In Zambia, the Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) is a key tool for managing the supply chain of these commodities. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of LMIS in ensuring the availability of essential medicines and medical supplies in public hospitals in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia. Materials and Methods: From February to April 2022, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 public hospitals across the Copperbelt Province. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, checklists, and stock control cards. The study assessed LMIS availability, training, and knowledge among pharmacy personnel, as well as data accuracy, product availability, and order fill rates. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Results: All surveyed hospitals had LMIS implemented and were using eLMIS as the primary LMIS. Only 47% and 48% of pharmacy personnel received training in eLMIS and Essential Medicines Logistics Improvement Program (EMLIP), respectively. Most personnel demonstrated good knowledge of LMIS, with 77.7% able to log in to eLMIS Facility Edition, 76.6% able to locate stock control cards in the system, and 78.7% able to perform transactions. However, data accuracy from physical and electronic records varied from 0% to 60%, and product availability ranged from 50% to 80%. Order fill rates from Zambia Medicines and Medical Supplies Agency (ZAMMSA) were consistently below 30%. Discrepancies were observed between physical stock counts and eLMIS records. Conclusion: This study found that most hospitals in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia have implemented LMIS use. While LMIS implementation is high in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia, challenges such as low training levels, data inaccuracies, low product availability, and order fill rates persist. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach, including capacity building, data quality improvement, supply chain coordination, and investment in infrastructure and human resources. Strengthening LMIS effectiveness is crucial for improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes in Zambia.展开更多

文摘The uplink massive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)status update system is very concerned about information freshness performance,especially for some central control Internet of Things(IoT)applications.In this context,age of information(AoI),as the metric of information freshness,gets more and more recognition,and simultaneously,the status packet blocklength plays an important role in improving the information freshness.In this work,we firstly consider a case with perfect channel state information(CSI)at the base station(BS),and derive the closed-form expression of the average AoI by using the Shannon theory.Guided by this,we obtain the tradeoff relationship among the status packet blocklength,transmission time and transmission failure probability.Accordingly,we optimize the status packet blocklength to minimize the average AoI.Then,we consider a more practical case with finite blocklength and imperfect CSI at the BS.In this case,we exploit pilot sequence to assist channel estimation,and derive an approximated closed-form expression of the average AoI according to short packet communication theory.It is found that increasing pilot block-length can improve the accuracy of channel estimation but reduce the frequency of status updates.Hence,we jointly optimize the pilot blocklength and status packet blocklength to improve the AoI performance.Extensive simulation results validate that the proposed methods can achieve almost the same performance as the exhaustive search methods.

文摘In multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV)systems,achieving efficient navigation is essential for executing complex tasks and enhancing autonomy.Traditional navigation methods depend on predefined control strategies and trajectory planning and often perform poorly in complex environments.To improve the UAV-environment interaction efficiency,this study proposes a multi-UAV integrated navigation algorithm based on Deep Reinforcement Learning(DRL).This algorithm integrates the Inertial Navigation System(INS),Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS),and Visual Navigation System(VNS)for comprehensive information fusion.Specifically,an improved multi-UAV integrated navigation algorithm called Information Fusion with MultiAgent Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(IF-MADDPG)was developed.This algorithm enables UAVs to learn collaboratively and optimize their flight trajectories in real time.Through simulations and experiments,test scenarios in GNSS-denied environments were constructed to evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithm.The experimental results demonstrate that the IF-MADDPG algorithm significantly enhances the collaborative navigation capabilities of multiple UAVs in formation maintenance and GNSS-denied environments.Additionally,it has advantages in terms of mission completion time.This study provides a novel approach for efficient collaboration in multi-UAV systems,which significantly improves the robustness and adaptability of navigation systems.

文摘The existing Low-Earth-Orbit(LEO)positioning performance cannot meet the requirements of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV)clusters for high-precision real-time positioning in the Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS)denial conditions.Therefore,this paper proposes a UAV Clusters Information Geometry Fusion Positioning(UC-IGFP)method using pseudoranges from the LEO satellites.A novel graph model for linking and computing between the UAV clusters and LEO satellites was established.By utilizing probability to describe the positional states of UAVs and sensor errors,the distributed multivariate Probability Fusion Cooperative Positioning(PF-CP)algorithm is proposed to achieve high-precision cooperative positioning and integration of the cluster.Criteria to select the centroid of the cluster were set.A new Kalman filter algorithm that is suitable for UAV clusters was designed based on the global benchmark and Riemann information geometry theory,which overcomes the discontinuity problem caused by the change of cluster centroids.Finally,the UC-IGFP method achieves the LEO continuous highprecision positioning of UAV clusters.The proposed method effectively addresses the positioning challenges caused by the strong direction of signal beams from LEO satellites and the insufficient constraint quantity of information sources at the edge nodes of the cluster.It significantly improves the accuracy and reliability of LEO-UAV cluster positioning.The results of comprehensive simulation experiments show that the proposed method has a 30.5%improvement in performance over the mainstream positioning methods,with a positioning error of 14.267 m.

文摘Enterprise Resource Planning(ERP)systems play a pivotal role in modern organizations by integrating business processes,enhancing operational efficiency,and supporting decision-making.Evaluating the success of ERP implementations remains a critical challenge for both researchers and practitioners.The DeLone&McLean(D&M)Information Systems(IS)Success Model has been widely adopted as a theoretical framework to assess ERP success,yet its application in dynamic and evolving technological landscapes requires further examination.This systematic review synthesizes empirical studies from 2017 to 2024 that apply the D&M Model to evaluate ERP system success.The study aims to:(1)identify key trends in the application of the D&M Model across different organizational and technological contexts,(2)analyze the most influential success factors-system quality,information quality,service quality,user satisfaction,use,and net benefits-and their interrelationships,and(3)highlight emerging challenges and opportunities for refining the model in ERP research.Findings reveal that while the D&M Model provides a robust foundation for assessing ERP success,contextual factors such as organizational climate,leadership support,and mandatory vs.voluntary usage significantly influence outcomes.Additionally,advancements in digital transformation,AI,and cloud-based ERP systems introduce new dimensions that the traditional model may not fully capture.The review also identifies gaps in longitudinal studies and cross-cultural validations of the D&M Model in ERP settings.Based on the analysis,this paper proposes an enhanced framework that integrates dynamic moderators and post-implementation metrics to better align the D&M Model with contemporary ERP environments.The study contributes to IS literature by offering a comprehensive evaluation of the D&M Model’s applicability and limitations in ERP research,while providing actionable insights for organizations seeking to optimize ERP success.

文摘Flip-flow screens offer unique advantages in grading fine-grained materials.To address inaccuracies caused by sensor vibra-tions in traditional contact measurement methods,we constructed a non-invasive measurement system based on electrical and optical sig-nals.A trajectory tracking algorithm for the screen-body was developed to visually measure the kinematics.Employing the principle oflaser reflection for distance measurement,optical techniques were performed to capture the kinematic information of the screen-plate.Ad-ditionally,by using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transmission of electrical signals,tracer particle tracking technology was implemented to elec-trically measure the kinematic information of mineral particles.Consequently,intelligent fusion and perception of the kinematic informa-tion for the screen-body,screen-plate,and particles in the screening system have been achieved.

文摘Recent advancements in large language models(LLMs)have driven remarkable progress in text process-ing,opening new avenues for medical knowledge discovery.In this study,we present ERQA,a mEdical knowledge Retrieval and Question-Answering framework powered by an enhanced LLM that integrates a semantic vector database and a curated literature repository.The ERQA framework leverages domain-specific incremental pretraining and conducts supervised fine-tuning on medical literature,enabling retrieval and question-answering(QA)tasks to be completed with high precision.Performance evaluations implemented on the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)and TripClick data-sets demonstrate the robust capabilities of ERQA across multiple tasks.On the COVID-19 dataset,ERQA-13B achieves state-of-the-art retrieval metrics,with normalized discounted cumulative gain at top 10(NDCG@10)0.297,recall values at top 10(Recall@10)0.347,and mean reciprocal rank(MRR)=0.370;it also attains strong abstract summarization performance,with a recall-oriented understudy for gisting evaluation(ROUGE)-1 score of 0.434,and QA performance,with a bilingual evaluation understudy(BLEU)-1 score of 7.851.The comparable performance achieved on the TripClick dataset further under-scores the adaptability of ERQA across diverse medical topics.These findings suggest that ERQA repre-sents a significant step toward efficient biomedical knowledge retrieval and QA.

文摘Quantum information masking(QIM)is a crucial technique for protecting quantum data from being accessed by local subsystems.In this paper,we introduce a novel method for achieving1-uniform QIM in multipartite systems utilizing a Fourier matrix.We further extend this approach to construct an orthogonal array with the aid of a Hadamard matrix,which is a specific type of Fourier matrix.This allows us to explore the relationship between 2-uniform QIM and orthogonal arrays.Through this framework,we derive two distinct 2-uniform quantum states,enabling the 2-uniform masking of original information within multipartite systems.Furthermore,we prove that the maximum number of quantum bits required for achieving a2-uniformly masked state is 2^(n)-1,and the minimum is 2^(n-1)+3.Moreover,our scheme effectively demonstrates the rich quantum correlations between multipartite systems and has potential application value in quantum secret sharing.
文摘The evolution of enabling technologies in wireless communications has paved the way for supporting novel applications with more demanding QoS requirements,but at the cost of increasing the complexity of optimizing the digital communication chain.In particular,Millimeter Wave(mmWave)communications provide an abundance of bandwidth,and energy harvesting supplies the network with a continual source of energy to facilitate self-sustainability;however,harnessing these technologies is challenging due to the stochastic dynamics of the mmWave channel as well as the random sporadic nature of the harvested energy.In this paper,we aim at the dynamic optimization of update transmissions in mmWave energy harvesting systems in terms of Age of Information(AoI).AoI has recently been introduced to quantify information freshness and is a more stringent QoS metric compared to conventional delay and throughput.However,most prior art has only addressed averagebased AoI metrics,which can be insufficient to capture the occurrence of rare but high-impact freshness violation events in time-critical scenarios.We formulate a control problem that aims to minimize the long-term entropic risk measure of AoI samples by configuring the“sense&transmit”of updates.Due to the high complexity of the exponential cost function,we reformulate the problem with an approximated mean-variance risk measure as the new objective.Under unknown system statistics,we propose a two-timescale model-free risk-sensitive reinforcement learning algorithm to compute a control policy that adapts to the trio of channel,energy,and AoI states.We evaluate the efficiency of the proposed scheme through extensive simulations.
文摘Background: The availability of essential medicines and medical supplies is crucial for effectively delivering healthcare services. In Zambia, the Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) is a key tool for managing the supply chain of these commodities. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of LMIS in ensuring the availability of essential medicines and medical supplies in public hospitals in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia. Materials and Methods: From February to April 2022, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 public hospitals across the Copperbelt Province. Data were collected using structured questionnaires, checklists, and stock control cards. The study assessed LMIS availability, training, and knowledge among pharmacy personnel, as well as data accuracy, product availability, and order fill rates. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. Results: All surveyed hospitals had LMIS implemented and were using eLMIS as the primary LMIS. Only 47% and 48% of pharmacy personnel received training in eLMIS and Essential Medicines Logistics Improvement Program (EMLIP), respectively. Most personnel demonstrated good knowledge of LMIS, with 77.7% able to log in to eLMIS Facility Edition, 76.6% able to locate stock control cards in the system, and 78.7% able to perform transactions. However, data accuracy from physical and electronic records varied from 0% to 60%, and product availability ranged from 50% to 80%. Order fill rates from Zambia Medicines and Medical Supplies Agency (ZAMMSA) were consistently below 30%. Discrepancies were observed between physical stock counts and eLMIS records. Conclusion: This study found that most hospitals in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia have implemented LMIS use. While LMIS implementation is high in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia, challenges such as low training levels, data inaccuracies, low product availability, and order fill rates persist. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach, including capacity building, data quality improvement, supply chain coordination, and investment in infrastructure and human resources. Strengthening LMIS effectiveness is crucial for improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes in Zambia.
