Although most secondary schools use management information systems (MISs), these systems are primarily used for clerical purposes and are not used to a significant extent to support higher order managerial activities. This situation is less than desirable, as schools are receiving more discretion in developing school policies and MISs could be offering important assistance in this respect. Our ...

Abstract This study analyzes the memory hierarchy performance of three SPEC benchmarks and two TPC benchmarks. It nds large di erences between the benchmarks in instruction cache miss rates and smaller di erences in data cache miss rates. It then breaks all of the miss rates down in their components: context switch misses, user misses, supervisor misses, and collision misses. It demonstrates th...

This paper describes the potential contribution of near-miss management systems to improving company profitability and reducing the frequency and severity of major industrial accidents. The near-miss concept has long been understood in both manufacturing and finance, as several examples in this paper illustrate. However, what has been largely missing is the integration of near-miss management i...

Denial of pregnancy or cryptic is a common and underdiagnosed medical condition which could be big challenge in adolescent pregnancy. This case report an in-school unsuspected labour hotel room resulted near miss. As denial highly unpredictable underdiagnosed, it has become imperative to have high index suspicion able capture more people, especially the vulnerable adolescents that condition. At...

AIM To determine the frequency of near-miss (severe acute maternal morbidity) and the nature of near-miss events, and comparatively analysed near-miss morbidities and maternal deaths among pregnant women managed over a 3-year period in a Nigerian tertiary centre. METHODS Retrospective facility-based review of cases of near-miss and maternal death which occurred between 1 January 2002 and 31 D...

INTRODUCTION Cesarean section carries a substantial risk of maternal near-miss morbidity. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency, causes, risk factors, and perinatal outcomes of maternal near-miss at three university hospitals with a high rate of cesarean section in Tehran, Iran. MATERIAL AND METHODS An incident case-control study was conducted from March 2012 to May 2014. The m...

BACKGROUND Patients have about seven medical consultations a year. Despite the importance of medical interviews in the healthcare process, there is no generic instrument to assess patients' experiences in general practices, medical specialties, and surgical specialties. The main objective was to validate a questionnaire assessing patients' experiences with medical consultations in various pract...

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency, types (disease states) and outcome of severe obstetric morbidity in patients presenting at a public-sector tertiary care hospital. METHODS The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Unit II, Civil Hospital, Karachi, from April to September 2010. Consecutive cases of severe obstetric morbidity (near-miss), as defined by speci...

Index data structures are an important component of database applications. Our measurements show that for a memory resident CSB+-tree (Cache Sensitive B+ tree), the cache miss penalty now accounts for over 50% of the total running time. This is exacerbated by current trends. As a result of Moore’s law, both the CPU speed and the DRAM density have doubled every 18 months. However the cache miss ...

Copy inimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) has been potentially can be used in guiding instrumentation of every M defined by McAfee et al. (McAfee PC, 2010) as: ‘‘a procedure that by virtue of the extent and means of surgical techniques results in less collateral tissue damage, resulting in measurable decrease in morbidity and more rapid functional recovery than traditional exposures, without ...
