Wearable screen-printed SERS array sensor on fire-retardant fibre gloves for on-site environmental emergency monitoring

Glove-based wearable sensors can offer the potential ability to fast and on-site environmental threat assessment, which is crucial for timely and informed incident management. In this work, an on-demand surface-enhanced...

Application of Slope Radar (S-SAR) in Emergency Monitoring of the “11.03” Baige Landslide

On October 11 and November 3, 2018, the disaster chain of landslide-barrier lake occurred twice in Baige Village, Xizang Province. After the second sliding of the landslide, the danger of the landslide dam was eliminated by the manual excavation of the drain grooves. During this period, a ground-based interferometric synthetic aperture radar (GB-InSAR) called “S-SAR” was utilized for real-time monitoring and analyzing 48 selected target pixels on the residual deformation bodies of landslides (divided into K1, K2, and K3 deformation zones) for 8 days. Through the real-time deformation map of pixels in the monitoring area obtained by S-SAR, the ranges of five strong deformation regions were identified and delineated. Based on the apparent cumulative deformation-time curve of each target pixel, the overall deformation law of K1, K2, and K3 deformation zones could be monitored and analyzed in real time. Based on a curve graph of the deformation rate, acceleration, and time of each target pixel, the K1, K2, and K3 deformation zones were within a uniform deformation stage. Taking the target pixel point and the corresponding time in which the deformation rate and deformation acceleration had a large, abrupt jump at the same time as the position and time of the near-slip failure, the 11 positions and moments of the near-slip failure were counted. The results presented here may represent a workable reference for emergency monitoring and early warning of similar sudden geological disasters.

Understanding Nurses Experiences and Perception about The Implemention of Emergency Monitoring : A Qualitative Study

ABSTRACTEmergency monitoring in the hospital is very important to be carried out, as one form of responsibility for early detection of deterioration patients. The implementation of the Early Warning System in Hospital is still being evaluated by the quality of service to find out its effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of nurses about the implementation of emergency monitoring in hospital. This study was a qualitative design. Participants were 6 female team leader nurses, with average age 35.3 y.o, and average working experience 11.3 years, used purposive sampling. Data were collected by in-depth interviews and field notes. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis method by Flick. The findings of the study identified 3 themes: (1) personal themes; (2) environmental themes; (3) Patient themes. The results showed that the implementation of emergency monitoring in the inpatients units in hospital was still not optimal. The implementation of the Early Warning System is expected to be carried out on an ongoing basis so that its implementation is effective. Socialization, training, supervision, and adequate infrastructure are needed as well as consistency algorithms for early identification of the patient's condition and getting immediate assistance.ABSTRAK Pemantauan kedaruratan di rumah sakit sangat penting dilakukan, sebagai salah satu bentuk tanggung jawab untuk deteksi dini kemunduran pasien. Penerapan Sistem Peringatan Dini di Rumah Sakit masih terus dievaluasi kualitas pelayanannya untuk mengetahui efektivitasnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengalaman dan persepsi perawat tentang pelaksanaan pemantauan kegawatdaruratan di rumah sakit. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif. Peserta penelitian adalah 6 perawat ketua tim wanita, dengan usia rata-rata 35,3 tahun, dan pengalaman kerja rata-rata 11,3 tahun, menggunakan purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara mendalam dan catatan lapangan. Data dianalisis menggunakan metode analisis tematik oleh Flick. Temuan penelitian mengidentifikasi 3 tema: (1) tema pribadi; (2) tema lingkungan; (3) Tema pasien. Kesimpulan: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pelaksanaan pemantauan kegawatdaruratan di unit rawat inap rumah sakit masih belum optimal. Penerapan Sistem Peringatan Dini diharapkan dapat dilakukan secara berkesinambungan agar pelaksanaannya efektif. Dibutuhkan sosialisasi, pelatihan, supervisi, dan infrastruktur yang memadai serta konsistensi algoritme untuk identifikasi awal kondisi pasien dan mendapatkan bantuan segera.
