description: The aim of this study was to prepare physically stable nanoemulsions containing three different essential oils (Rosemary, Cuminum, and Zataria Multiflora Boiss) by using two different nanoemulsification methods. Then microbial growth rate, antioxidant, and oxidant content of fresh fish fillet were assessed at 4°C and 10°C temperatures. Essential oils (EOs) were purified from Rosmarinus officinalis L., Zataria multiflora Boiss, and Cuminum cyminum L. and emulsified by two different methods: Ultrasonic Homogenization (USH) and Emulsion Phase Inversion (EPI). Samples of Acipenser stellatus (weight of 10 ± 1 g) were immersed in Nanoemulsified essential oils. Then antibacterial and antioxidant potential of these essential oils was analyzed by culturing in a tube and measuring PV and TBA, respectively, during 1, 3, 7, and 14 days after treatment. Cuminum cyminum L., at 4°C in the USH method reduced the growth of bacteria in the fish sample on all studied bacteria at 5% concentration compared to 3%. Also the results of Cuminum cyminum L. EO made by both methods used to emulsify the oil were better than the other two extracts. As well these results were observed for PV and TBA contents. This study showed that nanoemulsified Cuminum cyminum L. prepared by the USH method has good antioxidant potential and antibacterial effect among other essential oils and it can be used to produce novel natural antioxidants as well as flavoring agents that can be applied in different food products.

Year: 2022

Background: A woman is at risk of dying from postpartum hemorrhage every four minutes. Maternal hemorrhage is found to be the direct cause of maternal mortality, overall accounting for 27% to 75% of maternal deaths worldwide. In the United States, 54% to 93% of maternal mortality could have been prevented. Postpartum hemorrhage remains among the top causes of pregnancy-related deaths worldwide. The purpose of this project is to educate providers of obstetrical care regarding best practices for effective communication during a postpartum hemorrhage by implementing a debriefing educational tool during postpartum hemorrhage mock code drills. Methods: The postpartum hemorrhage team review and debriefing form were implemented during mock postpartum hemorrhage code drills to improve debriefing after critical events. Five educational sessions which lasted ten minutes each along with a pre-survey for recruitment were offered prior to mock postpartum hemorrhage code drills about debriefing. The communication was evaluated after the mock postpartum hemorrhage code drills using the Clinical Teamwork Scale (CTS). Results: Twenty-five nurses participated in the pre-brief survey (n = 25). There were 3 groups of nurses for the 3 mock postpartum hemorrhage code drills, which included 11 nurses (n = 11).  The groups rated their performance/teamwork using the itemized tasks after the mock code trainings. Conclusion: Structured debriefing was shown to improve skills and increase knowledge concerning interventions in an emergency. Improved knowledge and confidence with debriefing can lead to improved performance during an actual postpartum hemorrhage. Communication and collaboration during an emergency were shown to improve patient outcomes.

description: Human mobility has a significant impact on several layers of society, from infrastructural planning and economics to the spread of diseases and crime. Representing the system as a complex network, in which nodes are assigned to regions (e.g., a city) and links indicate the flow of people between two of them, physics-inspired models have been proposed to quantify the number of people migrating from one city to the other. Despite the advances made by these models, our ability to predict the number of commuters and reconstruct mobility networks remains limited. Here, we propose an alternative approach using machine learning and 22 urban indicators to predict the flow of people and reconstruct the intercity commuters network. Our results reveal that predictions based on machine learning algorithms and urban indicators can reconstruct the commuters network with 90.4% of accuracy and describe 77.6% of the variance observed in the flow of people between cities. We also identify essential features to recover the network structure and the urban indicators mostly related to commuting patterns. As previously reported, distance plays a significant role in commuting, but other indicators, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and unemployment rate, are also driven-forces for people to commute. We believe that our results shed new lights on the modeling of migration and reinforce the role of urban indicators on commuting patterns. Also, because link-prediction and network reconstruction are still open challenges in network science, our results have implications in other areas, like economics, social sciences, and biology, where node attributes can give us information about the existence of links connecting entities in the network.

description: Fluctuations of the amplitude of the order parameter govern the properties of superconducting systems close to the critical transition temperature. In the BCS regime we examine the contribution of these pairing fluctuations to the superfluid order parameter for harmonically confined atomic Fermi gases. In the limit of small systems we obtain an expression for the space dependence of the fluctuations, in good agreement with the results of numerical calculations. In this limit we also predict a parity effect, i.e. that pairing fluctuations should show a maximum or a minimum at the centre of the trap, depending on the value of the last occupied shell being even or odd. We finally propose to detect pairing fluctuations by measuring the density-density correlation function as evaluated after a ballistic expansion of the gas.

description: Algorithmen werden als zentrale Akteure der digitalen Transformation gehandelt. Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) wird als Lösung für dringende aktuelle und zukünftige Probleme in der Medizin gerahmt. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, wie – oft unbewusst – faktisch diskriminierende Werte sozialer Ordnung in Algorithmen eingeschrieben werden und der weithin beklagte Gender Bias sowie rassistische Diskriminierung fortgeschrieben oder sogar verstärkt wird. Es wird erörtert, wie eine mit KI verbundene Automatisierung von Diskriminierung Ansprüche an ein gleichberechtigtes Zusammenleben vielfältiger und widersprüchlicher menschlicher Existenz erneut breit diskutierbar macht. Im Beitrag werden diese Fragen anhand des Einsatzes von KI bei der Hautkrebs- und der Brustkrebsdiagnose erörtert. Diese werden mit theoretischen und methodischen Zugängen aus der Genderforschung, die sozialen Konstruktivismus, Poststrukturalismus und New Materialism mit Ansätzen der Intersektionalitätsforschung und der Queer Theory verbinden, konfrontiert.

description: In the present study, the nutritional and phenolic composition as well as the antioxidant activity of sweet potato leaves (SPL) harvested in 3 different periods were determined and compared. Furthermore, gray relational analysis was used to compare the comprehensive nutritional value. Results showed SPL HP1 had the highest protein value (30.8 ± 0.4 g/100 g dw), while SPL HP3 had the highest content of vitamin C (104.6 ± 4.9 mg/100 g dw), vitamin E (5.8 ± 0.4 mg/100 g dw), total polyphenol content (9.1 ± 0.3 g/100 g dw), antioxidant activity (DPPH: 7.4 ± 0.1 g VcE/100 g dw; ABTS: 10.6 ± 0.7 g VcE/100 g dw; FRAP: 0.617 ± 0.005 µmol TroloxE/100 g dw), and comprehensive nutritional value (weighted gray relational grade 0.8336). The individual phenolic composition showed the presence of six caffeoylquinic acids, caffeic acid, and two flavonoids (quercetin and isoquercetin), which were significantly different among different harvest periods. In conclusion, HP3 was an optimal period for harvesting SPL.

description: We consider the effective two-Higgs-doublet potential with complex parameters, when the CP invariance is broken both explicitly and spontaneously. Diagonal mass term in the local minimum of the potential is constructed for the physical basis of Higgs fields, keeping explicitly the limiting case of CP-conservation if the parameters are taken real. For special case of the two-doublet Higgs sector of the minimal supersymmetric model, when CP invariance is violated by the Higgs bosons interaction with scalar quarks of the third generation, we calculate by means of the effective pothential method the Higgs boson masses and evaluate the two-fermion Higgs boson decay widths and the widths of rare one-loop mediated decays H -> γγ, H -> gg.

description: Lateinamerika mit sehr diversen Entwicklungsständen ist einerseits als Kontinent heterogener Länderhistorien zu betrachten, zugleich aber auch Sammelbecken dezentralisierter Bildungssysteme, aus denen stark differenzierende Karrierewege resultieren. In kaum einem gesellschaftlichen Bereich haben soziale Disparitäten einen solch starken Einfluss auf die Mobilität wie in der Bildung, sie sollen exemplarisch anhand von Brasilien und Kolumbien mithilfe von Lebensverlaufsanalysen gezeigt werden. Wenn Ungleichheiten, die auf Herkunft und Milieu zurückgehen, nicht durch institutionelle Bildung kompensiert, sondern, wie anhand der Darlegung der Bildungssysteme Kolumbiens und Brasiliens, verschärft bzw. konzediert werden, ist der individuelle Bildungsaufstieg herausfordernd und gelingt nur wenigen. Vielmehr manifestiert sich in diesen Ländern eine Reproduktion sozialer Disparitäten, bedingt durch die institutionelle Diskriminierung, die Aufstiegsprozesse und Habitustransformationen kaum begünstigen.

description: In Thailand, water is life. Recently however, water has been more associated with conflict and problems, both natural and manmade, from drought to floods to dams to pollution. This paper investigates two major problems related to the management of water resources, dry-season allocation and water quality. In Thailand, water allocation has been considered an administrative problem and solutions have largely been supply- oriented. Economic instruments have not been used to solve them. In dealing with water quality as well, economic instruments have Largely been neglected. This paper outlines some of the major problems of water use in Thailand, including conflicts over the quantity and quality of water. It provides some examples of both the political and economic consequences of government policy, specifically the "open access" regime which ignores the true costs and benefits of various types of water use. The paper then goes on to discuss economic instruments for the management of water resources, especially water pricing and pollution charges. Finally, the paper presents conclusions to be drawn from the various studies of water resources in Thailand.
Acute Care Nursing Education to Enhance Aggression Management Skills
Creators: name: hayes, marybeth
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

Abstract
Background: Workplace Violence (WPV) in healthcare settings is pervasive. Acute care nursing staff experience higher rates of aggression from patients. These experiences may cause physical and psychological injury to caregivers and stress healthcare systems.
Purpose: The purpose of this quality improvement (QI) project was to strengthen understanding of evidence-based principles for management of aggressive patients on acute care medical units. Education enhances nursing staff sense of self-efficacy and clinical reasoning skills and is associated with effective management of aggression. Ultimately, improved management of aggression may lead to lower rates of patient assault towards staff members.
Methods: A pre and post intervention survey was used to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention on evidence-based approaches to manage and prevent workplace violence.
Results: Twelve Registered Nurses and Patient Care Technicians participated in the QI project. An increased understanding of the principles of aggression management was reported by a significant majority of participants, along with an increased sense of self-assurance.
Conclusion: Prevention and management of workplace violence education was found to effectively improve knowledge and confidence among acute care nursing staff.
Use of Public Health Detailing to Improve Provider Practice in the Clinical Management of Syphilis

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

Background: Throughout history, syphilis has been a challenge to manage and control until the invention of penicillin in 1943 was available. Even with effective treatment, the diagnosis and clinical management of syphilis remains a challenge for providers. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to increase provider knowledge of evidence-based practice in the clinical management of syphilis, using public health detailing, to decrease inadequate and delayed identification and treatment of syphilis. Methods: Providers from a federally qualified health center (FQHC) participated in one public health detailing visit during March of 2021. Each provider completed a Provider Practice Assessment, which looked at their knowledge, practice, and attitudes in the clinical management of syphilis. Creation of an evidence-based Syphilis Pocket Guide was utilized to promote knowledge translation. Quantitative data was entered into Microsoft Excel and analyzed using descriptive statistics, such as frequency and percentages. Results: A total of five providers participated in the public health detailing visit and completed the Provider Practice Assessment. The results are consistent with the claim that providers encounter challenges when managing patients with syphilis, with over 40% of providers self-rating their knowledge of syphilis staging as either fair or poor.  Conclusion: Positive reception and feedback of the public health detailing visits suggests they are successful strategies to providing useful evidence-based practice education. Future recommendations include a more robust, edited Provider Practice Assessment, a larger provider participant population, and ongoing evaluation.

description: Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is an efficient additive that is used during winemaking to prevent microbial contamination as well as the oxidation and color changes caused by enzymatic and nonenzymatic reactions. However, this compound can cause allergic reactions to humans. In this study, α-pinene, a monomeric compound derived from fruits, was used to be an alternative for sulfur dioxide in red wine fermentation. Three concentrations of α-pinene, 0.125%, 0.25%, or 0.5%, were used. The red wine without additive or SO2 was used as controls. No significant differences were found in total soluble solids, pH values, titratable acidity, and ethanol content (n = 3, p < .05) though lower ethanol content was observed in the group at 0.5% α-pinene. The antibacterial results were the same between adding α-pinene and SO2. In the α-pinene group, significantly higher L and a values as well as transmittance were obtained than in the control and SO2 groups. Higher free radical scavenging ability was also obtained in the groups of α-pinene. However, the group with the highest concentration, 0.5%, showed negative effects to ethanol production and sensory performance. Better physicochemical and sensory characteristics were obtained in the groups at 0.125% or 0.25% of α-pinene, particularly, when 0.125% of α-pinene was added. Thus, α-pinene at 0.125% should be the optimal concentration for a potential alternative for SO2 in winemaking.

description: X-ray observations of extragalactic radiosources show strong evidences of interaction between the radio emitting plasma and the X-ray emitting ambient gas. In this paper we perform a detailed study of this interaction by numerical simulations. We study the propagation of an axisymmetric supersonic jet in an isothermal King atmosphere and we analyze the evolution of the resulting X-ray properties and their dependence on the jet physical parameters. We show the existence of two distinct and observationally different regimes of interaction, with strong and weak shocks. In the first case shells of enhanced X-ray emission are to be expected, while in the second case we expect deficit of X-ray emission coincident with the cocoon. By a comparison between analytical models and the results of our numerical simulations, we discuss the dependence of the transition between these two regimes on the jet parameters and we find that the mean controlling quantity results to be the jet kinetic power. We then discuss how the observed jets can be used to constrain the jet properties.

Promoting Exclusive Breastfeeding Among Racing/Ethnic Minority Women for the First Six Months
Creators: name: Boateng, Linda A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

Abstract
Background: Breastfeeding is the recommended way of feeding infants due to the numerous health benefits. However, racial/ethnic minority women in the United States are less likely to initiate and maintain breastfeeding for the recommended six months compared to white women. This has resulted in higher health issues such as obesity, diabetes type I, allergic sensitivity, acute otitis media, and gastrointestinal problems among racial /ethnic minority children. Purpose: The purpose of this Quality Improvement Project was to promote exclusive breastfeeding among racial/ethnic minority postpartum mothers for the first six months. This was done by providing breastfeeding education to postpartum nurses who then included the acquired knowledge in postpartum patients’ education. Goal: The goal of this quality improvement project was to increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding among racial/ethnic minority women by increasing nursing education. Method: A breastfeeding educational intervention was implemented to increase breastfeeding knowledge among maternity nurses. A website was created and breastfeeding interventions such as signs of poor/good infant feeding, risks of not breastfeeding, risks of formula feeding, infant hunger cues, appropriate infant position for breastfeeding, and information on available breastfeeding resources were loaded to the website for ease of access. The maternity nurses were given the url of the website to review the educational materials on the site at their convenience for one month. Results/Conclusion: 70% of the nurses self-reported that they have visited the website and reviewed the educational materials and incorporated the acquired knowledge into their patients’ education. Intention to exclusive breastfeeding did not increase post-education but the intention to breastfeed in general increased.

Die Datengrundlage bildet die Beschäftigtenhistorik des Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung, die Angaben zu allen sozialversicherungspflichtig Beschäftigten in Deutschland enthält. Vollzeitbeschäftigte Frauen mit Kindern verdienen weniger als Frauen ohne Kinder, wobei dieser Lohnunterschied in Westdeutschland deutlich größer ausfällt als in Ostdeutschland. Mittels einer Oaxaca-Blinder-Zerlegung weisen wir wichtige Einflussfaktoren aus und können einen bereinigten Lohnunterschied ermitteln. Dabei deuten die Ergebnisse der Zerlegungen darauf hin, dass historische Unterschiede bezüglich der gesellschaftlichen Leitbilder zur Mutterrolle in Ost- und Westdeutschland weiterhin bestehen. Die Abkehr vom traditionellen Bild der Mutterrolle ist somit nach wie vor relevant für den Abbau des Lohnnachteils für Mütter.
Standardizing Behavioral Health Triage: Using the HEADS-ED Tool
Creators: name: Peifer, Sarah K
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2022

Background: In the past two years emergency departments across the country have experienced an increase in pediatric patients requiring behavioral health care. It is essential to provide efficient, early intervention to these vulnerable patients. The use of a standardized tool can improve management of pediatric patients and allow access to resources in a timely manner. 
Purpose: To evaluate the implementation of the HEADS-ED in a community hospital ED, to provide rapid behavioral health assessment. 
Methods: Education for staff was provided through various platforms and involved regular support for staff throughout the intervention. It was hypothesized that implementation of this tool would improve efficiency and ability to manage behavioral health patient needs and decrease the behavioral health length of stay. 
Results: While the length of stay decrease did not meet the project goal of 25%, there was a 15% decrease in the median length of stay. The screen was completed on 77 patients, 20.31% of all behavioral health patients and 1.97% of all pediatric ED patients, from age four to twenty. Of the patients screened, 61 patients or 79.2% screened were provided with a recommended resource. There was positive response from staff and there were found to be multiple statistically significant relationships between multiple different variables assessed with the HEADS-ED tool, highlighting areas for future study.
Conclusion: This project outlines the steps required to implement a standardized tool for ED behavioral health triage, which staff reported as a positive intervention to provide rapid assessment and disposition planning.

description: Recently a multifractal object, $Q_{mf}$, was proposed to study percolation properties in a multifractal support. The area and the number of neighbors of the blocks of $Q_{mf}$ show a non-trivial behavior. The value of the probability of occupation at the percolation threshold, $p_{c}$, is a function of $ρ$, a parameter of $Q_{mf}$ which is related to its anisotropy. We investigate the relation between $p_{c}$ and the average number of neighbors of the blocks as well as the anisotropy of $Q_{mf}$.

description: Curcuma mangga is a medicinal plant, and its rhizomes are often used to treat various conditions, such as fever, thorax pain, itching, stomachaches, skin diseases, gout, and asthma. Although C. mangga is commonly used, information on the relationship between its chemical constituents and the bioactivities of the rhizomes is still limited. The extraction solvents used have a strong effect on the metabolite profile and the bioactivity of the extract. A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics approach was used to differentiate the metabolite profiles of hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol fractions of C. mangga rhizomes and to correlate the metabolites with α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Primary and secondary metabolites were identified, including curcuminoids, carbohydrates, terpenoids, and amino acids. The ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) analysis of the most active fraction (ethyl acetate) revealed the identification of additional metabolites, such as zerumin A, epigallocatechin, p-hydroxycinnamic, and copallic acids. A partial least square (PLS) biplot demonstrated that the existence of curcumin, demethoxycurcumin, curcumanggoside, calcaratarin A, labda-8(17),12-diene-15,16-dial, zerumin B, and difurocumenonol in the ethyl acetate fraction could be responsible for the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.

description: There are two strong clues about the quantum structure of spacetime and the gravitational dynamics, which are almost universally ignored in the conventional approaches to quantize gravity. The first clue is that null surfaces exhibit (observer dependent) thermal properties and possess a heat density. This suggests that spacetime, like matter, has microscopic degrees of freedom and its long wavelength limit should be described in thermodynamic language and not in a geometric language. Second clue is related to the existence of the cosmological constant. Its understanding from first principles will require the dynamical principles of the theory to be invariant under the shift $T^a_b \to T^a_b + (constant) δ^a_b$. This puts strong constraints on the nature of gravitational dynamics and excludes metric tensor as a fundamental dynamical variable. In fact, these two clues are closely related to each other. When the dynamical principles are recast, respecting the symmetry $T^a_b \to T^a_b + (constant) δ^a_b$, they automatically acquire a thermodynamic interpretation related to the first clue. The first part of this review provides a pedagogical introduction to thermal properties of the horizons, including some novel derivations. The second part describes some aspects of cosmological constant problem and the last part provides a perspective on gravity which takes into account these principles.

description: We present lattice results on the scalar $D_s$ meson and comment on the $D_{sJ}^+(2317)$ state recently discovered by BaBar and confirmed by CLEO, in view of a series of theoretical claims and counter claims. Lattice predictions in the static limit indicate larger masses than observed for a scalar quark model state. Finite $c$ quark mass corrections seem to further enlarge this discrepancy, in support of a non quark-antiquark-state interpretation of experiment.

description: This article presents a systematic literature review addressing the challenges encountered by Southeast Asian countries in the management of natural disasters. The review identifies significant issues, including deficiencies in disaster preparedness plans, early warning systems, response mechanisms, and investments in disaster management infrastructure. It underscores the significance of integrating disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation into policies and operational strategies. The review also delves into the vulnerability of specific demographic groups during disasters, the role of technology, social capital, and education in enhancing disaster preparedness, and the complexities involved in post-disaster recovery efforts. This article used the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Studies were collected from the Scopus database. This article adhered to eligibility criteria, established methodology, and the PRISMA 2020 standard checklist. The findings underscore the necessity for the development of comprehensive decision support frameworks, enhanced risk perception and education, strategic positioning of emergency aid supplies, and integrated infrastructure. The article concludes by offering insights into the implications of these findings and presents guidelines for future disaster mitigation and management endeavors.

description: The relationship between the effects of food aid and those of the completion of the Uruguay Round of the GATT are studied in this paper. focussing upon the food aid recipient countries, and taking Bangladesh as an illustrative example. It is argued that, among other factors. the magnitudes of these effects depend crucially on the policy environment within the food aid recipient. country itself, particularly the government's policy with respect to commercial food imports. It is shown that when the quantity of Bangladesh's commercial food imports is controlled by the government, the benefits derived from food aid are smaller than when these imports are tariffied - subject to fixed tariff rates. Likewise, the negative effects that the Uruguay Round may be expected to have on Bangladesh will also be larger if commercial food imports are subject to quantitative controls than if they are tariffied. The effects that the Uruguay Round will have on Bangladesh will depend significantly on the way food aid donors respond to the Round. If donors reduce the volumes of food aid in response to increased international food prices resulting from the Round, the losses incurred by Bangladesh will be magnified. But these effects will also depend heavily on whether Bangladesh itself participates in the liberalisations that are central to the Round itself. If it were to participate fully, the negative effects that the Uruguay Round would otherwise have on Bangladesh may be entirely offset by the gains Bangladesh would derive from its own liberalisation.
Transition Readiness Tools to Improve Health Care Transitions among Adolescents with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Inflammatory bowel disease is associated with severe disease in pediatric patients often requires treatment through adulthood. Collaborative efforts of patients, families, and health providers are needed to foster a smooth transition of care from pediatric to adult health care.
The purpose of this quality improvement project was to establish a baseline understanding of transition readiness among adolescents at one gastroenterology clinic to improve transition to adult care. A cross-sectional design was used to assess adolescents’ readiness for transition of care over a three-month period. Transitioning Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ) was administered followed by individualized education on topics covered in the questionnaire. A post-survey was used to assess the changes in health beliefs following education. Thematic analysis, mean, and standard deviation were used to analyze the data. Twenty-seven adolescents ages 12 to18 participated in the project. Adolescents 17-18 years old had higher means within each of the five sections of the TRAQ compared to adolescents 14-16 years old and 12–13-year-olds. Adolescents reported that the changes in health beliefs after receiving the education motivated them to acquire new self-management skills and be more engaged in their health care. Noticeable variability in readiness to transition to adult care was evident between the three age groups. Successful transitions in health care are key to health and wellness among individuals with chronic conditions. This project was intended to improve long-term patient outcomes by facilitating behavioral change.

description: We present a technique to control chaos in Hamiltonian systems which are close to integrable. By adding a small and simple control term to the perturbation, the system becomes more regular than the original one. We apply this technique to a model that reproduces turbulent ExB drift and show numerically that the control is able to drastically reduce chaotic transport.

description: This study investigates the rate of returns to private investment in education in urban China, focusing on gender differences. It shows that in general females have higher rates of returns to schooling than males after taking account of sample selection bias and the endogeneity of schooling, despite the fact that females usually have less schooling and lower income. However, the advances of females become less prominent after controlling for occupational choices. Furthermore, the sub samples of rural-to-urban migrant workers and urban-resident workers display different patterns: for urban residents, females have slightly higher rates of returns to schooling, while migrant workers show an opposite hierarchy of gender differences in returns to schooling, in the sense that males have higher returns to schooling than females.

Background: Insomnia contributes to the deterioration of health, diminishes the quality of life, and increases the risk of injury.  Despite being a common sleep disorder among adults, it is not frequently recognized due to the lack of sleep screening consensus.  Purpose: The aim of this project was to implement an evidence-based assessment tool, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), at a primary care providers’ office to standardize sleep screenings.  Methods: The quality improvement project was guided by Lewin’s Theory of Change.  This screening project provided a background, purpose, and utilization of the ISI screening tool to a medical team consisting of one physician, two nurse practitioners, three nurses, and three medical assistants.  The ISI screening tool was then implemented on patients, ages 18 to 65, in October 2021, during their annual physical exams.  Results: A substantial increase was found in the number of patients who were screened for insomnia when compared with the data from prior years; In 2021, 36/96 (37.50%) patients were screened for insomnia and 3/36 (8.33%) of the screenings were invalidated due to patients not answering ≥2 more questions of the ISI screening tool.  A total of 33/96 (34.37%) of the adult visits were included in this project.  Whilen 2020, 10/65 (15.38%), and in 2019, 7/81 (8.64%).  Conversely, there was a decrease in the number of patients who, although scoring 15 or above on the ISI (positive diagnosis of insomnia), received medical treatment; in 2021, 2/33 (6.01%), in 2020, 6/65 (9.23%), and in 2019, 7/81 (8.64%). Conclusions: Comparing 2021, 36/96 (37.50%), and 2019, 7/81 (8.64%), there was an increased rate of 333.9% of sleep screening rates and in 2020, 10/65 (15.38%), there was an increased rate of 143.82% of sleep screening rates; suggesting sleep screenings can be implemented in primary care settings for the treatment of insomnia.
