description: The purpose of this study was to identify the extent of agreement and disagreement between physicians and nurses as to the independent and dependent nature of specific nursing activities.  An opinionnaire was developed from nursing activities identified by faculty members of two colleges of nursing which they believed should be independent nursing functions of the nurse.  A pilot study which consisted of 20 physicians and 20 nurses was made to test the clarity of the directions and the items, and to determine the time required to complete the opinionnaire.  It was then given to 235 nurses on the staff of 5 hospitals and 116 physicians who practice at these hospitals.  It was expected that the nurse would select significantly more nursing activities as independent functions than the physicians.  The difference was not found to be statistically significant.  No correlation was found between the number of activities identified as independent functions and the years of experience of the physicians and the nurses.   A significant difference was found between the mean scores of the independent responses of the diploma and the baccalaureate graduate.  The major concensus as to the independent nature of nursing activities was for items representing the areas of patient teaching, emergency measures, providing for emotional needs of the patient, and observation and recording. These activities also received the largest number of independent responses. The major concensus as to the dependent nature of nursing activities was for items representing nursing activities which would require judgments about the treatment process.   These also represented the areas of major disagreement between the physician and the nurse.    Items with the greatest disagreement within the physician and nurse samples were found to be varied and not representative of any one area of nursing activities.  It was found that 85% of the respondents did not consider the educational preparation of the nurse in determining whether a nursing activity should be independent or dependent.    Physicians reported that the main way they learn what activities nurses perform is from observation and experience working with them in the hospital.   Sixty per cent of  the nurses reported that the main way they learn what activities the physician performs is from instruction during their educational preparation, with this information augmented by observation and experience working with physicians in the hospital.  Suggestions for nursing and medicine based on the findings of the study were made, and areas for further research studies identified.

description: We live in a world of right-angle structures. Cloth is made this way, as is furniture, homes, and even skyscrapers. In fact, they are just about everywhere in the modern world. Yet right-angle construction is a human invention and not natural. Nevertheless, there has been virtually nothing written about this important discovery. When early humans began to understand the power of this concept, it was a major advance in their technology. When applied to basket weaving and related crafts, it led to the development of hundreds of products. It gave human-kind a powerful tool that helped them survive and prevail and eventually build civilizations.
Microprocessor-controlled alveolar gas sampling system
Creators: name: Anderson, Edward Joseph
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Synchronous Tracer
Continuous Monitoring

description: The composition of alveolar gas is an important parameter in many pulmonary functions tests.  Most alveolar gas sampling devices are difficult to interface to noncooperative patients and do not allow averaging over several breaths.  A microprocess-controlled gas sampler is described that is further development of a gas sampler built by Farr (1974) which solves both these problems.  The gas sampler employs a stepper motor drive syringe pump to pull a gas sample through a flexible catheter.  The catheter has a think film thermistor mounted on the tip to provide a pneumographic signal for triggering.  The catheter tip assembly is easily placed in a patient's nose of other open airways and does not occlude the passage of air.  Samples are collected over several breath cycles and then emptied into a reservoir.  This automatically averages breath-to-breath values and reduced the effect of irregular breathing.  An algorithm is described that allows sampling to take place over a variable portion of expiration and also compensates for different breathing rates.  A description is given of Clark's (1978) synchronous tracer insertion (STI) method for monitoring the alveolar ventilation, carbon dioxide production, oxygen consumption, pulmonary blood flow, and ventilation-perfusion distributions.  The STI method employs a device which inserts a bolus of several tracer gases during inspiration in such a way that the gases are carried into the alveolar compartments.  The gases are washed in the washed out  of the lungs on a cyclical manner and the washin/washout curves for each gas are analyzed to obtain a measurement of the monitored lung parameters.  A gas collection system has been developed to assist in the analysis of the washin/washout curves of the STI method.  The gas collection system is interfaced to the gas insertion device and to the gas sampler.  This allows alveolar gas samples collected over many washin/washout cycles at predetermined points to be stored n separate reservoirs.  The gas samples in the reservoirs are then analyzed and the lung parameters are determined by mathematical analysis of the measured gas fractions.  A mass spectrometer has been used to compare gas fractions in gas samples collected over the middle half of expiration with directly measured midexpiration gas fractions.  The gas samples were collected over several breath cycles and mechanically averaged n the collection syringe.  A simultaneous record of the expired gas frication was used to measure midexpiration values of the sample expirations, and an average was calculated.  The results of this test show an average percent error between the two measurements of .06 percent with the largest error being about 1 percent.

description: В данной статье рассмотрены вопросы, отвечающие ведущим тенденциям современной сопоставительной лингвистики и лингвокультурологии, где приоритетным является функционально-семантический подход к анализу национально-культурных особенностей эвфемии как проявления вежливости в речевом поведении носителей русского и узбекского языков. Эвфемизм это прямое слово или выражение, употребляемое по ряду причин вместо табуированных слов или выражений, представляющихся говорящему запрещенными, неприличными, грубыми. Научная новизна статьи определяется тем, что в ней впервые предложено сопоставление ряда эвфемизмов русского и узбекского языков, где мы видим, что для каждой из обозначенных сфер нашлось достаточное количество подтверждающих языковых единиц. Несмотря на то, что русская и узбекская культуры очень отличны друг от друга по своим традициям, обычаям, укладу жизни, характерам и нравам людей, жизненным стереотипам и целям, но вежливое поведение, а именно использование смягченных, тактичных, нейтрально окрашенных слов и выражений-эвфемизмов в определенных жизненных ситуациях, совпадает. В ходе проделанного анализа было выяснено, что такой речевой прием вежливости, как употребление эвфемизмов, играет большую роль в жизни русского и узбекского языков и культур, к которым они относятся. Они улучшают жизнь людей, положительно влияют на ведение коммуникации, позволяют избежать конфликтных ситуаций, демонстрируют воспитание, помогают расположить к себе, придают положительно окрашенную эмоциональную характеристику словам в течение беседы. Без этого не может осуществляться ни одна коммуникация, следовательно, не может полноценно существовать и функционировать культура.

Авторы статьи в своем исследовании сделали попытку поделить развитие технологического процесса за последние тридцать лет на три условных периода и показать, как менялась речь молодежи в каждом из них. Какое влияние на нее оказало появление тех или иных технических устройств, средств коммуникации? В конце статьи дается краткий вывод проведенного исследования. В нем авторы, тем не менее, не берутся утверждать, что сленг вытеснил другие языковые средства, которые так же имеют свое место и находятся в активном использовании.
Relationship between antepartal breast care and postpartum breast engorgement

description: Breast engorgement occurs in both mothers who are breast feeding and mothers who are not breast feeding.  When engorgement occurs there is frequently discomfort to the mother.  Breast engorgement may often be a factor in hindering and/or discouraging breast feeding mothers.  If breast engorgement can be prevented or decreased the comfort and well being of the mother during the postpartum period will be enhanced.  The purpose of the present study was (1) to determine if antepartal instruction in breast care would affect the amount and degree of breast engorgement experienced by the breast feeding mother during the onset of lactation and by the non-breast feeding mother during the postpartum period and (2) to test some objective methods of measuring breast engorgement.  An experimental group consisting of both breast feeding and non-breast feeding mothers received instruction in antepartal breast care and a control group did not„  Antepartal breast care included breast massage,, expression of colostrum and nipple rollingo  Three measures of breast engorgement were used:  chest circumference, skin tension, and skin temperature.  With the exception of one breast feeding mother in the control group all of the mothers in the study exhibited some clinical evidence of breast engorgement.  The majority of mothers had an increase in chest circumference with clinical evidence of breast engorgement.  There was no clearly defined evidence of either an increase or decrease in the temperature of the skin in relation to clinical breast engorgement with the method used.  There was a decrease in skin tension rather than an increase.  Although there was a greater increase both in chest circumference and skin temperature in the control group these differences were not significant  The experimental group showed more decrease in skin tension than the control group but the difference was not significant.  In order to better evaluate the effectiveness of antepartal breast care the study should be repeated using reliable measures of breast engorgement in a more representative sample of the population. The pressure gauge used by Geissler (1967) may be of greater value in measuring tension in breast engorgement than the tonometer used in this study.  The tape was felt to be accurate.  More study needs to be done with the Body Temperature Indicator before its reliability can be assessed.  Any future study should include a larger group of women.  A method should be devised to mark the areas to be measured so that they would remain constant throughout the study.

description: More than 100 years ago Gustave Chauvet wrote that he believed basketry and simple weaving were present in the Upper Paleolithic sites he had studied. Yet it took almost that long to convince experts that this was the case. The discovery of irrefutable evidence in the form of impressions of weaving in clay provided the proof. Now it is clear that basket-weaving and textile-weaving were not incompatible with the hunter-gatherer Paleolithic lifestyle and did not require the sedentary settled Neolithic way of life as had been assumed. This opens up the idea that basket-weaving or woven-fiber technology as I have called it, could have begun even in the Lower Paleolithic, millions of years ago. What follows in the rest of this article is a summary of my seven articles over the past year in which I outline how basketry could have begun perhaps two million years ago and then how it could have developed until the rise of the great civilizations of Sumer and Egypt which depended on this technology. I conclude with ideas about how to find indirect evidence of basket-weaving in the Paleolithic era.

description: A problem that is observed in private sector enterprises in every industry is that of  suboptimal innovativeness by knowledge workers, which denotes an inadequate rate of  producing acts of innovation for the purpose of creating competitive advantages for the  enterprise. Organizational communication researchers have observed organizational  communication exercises in private sector organizations that were concluded to be  extraordinarily capable of motivating knowledge workers to produce acts of innovation. My  research strategy is to apply what can be learned from these successful organizational  communication exercises, and to create a universal organizational communication exercise that  similarly influences the innovativeness of knowledge workers in private sector enterprises of all  industries. The assumption is that this exercise, when executed, will motivate the performance of  the behaviors necessary to produce acts of innovation. My research is thus concerned with  constructing an organizational communication exercise and determining its ability to sufficiently  motivate the set of behaviors that are assumed to collectively produce acts of innovation.  Executing the organizational communication exercise with participants from teams within Extra  Space Storage, University Venture Fund, and MFG Financial, provided for a useful evaluation of  the exercise. I used a simple measurement system that measured the behavioral performances of  the participants, in response to the exercise, on a four-point scale. According to this measurement  system, I found the exercise to be capable of motivating the participants to perform the target  behaviors.

description: Traditional creativity tests may underestimate the creativity of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) because of the tests' constrained nature, such as having a time limit, being limited to paper and pencil, or taking the test in an over- or under-stimulating environment. The goal of the present research was to adapt the William's Creativity Assessment Packet (CAP) to use SketchUp™, a three-dimensional modeling (3D) program, as a new forum for creativity testing that focuses on visualspatial creativity. The goal was to develop a more authentic measure of creativity in an environment that builds on the interests and visual-spatial talents of children with ASD. First, the CAP was revised to apply to three-dimensional SketchUp™ projects, and then the psychometric properties of the revised tool were examined. A random selection of 27 student SketchUp™ projects was assessed using the revised scale. Measurement dimensions included fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The validity of the new tool was examined by comparing the creativity scores of the 27 projects using the new assessment tool to the creativity scores given to the same projects by a team of SketchUp™ experts. Results showed that the scores were significantly correlated for three of the four dimensions of the new assessment tool. The tool also showed high interrater reliability among coders (M = .82) using intraclass correlation (ICC). Results suggest that this adapted assessment test could be a visual-spatial creativity measure for children with ASD, as well as a creativity measure used by employers to determine real-world creativity capabilities in their future employees, particularly employees on the autism spectrum.

description: Background In the recent decades, the number of apps promoting health behaviors and health-related strategies and interventions has increased alongside the number of smartphone users. Nevertheless, the validity process for measuring and reporting app quality remains unsatisfactory for health professionals and end users and represents a public health concern. The Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) is a tool validated and widely used in the scientific literature to evaluate and compare mHealth app functionalities. However, MARS is not adapted to the French culture nor to the language. Objective This study aims to translate, adapt, and validate the equivalent French version of MARS (ie, MARS-F). Methods The original MARS was first translated to French by two independent bilingual scientists, and their common version was blind back-translated twice by two native English speakers, culminating in a final well-established MARS-F. Its comprehensibility was then evaluated by 6 individuals (3 researchers and 3 nonacademics), and the final MARS-F version was created. Two bilingual raters independently completed the evaluation of 63 apps using MARS and MARS-F. Interrater reliability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficients. In addition, internal consistency and validity of both scales were assessed. Mokken scale analysis was used to investigate the scalability of both MARS and MARS-F. Results MARS-F had a good alignment with the original MARS, with properties comparable between the two scales. The correlation coefficients (r) between the corresponding dimensions of MARS and MARS-F ranged from 0.97 to 0.99. The internal consistencies of the MARS-F dimensions engagement ($ω$=0.79), functionality ($ω$=0.79), esthetics ($ω$=0.78), and information quality ($ω$=0.61) were acceptable and that for the overall MARS score ($ω$=0.86) was good. Mokken scale analysis revealed a strong scalability for MARS (Loevinger H=0.37) and a good scalability for MARS-F (H=0.35). Conclusions MARS-F is a valid tool, and it would serve as a crucial aid for researchers, health care professionals, public health authorities, and interested third parties, to assess the quality of mHealth apps in French-speaking countries.

The Biochemistry and physiology of the endocytic apparatus

description: Cells have evolved a number of specialized mechanisms to transport molecules across the plasma membrane barrier.  Endocytic processes involve the invagination and internalization of membrane vesicles and their contents.  Conversely, secretory events involve fusion of membrane vesicles with the plasma membrane. The net effect of such activities is the mixing of intracellular and plasma membrane components.  Cells must therefore posses some type of sorting mechanism to counteract this randomization and it is believed that the endocytic pathway plays a part in sorting internalized membrane and its constituents.  The present study made use of a specific tracer molecule to analyze the compartments involved in the endocytosis/recycling pathway.  Transferrin and the transferrin receptor were used to study the endocytic pathway because this ligand along with its receptor traverses the entire endocytic and recycling pathway without being degraded.  Transferrin was chemically coupled to horseradish peroxidase in order to specifically target peroxidase activity to the endocytic apparatus.  Peroxidase can be used to alter the physical properties of compartments containing the enzyme by affecting an increase in buoyant density, and a crosslinking of luminal contents.  The density shift procedure was used to demonstrate that transferrin, low density lipoprotein, and epidermal growth factor are internalized into the same endocytic compartment.  A combination of the density shift and crosslinking reactions was used to determine that the endocytic pathway responsible for the accumulation of ligand does not include the Golgi apparatus.  Use of the conjugate also provided a means to study the movement of unoccupied receptors.  It was determined that intracellular transferrin receptors in HeLa cells are the result of the constitutive internalization of unoccupied receptors.  It was further demonstrated that endocytic compartments internalized at different times remain temporally segregated.  These results suggest that one way in which surface receptor number can be regulated is the by rate of internalization of unoccupied receptors.  The results of the present studies provide a quantitative approach to describing the nature and constituents of the endocytic/recycling pathway.  They provide strong support for the notion that the endosome is the intracellular organelle responsible for sorting different receptor/ligand complexes and raise the possibility that this organelle may also participate in the regulation of plasma membrane proteins.  Further, these studies provide a method and conceptual approach for further experimentation on the role of the endosome in cellular physiology and metabolism.

Multiphase, multiscale simulation of fractured reservoirs
Creators: name: Wang, Huabing
Publisher: name: University of Utah

description: Numerical simulation of the geometrically complex fractured reservoirs has been a major engineering challenge. The deficiencies of continuum models are often addressed using the discrete fracture network (DFN) models which represent the complex fracture geometry explicitly. The primary goal in this dissertation is to explore ways of applying the DFN methodology to solve a variety of multiphase problems in oil reservoir simulation. Three-dimensional, three-phase simulators using the control-volume finiteelement scheme were used. After completing validation and fracture-property sensitivity studies, the limitation of employing the often-used Oda homogenization method was shown followed by the development of a simpler geometric scheme. The important question of oil recovery from basement reservoirs (Type I) composed of fractures of various sizes was examined in detail. Oil recovery and breakthrough behavior of this system comprised of seismic and subseismic features were investigated for different oil distributions, permeability values, levels of heterogeneity and rate. In general having more oil distributed in smaller systems led to lower recovery and quicker breakthrough. Lower permeabilities in the subseismic features also led to lower recovery. The recovery at given pore volume of water injected was rate dependent in all of the scenarios explored, with the lower rate production leading to about 5% higher oil in place recovery. This phenomenon was consistent when viewed from the point of view of gravity number for each displacement. The mechanism of gravity-dominated oil recovery in two-phase applications was explored, and a "critical rate" concept for obtaining higher recoveries in gravity-dominated flow was developed A multiscale upscaling exercise was performed to match the oil recovery performance from a structured fault zone using a single feature with different sets of relative permeability curves. The effectiveness of using DFN simulations for reservoirs containing matrix and fractures (Type II) was shown using two different systems. It was shown that placing wells either in the fault zone or in the matrix can have significant impact on recovery and breakthrough behavior. It was also demonstrated that fracture networks bring apparent anisotropy, and water-flooding from one direction or the other may affect oil recovery. Fractured reservoir simulation is high-performance computing - data and file management, computation, visualization, etc. are integral components of this exercise. A workflow to facilitate creation of fracture networks, gridding and simulation, and visualization was developed. A fully integrated two-dimensional graphical user interface (java-based) was also built.
Information technology choices by consumers and firms

Software product

description: This dissertation consists of three essays that investigate the general decision process of users' choices regarding information technology (IT) applications and products, focusing on placebo effects of software pricing, incorporating user perceptions and product attributes in modeling software product choices, and firms' practices of green IT. Taking a customer-centric approach to users' assessments of IT applications and products, I address the evaluative responses of individual consumers and organizations to market information including price, product attributes, and key contextual factors. The objective of the first essay is to understand the placebo-like effects invoked by the price of software products on consumers' satisfaction, problem-solving performance, and purchasing behavior. Built upon the response expectancy theory, a research framework and a series of hypotheses are proposed. I test the hypotheses with a controlled experiment, and the data supports most of the hypotheses. Specifically, a user's outcome expectancy, as activated by software price, affects not only his/her satisfaction, but also the problem-solving performance using the software product. Satisfaction and actual problem-solving performance in turn affects the user's willingness-to-pay. In order to better explain and predict consumers' preferential choices of software products, I propose in the second essay a model that incorporates product attributes and consumer perceptions to estimate users' software product selection. The influences of product attributes on users' perceptions of product characteristics are also examined. With a choice-based conjoint study, and the collection of additional data on users' perceived product characteristics, I demonstrate that the proposed model can better explain and predict users' software choices than the model with product attributes only, or with user perceptions only, in terms of the in-sample fit and the holdout prediction hit rate at the individual-level and the aggregate-level. The third essay examines important drivers of green IT practices by firms. I propose a framework premised on social contracts theory and institutional theory, and then use it to develop a model that explains firms' decisions. I test the model and the associated hypotheses with the survey data collected from 304 major firms in Taiwan. Overall, the results show global environmental awareness, industry norms, and key stakeholders' attitudes affect a firm's green IT practices directly. Competitors seem to play a limited role, as suggested by an insignificant impact on the firm's green IT practices.

description: This study of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean immigrant college students investigated the similarities and differences in informal heritage cultural education in the United States. To research the various ways in which Asian Americans are informally educated about their cultural heritage in America, one-on-one in-depth interviews were conducted to understand the interactions of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Americans in terms of Asian cultural values. On the basis of these results, most of the three groups of Asian Americans were taught their heritage culture informally by their families, their larger heritage communities, the media, and so on in Utah. The findings of this study reveal that in their informal cultural education, more similarities than differences were found among three groups in terms of who the main cultural educator was, viewpoints about cultural education, and fundamental philosophies.

description: Cognitive diagnosis models (CDMs) are designed to learn students' mastery levels using their response logs. CDMs play a fundamental role in online education systems since they significantly influence downstream applications such as teachers' guidance and computerized adaptive testing. Despite the success achieved by existing CDMs, we find that they suffer from a thorny issue that the learned students' mastery levels are too similar. This issue, which we refer to as oversmoothing, could diminish the CDMs' effectiveness in downstream tasks. CDMs comprise two core parts: learning students' mastery levels and assessing mastery levels by fitting the response logs. This paper contends that the oversmoothing issue arises from that existing CDMs seldom utilize response signals on exercises in the learning part but only use them as labels in the assessing part. To this end, this paper proposes an oversmoothing-resistant cognitive diagnosis framework (ORCDF) to enhance existing CDMs by utilizing response signals in the learning part. Specifically, ORCDF introduces a novel response graph to inherently incorporate response signals as types of edges. Then, ORCDF designs a tailored response-aware graph convolution network (RGC) that effectively captures the crucial response signals within the response graph. Via ORCDF, existing CDMs are enhanced by replacing the input embeddings with the outcome of RGC, allowing for the consideration of response signals on exercises in the learning part. Extensive experiments on real-world datasets show that ORCDF not only helps existing CDMs alleviate the oversmoothing issue but also significantly enhances the models' prediction and interpretability performance. Moreover, the effectiveness of ORCDF is validated in the downstream task of computerized adaptive testing.
