, blockchain, Internet of Things, etc.), effectiveness of solving medical problems of patients, etc.) The second largest cluster combines research areas related to the organisation, management, standardisation, audit, professional development, quality and productivity in healthcare facilities. The third and fourth clusters are related to the service and resource components in ensuring the efficiency of a medical institution, respectively. The article presents various approaches to classifying performance indicators of a medical institution: by type of performance, by form, by costs, by measurement of results, by scope of work, by stages. The national approaches to the medical industry development in the UK, Ukraine and Germany are analysed. The mechanisms for decentralising the management of medical institutions, increasing their autonomy, productivity and quality of medical services are described on the example of Ukraine. Using the pattern of a typical medical institution in a small city of Ukraine, the mechanisms for increasing efficiency are analysed: in terms of staffing, patient care, financing, corporate culture, patient-centeredness, and control over financial flows separately for each level of medical care. Priority steps to improve the infrastructure support of the subject of analysis, possible measures to improve the quality of medical services, the preferred resources for financing the planned measures, the implementation period and the expected results of proposed measures are identified. From the theoretical point of view, this article deepens knowledge about the nature of the medical institution efficiency. From a practical point of view, recommendations and ways to improve the medical institution efficiency make it possible to form a roadmap for promising changes. Their implementation will increase the primary healthcare facility efficiency and ensure a vivid rise in the medical provision efficiency at the secondary level in the short and medium term.

Distance Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Language Barriers and New Contents of Kazakh Society

The COVID-19 pandemic, which rocked humanity on Earth, changed people's attitudes, psychology, and way of life. Because of this situation, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared an emergency of international importance, various scientific and clinical studies were conducted, and the people of the world had to adapt to the situation. In 2020–2022, it is known that the COVID-19 pandemic has become a serious challenge for the education system of the whole world. During the pandemic, schoolchildren and students of higher education institutions couldn't study in the traditional format, so they switched to the online mode. When the pandemic started, it was not easy to hold classes in a distance learning format. Both teachers and students of higher educational institutions had to learn ways to use information and communication technologies, new platforms, and tools and use them in the teaching process. The purpose, methodology, methodical materials, organizational forms of the lesson, selection of educational tools, and organization are related to pedagogical design. However, despite the systematic planning of classes, there were gaps in the organization of online training, such as the inability of all students to connect, poor internet access, lack of devices to use the internet, unsuitability, etc. All this interfered with the activities of students in the lesson process communicatively and pragmatically. Also, during distance learning, lexico-semantic barriers were encountered in the speech of students, which were influenced by cases when new terms began to be actively introduced into our language, difficulties with their interpretation, and limited ZOOM time for analyzing and interpreting the meaning of these words. These points were taken into account and analyzed in the article. The changes in the people's daily life in our country were also reflected in their language, i.e., since March 2020, our language has been supplemented with many new words, and several words and phrases have acquired new meanings. Some of them expanded the scope of work and moved from special medical and social spheres to general use. The article also paid attention to the types and usage of new language units that entered the vocabulary of the Kazakh language during the spread of the Coronavirus infection.

ANALYSIS OF LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY IN THE WORK OF LIGHT STEEL ROOF FRAME STRUCTURE (CASE STUDY: CONSTRUCTION PROJECT OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH OF St. MARIA BUNDA PENGHARAPAN BUNUT SANGGAU)

Project performance is greatly influenced by labor productivity. The productivity of each worker is different and is influenced by several factors such as work experience, age, education level, wages, site conditions, weather, coordination and planning, and leadership skills. This study examines the value and level of labor productivity, the variables that influence productivity, and the efforts to improve labor productivity. Observations in this study were conducted using the construction sampling method to observe the work scope, construction time, number of workers, adequate time, contribution time, ineffective time of lightweight steel-roof frame construction work, and direct on-site observation. Next, the level of labor productivity must be analyzed using the Labor Utilization Rate (LUR) approach. The analysis shows that the average productivity values for horse labor were 2,581 m²/OH for ironworkers and 5,197 m²/OH for manual workers. The productivity value for ironworkers in lath construction is 5,256 m²/OH. From the analysis of the average level of labor productivity (results are more than 50% of her), it can be concluded that the level of labor productivity in the construction project of the catholic church of St. Maria Bunda Pengharapan Bunut Sanggau is satisfactory. The most significant variables affecting labor productivity are control variables. As a result of interviews with stakeholders, it was found that ways to increase labor productivity include effectively using time, creating a working system that is easy to work in, ensuring that workers have specialized knowledge, and ensuring thorough on-site supervision. Improvements are needed to create a good working environment.

Identifying the Scope of Cybersecurity Research Conducted in the Maritime Industry: 2003 - 2023

The maritime industry plays a pivotal role in the modern economy, global trade, safety and transportation globally. Due to the rapid advancement and utilisation of technology in the field, the maritime industry is increasingly vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. The last decade saw many instances of infrastructure having been exploited or attacked, such as the maritime vessels themselves, the port infrastructure and the supply chain. Each component constituting the maritime industry requires unique system critical operations to ensure cybersecurity, however this paper focuses on certain aspects of the maritime industry only. As cybersecurity in the maritime industry is a growing field, this study determines the scope of cybersecurity research on maritime infrastructure which has been published to establish a baseline understanding of the current field. The paper presents the results from a systematic literature review conducted to assess the scope of current cybersecurity work published focusing on the maritime industry. The result from the study clearly shows the increased attention to cybersecurity in the maritime industry, which can be seen from the increased number of publications which showed a sharp increase after 2014.

Investigating the Roles and Responsibilities of Institutional Signing Officials After Data Sharing Policy Reform for Federally Funded Research in the United States: National Survey.

New federal policies along with rapid growth in data generation, storage, and analysis tools are together driving scientific data sharing in the United States. At the same, triangulating human research data from diverse sources can also create situations where data are used for future research in ways that individuals and communities may consider objectionable. Institutional gatekeepers, namely, signing officials (SOs), are therefore at the helm of compliant management and sharing of human data for research. Of those with data governance responsibilities, SOs most often serve as signatories for investigators who deposit, access, and share research data between institutions. Although SOs play important leadership roles in compliant data sharing, we know surprisingly little about their scope of work, roles, and oversight responsibilities. The purpose of this study was to describe existing institutional policies and practices of US SOs who manage human genomic data access, as well as how these may change in the wake of new Data Management and Sharing requirements for National Institutes of Health-funded research in the United States. We administered an anonymous survey to institutional SOs recruited from biomedical research institutions across the United States. Survey items probed where data generated from extramurally funded research are deposited, how researchers outside the institution access these data, and what happens to these data after extramural funding ends. In total, 56 institutional SOs participated in the survey. We found that SOs frequently approve duplicate data deposits and impose stricter access controls when data use limitations are unclear or unspecified. In addition, 21% (n=12) of SOs knew where data from federally funded projects are deposited after project funding sunsets. As a consequence, most investigators deposit their scientific data into "a National Institutes of Health-funded repository" to meet the Data Management and Sharing requirements but also within the "institution's own repository" or a third-party repository. Our findings inform 5 policy recommendations and best practices for US SOs to improve coordination and develop comprehensive and consistent data governance policies that balance the need for scientific progress with effective human data protections.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Community Health Workers in Relation to Environmental Health Hazards in the Nelson Mandela Bay.

Community health workers (CHWs) cover extensive areas observing the environmental conditions in which community members live. However, current CHW training modules do not have modules focusing specifically on environmental health. CHWs appear to lack knowledge of environmental health hazards, and little is known of their attitudes and practices regarding environmental health hazards. The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of CHWs in relation to environmental health hazards in the Nelson Mandela Bay (NMB). This study used a quantitative, cross-sectional research design. A sample of 110 respondents completed the questionnaire. The questionnaire was based on the literature, consisting of 36 items in four sections. Data analysis consisted of descriptive and inferential statistics. Reliability and validity were enhanced by utilizing a pre-test study. There were significant differences in attitudes (t = -2.308, df = 91.107, p = 0.023) and practices (t = -2.936, df = 62.491, p = 0.005). Those trained in environmental health had a significantly lower mean attitudes score (m = 3.2365, sd = 1.113) compared to those not trained in environmental health (m = 3.694, sd = 0.894). In addition, those trained in environmental health had a significantly lower mean practice score (practiced more frequently) (m = 1.231, sd = 0.327) compared to those not trained in environmental health (m = 1.4605, sd = 0.4162). Regarding training, 62% (n = 67) of CHWs felt they needed additional training in environmental health. Most of the CHWs had a moderate knowledge of environmental health hazards. Furthermore, most of the CHWs had a very positive or positive attitude towards environmental health hazards. However, there is a need for CHWs to receive very specific training in environmental health. In addition, the scope of work of CHWs, as well as their role in relation to environmental health, needs to be further explored.

KEPERLUAN KEMAHIRAN INSANIAH ABAD KE-21 TERHADAP KESEDIAAN KERJAYA PELAJAR

The primary objective of Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is to generate human capital that is capable of meeting the demands of the market today. TVET institution have a difficult time making sure that students are ready for the difficulties if the modern workforce, which is focused on digitalization and technological proficiency. This is due to the fact that industries need career-ready people to guarantee that work scopes can be implemented successfully, supporting the nation’s economic expansion. The moderate degree of soft skill mastery among students is one of the things that makes them unprepared for the workforce. One of the factors that companies take into account to make sure a candidate is prepared for a profession is whether or not they exhibit soft skills. In addition to making sure that students are prepared for occupations related to their fields of study, the mastery of soft skills by students must also meet the demands of 21st century careers. In order to generate human capital that is responsive to employment requirements, this concept paper addresses students’ preparedness for jobs from the standpoint of the 21st century soft skills needed to meet employer demands. This study uses a quantitative methodology and a survey design that includes students in Vocational Colleges as repondents. Employers in 21st century are looking for people with a variety of soft skills including flexibility and adaptability skills, initiative and self-direction skills, social and cross-cultural skills, productivity and accountability skills as well as leadership and responsibility skills.

National Bureau of Investigation: Towards Mitigating Women and Children Trafficking and Exploitation

The Philippines is one of the most trafficked countries. The Philippines is considered to be one of the most prominent online platforms for child sexual exploitation. This study will only focus on the aftercare services during the rescue and early recovery phase of the woman and child victims in violation of RA 9208- Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003, as amended RA 10364-Expanded Anti-Trafficking Act in Persons Act of 2012. It will not discuss the reintegration phase for it is the scope of social work and development (DSWD). Currently, there is no figure for the actual number of trafficking for there are unreported cases and it is borderless. There are also limitations in terms of women NBI agents. Rescue operations are beyond the scope of this paper for it is classified information and it varies from one operation to another. Mitigating the trafficking of women and children begins with addressing the root causes, raising public awareness, and strengthening the task forces that deal with these cases. According to the United Nations and the U.S. State Government, there are 3Ps to mitigate trafficking in persons. The researcher found 4Ps and these are: Prevent, Protect, Prosecute, and Partnership. The fight against trafficking in human beings in the Philippines remains an urgent and multifaceted challenge that requires a holistic and multi-pronged approach. Government, law enforcement, civil society, and international allies have played a key role in increasing awareness, enacting more stringent legislation, and supporting victims. Keywords: trafficking, exploitation, aftercare services, recue and early recovery phase, multi-pronged approach, women and children

A systematic review of the types, workload, and supervision mechanism of community health workers: lessons learned for Indonesia

BackgroundCommunity health workers (CHWs) have demonstrated capability to improve various health indicators, however, many programmes require support in meeting their objectives due to subpar performance and a high rate of CHW attrition. This systematic review investigated the types of CHWs, their workloads, and supervision practices that contribute to their performance in different countries.MethodsThe search was carried out in November 2022 in Medline, Embase, and Neliti for studies published in Indonesian or English between 1986 and 2022 that reported public health services delivered by CHWs who live and serve the community where they live but are not considered health professionals. The findings were synthesised using a thematic analysis to assess key factors influencing the performance of CHWs.ResultsSixty eligible articles were included in this review. CHWs were responsible for more than two diseases (n = 35) and up to fifteen, with more than eighteen activities. Their roles covered the human life cycle, from preparation for pregnancy, care for newborns, health for children, adolescents, and productive age to elderly individuals. They were also involved in improving environmental health, community empowerment, and other social issues hindering access to health services. They carried out promotive, preventive, and curative interventions. The CHW-population ratio varied from eight to tens of thousands of people. Some CHWs did not have a clear supervision system. Challenges that were often faced by CHWs included inappropriate incentives, inadequate facilities, insufficient mentoring, and supervision, many roles, and a broad catchment area. Many studies revealed that CHWs felt overburdened and stressed. They needed help to balance their significant work and domestic tasks.ConclusionsEffective planning that considered the scope of work of CHWs in proportion to their responsibilities and the provision of necessary facilities were crucial factors in improving the performance of CHWs. Supportive supervision and peer-supervision methods are promising, however, any CHW supervision required a detailed protocol. This systematic review emphasised the opportunity for CHW management system improvement in Indonesia.

Graduate medical education well-being directors in the United States: who are they, and what does the role entail?

BackgroundInstitutional Graduate Medical Education (GME) Well-being Director (WBD) roles have recently emerged in the United States to support resident and fellow well-being. However, with a standard position description lacking, the current scope and responsibilities of such roles is unknown. This study describes the scope of work, salary support, and opportunities for role definition for those holding institutional leadership positions for GME well-being.MethodsIn November 2021, 43 members of a national network of GME WBDs in the United States were invited to complete a cross-sectional survey that included questions about job responsibilities, percent effort, and dedicated budget, and a free text response question about unique leadership challenges for GME WBDs. The survey was analyzed using descriptive statistics for quantitative data and thematic analysis for qualitative data.Results26 members (60%) responded. Most were physicians, and the majority identified as female and White. Median percent effort salary support was 40%. A small minority reported overseeing an allocated budget. Most respondents worked to improve access to mental health services, oversaw institution-wide well-being programs, designed or delivered well-being content, provided consultations to individual programs, met with trainees, and partnered with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts. GME WBDs described unique challenges that had implications for perceived effectiveness related to resources, culture, institutional structure, and regulatory requirements in GME.DiscussionThere was high concordance for several key responsibilities, which may represent a set of core priorities for this role. Other reported responsibilities may reflect institution-specific needs or opportunities for role definition. A wide scope of responsibilities, coupled with limited defined budgetary support described by many GME Well-being Directors, could limit effective role execution. Future efforts to better define the role, optimize organizational reporting structures and provide funding commensurate with the scope of work may allow the GME Well-being Director to more effectively develop and execute strategic interventions.

Measurements of the Permeability Coefficient of Waste Coal Ash under Hydrostatic Pressure to Identify the Feasibility of Its Use in Construction

The aim of this research was to measure the filtration properties of waste coal ash under the influence of hydrostatic pressure generated in a three-axial compression apparatus. The scope of work included determining the compactibility parameters, maximum bulk density and optimal moisture content. Permeability tests were performed for a sample with an average grain composition at three compaction indices IS: 0.964, 0.98 and 1.00. The hydrostatic pressure ranging from 0.5 to 1.8 bar corresponded to the layer depths from 2.17 to 7.83 m. Gradually increasing the pressure during the first loading cycle caused irreversible changes in the structure of the sample by local material agglomeration or grain interlocking. The water permeability coefficient was higher in the second loading cycle than in the first cycle. It was shown that waste coal ash cannot be used as a construction material on its own. To obtain constant filtration properties, the waste coal ash material should be doped, or an optimal compactionshould be used (IS = 1.00). The results presented in this study are important for assessing the use of waste coal ash for construction engineering purposes.
