An Ecological Approach To Improving Reentry Programs For Justice-Involved African American Men, Precious Skinner-Osei, Peter Claudius Osei

Journal of Prison Education and Reentry (2014-2023)

This article is a re-analysis of a previous study (please see https://doi.org/10.1080/10911359.2017.1402724). Considering the previous findings, in addition to the recent discussions around criminal justice reform, race, policing, and mental health in the United States, the data were reanalyzed using an updated version of QSR NVivo. The new findings revealed that reintegrating justice-involved African American men back into society requires reentry programs to utilize a different approach. Reentry programs must be constructed under the notion that the process involves multiple interrelated components that interact with larger systems outside the individual or organization's immediate control or organization advocating for them. …

The Importance Of Nutrition Education As A Recovery Component For Individuals With Severe Mental Illnesses, Emily Martinez

Master's Projects and Capstones

In efforts to challenge the Western medicine’s determination of nutrition as a holistic approach, this paper represents the intent for mental health facilities in California to improve or implement nutrition education curriculum by enhancing interprofessional teams with dietitians as an important component of recovery for severe mental illness patients. There is concrete evidence proving that individuals who are in facilities recovering from mental illnesses have benefited from optimal nutrition consumption. Nutrition education has become a component among the toolbox of recovery options, but unfortunately it is not encouraged enough. Pharmaceutical companies advertise drug therapy as the most effective way to …

Thoughts On Comprehensive Scoring Method In Fiscal Performance Evaluation, Aruhan, Cheng Yanlin, Li Xiaoxuan, Gao Jun, Han Fengqin

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

Having practiced for more than 20 years, China has basically established the framework of fiscal performance evaluation system and method. As one of the majorly applied fiscal performance evaluation methods in China, Comprehensive Scoring Method (CSM) has played a critical role in the rapid promotion of performance evaluation practice due to its standardization, transparency, and operability. However, CSM is also challenged by certain problems, such as multi-dimensional hybrid evaluation, progress-focused evaluation, and poor reflection of the actual performance, and even it faced with severer challenges for its application in science and technology field. Based on the aforementioned problems, this study …

Posesiones Sexo-Generizadas: Géneros Móviles Y Sexualidades Disputadas En Rituales De Kimbanda, Dahiana Barrales Palacio

Conexión Queer: Revista Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Teologías Queer

This article outlines some interpretive and analytical clues that discuss the relationship between African-based religions and sexual and gender classifications in their doctrinal body. It mainly focuses on the performance of ritual manifestations. My election of Kimbanda rituals relies on the manifestations of Pomba Gira. This spiritual entity appears in the archetype of a sensual and powerful woman who, in her earthly life, was a prostitute. During the rituals, she becomes a queen. It concludes that African-based religions involve different ways of being and inhabiting the world, both material and spiritual. That characteristic allows for the bending of gender/sexual norms …

Teaching And The Experience Of Disability: The Pedagogy Of Ed Roberts, Scot Danforth

Education Faculty Articles and Research

Ed Roberts was a renowned activist considered to be one of the founding leaders of the American disability rights movement. Although he engaged in numerous political strategies, his main form of activism was teaching in his prolific public speaking career across the United States and around the world.

His teaching featured autobiographic selections from his own life in which he fought and defeated forces of oppression and discrimination. This article examines Roberts’ disability rights teaching in relation to the experiential sources, political …

Church On The March: Sexual And Gender Dissidents In The Struggle For Embodied Political Rights, Ana Ester Pádua Freire

Conexión Queer: Revista Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Teologías Queer

The relations between Christianity, sexual/gender dissidents, and civil rights of LGBTIQ+ people constitute an essential field of analysis considering Brazilian religious conservatism’s upsurge. The tensions evoked by these political actors within the public space reveal art as a mechanism for sexual /gender dissidents' visibility. Artivism —perceived as political liturgy— subverts precarity. This article investigates the Metropolitan Community Church of Belo Horizonte’s participation in the «III March against LGBTphobia» in Minas Gerais in 2016. The public presence of an affirming Christian community reveals that religious and political artivism reconfigures the public space.

Program Evaluation Of The Vapro Touch-Free Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter In Hospitalized Patients Experiencing Urinary Retention, Dorothy Neufeld

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Manuscripts

Abstract

A 319-bed hospital on the Florida Gulf coast revised their Bladder Care Bundle policy in September 2020. The document provided an algorithm to be followed to determine if intermittent urinary catheterization is warranted rather than an indwelling catheter to relieve urinary retention. Concurrently, this change included the introduction of a new product, Hollister’s VaPro Touch-Free Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter which is considerably different from the traditional straight intermittent catheter previously utilized by the hospital. Its protective sheath and inducer tip are purported by the manufacturer to decrease the chance of contamination during insertion and thus reducing infection rates. A program …

The Electronic Properties Of Ni(Pnn) Pincer Complexes Modulate Activity In Catalytic Hydrodehalogenation Reactions, Denan Wang, James R. Gardinier

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

Three chloronickel(II) complexes of PNN‐ pincer ligands with pyrazolyl and diphenylphosphino donors appended to different arms of diarylamido anchors were prepared and fully characterized. The three derivatives (1‐OMe, 1‐Me, 1‐CF₃) differ only by the identity of the para‐aryl substituent on the pyrazolyl arm with 1‐OMe being 310 mV easier to oxidize than 1‐CF₃. All three complexes are competent catalysts for hydrodehalogenation reactions of 1‐bromooctane and a variety of aryl halides in dimethylacetamide using NaBH₄ as both base and hydride source. Comparative studies using diverse substrates showed that catalytic activity correlates with electron donor properties; …

A Conceptual Model Evaluation Framework For Adaptive Governance And Adaptive Management In Large-Scale Restoration Programs, Chadwin Smith

School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research

Adaptive management (AM) has become a kind of plastic phrase applied as a formulaic panacea for most major species recovery and ecosystem restoration efforts now underway across the United States. AM emerged as an application of the scientific method to resource management, closely tying management to science learning through experimental actions. The phrase “learning by doing” best captures the premise behind developing an experimental management approach that could be applied on the larger scale of a river system or ecosystem. In nearly five decades of application, however, examples of successful AM implementation at large scales are few and conflict remains …
