BACKGROUND Closing the gap in health and welfare for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is an ongoing challenge. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this article are to conceptualise and operationalise models of cultural mentorship within a multifaceted practice-based program to facilitate culturally and clinically appropriate care. METHODS Participatory action research and workshops wer...

Abstract. Andriyono S, Alam MJ, Sumartiwi L, Mubarak AS, Pramono H, Suciyono, Kartika GRA, Sari AHW, Sektiana SP. 2022. The diversity of Carangidae (Carangiformes) was revealed by DNA barcoding collected from the traditional fish markets in Java and Bali, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 2799-2806. Biodiversity has been utilized various ways, including fulfilling protein needs for coastal communiti...

The system is made with main distributed components: First Level: Industrial Computers placed in Control Room (monitors thermal and electrical processes based on the data provided by the second level); Second Level: PLCs which collects data from process and transmits information on the first level; also takes commands from this level which are further, passed to execution elements from third le...

Tropical Cyclone (TC) intensity forecasts are impacted by errors in atmosphere and ocean initial conditions and the model formulation, which motivates using an ensemble approach. This study evaluates the impact of uncertainty in atmospheric and oceanic initial conditions, as well as stochastic representations of the drag (Cd) and enthalphy (Ck) exchange coefficients on ensemble Advanced Hurrica...

To review the main achievement and problems of study on hand-arm vibration syndrome in China. The epidemiological and clinical study indicate that HAVS was reported from almost provinces in China, the prevalence of VWF ranges from 2.5% to 82.8% in the workers with vibrating tool use. The exposure-response relationship between prevalence of VWF and intensity and duration of exposed to hand-trans...

The 1973 national survey of 461 chainsaw operators in private forests was reexamined with respect to vibration exposure dose and the Stockholm Workshop Scale (CIRP and SN stages). Vibration dose (VD) was calculated by the formula "ahw(eq.4h) x D (days) x Y (years)". Vibration dose index (VDI) was calculated according to the level of VD. Subjects were divided into five VDI, for CIRP stage, and f...

This paper performs a comparative analysis of the spatiotemporal variations statistical characteristics both atmospheric heatwaves over land (AHWs) in eastern China and marine (MHWs) adjacent seas using unified heatwave definition. The multi-year average total days frequency MHWs during 1982-2019 were 5 2 times higher than those AHWs, respectively, while mean intensities AHWs unchanged. future ...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the changes over a workshift in fingertip tactile perception thresholds in users of impact wrenches exposed to intermittent hand transmitted vibration. A further aim was to assess the relation between acute changes in tactile sensation, sensorineural disorders, and vibration dose. METHODS The study populations consisted of 30 workers exposed to vibration (16 men and ...

INTRODUCTION The health of Indigenous Australians is exceptionally poor compared with that of non-Indigenous Australians. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death, the death rate being at least 2.7 times higher than the total Australian population. Indigenous Australians also experience underutilisation and reduced quality use of medicines. Aboriginal Health Workers (AHWs) are app...

ver the past 10 years, Alberta has pioneered the development of a province-wide electronic health record (EHR). As a result, a number of the building blocks are already operational – for example, patient and provider registries, a pharmaceutical information network, a laboratory test results history system and electronic medical record systems are in many physicians’ offices. However, because t...
