'Nurse as Engineer' by Josefson

'Engineering' and 'architecture' have both been co-opted by cross-disciplinary explorers to help traverse what are usually cravasses between disparate fields. Or, if not a serious journey - more a day-trip than an expedition, it's an effort to create the impression of progress being (rapidly) made. Fields of knowledge being pulled - fused-together. These are transdisciplinary times:

'Individualization is best achieved in the engineering model, in which cach patient is seen as a unique case. The nurse collects and analyses the patients' data to arriye at a diagnosis, which includes, but is not limited to, issues that concern medical diagnosis and treatment. "The nurse sets obiectives based on knowledge and experience of what is desirable and achievable and designs an individualized care plan by selecting from a known repertoire of nursing interventions those most likely to lead to achievement of the objectives. After implementing the interventions, the nurse evaluates their effectiveness by comparing the client's subsequent condition with previous diagnoses and objectives."

In the last model - the non-routine model, which is a research model - the patient is still seen as unique. The problem is that the search procedures cannot be analysed because more judgement and intuition is required in making decisions.' p.25.

n.b. Two other models are described: the nurse acting as a craftsman; and the routine.

Josefson asks in a section (pp.28-29):

Who draws the boundary between Man and Machine?

Who - indeed!

In the above paper/chapter Josefson draws upon the work of Katie Eriksson and Judy Ozbolt.

My Body, My Decision: Accountability for Bodily Autonomy and Self-Care in a Rapidly Changing World

 Dec 6, 2022 08:00 AM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Bodily autonomy and decision-making are critical for the realization of everyone’s sexual and reproductive health and rights and are the cornerstone of self-care. Join the SCTG Country Advocacy Working Group (CAWG) for an in-depth discussion on mechanisms and strategies to promote accountability for bodily autonomy, agency, and self-care. What have been opportunities and challenges for the Generation Equality Forum to mobilize action in these areas and how can we strengthen accountability for local impact? What are examples of successful advocacy and accountability efforts to enhance bodily autonomy and self-care at the country level?

Find the answers to these questions and more at this virtual, SCTG CAWG event organized by White Ribbon Alliance, CEHURD, Fòs Feminista, and Global Fund for Women.

"NHS to pilot smart goggles to free up time for community nurses"

c/o Digital Health:

"The NHS is to trial the use of smart goggles that will be worn by community nurses on home visits in order to free up time with patients.

Providing that the patient consents, the virtual reality style headset can transcribe the appointment directly to electronic records, reducing time-consuming admin for nurses.

Staff will have the ability to share live footage directly with hospital colleagues to get a second opinion, avoiding the need for further appointments or hospital admission."

Data visualisation: Contributions to evidence-based decision-making

A SciDev.Net Learning Report

"Data visualisation – the visual representation of data in charts and graphs – has grown in popularity in recent years. Media outlets and research communication organisations alike have invested in the production of data visualisation, committing to the belief that visualisation is an effective form of communication.

In this report, Chapter 1 contextualises the rise of data visualisation and its purported potential to stimulate a 'data revolution' in development. The specific contributions of data visualisation to research communication goals are discussed in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 explores instances in which data visualisation is an appropriate form of research communication, recognising that it is not a ‘magic bullet’ solution to the need for more evidence informed decision-making, but should instead be used selectively. Chapter 4 discusses ways to enhance the effectiveness of data visualisation. Lastly, Chapter 5, provides concluding remarks and highlights areas in which further research and discussion are required so data visualisations can be used to the greatest effect in the research communication sector.

While a number of claims have been made around the potential of data visualisation as a communication tool, there has been a relative lack of informed discussion around the role that data visualisation can play in the research communication sector.

This report builds on our experiences of producing data visualisations and in data journalism more broadly, and brings together the lessons we have learned with insights from the broader sector of research communication. What follows will help researchers, research communication managers and journalists to make more informed decisions about when to invest in data visualisations in order to meet research communication goals."

BCS SGAI: Real AI Day October 9th: What can AI do for you?

THIRD INVITATION TO REGISTER

The BCS AI Specialist Group (SGAI) is pleased to announce a day on Artificial Intelligence in Action at the BCS London office on Friday October 9th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., which we think will be an eye-opener for those who are not up to date with recent practical developments in this important field.

Organiser Dr Gilbert Owusu, Head of Resource Management Technologies Research at BT Research & Technology, says:

"Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques are in use in many business applications including fraud detection, speech recognition, fault diagnosis, game planning and resource management. Their applicability stems from the flexibility they provide in modelling and solving real world problems. 

Real AI 2015 will provide delegates with insights (case studies) into using AI to solve business problems. The case studies will outline the business problem and the steps taken to develop business applications of AI. Real AI is aimed at those using AI or who may be interested in understanding what AI can offer, and what it is doing right now."

Real AI 2015 includes presentations on

• Designing large scale distributed participatory systems 
• How To Survive An AI Winter
