Yonk, Ryan M. "Building a Legacy? North Dakota’s Oil and Gas Legacy Fund an Exercise in Public Policy and Political Action". Public Administration Research 12, n. 2 (9 luglio 2023): 22. http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/par.v12n2p22.

Abstract (sommario):

From at least 2006, Western North Dakota experienced an oil boom that resulted in a dramatic increase in economic activity, and tax revenue. In response to this boom, North Dakota, through a constitutional ballot measure, established the Legacy Fund. This fund reserved 30% of monthly oil tax revenue collected by the state for future use. On July 1, 2017, the State Legislature, per the constitutional provisions creating the Legacy fund, became able to spend the interest (as well as some of the principal, with numerous limitations) from the fund. How to allocate these funds has become a state-wide public finance policy and political issue. Governor Burgum and others have proposed a variety of ways to use the funds on public projects and tax relief. Decisions about the long-term purpose of the fund and how best to use its earnings have increased in urgency with both the availability of the funds and the volatility of oil and other tax revenues. Deciding how to best use the Legacy Fund is both a fiscal and political question. Legislators must sort out how the interest earnings will be used, who should benefit, or if the fund should be used at all. I explore how these decisions are made, the possible implications of those decisions, the proposals that have been put forward, and propose a framework for how these decisions might be made.

Abstract (sommario):

Home schooling has been part of the American education system since this country's beginning. In reviewing the history of home schooling and accompanying legislative action, there is a definite trend by state legislatures to liberalize laws related to home schooling. Students with disabilities, however, pose significantly greater challenges for parents who choose home schooling and have created a new area of litigation in the last 20 years. After summarizing statutes in the rural states of North Dakota and Minnesota, this article discusses several cases to illustrate the refinement of the interpretation of the intersection of home schooling and special education. Implications and recommendations for practice are included.

Abstract (sommario):

Windbreaks are an essential part of rural and urban living in the northern Great Plains. They provide protection to crops and livestock from wind by modifying windchill factors, lowering soil erosion, and conserving soil moisture. Around farmsteads and cities, benefits include energy conservation, control of snow deposits, and added aesthetic values. In urban centers windbreaks are important as aesthetic screens, living snow fences, noise barriers, and sites of air filtration.Tree establishment on the prairies can be challenging with low rainfall and cold winter temperatures. A windbreak demonstration program began in 1989 across the state of North Dakota. The demonstration program is a joint effort between local soil conservation districts, extension service, and 275 landowners. The demonstrations were designed to compare new and traditional tree establishment techniques. The program goal is to gather data from various demonstration sites and transfer the information to land owners, thereby increasing tree survival and establishment in windbreak plantings.

Abstract (sommario):

In response to suboptimal breastfeeding rates, North Dakota added a provision to SB 2344 (public indecency legislation) creating an Infant Friendly business designation for employers providing specified lactation accommodations to employees. However, there has been no evaluation of this designation to determine effectiveness. The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of the Infant Friendly business designation in North Dakota on breastfeeding continuation rates within the context of the social ecological model (SEM). Between November 2016 and March 2017, an 85-item online questionnaire, designed using the SEM, was distributed to working women across the state using various sampling methods. T tests, analysis of variance, and regression were used to analyze results. Designated (intervention) and nondesignated (control) businesses were targeted. There was no statistically significant difference in breastfeeding duration between designated and nondesignated businesses. There was a 2-month difference in duration between continually designated businesses and those with lapsing designations. Twenty-eight percent of the women working for Infant Friendly businesses were aware that their businesses were designated, indicating a lack of awareness regarding the designation. The designation is a starting point for worksite breastfeeding support. A policy promotion plan based on the SEM targeting individual awareness and employee education may improve the designation’s effectiveness.

Abstract (sommario):

Background: To investigate information sources utilized in pharmacists’ assessment of population-based health needs and/or community changes; and the association between information sources utilized and reported completion of continuing professional education topics. Methods: In 2017; licensed pharmacists (n = 1124) in North Dakota; South Dakota; Minnesota; Iowa; and Nebraska completed a questionnaire on continuing professional education and information sources on population-based health needs and community changes. Data were entered; cleaned and imported into Stata 11.1. Census Bureau county-level population density data were used to classify local area characteristics. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed. Results: Most sources of primary; county-level data on population-based health needs or community changes were minimally utilized. Pharmacists in more rural areas were statistically more likely to use local health professionals; local non-health professionals; and/or the state health department compared to pharmacists in less rural areas. Pharmacists reporting higher use of population-based information sources were more likely to have completed continuing education in the past 12 months for all 21 surveyed topics; 13 significantly so. Conclusions: There is a reliance of pharmacists on information from local health and non-health professionals for information on population-based health needs and/or community changes. Utilization of health departments and other primary information sources was associated with increased rates of completion of an array of continuing professional education topics. Expanding utilization of evidence-driven information sources would improve pharmacists’ ability to better identify and respond to population-based health needs and/or community changes through programs and services offered; and tailor continuing professional education to population-based health needs.

Abstract (sommario):

Environmental academic programs in U.S. institutions of higher education have traditionally lacked definition of their nature and unifying principles. In order to ascertain how these programs are presently constituted in U.S. institutions of higher education, we surveyed 1050 environmental programs/departments between November 2013 and March of 2014. The states with the highest number of those programs/departments were New York (100), Pennsylvania (92), California (76), Ohio (56), Massachusetts (54), while those with the lowest numbers are Oklahoma, and Utah (4), Delaware (3), Arkansas, Hawaii, South Dakota, and Wyoming (2), North Dakota (1), and Idaho (0). However, when the state population is taken into account and the number of programs per 1,000,000 inhabitants is calculated, the results vary greatly for the ones that were at the top in absolute numbers but remain basically the same for those that were at the bottom in absolute number. Thus, the states with the highest number of programs/departments per 1,000,000 inhabitants are Vermont (30.364), Montana (15.160), Maine (15.056), the District of Columbia (14.957), Alaska (14.080), and Rhode Island (10.451), and at the bottom we find Idaho (0), Arkansas (0.686), Oklahoma (1.066), Texas (1.352), Florida (1.436), Utah (1.447), Hawaii (1.470), and North Dakota (1.487). The names Environmental Science and Environmental Studies are, by far, the most common ones being applied to these programs, accounting for 52.40% of the programs in our study. Environmental programs are also housed in departments of Biology/Ecology/Conservation (9.93%), Policy/Analysis/Planning (7.19%), and Geology (4.79%). Between 1900 (the year of the first program was created) and 1958, only 14 programs were established. For the period 1959-1999, there is a dramatic increase in the number of programs. There are two big "waves" in the creation of programs: one between 1965 and 1976 (with a high peak in 1970) and another starting 1988 and, probably, continuing to this date, with a peak in 1997. Representatives of the programs surveyed cited students and faculty demand and job market opportunities as the most common reasons behind the creation of these programs. The high diversity of names and emphases found in this study is consistent with the premise that Environmental Studies is a field where there is a lack of unifying principles and clarity of what environmental studies programs should be.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose Although disparities in colorectal cancer (CRC) with regard to race, socioeconomic status, and geography are well documented, the extent to which these factors contribute to premature death resulting from CRC nationwide and by state is unknown. Patients and Methods We calculated age-standardized CRC death rates for three broad educational categories as a marker of socioeconomic status by race/ethnicity and state among individuals age 25 to 64 years from 2008 through 2010. We also calculated the proportion of premature death resulting from CRC that could potentially be averted in each state by applying the average death rate for the five states with the lowest rates among the most educated whites (Connecticut, North Dakota, Utah, Vermont, and Wisconsin) to all populations. Results Compared with those with the most education, those with the least education had significantly higher CRC death rates in virtually all states for each racial/ethnic group. For example, rate ratios ranged from 1.15 (95% CI, 0.66 to 2.01) in Delaware to 3.18 (95% CI, 2.01 to 5.05) in New Mexico among whites. Overall, half the premature deaths resulting from CRC that occurred nationwide from 2008 through 2010, or 7,690 deaths annually, would have been avoided if everyone had experienced the lowest death rates of the most educated whites. More premature deaths could be averted in southern states (60% to 70%) than in northern and western states (30% to 40%). Restricting the analyses to persons age 50 to 64 years, for whom CRC screening is recommended, resulted in similar findings. Conclusion The majority of premature deaths from CRC in southern states and half these deaths nationwide are due to racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographic inequalities.

Abstract (sommario):

Educators often struggle when teaching cellular and molecular processes because typically they have only two-dimensional tools to teach something that plays out in four dimensions. Learning research has demonstrated that visualizing processes in three dimensions aids learning, and animations are effective visualization tools for novice learners and aid with long-term memory retention. The World Wide Web Instructional Committee at North Dakota State University has used these research results as an inspiration to develop a suite of high-quality animations of molecular and cellular processes. Currently, these animations represent transcription, translation, bacterial gene expression, messenger RNA (mRNA) processing, mRNA splicing, protein transport into an organelle, the electron transport chain, and the use of a biological gradient to drive adenosine triphosphate synthesis. These animations are integrated with an educational module that consists of First Look and Advanced Look components that feature captioned stills from the animation representing the key steps in the processes at varying levels of complexity. These animation-based educational modules are available via the World Wide Web at http://vcell.ndsu.edu/animations . An in-class research experiment demonstrated that student retention of content material was significantly better when students received a lecture coupled with the animations and then used the animation as an individual study activity.

Abstract (sommario):

Background Prior research shows that teachers’ working conditions are important for teacher and student outcomes, such as teacher retention and student achievement. Because National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) can be effective in the classroom and as instructional leaders, they are well positioned to create favorable working conditions for all teachers. Therefore, having NBCTs at a school could strengthen working conditions in ways that result in improved teacher and student outcomes. For positive outcomes to be realized, however, the concentration of NBCTs at a school may need to increase. No empirical study has directly examined the relationship between the concentration of NBCTs at the school level, and teacher and student outcomes—a gap in knowledge that the current study begins to address. Purpose The study examines the relationship between the concentration of NBCTs at a school, operationalized as the proportion of NBCTs in teaching roles relative to all teachers, and student achievement in mathematics and English language arts in Grades 4–8 and teacher retention in Grades K–8. The outcome of teacher retention is for non-NBCTs. Therefore, it represents a spillover effect of NBCTs. Setting The study was conducted in North Carolina and Kentucky. Research Design The study is correlational. Data Collection and Analysis The study's data include statewide administrative records from North Carolina and Kentucky for 2014–15. Multilevel models are used to analyze outcomes, after controlling for prior year teacher, student, and school characteristics. Findings The evidence of the relationship between the concentration of NBCTs at a school and student achievement is not compelling: We found some statistically significant relationships in both states, but the estimates are inconsistent and small in statistical and practical terms. The direct relationship between the concentration of NBCTs and retention of non-NBCTs is not significant in either state. However, the concentration of NBCTs is positively and significantly associated with the retention of non-NBCTs at schools serving a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students in North Carolina compared with schools serving a low proportion of economically disadvantaged students. The estimate of this relationship is the strongest in the current study. The relationship in Kentucky is not significant. Conclusions/Recommendations The pattern of results for teacher retention in North Carolina in the current study is encouraging. It suggests that increasing the concentration of NBCTs may be one possible avenue for keeping teachers teaching at the same schools, including schools serving a large proportion of economically disadvantaged students where teacher turnover tends to be high, negatively affecting teachers and students. Overall, we conclude that the study's findings are sufficiently compelling to warrant additional research to examine NBCT concentration using multiple years of data and with more rigor than the current study could do.

Abstract (sommario):

The North Dakota State University, USA, capstone course was developed as a unique model in response to the effort of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology, USA, to streamline and improve design instruction in the curriculum and has steadily evolved to keep pace with the ever-changing technology and the expectations of the profession and the society we serve. A capstone design course by definition should be a design experience for students in the final year before graduation integrating all major design concepts they have learned up until then in the program. Carefully chosen real world projects with design content in all sub-disciplines of civil engineering are assigned in this team-taught course. Faculty and practicing professionals make presentations on design process; project management; leadership in an engineering environment; and public policy; global perspectives in engineering; and professional career and licensure. Practicing professionals also critique the final student presentations. Students work in teams with number of faculty serving as technical consultants, and a faculty mentor for each team to provide non-technical guidance and direction. The course requires students to demonstrate mastery of the curriculum and to work with others in a team environment. Course assessment includes evaluation of the final design, presentations, written technical reports, project design schedule, a project design journal, and reaction papers.

Abstract (sommario):

In this historical examination, Amato Nocera, Kyle P. Steele, and John Hensley argue that the development of Black rural high schools in the decades leading up to the Brown v. Board of Education decision represented the dynamic between standardization, white supremacy, and Black self-definition that has shaped US education reform. Focusing on the interplay of state-level education administrators, local white officials, and Black community members, the authors’ analysis of Black rural high schools draws on archival data from DuBois High School in rural Wake Forest, North Carolina, to broaden the literature on the history of the American high school and contribute to an understanding of the Black Freedom Movement by recognizing secondary schools as vital to institution building in the Jim Crow South.

Abstract As older adults face increased infectious disease risks, understanding barriers to vaccination is vital. The current study examines associations between vaccination barriers, demographics, and vaccination behaviors among older adults (65+) in North Dakota, a rural state with low vaccination rates. A mailed survey, including closed- and open-ended questions regarding vaccine beliefs and behaviors was conducted with 901 older adults. Potential vaccine barriers (Disliking shots, Concerns about cost, Lacking doctor recommendation, Lacking transportation, and Uncertainty how to schedule) were rated on a four-point Likert-type scale (1=Strongly Disagree; 4=Strongly Agree). Vaccine behaviors were assessed with measures of uptake for influenza, shingles, pneumonia, and SARS-CoV-2 immunizations. While endorsement of perceived barriers was relatively low, the greatest perceived barriers were cost and disliking shots. Regarding demographic variation: lower income was associated with cost concerns, lower education and rurality were associated with lacking doctor recommendation, and lower education was associated with uncertainty how to schedule. Disliking shots was significantly associated with uptake for shingles and pneumonia. Cost concerns was associated with lower shingles uptake, whereas lacking doctor recommendation was associated with lower uptake for pneumonia and SARS-CoV-2 booster. No barriers were associated with influenza or SARS-CoV-2 initial immunization uptake. While perceived vaccination barriers were low, certain populations of older adults are more at-risk of experiencing barriers, suggesting intervention opportunities. Moreover, the relevance of barrier type varied by disease, suggesting the need for disease-specific interventions. These findings suggest that practitioners should consider the diverse factors influencing barriers to older adults’ vaccination receipt.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Bison (Bison bison) restoration has profound implications for ecological, economic and cultural domains, especially restoration into their former historic ranges. Climate change and climate variability, however, threaten sustainable restoration progress. The historic range of bison centered on the prairies of the Great Plains but spanned from Alaska to Mexico and from the Pacific coast to Florida and Pennsylvania, land which is now primarily privately held. Today, 63% of the 184,000 privately owned bison are located in the northern Great Plains, with 12,000 additional bison in the public sector, and 20,000 additional bison in each of the non-profit NGO and Tribal sectors. This multi-sectoral production-conservation system is referred to as the bison management system (BMS) and all sectors are intricately and economically linked through the production market and the cross-transferal of surplus animals. Bison are native ecological keystone species in native prairies and help to restore ecosystems. Their innate wallowing behavior produces shallow bare-soil depressions which create habitat for many other prairie-inhabiting species. Because bison create these wallows by excavating, urinating, and rolling, they also open the seed bank and concentrate nutrient inputs, and in turn increase plant biodiversity in the immediately adjacent landscape. Economically, the bison market has grown over the past 20 years, with bison market returns 1.5–3.3 times that of cattle. Finally, bison repopulation on Tribal lands increases food sovereignty, enhances economic stability, and revitalizes cultural connections to Tribal lands. The newly established Center of Excellence for Bison Studies at South Dakota State University aims to advance research, education, and outreach that address issues associated with each the ecological, economic, and cultural domains throughout the BMS, and is especially focused on restoration challenges associated with climate change and climate variability in conservation and production settings.

Abstract (sommario):

This study involves the surveying of current high school coaches in the state of North Dakota who are certified by the National Federation of High Schools through the completion of the required courses, including “The Fundamentals of Coaching”, “Concussion Diagnosis and Prevention”, as well as CPR, First Aid and AED certification in a current, active status. The participant coaches (n=113), were sent a survey through email using the Qualtrics Survey Program. This survey contained documentation of demographic information, coaching history, opinions regarding issues in coaching and how they are/can be addressed. This survey also discussed influences in the coaches life and how they have shaped their coaching careers. Coaching education and mentoring suggestions are also offered by the subjects as ways to improve the coaching job field as well as struggles they see mentoring bringing if a program were to be introduced.Results indicated that the majority of coaches would be open to mentoring programs in their school. This includes communication sessions, coaching education, sport specific coaching development, and time for personal interaction with other coaches aimed at creating relationships and discussing professional successes, coaching issues, and questions they have. Results also show a trend happening. There is a shortage of coaches with 11-20 years of experience and a large number of head coaches that have less than five years of experience. This trend is hinting to coaches leaving the profession after ten years, with not a lot of experienced people left to take over. Young coaches lead to a large learning curve, immaturity with dealing with certain situations, and lack the experience of actually teaching the game itself.

Abstract (sommario):

Introduction Approximately 15,000 individuals in the Midwest live with sickle cell disease (SCD), a lifelong, painful disorder with complications and comorbidities. Providers self-report limited knowledge and confidence in treating patients with SCD, leading to limited access to providers knowledgeable about evidence-based management and treatment guidelines and therefore poor health outcomes for patients. Sickle Treatment and Outcomes Research in the Midwest (STORM) is a regional sickle cell network, established to improve outcomes for individuals with SCD living in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin. One goal of STORM is to increase provider knowledge about evidence-based management of SCD. STORM TeleECHO, a replication of the Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) telementoring model, was launched in March 2016 as an innovative, lifespan approach to provider education in the Midwest. In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 public health pandemic, the STORM coordinating team quickly pivoted to host additional COVID-19 and SCD focused ECHO sessions. Methods STORM TeleECHO virtual clinics include didactic presentations with a curriculum based on the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute Evidence-Based Management of Sickle Cell Disease guidelines, as well as a de-identified case discussion presented by providers seeking feedback on the management of challenging clinical scenarios. Other additional medical and psychosocial issues have also been presented. Participants join the monthly hour-long sessions using Zoom© or telephone. COVID-19 and SCD sessions followed the same format and topics focused on emerging medical and psychosocial pandemic issues, such as: serology, multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children, the COVID and SCD surveillance registry, blood safety and transfusion practices, telemedicine, back to school issues, mental health, and Sickle Cell Disease Association of America patient and provider advisories. These sessions also provided an open forum for this hematology/primary care provider community of practice to share rapidly changing clinical practices and patient resources. Results Since March 2016, 58 sessions have been held with over 175 unique attendees. Evaluation data shows 100% of providers will continue participating and would recommend STORM TeleECHO to a colleague. Over 80% reported learning best practice guidelines for SCD; developing clinical expertise; and applying knowledge into practice. Data analysis has shown a statistically significant increase in provider confidence to identify eligible candidates and prescribing hydroxyurea. STORM has awarded over 750 CME credits (since 2016), over 300 MOC Part II from the American Board of Pediatrics and the American Board of Internal Medicine (since 2017) and 70 CNE credits (since 2019). Since March 2020, the 11 special COVID-19 sessions have averaged 42 attendees per session- nearly a 150% increase compared to the standing ECHO sessions in previous years (Table 1). Over 115 unique providers have attended at least one COVID-19 session, with 61 participants being new to STORM TeleECHO. Participants have cumulatively attended an average of 4 COVID-19 sessions and represented 17 states and Canada. On average, 93% of respondents rated the COVID-19 STORM TeleECHO sessions as "very good" or "excellent". Discussion STORM TeleECHO has been instrumental in increasing knowledge and comfort of providers caring for patients with SCD. Data shows that STORM TeleECHO has the potential to improve outcomes and decrease health disparities in this underserved and medically vulnerable population. Moreover, STORM COVID-19 and SCD TeleECHO session participants have been highly satisfied with this educational forum for addressing emerging issues during the public health emergency. Our program quickly and successfully leveraged the existing STORM TeleECHO framework to expand educational forums for this community of practice. The continued increase in participants sustained throughout the COVID-19 ECHO's has demonstrated the need and interest for this educational forum to share practice changes, new clinical protocols, patient education and other resources. While the regular STORM TeleECHO sessions will continue, there are also plans to continue the additional COVID-ECHO sessions for the foreseeable future.

Abstract (sommario):

Objective: The purpose of this study was to conduct a random continuing professional development (CPD) portfolio audit to assess the portfolios of pharmacists who completed CPD training in the state of North Carolina and reported adopting it in place of the annual 15-hour continuing education (CE) requirement when applying for re-licensure. Methods: The NC Board of Pharmacy (NCBOP) staff randomly selected 30 pharmacists to provide CPD portfolio documentation to the Board electronically or in paper format. This documentation included their completed learning plan, a learning activity worksheet for each completed activity, and the Accreditation Council on Pharmacy Education (ACPE) universal activity number for the CPD training program attended. The Task Force used a multicomponent audit tool to assess each portfolio. Results: Eighty percent of portfolios had at least 15 hours of learning reported. Portfolio assessments indicated an average of 5 learning objectives per individual. Based on the scale of 1 to 5, the Measurable and Specific sections of the objectives scored the lowest with an average score of 3 on both sections. An overall assessment of “adequate” or “comprehensive” was noted for 60% of the portfolios. Conclusion: Pharmacists completing CPD training are capable of following the CPD process with some potential challenges in documentation. Information submitted to the board of pharmacy is considered sufficient for license renewal purposes.

Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to determine the protective effects of antioxidants against oxidative damage in PC12 cells when treated with beta-amyloid (BA), a common source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in older adult brains. Methods PC12 cells (2 × 105 cells/mL) were treated with secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG, 50 or 100 μM) or control antioxidants, superoxide dismutase (SOD, 100 U/mL) or catalase (100 U/mL), for 2 hours, then treated with 10 μM BA for 24 hours. After antioxidant and BA treatments, ROS and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured using assay kits. Differences in ROS and LDH between control (no antioxidant and BA treatments) and experimental groups were analyzed by Student's t-tests. Results Cells treated with BA without an antioxidant treatment showed a significant reduction in LDH (p < 0.01) when compared to the control, but did not differ in ROS. Cells treated with BA and catalase showed no significant difference in LDH. LDH and ROS were significantly reduced in BA and SOD treated cells (p < 0.01 and < 0.05, respectively) compared to the control. However, LDH or ROS in both SOD and catalase treated cells, either with or without BA treatment, was not different compared to the control. BA and SDG (50 μM or 100 μM) treated cells showed significant reductions in ROS, but no significant difference in LDH compared to the control. Conclusions An antioxidant, SDG, found in flaxseed shows promise for reducing oxidative stress in cells.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Objectives Beta-amyloid (BA) is toxic to cells, and leads to cell damage, decreasing cell viability. Certain antioxidants, however, have been shown to prevent BA induced cell damages. The purpose of this research was to determine whether antioxidants affect the viability of PC12 cells that have been exposed to BA. Methods PC12 cells (2 × 105 cells/ml) were treated with secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) at either a concentration of 50 μM or 100 μM, superoxide dismutase (SOD) at a concentration of 100 U/ml, catalase (CAT) at a concentration of 100 U/ml, or a combination of both SOD and CAT for two hours. Following the antioxidant treatment, cells were treated with BA at a concentration of 10 μM for 24 hours. Once the cell treatments were completed, cell viability was measured using an MTT assay. Student's t-test was performed to determine significance (P < 0.05) between the treated cells and the control cells (no antioxidant or BA treatment). Results The results showed that there were no significant changes in cell viability in antioxidant treated cells that were exposed to BA compared to the control cells. The only cells that showed a significant change in cell viability compared to the control were the cells treated with SOD + CAT and no BA. Conclusions PC12 cells treated with antioxidants remained just as viable after being exposed to BA as control cells that were not treated with antioxidants or exposed to BA. These results indicate that SDG, an antioxidant found in flaxseed, as well as SOD and CAT, may be an effective method in the prevention of damage caused by BA in PC12 cells. Funding Sources This research was funded by the College of Human Sciences and Education at North Dakota State University.

Abstract (sommario):

The purpose of this study was to examine the professional contributions of Alice Carey Inskeep (1875-1942), who contributed significantly to music education through her positive and effective teaching, supervising, community service, and leadership in music education. Inskeep was born in Ottumwa, Iowa, and taught for five years in that city's school system after graduating from high school. She served as music supervisor in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for most of the remainder of her career, where she provided progressive leadership to the schools and community. She was one of three people appointed to plan the initial meeting in Keokuk, Iowa, for what eventually became MENC: The National Association for Music Education, and she was one of sixty-nine founding members of the organization in 1907. The Keokuk meeting served as an impetus for Inskeep to travel to Chicago, where she studied with several notable music educators. Later, she sat on the organization's nominating committee, the first Educational Council (precursor to the Music Education Research Council) board of directors, and provided leadership to two of the organization's affiliates, the North Central Division and the Iowa Music Educators Association. She served as a part-time or summer faculty member at Iowa State Normal School and Coe College in Cedar Falls and Cedar Rapids, Iowa, respectively, and the American Institute of Normal Methods in Evanston, Illinois, and Auburndale, Massachusetts.

Abstract (sommario):

Background/Context Milliken v. Bradley (1974) (Milliken I) is a pivotal Supreme Court case that halted a metropolitan school desegregation remedy between Detroit and 53 surrounding suburban school districts. In a 5-4 Supreme Court decision, the Milliken ruling was a significant retraction from the landmark Brown v. Board (1954) (Brown I) ruling that 20 years earlier deemed state imposed racially segregated schools unequal and unconstitutional. The effects of the Milliken decision neutralized school desegregation efforts in the United States, especially in the North. We, therefore, revisit the significance of Milliken over 40 years later. Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the context and contradictions in Milliken. In doing so, we review select federal school desegregation cases that informed the judicial and plaintiff's thinking in Milliken, and provide an in-depth description of the city of Detroit and Detroit Public Schools, prior to and during Milliken. We also analyze how the Milliken decision reinforced what we refer to as the “contours of privilege” as well as materialized property rights for white, suburban students and school districts at the expense of African American students in Detroit Public Schools. Research Design and Methods A qualitative content analysis was employed for this study. Our analysis draws on a review of existing literature about Milliken beginning in 1970, policy documents, legal filings, and local newspaper articles on the case. We use critical race theory's whiteness as property to guide this analysis. Conclusion The findings suggest that the Supreme Court protected white, suburban students’ educational rights and interests in Milliken. This was accomplished through the contours of privilege as reproduced in Milliken, which include acknowledging inequity but not disturbing racially inequitable systems, restricting black educational rights and perpetuating white privilege, and exercising the right to maintain dual educational systems. The study concludes with policy implications in light of Milliken.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose Enrolling in an academic discipline or selecting the college major choice is a dynamic process. Very few studies examine this aspect in India. This paper makes a humble attempt to fill this gap using NSSO 71st round data on social consumption on education. The purpose of this paper is to use multinomial regression model to study the different factors that influence course choice in higher education. The different factors (given the availability of information) considered relate to ability, gender, cost of higher education, socio-economic and geographical location. The results indicate that gender polarization is apparent between humanities and engineering. The predicated probabilities bring out the dichotomy between the choice of courses and levels of living expressed through consumption expenditures in terms of professional and non-professional courses. Predicted probabilities of course choices bring in a clear distinction between south and west regions preferring engineering and other professional courses, whereas north, east and NES prefer humanities. Design/methodology/approach The present paper follows the same approach as that of Turner and Bowen (1999). The Multinomial regression is specified as P ( M i = j ) = ( exp ( β j × X i ) / ∑ j − 1 5 exp ( β j × X i ) ) , where P (Mi=j) denotes the probability of choosing outcome j, the particular course/major choice that categorizes different disciplines. This response variable is specified with five categories: such as medicine, engineering, other professional courses, science and humanities. The authors’ primary interest is to determine the factors governing an individual’s decision to choose a particular subject field as compared to humanities. In other words, to make the system identifiable in the MLR, humanities is treated as a reference category. The vector Xi includes the set of explanatory variables and βj refers to the corresponding coefficients for each of the outcome j. From an aggregate perspective, the distribution of course choices is an important input to the skill (technical skills) composition of future workforce. In that sense, except humanities, the rest of the courses are technical-intensive courses; hence, humanities is treated as a reference category. Findings The results indicate that gender polarization is apparent between humanities and engineering. The predicated probabilities bring out the dichotomy between the choice of courses and levels of living expressed through consumption expenditures in terms of professional and non-professional courses. Predicted probabilities of course choices bring in a clear distinction between south and west regions preferring engineering and other professional courses, whereas north, east and NES prefer humanities. Research limitations/implications Predicted probabilities of course choices bring in a clear distinction between south and west regions preferring engineering and other professional courses, whereas north, east and NES prefer humanities. This course and regional imbalance need to be worked with multi-pronged strategies of providing both access to education and employment opportunities in other states. But the predicted probabilities of medicine and science remain similar across the board. Very few research studies on the determinants of field choice in higher education prevail in India. Research studies on returns to education by field or course choices hardly exist in India. These evidences are particularly important to know which course choices can support student loans, which can be the future area of work. Practical implications The research evidence is particularly important to know which course choices can support student loans, which can be the future area of work, as well as how to address the gender bias in the course choices. Social implications The paper has social implications in terms of giving insights into the course choices of students. These findings bring in implications for practice in their ability to predict the demand for course choices and their share of demand, not only in the labor market but also across regions. India has 36 states/UTs and each state/UT has a huge population size and large geographical areas. The choice of course has state-specific influence because of nature of state economy, society, culture and inherent education systems. Further, within the states, rural and urban variation has also a serious influence on the choice of courses. Originality/value The present study is a value addition on three counts. First, the choice of courses includes the recent trends in the preference over market-oriented/technical courses such as medicine, engineering and other professional courses (chartered accountancy and similar courses, courses from Industrial Training Institute, recognized vocational training institute, etc.). The choice of market-oriented courses has been examined in relation to the choice of conventional subjects. Second, the socio-economic background of students plays a significant role in the choice of courses. Third, the present paper uses the latest data on Social Consumption on Education.

Abstract (sommario):

INTRODUCTION. Modern maritime law is replete with a variety of legal acts of the interstate level, but the problems of ensuring security in this area remain relevant. At the international level, it is very difficult to establish a clear connection between the rules of law and actual legal relations. In order to strive to realize this, it is necessary to constantly analyze the real situation, trying to improve it or put it in order with the help of legal mechanisms, which is what this study is aimed at. This work is devoted to the analysis of relations in the field of merchant shipping from the point of view of ensuring security and stability in order to understand the possibility of improving international legal norms. As a territorial scope, interstate relations of Asian countries, including Russia, were considered as the most promising and interesting region from a scientific point of view, including in the context of increased measures of negative economic pressure on Russia from a number of states in North America and Europe. In the current political and economic conditions, not only the doctrine turns its attention to this direction, positioning the vector of domestic development as Eurasian, and sometimes completely Asian. MATERIALS AND METHODS. To prepare this work, an analysis of international legal acts, law enforcement practice was carried out, and expert assessments were monitored on various issues of ensuring the safety of navigation in the Asian region. The results obtained are based on the consideration of economic, political science, management and other literature in addition to the works of legal scholars. The comparative legal method was used, as well as deduction and synthesis. RESEARCH RESULTS. As a result, it is proposed to consider the possibility of taking additional measures aimed at expanding the functionality of the captain of the vessel to ensure the safety of maritime navigation, including countering illegal actions on board. At the level of the domestic legislation of the Russian Federation and the national legislations of other states of the region, establish clear rules for determining the law applicable on board a ship and extending the jurisdiction of the relevant state to relations arising on a ship. At the same time, the provisions of the domestic legislation of each state must comply with the rules of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of December 10, 1982. Grant broader powers to captains of ships in terms of implementing measures to prevent crimes on board the ship and transfer the person who committed the crime to representatives of foreign law enforcement agencies. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. International merchant shipping is a very complex area of public relations with a large number of entities that have different legal status and, accordingly, are related to each other in the most diverse ways. The main threats to the implementation of these activities are piracy, offenses on board a ship in isolation from the mainland, and illegal extraction of biological resources. Fishing by residents of some states in the territorial waters of others is a topical issue. This work is devoted to the study of the main trends in the development of the system for ensuring the safety of international navigation from different points of view. As an object of research, legal relations in the Asian region are taken as the most diverse from social, economic, political and other points of view. Also, the countries of Asia, including Russia, are among the most rapidly developing, which demands new approaches to the relationship between subjects that require their own legal regulation. As a result, separate proposals have been developed, subject to the adoption of which it will be possible to optimize law enforcement practice on ensuring the safety of navigation.

Abstract (sommario):

The worldwide economic system is increasingly becoming dependent on the ICT system. This article discusses ways in which ICT contributes to several aspects of global sustainability in the areas of Egovernment, E-learning, and E-commerce. The design employed in the study was a descriptive survey. The study was conducted in Aba North local government area of Abia State, Nigeria. Primary data was used for this research work. A sample size of 150 respondents was randomly selected for the study, covering the education sector using the Education Management Board Staff; commerce and industry, using a staff of the ministry; and government/public sector using the Local Government Staff; with each sector having a selected 50 respondents. The instrument used was a 12- item questionnaire on the adoption of ICT as a strategy for sustainable development using E-government, Elearning, and E-commerce as explanatory variables of ICT Adoption. The data collected for the study were analyzed using the appropriate percentage and the responses of the respondents were subjected to a rating scale using their boundary percentages as a basis for their score/rating. The finding revealed that Egovernment enhances the operations of the government and facilitates the effective delivery of government programs’-Learning provides convenient and flexible access to learning; whereas Commerce changed the way goods and services are produced, delivered, sold, and purchased. ICT has led to an ever-growing number of people and businesses connected digitally. Most Nigerians could participate in the International markets from the comfort of their offices and rooms.ICT adoptions have the potential to promote sustainability, productivity, and economic growth through job creation. We, therefore, conclude that ICT Adoption is a veritable tool for sustainable national development in Nigeria. We recommend among others, that Government and other stakeholders should mobilize resources for equipping businesses, education, and governmental sectors with ICT infrastructure and should also embark on Multilevel skill building (capacity improvement).

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic interrupted education and widened socioeconomic disparities. In Ontario, schools were closed for 28 weeks, longer than any other state, province, or territory in North America. School interruptions and remote learning are known to have short and long-term negative effects, which differ by socioeconomic status, on students’ academic outcomes. Objectives The objective of this study was to determine whether the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a greater achievement gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged secondary students in Ontario, Canada. Design/Methods We conducted a population-based observational study comparing scores from Ontario’s Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) standardized Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics from 2018-19 (pre-COVID year) and 2020-21 (COVID year). Our outcome measure was the EQAO Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics dot scores. The primary analysis used a mixed-effects multilevel model (with random effects for school board) to calculate the interaction between year and neighborhood family income on math scores (difference in income slope between years) while controlling for confounders. Secondary analyses examined other risk factors (e.g. parental education, newcomer status, and lone-parent home) and their impact during the pandemic. Results In the COVID year, 3,485 of 42,920 eligible Ontario Grade 9 students (8.1%) participated in the EQAO Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics from 38 of 72 school boards. In the pre-COVID year, within those same 38 school boards, 42,640 of 43,230 eligible Grade 9 students (98.6%) participated in the math assessment. We found that in the pre-COVID year, every one standard deviation increase (or decrease) in mean log-adjusted neighborhood income resulted in a mean increase (or decrease) in test score of 0.088 (95% CI, 0.078 to 0.097; p<0.0001). The effect of income on test score decreased in the COVID year (delta between years, -0.047, 95% CI, -0.060 to -0.033; p<0.0001). Conclusion This population-based observational study demonstrated that neighborhood family income impacted academic performance less in the COVID year compared to the pre-COVID year. The impact of other sociodemographic factors on academic achievement were also modified in the COVID year compared to pre-COVID. Determining how sociodemographic risk factors affected academic achievement during the pandemic may help inform educational recovery strategies and improve educational outcomes for children facing social inequities.

Abstract (sommario):

e4139111This article features schools and school districts with successful induction programs, all easily replicable. Increasingly, research confirms that teacher and teaching quality are the most powerful predictors of student success. In short, principals ensure higher student achievement by assuring better teaching. To do this, effective administrators have a new teacher induction program available for all newly hired teachers, which then seamlessly becomes part of the lifelong, sustained professional development program for the district or school. What keeps a good teacher are structured, sustained, intensive professional development programs that allow new teachers to observe others, to be observed by others, and to be part of networks or study groups where all teachers share together, grow together, and learn to respect each other’s work.ResumoEste artigo apresenta escolas e distritos escolares com programas bem sucedidos de indução, todos facilmente replicáveis. Cada vez mais, a pesquisa confirma que o professor e a qualidade do ensino são os mais poderosos preditores do sucesso do aluno. Em suma, os diretores garantem maior desempenho dos alunos, garantindo melhor ensino. Para fazer isso, os administradores eficazes têm um novo programa de indução de professores disponível para todos os professores recém-contratados, que então se torna parte do programa de desenvolvimento profissional sustentado ao longo da vida para o distrito ou escola. O que mantém um bom professor são programas estruturados, constantes e intensivos de desenvolvimento profissional que permitem que os novos professores observem outros, sejam observados por outros e façam parte de redes ou grupos de estudo onde todos os professores compartilham juntos, crescem juntos e aprendem a respeitar o trabalho um do outro.Tradução do original WONG, Harry K. “Induction Programs That Keep New Teachers Teaching and Improving”.

Abstract (sommario):

In-home pet food handling and food dish hygiene practices can have adverse health impacts for both humans and pets. Safe food and dish handling guidelines are not easily evidenced for pet owners. The study was designed to investigate dog owners’ feeding habits and evaluate the impact of the Food and Drug Association (FDA) hygiene protocols on dog food dish contamination. Procedures and surveys were approved by North Carolina State University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and Institutional Review Board. Pet feeding and food dish hygiene data were collected from 417 dog owner surveys and 68 food dish swabs. Total aerobic plate counts (APC) were performed on 68 dishes and randomly assigned into Group A (FDA pet food handling and dish hygiene guidelines), Group B (FDA pet and human food handling and dish hygiene guidelines), or Group C (no guidelines). Hygiene protocols were instituted in-home for 1 week, followed by a second APC and follow-up survey. Survey from dog owners-households indicated: 4.7% were aware of FDA pet food handling and dish hygiene guidelines; 36% have individuals ≤ 13 years old and/or immunocompromised; 43% stored dog food 0–5 feet from human food; 34% washed their hands after feeding; and 33% prepared their dog food on human food preparation surfaces. The hygiene protocols followed by Groups A and B resulted in significant decreases in food dish APC (p<0.001; 1.4; (0.9, 2.0); p<0.05; 0.604 (0.02, 1.2), respectively), as compared to Group C (p≥0.05). Hot water (>160° F or 71.1°C) washing decreased APC (p<0.01; 1.5 (0.4, 2.6)) over cold/lukewarm water. In the follow-up survey, 8% of Group A and B respondents reported likely to adhere to protocols long-term. This study suggests a need for pet food handling and dish hygiene guideline education to minimize bacterial contamination of dishes, especially for high-risk populations.

Abstract Background Antibiotic overuse (AO) in ambulatory care is an important public health problem. Nurse practitioners (NPs) account for a growing proportion of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions: 14.6% in 2016. Our objective was to assess NPs’ attitudes about antibiotic prescribing practices and knowledge and use of antibiotic prescribing guidelines (APG) in their practice. Methods We distributed a survey via email to NPs listed as licensed by the North Carolina Board of Nursing. Surveys were distributed three times; duplicate responses were not permitted. Respondents who reported not prescribing antibiotics in the outpatient setting were ineligible. Three randomly selected respondents received gift cards. Questions assessed degree type, practice type, years in practice, and attitudes about antibiotic prescribing practices antibiotic stewardship. Respondents answered four questions assessing knowledge of APG. Analyses were descriptive; scores on knowledge questions were compared using T-tests. Results Survey requests were sent to 10,094 listed NPs; there were 846 completed responses (8.4%), of which 672 respondents (79.4%) reported prescribing antibiotics in outpatient care. Of those, 595 (88.5%) treat adult patients. Most respondents agreed that AO is a problem in their state (84.5%); 41.3% agreed that it was a problem in their practice. Patient/family satisfaction was the most frequently reported driver of AO (90.1%). Most respondents agreed that national APG are appropriate (95.4%) and that quality improvement (QI) is warranted (93.4%). Respondents reported following APG always (18.5%) or more than half the time (61.0%). Respondents answered a mean of 1.89 out of 4 knowledge questions correctly, with higher scores among those reporting following APG more than half the time (1.97 vs 1.58, p< 0.0001). Overall attitudes about antibiotic prescribing, antibiotic prescribing guidelines, and acceptance of Quality Improvement. N=595. Respondents’ reported drivers of antibiotic overuse. Respondents were permitted to select more than one driver. Content question performance by self-reported guideline compliance; scores represent the number correct out of four questions. Conclusion Respondents agree that AO is a problem but place responsibility externally. Confidence in APG was high; most respondents endorsed following APG most of the time. Performance on knowledge questions suggests a need for education. Most respondents would welcome QI focused on AO, including education and personalized feedback. Similar work is needed in other regions and among other prescriber groups. The results will inform outpatient antibiotic stewardship.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Introduction According to population-based Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) cancer registry data, approximately 40% of adolescents and young adults (AYA) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in the United States (U.S.) are Hispanic and 7% are Black and both Hispanic and Black patients have significantly inferior outcomes relative to non-Hispanic Whites (NHW). CALGB 10403, a prospective Phase II clinical trial conducted by the U.S. Intergroup, demonstrated the feasibility of delivering a pediatric-inspired ALL regimen to newly diagnosed AYA ALL patients and found this approach to be superior to historical adult regimens (Stock et al. Blood 2019). In the current analysis, we evaluate enrollment patterns of Hispanic and Black AYAs on CALGB 10403 and compare survival relative to SEER estimates. Methods Demographics on AYAs (18-40 yrs) enrolled on CALGB 10403 (N=295 from 2007-2012) were supplemented with patient-reported education and socioeconomic status (SES) information. Data from the North American Association of Cancer Registries (NAACCR; 2013-2017) were used to evaluate U.S. country-wide ALL incidence (20-49 yrs) overall and among Hispanics, reported per U.S. state. SEER registries (2008-2012) provided racial/ethnic distribution and overall survival (OS) of AYA ALL (15-39 yrs). The distribution of OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared across racial/ethnic groups using log-rank tests. Results Relative to the U.S. AYA ALL population, CALGB 10403 included proportionally fewer Hispanics (41.7% vs. 16.3%, P < 0.001); the distribution of blacks was similar (6.4% vs. 8.5%, P = 0.174). Demographics and ALL characteristics among CALGB 10403 enrollees demonstrated no significant differences in age, sex, cytogenetics, or BMI by race/ethnicity; however, Black AYAs were more likely to have T-ALL, and Hispanic patients were more likely to have Ph-like B-ALL and rearrangements in CRLF2. Hispanic and Black patients reported lower household yearly income, and Black patients had less educational attainment. In order to explore reasons for disproportionately low Hispanic enrollment on CALGB 10403, we calculated the proportion of Hispanic AYAs with ALL relative to the AYA ALL incidence across U.S. states using NAACCR data and compared this with the geographical distribution of CALGB 10403 enrollments. The incidence of AYA ALL across U.S. states is represented in Fig 1A and the proportion of Hispanic AYA ALL patients in Fig 1B. The states with highest proportion of Hispanic patients included CA, TX, and NM, followed by AZ, CO, FL, and NJ. Although CALGB 10403 enrolled patients in 31 U.S. states, the trial did not open in TX or FL. The enrollments numbers were highest across the Mid-Western U.S., with only 47/295 (15.9%) of enrollments coming from the seven states with a high proportion of Hispanic AYA ALL patients (Fig 1C). The 3-yr event-free survival (EFS) and OS for the total CALGB 10403 cohort were 59.1% (53.1%, 65.75%) and 73.5% (68.1%, 79.4%), respectively. Per protocol completion of therapy was highest in Hispanics (75%), relative to Black (64%) and NHW patients (56%), P=0.049. Overall survival among CALGB 10403 participants differed significantly across race/ethnicity (Fig 2), with superior OS experienced by Hispanic patients and inferior OS by Black patients (P= 0.021). These clinical trial results differ from SEER estimates, where both Hispanic and Black patients experience worse OS relative to NHW (Fig 2). Conclusions This in-depth analysis of racial/ethnic enrollments and outcomes on CALGB 10403 uncovered findings that may translate across clinical trials beyond AYA ALL. Importantly, our data suggest that closer matching of trial site selection to geographical racial/ethnic disease incidence may improve minority enrollments on multi-center clinical trials. Relative to NHW, Hispanic patients had superior survival despite having higher rates of Ph-like ALL, indicating that clinical trial participation may mitigate racial/ethnic survival disparities seen in population-based data. Finally, we saw no improvement in trial outcomes among Black AYAs; a deeper understanding of the biological leukemia underpinnings and barriers to successful outcomes would aid future efforts at improving survival across racial/ethnic groups.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Introduction Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a life-threatening condition of high relevance for co-morbid patients, such as those with baseline hematological malignancies (HM). One year after the diagnosis of the first COVID-19 case, at the end of 2020, the first vaccines against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) were administered to the population, starting with individuals at highest risk of infection. EPICOVIDEHA aims to describe the epidemiology, vaccination strategies and mortality rates from HM patients at risk. Methods We collected clinical and epidemiological data from patients with laboratory-based diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection after partial or complete vaccination. The study was sponsored by the European Hematology Association - Infectious Diseases Working Party. Patients were registered in the EPICOVIDEHA online survey between January 1, 2021 and July 31, 2021 from Europe and United States. Data captured included underlying conditions prior to SARS-CoV-2, HM status and management prior to SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and infection details and mortality. The survey will continue until December 31, 2021. Results Overall, 40 patients have been so far registered, 24 male and 16 females, the vast majority of them aged over 50 years (N=38, 95%). Three quarters of patients were affected by lymphoproliferative malignancies (chronic lymphoid leukemia [CLL] N=14 and non-Hodgkin lymphoma [NHL] and multiple myeloma [MM] N=8, each), followed by myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) (N=4), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (N=2) and others (chronic myeloid leukemia [CML], acute lymphoid leukemia [ALL], polycythemia vera [PV] and aggressive mastocytosis one of each). Thirty-one patients (77.5%) were receiving active treatment for underlying HM at the time of SARS-CoV-2 infection, with 16 of them being on chemotherapy in the month prior to infection. All patients were vaccinated with a median time from vaccine to SARS-CoV-2 infection of 45.5 days (IRQ 19-67.5). Twenty-nine patients received a mRNA vaccine (BioNTech/Pfizer N=28, Moderna COVE N=1), whereas the remaining 11 an inactivated vaccine (Sinovac CoronaVac N=6) and vector-based vaccine (AstraZeneca Oxford N=5). Twenty-three patients were completely vaccinated, of which 22 (97.5%) patients were immunized (a minimum of 15 days following second dose). On the contrary, among 17 patients partially vaccinated, none was immunized. In 9 cases, viral genomes were analyzed (English variant N=7, South Africa variant N=1, Indian variant N=1). Overall, 25/40 patients presented with a severe/critical infection (62.5%), 13 of which (52%) were fully vaccinated and immunized, whereas only 15 (37.5%) were asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic. Twenty-seven (92.5%) patients were admitted to hospital, 5/27 (18.5%) to ICU, all requiring mechanical ventilation. After a follow-up of 30 day from SARS-CoV-2 infection, 8 patients died (20%), with 7/8 deaths (87.5%) attributable to SARS-CoV-2. There was no difference in overall survival between those patients that received 2 doses of vaccine or 1 dose (figure 1a), as well as no difference being observed between patients with and without lymphoproliferative malignancies (figure 1b), patients that receiving/not receiving active treatment in the last month (figure 1c), or the type of vaccine injected (figure 1d). Conclusions Our survey, involving over 150 Hematology Departments around the world, provides some preliminary insights. The majority of patients who do not respond to vaccination are patients with lymphoproliferative diseases, as can also be observed for other types of vaccination (e.g., flu-vaccination). Dramatically the mortality observed in all patients, although lower than that observed in the pre-vaccination period which in our experience was around 31%, still remains high (20%). Recruitment to this survey continues, and we hope that with larger numbers of cases, more definitive conclusions can be drawn to develop strategies to keep these complex patients safe.

Abstract (sommario):

Learning outcomes This case focuses on the scaling up of the business. The students/the users of the case will be able to understand the following:1. to analyse the present state of the business to identify the actions necessary for scaling up;2. awareness of the leadership styles demonstrated by the entrepreneurs to grow the business;3. the concept of pivoting for business expansion; and4. organisation building and life cycles for business growth. Case overview/synopsis Shamika was a lawyer by profession and had a successful career with leading law firms in India, North America and Hong Kong. She was passionate about beauty and skincare and developed a keen interest in that business. Shamika extensively researched brand management, supply chain and production. She had a burning desire to be an entrepreneur in the skincare business. So, she founded the brand “d’you”.The skin care industry in India had seen massive growth. There was a huge increase in people’s interest in cosmetics because of the rapid rise of the middle class. The skincare industry was dominated by firms offering various herbal products. Multiple product categories and a large amount of information confused the end-consumers. Shamika identified an opportunity to offer a skincare product to eliminate the need for a consumer to use multiple serums and compete with products of repute from the international market.South Korea was the top manufacturing hub for skincare products for all leading international brands. Shamika approached many manufacturers there to produce a unique formulation for her. It was challenging to get them interested because of the lack of big orders and the language barrier. Phoenix Cosmetics, a top R&D lab, agreed to partner with Shamika.In spite of severe opposition from her family, Shamika established d’you. She had to figure out customs duties, imports and food and drug regulations. She had to get specialists on board early to avoid time and cost overruns. To be cost-effective, Shamika innovated her promotion strategy. A special airless pump packaging from South Korea was finalised for the product.The pandemic outbreak, national lockdown and pressures of trying to run the business alone were very taxing for Shamika. She struggled to manage the timelines with various agencies, engage with Phoenix and maintain a steady flow of imports from South Korea.After the relaxation of lockdown, Shamika launched “Hustle”, an age- and gender-neutral solution to the skincare woes, in October 2020. She extensively used digital marketing and social media for product promotion and set high service standards. Hustle was recognised in micro beauty awards as the best serum in India. The leading fashion magazines reviewed it very positively. The sales zoomed up.Shamika initiated discussions with venture capitalists (VCs) to scale up. VCs, though positive, were surprised that she had no prior background in skincare. She strategised to create new products with Phoenix, who now desired to collaborate with her after the success of Hustle.Shamika felt the need to expand her team because of the workload stress. She followed the rolling business plan, allowing an immediate course correction because of the dynamic business scenario. She desired to delegate day-to-day operations to the professionals. She would mainly focus on strategising. Shamika was raring to grapple with the challenge of scaling up the business. Complexity academic level This case can be used in courses on organisation behaviour and human resource management in postgraduate and graduate management programmes. It can also be used in general and development management courses and during executive education programmes to teach entrepreneurial leadership and organisation theory.

Abstract (sommario):

ISCPES stands for International Society for Comparative Physical Education and Sports and it is going to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2018. Since the beginning (Israel 1978) the main goals of the Society were established under a worldwide mind set considering five continents and no discrimination of any kind. The founders wanted to compare Physical Education and Sports across the world, searching for the best practices deserving consideration and applied on the purpose of improving citizen quality of life. The mission still stands for “Compare to learn and improve”.As all the organizations lasting for 39 years, ISCPES experienced several vicissitudes, usually correlated with world economic cycles, social and sports changes, which are in ISS journal articles - International Sport Studies.ISS journal is Scopus indexed, aiming to improve its quality (under evaluation) to reach more qualified students, experts, professionals and researchers; doing so it will raise its indexation, which we know it is nowadays a more difficult task. First, because there are more journals trying to compete on this academic fierce competitive market; secondly, because the basic requirements are getting more and more hard to gather in the publishing environment around Physical Education and Sports issues. However, we can promise this will be one of our main strategic goals.Another goal I would like to address on this Editorial is the language issue. We have this second strategic goal, which is to reach most of languages spoken in different continents; besides the English language, we will reach Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries. For that reason, we already defined that all the abstracts in English will be translated into Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese words so people can find them on any search browser. That will expand the demand for our journal and articles, increasing the number of potential readers. Of course this opportunity, given by Motricidade, can be considered as a good example to multiply our scope.In June 2017 we organized a joint Conference in Borovets, Bulgaria, with our colleagues from the BCES – Bulgarian Society for Comparative Educational Studies. During those days, there was an election to appoint a new (Portuguese) president. This constitutes an important step for the Portuguese speaker countries, which, for a 4th year term, will have the opportunity to expand the influence of ISCPES Society diffusing the research results we have been achieving into a vast extended new public and inviting new research experts to innovative debates. This new president will be working with a wide geographical diverse team: the Vice President coming from a South American country (Venezuela), and the other several Executive Board members are coming from Brazil, China, Africa and North America. This constitutes a very favorable situation once, adding to this, we kept the previous editorial team from Australia and Europe. We are definitely committed to improve our influence through new incentives to organize several regional (continental) workshops, seminars and Conferences in the next future.The international research is crossing troubled times with exponential number of new indexed journals trying to get new influence and visibility. In order to do that, readers face new challenges because several studies present contradictory conclusions and outcome comparisons still lacking robust methodologies. Uncovering these issues is the focus of our Society.In the past, ISCPES started its activity collecting answers to the same questions asked to several experts in different countries and continents across the world. The starting studies developed some important insights on several issues concerning the way Physical Education professionals approached their challenges. In the very starting documents ISCPES activity focused in identifying certain games and indigenous activities that were not understood by people in other parts of the world, improving this international understanding and communication. This first attempt considered six groups of countries roughly comprehending 26 countries from all the continents.ISCPES has on its archives several seminal works, PhD proposals and program proposals, which constitutes the main theoretical framework considered in some textbooks printed at the end of the sixties in the XXth century.The methods used mostly sources’ country comparisons, historic development of comparative education systems, list of factors affecting those systems and a systematic analysis of case studies; additionally, international organizations for sports and physical education were also required to identify basic problems and unique features considered for the implementation of each own system. At the time, Lynn C. Vendien & John E. Nixon book “The World Today in Health, Physical Education and Recreation”, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey: Prentice-Hall, Inc. 1968, together with two monographies from William Johnson “Physical Education around the World”, 1966, 1968, Indianapolis, Phi Epsilon Kappa editions, were the main textbook references.The main landscapes of interest were to study sports compared or the sport role in Nationalisms, Political subsidization, Religion, Race and volunteering versus professionalism. The goal was to state the true place of sports in societies.In March 1970, Ben W. Miller from the University of California compiled an interesting Exhibit n.1 about the main conclusions of a breakfast meeting occurred during the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation. There, they identified thirty-one individuals, which had separate courses in “Comparative and/or International Physical Education, Recreation and Sports”; one month later, they collected eighteen responses with the bibliographic references they used. On this same Exhibit n.1 there is detailed information on the title, catalogue description, date of initial course (1948, the first), credit units, eligibility, number of year offer, type of graduation (from major to doctorate and professional). Concluding, the end of the sixties can be the mark of a well-established body of literature in comparative education and sports studies published in several scientific journals.What about the XXIst century? Is it still important to compare sports and education throughout the world? Only with qualitative methods? Mixed methods?We think so. That is why, after a certain decline and fuzzy goal definition in research motivations within ISCPES we decided to innovate and reorganize people from physical education and sports around this important theme of comparative studies. Important because we observe an increasing concern on the contradictions across different results in publications under the same subject. How can we infer? What about good research questions which get no statistically significant results? New times are coming, and we want to be on that frontline of this move as said by Elsevier “With RMR (results masked review) articles, you don’t need to worry about what editors or reviewers might think about your results. As long as you have asked an important question and performed a rigorous study, your paper will be treated the same as any other. You do not need to have null results to submit an RMR article; there are many reasons why it can be helpful to have the results blinded at initial review”.https://www.elsevier.com/connect/reviewers-update/results-masked-review-peer-review-without-publication-bias.This is a very different and challenging time. Our future strategy will comprehend more cooperation between researchers, institutions and scientific societies as an instrument to leverage our understanding of physical activity and sports through different continents and countries and be useful for policy designs.Next 2018, on the occasion of the UE initiative Sofia – European Capital of Sport 2018 we - Bulgarian Comparative Education Society (BCES) & the International Society for Comparative Physical Education and Sport (ISCPES) - will jointly organize an International Conference on Sport Governance around the World.Sports and Physical Education are facing complex problems worldwide, which need to be solved. For health reasons, a vast number of organizations are popularizing the belief that physical education and sports are ‘a must’ in order to promote human activity and movement. However, several studies show that modern lifestyles are the main cause for people's inactivity and sedentary lifestyles.Extensive funded programs used to promote healthy lifestyles; sports media advertising several athletes, turning them into global heroes, influencers in a new emerging industry around sports organizations. Therefore, there is a rise in the number of unethical cases and corruption that influence the image of physical education and sports roles.We, the people emotional and physically involved with sports and physical activity must be aware of this, studying, discussing and comparing global facts and events around the world.This Conference aims to offer an incentive to colleagues from all continents to participate and present their latest results on four specific topics: 1. Sport Governance Systems; 2. Ethics and Corruption in Physical Education and Sports Policies; 3. Physical Education and Sport Development; 4. Training Physical Educators and Coaches. Please consider your selves invited to attend. Details in http://bcesconvention.com/

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Background: The diagnosis of inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) is life-changing as it is a rare, highly aggressive breast cancer variant designated by NIH as a cancer health disparity. Given the unique presentation of diffuse tumor cell spread in the absence of a solid mass, which is not easily detected by self-breast exams or mammograms, IBC patients often face delays in diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, an individualized and a multifaceted approach that addresses the unique needs of the patient with input from both providers and the community is an unmet need. To address this, we are investigating the current knowledge and perspectives of providers and public related to rare cancers like IBC in primary care practices. Methods: Researchers and advanced practice providers collaboratively drafted and piloted the initial surveys with guidance from a Community Advisory Board, comprising of members from academic institutions, primary care practices in urban and rural setting, topical experts, and patient advocates, in order to assess primary care providers (PCPs) and general public knowledge, attitudes and health seeking practices related to rare cancer like IBC. Results: The surveys are currently being administered statewide specific to PCPs or public via cognitive interviews and/or using an online survey tool within North Carolina as a model of a large state (100 counties) with a range of population densities, race, ethnicities, and environmental burdens. Challenges elaborated at the PCP level include communicating rare cancer information, gaps in confidence in diagnosing IBC, timely follow-up with patients, and accessing specialty care and an unmet need for developing PCP educational modules to improve guideline-concordant care. Public data analyzed to date is from a Duke Outpatient Clinic, an urban ambulatory care teaching practice serving primarily low-income, medically complex patients in Durham (n=14) included 69% Black, 93% female, with 68% in households earning under $50,000 annually). 71% had not heard of IBC; 64% did not identify high BMI as a risk factor; 36% did not know there is differential race-related incidence; 74% did not recognize IBC-specific symptoms. 50% noted lack of insurance, transportation, religious reasons, or difficulty or fear of talking to a physician contributed in general delay in seeking health care. Most importantly, 93% expressed feeling comfortable sharing information about IBC with others. Majority expressed that adding visual aids and providing educational materials about IBC at the time of survey would be helpful. Conclusions: The results highlight the role of PCPs, including physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners, who are often the first point of contact when patients begin to notice signs or symptoms. The general public and the patients with common breast cancer subtypes can provide valuable insight into their own health care experiences, what works for them and what barriers they face in their communities, which can be used to compare with experience of patients with IBC and other rare cancers. Overall, the lessons from this study inform the development of effective tools to educate PCPs and patients for this understudied cancer that contributes to disparities in clinical and survival outcomes in minoritized and marginalized populations.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Background The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is believed to involve activation of the intestinal immune system in response to the gut microbiome among genetically susceptible hosts. IBD has been historically regarded as a disease of developed nations, though in the past two decades there has been a reported shift in the epidemiological pattern of disease. High-income nations with known high prevalence of disease are seeing a stabilization of incident cases, while a rapid rise of incident IBD is being observed in developing nations. This suggests that environmental exposures may play a role in mediating the risk of developing IBD. The potential environmental determinants of IBD across various regions is vast, though medications have been increasingly recognized as one broad category of risk factors. Purpose Several medications have been considered to contribute to the etiology of IBD. This study assessed the association between medication use and risk of developing IBD using the Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) cohort. Method This was a prospective cohort study of 133,137 individuals between the ages of 20-80 from 24 countries. Country-specific validated questionnaires documented baseline and follow-up medication use. Participants were followed prospectively at least every 3 years. The main outcome was development of IBD, including CD and UC. Short-term (baseline but not follow-up use) and long-term use (baseline and subsequent follow-up use) was evaluated. Results are presented as adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Result(s) During the median follow-up of 11.0 years [interquartile range (IQR) 9.2-12.2], we recorded 571 incident cases of IBD (143 CD and 428 UC). Higher risk of incident IBD was associated with baseline antibiotic use [aOR: 2.81 (95% CI: 1.67-4.73), p=0.0001] and hormonal medication use [aOR: 4.43 (95% CI: 1.78-11.01), p=0.001]. Among females, previous or current oral contraceptive use was also associated with IBD development [aOR: 2.17 (95% CI: 1.70-2.77), p=5.02E-10]. NSAID users were also observed to have increased risk of IBD [aOR: 1.80 (95% CI: 1.23-2.64), p=0.002], which was driven by long-term users [aOR: 5.58 (95% CI: 2.26-13.80), p<0.001]. All significant results were consistent in direction for CD and UC with low heterogeneity. Conclusion(s) Antibiotics, hormonal medications, oral contraceptives, and long-term NSAID use were associated with increased odds of incident IBD after adjustment for covariates.

Abstract (sommario):

Retirement rates are on the increase. Levels of job satisfaction and changing demographics raise concerns about attrition in the North Dakota State University Extension Service system. The study reported here examined data provided from the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire and a demographics questionnaire to describe the overall job satisfaction of employees in the North Dakota State University Extension Service as well as their satisfaction based on the 20 job satisfaction scales of the MSQ. Determining levels of satisfaction, especially in relation to specific aspects of the job, is a necessary priority in recruiting and retaining new employees.
