BACKGROUND In 2009, the Dutch Health Care Inspectorate (IGZ) observed several serious risks to safety involving medication within elderly care facilities. However, by 2011, high risks had been reduced in almost all the organisations we visited. And yet the IGZ analysed too the alarming increase in the number of incidents arising in the self-reported national indicator of medication safety betwe...

Self-training is a simple semi-supervised learning approach: Unlabelled examples that attract high-confidence predictions are labelled with their and added to the training set, this process being repeated multiple times. Recently, self-supervision—learning without manual supervision by solving an automatically-generated pretext task—has gained prominence in deep learning. This paper investigate...

Bootstrap Your Own Latent (BYOL) introduced an approach to self-supervised learning avoiding the contrastive paradigm and subsequently removing computational burden of negative sampling associated with such methods. However, we empirically find that image representations produced under BYOL's self-distillation are poorly distributed in representation space compared This work demonstrates featur...

All rights reserved. 0026-8232/2005/10204-0003$10.00 Demographers and historians refer to the eighteenth century as the “century of illegitimacy,”1 pointing out that “in every city in England and the continent for which data are available, the upsurge of illegitimacy commenced around 1750 or before.”2 Whereas scholars such as Edward Shorter, Peter Laslett, L...

Our research draws upon social cognitive theory and incorporates a regulatory approach to investigate why and when abusive supervision influences employee creative performance. The analyses of data from multiple time points and multiple sources reveal that abusive supervision hampers employee self-efficacy at work, which in turn impairs employee creative performance. Further, employee mindfulne...

Although competency-based education is well established in health care education, research shows that the competencies do not always match the reality of clinical workplaces. Therefore, there is a need to design feasible and evidence-based competency frameworks that fit the workplace reality. This theoretical paper outlines a competency-based framework, designed to facilitate learning, assessme...

AIMS The aim of this research was to explore and capture complementary therapists' experiences of and preparation for working with patients in an acute cancer care setting. METHOD Semi structured interviews with therapists (n = 18) in an acute cancer hospital in the North West of England. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using thematic coding. RESULTS Key themes identified inclu...

Depth information is essential for on-board perception in autonomous driving and driver assistance. Monocular depth estimation (MDE) very appealing since it allows appearance being on direct pixelwise correspondence without further calibration. Best MDE models are based Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) trained a supervised manner, <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns...
