Commercial Truck Drivers' Perceptions About The Influences Of Safety Regulations On Retention, Akeisha Arnett

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The persistent shortage of commercial truck drivers remains a prominent concern in the industry. There is a potential for the shortage to exacerbate, possibly reaching an estimated 50,000 drivers, due to the need for more adequately qualified candidates. The purpose of this qualitative study was to improve the understanding of how commercial truck drivers who have worked in the industry for at least 1 year perceived the relevance of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DoT) safety regulation 49 CFR Part 395 on the number of allowed active driving hours potentially impacts their retention decisions. The research questions focused on the …

Home And Community-Based Case Manager Job Satisfaction During The Covid-19 Public Health Emergency, Timothy Frederick Conroy

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

There is limited information on the impact on Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) case managers’ job satisfaction as COVID-19 policies altered the way their jobs were performed. Many HCBS case managers in the United States experience high levels of turnover and burnout, resulting in difficulty maintaining appropriate service levels. Public health emergency (PHE) policies used to limit exposure of high-risk community-based individuals to COVID-19 resulted in various adjustments to traditional job responsibilities. The purpose of this research was to qualitatively study the impact of HCBS policy changes on the job satisfaction of HCBS case managers prior to and throughout the …

Evidence-Based Practice, Drug Policy, And The Promotion Of Harm Reduction In Nursing And Society, Jonathan D. Irwin

Leadership Connection

Session presented on Monday, September 19, 2016:

Along with significant morbidity and mortality, the drug epidemic and drug war have brought widespread incarceration, hospitalization, and numerous other individual, family, and social harms. Drug overdose kills more Americans than gun violence, car crashes, or suicide, and injection drug use puts users and the public at risk for HIV, viral hepatitis, and other infections (CDC, 2014). In the researchers' mid-size population home state, over 15,230 were hospitalized at a cost of $16-29 thousand each (Jenkins & Toevs, 2014). With the drug epidemic worsening, the United States and other countries are in the …

Depression Screening To Improve Early Detection, Referral, And Treatment Of Depression In Patients With Diabetes, Karina Avechuco

Group: Northern Arizona University School of Nursing, DNP Doctoral Papers

Comorbid depression is common among adults with diabetes and is associated with negative impacts on quality of life, health outcomes, and mortality rates. As of 2015, it was estimated that 415 million people were living with diabetes in the United States, and of those affected, 20 to 25 percent have some degree of depression. Evidence-based guidelines recommend routine depression screening. This appears to decrease negative health outcomes and may be a cost-effective way to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes. Despite recommendations, depression screening in patients with diabetes is not consistent. This is true for patients at the study clinic …

Impacting Practice Through Change: Implementing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Into A Nebraska School’S Curriculum, Samantha Renter

Group: Nebraska Methodist College

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a life-saving technique that serves importance in many emergencies, in which someone’s breathing, or heartbeat has stopped. Despite strong evidence proving that basic life support (including cardiopulmonary resuscitation) improves survival rates after cardiac events, current studies show that there is a significant lack of knowledge regarding typical signs and risk factors associated with serious medical conditions (Enizi et al., 2016). Alarmingly, only a small percentage of the United States (U.S.) population knows how to administer CPR; indicating that the widespread implementation of CPR training will benefit high school students while impacting the broader U.S. public. In the …

A total of eight full-text review articles were included from multiple databases. All eight of the review articles were analyzed for evidence related to the target receptors of CBD. Analysis of the review articles focused on potential receptors and implications of CBD as it relates to anesthesia and analgesia. Two primary receptors were discovered, 5-HT1A and TRPV1. In total, 14 potential receptors of CBD have been identified resulting in multiple …

Current Participation And Perceived Value Of Continuing Education, Susan Mcreynolds

Group: Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing and Health Sciences

The purpose of this study was to survey nurses in a rural Mid-Western city to explore what continuing education topics they find valuable; their beliefs about the importance of CE to their professional practice; where they currently obtain CE from; perceived barriers to CE; and preferred format for CE programs. Data obtained from this study can be used to plan CE programs that will appeal to a large spectrum of nurses based upon identified preferences. CE programs designed with these preferences in mind will facilitate an optimal environment for professional development, continued competence, and life-long learning.

The Role Of Fast Tracks On Length Of Stay In Emergency Departments, Brandon Watson, Konrad Borkowski, Jonathan Conca-Petit

General Submissions: Clinical Settings Materials

Overcrowding in emergency departments (EDs) is a national crisis affecting hospitals. It has led to an association with poor patient outcomes and is a threat to public safety. Fast tracks (FTs) in the ED are one strategy that has been implemented to alleviate overcrowding while still ensuring quality of care. To evaluate if FTs are effective, length of stay (LOS) was investigated relative to the implementation of FTs across a variety of hospitals. Nurses are an integral part of the triage, assessment, and care that are central to the system of FTs. This review provides an in-depth look at the …

Japan's Response To The Trade Conflict Between The United States And China, Rikako Watai

Washington International Law Journal

Abstract: Decoupling refers to the strategy of separating and disconnecting economies and markets between different nations. However, in the contest of the ongoing trade conflict between the United States and China, decoupling primarily refers to determining economic dependence on a specific nation as a national security risk, thereby reinforcing vulnerabilities in one’s supply chain. Japan views the United States as its primary partner in national security policy and China as a significant market because of its geographic proximity. As a result, ensuring economic security became a pressing concern for Japan.

Japan refers to the United States’ idea of economic …

Drones Neutralization, Drone Defense Solutions, Vassil Guliashki, Galia Marinova

UBT International Conference

This paper is devoted to the drone attacks, factors leading to their success, and the measures, strategies and technologies, which could be used, possibly in a combination to achieve an effective defense against these attacks. Usually, the drones attack their objective in a swarm. Hence, it is insufficient to prepare a defense against a single-drone attack. There are various ways and devices developed, to stop a droneattack, but unfortunately a 100 percent anti-drone protection cannot be guaranteed. The paper considers the modern counter-drone technology (with the popular name “Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems”, known also as C-UAS). It includes different approaches as …

How A.I. Will Change The Entire Structure Of Civilisation: The Need For A New Design Of Education, Roy J. Andersen

UBT International Conference

The rapid rise of A.I. is expected to replace up to 90% of jobs by the end of the century, leading to widespread unemployment and profound social challenges. This paper explores the societal impacts of A.I.-driven unemployment, including increased crime, depression, and diminished personal freedoms due to heightened surveillance. It argues for a shift in education, moving away from job-oriented curricula toward a focus on behavioral development, ethics, and social responsibility, to prepare future generations for life in an A.I.-dominated world.

The Militarization Of Policing In The United States, Grace Simpson

The Mid-Southern Journal of Criminal Justice

The increased use of police violence and the threat thereof has become a widely publicized issue. Particularly, the use of violence against minorities, especially Black individuals, is becoming more widely criticized by the public, scholars, and activists. This identification of policing violence relates to the militarization of policing, wherein the adoption of military equipment and tactics have contributed to increased violent targeting of minority communities. Policing agencies have increasingly turned these military weapons against civilians to maintain social control. Namely, militarism in policing has historical roots in violent racialized policing targeting Black communities. The current analysis critically examines the development …

The Potential Impact Of Charter Section 28 On Quebec's Controversial Secularism Law And The Pursuit Of Gender-Equality In Canadian Courts, Nywani Albert

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

The Western liberal democratic order, anchored in respect for individual rights and constitutional norms, faces a critical challenge as Quebec follows the pattern of several European nations in enacting laws restricting religious attire. While the Quebec Law 21, “An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State,” is ostensibly neutral, it particularly restricts Muslim women's rights. This paper explores an ongoing, novel legal strategy challenging Quebec's secularism law, focusing on Section 28 of Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms. While Section 28 mandates gender equality in Charter implementation, its potential remains largely unexplored in the decades since Charter enactment. Drawing …
