Popp, JK, Bellar, DM, Hoover, DL, Craig, BW, Leitzelar, BN, Wanless, EA, and Judge, LW. Pre- and post-activity stretching practices of collegiate athletic trainers in the United States. J Strength Cond Res 31(9): 2347–2354, 2017—The aim of the study was to investigate the knowledge and practices of collegiate-certified athletic trainers (ATs) in the United States. Participants (n = 521) were provided an overview of the study and a hyperlink to a web-based survey. The “pre- and post-activity practices in athletic training questionnaire” consisted of demographic items and elements to measure knowledge and practices related to pre- and post-activity stretching routines. In previous studies, the survey demonstrated construct validity, α = 0.722. Pearson chi-square test was used to evaluate goodness of fit, and kappa was calculated to measure agreement between items. Only 32.2% of ATs recommended dynamic stretching (DS) to be performed pre-activity, whereas a larger percentage (42.2%) recommended a combination of static stretching (SS) and DS. Athletic trainers reported that only 28.0% of athletes are performing DS before activity. Conversely, 60.6% of collegiate ATs recommended SS postexercise, and 61.0% of athletes agree and perform after workout SS (κ = 0.761, p < 0.001). Collegiate ATs seem to underuse the current research evidence, which indicates that DS is more beneficial than SS when used pre-activity, and ATs continue to regularly incorporate SS in their pre-activity routines. However, there is evidence that collegiate ATs in the United States emphasize SS postactivity in a manner consistent with current research.
Documentary Evidence and the Construction of Narratives in Legal and Historical Contexts
Authors: Jones Gwynneth C. D.
Published: February 2015

Based on her experiences as an expert witness in Canadian litigation related to Aboriginal peoples, the author shares some personal reflections on the use of the written record as “evidence” in a legal context. As end users in a litigation context will be constructing their own narratives, a historian can add value in the courtroom by sharing skills in analyzing and providing context for written materials as well as providing a narrative based on their content. This process of simultaneously constructing and deconstructing a narrative can support the legitimacy of multiple narratives and provide space for evidence of other types, particularly oral evidence.

Diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis B and D virus infections mean that the patient is able to maintain working capacity, increase quality of life, prevent cancer, and prolong life expectancy, while the society benefits from eliminating the chances of further transmission of the viruses, and decreasing the overall costs of serious complications. The guideline delineates the treatment algorithms for 2015, which is agreed on a consensus meeting of specialists involved in the treatment of the above diseases. The prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection in the Hungarian general population is 0.5–0.7%. The indications of treatment is based upon viral examinations (including viral nucleic acid determination), determinations of disease activity and stage (including biochemical, pathologic, and/or non-invasive methods), and excluding contraindications. To avoid unnecessary side effects and for cost-effective approach the guideline emphasizes the importance of quick and detailed virologic evaluations, the applicability of transient elastography as an acceptable alternative of liver biopsy in this regard, as well as the relevance of appropriate consistent follow up schedule for viral response during therapy. The first choice of therapy in chronic hepatitis B infection can be pegylated interferon for 48 weeks or continuous entecavir or tenofovir therapy. The latter two must be continued for at least 12 months after hepatitis B surface antigen seroconversion. Adefovir dipivoxil is recommended mainly in combination therapy. Lamivudine is no longer a first choice; patients currently taking lamivudine must switch if response is inadequate. Appropriate treatment of patients taking immunosuppressive medications is highly recommended. Pegylated interferon based therapy is recommended for the treatment of concomitant hepatitis D infection.

Published: February 2015

O objetivo do presente artigo é descrever e analisar o desenvolvimento dos indicadores utilizados para se identificar fortalezas e deficiências de serviço público de odontologia no município de Cambé, Paraná. A metodologia usada foi o estudo de caso histórico-organizacional. Para o planejamento da avaliação foi desenvolvido o modelo-lógico do serviço. Para tanto, foram coletadas informações a partir da triangulação de métodos (entrevistas, análise documental e observação). Na sequência, foi desenvolvida uma matriz que apresenta dimensões de análise, critérios, indicadores, pontuações, parâmetros e fontes de informações. Três oficinas de trabalho foram realizadas com profissionais do serviço local visando melhor adequação do modelo-lógico e da matriz à realidade do serviço. O período de coleta de dados foi novembro de 2006 a julho de 2007. Como resultado, obteve-se um fluxograma da organização do serviço de odontologia e uma matriz com duas dimensões de análise, doze critérios e vinte e quatro indicadores. O desenvolvimento dos indicadores, privilegiando a participação dos sujeitos envolvidos com a prática, proporcionou o planejamento de uma avaliação abrangente e realista.

Authors: Costa Ana Maria Aranha Magalhães , Silva Kátia Silveira da , Bonan Cláudia
Published: February 2015

A segunda metade do século vinte assistiu ao crescimento de entidades que refletiam a mobilização da sociedade civil para uma participação mais efetiva nas questões de interesse público e de cunho social. Desta forma surgiram as organizações não governamentais (ONG) que ganharam espaço como parceiros dos setores públicos e privados para a atuação em diferentes áreas, entre elas a saúde. Baseado em uma revisão da literatura, este trabalho teve como objetivo conhecer o status do conhecimento científico sobre a participação das ONG na saúde da criança e a partir da identificação e classificação de suas atividades, observar se esta atuação tem se compatibilizado com a agenda desse campo. A análise das publicações considerou a procedência dos autores, o periódico, os objetivos, a origem e o local de atuação das ONG e a procedência dos recursos aplicados nos projetos desenvolvidos. A natureza das atividades variou de acordo com o grau de desenvolvimento da região onde as ONG atuavam e os temas, parceria entre órgãos de governo e terceiro setor, sustentabilidade e impacto das ações nas comunidades beneficiárias foram os principais tópicos destacados pelos autores. Concluiu-se que as questões estão apenas se esboçando e que o impacto das intervenções das ONG na área da saúde da criança é um campo de conhecimento a ser explorado.

Authors: Soares Ana Helena Rotta , Martins Antilia Januária , Lopes Maria da Conceição Borges , Britto José Augusto Alves de , Oliveira Cristiano Queiroz de , Moreira Martha Cristina Nunes
Published: February 2015

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as produções científicas nacionais, que abordam a temática da qualidade de vida ligada à saúde da criança e do adolescente. As bases de dados consultadas foram a SciELO e Bireme totalizando 30 artigos publicados no período de 1990 a 2008. Revelou-se uma predominância da abordagem quantitativa (70%) e um alto índice de aplicações de instrumentos de avaliações de qualidade de vida ligada à saúde (66,7%) e genéricos (28,6%). O conceito de qualidade de vida foi usado em duas vertentes: no contexto da pesquisa científica e como parte dos resultados desejados das práticas assistenciais e políticas públicas. O referido construto é apresentado através de uma perspectiva multidimensional, incluindo no mínimo as dimensões física, psicológica e social e de uma perspectiva subjetiva, o que implica no pressuposto de que a própria pessoa deve avaliar sua qualidade de vida. Observou-se ainda um movimento de valorização da perspectiva da criança e do adolescente como relator de sua experiência de vida. Conclui-se pela necessidade de criação e utilização de instrumentos de avaliação de qualidade de vida que valorizem a perspectiva de crianças e adolescentes e adequados a sua fase de desenvolvimento. A avaliação de qualidade de vida deve ser incorporada à avaliação clínica uma vez que a doença crônica repercute nas diversas dimensões da vida dos mesmos.
Using systematic reviews and meta-analyses to support regulatory decision making for neurotoxicants: lessons learned from a case study of PCBs
Authors: Goodman Michael , Squibb Katherine , Youngstrom Eric , Anthony Laura Gutermuth , Kenworthy Lauren , Lipkin Paul H. , Mattison Donald R. , LaKind Judy S.
Published: February 2015

We examined prospective cohort studies evaluating the relation between prenatal and neonatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and neurodevelopment in children to assess the feasibility of conducting a meta-analysis to support decision making. We described studies in terms of exposure and end point categorization, statistical analysis, and reporting of results. We used this evaluation to assess the feasibility of grouping studies into reasonably uniform categories. The most consistently used tests included Brazelton's Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale, the neurologic optimality score in the neonatal period, the Bayley Scales of Infant Development at 5-8months of age, and the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities in 5-year-olds. Despite administering the same tests at similar ages, the studies were too dissimilar to allow a meaningful quantitative examination of outcomes across cohorts. These analyses indicate that our ability to conduct weight-of-evidence assessments of the epidemiologic literature on neurotoxicants may be limited, even in the presence of multiple studies, if the available study methods, data analysis, and reporting lack comparability.
Comparing Physical, Chemical, and Cold Stratification Methods for Alleviating Dormancy of Giant Ragweed (Ambrosia trifida) Seeds
Authors: Page Eric R. , Nurse Robert E.
Published: February 2015

Giant ragweed has become an increasingly important weed of arable land in many parts of North America. It is now a common weed of row crop production systems, a fact that can be attributed to earlier crop planting dates, reduced tillage, and the development of resistance to Group 2 and 9 herbicides. The propagation of giant ragweed seedlings for experimental purposes is a lengthy process because up to 90 d of stratification is often required to alleviate primary seed dormancy. The objective of this research was to evaluate physical, chemical, and cold stratification methods for alleviating seed dormancy in giant ragweed and reducing the length of cold stratification required. Results indicate that the most effective method for alleviating dormancy in seed of giant ragweed is to excise the embryo from its covering structures. By excising the embryo, 96% of viable giant ragweed seeds germinated with no stratification. In contrast, untreated seeds required a minimum of 6 wk of stratification to alleviate dormancy in a similar proportion of the population. Although excising embryos requires time and effort, the time savings relative to stratification make it an attractive method for propagating giant ragweed seedlings.
Analysis of responsible sourcing performance in BES 6001 certificates
Authors: Upstill-Goddard James , Glass Jacqui , Dainty Andrew R. J. , Nicholson Ian
Published: February 2015

Responsible sourcing (RS) of materials is defined as the ethical management of sustainability issues within the construction supply chain, and engagement is typically evidenced by certification to BES 6001, the framework standard for the RS of construction products. Points are scored in BES 6001 under a number of clauses, yet little is known about RS practices. The aim of this study was to extract knowledge about RS practices from all 138 BES 6001 certificates issued to UK companies between 2008 and 2013. Data by performance rating, company size and product sector were analysed using Spearman's rho (ρ) and Cronbach's alpha (α). Performance against the life cycle assessment and resource use clauses was found not to influence overall performance significantly, so neither of these clauses can be assumed to represent good summary measures of sustainability performance. This suggests that a refocusing of the scope of both these clauses might be appropriate in future developments of the standard.
Structural and optical properties of (001)-oriented vanadium pentoxide nanorods
Authors: Goyal Vibhu , Choudhary Nitin , Singh Kirandeep , Kaur Davinder
Published: February 2015

In this study, the authors report on the structural and optical properties of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanocrystalline thin films at different substrate temperatures ranging from room temperature to 450°C on glass substrates using vacuum evaporation technique. The deposition temperature was found to have significant effect on the structural, morphology and optical properties of these films. The X-ray diffraction pattern showed the formation of highly (001)-oriented, orthorhombic V2O5 films with high degree of crystallinity. Interestingly, field-emission scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy analyses revealed the formation of uniformly distributed V2O5 nanorods (≈138 nm) at a deposition temperature of 350°C. A significant decrease in transmittance was observed in the V2O5 films deposited above 350°C, which could be attributed to the scattering light loss caused by the increase in surface roughness of the films at high deposition temperatures. The optical parameters such as refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k) and band gap were also calculated from the transmittance and absorption curves over the spectral range of 300–800 nm. The formation of highly oriented V2O5 nanocrystalline rods will open avenues in various energy applications.
Recognising Effective Legal Protection to People Smuggled at Sea, by Reviewing the EU Legal Framework on Human Trafficking and Solidarity between Member States
Authors: Ventrella Matilde
Published: February 2015

The death toll of migrants at sea is on the increase. The EU and its Member States are not addressing the situation by widening the EU legal framework on human trafficking to persons smuggled at sea. People smuggled at sea are extremely vulnerable at the hands of their smugglers and suffer serious abuse of their human rights from their journeys through the desert, on the boats and when they reach their final destination. They become victims of human trafficking and they should not be neglected anymore by the EU and its Member States. However, all EU proposals lack of concreteness as Member States do not want to support and host migrants at sea on their territories. They are reluctant to launch solidarity between each other as requested by the Lisbon Treaty and by doing this, they are indirectly responsible for the death of many migrants at sea and for the abuse of their human rights. This article proposes alternatives to explore that could change the situation if Member States show their willingness to cooperate with each other.
Assessing the Extent of Human Trafficking: Inherent Difficulties and Gradual Progress
Authors: Scullion Dianne
Published: February 2015

This article explores some of the key current research and statistical evidence available on the global scale of trafficking in human beings, and considers the assumption that the occurrence of trafficking is increasing. The value and limitations of this statistical data is identified, as is the relationship between the research base and the resulting legal and policy responses. This allows an assessment of whether there is a connection between the perceived problem and the responses to trafficking victims’ circumstances. It questions whether assumptions, generalisations and policies can be based around the available data and the responsibilities of individual countries, including the UK and the wider international community, in relation to the improvement of data collection. The article also considers signs of progress in terms of data collection and suggests further future improvements that need to be made to the approach taken.
Trafficking of Women in Mexico and Their Health Risk: Issues and Problems
Authors: Acharya Arun Kumar
Published: February 2015

Trafficking in women is one of the most corrosive forms of human rights violation. It results in the gradual destruction of a woman’s personal identity and her right to live as a free human. The victim is subjected to violence, humiliation and violation of her personal integrity, which may result in life threatening diseases like HIV/AIDS, STDs or lifelong trauma, drug addiction or personality disintegration. It can also be seen as denial of the right to liberty and security of the person, and the right to freedom from torture, violence, cruelty or degrading treatment. Over the last few decades, international trafficking of women has been given more attention by researchers. However at present internal trafficking is drawing more attention and concern from researchers. The complexity of obtaining visas and strict patrolling on international borders has caused a boom of internal trafficking around the world. Thus, the current paper aims to investigate trafficking of women for sexual exploitation including the recruitment process, methods of trafficking and working conditions of the victims; as well as to explore the determinants of sexual violence and its impact on the health of trafficked women in Monterrey, Mexico. For the present study a total of 60 women were interviewed using a snowball method between 2007 and 2013.
Sinai Trafficking: Origin and Definition of a New Form of Human Trafficking
Authors: Van Reisen Mirjam , Rijken Conny
Published: February 2015

The phenomenon that is coined “Sinai Trafficking” started in 2009 in the Sinai desert. It involves the abduction, extortion, sale, torture, sexual violation and killing of men, women and children. Migrants, of whom the vast majority are from Eritrean descent, are abducted and brought to the Sinai desert, where they are sold and resold, extorted for very high ransoms collected by mobile phone, while being brutally and “functionally” tortured to support the extortion. Many of them die in Sinai. Over the last five years broadcasting stations, human rights organisations and academics have reported on the practices in the Sinai and some of these reports have resulted in some confusion on the modus operandi. Based on empirical research by the authors and the analysis of data gathered in more than 200 recorded interviews with Sinai hostages and survivors on the practices, this article provides a definition of Sinai Trafficking. It argues that the term Sinai Trafficking can be used to differentiate a particular new set of criminal practices that have first been reported in the Sinai Peninsula. The article further examines how the new phenomenon of Sinai Trafficking can be framed into the legal human trafficking definition. The interconnectedness of Sinai Trafficking with slavery, torture, ransom collection, extortion, sexual violence and other severe crimes is presented to substantiate the use of the trafficking framework. The plight of Sinai survivors in Israel and Egypt is explained to illustrate the cyclical process of the trafficking practices especially endured by Eritreans, introduced as the Human Trafficking Cycle. The article concludes by setting out areas for further research.
Safe Harbor Legislation for Juvenile Victims of Sex Trafficking: A Myopic View of Improvements in Practice
Authors: Mehlman-Orozco Kimberly
Published: February 2015

Current social and political realties have focused attention on human trafficking in the United States. Although new mechanisms for criminalizing offenders and protecting victims are increasingly funded and implemented across the country, empirical exploration into the efficacy of these interventions is lacking. This article uses yearly count data on juvenile prostitution arrests aggregated at the state level to explore the criminalization of commercial sexually exploited children post safe harbor policy implementation. Preliminary data from four states suggests that the passage of safe harbor laws may not reduce the number of juveniles arrested for prostitution crimes. Implications for future research are discussed.

A Call to Action: Training Public Health Students to Be Effective Agents for Social Change
Authors: Godwin Hilary , Heymann S. Jody
Published: February 2015

In the 21st century, we face enormous public health challenges that differ fundamentally from those of the last century, because these challenges involve widespread societal change and complexity.

To address these challenges, public health professionals need to be able to place their work in a larger social context, understand local and global perspectives on a deeper level, and effectively engage a wide variety of stakeholders. To confer these skills, we need to change the way we train our students.

We present two examples of low-cost innovative approaches to teaching public health that promote active engagement with individuals across a wide range of backgrounds and fields and that train students to be effective agents for change.
Service Learning: A Vehicle for Building Health Equity and Eliminating Health Disparities
Authors: Sabo Samantha , de Zapien Jill , Teufel-Shone Nicolette , Rosales Cecilia , Bergsma Lynda , Taren Douglas
Published: February 2015

Service learning (SL) is a form of community-centered experiential education that places emerging health professionals in community-generated service projects and provides structured opportunities for reflection on the broader social, economic, and political contexts of health.

We describe the elements and impact of five distinct week-long intensive SL courses focused on the context of urban, rural, border, and indigenous health contexts. Students involved in these SL courses demonstrated a commitment to community-engaged scholarship and practice in both their student and professional lives.

SL is directly in line with the core public health value of social justice and serves as a venue to strengthen community–campus partnerships in addressing health disparities through sustained collaboration and action in vulnerable communities.
Promoting Innovative Thinking
Authors: Ness Roberta B.
Published: February 2015

Innovation is the engine of scientific progress, yet we do not train public health students to think creatively. I present the key concepts within an evidence-based method currently taught at the University of Texas.

Habitual thought patterns involve deeply held framed expectations. Finding alternatives generates originality. Because frame breaking is difficult, a series of innovation heuristics and tools are offered including enhancing observation, using analogies, changing point of view, juggling opposites, broadening perspective, reversal, reorganization and combination, and getting the most from groups. Gaining cognitive attributes such as nonjudgment, willingness to question, mindfulness, and plasticity is also emphasized.

Students completing the class demonstrate substantial increases on a standardized test of idea fluency and originality, more joyful attitudes toward science, and more pluralistic approaches.

Published: February 2015

Curricular change is essential for maintaining vibrant, timely, and relevant educational programming. However, major renewal of a long-standing curriculum at an established university presents many challenges for leaders, faculty, staff, and students.

We present a case study of a dramatic curriculum renewal of one of the nation’s largest Master of Public Health degree programs: Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health.

We discuss context, motivation for change, the administrative structure established to support the process, data sources to inform our steps, the project timeline, methods for engaging the school community, and the extensive planning that was devoted to evaluation and communication efforts. We highlight key features that we believe are essential for successful curricular change.

Business Analysis: A Hotbed for Strategy Ideas
Authors: Menghini Paul , Stang Roy
Published: February 2015

_

Management - Paper (SPE 38778) originally presented at the 1997 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition held in San Antonio, Texas, 5-8 October.

The rapidly changing business environment of the 1990's forced the oil and gas industry to develop new corporate and regional strategies to remain competitive. To support strategy development, much attention has been given to such analytical tools as decision and risk analysis and probabilistic modeling. Often overlooked, however, is that a solid foundation of information and a thorough understanding of the underlying business environment are required for these tools to be effective. The business-analysis process provides this understanding and serves as a "hotbed" for new strategic ideas. This paper presents several business-analysis tools that enhance awareness of the business environment and provide the foundation of information necessary for sound strategic modeling. Examples from a recent study show how tools, such as influence diagrams, value-chain analysis, benchmarking, competitor analysis, scenario development, and strength and weakness analysis, are used.
