OBJECTIVES To identify barriers and facilitators in the implementation of recommendations for the prevention of hand eczema among healthcare workers alongside a randomized controlled trial. METHODS ...

In our project BSopt we have developed a model-driven approach towards inter-organizational systems. During its evaluation phase we recognized that different partner networks operate similar, but still slightly differ in some details. However, our current approach is limited with respect to re-use of models or parts thereof for different partner networks. Thus, we plan to incorporate well estab...

The work described in this paper presents an approach on scheduling in a virtual enterprise in the tourism sector. This scheduling scenario has to reconcile customers’ and service providers’ interests. That is, the customer’s temporal constraints on when to consume the service, and the service provider’s preferences on when to accept a booking. An algorithm is being developed for this situation...

BACKGROUND The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) is an integrative framework developed from a synthesis of psychological theories as a vehicle to help apply theoretical approaches to interventions aimed at behavior change. PURPOSE This study explores experiences of TDF use by professionals from multiple disciplines across diverse clinical settings. METHODS Mixed methods were used to exami...

The objectives in workload characterization for parallel systems are to provide adequate representations of the programs and the associated data and to characterize the way in which these programs are submitted to the system (user interaction). In this work a systematic framework and a corresponding methodology for workload modeling of parallel systems is proposed. The corresponding methodology...

BACKGROUND Correctional Officers (COs) have among the highest injury rates and poorest health of all the public safety occupations. The HITEC-2 (Health Improvement Through Employee Control-2) study uses Participatory Action Research (PAR) to design and implement interventions to improve health and safety of COs. METHOD HITEC-2 compared two different types of participatory program, a CO-only "...

BACKGROUND 'Individual Plan' is a master-plan intended to increase user-participation and provide better coordination of measures for patients in need ...

BACKGROUND A 2-day consensus working meeting, hosted by the United States National Institutes of Health and the Veterans Administration, focused on issues related to dissemination and implementation (D&I) research in measurement and reporting. Meeting participants included 23 researchers, practitioners, and decision makers from the USA and Canada who concluded that the field would greatly benef...

This proposal adds a function template (std::minmax) and / or an algorithm (std::minmax_element) to the header , both of which are implicitly present (by two separate calls to std::min and std::max, or std::min_element and std::max_element), but admit a better implementation if the two calls are combined into one. Both additions can be considered independently, although they are stro...

To address macro-social and economic determinants of health and equity, there has been growing use of intersectoral action by governments around the world. Health in All Policies (HiAP) initiatives are a special case where governments use cross-sectoral structures and relationships to systematically address health in policymaking by targeting broad health determinants rather than health service...
