Quality Improvement Program to Reduce the Prevalence of Pressure Ulcers in an Intensive Care Unit
Authors: Elliott Rosalind , McKinley Sharon , Fox Vicki 
Published: March 2020

Background Critically ill patients are at increased risk for pressure ulcers, which increase patients’ morbidity and mortality. Quality improvement projects decrease the frequency of pressure ulcers.
Objectives To improve patients’ outcomes by reducing the prevalence of pressure ulcers, identifying areas for improvement in prevention of pressure ulcers, and increasing the adoption of preventive strategies in an intensive care unit.
Method Quasi-experimental methods were used for this quality improvement project in which 563 surveys of patients’ skin were performed during 22 audits conducted during a 26-month period. One-on-one clinical instruction was provided to bedside nurses during the surveys, and pressure ulcer data were displayed in the clinical area.
Results The frequency of pressure ulcers of all stages showed an overall downward trend, and the prevalence decreased from 50% to 8%. The appropriate allocation of pressure-relieving devices increased from 75% up to 95% to 100%. The likely origin of the ulcer (ie, whether it was hospital or community acquired) and the anatomical site of the pressure ulcers did not change during the study period.
Conclusions This program was successful in reducing the prevalence of pressure ulcers among vulnerable intensive care patients and indicates that quality improvement is a highly effective formula for improving patients’ outcomes that is easily implemented by using clinical expertise and existing resources.
DALLE ESIGENZE ENERGETICHE SULLA TERRA ALLâ€™ESPLORAZIONE DI MARTE PASSANDO PER I COLORI DELLA CAPPELLA SISTINA: PRESENTE E FUTURO DEL FOTOVOLTAICO E DEI COMBUSTIBILI SOLARI

The challenge of renewable energies has now come to a strategic step. While 80% of the energy still comes from fossil fuels, the role of renewable energies is in constant growth. The challenge of renewables is not only a technological transition, but also the indispensable response to the needs of the planet, from the incessant demographic growth to climatic emergencies and to the development of the poorest countries, and eventually to medium to long term challenges such as the colonization of Mars. Researchers are therefore committed to developing innovative, clean and efficient solutions to meet such challenge. In particular, organic dyes, organic molecules such as those founds in drugs or liquid crystals, represent key actors of one of the most fascinating chemistry frontiers to produce low cost and clean renewable energy. As the true colors of the Sistine Chapel frescoes, wanted by Michelangelo, have now emerged and visible to everyone, also in this field only specific colored dyes are able to address effectively the energy challenge. The scientist, especially the chemist, starting from the state of the art and innovation, is engaged in the design of new molecules owning the correct colors.

“Grotesquery to the Surface”: The Leo Frank Case and Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America Revisited in Trump’s Alt-Right America
Authors: Kaplan Brett Ashley 
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT
This essay returns to the story of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory owner lynched in 1915 by a mob that catalyzed the regrettable reemergence of the KKK. Philip Roth describes the lynching of Frank in his alternative history, The Plot Against America (2004), and reading the historical event alongside the novel furnishes a means to see how deeply the interconnection between hatreds flows in the United States more than one hundred years later and to help unpack some of what we suffer now. A through-line exists between the KKK then and Trump-era white supremacist groups now. This article contends that while focusing on questions of Jewishness and its representations is crucial, we also need to work cross-racially/culturally in order to understand and thus combat the logics of white supremacy. The case of Leo Frank and the diatribes and hate speeches that ultimately fueled his lynching highlight the long historical imbrication of Blackness and Jewishness in the United States, which then, in turn, fed Nazi propaganda. Understanding what has been unleashed under Trump and exploring ways that Jewish studies scholars can address multiple forms of white supremacy requires an historically informed approach to the concurrent and mutually-fueling rise in racism and antisemitism.

Authors: Del Prete Annachiara , Cabero Almenara Julio 
Published: March 2020

El uso masivo de la tecnología, en la vida cotidiana y en la educación en particular, está teniendo siempre más influencias en la autopercepción, por parte de los/as docentes, de habilidades de uso de las TIC, así como en sus competencias digitales. El propósito del estudio ha sido analizar si se presentan diferencias de género en el uso pedagógico de la plataforma Moodle, encuestando una población de 640 docentes de una institución de educación superior técnico profesional de Chile. El estudio ha sido realizado a través del análisis estadístico basado en la prueba de significación de hipótesis nula y la variable género ha sido analizada de forma descontextualizada, sin tomar en consideración las interacciones que se puedan dar con otras variables. Entre los resultados principales se destaca la evidencia de que no se presentan diferencias significativas entre profesores y profesoras el uso didáctico de la plataforma Moodle, así como en la auto calificación del dominio de la misma.
The widespread use of technology in daily life, and particularly in education, increasingly influences both the self-perception of Information and Communication Technology skills and teachers’ digital competence. This study aims to analyze if there are gender differences in the pedagogical use of the Moodle platform, by conducting surveys among a population of 640 teachers from a technical professional higher education institution in Chile. The study of gender differences has been conducted through a statistical analysis based on a significance test of null hypothesis and the gender variable has been analyzed in a decontextualized manner, without taking into account the interactions that they could have with other variables. Among the primary results, evidence shows that there are no significant differences between female and male teachers with regard to the educational use of the Moodle platform as well as self-qualification with respect to proficiency on the platform
Autorregulación del aprendizaje en la Formación Profesional a Distancia: efectos de la gestión del tiempo
Authors: Garcia-Marcos Cristian Jorge , López-Vargas Omar , Cabero-Almenara Julio 
Published: March 2020

La presente investigación estudia los efectos que dos herramientas relacionadas con la autorregulación del aprendizaje tienen sobre el logro académico, las conexiones por día y el tiempo de dedicación al estudio. Un total de 260 estudiantes de formación profesional cuyo aprendizaje se desarrolla en línea fueron asignados de forma aleatoria a tres grupos: un grupo interactuaba en un aula virtual a cuya estructura se le había añadido una herramienta que muestra una barra de progreso con las tareas a realizar durante el curso (n=67); otro grupo interactuaba en un aula virtual al que se le añadía tanto la barra de progreso como una herramienta que estima el tiempo dedicación al estudio (n=75); y el grupo de control interactuaba sin ninguna herramienta añadida con respecto a las que se trabaja habitualmente en el aula virtual (n=118). Se realizaron análisis factoriales ANOVA y MANOVA. Los resultados muestran que no existe una diferencia significativa en el logro académico entre grupos, independientemente del tipo del aula virtual en la que interactúen. Sin embargo, existen diferencias significativas en el tiempo de dedicación y en las conexiones diarias entre grupos, dependiendo del tipo de aula virtual empleado. Como conclusión, los estudiantes del grupo en el que se incluye la barra de progreso mejoran su eficiencia, ya que obtienen un logro académico similar al resto de estudiantes en aproximadamente la mitad de tiempo.
The present research studies the effects that two tools related to self-regulated have on the academic achievement, the connections per day and the time of dedication to the study. A total of 260 vocational training e-learning students was randomly assigned to three groups: one group interacted in a virtual classroom in which a tool showing a progress bar with the tasks to be completed during the course was added (n=67); another group interacted in a virtual classroom in which both the progress bar and a tool that estimates the dedication time to the study was added (n=75); and the control group interacted without any extra tool added in the virtual classroom (n=118). ANOVA and MANOVA factor analysis were performed. The results show that there is no significant difference in academic achievement between groups, regardless of the type of the virtual classroom in which they interact. However, there are significant differences in the dedication time to the study and in the daily connections between groups, depending on the type of the virtual classroom was used. It is therefore concluded that the group in which the progress bar is included enhaces efficiency, because students obtain similar academic achievements in approximately half the time.
Critical Thinking
Authors: Haber Jonathan 
Published: March 2020

How the concept of critical thinking emerged, how it has been defined, and how critical thinking skills can be taught.
Critical thinking is regularly cited as an essential twenty-first century skill, the key to success in school and work. Given our propensity to believe fake news, draw incorrect conclusions, and make decisions based on emotion rather than reason, it might even be said that critical thinking is vital to the survival of a democratic society. But what, exactly, is critical thinking? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Jonathan Haber explains how the concept of critical thinking emerged, how it has been defined, and how critical thinking skills can be taught and assessed.
Haber describes the term's origins in such disciplines as philosophy, psychology, and science. He examines the components of critical thinking, including structured thinking, language skills, background knowledge, and information literacy, along with such necessary intellectual traits as intellectual humility, empathy, and open-mindedness. He discusses how research has defined critical thinking, how elements of critical thinking have been taught for centuries, and how educators can teach critical thinking skills now.
Haber argues that the most important critical thinking issue today is that not enough people are doing enough of it. Fortunately, critical thinking can be taught, practiced, and evaluated. This book offers a guide for teachers, students, and aspiring critical thinkers everywhere, including advice for educational leaders and policy makers on how to make the teaching and learning of critical thinking an educational priority and practical reality.

Objectives
The study aimed to explore the association of coping styles and social support with psychological distress among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) as well as gender differences in these associations.

Methods
A cross-sectional study of 769 ESRD patients was conducted at 25 hospitals in Qiqihar City, China. All information was collected using structured questionnaires that were self-administered by the patients. Patients’ psychological health status, coping styles and perceived social support were measured using the 12-item General Health Questionnaire, the Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Student’s t test, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and binary logistic regression analysis were used for data analysis.

Results
A total of 72.3% of participants reported psychological distress, and the prevalence of distress was higher in females (77.0%) than in males (68.8%). The usage of the acceptance-resignation coping style was positively related to psychological distress (B = 0.459, P < 0.001). Social support level was negatively associated with psychological distress (B = −0.049, P < 0.001). The use of the confrontation style was negatively related to psychological distress in females (OR = 0.87, 95% CI [0.78–0.96]) but not in males (OR = 0.98, 95% CI [0.91–1.06]) (P for interaction term = 0.007).

Conclusions
Greater use of the acceptance-resignation style and lower social support are related to a higher risk of psychological distress. Greater use of the confrontation style is related to a lower risk of psychological distress in females but not in males.
Nonenzymatic oxygenated metabolite of docosahexaenoic acid, 4(RS)‐4‐F4t‐neuroprostane, acts as a bioactive lipid molecule in neuronal cells

Published: March 2020

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an abundant fatty acid in the brain, is susceptible to auto‐oxidation in situ and releases metabolites such as F4‐neuroprostane (4‐F4t‐NeuroP). The presence of 4‐F4t‐NeuroP in the brain is not well explored. In this study, 4‐F4t‐NeuroP was introduced into neuroblastoma cells (SH‐SY5Y) and, by in vivo infusion, into rodents. Targeted lipidomic analysis of liver and brain tissues shows significant elevation of anti‐inflammatory hydroxylated DHA metabolites and an isomer of neuroprotectin D1, suggesting potential beneficial bioactivities of 4‐F4t‐NeuroP. Additionally, 4‐F4t‐NeuroP treatment in SH‐SY5Y cells and primary neuronal culture consistently upregulates the transcriptional level of the antioxidant enzyme heme oxygenase‐1, but the effect is reduced when 4‐F4t‐NeuroP is further oxidized. Our data suggest that 4‐F4t‐NeuroP could be neuroprotective in the native state but may have disadvantageous bioactivity when oxidized extensively.

ObjectiveProspectively characterize changes in serum proteins following sport‐related concussion and determine whether candidate biomarkers discriminate concussed athletes from controls and are associated with duration of symptoms following concussion.MethodsHigh school and collegiate athletes were enrolled between 2015 and 2018. Blood was collected at preinjury baseline and within 6 hours (early acute) and at 24 to 48 hours (late acute) following concussion in football players (n = 106), matched uninjured football players (n = 84), and non–contact‐sport athletes (n = 50). Glial fibrillary acidic protein, ubiquitin c‐terminal hydrolase‐L1, S100 calcium binding protein B, alpha‐II‐spectrin breakdown product 150, interleukin 6, interleukin 1 receptor antagonist, and c‐reactive protein were measured in serum. Linear models assessed changes in protein concentrations over time. Receiver operating curves quantified the discrimination of concussed athletes from controls. A Cox proportional hazard model determined whether proteins were associated with symptom recovery.ResultsAll proteins except glial fibrillary acidic protein and c‐reactive protein were significantly elevated at the early acute phase postinjury relative to baseline and both control groups and discriminated concussed athletes from controls with areas under the curve of 0.68 to 0.84. The candidate biomarkers also significantly improved the discrimination of concussed athletes from noncontact controls compared to symptom severity alone. Glial fibrillary acidic protein was elevated postinjury relative to baseline in concussed athletes with a loss of consciousness or amnesia. Finally, early acute levels of interleukin 1 receptor antagonist were associated with the number of days to symptom recovery.InterpretationBrain injury and inflammatory proteins show promise as objective diagnostic biomarkers for sport‐related concussion, and inflammatory markers may provide prognostic value.

Working with the Nine Percent: The “meritocracy” of financialized capitalism
Authors: Eisold Kenneth 
Published: March 2020

AbstractA new class, often referred to as a “meritocracy,” has arisen to manage the businesses, financial institutions, government agencies and think tanks that protect and enlarge the sway of the “one percent” that constitute the oligarchy, those at the top of our society enjoying a disproportionate share of our wealth. Working with those “nine percent,” whose wealth accumulates from compensation rather than investment, allows us to see the volatility and insecurity that characterize their work lives, as the reward of wealth substitutes for stability and satisfaction from work they once more traditionally enjoyed. This paper gives examples from their work experience, going on to explore some of the consequences for the organizations in which they work as well as for society as a whole.
