Special needs of adult critical care units

This article has highlighted some of the specific needs of adult critical care units and the role that both the nurse manager and materiel manager play in today's changing health care system and environment. The key to success in meeting the specific needs of critical care patients lies in open communication and collaboration between the materiel management department and the department of nursing. The challenges are many, yet cooperation and an understanding of one another's needs can do much to create successful relationships within critical care settings and ensure optimal patient safety.     

Dominanza stocastica con avversione al rischio

In ques to la voro si introduce la classeU delle funzioni reali definite in un reticolo che sono funzioni di utilità di una classe di decisorti detti avversi al rischio e si caratterizza la dominancza stocastica secondo la classeU.

Summary The aim of this paper is to generalize a result of [4] about stochastic dominance under the assumption of risk aversion. The generalization consists in considering the case of random variables defined on a lattice. We introduce a class of real valued utility functions on a lattice, we show their properties in terms of comparison of lotteries and risk aversiion. The main result of the paper is a characterization of stochastic dominance through this class of functions.
