The disease burden from unsafe water, sanitation and hygiene (WSH) is estimated at the global level taking into account various disease outcomes, principally diarrhoeal diseases. The risk factor is defined as including multiple factors, namely the ingestion of unsafe water, lack of water linked to inadequate hygiene, poor personal and domestic hygiene and agricultural practices, contact with un...

Precepting a student who is unsafe is distressing both for the preceptor and the student. This article derives from a grounded theory study that describes the careful thought reflected in strategies used by preceptors to teach students who are unsafe. Both preceptors of undergraduates and new employees may find these strategies useful, with the ultimate goal being patient safety. The findings h...

Dynamic loading is widely used in designing and implementing software. Its benefits include modularity and generic interfaces for third-party software such as plug-ins. Dynamic loading components are utilization requires local file system access on the end host. The following problems are occurred in the local and remote dynamic components loading. In local system, the file does not exist in th...

In underdeveloped countries, where abortion is still illegal and not easily accessible, the number of unsafe abortions is soaring, as are the associated complications. However, in developed countries, where termination of pregnancy is legal and freely accessible, unsafe methods are uncommonly seen and reported. We report one such case of self induced abortion with instrumentation that presented...

Undergraduate nursing students, as members of the health care team, must uphold patient safety as a professional and moral obligation during their clinical learning experiences. To address this imperative, in a humanistic paradigm, students engage in critical appraisal of self as a developing practitioner. Using Q-methodology, this study describes undergraduate nursing students' subjective unde...

Temporary file race vulnerabilities occur when privileged programs attempt to create temporary files in an unsafe manner. “Unsafe” means “non-atomic with respect to an attacker’s activities.” There is no portable standard for safely (atomically) creating temporary files, and many operating systems have no safe temporary file creation at all. As a result, many programs continue to use unsafe mea...

Automated planning systems (APS) are maturing to the point that they have been used in experimental mode on both the NASA Deep Space 1 spacecraft and the NASA Earth Orbiter 1 satellite. One challenge is to improve the test coverage of APS to ensure that no unsafe plans can be generated. Unsafe plans can cause wasted resources or damage to hardware. Model checkers can be used to increase test co...

Food safety education is most effective when messages are targeted toward changing behaviors most likely to result in foodborne illness. The five major control factors for pathogens are personal hygiene, adequate cooking, avoiding cross-contamination, keeping food at safe temperatures, and avoiding foods from unsafe sources. Pathogens associated with poor personal hygiene have the highest incid...

We present an adaptive deadlock-free routing algorithm which decomposes a given network into two virtual interconnection networks, V IN 1 and V IN 2. V IN 1 supports deterministic deadlock-free routing, and V IN 2 supports fully-adaptive routing. Whenever a channel in V IN 1 or V IN 2 is available, it can be used to route a message. Each node is identiied to be in one of three states: safe, uns...

BACKGROUND Unsafe injection practices are prevalent worldwide and may result in spread of infection. Thus the present study was planned to observe the injection practices of healthcare professionals (HCP), including aseptic precautions and disposal of used syringes/needle. MATERIALS AND METHODS Injection practices were observed in the outpatients and inpatients departments. Questionnaire was ...
