Development of standard indicators to assess use of electronic health record systems implemented in low-and medium-income countries.

BackgroundElectronic Health Record Systems (EHRs) are being rolled out nationally in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) yet assessing actual system usage remains a challenge.We employed a nominal group technique shrimps is bugs shirt (NGT) process to systematically develop high-quality indicators for evaluating actual usage of EHRs in LM

Mobile Phones as Sources of Electromagnetic Interference

The paper deals with a problem of interference as a result of the mobile phone coupling into the cabling of a complexsystem.The phenomenon has been simplified to a problem of near field coupling between a radiating antenna and a wire placed near a metal plate in quadruple ointment an open area.Numerical simulations based on Methods of Moments have
