Powerful Steps To Convert Negativity To Positive Outcomes: 22 Conversion Strategies For Changing A Negative Person Or Situation Into A Positive Outcome

Background: In spite of an increased interest in open innovation and strategies that call for an increased collaboration between different healthcare actors, there is a lack of open innovation research in public contexts. Objective: This article presents the results of a review regarding the healthcare sector’s engagement in open innovation as well as constraining factors and positive outcomes of open innovation in healthcare. Method: The literature search focused on papers published in English between 2003 and 2014. Based on specified inclusion criteria, 18 articles were included. Results: Results reveal that most studies focus on inbound open innovation where external knowledge is integrated with the internal knowledge base at an initial phase of the innovation process. Innovation primarily results in products and services through innovation networks. We also identified constraining factors for open innovation in healthcare, including the complex organizations of healthcare, the need to establish routines for capturing knowledge from patients and clinicians, regulations and healthcare data laws as well as the positive outcome patient empowerment. Conclusion: The healthcare sector’s engagement in open innovation is limited, and it is necessary to perform further research with a focus on how open innovation can be managed in healthcare.

This study aims at presenting memes as a teaching technique and the students' perspectives on the use of memes in education. Two groups of 35 and 31 students, ranged from 18 to 33 years old, enrolled in the entomology classes in a public university in Ecuador, participated in this project. The didactic sequence was put into practice from November 2020 to March 2021, and it was based on Marcuschi (2008). Students were asked to create a meme related to each unit of the course. To collect the data, one online questionnaire was used to get to know the participants' perspectives at the end of the semester. The results showed that the participants saw the use of memes as an untraditional type of class with positive outcomes. Also, they saw memes as a fun tool for educational purposes. So, we consider memes an essential and powerful tool for education because they permit interactivity among students, raise curiosity, foster motivation, nurture critical thinking, and help students remember the previously learned content. Considering the positive outcome of this research, we believe this study is addressed for professors of higher education in the area of Entomology who seek new methodologies to be used in class.

NIV is a method of ventilatory support which is delivered to the patient without using an invasive airway. For the last two decades it is increasingly used as an accepted method of mechanical ventilatory support as it is proved to have many positive outcomes as it can prevent invasive ventilation & its complication. In a tertiary care hospital of Bangladesh we are using this method in all patients meeting the NIV criteria & not having absolute contraindication irrespective of diagnosis. Our study aimed to access the out come of the NIV trial using our local resource & to compare it with others. This is an ongoing prospective study and till this report data from 82 patients were analyzed here of which 50% patient ended with positive outcome & 50% ended as negative outcome. As the result of this method varies significantly by diagnosis & severity of disease we are generating specific recommendations according to the likely outcome according to the diagnosis.

Exposure To Trauma

Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) serve as a risk factor for developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for those who experience additional adult trauma. However, while some individuals with ACEs develop severe PTSD symptoms following exposure to additional adult trauma, others do not. We propose that updating prior knowledge in the face of new inconsistent information may account for these individual differences. This notion is based on prior work showing that for individuals with a reduced ability to update negative-to-positive outcome associations, greater trauma is correlated with elevated PTSD symptoms. On the other hand, individuals with flexible updating do not develop such symptoms. Here, we tested whether these updating difficulties moderate the relationship between ACEs and PTSD symptoms following additional adult trauma. Firefighters (N=123, Mage=28.02, SDage=4.69) were assessed for childhood adversity and PTSD symptoms and completed a performance-based learning paradigm to evaluate updating difficulties. We predicted and found strong associations between ACEs and PTSD symptoms for individuals with reduced updating of negative–but not positive–outcomes. The results may serve as a first step toward improving mental health outcomes in individuals with ACEs and protecting them from the aversive effect of exposure to additional adult trauma.

The Impact

In many countries, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a period of lockdown that impacted individuals’ lifestyles, in both professional and personal spheres. New problems and challenges arose, as well as opportunities. Numerous studies have examined the negative effects of lockdown measures, but few have attempted to shine light on the potential positive effects that may come out of these measures. We focused on one particular positive outcome that might have emerged from lockdown: creativity. To this end, this paper compared self-reported professional creativity (Pro-C) and everyday creativity (little-c) before and during lockdown, using a questionnaire-based study conducted on a French sample (N = 1266). We expected participants to be more creative during than prior to lockdown, in both professional and everyday spheres. Regarding Pro-C, we did not see any significant differences between the two comparison points, before and during lockdown. Regarding everyday creativity, we observed a significant increase during lockdown. Furthermore, our results suggest that participants with a lower baseline creativity (before lockdown) benefited more from the situation than those with a higher initial baseline creativity. Our results provide new insights on the impact of lockdown and its positive outcomes. These measures may have inarguably negative consequences on the physical and mental health of many, but their positive impact exists as well.

AbstractArterial revascularization of the myocardium is well established and it is the gold standard.Double mammary artery in situ revascularisation seems less attractive to surgeons because of limited mammary length, scare, or no means of its length estimation. Here we hypothesized that the right mammary artery length is relative to chest anatomy, mainly to its type. We sought to estimate the feasibility, hence the mammary artery length using machine learning (neural networks). The predictive model was able to predict a positive outcome with 95% percent accuracy. (p < 0.01). Model’s sensitivity and specificity were 96% and 95% respectively.Neural networks can be used to predict double mammary feasibility using chest x-rays. Model is capable of predicting positive outcomes with 95% accuracy. Last update date “2020-12-04 15:43:45”

Objective: The study aims to empirically test the relationship between types of campus adaptations across students’ mothers’ level of nature of occupation among engineering undergraduate B. Tech students pursuing a four-year study at Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT’s) and National Institutes of Technology (NIT’s) in India.Method: The Multivariate Analysis of Variance (Manova) test was run with SPSS vs. 21 to compare the student’s campus adaptations of IIT’s and NIT’s by students’ mothers’ level of occupation. Multistage random sampling with n = 1420 students were selected comprising of employed at government (n = 172), employed at private (n =141), own a business (n = 71) employed as unskilled labourer (n = 10), farmer (n = 10), retired from government service or pensioner (n = 06), not alive (n = 03), unemployed (n = 107).Result: In the academic adaptation, students’ mothers’ who were employed by the government, owned a business, employed as unskilled labourer and pursued farming had positive outcome while students’ whose mothers’ were employed at private, retired from government service, not alive and unemployed had negative outcomes. In social adaptation students’ whose mothers’ were employed by the government, owned a business, retired from government service and unemployed had positive outcomes while students’ whose mothers’ were employed at private, employed as an unskilled labourer, pursued farming and not alive had negative outcomes. In physical - psychological adaptation, students’ mothers’ who owned a business, not alive and unemployed had positive outcomes while student’s mothers’ employed at the government, employed at private, employed as an unskilled labourer, pursued farming and retired from government service had negative outcomes. In the institutional adaptation, students’ mothers’ employed at the government, employed at private own a business, employed as an unskilled labourer, retired from government service and not alive had positive outcomes and students whose mothers’ were farmers and unemployed had negative outcomes.Conclusion: Campus adaptations do vary across student’s mother’s level of occupation influencing student’s experiences at IIT’s and NIT’s.

Abstract This paper discusses identification and estimation of causal intensive margin effects. The causal intensive margin effect is defined as the treatment effect on the outcome of individuals with a positive outcome irrespective of whether they are treated or not, and is of interest for outcomes with corner solutions. The main issue is to deal with a potential selection problem that arises when conditioning on positive outcomes. We propose using difference-in-difference methods - conditional on positive outcomes - to estimate causal intensive margin effects. We derive sufficient conditions under which the difference-in-difference estimator identifies the causal intensive margin effect. We apply the methodology to estimate the causal intensive margin effect of reaching the full retirement age on working hours.
