Intimidation and disruptive behaviors in the health care setting

Intimidation and disruptive behavior can undermine patient care and cause staff dissatisfaction and turnover of professionals in the health care setting. These behaviors have been linked to patient safety issues, nurse satisfaction, nurse retention, as well as ineffective communication and collaboration (Fontaine & Gerardi, 2005; Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP), 2004; Martin, 2008; Rosenstein & O‟Daniel, 2005). The Joint Commission has made recommendations to reduce the incidence of disruptive behaviors. Hospitals are being asked to take responsibility, hold physicians accountable for their actions, and address workplace intimidation (ISMP, 2004; Rosenstein & O‟Daniel, 2005; The Joint Commission, July 2008). The purpose of this investigation was to examine the perception of intimidation and disruptive behaviors in the health care setting. Differences, if any, between perceptions and the frequency and effects of intimidation and disruptive behaviors was investigated. Data collected from identified variables can assist hospital administrators to understand the perceptions of intimidation and disruptive behaviors in their organizations and identify contributing factors that negatively affect those working in the health care setting. This investigation utilized a convenience sample of nurses and administrators working in two hospital settings in a Midwest rural state. A pilot study with a sample size of 7 and a larger convenience study with a sample size of 104 were used. This addressed the power analysis recommendation for at least 98 in the sample. This sample size will reduce the likelihood of a Type II error. The first research questions investigated was, “What is the difference, if any, of perception of intimidation and disruptive behavior frequency among nurses with varying levels of work experience? ” The second research question was, “What is the difference, if any, of perception of the effects of intimidation and disruptive behavior frequency among nurses with varying levels of work experience? ” It is hoped the results of the study will provide health care providers and administrators a better understanding of how intimidation and disruptive behaviors affect nurses, physicians, administrators, and hospitals. This will make it possible to find ways to improve collaboration and communication, patient outcomes, and relationships between health care providers in hopes that these improvements become integrated as expected professional health care practice.
Series No . 2018-05 On the relevance of double tax treaties

This paper investigates the effects of double tax treaties (DTTs) on foreign direct investment (FDI) after controlling for their relevance in the presence of treaty shopping. DTTs cannot be considered a bilateral issue, but must be viewed as a network, since FDI can flow from home to host country through one or more conduit countries. By accounting for treaty shopping, we calculate the shortest (i.e. the cheapest) tax distance between any two countries allowing the corporate income to be channelled through intermediate jurisdictions. We differentiate between relevant and neutral DTTs i.e. tax treaties that offer investors a financial advantage and irrelevant DTTs and use these data to derive two important results. First, only relevant and neutral tax treaties increase bilateral FDI, whereas irrelevant DTTs do not. We can quantify the increase of FDI due to a relvant DTT at around 22%. Second, significant tax reductions due to treaty benefits will lead to an increase in FDI.

Quantitative 3 D petrography using X-ray tomography 4 : Assessing glass inclusion textures with propagation phase-contrast tomography

Textures (sizes, shapes, distributions) of glass inclusions in crystals can provide important insight into magmatic processes. Threedimensional X-ray tomography is an excellent nondestructive method for assessing igneous rock textures in general; however, standard absorption-contrast tomography is not useful for imaging glass inclusions because it typically does not provide enough contrast between the inclusion and crystal host to allow quantitative separation of these phases during image processing. Propagation phase-contrast tomography enhances contacts between different phases, allowing the use of edgedetection algorithms to separate glass inclusions from their host crystal. The sample-todetector distance is increased to achieve edge enhancement at the cost of some loss in image resolution. We qualitatively assessed images acquired at a series of distances (30, 100, 150, 200 mm) to determine the best distance for imaging given this trade-off. Typical image processing approaches used for absorption-contrast tomography are not useful for edge-detection problems, so we developed an IDL-based graphical user interface (GUI) to process propagation phasecontrast tomograms. A combination of grayscale fi lters, distance thresholding, erosion processes , and individual picking of outlier voxels is used to fi t a convex hull to an individual inclusion, and the output provides information on its size and shape. The processed inclusions can be placed in the context of the original host, such that size, shape, and location of multiple inclusions can be assessed individually or in combination. We apply this method to fi ve glass inclusions in quartz crystals from early erupted Bishop Tuff. Results indicate that inclusions range in shape from nearly spherical to nearly ellipsoidal and from round to faceted. The relationship between degree of faceting, size, and location within the host is consistent with melt inclusion faceting under magmatic conditions over centennial to millennial time scales. We also show application of this method to other kinds of studies, such as glass inclusion size distributions.
Relationships between benthic diatom assemblages’ structure and selected environmental parameters in Slovak water reservoirs (Slovakia, Europe)

The main objective of the present study is to describe the structure of benthic diatom communities in 23 water reservoirs in Slovakia classified as heavily modified water bodies. Environmental variables together with biological data obtained during the routine biomonitoring of water reservoirs in Slovakia were explored and analysed to understand variability of benthic diatom communities and their relationships with environmental variables in order to obtain an integrated knowledge about their relevance as bioindicators for the Water Framework Directive-compliant ecological potential assessment. This study summarizes results from a four-year monitoring programme of water reservoirs surveyed during the period of 2011–2014. The performed survey and statistical analyses revealed the following: (i) two main groups of reservoirs could be distinguished based on the purpose of their main use (multipurpose or drinking water-supply use); (ii) multipurpose and drinking water-supply reservoirs differed in benthic diatom community structure, diatom water quality indices as well as in the principal environmental gradients structuring the diatom communities; (iii) 5 distinct sub-groups of reservoirs could be identified differing in terms of diatom species composition and several environmental parameters; (iv) the most significant environmental variables in explaining differences in diatom species composition in multipurpose reservoirs were mean depth and mean annual flow; in drinking water-supply reservoirs conductivity and water transparency.
Wide-Field Imaging of Superconductor Vortices with Electron Spins in Diamond

Understanding the mechanisms behind high-$T_{c}$ Type-II superconductors (SC) is still an open task in condensed matter physics. One way to gain further insight into the microscopic mechanisms leading to superconductivity is to study the magnetic properties of the SC in detail, for example by studying the properties of vortices and their dynamics. In this work we describe a new method of wide-field imaging magnetometry using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond to image vortices in an yttrium barium copper oxide (YBCO) thin film. We demonstrate quantitative determination of the magnetic field strength of the vortex stray field, the observation of vortex patterns for different cooling fields and direct observation of vortex pinning in our disordered YBCO film. This method opens prospects for imaging of the magnetic-stray fields of vortices at frequencies from DC to several megahertz within a wide range of temperatures which allows for the study of both high-$T_{C}$ and low-$T_{C}$ SCs. The wide temperature range allowed by NV center magnetometry also makes our approach applicable for the study of phenomena like island superconductivity at elevated temperatures (e.g. in metal nano-clusters).
Resource partitioning in a grazer guild feeding on a multilayer diatom mat

Abstract The gut contents of a guild of invertebrate grazers inhabiting the moss Fontinalis and feeding on epiphytic diatoms in a small Québec stream were analyzed to characterize resource partitioning and food selection. A multivariate approach (RLQ analysis coupled with a revised version of 4th-corner analysis) identified distinct diet patterns among co-occurring grazers. These patterns were mainly explained by differential ingestion of diatoms that differed in their spatial positions within the multilayered periphyton mat. When the size range of available diatoms was large, diet differences were partly explained by diatom size. Comparison of diatoms in grazer guts with diatoms available in the environment indicated selective feeding in different levels of the periphyton mat by grazers. Some grazers (scrapers) fed preferentially on tightly attached diatoms, whereas others (surfers) favored overstory diatoms. Spatial segregation of feeding within the periphyton mat by members of the grazer guild was more evident in a period of potential resource limitation (July) than when food was abundant (May). Our results suggest that all layers/growth forms in the diatom mat are used, resulting in spatial partitioning of the resource when considering the entire grazer community. Therefore, foraging theories already established for other ecosystems are confirmed in the unique context of stream benthos.
Effects of Different Treatments on the Quality and Safety of Crayfish (Astacus leptodactylus)

This study was aimed to determine the effect of different killing methods (frozen, mechanical, and traditional) on the quality, safety, and shelf life of crayfish that are aerobically stored under chilled conditions. The population of microorganisms (i.e., total mesophilic aerobic bacteria (TMAB), total psychrophilic aerobic bacteria (TPAB), and Enterobacteriaceae) was increased regarding to storage time (). Significant differences () were not observed in pH values during storage time. In contrast to this, total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) values of the samples were increased significantly () during storage. Sensory results were highly correlated with the microbiological counts ( for TMAB odour; for TPAB odour; and for Enterobacteriaceae odour). Fifteen different fatty acids and 5 biogenic amines were detected for the determination of initial quality and safety of crayfish. In conclusion, frozen killed samples were found to be effective and laborsaving method as an alternative to traditional killing methods by maintaining the quality and safety of crayfish at the beginning and during storage under chilled conditions.
Deconstructing Childhood as a Way to Justice

Despite the multiplicity of constructions of childhood in various disciplines, the prevalent view is that children are incompetent in the sense of lacking reason, maturity, or independence. In this paper, I first examine how this dominant view is constructed in the fields of philosophy and psychology, highlighting the perspectives of Plato, Aristotle, John Locke, John Stuart Mill, and Jean Piaget. Then, following Jacques Derrida who conceives justice as a source of meaning for deconstruction, I deconstruct several of the dominant constructions and argue that they do not do children justice. To return justice to childhood, I suggest that childhood should be regarded as a self-contained state with distinctive features that are worthy of consideration in their own right rather than as an incomplete state of incompetence relative to adulthood that is considered a complete state of humans, while adulthood should be regarded as a never-ending process of becoming mature that includes rather than excludes childhood. Moreover, I suggest that both the absolute denial of adult rights to children and the naturalization of childhood in developmental psychology as a biologically determined and culturally universal stage of irrationality should be challenged.
Sentiment, Convergence of Opinion, and Market Crash

I introduce a novel proxy of investor sentiment and differences of opinion among trendchasing investors to forecast skewness in daily aggregate stock market returns. The new proxy is an easy-to-construct, real time measure available at different frequencies for more than a century. Empirically I find that negative skewness is most pronounced when investors have experienced high sentiment. The role of differences of opinion depends on the states of average investor sentiment: it positively forecasts market skewness in an optimistic state, but negatively forecasts it in a pessimistic state. Conceptually, I provide an explanation for the role of differences of opinion based on the theory of Abreu and Brunnermeier (2003). I argue that convergence of opinion in an optimistic state indicates that the price run-up is unlikely to be sustained since fewer investors can remain net buyers in the future. Therefore rational arbitrageurs coordinate their attack on the bubble, leading to a market crash. Vice versa, the convergence of opinion in a pessimistic state promotes coordinated purchases among rational arbitrageurs, leading to a strong recovery.
Pollen host selection by predominantly alpine bee species of the genera Andrena, Panurginus, Dufourea, Megachile, Hoplitis and Osmia (Hymenoptera, Apoidea)

The pollen host selection by 19 bee species, which have their main Central European distribution in the Alps, was assessed by microscopical analysis of the scopal contents of about 900 females from museum and private collections. The results of the pollen analyses were complemented by a literature survey as well as by field observations. The examined species widely vary in pollen host spectrum and specialization, revealing a fascinating diversity in bee host plant use. Observed patterns of host plant choice range from narrow specialists, which exclusively collect pollen from the flowers of a single plant genus, to pronounced generalists, which harvest pollen from the flowers of up to 17 different plant families. A quantitative character is given to separate the morphologically very similar females ofPanurginusherziandP.montanus.
ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF FACEROAD ROOF SUPPORT (ADFRS)

This paper summarises the results of a research project whose goal was to provide the Australian coal industry with a longwall installation roadway design methodology that could be utilised by suitably qualified colliery staff. This goal has been achieved and the design methodology (and software package) is referred to as Analysis and Design of Faceroad Roof Support (ADFRS). The intended benefits to underground operations, in the provision of this information and resource, are a safer and more productive workplace. ADFRS now fills the gaping void that existed in the Australian underground coal industry with respect to the geotechnical design and management of longwall installation roadways. In addition to the standard two-pass widening, ADFRS deals with all other aspects of installation roadway design, including faceroad intersections, stables and adjacent maingate and tailgate intersections. ADFRS is based on a sound mechanistic understanding of the roadway development and widening process and the design equations (with strong to very strong correlations) are fully consistent with measured roof behaviour. To the best of the authors' kno wledge ADFRS is the first systematic faceroad design technique to be developed for any country's underground coal industry.
Disentangling Liquidity and Size Effects in Stock Returns: Evidence from China

Both size effect and liquidity effect in stock returns have been documented extensively in the literature. Since firm size and stock liquidity are closely correlated, it is generally difficult to disentangle these two effects. The Chinese stock market offers a unique opportunity to address this issue due to the widespread coexistence of tradable and nontradable shares in listed companies. We find that the size effect of nontradable shares on expected returns persists after controlling for several common liquidity measures as well as the size of tradable shares. However, it is substantially weaker than the size effect of tradable shares. Our results suggest that the negative relation between stock returns and firm size, as normally measured by the size of tradable shares, is a mixture of a genuine size effect and a liquidity effect. We also find that despite many special features of the market environment, Chinese stock returns exhibit cross-sectional patterns strikingly similar to those documented for developed markets.
Alumni and Employer Perceptions of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences Curricula: Survey Results

Periodic assessment of goals is critical to maintaining a vital academic program. The University of Arkansas’ Department of Crop, Soil, and Environmental Sciences designed two surveys and distributed them to alumni and employers during summer 2002 to obtain information concerning current workforce requirements of college graduates. General objectives of both surveys were to assess curricula, increase recruitment, and enhance student advisement. Fewer alumni are self-employed or employed by the government than 15 yr ago. However, alumni become employed relatively quickly and appear to be earning competitive salaries. The profitability of an advanced degree was supported by survey data. Employers provided comparative salary information and stressed the importance of developing a strong foundation in the basic sciences for environmental science and crop management majors. General and organic chemistry and communications were stressed as important courses for both majors, with alumni and employers expressing differences in the value of other courses. Alumni rated microbiology, ecology, botany/plant science, and geology higher than business or social science courses for environmental science students. For crop management, business and science courses were intermixed among highest alumni ratings. In contrast, employers placed greater emphasis than alumni on courses such as ethics and law and policy. Employers and alumni valued oral communications and problem solving skills, while employers placed greater value on writing, cost–benefit analysis, and data synthesis. Alumni placed greater value on group projects than employers. Survey results reaffirmed the need to include both alumni and employer input in program assessment to support curriculum and advising decisions.
Feeding preferences of West Indian manatees in Florida, Belize, and Puerto Rico as indicated by stable isotope analysis

The endangered West Indian manatee Trichechus manatus has 2 recognized sub- species: the Florida T. m. latirostris and Antillean T. m. manatus manatee, both of which are found in freshwater, estuarine, and marine habitats. A better understanding of manatee feeding preferences and habitat use is essential to establish criteria on which conservation plans can be based. Skin from manatees in Florida, Belize, and Puerto Rico, as well as aquatic vegetation from their presumed diet, were analyzed for stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios. This is the first application of stable iso- tope analysis to Antillean manatees. Stable isotope ratios for aquatic vegetation differed by plant type (freshwater, estuarine, and marine), collection location, and in one instance, season. Carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios for manatee skin differed between collection location and in one instance, sea- son, but did not differ between sex or age class. Signatures in the skin of manatees sampled in Belize and Puerto Rico indicated a diet composed primarily of seagrasses, whereas those of Florida mana- tees exhibited greater regional variation. Mixing model results indicated that manatees sampled from Crystal River and Homosassa Springs (Florida, USA) ate primarily freshwater vegetation, whereas manatees sampled from Big Bend Power Plant, Ten Thousand Islands, and Warm Mineral Springs (Florida) fed primarily on seagrasses. Possible diet-tissue discrimination values for 15 N were estimated to range from 1.0 to 1.5‰. Stable isotope analysis can be used to interpret manatee feed- ing behavior over a long period of time, specifically the use of freshwater vegetation versus sea- grasses, and can aid in identifying critical habitats and improving conservation efforts.
OPTIMIZED HARVEST AND LOGISTICS FOR BIOMASS SUPPLY CHAIN

This research is part of an ongoing project, BioREF (Biorefinery for sustainable Reliable Economical Fuel production from energy crops). BioREF is intended to develop, in a dynamic way, a bench-mark for future integrated and sustainable bioenergy production systems that will contribute to enhance Denmark’s position in the bioenergy production. The objectives of the work described in this paper are to optimize the harvest and logistics for the transport of oilseed crops and suitable agricultural residues to production facilities and return the process residues for agricultural use as part of the overall biomass feedstock infrastructure. In this regard, the supply chain must comprise optimized steps of harvesting the crop, collecting residues, storing and transporting.
Structure and phase transitions of single-wall carbon nanotube bundles under hydrostatic pressure

We have studied the structures of single-wall carbon nanotube bundles with and without hydrostatic pressure by using constant pressure molecular dynamics methods. The structure is found to be strongly dependent on the symmetry of the tubes, and only $(6n,\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}6n)$ tubes could be assembled into an ideal hexagonal lattice. With increasing pressure, all tube lattices undergo a structure transition, while the transition pressure varies with the symmetry and radius of the tube.
Do Trade and Financial Linkages Foster Business Cycle Synchronization in a Small Economy?

We estimate a system of equations to analyze whether bilateral trade and financial linkages influence business cycle synchronization directly and/or indirectly. Our paper builds upon the existing literature by using bilateral trade and financial flows for a small, open economy (Spain) as benchmark for the results, instead of the US as generally done in the literature. We find that both the similarity of productive structure and trade links promote the synchronization of cycles. However, bilateral financial links are inversely related to the co-movement of output. This might point to financial integration allowing an easier transfer of resources between two economies, which could enable their decoupling, as predicted by a standard model of international business cycles. Both the effects of trade and financial links on output synchronization are statistically significant and economically relevant.
