Subvertir la médecine, politiser la santé en quartiers populaires
Authors: Mariette Audrey , Pitti Laure
Published: September 2021

Cet article étudie les processus de politisation de la médecine et de la santé en quartiers populaires durant les années 1970 en croisant une approche comparative internationale et une analyse des circulations transnationales de la critique sociale, entre la France et le Québec. Il se centre sur les dynamiques contestataires portées par différents groupes professionnels dans le champ de la santé – en particulier médecins et travailleur·euse·s sociales, en France, ou « organisateur.rice.s communautaires », au Québec – et sur les pratiques qu’ont pu recouvrir, à compter des années 1970, une médecine attentive à la question sociale ou une santé dite communautaire à l’échelle locale. L’article analyse d’abord ces expériences critiques du pouvoir médical en France durant les années 1970 pour rendre compte des similitudes et des différences avec celles menées à la même période au sein de la province canadienne francophone, dans une autre configuration politique et étatique. Il revient ensuite sur les circulations transnationales de ces formes de politisation de la médecine et de la santé, et étudie leurs évolutions au tournant des années 1980. Ce faisant, l’article discute la thèse de la mise sous silence de la critique sociale par le néolibéralisme à compter des années 1980.

Feux d’artifice
Authors: Ruiz Thierry
Published: September 2021

Regarder le monde, la réalité en face, avec ses propres yeux ouverts. Rester éveillé pour penser. Être sujet. Exercer sa raison lorsque l’on se propose de la terroriser. Mettre des mots sur les images, une fois l’émotion passée. Puissance de la parole et de l’image quand elles s’unissent. Apprendre à voir et penser à ceux qui viennent après nous, les inciter à voir et penser comme à une activité indispensable, qui imprègne et enrichit toutes les autres. Pour les rendre plus libres, et nos vies plus riches et plus intenses.
Penser l’intersubjectivité. Une lecture du livre VIII du De Trinitate d’Augustin
Authors: Lagouanère Jérôme
Published: September 2021

Une tradition critique, notamment illustrée par Anders Nygren, par Hannah Arendt ou, plus récemment, par Martha C. Nussbaum, considère que la doctrine augustinienne de l’amour tend à privilégier l’amour de Dieu aux dépens de l’amour dû au prochain. Dans cet article, Jérôme Lagouanère interroge cette tradition en proposant une lecture d’un extrait du livre VIII du De Trinitate . Or, une lecture rigoureuse dudit texte, qui s’appuie sur les ressources de la critique philologique et de la contextualisation de l’extrait, montre qu’Augustin, loin de négliger l’amour dû au prochain, pense l’autrui humain comme une dimension essentielle de la trinité de l’amour.
Mixed Integer Programming Models on Scheduling Automated Stacking Cranes
Authors: Gharehgozli Amir , Gharehgozli Orkideh , Li Kunpeng
Published: September 2021

Automated deep-sea container terminals are the main hubs to move millions of containers in today's global supply chains. Terminal operators often decouple the landside and waterside operations by stacking containers in stacks perpendicular to the quay. Traditionally, a single automated stacking cranes (ASC) is deployed at each stack to handle containers. A recent trend is to use new configurations with more than one crane to improve efficiency. A variety of new configurations have been implemented, such as twin, double, and triple ASCs. In this paper, the authors explore and review the mixed integer programming models that have been developed for the stacking operations of these new configurations. They further discuss how these models can be extended to contemplate diverse operational constraints including precedence constraints, interference constraints, and other objective functions.

Authors: Guimaraes Tor , Paranjape Ketan
Published: September 2021

To assess the impact of big data analytics (BDA) on company decision making, data was collected from 225 company top managers and chief data officers in charge of the BDA group to empirically test this relationship. The data represents a sample of companies which have formally implemented BDA for at least three years with varying degrees of success. Despite considerable differences from company to company, on average the results corroborated the importance of the BDA function along four dimensions (BDA tools and methods, personnel technical proficiency, company readiness, and applications quality) in supporting company decision making toward business innovation. Managers responsible for implementing BDA in their companies should seriously consider these findings to improve the likelihood of success in their projects. The results also call for the identification of other potential determinants for BDA success as a tool for company innovation, as well as potential moderators and mediators for inclusion in a more comprehensive model.

Investigating Effects of Self-Efficacy and Infrastructure on Teachers' ICT Use, an Extension of UTAUT
Authors: Kundu Arnab , Bej Tripti , Dey Kedar Nath
Published: September 2021

The purpose of this empirical study was to investigate the effect of two important factors, self-efficacy and ICT infrastructure, on the teachers’ ability of ICT use in school pedagogy. The study employed a descriptive survey method within an ex-post-facto research design taking 400 teachers as samples from hundred purposively selected Indian secondary schools. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Results revealed that perception of self-efficacy and infrastructure were significant predictors of the teachers’ ability of ICT use. The two independent variables were found to have a high collective prediction on the teachers’ ability. Though, separate analyses revealed that self-efficacy having a deeper prediction on the teachers’ ICT ability than the infrastructure. The findings support the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model (an extension of TAM) and made a further extension with two selected factors, one included in the facilitating conditions and the other in the users’ behavioral intention in the original UTAUT model.

Aerodynamic Interactions on Airbus Helicopters' Compound Helicopter RACER in Hover
Authors: Frey Felix , Thiemeier Jakob , Öhrle Constantin , Keßler Manuel , Krämer Ewald
Published: September 2021

In recent years, helicopter manufacturers have developed an increasing number of nonconventional configurations in order to extend flight envelopes of helicopters towards higher cruise speed. Airbus Helicopters' approach is the compound helicopter RACER, which is equipped with a boxwing
and lateral pusher rotors. As the combination of these components with the main rotor induces a variety of mutual interactions, influencing their individual aerodynamic performance depending on the flight conditions, the understanding of these interactions is vital for the evaluation of the
overall system. For this reason, the respective mutual influence of main rotor, wings, and lateral rotors is analyzed in this paper for hover. With the help of high-fidelity coupled aerodynamic simulations for the full RACER (Rapid And Cost-Efficient Rotorcraft) configuration as well as for
setups omitting individual components, first- and second-order interactions of these components are isolated and analyzed for their effect on the helicopter's aerodynamic performance.
Closing the knowledge gap in Malaysian pharmacists: A virtual Allergic Rhinitis Boot Camp initiative
Authors: Abdullah Baharudin , Ramli Ramiza Ramza , Shukri Norasnieda Md , Mohamad Sakinah
Published: September 2021

Background: In primary care, general practitioners (GPs) and pharmacists are at the frontline to identify, classify and manage patients suffering from allergic rhinitis (AR). The Allergic Rhinitis and its impact on Asthma (ARIA) guidelines aid clinicians in disease management by providing evidence-based recommendations. A recently published ASEAN primary care survey demonstrated that the awareness of ARIA guidelines was high among GPs but notably lower in pharmacists. Hence, this study seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of a Boot Camp education initiative in bridging the unmet needs in pharmacist awareness and education.Methods: The boot camp was organised as a virtual event. The participants answered the same questionnaire before (pre-assessment) and immediately after (post-assessment) the boot camp session. Statistical analysis was performed on the data paired between the pre- and post- assessments using SPSS v. 25.0 software.Results: The boot camp survey results showed that second-generation oral antihistamines and allergen avoidance are the most preferred options for AR treatment in pharmacy practice, irrespective of the disease severity. In both pre- and post-assessments, efficacy was ranked as the most important factor considered for choosing an antihistamine and which affects patient adherence. With the boot camp initiative, there was a statistically significant increase in awareness about the patient profiling tool (from 31.6% to 88.2%) and ARIA guidelines (from 40.4% to 91.2%) among the pharmacists (p<0.05). The proportion of pharmacists who were able to identify, classify and refer AR patients was significantly increased in post-assessment (p<0.05). Post the boot camp, among the proportion of pharmacists (91.2%) who were already aware of ARIA, a high percentage of them further agreed that ARIA guidelines were useful in identifying and treating patients with AR, as well as classifying AR, respectively (97.6%, 95.2%, and 93.5%).Conclusions: Based on improvements in knowledge and understanding of disease management post assessment, the Allergic Rhinitis Boot Camp initiative is effective and relevant to pharmacy practice. Outreach programs like this reiterate the emphasis on patient compliance and importance of utilizing ARIA guidelines in pharmacy practice that facilitates better management of AR in primary care.
False-Positive Rates and Associated Risk Factors on the Vestibular-Ocular Motor Screening and Modified Balance Error Scoring System in US Military Personnel
Authors: Kontos Anthony P. , Monti Katrina , Eagle Shawn R. , Thomasma Eliot , Holland Cyndi L. , Thomas Drew , Bitzer Hannah B. , Mucha Anne , Collins Michael W.
Published: September 2021

Context

In 2018, the US military developed the Military Acute Concussion Evaluation-2 (MACE-2) to inform the acute evaluation of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). However, researchers have yet to investigate false-positive rates for components of the MACE-2, including the Vestibular-Ocular Motor Screening (VOMS) and modified Balance Error Scoring System (mBESS), in military personnel.

Objective

To examine factors associated with false-positive results on the VOMS and mBESS in US Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) personnel.

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

Military medical clinic.

Patients or Other Participants

A total of 416 healthy USASOC personnel completed the medical history, VOMS, and mBESS evaluations.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

False-positive rates for the VOMS (≥2 on VOMS symptom items, >5 cm for near point of convergence [NPC] distance) and mBESS (total score >4) were determined using χ2 analyses and independent-samples t tests. Multivariable logistic regressions (LRs) with adjusted odds ratios (aORs) were performed to identify risk factors for false-positive results on the VOMS and mBESS. The VOMS item false-positive rates ranged from 10.6% (smooth pursuits) to 17.5% (NPC). The mBESS total score false-positive rate was 36.5%.

Results

The multivariable LR model supported 3 significant predictors of VOMS false-positives, age (aOR = 1.07; 95% CI = 1.02, 1.12; P = .007), migraine history (aOR = 2.49; 95% CI = 1.29, 4.81; P = .007), and motion sickness history (aOR = 2.46; 95% CI = 1.34, 4.50; P = .004). Only a history of motion sickness was a significant predictor of mBESS false-positive findings (aOR = 2.34; 95% CI = 1.34, 4.05; P = .002).

Conclusions

False-positive rates across VOMS items were low and associated with age and a history of mTBI, migraine, or motion sickness. False-positive results for the mBESS total score were higher (36.5%) and associated only with a history of motion sickness. These risk factors for false-positive findings should be considered when administering and interpreting VOMS and mBESS components of the MACE-2 in this population.

Authors: Wallace Jessica , Hou Brian Q. , Hajdu Katherine , Tang Alan R. , Grusky Alan Z. , Lee Timothy , Zuckerman Scott L. , Yengo-Kahn Aaron M.
Published: September 2021

Context

Care-seeking behaviors for sport-related concussion (SRC) are not consistent across demographic subgroups. Not only may these differences stem from health inequities, but they can perpetuate disparities in care for SRCs.

Objective

To determine whether racial differences existed in the care pathway from injury to SRC clinic of adolescent athletes.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

Regional SRC center.

Patients or Other Participants

Of 582 total athletes, 96 (16.5%) Black and 486 (83.5%) White adolescent athletes were diagnosed with SRC and evaluated within 3 months at the SRC clinic.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Race was the defined exposure, dichotomized as Black or White. The 4 primary outcomes were (1) location of the first health system contact, (2) time from injury to the first health system contact, (3) time to the in-person SRC clinic visit, and (4) whether the athlete established care (>1 visit), was released immediately to an athletic trainer, or was lost to follow-up.

Results

Black and White athletes mostly presented directly to the SRC clinic (61.5% versus 62.3%) at a median (interquartile range) of 3 (1–5) and 4 (1–8) days, respectively (P = .821). Similar proportions of Black and White athletes also first presented to the emergency department (30.2% and 27.2%) at a median of 0 (0–1) versus 0 (0–1) days, respectively (P = .941). Black athletes more frequently had care transferred to their athletic trainer than White athletes (39.6% versus 29.6%) and less frequently established care (56.3% versus 64.0%), respectively; however, these differences were not statistically significant (P = .138). Loss to follow-up was uncommon among Black (4.2%) and White (6.4%) athletes alike.

Conclusions

Within an established SRC referral network and multidisciplinary clinic, no racial disparities were observed in how athletes were initially managed or ultimately presented to the SRC clinic despite racial differences in school type and insurance coverage. The SRC center assimilation and affiliation with school systems may be helpful in improving access and providing equitable care across diverse patient demographics.
Early Cambrian maximum depositional age for the upper Yelverton Formation, northern Ellesmere Island, Nunavut
Authors: Hadlari T , Matthews W A
Published: September 2021

U-Pb detrital zircon analysis of sandstone samples collected from northern Ellesmere Island during the summer of 2017 provides new depositional age constraints for the Yelverton Formation. Two samples from the same outcrop locality near the top of the formation
have yielded an Early Cambrian maximum depositional age (MDA) of 532.1 ± 9.1 Ma. Because the overlying Grantland Formation contains late Early Cambrian trilobites (Oldhamia), we conclude that the uppermost Yelverton Formation is Early Cambrian. A near-depositional age fraction of detrital
zircon is interpreted as a proxy for the age of igneous rocks within the Yelverton Formation, which is conservatively estimated as ranging from 551.1 ± 8.9 Ma to 532.1 ± 9.1 Ma.
Relación entre diversos usos de las redes sociales, emociones y voto en España
Authors: Rivera Otero José Manuel , Lagares Diez Nieves , Pereira López María , Jaráiz Gulías Erika
Published: September 2021

Introducción: El objetivo que persigue este trabajo es analizar si los diversos usos que los ciudadanos realizan de las redes sociales tienen relación con el voto a los partidos políticos y con las emociones que los ciudadanos sienten hacia los líderes políticos. De ser así, podríamos asumir que la plataformización es un proceso politizado y emocionado y que esa politización y emocionalidad del proceso vincula el tipo de uso que los ciudadanos hacen de las redes. Metodología: Este trabajo se ha planteado como un estudio de caso mediante un enfoque metodológico cuantitativo que plantea tanto un análisis descriptivo e interdependencia de los datos. Resultados: el análisis del consumo de redes en función del voto muestra la existencia de un patrón diferenciado en función de este último. Una tendencia que se replica en lo relativo al uso específico de las redes concretas. Discusión: los datos respecto a la expresión emocional de enfado y miedo concuerdan con las posturas defendidas en la literatura. Conclusiones: estos hallazgos se suman a los ya existentes respecto a la importancia de las redes como “cámaras de eco” que amplifican los debates que en ellas se producen, en una suerte de “espiral emocional”.

Developing countries like Pakistan have previously suffered from barriers to acceptance of vaccination by the public because of financial and belief barriers. This study aims to explore these beliefs and highlight concerns regarding vaccine hesitancy in the general population of Pakistan since they are a hindrance to an effective coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) immunization in the country. A cross-sectional study was performed involving 1,778 participants from all four provinces of Pakistan. Results from the study showed more than half of the participants to be unsure of the safety (50%) and efficacy (51%) of the vaccine, whereas 42% were concerned about the side effects of the vaccine. About 72% of the respondents planned to get vaccinated, whereas 28% refused to do so. Internationally made imported vaccines were more trusted by the participants. Forty-four percent of the participants agreed to receive the vaccine upon recommendation from a physician. Lastly, participants who believed in the efficacy of the polio vaccination also considered the COVID-19 vaccine to be safe and effective.

Abordarea serviciilor ecosistemice în certificarea forestieră FSC: studiu de caz pentru pădurile cu valoare ridicată de conservare din ocoale silvice de regim
Authors: Scriban Ramona-Elena , Nichiforel Liviu
Published: September 2021

Articolul prezintă o analiză a importanței procesului de certificare forestieră în identificarea și gestionarea serviciilor ecosistemice furnizate de Pădurile cu Valoare Ridicată de Conservare (PVRC). Datele au fost colectate din 13 rapoarte PVRC disponibile publicului larg care acoperă o suprafață totală de pădure de 117.507 ha. Procesul de identificare a PVRC a presupus cartarea a 28.882 ha de pădure care furnizează valori de conservare. Analiza datelor calitative ale rapoartelor s-a axat pe sursele de date folosite în procesul de identificare a PVRC, grupate în cinci categorii: (i) amenajamente silvice; (ii) planuri de management ale ariilor naturale protejate; (iii) alte surse de date disponibile; (iv) consultări publice cu factorii interesați și (v) implicarea personalului silvic. Rezultate au arătat că 80% din zonele identificate ca PVRC provin din informațiile obținute din amenajamentele silvice. Acestea fac referire la serviciile ecosistemice de reglare (protecția apelor, eroziunea solului și calitatea aerului) și la pădurile încadrate în zona de protecție strictă a ariilor naturale protejate. Procesul de identificare PVRC ajută la armonizarea între planurile de management Natura 2000 și amenajamentele silvice, în special, prin cartarea prezenței speciilor rare și amenințate și a habitatelor. O valoare adăugată de procesul PVRC este identificarea serviciilor culturale prin consultări publice cu factorii interesați și implicarea personalului de teren. Serviciile adiționale identificate în procesul de certificare oferă exemple pentru măsuri financiare prin care statul ar putea să recompenseze proprietarii de păduri pentru furnizarea de servicii ecosistemice peste limita cerută legal de amenajamente. În concluzie, analiza subliniază faptul ca amenajarea pădurilor oferă un cadru riguros de identificare a serviciilor ecosistemice forestiere, certificarea forestieră adăugând însă cerințe suplimentare de gestionare și de monitorizare a gradului de furnizarea a serviciilor ecosistemice.
Evaluarea și prognoza riscurilor biotice în pădurile din Ucraina
Authors: Meshkova Valentyna
Published: September 2021

În această lucrare se prezintă o serie de modalități privind evaluarea impactului dăunătorilor din plantațiile tinere (în plantațiile de pin silvestru cu vârsta până la 5-7 ani), a defoliatorilor, precum și a insectelor xilofage. În cazul plantațiilor tinere se prezintă o modalitate de a evalua efectul vătămării diferitelor organe ale puieților de pin silvestru asupra supraviețuirii (mortalității), a ratei de creștere și a calității tulpinii, având în vedere vătămările produse asupra acelor, mugurilor, tulpinii, ramurilor, coletului și rădăcinilor, prin analiza simptomelor directe și indirecte.
Vătămările produse de dăunători asupra aparatului foliar a arborilor sunt evaluate pe baza datelor privind densitatea populației critice și efective de dăunători, biomasa frunzișului din arbore și rata de hrănire a speciilor de insecte analizate. Biomasa frunzișului principalelor specii de arbori din arboretele artificiale sau naturale de pe teritoriul Ucrainei este folosită ca și reper pentru evaluarea stării de sănătate a arborelui. Astfel, densitatea populației larvelor necesară pentru a consuma 100% din frunzișul unui arbore sănătos este de 1,25, 2,5 și 6,25 ori mai mare pentru arborii de clasa 1, față de cei din clasele a 2-a, a 3-a și a 4-a. De asemenea sunt prezentate exemple privind evaluarea densității critice a populației de defoliatori și a riscului de defoliere pentru mai multe insecte polifage, atunci când se hrănesc pe stejar și frasin.
Evaluarea vătămărilor fiziologice, tehnice și generale produse de mai mult de 200 de insecte xilofage prezente pe rășinoase și foioase se face pe baza sistemului de notare și clasificare propus de Mozolevskaya. Astfel, aceiași specie de insectă poate fi nedăunătoare, slab, moderat sau foarte dăunătoare, pentru diferiți arbori gazdă aflați în diferite regiuni, în funcție de densitatea populației și de factorii suplimentari care slăbesc arborii analizați.

Military Themes in Selected Eighteenth-Century Prayer Books in Relation to the Emblem Tradition
Authors: Słomak Iwona
Published: September 2021

This paper was inspired by the lack of studies that would show examples of military-erotic symbols in religious literature associated with the emblem tradition. The works discussed here, namely prayer books by Andrzej Gabriel Kasperowicz, anonymous Atak niebieskiej twierdzy [The attack of the heavens or The attack into the fortress of heavens] and Wojsko serdecznych afektów [The army of heartfelt affections] by Hieronim Falęcki, retain high formal and semantic discipline; as a result, they are examples of interesting phenomena of Baroque culture. In the first part of the study, Słomak presents three prayer books in which the concept is based on an analogy with the organisation of the army of Christ. In the second part, she presents a book in which the theme of war is combined with the theme of “holy erotica”. In part three, she discusses a print whose composition refers to the structure of military detachments. It is conceived as a collection of “affections” whose task is “to conquer” heaven and the hearts of readers. Characteristically, the formula of the discussed books will be understandable only if we reconstruct their reference to the popular allegorical images (to be found in the collections of emblems, in many treatises on religious themes or in descriptions of the great ceremonies of that era); therefore, it is necessary to take into account the emblematic model that clearly influenced their final shape.

Aim: The present study aimed to carry out a literature review about biocorrosion as an etiological factor of non-carious lesions and dentin hypersensitivity. Method: The bibliographic search was performed in the PubMed and Virtual Health Library (VHL)databases, selecting articles published from 2015 to 2020, available in full text, in Portuguese and English, and related to the proposed theme. Results: In the studies included, it was observed that substances with low pH, high titratable acidity, some lifestyles, and occupational habits are factors that can directly interfere with dental demineralization. As a consequence of this process, non-carious lesions and dental hypersensitivity have increased their incidence. Conclusion: The main sources of acids that attack dental structure are food and beverages and endogenous acids of gastric content. Thus, it must be considered themultifactorial character of this process and the association with other etiological factors, such as tension and friction in the development of non-carious lesions, aiming to restore oral health to the patient.

Authors: Kutz Matthew , Dyer Stephanie , Campbell Brain

Context: Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory identifies nine “intelligences” (i.e., ways of learning) that help individuals acquire and apply knowledge in relevant contexts. Objective: To explore athletic training students’ (ATS) dominant intelligences and to observe if “intelligences” differ according to selected demographic variables. Design: The Multiple Intelligence Inventory (MII) was used to identify the dominant intelligences of ATS’s. Setting: Athletic training students actively engaged in a CAATE-accredited educational program. Participants: Eighty-five (85) ATSs participated in the study; mean age 21±1.9; 58% were female and 42% male. Thirty-four (40%) were in their second semester, 15 (18%) were in their third semester, 16 (19%) were in their fourth semester, and 24 (20%) were in at least their fifth semester. Main Outcome Measures: Descriptive statistics and frequencies were used to report distribution of multiple intelligences, independent t-tests and ANOVA (Tukey post hoc) were used to measure differences (p=.05) between ATS. Paired t-tests compared differences in intelligences ratings and coefficient alpha was used for internal consistency of the MII. Results: Internal consistency for the MII was acceptable (α=.85). Kinesthetic was rated highest, M=8.0±1.6 (scale 1-10) and was higher than the other intelligences t(84)=4.2 to 16.6 (p=.000); second was intrapersonal (M=6.89±2.2). Verbal intelligence was the lowest, M=3.85±1.8; and was lower than the other intelligences t(84)=-4.0 to -16.6 (p=.000). With one exception, independent t-tests and ANOVA comparisons found no differences between ATS’s in the demographic variables measured (i.e., semester in school, age, level in ATEP, gender, ethnicity). Only differences in existential intelligence were noted between semesters and year in school F(3,81)=3.26 (p=.03); F(2,82)=4.62 (p=.013).Conclusions: Kinesthetic intelligence (i.e., hands-on) was the most dominant among ATS and verbal intelligence (i.e., auditory) was the lowest. The presence of certain intelligence may be attributed to factors other than gender, ethnicity, or semester in school.

Purpose: Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing during exercise is referred to as exercise-induced dyspnea (EID), and is a common complaint from athletes. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of EID among college aged athletes and to explore the medical encounters, including diagnostic testing, arising from this complaint. Method: We surveyed intercollegiate (n=122) and club sport (n=103) athletes regarding their experience with EID, including medical diagnoses, diagnostic procedures, environmental factors, and treatment effectiveness. Results: Fifty-two percent of respondents (n=112) reported episodes of EID. Intercollegiate and club sport athletes did not differ in regard to the prevalence of EID, utilization of health provider services, or diagnoses. Sixty-six percent of respondents with EID reported a physician visit secondary to EID with resulting diagnoses of asthma, EIB, allergies, stress reaction, and vocal cord dysfunction, or a combination of two or more of these conditions. Less than 30% of those diagnosed with asthma and/or EIB reported a diagnosis based on a pulmonary function test. Conclusions and Recommendations: EID is a common, yet complex, condition that appears to be as prevalent in club sports as it is in intercollegiate athletics. Asthma and exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB) are the most familiar diagnoses associated with EID, though many conditions present with similar symptoms. Objective diagnostic testing was not commonly reported among college-aged athletes with asthma or EIB in this study. This finding conflicts with recent evidence-based recommendations for objective testing for athletes with EID to ensure appropriate and effective treatment plans.
Role-Emergent Model: An Effective Strategy to Address Clinical Placement Shortages

Published: September 2021

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of an advanced pharmacy practice experience (APPE) delivered at “role-emergent” placement sites within long-term care (LTC) facilities that are preceptored by off-site community pharmacists.Method: Seven LTC facilities participated: five newly recruited test sites preceptored by off-site pharmacists who supervised students remotely (“role-emergent” placements), and two previously established hospital-based facilities with on-site pharmacists who provided continuous student supervision (“role-established” placements) as a comparison group. Students participated in pre-APPE training. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to obtain student learning performance on 13 pre-defined learning objectives and 21 indicators of site resources and skills-development opportunities. Structured open-ended feedback questions and reflective student observations elicited more personal and situational experiences. These combined with faculty reviews of student documentation of their patient care delivery encounters and LTC Staff perspectives enabled comparisons between the two APPE formats. Results: A total of 23 students participated: three at role-established and 20 at role-emergent sites. Evaluations indicated that all students successfully completed their learning objectives. Some differences were apparent – for example students at role-emergent sites expressed a desire for more one-to-one time with their pharmacy preceptor, but they also benefitted from more inter-professional collaboration and interacted with a broader range of health professionals than students with on-site APPE preceptors. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that equivalent but non-identical learning occurs at LTC locations with off-site preceptors (role-emergent) as in role-established hospital-based settings with on-site preceptors. Importantly, it also opens opportunities for many new APPE placement opportunities since there about three times as many LTC facilities as acute care hospitals in our jurisdiction.

BACKGROUND: Athletic trainer retention has been topic of concern for 20 years, with one study indicating a drastic decline within ten years of becoming certified. Burnout, life-work balance, role strain, socialization, salary, in addition to other constructs are potential reasons for a lack of retention. An assessment of individuals who have left the athletic training profession is lacking; therefore, the purpose of this study was to discover the reasons why athletic trainers leave the profession of athletic training. DESIGN: Web-based survey. Qualtrics® was used to survey of 1000 individuals who let their athletic training certification lapse within 5 years of the study. SUBJECTS: Of the 198 (response rate=23%) respondents, the majority were female (n=119, 60%), married (n=149, 75%) with children (n= 127, 64%). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The survey included demographic information and 5-point Likert matrices of factors that contribute to retention. The data were analyzed for demographic and factor analysis information. RESULTS: The data suggests that items of burnout including clinical depression, role strain, ethical and social strain, feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and decreasing sleep consistently contribute to leaving the athletic training profession (44.8% of variability). Employment factors accounted for 10.5% of the variability with variables such as travel demands, work hours, role overload, staffing, work environment, and lack of administrative support contributing to leaving the profession. Personal characteristics (4.5%) and personal fit (9.7%) also contributed variability in the data. CONCLUSIONS: Retention appears to be driven by some extrinsic (burnout and employment) and some intrinsic (personal characteristics and fit) variables. Additional inquiry into the personal factors for persistence may help to better identify those that are more likely to stay in athletic training.

Purpose: Mentoring is a process and a relationship between a novice and an expert that fosters intellectual, personal and professional growth. The purposes of this article are to describe: 1) the structured academic component of a comprehensive mentoring program for students in a physical therapy program; and 2) the perceptions of faculty and students regarding this academic mentoring program. Method: Faculty and students completed electronic questionnaires developed specifically for each group. Results: Return rate was 54.50% (N=286) for students and 100% (N=18) for faculty. Overall, student positive response rates regarding the effect of the mentoring program on educational experiences, value of the program and communication with faculty mentor all exceeded 90.00%. Faculty responses revealed 88.89% agreed their mentees benefited from meeting with them regarding academic issues, 94.12% believed the mentoring program was valuable, and 82.35% thought the program was worth the time spent participating in it. Conclusion:Faculty mentors and student mentees perceived that students benefited from academic mentoring and that the mentoring program was valuable and worth the time spent participating in it. Other academic units may use this process as a basis for critical dialogue for developing the desired academic mentoring system for that particular academic unit.
