Action-Logics Of Veterans Health Administration Magnet Nurse Executives And Their Practice Of Supporting Nurses To Speak Up, Bonnie R. Pierce

Dissertations

Health care organizations typically have a hierarchical structure, with physicians dominant and nurses subordinate. The challenge to open and honest communication between doctors and nurses is real, and communication errors contribute significantly to undesirable patient outcomes. Nurse executives (NEs) have a responsibility to help lead transformation of health care organizations to support nurses to speak up and communicate all critical information.

NEs are challenged to improve safety and quality, decrease costs and increase access to care. Combining health care expertise with business ability can support these goals. Rooke and Torbert found correlations between successful business leaders and postconventional action-logics, or …

Nurses' Experiences Of The Traditional Clinical Learning Environment For Nursing Students, April Rowe Neal

Dissertations

Nursing education is unique in its integration of theoretical and experiential learning and yet this integrated approach presents a number of challenges. One nuanced challenge in nursing education is the overlap of the students' clinical learning environment (CLE) with the clinical nurses' work environment. It is believed that the clinical nurse plays an important role in clinical learning, but it is not well understood how the clinical nurse understands and contributes to the CLE. The framework for this study was based on Benner's (1982) Novice to Expert model, transformative learning theory, and the AACN (2005) Healthy Work Environment framework. The …

Galaxy morphology in atomic hydrogen (H I) and in the ultraviolet (UV) are closely linked. This has motivated their combined use to quantify morphology over the full H I disc for both H I and UV imaging. We apply galaxy morphometrics: concentration, asymmetry, gini, M₂₀ and multimode-intensity-deviation statistics to the first moment-0 maps of the WALLABY Survey of galaxies in the hydra cluster centre. Taking advantage of this new H I survey, we apply the same morphometrics over the full H I extent on archival GALEX FUV and NUV data to explore how well H I truncated, extended ultraviolet …

One Chinoiserie, Two Series : A Comparative Study Of The French L'Histoire De L’Empereur De La Chine And The English Indian Manner Tapestries, Yue Wang

Lingnan Theses (MPhil & PhD)

This thesis investigates two chinoiserie tapestries that appeared in Europe in the 1680s and 1690s to discuss the relationship between the diversity of early chinoiserie artistic styles and the Eurasian cross-cultural interaction, as well as the general interest of Europeans in China and Asia. Both produced by French weavers, chinoiserie tapestries appeared in France and England, namely L’histoire de l’empereur de la Chine (The Story of the Emperor of China), manufactured by the Royal Factory in Beauvais, France, around 1685, and Indian Manner, manufactured by the tapestry workshops in Soho, England, around 1690. The former has received greater …

Rehabilitation Technologies To Abate Infiltration In Sanitary Sewers, Steve Youssef

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In urban coastal environments, sewer infrastructure is plagued by infiltration which seeps into aging and compromised pipes. Infiltration increases pumping costs, reduces treatment efficiency, and may trigger release of partially treated wastewater at water reclamation facilities. To restore pipes and abate infiltration, local utilities rely on structural and non-structural trenchless rehabilitation technologies. These methods are commonly used throughout the United States and the world due to their numerous benefits compared to traditional open-cut construction. However, limited data is available regarding their efficacy in reducing infiltration in sewer systems. In this study, we analysed infiltration in a small urban sewershed in …

Therapy resistance is imposing a daunting challenge on effective clinical management of breast cancer. Although the development of resistance to drugs is multifaceted, reprogramming of energy metabolism pathways is emerging as a central but heterogenous regulator of this therapeutic challenge. Metabolic heterogeneity in cancer cells is intricately associated with alterations of different signaling networks and activation of DNA damage response pathways. Here we consider how the dynamic metabolic milieu of cancer cells regulates their DNA damage repair ability to ultimately contribute to development of therapy resistance. Diverse epigenetic regulators are crucial in remodeling the metabolic landscape of cancer. This epigenetic-metabolic …

Don’T Read This Paper! Reverse Psychology, Contrast And Position Effects In A Magician Forcing Technique, Alice Pailhès, Gustav Kuhn

School of Psychology

Reverse psychology is increasingly being used in marketing to enhance a brand’s attractivity and product differentiation. Even though this concept is well known in popular culture, very little research has investigated its effectiveness in simple decision-making processes. We investigated a magician force – technique that covertly influence the spectator’s choice – to study how reverse psychology influences people’s selection process. The Five Card Mental Force is thought to rely on reverse psychology instructions to lead the audience member to choose a specific card among four others that are presented in a horizontal line. In four experiments, we investigated the effectiveness …

Turning Dead Leaves Into An Active Multifunctional Material As Evaporator, Photocatalyst, And Bioplastic, Siyuan Fang, Xingyi Lyu, Tian Tong, Aniqa Ibnat Lim, Tao Li, Jiming Bao, Yun Hang Hu

Michigan Tech Publications, Part 1

Large numbers of leaves fall on the earth each autumn. The current treatments of dead leaves mainly involve completely destroying the biocomponents, which causes considerable energy consumption and environmental issues. It remains a challenge to convert waste leaves into useful materials without breaking down their biocomponents. Here, we turn red maple dead leaves into an active three-component multifunctional material by exploiting the role of whewellite biomineral for binding lignin and cellulose. Owing to its intense optical absorption spanning the full solar spectrum and the heterogeneous architecture for effective charge separation, films of this material show high performance in solar water …

Editorial: Clinical Cancer Research In Vulnerable Populations, Laura Tack, Patricia Schofield, Tom Boterberg, Christopher N. Parris, Philip R. Debruyne

School of Nursing and Midwifery

Vulnerable populations in cancer care include a wide array of possible conditions (see Table 1). Their vulnerabilities, whether medical, sociocultural, age- or socioeconomic-related, cause these cancer populations to be excluded from clinical trials. This introduces bias and a Matheus effect as clinical trial results are often not fully representative of the whole target population. This underrepresentation of the majority of cancer patients in clinical trials is a major drawback. The treatment of cancer patients with surgery, radiotherapy, and systemic anticancer drugs has reached an increasingly high level of effectiveness, sometimes shifting a cancer diagnosis towards the possibility of living a …

Taking A Load Off: User Perceptions Of Smart Offloading Walkers For Diabetic Foot Ulcers Using The Technology Acceptance Model, M G Finco, Gozde Cay, Myeounggon Lee, Jason Garcia, Elia Salazar, Tze-Woei Tan, David G Armstrong, Bijan Najafi

Center on Aging Staff Publications

People with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are commonly prescribed offloading walkers, but inadequate adherence to prescribed use can be a barrier to ulcer healing. This study examined user perspectives of offloading walkers to provide insight on ways to help promote adherence. Participants were randomized to wear: (1) irremovable, (2) removable, or (3) smart removable walkers (smart boot) that provided feedback on adherence and daily walking. Participants completed a 15-item questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Spearman correlations assessed associations between TAM ratings with participant characteristics. Chi-squared tests compared TAM ratings between ethnicities, as well as 12-month retrospective fall …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have established the contribution of common and low-frequency variants to metabolic blood measurements in the UK Biobank (UKB). To complement existing GWAS findings, we assessed the contribution of rare protein-coding variants in relation to 355 metabolic blood measurements-including 325 predominantly lipid-related nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-derived blood metabolite measurements (Nightingale Health Plc) and 30 clinical blood biomarkers-using 412,393 exome sequences from four genetically diverse ancestries in the UKB. Gene-level collapsing analyses were conducted to evaluate a diverse range of rare-variant architectures for the metabolic blood measurements. Altogether, we identified significant associations (p < 1 × 10

Association Of Qaca/B And Smr Carriage With Staphylococcus Aureus Survival Following Exposure To Antiseptics In An Ex Vivo Venous Catheter Disinfection Model, J Chase Mcneil, Lauren M Sommer, Jesus G Vallejo, Kristina G Hulten, Sheldon L Kaplan

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Many health care centers have reported an association between Staphylococcus aureus isolates bearing efflux pump genes and an elevated MIC/minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) to chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) and other antiseptics. The significance of these organisms is uncertain, given that their MIC/MBC is typically far lower than the CHG concentration in most commercial preparations. We sought to evaluate the relationship between carriage of the efflux pump genes qacA/B and smr in S. aureus and the efficacy of CHG-based antisepsis in a venous catheter disinfection model. S. aureus isolates with and without smr and/or qacA/B were utilized. The CHG MICs were determined. …

Adenoviral Gene Therapy For Bladder Cancer, Roland W Herzog, Masataka Suzuki

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Enhanced by polyamide surfactant Syn3, intravesical administration of rAd-IFNα2b results in transduction of the virus into the bladder epithelium, resulting in the synthesis and expression of local IFNα2b cytokine. Upon secretion, IFNα2b binds to the IFNα receptor on bladder cancer and other cells, resulting in signaling via the JAK-STAT pathway. A plethora of induced IFN-stimulated genes containing IFN-sensitive response elements that contribute to activation of pathways restrict cancer growth.

Hyperoxia Disrupts Lung Lymphatic Homeostasis In Neonatal Mice, Nithyapriya Shankar, Shyam Thapa, Amrit Kumar Shrestha, Poonam Sarkar, M Waleed Gaber, Roberto Barrios, Binoy Shivanna

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Inflammation causes bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a common lung disease of preterm infants. One reason this disease lacks specific therapies is the paucity of information on the mechanisms regulating inflammation in developing lungs. We address this gap by characterizing the lymphatic phenotype in an experimental BPD model because lymphatics are major regulators of immune homeostasis. We hypothesized that hyperoxia (HO), a major risk factor for experimental and human BPD, disrupts lymphatic endothelial homeostasis using neonatal mice and human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells (HDLECs). Exposure to 70% O2 for 24–72 h decreased the expression of prospero homeobox 1 (Prox1) and …

Telomere maintenance 2 (TELO2), Tel2 interacting protein 2 (TTI2), and Tel2 interacting protein 1 (TTI1) are the three components of the conserved Triple T (TTT) complex that modulates activity of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related protein kinases (PIKKs), including mTOR, ATM, and ATR, by regulating the assembly of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1). The TTT complex is essential for the expression, maturation, and stability of ATM and ATR in response to DNA damage. TELO2- and TTI2-related bi-allelic autosomal-recessive (AR) encephalopathies have been described in individuals with moderate to severe intellectual disability (ID), short stature, postnatal microcephaly, and a movement disorder (in the case of …

Insights Into Pulmonary Phosphate Homeostasis And Osteoclastogenesis Emerge From The Study Of Pulmonary Alveolar Microlithiasis, Yasuaki Uehara, Steven L Teitelbaum, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis is an autosomal recessive lung disease caused by a deficiency in the pulmonary epithelial Npt2b sodium-phosphate co-transporter that results in accumulation of phosphate and formation of hydroxyapatite microliths in the alveolar space. The single cell transcriptomic analysis of a pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis lung explant showing a robust osteoclast gene signature in alveolar monocytes and the finding that calcium phosphate microliths contain a rich protein and lipid matrix that includes bone resorbing osteoclast enzymes and other proteins suggested a role for osteoclast-like cells in the host response to microliths. While investigating the mechanisms of microlith clearance, we found …
