A Survey Research
Good morning today I’d like to discuss the results of our patient survey. We have reviewed the data collected in order to measure the strengths and weaknesses of our hospital and to determine potential future plans for improvement. the first question on the survey attempted to determine the main reason that patients choose to come to our hospital for treatment, rather than others in the vicinity. the data showed that even though our hospital is not as centrally located as others. we offer a very good Q31 transportation service that enables patients to travel here by bus or train free of charge. despite there being other hospitals that are larger with more facilities than ours we still have higher patient numbers.
The second question on the survey asked what quality patients hoped for most when visiting the hospital. There were five choice options including short waiting times and friendly service from nurses. However the data collected showed that most patients hoped that the hospital is Q32 clean when they visited. it seemed that patients were not concerned with the clarity of signs and notices in the hospital as this option got the smallest number of votes. They were however very keen to be given prior Q33 information by the staff about hospital treatments. Using the data collected from our survey we have developed a list of actions that will be adopted within the next year. A main focus of these improvements is our website which is currently very outdated. We will not only update our in-hospital service for the use of the medical staff, but also our main service so that local Q34 residents can also benefit from it. We hope that this new service will attract a large number of new patients. It is clear from the feedback that many members of staff are unhelpful towards patients and inefficient when carrying out their tasks.
We feel that some incentive is needed to boost motivation to perform better and so we are implementing a system whereby staff will be awarded an extra Q35 bonus for their success. The member of staff who has received the most bonuses at the end of the year will be announced as staff member of the year. we will continue to monitor progress on this issue through patient feedback forms so that the opinions of our Q36 visitors will constantly be taken into consideration. another issue that the survey has brought to light is the long delays experienced by visitors awaiting treatment, with some visitors reporting waiting times of up to five hours. This is unacceptable we need to improve the effectiveness of Q37 communication between patients, doctors and staff. So we have decided to implement a ticketing system, this means that patients are seen on a first come first served basis and will never have to wait more than two hours to be seen by a doctor. The final topic that i want to cover in the lecture is the recommendations that we have put forward for future improvements to the hospital.
Firstly we intend to be the first hospital in the country to build a new unit for those suffering from Q38 sleep disturbance, which is a relatively common illness affecting up to six percent of the population whilst we are a hospital primarily treating patients with illnesses and injuries. We cannot ignore the significant income that those in need of Q39 plastic surgery could bring to the hospital. We will therefore also be proposing a new ward to give patients access to this increasingly popular treatment. After much discussion about the quality and suitability of our equipment we have decided that it is advanced enough to cope with the treatments that we offer and that our spending should be directed to other areas where it will have a more significant impact. We feel that more effective Q40 planning is needed to improve the efficiency of the forms of communication that patients have with us. Therefore, patients who have received treatment will receive an email link to a survey that they can fill out online. This will eradicate meaningless paperwork and will also enable us to digitally monitor the data collected.
Now if anyone has any questions?
Soundscapes
00:00
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40. Today I'd like to explore the concept of soundscapes, a term that refers to the acoustic environment we live in essentially. The sounds that surround us in any given setting, whether natural or human made. The term soundscape was first introduced by Murray Schaefer, a well-known composer from Canada, who devoted much of his career
00:29
to understanding how sound shapes our experience of the world. He argued that what we hear is not just random noise, but something that carries meaning, often reflecting the character or even the health of the environment we're in. Schaeffer and those who followed his work divided the soundscape into three primary components. The first is biophony, which includes all the sounds produced by living creatures. For instance,
00:58
bird song, insects buzzing, and the croaking of frogs all fall under this category. The second category is Giuffani. This refers to natural sounds that arise from non-living elements of the environment. Examples here include the rustling of leaves, wind blowing through trees, or the steady patter of rain. These are physical phenomena that still form an important part of what we hear in nature. Finally, we have Anthrophony,
01:28
This encompasses all human-generated sounds, whether intentional like musical or unintentional, such as engine noise, construction activity, or even general urban clatter. One of the key researchers in the modern study of soundscapes is Bernie Krauss. Krauss has spent decades recording natural soundscapes and has reached some fascinating conclusions. According to him, every sound in the natural world carries its own distinctive
01:57
signature a kind of auditory fingerprint. More than that, he's found that, when undisturbed, the sounds of nature demonstrate a delicate balance. They are generally in harmony with each other, especially in terms of loudness and frequency, which prevents them from clashing or overwhelming one another. Interestingly, shifts in a natural soundscape can tell us a great deal. In fact, changes in what we hear
02:25
may be an early sign of larger environmental problems. For example, a sudden decrease in certain animal calls may point to alterations in the climate of that region. Similarly, irregular patterns in sound can also be a signal of pollution, not just noise pollution, but chemical contamination as well, such as the use of pesticides or insecticides, which can cause entire species to fall silent.
02:54
to capture and analyze these complex sound environments. Researchers today often use sophisticated tools like acoustic recorders. These devices collect audio data over extended periods, which can then be visualized into three-dimensional maps. Such maps help scientists to study sound patterns across space and time.
Fish Farming
00:00
Section 4 You will hear part of a lecture about aquaculture and the fishing business. First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40.
00:52
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
01:00
So, what I'm going to talk about to you today is something called aquaculture. It has been responsible for the impressive growth in the supply of fish for human consumption. There's also been a slight improvement in the state of certain fish stocks due to improved fishery management. Aquatic food production has transitioned from being primarily based on the capturing of wild fish to the culture of increasing numbers of farmed species.
01:30
In recent years, a type of genetically modified salmon has been farmed in the New England region, produced by a Massachusetts-based biotech firm. This type of fish is engineered to grow twice as fast as its conventional farm-raised counterpart. As a result, this increases the speed of the local aquaculture industry development, and thus reduces the fishing pressure on wild stock.
01:58
But local residents have expressed their concerns on the potential negative effects on the ecosystem should those GM fish ever escape into the sea. Stronger, healthier and faster growing, these fish might cannibalise others or outcompete wild type fish for food. Local decision makers and regulators have thus pushed forward a number of measures making it impossible for most GM fish to mate. A small percentage
02:28
is able to breed only within confined pools. Despite the economic boom of genetically engineered fish, culturing traditional types of fish is still mainstream among fish farmers. Most of them prefer fish with special features, such as tuna. It is a source of high quality protein with almost no fat. It also contains all essential amino acids required by the body for growth,
02:56
and maintenance of lean muscle tissue. With high nutritional value, this kind of fish will always be popular in the fish market. For the fish farming industry, incidents of fish escaping the farms has been a troubling issue over the years. Due to bad weather, nets that used to hold the fish were often destroyed. Thousands of salmon, worth nearly 220,000 euros, escaped from a fish farm
03:25
in the Norwegian region in July, raising fear that they would breed with wild fish stocks. Cages were thus built to withstand storms. The frames of the cages are made of PE, which is dedicated to marine use. This material has trustable strength, resilience and tenacity. To further strengthen it, strong nets without knots are used to support the cylindrical frame.
03:57
A group of small villages on the island of Zanzibar off the coast of East Africa have been trying to develop a local aquaculture industry sustainably. They use a land-based production system that is both economically and ecologically sound. Land-based recirculation can control ocean temperature and optimize growth for the fish that are used to warm water. All organic waste from the fish.
04:26
is held on land, with incoming water sterilized to avoid disease, which has historically plagued ocean-based farms. The lack of disease means that no drugs are administered to the fish. However, one problem facing the villagers is lack of suitable land on the coast for this system. Hotels and beaches open to tourists take up most of the coastal area.
04:53
Another problem facing local fishermen is the scarcity of young fish used to breed the species. This predicament stems from overfishing during the previous decades. The local commercial fishing industry has been reduced by 50 % for this reason and the aquaculture industry has yet to thrive. The government has taken a set of initiatives to safeguard native aquaculture and the fishing industry.
05:21
An open-air seafood market has been launched. Residents are encouraged to support local fish farming businesses by purchasing marine products. As it turns out, there is a public demand for access to locally produced, sustainable sources of fresh seafood. Moreover, local fish farmers are aided to market seaweed and oysters, both of which have additional economic values. Seaweed
05:49
is used in various ways in cosmetics. Seaweed extract is often found on the list of ingredients, constituting creams, soaps, shampoos, powders and sprays. It is said to be useful in various ways, including the relief of rheumatic pain and the removal of cellulite. Oyster is a source of seafood popular among the local hospitality industry. Served with caviar and champagne,
06:19
it is one of the world's ultimate luxury foods appealing to gourmets with its succulent and delicate flavor. It thus appears to have the greatest potential for commercial culture. Even though the national and international market has shown demand for marine products in Zanzibar, it is still challenging to survive in the competitive modern fishing industry. The government ought to restore the business by encouraging aquaculture.
06:47
recreation and shipping. First, it could utilize modern fish farming technology to supply more high quality marine products. Tourism is an effective stimulus to boost its sales and with better shipping capability, more products can be delivered abroad.
07:07
That is the end of section 4. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
07:44
That is the end of the listening test.
