Test review of Iranian university entrance exam: English Konkur examination

The present paper appraises a standardized test, the entrance exam of Iranian universities, known as “Konkur” that is administered annually as a means of gaining admission to higher education in Iran. This norm-referenced test is administered for students majoring in mathematics, experimental sciences, and humanities whose scores along their weighted GPAs in the last 3 years of high school are used as indicators of students’ rank. Based on the rank achieved, they would find the opportunity to select the highly regarded university for their education. Due to the importance of such a high-stake test which may bring about social and long-time consequences for the participants, the present paper tries to evaluate the test and its psychometrics aspects. It is ostensible that the exam provides a limited situation for measuring the participants “knowledge of language” rather than their “knowledge about language.” Therefore, the dimensionality and validity of the test are debatable. Thus, the present review tries to characterize Konkur examination and discusses the rooms for untouched aspects for the betterment of its quality.

Literature Review Uji Evaluasi Sediaan Krim

The format of preparation cosmetic in a cream form is still popular in Indonesia, especially for the women. Because its easier to applied, and more comfortable. Literature review of evaluation cream preparation test is to compare the results of cream evaluation preparation from the previous researches, in order to get the best test results and accordance with specified conditions. The general purpose of this research is to know the results of Literature review of evaluation cream preparation test from several journals. Method This research is qualitative research which is Library research Cream evaluation preparation is a Parameters that have been established to determine the stability of cream preparation including organoleptic test, pH test, homogeneity test, type cream test, viscosity test, and scattering test. From the result of organoleptic test, pH test, viscosity test and scattering test review have the results partial test standards, and some doesn’t. this is due to the temperature factor, excessive extract concentration and chemical reaction at the time of storage is accelerated. Whereas at the results of homogeneity test have a quite good homogeneity, and in a type cream test has A/M and M/A type cream.Keywords:Evaluation of cream preparationOrganoleptic testpH testHomogenity testType cream test ABSTRAK Bentuk sediaan kosmetik berupa krim sampai saat ini masih banyak digemari oleh masyarakat Indonesia khususnya kaum wanita karena lebih mudah diaplikasikan, lebih nyaman digunakan. Literatur Review Uji Evaluasi Sediaan Krim adalah untuk membandingkan hasil evaluasi sediaan krim dari penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya agar mendapatkan hasil uji yang terbaik dan sesuai dengan ketentuan yang telah ditetapkan. Tujuan Umum dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hasil Literatur Review uji evaluasi sediaan krim dari berberapa jurnal. Metode Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif yang bersifat studi pustaka (library research) yang menggunakan buku-buku dan literatur-literatur lainnya sebagai objek yang utama. Evaluasi sediaan krim adalah parameter yang telah ditetapkan untuk mengetahui kestabilan sediaan krim diantaranya uji organoleptik, uji homogenitas, uji pH, uji tipe krim, uji viskositas, dan uji Daya sebar. Hasil review uji organoleptik, pH, viksositas dan daya sebar memiliki hasil sebagian memenuhi standar uji, dan sebagian tidak memenuhi standar uji yang telah ditetapkan. Hal ini dikarenakan faktor suhu, konsentrasi ekstrak yang berlebih serta reaksi kimia pada saat penyimpanan dipercepat. Sedangkan pada hasil uji homogenitas secara keseluruhan jurnal yang diuji memiliki homogenitas yang cukup baik, serta uji tipe krim yaitu memiliki tipe krim A/M dan M/AKata Kunci:Evaluasi sediaan krimUji organoleptikUji pHUji homogenitasUji tipe krim

Factors influencing digital review of pathology test results in an inpatient setting: a cross-sectional study

Background Delay or failure to view test results in a hospital setting can lead to delayed diagnosis, risk of patient harm, and represents inefficiency. Factors influencing this were investigated to identify how timeliness and completeness of test review could be improved through an evidence-based redesign of the use of clinical test review software. Methods A cross-section of all abnormal hematology and biochemistry results which were published on a digital test review platform over a 3-year period were investigated. The time it took for clinicians to view these results, and the results that were not viewed within 30 days, were analyzed relative to time of the week, the detailed type of test, and an indicator of patient record data quality. Results The majority of results were viewed within 90 min, and 93.9% of these results viewed on the digital platform within 30 days. There was significant variation in results review throughout the week, shown to be due to an interplay between technical and clinical workflow factors. Routine results were less likely to be reviewed, as were those with patient record data quality issues. Conclusion The evidence suggests that test result review would be improved by stream-lining access to the result platform, differentiating between urgent and routine results, improving handover of responsibility for result review, and improving search for temporary patient records. Altering the timing of phlebotomy rounds and a review of the appropriateness of routine test requests at the weekend may also improve result review rates.
