Context: Large‐scale, whole‐systems interventions in health care require imaginative approaches to evaluation that go beyond assessing progress against predefined goals and milestones. This project evaluated a major change effort inner London, funded by charitable donation of approximately $21 million, which spanned four large organizations, covered three services (stroke, kidney, sexual health), sought “modernize” these with view making more efficient, effective, patient centered. Methods:...
Abstract Aim This paper reviews the biogeography of Australian monsoon tropical biome to highlight general patterns in distribution a range organisms and their environmental correlates evolutionary history, as well identify knowledge gaps. Location Northern Australia, Monsoon Tropics (AMT). The AMT is defined by areas that receive more than 85% rainfall between November April. Methods Literature summarized, including origin climate, present‐day environment, biota habitat types, phylogenetic...
Today, decisions regarding the management and conservation of populations are often informed to some degree by population genetics.A fundamental measure sought decisionmakers is connectivity between populations, which, when approached from a genetic perspective, may be influenced many factors, making it difficult generalize across taxa, habitats, or life histories.In case freshwaterlimited fauna, shared constraint habitat structure (e.g., dendritic stream network) imposed on all species in...
Headwaters (stream orders 1–2) traditionally have been considered depauperate compared to mid-order streams (orders 3–4)—a conclusion that arises from a perception of as linear systems and emphasizes change in average α (local) diversity along streams. We hypothesized an opposite pattern for β (among-site) suggest headwaters might account large degree basin-scale biodiversity if within the more realistic framework branching networks. assembled pre-existing data across globe test this...
Analysis of genetic variation among populations stream invertebrates provides a measure the consequences effective dispersal, and can be used to determine extent movement within between streams infer likely mechanisms involved. In our recent studies rainforest invertebrates, we have found considerable differentiation fully aquatic taxa, indicating limited in-stream on very small scale. Adult flight appears principal mechanism dispersal for insects; however, analysis structure larval some...
Summary 1. The ‘Field of Dreams Hypothesis’ states ‘if we build it, they will come’, referring to the assumption that if habitats are restored, species recolonise them. However, ability a restored site depend not only on appropriate habitat being present, but also get there. This is likely both species’ dispersal behaviour and position in landscape. 2. Animals with good potential for more be able disperse newly sites. Similarly, sites lowland streams limited altitudinal differences between...
There is little strong evidence relating to the impact of single-room accommodation on healthcare quality and safety. We explore all single rooms staff patient experience; safety outcomes; costs.Mixed methods pre/post 'move' comparison within four nested case study wards in a acute hospital with 100% rooms; quasi-experimental before-and-after two control hospitals; analysis capital operational costs associated rooms.Two-thirds patients expressed preference for comfort outweighing any...
The genetic structure of populations Baetis sp. (Ephemeroptera:Baetidae) was used to draw inferences about the means dispersal within and between stream systems Conondale Range, Queensland, Australia. Allozyme electrophoresis examine allelic frequencies at five variable loci in geographically distant nymphs same drainage nearby different drainages. results showed widespread gene flow drainages a tendency for local differentiation. We concluded that adult flight represents an effective...
Peer support schemes of various types are commonly offered to patients as an adjunct health and social care services provided by professionals. For with chronic illness, peer interventions have recently become associated more directive attempts increase self management improve healthcare outcomes. There is little qualitative research on patients' experiences one-to-one support.To explore kidney receiving individual support.Two large teaching hospital renal units in South London, for the...
Objective This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with delayed discharge of older people from hospital and their length stay (LOS). Methods Data were collected retrospectively inpatient records adult social care services on patients referred latter prior discharge. Results two related measures—delayed LOS—were analysed separately within a four‐stage sequential framework. Using bivariate analysis, we found that cognitive impairment dependency significantly delay. Patients...

Demand is growing in developing countries for sexual and reproductive health programs young people. However, little scientifically based evidence exists about which program approaches are most effective shaping healthy behaviors. Careful evaluation research must be increased, but meanwhile, planners need guidance as they expand programming. Research indicates that current often do not match the needs health-seeking behaviors of Behavioral theories expert opinion agree adolescents taught...
The Indo–West Pacific is characterized by extraordinary marine species diversity. evolutionary mechanisms responsible for generating this diversity remain puzzling, but are often linked to Pleistocene sea level fluctuations. impact of these changes on the population genetic architecture estuarine fish Lates calcarifer investigated via a natural experiment in region known have undergone considerable change during Pleistocene. L. calcarifer, coastline–restricted catadromous teleost, provides...
A phylogeographic survey was used to elucidate the relative roles of historical processes and contemporary gene flow in structuring genetic pattern observed with Mogurnda adspersa. This species freshwater fish is found rivers streams northeastern highlands Queensland, Australia. Specifically, this project focused on populations Tully Herbert Rivers Atherton Tablelands. Sequence analysis indicated that three distinct clades exist headwaters River. The population sampled from one River...
Abstract Objective To evaluate a model of intensive case management for people with dementia based in community‐based mental health service older people. Method Quasi‐experimental design. Individuals one community team setting received and were compared those similar without such service. Fortythree matched pairs identified. Eligible their carers interviewed at uptake again 6 12 months. Results The impact the scheme upon placement occurred second year end which 51% experimental group...
We used measures of genetic differentiation at seven allozyme loci to estimate the degree movement a stream invertebrate within and between catchments. Populations Paratya australiensis, common atyid shrimp, were sampled from three rainforest streams each two subcatchments in adjacent drainage systems southeast Queensland. Marked was observed all loci, suggesting extremely limited on small spatial scale. This result is surprising given widespread geographic distribution P. australiensis...
The population genetic structure of the estuarine crab, Scylla serrata (Forskål, 1775), was examined among shelf-connected locations and across a historical bio-geographic barrier. Over 300 individuals were sampled from multiple within coastal regions (western, northern eastern) Australia analysed for mutational differences at mitochondrial coding gene (COI). Analysis molecular variance indicated haplotypes to be structured regionally (P < 0.001), which contrasted with evidence panmixia...
