The Effect Of Deliberate Practice Combined With High-Fidelity Simulation Scenarios On Psychomotor Skill Competency And Retention In Prelicensure Nursing Education: A Mixed Methods Pilot Study, Cynthia E. Johnson

Dissertations

Graduating students who are proficient in the representative skills of nursing are vital for providing safe, quality patient care. The purpose of this pilot mixed method study was to examine the combined effect of deliberate skill practice prior to high-fidelity simulation (HFS) sessions and skill practice during HFS scenarios of the urinary catheter insertion skill on psychomotor skill competency and retention in prelicensure nursing students. The study was based on Ericsson's framework of deliberate practice for skill acquisition and expert performance.

Integrity, Flexibility, And Balance: How Change Works In Psychotherapy, David Pincus

Psychology Faculty Books and Book Chapters

Psychotherapy may be the most tested form of health intervention and also one of the most mysterious. Clinical trials, and meta-analyses of these trials, have repeatedly demonstrated the effectiveness of psychotherapy, while also failing to uncover any clear-cut and consistent understanding of how psychotherapy works. This lack of understanding has driven the field to develop 500 supposedly distinct, yet equivalently effective “theories.” The field suffers from barriers to scientific discovery, barriers to therapist training, and barriers to people seeking help for their psychosocial problems. This chapter tackles the mystery of how therapy works by examining the shortcomings of modern medical …

Horticulture Research Articles

Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is a globally significant economic pest for which lure based trapping can be used to monitor established populations and for surveillance. Either female- or male-targeted traps can be used; however, recommendations on which to apply are inconsistent and many programs rely on male-targeted traps. Here, we compare the performance of male-targeted traps (Lynfield Trap with Trimedlure) and female-targeted traps (Biotrap Globe trap with the 3-component lure—TMA Plus) in apple orchards in south-west Western Australia over 2 years (September 2019 to September 2021). Male-targeted traps caught more Medflies overall than female-targeted traps, …

The least usedstrategy …

Legalized Sports Betting And Mental Health, Brad R. Humphreys, Jane Ruseski

Economics Faculty Working Papers Series

Since the Supreme Court declared the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 unconstitutional in 2018, 38 states and the District of Columbia legalized face to face and/or on-line betting on sports. A potential unintended consequence of legalized sports betting is an increased risk for mental health disorders and problem gambling. Using a staggered difference-in differences framework, we exploit variation in timing of adoption of legal sports betting across states to evaluate the impact of these laws on mental health outcomes. We combine data on when states passed laws to legalize gambling with data from the Behavioral Risk Factor …

The Source Of Luigi Sagrini's "Thême De Racio Calupo", Robert Coldwell

Soundboard Scholar

Luigi Sagrini's opus 4 on a "Thême de Racio Calupo" was dedicated to Luigi Legnani in 1825. No composer or composition with this title could be located. Since Legnani dedicated two of his editions to Sagrini around 1825 this points to a connection between the two artists. This letter details the discovery of the source of the theme.

The dynamics of cyclopentadiene (CP) following optical excitation at 243 nm was investigated by time-resolved pump-probe X-ray scattering using 16.2 keV X-rays at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). We present the first ultrafast structural evidence that the reaction leads directly to the formation of bicyclo[2.1.0]pentene (BP), a strained molecule with three- and four-membered rings. The bicyclic compound decays via a thermal backreaction to the vibrationally hot CP with a time constant of 21 ± 3 ps. A minor channel leads to ring-opened structures on a subpicosecond time scale.

Cultivating A Digital Environment To Support Primary Source Instruction, Lindsey Memory, Rebecca A. Wiederhold, Abby Beazer, Gregory K. Seppi

Faculty Publications

Primary source literacy continues to be a priority for academic institutions. A growing subtopic is digital primary sources and their unique role in pedagogy. Digital primary sources have the capacity to represent more diverse voices, and their digital nature provides greater accessibility to new and existing user populations who cannot always come to the reading room. Digital primary sources can better meet a variety of needs through ADA-compliant transcription, 24/7 access, portability, and extensibility. With that vision in mind, these projects and materials present their own challenges to archivists, librarians, and other instructors seeking to expand these items’ curricular use. …

A Smart Energy Monitoring System Using Esp32 Microcontroller, Ehab Bayoumi

Mechanical Engineering

Gaza’s electrical deficit has resulted in the rise of new energy suppliers that sell power from private generators at higher prices. Consumers have challenges because they cannot tell whether their energy originates from the utility or private generators, resulting in unexpectedly large bills owing to a lack of an electronic monitoring system. This study fills this gap by developing a low-cost IoT energy monitoring system that provides real-time information on energy use (hourly, daily, and monthly) to assist consumers in managing their usage and ex penditures. An ESP32 microcontroller is used in the system to gather data from energy meters, …
