Summary Of: Exploring Attitudinal Barriers To Participation In Inpatient Fall Risk Assessment Using The Theoretical Domains Framework: A Survey Of Providers, Emily L. Carter, Sarah Hallen, Gavin W. Welch, Erin N. Gordon, Mark G. Parker

Northern New England Clinical & Translational Research

This study examines why inpatient providers are not consistently engaging in fall risk assessment despite its importance in preventing hospital falls. Using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), the authors identify attitudinal barriers among physicians and advanced practice providers. The findings show that the issue is not lack of belief in the importance of fall prevention, but rather competing priorities and lack of confidence or training, pointing to motivation and workflow integration as key leverage points for change.

Summary Of: Association Between Primary Care Provider Status And Preventive Health Care Among People Who Inject Drugs, E Katherine Nenninger, Katherine Sharp, Bianca Bstamente, Kim Murray, Kinna Thakarar

Northern New England Clinical & Translational Research

People who inject drugs (PWID) are at high risk for preventable infections, yet preventive care delivery remains inconsistent. This study examines whether having a primary care provider (PCP) improves access to preventive services in Maine. While many PWID are connected to primary care, the findings show that preventive care is fragmented across settings, with PCP access improving some outcomes (like hepatitis B vaccination) but not ensuring comprehensive prevention.

Pharmacokinetic Profiles Of Sertraline In Pregnancy As A Predictor Of Postpartum Depressive Symptoms, Sílvia M. Illamola, Zachary N. Stowe, Marc L. Kalin, Michael D. Evans, Catherine M.T. Sherwin, Maged M. Costantine, D. Jeffrey Newport, James C. Ritchie, Angela K. Birnbaum

Pediatrics Faculty Publications

Aim: To characterize pharmacokinetic changes of sertraline and its metabolite during pregnancy and postpartum, and their relationship to maternal postpartum depressive symptoms. Methods: This was a prospective observational, longitudinal study of pregnant women with a major depressive disorder treated with sertraline (N = 185 women, 205 pregnancies). Women were enrolled at <16 weeks' gestation and followed at 4-8 week intervals throughout pregnancy and the first postpartum year. Baseline measures included structured clinical interviews and demographic information. Drug and metabolite concentrations and psychometric measures (study outcomes) (ie, Hamilton Rating Scale for depression - 17 item, Beck Depression Inventory, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale [EPDS], Clinical Global Impression [CGI]) were measured at follow-up visits. Serum sertraline and N-desmethylsertraline exposure were reported asstandardized 24-h concentration-to-dose (C/D) and parent to metabolite (P/M) ratios. Linear mixed-effects and latent trajectory models were used to characterize longitudinal patterns in concentration measures across pregnancy and postpartum, and their association with study outcomes. Results: Mean 24-h C/D ratios showed high variability throughout pregnancy and postpartuM.T.hat were characterized by three trajectories for sertraline and five for N-desmethylsertraline and P/M ratio corresponding to different sertraline pharmacokinetic profiles. At postpartum, sertraline drug exposure was inversely associated with higher EPDS score (P < .05), while N-desmethylsertraline exposure was associated with higher scores for all measured depression scales (P < .001). Higher P/M ratios had higher CGI scores (P < .05) postpartum. Conclusion: Sertraline pharmacokinetic profiles varied across pregnant women and were associated with postpartum depressive symptoms. The use of therapeutic monitoring may provide clinical insight that can be useful for identifying patients with a potential toward depressive symptoms.

Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Ai Text Humanising Tools In Reducing Ai Detection In Ai-Generated Texts By Ai Detectors, Samuel Nicodemus Epaphras, Fredrick Mtenzi

Institute for Educational Development, East Africa

The use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools, such as Gemini and ChatGPT,  is  on  the  rise,  and  it  has  revolutionised  content  generation  in professional and academic domains. However, their increasing sophistication presents challenges in distinguishing AI-generated texts from human-written ones,  raising  concerns  about  integrity,  especially  in  academic  writing.  This study   evaluated   the   effectiveness   of   three   AI   text   humanising   tools: Writesonic, QuillBot paraphraser, and WriteHuman in refining texts generated by ChatGPT and  Gemini.  The study employed  a  comparative  experimental design.  By  employing  quantitative  analysis,  the  study  compares  baseline  AI detection    rates    with    those    after    successive    humanisation    iterations. Comparison  was  also …

Common implementation challenges—such as staff resistance, initiative fatigue, and inconsistent follow-through—are addressed through actionable …

South Carolina Middle School Student Performance In Ela And Mathematics: The Imperative Of Assessment For Learning, Olivia S. Ochoo

South Carolina Association for Middle Level Education Journal

Despite broad access to middle school in South Carolina, recent SCReady assessment data indicate persistent literacy and numeracy achievement gaps, with so many students performing below grade level in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics. This article evaluated five years of state- and district-level data, highlighting steady but small gains, and explored how current assessment practices failed to fully inform instruction to accelerate learning. This paper used a mixed-methods research design, particularly a convergent parallel mixed-methods design, in which both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used to collect and analyze data. To be specific, document analysis and both open- and …

An Odd Protocol For An Agent-Based Model Of Hepatitis C Virus Transmission With Inter- And Intra-Group Structural And Behavioural Heterogeneous Syringe-Sharing Networks (5), Seun Ale, Que Nguyen Dr., John D. Kelleher Prof., Elizabeth Hunter Dr.

Reports

The model described in this ODD is an agent-based model of hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission among people who inject drugs (PWID). The model incorporates structural heterogeneity through a three-group interaction framework and behavioural heterogeneity through group-specific syringe-sharing rates with additional intra-group variability. The syringe-sharing population in the model is divided into core, inner, and outer circle groups representing individuals with high, moderate, and low levels of syringe-sharing interaction intensity, respectively. In addition to differences in the number of daily interaction opportunities across groups, agents in each group are assigned syringe-sharing probabilities that vary at the individual level around their …

Introduction to the symposium issue, Transforming Law, Contesting Exclusion, Shaping Inclusion.

Inclusivity In Corporate Scholarship, Afra Afsharipour, Naomi Cahn, June R. Carbone, Darren Rosenblum

UMKC Law Review

For the past two decades, a growing number of women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ scholars have reshaped corporate law scholarship. This Essay explores how their contributions have challenged dominant narratives in corporate law. While these contributions span a wide range of issues, three central themes emerge. First, much of this scholarship contributes to long-standing debates in corporate law by critically examining existing governance structures and introducing new perspectives that challenge conventional views on corporate purpose, power, and value. Second, and strongly connected to the first theme, women and queer scholars have led inquiries into Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) …

A Bacillus Pumilus Isolate With Promising Antimycobacterial Properties, Cody M. Pfaff

SACAD: Scholarly Activities

The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis, highlights the urgent need for new antimicrobial agents. Tuberculosis remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, claiming over a million lives annually and posing increasing challenges due to the thick, lipid-rich, acid-fast cell wall of Mycobacterium species that renders them naturally resistant to many antibiotics. In this study, a soil sample collected from the Campus of Fort Hays State University yielded a bacterial isolate exhibiting strong antimicrobial activity. Initial screening against Escherichia coli MM294 showed a 10 mm inhibition zone, and subsequent testing identified the isolate as Bacillus pumilus …

Demystifying Hardware Formal Verification For Undergraduate Education: A Risc-V Processor Case Study With Coursework Implementation, Riley A. Peters

Master's Theses

Hardware verification engineers apply formal methods to prove that a digital device always behaves according to its specification. This differs from traditional functional verification, in which engineers establish correctness by repeatedly sending test inputs to the device and comparing the outputs against a reference model. With the growing complexity of integrated circuits, the demand for digital verification engineers with formal methods experience has continued to increase. However, California Polytechnic State University: San Luis Obispo's current curriculum lacks dedicated material to prepare students for these roles.

This thesis seeks to address the lack of formal methods material through two efforts. First, …

Environmental Impact Of Preventative Fire-Retardant Applications On Soil Water Chemistry, Patrick C. Michelsen

Master's Theses

Between 1992 and 2012, 84% of all documented wildfires were started by humans. These fires often start around high-risk locations such as power lines and roadsides where fuel loads are near these potential human-caused ignition sources. Point source ignition sites that are surrounded by shrubs or grasslands are especially important because fires that occur within these biomes are responsible for far more destruction of property than forest fires. One strategy that is effective at mitigating the spread of fires from ignition sites that are within grassland or shrub biomes are preventative fire-retardant products (PFRPs). These PFRPs differ from traditional fire-retardant …

《香港多重照顧者面對的挑戰》研究報告, Chak Kwan, Dickson Chan, Meng Soi, Florence Fong, Hiu Wai, Avery Li, Ka Chung, Tom Kwong

APIAS Research Report 研究報告

本研究以質性訪談方式，探討香港「多重照顧者」在日常生活中面對的主要困難及採用的應對策略，並就未來政策及服務提出建議。在本研究中，多重照顧者是指同時需要照顧兩名或以上家庭成員（例如長者、配偶、子女或其他親屬），而其中一名為殘疾或長期病患者。本研究共訪問了45位多重照顧者，結果顯示他們長期承受多方面的壓力，包括時間貧乏、情緒困擾、財政壓力及使用服務困難，影響他們的身心健康、人際關係及職業發展。

就照顧歷程而言，多數受訪者已持續提供照顧，需在工作、家庭與多位照顧對象之間不斷拉鋸，出現「永遠做不完」的感受。在主觀感受上，多重照顧者普遍視照顧為理所當然的責任，但同時感到沉重壓力。他們主要依靠家人分工、嚴密的時間管理、降低對家務與個人生活質素的期望，以及有限度使用社會服務來勉強維持照顧安排。然而，服務分散、申請程序繁複、輪候時間長及資訊不足，使他們難以獲得及時和合適的支援服務。

研究建議有多個方面，包括(1)推行個案經理制度、(2)建立常規化和科學化的照顧者意見收集機制、(3)調整照顧者津貼申請門檻與金額、(4)建立照顧者友善工作環境、(5)優先發展具策略性的「一站式支援」及喘息資源，以及(6)將「多重照顧者」納入長期規劃與制度設計。

Human–Ai Interaction In Graduate Academic Work: A Job Demands-Resources Conceptualization Of Satisfaction And Emotional Exhaustion, Joey Oliveira

Human Resource Development Student Publications and Presentations

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are increasingly embedded in graduate academic work, shaping how faculty and students perform cognitive, analytical, and knowledge-based tasks. As AI tools become integrated into writing, research, and instructional activities, human–AI interaction has emerged as a central feature of contemporary academic work environments. However, existing research has largely focused on AI adoption and technological capability, with limited attention given to how ongoing human–AI interaction influences well-being experiences in academic contexts. Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) framework, this conceptual paper develops a model that links human–AI interaction to student learning satisfaction, faculty job satisfaction, and emotional exhaustion. …

Perspectives Of University Leaders On Adoption And Scaling E Mental Health Support For Students: An Exploratory Analysis, Choongo Mulungu, Esin Nisan Yildirim

Journal of Human Services: Training, Research, and Practice

ABSTRACT

University students face rising mental health challenges, yet adoption of digital support services in higher education remains limited, especially in the Global South. This qualitative study explored perceptions of 18 senior administrators from universities across Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America. Findings revealed a significant implementation gap, with few institutions offering formal platforms. Leaders cited barriers including limited institutional prioritisation, counsellor overload, financial ambiguity, ethical concerns, and absent policy frameworks. Addressing these challenges requires deliberate policy action, equitable resource allocation, and culturally responsive strategies for sustainable integration.
