BACKGROUND The prevalence of unplanned pregnancy in Saudi Arabia has not been thoroughly investigated. OBJECTIVE To conduct a psychometric evaluation study of the Arabic version of the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy (LMUP). METHODS To evaluate the psychometric properties of the LMUP, we conducted a self-administered online survey among 796 ever-married Saudi women aged 20-49 years, a...

This paper examines the evolution of unplanned coordination among independent agents in a market selection game, which is a non-cooperative repeated game with many agents and several markets. Every agent is supposed to simultaneously choose a single market for maximizing its own payoff obtained by selling its product at the selected market. It is assumed that the market price is determined by t...

Abstract Sublevel shrinkage (SLSh) is an underground mining method similar to sublevel caving (SLC) but with continuous backfilling from the top. It features a top-down sequence production drifts orientated in longitudinal or transverse way orebody. Fan drilling and blasting done drifts, where ore then drawn. While drawing, backfill introduced at top flows down by gravity, which supports walls ...

BACKGROUND Multimorbidity, the presence of more than 1 long-term disorder, is associated with increased use of health services, but unplanned admissions to hospital may often be undesirable. Furthermore, socioeconomic deprivation and mental health comorbidity may lead to additional unplanned admissions.

BACKGROUND Unplanned re-attendance at the Emergency Department (ED) is often monitored as a quality indicator of the care accorded to patients during their index ED visit. High bed occupancy rate (BOR) has been considered as a matter of reduced patient comfort and privacy. Most hospitals in Singapore operate under BORs above 85 %. This study aims to explore factors associated with the unplanned...

In this work, we argue that current state-of-theart methods of aircraft localization such as multilateration are insufficient, in particular for modern crowdsourced air traffic networks with random, unplanned deployment geometry. We propose an alternative, a grid-based localization approach using the k-Nearest Neighbor algorithm, to deal with the identified shortcomings. Our proposal does not r...

BACKGROUND Patients at high risk of emergency hospitalisation are particularly likely to experience fragmentation in care. The virtual ward model attempts to integrate health and social care by offering multidisciplinary case management to people at high predicted risk of unplanned hospitalisation. OBJECTIVE To describe the care practice in three virtual ward sites in England and to explore h...

BACKGROUND Whereas composite end points are often used in clinical trials of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), the impact of individual components on subsequent survival is incompletely defined. We evaluated the association of subsequent acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and unplanned coronary revascularization post-PCI with long-term survival. METHODS AND RESULTS From 2009 to 2011, the...
