Is there race/color differential on femicide in Brazil? The inequality of mortality rates for violent causes among white and black women
Authors: Francisco Giani Monteiro Mario , Aparecida Ferreira Romio Jackeline , Drezett Jefferson
Published: August 2021

Introduction: Femicide is considered the extreme expression of gender violence. The Brazilian scenario points to a complex public health problem, with evidence of a more severe social phenomenon for black women.
Objective: To compare mortality rates due to violent causes in white and black women.
Methods: Ecological study of temporal series with secondary data obtained from the Mortality Information System of DATASUS. We estimated the mortality rate from 2016-2018 about suicides, aggressions, and undetermined death by violence in the range of ages 15-29 and 30-59 years among white and non-white women. Femicide cases were compared using firearms or other means. Statistical analysis employed the chi-square test, with a significance level of p<0.05, Confidence Interval of 95%. According to resolution 510/2016 of the National Health Council, the study is exempted from Research Ethics Committee´s evaluation.
Results: Between 15 and 29 years, the mortality rate due to aggression was higher for black, 10.5/100,000, than for white women, 4.9/100,000. The same occurred between 30 and 59 years, with 12.5/100,000 deaths among black and 5.9/100,000 deaths among white women. Suicide rates were lower for black than for white women aged 15 to 29 years (1.2/100,000 versus 2.8/100,000) and between 30-59 years (2.0/100,000 versus 5.2/100,000). Among non-white women, the use of firearms was higher and, among white women, hanging was used the most.
Conclusion: Violent deaths of women by aggression affect more forcefully Brazilian black women, regardless of age. Firearms remain the aggressor's main resource for practicing femicide, especially against non-white women.
The effect of negationism on public health
Authors: E. Valenti Vitor , Patricio da Silva Alan
Published: August 2021

Negacionism refers to the choice to deny a scientifically proven reality, which can reduce life expectancy and quality of life. Within this context, the uncontrolled trajectory of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brazil has generated great concern due to the lack of consensus on how to manage the pandemic in a scenario of denial of the seriousness of the disease by the government, since on August 2nd, 2021, there are 556,437 Brazilians killed due to the disease. The denial of COVID-19 and the immunizing agent is another pandemic and turns the current scenario into a syndemic.

VACCINE DEVELOPMENT- A COMPLEX SCIENCE
Authors: Afifa Ansari  , Ayush Madan  , Divya Prakash
Published: August 2021

Several human vaccinations were created at the end of the nineteenth century, Smallpox, rabies, plague, cholera, and typhoid vaccinations are among them. Major things to acknowledge before vaccine preparation is that we have to isolate the antibody firstly which our body has produced against the pathogen and what is the composition of that antibody and also the structure of an antibody. A vaccine is administered to induce immunity in an individual’s body. Typically, the manufacture of vaccine uses viral or bacterial antigen in it. It may be killed or attenuated vaccine (live but less virulent). The foremost step to produce a vaccine is to select the strains for the vaccine and to culture the strain or microorganism. These two steps are collectively known as the upstream process. This is further followed by isolation and purification of the microorganism and then after the inactivation of the organism which is used for vaccine preparation formulation of vaccine begins. The last step is to check quality control and then further lot release; all of these steps are included in downstream processing. Mostly used vaccines lack efficiency, potency and safety. To take the vaccine preparation to next level, the introduction of monoclonal antibodies, recombinant DNA, and protein engineering have been accelerated knowledge of pathogenic mechanisms. This review provides a new approach to the development of the succeeding generation of vaccines.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos da irrigação localizada sobre os atributos físicos e hídricos de um Argissolo cultivado com pessegueiro. O experimento foi instalado em um pomar com quatro anos, em parcelas com e sem irrigação, onde foram coletadas amostras de solo em duas camadas (0,00 a 0,05 m e 0,10 a 0,15 m), nas posições de entrelinhas no rodado e entre o rodado das máquinas, e na linha entre e sob a copa das plantas.  Amostras de solo com estrutura preservada foram coletadas para avaliação da densidade, porosidade, diâmetro de agregados, condutividade hidráulica e retenção de água. Observou-se que a irrigação localizada não influenciou os atributos físicos e hídricos do solo. Porém, as posições na linha e copa apresentaram maior macroporosidade e condutividade hidráulica, e menor densidade do solo, possivelmente pela construção do camalhão na linha de plantio e por não haver trânsito de máquinas nessas posições. O trânsito de máquinas fez aumentar a densidade do solo nas entrelinhas, ocorrendo diminuição da macroporosidade, particularmente, na camada superficial na posição do rodado. O volume de água disponível foi pouco sensível em identificar diferenças em relação aos efeitos da irrigação, camada de solo e posição no pomar e das variáveis relacionadas à estrutura do solo.
Global Variation in the Recommended Age for Influenza Vaccination in Children
Authors: Seki Masafumi
Published: August 2021

Influenza vaccination is critical to prevent severe influenza in children, especially for whom with high risks and underlying diseases. However, vaccination schedule is not standardized, and different in each country/region. In Japan, vaccination is available for children aged 6 months and older and is recommended from the age of 1 year. In the United States, routine annual influenza vaccination for all children aged 6 months and older are recommended. In the United Kingdom, routine influenza vaccination has been recommended for children after the age of 2 to 3 years, and typically administered as a single dose of live intranasal vaccine. Many countries and regions considered the high-risk groups and recommended the once, but twice shot with the appropriate interval are recommended.

This research forecasted the incidence rate per 100,000 elderly population with food poisoning, pneumonia, and fever of unknown origin in Khon Kaen Province and Roi Et Province in the northeastern part of Thailand. In the study, the time series forecasting with Box-Jenkins Method (SARIMA model) and Box-Jenkins Method with climate variables, i.e total monthly rainfall, maximum average monthly temperature, average relative humidity, minimum average monthly temperature and average temperature (SARIMAX model) was performed. The study results revealed that the forecasting accuracy was closely similar to the model without the climate variables in the combined analysis although such climate variables had relationship with the incidence rate per 100,000 elderly population with food poisoning, pneumonia, and fever of unknown origin. Therefore, the appropriate model should be the SARIMA model because it is easier for analysis but with higher forecasting accuracy than the SARIMAX model.

Enhancing Phrasal Verb Learning: A Quasi-experimental Study of Different Approaches
Authors: Birdsell Brian
Published: August 2021

Phrasal verbs (PVs) are notoriously difficult for language learners since they are numerous in number, highly polysemous, as well as metaphorical, and the meaning is often opaque. Over the past two decades, researchers have shown the benefits of using a cognitive linguistic approach to teaching them. Expanding this line of research, a quasi-experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of an embodied approach to teaching phrasal verbs. An embodied learning approach focuses on movement, gesture, and enactment as a way to facilitate language learning. Student participants (N = 80) were divided into 3 groups; an L1 translation approach group, a cognitive approach group, and an embodied learning approach group. They took pre- and post-PV tests and learned 29 PVs in 2 teaching interventions. All students significantly improved their scores, but those in the cognitive and embodied learning groups significantly outperformed the L1 translation group.

句動詞（phrasal verbs）は、数が多く、多義性が高く、比喩的であり、意味が不透明であることが多いため、英語学習者にとって難しいことでよく知られている。過去数十年の研究で、句動詞教育には認知言語学的アプローチが有効であることが示されたが。本研究はそれを発展させつつ、からだで学ぶアプローチ（身体運動、ジェスチャー、実演を用いた学習促進法）の効果を検証するための準実験的研究を行った。本研究では学生参加者(N=80)を、第一言語への翻訳アプローチ、認知的アプローチ 、からだで学ぶアプローチの3つのグループに分けた。学生参加者たちは、事前及び事後に句動詞テストを受け、2回の教育的介在において29個の句動詞を学習した。結果は、すべての学生がスコアを大きく伸ばしたが、なかでも認知的学習グループとからだで学ぶグループの学生たちは、第一言語への翻訳グループを大きく上回る学習成果を示したことを本研究で明らかにした。
Free Conversation: A Legitimate Use of Class Time?
Authors: Campbell-Larsen John
Published: August 2021

The notion that interactional competence in the L2 emerges naturally once sufficient lexical/grammatical knowledge is in place was disputed by Widdowson (1978), but this notion may still underlie some attitudes toward language learning in an institutional context. In this paper, I describe some central features of the genre of conversation and contrast these with the traditional interactional structures found in Japanese university classrooms. I suggest that the ability of learners to interact in the L2 requires both extensive opportunities for learners to engage in non-directed, phatic interactions supported by the teaching of interactional language skills. The approach may be initially challenging and confusing for learners, but over time, students align with the approach and interaction becomes smoother and more natural.

第二言語習得において、正確で高度な語彙と文法の知識が習得されれば相互行為能力は自然と身に付くものだと信じられてきた。Widdowson (1978)により批判に晒された現在でも、この根拠のない神話は未だに現場に浸透し、言語学習の姿勢形成に影響力を行使している感が否めない。本稿では、実際の学生の会話において話題・ジャンルの主要な特徴を記述し、日本の大学において元来の教授法で実施されている会話と比較した。。第二言語によるやりとりに必要とされる要素は、教師にお膳立てされることなく交感的なやりとりに参与する豊富な機会と、明確な相互行為能力指導の二点である。当初はこの新しいアプローチに困惑する学習者を生む場合もあるが、継続することで学生も徐々に適応し、第二言語によるやりとりを元来の教授法ではたどり着けないスムーズなものに変容させることができると考えられる。
Gaze-angle dependency of pupil-size measurements in head-mounted eye tracking
Authors: Petersch Bernhard , Dierkes Kai
Published: August 2021

Pupillometry - the study of temporal changes in pupil diameter as a function of external light stimuli or cognitive processing - requires the accurate and gaze-angle independent measurement of pupil dilation. Expected response amplitudes often are only a few percent relative to a pre-stimulus baseline, thus demanding for sub-millimeter accuracy. Video-based approaches to pupil-size measurement aim at inferring pupil dilation from eye images alone. Eyeball rotation in relation to the recording camera as well as optical effects due to refraction at corneal interfaces can, however, induce so-called pupil foreshortening errors (PFE), i.e. systematic gaze-angle dependent changes of apparent pupil size that are on a par with typical response amplitudes. While PFE and options for its correction have been discussed for remote eye trackers, for head-mounted eye trackers such an assessment is still lacking. In this work, we therefore gauge the extent of PFE in three measurement techniques, all based on eye images recorded with a single near-eye camera. We present both real world experimental data as well as results obtained on synthetically generated eye images. We discuss PFE effects at three different levels of data aggregation: the sample, subject, and population level. In particular, we show that a recently proposed refraction-aware approach employing a mathematical 3D eye model is successful in providing pupil-size measurements which are gaze-angle independent at the population level.

A Review on Using ANOVA and RSM Modelling in The Glass Powder Replacement of The Concrete Ingredients
Authors: Neamat Sevar , Hassan Masoud
Published: August 2021

The flat glass powder usage instead of sand is convenient in structurally serviceable and environmentally compatible concrete. The deposits of glass powder in fibres cement compounds manufacture may add significant technical, economic and environmental necessities. The cement material and cement replacement by glass powder is chosen as parameters of the concrete. When the waste glass is fined to very fine dust, it demonstrates a cementitious characteristic due to silica content. Statistical methods and techniques are heavily used in glass powder replacement. In this paper, fifteen papers are reviewed and investigated to check the availability of using the statistical and modelling system in discussing the glass powder replacement with some other ingredients results between 2012-2021. We found that most of the papers depended on the ANOVA test to perform their work. Moreover, central composite face-centred (CFC) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) took a part in the studies. From the numerous replicas, a quadratic prototypical was supplied with waste glass powder in the numbers of the studies that the glass waste powder is the best with its characteristics.

Galactic sites of acceleration of cosmic rays to energies of order 1015 eV and higher, dubbed PeVatrons, reveal themselves by recently discovered gamma radiation of energies above 100 TeV. However, joint gamma-ray and neutrino production, which marks unambiguously cosmic-ray interactions with ambient matter and radiation, was not observed until now. In 2020 November, the IceCube neutrino observatory reported an ∼150 TeV neutrino event from the direction of one of the most promising Galactic PeVatrons, the Cygnus Cocoon. Here we report on the observation of a 3.1σ (post-trial) excess of atmospheric air showers from the same direction, observed by the Carpet–2 experiment and consistent with a few months flare in photons above 300 TeV, in temporal coincidence with the neutrino event. The fluence of the gamma-ray flare is of the same order as that expected from the neutrino observation, assuming the standard mechanism of neutrino production. This is the first evidence for the joint production of high-energy neutrinos and gamma-rays in a Galactic source.

Published: August 2021

Solar Cycle 25 started in 2019 December. Different predictions for its amplitude have been published so far without general consensus. We compared the evolution of Solar Cycle 25, using the first available values of the smoothed sunspot number, with past solar cycles. Our analysis shows that Solar Cycle 25 is very similar to Solar Cycles 24 and 7. Therefore, the maximum amplitude for this Solar Cycle 25 could be small-moderate.

Tidal Evolution of the Earth–Moon System with a High Initial Obliquity
Authors: Ćuk Matija , Lock Simon J. , Stewart Sarah T. , Hamilton Douglas P.
Published: August 2021

A giant-impact origin for the Moon is generally accepted, but many aspects of lunar formation remain poorly understood and debated. Ćuk et al. proposed that an impact that left the Earth–Moon system with high obliquity and angular momentum could explain the Moon’s orbital inclination and isotopic similarity to Earth. In this scenario, instability during the Laplace Plane transition, when the Moon’s orbit transitions from the gravitational influence of Earth’s figure to that of the Sun, would both lower the system’s angular momentum to its present-day value and generate the Moon’s orbital inclination. Recently, Tian & Wisdom discovered new dynamical constraints on the Laplace Plane transition and concluded that the Earth–Moon system could not have evolved from an initial state with high obliquity. Here we demonstrate that the Earth–Moon system with an initially high obliquity can evolve into the present state, and we identify a spin–orbit secular resonance as a key dynamical mechanism in the later stages of the Laplace Plane transition. Some of the simulations by Tian & Wisdom did not encounter this late secular resonance, as their model suppressed obliquity tides and the resulting inclination damping. Our results demonstrate that a giant impact that left Earth with high angular momentum and high obliquity (θ > 61°) is a promising scenario for explaining many properties of the Earth–Moon system, including its angular momentum and obliquity, the geochemistry of Earth and the Moon, and the lunar inclination.
Lurking in the depth: Pond depth predicts microhabitat selection by Rhinella icterica (Anura: Bufonidae) tadpoles at two different sampling scales

Published: August 2021

Habitat selection has long been a central theme in ecology and has historically considered both physiological responses and ecological factors affecting species establishment. Investigating habitat selection patterns at different scales can provide important information on the relative roles of the environmental factors influencing the organisms’ abilities to use their surrounding habitat. This work aimed at investigating which environmental factors determine habitat selection by Rhinella icterica tadpoles, and also took the opportunity to investigate how the scale in which tadpoles and environmental data are sampled might influence the habitat selection results. A total of 2.240 tadpoles were counted in the whole sampling area, and while substrate cover and depth were the variables that better explained the abundance of tadpoles at the larger scale (plot level), depth and water turbidity better explained tadpoles’ abundance at the smaller scale (subplot level). The results suggest that avoiding predation by matching the background color is a likely process explaining tadpoles’ occupancy at both scales. Depth is known to influence tadpole habitat use in the tropics, and although its combination with turbidity and substrate cover varied between scales, our study suggests that sampling at different scales might not affect the inferred ecological processes driving habitat selection. This information might also be useful to predict tadpoles’ responses to micro-environmental perturbations and help in guiding the choice of parameters that should be taken into account when analyzing the effects of habitat degradation in Atlantic Forest amphibian populations.
Recent solubility and dissolution enhancement techniques for repaglinide a BCS class II drug: a review
Authors: Albetawi Saba , Abdalhafez Amer , Abu-Zaid Ala , Matrouk Aseel , Alhourani Noor
Published: August 2021

Repaglinide is an oral blood-glucose-lowering drug used to manage type-2 diabetes mellitus by lowering post-prandial glucose by stimulating insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells.

According to the biopharmaceutical classification system, repaglinide falls under the class II category. For such drugs, limited solubility and poor dissolution rate are the major hurdles to overcome by formulation scientists, as they hinder drug absorption and lead to inadequate therapeutic effects.

Therefore, this review aims to discuss in depth the various approaches investigated in the past five years to improve the solubility and dissolution of orally administered repaglinide: namely, solid dispersion, co-amorphous technology, cyclodextrin complexation, phospholipid complexes and polymeric micelles, nanocrystals, nanosuspensions and nanofibers.
Enseigner le droit à l’Université populaire lyonnaise, entre activité doctrinale et engagement politique (1899-1903)
Authors: Henning Jérôme
Published: August 2021

Durant la décennie 1900, une expérience d’enseignement populaire du droit est tentée à Lyon. Au sein de l’Université populaire, des professeurs de la Faculté de droit et des avocats ambitionnent de mettre l’enseignement juridique à disposition de l’ensemble des Lyonnais. En réaction au contexte de l’affaire Dreyfus, l’Université populaire crée un lieu de dialogue entre une élite professorale et un public profane en questionnant la nature de la justice, du droit social et du droit constitutionnel en République. En rupture avec les traditions des Facultés de droit, l’Université populaire tente des enseignements modernes du droit tout en réceptionnant les dernières innovations doctrinales et une forme d’engagement politique. Mais, derrière la promesse pédagogique, l’Université populaire permet surtout à ses acteurs de construire des réseaux de sociabilité au service d’une certaine conception du juriste en société.

The EU-China Investment Agreement (CAI): The Opportunity for China to Snatch the European Union from the United States
Authors: Famigli Giacomo
Published: August 2021

Entre 2009 et 2019, les chiffres de l’Union européenne révèlent un doublement du volume des échanges entre l’UE et les États-Unis, tant pour les importations que pour les exportations. Pour la même période, le commerce européen avec la Chine a connu une augmentation plus exponentielle, doublant le nombre d’importations et triplant presque les exportations. Les tarifs douaniers introduits en 2018 par le Président Donald Trump n’ont pas vraiment entravé la croissance du volume des échanges entre les deux acteurs, mais ils ont certainement envenimé les relations entre les deux pays, créant l’occasion de rechercher d’autres partenaires commerciaux. En fait, le nouveau président élu Biden a récemment signé un arrêt temporaire des droits de douane afin de réparer la confiance perdue. Toutefois, si l’établissement d’un nouvel accord commercial prend du temps, la Chine est déjà en train de signer l’Accord Global UE-Chine sur les Investissements (AGI). Cet accord porte sur des secteurs économiques majeurs tels que l’industrie manufacturière et le secteur automobile, lesquels représentent 91 % des importations de l’UE en provenance de la Chine et 73 % de ses exportations. L’AGI constitue donc une bonne base pour de futurs partenariats et à l’ouverture du commerce à d’autres catégories de produits, ce qui pourrait entraîner une augmentation des importations et des exportations dans les années à venir. Entre-temps, les États-Unis se découplent économiquement de la Chine. Dans ce contexte, l’UE devra faire un choix dans les années à venir, très probablement un choix politique.
Impact des outils de communication B to B sur le capital-marque industrielle dans un contexte subsaharien
Authors: Kuete Collins
Published: August 2021

Aujourd’hui, les interrogations sur la contribution des actions marketing sur la valorisation de la marque industrielle sont d’actualité quel que soit le contexte. Dans un contexte de l’Afrique subsaharienne, une étude menée auprès d’un échantillon de 69 entreprises camerounaises a permis de relever un certain nombre de constats. D’abord, les produits de l’entreprise avec une marque industrielle offrent de la valeur ajoutée aux yeux de ses clients et fournisseurs. Ensuite, malgré le fait que la communication soit le programme d’action marketing privilégié pour capitaliser la valeur de la marque industrielle auprès des publics cibles, l’usage des outils de communication spécifiques en B to B reste encore faible au détriment de la force de vente et des outils traditionnels de communication. Enfin, une analyse multi-variée explicative (MANOVA) a permis de constater que le choix des outils de communication influence significativement l’image, la notoriété et la qualité perçue de la marque industrielle, mais a un effet non significatif sur la fidélité à la marque industrielle.
Le faible soutien social des supérieurs hiérarchiques : un élément perturbateur du contrat psychologique relationnel des salariés opérationnels du secteur médico-social
Authors: Saboune Khaled
Published: August 2021

Cette recherche s’appuie sur un gap théorique centré sur le soutien social des supérieurs hiérarchiques et le phénomène de perturbation négative du contrat psychologique (CP), amenant à une phase obligatoire de réparation de ce dernier. Il s’agit précisément de comprendre comment le faible soutien social des supérieurs hiérarchiques contribue à la compréhension de la perturbation négative du CP relationnel des salariés opérationnels du secteur médico-social. La méthodologie de recherche se base sur 53 entretiens semi-directifs réalisés dans trois établissements médico-sociaux et un focus group avec 22 managers de ce secteur. L’analyse des résultats montre que le faible soutien social des supérieurs hiérarchiques constitue un élément perturbateur du CP et identifie des facteurs explicatifs des difficultés de ces derniers à soutenir leurs collaborateurs. La discussion des résultats porte principalement sur la période post-perturbation négative du CP.
L’influence de la variété et des usages des dispositifs de contrôle dans le pilotage de la performance globale : le cas d’un incubateur de startups
Authors: Postaire Maxence , Alcouffe Simon , Boitier Marie
Published: August 2021

Les entreprises ont un rôle à jouer face aux défis environnementaux et sociaux contemporains et certaines font le choix d’intégrer le développement durable au cœur de leur stratégie. Cette intégration de multiples objectifs de performance induit le besoin de développer des outils de pilotage adaptés. Cet article étudie spécifiquement le rôle des dispositifs de contrôle dans le renouvellement et le déploiement de stratégies centrées sur la performance globale d’une organisation. À partir d’une recherche-action dans un incubateur de startups, les résultats montrent que la variété des dispositifs de contrôle, leurs usages et le type de performance visée sont trois dimensions primordiales dans le processus d’intégration des objectifs de développement durable dans la stratégie organisationnelle et la performance globale.
Hobbes et Bentham, deux lectures politiques de saint Paul
Authors: Cléro Jean-Pierre
Published: August 2021

Si Bentham s’oppose explicitement plus souvent à Hobbes qu’il ne lui donne raison, la dette qu’il contracte à son égard est beaucoup plus étendue qu’il ne le laisse paraître. Sans doute le primat des affaires civiles sur les affaires religieuses est incontestable chez les deux auteurs. Toutefois, si les ouvrages de Hobbes sont directement en prise sur la guerre civile qui sévit en Angleterre, l’œuvre de Bentham affronte un autre problème : est-il possible de rendre le christianisme compatible avec l’utilitarisme ? Malgré ces différences importantes, l’articulation du religieux et du politique repose étonnamment, chez l’un comme chez l’autre, sur la théorie des fictions, entendue plutôt comme dépendante de l’imagination chez Hobbes, et du langage chez Bentham, mais dans les deux cas comme technique pour problématiser les inversions que permet la distinction de ce qui doit être pris tantôt comme entité réelle, tantôt comme entité fictive.
The Mental Health Clinician's Role in Advocacy for Survivors of Human Trafficking: Treatment and Management
Authors: Iqbal Syed Z. , Salami Temilola , Reissinger Mary C. , Masood Mohammad Hadi , Ukrani Kanta , Shah Asim A.
Published: August 2021

Human trafficking (HT) affects a large number of populations worldwide, including men, women, and children. The traffickers exploit the vulnerability of the victims, including their poor socioeconomic status, political instabilities in their countries, and existing mental illness. They use fraud and coercion to involve these victims in forced labor or commercial sex. The victims encounter significant physical, emotional, and sexual trauma resulting in posttraumatic stress disorder along with depression, anxiety, and substance use disorder. Standard treatment protocols to manage the victims of HT do not exist. Trauma-informed care is key, as it provides the victims a sense of empowerment and safety while preventing retraumatization and enhancing treatment adherence. Mental health clinicians can play a significant role in providing services to the victims of HT. They can take the lead role in the integrated care model, which collaborates services with other stakeholders. They can also help provide training to other health care providers in identifying the victim, providing trauma-centered care, and establishing continuity of services.

Building a Bridge: A Review of Information Literacy in Nursing Education
Authors: Cantwell Laureen P. , McGowan Bethany S. , Planchon Wolf Julie , Slebodnik Maribeth , Conklin Jamie L. , McCarthy Sandy , Raszewski Rebecca
Published: August 2021

Background:

Although information literacy (IL) has been valuable in nursing education, guiding documents from librarianship (e.g., Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education) remain relatively obscure among nursing faculty. This review analyzes the intersection of IL with nursing and offers analyses for a better understanding of integrating IL into nursing education settings.

Method:

Scholarly literature was searched, and Covidence was used to track themes regarding how (and where) IL literature (
n
= 179) connects to nursing educational settings.

Results:

Librarians are not involved consistently within nursing education. Research and discussion on IL in nursing are published in librarianship, education, and health sciences literature, and the terminology does not always align across these disciplines.

Conclusion:

Findings indicate an opportunity for librarians to share the Framework and its connections to the research literature with the nursing community. Researchers share suggestions for how common themes, language, and ideas can be shared between librarians and nursing faculty.

Soft Skills Teaching by Top-Ranked U.S. Nursing Faculty
Authors: Bajjaly Stephen T. , Saunders Laura
Published: August 2021

Background:

Although prior studies demonstrate that “soft skills” are necessary for workplace success, few consider the emphasis faculty place on teaching soft skills. This study reports how top-ranked U.S. nursing faculty prepare students for success by incorporating soft skills training into their courses.

Method:

Data were collected with an online survey distributed in spring 2020 to approximately 2,000 faculty at 25 top-ranked nursing schools. Responses were solicited from those who have taught bachelor's and master's students within the past 2 years. Of 165 respondents who started the survey, 144 finished (7%).

Results:

Most nursing faculty view soft skills as important and feel at least some responsibility for teaching those skills.

Conclusion:

This study indicates that a majority of faculty are teaching a range of soft skills and that when they teach those skills, they are also likely to provide students with feedback.[J Nurs Educ. 2021;60(8):437–443.]
Nursing Students' Perceptions of Staff Nurse Instructors' Characteristics in a Dedicated Education Unit
Authors: Williams Jacqueline , Selig Cindy , Aufdenkamp Marilee , Young Christine , Hirsch Kathleen
Published: August 2021

Background:

The dedicated education unit is a model that has been used for clinical experiences in recent years. The importance of effective staff nurse instructors (SNIs) is paramount in nursing students' development of nursing skills and critical thinking. Purpose: This study examined nursing students' perceptions of positive and negative characteristics of SNIs.

Method:

During a 3-year period, an estimated 265 nursing students evaluated SNIs using an optional two question survey. Qualitative data were retrieved and reviewed by researchers to analyze common themes delineated by students.

Results:

Various themes were noted in which students identified exemplary SNI characteristics as well as barriers to learning.

Conclusion:

Data revealed positive and negative attributes that promoted student learning by the SNIs. Areas for improvement in training of the SNIs became evident through analyzing data, which can be used by clinical faculty to improve the experiences for both students and SNIs.
