From Theory to Practice: On the Ground Cultural Adaption of a Parenting Intervention for Ethnic Minority Families Involved in the Child Welfare System

Child maltreatment is a major public health issue in the United States. In the federal fiscal year 2017, approximately 7.5 million children were referred to child welfare services (CSW) in the nation. Developmental, emotional, behavioral, and cognitive problems are prevalent among children referred to CWS. For those in foster care, temporary or permanent placement frequently introduces additional instability into a child’s already chaotic life, increasing their risk for deleterious physical and mental health outcomes. Limited research exists documenting the impact of efficacious culturally adapted parent training (PT) interventions aimed at serving low‐income ethnic minority families involved in CWS. The objective of this study was twofold: to explicate how a culturally adapted PT intervention for diverse families involved in CWS was perceived by participants and to better understand how interventionists adapted to families’ needs. In this study, we conducted in‐depth interviews with 14 parents who had completed the adapted intervention, as well as all of the interventionists providing the intervention. A thematic analysis approach was used to analyze and interpret the data. Parents indicated the positive impact that the intervention had on enhancing their parenting skills, as well as their ability to cope with the challenges associated with having a child removed by CWS. Interventionists described the gradual adaptations they implemented, in an effort to increase its cultural and contextual relevance. Research findings are relevant to the family therapy field as they increase understanding about culturally adapted PT interventions for ethnic minority families within CWS contexts.

Influence of the allometric scale on the relationships between running economy, mechanical efficiency and performance in long distance runners : running efficiency and long-distance performance prediction

The aim of this thesis was to use allometric models to analyze the relationship that running economy(ECO) and mechanical efficiency (Ef) have on the performance of middle- and long-distance runners.Based on the results of three original studies, we concluded that allometric scaling can improve therelationship between ECO and performance in recreational middle- and long-distance runners, mainlydue to morphofunctional aspects. Similarly, the mechanical works, especially the external mechanicalwork, may be considered to be predictive of running performance and a specific allometric exponentcan improve these predictions. The results also showed that Ef is an important predictor of theperformance of long-distance runners. However, when the specific allometric exponents were applied,there was no improvement in the prediction of this performance. The results also showed that it isimportant to consider the contribution of anaerobic energy expenditure when calculating Ef, becauseotherwise the results may be overestimated, as already reported in other studies. In general, when theobjective is to predict the performance of middle- or long-distance runners through metabolic ormechanical powers, it is useful to adopt a specific allometric exponent of the group investigated.However, when this prediction is performed considering the Ef, particularly in high-performance longdistancerunners, the allometric application is not necessary.

PHARMACOLOGICAL THERAPEUTIC MONITORING OF MYCOPHENOLATE MOFETIL (MMF) IN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES AT EHU OF ORAN-ALGERIA : CONTRIBUTION OF PHARMACEUTICAL INTERVENTIONS

Introduction: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an immunosuppressant indicated for organ transplantation and other autoimmune diseases. The pharmacological therapeutic monitoring (PTM) of the MMF based on the measurement of the area under the curve (AUC) is justified. Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate the contribution of pharmaceutical interventions emitted during MMF PTM of patients with autoimmune diseases in the pharmacovigilance service of the EHU of Oran-Algeria. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive study of 5 years, dealing with patients treated by MMF for all autoimmune diseases in pharmacovigilance service of the EHU of Oran-Algeria. In total, 60 patients were monitored. The average age of the study population was 29.81 years with a female predominance of 56.66% (sex ratio 0.7). Result and Discussion: In our study lupus nephropathy represents the most common pathology with a rate of 51.67%, followed by nephrotic syndrome with 41.67%. 106 AUC were measured, 37.74% were below 30 mg.h / l, 49.06% were between 30 and 60 mg.h / l and 13.20% of the AUC were above 60 mg / h. / l. The signs of intolerance observed were: 60.42% of the disturbances of the hemogram, 16.67% of the various infections, 12.5% of the cutaneous affections and 10.41% of the digestive disorders. Various pharmaceutical opinions have been issued to manage this drug iatrogenic. Conclusion: The results of our study show that PTM has a major interest in predicting of response to MMF in autoimmune diseases. The application of MMF PTM in routine clinical practice should be generalized to adjust the dosage of MMF to improve the efficacy and reduce the adverse effects of this drug.

The impact of fencing training symmetrisation on simple reaction time

Abstract Study aim : The symmetrisation of movements can be a way to develop individual coordinative skills, and to prevent the occur-rence of injuries. For this reason, in this study an attempt was made to evaluate and compare simple reaction time and movement time for épée fencers of different sports classes, and to determine the impact that three years of symmetrisation training and unilateral training have on the speed of reaction components and on dynamical asymmetry. Material and methods : The study was conducted on 60 women épée fencers of different sports classes, and it was repeated in two groups after three years of unilateral and symmetrisation training. Simple reaction time and movement time for the dominant and the non-dominant hand were analysed using Vienna Test System. Results : Women épée fencers of high sports class were characterised by a significantly faster reaction time than their less experienced colleagues. In tests conducted after three years of symmetrisation training, athletes from the experimental group achieved also much better results in reaction time (RT) than those from the control group training with the unilateral method. Conclusions : Long-time unilateral training of master class women épée fencers led to dynamical asymmetry, which in the future could cause injuries and have a negative impact on the development of selected motor skills. Symmetrical training conducted in the experimental group had a positive impact on reaction time indicators as well as on movement time indicators, and it prevented the occurrence of dynamical asymmetry in the tested competitors. Thus, it can be inferred that symmetrical exercises will have a positive impact on training effectiveness and on versatility of athletes.

High rates of cervical cancer among HIV-infected women at a referral hospital in Malawi

Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among women in Malawi. National guidelines recommend screening women aged 30–45 years every five years; however, no specific recommendations exist for women with HIV. We aimed to assess the frequency of high-grade dysplasia (CIN 2 or CIN3) and cervical cancer among women in central Malawi and to examine associations with CIN2+ (CIN2/3 or cancer). We extracted cervical Pap smear, biopsy, loop electrosurgical excision procedure and uterine specimen reports from a hospital pathology database from November 2012 to November 2013. We used logistic regression to estimate associations with CIN2+. We reviewed specimens from 824 women; we excluded 194 with unknown HIV status, leaving 630 in the analytic sample. Twelve percent had high-grade dysplasia and 109 women (17%) had cancer. Twenty-five percent of high-grade dysplasia cases and 35% of cancers occurred among women outside recommended screening ages. The odds of having CIN2+ were 6.55 times (95% CI 4.44-9.67) greater for HIV+ women. High-grade dysplasia and cervical cancer are very common among Malawian women, especially HIV+ women. HIV infection was strongly associated with CIN2+. Expanding screening to women not covered by current guidelines could avert a substantial proportion of cervical cancer cases in Malawi.

Pengaruh Kualitas Pelayanan Post-natal Care terhadap Kepuasan Ibu Post-partum di Puskesmas Kandangan, Kediri

Two out of three most common factors causing maternal deaths in Indonesia are bleeding and infections that occur in postpartum mothers. One important factor in postnatal care (PNC) services is the satisfaction of postpartum mothers with the care they receive. The study aimed to study the influence of postnatal care service quality on the satisfaction of postpartum mothers. This is a quantitative approach and the satisfaction dimension, including technical competence, effectiveness, efficiency, safety, information, punctuality, and interpersonal relationships. Data were collected by interviews using questionnaires and statistically analyzed using a t-test followed by multiple linear regression with the constant value of 0.678. The result showed that the dimensions of technical competence, efficiency, safety, information, punctuality, and interpersonal relationships affect postpartum maternal satisfaction. Meanwhile, the effectiveness dimension does not affect postpartum maternal satisfaction, and the efficiency dimension has the highest effect on postpartum maternal satisfaction at Kandangan Public Health Center, Kediri.

Group Grievances &amp; Civil War: Some Theory and Empirics on Competing Mechanisms, 1990-2017

&lt;p&gt;Recent scholarship forcefully claims that group grievances due to political exclusion and discrimination drive civil wars. This perspective argues that socio-psychological factors allow groups to overcome collective action problems. We argue that the grievance perspective (over)focuses on the &lt;i&gt;ends&lt;/i&gt; and not &lt;i&gt;means&lt;/i&gt;, which are critical to explain how groups survive state repression, allowing contention to become civil wars. We suggest that inclusive economic governance reduces investment in state-evading infrastructures for quotidian economic reasons. Our analyses show that group-grievance-generating political factors are poorer predictors of civil war compared with economic freedoms measured as free-market friendly policies and the private ownership of economies. These results are robust to several alternative models, data, and estimating method. Theory that ignores the &lt;i&gt;means &lt;/i&gt;explain the main causes of costly violence only partially or mistake symptom for cause. Freedom and inclusiveness are intrinsically valuable and hard to obtain when violence is waged for narrower ends. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from pet animals and pet and non-pet owners

This study was done to determine the occurrence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among
cats and dogs, the pet owners and in persons who did not keep pets and to determine the antibiotic susceptibility of
the isolates. MRSA was isolated from 7 (11.7%),18 (30%) and 8 (13.3%) of the 60 samples each collected from 30 cats
and dogs, 30 pet owners and 30 persons who did not keep pets respectively. Twenty percent (6/30) of the cats and
dogs, 30% (9/30) of pet owners and 20% (8/30) of persons who did not keep pets were positive for MRSA. The S. aureus isolates showed resistance to four other antibiotics, namely ampicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline and streptomycin; all isolates were sensitive to gentamicin. The zoonotic and anthroponotic potentials of MRSA in animals were reviewed.

Congenital coronary artery aneurysms.

Two patients, aged 4 and 23 years, with congenital aneurysms of the coronary arteries are described.The pathology was different in each and required different surgical techniques involving obliteration of the aneurysm or establishing coronary flow with a saphenous vein graft.The clinical and radiologicalfeatures are described.Aneurysms of the coronary arteries are rare, and it is only after the advent of coronary arteriography that they have been diagnosed in life.They may be due to atherosclerosis, necrotizing arteritis, myocotic emboli, syphilis, or trauma, and occasionally they are congenital.The prognosis appears to be poor and death can occur suddenly from rupture, peripheral coronary embolism, or bacterial endo- carditis (Packard and Wechsler, I929; ScOtt, I948;

Evaluation of the operational capabilities of a new extrathoracic negative pressure device for use in newborn infants.

We evaluated the operational capabilities of a new negative pressure incubator from Chelmsford, England prior to its use in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Successful manufacturer's testing had already been completed. Teams of respiratory therapists and a biomedical engineer evaluated two identical units using 22 criteria, and results were scored on a pass/fail basis. The device passed our evaluation; we found it to be well built and reliable, with a wide range of rate, inspiratory time, peak negative inspiratory pressure and negative expiratory extrathoracic pressure settings. It did not pass criteria involving pressure monitor reliability, pressure relief, suction unit alarms, ease of service and service manual. This device may be used as a ventilator for intubated or non-intubated infants, in tandem with positive pressure mechanical ventilation replacing positive end-expiratory pressure with negative end-expiratory pressure, or alone in the continuous negative extrathoracic pressure mode.

Dynamic-Aware Autonomous Exploration in Populated Environments

Autonomous exploration allows mobile robots to navigate in initially unknown territories in order to build complete representations of the environments. In many real-life applications, environments often contain dynamic obstacles which can compromise the exploration process by temporarily blocking passages, narrow paths, exits or entrances to other areas yet to be explored. In this work, we formulate a novel exploration strategy capable of explicitly handling dynamic obstacles, thus leading to complete and reliable exploration outcomes in populated environments. We introduce the concept of dynamic frontiers to represent unknown regions at the boundaries with dynamic obstacles together with a cost function which allows the robot to make informed decisions about when to revisit such frontiers. We evaluate the proposed strategy in challenging simulated environments and show that it outperforms a state-of-the-art baseline in these populated scenarios.

Learning from Mistakes is Easier Said Than Done: Group and Organizational Influences on the Detection and Correction of Human Error

This research explores how group- and organizational-level factors affect errors in administering drugs to hospitalized patients. Findings from patient care groups in two hospitals show systematic differences not just in the frequency of errors, but also in the likelihood that errors will be detected and learned from by group members. Implications for learning in and by work teams in general are discussed.

Sidgwick's Conception of Ethics

J. B. Schneewind's Sidgwick's Ethics and Victorian Moral Philosophy surpassed all previous treatments of Sidgwick's The Methods of Ethics by showing how Sidgwick's work follows a coherent plan of argument for a conception of ethics as grounded in practical reason. Schneewind offered his interpretation as the product of a historical rather than a critical study. This article undertakes a critical study of Sidgwick's work based on Schneewind's interpretation. Its thesis is that the conception of ethics for which Sidgwick argued is incoherent. As a result, it is argued, the coherent plan of argument in the Methods that Schneewind disclosed masks a deep incoherence in the argument itself.

Impact of New Medical Technology on User Performance

Advances in medical technology have enabled many diagnostics to be performed by patients themselves. One example involves the meters used by diabetics to monitor their blood glucose levels. To reduce user error, newer meters eliminate the need to wipe excess blood from the test strip. This study examined user performance with “no-wipe” and “wipe” meters. Procedural errors and reading accuracy were observed in groups differing in blood glucose testing experience. The results indicated that, each group initially made significantly fewer errors with the “no-wipe” meters; after extended use, this difference disappeared. Moreover, no significant differences were observed in the accuracy of readings obtained with the “no-wipe” and the “wipe” meters. The potential gains in effectiveness by the newer “no-wipe” technology were offset by the continued presence of another type of user error. User performance testing can identify the steps that are most critical to safe and effective use of a medical device. Improving user performance at these steps, then, can become the focus for new technology.

The Impact of Non-Citizen Population in Regional Differences in Non-Voting in the USA

Given that voting is the bedrock of any functional democracy, it is an intriguing puzzle as to why many eligible voters often choose not to vote. The rational choice theory posits that voters might decide to stay away from voting, especially if they believe that their votes are inconsequential and not enough to change the outcomes of an election, especially involving many unrelated voters. However, other socioeconomic factors may modify that belief as voters may respond to the environment they live in and vote accordingly just to make a statement. Also, affinity to other fellow citizens and the presence of social capital may lead the voters to vote in higher numbers to signal voter solidarity. Using the US Census Bureau’s voting participation and citizenship composition data at the state levels for the year 2020, this paper shows that citizens feel positively inclined to participate in voting if a larger percentage of citizens are registered to vote. Furthermore, controlling for voter registration and regional indicator variables, non-voting (by the registered voters) seems to decline (voting seems to increase) as the percentage of non-citizens increases in the population. The first result seems to point to the non-trivial role played by social capital and voter affinity in increasing turnout, while the second and the key result of this paper seems to indicate that larger immigration numbers may energize the citizens to vote in higher numbers, thereby reducing the percentage of citizens who do not vote. Further evidence regarding regional variations suggests that controlling for voter registration and percentage of non-citizens in the population, non-voting may be lower in the North-Eastern and Western regions of the USA compared to the Southern and Mid-Western regions. Asymmetries in regional immigrations, voter registration and voter engagement present a very interesting dynamism for future elections and public policy formulation in the USA.

Social Roles Contribute to Age and Sex Stereotypes.

MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. College Students; Higher Education; Racial Factors; *Role; *Role Perception; Role Theory; Sex Stereotypes; Social Cognition; *Stereotypes The purpose of this study was to test hypotheses drawn from the social role model about the process that people use in deciding what other people are like, focusing on the difference that other people's age, race, and sex make. A sample of non-Latino White students (671) ranging in age from 18 to 81 years used the Bem Sex-Role Inventory (BSRI) to rate a person in one of 12 target groups (a race-unspecified or African-American woman or man in their late 20s, late 40s or late 60s). Race-unspecified targets were almost always seen as non-Latiro Whites. Old persons and women were seen as significantly more communal and less agentic in personality than younger adults and men, respectively. When students' estimates of the likelihood that the target they were rating was retired was controlled, the main effect for age of target in communal traits disappeared. This finding supports the interpretation that age stereotypes partly stem from perceivers' observations of people's social roles.
