Fifty interactions between healthcare workers and patients were observed to obtain a quantifiable definition of “high-touch” (ie, frequently touched) surfaces based on frequency of contact. Five surfaces were defined as high-touch surfaces: the bed rails, the bed surface, the supply cart, the over-bed table, and the intravenous pump.

Market power is a complex matter that is approximated with quantitative indicators within economics. However, these indicators may not fully capture market power, or they may fail to identify it, although it may be present. Moreover, a quantitative approach restricts market power as a concept, impeding the ability to discuss its relationship with other concepts, such as sustainability. This paper extends the definition of market power, following Foucault’s understanding of power and the associated theoretical discussions of power from different disciplines. We extended Foucault’s work by including systems thinking to capture the importance of the prevalent system’s paradigm, which is the ultimate initiator of action. Apart from distinguishing different elements of power, we also integrate an instrumental view on the elements of power. The developed frame allows us to understand the dynamic character of power as a force that strives to maintain or ameliorate the position of the paradigm that it serves. Based on this frame, we outline how this extended understanding of power can be used to analyze market power itself, and its relation with sustainability.

In the case of one-dimensional cellular automaton (CA), a hybrid CA (HCA) is the member whose evolution of the cells is dependent on nonunique global functions. The HCAs exhibit a wide range of traveling and stationary localizations in their evolution. We focus on HCA with memory (HCAM) because they produce a host of gliders and complicated glider collisions by introducing the hybrid mechanism. In particular, we undertake an exhaustive search of gliders and describe their collisions using quantitative approach in HCAM[Formula: see text]. By introducing the symbol vector space and exploiting the mathematical definition of HCAM, we present an analytical method of complex asymptotic dynamics of the gliders.

This paper presents an evaluation of the failure probability and cost of high energy piping (HEP) failures. Using a conventional definition of risk as the product of failure probability and failure consequence, we propose in this paper a dollar value of consequence in order to develop a quantitative approach to risk-based inspection (RBI) methodology. A 16-year historical database of probability and consequence was evaluated as an RBI methodology for devising a life management strategy for welds in main steam and hot reheat piping systems. This evaluation provides us the raw data necessary for producing a concrete example of this new Richter-scale-like approach. Uncertainty in consequence and probability estimates is also provided in plotting (a) a static consequence vs. likelihood diagram at a specific time for comparing the relative severity of a variety of potential failures, and (b) a dynamic risk vs. time diagram for a specific hardware under continuous monitoring where the effect of life management decisions over a period of time is quantitatively displayed. Significance of this new approach to risk-based inspection strategy for advancing the state-of-the-art of managing aging structures is discussed.

Today risk based inspection (RBI) has become very popular as it allows the inspection budget to be used more efficiently compared to conventional inspection procedures. The key parts of a risk based inspection programme for aged pipelines is the determination of all relevant risk driving effects for each specific pipeline, the definition of acceptance criteria and the assessment of the residual lifetime for the pipeline. These tasks require a high level of co-operation with the pipeline operator and the RBI-experts. This paper describes some of the major aspects of the methodology developed to estimate the risk to offshore pipelines. Based on the assessment of the risk an optimised inspection strategy can be developed. The complete RBI-process typically starts by gathering all relevant data used in design phase (including construction phase) and operation phase. In most cases a variety of risk assessment methods will be used, depending on the quality of existing pipeline data. When insufficient data is available a simple qualitative assessment with an index procedure can be used. With more detailed data available the method becomes a semi-quantitative approach. This paper presents the results of a general risk assessment of 22 aged offshore pipelines. Although only basic data has been available this was sufficient to work out reliable results within a semi-quantitative approach. Depending on varying wall thickness, diameter, etc. a pipeline was divided into several different segments. The assessment reveals different governing threats and failure modes for pipelines and risers, like ageing, free span or corrosion. In a final step the results of the risk assessment are used for the optimisation of the inspection intervals within the proposed risk based inspection framework.

Innovation of the latest technology with better capabilities and latest features that have the purpose or function to be more practical and useful or gadget. As it grows, the definition of gadget is growing into a wider anyway. Many people assume that smartphone is a gadget. There is also a thought that the computer or laptop with new technology is gadget. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the used of gadget at home with social emotional development of children aged 3-5 years in PAUD Dellia Creative School. This research used a correlational study with quantitative approach. Samples were taken by using purposive sampling as many as 37 respondents.The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire, by using indirectly questionnaires. The statistical test by using the formula of product moment correlation, with an error rate (?) = 0.05.  The research results get the value of tcount is 1.26 and ttableis 1.6905. Value of correlation between the used of gadget with social emotional development of children aged 3-5 years is 0.21, which means the correlation is very low. The conclusion of this research that there is no significant correlation between the used of gadget at home with social emotional development of children aged 3-5 years in PAUD Dellia Creative School. Key words: Correlation, The used of gadget, Social Emotional Development of Children.

1. The definition of “normal” stars in spectral classification changes with time; at the time of the publication of theYerkes Spectral Atlasthe term “normal” was applied to stars whose spectra could be fitted smoothly into a two-dimensional array. Thus, at that time, weak-lined spectra (RR Lyrae and HD 140283) would have been considered peculiar. At the present time we would tend to classify such spectra as “normal”—in a more complicated classification scheme which would have a parameter varying with metallic-line intensity within a specific spectral subdivision.
