No full textSarah Robinson and Peter Griffiths explore other countries’ approaches to pre-registration nurse education. The publication of Modernising Nursing Careers in 2006 by the Department of Health recommended a review of pre-registration nurse education in the UK. The purpose of the review is to ensure that pre-registration education provides the appropriate basis for reforming the nursing careers framework, developing a competent and flexible workforce and achieving an optimum balance between specialist and generalist roles (1)....<br/

Results of expert judgments on the faults and risks with Autosub3 and an analysis of its campaign to Pine Island Bay, Antarctica, 2009
No full textProbabilistic risk assessment is a methodology that can be systematically applied to estimate the risk associated with the design and operation of complex systems. The National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK has developed a risk management process tailored to the operation of autonomous underwater vehicles. Central to the application of the risk management process is a probabilistic risk assessment. The risk management process was applied to estimate the risk associated with an Autosub3 science campaign in the Pine Island Glacier, Antarctica, and to support decision making. The campaign was successful. In this paper we present the Autosub3 risk model and we show how this model was used to assess the campaign risk

Theoretical Loss and Gambling Intensity (Revisited): A Response to Braverman et al. (2013)
No full textIn this paper, we provide a brief response to Braverman and colleagues’ (2013) critique of our ‘Theoretical Loss’ metric as a measure of monetary gambling intensity (Auer & Griffiths, 2013; Auer, Schneeberger & Griffiths, 2012). We argue that ‘gambling intensity’ and ‘gambling involvement’ are essentially the same construct as descriptors of monetary gambling activity. Additionally, we acknowledge that playing duration (i.e., the amount of time – as opposed to money – actually spent gambling) is clearly another important indicator of gambling involvement – something that we have consistently noted in our previous studies including our empirical studies on gambling using behavioural tracking data. Braverman and colleagues claim that the concept of Theoretical Loss is nullified when statistical analysis focuses solely on one game type as the house edge is constant across all games. In fact, they state, the correlation between total amount wagered and Theoretical Loss is perfect. Unfortunately, this is incorrect. To disprove the claim made, we demonstrate that in sports betting (i.e., a single game type), the amount wagered does not reflect monetary gambling involvement using actual payout percentage data (based on 52,500 independent bets provided to us by an online European bookmaker). After reviewing the arguments presented by Braverman and colleagues, we are still of the view that when it comes to purely monetary measures of ‘gambling intensity’, the Theoretical Loss metric is a more robust and accurate measure than other financial proxy measures such as ‘amount wagered’ (i.e., bet size) as a measure of what players are prepared to financially risk while gambling
RN+RN = better care? What do we know about the association between the number of nurses and patient outcomes?
No full textThere is considerable evidence of an association between nurse staffing levels and patient outcomes. The evidence has been used to support calls for mandatory nurse patient ratios but the precise significance of the relationship remains unclear. This Policy+ examines the evidence in order to establish what is known, and crucially, what is not known
