“…Telehealth encompasses any healthcare that is delivered over a distance using technology (Craig, 1999) and includes telerehabilitation which is specific to the online delivery of rehabilitation services (Rosen, 1999). Whilst researchers speculated at first that individuals, particularly the elderly, may not be supportive of, or willing to participate in receiving health care services via telehealth Understanding patients' perceptions is an important component of telehealth service research, as the level of satisfaction of users of telehealth may directly impact on their willingness to adopt this practice (Craig, 1999). Most patient satisfaction studies involve interviews or questionnaires conducted with patients after they have experienced a telehealth consultation.…”

To gain insight into factors which may influence future acceptance of dysphagia management via telerehabilitation, patients' perceptions were examined before and after a telerehabilitation assessment session. Forty adult patients with dysphagia (M = 66y, SD = 16.25) completed pre-and post-session questionnaires which consisted of 14 matched questions worded to suit pre-and post-conditions.Questions explored comfort with the use of telerehabilitation, satisfaction with audio and video quality, benefits of telerehabilitation assessments and patients' preferred assessment modality. Questions were rated on a 5-point scale (1=strongly disagree, 3=unsure, 5=strongly agree). Patients' comfort with assessment via telerehabilitation was high in over 80% of the group both pre-and post-assessment. Pre-assessment, patients were unsure what to expect with the auditory and visual aspects of the videoconference, however there were significant positive changes reported postexperience. In relation to perceived benefits of telerehabilitation services in general, most patients believed in the value of telerehabilitation and post-assessment this increased to 90-100% agreement. Although 92% felt they would be comfortable receiving services via telerehabilitation, 45% of patients indicated ultimate preference for a traditional face-to-face assessment. The data highlight that patients are interested in and willing to receive services via telerehabilitation, however, any concerns should be addressed pre-assessment.

“…The description of their bodies' positions and orientations can be transformed from one coordinate system to another. This allows for any of these systems to serve as the reference frame for the bodies' kinematics [10]; however, it is important to select a universal system to serve as a common reference [11]. This makes the transformations from body to body as convenient as possible.…”

“…It ignores the forces that actually cause motion and focuses on the study of position and its higher-order derivatives with respect to time [10]. It allows the geometrical properties of a rigid body to be described as the body moves [10]. In order to fully develop a tracking algorithm, the kinematics of a rifleman must be modeled.…”

A force that can decide and act quicker than the enemy has an advantage. The goal of this thesis is to provide dismounted infantry units with this advantage by developing a sensor network that streamlines the geometry-of-fire validation cycle for direct-fire weapon systems. This is the first attempt to develop technology for this specific application. Prototyping the system's overall design became this thesis' main objective. A kinematic model of a rifleman was created to describe the motion of a manipulated weapon system, and a geometry-of-fire tracking algorithm was created to compute the offsets between friendly nodes in a network. The kinematic model and tracking algorithm were both verified using YEI 3-Space Data-Logging sensors and the VICON motion system. The sensor, model, and algorithm were integrated into a tactical network that was designed by concurrent research at the Naval Postgraduate School. Assuming an inertial personal navigation system can be created, we found that this basic prototype provided a viable foundation for further development. The results of this thesis demonstrate the potential for this technology to be fully developed and implemented to enhance dismounted infantry units.

Career Development and the Skills Shortage: A Lesson from Charles Dickens

This paper presents a critical argument to the profession of career development for the purpose of stimulating reflexive consideration on the myriad influences that impinge upon practitioners. The paper suggests that given the current skills agenda in the Australian economy, it may be timely to reflexively consider career development practice. The paper uses Charles Dickens' novel Hard Times and the character Mr Thomas Gradgrind, who was a dedicated educator in a small industrial town set in the Victorian era, to exemplify how the influence of prevailing social philosophies and economic conditions imbue the practice of professionals. It is suggested that there are potential parallels between the practices of Mr Gradgrind and contemporary career development practitioners. Career development practitioners are asked to consider their position in and amongst high-level political, economic and educational influences and to reflect upon if and how these influences manifest in their practices.
