American Woodcock Singing-Ground Survey: Comparison of Four Models for Trend in Population Size
Authors: Sauer John R. , Link William A. , Seamans Mark E. , Rau Rebecca D.
Published: March 2021

Wildlife biologists monitor the status and trends of American woodcock Scolopax minor populations in the eastern and central United States and Canada via a singing-ground survey, conducted just after sunset along roadsides in spring. Annual analyses of the survey produce estimates of trend and annual indexes of abundance for 25 states and provinces, management regions, and survey-wide. In recent years, researchers have used a log-linear hierarchical model that defines year effects as random effects in the context of a slope parameter (the S model) to model population change. Recently, researchers have proposed alternative models suitable for analysis of singing-ground survey data. Analysis of a similar roadside survey, the North American Breeding Bird Survey, has indicated that alternative models are preferable for almost all species analyzed in the Breeding Bird Survey. Here, we use leave-one-out cross-validation to compare model fit for the present singing-ground survey model to fits of three alternative models, including a model that describes population change as the difference in expected counts between successive years (the D model) and two models that include t-distributed extra-Poisson overdispersion effects (H models) as opposed to normally distributed extra-Poisson overdispersion. Leave-one-out cross-validation results indicate that the Bayesian predictive information criterion favored the D model, but a pairwise t-test indicated that the D model was not significantly better-fitting to singing-ground survey data than the S model. The H models are not preferable to the alternatives with normally distributed overdispersion. All models provided generally similar estimates of trend and annual indexes suggesting that, within this model set, choice of model will not lead to alternative conclusions regarding population change. However, as in Breeding Bird Survey analyses, we note a tendency for S model results to provide slightly more extreme estimates of trend relative to D models. We recommend use of the D model for future singing-ground survey analyses.

Este trabalho é parte de uma pesquisa de mestrado, cujo objeto de estudo foi arquitetura escolar Waldorf. Os objetivos eram identificar os principais parâmetros de projeto dessa arquitetura específica e investigar se são referendados por especialistas em arquitetura escolar. Para tanto, foi realizada revisão bibliogáfica sobre arquitetura escolar em geral e Waldorf, sendo as principais fontes arquitetura, pedagogia e psicologia ambiental. Identificaram-se doze principais parâmetros de projeto Waldorf, todos de algum modo integrados entre si e com a proposta pedagógica adotada. Há proposições peculiares quanto à aplicação de cores e formatos nesses ambientes, defendidas por seus idealizadores. Para isso, não há comprovações científicas, ou consenso entre os especialistas, entretanto, todos os parâmetros são referendados em diferentes abordagens. Portanto, não se pode afirmar que apresente algo inovador, porém, o diferencial possivelmente seja a maneira como essa arquitetura é pensada, concedendo-lhe uma identidade própria, que conferiria territorialidade, senso de pertencimento e, consequentemente, satisfação a essa comunidade escolar.  Palavras-chave: Arquitetura Escolar, Arquitetura Orgânica, Processo de Projeto Participativo, Parâmetros de Projeto, Escola Waldorf ou Steiner.

Direito à saúde: uma análise dos limites do ativismo judicial para a efetividade do acesso à saúde
Authors: Teixeira Rodrigo Valente Giublin , Moraes Vinícius Caleffi de
Published: March 2021

Este estudo tem como objetivo principal compreender as possibilidades de o ativismo judicial promover a eficácia do direito à saúde. Assim, considera-se que o direito à saúde, conforme previsto pelo artigo 196 da Constituição Federal, assegura o acesso às políticas públicas de saúde com o atendimento integral e universal da população, para as condições mínimas de qualidade de vida. No entanto, como o poder público é omisso no seu dever constitucional de garantir os serviços de atendimento à saúde, de forma suficiente para a real eficácia do direito à saúde, procura-se compreender o ativismo judicial, como um meio de tornar efetivo o direito à saúde, por meio do exercício da função jurisdicional do Estado. Ao mesmo tempo que se questiona quais seriam limites para uma decisão judicial determinar a execução de políticas públicas de saúde de uma maneira adequada com as limitações do Estado. Para tanto, pela análise dos trabalhos acadêmicos sobre o tema, bem como sobre as decisões judiciais das cortes superiores, procede-se à análise dos direitos sociais, do direito fundamental à saúde, para ser possível concluir sobre as possibilidades do ativismo judicial na efetividade do direito à saúde.
Optimizing Pain Control and Minimizing Opioid Use in Trauma Patients
Authors: Fortune Shanna , Frawley Jennifer
Published: March 2021

Adverse effects of opioids and the ongoing crisis of opioid abuse have prompted providers to reduce prescribing opioids and increase use of multiple nonpharmacologic therapies, nonopioid analgesics, and co-analgesics for pain management in trauma patients. Nonopioid agents, including acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, gabapentinoids, ketamine, central α2 agonists, and lidocaine, can be used as adjuncts or alternatives to opioids in the trauma population. Complementary therapies such as acupuncture, virtual reality, and mirror therapy are modalities that also may be helpful in reducing pain. Performing pain assessments is fundamental to identify pain and evaluate treatment effectiveness in the critically ill trauma patient. The efficacy, safety, and availability of opioid-sparing therapies and multimodal pain regimens are reviewed.

Published: March 2021

Introduction:

Corticosteroids have become a mainstay of pharmacotherapy in dermatology because of their anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. However, misuse and sudden cessation of these drugs may render a patient to develop numerous adverse effects (AEs). Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are important causes of mortality in both hospitalized and ambulatory patients. Early detection, evaluation, and monitoring of ADRs are essential to reduce harm to patients. Therefore, to achieve optimum benefit with the least AEs, safe and effective use of these agents is very crucial.

Objective:

To examine the corticosteroid use pattern, to assess the frequency of misuse and the associated AEs that are encountered in dermatological practice.

Materials and Methods:

A prospective observational study was conducted in the dermatology department of a tertiary care teaching hospital, Warangal for a period of six months. All patients using at least one corticosteroid either topically or systemically were included in the study. Informed consent was taken from patients.

Results:

A total of 151 participants were included in the study. Among them, 56% of females developed ADRs compared with males (44%). Among patients using topical corticosteroids (TCs), the most frequently reported ADRs include facial erythema (7.31%), acne (17.07%), and hyperpigmentation of the face (2.43%). The AEs associated with oral corticosteroids include weight gain (19.51%) and taenia corporis (19.5%).

Conclusion:

Corticosteroids have extreme importance in dermatological practice. However, inappropriate and prolonged users render a patient to develop several AEs. Precise drug regimens and proper patient counseling can help in minimizing and managing the AEs associated with inappropriate use.
Strengthening the component of online assessments in medical education
Authors: Shrivastava Saurabh RamBihariLal , Shrivastava Prateek Saurabh
Published: March 2021

The emergence of coronavirus disease-2019 has accounted for major disruptions of all sectors, including medical education. As there was no clarity about the re-opening of medical institutions, we shifted from the conventional model to an online form of teaching-learning and assessment. The online assessments can be carried out in different ways and have been associated with a wide range of benefits for the teachers and the students. The online assessments tend to have multiple concerns as well, which are predominantly linked to the involved financial costs, internet issues, assessment of all the domains of learning, etc. Most of the above challenges in online assessments can be handled effectively by sustained administrative support, initial financial investment to establish the system, and the appointment of a qualified technical team to operate the system in the institution. In conclusion, online assessments among medical students have to be carried out to assess the progression of learning. The need of the hour is to overcome the prevailing challenges and strengthen the overall process of teaching-learning by addressing them better through administrative and technical support.

Critical Success Factors in Private Real-Estate Funds Performance from an Investor’s Perspective.
Authors:   , Nielsen Britta
Published: March 2021

Alternatives are increasingly part of the investment portfolio for most institutional investors and real estate is a significant item in this allocation. Non-listed real estate is one way to acquire real estate and the market for this has risen in Europe over the last two decades. Despite the high investment value, non-listed real estate funds have not been explored thoroughly in academic research. Most existing studies are quantitative and only focus on the UK. This study focuses on Germany and is qualitative. The research was conducted via semi-structured interviews with participants from Germany or those that have German clients. Market participants were investors, fund managers and consultants. Interviews were the main data source, supported by feedback from market participants and a case study. The findings of the research highlight that market participants are aware of the complex nature of non-listed real-estate funds and the results are visualised in a framework. However, not all success factors are incorporated in the performance measurement framework as it applies to a wide range of funds and focuses only on a few items. The four main perspectives are fund manager, fund structure, properties and financial aspects. This research contributes to academic understanding of the performance measurement of non-listed real estate funds which is not found in any other studies to date. It provides new insights into the success factors for non-listed real estate funds as seen by market participants. This includes the use of expert judgement (most probably including elements of gut feeling) and the dependence on very specific factors for the success of any fund. These findings have both academic and practical significance.

Pertambahan jumlah penduduk di Indonesia menjadi salah satu faktor pendorong pelaksanaan program swasembada daging sapi. Beberapa upaya dilakukan oleh pemerintah demi mencapai program swasembada daging sapi. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji sejauh mana program-program yang dilakukan untuk mencapai program swasembada daging sapi. Metode yang dilakukan berupa studi literatur. Banyaknya program Kementrian Pertanian yang dicanangkan membuat Kementrian Pertanian tidak fokus dalam pelaksanaan program, sehingga tidak ada satupun komoditi yang berhasil swasembada. Kontrol  jumlah sapi di Indonesia masih diperankan oleh importir. Program swasembada daging perlu dikaji ulang, mengingat program swasembada daging ini justru merugikan negara Indonesia dimana banyaknya pihak-pihak yang tidak bertanggung jawab memanfaatkan program swasembada daging sebagai ranah untuk korupsi. Pemerintah sebaiknya fokus terhadap program swasembada yang benar-benar mungkin dicapai, tidak terlalu banyak menargetkan swasembada. Pemerintah sebaiknya memuat target jangka pendek, menengah, dan panjang untuk pratinjau ulang pentingnya swasembada sapi.

Abstrak

Di Indonesia, tanaman bawang merah banyak dibudidayakan di daerah dataran rendah yang beriklim kering dengan suhu agak panas dan cuaca cerah. Produksi bawang merah sampai saat ini memang belum optimal dan masih tercermin dalam keragaman cara budidaya tempat bawang merah diusahakan.Bawang merah merupakan salah satu jenis sayuran yang digunakan sebagai bahan/bumbu penyedap makanan sehari-hari dan juga biasa dipakai sebagai obat tradisional atau bahan untuk industri makanan yang saat ini berkembang dengan pesat. Bawang merah menurut sejarah awalnya tanaman ini memiliki hubungan erat dengan bawang bombay, yaitu merupakan salah satu bentuk tanaman hasil seleksi yang terjadi secara alami terhadap varian-varian dalam populasi bawang Bombay. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, diangkat judul penelitian Saluran Pemasaran Bawang merah.  Penelitian ini bertujuan: (1) untuk mengetahui saluran pemasaran bawang  merah di Kelomok Tani Sukasari di Desa Belandingan, Kecamatan Kintamani, Kabupaten Bangli; (2) untuk mengetahui besarnya marjin pemasaran bawah merah di Kelomok Tani Sukasari di Desa Belandingan, Kecamatan Kintamani, Kabupaten Bangli.Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kelompok Tani Sukasari Di Desa Belandingan, Kecamatan Kintamani, Kabupaten Bangli. Penentuan lokasi penelitian dilakukan dengan metode”purposive sampling”atau dipilih secara sengaja. Jumlah petani sampel yang diambil adalah sebanyak 30 orang petani dari 80 orang petani populasi dengan menggunakan sampel random sampling.Hasil penelitian yang didapat bahwa  terdapat dua saluran pemasaran di Desa Blandingan, Kecamatan Kintamani, Kabupaten Bangli yaitu : Saluran I Petani Produsen – Pedagang Kelompok Tani --Super Market – Konsumen Akhir; Saluran II Petani Produsen-- Kelompok Tani –Suplayer –Pedagang Pengecer – Konsumen Akhir.  Pada saluran I yang paling banyak digunakan oleh petani yaitu sebanyak 24 orang petani(80%). Sedangkan pada saluran II sebanyak 6 orang petani (20%).  Hal itu disebabkan karena lebih banyak mendapat keuntungan, dimana biaya pemasaran pada saluran I lebih rendah yaitu Rp525 (1,9%) dari harga  jual per kilogram bawang merah.farmer’s share  yang didapat oleh petani lebih besar yaitu 92,6%..  Sedangakan pada saluran II hanya dilalui oleh 6 orang petani(20), karena biaya pemasarannya lebih tinggi yaitu Rp1.300 (5,2,)farmer’s share yaitu 88,8% (lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan saluran I.

En la era de los incas, hombres del sol, los chullpas pasaron a ser considerados hombres del pasado. Durante la conquista y la colonia, fueron llamados ñawpa runa, wari runa y gintil (gente de antaño). Durante este periodo los chullpas se embarcaron por las sendas de la invisibilidad. El tema que aborda este artículo es poco estudiado: pretendemos visibilizar la etnomedicina chullpa, la clasificación de sus practicantes, y el proceso de formación y preparación por etapas del nuevo yachaq (‘el que sabee’) entre los amsta chullpa del norte de Potosí.
Las asociaciones castellanas y leonesas en América como 'comunidades de memoria'
Authors: Dacosta Arsenio , Blanco Juan Andrés
Published: March 2021

Este artículo analiza las asociaciones fundadas por emigrantes castellanos y leoneses en América como ‘comunidades de memoria’, esto es, grupos humanos que se reconocen como afines en atención a un origen común percibido, en este caso, en relación con una región española de origen, Castilla y León. Para ello se analizan los símbolos y prácticas sociales que se desarrollan en las sedes asociativas como elemento central de dicha vinculación junto con la adscripción fundacional a una determinada localidad o provincia de aquella región. En este plano de resignificación han jugado un papel importante las relaciones establecidas con algunas instituciones españolas, como la universidad, las entidades locales o las instituciones regionales, mediadoras en la conformación de una ‘ciudadanía castellana y leonesa en el exterior’. En este sentido se discute hasta qué punto dicha ‘ciudadanía’ puede considerarse una ‘comunidad transnacional’.
Los emigrantes europeos a América
Authors: Monteagudo Robledo Jose Ignacio
Published: March 2021

En el estudio de la memoria escrita de las migraciones históricas a América desde el continente europeo en la época contemporánea, dos géneros discursivos sobresalen por su valor heurístico: las correspondencias y las historias de vida. Las investigaciones sobre ambos géneros promovidas desde el Centro de Estudios de la Emigración Castellana y Leonesa han pretendido enlazar con una larga tradición que no ha cesado de ramificarse. A partir de consideraciones sobre trabajos realizados o proyectados por el Centro, en una perspectiva comparada con los del entorno euroamericano, este artículo expone reflexiones y avanza propuestas para afrontar los retos del presente.
Introducción al Dossier: Memoria de la emigración española a América: El papel del asociacionismo
Authors: Dacosta Arsenio , Blanco Juan Andrés
Published: March 2021

La emigración ha sido, y es, un fenómeno crucial para comprender la historia contemporánea de España. Los contingentes migratorios de nuestro país se dirigen principalmente a América entre el último tercio del siglo XIX y los años 20 del siglo XX, aunque este proceso continuará después con desigual intensidad. El proceso implicó, según las estimaciones, el desplazamiento de casi 5 millones de españoles a América, principalmente hacia Argentina, Cuba y Brasil. Una de las principales materializaciones de este proceso fueron las asociaciones de emigrantes, creadas a centenares en todo el continente, muchas de ellas todavía vigentes. El mantenimiento de éstas se manifiesta en términos políticos, patrimoniales e identitarios. La finalidad de este conjunto de artículos es explorar cómo se ha gestionado la vinculación entre dichas asociaciones y España a través de proyectos de muy diversa naturaleza. A partir del análisis de esas experiencias memorialísticas (académicas, museísticas, archivísticas, institucionales, etc.) se ha pretendido abordar críticamente cómo se ha construido la ‘memoria colectiva’ de la emigración española a América en las últimas décadas.
Looking through a Different Window: Chronic Disease Management in Public Health. Application of Symbolic Interactionism and Institutional Ethnography
Authors: Knyahnytska Yuliya
Published: March 2021

Chronic diseases are defined as illnesses that are prolonged, do not resolve spontaneously and are rarely cured. They constitute 46% of the global burden of diseases and are responsible for 59% of deaths in Canada, tallying billions of dollars in annual medical expenditures. Regardless of the variety of available treatments, a vast majority of patients with chronic conditions report they do not receive the care they need or expect. The efficacy of chronic disease management (CDM) has been proven effective for the general population; the focus of this paper, however, is around populations who are less responsive to mainstream behaviour change interventions. Alternative conceptualizations of CDM could lend support for the development of models that target hard-to-reach populations who often have complex needs and for who typical interventions are reported to be less effective. This paper will explore two theoretical perspectives which provide the basis for alternative conceptualizations, symbolic interactionism (SI) and institutional ethnography (IE).
Evolution of a Background Check Policy in Higher Education
Authors: Owen Gregory
Published: March 2021

This article is the first of a short series of works designed to articulate the results and research approach I utilized in my dissertation Analysis of Background Check Policy in Higher Education. Results of my literature review on this topic demonstrated that in the higher education environment, lack of agreement about background checks between campus community members, fueled by unresolved tensions between security and privacy, has led many universities to adopt a patchwork of fragmented background check policies. In response to these unresolved tensions, fragmented policies, and an overall lack of systematic studies of background check policy in higher education, my dissertation broadly addressed the following: within Georgia Institute of Technology, what important documented campus events influenced and challenged the campus to consider, adopt, modify, and improve a formal background check policy? This was achieved through interviewing relevant constituents and analyzing all available/related official policy documents associated with Georgia Tech’s Pre-employment Background Check Policy and Program and presenting a chronological account of the events and influences associated with its adoption and revision. Results of this study offer valuable insights about background check policy development in order to assist higher education policy makers and HR professionals at other universities in making more informed decisions regarding same, or similar, policy.
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: The Construction of Othering in Edward Bliss Emerson's Caribbean Journal of 1831-1832
Authors: Simounet Alma
Published: March 2021

This paper examines the vocabulary, grammar structures and rhetorical devices that appear in Edward Emerson’s journal based on his trip to the Caribbean. The end-in-view is to identify the devices that Emerson utilized, mostly unconsciously, in his depiction and construction of others; in the case of this journal, of the peoples he encountered in the Caribbean. The methodological approach of critical discourse analysis guides this examination.
Challenges & Strategies for Conducting Qualitative Research with Persons Diagnosed with Rare Movement Disorders
Authors: LaDonna Kori , Ravenek Michael
Published: March 2021

Unique features of Huntington’s disease and young-onset Parkinson’s disease, both neurodegenerative movement disorders, can pose challenges for conducting qualitative research. From the perspectives of two doctoral candidates conducting research with these groups, a number of challenges are presented and discussed alongside strategies for managing such challenges. Challenges are organized according to physical (e.g., movement), psychological (e.g., cognition) and social (e.g., speech impairment) aspects of these diseases. The strategies presented emphasize the importance of ethical reasoning in situations that can arise, as well as the relationships developed with the research participants. Author transparency and ethical reasoning are both important in conducting quality qualitative research. It is hoped that presenting these challenges and strategies will promote greater dialogue on such issues, and help researchers enable more people with rare movement disorders to participate in qualitative research.
Edward Bliss Emerson, the Medical Tourist
Authors: Géigel Wilfredo
Published: March 2021

Traveling for health reasons was not an unusual event for wealthy and wellto-do members of society both in North America and Europe in the early 19th century. Edward Bliss Emerson is an example of those who traveled for health reasons. Books and newspapers at that time, like today, incited the infirm to travel to far-away places where the climate and the surroundings would take care of their ills. This essay will look at medical tourism, especially in the Caribbean, as seen through the eyes of Edward Emerson.
Edward Bliss Emerson: The Blazing Star of a Complex Constellation
Authors: Rabionet Silvia
Published: March 2021

Edward Bliss Emerson, a younger brother of Ralph Waldo Emerson and a promising scholar in his own right, traveled to the West Indies at the age of 26 hoping to alleviate his pulmonary afflictions. While in the islands, from January 1831 to July 1832, he logged his daily activities in a pocket journal. The journal falls short in revealing Edward’s childhood, his years at Harvard, and his brief time as teacher and lawyer. This biographical essay aims to enhance the understanding and enjoyment of the journal. It unveils defining stages in Edward’s life. Using a wide variety of archival documents, the author illustrates how Edward adapted to new circumstances and places, while renewing his quests for health, education and purpose.
Ideology and Etiology in the Treatment of Edward Bliss Emerson's Pulmonary Consumption
Authors: Ramírez de Arellano Annette
Published: March 2021

Although Edward Bliss Emerson’s life had unusual promise, his death was quite ordinary: he died of pulmonary consumption, which accounted for one in five deaths in the 1830s. He went to the West Indies in search of a more healthful climate, and sought it in St. Croix and Puerto Rico. But his quest was short-lived, and he died in 1834 at the age of 29. Because there was no consensus on the cause of consumption, treatment for the condition varied widely, and included a number of nostrums and therapies that may be considered “self-care.” Edward adopted a series of practices that he documented in his journal, therefore providing us with the range of lifestyle interventions and other therapies that were seen as desirable, and the belief systems informing these at the time. These practices ranged from the medically-sanctioned to the highly personal and idiosyncratic, and suggest a variety of holistic approaches to addressing an illness for which there was no “magic bullet.”
An Evaluation of Virginia Gold: A Medicaid Program to Improve Nursing Facility Quality of Care
Authors: Craver Gerald , Burkett Amy , Kimsey Karen
Published: March 2021

A qualitative case study design employing focus groups was used to evaluate certified nursing assistant (CNA) (n = 26) and resident (n = 30) perceptions of the Virginia Gold Quality Improvement Program, a Medicaid funded 2-year quality improvement intervention piloted in five nursing facilities. As part of the program, the nursing facilities implemented quality improvement projects to develop supportive work environments in an effort to reduce CNA turnover and improve quality of care. Overall, the focus group participants viewed Virginia Gold positively and reported that CNA turnover decreased, while care quality improved during the program. These findings are supported by a previous Virginia Gold evaluation as well as by the results from a quantitative analysis of nursing facility CNA turnover and quality of care data and interviews with selected nursing facility management staff (n = 7) 1-year following the program’s culmination. A key finding from the management interviews is that the quality improvement projects became self-sustaining over time allowing all five nursing facilities to continue the projects without state funding.
