Effects of an Interprofessional Project on Students' Perspectives on Interprofessional Education and Knowledge of Health Disciplines
Authors: Jutte Lisa S. , Browne Fredrick R. , Reynolds Marie 
Published: January 2017

Context: Interprofessional education (IPE) is encouraged in health care education in the hope that it will improve communication among future health care professionals. In response, health professional education programs are developing IPE curricula.Objective: To determine if a multicourse interprofessional (IP) project impacted students' knowledge and views on other health care professions, as well as their attitudes toward IPE.Design: Cross-sectional survey.Setting: Four university classrooms.Patients or Other Participants: Eighty-one undergraduate students (32 men, 49 women) from 4 introductory courses (2 athletic training sections, 41 students; 1 health administration section, 19 students; and 1 nursing section, 21 students) participated in 2 surveys and an IP project.Main Outcome Measure(s): Participants completed a modified Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) questionnaire. The faculty assigned students to an IP group with representation from each discipline. Groups were instructed to produce a presentation on an assigned health care profession. After completing the project, students completed the same modified RIPLS questionnaire. Means and frequency were calculated. Quantitative data were analyzed with analysis of variance followed by Tukey post hoc testing when appropriate.Results: After the IP project, students from all disciplines reported an increased knowledge regarding nursing, health administration, athletic training, and other health care professions in general and how their discipline differed from other health care disciplines. All students agreed that they should practice communication with other health care disciplines. Other perceptions related to IPE did not change.Conclusions: Undergraduate athletic training, health administration, and nursing students who completed an IP project reportedly increased their knowledge of health care disciplines and increased their appreciation for practicing communication among health care disciplines. Future studies should assess how increasing basic knowledge of health care professions may impact the integration of advanced IPE concepts later in one's professional education.

Published: January 2017

AbstractDacron grafts have been used as a conduit for large caliber arteries for many years successfully. However, these grafts can undergo complications such as aneurysm formation, rupture, and failure. Evaluation of these complications are of paramount importance because of its tendency to rupture and cause death. Imaging plays an important role in identifying and monitoring of these complications, and also provides a road map to the vascular surgeons for early intervention and revascularization.
Enlarged parathyroid glands with variable sonomorphology in a case of tertiary hyperparathyroidism: Sonographic-histopathologic correlation
Authors: Aswani Yashant , Dhume Varsha , Varma Ravi , Saifi Shenaz 
Published: January 2017

AbstractThe typical sonomorphology of homogeneously hypoechoic texture of an enlarged parathyroid gland (PG) is a reflection of uniform arrangement of the parathormone-producing chief cells. A variable cellular arrangement, hemorrhage, fibrosis, and adipocytes cause heterogeneous appearance. We describe a case of a 32-year-old male, a case of tertiary hyperparathyroidism, with increased serum parathormone levels, hypercalcemia, and enlargement of all four PGs, albeit with differing morphology. The left lower gland had two nodules, namely, superior and inferior. The inferior nodule of the left lower gland had an echogenic core surrounded by a sonolucent rim whereas the superior nodule was homogenously hyoechoic. The left upper gland had an echopattern exactly reverse of the inferior nodule of the left lower PG, i.e., hypoechoic gland surrounded by hyperechoic periphery. The appearance of the right-sided glands was that of the superior nodule of the left lower PG. On histopathology, the hypoechoic areas corresponded to numerous chief cells and congested vessels whereas edema gave rise to an increase in echogenicity. This report exemplifies atypical sonographic appearances of PG and their histopathologic correlation.
Percutaneous removal of impacted double J stent in a transplant kidney

Published: January 2017

AbstractProphylactic double J (DJ) stent insertion has been adopted as a routine procedure in renal transplant patients for internal urinary diversion and for protecting ureteroneocystostomy anastomosis. The timely and early removal of stent has been proved to reduce the occurrence of stent-associated complications such as migration, encrustation, and infection. The most commonly used procedure of stent removal via retrograde cystoscopic approach can sometimes be technically very difficult leaving antegrade approach as another alternative to open surgery as the last resort. Here, we describe a case of antegradely removed impacted DJ stent by pushing it free into the urinary bladder followed by cystoscopic removal.

Decadal-scale relationship between measurements of aerosols, land-use change, and fire over Southeast Asia
Authors: Cohen Jason Blake , Lecoeur Eve , Hui Loong Ng Daniel 
Published: January 2017

Abstract. A simultaneous analysis of 13 years of remotely sensed data of land cover, fires, precipitation, and aerosols from the MODIS, TRMM, and MISR satellites and the AERONET network over Southeast Asia is performed, leading to a set of robust relationships between land-use change and fire being found on inter-annual and intra-annual scales over Southeast Asia, reflecting the heavy amounts of anthropogenic influence over land-use change and fires in this region of the world. First, we find that fires occur annually, but with a considerable amount of variance in their onset, duration, and intensity from year to year, and from two separate regions within Southeast Asia. Second, we show that a simple regression model of the land-cover, fire, and precipitation data can be used to recreate a robust representation of the timing and magnitude of measured aerosol optical depth (AOD) from multiple measurements sources of this region using either 8-day (better for onset and duration) or monthly (better for magnitude) measurements, but not daily measurements. We find that the reconstructed AOD matches the timing and intensity from AERONET measurements to within 70 to 90 % and the timing and intensity of MISR measurements to within 50 to 95 %. This is a unique finding in this part of the world since cloud-covered regions are large, yet the model is still robustly capable, including over regions where no fires are observed and hence no emissions would be expected to contribute to AOD. Third, we determine that while Southeast Asia is a source region of such intense smoke emissions, portions of it are also impacted by smoke transported from other regions. There are regions in northern Southeast Asia which have two annual AOD peaks, one during the local fire season and the other, smaller peak corresponding to a combination of some local smoke sources as well as transport of aerosols from fires in southern Southeast Asia and possibly even from anthropogenic sources in South Asia. Overall, this study highlights the importance of taking into account a simultaneous use of land-use, fire, and precipitation for understanding the impacts of fires on the atmospheric loading and distribution of aerosols in Southeast Asia over both space and time. Furthermore, it highlights that there are significant advantages of using 8-day and monthly average values (instead of daily data) in order to better quantify the magnitude and timing of Southeast Asia fires.
The Kenya rift revisited: insights into lithospheric strength through data-driven 3-D gravity and thermal modelling

Published: January 2017

Abstract. We present three-dimensional (3-D) models that describe the present-day thermal and rheological state of the lithosphere of the greater Kenya rift region aiming at a better understanding of the rift evolution, with a particular focus on plume–lithosphere interactions. The key methodology applied is the 3-D integration of diverse geological and geophysical observations using gravity modelling. Accordingly, the resulting lithospheric-scale 3-D density model is consistent with (i) reviewed descriptions of lithological variations in the sedimentary and volcanic cover, (ii) known trends in crust and mantle seismic velocities as revealed by seismic and seismological data and (iii) the observed gravity field. This data-based model is the first to image a 3-D density configuration of the crystalline crust for the entire region of Kenya and northern Tanzania. An upper and a basal crustal layer are differentiated, each composed of several domains of different average densities. We interpret these domains to trace back to the Precambrian terrane amalgamation associated with the East African Orogeny and to magmatic processes during Mesozoic and Cenozoic rifting phases. In combination with seismic velocities, the densities of these crustal domains indicate compositional differences. The derived lithological trends have been used to parameterise steady-state thermal and rheological models. These models indicate that crustal and mantle temperatures decrease from the Kenya rift in the west to eastern Kenya, while the integrated strength of the lithosphere increases. Thereby, the detailed strength configuration appears strongly controlled by the complex inherited crustal structure, which may have been decisive for the onset, localisation and propagation of rifting.

Published: January 2017

ABSTRACT
Thiol-ene modification of high vinyl content thermoplastic elastomeric styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) block copolymer (BCP) was carried out using different thiolating agents in toluene at 70 °C. 1H NMR analysis confirmed the participation of vinyl double bond in the thiol-ene modification reaction of SBS. Surface morphology of the block copolymers evaluated by atomic force microscopy analysis showed higher roughness after the thiol-ene reaction. The thiol-modified SBS block copolymer showed better adhesion strength and oil resistance properties than the pristine SBS.

Housing policies and new schools: why a geographical perspective on education is necessary
While international research gives increasing attention to geographical factors in education, this perspective is lacking in Dutch research and policy. That a geographical perspective is badly needed, is demonstrated on the basis of the proposed policy to promote new schools in the Netherlands. Current housing policies for Dutch schools are described, pointing at disputes between municipalities and school boards who hold shared responsibilities. Next, foreign housing policies for new schools are studied, that is for friskolor in Sweden, free schools in England and charter schools in Texas (USA). Experiences abroad not only testify that very different choices can be made, but indicate that housing policies may in the long run have a substantial impact on segregation and educational inequality. It is also shown that new schools are mainly located in urban areas. It is argued that in addition to costs for new schools, friction costs for existing schools need to be considered. In all, a geographical perspective on education is needed, so as to prevent increasing segregation and social inequality as well as wasting public financial resources.

Restorative Justice in cases of intimate partner violence
Restorative Justice is not evident in cases of intimate partner violence, but it can take and does take place under certain conditions. Wolthuis and Lünnemann explain about the European research they coordinated in six European countries (Austria, Denmark, Finland, Greece, the Netherlands and the UK) on context and practicalities of the use of victim-offender mediation in such complex cases. Cases dealing with violence of mainly men against women and where power imbalances often play a role. That means that mediators, referrers and others involved should know about this complexity and the needs of participants. Austria and Finland turned out to have the most experienced working methods. Their models, good practices and challenges are presented as well as the main outcomes of the research. Interviews and focus groups in the countries gave additional insights. It resulted in a guide with minimum standards addressing the different stages of a mediation process with extra attention for safety and empowerment.
Identificación con los trabajadores mayores y absentismo: moderación de la Selección, Optimización y Compensación
Authors: Segura Adrián , Topa Cantisano Gabriela 
Published: January 2017

ResumenLa Identificación con los Trabajadores Mayores consiste en la internalización de creencias y actitudes negativas hacia los empleados de edad avanzada por parte de estas mismas personas. Con esta investigación se explora el papel modulador de las estrategias de selección, optimización y compensación en la relación entre la Identificación con los Trabajadores mayores y el absentismo. El estudio se ha llevado a cabo con 166 trabajadores españoles mayores de 55 años que respondieron sendos cuestionarios en Tiempo 1 y seis meses después, en Tiempo 2. Los resultados apoyan el papel modulador de las estrategias de optimización y compensación en la relación entre Identificación con los Trabajadores Mayores y absentismo. Las estrategias de selección electiva y selección por pérdida no moderan la relación. Estos hallazgos subrayan que las personas implicadas activamente en estrategias de optimización y compensación pueden lograr un envejecimiento exitoso en el trabajo. Las implicaciones de este estudio se discuten de cara a mejorar las prácticas de orientación de las personas mayores. AbstractOlder Worker Identity consists in the internalization of negative beliefs and attitudes towards the aged emplo­yees by this people. This research aims to explore the moderator role of Selection, Optimization and Compen­sation strategies in the relationship between Older wor­ker Identity and absenteeism. The study has been con­ducted with a sample of 166 Spanish workers aged 55 years and over, which answered two questionnaires, both in Time 1 and Time 2, six months later. Findings support the moderator role both of optimization and compensa­tion in the relationship between Older Worker Identity and absenteeism. Selection strategies, both elective and loss-based, do not moderate the relationship. These fin­dings outline that those workers who actively engaged on optimization and compensation strategies could achieve a successful aging at work. The implications of this study are discussed for counseling practices.

Published: January 2017

ResumenEste estudio persigue un doble objetivo: i) analizar las relaciones entre empatía, conducta prosocial y razonamiento moral prosocial y sus diferencias en función del sexo; ii) analizar el valor predictor de dichas variables en la empatía, como variable dependiente. La población evaluada está compuesta por 1557 adolescentes de 12 a 15 años (M = 13.13, DT = .86; 47.4 % chicas; 52.6 % chicos). Los análisis muestran diferencias significativas entre chicos y chicas. Las chicas obtienen mayores índices de empatía, conducta prosocial, razonamiento moral prosocial, en las dimensiones de interiorizado, orientado hacia la necesidad y estereotipado. Los chicos, por su parte, muestran mayores índices en agresividad física y verbal, razonamiento moral hedonista y orientado a la aprobación. Las variables predictoras en la explicación de la empatía, tanto en chicos como en chicas, son la conducta prosocial (en positivo) y el razonamiento hedonista (en negativo). En el colectivo de varones aparecen, además, otras variables predictoras de la empatía. Éstas se refieren al razonamiento moral prosocial interiorizado y al orientado hacia la necesidad de forma positiva, y a la agresividad en negativo. Los resultaos aportan nuevas ideas para establecer programas de intervención. AbstractThis study has two objectives. On the one hand, to analyze the relationships between empathy, prosocial behavior and prosocial moral reasoning, as well as the differences between them in terms of gender. On the other hand, to analyze the predictive value of these variables on empathy, taken as a criterion vari­able. The sample comprised 1,557 participants (M = 13.13; DT = .86) from 12 to 15 years (47.4 % girls and 52.6 % boys). Comparison of means shows significant differences based on gender. The girls ex­pressed higher levels of empathy, prosocial behavior, prosocial moral reasoning, in the dimensions of in­ternalized, facing the necessity and stereotyped. The boys, meanwhile, show higher rates in physical and verbal aggressiveness and hedonistic and approval-oriented prosocial moral reasoning. Regression anal­ysis identified as predictors of empathy in boys and girls, prosocial behavior and hedonistic reasoning. Prosocial behavior maintains direct relationships with empathy, in the case of hedonism relationships are negative. In the group of boys there are other predic­tors of empathy. These variables are positively asso­ciated with internalized prosocial moral reasoning and moral reasoning led to the need, and negatively with aggressiveness. Perhaps more importantly, more efficient intervention programs designed to foster specific types of prosocial behaviors.
Las emociones positivas y la empatía como promotores de las conductas prosociales e inhibidores de las conductas agresivas
Authors: Richaud María Cristina , Mesurado Belén 
Published: January 2017

ResumenEl objetivo del presente artículo es analizar qué proporción de variancia de la prosocialidad y de la agresividad predice las emociones positivas (alegría y gratitud, serenidad y satisfacción personal), la empatía (toma de perspectiva y preocupación empática) y la autoeficacia social. Dado que existen abundantes investigaciones que muestran que existen diferencias significativas en las conductas prosociales y la agresividad en función del sexo es que estos análisis se realizaron por separados en niños y niñas. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 221 niños, de ambos sexos (42.2 % de varones), de 10 a 13 años (M = 11.45; DE = .80), de clase social media, que concurrían a escuelas primarias de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Los resultados indican que tanto la empatía como las emociones positivas se encuentran involucradas en la predicción de la conducta prosocial, tanto en los niños como en las niñas. Sin embargo, parece claro que en el caso de los niños la empatía tiene una mayor fuerza predictiva que las emociones positivas, a diferencia de las niñas donde ambas variables parecen compartir similar potencia. Por otro lado, la autoeficacia social predice la conducta prosocial solo en la niñas. Por último, los resultados indicaron que tanto la empatía como las emociones positivas inhiben la conducta agresiva solo en las niñas. AbstractThe aim of this paper is to analyze what proportion of variance of prosociality and aggressiveness predicts positive emotions (joy and gratitude, serenity and personal satisfaction), empathy (perspective taking and empathic concern), and social self-efficacy. Since there is abundant research showing that there are significant differences in prosocial behavior and aggression by sex it is that these separate analyzes were performed on children. The sample consisted of 221 children of both sexes (42.2 % males), 10 to 13 years (M = 11.45, DT = .80), middle class, who at­tended primary schools in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The results indicate that both empathy and positive emotions are involved in predicting prosocial behavior in both boys and girls. However, it seems clear that in the case of boy’s empathy has greater predictive power that positive emotions, unlike girls where both variables seem to share similar power. On the other hand, social self-efficacy predicts prosocial behavior only in girls. Finally, the results indicated that both empathy and positive emotions inhibit ag­gressive behavior in girls only.

Published: January 2017

The role of Information and Communication Technology in economic, social, and educational change in the 21st century must be studied within the broader context. This study investigates the emerging themes of researches on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Education in Asia for the last five years (2008-2012). Data were gathered from the different international research journals and conferences. Descriptive method was used in the study with the randomly selected 75 researches per year across the 24 Asian countries. Three emerging themes were revealed in the study, namely: curriculum, assessment and pedagogy. Results showed that the prevailing theme for the last five years was pedagogy and that most research outputs were from Asian countries with a developing economic status. It was found out that collaborative researches were done within countries, Asian region and other regions throughout the world. ICT Education research had the theme which confirmed the distinct desires of the country to access quality education. Furthermore, the United Nations (2005) revealed the potential of ICT to expand access to quality education, to boost literacy, and to provide universal education in developing countries.Keywords: ICT in education, curriculum, assessment, pedagogy, descriptive design, Philippines
