Time lost: Factors influencing advanced practice provider’s prioritization of sleep

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

BACKGROUND: Prescribing patient care providers regularly experience insufficient sleep, putting them at increased risk of committing occupational injuries, accidents, and errors and developing chronic health conditions. OBJECTIVE: Identify antecedents to short sleep (≤6-hours sleep in 24-hour period) in the understudied population of hospital-based Advanced Practice Providers (APPs). METHODS: Using an ethnographic research design, data included APP and key stakeholder interviews, hospital observations, and relevant documents. Interview data were analyzed using modified constant comparative method. RESULTS: Nine APPs were interviewed, revealing four themes: Social/Family Obligations and Value of Connectivity, Community Value of Sleep, Organizational Value of Sleep, and Individual Biology and How the Body Values Sleep. APP decisions to prioritize sleep are based on an interplay of societal, professional, organizational, and personal values. Triangulated data verified results, except regarding how APP sleep deficit can lead to mood disturbances and the lack sleep consideration in patient care error reporting. CONCLUSIONS: Findings demonstrate the importance of consistency in messaging, action, and policy when promoting occupational sleep health among healthcare workers. Implications include instituting worker sleep education, leadership modeling healthy sleep habits, and inclusion of sleep in root cause analyses. Additional consideration includes evaluating the influence of nursing culture on nurse practitioners’ sleep habits.

Efficient System Combination for Syllable-Confusion-Network-Based Chinese Spoken Term Detection

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This paper examines the system combination issue for syllable-confusion-network (SCN)-based Chinese spoken term detection (STD). System combination for STD usually leads to improvements in accuracy but suffers from increased index size or complicated index structure. This paper explores methods for efficient combination of a word-based system and a syllable-based system while keeping the compactness of the indices. First, a composite SCN is generated using two approaches: lattice combination (The SCN is generated from a combined lattice) and confusion network combination (Two SCNs are combined into one). Then a simple compact index is constructed from this composite SCN by merging cross-system redundant information. The experimental result on a 60-hour corpus shows a relative accuracy improvement of 14.7% is achieved over the baseline syllable-based system. Meanwhile, it reduces the index size by 22.3% compared to the commonly adopted score combination method when achieves comparable accuracy.
VLCAD deficiency in a patient who recovered from ventricular fibrillation, but died suddenly of a respiratory syncytial virus infection

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract VLCAD deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a defect of fatty acid oxidation. The phenotype is classified into three clinical forms on the basis of the onset of symptoms: a severe form with neonatal onset; a milder form with childhood onset; and a late‐onset form. The neonatal form is the most common, and has a higher mortality rate than the others. We report the case of a newborn infant with VLCAD deficiency who developed ventricular fibrillation, which was successfully treated by intensive care, but who suddenly died after a respiratory syncytial virus infection. Early institution of i.v. glucose treatment and active immunization with vaccine, such as palivizumab (anti‐RSV mAb), may be important to reduce the frequency and severity of life‐threatening episodes.
Bare enterprise: US television and the business of dispossession (post-crisis, gender and property television)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This essay examines the quotidian forms of dispossession and bare enterprise that emerge when homes and belongings are repossessed and auctioned off for profit while TV cameras roll. Focusing on a spate of recent US reality programs revolving around pawnshops, repossession agents, storage unit auctions and foreclosed home flipping businesses, I chronicle an unabashedly ruthless performance of homo economicus. I link the biopolitics of disposability evidenced across these programs to an emerging stage of neoliberal governmentality that has little interest in transforming ‘failed’ citizens and, therefore, differs from the charitable interventions and makeover regimens circulated by US television. Finally, I consider some tensions and points of resistance that television’s cruel new turn may register.
Bridging the Gap: Developing a Tool to Support Local Civilian and Military Disaster Preparedness.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

U.S. policymakers have stepped up systematic disaster preparedness efforts sharply since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, including the creation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and a plethora of federal initiatives. Against a backdrop of natural disasters that occur each year in the United States and heightened concern about pandemic influenza, there is an emerging national consensus that the best path is an all-hazards approach to disaster preparedness planning and that effective local planning is critical. Military installations and their civilian counterparts-local government and local health-care providers, especially the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs-can strengthen local-level disaster preparedness planning. This is an interim report for the first phase of a larger study aiming to develop a planning support tool for local military and civilian planners. It describes current policies and programs-especially those with nationwide application-for domestic emergency preparedness, risk analysis, and capabilities-based planning. It also describes results from interviews with local military and civilian planners at five selected sites to help understand how local preparedness planning currently operates and identify the needs of local planners. Collectively, these form the basis for a proposed tool, for which the framework is described in this article. The next phase of the study will include development and field testing of a proof-of-concept prototype of the tool.
A HETEROPHILE SYSTEM IN HUMAN RENAL TRANSPLANTATION

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Antibodies that react with heterophile transplantation antigen (HTA) have been shown previously not to react with HLA-A, B, or C antigens. This paper presents evidence that anti-HTA does react with a subpopulation of human lymphocytes which is comprised primarily of B cells. Anti-HTA reactivity was removed from sera by absorption with each of three different human B lymphocyte cell lines, but it was unaffected by absorption with platelets or thymocytes. Selected high titer anti-HTA sera absorbed with human platelets, human blood group type AB erythrocytes, and sheep erythrocytes caused lysis of a lymphocyte subpopulation principally composed of B lymphocytes. Absorption of these sera with rat erythrocytes removed both lymphocytic activity and anti-HTA activity. Antibody recovered by affinity purification with rat erythrocyte membrane preparations contained both lymphocytic and anti-HTA reactivity. These data, considered with previous studies, seem to establish that B cell sensitization may be acquired by a substantial segment of the population by natural immunization from enteric flora and/or by infections with enteric bacteria.

Three major assignments were highlighted in the report to illustrate the many aspects of the role of a Product Design Engineer (PDE). In conclusion, this Industrial Attachment has given the student a flavour of the working life of an engineer, and the invaluable experience gained will greatly aid the student in his school curriculum as well as his future career.
Hd1, a Major Photoperiod Sensitivity Quantitative Trait Locus in Rice, Is Closely Related to the Arabidopsis Flowering Time Gene CONSTANS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A major quantitative trait locus (QTL) controlling response to photoperiod, Hd1, was identified by means of a map-based cloning strategy. High-resolution mapping using 1505 segregants enabled us to define a genomic region of approximately 12 kb as a candidate for Hd1. Further analysis revealed that the Hd1 QTL corresponds to a gene that is a homolog of CONSTANS in Arabidopsis. Sequencing analysis revealed a 43-bp deletion in the first exon of the photoperiod sensitivity 1 (se1) mutant HS66 and a 433-bp insertion in the intron in mutant HS110. Se1 is allelic to the Hd1 QTL, as determined by analysis of two se1 mutants, HS66 and HS110. Genetic complementation analysis proved the function of the candidate gene. The amount of Hd1 mRNA was not greatly affected by a change in length of the photoperiod. We suggest that Hd1 functions in the promotion of heading under short-day conditions and in inhibition under long-day conditions.
Infrared array camera (IRAC) design for the infrared imaging surveyor (IRIS)

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The revised baseline mission concept of the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) has assumed that the infrared array camera (IRAC), one of three focal plane instruments designed for SIRTF, will be removed from SIRTF and carried out collaboratively on the Japanese- launched Infrared Imaging Surveyor (IRIS) mission. The IRIS mission is an approved program scheduled for launch in 2001. In addition to IRAC, which will cover the 3 - 8 micron wavelength region, the proposed IRIS mission will also contain a mid-infrared array camera and a far-infrared scanner, consisting of three linear array detectors. We review the scientific requirements and design of IRAC required for incorporation into IRIS.
The Role of Prayer in Ministries Dependent upon Donations

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

He had just made a social faux pas that could mean the end of his vision and even his life.He became dreadfully afraid.Months of fasting and praying had preceded this day.How could God let it end this way?Quickly he reassured the donor of his non-threatening intentions and then he prayed.What happened next was an outlining of a detailed plan for the restoration of Jerusalem.In the end, the donor-king granted Nehemiah's request, but Nehemiah realized that the king's benevolence was "according to the good hand of my God upon me" (Neh 2:8).The first two chapters of Nehemiah are crammed full of inspiration for a ministry dependent upon donations.However, the two most important concepts are that God is the source of everything and that prayer is necessary in aligning a ministry with God's goals.Nehemiah was shaken when he received reports of his people back in Judah.He "sat down and wept, and mourned for many days" (Neh 1:4 NKJV).He then poured his heart out to God in a prayer that contained the elements of praise, confession of his people's sins, claiming the promise of God's faithfulness, and a request.The request was to find mercy in the sight of the King.Four months passed before the opportunity came.Being the king's cupbearer carried heavy responsibilities.Making sure that the king's drink was not poisoned also allowed Nehemiah access to the king.So when Nehemiah, for the first time ever, appeared sad before the king, Artaxeres called out his strange behavior.Immediately, Nehemiah realized the seriousness of the situation and became "dreadfully afraid."The words came out of his mouth, "May the King live forever!"He then went on to explain his sorrow of heart."What do you request?" the king asked.Then Nehemiah prayed.
Electronic learning communities

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Students working in an online environment are isolated from their educators and other learners. Asynchronous discussion forums are often used to provide the learner with assistance, support and the social structures more readily available in the face-to-face environment. A further benefit of online discussion forums is the enabling of the development of electronic learning communities. However, the operation of these communities has required learners and educators to adopt behaviours and strategies appropriate for communication within this medium. This paper presents a model for electronic learning communities developed from studies of computing students and their teaching staff. The studies found that the development of an electronic learning community was largely student driven; however, staff had key roles to play in this process. The paper concludes with a set of strategies for the establishment and effective management of these communities.
Dietary salt decreases cytosolic calcium in platelets from Dahl salt-sensitive rats

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

To determine whether abnormal cellular Ca2+ handling is involved in salt-induced hypertension of Dahl salt-sensitive rats (DS), we investigated Ca2+ handling in fura 2-loaded platelets of DS and Dahl salt-resistant rats (DR) fed a high-NaCl (8%) or a low-NacL (0.3%) diet for 4 wk from 5 wk of age. At 5 wk of age, blood pressure, resting cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), the thrombin-evoked increase in [Ca2+]i and the size of internal Ca2+ stores of DS were comparable with those of DR. After 4 wk on the diets, resting [Ca2+]i of DS on high-NaCl diet was lower than that of DS on low-NaCl diet, and there was no effect of high salt intake on resting [Ca2+]i in DR. In DS, high salt intake attenuated the [Ca2+]i response to thrombin in the presence of external Ca2+. In contrast, the [Ca2+]i response to thrombin in the absence of external Ca2+ was enhanced by high salt intake in DS. The size of internal Ca2+ stores was increased by high salt intake in DS but not in DR. These data suggest that it is not obligatory for hypertension to be accompanied by an increase in platelet [Ca2+]i.
Breaking Down Barriers or "Chameleon Effect": Effects of a Reform in Business Registration Process

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Several governments have implemented institutional reforms aimed at making company registration more agile and less costly. We used a reform implemented by the Brazilian government in 2007 to evaluate the effects in the registration processes of new companies, for different sizes, and its contribution to a greater inclusion of women as partners of new registered companies. Regarding the size of registered companies, we sought to assess the effect of the reform on the quality of new registered enterprises. In relation to the participation of women as partners in companies, these is a chronic problem, especially in developing countries, and evaluating policies that can contribute to a greater participation of women in the formal economy is essential to establish a promising path to follow. We used data from the Bureau of Trade of São Paulo State (Jucesp), which is the main body for registering new companies in Brazil. We took advantage of the publication of the new law to carry out a natural experiment, with the application of an event study design, which counted on staggered adoption (heterogeneity in the treatment) by the cities. The results pointed to a positive correlation between adhesion to the new law and the increase in new registered companies. Despite this, the results indicated a substitution effect, with an increase in new individual micro-entrepreneurs in detriment of registrations of larger companies. Lastly, the study also verified the beneficial effect of the new law on the gender issue, with an increase in the number of women who started to formalize their business.
New unsupervised hybrid classifier based on the fuzzy integral: applied to natural textured images

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This study presents a new unsupervised hybrid classifier for natural texture identification in aerial images. The proposed strategy combines through the fuzzy integral (FI) six well‐tested base supervised classifiers. This automation is based on the generation of a general rule inferred through decision tree learning, ID3 strategy from the training data. This rule allows generation of a partition of the set of images that the base classifiers use to estimate automatically their parameters. These parameters are the inputs to calculate the relative importance of each classifier in their combination by the FI. The resulting classifier has been compared with related techniques getting an improvement of 8.04% average. The study includes discussion on this comparison.
GermlineBRCA1 andHMLH1 mutations in a family with male and female breast carcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is an autosomal dominant disease, predisposing to the development of colorectal cancer and other tumor types such as endometrial, small bowel, stomach, ovary and urinary tract carcinoma, while most investigators find no association between HNPCC and cancer of the breast. We have identified hMLH1 mutations in 2 Amsterdam-criteria HNPCC families where both male and female gene carriers were affected with breast cancer. To investigate whether these breast cancers were caused by other genetic factors, we analyzed the 2 breast cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2. In one family we did not find any mutation in the breast cancer genes, while in the other, a BRCA1 mutation segregated in the breast cancer cases. Hereditary breast cancer, and in particular BRCA1 tumors, display discrete histo-pathological and immunohistological characteristics. The tumor from a woman with both hMLH1 mutations and a BRCA1 mutation exhibited typical BRCA1 histology, e.g., grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma with dense lymphocytic infiltration, and immunohistology, estrogen receptor (ER) negative, progesterone receptor (PgR) negative, strongly p53 positive, c-erbB-2 negative and highly Ki67 positive (>50% stained cells). The histology of the breast tumor from the man with both one hMLH1 mutation and a BRCA1 mutation was a grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma without any special BRCA1 features. Immunohistology was also different. This might merely reflect a true difference in male breast tumor progression vs. female. We cannot exclude that the combined effect of BRCA1 and hMLH1 dysfunction has a bearing on tumor progression.
Motivators and Barriers for Green Physical Activity in the U.S.: Examining the Role of Gender, Sexual Identity, Disability, and Race

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study explored differences in motivations and barriers for green physical activity (GPA) in a sample of U.S. adults (N = 205). Differences by identity (i.e. gender, sexual identity, disability status, and race/ethnicity) were examined. Participants (33.5 ± 9.2 years, 76.6% female and 7.8% genderqueer/non-conforming, 33.3% LGBTQIA+, 34.1% BIPOC, 10.7% individuals with disabilities) responded to survey measures for motivations/barriers and could provide open-ended motivations/barriers not covered by scales. Genderqueer/non-conforming participants were significantly less motivated by competition/ego, appearance, and others' expectations (p's < 0.05). LGBTQIA + participants were overall less motivated to do GPA (p = 0.02). Overall barrier scores were significantly higher for LGBTQIA + participants (p = 0.01) and participants with disabilities (p = 0.02). Qualitative analysis revealed themes outside of the scales for motivators (i.e. GPA integrated into daily life, active citizenship, mental health, and physical activity benefits) and further barriers at all levels (i.e. structural, interpersonal, and intrapersonal). Historically excluded groups' motivators/barriers should be prioritized in GPA-related campaigns and programming.
Effects of manure and chemical fertilizers on maize performance in the steep hillside with and without terraces in North Halmahera, Indonesia

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Improper soil management inland with steep slopes is one of the causes of decreased agricultural productivity in hilly areas. The use of terraces on steep slopes is considered effective in preventing erosion. However, this does not increase agricultural productivity significantly. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the performance of maize on land with and without terraces as affected by the addition of goat manure and NPK. A field experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design, consisting of 12 experimental plots that were made on a hill with a slope of 79 % with three replications. Plant tissue samples were analyzed for assessing N, P, and K content. However, soil samples were measured for N, P, K, SOC, pH H2O, EC, CEC, and soil texture. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and continued with a Post-Hoc test (DMRT at α= 5%). The application of manure and NPK fertilizers significantly improved EC, SOC, N, and P in soil, also N and P content in plant tissues. Goat manure played a role in improving soil properties, while NPK fertilizers played a role in supplying nutrient availability directly to plants. The best performance of maize was on land without terraces and cover crops (sweet potato). Competition for nutrients between maize and sweet potato occurred on land with terraces so that the performance of maize tended to be lower. Soil management on land with terraces needs to consider nutrient management and selection of cover crops so that both can increase maize productivity.
