اقبال شناسی کےتناظر میں فیض اور جابر علی سید کا اختصاصی مطالعہ: Specific Study of Faiz and Jaber Ali Syed in Perspective of Iqbal Recognition
No full textAllama Muhammad Iqbal was a great thinker and poet.That is why, recognition of Iqbal has a high status in Urdu literature. Major Iqbal Dar, Naeemullah Malik, Dr. Nazir Sufi, Amanullah Khan, Asi Zia Rampuri, Khalid Nazir Sufi, Dr. Hameed Irfani, Maulvi Alif Din Nafis, Major Iqbal Dar, Yousuf Saleem Chishti, Maulana Zafar Ali Khan, Chaudhry Muhammad Hussain, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Jaber Ali Syed and other celebrities from Sialkot have done valuable work on Iqbal.In this article,two legends of Sialkot ;Faiz and Jaber Ali syed`s work on Iqbal has selected. Faiz was a poet, prose writer as well as Iqbal recognizer. Allama Iqbal and Faiz Ahmed are internationally renowned poets. Faiz had a special connection with the thought and philosophy of the Eastern poet Allama Muhammad Iqbal.Both Faiz and Iqbal belong to same region (Sialkot).Jaber Ali Syed is also considered a great Iqbal.Jaber Ali Syed is a great poet, critic, linguist and scholar as well as Iqbal recognizer. Jaber has made many literary celebrities the subject of his criticism.Recognition of Iqbal was a favorite subject of jabber`s research and criticism. He worked on the recognition of Iqbal with his heart and soul. In this regard, he has also authored books on Iqbal.This research explores recognition of Iqbal by two famous legends of Sailkot; Faiz and Jaber Ali

A review of randomized controlled trials of medical record powered clinical decision support system to improve quality of diabetes care
No full textBACKGROUND: A gap between current diabetes care practice and recommended diabetes care standards has consistently been reported in the literature. Many IT-based interventions have been developed to improve adherence to the quality of care standards for chronic illness like diabetes.OBJECTIVE: The widespread implementation of electronic medical/health records has catalyzed clinical decision support systems (CDSS) which may improve the quality of diabetes care. Therefore, the objective of the review is to evaluate the effectiveness of CDSS in improving quality of type II diabetes care. Moreover, the review aims to highlight the key indicators of quality improvement to assist policy makers in development of future diabetes care policies through the integration of information technology and system.SELECTION OF STUDY: Setting inclusion criteria, a systematic literature search was conducted using Medline, Web of Science and Science Direct. Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) tools were used to evaluate the quality of studies. Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were selected for the review. In the selected studies, seventeen clinical markers of diabetes care were discussed. Three quality of care indicators were given more importance in monitoring the progress of diabetes care, which is consistent with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. The presence of these indicators in the studies helped to determine which studies were selected for review. Clinical- and process-related improvements are compared between intervention group using CDSS and control group with usual care. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), low density lipid cholesterol (LDL-C) and blood pressure (BP) were the quality of care indicators studied at the levels of process of care and clinical outcome.FINDINGS: The review has found both inconsistent and variable results for quality of diabetes care measures. A significant improvement has been found in the process of care for all three measures of quality of diabetes care. However, weak to modest positive results are observed for the clinical measures of the diabetes care indicators. In addition to this, technology adoption of CDSS is found to be consistently low.CONCLUSION: The review suggests the need to conduct further empirical research using the critical diabetes care indicators (HbA1c, LDL-C and BP) to ascertain if CDSS improves the quality of diabetes care. Research designs should be improved, especially with regard to baseline characteristics, sample size and study period. With respect to implementation of CDSS, rather than a sudden change of clinical work practice, there should instead be an incremental, gradual adoption of technology that minimizes the disruption in clinical workflow
Analysis of Vₜₕ Variations in IGBTs Under Thermal Stress for Improved Condition Monitoring in Automotive Power Conversion Systems
No full textDue to copyright restrictions and/or publisher's policy full text access from Treasures at UT Dallas is limited to current UTD affiliates (use the provided Link to Article).Today, power conversion in automotive industry depends heavily on the reliable operation of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). Condition monitoring of IGBTs and reporting imminent faults to driver dashboard are critical for avoiding any fatal accidents. In this study, first, a comprehensive comparison is carried out between on-state collector-emitter drop (V_{ce,on}) with gate threshold voltage (Vₜₕ), as two reliable aging precursors. In order to enrich current understanding of IGBT aging prognosis, accelerated aging methods are applied under a wide variety of thermal stresses. Aging mechanisms and physical phenomena responsible for variation in both V_{ce,on} and Vₜₕ have been methodically investigated. These explanations are also supported by detailed failure analysis. Based on the extensive result sets for tested samples from different manufacturers with different structural types, it is found that V_{ce,on} show different trends at different stress levels, whereas under the same test conditions Vₜₕ provides more consistent and robust state-of-health information. Finally, an example experiment has been performed in which continuous V_{ce,on} measurements coupled with Vₜₕ information has been used to provide more insight about the device aging as well as faults in an automobile's sub-systems.Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Scienc
Remote symptom monitoring integrated into electronic health records: A systematic review
No full textObjectivePeople with long-term conditions (LTCs) require serial clinical assessments. Digital patient-reported symptoms collected between visits can inform these, especially if integrated into electronic health records (EHRs) and clinical workflows. This systematic review identified and summarized EHR-integrated systems to remotely collect patient-reported symptoms and examined their anticipated and realized benefits in LTCs.Materials and MethodsWe searched Medline, Web of Science, and Embase. Inclusion criteria were symptom reporting systems in adults with LTCs; data integrated into the EHR; data collection outside of clinic; data used in clinical care. We synthesized data thematically. Benefits were assessed against a list of outcome indicators. We critically appraised studies using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.ResultsWe included 12 studies representing 10 systems. Seven were in oncology. Systems were technically and functionally heterogeneous, with the majority being fully integrated (data viewable in the EHR). Half of the systems enabled regular symptom tracking between visits. We identified three symptom report-guided clinical workflows: Consultation-only (data used during consultation, n=5), alert-based (real-time alerts for providers, n=4) and patient-initiated visits (n=1). Few author-described anticipated benefits, primarily to improve communication and resultant health outcomes, were realized based on the study results, and only supported by evidence from early stage qualitative studies. Studies were primarily feasibility and pilot studies of acceptable quality.Discussion and ConclusionsEHR-integrated remote symptom monitoring is possible, but there are few published efforts to inform development of these systems. Currently there is limited evidence that this improves care and outcomes, warranting future robust, quantitative studies of efficacy and effectiveness
