The personality profile of the accountable nurse and missed nursing care
Authors: Drach‐Zahavy Anat , Srulovici Einav 
Published: September 2018

AbstractAimThe aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of nurses’ personal accountability in the relationships between nurse's personality and missed nursing care.BackgroundPersonal accountability is considered as a core value in nursing, shaped by the nurse's personality, education, socialization into the profession and experience. Personality antecedents may be uniquely suited to predicting accountability, since it reflects variation in individuals’ deep‐seated values and beliefs. Personal accountability can be related to the prevalent phenomenon of missed nursing care (tasks that are omitted or delayed).DesignA multicentre cross‐sectional study with 290 nurses from direct‐care nursing wards during 2017. Personality traits were assessed with the 44‐item Big Five Inventory. Personal accountability was assessed with a 19‐item scale. Missed nursing care was assessed with the 22‐item MISSCARE survey. An indirect mediated path analysis was performed and compared with an alternative model with direct effects.ResultsPath‐analyses findings supported a full‐mediation model of accountability in the relationships between personality traits and missed nursing care. Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, Openness and Neuroticism, but not Extraversion, were significantly related to personal accountability. In addition, greater personal accountability was significantly related to lower frequency of missed nursing care.ConclusionsPersonal traits are important antecedents of personal accountability, which relates to missed nursing care. Findings delineate the profile of the accountable nurse and might help in developing strategies for the selection of nurses with high personal accountability and determining the best means to strengthen accountable behaviours in the workplace.

AbstractAimsTo test a path model evaluating the influence of cultural competence of nurses on patient satisfaction and the mediating role of patient trust.BackgroundIn China, there has been an increase in medical disputes, which at times has resulted in physical assaults on healthcare providers. Enhanced patient satisfaction may reduce disputes and can perhaps be bolstered by the improved cultural competence of providers.DesignA cross‐sectional path analytic research design was used.MethodsA random sample of 583 hospitalized patients recruited from six tertiary comprehensive hospitals in Changsha, China in 2016 completed a face‐to‐face structured questionnaire. Measures included the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Cultural Competency Item Set, the Wake Forest Physician Trust Scale, the Patient Satisfaction with Primary Nurses Scale and the Patient Overall Satisfaction with the Hospital Scale.ResultsSignificant associations among cultural competence of nurses, patient satisfaction and patient trust were confirmed, and path analyses supported the proposed mediating role of patient trust. Furthermore, the cultural competence subscales of communication‐positive behaviours, trust‐building behaviours and shared decision‐making were positively and significantly correlated with patient satisfaction.ConclusionFindings suggest interventions should be designed to improve nurse's cultural competence, especially in the domains of communication‐positive behaviours, trust‐building behaviours and shared decision‐making, and trust, to improve patient satisfaction.
Thoughts on the Workplace as a Masculinity Contest
Authors: Ely Robin J. , Kimmel Michael 
Published: September 2018

AbstractWe consider how the research featured in this special issue reveals the deeply emotional nature of men's gender‐identity constructions at work: men qua men feeling threatened and insecure and thus compelled to prove their manliness in survival‐of‐the‐fittest competitions. These papers locate this behavior not in individual bad actors nor in men's supposed biological drives, but rather in the organizational norms and practices that foster masculinity contests. We offer possible ways forward for organizational practice and policy aimed at eliminating masculinity contest cultures and their negative effects.

Published: September 2018

ObjectiveTo describe concurrent ophthalmic diseases in dogs with retrobulbar cellulitis and abscessation.Materials and MethodsRetrospective analysis of clinical records of dogs with retrobulbar inflammation.ResultsForty‐one dogs were diagnosed with retrobulbar inflammation; of these, 23 presented with abscessation and two with zygomatic sialoadenitis. Diagnosis was based on orbital ultrasound, MRI, CT and cytological and microbiological examination of fluid or tissue samples. Management involved evacuation of fluid contents using ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspirationviathe pterygopalatine fossa or orbitotomy. Patients received systemic antibiotics (except for one with sialoadenitis), glucocorticoids, non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs, opioids and fluid therapy. At initial presentation one or more ophthalmic complications were reported in 19 dogs (46%) including internal ophthalmoplegia (n=5), blindness due to optic nerve damage (n=5), facial nerve paralysis (n=3), prolapse of the third eyelid gland (n=3), corneal ulceration (n=8), anterior uveitis (n=4), chorioretinitis (n=3), retinal detachment (n=2) and increased intraocular pressure (n=7). Information on ophthalmic complications after cessation of active inflammation was available for 33 patients. One or more concurrent disease was found in 10 cases (30%): in addition to persistent neurological deficits and third eyelid gland prolapse reported at initial presentation, visual deficits after retinal re‐attachment (n=2), loss of corneal sensation (n=1), corneal oedema (n=1), corneal fibrosis (n=4), corneal lipidosis (n=1) and strabismus after suspected fibrosis (n=2) were diagnosed.Clinical SignificanceOphthalmic complications are common in patients with retrobulbar inflammation indicating that these patients should undergo ophthalmic assessment and follow‐up.
Corrective Feedback and the Role of Implicit Sequence‐Learning Ability in L2 Online Performance
Authors: Granena Gisela , Yilmaz Yucel 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThis study investigated the relative effectiveness of two instructional interventions (implicit and explicit feedback) as a function of implicit sequence‐learning ability. Second language (L2) attainment was measured by means of a self‐paced reading task, which shows online sensitivity to language errors. Implicit sequence‐learning ability was measured by means of the serial reaction time task from the High‐Level Language Aptitude Battery. Two Spanish target structures were investigated (gender agreement and differential object marking). The results showed that neither explicit nor implicit feedback had an effect on L2 learners’ grammatical sensitivity to the target structures and, therefore, that feedback was not effective in changing L2 learning outcomes, as measured through an online processing measure. The results also showed a significant relationship between implicit sequence‐learning ability and sensitivity to feminine gender agreement on the posttest, after controlling for pretest scores, but only in the implicit feedback group.
In Whose Honor? On Monuments, Public Spaces, Historical Narratives, and Memory
Authors: Saul Gwendolyn W. , Marsh Diana E. 
Published: September 2018

AbstractRecent organized protests have incurred outrage over monuments commemorating Confederate military leaders; in some cities, such as Baltimore, statues of Confederate military leaders have been removed overnight. In this context of charged public discourse, we ask: Does the immediate removal of these statues and monuments truly change the representation of histories and heritage? This expanded commentary, emanating from a Late‐Breaking Roundtable Session at the American Anthropological Association's 2017 annual meeting, is a discussion of the nuances and more obvious manipulations of power exercised through public spaces, representations, place names, and the production of historical narratives embedded in material forms of cultural memory. Research in the field of museum anthropology offers analysis pertinent to this subject, as well as intentioned practices to support communities addressing the violences, disparities, and racisms embedded in American history, and its material forms of cultural memory. In organizing the session, we suggested participants might explore the significance of “dissonant” or “negative” heritage; the narratives, counternarratives, and contestations highlighted in these controversies; or offer comparative perspectives from contexts other than the United States.

Decolonizing Collections‐Based Learning:Experiential Observation as an Interdisciplinary Framework for Object Study
Authors: Hodge Christina J. 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThis paper introduces a structured interdisciplinary framework for collections‐based learning. The scaffolding combines visual analysis and multisensory material properties analysis with anthropological understandings of culture, context, and materiality. It is proposed in critical response both to visual approaches of art history/critique and to new materialist approaches that elevate the physical properties of matter. Both visual and materialist approaches tend toward presentism and decontextualization. They intrinsically privilege the viewer's standpoint and interpretations over those of makers, users, and descendant community members, producing a “colonizing” effect. This outcome does not serve anthropology's decolonizing intentions of cultural relativism and context—or the “twenty‐first‐century skills” with which anthropology aligns. An anthropological understanding of material culture can enhance visual and material approaches by culturally contextualizing the multisensory experience of things and teaching cultural relativism. This paper proposes such an approach: semistructured experiential observation that unites aspects of formal art historical analysis, multisensory observation, and reflexive, polysemous cultural interpretation. The framework offers an interdisciplinary, decolonizing method of object study. [anthropology, materiality, object‐based learning, pedagogy, visuality]
Activity of a selective insecticide (methoxyfenozide) against two mosquito species (Culex pipiensandCuliseta longiareolata): toxicological, biometrical and biochemical study

Published: September 2018

AbstractMethoxyfenozide is an insect growth disruptor belonging to the class of nonsteroidal ecdysone agonists. In the present study, methoxyfenozide (23% emulsifiable concentrate) is evaluated against newly molted fourth‐instar larvae ofCulex pipiensL. andCuliseta longiareolataMacquart (Diptera: Culicidae), aiming to investigate its possible effects on growth and development. Larvae are exposed for 24 h under standard laboratory conditions in accordance with World Health Organization recommendations. The product is found to exhibit insecticidal activity against the two tested mosquito species with a concentration–response relationship. Moreover, based on the lethal concentrations determined, methoxyfenozide is slightly more toxic againstC. pipiensthanC. longiareolata. Furthermore, fourth‐instar larva of the two mosquito species are treated using two lethal concentrations (LC50and LC90) of methoxyfenozide, and then individual survivals (larvae, pupae and adults) from larval treatment are subjected to a biometrical and biochemical study. The compound is found to interfere with growth by reducing the larval and pupal development duration. Moreover, the body volume and the main biochemical contents (proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) from different stages are affected. The overall results suggest that the ecdysone agonist under investigation interferes with the development process and has potential for mosquito control.
Life‐history changes in the cold tolerance of the two‐spot spider mite Tetranychus urticae: applications in pest control and establishment risk assessment
Authors: White Nicola , Bale Jeffrey S. , Hayward Scott A. L. 
Published: September 2018

AbstractLethal time50 (LTime50) and lethal temp (LTemp50) are commonly used laboratory indices of arthropod cold tolerance, with the former often being employed to predict winter survival in the field. In the present study, we compare the cold tolerance of different life‐history stages (nondiapausing and diapausing females, as well as males and juveniles) of a major agricultural pest: the two‐spot spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acarina: Tetranychidae). Diapausing females from European populations of this species are shown to be freeze avoiding, supercooling to −23.6 ± 0.37 °C and with an LTemp50 of −23.2 °C. However, nondiapausing females [supercooling point (SCP) –19.1 ± 0.49 °C, LTemp50 –14.32 °C], males (SCP –21.27 ± 0.52 °C, LTemp50 –16 °C) and juveniles (SCP –25.34 ± 0.29 °C, LTemp50 –18.3 °C) are subclassified as strongly chill tolerant juveniles. LTime50 is 148.3 days for non‐acclimated diapausing females, whereas nondiapausing females, males and juveniles reach 50% mortality by 21.7 days. When individuals are acclimated at 10 °C for a period of 7 days, no effect is found. Cold tolerance is suggested to be a major contributor to the successful spread of T. urticae across temperate countries, although it is dependent on a diapause trait, suggesting a potential target for control. Winter field trial data from diapausing females indicate that LTime50 is a reliable indicator of winter survival even within diapause, supporting the use of these indices as a valuable component within environmental niche models for the prediction of future pest invasions.
Does economic openness affect liberal and electoral democracy in a different way? Empirical evidence from developing countries
Authors: Kablamaci Baris 
Published: September 2018

AbstractThe focus of this paper was to empirically analyze the impacts of economic liberalization on the liberal and electoral democracy in a sample of 106 less developed and developing countries over the period 1970–2016. The economic relationship between these countries and the global trade and the financial system generates a crucial question of to what extent political conditions are affected by this changing relation. To test these relationships, this paper uses V‐Dem's liberal democracy and electoral democracy indices and nine economic liberalization variables. Utilizing two‐step system dynamic panel GMM estimation indicates that trade openness and economic globalization, de facto strongly affects electoral democracy.

BACKGROUNDBlood transfusion can be lifesaving for patients with hemorrhage; however, transfusion requirements for victims of gun violence are poorly understood.STUDY DESIGN AND METHODSIn an urban, Level 1 trauma center, 23,422 trauma patients were analyzed in a retrospective cohort study. Patients with gunshot wounds (GSWs) (n = 2,672; 11.4% of trauma patients) were compared to those with non‐GSW traumatic injuries from 2005 to 2017, to assess blood utilization.RESULTSThe GSW cohort was approximately five times more likely to require transfusion (538 of 2672 [20.1%] vs. 798 of 20,750 [3.9%]; p < 0.0001), and the number of blood component units transfused per patient was approximately 10 times greater (3.3 ± 13.5 vs. 0.31 ± 3.8 units/patient; p < 0.0001), compared to the non‐GSW cohort. The risk‐adjusted likelihood of requiring high‐dose transfusion was greater in the GSW cohort (odds ratio, 2.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.14‐5.80), and requirements were increased for all four blood components (red blood cells, platelets, plasma, and cryoprecipitate). Patients with GSWs had approximately 14 times greater overall mortality (653 of 2672 [24.4%] vs. 352 of 20,750 [1.7%]; p < 0.0001]. Compared to non‐GSW penetrating injuries (e.g., stab wounds), those with GSWs had approximately four times higher transfusion requirements (3.3 ± 13.5 vs. 0.80 ± 3.8 units/patient; p < 0.0001), and approximately eight times greater overall mortality (653 of 2672 [24.4%] vs. 28 of 956 [2.9%]; p < 0.0001).CONCLUSIONSCompared to other traumatic injuries, GSW injuries are associated with substantially greater blood utilization and mortality. Trauma centers treating GSW injuries should have ready access to all blood components and ability to implement massive transfusions.
Punctal stenosis in 6 dogs following the long‐term use of topical neomycin‐polymyxin B‐dexamethasone
Authors: Quantz Katelin , Stiles Jean 
Published: September 2018

AbstractSix dogs were diagnosed with punctal stenosis following the long‐term use of topical neomycin‐polymyxin B‐dexamethasone (NPD). All patients were initially presented for ophthalmic diseases requiring ongoing anti‐inflammatory therapy. Five of the 6 dogs had previously or concurrently been treated with topical anti‐inflammatory medications other than NPD. One patient exclusively received topical NPD prior to the diagnosis of punctal stenosis. The onset of punctal stenosis following therapy with NPD was variable among patients, ranging from 4 months to over 1 year. Diagnosis of punctal stenosis was made based upon the presence of epiphora and visualization of fibrotic tissue over the nasolacrimal puncta.

Published: September 2018

AbstractGreen roofs as solutions that can offer varying levels of stormwater management are the topic of current interest. In order to use this form of reconstructing retention capacity, it is important to understand the influence of meteorological conditions on the functioning of living roofs. The study presents the results of research, using of the ANOVA variance analysis method, on retention performance (i.e. volumetric control) and detention (temporal delay run‐off) carried out in the years 2009–2014. The results indicate that the green roof can effectively retain rainfall and delay the initiation of run‐off from the rainfall events included in the analysis. Understanding the hydrological performance of green roofs in different local meteorological conditions is key to the successful implementation and development of sustainable practices to control run‐off in urban areas.

Hypobaric hypoxia and dietary protein and fat intakes have been independently associated with an altered gastrointestinal (GI) environment and gut microbiota, but little is known regarding host-gut microbiota interactions at high altitude (HA) and the impact of diet macronutrient composition. This study aimed to determine the effect of dietary protein:fat ratio manipulation on the gut microbiota and GI barrier function during weight loss at high altitude (HA) and to identify associations between the gut microbiota and host responses to HA. Following sea-level (SL) testing, 17 healthy males were transported to HA (4,300 m) and randomly assigned to consume provided standard protein (SP; 1.1 g·kg−1·day−1, 39% fat) or higher protein (HP; 2.1 g·kg−1·day−1, 23% fat) carbohydrate-matched hypocaloric diets for 22 days. Fecal microbiota composition and metabolites, GI barrier function, GI symptoms, and acute mountain sickness (AMS) severity were measured. Macronutrient intake did not impact fecal microbiota composition, had only transient effects on microbiota metabolites, and had no effect on increases in small intestinal permeability, GI symptoms, and inflammation observed at HA. AMS severity was also unaffected by diet but in exploratory analyses was associated with higher SL-relative abundance of Prevotella, a known driver of interindividual variability in human gut microbiota composition, and greater microbiota diversity after AMS onset. Findings suggest that the gut microbiota may contribute to variability in host responses to HA independent of the dietary protein:fat ratio but should be considered preliminary and hypothesis generating due to the small sample size and exploratory nature of analyses associating the fecal microbiota and host responses to HA.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study is the first to examine interactions among diet, the gut microbiota, and host responses to weight loss at high altitude (HA). Observed associations among the gut microbiota, weight loss at HA, and acute mountain sickness provide evidence that the microbiota may contribute to variability in host responses to HA. In contrast, dietary protein:fat ratio had only minimal, transient effects on gut microbiota composition and bacterial metabolites which were likely not of clinical consequence.
