Comparative Poisson trials for comparing multiple new treatments to the control
No full textComparative Poisson Trials often test interventions to prevent rare adverse binomial outcomes. We extend Gail’s “Design A” approach to continues the trial until a predetermined total number of disease cases, D, occur into comparing K>1, treatments to one control. Controlling overall type I error and a post-hoc procedures to identify which treatments are better are addressed. With the Poisson as the underlying distribution, conditioning on D disease cases total, the number in each group is multinomial distributed with parameters that depend on the incidence ratios of treatment to the control arms. Rejection regions based on the 1) numbers of cases that occur in control and/or 2) minimum number of cases among treatment groups are considered to test the global null hypothesis that no treatment is superior to the control. A tool known as the stochastic matrix simplifies size and power computations. Decision rules which are robust to some treatments being inferior to the control are discussed. There is no uniformly most powerful test against all alternatives, but rejection regions should have the Lower Left Quadrant Rule property. The discreteness of multinomial complicates derivation of theoretical results. Still, some identities are proven for comparing K=2 treatments to the control that we believe will extend to K ≥ 3. For K=2, the post-hoc procedure that applies standard binomial tests to each individual treatment vs. control hypothesis when the global hypothesis is rejected is superior to the Bonferroni adjustment; reducing by 7 % to 18 % the follow up disease cases required for the range of settings we studied. We considered unbalanced allocation of follow up time to treatment and control groups. While discreteness of the multinomial distribution prevents analytic solution, a systematic point by point search that computes powers for a range of treatment / control allocation ratios with small increments is applied to find the optimum allocation ratio. In most cases the optimum allocation ratios do not perform substantially better than equal allocation in terms of minimization of the D or expected subject time needed to obtain D for given Type-1 error or power.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Tzu-Lin Hs
Writing a Wikipedia Article on Cultural Competence in Health Care
No full textThis article describes how librarians created a Wikipedia article on cultural competence in health care to support the medical school’s curriculum. Wikipedia, often considered not as reliable as scholarly articles, continues to be popular. Rutgers librarians conducted a Wikipedia project to improve its content to benefit students. The importance of cultural competency in health care is widely recognized due to increasingly diverse patient populations. Medical schools integrate cultural competency in curricula to train students to be culturally competent. Therefore, this topic was chosen for the Wikipedia Project. It is hoped that health sciences librarians and educators will benefit from their experience
The Study on Kuan-yin Tzu-lin Chi
No full textAbstract
This paper aims to analyze Kuan-yin Tzu-lin Chi (Compassionate Grove of Kuan-yin) compiled by Hung-tsan in Ching Dynasty. One part of Kuan-yin Tzu-lin Chi includes eleven pieces of classics related to Kuan-yin, and the other part contains kan-ying (stimulus and response) tales, composed of two subsections. The latter part of Kuan-yin Tzu-lin Chi involves 154 kan-ying tales about Kuan-yin (including nine tales from India), which were collected from Ch`in Ch\ue2\ub2in to Ching Dynasty and recorded on 26 pieces of Chinese literature. In these tales, people chanted the name of Kuan-yin or recited The Heart Sutra, Kuan-yin Ching (Chapter of Universal Gateway), or The Great Compassionate Dharani to meet their practical needs in life.
This paper includes six chapters, and the method adopted is literature analysis. First of all, the derivation of the worship in Kuan-yin and the popularity of such belief among the Asian world are discussed. Subsequently, accounts are given that from possessing the conferral by the Buddha of the prediction of the attainment of Buddhahood in the future, Kuan-yin has been kind and compassionate to the end of all time. In addition, Kuan-yin has vowed to benefit the sentient beings, be profoundly compassionate, and build the relationship in the secular world. In order to save all sentient beings and manifest physically, Kuan-yin can give practical benefits to them, including invoking the name, satisfying two kinds of seeking, deleting three basic evil afflictions, solving eight difficulties, and creating fourteen fearlessness. To prove Kuan-yin\ue2s benevolent power, the kan-ying tales from Kuan-yin Tzu-lin Chi, Kuan-yin Chi-yen Chi, and other literature are cited. Apart from that, with the progress of the Buddha\ue2s teaching, and the extension of kan-ying tales about Kuan-yin, research on Kuna-yin\ue2s impact on literature and Buddhism is conducted to verify the Universal Gateway belief in \ue2Great kindness is to build absolute trust for all the sentient beings, and great compassion is to save them.\ue

No full textOn Concept of "Shue" (Emptiness) in Lieh-Tzu
No full textThis paper divided into four parts: (i)preface; (ii)the conception of "shue" in Lieh-Tzu; (iii)The conception in Toaistic school in the Pre-Chin; (iv) conclusion. The author deals with this concept based upon the recent studies-the book of Lieh-Tzu is not an apocrypha. Lieh-Tzu conceived that the saint is the highest stage of human life. The issue is how do one achieve it. His answer is "shue." It has two denotations-"kung-fu" (drill) and the mental stage. "Shue" is not only in the realm of language and conceptual, but also in that of practice. The method of practice is by intellectual reflection and meditation from the concentration of consciousness to that of spirit. Finally, it can unify his spirit with nothing. Nothing is "tao" from the Taoistic point of view. Lieh-Tzu followed the method of the ancient Taoism in practice. But author contends that the method is derived from Lao-Tzu's "shue" of imitating "heaven" which is different from Kuan-Yin-Tzu's in-terpretation of it, that is, "chin" (stillness) of imitating "earth." From historical viewpoint, Lieh-Tzu dealed with the notion of "shue" in order to provide an answer to the meaninglessness of life of the people and disturbance of the society in the warring states period. The author believes that it is the right prescription for it
