Background: Emergencies in outpatient clinics are rare. However, potentially catastrophic events can be challenging to manage due to a variety of factors, including limited equipment and staff. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to improve the staff knowledge and familiarity with critical performance elements for emergencies encountered in the setting of a periodontics clinic. Methods: Emergency cognitive aids tailored to the clinic's resources were created for anaphylaxis, airway obstruction, and sublingual hemorrhage. The project pre-post-test repeated measures design evaluated the effectiveness of cognitive aids using a combination of hands-on simulation, written knowledge assessments, and self-efficacy surveys. Training sessions and simulations were provided to the clinic's existing care teams made up of a periodontist and two dental assistants with an anesthetist who was present for simulations involving sedation. Due to the small sample size (N = 14) and non-normal distribution, all metrics were evaluated using non-parametric statistics. Results: Significant improvements were found in knowledge assessment (-2.310, P = 0.021) and self-efficacy (-2.486, P = 0.013) scores when retention after a training session before and after the introduction of cognitive aid was compared. The mean simulation scores and times improved steadily or reached maximum scores during the project progression. Conclusion: Training sessions before and after cognitive aid introduction were effective in improving knowledge, self-efficacy, and simulation performance. Future projects should focus on validating the process for creating contextualized cognitive aids and evaluating the effectiveness of these cognitive aids in larger samples.

본 연구에서는 1,300명의 소비자들이 직접 먹어보고 평가한 한우고기 데이터를 이용하여 쇠고기 맛 등급을 구분 해 내기 위한 판별분석 방법들을 비교하였다. 한우 관능평가의 주요 세 변수인 연도, 다즙성, 향미를 포함한 정준 판별분석과 대표적인 맛 변수로 여겨지는 전반적인 기호도 만을 이용하여 선형판별분석과 비모수 판별분석을 하였다. 전반적인 기호도와 같은 한 개의 변수만을 사용할 경우 두 가지 모두 비슷한 분류율을 나타내지만 선형판별 함수는 이해와 사용 측면에서 장점이 있었던 반면에 비모수적 방법은 커널함수와 띠폭에 대한 선택이 불편하지만 잘 선택하면 정확한 분류율을 높일 수 있는 장점이 있었다. 그러나 다른 정보를 가진 변수들이 있음에도 불구하고 한 개의 변수만을 이용한 판별 분석은 판별에 영향을 미치는 다른 중요한 변수들의 정보를 활용하지 못한다는 문제점이 있다. 한편, 정준판별분석의 경우 정준판별함수의 오분류율이 일변량 선형 판별함수와 비모수 판별함수의 오분류율에 비해 크게 떨어지지 않으면서 분포에 대한 특별한 가정이 필요하지 않아 통계적 가정이 까다롭지 않고 또한 맛에 중요한 요인인 연도, 다즙성, 향미의 세 개변수를 모두 사용하므로 맛 정보를 최대로 활용한다는 장점이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구결과 연도, 다즙성, 향미의 세가지 변수 정보를 모두 포함한 다변량 정준판별분석법을 이용하는 것이 맛 등급을 구분하는데 가장 적절할 것으로 판단되었다.

The SRP (Solar Radiation Pressure) model has always been an issue in the dynamic GPS (Global Positioning System) orbit determination. The widely used CODE (Center for Orbit Determination in Europe) model and its variants have nine parameters to estimate the solar radiation pressure from the Sun and to absorb the remaining forces. However, these parameters show a very high correlation with each other and, therefore, only several of them are estimated at most of the IGS (International GNSS Service) analysis centers. In this study, we attempted to numerically verify the correlation between the parameters. For this purpose, a bi-directional, multi-step numerical integrator was developed. The correlation between the SRP parameters was analyzed in terms of post-fit residuals of the orbit. The integrated orbit was fitted to the IGS final orbit as external observations. On top of the parametric analysis of the SRP parameters, we also verified the capabilities of orbit prediction at later time epochs. As a secondary criterion for orbit quality, the positional discontinuity of the daily arcs was also analyzed. The resulting post-fit RMSE (Root-Mean-Squared Error) shows a level of 4.8 mm on average and there is no significant difference between block types. Since the once-per-revolution parameters in the Y-axis are highly correlated with those in the B-axis, the periodic terms in the D- and Y-axis are constrained to zero in order to resolve the correlations. The 6-hr predicted orbit based on the previous day yields about 3 cm or less compared to the IGS final orbit for a week, and reaches up to 6 cm for 24 hours (except for one day). The mean positional discontinuity at the boundary of two 1-day arcs is on the level of 1.4 cm for all non-eclipsing satellites. The developed orbit integrator shows a high performance in statistics of RMSE and positional discontinuity, as well as the separations of the dynamic parameters. In further research, additional verification of the reference frame for the estimated orbit using SLR is necessary to confirm the consistency of the orbit frames.

The silkworm rearing and growth parameters of 63 multivoltine silkworm accessions under extended period of egg preservation at 5$^{\circ}C$ from 30 days to 45 days were studied. The results indicate that, nine accessions did not respond to extended period of egg preservation at low temperature and the remaining 54 accessions responded to the treatment and three rearings were conducted for comparision with the control; to estimate the effect of prolonged egg preservation at low temperature. The non-parametric tests statistics (Wilcoxon tests) was adopted for comparing the mean performance of treated batches (45 days) over the control (30 days). Highly significant variability was found among the accessions for all the parameters under study. The genetically controlled morphological characters were not altered in the treated batches, which were found to be on par with that of control. However, the total larval duration varied significantly over the control in 51 accessions. Similarly, the fifth age larval duration of 27 accessions showed decreasing trend compared to control. Altogether 41 accessions were found to be tolerant to long-term cold preservation upto 45 days, without showing any significant variation for morphological as well as essential quantitative traits. These accessions may be recommended for long-term egg preservation schedule up to 45 days, which will reduce the cost of conservation of these silkworm germplasm.

Sentiments can profoundly affect individual behavior as well as decision-making. Confronted with the ever-increasing amount of review information available online, it is desirable to provide an effective sentiment model to both detect and organize the available information to improve understanding, and to present the information in a more constructive way for consumers. This study developed a unified phrase-based topic and sentiment detection model, combined with a tracking model using incremental hierarchical dirichlet allocation (PTSM_IHDP). This model was proposed to discover the evolutionary trend of topic-based sentiments from online reviews. PTSM_IHDP model firstly assumed that each review document has been composed by a series of independent phrases, which can be represented as both topic information and sentiment information. PTSM_IHDP model secondly depended on an improved time-dependency non-parametric Bayesian model, integrating incremental hierarchical dirichlet allocation, to estimate the optimal number of topics by incrementally building an up-to-date model. To evaluate the effectiveness of our model, we tested our model on a collected dataset, and compared the result with the predictions of traditional models. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of our model compared to several state-of-the-art methods.

The present work proposes the thermo mechanically induced statistics of nonlinear transverse central deflection of elastically supported functionally graded (FG) plate subjected to static loadings with random system properties. The FG plate is supported on two parameters Pasternak foundation with Winkler cubic nonlinearity. The random system properties such as material properties of FG material, external loading and foundation parameters are assumed as uncorrelated random variables. The material properties are assumed as non-uniform temperature distribution with temperature dependent (TD) material properties. The basic formulation for static is based on higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) with von-Karman nonlinear strain kinematics through Newton-Raphson method. A second order perturbation technique (SOPT) and direct Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) are used to compute the nonlinear governing equation. The effects of load parameters, plate thickness ratios, aspect ratios, volume fraction, exponent, foundation parameters, and boundary conditions with random system properties are examined through parametric studies. The results of present approaches are compared with those results available in the literature and by employing direct Monte Carlo simulation (MCS).

Purpose: This study was conducted for an evidence-based nursing intervention on bed rest period after puncture, by confirming whether there was a difference in scores of headache and back pain between the 1-hour bed rest group and the 6-hour bed rest group following lumbar puncture in patients with leukemia. Method: The subjects were 45 inpatients of the department of hematology at a general hospital in Seoul, from January 1 to March 31, 2005. There were 21 patients in the 1-hour bed rest group and 24 patients in the 6-hour bed rest group. A graphic rating scale was used to measure headaches and back pains. Collected data were analyzed with SPSS 12.0. Non- parametric statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: There was no significant difference between the 1-hour bed rest group and the 6-hour bed rest group in the headache level and back pain level. Conclusion: Therefore, it is considered that a long period of bed rest over 6 hours after lumbar puncture is not a necessary nursing intervention, and repeated studies are required to confirm the result.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a multifactorial program for urinary incontinence, self-esteem and self-efficacy in older women. Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest with no control group was used. Nineteen women completed weekly 90-min group sessions for eight weeks. The group received a multi-factorial program comprised of Kegel exercise, education and psychosocial programs over 8 weeks. Data on urinary incontinence, self-esteem and self-efficacy were collected twice: before the intervention and 8 weeks after the intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-test by non-parametric statistics. Results: Total scores for the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire decreased significantly after the intervention (pretest $7.95{\pm}5.48$, posttest $5.15{\pm}4.72$, p<.05). The scores for self-esteem and self-efficacy improved significantly. Conclusion: These results indicate that a multifactorial program for older women is feasible to prevent urinary incontinence in women living in the community.
