This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Background:Ample evidence demonstrates the critical importance of mentoring in residency, but the heterogeneity of young physicians and the abundance of potential career pathways available present a challenge to formal mentoring programs. This study sought to evaluate the University of Washington Internal Medicine Resident Advising Mentoring Program (RAMP) and to describe a revised program based on results of the evaluation. Methods:A confidential, 25-question qualitative and multiple-choice IRB-approved survey was distributed by email to all UW Internal Medicine residents at the end of the 2013-14 academic year. Results:Of 161 residents surveyed, 60 responded (37.3%). Most residents (61.7%) reported having multiple mentors, while six (10.0%) reported having 0 mentors. The majority of mentoring relationships were self-initiated (69.6%). Less than a third of respondents (28.3%) agreed that RAMP played a significant role in finding the right mentor. The most significant barriers to connecting with potential mentors included scheduling difficulties (due to resident's schedule (46.7%) and/or mentor's schedule (25.0%)), followed by unknown career interests (31.7%). Most respondents agreed that their relationship with their mentor was meaningful in their professional development (70.2%), however, only half (48.3%) felt satisfied with mentorship in our residency program. Satisfaction with mentorship received was significantly associated with confidence in career plans (p=0.02) and number of mentors reported by residents (p=0.03). Free responses repeatedly touched on two themes: residents need more longitudinal career guidance and should be matched with RAMP advisers with similar interests. Conclusions:RAMP may improve resident satisfaction by matching residents with advisers in their chosen field of interest, optimizing timing of faculty and resident connections, ensuring longitudinal mentoring relationships, and defining clear responsibilities of the mentee, mentors, and advisors.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate some changes in the metabolism of papaya fruits submitted to damage by impact, abrasion and compression. Injuries were caused in two areas of 15 cm2 each; in diametrically opposite positions in the equatorial region of ‘Improved Sunrise Solo Line 72/12’ papaya fruits in ripening stage 3 (fruits with 25-40% of yellow skin). After damage, fruits were stored at 15 ± 1 °C and 85 ± 5% RH, and samples were taken at intervals of two days to evaluate skin color index, incidence of diseases, loss of fresh weight, leak of solutes, pulp firmness, soluble solids content and pectinmethylesterase and polygalacturonase activities. The respiratory rate was measured at intervals of 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after damage. The results show the suppressive effects of mechanical damage on the final quality and also on fruit shelf life. Mechanically damaged fruits anticipated ripening, with skin color indexes higher than control fruits. Abrasion was the damage that caused more dramatic effects, showing, at the end of the study period, loss of fresh weight and leak of solutes of 27% and 18.7%, respectively, higher than control fruits. In addition, fruits submitted to this type of damage have higher respiratory rate and also higher rot incidence. The pectinmethylesterase and polygalacturonase activity was not consistently changed in relation to damage. Similarly, there was no difference in soluble solids content.

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to assess the postharvest quality preservation of feijoa(Acca sellowiana Berg) flowers in response to treatments with different preservative solutions and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). Recently opened feijoa flowers were harvested in the morning (between 8h and 10h) and immediately after pulsed with preservative solutions of salicylic acid, ascorbic acid and sucrose, all at doses of 0 (control), 2, 5 or 10%, and treated with 1-MCP at doses of 0 (control), 250, 500 or 1,000 nL L-1. Each trial with preservative solutions or 1-MCP treatment was a distinct experiment conducted in a completely randomized design with four replicates, each replicate with four flowers. After the treatment, the flowers were stored for 12 days at 10±1 oC and 85±5% RH. At every two-days intervals the flower petals were visually evaluated for wilting and darkening according to a hedonic scale varying from 1 (less intense) to 5 (more intense). Petal color was ranked from 1 (intense pink) to 5 (white). The 1-MCP at 500 nL L-1 and the salicylic acid (regardless of the dose) delayed the changes of petal color for up to eight and six days of storage, respectively. Flowers treated with salicylic acid, 1-MCP or ascorbic acid had a more substantial delay in petal wilting. Flowers treated with salicylic acid had wilting rank of 2 after six days of storage when treated with doses of 5% or 10%, and after eight days when treated with the dose of 2%, while flowers treated with 1-MCP at 500 and 1,000 nL L-1 and ascorbic acid at 2% and 5% had wilting rank of 2 after four days of storage. The most substantial delay of petal darkening (until the fourth day of storage) was achieved with 1-MCP at 500 nL L-1.

Resumo As ondas de calor impactam setores socioeconômicos em diversas regiões do mundo. Dentro deste tema, o efeito do calor à saúde pública é um dos mais estudados, especialmente no que tange ao aumento da taxa de mortalidade humana. Procurando dar subsídios para possíveis ações mitigadoras no Brasil, o presente estudo propõe apresentar as características de frequência, duração, abrangência espacial e intensidade das ondas de calor. Utilizou-se dados de temperatura máxima diária (Tmax) da série histórica (1961-2014) de 265 estações meteorológicas do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (INMET), separadas em três áreas do Brasil. Primeiramente, selecionou-se os eventos que, durante três ou mais dias, pelo menos a metade das observações na área apresentaram Tmax superando a média de Tmax mais um desvio padrão. Posteriormente, a média espacial e temporal da Tmax foi definida como intensidade, Int. Por fim, os eventos com valores superiores ao terceiro quartil de Int foram definidos como ondas de calor. Foram encontradas 11 ondas de calor na área 1, 23 na área 2 e 31 na área 3, a maioria na primavera e/ou verão. Nosso principal achado mostra que o número de ondas de calor tem aumentado ao longo das últimas cinco décadas, sendo a maioria das ocorrências concentradas após os anos 2000, na atual fase fria da Oscilação Decadal do Pacífico (ODP). Também nesse período, foram verificadas as ondas de calor mais duradouras e intensas. As conclusões deste trabalho sobre frequência, duração e intensidade das ondas de calor aparecem como forte indicativo de que as mudanças climáticas globais têm influenciado o campo de temperatura no Brasil.

ABSTRACT CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Mortality measurements are traditionally used as health indicators and are useful in describing a population's health situation through reporting injuries that lead to death. The aim here was to analyze the temporal trend of proportional mortality from ill-defined causes (IDCs) among the elderly in Brazil from 1979 to 2013. DESIGN AND SETTING: Ecological study using data from the Mortality Information System of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. METHODS: The proportional mortality from IDCs among the elderly was calculated for each year of the study series (1979 to 2013) in Brazil, and the data were disaggregated according to sex and to the five geographical regions and states. To analyze time trends, simple linear regression coefficients were calculated. RESULTS: During the study period, there were 2,646,194 deaths from IDCs among the elderly, with a decreasing trend (ß -0.545; confidence interval, CI: -0.616 to -0.475; P < 0.000) for both males and females. This reduction was also observed in the macroregions and states, except for Amapá. The states in the northeastern region reported an average reduction of 80%. CONCLUSIONS: Mortality from IDCs among the elderly has decreased continuously since 1985, but at different rates among the different regions and states. Actions aimed at improving data records on death certificates need to be strengthened in order to continue the trend observed.

Published: November 2016

Abstract Introduction Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an efficient adjuvant technique to promote disinfection of the root canal system. Therefore, it is important to investigate changes to dentin morphology and permeability induced by the use of diode laser on the root dentin. Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate morphological changes and the percentage of apical leakage after the use of laser. Material and method Forty single-rooted teeth were instrumented using rotary system and irrigated. Teeth were randomly divided in two groups: G1 - not exposed to PDT (control), and G2 - pretreated with toluidine blue photosensitizer and irradiated with AsGaAl laser diode. Ten teeth in each group were evaluated by SEM for morphological changes. The other ten teeth were filled and stained with Rhodamine B to evaluate the apical leakage. Result The results showed significant difference between G1 and G2 (p <0.001 - chi-square), with greater presence of debris in G1 and higher incidence of open dentinal tubules in G2. Erosions and cracks were observed in both groups, with no statistically significant difference (p> 0.001). The apical leakage was significantly higher in G2 than in G1 (p <0.001 - Student's t-test). Conclusion It was concluded that the use of low-level laser reduced the smear layer and opened the dentinal tubules. Use of laser increased the permeability of the apical dentin.

Authors: Elgalhud Abdurrahman A. , Dhir Ravindra K. , Ghataora Gurmel S.
Published: November 2016

Systematic analysis and evaluation of experimental results on carbonation and carbonation-induced corrosion resistance of concrete made with Portland limestone cement (PLC) are presented; these results have been extracted from 143 globally published studies in the literature since 1986, by 274 researchers from 131 institutions and 34 countries, and yielding a 19 000 data matrix are presented. It is shown that the carbonation of concrete increases with increasing limestone content, within the range permitted by standard BS EN 197-1:2011. This effect, however, is less marked for concrete designed on an equal strength basis to the corresponding Portland cement (PC) concrete than concrete designed on an equal water/cement (w/c) basis. Eurocode 2 standard specifications for XC3 carbonation exposure for characteristic cube strength of concrete (or its w/c ratio) may need to be reviewed for the addition of limestone. Other influencing factors: curing, limestone fineness, total cement content, were also studied. A comparison has been conducted for the carbonation performance of concrete made with PLC and cement containing fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag. Procedures to reduce the carbonation of PLC concrete are proposed. Response to accelerated carbonation, at 3–5% carbon dioxide concentration, of PLC concrete is similar to natural indoor exposure. A conversion factor of 1 week accelerated carbonation equal to 0·75 year natural indoor exposure was determined.
Educational Strategies for Clinical and Technical Skills Performance
Authors: Roh HyeRin
Published: November 2016

The aim of this study is to provide the background of developing guides to clinical performance and basic clinical skills and to introduce how to teach and learn using the guide. The students’ performance problems presented in an objective clinical skills examination were disease-centered tertiary hospital clinical care, incomplete performance, doing by rote, and an exam-oriented learning attitude. The problems were caused by a tertiary hospital-based educational environment as well as schools and faculty who are unfamiliar with the concept of patient-centered care. The purpose of the guide to clinical performance and basic clinical skills is to overcome these problems and address the causes. The guides show a clinical presentation approach to primary care; clinical care integrated with knowledge, skills, and attitude; a schematic approach; and a patient-centered attitude. To achieve these goals, a strategy to change the educational culture is important. Curricular reform, faculty development, and improving educational facilities and environments are suggested.

The bibliometrical indicators, based on the statistical analysis of quantitative data from scientific literature, are currently an essential tool to the study researchersâ€™ activity. In these lasts years, the use of bibliometrical indicators as a complement to other scientific indicators to analyse the research situation of a country, its evolution in time and its position in the international context has been extended.Â  The objective of this study is to analyse the scientific productivity in Learning, Teaching and Education Leadership throughout the communications presented in all of the World Conference on Learning, Teaching and Education Leadership (WCLTA) included in the database Web of Science (WoS). The process includes three basic phases: recovery, download and normalization of the bibliographical data to study, construction of a file with the authorsâ€™ productivity and groups delimitation by means of co-authorship frequencies. The last phase of this process consists in the characterization of the process through bibliometrical indicators: size of the group, production, productivity, collaboration rates and thematic specialization. 1,115 works that have been signed by a total of 2,619 authors compose the sample. The data indicates that the proportionate average of signatures by authors per work is of a 2.35%. A 27% of the works have been signed by a single author while a 73% have been done by 2 or more authors. The co-authorship works ranges from 404 works with two authors per work up to a work signed by 16 authors. Out of all the works analysed only 17.13% (191) have been cited, and 82.87% (924) have never been cited. Nevertheless, no significantly differences have been observed in the number of works signed or signing institutions and the number of cites received by the works. While analysing the authorsâ€™ geographical provenance, it is observed that the greater number of contributions come from Turkey, Iran, Malaysia, Romania, Spain Italy and the Czech Republic.Â Key words: Research Groups, Web of Science, Productivity, Learning, Teaching and Education LeadershipÂ

Communication in the Operating Room Setting
Authors: Osborne-Smith Lisa , Kyle Hodgen R.
Published: November 2016

Ideal and effective communication consists of a clear, audible, and focused message from a transmitter that is delivered to an attentive, undistracted receiver, and consists of both verbal and nonverbal types. Communication in the health care setting is highly complex and dynamic, involving multiple settings, participants, and unique challenges. Effective communication in the perioperative environment is a requirement for safe patient care delivery and an important element of teamwork. A message must be accurately delivered in a uniquely high-risk and time-sensitive location, beset with numerous distractions, barriers, and challenges. Surgical checklists and time-out procedures have promoted a standardized, "all-hands" approach to addressing some of the challenges to effective communication in the perioperative environment. Postoperative debriefing sessions have demonstrated effectiveness in improving team functioning in the simulated learning environment and hold promise as another strategy to address these challenges, but require further research and development. Other promising strategies to improve effective perioperative communication are focused on team building activities and minimizing distractions at critical time points within patient care delivery, but to date are not substantiated by evidence. Future research is necessary to examine these novel approaches to improving communication in the perioperative environment to influence the safety of patient care delivery in this highly challenging health care setting.
Anesthesia Information Management Systems
Authors: Davis Thomas Corey
Published: November 2016

Anesthesia information management systems (AIMS) are rapidly gaining widespread acceptance. Aggressively promoted as an improvement to manual-entry recordkeeping systems in the areas of accuracy, completeness, quality improvement, billing, and vigilance, these systems record all patient vital signs and parameters, providing a legible hard copy and permanent electronic record. With well-documented financial incentives, as well as government subsidies, AIMS are becoming adopted at an unprecedented rate. With the goals of the federal government to enhance the use of the electronic medical record, there is an emerging belief that AIMS may soon be mandated, with more limited choices than currently available. As assessed by, and often in spite of the published evidence, concerns of practitioners still reflect many of the same concerns expressed in the editorial comments of the past.
Aging in India- The Role of State in Health care
Authors: Verma Monica
Published: November 2016

The world is amidst of an epochal demographic shift that will reshape societies, economies, and markets throughout the next century. The world population, as per United Nations forecasts, will either stabilize/ balance or peak around 2050, after growing for centuries at an ever-accelerating rate. The fundamental reason is the decline occurring in birth rates as nations advance economically.  As birth rates drop and better health care services delay life traverses ( prolongs life span), the world’s population is aging rapidly. However the demographic dynamics in the developing world including India are radically different. Birth rates are still high, and populations are both growing and getting younger. Throughout the following couple of decades, a considerable lot of these nations including India are prone to experience what David Bloom, chair of the department of global health and population at Harvard's School of Public Health, has called a "demographic profit" a rising Proportion of youngsters entering the workforce, driving efficiency and economic development. But our aging population is anticipated to increase fourfold in next decade and this is a growing concern for India. The share of India’s population ages 60 and older is anticipated to move from 8 percent in 2010 to 19 percent in 2050, as indicated by the United Nations Population Division (UN 2011. By mid-century, India’s 60 and older population is expected to encompass 323 million individuals, a number more noteworthy than the aggregate U.S. populace in 2012. This profound shift in the share of older Indians— occurring with regards to changing family connections and severely limited old-age income support— brings with it an assortment of social, economic, and medicinal services approach challenges.

This paper proposes to contemplate  the probable impact of the aging population in India, the challenges to be met and the opportunities to be exploited by investigating demographic, social and economic trends and aspects of aging in India, and advocate the necessity  of policy initiatives for the care of older persons in India in terms of their wellbeing needs and budgetary security as it would be obligation of the state to provide, address the need of  general population  in the nation   irrespective of  age, standing, caste, sexual orientation and so forth.

Published: November 2016

O Campo de Públicas é um movimento multidisciplinar formado por discentes e docentes ligados aos cursos que formam gestores públicos e que, a partir de 2010, intensificou a discussão de assuntos relevantes à esfera pública. Esta pesquisa qualitativa busca compreender a constituição deste movimento a partir de referenciais teóricos sobre identidade fornecidos pela Psicologia Social e pela análise de entrevistas realizadas com integrantes graduados em Administração. Constatou-se, a partir das falas dos entrevistados que a negação da identidade pressuposta de administrador foi um fator determinante para o seu ingresso no referido movimento e que a natureza da identidade coletiva em construção expressa em suas entrevistas é de resistência à imposição de referenciais típicos da ciência administrativa hegemônica. Dinâmicas associadas ao movimento sinalizam em direção à uma identidade de projeto, ancorada na multiplicidade da formação de seus atores.

Documenting Trends in Pest Management Practices on US Golf Courses
Authors: Gelernter Wendy D. , Stowell Larry J. , Johnson Mark E. , Brown Clark D.
Published: November 2016

Core Ideas

Pest management practices on golf course turf have changed since an initial survey was conducted in 2007.

There is increased reliance on nonpesticide approaches to pest control.

Pest management decision‐making is most influenced by information obtained from personal interactions, followed by websites and print publications.

Since the initial 2007 survey on pest management practices at US golf courses, superintendents have reported increased reliance on nonpesticide approaches to pest control, including cultural practices (+66% increase), plant growth regulators (+44%), and biological control (+25%). Reliance on conventional pest control chemistries has increased slightly for fungicides (+4%) and herbicides (+2%), and has decreased slightly for insecticides (−4%) and, more dramatically, for nematicides (−15%). Pest management decision‐making is most influenced by information obtained from personal interactions (98% of respondents), followed by websites (87%) and print publications (79%). Superintendents reported relatively low impact of regulations on pest management programs in both 2007 and 2015, with even less impact reported in 2015 than in 2007. The most frequently cited local government regulations were for record keeping, storage, and pesticide posting–notification. Development of written pest management plans was largely a voluntary effort, with <15% initiated due to regulatory requirements. Since 2007, participation in costly projects such as development of written pesticide plans, improved pesticide storage facilities, and improved mixing–loading stations has decreased. Further improvements in pest management efficacy and safety will rely on greater investment by: (i) golf courses in staff education, as well as safety‐related facility improvements; (ii) universities and superintendent associations in research, outreach, and education on new pest management strategies; and (iii) companies in continued development of new, environmentally compatible, and efficacious pest management products.

The implementation of technology in classrooms affords educators more opportunities to work better in their lessons. However, there are numerous distinctive barriers that might prevent teachers from making use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in their teaching practices. Admittedly, studying the obstacles to the integration of technology in schools would be an important step in developing the quality of teaching. The primary objective of this study is to discover the barriers that stop university language teachers from using ICT in teaching. In this study the questionnaire is employed as data collection instrument. The questionnaire addresses only university English language teachers. Forty-six university English language teachers are chosen from two universities: Moulay Ismail University Faculty of Arts and Humanities – Meknes and Sidi Mohamed Ben AbdellahDahr – El Mahraz – Fes as a case study. So as to analyze the data from the questionnaire, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19 is employed. The research findings reveal that Moroccan university English language teachers face multiple barriers such as large classes, lack of computers, lack of Internet and insufficient technical support that prevent them from using ICT in their teaching practices.

In the present study the feasibility of the use of a bacterial batch sequential anaerobic–aerobic process, in which activated sludge was used in both parts of the process, for pretreatment of wastewater generated by a textile dyeing factory has been considered. Activated sludge used in the process was obtained from a municipal wastewater treatment plant and adapted to real dyeing wastewater using either an anaerobic-only or an anaerobic–aerobic process over a period of 90 days. The use of activated sludge adapted using the anaerobic–aerobic process resulted in a higher overall decolorization efficiency compared to that achieved with activated sludge adapted using the anaerobic-only cycles. Anaerobic and aerobic periods of around 34 and 22 hours respectively resulted in an effluent with chemical oxygen demand (COD) and color content which met the standards for discharge into the centralized wastewater treatment plant of the industrial estate in which the dyeing factory was situated. Neutralization of the real dyeing wastewater and addition of carbon source to it, both of which results in significant increase in the cost of the bacterial treatment process, was not found to be necessary to achieve the required discharge standards.
