ABSTRACT
High quality laboratory measurements of nearshore waves and morphology change at, or near prototype-scale are essential to support new understanding of coastal processes and enable the development and validation of predictive models. The DynaRev experiment was completed at the GWK large wave flume over 8 weeks during 2017 to investigate the response of a sandy beach to water level rise and varying wave conditions with and without a dynamic cobble berm revetment, as well as the resilience of the revetment itself. A large array of instrumentation was used throughout the experiment to capture: (1) wave transformation from intermediate water depths to the runup limit at high spatio-temporal resolution, (2) beach profile change including wave-by-wave changes in the swash zone, (3) detailed hydro and morphodynamic measurements around a developing and a translating sandbar.
ABSTRACT
A multidisciplinary team was formed to look at consolidating and improving patient education for patients preparing to undergo total knee replacement or total hip replacement. The objective was to encompass disciplines from across the continuum of care, beginning with the surgeon's office through postdischarge rehabilitation. Project goals for the team were to develop the "ideal" pre and postoperative orders for total joint patients, review and revise current clinical and patient pathways for the total knee replacement patient and the total hip replacement patient, add rehabilitation services to clinical pathways, and develop a patient education class and patient education booklet. This article describes how working together with all disciplines involved resulted in a consolidated order set, clinical and patient pathways that reflected actual care and processes, a user-friendly patient education book, and a multidisciplinary patient education class. The end products led to consistency in the quality of care across the continuum from preadmission through postdischarge rehabilitation for total joint replacement patients.

Objetivo: Determinar las características laborales del médico joven egresado de la Facultad de Medicina San Fernando. Diseño: Estudio observacional, transversal. Lugar: Facultad de Medicina San Fernando, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Participantes: Médicos egresados de la Facultad de Medicina. Intervenciones: Se recolectó datos sociodemográficos, del desempeño laboral, grado profesional, nivel de satisfacción y desempeño extracurricular del pregrado, en 232 médicos egresados de la Facultad de Medicina San Fernando entre 1994 y 2003, elegidos al azar. La recolección se llevó a efecto mediante entrevista directa, telefónica o cuestionario vía correo electrónico. También se obtuvo las notas finales del pregrado de los sujetos. Principales medidas de resultados: Índice de empleo, tipo de labor, desempeño, especialización. Resultados: El 72,4 por ciento estuvo representado por varones, 73,2 por ciento radicaba en Lima, 19,3 por ciento en provincias y 7,5 por ciento en el extranjero; 97 por ciento tenía trabajo remunerado, 51,4 por ciento de ellos tenía 2 o más trabajos; 71por ciento trabajaba en el sector público. El tipo de labor predominante fue el asistencial; 78,8 por ciento alcanzaba el desempeño laboral esperado; 64,9 por ciento era especialista o estaba en proceso de especialización; 15,4 por ciento tenía o estudiaba una maestría. No se encontró relación significativa entre factores del pregrado y las características laborales o profesionales. Conclusiones: El índice de empleo fue alto. El centralismo, trabajo médico múltiple, modelo centrohospitalario público asistencial y la tendencia a la especialización fueron predominantes.
Objective: To determine the working characteristics of young physicians graduated from San Fernando School of Medicine. Design: Observational, transversal study. Setting: San Fernando School of Medicine, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos. Participants: Physicians graduated from the School of Medicine. Interventions: Information about sociodemographics, work performance, professional degree, satisfaction level and extracurricular performance during pregrade was collected directly, by phone interview or by e-mail questionnaire from 232 randomly selected physicians graduated between 1994 and 2003. We also obtained pregrade final scores. Main outcome measures: Working rate, labor type, work performance, especialization. Results: From all subjects 72,4 per cent were men, 73,2 per cent lived in Lima, 19,3 per cent lived outside of Lima and 7,5 per cent abroad; 97 per cent had remunerated work, 51,4 per cent had two or more jobs; 71 per cent worked for public institutions. The predominant kind of work was clinical; 78,8 per cent reached the required work performance; 64,9 per cent was specialized; 15,4 per cent had or studied for a master degree. No relationship between pregrade factors and work or professional characteristics was found. Conclusions: Working rate was high. Centralism, multiple jobs, clinical care in public hospitals and tendency to become specialized were predominant.
