An Update of Oral Health Curricula in US Family Medicine Residency Programs
Authors: Silk Hugh , Savageau Judith A. , Sullivan Kate , Sawosik Gail , Wang Min
Published: June 2018

Background and Objectives: National initiatives have encouraged oral health training for family physicians and other nondental providers for almost 2 decades. Our national survey assesses progress of family medicine residency programs on this important health topic since our last survey in 2011.
Methods: Family medicine residency program directors (PDs) completed an online survey covering various themes including number of hours of oral health (OH) teaching, topics covered, barriers, evaluation, positive influences, and program demographics.
Results: Compared to 2011, more PDs feel OH should be addressed by physicians (86% in 2017 vs 79% in 2011), yet fewer programs are teaching OH (81% vs 96%) with fewer hours overall (31% vs 45% with 4 or more hours). Satisfaction with the competence of graduating residents in OH significantly decreased (17% in 2017 vs 32% in 2011). Program directors who report graduates being well prepared to answer board questions on oral health topics are more likely to have an oral health champion (P<0.001) and report satisfaction with the graduates’ level of oral health competency (P<0.001). Programs with an oral health champion, or having a relationship with a state or national oral health coalition, or having routine teaching from a dental professional are significantly more likely to have more hours of oral health curriculum (P<0.001).
Conclusions: Family medicine PDs are more aware of the importance of oral health, yet less oral health is being taught in residency programs. Developing more faculty oral health champions and connecting programs to dental faculty and coalitions may help reduce this educational void.
Black Clouds vs Random Variation in Hospital Admissions
Authors: Ong Luei Wern , Dawson Jeffrey D. , Ely John W.
Published: June 2018

Background and Objectives: Physicians often accuse their peers of being “black clouds” if they repeatedly have more than the average number of hospital admissions while on call. Our purpose was to determine whether the black-cloud phenomenon is real or explainable by random variation.
Methods: We analyzed hospital admissions to the University of Iowa family medicine service from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2015. Analyses were stratified by peer group (eg, night shift attending physicians, day shift senior residents). We analyzed admission numbers to find evidence of black-cloud physicians (those with significantly more admissions than their peers) and white-cloud physicians (those with significantly fewer admissions). The statistical significance of whether there were actual differences across physicians was tested with mixed-effects negative binomial regression.
Results: The 5-year study included 96 physicians and 6,194 admissions. The number of daytime admissions ranged from 0 to 10 (mean 2.17, SD 1.63). Night admissions ranged from 0 to 11 (mean 1.23, SD 1.22). Admissions increased from 1,016 in the first year to 1,523 in the fifth year. We found 18 white-cloud and 16 black-cloud physicians in simple regression models that did not control for this upward trend. After including study year and other potential confounding variables in the regression models, there were no significant associations between physicians and admission numbers and therefore no true black or white clouds.
Conclusions: In this study, apparent black-cloud and white-cloud physicians could be explained by random variation in hospital admissions. However, this randomness incorporated a wide range in workload among physicians, with potential impact on resident education at the low end and patient safety at the high end.
Recomposição da estrutura familiar a partir do sujeito-pai-afetivo
Authors: Carvalho Rafaela Pacífico , Santana Samene Batista
Published: June 2018

O presente trabalho, desenvolvido por meio de revisões bibliográficas exploratórias e leituras sistematizadas, aborda resultados de um projeto de pesquisa, desenvolvido pelo Laboratório de Estudos do Direito e do Discurso (Labedire) atrelado à Faculdade Independente do Nordeste, em Vitória da Conquista – Bahia, na área do Direito Processual e mediante estudos em Análise do Discurso. Neste estudo analisamos as modificações estruturais e a noção jurídica da família dentro da sociedade atual. Para tanto, é preciso reconhecer a noção deconsaguinidade e de afeto como estruturadores das relações familiares e de que maneira o sujeito, aqui como "espaço vazio" (FOUCAULT, 2008, p. 109) se comporta diante dessa (re)configuração familiar. Faz-se necessário, para compreender essa nova/atual concepção e estruturação das famílias, buscar, historicamente, de que maneira e dentro de quais modificações sociais foi possível se estabelecer uma nova concepção de família, saindo de uma estrutura patriarcal e imperialista para relações baseadas no afeto entre os entes. O presente trabalho reproduz uma busca literária e discursiva, tendo como base os conceitos de Foucault, acerca de como o sujeito-pai-afetivo persegue sua condição e se constitui diante de cada situação valorando as condições de possibilidade e aparecimento ao longo do tempo. Faremos, ainda, uma relação entre os conceitos Foucaultianos e decisões judicias do STF, sendo possível observar como a nova/atual concepção de família é encarada pelo Judiciário Brasileiro.
Trabalho e Consumo no Século XXI
Authors: Attílio Luccas Assis
Published: June 2018

Esse artigo analisa a evolução do trabalho e do consumo ao longo dos anos. Realizamos esse objetivo de três formas. Inicialmente utilizamos revisão de literatura. Posteriormente a análise ocorre por meio de dados. Por fim, mostramos que a construção dos modelos de crescimento econômico reforça o padrão da busca constante por maior consumo enquanto denotando que é principalmente através dessa variável que podemos obter maior satisfação. Nossas conclusões sugerem que a maximização do consumo tende a enfraquecer as relações sociais e a reproduzir uma sociedade cada vez mais individualista, que concede maior importância ao valor de troca em detrimento do valor de uso das mercadorias.

Introduction/Objective. In this study, the effects of applied anesthetic techniques were investigated in a retrospective analysis of obese patients and those with normal body mass index undergoing in vitro fertilization, using bispectral index as an indicator of anesthetic depth. Methods. In total 116 patients with normal body mass index were allocated to group N. Another 116 patients with body mass index > 30 kg/m2 were allocated to group O. Anesthetic protocol comprised midazolam for premedication, diclofenac for pre-emptive analgesia, propofol for induction and maintenance, alfentanil for analgesia, suxamethonium for muscle relaxation. We recorded and compared the monitored parameters using t-test and ?2 test. Results. Procedure duration and recovery time were significantly longer in O group (p < 0.01). There is a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000181) in the number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation after induction of anesthesia. Propofol consumption was significantly higher (p < 0.0001) in O group (2.7 ? 1.6 mg/kg) as compared to group N (2.1 ? 0.4 mg/kg). The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was observed in six patients in N group (5.17%) and nine patients in O group (7.76%). Pain intensity was found higher in group O compared to group N (p < 0.0001). Assessment of patients? sedation using verbal scale reported no statistically significant difference between N and O groups (p = 0.2548). Conclusion. Induction and maintenance of anesthesia in obese patients results in increased consumption of propofol and the need for muscle relaxation. The statements of the patients who underwent the procedure under intravenous propofol and alfentanil serve as the best recommendation for clinical practice.

Changing World: Music and Youth
Authors: Sasa-Tepania Latoia
Published: June 2018

Lights, camera, action!

It is all on from here, there is no turning back now. It is the dreaded fear of forgetting lyrics you know inside out, or messing up a simple dance routine where you have been over the steps a thousand times just before you step out on to the big stage.

These are pressures all singers and performers from professional, aspiring or experienced know of, but understand it is the learning from these experiences we become stronger and better equipped in our craft.

Much is to say about life with its ever-teaching experiences and growth in learning who we are and what we have to give. In this article, I will endeavor to take you on a journey introducing key people who have been positive driving forces in helping me navigate my way through life. You will begin to see why music and youth go hand in hand for me as you become familiar with my family, background and journey.

Blessed I am with having the opportunity to work closely with youth of all ages in my community, as a teacher of life skills and valued based programs ages from the new entrance to the intermediate level. I am also currently working as a facilitator and Programme Coordinator for a Careers and Peer mentoring based programme, both delivered to College level students. My positions place me in the necessary environment to be of positive influence with building positive relationships with rangatahi.

Apart from my love for teaching I am also a music recording artist. My love for teaching about values and principles and passion for music go hand in hand. The passion I have for both music and teaching youth has been inspired by influential teachers I have in my own family.

Both professions allow me to speak life, allow me to share experiences, shed light, bring forth issues I feel need to be heard and brought out into the open. Using music as a medium to teach and communicate through, enables me to reach youth in a more special, unique and creative way.

The reason I have decided to embark on this journey of Music and youth as I feel there to be a great need for good role models in music.

Role models who use their gifts of song and music to nurture, uplift and empower rangatahi. It is with hopes my talents and gifts in Music and teaching will help the future growth of rangatahi.
Corporate Social Responsibility Rhetoric in Times of Crises. A Rhetorical Analysis of CSR Reports Prior to and After Major Corporate Crises
Authors: Gruber Maria
Published: June 2018

Corporate Social Responsibility reporting has grown increasingly in importance for companies in terms of portraying themselves as good corporate citizens. However, when confronted with a major corporate crisis that evoked an extensive loss in stakeholders’ trust, it remained unclear, how to further deal with the need for CSR communication without presenting oneself as exceedingly hypocritical. In the course of this study, the questions of how and to what extent crises cause change in a corporation’s CSR rhetoric were addressed. Therefore, the utilization of the rhetorical dimensions of logos, ethos, pathos, cosmos and autopoiesis as well as the amount of negative disclosure in the CSR reports of the world’s leading automobile companies (Toyota, General Motors, Volkswagen) were analyzed, one year before and one year after they had maneuvered themselves into a corporate crisis. The rhetorical analysis revealed that the distinctive context of each case (including the corporations’ responsibility for the crisis) dictated the rhetorical adjustments of the CSR reporting after the crisis. Moreover, it could be shown, that when reporting on the crisis cause itself, corporations tend to apply the dimension of ethos more frequently to counter the audience’s potential perception of their hypocrisy.

A análise de sua evolução físico-temporal, por meio da história ao longo do século XX seguiu o desenvolvimento urbano com dados numéricos e mapas, apresentam em um período de 100 anos como a coleta de esgoto evoluiu nos distritos paulistanos. Ao final, faz-se uma breve analogia com os fatores técnicos sociais, políticos e urbanísticos que contribuiram para a priorização na escolha das áreas de expansão da infraestrutura através da cidade. Como conclusão constata-se que a instalação dos serviços começou na área central da cidade, estenden-do - se de forma aproximadamente concêntrica ao redor desse primeiro centro, abrangendo a re-gião atualmente denominada centro expandido. Após a década de 70, a implantação vai se con-solidando na região periférica da cidade, principalmente nas zonas sul e leste, as menos atendi-das até então até o ano 2000, quando a cobertura do serviço era considerada em termo de 91%.

Este estudo avaliou a frequência de notificações de casos de raiva bovina na Região Norte do Brasil, entre os anos de 2005-2017, por meio de consulta ao banco de dados do Sistema Nacional de Informação Zoossanitária do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento (SIZ-MAPA). Foram realizadas 1.994 notificações no período analisado. Um total de 89,07% das 1.994 notificações foram procedentes dos estados do Tocantins, Pará e Rondônia. Os estados do Amazonas, Acre, Roraima e Amapá foram os que menos registraram notificações no período. Constatou-se grande variação na frequência de notificações, o que necessita de estudos mais aprofundados, embora seja de conhecimento que as alterações, nos fatores ecológicos das populações de quirópteros hematófagos, relacionadas à receptividade e vulnerabilidade da Região Norte, podem estar envolvidas. Embora o estudo não possa comprovar a ciclicidade nos surtos de raiva bovina descrita em outros estudos, foi verificado elevação no número de notificações a cada dois, três ou cinco anos para a maior parte dos estados da Região. Portanto, foi constatado a endemicidade da raiva bovina na Região Norte, sendo necessárias medidas preventivas que possam assegurar o controle da doença e, consequentemente, a redução dos prejuízos econômicos da doença na Região.

A busca por mudanças nas metodologias de ensino utilizadas em sala de aula no ensino superior torna-se cada vez mais evidente, já que os discentes devem estar mais bem habilitados para o mercado de trabalho. As metodologias ativas de ensino, além de melhorarem a relação professor-aluno, permitem elevar a autonomia dos alunos nas decisões tomadas em sala de aula, proporcionando melhores resultados no processo de aprendizagem. Diante disso, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar a implementação de metodologias ativas de ensino em uma disciplina optativa na área de alimentos para o Curso de Farmácia na Universidade Federal do Piauí. Um total de seis atividades foram definidas por meio de um brainstorming com a participação efetiva dos discentes e coordenada pela docente, para serem utilizadas no desenvolvimento de todo o período da disciplina. Ao final do semestre, cada atividade foi avaliada de forma qualitativa e quantitativa pelos discentes em fichas desenvolvidas para tal. Usou-se a metodologia de estudo descritivo para avaliação dos dados, que foi realizado por meio da análise crítica da avaliação de cada atividade. De acordo com as notas e comentários atribuídos, verificou-se que os discentes, em sua maioria, preferiram a metodologia ativa em detrimento do método tradicional de ensino, sendo o debate o formato de aula que mais agradou os estudantes.A busca por mudanças nas metodologias de ensino utilizadas em sala de aula no ensino superior torna-se cada vez mais evidente, já que os discentes devem estar mais bem habilitados para o mercado de trabalho.

Objective. To investigate the state of microcirculation (МC) in the patients, suffering adhesive ileus (AI) in іntraoperative period.
Маterials and methods. The changes in peripheral MC in patients, suffering AI, through the operative intervention performance, using laser Doppler flowmetry, were analyzed.
Results. During operative intervention performance the changes in the peripheral tissues perfusion and in regulatory mechanisms occur, influencing the microcirculatory bed (МCB) state. Most severe changes were registered in the end of operative intervention. The indices comparison was done, which were оbtained while doing laparotomic and laparoscopic operative interventions, and it have been shown, that application of miniinvasive technologies is accompanied by slower and less severe changes in the tissues perfusion, than while application of the open access operations.
Conclusion. The changes in MCB revealed permit to suggest, that intraoperatively a significant disorders in MC occur, which may cause serious worsening of postoperative period course. The impact on the intraoperative MC state improves the disease course significantly and prevents the severe complications occurrence in patients, suffering AI.

Timing recovery is one of the most important issues that need to be solved for a receiver. The key of timing recovery is the extraction of timing errors. The timing recovery algorithm adopted by all-digital receivers is expected to be fast and have small computation burden. This paper first introduces the overall structure of the traditional square timing recovery loop, and then proposes an improved square timing error detection algorithm. By using the Goertezl algorithm, this improved algorithm optimizes the step--extracting spectral components at the symbol rate 1/T. Finally, this paper simulates and analyzes the improved algorithm, as well as parameters’ influence on the performance of the algorithm. It is proved that the improved square timing error detection algorithm can greatly reduce the amount of computation under the premise of guaranteeing performance.

The study was
centered on the comparative analysis of battery cage and deep litter poultry
housing systems in Abia state, Nigeria. The study specifically examined the
factors influencing the choice of poultry housing system in the study area;
estimated the profitability of battery cage and deep litter system in the area;
analyzed the determinants of profit in battery cage and deep litter systems respectively;
and examined the constraints faced by poultry farmers in the area. Primary data
source was used for the study. Multi-stage sampling technique was used in the
selection of 140 respondents. Descriptive statistics like frequency, tables,
charts, etc; profitability index (cost and returns analysis) and multiple
regression were the tools of analysis. From the cost and return analysis, it
was observed that both housing systems are profitable. The t test result showed
that housing system adopted for poultry farms have an effect on the profit.
However, it was observed that farmers using deep litter system make more profit
when compared to battery cage housing system. It was observed that battery cage
system is more capital intensive when compared to deep litter system and this predisposes
most famers to favour deep litter housing system to battery cage system. Sex,
marital status, education, mortality rate, cost of production, farm size,
experience and access to credit were significant variables having varying
effects on the profit of battery cage users while sex, household size,
education, mortality, cost of production, farm size, experience were the
significant variables influencing the returns of deep litter users in the study
area.  High cost of feeds, inadequate
amenities, high interest rates, quality of stock etc. where the major
constraints of poultry production in the area. The study recommends that governments
should subsidize the cost of feeds to make it affordable for farmers in the
study area
