This paper, part of a series on hospital pharmacy across the globe, discusses current hospital pharmacy practice in Belgium. The paper is organized around the building blocks of the World Health Organization’s Health Systems Framework and covers the following topics: health information; health system leadership, governance, and financing; health workforce; health service delivery; access to med...

In this work, we present a novel method for combining predictions of object detection models: weighted boxes fusion. Our algorithm utilizes confidence scores all proposed bounding to constructs the averaged boxes. We tested on several datasets and evaluated it in context Open Images COCO Object Detection tracks, achieving top results these challenges. The source code is publicly available at ht...

in this paper, we develop a freight transportation model for railway network considering hazmat transportation issue. in the transportation system considered, different customers can request for carrying hazmat and non- hazmat boxes. it is assumed that the sequence of the trains in the network is known. the objective is assigning the non-hazmat boxes and hazmat boxes to wagons of the trains so ...

Moving objects of interest (MOOIs) in surveillance videos are detected and encapsulated by bounding boxes. Since moving objects are defined by temporal activities through the consecutive video frames, it is necessary to examine a group of frames (GoF) to detect the moving objects. To do that, the traces of moving objects in the GoF are quantified by forming a spatiotemporal gradient map (STGM) ...

We investigate the ergodic properties of a general class of infinite systems of independent particles which undergo nontrivial "collisions" with an external field, e.g. fixed convex barriers (the Lorentz gas). We relate the ergodic properties of these systems to the ergodic properties for a single particle moving in a finite box (with periodic boundary conditions) with the same dynamics. We pro...

Adults (n = 25) completed online free text boxes about their self-harming behaviour. Thematic analysis identified three dominant themes: 'managing the private self', 'managing the public self' and 'moving on'. Transcending these themes was the notion of thresholds of change. Self-harm enables people to manage both their private and public selves. When thresholds of change are surpassed, the pub...

We discuss a mathematical model of migration channel based on the truncated Waring distribution. The truncated Waring distribution is obtained for a more general model of motion of substance through a channel containing finite number of boxes. The model is applied then for case of migrants moving through a channel consisting of finite number of countries or cities. The number of migrants in the...
