Field Application of Global Positioning System01:28

Field Application of Global Positioning System

234
The Global Positioning System (GPS) has become an indispensable tool in fieldwork, offering unparalleled precision and efficiency for surveying, navigation, and infrastructure development. By harnessing signals from a constellation of satellites, GPS receivers determine the location of objects with remarkable speed and accuracy, often completing calculations within a second.Advantages of Modern GPS TechnologyContemporary GPS receivers are designed to meet the practical demands of field...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

299
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Types of Global Positioning System Surveys

240
GPS surveying methods vary in application, accuracy, and data collection techniques, catering to diverse surveying and mapping needs. Static GPS, kinematic GPS, and real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying are widely used. Each technique offers distinct advantages.Static GPS involves placing one receiver at a known reference point and another at the target point. It collects exact positional data by observing multiple satellite ranges over an extended period, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for...

Introduction to Surveying, Plane Surveying and Geodetic Surveys

820
Surveying is the art and science of mapping the earth's surface. It involves measuring distances, angles in horizontal or vertical directions, and levels to understand the shape and size of land features. Surveying techniques are essential for various tasks, such as identifying the levels of a land area with reference to a specific point, and mapping undulations and water bodies.There are two main types of surveying: plane surveys and geodetic surveys. Plane surveys assume the earth is flat,...

Introduction to Global Positioning System

318
The Global Positioning System (GPS) revolutionized positioning on Earth, providing precise location data through satellite ranging. The GPS system was developed in 1978 by the U.S. Department of Defense  for military use, and it became available for civilian applications in 1983, transforming fields including navigation, fleet management, and time synchronization for telecommunications systems.GPS consists of satellites in medium Earth orbit, about 20,200 kilometers above the surface,...

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.
In 1978, international leaders convened in Alma-Ata, Kazakhstan, for what would be a pivotal event in global health. The Alma-Ata Declaration was the first to call...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • General Practice
  • Healthcare System Improvement

Background:

  • General practice quality in Myanmar is inconsistent.
  • A formal revalidation system and consistent engagement with continuing professional development (CPD) are lacking.
  • GP motivation for self-improvement is sporadic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To train General Practitioners (GPs) in Myanmar on maintaining CPD portfolios.
  • To enhance GPs' reflective learning skills.
  • To explore the potential of a formalised CPD credit system.

Main Methods:

  • 61 GPs received training on CPD logbook completion and reflection.
  • Participants used logbooks during a 3-month 'GP CPD Refresher' course.
  • Individualized feedback and CPD certificates were provided post-training.

Main Results:

  • All GPs understood logbook importance and maintenance (67% retention).
  • GPs expressed increased likelihood of continuing portfolio use.
  • A credit reward system was perceived to positively influence future CPD engagement.

Conclusions:

  • Compulsory CPD is essential for clinician revalidation and improving Myanmar's healthcare system.
  • The pilot revealed current training gaps in GP CPD.
  • Implementing a CPD credit reward system shows potential for enhancing engagement.
