Postrehabilitation Exercise Considerations Following Hip Arthroplasty

ABSTRACT JOINT REPLACEMENT (ARTHROPLASTY) IS THE MAINSTAY OF SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH PAIN AND IMPAIRMENTS OF THE HIP THAT HAVE BEEN RECALCITRANT TO CONSERVATIVE INTERVENTIONS. MANAGEMENT OF CLIENTS WHO HAVE HAD A HIP ARTHROPLASTY (HA) CAN BE CHALLENGING FOR THE STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PROFESSIONAL GIVEN THE POTENTIAL FOR LATE COMPLICATIONS AND RESIDUAL IMPAIRMENTS. ALTHOUGH COMMON OVERARCHING PRINCIPLES EXIST THAT MAY IMPROVE THE CLIENT’S FITNESS LEVEL, A REQUISITE UNDERSTANDING OF SURGICAL APPROACHES, PRECAUTIONS, REHABILITATION PRINCIPLES, AND RESIDUAL IMPAIRMENTS ARE NECESSARY TO DESIGN SAFE AND EFFECTIVE POSTREHABILITATION EXERCISE PROGRAMS. THIS ARTICLE PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR POSTREHABILITATION PROGRAM DESIGN FOLLOWING HA.
The effect of weaning regimen on behavioral and production responses of beef calves

ABSTRACT The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effect of method and timing of weaning on the behavior and DMI of calves throughout weaning, transportation, and a simulated receiving period. Cow-calf pairs (n = 30) housed in a common paddock were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments: preweaning by abrupt removal of the dam 5 d before transportation (AW-P), 2-stage weaning using nose flaps applied 5 d before transportation (2-STG), or abrupt weaning on the day of transport (AW-T). The experiment included 5 d of baseline measurement (BLN), a 5-d weaning period (WN), 4.5 h of transportation (TRANS), and a simulated receiving period encompassing two 1-wk measurement periods (REC1 and REC2, respectively). During the REC1 and REC2, calves were housed by treatment (n = 3). Pedometers were used to measure lying time and steps from BLN to REC1. During d 1 to 3 of WN, 2-STG calves took fewer steps than AW-P calves but more than AW-T calves ( P P P P
Work-Family Conflict and Psychological Well-Being of Tour Leaders: The Moderating Effect of Leisure Coping Styles

Abstract This study examines the effect of work-family conflict on tour leaders’ psychological well-being and aims to understand the moderating role of leisure coping styles. A total of 288 valid questionnaires were collected from outbound tour leaders. Results show that the work-family conflict has a negative effect on the psychological well-being of tour leaders and that the planned-breather leisure coping style has a positive effect on psychological well-being, and the avoidant leisure coping style has a negative effect. Moreover, the planned-breather leisure coping style can buffer the negative relationship between work-family conflict and psychological well-being, and the avoidant leisure coping style can reinforce the negative relationship between work-family conflict and psychological well-being.
Translingual Writing in a Linguistically Diverse Primary Classroom

Growing numbers of scholars in composition studies support translingual orientations in their postsecondary writing classrooms. However, translingual orientations are rarely extended to elementary school writers, who are often asked to compose exclusively in Dominant American English. Drawing on theories of translingualism and emergent biliteracy, we use case study methods to examine children’s translingual writing in a highly linguistically diverse second-grade classroom. We pay particular attention to students who had not had formal instruction in languages they tended to use orally, documenting the creative and strategic ways in which they wrote. Among other strategies, students repurposed English sound–symbol correspondences in developmental spelling, composed strings of non-Roman symbols, and remixed multilingual environmental print. They also engaged in translingual writing for a range of purposes, such as expressing pride, connecting with audiences, and indexing identities. Our findings suggest the potential of moving translingual perspectives beyond postsecondary contexts and into elementary classrooms.
Extraversion in women with fibromyalgia as a predictor of better prognosis: an intervention model in dance movement therapy

ABSTRACT This study examined the relationship between extraversion, the ability to identify emotions in observed movement and quality of life (QoL), among women with and without fibromyalgia (FM). The sample was 50 adult women. Participants were asked to fill out Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, NEO Five Factor Inventory, Short Form 36 Health Survey, Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 and demographic questionnaire, were shown video clips of body movements and were asked to identify the emotion. The results showed that extraversion was positively correlated with the identification of happiness among FM patients and with QoL. A correlation was found between the ability to identify ‘happiness’ and ahigher perceived QoL. FM patients who showed ahigher level of extraversion identified happiness better than those who were not found to be extraverted. It can be assumed that expression of emotion using dance/movement therapy, which activates mirror neurons, will increase empathic abilities. Results led to the building of a therapeutic intervention model based on the practical implications of the findings.
Comparative efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and griseofulvin in the treatment of lichen planus

Background Lichen planus (LP) is an unpredictable disease that typically persists for 1 to 2 years, but which may follow a chronic, relapsing course over many years. Management of LP can be challenging and discouraging for both the patient and physician. Objectives To compare the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine and griseofulvin in the treatment of LP. Patients and methods 80 cases of age group 20-60 years were selected for the study during the period of July 2007 to June 2009 in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology of three different hospitals in Bangladesh. All cases were diagnosed clinically and confirmed by histopathological examination of skin. The patients were randomly divided into 2 equal groups. Group A was given hydroxychloroquine 400 mg daily and group B was given griseofulvin 500mg daily for a period of 6 months. Results 53 (66%) male and 27 (34%) female were included in the study. The mean age in group A was 39.03±12.28 years and in group B was 42.87±11.16 years (p=0.146). The mean duration of the disease in group A was 4.37±3.87 months and in group B was 4.35±3.32 months (p=0.975). In group A clinical responders were 28 (70%): complete response in 7 (17.5%) and moderate improvement in 21 (52.5%) and in group B clinical responders were 17 (42.5%): complete response in 2 (5%) and moderate improvement in 15 (37.5%) [p=0.027]. Conclusion In this study both hydroxychloroquine and griseofulvin showed clinical improvement but hydroxychloroquine showed a relatively better response than griseofulvin in the treatment of LP.
Psychobiological mechanisms underlying the stress-reducing effects of music listening in daily life

Objective: Given that music listening often occurs in a social context, and given that social support can be associated with a stress-reducing effect, it was tested whether the mere presence of others while listening to music enhances the stress-reducing effect of listening to music. Methods: A total of 53 participants responded to questions on stress, presence of others, and music listening five times per day (30 minutes after awakening, 1100h, 1400h, 1800h, 2100h) for seven consecutive days. After each assessment, participants were asked to collect a saliva sample for the later analysis of salivary cortisol (as a marker for the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis) and salivary alphaamylase (as a marker for the autonomic nervous system). Results: Hierarchical linear modeling revealed that music listening per se was not associated with a stress-reducing effect. However, listening to music in the presence of others led to decreased subjective stress levels, attenuated secretion of salivary cortisol, and higher activity of salivary alpha-amylase. When listening to music alone, music that was listened to for the reason of relaxation predicted lower
Variations in susceptibility to the effects of trypanosomiasis in East African zebu cattle

Bovine trypanosomiasis is prevalent in 66,000 km 2 of southwest Ethiopia infested with tsetse flies (Fordet al., 1976; Krug, 1971). Since 1986, East African zebu cattle raised under trypanosomiasis risk in the Ghibe valley of southwest Ethiopia have been studied to investigate the effects of trypanosomiasis on health and productivity. As the project progressed it became apparent that many animals were repeatedly being detected parasitaemic despite treatment with diminazene aceturate at a dose of 3.5 mg/kg bodyweight (Rowlandset al.,1993). A model to distinguish between new and recurrent infections was developed (Rowlands et al.,1991) in order to determine if the high infection rate following treatment ofTrypanosoma congolense infections, the predominant species, was due solely to the high tsetse challenge or instead to relapses of infections following treatment. Rowlandset al. (1993) showed that changes in T. congolenseprevalence matched corresponding changes in tsetse challenge. However, the number of detected parasitaemias attributable to new infections accounted for only about two thirds of all parasitaemias, implying that a proportion of the detected parasitaemias was due to recurrent infections. These results pointed to the existence of drug resistant trypanosomes and this was confirmed by Codjiaet al. (1993). Twelve stabilates obtained from cattle at Ghibe were inoculated into individual Boran calves and characterized for their sensitivity to diminazene aceturate, isometamidium chloride and homidium chloride. All 12 stabilates produced infections resistant to treatment with diminazene aceturate, while 11 produced infections resistant to isometamidium chloride and homidium chloride. With this evidence of very high levels of drug resistance under laboratory conditions it is perhaps surprising that a higher prevalence of parasitaemia was not being detected in the field. The prevalence of T. congolenseat the time that isolates were collected was 37%. It would appear, therefore, that, whilst treatment may not have been eliminating infections, it may have
Team familiarity in cardiac surgery operations: The effects of hierarchy and failure on team productivity

Project teams are regularly assembled by a variety of organizations in order to perform knowledge-intensive tasks. Previous shared experiences among their members can have a significant impact on team performance. In this study, we use a unique and detailed dataset of 6206 cardiac surgeries from a private hospital in Europe, property of an American non-profit organization, in order to examine how past shared experiences of individuals affect future team productivity. Using transactive memory system as theoretical framework, we first decompose overall team familiarity into horizontal familiarity (e.g. surgeon to surgeon) and hierarchical familiarity (e.g. surgeon to nurse) and find that the former one is more beneficial for team productivity than the latter one. Next, we observe that horizontal familiarity of high-power, high-status individuals has a higher impact on team productivity than the one among subordinate individuals. Finally, we investigate how past failure experiences of individuals in the same team can increase future team productivity more than past shared successes. Our results provide useful insights for managers who aim to increase team productivity via better team allocation strategies.
Enthymematic free space: the efficacy of anti-stop-and-frisk arguments in the face of racial prejudice

Abstract Much scholarly energy has been invested in understanding how rhetors covertly invoke racial bias and how “color-blind” rhetoric produces unintended racist effects. Less scholarly attention has been paid to the unintended racist effects of anti-racist rhetoric. Anti-racist rhetors often present racial disparities in the criminal justice system to argue for reform, but psychological research suggests that such information can inspire audiences to support the status quo. To understand the rhetorical factors that contribute to such results, we analyze anti-stop-and-frisk literature produced by two New York advocacy organizations. These organizations employ racial disparity figures in enthymemes, defined by Aristotle as syllogisms that invite audiences to complete sometimes incompletely expressed lines of reasoning. Variations in which parts of an enthymeme are clearly or prominently stated influence the range of possible propositions that audiences can supply to fill in missing or obscured pieces—the enthymematic free space. Based on our analysis, we identify three sources of risky enthymematic free space involving racial disparities that allow audiences to employ their racial prejudices as premises in arguments against stop-and-frisk, consequently concluding the opposite of what is intended. We recommend three alternative argumentative strategies to reduce the risk of producing this unintended rhetorical result.
Mobile learning and accounting students’ readiness in tertiary and professional institutions in Nigeria

Abstract Mobile Learning (m-learning) a learning method facilitated by the convenience of mobile technology has a crucial role to play in the development of quality education in Nigeria which represents the fourth Sustainable Development Goal. However, Despite the advantages of mobile learning as an emerging learning method and its adoption across several disciplines, research into its adoption in accounting education and within developing contexts including Nigeria is still at infancy. This study, therefore, investigates the readiness of Accounting students in Nigeria to utilize m-learning for their accounting education. The survey research design was employed with copies of a relevant questionnaire distributed to 1,225 accounting students in three tertiary as well as three professional institutions in Nigeria, a total of 1021 of the retrieved copies were deemed suitable for data analyses. The study observes that there is a widespread usage of mobile devices and technology, especially smart devices among accounting students in both tertiary and professional institutions. It also found that the cost of internet access, instability of network as well as the level of the inexperience of students and instructors may impede the successful adoption of m-learning in Nigeria. The study recommends that m-learning adoption of m-learning in Nigerian should go in-line with the enhancement of mobile infrastructure especially network coverage and the training of students as well as instructors in the country to use mobile technology for learning. This will bring sustainable development to education in Nigeria.
Race, Response to Intervention, and Reading Research

In this critique, race is centralized to draw attention to the role it plays in the complex evolution of response to intervention, past and present. I use a critical race theory analytical lens to focus on how the dominant narrative serves as a framework within institutional and political structures in support of the approach. A brief overview of anti-discrimination laws and policies is followed by several historical narratives that are used to convey the intersecting nature of early reading and special education research. The body of research is employed to articulate the goals and purpose of the intervention, sans a clear commitment to addressing racial disproportionality. This critique particularly exposes how response to intervention has neither improved reading achievement nor curtailed racial disproportionality, and emphasizes that reading research is complicit in the reproduction of racial inequality in education. I conclude with a call to action.
Self-Authorship Capacity and Its Relationship with College Student Experiences and Outcomes

To achieve many outcomes promoted by student affairs educators, students need the internal capacity to author their knowledge, identities, and relationships. This study examined the link between students’ entering self-authorship capacity and their experiences and outcomes in their first and fourth years. Findings from 214 participants indicate that self-authorship capacity is positively and significantly associated with subsequent academic challenge, diversity experiences, and faculty/staff interactions, which then predict increased psychological well-being, leadership skills, and intercultural competence.
Mental health care utilization in three-to-six-year-old-children: which behaviours predict parents and daycare teachers’ perceived need for action?

ABSTRACT Unmet mental health needs are common in young children. Recent research on mental health care utilization has focussed mainly on parental perspectives. This study seeks to determine which types of behaviours exhibited by children predict the perceived need for action among both parents and daycare teachers. Parents and daycare teachers reported on problematic behaviours and psychosocial competences among 255 children three to six years of age in Germany. Participants were additionally asked if they perceived a need for action due to the child's behaviour. The results indicate that for parents, Emotional Dysregulation, Speech Problems, and Health and Developmental Problems had predictive power. For daycare teachers, Aggressive Behaviour, Health and Developmental Problems, and the older Age of children predicted the perceived need for action, whereas Social Competence decreased the probability for perceived need. Sensitivity towards the detection of emotional disorders should be increased to improve mental health care utilization.
The Benefits of Criminal Justice Internships at a Historically Black University: An Analysis of Site Supervisors’ Evaluations of Interns’ Professional Development

Abstract There are numerous studies on the benefits of internships in the extant literature, although many of these studies focused on the views of students and professors/instructors. These studies were also conducted mainly in predominantly White institutions. The present study makes an important contribution to the literature by being the first to examine site supervisors’ evaluations of criminal justice interns at a historically Black university (HBCU). It is also one of the first studies to examine the role of internships in professional development at an HBCU. We used ordinary least-squares (OLS) regression to examine data collected between 2015 and 2018 (with an overall sample size of 352), and found that good communication with clients, a professional appearance, and punctuality predicted interns’ professional development. Contrary to expectations, gender and internship length did not predict professional development. The implications of our findings for student professional development and benefits of internships, especially at HBCUs, are discussed.
Validation of the RIS Eldercare Self-Efficacy Scale*

ABSTRACT This paper presents psychometric data on a new, three-dimensional measure of self-efficacy for caregivers of older adults. Based on a sample of family caregivers of persons with dementia and a longitudinal study design (Time 1: N = 134; Time 2: N = 103), the RIS Eldercare Self-Efficacy Scale assesses relational self-efficacy, instrumental self-efficacy, and self-soothing efficacy. These three dimensions show strong internal consistency and moderate test-retest reliability. Their construct validity is demonstrated by their zero-order correlations with a set of standardized indicators of the caregivers' health and morale, personality characteristics, and personal resources. Multivariate analyses suggest that the three dimensions are more strongly trait- than state-linked. Use of this measure as a clinical screening tool and in intervention research is discussed. RÉSUMÉ Cette étude offre des données psychométriques d'une nouvelle mesure en trois dimensions des connaissances de ses propres capacités (l'auto-efficacité) de ceux qui s'occupent des personnes âgées. Á partir d'un échantillonnage des personnes occupant le rôle d'aide naturelle s'occupant de personnes souffrant de démence, et d'un modèle d'étude longitudinale (premier temps : N = 134 ; deuxième temps : N = 103), l'échelle RIS Eldercare Self-efficacy évalue l'auto-efficacité relationnelle, l'auto-efficacité instrumentale et l'efficacité auto-calmante. Ces trois dimensions démontrent une forte cohérence interne et une fiabilité modérée d'examen et de réexamen. La validité d'interprétation des trois dimensions est démontrée par leurs corrélations zéro-ordre, jumelées à des indices uniformisés de la santé et du moral de l'aide naturelle, de même que les caractéristiques de la personnalité et des ressources personnelles de cette dernière. L'analyse de variantes multiples suggère que les trois dimensions sont plutôt liées aux traits qu'à l'état. L'étude discute aussi de l'utilisation de cette mesure en tant qu'outil de dépistage clinique et pendant la recherche d'intervention.

Incidence of bullying in schools: A study of a cross-section of primary and secondary school students in Brunei Darussalam

This paper consolidates the findings of two studies conducted in Brunei Darussalam on the incidences of bullying among Primary and Secondary school pupils. Students from both Primary and Secondary schools responded to a questionnaire on the incidence of bullying in their school. Results from the studies show that the frequency of the incident of bullying peaked at around secondary one and showed a decline in the upper forms. While the ranking of the types of bullying experienced by students at the different levels of schooling were similar, differences were noted in the ranking of the types of bullying experienced by boys and girls particularly in the primary years. Psychological bullying was more common among girls whereas bullying of a physical nature was more common among boys. The classroom was the place where students‟ experienced most bullying and a close friend and parent were the individuals to whom most students would report the incidence of bullying. Some implications for classroom practice and further research are discussed.
Assessment of Antimicrobial Activity of Endodontic Sealers on Enterococcus Faecalis: An in vitro Study

Microorganisms invading the root canal system of a tooth may interact with the host tissue and cause pulpo-periapical pathosis. The goals of root canal treatment are to disinfect the root canal system and to prevent subsequent reinfection. The disinfection is attempted with endodontic instruments, irrigants, and medications. Due to the complex canal anatomy, microorganisms can persist even after thorough disinfection regimens are used. After disinfection, the canal is sealed with a root filling material along with sealers. To curtail residual microorganisms, root-filling materials should ideally be bactericidal, as well as biocompatible. In addition, the root filling materials are expected to act as a physical barrier to prevent the leakage of substrate to any residual microorganisms and the ingress of additional microorganisms. The aim of the present study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of various Endodontic sealers on the Enterococcus faecalis. Enterococcus faecalis is a microorganism commonly detected in asymptomatic, persistent endodontic infections. In the changing face of dental care, continued research on E. faecalis and its elimination from the dental apparatus may well define the future of the endodontic specialty.
