Vocational training and sexual assault against women: challenges for graduation in nursing

Abstract Objectives: To understand the meanings of sexual assault against women in the point of view of students, professors and university managers of undergraduate nursing; and to understand how the contents on this subject are approached in undergraduate courses in Nursing in Higher Education Institutions. Method: A qualitative study, with data collection from March to November 2018, through interviews with ten students, ten teachers and seven managers from two private institutions. Data was treated by the modality of thematic content, with a theoretical-analytical reference of 'gender violence' and 'rape culture'. Results: The topic is approached in a fragmented way in different academic contexts, which leads to the reflection of the topic in the training of nurses, extending to their professional performance. Conclusion and implications for practice: The possibilities of incorporating the subject in the teaching-learning scenarios and practices converge to approach the content about the different types of violence in the undergraduate subjects, with educational actions with the population, potentializing the deconstruction of the culture of female subordination. In addition, the study is aligned with the appropriate time in which the reorientation of the curricular guidelines for the health courses is discussed.
Revolting families: The Catalan ‘opt out’ movement and practices of resistance against Standard Assessment Test (SAT). Some exploratory research

Neoliberal policy technologies are spreading across the globe. Most go unrecognised and unopposed, but in some cases, they have provoked reactions and movements that reject or resist them. In this article we focus on one such movement of resistance, consisting of a network of families (the ‘opt out’ movement) that is boycotting the Standard Assessment Tests of primary education in Catalonia. We draw on exploratory research based on in-depth interviews with six of these families, as well as a review of articles, websites and documents produced by or about the movement. The participation of these families is examined in the light of Foucault’s notion of resistance in two different respects: resistance as a ‘tactical reversal’ and refusal as an ‘aesthetics of existence’. We begin with an outline of the global ideological context in which the Standard Assessment Tests are set, and then examine the background to the opt out movement’s resistance to the Standard Assessment Tests in Catalonia. This is followed by a Foucauldian analysis of this resistance, and then a description of the methodology used and the families interviewed. We make no significant empirical claims in the paper but rather seek to theorise certain paradoxes and tensions in relation to opting out and end with some remarks on the significance of the movement.
Fluidity, Phenotype and Afro-Latin Group Consciousness

Abstract Racial fluidity and mixed phenotype have been posited as critical barriers to politicized black identity in the region. Using an original, survey experiment in Panama, this paper finds that racial fluidity and phenotype significantly affect who identifies as black, but have relatively little impact on the strength of measures of black group consciousness. Rather than reducing the strength of group consciousness all together, racial fluidity and phenotype influence the salience of different measures of group consciousness. Afro-Panamanians with phenotypic features that stably predict black self-identification express stronger beliefs that racial discrimination is a problem in Panama (perceived discrimination) and greater dissatisfaction with the social standing of their in-group (polar power). In contrast, Afro-Panamanians with mixed phenotypic features express stronger in-group affect (pride), stronger belief in the efficacy of black collective mobilization (collective efficacy), and stronger linked fate.
The protests of migrants in Sicily: Why are there few and only single-issue?

ABSTRACT Sicily is one of the most important “gates of Europe” for migrants from Africa and the Middle East. The recent chronicles are full of migrants’ journeys, often ending in real tragedies, across the Mediterranean sea to reach the coast of Sicily, first Lampedusa. Sicily has become the arrival place of migrants fleeing from wars, hunger and misery, a hub of passage for those who want to continue to Northern Italy and Europe (especially France, Germany, Scandinavian countries), but also a place where migrants stay by choice, or by constriction when forced into temporary detention centres. The largest detention centre was the CARA (Reception Centre for Asylum Seekers) of Mineo (close to Catania), under media attention for corruption scandals in its management, as well as episodic riots of migrants. However, other than sudden but ephemeral riots and protests, there have not been radical and continuous struggles of migrants in Sicily, such as those in the logistics sector or in the squatting for housing in the cities of Central-Northern Italy. This contribution is the result of research on the protests of migrants in Sicily, and not for or about migrants. We analyse migrants’ protests in Sicily in the lasts 5 years from 2013 to 2018, with the aim to understand their motivations and goals, but above all why in Sicily there are few single-issue protests and such scarcity of mobilizations led by migrants, which other Italian regions are instead experiencing.
Real-Time Optimization of Dynamic Speed Scaling for Distributed Data Centers

This paper proposes a new distributed real-time optimization for MapReduce-style framework in emerging cloud platforms supporting dynamic speed scaling functions. Distinctively different from the existing MapReduce parallelism strategy with fixed specific data chuck sizes, the new approach is able to dynamically dispatch input data of adequate sizes and synthesize interim processing results according to applications and the state of data centers (DCs). The key idea is to decouple the optimizations of data dispatching, processing, and result aggregation without loss of optimality, by employing stochastic optimization techniques. Another important aspect is that we optimize the subproblem of data processing to leverage the energy- and speed-configurability of DCs, by optimally deciding the number of servers to be activated at every DC and the CPU speeds of the activated servers. Evident from extensive simulations, the proposed approach is able to increase the throughput-cost ratio by up to 94.3$\%$, as compared to existing initiatives, and substantially improve the throughput in the case of high-rate data streams.
Antimicrobial resistance patterns of MDR Staphylococcus aureus clinical isolates involved in the lower respiratory tract infections in Egypt

Resistance of Staphylococcus (S.) aureus to the currently used antimicrobials has risen dramatically in the past years creating a medical challenge as therapeutic options became very limited. This study aimed to screen and detect the prevalence of some antimicrobial-resistant genes of S. aureus clinical isolates recovered from patients suffering lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in Egypt. A total of 231 bacterial isolates were recovered from sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens obtained from patients with LRTI. Thirty-seven isolates (16%) were identified as S. aureus where seventeen isolates (46%) showed resistance to ten or more antimicrobials. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that all the tested isolates were sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid (0%), however, the lowest resistance was observed to doxycycline (3%), and the highest resistance was observed to ciprofloxacin (51%). Sixteen isolates (43%) were found resistant to cefoxitin and harbored the mecA gene (100%). However, the mepA gene was detected in only 12 isolates (75%). Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) including, ctx-m, shv and tem and the aac(6’)-Ib genes, were detected in 10 (62%) and 8 (50%) isolates, respectively. None of the carbapenem-resistant genes including kpc, imp, vim, ndm, and oxa, were detected in any isolate. Multiple drug resistance (MDR) is a major health concern limiting the use of common antimicrobials in therapy. Thus, new national guidelines, as well as infection control strategies including antibiotic stewardship, must be implemented in the Egyptian hospitals to limit further spread of antimicrobial resistance.
Impact of a stage-matched weight loss intervention on stage of change progression in predominantly African-American female primary care patients

Obesity is associated with several chronic medical conditions. Certain individuals are at higher risk for obesity including low-income African American females. Despite the many benefits to weight loss, many individuals do not seek treatment. Individuals are likely to attend primary care appointments where obesity can be targeted. Although stage matched interventions based on the Transtheoretical Model (TM) have been used successfully to aid in health behavior change, few studies have examined the use of stage matched weight loss interventions in African American females. There is also a paucity of research examining the effects of stage matched weight loss interventions on TM related constructs, such as perceived stage of change (SOC), decisional balance (the perceived pros and cons of weight loss) and self-efficacy (confidence in ability to lose weight). This study examined the impact of a 6-month physician directed, stage matched weight-loss intervention on SOC, decision balance, and self-efficacy for weight loss in 158 low-income African Americans selected from primary care medical clinics. No differences in SOC, decisional balance, and self-efficacy from baseline to end of active treatment were found for the intervention group. Similarly, no differences in SOC were found between the intervention group and the usual care control (UC) group. Attempts to detect differences in SOC were greatly attenuated by the finding that 87% of participants indicated they were already in an advanced SOC prior to the start of treatment. Self-efficacy was found to be higher in the action SOC than the maintenance SOC, which was inconsistent with past research. These results suggest that stage-matched interventions work differently in this population and may not add any additional benefit to weight loss interventions. More research is needed comparing these interventions to more general weight loss techniques in primary care samples of low-income African Americans.
Démocratie et croissance économique en Afrique subsaharienne : l’effet de l’alternance des chefs d’Etat au pouvoir

Cet article analyse l’impact de l’alternance des dirigeants au pouvoir sur la croissance economique en Afrique subsaharienne, en utilisant un panel de 42 pays entre 1970 et 2016. Les resultats montrent que l’alternance des dirigeants au pouvoir affecte la crois-sance economique de maniere ambivalente. Le nombre d’alternances realisees a la tete d’un pays a un effet positif sur la croissance de long terme. Mais le fait d’etre en annee d’alter-nance implique des couts lies au changement politique qui tendent a penaliser la croissance a court terme. Des specificites existent neanmoins en fonction des zones linguis-tiques et geographiques. L’effet de l’alternance des chefs d’Etat est plus benefique pour la croissance des pays d’Afrique anglophone que francophone, aussi bien a court terme qu’a long terme. En outre, l’alternance ameliore plus la croissance des pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest que de l’est, mais a long terme uniquement. Nous concluons que les democraties d’Afrique subsaharienne devraient rechercher un bon equilibre dans le rythme et les conditions de l’alternance des dirigeants au pouvoir.
Hydrogenation of substituted nitroaromatics on non-noble metal catalysts: mechanistic insights to improve selectivity.

The mechanism of nitrobenzene hydrogenation on non-noble metals such as Ni is different from that previously reported for noble metals like Pt. The newly proposed pathway involves the initial dissociation of the two N-O bonds of nitrobenzene (Ph-NO2 → Ph-NO → Ph-N), leading to partial oxidation of the catalyst surface, followed by two successive hydrogenation steps (Ph-N → Ph-NH → Ph-NH2) that finally produce the functionalized aniline. Due to the oxophilic nature of non-noble metals like Ni, Co or Cu, the hydrogenation of the Ph-N intermediate and the removal of O in the form of water become the most energy demanding steps of the process. The strength of the interaction of O, H and N with different metals, and the preferential mode of adsorption of nitroarenes on clean and partially oxidized systems obtained from DFT calculations, are now used to propose an efficient non-noble metal catalyst that optimizes activity and selectivity.

Se concluye que la empresa estudiada se encuentra en la etapa elemental, en virtud de que cuenta con la capacidad para realizar mejores practicas de responsabilidad social, pero es necesario incluirlas formalmente en su filosofia y estructura organizacional.
Determinants of Community-Based Health Insurance Scheme Enrolment in Developing Countries: A Systematic Review

In developing Nations, the Community-based Health Insurance (CBHI) scheme is a potential approach to increasing access to quality healthcare. It has the potency of generating financial resources for health services; plus improve on the standard of life of the people. Evidence based reports suggest that enrolment into the CBHI is still low, particularly among low income earners of the third world nations. Thus, this study was undertaken to review and help formulate policies by existential evidence on the factors that determines enrolment into the CBHI in developing countries. Study adopted the thematic synthesis of both qualitative and mixed method studies that report the above measure of interest. Study relied on Ovid Medline In-Process and other Non-Indexed citations till present. Study sourced the web of Knowledge, Google Scholar for articles relating to enrolment into CBHI in developing countries. Six studies (qualitative and mixed method studies) reporting qualitative results on the factors determining enrolment into CBHI in developing countries met the inclusion criteria. Quality assessment was carried out on each study and findings were synthesised with the aid of thematic synthesis. Four major themes were identified by interpreting and categorizing the themes across all selected studies; Individual factors, Scheme factors, Service provider factors and Requirement to team up with others before enrolment. In the end, study observed enrolment into CBHI scheme in developing countries to be driven by several factors including age and policy making, most of which positively or negatively influence decisions made by households to enrol or not in the CBHI scheme. Findings from this review are expected to contribute to policy and decision making for health care centres under CBHI scheme in developing countries.
Impacts of Multiscale Racial Concentration on Neighborhood Foreclosure Risk in Immigrant Gateway Metropolitan Areas

Scholars define emerging gateway metropolitan areas in the United States as regions in which immigrant communities settled after the 1990s. Historically, immigrant and minority neighborhoods are characterized by exclusion from conventional sources of financial capital––factors which compound risks associated with residential instability and foreclosure. Yet, these new gateways may offer protection from foreclosure due to the relative affordability of housing and concentration of racial and ethnic and class advantages. We examine whether foreclosure risk is mediated through spatial processes, race, nativity, and class. We find that race and nativity play a major role in mediating risk across immigrant gateways. Neighborhoods with higher levels of Asian concentration presented lower risk, regardless of nativity and income. In contrast, Latino foreclosure risk varied by nativity, income, and gateway. Emerging gateways are also associated with higher foreclosure risk. Our findings inform resurgent ethnicity theory and how middle–class immigrant neighborhoods offer improved socioeconomic outcomes without relying on White areas as a standard for immigrant integration.
Tuberculosis Screening in New Healthcare Employees: A Comparison of QuantiFERON®-TB Gold In-Tube Test and Tuberculin Skin Test

Introduction: The two step tuberculin skin test is recommended by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for all new healthcare workers. The two step TST has limitations including compliance with both steps, subjective reader interpretation, and false-positive results. This can be problematic for Employee Health departments and cause delays in orientation. A systematic review of the literature was conducted to determine the evidence regarding implementation of Interferon Gamma Release Assays (IGRA) in Employee Health for new hire employees. This literature review is preliminary work for an evidence-based project to determine if baseline testing with QuantiFERON®-TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT®-GIT) will reduce tuberculosis screening time and improve compliance in new employees at Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System. Methods: CINAHL, PubMed, and Science Direct were searched with keywords IGRA, Interferon Gamma, tuberculosis screening, quantiferon, employee, healthcare worker, and tuberculosis. Studies published in English, conducted in low or medium TB incidence settings which included information regarding IGRA testing in healthcare workers including QFT®, QFT®-TB Gold, QFT®-GIT, or T-spot from 2005 to present met the inclusion criteria.
Comparison of MRI with x-ray in the evaluation of tuberculosis of spine

Introduction: MRI is the most valuable method for detecting early disease and is preferred technique to define the activity and extent of infection followed by x–ray. Aim: To evaluate MRI as a valuable noninvasive diagnostic tool in spinal tuberculosis and to correlate with plain radiograph for the early detection of spinal tuberculosis. Material and method: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 40 patients who were suspected as cases of spinal tuberculosis. Plain X-ray were done before the MRI examination. Results: The comparison of X-ray and MRI for evaluating spinal TB on the basis of end plate irregularity, thecal sac compression, cord compression and cord changes was statistically highly significant. It was statistically significant on the basis of Disk Space Narrowing/Disk Involvement, paravertebral Widening/Psoas abscess and Posterior Element Involvement. X-ray when compared to MRI was found to have a sensitivity of 48.72% and a specificity of 100% in detection of end plate irregularities, sensitivity of 89.47% and specificity of 100% in detection of vertebral height reduction, sensitivity of 78.79% and specificity of 100% in detection of disk Space narrowing / disk Involvement and sensitivity of 28.57% and specificity of 92.31% in detection of paravertebral widening/psoas abscess. Conclusion: MRI is a better and more Informative imaging modality in evaluation of patients of Pott’s spine providing the diagnosis earlier than conventional methods.
