Efficiency Optimization

The existing attendance system still has drawbacks, namely the queue in front of the finger scanner, the attendance data are not integrated with Human Resources Systems, and also the employees who work outside the office cannot get in the attendance system to roll presence. In the other hand, everyone has the mobile devices and all the mobile devices will be embedded a finger scanner in the future. In this paper, it is proposed the absence system using one own device. The finger scanner and coordinate Global Position System (GPS) are used as inputs for the attendance system that integrated with payroll system and human resource management tools. Application base on android platform is developed because the android is the most platforms that have been using in the most mobile devices. Using our proposed methodology, the employee can roll presence using their mobile devices and the do not need to be in queue and the employees who work outside the office also can roll presence. Research showed that proposed methodology can be used for the next generation attendance system.

Infant Pain

Background: The use of non-validated pain measurement tools to assess infant pain represents a serious iatrogenic threat to the developing neonatal nervous system. One partial explanation for this practice may be the contradictory empirical data from studies that use newborn pain management tools constructed for infants of different developmental stages or exposed to different environmental stressors. Purpose: The purpose of this review is to evaluate the evidence regarding the physiologic and behavioral variables that accurately assess and measure acute pain response in infants. Methodology: A literature search was conducted using PUBMED and CINAHL and the search terms infant, neonate/neonatal, newborn, pain, assessment, and measurement to identify peer-reviewed studies that examined the validity and reliability of behavioral and physiological variables used for investigation of infant pain. Ten articles were identified for critical review. Principal findings: Strong evidence supports the use of the behavioral variables of facial expressions and body movements and the physiologic variables of heart rate and oxygen saturation to assess acute pain in infants. Conclusion: It is incumbent upon researchers and clinical nurses to ensure the validity, reliability, and feasibility of pain measures, so that the outcomes of their investigations and interventions will be developmentally appropriate and effective pain management therapies.

Abstract Purpose China is currently one of the countries with the largest increased number of new cancer cases in the world, but cancer pain management (CPM) is still inadequate. This study, through a questionnaire designed to show the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) status and differences towards CPM among healthcare workers (HCWs) in developed areas of China and explore areas and advantages of the role of pharmacists and mobile devices.Methods This study used data from a questionnaire on CPM from March to June 2019. The study population consisted of a total of 515 HCWs in four first-tier developed cities in China. The questionnaire has four major components, analysis of differences in KAP of different occupations through one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).Results Among the respondents, the physicians had the highest knowledge scores towards CPM, pharmacists had the lowest practice scores. Around half of the respondents indicated that their hospital or department have a pharmacist participating in CPM. Physicians, and nurses were more likely to expect pharmacists to provide drug counseling. The HCWs interviewed most expect that the mobile-based pain management system can automatically screen and mark patients with pain.Conclusion From this study, it can be suggested that pharmacists and nurses in the CPM team should actively promote relevant knowledge. Besides, pharmacists should focus on improving practical ability such as increasing the frequency of pain assessment. Multidisciplinary collaboration and the introduction of mobile devices can improve and refine the CPM.

The existing of absence system still has drawbacks, namely the queue in front of the finger scanner, the absence data are not integrated with Human Resources Systems, and also the employees who work outside the office cannot get in the absence system to do the attendance. In the other hand, we know that everyone has the mobile devices and all the mobile devices will be embedded a finger scanner in the future. In this paper, we proposed the absence system using your own device. We used the finger scanner and coordinate Global Position System (GPS) as inputs for the absence system that integrated with payroll system and human resource management tools. We developed our application base on android platform because the android is the most platforms that have been using in the most mobile devices. Using our proposed methodology, the employee can do attendance using their mobile devices and they do not need to be in queue and the employee who work outside the office also can do the attendance.

Injury Assessment

It has been widely accepted that the assessment of balance after concussion plays a large role in determining deficit. Qualitative balance assessments have been an established piece of the post-injury assessment as a clinical behavioral marker of concussion for many years. Recently more specific guidelines outlining the role of balance evaluation in concussion identification and management have been developed as part of concussion management tools. As part of the ongoing development of concussions protocols, quantitative assessment of balance function following concussion has also been identified to have an important role. Frequently imbalance and dizziness reported following concussion is assumed to be associated with post-concussion syndrome (PCS). While imbalance and dizziness are common complaints in PCS, they can also be a sign of additional underlying pathology. In cases of specific dizziness symptoms or limited balance recovery beyond the initial post-concussive period, a quantitative vestibular assessment may also be needed. Electronystagmography and videonystagmography (ENG/VNG), rotary chair testing (RCT), and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) have all been identified as valid assessment tools for vestibular dysfunction following traumatic brain injury (TBI). The assessment of balance and dizziness following sports-related concussions is an integral piece of the puzzle for removal from play, assessment of severity, and management.
