Social Interactions Between People Living With Dementia And Staff In Health And Social Care Settings: A Scoping Review, Stephanie Janka-Spurlock, Georgia Page, Gary Hodge, Helen Lloyd, Susie Pearce Sep 2026

Social Interactions Between People Living With Dementia And Staff In Health And Social Care Settings: A Scoping Review, Stephanie Janka-Spurlock, Georgia Page, Gary Hodge, Helen Lloyd, Susie Pearce

School of Nursing and Midwifery

Dementia is an umbrella term for progressive conditions affecting memory, thinking, communication and other cognitive functions. These changes can make social interaction challenging, particularly in unfamiliar or overstimulating environments. Although social interactions between staff and people living with dementia are recognised as an aspect of care, existing literature across health and social care settings largely focuses on general care needs and experiences rather than social interaction specifically. Consequently, there is limited understanding of the types of social interactions that occur and the contextual factors influencing them. This scoping review aims to address this gap by mapping existing research on social …

School of Psychology

Acquired brain injury (ABI) is the leading cause of adulthood injury-related death and disability worldwide. Despite ABI’s prevalence, little is known about the extent to which social workers are prepared for brain injury working and specifically pre-qualifying brain injury curricula. This study employed a nine-item survey regarding brain injury social work knowledge. The survey asked about curricula inclusion within social work pre-qualification via multiple education providers to understand the extent to which brain injury training is incorporated within UK courses. This included a series of open-ended questions. Data from 36 survey respondents identified that 1) there was an acknowledged gap …

Dodenhoff, Neha Gupta, Lauren Craig, Marjorie L. Pate, Sarah D. Petrusnek, Nianlan Yang, Kimberly Smith, Allison Wooley, Yesie Yoon, Tapan Mehta, Leslie W. Hayes

Journal of Pediatric Intensive Care

Introduction: Delirium screening and identification in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) can be a diagnostic challenge. Primarily, the burden of screening falls on the bedside nurses, who are juggling countless tasks throughout their shift. The nursing staff was concerned that the existing screen, Cornell Assessment for Pediatric Delirium (CAPD), detracted from workflow. The Pediatric Delirium Scale (PEDS) was developed to accurately identify delirium in children of all developmental abilities and improve nursing workflow. This is a single-center, double-blinded, preliminary exploratory validation study that assesses the feasibility and accessibility of PEDS. This study was performed in a busy 24-bed quaternary …


Automated Code Change Verification Via Differential Trace Analysis, Shu-Wei Cheng, Fei Wang, Yao-Sheng Tsai, Akhila Immadisetty, Zening Li Sep 2026

Automated Code Change Verification Via Differential Trace Analysis, Shu-Wei Cheng, Fei Wang, Yao-Sheng Tsai, Akhila Immadisetty, Zening Li

Defensive Publications Series

A system for automated code verification can address challenges associated with verifying high-velocity code changes, where manual review may be slow and broad automated testing might lack specificity. The system can utilize a multi-agent approach for differential trace analysis. A synthesizer agent can, for example, analyze a specific code change to generate a targeted test plan. This plan may be executed in parallel on a control version of a software component without the change and an experiment version that includes it. During execution, observation agents can capture detailed execution traces and performance metrics from both runs. The system may first …

The Influence Of Entrepreneurial Marketing On Sustainable Competitive Advantage In Tanzanian Smes: A Lower-Order Dimensional Analysis, Omari Khalifa Mbura Sep 2026

The Influence Of Entrepreneurial Marketing On Sustainable Competitive Advantage In Tanzanian Smes: A Lower-Order Dimensional Analysis, Omari Khalifa Mbura

Business Management Review

Although entrepreneurial marketing is increasingly recognised as multidimensional, limited understanding remains of whether its individual behaviours exhibit equivalent relationships with competitive advantage, particularly when behaviours associated with the same broad dynamic-capability process are considered separately. This study examines the associations between five lower-order dimensions of entrepreneurial marketing (EM)—proactiveness, innovativeness, resource leveraging, customer intensity and value creation—and sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) among food-processing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Guided by Dynamic Capability Theory (DCT), cross-sectional survey data from 255 SMEs were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) in the SEMinR package in R. …

Hydration-Tunable Ionic Liquid-In-Oil Microemulsions For Increased Transdermal Delivery Of High-Molecular-Weight Proteins, Roy Jabidash, Kiyohiro Toyofuku, Rie Wakabayashi, Yoshirou Kawaguchi, Noriho Jeffrey Kamiya, Muhammad Moniruzzaman, Masahiro Goto

Publications and Research

Transdermal delivery of high-molecular-weight proteins is challenging because of their large molecular size and hydrophilicity, and the barrier properties of the stratum corneum. We report a hydrated ionic liquid-in-oil (HIL/O) microemulsion for transdermal delivery of high-molecular-weight proteins. A biocompatible ionic liquid (IL) composed of cholinium cation and propionate anion, optimized at 45 wt% hydration, was developed as a protein-compatible solubilization medium that dissolved ovalbumin (molecular mass ∼ 45 kDa) and bovine serum albumin (molecular mass ∼ 66 kDa), whereas lower hydration levels were insufficient for effective protein dissolution. Following solubilization, circular dichroism spectroscopy showed recovery of the native-like secondary structures …

A Study On Police Budgets And Impact On Public Safety, Vera Thompson Sep 2026

A Study On Police Budgets And Impact On Public Safety, Vera Thompson

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Law enforcement agencies face ongoing organizational and resource challenges, yet there is limited research on how changes in police funding relate to crime rates and violent crime. There has been increased public awareness concerning police related encounters with civilians, and this has intensified debates about reducing law enforcement budgets. Current literature indicates that although police funding, staffing, and community trust are closely associated with public safety outcomes, empirical evidence on the relationship between police budget reductions and changes in violent crime and overall crime rates remains limited and insufficient to support definitive policy conclusions. The purpose of this quantitative study …
