A drug information system (DARIS) has been created for handling reports on suspected drug reactions. The system is suitable for being run on desktop computers with a minimum of hardware requirements: 187 K read/write memory, flexible or hard disc drive and a thermal printer. The data base (DRUG) uses the QUERY and IMAGE programming capabilities for data entry and search. The data base to statistics link program (DBSTAT) enables data transfer from the data base into a file for statistical analysis and signalling suspected adverse drug reactions.The operational, medical and statistical aspects of the general population voluntary adverse drug reaction monitoring programme—recently initiated in the State of Kuwait—are described.

Abstract Over the years, failures induced by an electrostatic discharge (ESD) have become a major concern for semiconductor manufacturers and electronic equipment makers. The ESD events that cause destructive failures have been studied extensively [1, 2]. However, not all ESD events cause permanent damage. Some events lead to recoverable failures that disrupt system functionality only temporarily (e.g. reboot, lockup, and loss of data). These recoverable failures are not as well understood as the ones causing permanent damage and tend to be ignored in the ESD literature [3, 4]. This paper analyzes and characterizes how these recoverable failures affect computer systems. An experimental methodology is developed to characterize the sensitivity of motherboards to ESD by simulating the systemlevel ESD events induced by computer users. The manuscript presents a case study where this methodology was used to evaluate the robustness of desktop computers to ESD. The method helped isolate several weak nets contributing to the failures and identified a design improvement. The result was that the robustness of the systems improved by a factor of 2.

There has been an explosion in the development of electronic methods for psychological assessment. These include use of handheld devices, desktop computers, and platform-based Internet methods. This development has occurred separately in the commercial environment and in the research environment. This development of new methods presents great promise to improve the accuracy, ecological validity, and range of constructs in psychological assessment. However there are also many problems involved in the development of these electronic methods, including the need to train clinicians in their use, the need to develop safeguards for privacy, and the need to develop methods to ensure the integrity of the data collected. This chapter outlines some of the main considerations in moving forward.

AbstractAs digital imaging is now a common and essential tool in the clinical workflow, it is important to understand the experiences of clinicians with medical imaging systems in order to guide future development. The objective of this paper was to explore health professionals’ experiences, practices and preferences when using Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS), to identify shortcomings in the existing technology and inform future developments. Semi-structured interviews are reported with 35 hospital-based healthcare professionals (3 interns, 11 senior health officers, 6 specialist registrars, 6 consultants, 2 clinical specialists, 5 radiographers, 1 sonographer, 1 radiation safety officer). Data collection took place between February 2019 and December 2020 and all data are analyzed thematically. A majority of clinicians report using PACS frequently (6+ times per day), both through dedicated PACS workstations, and through general-purpose desktop computers. Most clinicians report using basic features of PACS to view imaging and reports, and also to compare current with previous imaging, noting that they rarely use more advanced features, such as measuring. Usability is seen as a problem, including issues related to data privacy. More sustained training would help clinicians gain more value from PACS, particularly less experienced users. While the majority of clinicians report being unconcerned about sterility when accessing digital imaging, clinicians were open to the possibility of touchless operation using voice, and the ability to execute multiple commands with a single voice command would be welcomed.

Abstract Technology to support aging in place has been a topic of interest. Research indicates that older adults are increasingly using commercially available voice assistants in smart speakers. These devices enable non-visual interaction that does not require extensive expertise with traditional mobile or desktop computers, thus offering new possibilities of access to digital technology. We conducted two different studies with individuals aged 65 years old or above—a three week smart speaker deployment study with individuals who did not use computing devices regularly and a workshop on customizing internet of things technology with tech savvy individuals. Our findings indicate specific ways that these voice technologies might support aging in place, including ease of use and due to their not being identified with aging-specific technologies. We observed that participants consistently used their voice agent for finding online information, particularly health-related, emphasizing the need to revisit concerns about credibility of information with this new interaction medium. And, although features to support memory (e.g., setting timers, reminders) were initially perceived as useful, the actual usage was unexpectedly low due to reliability concerns. Our work provides a basis to understand older adults’ perceptions and usage of current voice technologies. We also identify opportunities for customizing voice technologies to better support aging in place.

The article describes the generally positive experience of Court of Justice of the European Union in managing the Covid-19 crisis. Before the outbreak of the Covid-19 crisis the Court had established an effective structure to cope with risks and issues related to pandemics. It benefited from an extensive migration to a modern computer operating system and the replacement of traditional desktop computers by portable devices capable of remotely connecting to the Court’s network. Appropriate teleworking and extensive dematerialisation and simplification of standard administrative procedures took place and proved their effectiveness. The disruptive dimensions of COVID-19 pandemic forced the CJEU to accelerate transformations – not only digital but managerial and judicial processes The author analyses several phases of organising the functioning of the Court during the pandemic and comes to the conclusion that that the Court proved to be well prepared to tackle the issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the quest of the future organisation will also have to do more with smart management and the new modes of working. Keywords: Justice, Court Administration, COVID-19, CJEU.

AimsNervecentre is an application that can be used on mobile devices and desktop computers to record and view physical observations amongst other tools. An audit had been done previously assessing the practice of recording observations using paper documentation. That audit had recommended the use of Nervecentre to improve the recording of observations. This audit was undertaken following the introduction of Nervecentre for documentation of physical observations. The aims were to evaluate if the transition to electronic documentation of NEWS (National Early Warning Score) observations on Nervecentre has improved practice in comparison to paper documentation and to evaluate if our practice could be improved by implementing electronic observations for psychiatric observations in addition.MethodData were collected over a 10-day period looking at all the documented observations from all inpatients on the MHSOP wards that met the inclusion criteria. Data were collected on the recording of psychiatric observations (recorded on paper charts) and physical observations (recorded on Nervecentre). The data were collated and analysed. The new data were compared to the original data from prior to the introduction of NerveCentre and the findings were presented at a local meeting.ResultThis audit has highlighted that the documentation of physical observations on MHSOP wards has greatly improved since Nervecentre was introduced. There was an improvement in recording of physical observations in almost all domains measured. NEWS scores were correctly documented 100% of the time compared to 87% previously. Raised NEWS scores were correctly escalated to a senior and reviewed 80% of the time compared to 0% previously. It has also highlighted that the quality of documentation regarding psychiatric observations could be improved as we are not currently meeting local or national guidance.ConclusionThe most likely cause for the improvement in the recording of the physical observations is the implementation of Nervecentre. Nervecentre prompts users when observations are due, removes the risk of calculation errors and allows for observations to be directly escalated. Implementing Nervecentre for psychiatric observations may similarly improve the quality of these observations therefore improving patient safety.

ABSTRAKPerlindungan terhadap keamanan jaringan merupakan hal yang sangat penting untuk dilakukan. Mengingat kemudahan dalam mengakses jaringan memungkinkan adanya gangguan dari pihak yang ingin menyerang, merusak, bahkan mengambil data penting. Honeypot memang tidak menyelesaikan masalah pada keamanan jaringan, namun honeypot membuat penelitian tentang serangan menjadi lebih sederhana dengan konsep yang mudah untuk dimengerti dan dimplementasikan. Penelitian ini menerapkan beberapa honeypot menggunakan Raspberry pi dan ELK stack untuk monitoring hasil yang didapatkan oleh honeypot. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk merancang sistem yang mampu mendeteksi serangan pada jaringan menggunakan honeypot. Raspberry pi digunakan sebagai sensor honeypot untuk pemantauan ancaman keamanan terbukti hemat biaya dan efektif menggantikan komputer desktop. ELK stack memudahkan pemusatan data dari berbagai sumber dan membuat analisis log yang awalnya rumit untuk dianalisis menjadi lebih menarik.ABSTRACTProtection of network security is very important to do. Given the ease in accessing the network allows for interference from parties who want to attack, destroy, and even retrieve important data. Honeypot does not solve the problem on network security, but the honeypot makes research about attacks become simpler with concepts that are easy to understand and implement. This research applies some honeypot using Raspberry pi and ELK stack for monitoring result obtained by honeypot. The purpose of this research is to design a system capable of detecting attacks on a network using a honeypot. Raspberry pi is used as a honeypot sensor for monitoring proven cost-effective and cost-effective security threats to replace desktop computers. The ELK stack facilitates the convergence of data from multiple sources and makes log analysis initially complex for analysis to be more interesting.

Objective: To describe the usage of a novel application (The FLOW) that allows mobile devices to be used for rounding and handoffs. Materials and Methods: The FLOW provides a view of patient data and the capacity to enter short notes via personal mobile devices. It was deployed using a “bring-your-own-device” model in 4 pilot units. Social network analysis (SNA) was applied to audit trails in order to visualize usage patterns. A questionnaire was used to describe user experience. Results: Overall, 253 health professionals used The FLOW with their personal mobile devices from October 2013 to March 2015. In pediatric and neonatal intensive care units (ICUs), a median of 26–26.5 notes were entered per user per day. Visual network representation of app entries showed that usage patterns were different between the ICUs. In 127 questionnaires (50%), respondents reported using The FLOW most often to enter notes and for handoffs. The FLOW was perceived as having improved patient care by 57% of respondents, compared to usual care. Most respondents (86%) wished to continue using The FLOW. Discussion: This study shows how a handoff and rounding tool was quickly adopted in pediatric and neonatal ICUs in a hospital setting where patient charts were still paper-based. Originally developed as a tool to support informal documentation using smartphones, it was adapted to local practices and expanded to print sign-out documents and import notes within the medicolegal record with desktop computers. Interestingly, even if not supported by the nursing administrative authorities, the level of use for data entry among nurses and doctors was similar in all units, indicating close collaboration in documentation practices in these ICUs.
