Are We Practicing What We Are Taught in Health Professions’ Education? Coproducing Health Care

Health-care providers and educators are inherently empathetic, compassionate, experienced professionals who entered their profession to assure the complementary missions of public health and health care. These missions work to ensure conditions in which people can be healthy via disease and injury prevention, health promotion, and timely, effective, coordinated care (1). The skills necessary to achieve these crucial outcomes (ie, listening to the patient and their family, exhibiting empathy, and understanding the significance of the social determinants of health, etc) are routinely taught in health professions’ education. To highlight the necessity for these representative competencies covered throughout the course of health professions’ education, the personal experience of one of the author’s children is reported as a narration. The purpose of communicating this patient experience is to remind health-care providers: (a) about the importance of not only listening but hearing the parents of our patients and the patients themselves, (b) to actively practice the art and skill of empathy as the health-care setting can be overwhelming for patients and their families, and (c) to consider the impact of the social determinants of health on one’s health status to date. This 5-part patient experience serves to strengthen our commitment to assure that we practice what we are taught with the goal to coproduce health with our patients and their families.
INCIDÊNCIA DE GOLS RESULTANTES DE CONTRA-ATAQUES DE EQUIPES DE FUTSAL

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a incidencia de gols resultantes de contra-ataques em jogos de futsal de alto rendimento e observar como eles foram realizados de acordo com a sua origem e progressao ate a finalizacao. Foi observada uma amostra de 20 jogos da Liga Nacional de Futsal de 2009, gravados em fita VHS, utilizando a observacao indireta extensiva mediante formulario. Para analise dos resultados usou-se o metodo descritivo percentual, percebendo-se que os contra-ataques tem consideravel participacao nos gols marcados pelas equipes, uma vez que de um total de 88 jogos, 30 tiveram origem nas acoes de contra-ataque. Porem , como se trata de uma das acoes mais presentes no futsal, o numero de contra-ataques nao convertidos em gols e bastante maior que os convertidos visto que , a partir da coleta de dados , a conversao em gols foi de apenas 10,5% e os 89,5% restantes nao resultaram em gols apos a finalizacao da jogada, ja que das 285 jogadas de contra-ataques presentes nos 20 jogos, 255 nao foram convertidas em gol. A partir deste estudo percebeu-se que o contra-ataque e uma ferramenta tecnico/tatica no futsal sendo fator de relevância na determinacao dos resultados, porem ainda deve ser melhor trabalhada para ter a sua eficiencia aprimorada. Assim resultara em maior numero de finalizacoes convertidas em gol, tornando-as eficientes em todos os aspectos e evidenciando-as como diferencial para as equipes que saibam aproveita-las. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Futsal; Contra-ataque; Incidencia de gols. IMPACT OF GOALS RESULTING FROM THE COUNTER-ATTACK OF FUTSAL TEAM Abstract The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of goals resulting from counter-attacks in games of futsal and observe how they were carried out according to their origin and progression to completion. We observed a sample of 20 games in the National League Futsal, 2009, recorded on VHS tape, using the indirect observation through extensive form. To analyze the results used to rate the descriptive method, noting that the counter-attacks have considerable involvement in goals scored by the teams, since a total of 88 games, 30 have originated in the actions of counterattack. However, as this is an cation more present in futsal, the number of counter-attacks were not converted into goals is far greater than the converted since, from the data collection, conversion into goals was only 10.5% and the remaining 89,5% did not result in goals after completation of the move, as it moves from 285 to counter-attacks present in 20 games, 255 have not been converted into goal. From this study it was noticed that the counter-attack is a technical tool / tactic futsal being relevant factor in determining the results, but should still be better crafted to have its efficiency improved. So will result in more completions converted into goal, making them efficient in all respects, and highlighting them as a differential for teams who can take advantage of them. KEY-WORDS: Futsal; Counter-attack; Incidence of goals.
Parent-only Care: A Child Care Choice for Working Couple Families?

The article looks at decisions by couples with young children as to whether one or both parents are in paid employment and how they deal with the question of who will care for their children. It found that a substantial minority of Australian working parents with very young children often organise their work so that they do not need to use non-parental care. The paper uses 2004 data from the infant cohort of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) to examine the use of non-parental child care and fathers' involvement in child care in families in which both parents work. The main focus is the degree to which dual-employed families use parent-only care, and whether there are certain family or job characteristics associated with a higher likelihood of using parent-only care.
Fossil Fuel Free Municipalities in Sweden: Analysing Modes of Governing

Based on national legislations, Swedish municipal authorities have the responsibility as well as the means to shape their own transport and energy systems and lead the transformation towards fossil fuel free cities. In this report we explore how sixteen Swedish municipalities work toward fossil fuel free visions and goals with a particular emphasis on the urban transport and energy systems. We derive our findings from a broad review of municipal policy, strategy and program documents as well as from structured interviews with civil servants working within theseissues. The report presents a summary of the visions and goals adopted by municipalities in Sweden as well as the translation of these visions and goals into key targets and strategies. It also provides a summary of general patterns derived from document analysis and interviews of how municipal authorities work with and use various governing modes to facilitate the transformation towards less dependence on fossil fuels, using transport and energy as a focus area.

Current variability of the Kuroshio near the separation point from the western boundary

[1] Direct current measurements were conducted from April 2003 to March 2004 to investigate the current variability of the Kuroshio near the separation point from the western boundary. During the study period, the main stream of the Kuroshio flowed northeastward in the upper layer slightly offshore from the array of four mooring systems, while a southwestward current was observed in the intermediate layer on the coastal side of the array. Analyses based on the velocity and temperature measurement of the mooring meter array revealed eddy-to-mean kinetic and mean-to-eddy potential energy conversion in both the upper and intermediate layers. Downstream-propagating waves detected as significant extended empirical orthogonal functions (EEOFs) are predominant over velocity fluctuations of periods shorter than 50 days, explaining 67% of the total variance. The five apparent wave groups have periods of 7–18 days, wavelengths of 220–380 km, and phase velocities of 22–30 cm s−1, respectively, similar to the values reported in previous studies of upstream regions. Although the phase velocity at a given wavelength in the Kuroshio is lower than that in the Gulf Stream, the dispersion tendency (i.e., that phase velocity increases with decreasing period and wavelength) is the same for both currents. The relatively low phase velocity of the Kuroshio is considered to reflect its relatively low background velocity. Data regarding growth rate, vertical phase lags, and energetics suggest that kinetic energy in this region is transferred from small to large scales mainly via eddies resulting from baroclinic instability, which is possibly related to synoptic-scale path variability and the penetration of areas of high kinetic energy into the Kuroshio Extension.
Abundance of bacteria and fungi in seagrass and mangrove detritus

Microbial (bacterial and fungal) biomass associated with decaying Thalassia testudnum, Syringodium fdiforme, Halodule wnghtii, and Rhizophora mangle, incubated in litter bags in Florida Bay, was estimated from direct microscopic determinations of microbial abundance and cell volume. Bacterial biomass predominated throughout decomposition, with fungi usually constituting 0 to 20 % of the total microbial biomass. Total microbial biomass was never greater than 1.2 % of detrital mass, and in most cases was substantially less than 1.0 %. Based on these results, it is unlikely that detritivores that feed by ingestion of detrital particles can rely solely on microorganisms as an energy source.
Environmental factors and genetic parameters for some reproductive traits in Chacuba cattle

The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of environmental factors as well as to estimate components of (co) variance of reproductive traits in Chacuba cattle. For that, 4,957 records of cows, daughters of 893 dams and 110 sires were used. Models that considered number of parity, calf sex, and contemporary group (herd-year-season of calving) as fixed effects were tested. The season of calving was included as every two, three, four and six months. The interval from calving to conception (ICC), calving interval (CI), and services per conception (SC) were the traits analyzed with uni and multitrait models using the software ASReml. The parity (P<0.01) and the contemporary groups (P<0.01) significantly affected the reproductive traits; however, the calf sex (P>0.05) was not. The heritability for the traits analyzed were low with values of 0.14±0.02, 0.15±0.02 and 0.04±0.01 for ICC, CI and SC, respectively. Genetic correlations were high between ICC and CI (0.99±0.43) but low between ICC and SC (0.10±0.14) and between CI and SC (0.09±0.11). Genetics parameters estimation models for the traits ICC, CI, and SC for Chacuba cows should consider parity and herd-year-quarter contemporary groups. Indirect selection for the calving interval using the interval calving-conception, can be implemented given the genetic correlation between these traits.
Case Studies and the Flipped Classroom

ase study teaching has been extolled for its ability to engage students and devel-op critical-thinking skills, among other benefits. But there is a price to be paid: greater prepara-tion time, student resistance to novel teaching methods, and a concern on the part of many teachers about con-tent coverage. The latter is especially worrisome to STEM (science, tech-nology, engineering, and mathemat-ics) instructors who equate coverage with learning. They rightfully point out that there are state and national standards that must be met, stan-dardized exams that students must take, and prerequisites for advanced courses that must be satisfied. What to do? Must we abandon case studies and leave storytelling to books, films, TV, elementary school teachers, and preachers? Wait! Help is on the way in the form of the “flipped classroom. ” The “flipped” approach to teaching has become particularly attractive because of the availability of internet resources including audio and video on virtu-ally any subject, frequently narrated by some of the world’s outstanding authorities. And the approach seems to have singular appeal to students in this electronic age where videos in par -ticular have found a special place in the heart of the “Awesome Generation. ” In the flipped classroom model, what is normally done in class and what is normally done as homework is switched or flipped. Instead of students listening to a lecture on, say, genetics in class and then going home to work on a set of assigned problems, they read material and view videos on genetics before coming to class and then engage in class in active learn-ing using case studies, labs, games, simulations, or experiments. A guiding principle of the flipped classroom is that work typically done as homework (e.g., problem solving, essay writing) is better undertaken in class with the guidance of the instructor. Listening to lecture or watching videos is better accomplished at home. Hence the term flipped or inverted classroom.
Differentiation Therapy in Thyroid Carcinoma

Thyroid cancer (TC) has a much lower incidence (0.74% in men, 2.3% in women worldwide) than cancers of breast, colon, prostate, lung and endometrium but is the seventh most frequent human malignancy and the most common neoplasm of the endocrine system. Thyroid cancer accounts for 1% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases. Over the past decades the incidence of thyroid cancer has increased significantly (50% in the last 25 years). It is suspected that the observed increase is mainly due to better detection methods because microcarcinoma are seen frequently (up to 35%) in autopsies (Harach et al., 1985). Most cancers of the thyroid originate from follicular thyrocytes, only a minority of cancers, namely medullary thyroid cancer, originate from calcitonin producing C-cells (C-cells). They belong to another entity of tumors and will not be addressed in this review.
Pinching motion evaluation using human like sensing device

In this research, the surface electromyogram (surface EMG) and the pinching force when pinching an object were simultaneously measured for quantification of sensory evaluation. Experimental results show that subjects feel comfortable to pinch a cylinder of 60 [mm] length. The surface EMG and the motor torque were compared by the pinching experiment using a tendon-driven robot hand. The robot hand was developed based on the finger-flex mechanism model. All motor torque in the vicinity of 60[mm] length is lower than the other cylinder length. These results show the possibility of quantitative evaluation by the tendon-driven robot hand.
Evaluation of non-adherence to anti-retroviral therapy, the associated factors and infant outcomes among HIV-positive pregnant women: a prospective cohort study in Lesotho

Introduction Success in addressing prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV depends largely on good adherence to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) by pregnant women. Knowledge of the levels of ART adherence among pregnant women is essential to inform strategies to prevent or reduce HIV transmission rates, particularly in African settings. Aim: the primary objective of this study was to measure adherence to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) among pregnant women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The secondary objectives were to determine: i) the rate of new infections among children at Mabote Filter Clinic in Maseru, Lesotho whose mothers were enrolled in PMTCT, and ii) the factors associated with non-adherence to ART among pregnant women. Methods In this prospective cohort study, HIV-positive pregnant women receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) for prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) were followed up to delivery and their children were tested for HIV. We collected socio-demographic information, knowledge of PMTCT and adherence to ART (three-day recall and pill count) including reasons for non-adherence. We also used logistic regression to explore factors associated with non-adherence. Results One hundred and seven women were included. The mean (standard deviation) age of the participants was 28.2 (5.7) years. Most, 81.3% (87/107), were married, only 9.3% (10/107) had a postsecondary education. Two-thirds (63.6%: 68/107) of the participants started ART because of PMTCT. Only 78.5% (84/107) of the participants had adequate knowledge of the importance of PMTCT. The three-day self-reported non-adherence rate at the first visit was 7.5% (95% confidence interval (CI): 3.7, 13.1), but up to 43.4% (95% CI: 35.2, 51.9) using pill count. The most frequently reported reasons for not adhering were: running out of pills (7.5%), nausea (5.6%) and to avoid side-effects (3.7%). Women who were employed (odds ratio (OR) 4.35; 95% CI: 1.38,14.29; p = 0.012) and at a higher gestational age (OR = 1.43; 95% CI: 1.11, 1.85; p = 0.006) were more likely to be non-adherent. Only 1 of the 77 exposed infants was found to be positive for HIV at 6 weeks after birth. Conclusion We found a higher non-adherence rate for participants with pill count compared to a three-day adherence self-report. However, mother to child HIV transmission was relatively low. Lack of employment and relatively high gestational age were found to be predictive factors of non-adherence.
Hospitalized African American Men with Mental Illness: Some Antecedents to Service Satisfaction and Intent to Comply with Aftercare

Abstract The three objectives of this study were to evaluate antecedents to (1) male African Americans' satisfaction with in-patient mental health service provision, (2) their willingness to attend aftercare appointments upon discharge from the hospital, and (3) their primary therapists' satisfaction with the services they provided to these African American men. Subjects were 86 African American men who were recruited from the admissions unit of a psychiatric hospital serving a rural population from the Deep South. Results indicated that the only significant determinant of service satisfaction and intent to comply with aftercare was perceived staff empathy. Primary therapists' satisfaction with their own service provision included increased quality of life and reduction in symptomatology on the part of the subjects.

Computed Tomography: from Photon Statistics to Modern Cone-Beam CT

This book provides an overview of x-ray technology, describes the historic developmental milestones of modern CT systems, and gives comprehensive insight into reconstruction methods. Its intended audience is graduate students in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, and medical physics. This book is different from many books on x-ray physics and CT in the way the reconstruction methods are treated. There is an abundance of equations to describe the reconstruction methods for 2-dimensional CT and cone-beam CT. Scattered among many different journals are descriptions of the various CT reconstruction methods: from 2-dimensional parallel-beam, fanbeam, helical scan trajectory, and cardiac CT to 3-dimensional cone-beam. The author did an excellent job of bringing these descriptions together into a single book. The book consists of an introductory chapter followed by chapters on the fundamentals of x-ray physics, the milestones of CT, the fundamentals of signal processing, 2-dimensional Fourier-based reconstruction, algebraic and statistical reconstruction, technical implementations, 3-dimensional Fourier-based reconstruction, image quality and artifacts, practical aspects of CT, and dose. One drawback of this book is the 3-dimensional images. The sagittal and coronal images in Figures 1.8, 9.26, and 9.28 are not representative of images from modern CT scanners. I strongly recommend this book for students, scientists, and physicists who are interested in reconstruction theory and algorithms. For people who are not as interested in the equations, chapters 1–3 and 9–10 will enrich their knowledge of CT.
Non-disclosure of HIV testing history in population-based surveys: implications for estimating a UNAIDS 90-90-90 target

ABSTRACT Background: HIV/AIDS programmes and organisations around the world use routinely updated estimates of the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets to track progress and prioritise further programme implementation. Any bias in these estimates has the potential to mislead organisations on where gaps exist in HIV testing and treatment programmes. Objective: To measure the extent of undisclosed HIV testing history and its impact on estimating the proportion of people living with HIV (PLHIV) who know their HIV status (the ‘first 90’ of the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets). Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using population-based HIV serological surveillance conducted between 2010 and 2016 and linked, directly observed HIV testing records in Kisesa, Tanzania. Generalised estimating equations logistic regression models were used to detect associations with non-disclosure of HIV testing history adjusting for demographic, behavioural, and clinical characteristics. We compared estimates of the ‘first 90’ using self-reported survey data only and augmented estimates using information from linked records to quantify the absolute and relative impact of undisclosed HIV testing history. Results: Numbers of participants in each of the survey rounds ranged from 7171 to 7981 with an average HIV prevalence of 6.9%. Up to 33% of those who tested HIV-positive and 34% of those who tested HIV-negative did not disclose their HIV testing history. The proportion of PLHIV who reported knowing their status increased from 34% in 2010 to 65% in 2016. Augmented estimates including information from directly observed testing history resulted in an absolute impact of 6.7 percentage points and relative impact of 12.4%. Conclusions: In this population, self-reported testing history in population-based HIV serological surveys under-estimated the percentage of HIV positives that are diagnosed by a relative factor of 12%. Research should be employed in other surveillance systems that benefit from linked data to investigate how bias may vary across settings.
Socio-demographic Correlates of Older Adults’ Living Arrangements in Botswana

This study uses data from the 2011 Population and Housing Census (PHC) to examine the living arrangements of adults aged ≥ 65 years and to assess individual-level and household-level correlates of living alone for this age sector. Measures included age, sex, marital status, educational attainment, religion, employment status, occupation, economic activity, geographic locale, place of usual residence, housing and living conditions, disability status and relationship of respondent to household head. Overall, 12.6% of older persons lived alone. A higher percentage of this group resided in rural villages and settlements and they were more likely to be male, younger, and non-Christian, and to have attained tertiary education and be working. 6% of older adults who lived alone resided in very poor households and they fared worse economically than those in shared living arrangements. Their most common disabilities were vision (9.8%) and hearing (4.1%) impairments, with 22.2% of the former and 21.1% of the latter living alone. Policy and practice implications of study findings for Botswana’s aging population are discussed in the paper.
