Understanding the Obstacles and Influences in Adopting Infant Safe Sleep Practices
Authors: Jacobson Alison , Himes Barb
Published: January 2022

Background

About 3,500 infants die annually within their first year of life from Sudden Unexplained Infant Death (SUID) and its subset Sudden Infants Death Syndrome (SIDS), making it the single leading cause of infant mortality in the U.S. Evidence indicates adherence to infant Safe Sleep Guidelines developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) reduces these mortality rates. Still, since an initial decline following the 1994 guidelines introduction, SIDS rates have leveled, and SUID rates have increased. In addition, SUID rates per 100,000 live births are twice as high among Black and Native American infants than white. The AAP last updated the guidelines in 2016 and is scheduled to issue the next updated guidelines in late 2021.

Objective

To examine perceptions of the AAP guidelines held by parents and health care providers as they relate to guidelines comprehension and compliance, and to share this information with the AAP 2021 guidelines task force.

Methods

First Candle commissioned a qualitative research study in 2020, consisting of three online focus groups in three different states to identify perceptions and potential barriers to guidelines adoption by family members and providers, the outcomes of which were shared with the AAP for review as its guidelines task force develops the updated version to be released in 2021.

Results

Regarding how the AAP guidelines were viewed, there were responses across geographic and sociocultural variation regarding varying levels of general comprehension and trust in them, depending on the resource and acceptance of the language used. Additional factors were the emotional and practical realities of parenting, cultural and family traditions, and the belief that parental volition in decision-making is important.

Conclusion

Evidence-based protocols regarding infant safe sleep practices and their impact on reducing infant mortality rates may have proven value. Still, professional caregivers and family members feel that more cultural context and personal relevance are needed in presentation and communication if families are to trust and consider them for adoption and compliance.

The efficacy of a homoeopathic complex (Chamomilla, Belladona and Scutellaria Lateriflora) in the treatment of problematic primary dental eruption
Authors:   , Lever Yvette
Published: January 2022

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a Homoeopathic complex (ChamomilIa 30 CH, Belladonna 30 CH and Scutellaria Lateriflora D6) in the treatment of problematic primary dental eruption. The study was a double blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical investigation. The thirty patients involved were between seven and thirty four months of age, and were all in the process of erupting a tooth, or teeth, during the study. The criteria for the study required that the patient be experiencing signs and symptoms relating to problematic dental eruption. These included the general symptoms of irritability and sleep disturbances, and the local signs and symptoms of painfully inflamed gums. The efficacy of the treatment was measured by using a questionnaire before and after the treatment. The follow-up consultation was conducted two to three days after the initial consultation due to the acute nature of the condition. The statistical tests used were non-parametric due to the small sample size. The Mann- Whitney test was used to compare the experiment and the control group
The effect of intermittent, mechanical cervical traction in the chiropractic management of mechanical neck pain
Authors:   , Wood Roger Simon
Published: January 2022

Mechanical neck pain is an extremely common condition. At any specific time, as many as 12% of the adult female population and 9% of the adult male population experience pain in the neck, with or without associated arm pain, and 35% of people can recall an episode of previous neck pain (Bland 1994:3). However, to date little research has been conducted to investigate which treatment protocolIs may be the most effective in the management of mechanical neck pain syndromes. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the combination of chiropractic manipulative therapy and intermittent, mechanical cervical traction would be more effective in the treatment of mechanical neck pain than chiropractic manipulative therapy alone. It was hypothesized that chiropractic cervical manipulative therapy and the combination of chiropractic cervical manipulative therapy and intermittent, mechanical cervical traction would both be effective in the treatment of mechanical neck pain. Moreover, with reference to objective and subjective clinical findings, it was hypothesized that the combination of chiropractic cervical manipulative therapy and intermittent, mechanical cervical traction would be more effective in the treatment of mechanical neck pain than chiropracic manipulative therapy alone.
A controlled in vitro study of the effectiveness of Withania somnifera herbal tincture and homoeopathic dilution (1X and 6X) against selected gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria
Authors:   , Dummer Karen Joanne
Published: January 2022

The aim of this study was to establish the efficacy of Withania somnifera in tincture, 1X and 6X homoeopathic dilutions (in 62% v/v ethanol) as an antimicrobial agent against the in vitro growth of Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as compared to 62% v/v ethanol only. The disc diffusion method was employed. W somnifera is indigenous to southern Africa and its use is well established amongst the traditional healers for many varied complaints. Infusions, decoctions and tinctures of the fresh and dry whole root are used. (Gericke and Van Wyk, 2000:150.) For this study 20 plates of Mueller-Hinton agar were inoculated with each bacteria, resulting in a total of 100 plates. Four dry discs previously impregnated with the test substances and two antibiotic discs were equidistantly placed on each plate and incubated at 3rC. The vancomycin and gentamycin discs were included to account for plate-to-plate variations in the sensitivity of the bacteria to the antimicrobial substances. The plates were observed at 18, 24 and 48-hour intervals. ' Statistical analysis was performed using the Friedman test to compare test and control substances at each observation interval. The Mann-Whitney-U test was used to compare the mean inhibition zones between test and control substances
The perceptions and awareness of homoeopathy and the Homoeopathic Day Clinic (H.D.C) amongst students at the Durban University of Technology (DUT)
Authors:   , Macquet Thomas
Published: January 2022

Tertiary education students are present and future health care consumers, and as such it is important that they are well educated in both mainstream and complementary health practices. Prior to this study, no data was available on the perceptions of tertiary education students towards homoeopathy in South Africa. The aim of this study was to bridge this gap in the database of knowledge by determining the perceptions and awareness that students at Durban University of Technology (D.U.T.) have towards homoeopathy and the Homoeopathic Day Clinic (H.D.C.) that exists on the D.U.T. campus. This survey-based study was conducted by administering 1080 questionnaires to fulltime registered students at D.U.T. who were in at least their second year of study at the university. A stratified random sample method was employed, based on the demographic variables of faculty, gender and race so as to generate a suitably representative sample. Of the 1080 questionnaires distributed, 1054 (97.6%) were returned and 1005 (93%) met the inclusion criteria to be used in the final sample. The responses showed that the students at D.U.T. have a fairly poor level of knowledge about homoeopathy. Only 48% of them had ever heard of homoeopathy and around 95% said that they had either never heard of it, had heard only of the name, or said they knew a little bit about it. In terms of practical experience with homoeopathy, only 6% have ever consulted a homoeopath personally before, and 9% said that they have family members who have

Published: January 2022

El desarrollo tecnológico en el ámbito mediático ocurrido en las últimas décadas, ha modificado todas las esferas de la sociedad y la forma en que los individuos se desempeñan en su vida cotidiana, sobre todo la llamada generación Z. Varias investigaciones psicológicas, sociológicas y comunicacionales han estudiado estos nuevos desempeños sociales, existiendo diferencias y aspectos coincidentes entre ellas. Por esta razón, se realizó un estudio con estudiantes en dos centros educacionales de bachillerato, uno público y otro privado. La investigación tuvo como objetivo identificar los hábitos desarrollados como consecuencia del consumo de plataformas televisivas por streaming en los jóvenes de cada grupo en su interacción con los nuevos medios. Se realizó una investigación de campo, descriptiva, participativa, transversal, no experimental, cuantitativa y cualitativa. La muestra, equivalente al universo, estuvo integrada por los 52 estudiantes de bachillerato de la escuela privada y los 25 de la escuela pública, que integran el segundo año de ese nivel de enseñanza. Para la recogida de los datos de la investigación se aplicó una encuesta, cuyas preguntas estuvieron enfocadas a determinar el comportamiento de las variables relacionadas con el uso de los medios y los hábitos de consumo. El análisis y síntesis de los resultados permitió comprobar que, aunque existen algunas diferencias en los hábitos en cada grupo, dadas por las características socio económicas de las familias de los adolescentes, en general siguen los mismos comportamientos, propios de la generación a la que pertenecen.

Peculado y reparacion material en Ecuador
Authors: Villagómez Richard , Ponce Ana Lucía
Published: January 2022

El ciclo evolutivo de la noción y fundamento de la lesividad en el delito de peculado ha variado en el tiempo, considerándose incialmente que afectaba el erario público; luego, esto osciló hacia la fidelidad de cumplimiento de las funciones de los servidores públicos y dignatarios. Este trabajo buscó intergrar desde las perspectivas jurídica y administrativa una visión holística sobre el delito de peculado, el reproche, sus efectos nocivos y la dañosidad como fundamento sustancial de la reparación integral. Para este fin, a partir de la descripción típica se analizó la participación del intraneus y extranesus a partir de la condición de comunicabilidad impuesta por el artículo 233 de la Constitución de la República del Ecuador y la dañosidad de esta conducta que no siempre es patrimonial y se manifiesta en la afectación que representa sobre la planificación, el prespuesto institucional, el cumplimiento de sus fines y la realización de derechos de la población. La reparación material entonces resulta un punto controvertido a ser ser probada en juicio al igual que delito y responsabilidad. Luego, la efectividad de la ejecución de la reparación material y su intensidad ya sea aritmética o geométrica.
Why not join the Roman Catholic Church?
Authors: Van der Kooi Cornelis
Published: January 2022

The title of this contribution is purposefully ambivalent.  It can be read as a rhetorical question: when there are so many good reasons to join the church of Rome, why should Protestants refrain from taking this step? The most important historical reason for the Reformation was the state of the church: the authority of the office, and the episcopacy were spoiled by abuse of that power. The access to Christ and his grace were blocked. To what degree is this reproach still viable? In recent years, from a Reformed and evangelical perspective, there have been many changes in that Church that have caused a rapprochement, and that have prompted many Protestants to become Roman Catholic. However, the title can also be read differently: as an argumentation against joining the Roman Catholic Church.  Accordingly, this chapter will elaborate upon both possibilities and offer a number of remarks on the choice itself.

Published: January 2022

Background: Double burden of malnutrition reflects the co-existence of both under nutrition and obesity at individual, household or community levels. Aims: To assess the prevalence and determinants of overweight and obesity among in-school adolescents aged 15 years from Harare, Zimbabwe. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in two schools, involving 111 Form three learners. A structured interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data. Blood glucose and blood pressure levels were determined using a glucometer and sphygmomanometer. Anthropometry indicators were assessed using the WHO standard procedures. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Medical Research Council of Zimbabwe (MRCZ/B/1876). Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 5.4% and short stature (stunting) affected 13.5%. Majority (91.1%) of the learners had adequate nutrition knowledge score. In this study 9.9% learners were pre-diabetic and 51.4% had elevated blood pressure (BP). There was a significant association between overweight and obesity; and waist circumference (P<0.001). Among the learners that were overweight, 83.3% also had higher waist circumference. Conclusions: Overweight and obesity and short stature coexisted among adolescents in this setting, confirming presence of double burden of malnutrition. In addition, girls had central obesity thus at increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, at policy and pragmatic levels there is need for a multi-sectoral response to address malnutrition in all its forms in this age group.

Published: January 2022

The community's need for electricity is getting higher, so alternative energy sources such as solar heat are needed to replace energy sources from fossil fuels in meeting electricity needs. In this paper we design a two-axis solar tracker with an LDR sensor. A sun tracking system is a unit that is combined into one to control the position of the tracking device with the aim of making the surface of the solar panel module always facing the direction of sunlight. This research discusses the Prototype of the Sun Tracking System in Arduino Based Solar Power Generation Systems to get maximum solar energy. This system will make solar panels move automatically so that sunlight absorption can be maximized. The main control uses Arduino nano which gets input values ​​from the LDR sensor then is processed to the output system. With the control system method can automatically be seen the difference in the results of a fixed solar panel with a solar panel with a tracker, from the comparison we get a solar panel with a tracker to get more optimal results.

High-resolution biogenic global emission inventory for the time period 2000–2019 for air quality modelling
Authors: Sindelarova Katerina , Markova Jana , Simpson David , Huszar Peter , Karlicky Jan , Darras Sabine , Granier Claire
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted from the terrestrial vegetation into the Earth's atmosphere play an important role in
atmospheric chemical processes. Gridded information of their temporal and spatial distribution is therefore needed for proper representation of
the atmospheric composition by the air quality models. Here we present three newly developed high-resolution global emission inventories of the main
BVOC species including isoprene, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, methanol, acetone and ethene. Monthly mean and monthly averaged daily profile
emissions were calculated by the Model of Emission of Gases and Aerosols from Nature (MEGANv2.1) driven by meteorological reanalyses of the European
Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts for the period of 2000–2019. The dataset CAMS-GLOB-BIOv1.2 is based on ERA-Interim meteorology
(0.5∘ × 0.5∘ horizontal spatial resolution); the datasets CAMS-GLOB-BIOv3.0 and v3.1 were calculated with ERA5 (both
0.25∘ × 0.25∘ horizontal spatial resolution). Furthermore, European isoprene emission potential data were updated using
high-resolution land cover maps and detailed information of tree species composition and emission factors from the EMEP MSC-W model system. Updated
isoprene emissions are included in the CAMS-GLOB-BIOv3.1 dataset. The effect of annually changing land cover on BVOC emissions is captured by the
CAMS-GLOB-BIOv3.0 as it was calculated with land cover data provided by the Climate Change Initiative of the European Space Agency (ESA-CCI). The
global total annual BVOC emissions averaged over the simulated period vary between the datasets from 424 to 591 Tg (C) yr−1, with
isoprene emissions from 299.1 to 440.5 Tg (isoprene) yr−1. Differences between the datasets and variation in their emission estimates provide the emission uncertainty range and the main sources of uncertainty, i.e. meteorological inputs, emission potential data and land cover
description. The CAMS-GLOB-BIO time series of isoprene and monoterpenes were compared to other available data. There is a general agreement in an
interannual variability in the emission estimates, and the values fall within the uncertainty range. The CAMS-GLOB-BIO datasets (CAMS-GLOB-BIOv1.2,

Numerical modelling of the evolution of a river reach with a complex morphology to help define future sustainable restoration decisions
Authors: Yassine Rabab , Cassan Ludovic , Roux Hélène , Frysou Olivier , Pérès François
Published: January 2022

Abstract. The evolution of river morphology is very complicated to predict, especially in the case of mountain and Piedmont rivers with complex morphologies, steep slopes, and heterogeneous grain sizes such as the "Lac des Gaves" (LDG) reach, located within the Gave de Pau river in the Hautes-Pyrénées department, France, has precisely the complex morphological characteristics mentioned above. This reach has gone through severe sediment extractions for over 50 years, leading to the construction of two weirs for riverbed stabilisation. Two large floods resulted in changes in the LDG's hydromorphological characteristics as it went from a single channel river section to a braided river reach. In this study, a 2D hydromorphological model is developed with the TELEMAC-MASCARET system to reproduce the evolution of the channel following a flood that occurred in 2018. The model's validity is assessed by comparing the simulated topographic evolution to the observed one. The results reveal the challenge of choosing well-fitted sediment transport equations and friction laws that would make it possible to reproduce such complex morphology. Even if the exact localisation of the multiple channels forming the braided nature of the LDG was challenging to reproduce, our model could provide reliable volumetric predictions as it reproduces the filling of the LDG correctly. The influence of the two weirs on the river's current and future morphology is also studied. The aim is to provide decision-makers with more reliable predictions to design suitable restoration measures for the LDG reach.
Numerically consistent budgets of potential temperature, momentum, and moisture in Cartesian coordinates: application to the WRF model
Authors: Göbel Matthias , Serafin Stefano , Rotach Mathias W.
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Numerically accurate budgeting of the forcing terms in the governing equations of a numerical weather prediction model is hard to achieve. Because
individual budget terms are generally 2 to 3 orders of magnitude larger than the resulting tendency, exact closure of the budget can only be
achieved if the contributing terms are calculated consistently with the model numerics. We present WRFlux, an open-source software that allows precise budget evaluation for the WRF model and, in comparison to existing similar tools,
incorporates new capabilities. WRFlux transforms the budget equations from the terrain-following grid of the model to the Cartesian coordinate
system, permitting a simplified interpretation of budgets obtained from simulations over non-uniform orography. WRFlux also decomposes the resolved
advection into mean advective and resolved turbulence components, which is useful in the analysis of large-eddy simulation output. The theoretical
framework of the numerically consistent coordinate transformation is also applicable to other models. We demonstrate the performance and a possible
application of WRFlux with an idealized simulation of convective boundary layer growth over a mountain range. We illustrate the effect of
inconsistent approximations by comparing the results of WRFlux with budget calculations using a lower-order advection operator and two alternative
formulations of the coordinate transformation. With WRFlux, the sum of all forcing terms for potential temperature, water vapor mixing ratio, and
momentum agrees with the respective model tendencies to high precision. In contrast, the approximations lead to large residuals: the root mean
square error between the sum of the diagnosed forcing terms and the actual tendency is 1 to 3 orders of magnitude larger than with WRFlux.
Seamless streamflow model provides forecasts at all scales from daily to monthly and matches the performance of non-seamless monthly model
Authors: McInerney David , Thyer Mark , Kavetski Dmitri , Laugesen Richard , Woldemeskel Fitsum , Tuteja Narendra , Kuczera George
Published: January 2022

Abstract. Subseasonal streamflow forecasts inform a multitude of water management decisions, from early flood warning to reservoir operation. ‘Seamless’ forecasts, i.e., forecasts that are reliable over a range of lead times (1–30 days) and when aggregated to multiples time scales (e.g. daily and monthly) are of clear practical interest. However, existing forecasting products are often ‘non-seamless’, i.e., designed for a single time scale and lead time (e.g. 1 month ahead). If seamless forecasts are to be a viable replacement for existing ‘non-seamless’ forecasts, it is important that they offer (at least) similar predictive performance at the time scale of the non-seamless forecast. This study compares the recently developed seamless daily Multi-Temporal Hydrological Residual Error (MuTHRE) model to the (non-seamless) monthly streamflow post-processing (QPP) model that was used in the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s Dynamic Forecasting System. Streamflow forecasts from both models are generated for 11 Australian catchments, using the GR4J hydrological model and post-processed rainfall forecasts from the ACCESS-S climate model. Evaluating monthly forecasts with key performance metrics (reliability, sharpness, bias and CRPS skill score), we find that the seamless MuTHRE model provides essentially the same performance as the non-seamless monthly QPP model for the vast majority of metrics and temporal stratifications (months and years). When this outcome is combined with the numerous practical benefits of seamless forecasts it is clear that seamless forecasting technologies, such as the MuTHRE model, are not only viable, but a preferred choice for future research development and practical adoption of streamflow forecasting.
Northern Tornadoes Project. Annual Report 2021
Authors:   Western University, Sills David
Published: January 2022

The Northern Tornado Project’s third year of detecting, assessing and documenting tornadoes and other damaging wind events across Canada saw some interesting extremes – tornadoes in parts of both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts for the first time in decades, an apparent absence of tornadoes on the Prairies over the 60 days with the highest climatological frequency, a record number of significant (EF2+) tornadoes in Ontario, and massive downbursts in NE British Columbia, NW Alberta and SW Northwest Territories associated with an historic ‘heat dome’. On top of this, the COVID-19 pandemic was still spreading across the country in waves. Thankfully, it subsided enough over the summer that NTP teams were able to travel safely to various locations across the country for ground surveys. Some of the most challenging ground surveys investigated high-impact damage from the July 15th EF2 Barrie, Ontario tornado, and others significant tornadoes from that day.
أحاديثُ أحكام الدِّيانة المجوسيَّة في الكتب الستَّة جمعًا وتخريجًا
Authors: العطائي Faisal Ahmad Naji Al-atei
Published: January 2022

This study aims to collect and examine Prophetic traditions related to Mazdaism in the six canonical collections of ḥadīth. The Prophet (peace be on him) explained certain matters related to the previous religions, gave detailed rulings about them, and instructed Muslims how to deal with the followers of other religions. The scholars of ḥadīth sciences paid due attention to such ḥadīths and tried their best to distinguish the sound ḥadīth from those of weak and unauthentic ones. The present study defines the concept of Mazdaism, explains who are the followers of Mazdaism, and investigates the places where they lived in the era of the Prophet (peace be on him). Furthermore, it discusses the important issues and differences of scholars about whether Mazdaism is a revealed religion or based on some man-made rituals and doctrines. An inductive and analytical approach has been adopted to collect, study, elaborate, and arrange these traditions of the Prophet (peace be on him).

The paper is concerned with the following aspects: 1) the morphological and lexical-syntactic methods of word formation that help to verbalize the category of political correctness as an important component of a civilized society; 2) the stylistic potential of the affixation method of word-formation, through which the speakers create colloquialisms of pejorative or petty coloration; 3) the models of hybrid word formation with borrowed English components, coming to Japanese because of the understanding of the English element as something “fashionable” and “modern”; 4) the tendency of abbreviation of language units fulfilling the purpose of acceleration of the communication tempo.
QUALCHE OSSERVAZIONE SULLE PARTICELLE ITALIANE CI E VI E SULLE MODALITÀ DELLA LORO TRADUZIONE IN ROMENO
Authors: PÎRVU Elena
Published: January 2022

In Italian language, the atonic pronouns ci and vi are mainly personal pronouns or reflexive personal pronouns of the first and second persons of the plural, acting as a direct object or as an indirect object. Moreover, ci and, more seldom, vi, which is felt as a scholarly term, can be used as demonstrative pronouns or locative adverbs. They are also used with a reinforcing value in some set phrases.As Romanian language does not have atonic pronouns corresponding to the particles ci and vi acting as demonstrative pronouns or locative adverbs, we first present a synthesis of the characteristics and use of ci and vi in Italian and then we describe how they are translated into Romanian.

Authors: TURMYS Olha
Published: January 2022

The following article deals with the nature of language in the philosophical context. It identifies the way of transition from positive knowledge to deep comprehension of language in a broad theoretical and methodological context, by understanding language nature more widely – as spiritual energy and cognitive activity of a person. It was reviewed that many problems and topics previously considered as “extralinguistic” have come to be interpreted as “intralinguistic” in modern linguistics. The purpose of the article was to handle the contrast between language and philosophy, clarifying the relation between them, finding out what is the “starting point” of any knowledge: language as the formation material of the world or philosophy as the initial form of human mind. In the main material, the author tries to examine this problem by analysing different periods of philosophic thought and personalities of thinkers, their main differences in the attitude to the problem of language.

Authors: Pinto Pinto Igor Soares , Queirós Sílvia , Alves Paulo , Sousa Carvalho Tânia Manuel , Santos Célia , Brito Alice
Published: January 2022

Objectives: To identify nursing interventions, their characteristics, and outcomes for promoting self-care in candidates for a bowel elimination ostomy.

Materials and methods: A scoping review was carried out based on the Joanna Briggs Institute’s recommendations. For this, studies published in Portuguese, English, and Spanish on the Web of Science, CINAHL, and Scopus databases and without a time limit were selected on November 9, 2020.

Results: Of 2248 articles identified, 41 were included in this review. We identified 20 nursing interventions associated with the self-care of patients with an ostomy; most of them have gaps in their content, method, and frequency or dosing. More than 30 indicators were identified to assess the impact of nursing interventions; however, most of them were indirect assessments.

Conclusion: There is scarce evidence regarding the different aspects that must be involved in nursing interventions for patients with a stoma. Moreover, there is no standardization in methods, frequency, or dosing of intervention. It is urgent to define the content, method, and frequency of nursing interventions necessary to promote self-care in patients with a bowel elimination ostomy and to use assessment tools that directly measure stoma self-care competence.

Published: January 2022

Objective: To determine the coping and adaptive capabilities in patients with cancer undergoing treatment.

Methodology: This was a quantitative and descriptive cross-sectional study; the sample consisted of 100 patients with a cancer diagnosis who received chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy treatment between June and August 2019, meeting the inclusion criteria. The Coping and Adaptation Processing Scale (CAPS) was used.

Results: 53 % of the patients participating in the study presented high coping and adaptive capabilities; 40 % presented medium capabilities, and 7 % presented low capabilities.

Conclusion: Continuous follow-up is extremely important throughout the disease process; having a romantic partner becomes a protective factor since patients feel heard and cared for, which motivates them to follow through with the treatment. In the nursing field, knowing the experience of those who live with an illness allows for transcending and impacting care by providing holistic attention to patients.
