Leveraging A Standardized Toileting Improvement Plan (Tip) Sheet To Reduce Patient Falls And Injuries On General Medicine And Renal Units, Nakihyha Dumas, Chantel Mayton

Nursing

Purpose Patient falls and toileting‑related falls with injury remain persistent challenges across acute care settings. The General Medicine and Renal units identified deficits in communication between nurses and nursing assistants regarding key fall‑related safety factors including, fall risk, toileting frequency, ambulatory status, and required assistance method. Both units implemented a standardized Toileting Improvement Plan (TIP) sheet to improve proactive communication and toileting, increase situational awareness, and reduce patient harm. This project evaluated the impact of the TIP sheet on fall outcomes, proactive patient toileting, and safety‑related communication behaviors.

Description Beginning August 2025, both units conducted baseline assessments revealing gaps in …

Virtual Reality Simulation Prebrief: Promoting Psychological Safety And Clinical Reasoning, Holldrid Odreman, Ryan Mcnally, Christian Baltus

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

A review of the simulation literature highlights the need to further understand the relationship between psychological safety and students’ clinical performance. Guided by Situated Learning Theory, this study aimed to determine to what extent there were differences in the experience of psychological safety and the performance of clinical judgement between three different pre-briefing techniques. Situated learning theory purports that learning is experienced within an individual's environment which is supported by the individual's active participation and shared with others. Therefore, as the collaboration and interaction between learner and educator during a pre-briefing activity increase, the level of support for learning and …

Hybrid Deep-Machine Learning For Butterfly Species Image Classification, Maha A. Rajab, Wisal Hashim Abdulsalam, Firas A. Abdullatif, Tole Sutikno

Baghdad Science Journal

Classifying butterfly species is crucial in biodiversity studies and environmental monitoring. However, manual classification is often a laborious process that requires specialized expertise and is prone to error, especially when species have similar visual characteristics. To address these drawbacks, this paper presents a hybrid approach that combines machine learning with deep learning for feature extraction. To enhance the visibility of important features, preprocessing techniques such as background removal and binarization are applied to butterfly images. Feature extraction was performed using the SqueezeNet convolutional neural network, pretrained on the ImageNet dataset. By discarding the final classification layer, the network produced discriminative …

Deepfinsec: Advancing Online Financial Fraud Detection Via Structural Similarity-Based Graph Embedding, Diksha Sharma, Robin Prakash Mathur, Manmohan Sharma

Baghdad Science Journal

The frequent use of digital technology has significantly increased the use of online transactions. Most financial activities are conducted electronically. Financial fraud involves deceiving individuals or businesses for monetary gain. The proposed graph node embedding technique, FA-Struc2vec, is applied to the financial transaction network to extract graph node features based on their structural similarity and generate node embeddings. The node embeddings serve as input to DeepFinSec, which classifies transactions into desired classes. DeepFinSec is a proposed DL-based model that is a hybrid of CNN and LSTM. CNN processes transaction data and extracts local and high-level abstract features while LSTM captures …

Epistemic Resilience As A Media Literacy Goal: Moving Beyond Detection In The Age Of Generative Ai, Author Information Removed

JMLE Submissions Open for Review

Generative AI, encompassing large language models, image generators, and voice synthesis tools, has transformed the information landscape in ways that extend well beyond the production of fabricated content. By undermining the evidentiary signals through which individuals and communities have historically calibrated epistemic trust, it poses a structural challenge to existing media literacy frameworks. These frameworks, built around a “detect-and-debunk” paradigm, equip learners to identify false content through source verification, fact-checking, and evidence evaluation. These skills remain valuable but rest on assumptions that generative AI has rendered progressively less tenable. This article proposes “epistemic resilience” as a complementary goal: the cultivated …

Online Humiliation And Audience Responsibility In Adolescent Media Literacy Education, Author Information Removed

JMLE Submissions Open for Review

Online humiliation raises an educational problem that extends beyond identifying harmful messages: audience participation can make another person's embarrassment socially rewarding. This essay develops an argument for teaching responsibility for reactions and redistribution. Five student quotations reported in a Ghanaian doctoral manuscript illustrate tensions between recognition, joking, unwanted exposure and silent disagreement. They inform a conceptual discussion rather than a new analysis of focus-group transcripts. Drawing on scholarship on adolescent peer relations, bystander behaviour and media literacy, the essay distinguishes interpreting a message from judging what one's participation does to others. It proposes a classroom sequence using fictional exchanges to …

Adolescent Vulnerability To Disinformation, Polarisation, Filter Bubbles And Echo Chambers: A Systematic Review With Implications For Media Literacy Education, Author Information Removed

JMLE Submissions Open for Review

Disinformation, polarisation, filter bubbles and echo chambers pose growing risks to adolescents, as they are a group that consumes large amounts of information via social media. This paper presents a systematic review, following the PRISMA method, of the available empirical evidence on these risks among adolescents. Twelve empirical studies, published between 2019 and 2025, and collected from Web of Science and Scopus, were analysed. The results evidence that disinformation is the best-documented risk, whilst polarisation receives only marginal coverage and there is no direct empirical evidence regarding filter bubbles and echo chambers. Adolescents’ vulnerability is not uniform: it depends on …

Multi-Solution Ternary Grover’S Algorithm For Logic-Based Quantum Machine Learning With Pseudo-Kronecker Reed–Muller Form Minimization, Sophia Lee, Ali Al-Bayaty, Marek Perkowski

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Publications and Presentations

Optimization problems in machine-learning (ML) applications can be computationally challenging for classical methods, particularly when they involve large, unstructured search spaces. Quantum computing offers a promising approach to combinatorial optimization by utilizing quantum superposition and amplitude amplification. This paper presents a new methodology using logic-based quantum machine learning (QML) as a complete framework for employing a multi-solution ternary Grover’s algorithm to minimize incomplete binary functions represented by Pseudo-Kronecker Reed–Muller (PKRO) expansions, consistent with Occam’s razor principle. Unlike previous quantum approaches based on Kronecker Reed–Muller (KRO) or fixed-polarity Reed–Muller (FPRM) representations, our work introduces the first Grover-based optimization framework for PKRO …
