The Sheffield and Hallamshire Football Association is a County Football Association in England. It was formed in Sheffield in 1867 as the Sheffield Football Association, and is the second-oldest football governing body after the Football Association (FA). Its teams adopted the Sheffield Rules of football until 1878, when they were merged with the FA's rules. Its members include the two oldest football clubs in the world, Sheffield and Hallam.Today, the County FA is responsible for the administration, control, promotion and development of grass-roots football within a 20-mile radius of Sheffield Cathedral. This covers almost all of South Yorkshire (excluding only the area around Askern, Hatfield and Thorne) as well as parts of North Derbyshire (e.g. Dronfield), North Nottinghamshire (e.g. Worksop), and southern parts of West Yorkshire (e.g. Emley, Hemsworth)..
This paper is a report of the Workshop on Simulations for Information Access (Sim4IA) workshop at SIGIR 2024. The workshop had two keynotes, a panel discussion, nine lightning talks, and two breakout sessions. Key takeaways were user simulation's importance in academia and industry, the possible bridging of online and offline evaluation, and the issues of organizing a companion shared task around user simulations for information access. We report on how we organized the workshop, provide a brief overview of what happened at the workshop, and summarize the main topics and findings of the workshop and future work. Date: 18 July 2024.

PURPOSE:The risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after surgery for lower limb trauma may be reduced with pharmacologic prophylaxis upon hospital admission and hospital discharge. To determine the rate and duration of prescription of VTE pharmacologic prophylaxis upon hospital discharge in patients who have surgery for a lower limb fracture. METHODS:Retrospective analysis of patients who had surgery for a lower limb fracture at 3 National Health Trust hospitals in the North-West of England. FINDINGS:Data from 127 patients were collected. All patients were prescribed pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis upon hospital admission, and 125 (98%) upon discharge, with 91.3% of patients discharged with low-molecular weight heparin. There was substantial variation in the duration of pharmacologic VTE prescription upon hospital discharge, with a median duration of 42 days (interquartile range, 28-42 days; range, 1-84 days). In our cohort, 7 (5.5%) of patients were prescribed VTE prophylaxis for less than 14 days, and 30(23.6%) prescribed for less than 35 days. IMPLICATIONS:This study reported that pharmacologic prophylaxis for VTE was prescribed for almost all patients upon hospital discharge. However, there was substantial variation in the duration of the prescribed prophylaxis upon hospital discharge, with almost a quarter of patients prescribed less than 35 days. National level prescription guidance for VTE prophylaxis upon hospital discharge may improve consistency within and between centers.
