Creating Rural Nurse Retention Strategies For Nursing Administrators, Susan Lesser

Doctoral Projects

Rural area nurse retention has been referred to as a crisis for decades; this crisis has been exacerbated by several factors including the COVID-19 pandemic, resources being directed towards larger hospitals, the inability to recruit and retain healthcare providers to rural areas, and the aging workforce (Rossetter, 2020). The researcher in this Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Project investigated the elements that encourage rural nurse retention and sought to develop retention strategies that are rooted in the literature and anchored in the concerns of rural nurses. Retention strategy recommendations were drawn from results from the Revised Casey Fink Nurse Retention …

Effect Of Temperature Cycling Pretreatment On The Thermal Stability Of Sm2(Co, Fe, Zr, Cu)17 Magnets In The Mild Temperature Range, Hulin Wu, Zhimei Long, Zhongsheng Li, Kaiqiang Song, Chaoqun Li, Dalong Cong, Bin Shao, Xiaowei Liu, Jianchun Sun, Yilong Ma

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

The irredeemable magnetic losses of Sm(Co, Fe, Zr, Cu)7.8 permanent magnets caused by oxidation are very important for their practical application. In this work, the simulated results with R2 ≥ 98% based on the data of the temperature cycling test and the long-term isothermal test for the original samples confirmed that the magnetic flux losses reached 9.38% after the 5000th cycle in range R.T.–300 °C, and 7.15% after oxidated at 180 °C for 10 years, respectively. Demagnetization curves showed that the low-temperature oxidation mainly led to the remanence attenuation, while the coercivity remained relatively stable. SEM observation and EDS …

Fabrication, Characterization, And Simulation Of Graphene-Copper Electrical Conductors, Raju Prasad Ghimire

Nanoscience and Microsystems ETDs

The addition of nanocarbons to copper (Cu), specifically in the form of graphene (GN), has been shown to enhance copper's properties. GN-Cu nanocomposites can potentially achieve higher electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties compared with copper. These characteristics make GN-Cu materials interesting for several applications including but not limited to interconnects, high voltage lines, and rotating machines. Copper’s microstructure and nanoscale interfacial phenomena between the GN and Cu control charge conduction in GN-Cu materials. In this work, we investigated the possibilities of conductivity enhancement in multi-layered GN-Cu composites both theoretically (classical, quantum, and atomistic models) and experimentally.

Additionally, our work elucidates …

Factors Likely To Affect The Uptake Of Genomic Approaches To Cancer Screening In Primary Care: A Scoping Review, Kaitlyn V Davis, Mie H Hallman, Melissa Dicarlo, Sophie M Wambua, Rachel L Jaffe, Allison W Welsh, Cameron Kerber, Hushan Yang, Christopher Chambers, Ronald E. Myers

Department of Family & Community Medicine Faculty Papers

Genomic tests are being developed for use in cancer screening. As most screening is offered in primary care settings, primary care provider and patient perceptions of such tests are likely to affect uptake. We conducted a scoping review to synthesize information on factors likely to affect patient and provider use of biospecimen collection and analysis for cancer screening, methods referred to as liquid biopsy or multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing when used to detect multiple cancers. We ultimately identified 7 articles for review and analyzed them for major themes. None reported on primary care provider perspectives. Six articles focused on …

Jurnal Kultivasi

Pinching and dormancy breaking chemicals (DBC) application are potentially used to regulate the growth of plant. This study aims to evaluate the growth response of ‘Crystal’ guava (Psidium guajava L.) seedling in response to pinching and DBC application. This experiment was carried out in the Integrated Field Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Lampung from March to June 2021, with a randomized completely block design (RCBD) with 2 factors (pinching and DBC) and repeated four times. The results showed that pinching could reduce the increase of height of guava seedling. The combination of pinching with DBC could significantly increase the number …

Investigating Applications Of Deep Learning For Diagnosis Of Post Traumatic Elbow Disease, Hugh James

McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations

Traumatic events such as dislocation, breaks, and arthritis of musculoskeletal joints can cause the development of post-traumatic joint contracture (PTJC). Clinically, noninvasive techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans are used to analyze the disease. Such procedures require a patient to sit sedentary for long periods of time and can be expensive as well. Additionally, years of practice and experience are required for clinicians to accurately recognize the diseased anterior capsule region and make an accurate diagnosis. Manual tracing of the anterior capsule is done to help with diagnosis but is subjective and timely. As a result, there is …

Applying Hls To Fpga Data Preprocessing In The Advanced Particle-Astrophysics Telescope, Meagan Konst

McKelvey School of Engineering Graduate Student Theses & Dissertations

The Advanced Particle-astrophysics Telescope (APT) and its preliminary iteration the Antarctic Demonstrator for APT (ADAPT) are highly collaborative projects that seek to capture gamma-ray emissions. Along with dark matter and ultra-heavy cosmic ray nuclei measurements, APT will provide sub-degree localization and polarization measurements for gamma-ray transients. This will allow for devices on Earth to point to the direction from which the gamma-ray transients originated in order to collect additional data. The data collection process is as follows. A scintillation occurs and is detected by the wavelength-shifting fibers. This signal is then read by an ASIC and stored in an ADC …

Saving Indian Consumers From Unfair Contract Terms – The Impact Of Section 2(46), Consumer Protection Act, 2019 On The Home Buyers Industry, Shivkrit Rai

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

On July 24, 2020, the Central Government notified the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, thereby replacing the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. One of the most significant changes brought about in the new Act is the introduction of a provision dealing with the unfair contract. This article traces how judicial and quasi-judicial forums dealt with unfair clauses in contracts prior to the implementation of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. This is done by discussing different nuances from Competition Commission, and Consumer Commission along with narratives from United Kingdom’s Consumer Rights Act, 2015. The author argues that an explicit provision empowering the Consumer …

Digital marketing is more than just thebusiness of disseminating product information for online sales. It involves content building for marketing, designing of the website, information about the product, customer support tools, chat rooms, online payment system etc. Marketing is a commercial …

A Ray Of Hope For Consumers In Nigeria As Exemption Clauses Slide Towards Extinction, Felicia Nwanne Monye

International Journal on Consumer Law and Practice

Exemption clauses have become a common feature in contracts of all forms, including contracts for the sale of goods and services, electronic commerce and consumer contracts. The effect is more severe in business-to-consumer contracts as consumers are not in a position to negotiate the terms of contracts and usually transact on the standard forms of suppliers. To ensure that businesses do not abuse the weaker bargaining position of consumers, some countries have adopted some measures to curtail or prohibit the use of exemption clauses in consumer contracts. A prominent statutory enactment in Nigeria in this regard is the Federal Competition …
