Surgical learning and guidance on operative risks and potential errors
2017
Purpose Within the framework of learning from errors, this study focused on how operative risks and potential errors are addressed in guidance to surgical residents during authentic surgical operations. The purpose of this paper is to improve patient safety and to diminish medical complications resulting from possible operating errors. Further in the process of the optimal contexts for instruction aimed at preventing risks and errors in the practical hospital environment was evaluated. Design/methodology/approach The five authentic surgical operations were analyzed, all of which were organized as training sessions for surgical residents. The data (collected via video-recoding) were analyze…
Sociālpedagoģiskā darbība populārās mūzikas izraisīto negatīvo parādību un risku mazināšanā 7.–9. klašu grupā
2020
Maijas Elvīras Šmukstes diplomdarbs “Sociālpedagoģiskā darbība populārās mūzikas izraisīto negatīvo parādību un risku mazināšanā 7. - 9. klašu grupā.” Diplomdarba mērķis – izpētīt ar populāro mūziku saistīto subkultūru negatīvās parādības, konstatēt iespējamos riskus 7.–9. klašu grupā un veikt sociālpedagoģisko darbību, mazinot populārās mūzikas klausīšanās un saistīto subkultūru izraisīto negatīvo parādību un risku ietekmi uz skolēniem. Teorētiskajā daļā pētīta populārā mūzika, tās vēsture, žanri, tās vieta mācību saturā un sastopamība pusaudžu un jauniešu veidoto subkultūru vidēs, kā arī analizēti iespējamie riski un negatīvās parādības, kas saistītas ar šo subkultūru ietekmi uz jauniešu …
RISK ANALISYS REGARDING HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK
2018
The work was created according to the provisions of the work safety legislation in force, regarding the obligation of the management of the economic agents to correctly determine the risk factors in order to ensure the measures for prevention of accidents and professional illnesses. The analysis presents the main aspects of the frequent mistakes that may arise in the risk assessment. So, it has been concluded that risks are inevitable in business, and that each activity is unique, as well as the risks from one activity to another or from one group of activities to another. Under these circumstances, it has been established that the success of an enterprise depends on how the risks were mana…
Spatial risks and complex systems: methodological perspectives
2007
Research on risk and industrial catastrophes question the complexity theories. Besides the concepts of complexity which lead us to reconsider concepts of risk, hazard and vulnerability, we propose to think about more practical aspects, for example the modelling of human behaviour in crisis situations. The link between concepts as critical self-organization, emergence, bifurcation, and the methods in the Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) used to model them is however difficult. In this paper, we present ongoing analysis on the key concepts of risk science, such as hazards and catastrophes. We propose to enrich them with complex systems theories. First, we present methodological persp…
Managing in-country transportation risks in humanitarian supply chains by logistics service providers: Insights from the 2015 Nepal earthquake
2017
International audience; Humanitarian supply chains (HSCs) play a central role in effective and efficient disaster relief operations. Transportation has a critical share in HSCs and managing its risks helps to avoid further disruptions in relief operations. However, there is no common approach to or culture of risk management that its applicability has been studied through recent cases. This paper incorporates an empirical research design and makes a threefold contribution: first, it identifies in-country transportation risks during Nepal response. Second, we evaluate afore identified risks through an expert driven risk assessment grid. Third, we use our field data to study how some humanita…
Whether and How Social Work Could Address the Long-Term Socio-environmental Risks Caused by the Mining Industry in Northern Finland
2018
Despite underlining the importance of the commitment of states and international organizations, the discourse on human security is seldom explicit about who the actors or frontline workers are that operationalize the framework. One such group of practitioners that is possibly involved, but largely unacknowledged, is social workers, especially as social work as a discipline, profession and social movement has a value base and overall goals that are very similar to the human security approach. In social work, the categories of economic, food, environmental and community security fall within the discourse of human security, particularly with the currently evolving ecosocial (ecological/environ…
Managing group work in the classroom: An international study on perceived benefits and risks based on students’ cultural background and gender
2018
Working in groups has become an essential part of success of every organization operating in global economy. Therefore, the business sector has created an imperative for higher education institutions (HEIs) to modify study programs and prepare students to be effective team players. However, while group work has been highly encouraged among university students, their opinions on this practice remain rather neglected. In addition, the role of culture and gender in students’ perceptions of group work has received little attention. The purpose of this study is to examine how university students perceive group work in terms of its benefits and risks and whether their national culture and gender …
Assessment of Cybersecurity Risks: Maritime Automated Piloting Process
2022
A modern society is a combination of several critical infrastructures, of which international and national maritime transportation systems are essential parts. Digitalization makes it possible to increase levels of autonomy in maritime systems. It also means fully existing cyberenvironments in maritime processes. In cyberenvironments, it is crucial there is trustable information communication between system elements of the process, alongside the usability, reliability, and integrity of systems data in the operating environment. In order to develop maritime autonomy in Finland the Sea4Value / Fairway (S4VF) research program has been developed. At the first stage of the program, the main goal…
Taisnes nogriežņu telpiskas tīklveida konfigurācijas algoritmiska atpazīšana no stereopāra
2017
Mācību rakstura mēģinājums telpiski atpazīt specifiskus stereopārus, kurus veido telpisku ģeometrisku grafu divas plakanas projekcijas. Aplūkoto ģeometrisko grafu šķautnes ir taisnes nogriežņi, bet virsotnes šo nogriežņu galapunkti. Ar šādiem grafiem, kurus saucam arī par nogriežņu tīkliem, mēs vienkāršoti un abstrakti modelējam gan dabisku, gan mākslīgu telpiskus tīklus veidojošu līniju struktūru fundamentālo uzbūvi. Piemēram, organisma asinsvadu tīklus vai augu lapu dzīslojumus bioloģijā, vai dažādas stieņu konstrukcijas sadzīvē un industrijā. Šādā nostādnē algoritmiskajā apstrādē dominē struktūru kombinatoriskais aspekts, kuru tad arī mēs izvēršam savā darbā. Mūsu mērķis bija pārliecināt…
