2020-Current year OA Pubs

Axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) is an autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy approved for relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). Despite extensive data supporting its use, outcomes stratified by race and ethnicity groups are limited. Here, we report clinical outcomes with axi-cel in patients with R/R LBCL by race and ethnicity in both real-world and clinical trial settings. In the real-world setting, 1290 patients who received axi-cel between 2017 and 2020 were identified from the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research database; 106 and 169 patients were included from the ZUMA-1 and ZUMA-7 trials, respectively.

Nurse Productivity And Related Quality Outcomes Measurements In Behavioral Health, Leslie M. Carlos

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

In outpatient mental health treatment settings, providers make up the bulk of billing revenue; however, at the inpatient and residential levels, treatment is rooted in 24-hour nursing care. The measurement of nursing’s contribution to patient care has yet to be established, and with the move towards value-based care payment models, private payors are requiring outcome measures for mental health treatment reimbursement related to nursing processes. The purpose of this review was to examine measurement systems that gauge productivity and the consequential quality outcomes associated with the functions of behavioral health nurses. The Donabedian theory was applied to this review because …

Middle School Teachers’ Perceptions Of Implementation Of School Discipline Practices For African American Girls, Jasmine Marie Gladney

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Middle school African American girls have yet to be studied comprehensively concerning school discipline practices related to their behavior. It has been assumed that teachers are not doing their jobs and are mistreating African American girls by singling them out; however, teachers’ voices and perceptions of school discipline practices in the classroom have not been examined extensively to understand this issue. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to examine middle school teachers’ perceptions of implementing school discipline practices related to African American girls in their classrooms, schools, and districts. The conceptual framework was based on Gregory et al.’s …

Employee Retention Strategies Of The U.S. Power Industry, Michael Robert Schulz

Ai-Powered Personalized Output Settings(Eco-Mode) Suggestions To Save Customers Cpp(Cost Per Page), Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

Typically, the yields shown when you purchase toner are based on standard charts, so when you actually print a document, you might experience less yield than shown. You'll also use the toner eco mode provided by the manufacturer to increase yield. Although the savings for eco mode is shown, the savings shown may vary depending on the documents you are using, as the various algorithms for eco mode are based on the actual content of the documents you are using.

Correlation Of Extended Berkeley Packet Filter Data, Network Flow, And Application Data To Achieve Deeper Insights, Tim Szigeti, Dave Zacks, Ted Hulick

Defensive Publications Series

Proposed herein are techniques to correlate together data derived from extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) visibility on hosts, combined with network data, such as that derived from monitored network traffic, and end host data, such as that derived from network visibility tools or other similar network monitoring tools/sources, in order to drive deeper visibility into traffic flows across network, and potential policy outcomes in mid-span network devices based on these correlations and the insights they provide.

Multi-Tenant Least Material Carbon Path Selection, Chih-Tsung Huang, Michael King, Ajay Ranjith Vempati, Wei-Jen Huang

Defensive Publications Series

Sustainability has become a very important topic, particularly in the area of networks/network products. In particular, significant industry investments are being made to collect full material disclosure (e.g., a full material breakdown of a product, system, etc.) and companies are developing innovations to monetize and incentivize greener products. This proposal provides techniques through which a least Material Carbon Footprint (MCF) path can be determined for a network based on various material disclosure information that can be gathered/determined for one or more products of the network.

Khi Ăn, Nhai Kỹ (When Eating, Chew Carefully): Poetry Collection, Ngoc My T. Tran

Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement

In this poetry collection, I used my own experiences as a Vietnamese-American to present a realistic image of life in America as a minority. With the use of translanguaging and presentation of social norms in both Vietnamese and American cultures, my hope is to promote awareness of issues such as racism, colorism, body shaming, and language insecurity among Asian communities so that these problems can be healthily addressed. Khi ăn, nhai kỹ (When eating, chew carefully) is a Vietnamese proverb and is similar to the saying "think before you speak," by naming the collection this, it serves as an underlying …

Establishing An Antiracist Foundation In School Counselor Preparation: A Self Study, Caroline Lopez-Perry, Jacob Olsen, Fedelia Suleiman, Julaina Juarez

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling

This article will discuss the findings from a collaborative self-study involving two school counseling faculty, one graduate student, and an alumna of the school counseling program who is now a first-year school counselor. Given the dearth of research exploring EducatorCounselor identity development, the researchers sought to understand how faculty prepare pre-service school counselors to engage in antiracist practices through institutional and andragogical practices and how students experience these practices in developing their EducatorCounselor identity. The findings will provide a framework for antiracist foundations in school counselor preparation and illustrate the practices needed for school counselor educators to actualize antiracist work.

The Evaluation Of A Hip Hop And School Counselor Education Course, Ian P. Levy, James Norris, Lanita Jefferson

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling

The training of future school counselors to integrate school-based mental health resources has never been as important within a climate where US schools replicate the racial violence and fear we see nationally, at the expense of wellbeing. Fostering multicultural counseling competencies in school counselors are critical for their tackling of the challenges that historically marginalized and culturally diverse individuals, groups, and communities face. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a Hip Hop-based school counselor education course on the development of graduate student’s multicultural competence. Results from qualitative analysis of course assignments indicated that graduate school …

A Phenomenological Study Of Federally Funded School Counselor Educators’ Non-Dual Educator-Counselor And Antiracist School Counselor Identity, Yung-Yu Lee, Matthew Lemberger-Truelove

The Agile School Counselor Training Model: Fostering A Nonbinary Professional Identity, Laurie A. Carlson, Lorraine Dekruyf, Diana Gruman

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling

The authors offer the Agile School Counselor Training Model as a multidimensional framework that provides counselor educators and school counselors-in-training (SCITs) a visual schema for fostering a non-binary professional school counselor identity. The model covers the full spectrum of work school counselors engage in, ranging from mental health professional to educational professional, as well as a continuum of practice that ranges from a focus on the personal to a focus on the systemic. This article reviews the pendulum swings of school counselor professional identity, introduces the Agile Model, and offers implications for practice for counselor educators and SCITs.

Supporting Clinical Mental Health Counseling Doctoral Supervisors In Supervising School Counselors-In-Training: Challenges And Strategies For Integration, Yu-Hsun Peng, Derron Hilts, Yanhong Liu

Teaching and Supervision in Counseling

This conceptual article underscores the critical need for tailored supervision for school counselors-in-training (SCITs), emphasizing challenges arising from differences in training, role ambiguity, and limited understanding of pK-12 educational contexts when overseen by doctoral supervisors with clinical mental health counseling (CMHC) backgrounds. We advocate for enhanced training and support for doctoral students from CMHC backgrounds to more effectively supervise SCITs. Bridging the gap between SCITs and counselor education doctoral training, we emphasize adjustments to supervision training and implications for the supervision of school counselor trainees.
