Abstract:
AbstractDespite literature that highlights the dental needs of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), very few of these people receive adequate dental care. To determine whether Medicaid home and community-based services (HCBS) waivers address the dental-services gaps left by Medicaid state plans, this study examined the dental services proposed for fiscal year (FY) 2011 in 95 Medicaid HCBS waiver applications relating to individuals with IDD. Less than 20% of the waivers examined offered any type of dental service. This study also examined 88 FY 2010 HBCS waiver applications to determine changes from 2010 to 2011. Although increases were found from FY 2010 to FY 2011 in both spending for dental services and number of proposed participants, our results indicate that only a fraction of states are using HCBS waivers to address gaps in dental coverage for adults with IDD.

Abstract:
Many states have enacted Home- and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Medicaid waivers, which waive or expand Medicaid means tests to increase access to community-based public mental health services for youth with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED). This study sought to understand key factors in State Mental Health Authorities and Medicaid Agency decision-making in adopting Medicaid waivers for youth with SED. Using purposive sampling to collect data through semi-structured interviews with officials from 37 state mental health systems, interviews focused on fiscal, historical, and political reasons for states’ adoption or rejection of Medicaid waivers to serve youth with SED. Results suggest that decisions around waiver adoption relate to the size and flexibility of state budgets, the sufficiency of existing public HCBS funding and services, political prioritization of children and families, states’ desire to move away from a reliance on residential care, and ideology related to the role of the state in providing for the welfare of children and families. Advocacy efforts promoting state waiver adoption can address apprehensions about budget constraints and providing financial assistance to non-poor families by emphasizing potential cost savings from residential diversion and ethical imperatives to keep children in their homes and communities.

Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to increase understanding about how to obtain institutional review board approval to waive parental consent for adolescent research that involves minimal risk to subjects and/or that cannot be carried out practicably without the waiver. Because of IRB guidelines, the researchers were unable to use passive parental consent for a study of adolescent nonmedical prescription drug use (NMPDU). Without knowledge of waiver 45 C.F.R. §46.116 of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Code of Federal Regulations regarding the protection of human research subjects, the study design required active parental consent for survey administration. This requirement limited study participation and increased costs. Using the waiver, the study design could have waived parental consent with adolescent assent. By increasing awareness of the 45 C.F.R. §46.116 waiver and its subparts, the researchers hope to inform future researchers about reducing barriers to future adolescent research. Lessons learned include how using the waiver may decrease research costs, reduce participant selection bias, increase participant response rate, and expand data available to contribute to critical, emerging adolescent health issues such as NMPDU.

Abstract:
Abstract Self-advocacy plays an important role in facilitating the empowerment of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and helps people with IDD develop the skills necessary for the participant direction of services. The purpose of this study was to examine Medicaid Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) 1915(c) waivers across the nation to determine how states were utilizing self-advocacy services for people with IDD. Findings revealed approximately half of waivers provided self-advocacy services; however, less than .01% of waiver spending was projected for stand-alone self-advocacy services. States need to expand the provision of self-advocacy services for people with IDD in order to strengthen their ability to direct their waiver services and exercise their rights.

Abstract:
A growing percentage of state budgets has been focused on caring for individuals who receive long-term services and supports (LTSS). States have an important tool to reduce the costs of caring for individuals with LTSS, Medicaid Section 1915(c) waivers. Using logistic regression, whether and when a state decides to apply for a waiver during the years 1993–2014 is tested. Wealthier, larger states are more likely to apply for waivers, while previous waiver applications are related to fewer applications. The role of political polarization within the legislature has mixed results on whether a state decides to apply for a waiver.

Abstract:
Abstract Medicaid is the most significant source of funding for medical services for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We surveyed state Medicaid directors or their designees regarding their use of autism specific 1915(c) waivers and other Medicaid benefits to provide services to children and youth with ASD, with a response rate of 84%. Ten states used autism-specific waivers to provide services. These waivers varied in the number of children served, eligibility criteria and services provided, among other characteristics. Issues related to the number of children to serve and the specific services to provide were perceived to be the most difficult waiver design issues, while provider geographic distribution, capacity and expertise were perceived to be the most difficult implementation concerns. States used a variety of additional Medicaid state plan services (e.g., the optional rehabilitation benefit) and 1915(c) waivers (e.g., a more general waiver serving individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities) to provide services to children and youth with ASD. Thus, continuing to examine the adequacy and effectiveness of state use of a range of Medicaid benefits, including autism-specific 1915(c) waivers is critical. Expanding the evidence base for intervention effectiveness is important as well.

Abstract:
Abstract Medicaid Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) 1915(c) waivers are the largest source of funding for the long term services and supports of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). National-level analyses of HCBS IDD waivers are crucial because of the large variance across states, the recent CMS rule and regulation changes (CMS 2249-F/2296-F), and the ever changing economic and political landscape. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine state waiver priorities for people with IDD. In FY 2015, 111 waivers projected spending $25.6 billion for approximately 630,000 people with IDD. The services with the most funding were residential habilitation, supports to live in one's own home, and day habilitation. However, our analysis revealed large discrepancies across states and services.

Abstract:
Abstract We examined (a) the associations between Medicaid home and community-based waiver participation and service use and expenditures among children with ASD; and (b) how states' waiver spending moderates these effects. We used 2005 Medicaid claims to identify a sample of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We selected two comparison groups who had no waiver participation: (a) children who were eligible for Medicaid through disability (disability group), and (b) children who had at least one inpatient/long-term care (IP/LT) episode (IP/LT group). Waiver participants were less likely to use IP/LT services and had lower associated expenditures than the disability group. As states' waiver spending increased, waiver participants became increasingly less likely to use IP/LT services. Waiver participants had more outpatient visits and associated expenditures; this difference increased as state waiver spending increased. Compared with the IP/LT group, waiver participants had lower IP/LT expenditures, more outpatient visits, and associated expenditures. Higher state waiver generosity increased this effect on outpatient visits and expenditures.

Abstract:
The law in France regarding waivers of foreign state (or sovereign) immunity from execution of judicial judgments (based largely on consideration of international law principles) has recently undergone significant developments. Previously, French case law had required a foreign state's waiver of immunity from execution to be both express and specific to consider valid the attachment of foreign state property allocated to public services (including bank accounts used for the functioning of both diplomatic missions and delegations to international organizations). In 2015, the French Court of Cassation relaxed the criteria it had previously required for giving effect to waivers of sovereign immunity in such situations, thus facilitating the ability of judgment creditors to attach foreign state property in France. Its decision in the Commisimpex v. Republic of Congo case appeared to put an end to that requirement by abandoning the criterion of a “specific” waiver on the ground that “customary international law does not require a waiver of immunity from execution other than express.” In December 2016, however, the French government enacted new legislation reinstating the need for a specific waiver of immunity for the attachment of the property as well as bank accounts of foreign embassies and diplomatic missions and additionally requiring a court order authorizing the attachment or seizure. As a result, France has now embraced a distinctly more protective approach to the immunity of foreign state assets from attachment and execution of judicial judgments.

Abstract:
The number of Americans needing long-term services and supports (LTSS) is projected to more than double in the coming decades largely due to an aging baby boomer population, meaning paying for LTSS will become an even greater challenge for American families and the country. Despite the benefits of aging in place, there remains a long-standing institutional bias within the Medicaid program, where services in nursing facilities are mandatory while home- and community-based services (HCBS) are mostly optional for states to cover. This study examined HCBS 1915(c) waivers ( n = 61 waivers) for older adults to categorize and compare service priorities. Findings revealed waivers for older adults were primarily focused on supporting individuals in their own homes to age in place. However, findings also revealed HCBS waivers are an underutilized mechanism for funding the LTSS of older adults. As states continue to deal with an increasing population of aging adults, with and without disabilities, the HCBS waiver option will continue to be an important component of a state’s service system.

Abstract:
Older individuals overwhelmingly prefer to receive long-term services and supports (LTSS) in home and community-based settings. Medicaid elderly 1915(c) waivers have become the primary mechanism that states use to provide home and community-based services (HCBS) to older individuals. Given the positive effects elderly waivers have on the quality of life of older individuals, I examined why states adopt elderly waivers; the extent of the substantive differences in program quality across elderly waivers; and the factors associated with elderly waiver program quality, contrasted with the factors associated with elderly waiver program size (i.e., number of participants and expenditures). I examined how state contextual, institutional, and political factors, as well as factors external to the states, including neighboring state and federal policy activity, influenced state policy decisions pertaining to elderly waiver adoptions and program quality and size. First, I performed a retrospective analysis using state-level longitudinal data from 1992-2010 to conduct a discrete time-series repeated event history analysis (EHA) to identify the variables associated with state adoptions of elderly waivers. Second, I created a measure of elderly waiver program quality consisting of four equally weighted components of waivers thought to be associated with the provision of higher quality HCBS to older individuals, including: eligibility criteria, self-determination supports, range of services provided, and participant protections. Using correlational analyses, I examined the relationships between program quality and size. Third, I performed retrospective ordinary least squares (OLS) analyses using waiver program-level data from 2015 to examine elderly waiver program quality and size and fixed-effects OLS using data from 1993-2010 to examine elderly waiver program size. I identified 63 elderly waiver adoptions across 35 states between 1992 and 2010, which were significantly associated with state contextual and external factors. Consistent with previous research, I found that contextual factors, including the number of older individuals, the supply of long-term care facilities and whether the state already had an elderly waiver program, affected state decisions to adopt elderly waivers. There was significant variation in each of the four component and overall quality scores and weak associations between program quality and size. I found that state contextual factors, including market and Medicaid program characteristics, influenced elderly waiver program quality and size. In addition, program quality was shaped by the capacity of state policymaking institutions (e.g., governorships and legislatures), while program size was shaped by neighboring state and federal policy activity. The findings from this research suggest that elderly waiver adoptions and program quality and size are shaped through different policymaking pathways. Efforts to improve the quality of elderly waiver programs should consider the capacity of state executive officials in addition to contextual determinants and focus on improving existing elderly waiver programs. Given that most waivers scored well on eligibility and participant protections, efforts to improve the quality of elderly waiver programs should focus on expanding self-direction supports opportunities, the types of waiver services, and eliminating restrictions placed on service delivery (e.g., waiting lists).

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The flexible nature of the service delivery environment has had a major impact on the functioning of organisations. Managers realise that they need to be flexible and able to change if they want to survive in the long run. Employees are the tools service organisations utilise to make profit in the hospitality industry. The restaurant industry is a highly competitive environment and managers cannot afford poor service delivery from employees. Employees experiencing high levels of job engagement and low levels of job burnout have indicated superior performance and increased financial returns. The primary objective of this research study was to develop and empirically test a structural model that elucidates the antecedents of variance in job engagement and job burnout among frontline waitrons at franchise x in the Western Cape. In addition, the research study investigated whether employees utilise deep acting or surface acting when faced with emotional labour demands. The study investigated whether certain personality traits are more suitable for the industry by investigating whether certain personality characteristics are related to job engagement or job burnout. In this research study, partial least square (PLS) analyses were utilised to test the formulated hypotheses. Quantitative data was collected from 333 frontline waitrons employed at franchise x in the Western Cape. Data was collected specifically for the purposes of the study and participation was voluntary. The survey was distributed at the branches of franchise x. Managers had a week to facilitate their frontline waitrons in the completion of the surveys. The data was kept confidential and anonymous throughout the study. The survey comprised five sections. The first section asked participants for specific biographical and employment information. Subsequent sections measured specific latent variables applicable to the study utilising reliable and valid measuring instruments. These instruments were the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) (Naude & Rothmann, 2004), Ultrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004), HEXACO-PI-R (Ashton, Lee, Pozzebon, Visser & Worth, 2010) and the Emotional Labour Scale (ELS) (Van Gelderen, Konijn & Bakker, 2011). Data was subjected to a range of statistical analyses. The findings shed light on the importance of job engagement for frontline waitrons at the branches of franchise x in the Western Cape. The results indicate that proactive management of job and personal resources and job demands may result in desirable outcomes such as increased job engagement and financial returns. The study provides South African industrial psychologists with much needed insight into the presenting problem within the hospitality industry. With reference to the managerial implications and the recommended interventions, industrial psychologists can ensure retention of job engagement and decrease of job burnout among frontline waitrons within the hospitality industry.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die buigsame aard van die diensverskaffingsomgewing het ‘n groot impak gehad op die funksionering van organisasies. Bestuurders het tot die besef gekom dat hulle buigsaam moet wees asook bereid wees om te verander indien hulle op die lange duur wil oorleef. Werknemers is die gereedskap wat diensorganisasies gebruik om ‘n wins in die gasvryheidsbedryf te maak. Die restaurantbedryf is ‘n hoogs mededingende omgewing en bestuurders kan nie swak dienslewering deur hul werknemers bekostig nie. Werknemers wat hoë vlakke van werksbetrokkenheid (job engagement) en lae vlakke van werksuitbranding (job burnout) ervaar, toon superieure prestasie en verhoogde finansiële opbrengste. Die hoofdoelwit van hierdie navorsingstudie was om ‘n strukturele model te ontwikkel en empiries te toets om die antesedente van variansie in werksbetrokkenheid en werksuitbranding onder eerstelynkelners by franchise x in die Wes-Kaap te verklaar. Daarbenewens het die navorsingstudie ook ondersoek of werknemers van deep acting of surface acting gebruik maak wanneer hulle deur emosionele arbeidseise gekonfronteer word. Die studie het ondersoek of sekere persoonlikheidseienskappe meer geskik is vir die bedryf deur te kyk of hulle verwant is aan werksbetrokkenheid of werksuitbranding. In hierdie navorsingstudie is gedeeltelike kleinstekwadrate (partial least squares (PLS)) analises gebruik om die geformuleerde hipoteses te toets. Kwantitatiewe data is verkry vanaf 333 eerstelynkelners wat vir franchise x in die Wes-Kaap werk. Die data is spesifiek vir die doelwitte van die studie versamel en deelname was vrywillig. Die opname is in harde kopie onder die bestuurders van franchise x versprei. Bestuurders het ‘n week gehad om die opname onder hulle eerstelynkelners te versprei vir voltooiing. Die data is as vertroulik beskou en anonimiteit is verseker. Die opname is in vyf dele verdeel. Die eerste gedeelte het die deelnemers se biografiese en indiensnemingsinligting gemeet. Die daaropvolgende dele het spesifieke latente veranderlikes gemeet wat van toepassing was op die studie deur van betroubare en geldige meetinstrumente gebruik te maak. Hierdie instrumente was die Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) (Naude & Rothmann, 2004), die Ultrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) (Schaufeli & Bakker, 2004), HEXACO-PI-R (Ashton, Lee, Pozzebon, Visser & Worth, 2010) en die Emotional Labour Scale (ELS) (Van Gelderen, Konijn & Bakker, 2011). Data is aan ‘n reeks statistiese analises onderwerp. Die bevindinge werp lig op die belangrikheid daarvan dat eerstelynkelners in franchise x se takke in die Wes-Kaap werksbetrokkenheid ervaar. Die resultate toon dat pro-aktiewe bestuur van werk en persoonlike hulpbronne en werk aanvraag kan lei tot gewenste resultate soos hoër werksbetrokkenheid en finansiële groei. Die studie verskaf Suid-Afrikaanse bedryfsielkundiges met belangrike insigte in die presenterende probleem in die gasvryheidsbedryf. Met verwysing na die bestuursimplikasies en die aanbevole ingrypings, kan bedryfsielkundiges die behoud van werksbetrokkenheid en ‘n vermindering van werksuitbranding onder eerstelynkelners in die gasvryheidsbedryf verseker.

Nowadays, we can often see on TV news or Internet media about the handsome and beauty, no matter what happened, as long as it is the handsome and beauty, will arise echoes, perhaps because people are longing for beauty. According to the Halo Effect, if people are attracted by a particular appearance, they always have a positive impression on the character. Many restaurants noticed that people love to see the beautiful things, so they often use highly attractive service staff as propaganda means, although this seems like a correct method, how to service customers is still one of the most important means in the service-oriented industry. Therefore this study used a Quasi-Experimental Design quantitative research, and found that service personnel''s physical attractiveness may have a positive effect on repurchase intention and customer satisfaction, however, the service of service personnel cannot influence the positive relationship between the service personnel physical attractiveness between repurchase intention and customer satisfaction.

Intermittency places a variety of burdens upon households, including inadequate quantities of supply at the household level, unpredictability of water utilities in making water available, and a disproportionate time burden on poorer households. For many intermittent water systems, the availability of water is controlled by valvemen who turn access on/off to various portions of their service area. Using this information, NextDrop sends notifications via mobile phones to customers as to when water is likely to be available. Although a pilot of NextDrop was successfully implemented in Hubli-Dharwad in India, NextDrop faced significant challenges when expanding to Bangalore. This case study investigates how a breakdown in the information pipeline, as well as corresponding human factors, prevented adoption of NextDrop in Bangalore. Specifically, randomized controlled trials found that valvemen sent reports of their activities to NextDrop only 70% of the time. Even when NextDrop passed messages onto customers, only 38% of customers reported receiving notifications, primarily because either the household “waiters” for water, usually women, did not have daytime access to the mobile phone registered with NextDrop or the notifications are buried under the many other solicitations and informational messages regularly received via SMS. Valvemen were further studied through observation and semi-structured interviews to understand their incentives for complying with NextDrop.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Background: Indonesia is one of the countries affected by COVID-19 pandemic. In overcoming this pandemic, the government waives the service fees for COVID-19 patients. It provides an opportunity for hospitals serving COVID-19 patients to submit claims for treatment financing to the Ministry of Health. There are technical guidelines for payment; there are still frequent problems, leading to a dispute. This is also experienced by the University of Indonesia Hospital (RSUI) as one of the COVID-19 referral hospitals. This study aimed to provide an overview of the claim problem encountered and their solution. Subjects and Method: This was a descriptive study conducted at University of Indonesia Hospital from July, 2020. The theme of this study was problem in claiming payments for COVID-19 patients. Several informants were selected for this study included: hospital claim officers, medical record units, inpatient units and registration units. The data were collected by observation, in-depth interview, disputed claim data. Results: The results of the investigation found that the problem of dispute claims for COVID-19 in RSUI was dominated by the incompleteness of filling in administrative files as evidence of service practice for patients in the field, such as incomplete ventilator usage curves (7.8%), swab results (3.9%), and rapid test (6.8%) which was not listed. Conclusion: Discipline needs to be applied in the completeness of documents, and a clear flow of patient care is required to avoid incomplete records.

Abstract:
Fish farming in exposed and offshore waters are potential solutions to many biological and environmental problems currently facing marine aquaculture. Offshore fish farming will require development of larger, more complex marine structures and elaborate logistical support systems, including service vessels. While innovation in concept design for these systems are currently awarded by regulators, production costs that are substantially higher than for existing fish farming system represent a barrier to competitiveness. In this paper, we show that offshore fish farming can become competitive when global seafood demand grows, due to cost-learning dynamics previously documented in a wide range of industries. Using historical time series for production and costs, we find evidence of cost-learning curves in existing aquaculture, suggesting that unit capital expenditures decline at a given rate every time cumulative production capacity doubles. To investigate the potential for offshore fish farming, we develop a simple system dynamics model of key trends and important feedback mechanisms that drive investments in technologies for offshore fish farming. The analysis indicates that policies that reward novel concepts, like license waivers or subsidies, can trigger cost-learning dynamics and move offshore fish farming towards competitiveness. We also find that design novelty may limit the cost reductions that accrue from cost-learning effects. Following the quantitative results, we discuss how the forecasted cost-learning dynamics can be exploited under a regulatory regime that favors innovative concepts. Finally, we reflect on the opportunities an emerging offshore fish farming industry provides for ship design and for the re-use of vessels that have become stranded assets.

Abstract:
In Australia, 6000 military personnel leave the military each year, of whom at least 30% become unemployed and 19% experience underemployment, figures five times higher than the national average (Australian Government 2020). Believed to be one of life's most intense transitions, veterans find it difficult to align their military skills and knowledge to the civilian labour market upon leaving military service (Cable, Cathcart and Almond 2021; AVEC 2020). // Providing authentic opportunities that allow veterans to gain meaningful employment upon (re)entering civilian life raises their capability to incorporate accrued military skills, knowledge, and expertise. Despite acknowledging that higher education is a valuable transition pathway, Australia has no permanently federally funded post-service higher education benefit supporting veterans to improve their civilian employment prospects. Since World War II, American GIs have accessed a higher education scholarship program (tuition fees, an annual book allowance, monthly housing stipend) (Defense 2019). A similar offering is available in Canada, the UK, and Israel. // We are proposing that the AVSP would be the first comprehensive, in-depth study investigating the ongoing academic success of Australia's modern veterans as they study higher and vocational education. It consists of four distinct components: // Scholarships: transitioning/separated veterans apply for one of four higher education scholarship options (under/postgraduate): 100% tuition fees waived // $750/fortnight living stipend for the degree duration // 50/50 tuition/living stipend // Industry-focused scholarships. // Research: LAS Consulting, Open Door, Flinders University, over seven years, will follow the scholarship recipients to identify which scholarship option is the most relevant/beneficial for Australian veterans. The analysis of the resultant quantitative and qualitative data will demonstrate that providing federal financial support to student veterans studying higher education options: Improves the psychosocial and economic outcomes for veterans // Reduces the need for financial and medical support of participants // Reduces the national unemployed and underemployed statistics for veterans // Provides a positive return of investment (ROI) to the funder // May increase Australian Defence Force (ADF) recruitment and retention rates // Career Construction: LAS Consulting will sit, listen, guide, and help build an emotional connection around purpose, identity, education and employment opportunities back into society. So, the veteran can move forward, crystalise a life worth living, and find their authentic self, which is led by their values in the civilian world. // Mentoring: Each participant receives a mentor throughout their academic journey.

"Machine GTAW Ambient Temperature Temper Bead Technique for Ni-Based Weld Overlay Repairs of Nuclear Components: Assessment of Hydrogen Cracking by Implant Test." In 2017 25th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icone25-67160.

Abstract:
Repair by welding of a metallic component may be required during original fabrication, following in-service inspection or during planned maintenance operations. In some instances a post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is required. Codes/standards that cover the repair of or alterations on nuclear components, such as Section XI of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel code or the French RSE-M nuclear code for in-service inspection, include provisions for waiving the need for a PWHT by using a welding technique referred to as ‘temper bead’, but in the case of in-service repairs, the practical challenges may make any heating cycles, including pre or post-heating, undesirable. So, starting from the existing temper bead procedures, repair solutions that do not require preheat, PWHT or post-heating, have been developed, particularly in the nuclear sector, referred to as ‘ambient temperature temper bead’ (ATTB). One of the most common applications of the ATTB technique is the deposition of full structural weld overlays (FSWOLs), made with Ni-based consumables on ferritic base materials, to repair piping components and nozzles susceptible to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) and to mitigate the risk of further cracking. The ATTB technique is currently permitted for the repair of nuclear power plant components by the ASME code via Code Cases N-638-8 and N-740-2, provided the machine gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process is used, and it has been successfully applied on various occasions. However, the technique is currently not permitted by the RSE-M code. As the current rules in the RSE-M codes were established following experimental programs based on implant testing, the same type of tests would be expected by the French nuclear regulator to justify any changes. This paper presents the results of a research project carried out to explore the possibility of justifying the introduction of ATTB using the machine GTAW welding process to deposit austenitic weld overlays into the RSE-M code, based on implant testing. Externally loaded tests according to ISO 17642-3 (Implant test) were carried out to determine the effect of different preheat and stress levels on the cold cracking susceptibility in the parent metal. Test loads representative of actual residual stresses were determined through a review of published literature on the residual stresses associated with ATTB FSWOLs. Test pieces were obtained by depositing single beads with Inconel 52 filler metal (AWS A5.14 ERNiCrFe-7) on ASME SA 508 Grade 4N substrate. Conclusions are presented with regard to the possibility to waive preheat or to reduce the minimum preheat temperature specified for temper bead repairs, with respect to the current RSE-M code requirements. Recommendations for further work required to support a request for modification of the RSE-M code are provided.

Abstract:
Introduction: A substantial number of young women (YW) is affected by breast cancer (BC), an important cause of death in young age. The definition of a YW in a BC context varies in the literature. Considering specific characteristics, such as reproductive factors and hereditary risk, we defined ultra young women (UYW) as women aged 30 years or less. Despite the fact that specialized centers are increasingly providing assistance to UYW with BC, important aspects of the disease in this age remain controversial. Objective: Evaluate clinical and epidemiological characteristics of BC in UYW in the State of São Paulo. Methods: We conducted a multicentric, observational, retrospective study of consecutive BC in UYW patients in nine Services. Only patients with infiltrating BC aged 30 years or less were included. The following data were collected: age, body mass index, parity, hormonal contraception use, history of breast/ovarian cancer in the family, pathological tumor category and clinical staging. Frequency parameters were estimated. The research protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of all collaborative centers. An informed consent was waived. Results: The study population included 293 patients. Age varied between 19 and 30 years (mean 27.3; median 28). Considering body weight, we found that 37.1% of the patients were overweight or obese. 58.6% were current or past HC users. Nulliparity was referred in 44.4%. 246 cases reported family history of BC which was verified in first degree relatives in 37.9%, while 66 patients referred BC in any member of the family. Only 33 patients went through a multigene testing panel: pathogenic inherited variants were detected in 37.5%. Remarkably, locally advanced tumors were diagnosed in 57.1%. Tumor sizes at diagnosis were: T1-11.8%, T2-33.8%, T3-31.6% T4-19.9% and T4d-2.9%. Clinical axillary lymph nodes evaluation revealed: N0-35%, N1-42.8%, N2-18.7%, and N3-3.5%. Systemic metastases at diagnosis were observed in 29 cases, that were classified as stage IV “de novo” (9.8%). The metastases sites were multiple in 31% and the clinical staging in the diagnosis are later. Conclusion: An unfavorable picture was observed in UYW with BC. We found a high rate of advanced neoplasias, with adverse clinical prognostic factors. To change the present-day scenario, we need to educate the population, enhancing BC awareness and self-body attention since adolescence, besides stimulating the adoption of a healthy lifestyle.
