Chinese mothers' profiles of color-conscious socialization and social dominance orientation: Relations to children's racial attitudes.

This study concerns Chinese mothers' color-conscious socialization and social dominance orientation and how these relate to children's racial attitudes. Data were collected from a sample of 155 Chinese children (71 girls) aged 7-11 years and their mothers, from urban regions across China (Shanghai, Jinan, and cities in Jiangsu Province), including observations of mothers' color-conscious practices, self-reported social dominance orientation, and children's attitudes toward light-skinned Chinese, tan-skinned Chinese, and White groups. All children were born in urban areas and from middle-income families. Variable- and person-centered analyses suggested three areas of color-conscious practices, racial appearance, cultural background, and grouping, and revealed heterogeneity in associations between color consciousness and social dominance orientation. Mothers' acknowledgment of shared culture was associated with children's positive attitudes toward their racial ingroup with darker skin tone. This study emphasizes the importance of a nuanced and contextualized understanding of color-conscious socialization. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Pediatric Neuropalliative Medicine.

Neurological disease in childhood has significant impacts on not only physical well-being, but also on the social, environmental, and emotional health of the child, their family, and the larger community. Pediatric neuropalliative medicine is a recently developed area of subspecialty practice that supports families affected by serious neurological illness in navigating uncertain illness trajectories, refractory symptoms, and the myriad medical decisions that arise over the life of the child. Despite their medical needs, children with neurological diseases live full, joyful, and connected lives with their families, many of whom also experience personal growth and find meaning in their caregiving. Patients and families under the care of neurologists also face many systemic and interpersonal biases, both within the health care system and in the community, and encounter frequent gaps in their home and community-based supports. This chapter summarizes what is known about pediatric neuropalliative medicine and highlights the future research, educational, and clinical innovations that are needed to build more comprehensive and well-prepared systems to address unmet needs. Particularly in the modern era of child neurology practice where disease-modifying treatments are becoming increasingly available, pediatric neuropalliative medicine is an essential area of subspecialty practice that helps to support the personhood and quality of life of the individuals affected by serious illness and their families. As medicine helps more and more children with neurological impairment survive, medical treatment must include not only treatment for the physical body, but also care and support for the complexity of human experience of living with serious illness.

Jordanian nursing students’ experience of harassment in clinical care settings

IntroductionNursing students experienced various types of bullying and abuse in their practice areas. This study aims to assess the incidence, nature, and types of bullying and harassment experienced by Jordanian nursing students in clinical areas.MethodologyA cross-sectional, descriptive design was used, utilizing a self-report questionnaire. A convenient sampling technique was used to approach nursing students who are in their 3rd or 4th year in governmental and private universities.ResultsOf 162 (70%) students who reported harassment, more than 80% of them were females and single. Almost 40% of them reported that males were the gender of the perpetrator. Almost 26.5% of them reported that patient’s relatives or friends were the sources of harassment. Psychological/verbal harassment was the most reported type of harassment (79%). Findings showed that there was a statistically significant difference in psychological/verbal harassment based on gender and type of the university. Also, there were significant negative correlations between psychological/verbal harassment, professional achievement, and personal life.ConclusionHarassment in the clinical area is affecting the professional and personal lives of students, who lack the knowledge of policy to report this harassment.

Vocational Calling, Meaningful Work, and Job Satisfaction Among Disability Services Providers

Abstract Recruiting and retaining a strong disability workforce remains an enduring concern in the field of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Yet little attention has focused on the sense of calling that disability service providers have to this important work and its relationships to their job satisfaction. We surveyed 269 disability service providers to examine whether they (a) perceive a calling in their life, (b) are living out that calling in their current work, (c) find meaning in their career, and (d) experience job satisfaction. The experience of both having and living out one’s calling in their current work was especially prominent among participants. Likewise, most providers indicated they drew considerable meaning and purpose from their work. Perceiving a calling contributed to higher job satisfaction through living out one’s calling and finding meaning in one’s work. Some variations in ratings were associated with personal demographics (i.e., sex, years of experience). These findings provide new insights into what might draw disability service providers into this work or sustain their commitment amidst challenging and changing working conditions. We highlight areas for research and practice aimed at place of calling within efforts to strengthening recruitment and retention.

Utility of large language models for creating clinical assessment items.

To compare student performance, examiner perceptions and cost of GPT-assisted (generative pretrained transformer-assisted) clinical and professional skills assessment (CPSAs) items against items created using standard methods. We conducted a prospective, controlled, double-blinded comparison of CPSA items developed using GPT-assistance with those created through standard methods. Two sets of six practical cases were developed for a formative assessment sat by final year medical students. One clinical case in each set was created with GPT-assistance. Students were assigned to one of the two sets. The results of 239 participants were analysed in the study. There was no statistically significant difference in item difficulty, or discriminative ability between GPT-assisted and standard items. One hundred percent (n=15) of respondents to an examiner feedback questionnaire felt GPT-assisted cases were appropriately difficult and realistic. GPT-assistance resulted in significant labour cost savings, with a mean reduction of 57% (880 GBP) in labour cost per case when compared to standard case drafting methods. GPT-assistance can create CPSA items of comparable quality with significantly less cost when compared to standard methods. Future studies could evaluate GPT's ability to create CPSA material in other areas of clinical practice, aiming to validate the generalisability of these findings.

Exploring photocatalytic tetracycline removal performance under simulated sunlight irradiation: Milling time effect on metallic reduction of MnO/ZrO2 mixed oxide

In the present research, it is reported that ball milling technique can be applied to enhance the photocatalytic properties of MnO and ZrO2 metal oxide powders (MZOx) furthermore the fabricated photocatalyst can be used for the degradation of tetracycline (TTC). XRD analyses revealed that increasing the milling time resulted in the formation of a pure metallic Mn crystal phase, which boosted the antibiotic degradation rate. It was confirmed by SEM technique that the morphological structures of the particles were generally small and uniform. The band gap energy was calculated as 3.70 eV for the hybrid metal oxide. Additionally, the adsorptive and photoluminescence features were illuminated via DRS and PL analyses. The effect of milling time had a major impact on the photodegradation rate of TTC, and the 8 h milling sample (MZOx-8h) exhibited the highest catalytic degradation activity (79.4 %). Low photocatalytic activity was obtained at acidic pHs and increased at alkaline pHs. The presence of H2O2 sharply decreased photocatalytic process time (60 min) and 94.3 % of the TTC was degraded at 7.5 mM H2O2. The photocatalytic degradation process proceeded through superoxide radicals and was supported by holes. The stability of MZOx-8h almost remained constant (70.02 %) even after seven cycles. It was determined that the presence of oxalic acid positively affected the progress of TTC degradation reactions. Further, practical application areas were investigated and MZOx-8h doped on support materials was found to be suitable for such applications in proportion to the doping ratio. Finally, it was demonstrated that MZOx-8h exhibited remarkable performance in photocatalytic reactions of different types of organic pollutants. The synergistic nature of MnO and ZrO2 with the contribution of ball milling time effect resulted in high photocatalytic activity.

Exploring Structures and Processes Supporting Interprofessional Education During Experiential Learning Placements for Student Pharmacists

ObjectiveTo explore stakeholder views on the structures and processes supporting planned and unplanned interprofessional education (IPE) during experiential learning (EL) placements for student pharmacists in Scotland. MethodsOnline semistructured group interviews were conducted with academic staff, practice educators, and EL facilitators (preceptors). Recordings were transcribed verbatim and analyzed thematically. Systems theory underpinned the study. Ethical approval was granted by the School of Pharmacy and Life Sciences Ethics Review Committee at Robert Gordon University. ResultsThree main themes were identified: current IPE delivery and context, factors affecting IPE delivery and student pharmacist learning, and rethinking current IPE provision. Stakeholder views provided valuable insights into presage factors relating to contextual elements (cultural, logistical, regulatory) and their influence on IPE delivery and interprofessional learning. EL facilitator and student pharmacist characteristics were also highlighted as influencing factors; process factors included examples of planned and unplanned IPE experiences on offer in community, hospital, primary care, and specialist areas of pharmacy practice; product factors highlighted the importance of IPE to support the development of collaborative competencies. Future developments need to focus on a continuum of IPE learning and a coordinated approach between higher education institutions and placement providers and interprofessional practice teams. ConclusionCurricular development and implementation of new IPE is not without its challenges. This study has provided a strong foundation that will inform future developments to ensure new initiatives are conducive to supporting effective interprofessional learning during placements.

Unveiling injustice: Disrupting child removal policies and upholding breastfeeding: An emancipatory framework.

Before colonization, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities had nurturing, holistic, and communitarian approaches that promoted extended and healthy lives for their children. Colonization, marked by policies of genocide and assimilation, has resulted in an alarming overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children under the care of child protection agencies, resulting in compromised health outcomes and reduced life expectancies. We are conducting a study designed to enhance positive developmental outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children by articulating and enabling the rights of mothers and children to breastfeed in the context of a child protection intervention and child removal. To understand and address this problem, it is critical to implement culturally safe, de-colonized, emancipatory research that is guided by and benefits Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. This article presents an emancipatory framework that we are applying to our study using an Aboriginal participatory action research approach, that serves as a guide for non-Indigenous researchers seeking to conduct research with Indigenous communities. We emphasize the importance of incorporating an Aboriginal participatory action research framework, using community consultation and codesign; culturally secure data collection methods, and paying attention to Indigenous data sovereignty. Developing trusting respectful relationships is conducive to knowledge acquisition, exchange, and use, when research approaches deeply rooted in community involvement are applied. A call to action by the critical midwifery studies collective, urges non-Indigenous researchers to become accountable allies that demonstrates respect for community leadership while actively striving to ensure research does not perpetuate further harm, and produces effective change. This article provides an overview of ways to conduct ethical emancipatory research with Indigenous participants, that is, of benefit to midwifery practitioners and is applicable to many areas of research, policy, and practice.

Green Marketing Research Trends: Theory and Practical Application

Green marketing has emerged as a major global problem over the last two decades. However, marketing activity in Vietnam remains mostly missing in both academic and practical application areas. The above phenomena are due to a lack of theoretical grounding. Using the strengths of the content analysis method in extensive research, the authors examined 109 scientific papers in English from international journals in the Science Citation Index database. The research findings give insight on changes in green marketing in a variety of areas, including theoretical value, strategy, and expanded research content from 1998 to 2018. The paper also suggests a number of study directions appropriate to the current Vietnamese context for expanding domestic green marketing research and catching up with worldwide research trends.

Home office and the Work Environment of Public Servers

Introduction: This article aimed to identify and analyze the changes that occurred due to the implementation of home office, as a result of Covid-19, in the work environment of technical-administrative employees at federal universities. The research used a qualitative and descriptive approach. The results showed that employees prefer to continue working from home, with the hybrid model or partial teleworking being preferred. The main advantages were autonomy and greater flexibility of schedules; increased productivity; less bureaucracy and family coexistence. And the main disadvantages were adequacy of the work space; leadership difficulties and feelings of isolation. Objective: The objective of the research, which is exploratory in nature, is to analyze the changes that the home office brought to the work environment of technical-administrative employees at a federal university. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework is divided into two main parts. The first part deals with home office research, which conceptually underlies this research. The second part explores the home office in more detail in the context of Brazilian public administration. Method: The qualitative methodology was adopted for this research, through semi-structured interviews with 18 administrative technical employees from the Federal University in São Paulo (UF). The Atlas TI 23 was used for content analysis. The research was authorized and approved by the Research Ethics committee at the institution involved. Results and Discussion: The results showed a preference for the home office model, especially the hybrid or partial model (with in-person work once or twice a week). Also, it was found that the performance of the servers was influenced by the implementation of the home office, in their perception, with the majority reporting difficulties in adapting in the first months and, currently, they consider that their productivity has returned to the same standards, or improved, compared to when the activities were only in person. Research Implications: It is considered that this study can serve as a reference for other public universities, as well as for federal institutes, as both enjoy the same managerial and administrative autonomy, constitutionally guaranteed; and the respective employees are under the same legal employment regime at the federal level. Originality/Value: The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by [explain how the results may impact the area of study or professional practice]. It is considered that this study can serve as a reference for other public universities, as well as for federal institutes, as both enjoy the same managerial and administrative autonomy, constitutionally guaranteed; and the respective employees are under the same legal employment regime at the federal level.

Transformation Through Practice: A Dialogical Exploration of Embodiment and Presence in Arts-Based Qualitative Research With Self and Others

In this article, we discuss the potential of artist-researchers inviting research participants to engage directly in arts- and practice-based ethnographic work. To enable openings for this engagement, we find that the artist-researcher ontologically must stay oneself but also be able to share the self so that embodied knowing and years of embedded repertoires may find pathways of externalization, which may be walked co-creatively with research participants. In a reflexive conversation, we—Pini (dance artist, anthropologist) and Høybye (collaborative songwriter, ethnographer)—share insights from our respective artistic and academic fields to discern which areas of practice and knowledge creation may be similar, and which may be different. The aim is to identify how ways of working that have been transformative for us may be facilitated in interventions for others, and more specifically young cancer patients in our joint ongoing research project.
