The relationship among organizational structures, patient safety practices, and patient safety event reporting among nurses in hospitals in the United States
Creators: name: Wafer, Mary Ann
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: This study was undertaken to address a gap in knowledge by examining the interrelationships among organizational structures (hospital and nurse characteristics); patient safety practice dimensions of patient safety culture; and patient safety event reporting among Registered Nurses (RNs) who work in U.S. hospitals. Little is known of the extent to which hospital and nurse characteristics interact with patient safety practices to influence the patient safety event reporting practices of RNs working in U.S. hospitals.  Method: Donabedian’s Healthcare Quality Model and the Patient Safety Culture Framework guided this research in exploring the interrelationships among hospital and nurse characteristics, patient safety practices, and patient safety event reporting practices of nurses working in U.S. hospitals.  The study commenced following approval from the Institutional Review Board of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Data used in this analysis were from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture Comparative Database. The database is funded by AHRQ and managed by Westat under contract # HHSA 290201300003C. Data from U.S. hospitals that voluntarily submitted their Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) data to the AHRQ collected during July 2011 through June 2013 was analyzed.  Results:  Hospital bed size, ownership status, and two geographic regions were independent predictors of the frequency of event/near miss reporting and the number of event reports completed.  The number of hours worked/week was a significant independent predictor of the frequency of event/near miss reporting.  Amount of experience in the profession was a significant independent predictor of the number of event reports completed.  Manager safety practices had the biggest effect on predicting event/near miss reporting.  Mediation testing revealed a full or partial mediating role of all patient safety practices in the relationship between hospital or nurse characteristics and patient safety event reporting outcomes.  Conclusion:  All hospital characteristics and patient safety practices were significantly related to one or both event reporting outcomes.  All nurse characteristics were significantly related to one of the two event reporting outcomes. Patient safety practices serve as a mediator between hospital and nurse characteristics and the frequency of event/near miss reporting.
A laboratory study to develop a permeability model for unconsolidated glass bead packs by combining NMR and SIP measured parameters

description: The greatest advantage of geophysical measurements is their ability to quickly, cheaply, and non-invasively provide detailed subsurface information.  Therefore, a multitude of research has been conducted to investigate an accurate and robust relationship between geophysical measurements and permeability, a key parameter in any subsurface investigation.  In pursuit of this goal, two methods, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Spectral Induced Polarization (SIP), have proven to be useful and reliable tools for environmental investigations and permeability estimates.  However, as with any geophysical method, NMR and SIP have their weaknesses, namely, the uncertainty associated with indirect measurements of the subsurface.  This research explores whether a model that combines NMR and SIP parameters to estimate permeability is more accurate and robust than current models based on NMR and SIP data alone.  In this research, NMR, SIP, and permeability measurements were made on glass bead packs meant to simulate natural unconsolidated aquifer or soil material.  The surface roughness and bead size of these beads were altered in order to change the pore scale properties controlling permeability.  Bead size appeared to have had a greater influence than surface roughness on the permeability of the glass bead packs.  Measured permeability was compared to a common NMR permeability model and an SIP model designed for unconsolidated material.  Both methods performed reasonably well with similar root mean square error (RMSE) and decent correlation with measured permeability.  A combined NMR and SIP model was created by utilizing NMR measured peak relaxation time and SIP measured grain size and formation factor, and produced only slightly better estimates of permeability than the single method models.  While a more accurate permeability model could not be formulated for this experiment, combining NMR and SIP data not only produced a comparable permeability model, but also identified the pore scale properties most relevant to the permeability of the glass bead packs.

Three essays on market reactions to regulatory changes in the information environment
Creators: name: Xin, Hua
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: My essays research on the information environment change due to the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (hereafter, SOX). SOX was enacted in 2002 to reform the financial market following a series of corporate scandals that negatively impacted investors’ trust in the integrity of financial reporting. SOX has two main sections that are related specifically to internal control issues within public companies. The two provisions, Sections 302 and 404, focus on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting (hereafter, ICOFR) and were enacted mainly to improve corporate financial reporting (Bedard et al. 2009), and arguably, have a great potential for doing so (Nicolaisen 2004). The effects of SOX in improving financial reporting has been verified by number of papers (e.g. Bedard 2006; Nagy 2010; Bizzaro et al. 2010). In particular, Section 302, which became effective on August 29, 2002, requires top officers of all public firms to disclose quarterly all MWs in the firm’s ICOFR. Beginning with fiscal year ending after November 15, 2004, Section 404 requires accelerated filers to assess the effectiveness of the ICOFR, and their auditors to both make their evaluation and to attest to management’s findings. In compliance with Section 404, non-accelerated filers are required, starting with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2007, to only document a management report on ICOFR. Prior literature find SOX increases both financial information quality and internal control efficiency. Based on these results, my essay tests the effects of improved information quality in three different areas.  The first essay examines the audit market structure after SOX. Cross-sectional differences in audit fees can represent either the effect of quantity differences (in terms of hours of audit) or price differences in terms of an hourly fee (Simunic 1980a).  My second essay examines whether SOX improves the information precision and leads to a faster reaction to information.  My third essay examines whether SOX affects the boldness of analysts’ stock recommendations.

The association of p75NTR and co-receptors in hippocampal neurons and astrocytes
Creators: name: Yarotsky, John J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Neurons in the hippocampus are dependent on neurotrophins for survival. Upon injury, proneurotrophins cause hippocampal neurons to undergo apoptosis. These two distinct effects can be mediated by the interaction of p75NTR with different co-receptors. Trk receptors typically signal for survival and the signaling is enhanced in the presence of p75NTR. Apoptotic signaling through proneurotrophins is dependent on the presence of p75NTR and sortilin. The work in this thesis demonstrates that the association of p75NTR and TrkB, and the association of p75NTR with sortilin are both ligand dependent. The association of p75NTR and TrkB is dependent on internalization of the complex and TrkB activation . Sortilin and p75NTR associated both on the cell surface and in intracellular vesicles.    Hippocampal astrocytes also express these receptors but do not signal for death upon proneurotophin treatment and are not dependent on mature neurotrophins for survival.  This thesis demonstrates that the interaction of p75NTR and sortilin does not occur on hippocampal astrocytes. TrkB and p75NTR present on hippocampal astrocytes do not increase their association following treatment with BDNF.    Taken together, the different responses between hippocampal neurons and astrocytes may be partially determined by limiting the interactions of p75NTR and co- receptors on astocytes.     The data in this thesis demonstrate that the association of p75 with different co- receptors may determine the trafficking of these receptors through intracellular compartments, which is likely to influence intracellular signaling and the functional response of neurons and astrocytes to these factors.

An investigation of stock and option markets, and their interactions
Creators: name: Zhao, Chen
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: My dissertation comprises of three essays:  1) Large price changes and subsequent returns; 2) Using option implied volatilities to predict absolute stock returns: Evidence from earnings announcements and annual shareholders’ meetings; and 3) How do short-sale constraints affect options trading? Evidence from Regulation SHO.       The first essay investigates whether large stock price changes are associated with short-term reversals or momentum, conditional on analyst price target or earnings forecast revisions immediately following these price changes. We find momentum when analysts issue revisions after large price shocks, suggesting that the initial price changes were based on new information. In contrast, when price changes are not followed by immediate analyst revisions, we document short-term reversals, indicating that the initial price shocks were caused by liquidity or noise traders. A trading strategy based on the direction of the price change and analyst revisions earns significant abnormal monthly returns (over 1 percent).       The second essay provides evidence that an option implied volatility-based measure predicts future absolute excess returns of the underlying stock around earnings announcements and annual meetings of shareholders. Our results imply that option traders anticipate the change in uncertainty and trade on the expected volatility around these scheduled events. We also show that net straddle returns (after transaction costs) are significantly and negatively related to the predicted volatility of returns around the events, suggesting that the option writers expect to be compensated for the predicted volatility.       The third essay investigates the effect of stock short-sale constraints on options trading by exploiting two SEC rules under Regulation SHO: Rule 203(locate and close-out requirement) and Rule 202T (temporary removal of short-sale price tests for pilot stocks). We find a significant decrease in short interests of stocks after Rule 203, and a significant increase in short-sale volume of pilot stocks after Rule 202T, supporting the validity of Rule 203/Rule 202T as exogenous increase/decrease in short-sale constraints. After Rule 203, options volume increases significantly, especially among firms with low institutional ownership and low option bid-ask spread. However, we find no significant changes in the option trading volume of pilot stocks (relative to control stocks) after Rule 202T.

Models to select chemotherapy, endocrine therapy or biologic agent to advance to phase III trials for advanced breast cancer
Creators: name: Chen, Xinqun
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: In order to improve the success rate of oncology phase III trials giving promising results in previous phase II studies, the Exponential-Gamma statistical model based on Bayesian framework is adopted and applied into the oncology drug trial for patients with the advanced breast cancer to provide insight of the likelihood that experimental regimen will provide a clinical benefit such as prolongation of survival compared with standard therapy in subsequent phase III clinical trials to make a phase III go/no go decision. The Bayesian statistical model is a hybrid Bayesian/frequentist approach where the phase III test is still in the classical (frequentist) framework, and the preceding phase II or phase III studies are used to evaluate the probability of success of such a phase III test by a Bayesian approach. The information extracted from advanced breast cancer clinical trials from 1990 to 2012 and survival data from phase II or III studies of the experimental and control regimens are used to model the survival hazard distributions for the two regimens. In addition, the existing statistical method is expanded to include two new models, the Weibull-Inverse Gamma model and Piece-wise Exponential model to derive the expected power. We study and explore retrospectively the consistence and inconsistence between calculated expected powers and the significance of actual subsequent phase III study results with endpoints of progression free survival and overall survival, and evaluate the validity of the expected power model in predicting the likelihood of successful phase III trials.       Based on our experience in advanced breast cancer, an expected power of greater than 0.59 with the Exponential-Gamma model, and of greater than 0.64 with the Weibull-Inverse Gamma model provide a reasonable base to proceed to a phase III study. However, due to limitation of data, we cannot evaluate the validity of the Piece-wise Exponential method, nor provide suggestion of cut-off value of expected power for later phase III studies.

Integrating goal-setting in health and physical education classes to increase physical activity levels among middle school students
Creators: name: Liang, Laura E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Background:  Regular physical activity is essential to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Being active can reduce the risk for many chronic diseases and disabilities, including heart disease, stroke, non-insulin dependent diabetes, and some cancers.  Objective: To determine whether a theory-based physical activity curriculum addition to a school district’s existing physical activity curriculum (in health and PE classes) targeting goal-setting, or the Social Cognitive Theory construct of self-regulation, increases middle school students’ physical activity levels.  Methods: Woodbridge Township School District, a large and diverse district located in central New Jersey, participated in this study. Four middle schools were randomly assigned to one of three treatment levels and one middle school was randomly assigned as a control group.  Treatment schools implemented the study’s theory-based goal-setting curriculum supplement which included five lessons. The study used a mixed-methods repeated measures randomized design.  Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to collect data to evaluate the effectiveness of the physical activity intervention.  The primary outcome variable was moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) which was determined by the number of blocks reported by students on the 3-Day Physical Activity Recall (3DPAR). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and linear modeling. Results:  Students in the three treatment groups (n=621) were similar in gender to the control group (n=334), but not for age and race/ethnicity. Aggregate baseline data revealed a mean of 4.48 30-minute blocks of MVPA. More than two-thirds of the students in the study reported being physically active for at least 60 minutes per day on five (5) or more days during the seven (7) days prior to the survey; higher than the state and national average. There were no statistical differences between the treatment and control groups when analyzing the outcome variable. Conclusions:  Schools can play a significant role in positively influencing physical activity levels of children and adolescents. The use of the theory-based goal-setting curriculum supplement and self-report measures proved to be an affordable and easy to implement method to promote physical activity despite the lack of significant differences. Additional research focusing on increasing the sample size and reducing attrition rates is warranted.

description: Gaps in medical care were identified in 2010 among HIV-infected persons in the United States. Linkage to medical care occurred for 77%, of whom 51% were were retained in medical care. Of those recieving anti-retroviral medications, 77% had a suppressed viral load (SVL). New Jersey requires baseline evaluation of these measures to identify gaps that may exist in linking and retaining HIV-infected persons in medical care and viral load measures among population groups. We obtained data from the New Jersey Enhanced HIV/AIDS Reporting System (eHARS) that included 7289 newly diagnosed persons from 2007-2011 and 36,763 living HIV-infectedpersons; diagnosed at aged greater than or equal to 13 years and by 12/31/2009. Routine measures reported by medical providers and laboratories included positive test results, CD4+ counts and HIV viral loads in addition to demographic variables. Time to linkage to medical care was evaluated by survival analysis. The relative risks (RR) and adjusted RR (ARR) were calculated for retention in care and SVL by exponentiating the coefficients from a generalized linear model with a log link and binomial outcome distribution. The mean monitored viral load (MMVL) was calculated using methods recommended by the Centers for Disease COntrol and Prevention. In 2007-2011, 71.6% of newly diagnosed persons were linked to medical care in less than or equal to 90 days. Among HIV-infected persons tested in non-clinical sites, a higher percentage tested by rapid were linked to medical care (62.3%vs. 54.0%) and in a shorter time (32 vs. 60 days), compared to EIA-WB. Among HIV-infected persons diagnosed by 2009, 47.6% were engaged in medical care during 2010-2011. The 2010 MMVL was 316 copies/ml and was higher among HIV-infected persons in the following high prevalence cities: Irvington, Newark, East Orange, Elizabeth, Atlantic City, and Camden. Overall, the SVL was 57.7% and slightly higher in Jersey City, a high prevalence city (60.4%).  The findings in this evaluation provide baseline measures for linkage to retention in medical care and viral suppression. Continued support in prevention and healthcare efforts in New Jersey is needed so that improvements towards the National HIV/AIDS strategy goals may be achieved.

Distribution. China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Xinjiang), Japan, Korea, Russia.
Diagnosis. This species is similar to Y. varidentella sp. nov. and Y. falcella (Denis et Schiffermüller) externally, but differs from Y. varidentella sp. nov. in the forewing having a small black dot below middle of the fold (Fig. 45), which is absent in the latter species; differs from Y. falcella by the absence of the short white line at end of the cell, which is present in the latter species. Ypsolopha yasudai is related to Y. nigrofasciata Yang in the male genitalia, but can be separated by the subulate uncus (Fig. 145), which is triangular in the latter species (Fig. 137). Ypsolopha yasudai is similar to Y. nemorella (Linnaeus) in the female genitalia, but can be separated by the relatively long signum that is about 1/2 length of the corpus bursae (Fig. 189), which is 1/3 length of the corpus bursae in the latter species (Fig. 195).
Remarks. This species is somewhat variable in appearance, viz., the ground colour varying from yellow to pale grayish brown, the area between the fold and the dorsum varying from yellowish white to grayish brown. In spite of these differences, the black dot below middle of the fold, the wing venation, and the genital characters are stable.

description: Violence in hip-hop music has been associated with violent attitudes and behaviors among youth. Research has shown that hip-hop music provides ample opportunities for mediated modeling through its lyrics and videos. However, a largely overlooked medium may also offer opportunities for modeling. Hip-hop [entertainment] journalism reports on hip-hop and celebrity-related news including violence in personal and professional lives. Identifying the prevalence, types, and portrayals of violence in hip-hop journalism could offer insight regarding violent messages reaching young audiences. This study is the first to explore violent content on hip-hop websites and radio programming.      A content analysis was conducted on 1,267 randomly selected news and interview articles from three self-identified hip-hop websites, and 56 radio interviews randomly selected from four self-identified hip-hop radio stations that were published or aired between 2009 and 2010. All units were coded for the presence of violence, violent categories, and reality status, narrative sequence, and tone.     Among all articles, 52.3% (n=663) had at least one violent reference in either text or pictures. Rates of violence were higher for interview articles (73.4%, n=218) than news articles (45.9%, n=445). Among all articles, the most common types of violence were violent metaphors, weapons, feuding (i.e., verbal aggression), and fighting. A total of 916 unique violent accounts (references) were recorded for news articles, and 860 were recorded for interview articles. The majority of news (50.5%, n=463) and interview (39.4%, n=339) references occurred in real life. The majority of news (46.2%, n=423) and interview (61.5%, n=395) references used performer sequences. The majority of news references were presented in a negative tone (discouraging violence) (31.8%, n=565) while the majority of interview references were presented positively (encouraging violence) (38.7%, n=333). Regarding radio interviews, 66.1% (n=37) contained violence. A total of 115 violent references were recorded. The majority (47.6%, n=57) of violent references occurred in real life. The majority (45.2%, n=52) of references were presented from the performer sequence. The majority of radio references (40%, n=46) were positively portrayed.     Future research should explore the extent to which the audience receives violent messages communicated in hip-hop journalism, and how they interpret such messages.

description: This study examines characteristics of students and university environments as factors leading to cultivation of abundant social capital.   Twenty-two student stories illustrate how varying identities as low-income and first-generation play key roles in cultivating social capital while at a university.  It is hypothesized that in order to facilitate successful student engagement, a “two-way street” needs to be established in which both the student and the university seek to intentionally develop connections.  Universities need to offer ample resources and support that is compassionate and understanding, while at the same time considering attributes students bring to the relationship and how those attributes will affect them accessing support.  This requires an intimate understanding of the characteristics, attitudes and tendencies that seem to be most associated with success of low-income first-generation (LIFG) college students.    Students’ experiences are interpreted through the lens of student engagement (Kuh, et al, 2010; Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005), resiliency (Morales, 2008; Masten, 2001) and Bourdieu’s (1987, 1984, 1977) social reproduction. This study expands on literature that demonstrates engagement in educationally purposeful experiences aids in a student’s academic success; by focusing on the role and characteristics of those relationships as well as how those relationships are established particularly by LIFG college students. This study was guided by the following questions:  (1) What is the role of campus connections in a LIFG student’s academic success?  (2) How are campus connections established for LIFG students? (3) What are characteristics of connections that LIFG students establish at a university?,  (4)  What are the characteristics of LIFG students who are making the most of their connections at university?  Findings suggest there must be a “two-way street” when it comes to the role of student participation in fostering academic success of LIFG students.  Students must take initiative to seek out purposeful connections, which are impacted by their own passion, independence, and resiliency while the university needs to provide access to ample opportunities which are caring and understanding of LIFG college students’ needs.   This paper contributes to the conversation about how universities must respond to the needs of increasingly diverse student populations which include LIFG students.

The design of a training program for paraprofessionals working with students with autism in an urban school district
Creators: name: Watkins, Amy M.

description: The number of paraprofessionals supporting the education of students with disabilities has increased significantly in recent years; concurrently, there has been an expansion of the paraprofessional’s role in the instruction of students, particularly for students with low incidence disabilities such as autism.  There has also been an increase in the number of students on the autism spectrum who are being educated in their local school districts.  Students with autism have very challenging support needs and are most likely to require paraprofessional support so they may be properly educated.  The increasing reliance on paraprofessionals in public education raises concerns regarding their training and preparation to perform the multitude of tasks that they might be assigned.  Models of best practices for educating students with autism recommend training paraprofessionals to fulfill specific responsibilities they encounter as part of their roles working with these students.  The purpose of this dissertation was to design a training program for paraprofessionals working with students with autism in an urban school district in New Jersey.  A needs assessment was conducted through interviews and surveys in the district and the training program was developed based on those results.  Data collected indicated that the program should be targeted to recently hired paraprofessionals new to the assignment of working with students on the autism spectrum.   This cohort of paraprofessionals would benefit from training to enhance their knowledge and skills in working with students with autism.  The program consisted of five training sessions that addressed the following topics: Overview of Autism and the Autism Program, Basic Behavioral Concepts and Assessment, Behavioral Procedures, Teaching Procedures and Data Recording.   In addition, a performance feedback component was included in order to reinforce the paraprofessionals’ knowledge and skill acquisition from the trainings.  Detailed lesson plans were provided for each of the training goals.  The limitations of the needs assessment and program design were discussed, in addition to recommendations and implications.

An ontological/phenomenological model of leadership
Creators: name: Baker, Uchenna
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: Colleges and universities are being challenged to prepare students to become empowered leaders who know themselves as engaged, active participants in the creation of a future for society. Unfortunately some students are graduating from of our higher education institutions without having acquired the critical skills needed to navigate life with power. Some students are not getting sufficient opportunities for critical thinking, self-agency, and social action in the classroom. Without engaged and empowered learners, the future of education and society is at risk.   This research inquires into the ontological/phenomenological course “Being a Leader and The Effective Exercise of Leadership: An Ontological/Phenomenological Model",  how it might inform the transformational possibilities of individuals who engage in it, and how those individuals are creating futures for themselves and others that would not otherwise happen. This research positions this leadership course as an example of a pedagogical approach that might ignite transformational outcomes and reform American higher education. Employing autoethnography, participatory action research, and interviews, this study explores how the course contributes to the personal transformation, social action and institutional reform that the participants, including myself, pursue. It illuminates the transformational possibilities of this course from three perspectives: from my lived experience as both participant and observer, through a group of diverse women leaders (Women Leading Group), and through members of a learning community of college and university faculty (LECOLE: Learning Community for Ontological/Phenomenological Leadership).     This study documents the possibilities that emerge when participants engage in an ontological leadership course that invites them to create futures that call for their leadership. This study postulates that the implementation of an ontological model in the classroom can be one key contribution to the development of students and educators and the reformation of American education. When educators and students are invited to examine who we are being as leaders in the classroom and the world, we are then better equipped to engage as citizens and agents of change.   Collectively, we can renovate education and empower individuals from all walks of life who may then inform and create the future of American education and society.
