HW 1.02-1.27, HL 1.05-1.42, LHT 1.05-1.38, CI 0.88-0.97, FCI 0.12-0.15, REL 0.31-0.36, REL2 0.35-0.39, SI 0.72-0.76, FI 0.29-0.31, PLI 0.50-0.55, PWI 0.43-0.53. Worker diagnosis. Similar to T. grandidieri (q.v.). Basal margin of mandible lacking tooth; anterior clypeal margin broadly convex and crenulate, directed forward; head relatively broad (CI 0.88- 0.97); metanotal spiracle not visible in lateral view of mesosoma (Fig. 5), subtended laterally and anterolaterally by a pair of concavities that are separated by a transverse carina; dorsal face of propodeum broadly convex in posterior view; standing pilosity and appressed pubescence generally sparse; integument mostly sublucid, with fine coriarious/puncticulate sculpture; head and mesosoma reddish-brown, upper part of propodeum often a darker red than rest of mesosoma; metasoma and appendages paler. Comments. The worker of this species can be recognized by the absence of a tooth on the basal margin of the mandible; the more or less concolorous reddish-brown body (the upper half of propodeum is often a richer dark red, and the metasoma is paler); and the lack of a protruding metanotal spiracle when the mesosoma is viewed in profile (Fig. 5). In addition, the head tends to be broader than that of T. grandidieri and Г. hespera (CI 0.88-0.97, versus 0.77-0.88 in T. grandidieri and 0.78- 0.90 in T. hespera). From T. hespera it can also be distinguished by the ratio of metatibial length to head width (LHT/HW 1.02-1.09 in T. inermis, and 1.10-1.22 in T. hespera). In earlier identifications of muséum material I assigned the code name Tetraponera psw81 to this species. During initial examination of Tetraponera hirsuta I misidentified it as T. inermis, using the code name Tetraponera psw81. This is thebasis for the record of " Tetraponera psw081" from Manongarivo (Fisher 2002: 318). In fact, T. inermis is not known from that region. In the Forel collection (MHNG, Geneva) there is a problema tic worker from " Nosibé, village de lTmerina" [=Anosibe an'Ala at 19°26'S 48C13'E] (leg. Sikora). This worker is large (HW 1.49, LHT 1.79) and unicolored, with an elongate head (CI 0.78), yet the metanotal spiracles are not protruding in lateral view. This individuai combines features of T. inermis and T. grandidieri (unicolored form). At the moment I am unable to identify it with certainty. Distribution and biology. T. inermis occurs in eastern Madagascar from Montagne d'Anjanaharibe to the vicinity of Tolagnaro (Fort Dauphin) (Fig. 25). Collections all come from rainforest, at élévations ranging from 30 m to 1040 m. Nests are located in rotten sticks on the ground, and are small in size. At the type locality I found one dealate queen gleaning the surfaces of leaves, walking rapidly and raising her gaster in the air. She then returned to her nest -a cavity in a small soft dead twig on the ground -which proved to contain eggs, larvae and worker pupae. Thus, this species exhibits non-claustral colony-founding, a trait presumably shared with other members of the T. grandidieri group. The gasterraising behavior was observed in foraging workers of T. inermis but not those of the other two species with which T. inermis is sympatric: T. grandidieri and T. merita. Camponotus reaumuri Forel (related to C. putatus Forel) is a possible mimic of T. inermis.Published as part of Ward, P.

How can we better prepare new doctors for the tasks and challenges of ward rounds?: An observational study of junior doctors' experiences
No full textPurpose Ward rounds play a crucial role in the delivery of patient care in inpatient settings, but involve a complex mix of tasks, skills and challenges for junior doctors to negotiate. This study informs the development of high-quality training by identifying the activities that junior doctors perform, and those associated with stress during real-life ward rounds. Materials and methods All activities performed by FY1 doctors (n = 60) over 2 ward rounds were coded in real-time by a trained observer using the work observation method by activity timing (WOMBAT). Doctors' heart rate was continuously recorded and non-metabolic peaks in heart rate used as a physiological indicator of stress. Results During ward rounds, FY1 doctors commonly engaged in indirect patient care, professional communication, documentation and observation. Very little time was spent on direct patient care (6%) or explicit supervision/education (0.01%). Heart rate data indicated that stress was highest during administrative tasks while interacting directly with patients while stepping out of rounds to complete personal tasks, when answering bleeps and while multi-tasking. Conclusions Training that specifically covers the activities involved, skills required, and challenges inherent in real-life ward rounds may better prepare FY doctors for this complex area of practice
