Evaluation of an Asynchronous Online Interprofessional Clinical Experience for DNP Students
Authors: Manning Mary Lou , Pogorzelska-Maziarz Monika 
Published: October 2017

Background:
Little evidence exists guiding interprofessional experiences in Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs, especially in online learning environments. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate a DNP program interprofessional clinical experience.

Method:
Students enrolled in an online asynchronous DNP 15-week course used direct observation and individual and group reflection to evaluate team interprofessional collaboration. Observations were measured using the Jefferson Teamwork Observation Guide (JTOG).

Results:

Eleven students conducted 84 interprofessional observations. The overall mean score across all JTOG observations was 3.44 (
SD
± .48). No statistically significant differences exist in the overall or domain-specific scores by observer participation in the team or by type of setting. Corresponding reflections tended to support JTOG scores.

Conclusion:

Findings suggest that this experience increased students' own personal awareness of interprofessional practice and helped them connect new learning to existing knowledge. How this translates into actual clinical or leadership practice is unknown and provides an important area for future investigation. [

Pressure Injuries in Critical Care: A Survey of Critical Care Nurses
Authors: Cox Jill , Schallom Marilyn 
Published: October 2017

BACKGROUND
Critical care nurses must be able to skillfully balance the prevention of adverse events such as pressure injuries in an environment with multiple competing and lifesaving technologies that often take precedent. Despite strategies to prevent them, pressure injuries do occur in intensive care unit patients, and consensus is building that some pressure injuries are unavoidable.

OBJECTIVES
To determine critical care nurses’ attitudes toward prevention of pressure injury and the perceptions of frontline critical care nurses of specific risk factors associated with unavoidable pressure injuries.

METHODS
A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used. An online survey was posted on the newsletter website of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses in January 2016.

RESULTS
An invitation to participate in the study was emailed to more than 3000 members of the association; 333 nurses responded, for a response rate of approximately 11%. Among the responders, 73% were employed as bedside critical care nurses. More than half (67%) thought that pressure injuries are avoidable, and 66% disagreed that pressure injury prevention was of less interest than other aspects of critical care. The top 2 risk factors for unavoidable pressure injuries were impaired tissue perfusion and impaired tissue oxygenation.

CONCLUSION
Critical care nurses are steadfast stewards of safe patient care and think that pressure injury prevention is a crucial aspect of the care they deliver every day. The findings on risk factors for unavoidable pressure injuries mirrored those of experts and provide a layer of support for these factors.
The transmutation of bogwera in Luke 2:21 in the 1857 English-Setswana Bible
Authors: Mothoagae Itumeleng D. 
Published: October 2017

In her article on ‘translating ngaka’ (diviner-healer), Musa Dube argues that in the writings of Robert Moffat and subsequently in his translation of the Bible into Setswana, the person of the ngaka, rather than being portrayed as occupying a central and positive role in Setswana culture, is relegated to a marginal position and is even depicted as evil and an imposter. The article seeks to argue that firstly, there is a fundamental connection between ngaka and bogwera in Setswana tradition. This is because ngaka performed the rite of initiation and was a central figure in the circumcision (rupa) of those undergoing the rite of imitation. Secondly, in his 1857 English–Setswana Bible Moffat alters the word bogwera in Luke 2:21. In representing and translating bogwera as circumcision in Luke 2:21 Moffat rewrites and reorders the political, economic and religious beliefs of Batswana. It is in the transmogrification of bogwera in Luke 2:21 that an act of hybridisation and creolisation takes place through the ordering of the Batswana cosmology and culture. I would further argue that not only did this marginalisation colour the perceptions of the Batswana regarding bogwera, but also that the translated text was used as a tool to disrupt, marginalise, replace, subvert and colonise the spiritual spaces of the Batswana. Furthermore, the article attempts to critically engage with the translated text from an ideological criticism within postcolonial theory, engaging with the fundamental question: why did Moffat translate and alter bogwera as circumcision rather than using the proper word which is rupa (circumcision)? Selected letters published in the newspaper Mahoko a Becwana (Words of Batswana) are quoted and discussed, as it is in these letters that we are confronted with an act of hybridisation and creolisation. The letters also point to the effects of such a translation and transmogrification as a discursive tool to reorder and to pervert the Batswana cosmology and culture. In translating and altering circumcision as bogwera Moffat performs an act of mutation of meaning. It is in this morphing of bogwera into something that is charged with negativity in order to reorder and rewrite through an exercise of transmutation that Moffat attempts to subvert and to indoctrinate, resulting in the subversion of the spiritual spaces of Batswana.
The disappearing Mammy Water myth and the crisis of values in Oguta, South Eastern Nigeria
Authors: Okwuosa Lawrence N. , Onah Nkechi G. , Nwaoga Chichi T. , Uroko Favour C. 
Published: October 2017

Igbo value system is in crisis with an increase in crime rate, kidnapping, stealing, sexual immorality and divorce. Though several reasons have been given for this malaise, the influence of myths on value system has not been explored. To do this, we chose Oguta town in South-Eastern Nigeria, known for its belief and worship of Mammy Water. The intent is to verify if the disappearing myth has any adverse socio-cultural implications on the town. As the disappearing myth deals principally with the people’s life, the research methodology used historical as well as the descriptive phenomenological methods. These methods explain the phenomenon as it appeared in Oguta objectively from the historical point of view. One-on-one interviews and focus group discussion with the natives were carried out, thus making oral literature an important element of this research. It comprises three groups: the first group has the age bracket of 70 years and above; the second group has 40–69 years as age bracket and the last group has 20–39 years as age bracket. Efforts were made to distinguish meaningful facts from fictitious or emotional ideas expressed by the participants. Information was also gathered from published works. The research was able to identify the myth’s disappearance as a major contributing factor to the town’s crisis of values.
The unusual practices within some Neo-Pentecostal churches in South Africa: Reflections and recommendations
Authors: Kgatle Mookgo S. 
Published: October 2017

This article reflects and makes recommendations on the recent unusual practices within some Neo-Pentecostal churches in South Africa. Neo-Pentecostal churches in South Africa refer to churches that have crossed denominational boundaries. These churches idolise the miraculous, healing, deliverance and enactment of bizarre church performances often performed by charismatic and highly influential spiritual leaders. There have been unusual practices within some Neo-Pentecostal churches that include, among others, the eating of grass, eating of snakes, drinking of petrol, spraying of Doom on the congregants and other experiences. There are many possible theological, psychological and socio-economic explanations for these unusual practices. Given the facts that many South Africans experience various socio-economic challenges, it is argued here that the socio-economic factor is the main explanation for the support of these unusual practices. The unusual practices within some Neo-Pentecostal churches in South Africa are critically unpacked by looking at various churches where the incidents happened. The possible theological, psychological and socio-economic explanations for such practices are outlined in detail. Recommendations are made based on the scientific findings on the unusual practices.
A roadmap for smart city services to address challenges faced by small businesses in South Africa
Authors: Du Plessis Haydn , Marnewick Annlize L. 
Published: October 2017

Background: Small businesses are an important part of the South African economy, yet they have high rates of failure. Several contributing factors have previously been identified through literature, including regulatory compliance, skills shortages and lack of government support. Globally, there has been an increased interest in smart cities and the variety of services they offer. These technologies were investigated to establish what role, if any, they could play in alleviating the challenges that small businesses face.Aim: Identify the relative impact of each of these challenges on the small-business and the relative value of each of the smart city services in order to determine which services would have the largest impact in addressing the challenges.Method: This research used these factors and identified which challenges had the largest time and financial impact on small businesses and investigated ways in which a variety of smart city services could be leveraged to address these challenges. Using a multi-criteria decision analysis technique, 44 small-business owners participated in the research. Weighted results for the impact of each of the challenges and the value of each of the services were obtained.Results: Through the subsequent analysis of the results, it was found that small businesses face many challenges because of lack of government and entrepreneurial support, as well as widespread corruption. Similarly, the small-business owners identified that educational material, small-business support portals and eGovernment systems would be the most valuable services that a smart city could offer them. Various sources of literature were used to identify these smart city services and link them to the business challenges that they may be able to mitigate. The infrastructural prerequisites for each of the services were also investigated to identify dependencies and potential problems in their deployment.Conclusion: The various aspects of this study were integrated, and a smart city roadmap for small-business support was subsequently developed. This roadmap will assist cities in planning their smart city deployment, so that they may better support small businesses in the role that they play in the country’s economy.
Galvanic Series in Seawater as a Function of Temperature, Oxygen Content, and Chlorination
Authors: Thierry Dominique , Leballeur Charles , Larché Nicolas 
Published: October 2017

The open-circuit potential is one of the main driving forces of galvanic corrosion when two dissimilar metals are in electrical continuity in an electrolyte. From the existing literature, the galvanic series which provides averaged potential of metallic materials in seawater is generally restricted to ambient/standard conditions or to a limited number of alloys. However, advanced materials have been developed in the last decade and the corrosion potential of any alloy immersed in seawater may be strongly affected by environmental factors. There is a lack of information on these purposes (e.g., effect of dissolved oxygen content, temperatures, chlorination at different levels, or recently developed alloys, etc.). In this work, the open-circuit potential of different stainless steel grades, as well as nickel-based and copper-based alloys, has been systematically measured in seawater under different experimental conditions. In particular, the effect of temperature (from 30°C to 70°C), oxygen content (from 10 ppb to saturation), and chlorination level (from 0 ppm to 0.5 ppm) have been studied. The work can also be used for material selection in terms of risk of bi-metallic corrosion when coupling two materials under these conditions.
The Friar, the Summoner, and Their Techniques of Erasure
Authors: Saltzman Benjamin A. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In the Friar's Tale, the summoner extorts his victims with the promise of striking their names from his “feyned mandement.” Then, in the Summoner's Tale, the friar's companion planes away the names of their patrons from his wax tablets. In these two parallel acts, we get a glimpse into a deep-seated cultural anxiety over the opportunities and dangers posed by various forms of textual and documentary erasure. This article explores the materiality and literary significance of such erasures, which ultimately invite us to revise our view of these two antagonistic tales and read them not merely as a simple expression of quiting, but instead as an instance of mutual cancellation in which the erasure of a name simultaneously inscribes a person into the narrative.
Secretary a in Ellesmere's Latin Quotations
Authors: Farrell Thomas J. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
The occasional appearance of the secretary graph for minuscule a in the Latin Quotations provided in the Ellesmere manuscript as annotations to the Canterbury Tales is not (as previously characterized) random. More than 99% of its appearances occur in passages where El shared an exemplar with Gg. The likelihood that those annotations were copied into El from its exemplars is therefore very high, and the likelihood that such annotations derive from a Chaucerian intent is significantly increased. Those facts have important repercussions for our understanding not only of the origins and transmission of the annotations but of the textual nature of the Canterbury Tales.
The Exchange of Hearts in the English Poems of Charles d'Orléans
Authors: Burrow John 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
There are so many references to hearts in the English Book of Love by Charles d'Orléans that readers may fail to recognize the crucial significance of an exchange of hearts. It is for such a consensual relationship that Charles pleads in both his love affairs, successfully in the first, but unsuccessfully (notwithstanding Ballade 117) in the second. This article considers the various arguments that the lover derives from the exchange-of-hearts trope in support of his pleas to both women—witty arguments, but directed to a most serious end.
CRESCIMENTO INICIAL DE QUATRO ESPÉCIES FLORESTAIS NATIVAS EM ÁREA DEGRADADA COM DIFERENTES NÍVEIS DE CALAGEM E DE ADUBAÇÃO
Authors: Scheer Maurício Bergamini , Carneiro Charles , Bressan Otávio Augusto , Dos Santos Kaline Gomes 
Published: October 2017

O presente trabalho teve o objetivo de avaliar o crescimento inicial de mudas de Schinus terebinthifolius, Gymnanthes klotzschiana, Luehea divaricata e Lafoensia pacari em área degradada (usada como área empréstimo), submetidas a três níveis de fertilizante NPK 5-20-10 (0, 300 e 500 g por cova) e dois níveis de calagem (calcário dolomítico com 75% de PRNT) (250 e 500 g por cova). As medições das alturas e diâmetros à altura da base foram realizadas após dois anos do plantio no campo. A dose de 250 g de calcário por cova possibilitou, na maioria dos casos, o melhor desenvolvimento das espécies utilizadas no experimento. A dose de 500 g de calcário, em algumas situações, afetou o crescimento das plantas, provavelmente em função do aumento excessivo de pH e consequente diminuição da disponibilidade de micronutrientes e/ou pelo desbalanço nutricional ocasionado. A adubação com fertilizante NPK influenciou de forma distinta no crescimento de cada espécie, apresentando respostas diferenciadas com relação às dosagens utilizadas, de acordo com as necessidades nutricionais da espécie. A espécie que apresentou melhor crescimento sob as condições do experimento, foi Schinus terebinthifolius, com alturas e diâmetro estatisticamente superiores as demais.

Published: October 2017

This study aimed to manufacture oriented wood-cement boards using five Eucalyptus species and mixture between then, to compare the effect of the particles orientation, and to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties according to competent standards. The species studied were: Eucalyptus benthamii, Eucalyptus dunni, Eucalyptus grandis, Eucalyptus saligna, Eucalyptus urograndis the mixture between them and the Pinus taeda as control. The bonding agent employed was commercial grade Portland cement types CP II-Z-32R. The panels had dimensions of 48 x 48 x 1.2 cm and nominal specific mass of 1.2 g/cm³. The cement/wood/water mass ratio used was 2.5:1:1 and 2% of CaCl2 by weight of cement was used as an additive. The orientation of strands did not influence the dimensional stability properties. All boards had very low IB strength, being that, none treatments reached the requirements to internal bond of competent standards. The MOR and MOE results indicated that species mixture can be obtained boards with properties similar to pure species. In general, the boards showed low mechanical strength what can be attributed to particles geometry and wood-cement ratio. The wood of Eucalyptus species presents potential for use in cement-wood panels.

Published: October 2017

A Hevea brasiliensis (seringueira) é uma espécie nativa da Amazônia e apresenta elevada importância econômica no Brasil, por ser amplamente utilizada na obtenção de latéx para produção de borracha. Os plantios comerciais da Hevea brasiliensis estão localizados principalmente no interior do estado de São Paulo e se encontram ainda na fase de extração de látex, tendo a necessidade de estudos tecnológicos para a utilização da sua madeira ao final do seu ciclo. Na busca por alternativas para uso industrial da sua madeira, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar o seu potencial para produção de painéis cimento-madeira. Para a produção de painéis experimentais foram empregadas partículas de madeira tratadas por imersão em água fria por 24h, água quente por 6h e hidróxido de sódio (NaOH) por 2 horas; e Cloreto de cálcio (CaCl2) e Silicato de Sódio (Na2SiO3) como aceleradores de endurecimento do cimento. Os painéis foram produzidos com densidade nominal de 1,10 g/cm³, relação madeira cimento de 1:2,75, fator água cimento de 0,4 e 3% de aceleradores de cura. Os ensaios físicos e mecânicos dos painéis indicaram melhores resultados para os painéis produzidos com partículas tratadas em água quente por 6 horas e uso do cloreto de cálcio como acelerador de endurecimento. Os resultados permitem concluir que a madeira de Hevea brasiliensis (RRIM 600) apresenta potencial para a produção de painéis cimento-madeira.

Published: October 2017

Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar as variáveis da produção do carvão vegetal das madeiras de Acacia mangium, Pseudosamanea guachapelle e Eucalyptus grandis e analisar a capacidade de adsorção de pigmentos pelos carvões produzidos e ativados com vapor d’água superaquecido. Para isso, as amostras das madeiras foram carbonizadas sob as temperaturas de 400, 500 e 600 °C numa velocidade de aquecimento de 1,67 °C min-1 e tempo total de carbonização de 4, 5 e 6 horas, respectivamente. Após a carbonização, determinaram-se os rendimentos gravimétricos em carvão, líquido pirolenhoso, gases não condensáveis e realizou-se a análise imediata dos carvões. Os carvões foram ativados sob a ação de vapor d’água superaquecido e testados em relação à adsorção de pigmentos coloridos dissolvidos em água. Para as três espécies analisadas, as menores temperaturas de carbonização proporcionaram os maiores rendimentos em carvão vegetal. As maiores temperaturas de carbonização resultaram nos menores teores de materiais voláteis e maiores teores de carbono fixo nos carvões. A ativação com vapor d’água superaquecido influenciou positivamente a adsorção de pigmentos do carvão de P. guachapelle produzido a 400 °C e dos carvões de A. mangium e E. grandis produzidos a 500 °C. A madeira de P. guachapelle carbonizada à 400 °C se destacou em relação às duas outras espécies florestais analisadas.
Interlaboratory Validation of a Stable Isotope Dilution and Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for the Determination of Aflatoxins in Milk, Milk-Based Infant Formula, and Feed
Authors: Zhang Kai , Liao Chia-Ding , Prakash Shristi , Conway Michael , Cheng Hwei-Fang 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
An interlaboratory study was conducted to evaluate stable isotope dilution and LC tandem MS (MS/MS) for the determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, and M1 (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2, and AFM1) in milk, milk-based infant formula (formula), and feed. Samples were first fortified with five 13C uniformly labeled aflatoxins {[13C]–internal standard (IS)} corresponding to the five native aflatoxins, which were subsequently extracted with acetonitrile–water (50 + 50, v/v), followed by centrifugation, filtration, and LC-MS/MS analysis. In addition to certified milk powder and animal feed, the three participating laboratories also analyzed milk, formula, and feed fortified with the five aflatoxins at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 50 ng/g. The majority of recoveries ranged from 80 to 120%, with RSDs &lt; 20%. Method LOQs were determined by the three laboratories using the three sample matrixes in replicates (n = 8), and the determined LOQs of AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2, and AFM1 ranged from 0.1 to 0.91, 0.24 to 0.64, 0.28 to 1.52, 0.19 to 3.80, and 0.12 to 0.45 ng/g, respectively. For detected aflatoxins in the certified materials, all measured concentrations were within ±25% of the certified values. Using [13C]–IS eliminated the need for matrix-matched calibration standards for quantitation, simplified sample preparation, and achieved simultaneous identification and quantitation of the aflatoxins in a simple LC-MS/MS procedure.
