The lived experience of rescuing people who have driven into floodwater: Understanding challenges and identifying areas for providing support.
2018
Background: Drowning is a major public health issue, with risk increasing during times of flood. Driving into floodwater is a major risk factor for flood-related drowning and injury, and despite widespread public health campaigns, many people continue to undertake this risky behaviour and require rescue. Purpose: We aimed to identify key challenges faced by emergency services personnel when rescuing those who have driven into floodwater, and to identify strategies for supporting rescuers in this important role. Methods: Australian flood rescue operators (N = 8) who had previously rescued a driver who had driven into floodwater participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed u…
The lived experience of rescuing people who have driven into floodwater : understanding challenges and identifying areas for providing support
2019
Background Drowning is a major public health issue, with risk increasing during times of flood. Driving into floodwater is a major risk factor for flood‐related drowning and injury, and despite widespread public health campaigns, many people continue to undertake this risky behaviour and require rescue. Purpose We aimed to identify key challenges faced by emergency services personnel when rescuing those who have driven into floodwater, and to identify strategies for supporting rescuers in this important role. Methods Australian flood rescue operators (N = 8) who had previously rescued a driver who had driven into floodwater participated in semi‐structured interviews. Data were analysed usin…
Problematising the equivalence of the test results of performance-based critical thinking tests for undergraduate students
2015
Abstract This article compares the test results of two different performance-based assessments of critical thinking: a constructed-response task from the Collegiate Learning Assessment (CLA) and a multiple-choice questionnaire (MCQ). These tests ostensibly measure the same critical thinking skills, such as analysing, interpreting and evaluating information and problem solving. The study utilised a mixed-method approach to explore the differences in students’ ( n = 330) test scores. The results showed that the correspondence between the CLA and the MCQ was fully comparable in 45.5% of the students’ test performances. Ten percent of the students had completely opposite test results. Explanat…
Pacientu ar politraumu iespējamie aprūpes riski operāciju māsas praksē perioperatīvajā un operatīvajā periodā
2020
Bakalaura darbs „Pacientu ar politraumu iespējamie aprūpes riski operāciju māsu praksē perioperatīvajā un operatīvajā periodā” izstrādāts ar mērķi noskaidrot pacientiem ar politraumu iespējamos aprūpes riskus operāciju māsu praksē perioperatīvajā un operatīvajā periodā. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka tas, ka traumas ir viens no visbiežāk sastopamākajām un aktuālākajām problēmām medicīnā un sabiedrībā. Politraumu pacientu aprūpe ir sarežģīts process, kura laikā pastāv dažādi aprūpes riski visos politraumu pacientu aprūpes periodos. Darbs balstīts uz Kalistas Rojas piemērošanas teoriju. Teorētiskajā daļā, izmantojot pieejamo literatūru, ir apskatīts politraumas jēdziena skaidrojums, epidemioloģija …
Bloodstream Infection Incidence of Different Central Venous Catheters in Neonates: A Descriptive Cohort Study
2017
Central venous catheters (CVCs) in neonates are associated with a risk of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). Most reports on the incidence of CLABSI in neonates focus on umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). We evaluated the incidence and risk factors for CLABSI in a cohort of neonates with femoral venous catheters (FVCs), UVCs, and PICCs, with a gestational age ≥34 weeks born between January 1, 2006 and June 30, 2013. We included 2,986 neonates with a total of 656 catheters. The CLABSI incidence rate varied from 12.3 per 1,000 catheter-days in FVCs to 10.6 per 1,000 catheter-days in UVCs and 5.3 per 1,000 catheter-days …
Concentrations of PAHs, PCBs and OC pesticides in intertidal marine gastropods of Sicily (Mediterranean Sea).
2009
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), organochlorine pesticides (OCs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are toxic organic compounds able to persist in the Environment for long time. They can be accumulated through food webs and this could be a risk to some extent to threat human health and environmental quality. Marine currents represent further important distribution way of POPs through marine habitats and organisms. In Sicily, no much attention has been paid on POPs distribution on coastal habitats, important reservoirs of biodiversity, even if these are strongly influenced by anthropogenic pressure. In this study, concentrations of PCBs…
Grammar teaching methods in an EFL lesson
2013
Kieliopilla on keskeinen asema englantia vieraana kielenä opiskeltaessa ja rakenteiden tuntemus on osa vieraiden kielten opetussuunnitelmaa. Menetelmät, joilla kielioppia opetetaan, ovat laajalti opettajien itse päätettävissä ja opetusmenetelmien kirjo on valtava. Opetus voi olla hyvinkin opettajakeskeistä ja tyyliltään luennoivaa tai puolestaan hyvin toiminnallista ja oppilaslähtöistä sekä kaikkea tältä väliltä. Tämä tutkielma toteutettiin kuvailevana tapaustutkimuksena, johon osallistui yksi englantia vieraana kielenä opettava alakoulun opettaja sekä hänen oppitunnillaan olleet 14 oppilasta. Tutkielman aihe oli kieliopin opetusmenetelmät, joten huomio keskittyi opettajaan, ei oppilaisiin.…
Transformación educativa en el ande peruano. Doce respuestas desde Apurímac
2022
Aprender es cambio, pero educar es transformación. La sociedad está envuelta en constantes cambios de distinto calado e intensidad, pero siempre se pueden encontrar respuestas creativas y comprometidas con el proyecto humano llamado «educación». Educar es comprometerse con la transformación personal y social. no solo por el cambio que puede ser superficial o fútil. Y este libro, que busca sacar a la luz doce respuestas educativas elaboradas por los y las docentes de la región de Apurímac (Perú), va detrás de la transformación educativa a pesar de la pandemia y de las centenarias adversidades socioeducativas de esta región peruana. En cada una de estas doce propuestas, seleccionadas de casi …
Educar en Apurímac Resistencia creadora en tiempos de pandemia
2021
¿Qué hace un/a docente cuando la realidad educativa es más potente que la teoría? Aquí se presentan ocho trabajos de innovación educativa presentados por docentes de la Región de Apurímac (Perú) que dan respuesta a esta pregunta. Se trata, en líneas generales, de respuestas creativas y comprometidas, de acercamiento pedagógico a la realidad del aula, problemática, compleja y, con ello, también potente y diversa. Son trabajos que más que aplicar una norma, una regla o un algoritmo, con su singularidad, han encarado la complejidad de sus aulas desde la praxis educativa para ofrecer, con esfuerzo y valor, una respuesta innovadora. Son trabajos innovadores pedagógica y socialmente comprometidos…
Unraveling the nature of universal dynamics in O(N) theories
2020
Many-body quantum systems far from equilibrium can exhibit universal scaling dynamics which defy standard classification schemes. Here, we disentangle the dominant excitations in the universal dynamics of highly occupied N-component scalar systems using unequal-time correlators. While previous equal-time studies have conjectured the infrared properties to be universal for all N, we clearly identify for the first time two fundamentally different phenomena relevant at different N. We find all N >= 3 to be indeed dominated by the same Lorentzian "large-N" peak, whereas N = 1 is characterized instead by a non-Lorentzian peak with different properties, and for N = 2, we see a mixture of two cont…
