Stress and burnout in physical therapists
Creators: name: Anderson, Ellen Zambo
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Background: Psychological stress can be viewed as occurring when demands exceed an individual’s adaptive capacity.  Burnout is an occupational, psychological syndrome defined by three dimensions, high emotional exhaustion (EE), high depersonalization (DP) and feelings of low personal accomplishment (PA). Much is known about stress and burnout in physicians and nurses and their association with poorer quality of care, increased medical errors, and attrition. Although a few older studies have examined burnout in physical therapists (PT), most have focused on specific practice settings or geographic regions and the findings have been inconsistent. No studies of stress in PTs have been identified. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to measure the prevalence of burnout and perceived stress in a national sample of PT members of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and to determine if high-perceived stress is associated with any dimensions of burnout. Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used in which recruitment was done through an e-mail invitation to a stratified sample of 6,500 PT members of the APTA. The invitation asked PTs to agree to participate in the study and to complete an on-line survey that included 1) the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Health Services Scale (MBI-HSS, 2) the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS10), and 3) demographic questions. Results: Of the 1,366 PTs who completed the survey, 69% were female and 92% were white, which is similar to the PT membership of the APTA. More than a quarter of the PTs (29%) were found to have high emotional exhaustion. Burnout, defined as high EE, high DP and low PA was found in 13% of PTs. High perceived stress, which was found in 15% of PTs, was found to have a modest relationship with EE (r(1,338)=.21, p=.006) and a moderately strong relationship with burnout (r(1,338)=.359, p

The effect of position on cardiopulmonary outcomes in preterm infants during bottle feeding
Creators: name: Bradley, Caryn
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Background.  Feeding in preterm infants is a complex motor activity requiring physiologic stability, behavioral readiness and the sensorimotor synchronization of multiple muscle groups; to effectively coordinate sucking, swallowing and breathing.  The elevated sidelying position is suggested as a potential therapeutic intervention strategy to support bottle feeding in preterm infants.       Purpose.  The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of position on cardiopulmonary parameters in preterm infants during oral feeding.  In addition, nonlinear methods of analysis of respiratory waveforms (Approximate Entrophy) were used to examine respiratory variability during oral feeding.       Methods.  Twelve healthy preterm infants were studied using a within-subject cross over design to compare semiupright and the elevated sidelying position during bottle feeding.  Outcomes measures were cardiopulmonary physiology (heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation and respiratory pattern variability), behavioral state and feeding efficiency (volume intake and length of feeding).        Results.   The principle findings related to cardiopulmonary physiology revealed no significant difference in heart rate, respiratory rate, percent hemoglobin oxygen saturation or respiratory variability between the semiupright and elevated sidelying position, during oral feeding in healthy preterm infants.  Feeding outcomes did not differ significantly between the semiupright and elevated sidelying position.    Nonlinear measures of respiratory waveforms proved useful in assessing variability in respiratory patterns in healthy preterm during bottle feeding.            Conclusions.  Either the semiupright position or the elevated sidelying may be beneficial for healthy preterm infants transitioning to oral feeding.  Analysis of respiratory waveforms may prove useful clinically for assessing variability in infant breathing patterns.

Predicting exercise in persons with psychiatric disabilities
Creators: name: Zechner, Michelle Robinson

Year: 2015

description: People with psychiatric disabilities such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depression are at risk for premature mortality and morbidity related to chronic health conditions.  Physical activity improves health and quality of life, and shows promise for supporting mental health recovery. Physical activity is a complex behavior with many correlates. To date, no unifying theoretical model has fully explored the motivational constructs of physical activity in persons with psychiatric disabilities. Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) includes multiple correlates and predicts physical activity in many populations, including those with chronic health conditions. A proposed SCT model was tested to predict self-report exercise in persons with psychiatric disabilities. Recruitment of 120 persons from community mental health centers and supported housing programs in New Jersey completed nine self-report measures related to SCT variables, health, psychiatric distress and demographics in a cross-sectional design.  Hierarchical multiple regression was used to test the hypothesis that the model would predict physical activity. Correlation and linear regression was used to test the secondary hypotheses regarding the relationships within the model. The proposed social cognitive model variables of social support, self-efficacy, outcome expectations, barriers and goal-setting practices in conjunction with the correlates of gender, age, number of health conditions and distress from psychiatric symptoms predicted 25% of the variance in self-report exercise.  The model was significant overall, however SCT correlates did not show a significant prediction of exercise after controlling for gender, age, number of health conditions and distress from psychiatric symptoms. As predicted, amount of physical activity is related to the SCT correlates, except number of barriers.  Depressive symptoms and female gender were both significant predictors of reduced physical activity, and less motivation for exercise.  Self-efficacy for exercise was confirmed to have strong relationships with outcome expectations and goal-setting practices, with moderate relationships to barriers and social support. Exercise interventions based upon SCT should address gender and psychiatric symptom differences for best outcomes.  Focused interventions providing goal-setting and goal-tracking skills may improve self-efficacy, and in turn increase the amount of weekly exercise. Additionally, mental health providers must consider type of social support necessary to encourage increased physical activity.

Year: 2015

description: This research used a three-round Delphi technique to attain agreement on the purposes of clinical education, the key opportunities and challenges impacting clinical education, and the future (2018-2023) of clinical education. The Delphi panel consisted of 61 deans whose institution was a 2013 member of the Association of School of Allied Health Professions. Over eight months, from July 2013 to February 2014 and through 3 rounds, the AH deans expressed opinions about clinical education and its future. High agreement was achieved on the purposes of clinical education resulting in a comprehensive definition and goals of clinical education. For each Delphi round, AH dean responses were collected, coded, and analyzed; items were accepted as key factors, re-rated until agreement was achieved, or the study concluded. Agreement was achieved on key factors that could be identified as opportunities (n = 107) or challenges (n = 52) for AH clinical education. The Delphi research supported the clinical education categories identified in the Key Factors Impacting Clinical Education conceptual model (O’Sullivan Maillet & Romig, 2011-2013, p.105). Based on the results, an additional clinical education category of Population Health was added to the model and explicitly added in Clinical Education Models and AH deans. The AH deans categorized the key factors they could impact individually and/or collectively. The relationship the most realistic and most preferred case scenarios had on the key factors provided a deeper analysis into the future. Further prioritization of the key factors is the suggested next step.

Year: 2015

description: To obtain a high level of data quality “high level” must be defined in detail, the current quality level needs to be objectively assessed and a system to eliminate any discrepancy between the two levels will need to be developed, implemented and measured to determine effectiveness. This study focuses on the development and implementation of an enterprise-wide data quality improvement (EDQI) system, for the biobank of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). The EDQI system was designed as a two-part system. One part is customized per the data quality needs of each functional group. The second part is generic and is applied across the entire CCHMC biobanking data system. Results of the two parts are combined and delivered as a seamless data set for end users to analyze and correct non-compliant data elements.  The EDQI system was implemented alongside a vendor developed biobanking software system, BTM (Biomaterial Tracking and Management), written by DSI (Daedalus Software Inc.). A uniform intake process was developed to gather data quality requirements per biobanking unit along with a uniform SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) results output process.

Year: 2015

description: Background: Under current classification of lymphoid neoplasms, majority of lymphomas can be reliably classified; however, overlapping features between diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt lymphoma (BL) with or without MYC gene rearrangement are problematic to diagnose.  Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify recurrent chromosome abnormalities to distinguish these entities and to test for their specificities using predictor models.  Dataset and Methods: The Study involved the analysis of publicly available information and institutional cases. Two distinct datasets were used to build (n = 338) and test (n=177) predictor models. An independent group t-test performed with the Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) was used to assess the differences in the number of aberrations between groups. The Fisher exact test was then used to determine correlations between RCAs and the two entities. A p-value less than .05 was considered significant. Discrimination of models was determined by the ROC curve. All analyses were performed using R; only SAS was used for a logistic regression model. Subsequent supervised models were constructed (n = 515) and copy number variations analysis (n = 249) was conducted for validity.  Results: RCAs associated with DLBCL: +X, 1qL, 1p36L, +2, -2, +3, -4, +7, -8, 9qL, +12, 14qL, 15qL, 16qL, +16, 17pL, +18, 19pL and 22qL. Specificity of models was 85-100%. In terms of the area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve, predictor classifiers were classified as excellent models (0.9 - 0.93). Only the LR was below 0.9. When datasets were combined, additional RCAs were identified (6pG, 6qL, +5, +11, -  vii  10/-15, -10/-14, 1qG and 13qL), with latter two describing BL. Subsequent analysis by an artificial neural network model showed a specificity of 95-100%. In terms of validity, findings from an extended array CGH review showed a number of RCAs correlated with copy number aberrations. Moreover, an analysis of CNVs revealed similar results.  Conclusion: Our findings revealed unique RCAs that suggest distinct biological activities between DLBCL and BL, these RCAs may be used to augment diagnostic accuracy and help clinicians better manage these patients. In terms of predictor classifiers, ANN models outperformed all others classifiers.

description: Purpose: This study seeks to provide a better understanding of how, and in what ways, consumers of digital information are willing to pay for, and thus express their finding of value in, general interest information.    Design/Methods/Approach: The study was designed as an experiment with a control group of 100 participants and three treatment groups of 100 participants each. All 400 participants were instructed to select documents from a standard set of ten documents on a general interest topic. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the four groups. The control group viewed all documents as free. The three treatment groups were required to expend money, time or personal data to select documents.  The total number of documents selected was calculated for each participant. Quantitative analysis was conducted to assess whether and in what way the expenditures had an effect on the total number selected. Participants were also instructed to select what they considered to be the best document from the set of ten and to supply a short reason for their selection so that the impact of the expenditures on this selection could be analyzed.    Findings: 1) There was a significant difference in the mean number of documents selected by the four groups indicating that participants changed their selection patterns depending on the expenditure required. 2) There were no significant correlations between the mean number of documents selected and consumer, demographic or research variables. Consumer variables measured attitudes behavior relating to information and research variables provided participant assessment of the study. This indicates that the treatments were stronger than any tested individual attributes. 3) There were slight differences in the document selected as “best” by the four groups, and the reasons given for the selection of the best document varied slightly among treatment groups.    Value/Originality: A better understanding of how consumers value information and what they will exchange for it provides a significant benefit to both producers and consumers. Using different expenditures to test how consumers may change their document selections provided a unique research setting. An interdisciplinary bridge between consumer behavior and human information behavior was enhanced.

description: Social media provides a unique opportunity for brand analysis. The mere fact that users create content and messages through social media platforms makes the detailed monitoring of temporal variation in brand images possible. This research analyzes data collected from a specific social media platform, Twitter, about the city of Stockholm over a 3-month period to analyze how social media could be conceptualized as a new venue for place brand meaning formation, and to see how user-generated content pertains to the issue of place brand equity. Using semantic and content analyses, assemblages of place brand-related themes are explored. Subsequently, these assemblages of themes are deconstructed at a conceptual level and then subjected to frequency analysis, revealing an underlying typology based on characteristics of the temporal variation of the various types of brand elements. These results are explored on the basis of both how they apply to the understanding of content on social media in general and how they apply to the online presence, or digital footprint, of place brands.

description: Comparative black fly taxonomy has largely been limited in scope to comparisons within a continent, or at most by hemisphere. This gap in black fly systematics has been aided by barriers of language, geography, and specimen availability.   This thesis provides a morphological comparison of 19 of the 26 known world genera of black flies, along with a new genus, Adlerella, which is described herein. This genus is also supported by molecular data. A morphology based phylogeny was generated, providing evidence for a Holarctic origin for the family Simuliidae. The somewhat aberrant genus Crozetia’s basal relationship to the other Simuliini suggests a possible black fly relict.     This study includes the first combined molecular and morphological based phylogeny of the world Simuliidae genera from all of Wallace’s biogeographic regions, minus seven of the known genera. The first analysis of paralogous genes in the Simuliidae is also performed. A new alignment for the 12S and 28S nucleotide sequences is proposed based on manual secondary structural alignment.  Strong branch support and congruence between molecular and morphological data confirm the subfamiliy and tribe divisions of the Simuliidae. Due to particularly strong branch support for the tribe Prosimuliini, it is raised to the subfamily Prosimuliinae, and a new combination for the subfamily Simuliinae is proposed.  This thesis also includes a comprehensive analysis of simuliid species tolerance values based on chromosomal identifications. Pollution tolerance values are reported for the 39 species of black flies known in New Jersey. Species of the same genus exhibited high variation in tolerance values, questioning the accuracy of generic-level tolerance values for the Simuliidae. An index for predicting the occurrence and proliferation of the Simulium jenningsi group, which includes the major pest species of Simuliidae in the eastern United States, is proposed, with implications for control programs worldwide.

When component stresses change or  shift in the future and diverse operating conditions, equipment or components may not be  operating with the same stress profile that was presented when the historical data was  collected and analyzed. A more detailed mathematical perspective is described to analyze  the uncertainty of actual system usages in future scenarios that take variations and  uncertainties explicitly into consideration. The integrated development of cost-reliability  optimization models and a system maintenance policy is an interesting and challenging  problem. A new integrated system optimization planning model is developed and applied  to provide an insightful mathematical representation of the process that more directly  represents the system reliability design process.  A four-stage optimization model is constructed to accommodate sequences of  decisions over time with random future usage scenarios. In the first and second stage, a two-stage stochastic model with recourse is formulated with a system cost, reliability and  maintenance combined objective function to determine an initial design structure and  corrective or preventive maintenance intervals. In the third-stage, the system is fielded  and data is collected and analyzed to update model parameters and coefficient estimates,  and adaptive preventive maintenance optimization is performed. Bayesian posterior  distributions are constructed to provide the model with timely and improved estimates to  reflect the fielded data. In the fourth-stage, a cost saving strategy is implemented to  decide whether the current system design or a new or revised system design can provide  sufficient cost savings beyond a threshold to justify design changes.  The optimization models are expressed as nonlinear stochastic integer programming  models where several tools are used for solving problems. In particular, pattern-search  (from MATLAB toolbox), iterative coordinate descent and neighborhood heuristic search  are the methods used for searching the feasible region to obtain optimal or recommended  model solutions. Theoretical and simulated examples are solved to demonstrate the  modeling approach and results.
Belt drying of supported catalysts

description: Supported catalysts are widely used in the chemical industry due to their (1) high surface area, (2) decreased requirement of expensive active components and (3) high mechanical and thermal stability. Many factories use belt conveyors to dry the supported catalysts after the impregnation. Although the belt drying technology has been developed for many years, the method of controlling the product is mainly trial and error. This can potentially waste a lot of energy and materials when optimizing the product quality. Therefore, it is important to study the behavior of the drying process and its effect on product characteristics. In this thesis, a novel method is introduced using a packed bed dryer to mimic the belt drying process. A Nickel/Alumina catalyst was studied in both one-heating zone and multi-heating zone systems. BET and micro-XRF were used to measure the catalyst pore structure and the metal distribution after drying, respectively. A pronounced egg-shell metal distribution was found in the one-heating zone system. Moderate egg-shell metal distributions were found in two-heating zone system due to the effect of melting point depression and film breakage during the drying process.

Dose finding methods based on cure rate model in phase I cancer clinical trials

description: The main goal of a Phase I cancer clinical trial is to identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a new drug having acceptable dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). Two main model-based designs are continual reassessment method (CRM) (O’Quigley et al., 1990) and escalation with overdose control (EWOC) (Babb et al., 1998). Most of the designs are based on the binary toxic outcome. The occurrence of DLT is assessed over a predefined time window, and complete follow-up of the current patient is required to fit the model. Information is lost by categorizing time to DLT to a binary variable and might lead to a poor estimate of MTD. Trials might have to suspend accrual to obtain complete data and lead to long trial durations and complicate administrative burdens. Some methods have been proposed to incorporate the time-to-DLT using a weight function, such as TITE-CRM by Cheung and Chappell (2000) and TITE-EWOC by Mauguen et al. (2011). A better approach would be to model the time-to-DLT data directly for patients who will experience the DLT and to separate these patients from those who will never experience the DLT given a specific dose. This approach can be based on the well-studied cure model, a type of mixture model.  This mixture model seems to be more appropriate for dose finding in Phase I cancer studies when the time-to-DLT is incorporated. In this thesis, we will develop a Bayesian design framework based on cure model approach to incorporate the time-to-DLT and will extend the current model-based designs such as CRM, EWOC or the hybrid design (Chu et al., 2009) to incorporate the time-to-DLT event. We will call such design as CATE design for Cure rate model Approach for Time-to-DLT Event. To evaluate performance of CATE designs, extensive simulation studies had been conducted and the results shows that CATE designs outperform the existing designs for phase I cancer clinical trials.

description: Poaceae grass root associated ACC-deaminase producing bacteria were collected from four locations in New Jersey pine barrens. A total of 186 bacterial isolates were obtained, belonging to 6 orders, 9 families and 10 genera based on 16S rDNA sequencing. The most prevalent genus was Burkholderia (71.5%), followed by Herbaspirillum (9.1%), Pseudomonas (8.6%) and Paenibacillus (5.4%). A high throughput method was employed to quantify the ACC deaminase activity, which ranged from 0 to as high as 40024 nmol ketobutyrate/mg/h among all the isolates. A root elongation assay showed three isolates promoted root elongation significantly under well-watered condition and one isolate was able to promote root elongation under salinity condition. ACC-deaminase producing bacteria may play an important role in assisting the establishment of Poaceace grasses in the dry and infertile pine barrens ecosystem.  The second part of this study tested the potential of ACC-deaminase bacteria inoculation in promoting plant growth and salinity stress tolerance and examined growth traits, nutrition status, and physiological changes associated with the ACC-deaminase bacteria inoculation. Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) were inoculated with two ACC-deaminase bacteria, Burkholderia phytofirmans and Burkholderia gladioli under well-watered or salinity condition. The inoculums suppressed ACC production in both shoots and roots. Shoot and root growth was inhibited by salinity stress whereas the bacteria inoculation increased turf quality, tiller number, and promoted root development and biomass accumulation of both roots and shoots under well-watered and salinity stress. The inoculation also promoted physiological tolerance of plant to salinity stress, as manifested by higher leaf relative water content and photochemical efficiency, as well as lower electrolyte leakage of plants exposed to salinity stress. The inoculated plants had significantly lower Na content and higher K+/Na+ ratio in shoots under both well-watered and salinity conditions. The inoculation increased nitrogen content in shoot and root and potassium content in shoot under both well-watered and salinity conditions, but caused reduction in Ca, Mg, Fe, and Al content in shoots and roots under salinity conditions. The results demonstrated ACC-deaminase bacteria had beneficial roles in promoting perennial ryegrass growth and salinity tolerance, which could be potentially used in turfgrass establishment and maintenance.
Small group theory of mind

description: The Sally-Ann task has become the litmus test to determine if preschoolers possess a  theory of mind (ToM). However, despite living in a social world where interacting with  multiple agents with distinct mental states is the norm, children are only examined for  their ability to track a single agent. Furthermore, researchers have adduced that threeyear-  olds’ fail to attribute a mental state to a single agent, but because of limited  empirical evidence, the types of error that three-year-olds produced in such tasks remain  unknown. In the current studies, a multiple agent false belief task was introduced to  examine the underlying nature of children’s errors in a false belief task, children’s  working memory capacity in tracking multiple agents, and its developmental trajectory.  Three- and four-year-olds were successful in tracking three agents with distinct false  beliefs (Study 1). But when the number of agents was increased to four, four-year-olds  continued to succeed, while three-year-olds’ performance suffered greatly (Study 2). The  only consistent error pattern, found across studies and ages, was their attribution of a true  belief to all agents, which suggest that errors children make tend to be biased by the true  belief.

description: This article brings three divergent fields of expertise together to take a closer look at President Barack H. Obama’s first 2 years in office. From a theoretical perspective, the changes in the understanding of communication and their impacts on international affairs are discussed. From a domestic politics perspective, Obama’s policy making and practices for communicating these policies to the public are assessed. Obama’s record in responding to the demands and challenges of the 21st century are introduced from a foreign politics standpoint. It is now known that the promises given and the practices employed during the election campaigns encourage government transparency, open communication, and grassroots movements. The authors argue that it is up to the Obama presidency to fulfill the expectations of not only American citizens but also of the global public and address current issues through the aforementioned practices.

Preventative conservation and disaster management planning in cultural institutions
Creators: name: Chisholm, Victoria
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This thesis discusses disaster risk management planning in museum and cultural institutions in the larger cultural heritage sector. Disaster risk management for cultural heritage is a field that grew out of preventative conservation philosophies.  By looking at the history of the field of disaster risk management planning for cultural heritage and its roots in preventative conservation, key elements for developing institutional disaster risk management plans are explored. The intertwined fields share common goals and principles for safeguarding cultural treasures. Using the principles for safeguarding collection material, the thesis explores recent guidelines found on the international, national, and institutional level.  Through the comparison of the international and national guidelines on disaster risk management strategy in the cultural heritage sector, along with institutional guidelines, one can formulate essential strategic elements for the development and implementation of disaster risk management plans for cultural heritage institutions.  Three key areas of communication, awareness, and plan development are discussed in the conclusion of the thesis.
