How Inclusive Is The Brainstem Rule? Partiality Beyond Consensus, Charlotte Gauvry, Nurida Boddenberg

Animal Sentience

In his 2024 book, Jonathan Birch builds a precautionary framework for the borderlines of sentience, one that is meant to guide both theoretical reflection and practical action. One of the book’s great merits is its bottom-up approach, which presents itself as theoretically neutral regarding the (neuro-)physiological criteria required for sentience. Yet the singular place granted to midbrain-centric views (e.g., Merker, 2007; Panksepp, 2011; Solms, 2021) and to what Birch calls the “brainstem rule” (Chapter 11) raises questions. What justifies granting it such a central role? What are its practical and theoretical consequences?

Language-Associated Services, Misinformation, And Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Among Refugee And Immigrant Populations In Pennsylvania, Samuel Elenwo

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Limited research has examined misinformation, cultural beliefs, and language accessibility together in relation to COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among refugee and immigrant adults. Guided by the socioecological model, this quantitative, cross-sectional study analyzed electronic questionnaires from N = 120 consenting Pennsylvania residents aged 18 or older who identified as immigrants, refugees, asylees, or humanitarian parolees and used social media for COVID-19 health information. Pearson correlations and separate multiple linear regression models examined associations with continuous vaccine hesitancy scores, adjusting for age, gender, education, U.S. residency, and weekly social media use. Greater misinformation exposure (B = 0.394, p < .001) and higher cultural-belief scores (B = 0.211, p < .01) were associated with greater hesitancy. Better language accessibility was associated with lower hesitancy (B = −0.365, p < .001). The demographic and social media model explained 21.9% of the variation in hesitancy scores (R² = .219) and was statistically significant, F(15, 104) = 1.94, p < .05, although most variation remained unexplained. Greater weekly social media use was associated with greater hesitancy (B = 0.024, p < .05). Compared with high school/GED education, less than high school education was associated with lower hesitancy (B = −0.672, p < .01); WhatsApp use was associated with lower hesitancy than Facebook use (B = −0.345, p < .05). These findings point to the need for credible, culturally responsive vaccine communication in preferred languages and across relevant online channels. The associations identify communication priorities but do not establish causal effects.

Using The Houdini Method For Nurse-Driven Foley Catheter Removal, Chloe G. Dodd, Hannah Colvis

Scholars Week

Abstract

Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) are a preventable complication associated with indwelling urinary catheters. Although Murray-Calloway County Hospital (MCCH) has an existing nurse-driven Foley catheter removal policy, opportunities remain to improve nurses’ adherence to the policy and promote timely catheter removal. This evidence-based practice project focuses on improving adherence to existing Policy IC-027 through education and implementation of the HOUDINI criteria, which help nurses identify patients who no longer require an indwelling urinary catheter. The project aims to increase nurses’ awareness of the current policy, encourage consistent daily catheter necessity assessments, and support timely catheter removal when appropriate. The …

How Does Nurse-To-Patient Ratio Impact Patient Satisfaction?, Kathryn G. Courtney, Alexa Nicholson

Scholars Week

This evidence-based practice project examined the relationship between nurse-to-patient ratios and patient satisfaction. A review of current literature, guided by Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring and the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) quality improvement framework, found that lower nurse-to-patient ratios are associated with improved communication, higher patient satisfaction, better patient outcomes, and increased patient safety. Based on these findings, recommendations and a Safe Nurse-to-Patient Staffing Policy were proposed to support acuity-based staffing, enhance quality of care, and improve both patient and nursing outcomes.

Implementation Of A Standardized, Multimodal Safe Sleep Education Policy For Newborns, Emma C. Cook, Anisa E. Toliver

The goal is to improve adherence to safe sleep practices and reduce the risk of sleep-related infant death using interventions such as multiple forms of standardized parent education, consistent staff modeling of safe sleep practices, environmental modifications, and routine bassinet audits. This project uses Dorothea Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory to strengthen parental understanding and promote safe sleep environments during hospitalization and at home.

Developing An Emergency Department-Specific C. Difficile Infection-Prevention Policy, Katelyn M. Wuest, Chris Bray

Scholars Week

Our evidence-based practice project focuses on the need for an Emergency Department (ED)- specific Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) infection-prevention policy that adapts the existing facility-wide guidelines to the unique workflow and environment of the ED. Using infection-prevention literature and environmental disinfection recommendations as a foundation, the project proposes the need for clearer guidance regarding applying precautions, managing shared equipment, and maintaining environmental cleanliness. Implementation and evaluation using a Plan-Do-Study-Act approach can help assess staff adherence and identify opportunities to improve consistency in infection-prevention practices.

Improving Fall Risk Assessment In Inpatient Rehabilitation, Sarah B. Flick, Aaliyah Garcia, Trista Hamblin

Scholars Week

This evidence-based practice project examines how fall-risk assessment can be improved for patients in inpatient rehabilitation by incorporating rehabilitation-specific functional factors into the existing assessment process. A review of four research studies identified toileting, transfers, ambulation, cognition, previous falls, and functional limitations as important considerations for fall-risk identification. The project proposes a structured functional review to supplement current assessment tools, with a phased implementation plan using staff education, a pilot program, and ongoing evaluation to support patient safety and individualized fall-prevention interventions.

Practical Implementation Of An Osteoarthritis Treatment Program In A Radiation Oncology Center Within Md Anderson’S Cancer Network, Aaron Shaykevich, Adam Grippin, Warren Floyd, Brady Cripe, Alexander Augustyn, Shalin Shah, Samantha Buszek

Improving Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates Among Adults Ages 45–75 At A Neighborhood Health Center Through Electronic Health Record Alerts And Provider Workflow Intervention, Angela A. Thornton

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

The Doctor of Nursing Practice organizational change project addressed low colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates among adults aged 45–75 years at a neighborhood health center, which is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). Low screening presented a nursing practice concern because of missed opportunities for early detection. The practice-focused question asked whether an evidence-based CRC screening intervention, compared with usual care, improved screening completion within 6 weeks. The purpose was to improve screening through manual electronic health record (EHR) alerts, standardized medical assistant workflows, patient reminders, ColoFIT kit distribution, and navigation. The Johns Hopkins nursing evidence-based practice model guided evidence …

Faculty, Staff and Students Publications

Neurodegenerative disease is marked not just by loss of proteins or cells, but by dynamic rewiring of macromolecular interaction networks that precede and drive pathology. Here, we present a temporally resolved, systems-scale map of multi-protein complex remodeling in a tauopathy model, integrating co-fractionation mass spectrometry, quantitative phosphoproteomics, and machine learning to decode phosphorylation-dependent shifts in protein interactomes across disease progression. This interactomic atlas serves as a resource to investigate functional assemblies, including MAPT-Dpysl2 and Cyfip1-actin, as well as ptk2b-Kars/Dars and ptk2b-Msn-Farsb-complexes, that modulate early disease phenotypes in vivo. Notably, it captures the composition, dynamics, and regulatory state of protein complexes …

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

The timing of biological events for wildlife species reflects and influences ecological and evolutionary processes and helps guide management actions to meet conservation objectives. Climate change may cause phenological shifts across trophic levels and ecosystems, which can have broad ecological impacts. Shifts may also result in mistiming between management practices based on historical conditions and current biological events, reducing the effectiveness of natural resource management and conservation efforts. We analyzed nesting phenology patterns over recent decades across North America for 44 species of grassland-nesting birds, including waterfowl, upland gamebirds, shorebirds, and passerines, many of which have experienced precipitous population declines. …
