Determinants of private school participation: All about the money?

For those who grew up in Britain in the latter half of the 20th century, there is known to be a strong association between social class or family income and attending a private school. However, increasing private school fees and promotion of school choice in the state sector have potential implications for the predictors of participation in private schooling in the 21st century. In this paper, through analysis of rich, longitudinal data from a recent, representative birth cohort study, we provide new evidence on this issue. Given the high and rising fees required to send a child to private school, one might think that the decision is entirely connected with financial resources. However, while these remain an important factor, we argue that other determinants are also important. In particular, we highlight the importance of parental values and geographical proximity to high-quality state school alternatives: a one standard deviation increase in levels of parental traditional values is associated with 2.5 percentage point higher probability of their child attending a private school, while each minute of additional travel time to the nearest state school judged `Outstanding' by England's schools inspectorate is associated with a 0.2 percentage point higher probability of attending a private school. We also examine the characteristics of those who `mix and match' state and private schooling, noting their similarity to private school attendees in terms of their values but lower levels of financial resources.
An institutional ethnographic exploration of the transitional experience of registered nurses entering the long-term care environment

As the Canadian population advances in age, and the proportion of citizens’ aged 65 years and older increases, greater strain is placed on the health care system, particularly the long-term care (LTC) sector. Registered Nurses (RN) are vital members of the LTC team; however, little is known about the transition period for them into the LTC environment. Understanding the lived experiences of RNs who transition into LTC will not only support the development of strategies to positively impact recruitment and retention, but will also enhance the quality of care and life for LTC residents. The purpose of this research was to investigate the lived experiences of RNs who are transitioning, or have transitioned, into the LTC environment. Dorothy Smith’s Institutional Ethnography (Smith, 1987) was adopted as a creative approach to the issue under study. The experiences of RNs who transition into LTC and the social, political, historical, and economic factors that influence their role and experiences were explored. Findings from the study reveal a complex transition period for RNs and the social and ruling relations that mediate their everyday/everynight lives and shape their transitional experience were identified.

Evaluation of Using Connective Tissue Graft as a Biological Barrier to Cover Immediately Placed Implants in Maxillary Anterior Region

Objective: The placement of dental implants immediately after tooth extraction has proven to be a predictable treatment protocol with a very high success rate. However, despite the high success rates achieved with osseointegrated implants, there are some disadvantages that could jeopardize the success of an immediate implant procedure. In particular, in the esthetic zone, bone morphology, level of crestal and interproximal bone, and morphology of the gingival tissues must be considered before initiating treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically the effect of using connective tissue graft as a biological barrier to cover immediately placed dental implants in maxillary anterior region. Subjects and Methods: Fourteen patients were selected from the Department of Oral medicine, and Periodontology, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Egypt. All pateints were indicated for tooth extraction and presence of sufficient apical bone to guarantee implant primary stability. They patients were undergo immediately placed implant after atraumatic tooth extraction and connective tissue graft is used to provide implant coverage. All patients were evaluated clinically at 1st and 3rd month after loading for modified paque index (mPI), modified gingival index (mGI) and prei-implant probing depth (PPD). Also radiographical evaluation to assess marginal bone height and to measure bone density around the implants done immediately postoperative and at 3rd month after implant placement and at 1st and 3rd month after implant loading. Results: the results of this study showed that the mean mPI was 1.71 ± 1.11 and 1.29 ± 0.76 at 1 and 3 months respectively. The mean mGI was 0.89 ± 0.63 and 0.43 ± 0.43 at 1st and 3rd month respectively, this decrease in the mean modified gingival index score from the 1st to the 3rd month was statistically significant (Z= 2.39, p= 0.02). The mean PPD for was 1.75 ± 0.20 and 1.25 ± 0.19 at 1st and 3rd month respectively, this decrease in the mean probing depth score from the 1st to the 3rd month was found to be statistically significant (t= 6.41, p= 0.001). Radiographic result showed, the mean radiographic marginal bone height was 77.79 ± 1.11, 77.93 ± 1.08, 78.15 ± 1.01 and 78.42 ± 0.97 at immediate postoperative, 3rd month of implant placement, 1st month after implant loading and 3rd months after implant loading respectively, the increase in the mean radiographic marginal bone height from the time of surgery to the 3rd month after loading was found to be statistically significant (t= 10.81, prd month of implant placement, 1st month after implant loading and 3rd month after implant loading respectively, the increase in the mean radiographic bone density from the time of the surgery to the 3rd month after loading was found to be statistically significant (t= 43.80, pConclusion: using connective tissue graft to cover immediate placed dental implants provided clinical and radiographic improvement with no side effect on the healing process.
Skills proficiency and the labour market outcomes of migrants

Across the OECD, the labour-market performance of foreign-born-adults tends to lag behind that of the native-born. Immigrants are not only more likely to be unemployed or inactive, but they also earn less and work in lower-skilled jobs. Differences in skills proficiency, language spoken and country of education explain a large part – albeit not the entirety – of these observed gaps. Policies should therefore aim to provide immigrants with effective language tuition, adult education and training programmes in order to ensure the successful integration of foreign-born workers into host economies.
Quality of Life (QOL) Assessment among Advance Cancer Patient Undergoing Palliative Treatment in Malaysia: A Social Work Perspective

Palliative treatment is the best treatment for advanced cancer patients improve their quality of life (QOL). There is a lack of local data on the patients' QOL among cancer patient receiving palliative treatment in a university medical center in Malaysia. This study aims to describe QOL among patients with advance cancer disease receiving palliative treatment in a teaching hospital in Kuala Lumpur. This was a cross-sectional study that has been done with 120 of cancer patients that receiving palliative treatment using convenience sampling. The SF-36 questionnaire has been used to measures Quality of Life (QOL) across eight domains based on physically and emotionally component summary. Results showed that the highest score of QOL were observed in the Mental Component Summary (44.93± 6.84) compared with Physical Component Summary at (42.24± 7.91). More studies are needed to investigate patients who score poorly on physical and mental component aspects to understand their needs in order to achieve better cancer care especially in social work perspective.
Indoor positioning for smartphones without infrastructure and user adaptable

Given that the classic solutions for positioning outdoors, such as GPS (Global Positioning System) or GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) do not work indoors, there have been emerging multiple alternatives for Indoor Location. Usually these solutions require extensive and complex installations, which involve high costs. In this thesis we address the problem of indoor positioning with mobile phones with the goal of maximizing the accuracy of estimated positions while minimizing the infrastructure required. We have worked on two main scenarios: Indoor positioning for pedestrians and for vehicles. At the same time our solution must work in real world situations. This implies that it must be robust to different users and hardware, allow normal use of the telephone (use it to talk, carry it in the hand or pocket, etc.) and work while carrying out different activities. Our proposal makes use of the sensors of the smartphone in order to estimate and update the position of the user. It combines absolute position measurements, taking advantage of the already existing infrastructure of the building (WiFi, BLE), with the information of the inertial sensors of the smartphone (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer) in order to determine the displacement of the user. Combining this information allows us to relate the measurements both temporally and spatially and thus obtain greater precision without the need to increase the infrastructure.
Neuro-functional correlates of protective effects of wheel-running exercise against cocaine locomotor sensitization in mice: a [18F]fallypride microPET study

Wheel-running exercise in laboratory rodents (animal model useful to study the neurobiology of aerobic exercise) decreases behavioral markers of vulnerability to addictive properties of various drugs of abuse including cocaine. However, neurobiological mechanisms underpinning this protective effect are far from being fully characterized and understood. Here, 28-day-old female C57BL/6J mice were housed with (n=48) or without (n=48) a running wheel for 6 weeks before being tested for acute locomotor responsiveness and initiation of locomotor sensitization to intraperitoneal injections of 8 mg/kg cocaine. The long-term expression of sensitization took place 3 weeks after the last session. On the day after, all mice underwent a microPET imaging session with [18F]fallypride radiotracer (dopamine 2/3 receptor (D2/3R) antagonist). Exercised mice were less sensitive to acute and sensitized cocaine hyperlocomotor effects, such attenuation being particularly well-marked for long-term expression of sensitization (η2p = 0.262). Additionally, we found that chronic administrations of cocaine was associated with a clear-cut increase of [18F]fallypride binding potential in mouse striatum (η2p = 0.170), presumably reflecting an increase in postsynaptic D2/3R density in this region. Finally, we found evidence that wheel-running exercise was associated with a moderate decrease in D2/3R density in striatum (η2p = 0.075), a mechanism that might contribute to protective properties of such form of exercise against drugs of abuse vulnerability.
Role and Activities of Revenue Manager between Individual and Team Competencies: Empirical Evidence in a Tourist Destination

Among the new figures that have appeared in the panorama of tourism in recent decades, the revenue manager is one that most intrigues operators and scholars. It is a figure whose outlines are still poorly defined. Even their activities are still not properly chalked out. These activities, other than being often confused with mere dynamic pricing with which actually they do not coincide, take place in structures according to an extreme variety of contents and methods. Of late, the literature has examined some aspects of revenue management. These include the strategic relevance of activity, the impact in terms of performance, the operating modes and technological support in the management of variables, and so on. However, the organizational dimension of revenue management activities does not appear to be very thorough in terms of who does what and the skills associated with this role. This work is part of the research in progress at different Italian destinations to understand which hotel activities fall within “revenue management”. Linked with these activities, the research aims to find out about the knowledge, skills, and abilities required. The focus of the present paper is on Bellaria-Igea Marina in the province of Rimini. The results can be useful scholars interested in investigating these aspects. Hotels in organizing revenue management activities can also make use of these results. Further, they would come handy during the selection and evaluation of revenue managers.
When Hosts Disclose Their Private Information on Accommodation Sharing Platforms: An Information Commercialization Perspective

The proliferation of the Internet and platform economy has given rise to the sharing economy as a popular business model. While much research has focused on the economic and social benefits aspects, privacy issue in sharing economy is often overlooked. Drawing on the privacy calculus theory and the literature of information-as-a-commodity perspective, this study focuses on accommodation sharing platform Airbnb and aims to investigate the critical role of hosts’ information commercialization in leading to their private information disclosure behavior on the platform. This study fills in the research gap by theorizing the concept of information commercialization in accommodation sharing platforms and addressing its formation mechanisms and behavioral outcome.
Reptile anaesthesia and analgesia

Anaesthesia and analgesia in reptiles is not more difficult than in any other veterinary species. However, general practitioners often lose the opportunity to perform different procedures in snakes, lizards, chelonians and crocodilians because they may feel uncomfortable with anaesthesia and analgesia of these patients. It is unfortunately common for veterinary surgeons, even those seeing reptiles on a regular basis, to under-use analgesics in reptile patients (Read, 2004). This article will guide practitioners on performing proper and safe anaesthetic procedures, and will discuss the developing science of reptile analgesia.
Supernumerary Teeth: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study from Palestine

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of supernumerary teeth among patients attending the students' dental clinics at the Faculty of Dentistry of the Arab American University, Jenin, Palestine. Material and Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study of 1970 digital panoramic radiographs of patients, age ranging between 12 and 50 years. The radiographs and dental records were reviewed for supernumerary teeth. For each patient with supernumerary teeth, were recorded the demographic variables, number, location, eruption status, type, and morphology, the developmental stages. Descriptive statistics were performed and results were tabulated. Results: Supernumerary teeth were detected in 17 subjects (0.86%), of which 13 were males and 4 were females with a male to female ratio of 3.25:1. Of the 17 patients, 64.7% had one supernumerary tooth while the others had two. The majority (78.3%) of the supernumeraries were located in the maxilla. Around 56.5% of the supernumeraries found in this study were located in the premaxilla. Half of the supernumeraries (52.2%) were erupted, and 47.8% were impacted. Mesiodens was the most frequently seen supernumerary teeth followed by distomolars and premolars. Most of the supernumeraries were fully developed, while 21.7% displayed only crown formation. Conclusion: The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in the study sample was found to be 0.86% and the most frequent type was mesiodens. Supplemental morphology was found to be the most common form of supernumerary teeth.
Impact Of Open Door Policy In Admissions On Retention Of Et Students

Several institutions of higher education in the United States provide open access to admission to students believing that citizens should have the opportunity to pursue higher education. There are no entrance requirements in terms of ACT or SAT scores. These institutions also offer College 101 or University 101 courses, in addition to developmental courses in mathematics and english, that facilitate the transition of students into college life and help retain them in college. Missouri Western State College (MWSC) is one such open access institution which offers COL 101: Freshman Seminar courses and believes in learning communities, and freshman interest groups (FIG). A FIG is a group of 20-22 MWSC freshmen who enroll in the same cluster of classes during their freshman year on campus. Each FIG creates a supportive and friendly learning community which facilitates the freshman year experience at Missouri Western. This paper describes the impact of student success programs at Missouri Western in retention of engineering technology students, and the impact of teaching a section of COL 101 course. Some statistics are cited that point to success in strategies in retention of ET students at Missouri Western State College.
Final overall survival (OS) results of the phase III PROCLAIM trial: Pemetrexed (Pem), cisplatin (Cis) or etoposide (Eto), Cis plus thoracic radiation therapy (TRT) followed by consolidation cytotoxic chemotherapy (CTX) in locally advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (nsNSCLC).

7506 Background: Efficacy and safety of concurrent Pem+Cis and TRT followed by consolidation Pem vs other CTX regimens were evaluated; interim safety results (concurrent phase) were presented previously (Vokes et al. 2013). Methods: Five hundred and ninety-eight patients (pts) with stage III unresectable nsNSCLC were randomized 1:1 to Pem+Cis (Pem 500 mg/m2+Cis 75 mg/m2, intravenously, plus vitamins) plus concurrent TRT (66.0 Gy) every 21 days (q21d) x 3 cycles followed by Pem consolidation q21d x 4 cycles vs the control arm Eto+Cis (Eto 50 mg/m2+Cis 50 mg/m2, intravenously) plus concurrent TRT (66.0 Gy) q28d x 2 cycles followed by 2 cycles of a consolidation CTX of choice: Cis+Eto, Cis+vinorelbine, or paclitaxel+carboplatin. The primary objective was OS. Progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety were key secondary objectives. This superiority trial was designed to achieve 80% power, assuming an OS HR of 0.74 with 355 events at 0.05 α (two-sided) using a log-rank test. Res.
Hepatitis C Virus Drugs Simeprevir and Grazoprevir Synergize with Remdesivir to Suppress SARS-CoV-2 Replication in Cell Culture

Effective control of COVID-19 requires antivirals directed against SARS-CoV-2 virus. Here we assess ten available HCV protease inhibitor drugs as potential SARS-CoV-2 antivirals. There is a striking structural similarity of the substrate binding clefts of SARS- CoV-2 Mpro and HCV NS3/4A proteases, and virtual docking experiments show that all ten HCV drugs can potentially bind into the Mpro binding cleft. Seven of these HCV drugs inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Mpro protease activity, while four dock well into the PLpro substrate binding cleft and inhibit PLpro protease activity. These same seven HCV drugs inhibit SARS-CoV-2 virus replication in Vero and/or human cells, demonstrating that HCV drugs that inhibit Mpro, or both Mpro and PLpro, suppress virus replication. Two HCV drugs, simeprevir and grazoprevir synergize with the viral polymerase inhibitor remdesivir to inhibit virus replication, thereby increasing remdesivir inhibitory activity as much as 10-fold. Highlights Several HCV protease inhibitors are predicted to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and PLpro. Seven HCV drugs inhibit Mpro enzyme activity, four HCV drugs inhibit PLpro. Seven HCV drugs inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in Vero and/or human cells. HCV drugs simeprevir and grazoprevir synergize with remdesivir to inhibit SARS- CoV-2. eTOC blurb Bafna, White and colleagues report that several available hepatitis C virus drugs inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 Mpro and/or PLpro proteases and SARS-CoV-2 replication in cell culture. Two drugs, simeprevir and grazoprevir, synergize with the viral polymerase inhibitor remdesivir to inhibit virus replication, increasing remdesivir antiviral activity as much as 10-fold.
Comparison of direct and precipitation methods for the estimation of major serum lipoproteins

Background: There is increase in use of direct assays for analysis of high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol by clinical laboratories despite differences in performance characteristics with conventional precipitation methods. Calculation of low density lipoprotein cholesterol in precipitation methods is based on total cholesterol, triglycerides and high density lipoproteins, thus may cumulatively carry errors of individual methods. Adoption of direct assays is expected to decrease turnaround time and save on cost. Objectives: To compare direct and precipitation methods for estimation of major serum lipoproteins. Design: Cross sectional study. Setting: Clinical Chemistry Laboratory, Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya. Subjects: Three hundred and eighty four (384) participants were recruited for the study. Results: There was no significant difference in high density lipoprotein cholesterol estimated by direct and precipitation methods p=0.091 as well as low density lipoprotein cholesterol estimated by direct method and Friedwald’s formulae p=0.093. Conclusion: Both direct and precipitation methods give similar results. Selection should be based solely on workload, availability and technical expertise.
Factors Related to Medication Adherence in Schizophrenia in an Outpatient Setting A Cross Sectional Study Conducted in Bandung West Java Indonesia

Background : Medication adherence is important to help prevent relapse for patients with schizophrenia who need long term care. Purpose : To determine factors related to medication adherence among patients with schizophrenia in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Method : A cross-sectional study was conducted at the outpatient department of the West Java Province Mental Hospital in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Individuals were assessed using the Bahasa versions of Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS), Liverpool University Neuroleptic Side-Effect Rating Scale (LUNSERS), and Symptom Severity Scale of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder 5 th edition (SS-DSM5) instruments. Bivariate analysis was applied to determine the factors related to medication adherence. Result : A total of 88 patients with schizophrenia were enrolled. The prevalence of medication adherence was 64.8%. By using Chi-square test, the results revealed that factors significantly associated with medication adherence were medication side effects (χ 2 = 8.417, p < .01), and severity of symptoms (χ 2 = 5.771, p < .05). Conclusion : The health care providers should provide clear information to patients and caregivers regarding common side effects of antipsychotics. Enhance the ability of caregivers to identify symptoms of schizophrenia in order to improve patients’ health status and reduce relapse .
