Determining the Efficacy of the Combined Use of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) and OT Interventions: A Scoping Review
Authors: Saleem Ghazala , Goldberg Carly , Suskauer Stacy 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/27/20
This review examines the efficacy of NIBS coupled with OT interventions. Sixty studies utilizing OT along with NIBS were included. Results support the use of NIBS as an add-on to OT interventions. Identifying the efficacy of NIBS as an adjuvant to existing therapies assists in characterizing interventions that may be useful in those clinical populations in which high-intensity therapy is not tolerable or feasible.

Authors: Beker Josephine , DeAngelis Tina , Rivera Nitasha 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/28/20
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living skill development and stress management are positively correlated with success in the employment setting. This research focused on young adults who had aged out of the foster-care system and who had a history of homelessness and trauma. Programming measured the impact of pre–post group-based OT on facilitating progress toward employment-related goals while decreasing perceived stress levels. Results showed positive clinical significance trending toward statistical significance.

Mediation of Occupational Competence by Anxiety and Hyperarousal in Youths With Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Authors: Jayashankar Aditya , Butera Christiana , Harrison Laura , Kilroy Emily , Nalbach Alexis , Hossain Anusha , Aziz-Zadeh Lisa 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/28/20
Comorbid anxiety and hyperarousal in youths with ASD provides additional challenges to occupational participation and competence, and thus occupational adaptation. By studying the effect of anxiety and arousal on competence, we found contrary trends for controls and ASD, suggesting less resilient behavior to anxiety in ASD and lower anxiety-mediated competence in older youths with ASD. This provides foundational knowledge for the design of pragmatic OT interventions.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/28/20
Limited literature exists regarding OT’s role in the opioid crisis. To develop and support that role, it is important to understand practitioners’ perceptions and experiences in treating the population. This research study, through qualitative content analysis, explores barriers and supports to addressing opioid prevention, use, and addiction in practice. The results provide a foundation for future research establishing OT’s role in the opioid crisis.

OTs’ Perspectives on Family-Centered Care and Meaningful Relationships Within Complex Family Contexts
Authors: Humbert Tamera , Cargill Esther , Sanders Abigail , Wood Courtney 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/28/20
The value of family-centered care is identified in the literature, highlighting the need for therapists to use a variety of approaches. However, there is limited evidence as to how to best provide care with families dealing with complex contexts such as language, cultural, and social-economic differences. This session will provide the perspectives of eight OTs who identified strategies to support the primary caregiver and ways in which to build therapeutic alliances.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/28/20
Increased stress levels can affect undergraduate OT students’ academic performance, quality of life, mental health, and development of therapeutic relationships. In this survey study, academics and time constraints were identified by students as causing the highest levels of perceived stress. It is important for students to learn to identify stressors and how to manage them so that they can employ adequate coping skills and foster effective therapeutic rapport with clients.

Abstract. The availability of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) constrain the ability of ecosystems to use resources such as light, water and carbon. In turn, nutrients impact the distribution of productivity, ecosystem carbon turnovers and their net exchange of CO2 with the atmosphere in response to variation of environmental conditions both in space and in time. In this study, we evaluated the performance of the global version of the land surface model ORCHIDEE-CNP (v1.2) which explicitly simulates N and P biogeochemistry in terrestrial ecosystems coupled with carbon, water and energy transfers. We used data from remote-sensing, ground-based measurement networks and ecological databases. Components of the N and P cycle at different levels of aggregation (from local to global) are in good agreement with data-driven estimates. When integrated for the period 1850 to 2017 forced with variable climate, rising CO2 and land use change, we show that ORCHIDEE-CNP underestimates the land carbon sink in the North Hemisphere (NH) during the recent decades, despite an a priori realistic GPP response to rising CO2. This result suggests either that other processes than CO2 fertilization which are omitted in ORCHIDEE-CNP, such as changes in biomass turnover, are predominant drivers of the northern land sink, and/or that the model parameterizations produce too strict emerging nutrient limitations on biomass growth in northern areas. In line with the latter, we identified biases in the simulated large-scale patterns of leaf and soil stoichiometry and plant P use efficiency pointing towards a too severe P limitations towards the poles. Based on our analysis of ecosystem resource use efficiencies and nutrient cycling, we propose ways to address the model biases by giving priority to better representing processes of soil organic P mineralization and soil inorganic P transformation, followed by refining the biomass production efficiency under increasing atmospheric CO2, phenology dynamics and canopy light absorption.
