Roles in Nursing
Utah Valley Hospital

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a positive relationship between nurses'role function; mother surrogate and healer, and such factors as job satisfaction and authoritarianism, in a selected private hospital.  The sample consisted of forty-seven registered professional nurses employed at the Utah Valley Hospital in Provo, Utah. These nurses were working on the medicalf surgical, pediatric, obstetrical and overflow units of the hospital. The criteria used for selection of the nurses in the sample weres (1) that the nurse be a graduate of an accredited school of nursing, and (2) that she be presently employed at the Utah Valley Hospital. The measuring instruments used in this study consisted of two questionnaires. The first questionnaire was developed by Dr. Robert Gray of the University of Utah Sociology department. This questionnaire was used to place the nurses into one of two basic functional roles; mother surrogate or healer.   The fob satisfaction scale from this questionnaire was also utilized. The second questionnaire was Adorno's Authoritarian F scale.  This scale was used to test whether the nurse possessed authoritarian or nonauthoritarian persona I ity tra its.  The review of literature indicated that there was role conflict in the changing role of the professional nurse in the hospital situation and that this disequilibrium was in some way related to the areas of conflict between the functional roles of mother surrogate and healer. Based on the review of literature two hypotheses were made.   First, that there would be a positive correlation between mother surrogate scores and job satisfaction. That is, nurses classified as healers would tend to be more satisfied with their jobs than those classified as mother surrogates.  The authoritarian personality as classified by Adorno and his colleagues was compared to the functional role of the nurse.    It was hypothesized that because of the authoritarian atmosphere of the hospital the technical nurse would be authoritarian. Therefore, a positive correlation between the affective-technical scale and authoritarianism was expected.  There was no reliable correlation between mother surrogate scores and job satisfaction or authoritarianism.  The findings did not support the writer's hypothesis that there would be a positive relationship between the functional role of the nurse, as demonstrated by the mother surrogate scale, and job satisfaction and authoritarianism in a modern private hospital.

Computer Simulation

description: As case-based learning (CBL) via computer-assisted instruction becomes a burgeoning instructional method within medical education, its pedagogical value must be ascertained. In particular, the relative efficacy of specific instructional elements that comprise the CBL methodology must be determined. For example, numerous laboratory studies have proposed conditions that may facilitate knowledge transfer via analogy (case-based reasoning). However, few of these methods have been evaluated in complex learning environments such as medicine. The study included in this thesis, The Medulator™ Analogical Reasoning Study"" (MARS), employed an online patient simulation application to evaluate several potential methods for the optimization of learning by clinical novices (i.e., medical students).  Medulator™, a commercial Web-based patient simulation application, was modified to test the effects of case sequencing, explicit case comparison, and user-generated case summaries on user performance. Senior medical students self-enrolled via the Internet and were randomized to complete analogous sets of virtual patient cases in different sequences, with or without an explicit analogical reasoning exercise being invoked for analogous case pairs and with or without the ability to generate user-authored case summaries. Specific aspects of their case performance were then tracked. A brief follow-up user survey was conducted to determine overall satisfaction with the online CBL approach and to determine perceived value of the analogical reasoning component.  A significant effect of case sequencing on analogy transfer was seen only with respect to correct treatment scores (p = .009). Explicit case comparison had no reliable effect on performance. However, diagnostic accuracy increased (p = .002) while treatment attempts decreased (p = .05) when subjects were prompted to write case summaries. The additional time needed to write case summaries was not statistically significant (p = .12). Overall, user satisfaction with the Medulator™ was excellent. However, high perceived value of the analogical reasoning component was not supported by measured results. Manipulating case sequences and supporting explicit case comparison yielded mixed results, suggesting that these methods afford instructional value only under specific learning conditions. However, using case summaries as a tool for reflection and proxy for self-explanation led to significant early and sustained improvement in students' performance.""

description: This article examines how homestead policies, which opened vast frontier lands for settlement, influenced the development of American frontier states. It uses a treatment propensity-weighted matrix completion model to estimate the counterfactual size of these states without homesteading. In simulation studies, the method shows lower bias and variance than other estimators, particularly in higher complexity scenarios. The empirical analysis reveals that homestead policies significantly and persistently reduced state government expenditure and revenue. These findings align with continuous difference-in-differences estimates using 1.46 million land patent records. This study’s extension of the matrix completion method to include propensity score weighting for causal effect estimation in panel data, especially in staggered treatment contexts, enhances policy evaluation by improving the precision of long-term policy impact assessments.

description: The area of gneissic granite on the west side of the Wasatch Mountains, immediately east of Ogden, Utah, was mapped on U. S. Geol. Survey 7-1/2 minute quadrangle topographic sheets. The gneissic granite has foliation of variable intensity and is finer grained than the migmatite to the south. There is a gradational contact between gneissic granite and migmatite.  Within the gneissic granite there are numerous inclusions that have been grouped into three general types: Meta-diorite, Hornblende-labradorite gneiss, and Feldspar gneiss.  Unconformably overlying the Precambrian rocks are the following Cambrian sediments: Tintic quartzite, Ophir shale, and Cambrian limestone and dolomite. Quaternary deposits occur as Lake Bonneville terraces and canyon gravels.  Structures consist of the Ogden and Taylor thrusts, the normal Wasatch fault, and east-west trending folds. Within the map area the Ogden thrust is younger and cuts the Taylor thrust. Both of these structures have been transversely folded. The steep western edge of the Wasatch Mountains is determined by the Wasatch fault.
Breeding from biotechnology: a look at the infrastructures behind the production of flood-resistant rice in India and Bangladesh

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository

Subjects: subject: Research -- Periodicals.

description: This paper was written for professor Marko Salvaggio’s Environmental Sociology seminar. The assignment follows an unconventional format, exploring the material, cultural, and environmental infrastructures that contribute to the creation of a specific material good, in this case, genetically modified flood-tolerant rice.

I was drawn to the idea of writing about Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) after stumbling upon an article in The New Yorker about plant geneticist Pamela Ronald. In the article, Ronald presents a counter narrative to the dominant fear surrounding GMOs by providing the example of “scuba rice” – a variety of rice, bred via a process called marker assisted selection, that can withstand two weeks of complete submergence under water. This rice has implications for providing greater food security for families and communities at the local level. I wanted to learn more about this side of GMOs, rarely talked about in mainstream media. Surely GMOs had applications beyond Monsanto’s Round-Up Ready tomatoes and Bt corn. Dispelling the stigma of GMOs could hopefully encourage people to think critically about what this umbrella term means and in what context it is used.

In addition, by looking at flood-tolerant rice from a production standpoint and through the framework of the product’s cultural, material, and environmental infrastructure, we can better understand the societal and environmental footprint of consuming said product. The infrastructures explore the ways in which knowledge and resources flow from one point to another as part of the greater production process. From the lab to the field, the arduous production of flood-tolerant rice involves the participation, and financial and technological resources of a myriad of stakeholders, but the benefits of its successful development are perhaps well worth the process.

description: Compared to body mass index, waist circumference (WC), and adiposity measurements, adipose tissue (AT) morpho-functionality evaluations are better predictors of cardiometabolic abnormalities (CA). The present study establishes a dysfunctional adiposity index (DAI) as an early marker of CA based on adipocytes morpho-functional abnormalities. DAI was established in 340 subjects without cardiovascular risk factors selected from a cross-sectional study (n=1600). Then, DAI was calculated in 36 healthy subjects who underwent subcutaneous AT biopsy. The correlation of DAI with adipocyte morphology (size/number) and functionality (adiponectin/leptin ratio) was analyzed. The DAI cut-off point was identified and its independent association with CA was determined in 1418 subjects from the cross-sectional study. The constant parameters to calculate the DAI were [WC/[22.79+[2.68*BMI]]]*[triglycerides (TG, mmol/L)/1.37]*[1.19/high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C, mmol/L)] for males, and [WC/[24.02+[2.37*BMI]]]*[TG(mmol/L)/1.32]*[1.43/HDL-C(mmol/L)] for females. DAI correlated with adipocytes mean area, adipocyte number and adiponectin/leptin ratio. DAI ≥1.065 was independently associated with diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, subclinical atherosclerosis, and hypertension. The present study highlights that DAI is associated with early CA independently of adiposity and other risk factors. Since DAI is obtained using accessible parameters, it can be easily incorporated into clinical practice for early identification of AT abnormalities in apparently healthy subjects.

description: The Bradley-Terry Regression Trunk (BTRT) model combines the log-linear Bradley-Terry model, including subject-specific covariates, with a particular tree-based model, the so-called regression trunk. It aims to consider simultaneously the main effects and the interaction effects of covariates on data expressed as paired comparisons. We apply this model to financial data expressed as rankings and then transformed into paired comparisons. Tax revenues differentiated by category represent the statistical units of the analysis (i.e., taxes on income, social security contributions, taxes on property, and taxes on goods and services). We combine data from OECD, World Bank, and IMF databases for the year 2018 to investigate the effect size of socio-economic covariates and their interaction on the composition of tax revenues for a set of 100 countries worldwide. We also present a comparison with a more established method proposed in tax determinants literature and with two alternative models used for matched pairs. Finally, we discuss the implications of reported results for stakeholders and policymakers.

La identidad sexual: la sociedad, el individuo, y la pérdida de la virginidad

description: As a controversial and popular issue within many, if not all, cultures, sexual intercourse is an intriguing topic to examine. While reading Almudena Grandes’s novel Malena es un nombre de tango for a Spanish seminar, I was captivated by the complex nature of sexual identity, particularly as it pertains to the concept of virginity. Since I had never dedicated much time to exploring these concepts, I decided to conduct a literature review. Through my research, I identified various factors that influence one’s sexual identity, which consists of both a social and a personal identity. Societal, cultural, and familial influences all play a role in creating an individual’s definitions of sex and virginity, as well as their perceptions of these concepts. Both popular and personal definitions of sex and virginity often affect how an individual sees themselves sexually and how other people view them. Given that both personal beliefs and the beliefs of others can greatly influence an individual’s self-concept, it is important to determine how to define sex, virginity, and other related terms, as well as to educate people on these topics, in order to promote positive sexual identities.

description: The Tg(Adipoq-cre)1Evdr mouse has become an important tool in adipose tissue biology. However, the exact genomic transgene integration site has not been established. Using Targeted Locus Amplification (TLA) we found the transgene had integrated on mouse chromosome 9 between exons 6 and 7 of Tbx18. We detected transgene-transgene fusion; therefore, we used droplet digital polymerase chain reaction to identify Cre copy number. In two separate experiments, we digested with BAMHI and with HindIII to separate potentially conjoined Cre sequences. We found one copy of intact Cre present in each experiment, indicating transgene-transgene fusion in other parts of the BAC that would not contribute to tissue-specific Cre expression. Cre copy number for Tg(Adipoq-cre)1Evdr mice can be potentially used to identify homozygous mice.
FERS-5200: a distributed Front-End Readout System for multidetector arrays
Creators: name: Venturini, Yuri
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Modern physics experiments usually rely on very big experimental setup where it is possible to find a wide variety of detectors: silicon microstrip trackers, plastic scintillator calorimeters, LAr cryostats readout by a Time Projection Chamber, spectrometers composed of several drift tubes and resistive plate chambers. Moreover, other large and medium scale setups for the search of neutrinos and astroparticles use thousands of scintillation detectors read out by photomultipliers or SiPMs. Nowadays, waveform digitizers and/or ASIC-based front-end cards are well-established readout electronics to build a reliable system hosting many readout channels. The FERS-5200 is the new CAEN Front-End Readout System, answering the challenging requirement to provide flexibility and cost-effectiveness in the readout of huge detector arrays. FERS-5200 is a distributed and easy-scalable platform integrating the whole readout chain of the experiment, from detector front-end to DAQ. It is based on compact ASIC-based front-end cards integrating A/D conversion and data processing, which can be ideally spread over a large detector volume without drawbacks on the readout performance. Synchronization, event building and DAQ is managed by a single Concentrator board, capable of sustaining thousands of readout channels. Using the appropriate Front-End, the solution perfectly fits a wide range of detectors such as SiPMs, multianode PMTs, GEMs, Silicon Strip detectors, Wire Chambers, Gas Tubes, etc, thus matching the requirements of different applications.

description: This study investigates the spatiotemporal variations in jail incarcerations in addition to associations with several risk factors and jail incarceration counts at the county level for the period 2010–2018 in the contiguous USA. The disease surveillance software SaTScanTM was used to identify and test purely spatial and spatiotemporal variations in jail incarceration. Significant spatial and space-time clusters with elevated relative risk for jail incarceration were found in analysis. Additionally, a negative binomial regression model was used to predict jail incarcerations counts based on several covariates and found significant and nonrandom spatial clusters of jail incarceration that are explained after adjusting for these covariates. The results in this study provide useful information on possible associations in geographical areas where jail incarceration rates are higher than expected and demonstrate significant correlations between jail incarceration counts and several covariates. The study and its conclusions provide an epidemiological framework for identifying and addressing geographic patterns of unusually high jail incarceration rates in the United States and provide evidence of appropriate locations to further investigate underlying causes of disproportionate incarceration.

Molecular Biorecognition of Coiled-Coiled Motifs in the Construction of Hybrid Hydrogels and Drug-Free Macromolecular Therapeutics
Creators: name: Wu, Kuangshi
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: Molecular biorecognition is at the heart of all biological processes and has come to the center stage in designing new biologics. Coiled-coils result from molecular biorecognition of multiple protein α-helices. We have designed a series of coiled-coil motifs that self-assemble into supercoils, which in turn function as physical cross-linkers in the construction of hybrid biomaterials. This dissertation describes our endeavors following the hypothesis below: the selfassembly of coiled-coil forming peptides into coiled-coils can be used as a cross-linking mechanism in the construction of hybrid hydrogels and the development of a drug-free macromolecular therapeutic. In the first part, a macromonomer free radical copolymerization strategy was developed and HPMA graft copolymers containing coiled-coil motifs of different chain lengths were synthesized. Results indicated that the primary structure of these motifs greatly influenced gel formation. At least four heptads were needed to mediate effective gelation. The gelation process was highly dependent on the environmental temperature and copolymer concentration. In the second part, a drug-free macromolecular therapeutic was designed to take full advantage of the facts that CD20 is one of the most reliable biomarkers for B-cell non- Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), and cross-linking of CD20 antigens induces apoptosis of B cells. The drug-free therapeutic was composed of two components: Fab' fragment of 1F5 iv anti-CD20 antibody conjugated with one coiled-coil motif (CCE) and polyHPMA copolymer grafted with multiple copies of the complementary coiled-coil motif (CCK). In vitro studies showed the conjugates could colocalize on Raji cell surfaces and a clinically relevant magnitude of apoptosis was achieved. A systemic NHL murine model was used to evaluate in vivo efficacy. Significant delay of hind-limb paralysis onset was observed after treatment. In groups receiving multiple-dose treatment, the surviving mice were disease-free and no presence of Raji B cell in bone marrow could be detected after 100 days. In summary, the possibility of integrating molecular biorecognition of short nonnatural coiled-coil motifs into new smart biomaterials is presented. This specific biorecognition can be used with or without adjuvant pharmacology to mediate a biofunctional process in combating diseases.

description: Stem cells could form the basis of a novel, autologous treatment for chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers. Fat grafts contain adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) but low survival of cells within the grafts is a major limitation. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may increase graft survival. This review examines the histology from animal studies on fat grafting, ADSC and PRP in wound healing. A literature review of major electronic databases was undertaken, and narrative synthesis performed. Data from 30 animal studies were included. ADSC increase angiogenesis over 14 days and often clinically accelerated wound healing. ADSC had a greater effect in animals with impaired wound healing (e.g. diabetes). Activated PRP increased viability of fat grafts. Despite the high number of studies, the quality is variable which weakens the evidence. It does suggest there is a benefit of ADSC, particularly in impaired wound healing. High-quality evidence in humans is required, to establish its clinical usefulness.

description: This qualitative study explored, described, and interpreted the meaning of life experiences of doctoral-prepared women nurse faculty in baccalaureate programs in institutions of higher education. The research was conducted in order to fill the void that exists in the literature on what is known about the lives of women generally and women nurse educators specifically and to provide models for other nurse educators and women who are looking for guidance and validation. Because of the inherent relationship of nursing to the female gender, as well as a review of the literature indicating that gender issues are prevalent in the lives of women, the effect of gender on the life experiences of the participants also was explored. A combined feminist, ethnographic, and life-history approach was used for the research design. Data were collected using a life-path description and a life-history interview. Data were analyzed qualitatively, and emergent themes were identified. Each woman's story was written by condensing the life-history interview. The emergent themes were described using thick verbatim quotes. One theme, which was intertwined with all others, was interdependence. The women's life stories reflected commitment to themselves and their interests such as careers, which were accentuated and balanced in different ways at different times with the importance of commitments to relationships with others. Additional themes included significant people, marriage, children, higher education issues such as administrative and collegial support, multiple life roles, age-related issues, and rural living, as well as themes such as violence, racism, and war. Gender did not emerge as significant a theme as it had in the literature, but this may be due to the age cohort of the women or the data collection approach. Further research is recommended in order to understand this outcome regarding gender. The 7 women were partners in the research, and all of the results were reviewed by the women for validity and anonymity. Their stories are filled with honesty and emotion, and they provide wonderful insights into the lives of women, making an invaluable contribution towards building a knowledge base about women.

description: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints and organs that may produce voice and swallowing disorders. However, little is known regarding the true prevalence of voice and swallowing disorders in RA. This epidemiological investigation examined questionnaire responses from 100 individuals with RA to determine the frequency, severity, risks associated with, and socioemotional impact of voice and swallowing disorders in RA. Detailed medical, psychosocial, occupational, and lifestyle histories, as well as health, voice, and swallowing-related quality-of-life instruments were also included. The results were analyzed using summary statistics, frequencies, chi square tests, risk ratios, and associated confidence intervals (p < 0.05). The prevalence of a current voice disorder was 35%. The majority of these voice disorders began gradually (82.9%), and were chronic (85.7% persisting for more than 4 weeks). Forty-one percent of participants reported a current swallowing disorder, which began gradually (90.2%) and was chronic (82.9%). The most common voice symptoms included frequent throat-clearing, chronic throat dryness, hoarseness, and loss of singing range. Voice disorders were more common in those with sleep disorder, tension in the neck/throat or jaw, among those who were quiet, and among those who were physically inactive. The prevalence of a current voice disorder did not significantly differ across the levels of age, sex, severity of RA, race/ethnicity, income, or education. The most common swallowing symptoms included dry mouth, difficulty swallowing solids, coughing frequently during meals, needing to take smaller bites to swallow safely, and foods sticking in the throat. Risk factors for swallowing problems included thyroid problems, esophageal reflux, tension in shoulders or abdomen, experiencing voice problems with a job, and being physically inactive. Both voice and swallowing problems produced adverse effects on quality of life. These results indicate that voice and swallowing disorders are relatively common in RA. These results have important implications for the recognition and treatment of voice and swallowing disorders in this population.

description: This study investigates the spatiotemporal variations in jail incarcerations in addition to associations with several risk factors and jail incarceration counts at the county level for the period 2010-2018 in the contiguous USA. The disease surveillance software SaTScanTM was utilized to identify and test purely spatial and spatiotemporal variations in jail incarceration. Significant spatial and space-time clusters with elevated relative risk for jail incarceration were found in analysis. Additionally, a negative binomial regression model was used to predict jail incarcerations counts based on several covariates and found significant and non-random spatial clusters of jail incarceration that are explained after adjusting for these covariates. The results in this study provide useful information on possible associations in geographical areas where jail incarceration rates are higher than expected and demonstrate significant correlations between jail incarceration counts and several covariates. The study and its conclusions provide an epidemiological framework for identifying and addressing geographic patterns of unusually high jail incarceration rates in the U.S. and provide evidence of appropriate locations to further investigate underlying causes of disproportionate incarceration.
Why Does the Tigress Roar? Exploring the Role of Female Suicide Bombers in the LTTE

description: Why did women join the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and why did they then become suicide bombers?” There is no single psychological profile of a terrorist. Terrorism is a political action, not a disease or mental health problem. Recognition of this fact removes the study of terrorists from the field of criminal psychology and demands the study of terrorists as rational, and violent, political actors. It also means that it is important to study the operations of individual terrorist groups and examine the historical, social, and political trends that inform their decisions. This paper studies female suicide bombers in the LTTE from both an organizational and individual level. I argue that “the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s break from traditional Tamil and Sri Lankan gender norms in a time of war, when women were particularly vulnerable to attack, made joining the LTTE an attractive option for Tamil women. On a personal level, women used suicide attacks to escape and seek revenge for rape, to find gender equality, and to deal with coercion from the LTTE and constraints within society.

description: Additional file 5: Table 4. Differential Item Functioning Monte Carlo Simulations. The values displayed represent the 99th-percentile threshold values for chi-square p-values and McFadden’s ΔR2 values, obtained from Monte Carlo simulations under the assumption that there is no DIF. When the values found in the empirical data set are more extreme (i.e., smaller p-value and larger ΔR2 value) than those found in the Monte Carlo simulations, this suggests there is DIF. Items flagged for DIF are displayed italic in blue.
Finding Procedural Justice in Baltimore’s Department of Public Works

description: This paper emerged from my desire to bring attention to local environmental injustices occurring in our Greater Baltimore community. For months preceding my research, headlining cases of environmental injustice, like the contamination of water in Flint, Michigan, had placed a spotlight on structural inequities in environmental decision making that adversely impact marginalized communities. I wanted to expand that spotlight to Baltimore and demonstrate the pervasive nature of environmental injustices, by both chronicling and visualizing (via maps!) water affordability and access issues, while considering the structures of power that deter a human’s right to water.

Electrons for the HL-LHC

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The Large Hadron-electron Collider is the opportunity for DIS at the TeV scale in the HL-LHC era. An energy recovery linac in racetrack configuration would provide 20-60 GeV electrons to collide with the HL-LHC hadron and nuclear beams, providing instantaneous luminosities around $10^{34}$ and $5\cdot 10^{32}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ per nucleon respectively. It would extend the kinematic $x-Q^2$ plane down in $x$ and up in $Q^2$ by around two and four orders of magnitude in $ep$ and $eA$ respectively. A comprehensive physics programme on precision QCD, top, EW , Higgs, BSM and nuclear physics would be achievable with such machine. In this talk we will review accelerator, physics and detector aspects of the proposal, following the update [1] of the 2012 CDR [2]. Besides, the studies on the recent proposal of a detector in IP2 able to study both ep/A and pp/pA/AA collision will be presented, including a new detector and IR design [3].
