Outcome Evaluations

Programme evaluation has become an important component of many rehabilitation initiatives in both institutional and community environments. Of key importance is a need for information on developing an evaluation framework to determine and address programme processes and outcomes. This paper presents a programme logic model used to guide the evaluation of a community rehabilitation programme for adults with brain injury. Programme logic models are visual models that provide a framework to organize and integrate information about programme inputs, processes and outcomes. The model is also used in this programme to incorporate the client-centred values of the programme. It was developed through the consensus of the entire team, and was used to plan implementation and outcome evaluations. A similar programme logic model will be useful to occupational therapists and other health care professionals planning programme evaluations of their services.

Abstract A new logic-model derivation method for leak faults observed by light-emission microscopy (LEM) or in liquid-crystal analysis (LCA) has been developed to verify those faults by comparing them with failures observed on an LSI tester. Since CMOS devices display various kinds of faulty behavior depending on leak resistance, it is essential to include the effects of this resistance in logic models. Considering that the resistance of leaks observed in LEM and LCA ranges from 10 to 10,000 ohm, the new logic models have been derived so that the leak fault could be easily incorporated into logic simulators without SPICE simulation. The feasibility of the proposed method has been demonstrated by using it to diagnose LEM and LCA faults causing logic failure in a 20k-gate logic LSI circuit.

This work presents a novel approach to prediction of financial asset prices. Its main contribution is the combination of compensatory fuzzy logic and the classical technical analysis to build an efficient prediction model. The interpretability properties of the model allow its users to incorporate and consider virtually any set of rules from technical analysis, in addition to the investors’ knowledge related to the actual market conditions. This knowledge can be incorporated into the model in the form of subjective assessments made by investors. Such assessments can be obtained, for example, from the graphical analysis commonly performed by traders. The effectiveness of the model was assessed through its systematic application in the stock and cryptocurrency markets. From the results, we conclude that when the model shows a high degree of recommendation, the actual financial assets show high effectiveness.

Category: Ankle; Arthroscopy Introduction/Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic microfracture for osteochondral lesions of the talus, in patients of older than 60 years old. Methods: Sixteen patients (16 ankles) with osteochondral lesions of the talus were treated by arthroscopic microfracture from October 2012 to June 2019. As two patients were lost to follow-up, Fourteen patients (14 ankles) participated in the study. There were 6 men (42.9%) and 8 women (57.1%) of average age 67.4years (range 60-77) at the time of surgery. Clinical outcome evaluations were performed using Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) and patient’s satisfaction after surgery at a mean follow-up of 50.8 months. Results: Mean FAOS scores improved from SYMPTOM 68.2 points (range 39-86), PAIN 65.1 points (range 36-94), ADL 69.4 points (range 32-99), SPORTS 45.4 points (range 25-80), QOL 47.1 points (range 13-94) preoperatively to SYMPTOM 94.8 points (range 68-100), PAIN 91.1 points (range 48-100), ADL 93.3 points (range 59-100), SPORTS 71.8 points (range 30-100), QOL 79.8 points (range 25-100) at final follow up. Very satisfaction in 4 (29%), Satisfaction in 7 (50%), Fair in 2 (14%), Dissatisfaction in 1 (7%), and reason for dissatisfaction was persistent pain after surgery. Conclusion: Arthroscopic microfracture for osteochondral lesions of the talus is a safe and effective procedure for old age patient.

In this article, a fuzzy logic model is proposed for more precise hourly electrical power demand modeling in New England. The issue that exists when considering hourly electrical power demand modeling is that these types of plants have a large amount of data. In order to obtain a more precise model of plants with a large amount of data, the main characteristics of the proposed fuzzy logic model are as follows: (1) it is in accordance with the conditions under which a fuzzy logic model and a radial basis mapping model are equivalent to obtain a new scheme, (2) it uses a combination of the descending gradient and the mini-lots approach to avoid applying the descending gradient to all data.
