Predictors of Nurse Practitioner Prescription of Opioids for Cancer Pain: Quantitative Results.

Nurse practitioners (NPs) have assumed a greater role in the management of pain related to cancer. Several studies have associated adequate management of cancer pain with improved survival. Opioids are an essential treatment for cancer pain management and thus it is important to understand influences on prescribing these substances. However, due to a lack of previous studies on this topic, little is known about the influences on NP prescription of opioids for patients with pain due to cancer. Competent decision-making is highly correlated with dominant personality characteristics and dominant decision-making styles in everyday life. The rational approach to decision-making has demonstrated superior performance with different daily tasks, including career-related tasks. However, it is unknown whether dominant personality and/or decision-making style impacts the decisions of medical professionals. Using the Diffusion of Innovations theoretical framework, this study evaluated whether dominant personality, dominant decision style, advanced specialty certification, and/or demographic factors influenced oncology NP opioid prescribing proficiency (termed opioid decision score, or ODS) according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines. Other advanced practice providers (APPs) were excluded from the study due to controlled substance prescribing limitations. An internet-based descriptive comparative study was performed evaluating the dominant personality characteristic and dominant decision-making style as a predictor of opioid prescribing among NPs working in oncology. Participants were recruited using lists from the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) and American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). A nationwide convenience sample of NPs working with adult oncology patients was evaluated for opioid prescribing according to recommendations in the NCCN Cancer Pain Guidelines. Univariate linear regression revealed a statistically significant increase in the ODS as the Big Five Inventory (BFI) Openness scale score increased (estimate = 0.36, standard error [SE] = 0.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.03-0.69). Nurse practitioners reporting advanced specialty certification in oncology and/or hospice or palliative care scored significantly higher on the ODS compared with those with no advanced specialty certification (n = 81, M = 2.86, 2.34, t = -2.75, df = 178, p = .0065). This study provides preliminary findings regarding the decision-making of NPs working with oncology patients and prescribing opioids for cancer pain. Nurse practitioners with a dominant personality characteristic of openness and those reporting an advanced specialty certification in oncology and/or hospice or palliative care were more likely to prescribe opioids for patients with cancer according to NCCN Guidelines. Further investigation is needed to determine additional factors impacting prescribing of controlled sub-stance by NPs and other prescribers.

Путь к «нормальной науке» через экзистенциализм

The article reflects upon the developmet of professional history of philosophy, philosophy of science and theoretical sociology in Soviet Union in the 1950s and 1960s. The decisive contribution to the formation of modern historical and philo­sophical problems, as well as to modern disputes about the nature of philoso­phy and science, belongs to Piama Gaidenko. The author focuses on the role of studies in existentialism and the way its problematic shaped human and sci­ence studies in soviet philosophy. A small review article published in Voprosy Filosofii in 1959, the very first scientific paper by Gaidenko despite its formal status, appears to be an extremely important scientific document, revealing not only the characteristic personal style of the author soon to become famous, but also the full thematic structure of Gaidenko’s future works. Contrary to the com­mon in the 50-60-s classification of existentialism as “irrationalism” and hence as hostile to science, this movement was the first to be studied as a region of contemporary philosophy thus fostering soviet philosophy to move away from harsh criticism of bourgeois philosophy and develop the branch of history of phi­losophy as “normal science”.

Copy-cat Bot for Narendra Modi which generates plausible new speeches in Modhi’s style using machine learning approaches

Many consequences in the human past can be traced back to that one well-written, well-presentedspeech. Speeches grasp the power to move nations or touch hearts as long as they are well-thought-out.This is why gaining the expertise of speech giving and speech writing is something we should all intent togain. A copy-cat bot is a model that can learn the writing and talking style of a certain person and replicateit. The main objective of this research study is to apply simple Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), LongShort-Term Memory (LSTM) Recurrent Neural Networks and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) in developinga speech generation system that deep learns one text and then generates new text. This research looks intothe generation of English transcripts of Narendra Modi’s speeches. The generated text using LSTM andGRU models has great potential. The output resulted by RNN is less realistic and pragmatic, but itsvariants LSTM and GRU performed better. Though the grammatical correctness and the sentencetransitions were absent in generated text of LSTM and GRU, but their output is somewhat logical ascompared to RNN. LSTM and GRU performed better as it generated more realistic text and training lossis small, perplexity is small and mean probability is high compared to RNN.

Mind the fake reviews! Protecting consumers from deception through persuasion knowledge acquisition

A growing body of research has shown that while computers can effectively detect fake reviews, humans are no more accurate than chance. Since consumers strongly trust online reviews, and fake reviews are pervasive, they often make suboptimal choices. However, whether consumers can learn to detect fake reviews and whether this knowledge would help them make better-informed decisions remain open questions. We propose that learning four distinctive features of fake reviews (one-sidedness, exaggeration, personal selling style, and generic descriptions) affects consumers’ trustworthiness in them and their perceived favorability, thus affecting their purchase intentions toward the target product. Five studies support our theoretical model. We also show that one-sidedness is the most discriminating among the four features and that simply activating consumers’ current knowledge is not enough to protect them from fake reviews.

Do personal resilience, coping styles, and social support prevent future psychological distress when experiencing workplace bullying? Evidence from a 1-year prospective study

BackgroundAlthough previous studies have identified that workplace bullying causes serious mental health problems to the victims, it is not yet fully investigated moderating factors on the association between workplace bullying and psychological distress. This longitudinal study, therefore, examined the moderating role of organizational resources such as supervisor support or coworker support as well as individual resources such as stress coping styles or personal resilience on the association.MethodsA prospective cohort study for 2036 civil servants was conducted with a one-year time lag (follow-up rate: 77.2%). At baseline, Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised, Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, Brief Scales for Coping Profile, and Brief Job Stress Questionnaire were used to measure workplace bullying, personal resilience, stress coping styles, and social support, respectively. Psychological distress was measured using K6 both at baseline and follow-up.ResultsThe results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that workplace bullying was associated with subsequent increased psychological distress even after adjusting for individual and occupational characteristics, but its association disappeared after adjusting for psychological distress at baseline. After adjusting for psychological distress at baseline, greater resilience, greater seeking help, greater changing view, and lower avoidance were associated with lower subsequent psychological distress when being bullied. In contrast, worksite social support and family/friends support was not associated with lower subsequent psychological distress when being bullied. A significant interaction effect of workplace bullying and changing mood was observed on subsequent psychological distress.ConclusionsThe effects or moderating factors were limited on the longitudinal association between bullying and mental health because psychological distress at baseline was the strongest predictor of subsequent psychological distress.

The aesthetics of the peripheral, the poetics of triviality, vagrancy, bohemian wanderlust, and enigmatic rituals are performed in an inimitable personal style that problematizes issues pertaining to the theory of literature and the theory of the novel. Atomised, puzzle-like novels with deliberately obscure police procedural plots, The Savage Detectives and 2666 break several authorial and narrative architectural patterns, becoming major landmarks in today’s novelistic worldscape."

Representation of Seniority Role in Animated Video “ Anima Si Nopal”

Seniority Role is a social phenomenon that has long been embedded in the social life of the Indonesian people. Indonesian people uphold politeness and respect for older people in interacting in their daily lives. The level in the aspect of age is the most visible feature applied in various environments. Regardless of the morally good or bad behavior of older people, younger people tend to be more guarded. On the other hand, older people tend to be more dominant. The world of animated films today has been enlivened by local animation whose popularity is not inferior to animation made by well-known studios. Local animation is a work that deserves appreciation because it can emerge from a small studio with a very personal style representing the creator. In addition to being an indicator of the achievement of national animation film technology, local animation is also able to represent the social phenomena and phenomena of society at the time the animation was broadcast. Characters that appear in animated films can represent characteristics in terms of physical and mental and emotional society in general at that time. This research produces a qualitative analysis to examine the social relationship in terms of ageism between the character Nopal and his sister Cutie. What is going on in the relationship between Nopal and Cutie when they function as brother and sister roles. Preliminary data involve three episodes of Animasinopal animated video. The method used is visual language.

METHODS OF ASSESSING LEADER’S PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS AND LEADERSHIP STYLE

The aim of this research was to discuss and analyze various methods of assessment of leader’s personal characteristics and leadership style. In fact, there are various methods that can be used to assess personal qualities and psychological characteristics of a leader. This research focused mainly on the methods developed by distinguished American scientists such as Margaret Herman, James David Barber and David A. Winter. The research revealed that it is quite possible to obtain information about leader’s personal qualities and psychological characteristics even without meeting him or her. Marguerite Herman developed a method of assessing the personality traits of leaders which is known as Personality Assessment-at-a-Distance. This method allows us to evaluate leader’s personal qualities and psychological characteristics distantly by analyzing his or her speeches and conversations.

Clémence de Grandval in the French artistic culture of the XIX century

Statement of the problem. One of the main issues of the humanities has always been to study urgent problems due to the proceses of economic and social life, changes of artistic guidelines, one of which is to comprehend the specifics of the functioning of contemporary art. Nevertheless, the direction of music scholarship that explores the culture of previous eras and the work of little-known «second-rate» artists remains no less important. In this aspect, the XIX century, namely the era of Romanticism, attracts attention with the flourishing of salon culture, the interest in the work of the Musician-Creator, which led to the formation of a significant layer of educated amateurs and many composers, whose works have been forgotten. The purpose of this article is to present Clémence de Grandval’s creativity as an important component of the development of artistic culture of France in the XIX century. Results and conclusion. The centers of salon culture, where composers and performers, poets and publicists, artists and theater figures gathered in the epoch of blossom of the European Romanticism influenced on shaping of personality and individual artistic style of Clémence de Grandval (1828–1907), born as Marie Félicie Clémence de Reiset (and also known as Vicomtesse de Grandval and Marie Grandval). Unlike of many women of that time, she was lucky to study from a young age. She took lessons from a family friend, the German composer F. Flotow, and later – from F.Chopin and C. Saint-Saëns. In the artistic environment of France in the XIX century Clémence de Grandval was not only well-known, but also a highly respected composer. For many years she held an honorable place in the National Musical Society of France, where she was also involved in patronage, helping young talented composers to promote their works. Both, the significant art prizes of that period, which Clémence de Grandval received through her musical talant and professional knowledge, as well as the respectful attitude of her contemporaries, indicate that during her lifetime she achieved great recognition. Clémence de Grandval’s creative heritage includes several operas, choral and instrumental works that were actively publishing in the XIX century, but later the scores of her orchestral compositions were lost. As of today, the interest to Clémence de Grandval’s creativity is reviving, though performers focus mainly on her chamber works, where orientation on home music is obvious. Thus, the legacy of this remarcable French women composer deserves a deeper investigation.

Understanding prime ministerial leadership in the United Kingdom and Japan in the 21st century: Introduction to a special issue

The introduction to this special issue begins by presenting a recent puzzle – the increasingly strong position of the Japanese prime minister, who has traditionally been regarded as weak, in contrast to the increasingly fragile position of the United Kingdom prime minister, who has traditionally been regarded as strong. To make sense of these developments, the introduction reviews existing academic perspectives related to prime ministerial leadership with a specific focus on the literature on the UK and Japanese prime ministers. It subdivides our understanding of prime ministerial leadership into three distinct but inter-related levels of analysis. First, the institutional setting, which concentrates attention upon prime ministers’ relations with the machinery of government and a range of institutions including the executive, legislature and judiciary, and relates to prime ministerial versus cabinet government debates, and the core executive model. Second, the party context, which focuses on prime ministers as leaders of their political parties and debates surrounding party centralisation, internal party cohesion and leadership selection and ejection. Third, the role of agency within these above two settings and in relation to the broader public, which includes the personal skills and performative styles of individual prime ministers.
