Family Presence During Resuscitation: Impact of Online Learning on Nurses’ Perception and Self-confidence
Authors: Powers Kelly A. , Candela Lori 
Published: July 2016

BackgroundFamily presence during resuscitation (FPDR) is supported by patients and their family members. Nurses, however, including critical care nurses who frequently implement resuscitative care, have mixed views.ObjectivesTo determine the impact of online learning on critical care nurses’ perception of and self-confidence with FPDR.MethodsA 2-group, random assignment, pretest and posttest quasi-experimental study was conducted with critical care nurses recruited nationally. An online learning module on FPDR was developed and administered to the intervention group. Perceptions and self-confidence for FPDR were measured by using the Family Presence Risk- Benefit Scale (FPR-BS) and the Family Presence Self-confidence Scale (FPS-CS). Two-factor, mixed-model factorial analysis of variance was used to compare mean scores.ResultsA total of 74 critical care nurses participated in the study. Mean FPR-BS and FPS-CS scores were significantly greater in the intervention group than in the control group. For the intervention group, mean scores on the FPR-BS increased from 3.63 to 4.07 (P &lt; .001) and on the FPS-CS increased from 4.24 to 4.57 (P &lt; .001), signifying improved perception and self-confidence. Scores did not change significantly in the control group: mean FPR-BS score increased from 3.82 to 3.88 (P = .23) and the mean FPS-CS score of 4.40 did not change (P &gt; .99).ConclusionsOnline learning is a feasible and effective method for educating large numbers of critical care nurses about FPDR. Online learning can improve perceptions and self-confidence related to FPDR, which may promote more widespread adoption of FPDR into practice.

Published: July 2016

<p>Over the last fifty years, anthropogenic noise has increased dramatically in aquatic environments and is now recognised as a chronic form of pollution in coastal waters. However, this form of pollution has been largely neglected in inland water bodies. To date, very few studies have investigated the noise spectra in freshwater environments and at present no legislation exists to protect freshwater organisms from anthropogenic noise. The present study represents the first assessment of anthropogenic noise pollution in<strong> </strong>a large multi-use lake<strong> </strong>by characterising noise levels of the main ferry landings of the lake of Windermere, UK using Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM). During November 2014, acoustic samples (10 min long) were collected from such areas using a calibrated omni-directional hydrophone and their spectral content was analysed in 1/3 octave bands (dB re 1 µPa). Results indicate that the current noise levels in Windermere warrant further investigation as a potential threat to the fish community which occurs in this already delicate and pressured habitat. Based on results obtained, it is recommended that further studies focus on a wider geographical and temporal range in order to start to fill the knowledge and legislative gaps regarding anthropogenic noise monitoring in fresh waters. </p>

Abstract. We measured volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) at an urban background site near the city centre of Helsinki, Finland, northern Europe. The VOC and CO2 measurements were obtained between January 2013 and September 2014 whereas for CO a shorter measurement campaign in April–May 2014 was conducted. Both anthropogenic and biogenic sources were identified for VOCs in the study. Strong correlations between VOC fluxes and CO fluxes and traffic rates indicated anthropogenic source of many VOCs. The VOC with the highest emission rate to the atmosphere was methanol, which originated mostly from traffic and other anthropogenic sources. The traffic was also a major source for aromatic compounds in all seasons whereas isoprene was mostly emitted from biogenic sources during summer. Some amount of traffic-related isoprene emissions were detected during other seasons but this might have also been an instrumental contamination from cycloalkane products. Generally, the observed VOC fluxes were found to be small in comparison with previous urban VOC flux studies. However, the differences were probably caused by lower anthropogenic activities as the CO2 fluxes were also relatively small at the site.

Abstract. Coupled balloon-borne observations of Light Optical Aerosol Counter (LOAC), M10 meteorological global positioning system (GPS) sondes, ozonesondes, and GPS radio occultation data, are examined to identify gravity-wave (GW)-induced fluctuations on tracer gases and on the vertical distribution of stratospheric aerosol concentrations during the 2013 ChArMEx (Chemistry-Aerosol Mediterranean Experiment) campaign. Observations reveal signatures of GWs with short vertical wavelengths less than 4 km in dynamical parameters and tracer constituents, which are also correlated with the presence of thin layers of strong local enhancements of aerosol concentrations in the upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere. In particular, this is evident from a case study above Ile du Levant (43.02° N, 6.46° E) on 26–29 July 2013. Observations show a strong activity of dominant mesoscale inertia GWs with horizontal and vertical wavelengths of 370–510 km and 2–3 km respectively, and periods of 10–13 h propagating southward at altitudes of 13–20 km during 27–28 July. The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) analyses also show evidence of mesoscale inertia GWs with similar horizontal characteristics above the eastern part of France. Ray-tracing experiments indicate the jet-front system as the main source of observed GWs. Using a simplified linear GW theory, synthetic vertical profiles of dynamical parameters with large stratospheric vertical wind maximum oscillations of ±40 mms−1 are produced for the dominant mesoscale GW observed at heights of 13–20 km. Parcel advection method reveals signatures of GWs in the ozone mixing ratio and the tropospheric-specific humidity. Simulated vertical wind perturbations of the dominant GWs and small-scale perturbations of aerosol concentration (aerosol size of 0.2–0.7 µm) are revealed to be in phase in the lower stratosphere. Present results support the importance of vertical wind perturbations in the GW–aerosol relationship. Observed mesoscale GWs induce a strong modulation of the amplitude of tracer gases and the stratospheric aerosol background.
A Pedagogical Note: Use of Telepractice to Link Student Clinicians to Diverse Populations
Authors: Cassel Stacy Gallese , Hadley Amy J. 
Published: July 2016

Telepractice is the application of telecommunications technology to the delivery of telehealth services via the online connection of clinicians, clients, and patients for assessment, intervention, or consultation. This article describes a pilot project in which speech-language pathology students in a university training program gained experience in working with culturally diverse preschool students using telepractice technology. The preschool students benefited by making gains in communication skills, while the university students acquired competency in the use of telepractice and in working with children whose cultural and linguistic backgrounds were outside of their experience. To assess the training experience, a Likert-scale survey administered to student clinicians revealed a high degree of satisfaction and improved familiarity with the use of telepractice, and an increased comfort level working with multi-cultural populations.

In aanvulling op de zoektocht van de overheid naar heldere definities en verantwoordelijkheidsverdeling van publieke belangen en versterking van de governance van semipublieke instellingen, biedt dit artikel een aanzet voor het verkennen van het nastreven van publieke belangen door overheid en zorgaanbieders gezamenlijk.
Narrativas de curas e exorcismos de Jesus: Uma expressão da linguagem religiosa
Authors: Correia Júnior João Luiz 
Published: July 2016

<p>As narrativas de curas e exorcismos de Jesus ocupam lugar de destaque nos Evangelhos e, de modo especial, no Evangelho de Marcos. Esses relatos escritos têm por base tradições orais, comuns do ambiente do Mar Mediterrâneo, em que havia grande familiaridade com curandeiros, exorcistas e taumaturgos. Além disso, na Palestina do tempo de Jesus, primeira metade do século I, havia grande expectativa messiânica e apocalíptica; Deus estaria prestes a revelar sua face misericordiosa, enviando finalmente o Messias, capaz de restaurar a dignidade do povo de Israel. Nesse contexto, não tardou para que as ações e as palavras de Jesus fossem interpretadas como as de um taumaturgo que, gradativamente, vai sendo proclamado como o Messias esperado. Tendo presente todos esses elementos, o objetivo deste artigo é demonstrar que as narrativas de curas e exorcismos de Jesus podem ser interpretadas como expressão da linguagem religiosa de tradição judaica, que serviu de base para os respectivos textos encontrados nos Evangelhos, fundamentos da cultura religiosa cristã. </p><p> </p>

Papillary Lesions of the Breast: An Update
Authors: Wei Shi 
Published: July 2016

Context.—Papillary lesions of the breast, characterized by the presence of arborescent fibrovascular cores that support epithelial proliferation, constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplasms with overlapping clinical manifestation and histomorphologic features, but may have divergent biological behavior. These lesions are exclusively intraductal neoplasms, although an invasive carcinoma may rarely have a predominantly papillary architecture. Although recognition of a papillary architecture is typically not challenging, the histologic distinction of these entities is not always straightforward. Historically, different terminologies and variable criteria have been proposed for a given entity by various authorities. The difficulty in classifying these lesions has been further confounded by the scarcity of data and the heterogeneity across different studies with regard to the molecular genetic characteristics of this group of lesions.Objective.—To provide an overview focusing on the current concepts in the diagnosis and classification of papillary lesions of the breast incorporating recent molecular genetic advances.Data Sources.—Data were obtained from pertinent peer-reviewed English-language literature.Conclusions.—The recent evolution of molecular techniques has enhanced our knowledge of the pathogenesis of papillary carcinomas of the breast. This, along with emerging outcome studies, has led to prognosis-based reclassification of some of these entities. Additional studies focusing on the molecular signatures are needed to identify potential decision tools to further stratify these lesions with respect to prognostic significance.

Methods of creating and observing atomically reconstructed vertical Si{100}, {110}, and {111} side-surfaces

Published: July 2016

Abstract
We demonstrated the creation of atomically ordered side-surfaces and examined the perfection of the side-surface structures. Atomically reconstructed Si{100}, {110}, and {111} side-surfaces, which are perpendicular to planar surfaces, were first realized on three-dimensionally patterned Si substrates. The 2 × 1, 16 × 2, and 7 × 7 diffraction spots from the side-surfaces were confirmed by reflection high-energy electron diffraction. Epitaxial ultrathin metal and metal silicide films with an atomically matched lateral interface were grown on the side-surfaces. Methods of creating and observing well-defined surfaces enable the epitaxial growth of an arbitrary geometry, which becomes a key technique for nanoconstruction in three-dimensional space.
Impact of graphene–graphite films on electrical properties of Al2O3 metal–insulator–semiconductor structure
Authors: Choi Kyeong-Keun , Kee Jong , Park Chan-Gyung , Kim Deok-kee 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The diffusion barrier property of directly grown graphene–graphite films between Al2O3 films and Si substrates was evaluated using metal–insulator–semiconductor (MIS) structures. The roughness, morphology, sheet resistance, Raman spectrum, chemical composition, and breakdown field strength of the films were investigated after rapid thermal annealing. About 2.5-nm-thick graphene–graphite films effectively blocked the formation of the interfacial layer between Al2O3 films and Si, which was confirmed by the decreased breakdown field strength of graphene–graphite film structures. After annealing at 975 °C for 90 s, the increase in the mean breakdown field strength of the structure with the ∼2.5-nm-thick graphene–graphite film was about 91% (from 8.7 to 16.6 MV/cm), while that without the graphene–graphite film was about 187% (from 11.2 to 32.1 MV/cm). Si atom diffusion into Al2O3 films was reduced by applying the carbon-based diffusion barrier.
Elastic and viscoelastic characterization of inhomogeneous polymers by bimodal atomic force microscopy
Authors: Nguyen Hung K. , Ito Makiko , Nakajima Ken 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
The elastic and viscoelastic responses of inhomogeneous polymers upon interacting with an atomic force microscopy (AFM) probe are simultaneously characterized by a bimodal AFM approach namely the amplitude- and frequency-modulation (AM–FM) method. In this approach, the AFM probe is operated in the AM mode at the first flexural frequency and in the FM mode at a higher flexural frequency. The AM mode provides information about the viscoelasticity of polymers in terms of the mechanical loss tangent, whereas the modulus of polymers is obtained as a function of the frequency shift of flexural frequencies in both modes. For a glassy polymer blend, the AM–FM method provides a consistent result in both the elastic modulus and loss tangent in comparison with those obtained by other methods. Moreover, a significant improvement of the contrast and lateral resolution in the AM–FM modulus image can be observed. However, the current approach shows a substantial increase in the modulus of rubbery polymers.
