Advances in Cancer Education and Quality Improvement

Objective: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) contain valuable information that can be leveraged by providers to perform timely interventions and improve quality of life and survival. However, the implementation of electronic PROs (ePROs) remains a challenge from technical and evaluation perspectives. Our objective was to construct a robust electronic health record (EHR)-integrated ePRO information infrastructure founded on RE-AIM (reach-effectiveness-adoption-implementation-maintenance) principles.

Materials and Methods: We used Epic Systems as our EHR platform to build the MD Anderson Symptom Index Head and Neck Module (MDASI-HN) for release to all patients undergoing evaluation and/or treatment in our HN Radiation Oncology clinics. RE-AIM metrics were …

Advances in Cancer Education and Quality Improvement

Introduction: The growing emphasis on patient-centered care, along with the rise of open-access publications and online platforms, has increased patient demand for education about their medical conditions. In this context, patient-friendly language summaries of fundamental cancer clinical trials may be valuable resources for patients to learn more about their disease and treatment options.

Methods: We surveyed patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to assess the availability and need for easy-to-understand resources related to treatment decision-making and side effect profiles. Patients were also provided an example patient-friendly language summary and asked for feedback.

Advances in Cancer Education and Quality Improvement

Burnout afflicts 35% to 44% of pediatric oncology physicians, nurses, and interprofessional staff and is related to excessive workloads and emotional exhaustion. Conversely, a healthy work environment is a protective factor for burnout among physicians and nurses. Meaningful recognition is a published standard necessary for creating a healthy work environment. This study aimed to reduce staff burnout through firgun, defined as a heartfelt way to express accomplishments of another person. Pediatric oncology staff completed a firgun educational module and logged acts of firgun during a 3-month study period.

The Role Of Inequality In Indonesia: Does Fiscal Decentralization Matter?, Nunung Zahrotul Hayat, Mahrus Lutfi Adi Kurniawan, Wing-Keung Wong

Jurnal Ekonomi dan Studi Pembangunan

This research explores the role of inequality because inequality has long-term effects on social and economic conditions and has an impact on the decentralization process. There are two models developed in which inequality is the regressor of regional income and inequality is the regressor. The panel seemingly unrelated regression is applied to produce consistent coefficient parameters. The results of research on model 1 show that inequality has a negative effect on regional income and on model 2 shows that fiscal decentralization with government spending has a positive effect on inequality and special allocation funds have a negative effect on inequality. …

Combined Power, Temperature, And Humidity Cycle Testing For Battery Reliability Assessment, Sandhya Chandrashekhar

Defensive Publications Series

Some battery reliability assessments may utilize separate, isolated tests for thermal, electrical, and environmental stress. These approaches may not fully capture complex failure modes that can arise from combined effects in certain operating conditions. A methodology is described for power temperature humidity cycling (PTHC) testing. The method can involve simultaneously subjecting a battery (which may be part of a device such as a smartphone, smart watch, or other wearable) to continuous and potentially asynchronous cycles of power (e.g., charge/discharge), temperature (for example, from -20°C to 60°C), and relative humidity (for example, from 10% to 90%). By combining these stressors, which …

Smart Device Hvac Health Evaluation With Large-Language Model Acoustic Signature Analysis, D Shin

Defensive Publications Series

This publication describes systems and techniques for evaluating the operational status or “health” of a heating-ventilation-air-conditioning (HVAC) system by analyzing sound generated by the HVAC system. The sound may be monitored by a microphone incorporated in a smart thermostat or other smart home device and automatically evaluated using an HVAC Large Language-Type Model (HVAC-LLM) including acoustic signatures of properly and/or improperly operating HVAC systems. For example, a system includes one or more microphones integrated in a smart thermostat and/or one or more other smart home devices that act as passive sensors to capture sound made by the HVAC system.

Education, Health & Behavior Studies Faculty Publications

In order to conduct effective research in open education, one needs skills in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. To address this need, a DEIA expert provided consultation to the members and mentor of a fellowship for open education researchers. After completing the fellowship, the researchers were asked to complete a survey about DEIA research skill development during the fellowship and their perceived challenges in DEIA research. Fellows (N = 42) across cohorts indicated growth in DEIA research skills during the fellowship. Notably, fellows who received DEIA consultation described more sophisticated development of DEIA research skills than fellows without the consultation. …

State Mifepristone Regulation Following Genbiopro V Raynes, Greer Donley, Lewis Grossman, Patricia J. Zettler

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

After the US Supreme Court eliminated the federal constitutional right to abortion in 2022, several high-profile legal fights have centered on US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) oversight of mifepristone. Mifepristone (200 mg) is approved, in a regimen with misoprostol, for the medical termination of intrauterine pregnancy through 70 days' gestation. Legal battles over Mifepristone have included a lawsuit challenging the FDA’s initial approval of the drug and the sufficiency of FDA-required restrictions on the drug, as well as lawsuits arguing, to the contrary, that FDA-required restrictions are unnecessary and must be eliminated.

A Review Of Pavement Condition Evaluation Index Systems In China And Abroad, Chen Leilei, Yang-Li Wenyun, Li Wei, Muhammad Thlha, Qian Zhendong

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

With the increasingly complex operating conditions of roads, it has become a consensus among countries to improve the accuracy and systematicness of maintenance decisions. Since the pavement condition evaluation index system is the core tool supporting the judgment of schemes, its construction method and applicable ability directly affect the maintenance efficiency and resource allocation level. Based on the construction logic of the index model, the scoring mechanism of grade division, and the conditions of road grade adaptation, the characteristics of the evaluation index systems in typical countries in China and abroad were compared and sorted out. The internal causes affecting …
