Full textIntroduction: During 2017, approximately 750,000 strokes occurred, of those approximately 140,000 people died from a stroke and <10% were also diagnosed with a hospital acquired condition. The economic burden associated with stroke care exceeds $34 billion; and hospitalizations with a hospital acquired condition increase costs. In the United States, differences in health outcomes have been documented; however, these studies show that sociodemographic differences continue to exist. The objectives of this study are to assess differences in clinical outcomes among the study population, and to assess if there are differences hospital charges.
Methods: To investigate differences in outcomes and hospital charges among the study population, the 2001-2011 Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was used. Hospitalizations that occurred with a primary diagnosis of an ischemic stroke and a subsequent diagnosis of a hospital acquired condition were queried using ICD-9 codes. Additionally, the Elixhauser comorbidity index was used to identify comorbid conditions among individuals hospitalized. To assess the differences in outcomes and hospital charges chi-square, logistic regression, and hierarchical multilevel modeling procedures were used. All statistical analyses were performed using SAS 9.4.
Results: The overall death rate has decreased among the study population; however, racial/ethnic differences exist in patient outcomes. When assessing hospital charges, hospitalizations that occurred in the Southern region of the United States were higher than hospitalizations that occurred in the Northwest region of the United States.
Conclusion: Further analysis needs to be conducted to assess sociodemographic differences in clinical outcomes among the study population. There is a need to continue to identify sociodemographic groups with risks of mortality to better guide the funding opportunities to target these resources to populations that experience the worse health outcomes. Future studies should also assess the role of mental health, cultural competency, and care coordination to improve patient outcomes.

Full textHistorically Black Colleges and Universities have historically been given less funding than White institutions, a known discrepancy partially rectified by the Civil Rights era desegregation lawsuits. The court-ordered funding, however, came with race-based restrictions for public HBCUs, and many lost academic programs to traditionally White institutions. In numerous situations, Black colleges were closed outright or merged with White institutions. The following study explores the unique case of an HBCU coerced into merging an academic unit with a neighboring historically White university. Using archival data and interviews from the HBCU administrators, the case study presents a narrative of how the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University – Florida State University partnership was formed, explores the partnership’s development over time, and examines differences between the mission and practices of the joint venture from FAMU’s perspective.

The transition to college offers students the chance to explore, experiment with, and eventually begin to solidify their identities (Boyd, Hunt, Kandell, & Lucas, 2003), but for students from agricultural backgrounds, leaving home to head to a more urban area for college constitutes a threat to identity (Breakwell, 1986; Cicognani, Menezes, & Nata, 2011; Proshanksy, 1978). Although education research concerning rural students is plentiful (e.g., Antos, 1999; Donehower, Hogg, & Schell, 2012; Durham & Smith, 2006; Lester, 2012), research specific to agrarian students is sparse (e.g., Dees, 2006). The purpose of this qualitative instrumental case study was to explore and describe the experiences of students from agricultural backgrounds as they transitioned to college and how the transition impacted self-perceived identity. In particular, this study inquired into the difficulties and successes faced by study participants, as well as strategies used for coping with the transition from their agrarian homes to their more urban university setting. Four male and four female participants attended a university situated in the Midwest and majored in agricultural education. These university participants were invited to complete two qualitative interviews, submit photographs they felt represented their home and school lives, invite the researcher to observe any facet of their university experience, and submit the most meaningful assignment completed in college. Additionally, three male and two female high school students anticipating the transition to college were interviewed about their perceptions of the upcoming transition. Analysis of research data revealed that participant identities were impacted by the transition to college, their agrarian backgrounds, and their university experiences. Twenty-three distinct codes emerged from the data and were further categorized into six patterns: merging worlds, differences and tensions, “it’s in my blood,” continuing educational legacy/impact, finding self-identity, and can I go home? This study’s results highlighted, first and foremost, the need for universities to keep statistics on rural student enrollment. Additionally, this study emphasized the need for teachers, advisors, and counselors to be mindful of students’ backgrounds and future plans. Finally, this study demonstrated the importance of exposure to more urban areas and educational opportunities for easing the transition to college in students from agricultural backgrounds.

This thesis focuses on how the Agricultural Practicum of Kaohsiung First Community University builds up its social network. The major research method employed is semi-structured interviews with some core members participating in initiating the community university, involving as staff and/or students. My participatory observation helps work out a coherent and holistic view for me to obtain a better understanding of activities of Kaohsiung First Community University and the building of social network thereof. The Agricultural Practicum of Kaohsiung First Community University is characterized with its efforts to organize and promote the farming course, the practice in the field and the market of the home-grown organic agricultural products. This way, the members of the farming course form a network of their own to acquire the basic know-how in farming and, more importantly, to strengthen their teamwork and social network. That is to say, the Agricultural Practicum of Kaohsiung First Community University not only provides the farming courses but also helps establish the social relationship between the staff and/or students. However, the building of social network, in this case, comes across some problems when too many people take part in this teaching/farming program. My research concern is to outline the way the social network builds in this Community University and to see why and how it becomes dysfunctional.

This study aimed to compare and analysis of the academic performances of technological university students from different types of college admission, including examination and placement, recommendation and screening, special achievement-based admission (including special achievement and screening-based admission), application of high school. Based on literature review, this study conducted a secondary data analysis of 489 students’ academic performances from 8 departments of Agriculture College. The data were classified into three categories of courses: required subject, elective subject and overall courses. The SPSS 20 statistical software was applied to analyze data for descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA to compare and analysis of the academic performances of students from different types of college admission. The findings were as follows: 1. In terms of the whole Agricultural College, students admitted from application of high school have better academic achievements in different subjects than students from the other types of college admission. 2. In general, the students admitted from recommendation and screening performed better in the required subjects and the overall subjects than the students from four-year technology college’s joint registration and placement. 3. In Department of Plant Industry, Department of Aquaculture, Department of Wood Science and Department of Design, there were statistically significant differences in academic performances between students from different types of college admission 4. In the Department of Forestry, Department of Biological Science and Technology, Department of Animal Science, Department of Plant Medicine and Department of Food Science, there were no statistically significant differences in academic performances of overall courses between students from different types of college admission. 5. In Department of Wood Science and Design, students from application of high school had lower grades than students from recommendation and screening. In Department of Animal Science, students from recommendation and screening based admission earned the lowest scores in the overall courses than students from the other types of college admission. In conclusion, there is statistically significant difference between the academic performances of students at agricultural college from different types of college admission. The findings can contribute to improve students’ academic performance by creating more supportive programs of curriculum planning, study guidance and student recruitment.
