Holistic Review In Health Professions Education Program Admissions: A Concept Analysis, Andrea N. Bowens

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: Health professions education programs often use holistic reviews to promote a more diverse student body, leading to a more diverse healthcare workforce. Although many organizations and educational institutions advocate for holistic reviews of applicants, there are inconsistencies in the literature as to what this practice entails. Thus, the purpose of this concept analysis was to identify the defining attributes of holistic reviews and provide an operational definition. Methods: Walker and Avant’s description of a concept analysis served as a guide for this review. This systematic process included an analysis of current literature, legal proceedings, and organizational documents; identification of …

Interprofessional Readiness Of Athletic Trainers And Collaborating Sports Medicine Health Professionals, Michael J. Nolan, Jason S. Jordan, Kelly L. Potteiger, Anthony P. Breitbach

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Background: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is pivotal in modern healthcare, emphasizing collaboration among diverse health professionals for comprehensive patient care. While IPC has been extensively studied, a notable gap exists in understanding the readiness of athletic trainers (ATs) for IPC within hospital system settings. Purpose: This study seeks to address this gap by comparing the IPC readiness of ATs to colleagues from the same setting. Methods: The University of The West of England Interprofessional Questionnaire (UWE-IP) was administered to ATs and colleagues in hospital systems. This validated questionnaire measures aspects of IPC readiness across four constructs: 1.) communication and teamwork, 2.) …

Effect Of Segmental Expansion Exercises On Pulmonary Function In Patients With Upper Abdominal Surgery- A Randomized Controlled Trial, Pranali R. Gaikwad, Manish P. Shukla

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

This study aimed to assess the influence of segmental expansion exercises on pulmonary function among individuals recovering from upper abdominal surgery. Method: The study involved 88 patients who underwent elective upper abdominal surgery, randomized into two groups. Over a five-day postoperative period, Group A received standard physiotherapy, including diaphragmatic exercises, splinted huffing/coughing, and ambulation. In contrast, Group B received routine physiotherapy along with segmental expansion exercises. The study evaluated pulmonary function through measurements of forced vital capacity, Forced Expiratory Volume …

Clinical Instructor And Student Reports Of Affective Behavior Issues During A Clinical Experience, Bruce N. Elliott, Jon J. Rizzo

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice

Purpose: Clinical Instructors (CIs) have optimal opportunity to support non-cognitive attributes while observing and assessing student interactions with staff and patients because of the time spent with their students. There is a dearth of literature related to how items in the professional practice section of the Clinical Performance Instrument (CPI) are truly addressed during a clinical affiliation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to record the occasions when lapses occur with respect to a student’s accountability, communication, or professional behavior, as well as assessing student and CI interpretations of how these instances were addressed, and subsequently corrected within …

A Phenomenological Study Of Islandness As A Global Sense Of Place: Focusing On The Animated Film Moana, Taehee Kim

Kritika Kultura

This article explores the question of whether islandness exists, and if so, how it can be defined. Using phenomenological methods, it examines a cultural text relevant to this question: the animated film Moana, which tells a story set on a small island. Following phenomenological procedures, any unexamined preconceptions about islandness are methodologically excluded through the suspension of judgment (epoché); islandness is defined as the “sense of place of the island” through a return to intersubjective intentionality (phenomenological reduction); the “essence” of this sense of place of the island is identified through imaginative variation (eidetic reduction). This discourse will shed light …

Rituals And Magic On The Transition Of Sacredness In Folk Religion In Central Vietnam, Dang Huu Nguyen

Kritika Kultura

This article examines the dynamics of sacredness in Central Vietnamese folk religion. It utilizes a qualitative approach, specifically ethnographic fieldwork and in-depth interviews in the community of Danang estuary in Central Vietnam, to study rituals and magic, specifically those involved in purifying, de-sanctifying, and re-sanctifying religious artifacts. The findings of this study demonstrate that the concept of sacredness is not fixed; rather, it continuously fluctuates between states of sanctification and de-sanctification. Additionally, the dynamics of the sacred is subject to change and is attributed with different values when transferred across cultural contexts. Based on these observations, this article emphasizes the …

The Importance Of Bearing Witness In Edwin Cameron’S Witness To Aids (2005), Oscar Ortega Montero

Kritika Kultura

Edwin Cameron’s memoir Witness to AIDS (2005) was the first HIV/AIDS memoir published in South Africa in the midst of the worst years of the epidemic. The narrative discloses essential facts about his experience living with the virus. In this paper, I argue that Edwin Cameron’s intellectually savvy and powerful testimony opened up a widespread national debate on citizen participation in policy-decision making and public accountability in South Africa. My analysis revolves on the interplay between whiteness, privilege, and access to life-saving drugs in the on-going construction of democratic and transparent post-Apartheid South Africa. Edwin Cameron’s position of privilege as …

Give My Heart Ease: Filiality And Responsibility In Clarissa In Light Of Levinasian And Confucian Ethics, Ying Xiong

Kritika Kultura

Much has been said about the elements of plot, allegorical allusions, and the Christian design underlying character tendencies in Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa. That said, few scholars notice the intricate mechanism of filiality and responsibility that constantly functions in Clarissa’s ethical quest. Arguably, there are two categories of filiality in Clarissa, one being Levinasian, which always responds to the absolute singularity of the Other, and the other being Confucian, which demands responsibility to a totality. Judging from her struggle, one surmises that two ethical principles colliding within Clarissa’s mind as she responds to her relations mainly arise from her Levinasian sense …

Discrete Time Series Forecasting Of Hive Weight, In-Hive Temperature, And Hive Entrance Traffic In Non-Invasive Monitoring Of Managed Honey Bee Colonies: Part I, Vladimir A. Kulyukin, Daniel Coster, Aleksey V. Kulyukin, William Meikle, Milagra Weiss

Computer Science Faculty and Staff Publications

From June to October, 2022, we recorded the weight, the internal temperature, and the hive entrance video traffic of ten managed honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies at a research apiary of the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center in Tucson, AZ, USA. The weight and temperature were recorded every five minutes around the clock. The 30 s videos were recorded every five minutes daily from 7:00 to 20:55. We curated the collected data into a dataset of 758,703 records (208,760–weight; 322,570–temperature; 155,373–video). A principal objective of Part I of our investigation was to use the curated dataset to investigate …

Using Bloom's Taxonomy To Visualize Antiracist Teaching Strategies., Lucian Rothe, Cara K. Snyder

Faculty and Staff Scholarship

2020 marked a surge in the uprisings for racial and social justice in the United States and around the globe. Universities met the moment with aspirations to become antiracist institutions. However, there has often been a disconnect between universities’ antiracist goals and support for educators in their day-to-day instruction. Moreover, many educators – primarily those racialized as White, who have seldom had to consider their racial identity in predominantly White environments – are unfamiliar with antiracist teaching strategies. This essay is for university instructors who are new to antiracist pedagogy but want to use its principles to transform their teaching. …

The major female ovarian hormone, 17β-estradiol (E2), can alter neuronal excitability within milliseconds to regulate a variety of physiological processes. Estrogen receptor-α (ERα), classically known as a nuclear receptor, exists as a membrane-bound receptor to mediate this rapid action of E2, but the ionic mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we show that a membrane channel protein, chloride intracellular channel protein-1 (Clic1), can physically interact with ERα with a preference to the membrane-bound ERα. Clic1-mediated currents can be enhanced by E2 and reduced by its depletion. In addition, Clic1 currents are required to mediate the E2-induced rapid excitations in multiple brain ERα …

Proceedings Of The 2022 “Lifestyle Intervention For Epilepsy (Life)” Symposium Hosted By Cleveland Clinic, Martha Sajatovic

Faculty Scholarship

Lifestyle interventions are strategies used to self-manage medical conditions, such as epilepsy, and often complement traditional pharmacologic and surgical therapies. The need for integrating evidence-based lifestyle interventions into mainstream medicine for the treatment of epilepsy is evident given that despite the availability of a multitude of treatments with medications and surgical techniques, a significant proportion of patients have refractory seizures, and even those who are seizure-free report significant adverse effects with current treatments. Although the evidence base for complementary medicine is less robust than it is for traditional forms of medicine, the evidence to date suggests that several forms of …

All Decisions

In this post-eviction proceeding, the court granted the tenant's motion to vacate a default judgment of possession due to improper service. The landlord's process server served papers to a 13-year-old, which was deemed inadequate under CPLR 308, as proper service requires delivery to a person of suitable age and discretion, defined as at least 16 years old. The court found the service was rushed and did not meet the statutory requirements, thus restoring the tenant to possession.
