Baseline data reflected a fall rate of 4.2 in the long-term care areas despite improving the fall prevention program.

PICOT: The PICOT question that guided this project was: In older adult residents (P), what is the effect of a standing operating procedure (SOP) using patient-centered interventions (I) compared to physician-driven fall interventions (C) on decreasing falls and falls with injuries (O) within one month (T)?

Evidence: In twelve high-quality articles that fit the eligibility criteria and …


Equity In Program Evaluation: Equity As A Measure In Program Evaluation, Marco S. Thomas Nov 2020

Equity In Program Evaluation: Equity As A Measure In Program Evaluation, Marco S. Thomas

School of Professional and Continuing Studies Nonprofit Studies Capstone Projects

Changes to equity and inclusion mean, not only including, but also valuing, and sharing power with, community members and stakeholders of various backgrounds. In addition to race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender identity, physical and mental abilities, as well as where they intersect, should be represented throughout the entire evaluation process. Countless surveys make assumptions about communities without knowing the culture of the community. This study explores where equity does and does not exist, in the process of creating and conducting the evaluations that are used to measure the successful execution of nonprofit programs. The inclusion of program participants and …

Biomechanical Comparison Of The Validity Of Two Configurations Of Simulators For Body-Powered Hand Prostheses, Camille Bennett, Amanuel Matias, Brendan Smith, Jenevieve Roper, Stephen Estelle Nov 2020

Biomechanical Comparison Of The Validity Of Two Configurations Of Simulators For Body-Powered Hand Prostheses, Camille Bennett, Amanuel Matias, Brendan Smith, Jenevieve Roper, Stephen Estelle

Honors Thesis

Simulators are often used in prosthesis research to evaluate new devices or characterize aspects of prosthesis use, so as to recruit participants without amputations. Simulators, in general, must locate the prosthesis somewhere other than where the intact biological limb exists. In this study, we compared two configurations of simulators for hand prostheses to determine which leads to more natural elbow and shoulder kinematics, and in turn, which is the more valid simulator. One configuration located the prosthesis in-line with the forearm, beyond the biological hand; the other located it beside the hand. We measured the kinematics of 12 non-amputee participants …

Peninsula Medical School

Background The approach taken to support individuals during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic needs to take into account the requirements of people with intellectual disabilities and/or autism, who represent a major vulnerable group, with higher rates of co-occurring health conditions and a greater risk of dying prematurely. To date, little evidence on COVID-related concerns have been produced and no report has provided structured feedback from the point of view of people with intellectual disabilities and/or autism or of their family/carers. Aims To provide systemised evidence-based information of the priority concerns for people with intellectual disabilities and/or autism regarding the …

Change Of Venue In Covid-19 “Hot Spots”: Can Coronavirus Related Lawsuits Get Fair Trials In Locations Hit Hardest By The Disease?, Marc A. Consalo

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

As our country struggles with returning to normalcy after the difficulties inflicted by the Coronavirus, throughout the fifty states lawsuits are beginning to be filed that originate, at least in part, with repercussions from the outbreak. With companies just starting to reopen their doors, some experts believe tort lawyers are readying clients to file lawsuits for lost wages and medical costs associated with contracting the disease while in a person’s business. The possibility of wrongful death lawsuits initiating from the cruise ship industry is a valid concern as well, with an April 23, 2020, Miami Herald article finding at least …

Death Sentence: A Compendium Against Assailment, John F. Serafine

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

Getting people to kill themselves is the oldest trick in the book. There ought to be a constitutional law against it. This Article proposes one.“Assailment” means asking, telling, or tempting a person under the age of eighteen to attempt or complete suicide. It also includes extorting or blackmailing a child into suicidal behavior. Such a law is necessary because of the skyrocketing rate of youth suicide. Death Sentence: A Compendium Against Assailment encourages lawmakers to enact an assailment statute. It further tells the stories of 41 completed youth suicides, 15 attempts, and 8 cases of suicidal ideation. The rigors of …


As Winding As The Serpentine Wall: Tennessee's Adoption Statute Under Lemon, Thomas Rader Nov 2020

As Winding As The Serpentine Wall: Tennessee's Adoption Statute Under Lemon, Thomas Rader

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

This comment argues that Tenn. Code Ann. 36-1-147 is unconstitutional under both the Tennessee and U.S. Constitutions by demonstrating that the test outlined in Lemon v. Kurzman is appropriate for legislation of this kind, as it is a statute regulating a secular activity in which religious institutions participate. The Comment continues by diving into the legislative history of 36-1-147 before faithfully applying the Lemon test to the statute at hand.

Lions And Tigers And Bears, Oh My!: The Necessity For Uniform Regulations And Training Of Assistance Animals To Curtail Discriminatory And Fraudulent Behaviors Regarding Such Animals, Robert Maines Nov 2020

Lions And Tigers And Bears, Oh My!: The Necessity For Uniform Regulations And Training Of Assistance Animals To Curtail Discriminatory And Fraudulent Behaviors Regarding Such Animals, Robert Maines

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

With the proliferation of service and emotional support animals fulfilling multiple forms of assistance or comfort, “considerable confusion over the meaning of individual terms used to designate the function and role of service animals, assistance animals, therapy animals, and emotional support animals” is understandable. This is further exacerbated by the terms used by differing agencies, organizations, and innumerable statutes that are meant to ensure the right and privilege of the use of these animals. It is no wonder that public perception would be affected. The affectation of public perception is most evident in the determination of the service animal over …


Resolving The Overlooked Tragedy In Correctional Facilities: Medication Assisted Treatment Access For Inmates, Shianne M. Bowlin Nov 2020

Resolving The Overlooked Tragedy In Correctional Facilities: Medication Assisted Treatment Access For Inmates, Shianne M. Bowlin

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

Despite the protections laid out in the Eighth Amendment, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and American Bar Association (ABA) Standards, individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) who require medication assisted treatment (MAT) while incarcerated continue to be stripped of their right to proper medical treatment. While there is existing scholarship on whether access to MAT violates the Eighth Amendment, this scholarship is relying on one court case that relies on misinterpretation of the Food and Drug Administration regulations. There is scant scholarship addressing access to medication assisted treatment in correctional facilities under the ADA. This article demonstrates the clear discriminatory …


The Long-Term Gender And Race Issues In Long-Term Care, Brendan Williams Nov 2020

The Long-Term Gender And Race Issues In Long-Term Care, Brendan Williams

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

Women outlive men, and, as a consequence, comprise the majority of residents in both the home health and nursing home long-term care settings. Their caregivers are also overwhelmingly-women -- 92% of nursing assistants in nursing homes, for example. And those caregivers are largely non-white. Long-term care has long been regarded as "women's work," beginning with its slavery antecedents in the home setting. This article explores the connection between the devaluing of long-term care, which is largely state-funded through Medicaid, and the gender and race dynamics of long-term care.


Going For The Green: Social Equity In The Recreational Cannabis Industry, Benjamin P. Sheppard Nov 2020

Going For The Green: Social Equity In The Recreational Cannabis Industry, Benjamin P. Sheppard

Lincoln Memorial University Law Review Archive

In the Summer of 2020 Americans marched in the streets to protest police brutality and the killing of George Floyd. Some activists point out that the disparate enforcement of the war on drugs frequently makes minorities a frequent target for police brutality. After decades of total war, the war on drugs is showing signs of drawing down as 11 states have legalized recreational cannabis. Nonetheless, as states legalize recreational cannabis rich white entrepreneurs enjoy a greater share of legalization’s economic benefits. Seeking to remedy this problem, six states have enacted cannabis social equity laws that encourage the participation of individuals …

Arts Education: Benefits, Disparities, And Reaching For Equal Access, Madelaine Shreeman Nov 2020

Arts Education: Benefits, Disparities, And Reaching For Equal Access, Madelaine Shreeman

Senior Honors Theses

Arts education is a unique way to engage students. The arts include, but are not limited to, music, theatre, visual/studio arts, poetry, and dance; they are powerful bridges for students to knowledge and classroom contribution. They assist students with lower academic achievement, problematic behavior, or those who have a likelihood of dropping out of school. While there are plenty of resources displaying the student benefits, there remain inequalities in access to arts education among students across America. Often, areas and schools that generally receive fewer opportunities or less arts funding are ones with more at-risk youth. Disproportionate arts access negatively …

Celecoxib Loaded In-Situ Provesicular Powder And Its In-Vitro Cytotoxic Effect For Cancer Therapy: Fabrication, Characterization, Optimization And Pharmacokinetic Evaluation, Shady Swidan, Ali Nasr, Sameh Elhady, Noha Badawi

Pharmacy

Introduction: Several recent studies have shown that the role of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) in carcinogenesis has become more evident. It affects angiogenesis, apoptosis, and invasion, and plays a key role in the production of carcinogens. It has also been reported that COX-2 inhibitors such as celecoxib (CLX) might play an effective role in preventing cancer formation and progression. Formulation of CLX into nanovesicles is a promising technique to improve its bioavailability and anticancer efficacy. Aim: The aim of this study is to optimize and evaluate the anticancer efficacy of CLX-loaded in-situ provesicular powder composed of surfactants and fatty alcohol-based novel …

Who Relocates, Where Do They Move, And Why?, Yung Chun, Jason Jabbari, Pranav Nandan, Andrew Foell, Michal Grinstein-Weiss

Social Policy Institute Research

The lack of socioeconomic mobility among marginalized populations leads to the concentration of poverty, a long-standing issue in American cities. Empirical studies on neighborhood effects have found that poverty concentration adversely affects the socioeconomic mobility of residents—associated with their economic well-being, employment, education, health, and safety—in lower-income neighborhoods. Through a variety of neighborhood revitalization projects, federal, state, and local governments have put enormous efforts into cutting the vicious cycle of poverty while increasing the socioeconomic mobility of lower-income households. One of these projects, the Choice Neighborhood Initiative, is a recent Federal effort to revitalize distressed public housing sites in American …
