An Ethical Analysis Of Contemporary Healthcare Practices And Issues , Gerald Mark Breen M.A., Michael Loyal M.A., Vanessa Littleton R.N., Binyam Seblega M.B.A., Seung Chun Paek M.S., Natthani Meemon M.A., Nancy Ellis Ph.D., Thomas T.H. Wan Ph.D.

Journal of Health Ethics

The purpose of this analysis is to examine specific segments of healthcare policy and practice, applying various ethical perspectives. We examine the economic and political influences that surround ethical behavior in health services, as well as how practitioners, patients, and families respond and act as a result of such influences. We then delve into the fundamental principles that guide ethical behavior by medical practitioners, including the Hippocratic Oath and vows of medical professionalism. Further, we analyze disparities in healthcare provisions based on gender, race, and ethnicity. Ethical theory is weaved into each of these sections, as the philosophical and ethical …

An Interdisciplinary Approach To The Informed Consent Process: Factors That Affect Participants’ Perceptions Of The Informed Consent , Roxanne L. Dufrene Ph.D., Cism, Lmft, Lpc_S, Ncc, Bart Denys M.D., Brian Dufrene Mba, R.Ph.

Journal of Health Ethics

Participant – researcher communication during the informed consent process has characterized such interactions as being informative. The present research provides participants’ perceptions of the informed consent process, factors that affect their decisions to participate, in addition to highlighting participants’ relationships with the various professionals involved. A telephone survey was conducted with 60 participants previously enrolled in one of five drug trails. Findings indicated that the majority of participants perceived the informed consent process was valid, understood their rights as participants, had a high level of trust for the professionals involved, and with self-benefit as one of the first reasons for …

Value Added Services: Publishing Continuum At The University Of Nebraska–Lincoln, Joan Giesecke, Paul Royster

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Presentations

During its 3 years of operations, the institutional repository at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln has gathered and posted over 19,000 documents, which, together with its hosted ETD collection, make it the country’s 3rd largest IR. Usage records also indicate it is one of the busiest, as well, furnishing almost 120,000 downloads during the most recent month (October 2008).

The IR has also become the cornerstone for a bundle of electronic publishing services developed and provided by the UNL Libraries. Indeed, these services may be seen as the enablers or preconditions of the IR’s successful track record.

To facilitate and accelerate …

Development Of The High Altitude Student Platform, T. G. Guzik, S. Besse, A. Calongne, A. Dominique, S. B. Ellison, R. Gould, D. Granger, D. Olano, D. Smith, M. Stewart, J. P. Wefel

Faculty Publications

The High Altitude Student Platform (HASP) was originally conceived to provide student groups with access to the near-space environment for flight durations and experiment capabilities intermediate between what is possible with small sounding balloons and low Earth orbit rocket launches. HASP is designed to carry up to twelve student payloads to an altitude of about 36 km with flight durations of 15-20 h using a small zero-pressure polyethylene film balloon. This provides a flight capability that can be used to flight-test compact satellites, prototypes and other small payloads designed and built by students. HASP includes a standard mechanical, power and …

Connecting A Disjointed System: A First Look At Aligning Education In Alaska, G. Williamson Mcdiarmid, Alexandra Hill

ISER Reports

We’ve heard it before, but it’s still true: too many Alaska students don’t have the skills they need to move on to the next stage of education or to get good jobs. Too many drop out of high school, and too few of those who graduate go on to college or other post-secondary education—and among those who do go on to post-secondary education, many don’t graduate within four or even six years. Employers report that young people entering the work world directly after they graduate from high school (or right after they drop out) don’t have the reading, writing, and …

Niebuhr’S Immoral Society And Bellah’S Good Society: A Conversation About Moral Man, Harlan Stelmach

Collected Faculty Scholarship

The title of my paper is an indication of where I began my thinking about this project. I was convinced from the start that Niebuhr’s and Bellah’s most significant disagreement would be how they viewed the role of collective life. Second, I assumed that they would have their most significant area of agreement on the moral capacity and responsibility of individuals. If you focus on Niebuhr’s early work, especially in Moral Man and Immoral Society and Bellah’s mature work today, these assumptions are generally true. Further, I still expected some broad lines of continuity in the work of these two …

Measuring Culture Change As An Evaluation Indicator: Applying Cultural Consensus Analysis To Cultural Models Of Lymphatic Filariasis In Haiti, Kelly M. Simpson

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Introduction: This project explores the links between shared cultural beliefs in the illness domain, specific to lymphatic filariasis, and a support group program implemented in three Haitian towns. The purpose is to introduce an innovative approach to evaluation, the cultural model evaluation technique (CM Evaluation), as well as gain an understanding of the shifting cognitive belief structure around the cultural domain of lymphatic filariasis in the Haitian setting as associated with a support group intervention.

Method: The sample population was comprised of 241 women across three sites in Haiti: Archaie, Cabaret, and La Plaine. Data were collected from longitudinal surveys …

Multi-Level Regulation Of Argininosuccinate Synthase: Significance For Endothelial Nitric Oxide Production, Karen Davidowitz Corbin

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The citrulline-nitric oxide (NO) cycle, comprised of the enzymes argininosuccinate synthase (AS), argininosuccinate lyase (AL) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), is responsible for the regulated production of endothelial NO. Although most studies have focused on eNOS to uncover important regulatory mechanisms, we and others have determined that AS is an essential and regulated step in endothelial NO production. AS is rate limiting for endothelial NO production and is the primary source of arginine, the substrate for eNOS-mediated NO production, despite saturating intracellular levels of arginine and available arginine transport systems. AS is essential for endothelial cell viability and its …

Evaluation Of A Standardized Protocol For Parent Training In Positive Behavior Support Using A Multiple Baseline Design, Robin Lane

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Challenging behaviors such as hitting, kicking, screaming, destruction of property and other socially-inappropriate behaviors are common among children with significant disabilities. Behavior Parent Training (BPT), which is based on basic principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), has been shown to be effective in reducing these problem behaviors. Traditional approaches to BPT have typically emphasized consequence-based interventions, however, advances in the field of ABA (e.g., FBA, antecedent-based interventions) and PBS have led to more strategies that are more effective in complex community environments. Evidence of such practices is emerging but has not been adequately documented. The current study evaluated the use …
