Newly Credentialed Athletic Trainers' Perceptions of Professional Preparation for Their Role as Collegiate Graduate Assistants
Authors: Thrasher Ashley B. , Walker Stacy E. , Hankemeier Dorice A. 
Published: October 2018

Context:
The professional preparation of newly credentialed athletic trainers (ATs) has been passionately debated. Understanding how newly credentialed ATs feel they are prepared will help enhance professional preparation.

Objective:
Explore newly credentialed ATs' perceptions of their professional preparation for their role.

Design:
Phenomenological qualitative.

Setting:
Phone interviews with graduate assistant ATs in the collegiate setting.

Patients or Other Participants:
Nineteen collegiate graduate assistants (15 female, 4 male; average age = 23 ± 0.15 years; National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I: 13, II: 3, III: 2, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics: 2; postprofessional athletic training program: 6).

Main Outcome Measure(s):
Participants were recruited via an e-mail from the National Athletic Trainers' Association database sent to all certified students. Data were collected via phone interviews, which were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Interviews were conducted until data saturation occurred. Data were analyzed through phenomenological reduction, with data coded for common themes and subthemes. Credibility was established via member checks and peer debriefing.

Results:
Two themes emerged: facilitators and barriers. Overall, participants felt academically prepared for their role, but preparedness was often dependent on the facilitators of academic rigor, hands-on opportunities in clinical education, and their preceptor. Barriers included a lack of rigor in the academic setting, lack of active opportunities in clinical education, the culture of clinical experiences, and incongruence. Incongruence existed when students were exposed to all the competencies during didactic education, but never gained experience with some skills (eg, rehabilitation, documentation, communication) if situations never arose or they were not actively involved clinically.

Conclusions:
Athletic training students are being exposed to a variety of learning experiences academically, but often do not gain clinical experience if situations do not arise or preceptors do not allow active participation. To ensure new ATs are prepared, academic programs need to ensure rigor and place students with preceptors who provide active learning opportunities.
Retained Knowledge and Use of Evidence-Based Practice Concepts
Authors: Manspeaker Sarah A. , Hankemeier Dorice A. 
Published: October 2018

Context:
To maintain certification, athletic trainers (ATs) are required to obtain continuing education units (CEUs) in the area of evidence-based practice (EBP). Longitudinal analysis of outcomes after attending a Board of Certification–approved Foundations of EBP course is lacking.

Objective:
To evaluate ATs' knowledge retention of and confidence in EBP concepts 12 months after a Foundations of EBP course. A secondary aim was to determine ATs' perceptions regarding barriers to, use of, and resources for EBP.

Design:
Repeated measures within-subjects survey.

Setting:
Online survey.

Patients or Other Participants:
Twenty-seven respondents (22% response rate) from a convenience sample of 123 ATs.

Intervention(s):
Board of Certification–approved Foundations of EBP category workshop.

Main Outcome Measure(s):
The survey instrument, Evidence-Based Concepts: Knowledge, Attitudes, and Use (EBCKAU), ascertained ATs' perceived EBP knowledge over a 12-month period. Descriptive statistics and correlations were calculated; repeated measures analysis of variance determined differences between scores. Responses to open-ended questions were catalogued according to themes and coded.

Results:
For the knowledge score, a statistically significant increase in perceived knowledge (F2.0,52.0 = 18.91, P &lt; .001) from preworkshop (6.40 ± 1.77) to immediately postworkshop (8.15 ± 1.51) and from before to 12 months after workshop (7.30 ± 1.64) was noted. Confidence in knowledge was statistically significantly different over time (z = −4.55, P &lt; .001). Both before and since the workshop, ATs reported low levels of incorporating patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) and were equally likely to use compilation research findings in their clinical practice. Barriers of time and available resources were identified, and patient care was reported as the primary area in which ATs envision future use of EBP.

Conclusions:
Athletic trainers improved immediate perceived knowledge and retained knowledge of EBP concepts over time; however, confidence in knowledge decreased over time. ATs did not implement the workshop concepts into their daily clinical practice.
Work-Life Balance in Higher Education for Women: Perspectives of Athletic Training Faculty
Authors: Mazerolle Stephanie M. , Barrett Jessica L. 
Published: October 2018

Context:
Women are largely underrepresented in science fields in academe, and most often issues with motherhood and career-life balancing are identified as reasons. In athletic training, career-life balancing has become the dominant factor in women leaving the field, as they feel they cannot fulfill the roles of mother, spouse, and athletic trainer adequately.

Objective:
To better understand the perceptions of women athletic training faculty members regarding balancing their roles in higher education and those outside of the workplace.

Design:
Interpretative phenomenological analysis study, with semistructured interviews.

Setting:
Higher education institutions sponsoring Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education–accredited athletic training programs.

Patients or Other Participants:
Sixteen (8 with children, 8 without children) women athletic training faculty participated. Ten were married at the time of the interview, 3 were single, 2 were engaged, and 1 was in the process of getting a divorce.

Main Outcome Measure(s):
Each participant completed a one-on-one interview with a researcher and all data were coded following interpretative phenomenological analysis. Data saturation was attained. We completed member checks, peer review, and researcher triangulation for credibility.

Results:
We found that motherhood was perceived to be a challenge and balancing the role of motherhood created conflict. Despite concerns for motherhood and balancing faculty roles, higher education was perceived to provide flexibility. Support networks and individual strategies were common to manage the responsibilities of faculty as well as nonfaculty roles.

Conclusions:
Our results demonstrated that higher education cultivates a climate of balance through flexible workplace arrangements and that support networks are necessary to create role balancing in and out of the workplace. Finally, time management and organization are necessary for women to establish balance, regardless of roles outside of the workplace (eg, spouse, mother, friend).
Simulated Patients Are Predominantly Used to Teach and Evaluate Athletic Training Students' Skills: A 10-Year Follow-Up
Authors: Armstrong Kirk J. , Walker Stacy E. , Weidner Thomas 
Published: October 2018

Context:
Health care education needs to include methods of teaching and evaluation that are realistic and mimic patient care.

Objective:
To follow up on previous research regarding the methods athletic training educators use to evaluate and teach athletic training students' clinical skills during clinical experiences and in the classroom/laboratory.

Design:
Cross-sectional.

Setting:
Public and private institutions.

Patients or Other Participants:
Program directors of all accredited professional athletic training programs as of November 2015 (N = 372) were asked to participate; a total of 90 participated.

Data Collection and Analysis:
The electronic survey consisted of 6 demographic questions, 6 questions regarding methods used to teach and evaluate clinical skills, and 6 items regarding barriers, educational content areas, and practice settings for real-time patient encounters. The Cronbach α determined internal consistency, α = 0.784. Descriptive statistics were computed for all items. An analysis of variance and independent t tests analyzed differences among institutions/programs with different demographic characteristics with regard to methods, barriers, educational content areas, and settings used for teaching and evaluating skills. The α level was set at .05.

Results:
Simulated patients and real-time evaluations were the most prevalent methods of teaching and evaluating clinical skills in the classroom/laboratory and during clinical experiences, respectively. Students' lack of self-confidence (4.10 ± 0.835) was the most common barrier during clinical experiences. The clinical examination and diagnosis (4.54 ± 0.656) and acute care of injury and illness (4.39 ± 0.775) content areas ranked highest for sufficient opportunities for real-time skill evaluation. One-way analysis of variances revealed no significant differences related to institutional/program demographics regarding opportunities for or barriers to teaching and evaluating skills.

Conclusions:
Ten years after our previous research, athletic training students' skills are still primarily taught and evaluated via simulated patients, with a slight increase in real-time patient encounters. Professional programs should continue using simulations and consider real-time encounters to provide additional patient care experiences.
Implementing a total reward strategy in selected South African municipal organisations
Authors: Bwowe Patrick W. , Marongwe Newlin 
Published: October 2018

Orientation: The role of total rewards in achieving business goals, employee productivity and employee retention cannot be underestimated. A total reward strategy has been linked to the entire employee proposition making it a critical factor in the attraction and retention of talent in organisations.Research purpose: The study focused on investigating the extent to which municipal organisations are implementing total rewards practices.Motivation for the study: The study was motivated by the desire to explore the extent South African municipalities are implementing total rewards as a basis of their reward system and to find out which total reward practices are implemented by municipalities as part of their compensation and reward strategy.Research approach/design and method: The study used an internet-based survey with a questionnaire to assess managers’ perception of total reward strategy and the extent it is implemented in their organisations. A non-list-based random sampling technique was used to draw up a sample of 58 human resources managers from selected municipalities. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse the survey.Main findings: The study found out that few of the responding municipalities had implemented the total reward strategy.Practical/managerial implications: Municipalities should re-think their approach to compensation by ensuring that total rewards programmes are developed and implemented.Contribution/value add: The findings contribute to new knowledge that can be used by municipal employers to attract the required talent capable of ensuring effective service delivery, through developing competitive reward strategies that can command high employee satisfaction, loyalty and commitment to the organisation.
Last interglacial ocean changes in the Bahamas: climate teleconnections between low and high latitudes
Authors: Zhuravleva Anastasia , Bauch Henning A. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract. Paleorecords and modeling studies suggest that instabilities in
the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) strongly affect the
low-latitude climate, namely via feedbacks on the Atlantic Intertropical
Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Despite the pronounced millennial-scale overturning and
climatic variability documented in the subpolar North Atlantic during the
last interglacial period (MIS 5e), studies on cross-latitudinal
teleconnections remain very limited. This precludes a full understanding of
the mechanisms controlling subtropical climate evolution across the last
warm cycle. Here, we present new planktic foraminiferal assemblage data
combined with δ18O values in surface and thermocline-dwelling
foraminifera from the Bahamas, a region ideally suited to studying past
changes in the subtropical ocean and atmosphere. Our data reveal that the peak
sea surface warmth during early MIS 5e was intersected by an abrupt
millennial-scale cooling/salinification event, which was possibly associated
with a sudden southward displacement of the mean annual ITCZ position. This
atmospheric shift is, in turn, ascribed to the transitional climatic regime
of early MIS 5e, which was characterized by persistent ocean freshening in the high
latitudes and an unstable AMOC mode.
Compact Modeling Framework v3.0 for high-resolution global ocean–ice–atmosphere models
Authors: Kalmykov Vladimir V. , Ibrayev Rashit A. , Kaurkin Maxim N. , Ushakov Konstantin V. 
Published: October 2018

Abstract. We present a new version of the Compact Modeling Framework (CMF3.0) developed for the software environment of stand-alone and coupled global geophysical fluid models. The CMF3.0 is designed for use on high- and ultrahigh-resolution models on massively parallel supercomputers.The key features of the previous CMF, version 2.0, are mentioned to reflect progress in our research. In CMF3.0, the message passing interface (MPI) approach with a high-level abstract driver, optimized coupler interpolation and I/O algorithms is replaced with the Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) paradigm communications scheme, while the central hub architecture evolves into a set of simultaneously working services. Performance tests for both versions are carried out. As an addition, some information about the parallel realization of the EnOI (Ensemble Optimal Interpolation) data assimilation method and the nesting technology, as program services of the CMF3.0, is presented.
Holism, Field Theory, Systems Thinking, and Gestalt Consulting: How Each Informs the Other—Part 1, Theoretical Integration
Authors: Stevenson Herb 
Published: October 2018

AbstractThis article highlights core theoretical underpinnings of Gestalt consulting—phenomenology/existentialism, holism, field theory, and systems thinking—and how they overlap to create an expanded perspective for Gestalt consultants. Consistent within all these fields of thought is the aspect of emergent change and awareness. The Gestalt application of these theories has led to unique approaches on how to be a Gestalt consultant and how to intervene within organizations, such that insights on unconscious and habitualized behavioral patterns that prevent necessary shifts are able to emerge.

Authors: Thompson Krista 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
Contemporary Gestalt theory and practice has application in business consulting and coaching; it could be useful to explain its relevance to potential clients. Current leadership literature is reviewed for evidence of confluence with a Gestalt approach, with multiple instances observed. The use of a Gestalt perspective in business culture transformation is illustrated by the case example of Rockland Trust Bank.
Jesu Crista: Symbol for a Just Future in Helena María Viramontes'sUnder the Feet of Jesus
Authors: Freitas Molly J. 
Published: October 2018

AbstractHelena María Viramontes's 1996 novel Under the Feet of Jesus centers on the lives of Hispanic migrant workers in California, and especially on the thirteen-year-old Latina protagonist, Estrella. This article builds on previous readings of the novel's Catholic themes and links them more explicitly to the text's feminist and environmental justice investments. As argued here, the novel radically reimagines Christ through the figure of Estrella and positions this young woman as a powerful beacon of hope. Displacing the usual focus on sacrifice in depictions of Christ, Estrella, by the end of the novel, instead becomes a messianic icon of righteous justice.
Jejunocystoplasty and Bilateral Ureteral Reimplantation in a Dog Following Total Cystectomy
Authors: Maxwell Elizabeth A. , Allen Larie 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACTA 6 yr old Boston terrier presented with acute onset of vomiting and anuria 4 days following a caesarian section and ovariohysterectomy for treatment of dystocia. A total cystectomy with ligation of both ureters was diagnosed via exploratory laparotomy surgery. A jejunocystoplasty was performed in addition to a bilateral reimplantation of the ureters into the reconstructed bladder and proximal urethra. Postoperative complications included a retained ureteral stent, persistent pyelectasia, persistent hydroureters, recurrent urinary tract infections, and intermittent urinary incontinence. Four years postoperation, the dog is doing clinically well with intermittent urinary incontinence and periodic urinary tract infections. Jejunocystoplasty with bilateral ureteral reimplantation should be considered as a treatment option for dogs following total cystectomy that occurred because of a surgical error. Owners should be informed of potential complications prior to surgery.
Physeal Acetabular Fracture in a Dog Treated with External Fixation
Authors: Graville Taylor C. , Gambino Jennifer M. , Syrcle Jason A. 
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACTAn acetabular physeal fracture in a 13 wk old dog was treated with open fixation using Kirschner wire cross pins and a four-pin Type 1A external fixator, resulting in successful healing of the fracture. Three years following the surgery, marked osteoarthrosis of the affected hip was noted, although clinical function of the hip was good. The authors suggest this fixation method be considered a viable option for fixation of acetabular physeal fractures in dogs.

Published: October 2018

Este presente artigo busca refletir acerca da estratégia de política externa da Índia para o século XXI. A localização geográfica do país coloca uma série de desafios de ordem geopolítica e geoeconômica a serem pensados pelo governo e chancelaria nacional. Disputas territoriais, passado de guerras e presente instável, fizeram a Índia pensar em desenvolver uma “Grande Estratégia” que buscasse a alçar o país à condição de potência global no século XXI. Todavia, o país ainda enfrenta enormes desafios também na estrutura social, o que levanta sérios problemas internos a serem igualmente dirimidos. O que o gigante asiático fará diante dos desafios e do pujante crescimento econômico será objeto de análise do trabalho que se dividirá em três partes, sendo que a primeira é a introdução, a segunda - a mais importante - analisa os principais temas da política externa do país e o desenvolvimento de uma “Grande Estratégia” e se divide em três tópicos: comércio internacional e investimentos; política de defesa e segurança; política regional. Como última parte, temos a conclusão.
Searching for a Reference: Using Automated Text Analysis to Study Judicial Compliance
Authors: Šipulová Katarina , Smekal Hubert , Janovský Jozef 
Published: October 2018

The concept of judicial compliance has attracted plenty of attention in the last two decades. Yet, despite the growing scholarly interest, important research questions remain largely unresolved. This is partly due to the persistent use of unsystematic research, built on the cherry picking of cases. The content of only a few well-known judgments has been thoroughly examined, and the rest remains largely ignored by the legal scholarship. The aim of this article is to introduce a sketch of a new three-level approach for improving research on judicial compliance in a multi-level arena. We show how the use of automated text analysis in combination with more traditional legal methods might shed more light on the concept of judicial compliance and judicial dialogues. We explain the procedure of the automated collection of data and their coding and also point out the risks of using automated text analysis when studying judicial compliance. The approach is demonstrated on a single case study of the use of European Court of Human Rights rulings by Czech apex courts. This study assesses how often and in what way the domestic courts engage with the European Court of Human Rights case law.
Civil Economy. A New Approach to the Market in the Age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Authors: Zamagni Stefano 
Published: October 2018

After explaining the reasons why we must urgently reexamine the foundations of the market economy, the article goes on to illustrate the main differences between the civil market and capitalist market models. It then answers the question of why, in the last quarter of a century, the concept of the civil economy has reemerged as a topic of public debate and scientific research. In particular, it highlights the reasons why the fourth industrial revolution postulates a civil market if the risks involved with the advancement of transhumanism are to be avoided. The article ends with an invitation to transcend the contradictions of the culture of libertarian individualism. Después de aclarar las razones por las cuales es urgente repensar las bases de la economía de mercado, el artículo continúa para ilustrar las principales diferencias entre el modelo del mercado civil y el modelo del mercado capitalista. A continuación, se responde a la pregunta de por qué en el último cuarto de siglo la perspectiva del discurso de la economía civil está resurgiendo en el debate público, así como en la investigación científica. Se presta especial atención a resaltar las razones por las cuales la cuarta revolución industrial debe desarrollarse desde un mercado civil si se quieren evitar los riesgos asociados con el avance del transhumanismo. El artículo termina con una invitación a superar las aporías de la cultura del individualismo libertario.
Kulturel liminalitet i Don Quixote
Authors: Fastrup Anne 
Published: October 2018

Cervantes og den »algierske erfaring« Cultural Liminality in Don QuixoteMiguel de Cervantes’ two-volume satire from 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote de la Mancha, has often been been proclaimed the first European novel, especially by the continental theory of the novel. Most renowned in that regard is Milan Kundera’s description in The Art of the Novel of Don Quixote as the first narration in the literary history of Europe testifying to the absence of God. Thus for Kundera, Cervantes’ master piece demonstrates the close relationship between the genre of the novel, on the hand, and the rise of a scepticist, secular and worldlyminded mentality characteristic of the European Enlightenment, on the other hand. Being influenced by the general »re-historizing« of the literary studies that we are facing in these years, more recent Cervantine research has taken up topics that played a central role in the the cultural history of Golden Age Spain. Consequently, we have been witnessing a lot of studies focused on the representation of gender, ethnicity, identity politics etc. Within the frame of the cultural history approach to Don Quixote we also see examples of new biographical readings basing the literary analysis on a thorough historical reconstruction of Cervantes’ life and times, in particular with regard to his involvement in the war against the Turks. In my article »Cultural Liminality in Don Quixote. Cervantes and the Algerian experience«, I approach the question of Don Quixote as the first novel by combining the Bakhtinian theory of the novel with recent attempts at historical reconstruction.
