Substance Use Disorder: Efficacy of Educational Strategies in Delaware
Authors: Zickafoose Pamela C. 
Published: January 2018

Background:
Substance use disorder (SUD) is a national epidemic. The problem is underreported and gaps exist in nurses' knowledge pertaining to recognizing and reporting nurses with an SUD. The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of an educational intervention on SUD to meet the continuing education (CE) requirement for relicensure.

Method:
A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design was used to determine whether an increase in scores occurred following completion of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing Learning Extension's online course, titled Understanding Substance Use Disorder in Nursing. Eighty-six nurses started the online course.

Results:

Sixty-eight of the 86 nurses completed the online course. An increase of 22% (
p
< .001) was observed when pre- and posttest scores were compared, suggesting an increase in nurses' knowledge about SUD.

Conclusion:
Online CE courses are an effective means to increase SUD knowledge for nurses.

Dishonest Behavior in the Classroom and Clinical Setting: Perceptions and Engagement
Authors: McClung Emily Lauren , Schneider Joanne Kraenzle 
Published: January 2018

Background:
Nursing students sometimes engage in academically dishonest behaviors despite honor codes and policies. We believe that learning more about nursing students' perceptions of and engagement in academically dishonest behaviors will aid faculty in crafting more effective codes, policies, and educational modules.

Method:
Baccalaureate nursing students from accredited programs across the nation were invited to participate in an online cross-sectional descriptive correlational survey. Data were analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics.

Results:
Nursing students do not perceive all academically dishonest behavior as dishonest. There is a positive relationship between perceptions of behaviors in the classroom and clinical setting. Students have higher rates of engagement in behaviors they do not perceive as dishonest. Those who engage in the behaviors considered dishonest have higher rates of rationalization.

Conclusion:

Faculty need to delineate to students what behaviors are deemed dishonest in a course. Eliminating ambiguity has potential to reduce engagement in dishonest behavior. [

Interprofessional Education on Adverse Childhood Experiences for Associate Degree Nursing Students
Authors: Olsen Jeanette M. , Warring Sarah L. 
Published: January 2018

Background:
The health impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) is significant. Nurses need knowledge and must work in multidisciplinary teams to address this problem. This study examined the effects of an interprofessional education (IPE) activity with nonhealth care students on associate degree nursing (ADN) students' ACEs knowledge and perspectives on IPE.

Method:
The mixed-methods approach used a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design with an intervention and control group and thematic analysis of focus group data.

Results:
Readiness for Interprofessional Learning scale mean scores indicated positive baseline IPE perspectives. Scores changed minimally for most measures in both the intervention and control groups on posttest. However, four major relevant themes related to ACEs knowledge and two related to interprofessional learning were identified.

Conclusion:

IPE with nonhealth care students is an effective way to teach ADN students about ACEs and infuse interprofessional learning in a nonuniversity setting. However, outcomes are best captured with qualitative data. [

Catalyst for Growth: The Implications of Co-Curricular Experiences for Nursing Education
Authors: Davis Jeremy N. , Sullivan Katherine , Guzman Anissa 
Published: January 2018

Background:
Co-curricular experiences provide an opportunity for learning outside of a university classroom. A co-curricular retreat was developed to engage students, faculty, and staff in learning about social justice. Through guided activities and deep discussions, participants explored privileged and oppressed identities in a safe environment.

Method:
Pre- and postsurveys were collected. Quantitative and qualitative data, including personal narratives from two nurse educators, were described.

Results:
Participants reported feeling less confident about their knowledge about socially constructed identities after the retreat, with deepened awareness of a need to learn.

Conclusion:

Co-curricular retreat exercises led to new insights among student and nurse educator participants, which stimulated ongoing education. Exploration of personal identities is a beginning step toward cultural competence—an essential quality in the nursing profession. Co-curricular experiences focused on social justice having implications for promoting social justice—a core nursing value—as well as developing cultural competence among nursing students and nurse educators.

Introduction : Les collaborateurs d’élus, des acteurs au cœur des entreprises politiques
Authors: Beauvallet Willy , Michon Sébastien 
Published: January 2018

L’accroissement du nombre de collaboratrices et collaborateurs d’élu.e.s est un phénomène social massif, aussi bien à l’échelon local, auprès des exécutifs en particulier, qu’à l’échelon national ou européen, auprès des parlementaires et des groupes politiques. Il est à rapporter au long processus de professionnalisation de l’activité politique. À la suite des travaux sur la dimension collective de l’activité politique et la structuration des « mondes du travail politique », cet ouvrage propose d’analyser les collaborateurs et collaboratrices d’élus comme les agents des « entreprises politiques » dirigées par les élu.e.s. Il éclaire trois aspects : le périmètre des entreprises politiques portées par les élu.e.s et les relations que ces derniers entretiennent avec tout un ensemble d’acteurs à leur service ; les logiques de division du travail et de concurrences en leur sein ; enfin, la ressource que peut représenter le passage par celles-ci pour accéder au métier d’élu.e.
Chapitre 8 : Collaborateurs d’élu-e(s) écologistes à l’Assemblée nationale : une voie toute tracée ?
Authors: Jérome Vanessa 
Published: January 2018

Les profils et les modes de recrutement des collaborateurs d’élu-e(s) de l’Assemblée nationale ont beaucoup évolué ces dernières années. Apprenant le métier autant que le (dé)goût de la politique, les entrants, de plus en plus formés dans les IEP et dans le cadre de l’organisation de jeunesse écologiste, acquièrent des savoirs et des savoir-faire reconvertibles dans diverses professions. Si nombre d’entre eux exerceront dans le monde associatif ou celui des ONG, si tant est que le stigmate politique, auquel s’ajoute ici celui de « l’être vert », ne perturbe pas outre mesure leurs chances de trouver un emploi, l’activité politique ne sera accessible qu’à ceux qui pourront vivre leur professionnalisation sur le mode partisan le plus légitime : celui du rapport paradoxal au champ politique et aux institutions.

Authors: Opitz Weston 
Published: January 2018

AbstractThe generaAkonesisOpitz,CrusbatusOpitz, andDiutiusOpitz, which comprise a monophyletic group within Peloniinae (Coleoptera: Cleridae), are discussed. The species ofAkonesisare reviewed. There are five recognised species ofAkonesis:A. pictipennis(Gorham),A.privoatusOpitznew species,A. ridens(Gorham),A. strictusOpitznew species, andA. vittatus(Spinola). According to the morphological analysis performed herein, the species treated in this work are thought to be predatory. Colour patterns of the elytra and field observations suggest that members ofAkonesisandDiutiusare involved in Batesian mimicry with Chrysomelidae (Coleoptera), and in particular with Galerucinae. Included in this treatise are: a brief discussion of the natural history and evolution ofAkonesisspecies, one Bootstrap consensus tree, a key toAkonesisspecies, a phylogenetic tree generated by WINCLADA in conjunction with NONA, 15 line drawings, 10 electron micrographs, one distribution map, four photographs of male terminalia, and five colour habitus photographs.
The hosts ofPhlebopenes(Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae), with the first record ofPhlebopenes longicaudataattacking nests of oil-collecting bees of the genusTetrapedia(Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Authors: da Rocha-Filho Léo Correia , Garófalo Carlos Alberto , Gibson Gary A.P. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractTwo rearing records from trap nests set in São Paulo State, Brazil and one oviposition observation show that the parasitoid waspPhlebopenes longicaudata(Westwood) (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae: Eupelminae) parasitises the nests of oil-collecting bees of the genusTetrapediaKlug (Hymenoptera: Apidae). Based on this and one previously published host record, species ofPhlebopenesPerty are newly hypothesised to be parasitoids of solitary wasps and bees rather than wood-boring Coleoptera. Other Eupelmidae reported as parasitoids of aculeate wasps are summarised.
A Coupled Model for Wave Run-up Simulation
Authors: Iryanto  , Pudjaprasetya S.R. 
Published: January 2018

AbstractSimplified models like the shallow water equations (SWE) are commonly adopted for describing a wide range of free surface flow problems, like flows in rivers, lakes, estuaries, or coastal areas. In the literature, numerical methods for the SWE are mostly mesh-based. However, this macroscopic approach is unable to accurately represent the complexity of flows near coastlines, where waves nearly break. This fact prompted the idea of coupling the mesh-based SWE model with a meshless particle method for solving the Euler equations. In a previous paper, a method to couple the staggered scheme SWE and the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) Euler equations was developed and discussed. In this article, this coupled model is used for simulating solitary wave run-up on a sloping beach. The results show strong agreement with the experimental data of Synolakis. Simulations of wave overtopping over a seawall were also performed.
A Finite Difference Method for Boundary Value Problems of a Caputo Fractional Differential Equation
Authors: Lyu Pin , Vong Seakweng , Wang Zhibo 
Published: January 2018

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a two-point boundary value problem with Caputo fractional derivative, where the second order derivative of the exact solution is unbounded. Based on the equivalent form of the main equation, a finite difference scheme is derived. The L∞ convergence of the difference system is discussed rigorously. The convergence rate in general improves previous results. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the theoretical results.
A Convergence Analysis of the MINRES Method for Some Hermitian Indefinite Systems
Authors: Xie Ze-Jia , Jin Xiao-Qing , Zhao Zhi 
Published: January 2018

AbstractSome convergence bounds of theminimalresidual (MINRES) method are studied when the method is applied for solving Hermitian indefinite linear systems. The matrices of these linear systems are supposed to have some properties so that their spectra are all clustered around ±1. New convergence bounds depending on the spectrum of the coefficient matrix are presented. Some numerical experiments are shown to demonstrate our theoretical results.
A Fifth-Order Combined Compact Difference Scheme for Stokes Flow on Polar Geometries
Authors: He Dongdong , Pan Kejia 
Published: January 2018

AbstractIncompressible flows with zero Reynolds number can be modeled by the Stokes equations. When numerically solving the Stokes flow in stream-vorticity formulation with high-order accuracy, it will be important to solve both the stream function and velocity components with the high-order accuracy simultaneously. In this work, we will develop a fifth-order spectral/combined compact difference (CCD) method for the Stokes equation in stream-vorticity formulation on the polar geometries, including a unit disk and an annular domain. We first use the truncated Fourier series to derive a coupled system of singular ordinary differential equations for the Fourier coefficients, then use a shifted grid to handle the coordinate singularity without pole condition. More importantly, a three-point CCD scheme is developed to solve the obtained system of differential equations. Numerical results are presented to show that the proposed spectral/CCD method can obtain all physical quantities in the Stokes flow, including the stream function and vorticity function as well as all velocity components, with fifth-order accuracy, which is much more accurate and efficient than low-order methods in the literature.

Authors: Tal-Saban Miri , Ornoy Asher , Parush Shula 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to conduct a broad in-depth examination of the relationship between developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and use of executive strategies, daily life activities, emotional state, and internal factors attributed to success.
METHOD. We used a large randomized cohort of young adults. Structural equation modeling was performed to test both the direct effects and the mediated effects of the independent variable (probable DCD) on dependent variables (executive functions, academic and nonacademic activities, emotional state, and attribution to success).
RESULTS. Probable DCD had a direct and significant effect on all variables. Motor coordination impairments directly affected daily function in nonacademic and academic abilities and resulted in decreased use of executive strategies. Likewise, all the indirect effects hypothesized in the model were found to be significant.
CONCLUSION. The model revealed the direct and indirect influences of probable DCD on a range of functions, with far-reaching clinical implications.
A correlation study regarding the AE index and ACE solar wind data for Alfvénic intervals using wavelet decomposition and reconstruction

Published: January 2018

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to present a wavelet interactive filtering and reconstruction technique and apply this to the solar wind magnetic field components detected at the L1 Lagrange point  ∼  0.01 AU upstream of the Earth. These filtered interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) data are fed into a model to calculate a time series which we call AE∗. This model was adjusted assuming that magnetic reconnection associated with southward-directed IMF Bz is the main mechanism transferring energy into the magnetosphere. The calculated AE∗ was compared to the observed AE (auroral electrojet) index using cross-correlation analysis. The results show correlations as high as 0.90. Empirical removal of the high-frequency, short-wavelength Alfvénic component in the IMF by wavelet decomposition is shown to dramatically improve the correlation between AE∗ and the observed AE index. It is envisioned that this AE∗ can be used as the main input for a model to forecast relativistic electrons in the Earth's outer radiation belts, which are delayed by  ∼  1 to 2 days from intense AE events.
The hidden ecological resource of andic soils in mountain ecosystems: evidence from Italy
Authors: Terribile Fabio , Iamarino Michela , Langella Giuliano , Manna Piero , Mileti Florindo Antonio , Vingiani Simona , Basile Angelo 
Published: January 2018

Abstract. Andic soils have unique morphological, physical, and chemical properties that induce both considerable soil fertility and great vulnerability to land degradation. Moreover, they are the most striking mineral soils in terms of large organic C storage and long C residence time. This is especially related to the presence of poorly crystalline clay minerals and metal–humus complexes. Recognition of andic soils is then very important.Here we attempt to show, through a combined analysis of 35 sampling points chosen in accordance to specific physical and vegetation rules, that some andic soils have an utmost ecological importance.More specifically, in Italian non-volcanic mountain ecosystems ( > 600 m a.s.l.) combining low slope (< 21 %) and highly active green biomass (high NDVI values) and in agreement to recent findings, we found the widespread occurrence of andic soils having distinctive physical and hydrological properties including low bulk density and remarkably high water retention. Most importantly, we report a demonstration of the ability of these soils to affect ecosystem functions by analysing their influence on the timescale acceleration of photosynthesis estimated by NDVI measurements.Our results are hoped to be a starting point for better understanding of the ecological importance of andic soils and also possibly to better consider pedological information in C balance calculations.
“The Distant, Rising Note of Requiem”: Liberal and Conservative Hopes and Fears during the Korean War
Authors: Cash Dane J. 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
This article examines the responses of some of America's leading political commentators to the Korean War, 1950–53. Many on both sides of the political spectrum were terrified that Korea would prove to be the opening salvo of World War III, potentially culminating in global nuclear annihilation. By war's end, conservatives in particular had largely concluded that the American “defeat” in Korea marked a turning point in history, namely, the beginning of the end of the American empire. These debates reveal much about the origins of modern conservatism and also shed light on the ways in which debates about a multilateral vs. unilateral foreign policy persist into our own time. The article concludes by examining whether viewing the hopes and fears of a given historical crisis through the long view of history can bring a useful perspective to analyzing our own hopes and fears as we begin a new era in American political history in 2017.

Published: January 2018

AbstractResearchers have recently revealed that hybrid lead halide perovskites exhibit ferroelectricity, which is often associated with other physical characteristics, such as a large nonlinear optical response. In this work, the nonlinear optical properties of single crystal inorganic–organic hybrid perovskite CH3NH3PbBr3 are studied. By exciting the material with a 1044 nm laser, strong two‐photon absorption‐induced photoluminescence in the green spectral region is observed. Using the transmission open‐aperture Z‐scan technique, the values of the two‐photon absorption coefficient are observed to be 8.5 cm GW−1, which is much higher than that of standard two‐photon absorbing materials that are industrially used in nonlinear optical applications, such as lithium niobate (LiNbO3), LiTaO3, KTiOPO4, and KH2PO4. Such a strong two‐photon absorption effect in CH3NH3PbBr3 can be used to modulate the spectral and spatial profiles of laser pulses, as well as to reduce noise, and can be used to strongly control the intensity of incident light. In this study, the superior optical limiting, pulse reshaping, and stabilization properties of CH3NH3PbBr3 are demonstrated, opening new applications for perovskites in nonlinear optics.
Diarylethenes with a Narrow Singlet–Triplet Energy Gap Sensitizer: a Simple Strategy for Efficient Visible‐Light Photochromism
Authors: Zhang Zhiwei , Zhang Junji , Wu Bin , Li Xin , Chen Yi , Huang Jinhai , Zhu Liangliang , Tian He 
Published: January 2018

AbstractAll‐organic visible‐light photochromism is reported here via a novel strategy with narrow singlet–triplet energy gap (ΔEST) materials as a sensitizer. Taking advantage of the narrow ΔEST feature and the triplet–triplet energy transfer process, highly efficient photochromism of diarylethenes (DAEs) with both ring‐open and ring‐closure excitations shifted to visible light region is successfully achieved. Moreover, the wavelength of the visible excitation light can be easily modulated (e.g., from 405 to 470 nm) by elaborate selection of matched sensitized molecules. The “write‐and‐erase” application of this photochromic system in polymer films is further demonstrated. This strategy provides a simple and versatile selection of well‐matched DAE/sensitizer couples for visible‐light photochromism without complicated molecular design.
Ionogel Electrolytes for High‐Performance Lithium Batteries: A Review
Authors: Chen Nan , Zhang Haiqin , Li Li , Chen Renjie , Guo Shaojun 
Published: January 2018

AbstractIonic liquids (ILs) are important electrolytes for applications in electrochemical devices. An emerging trend in ILs research is their hybridization with solid matrices, named ionogels. These ionogels can not only overcome the fluidity of ILs but also exhibit high mechanical strength of the solid matrix. Therefore, they show promise for applications in building lithium batteries. In this review, various types of solid matrices for confining ILs are summarized, including nonmetallic oxides, metal oxides, IL‐tethered nanoparticles, functionalized SiO2, metal–organic frameworks, and other structural materials. The synthetic strategies for ionogels are first documented, focusing on physical confinement and covalent grafting. Then, the structure, ionic conductivity, thermal stability, and electrochemical stability of ionogels are addressed in detail. Furthermore, the authors highlight the potential applications of state‐of‐art ionogels in lithium batteries. The authors conclude this review by outlining the remaining challenges as well as personal perspectives on this hot area of research.
