Objective
The objective of this study is to examine how nursing homes changed their use of antipsychotic and other psychoactive medications in response to Nursing Home Compare's initiation of publicly reporting antipsychotic use in July 2012.
Research Design and Subjects
The study includes all state recertification surveys (n = 40,415) for facilities six quarters prior and post the initiation of public reporting. Using a difference-in-difference framework, the change in use of antipsychotics and other psychoactive medications is compared for facilities subject to public reporting and facilities not subject to reporting.
Principal Findings
The percentage of residents using antipsychotics, hypnotics, …

The critical importance of effective teamwork in engineering is widely recognized. Surprisingly, however, relatively little is known about how to develop teamwork skills in higher education classes, including what factors contribute to effective teamwork, their relative importance in a team's overall performance, and the underlying individual and interpersonal dynamics. Increasing numbers of engineering instructors are adopting instructional practices relying on teamwork, yet many instructors simply form student teams and hope the members individually and collectively learn on their own how to work in teams and succeed in their task(s). Instructors do this because they do not have guidance for a …

Purpose: This study examined the factors contributing to health disparities in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and high blood pressure (HBP) among adults in three rural underserved communities in southeast Georgia. Socioeconomic status as well as geographic location plays a significant role in one’s quality of health outcomes.
Methods: Individuals in three counties in southern Georgia participated in the study. The study was motivated by review of retrospective data from the 2008 Georgia Cardiovascular Health Initiative (CVHI) database to explain the factors contributing to the incidence of health disparities. A survey questionnaire was administered by telephone to adult members of …

This study examines best practices in hiring related to the recruitment and selection process in English-speaking countries with an Anglo-Saxon heritage. Since such countries share a similar cultural backgrounds and histories, best practices are likely to be somewhat similar. Studies of best practices were examined in the following countries: United States of America, Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand. After looking at commonalities across “best practices” studies, the current investigation presents a common set of such practices in terms of usage.
Mapping Relational Algebra Operators Into Sql Queries: A Database Case Study, John N. Dyer, Camille F. Rogers
Mapping Relational Algebra Operators Into Sql Queries: A Database Case Study, John N. Dyer, Camille F. Rogers
Department of Enterprise Systems and Analytics Faculty Publications
Relational algebra operators and mapping to resulting structured query language (SQL) queries are among the most important concepts and skills for students taking a course in database design and implementation, especially those majoring in IS/IT. The most typical relational algebra operators mapped to foundational SQL include unions and intersections, as well as other relational operators applied to these operators, including differences and various joins. Unfortunately, few textbooks or external resources provide ample opportunity for students to apply the full set of most common relational algebra operators mapped to resulting SQL over a single unified case. Most database textbooks exemplify each …

Perceived Environmental Sector Importance As A Determinant Of Managerial Information Search Behavior, John Leaptrott, J. Michael Mcdonald
Department of Management Faculty Publications
Several prior studies have examined aspects of purposeful information search behavior as a necessary component of the formulation of business policy and strategy. This study used a sample of credit union managers to assess how the managers’ information search behavior related to various environmental sectors was affected by their perceived importance of those sectors. The study measured the use of five different types of information sources related to each of six environmental sectors. The five types of information sources included internal and external personal and written sources and the Internet. The six sectors were equally divided between the task and …
