Barriers and Facilitators to Shared Decision-Making for HPV Self-Sampling in LMICs: A Thematic Analysis

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in lower-middle-income countries (LMICs), contributing to the disproportionately high number of disability-adjusted life years in these regions.1,2 Shared decision-making (SDM) is a healthcare model that promotes patient-centered care by involving patients and family caregivers in collaborative treatment decision-making.3 Despite relatively high SDM awareness in high-income countries (HICs), seven studies have highlighted low awareness among healthcare professionals in LMICs, with cultural and operational barriers impeding its practice.4 The HPV-Automated Visual Evaluation (PAVE) Study is a multinational initiative focused on improving cervical cancer prevention in resource-constrained regions.5 This study aims to investigate stakeholders' understanding, views, and attitudes towards cervical cancer prevention and screening, and their preferences for receiving information and participating in decision-making.5 This will be achieved by analyzing the qualitative interviews with scientific experts and healthcare providers from the four participating sites (Brazil, El Salvador, Nigeria, and Tanzania).5 Thematic analysis is being applied to the interview transcripts to identify common themes and patterns, and enhance our understanding of stakeholder perspectives. Due to structural and cultural differences between HICs and LMICs, we expect that tailoring SDM to address specific barriers in LMICs will enhance its acceptance and utilization, leading to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction in cervical cancer prevention and treatment. If validated, the findings from the PAVE study may inform the widespread adoption and enhancement of cervical cancer prevention programs on a global scale.

Data-Driven Clustering and Feature-Based Retail Electricity Pricing with Smart Meters

The adoption of smart meters and dynamic pricing programs is rapidly increasing among electric utility companies. In “Data-Driven Clustering and Feature-Based Retail Electricity Pricing with Smart Meters,” Keskin, Li, and Sunar analyze how utility companies should use smart meter data for better pricing decisions. Utility companies typically have access to consumption patterns and high-dimensional features on customer characteristics and exogenous factors. The authors identify that such feature data can exhibit different forms of heterogeneity—over time and over customers. They show that the different forms of feature heterogeneity significantly worsen the best profit performance that can be achieved by a data-driven dynamic pricing policy. The authors also develop a policy based on joint spectral clustering and contextual dynamic pricing and prove that this policy achieves near-optimal profit performance.

What do adults know about public education?

Adults’ beliefs and knowledge about the state of the U.S. education system drive decisions about policy, funding, program adoption, student participation in programs, and the selection of decision makers to elected positions. Amie Rapaport and Anna Rosefsky Saavedra share national survey data showing that U.S. adults have little knowledge about what is being taught in schools, express neutrality about belief systems undergirding education policy, and report experiences misaligned with hard-data trends on student academic progress in recent years. With adults reporting they learn about issues crucial to our education system mainly from “personal experience,” better information has the potential to improve U.S. education.

Understanding factors affecting non-participants’ interest in community-supported agriculture

Community-supported agriculture (CSA) has emerged as a viable solution for addressing the agricultural challenges faced by countries like Indonesia. This study uses the well-established unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) model to examine the interest in CSA of potential customers in Indonesia. A standardized questionnaire was distributed to 1200 respondents, and the data were analyzed using structural equation model-partial least square (SEM-PLS) in SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results capture potential CSA consumer interest and will help to improve CSA development strategies in Indonesia. The model explains 44.4% of customers’ intentions, and identifies performance expectancy as the decisive factor in customers’ willingness to participate in CSA. Performance expectancy (0.292), hedonic motivation (0.262), social influence (0.259), and facilitating conditions (0.086) positively influence customers’ interest in participating in a CSA program. The adoption of CSA programs by both farmers and customers could be increased by implementing regulations that provide tax incentives and subsidies, offering training on sustainable farming practices, facilitating the establishment of distribution channels, and establishing guidelines for fair price and quality standards. This study shows the high potential for the implementation of CSA in Indonesia. It could also be used as a foundation for the development of new policies regarding sustainable agriculture markets in Indonesia.

Contextual and temporal effects on diversity action programmes in organisations

This study adopts a comparative institutionalist lens to explore contextual and temporal effects on the use of diversity action programmes within organisations across eight European countries. Using data from three rounds of the Cranet survey, we analyse the impact of market economy types and collective participation on diversity action programs over time. At the national level, we adopt a fourfold taxonomy of market economies transcending the typical LME/CME dichotomy to elucidate the nuanced complexities underlying temporal trends. Regarding diversity action programmes, we find a higher likelihood of their implementation in deregulated economies, compared to Scandinavian, Mediterranean and Rhineland economies. Over time, while deregulated economies tend to diverge from others, there are notably distinct patterns emerging in relation to Scandinavian economies, while comparisons with Rhineland and Mediterranean economies unveil patterns of both change and continuity. Furthermore, our findings indicate that collective participation enhances the adoption of diversity action programmes for most demographic groups. The relevant temporal analysis reveals that, largely, collective participation differentiates the organisational use of diversity action programmes over time. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

DYNAMIC CAPABILITIES AS A SUCCESS-FACTOR OF THE LONG-TERM BUSINESS ALLIANCE: THE CASE OF SIEMENS AND ATOS

Strategic alliances offer numerous benefits, including access to new markets, shared resources, and enhanced capabilities, which collectively contribute to a firm’s competitive edge. However, maintaining these partnerships over time remains a challenge due to the dynamic nature of collaborative relationships. The article is devoted to the analysis of dynamic capabilities of partnership and its role in the long-term development of the business alliance between Siemens and Atos. The specificity of dynamic capabilities is identified, namely the characteristics of "sensing," "seizing," and "reconfiguring" capabilities at the stages of partnership development between Siemens and Atos. Three stages of development of dynamic capabilities of the business alliance between Siemens and Atos are defined: the founding stage (2011-2014), the expansion stage (2015-2020), and the current stage (2021-2025). The founding stage involved mutual investments and the adoption of performance programs to enhance operational efficiency. The expansion stage saw the alliance focusing on Industry 4.0, cybersecurity, and digital strategy, with increased funding and expanded scope. The current stage emphasizes sustainability and advanced technologies like quantum computing and blockchain, along with joint initiatives and participation in research programs. It is found that over the decade of collaboration, the alliance has demonstrated the ability to adapt and evolve according to market and technological changes, based on the abilities of both partners to identify new opportunities, analyze market trends, and accordingly transform the alliance's business model. Thus continuous adaptation, investment in dynamic capabilities, and cooperative efforts with external partners are vital for maintaining mutually beneficial partnerships. The Siemens-Atos alliance serves as a case study illustrating how these capabilities can be effectively leveraged to achieve sustained success in a dynamic business environment.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Patient-Centered, Nonphysician Led Self-Monitoring Blood Pressure Program in a Rural Federally Qualified Health Center.

Uncontrolled hypertension can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, or death. Self-monitoring blood pressure (SMBP) programs have been associated with blood pressure (BP) reduction, particularly among rural, minority, and low-income individuals. There is limited literature about nonphysician SMBP programs. To evaluate the effectiveness of an SMBP program designed to engage nonphysician team members in hypertension management within a federally qualified health center (FQHC). Self-monitoring blood pressure program activities were implemented using a Plan, Do, Study, Act model. The University of Washington Health Promotion Research Center evaluated processes and patient-level outcomes in a mixed-methods design. Quantitative analysis examined clinical outcomes related to hypertension, and qualitative analysis relied on interviews with clinical staff examining program implementation, adoption, and sustainability. Family Health Centers (FHCs), a FQHC located in rural Washington, serving medically underserved populations. Two hundred five active SMBP patients out of 2600 adult patients (over 18years old) who had a diagnosis of hypertension within the last 12months. Patients with uncontrolled hypertension were given a BP cuff to log their daily BP. Patients met with community health workers (CHWs) and medical staff to review logs and set self-management goals over 3 to 4months. Controlled BP measurements and factors to implementation and sustainment. Facilitators to implementation included expanded telehealth reimbursement during the COVID-19 pandemic, integration of CHWs, and linguistically adapted resources. Barriers included a lack of reimbursement for nonphysician time and BP monitors. Quantitative results demonstrated an effort to reach minoritized populations but did not show an improvement in BP outcomes. Family Health Center implemented an SMBP program adapted to meet the linguistic and social needs of their patients. The successful integration of CHWs and the need for reimbursement policies to support SMBP programs were key factors for implementation and sustainability.

The influence of professional engineering certifications on offshore industry standards and practices

The offshore engineering industry plays a critical role in global energy production and infrastructure development. Ensuring quality, safety, and efficiency in offshore operations is paramount to the success and sustainability of these projects. This paper explores the significant impact of professional engineering certifications on offshore industry standards and practices, specifically focusing on how certifications contribute to enhancing quality, safety, and efficiency. Professional engineering certifications validate the skills and expertise of individuals working in the offshore sector, providing assurance to stakeholders that industry standards are being met. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, this paper examines the role of certifications in maintaining quality assurance, ensuring safety protocols, and enhancing operational efficiency. Certified professionals play a crucial role in implementing and adhering to stringent quality standards throughout offshore projects, ultimately reducing the risk of costly errors and project delays. Moreover, certifications equip professionals with the necessary knowledge and training to identify and mitigate safety hazards, thereby minimizing the likelihood of accidents and environmental disasters. In addition to quality and safety considerations, certifications also contribute to improving efficiency in offshore operations. Certified professionals are equipped with the latest industry best practices and technologies, enabling them to streamline processes, optimize resource utilization, and deliver projects on time and within budget. While professional certifications are instrumental in raising industry standards and practices, challenges such as access to training, certification maintenance, and evolving regulatory requirements remain. Addressing these challenges and promoting the adoption of certification programs are essential steps towards further enhancing the quality, safety, and efficiency of offshore engineering operations. Overall, this paper underscores the critical role of professional engineering certifications in shaping the future of the offshore industry, providing a roadmap for stakeholders to leverage certifications effectively to achieve their operational objectives. Keywords: Professional Engineering Certifications, Offshore Industry Standards, Quality, Safety, Efficiency, Offshore engineering operations.

16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and antimicrobial resistance profile of intensive care units environment in 41 Brazilian hospitals.

Infections acquired during healthcare setting stay pose significant public health threats. These infections are known as Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI), mostly caused by pathogenic bacteria, which exhibit a wide range of antimicrobial resistance. Currently, there is no knowledge about the global cleaning process of hospitals and the bacterial diversity found in ICUs of Brazilian hospitals contributing to HAI. Characterize the microbiome and common antimicrobial resistance genes present in high-touch Intensive Care Unit (ICU) surfaces, and to identify the potential contamination of the sanitizers/processes used to clean hospital surfaces. In this national, multicenter, observational, and prospective cohort, bacterial profiles and several antimicrobial resistance genes from 41 hospitals across 16 Brazilian states were evaluated. Using high-throughput 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and real-time PCR, the bacterial abundance and resistance genes presence were analyzed in both ICU environments and cleaning products. We identified a wide diversity of microbial populations with a recurring presence of HAI-related bacteria among most of the hospitals. The median bacterial positivity rate in surface samples was high (88.24%), varying from 21.62 to 100% in different hospitals. Hospitals with the highest bacterial load in samples were also the ones with highest HAI-related abundances. Streptococcus spp., Corynebacterium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Acinetobacter spp., and bacteria from the Flavobacteriaceae family were the microorganisms most found across all hospitals. Despite each hospital particularities in bacterial composition, clustering profiles were found for surfaces and locations in the ICU. Antimicrobial resistance genes mecA, bla KPC-like, bla NDM-like, and bla OXA-23-like were the most frequently detected in surface samples. A wide variety of sanitizers were collected, with 19 different active principles in-use, and 21% of the solutions collected showed viable bacterial growth with antimicrobial resistance genes detected. This study demonstrated a diverse and spread pattern of bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes covering a large part of the national territory in ICU surface samples and in sanitizers solutions. This data should contribute to the adoption of surveillance programs to improve HAI control strategies and demonstrate that large-scale epidemiology studies must be performed to further understand the implications of bacterial contamination in hospital surfaces and sanitizer solutions.

The Impact of Globalization on Cultural Identity

Purpose: The general objective of the study was to investigate the impact of globalization on cultural identity. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to the impact of globalization on cultural identity. Preliminary empirical review revealed that globalization had a profound impact on cultural identity, reshaping perceptions and facilitating cultural exchange, which enriched local cultures but also challenged traditional norms. This led to the emergence of hybrid cultural forms, blending local and global elements, while also posing threats of cultural homogenization and the erosion of unique identities due to the dominance of global media and consumer culture. Efforts to preserve local traditions and promote cultural resilience were deemed crucial, including the adoption of supportive cultural policies and educational programs that emphasized cultural diversity and heritage. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Cultural Hybridization Theory, Cultural Homogenization Theory and World-System Theory may be used to anchor future studies on globalization and cultural identity. The study on the impact of globalization on cultural identity recommended advancing theoretical frameworks to better understand cultural interactions, implementing cultural education and awareness programs, and developing policies to protect and promote cultural diversity. It highlighted the need for legal protections for cultural rights, community engagement in cultural initiatives, and continuous research and monitoring of globalization’s effects on cultural identity. These recommendations aimed to enhance cultural preservation, support cultural expression, and ensure the resilience and sustainability of diverse cultural identities in a globalized world.

Connecting Practice to Data: Implementation Strategies to Increase Collection of Core Outcome Measures in an Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility.

To describe a quality improvement project aimed at increasing collection of a "Core Set" of functional outcome measures in an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF), characterize implementation strategies used across 4 study phases, and evaluate program adoption and maintenance. A 30-bed brain injury unit of a 132-bed IRF. Participants included physical therapists (5 full-time, 2 part-time, and 30 hourly as needed) and 764 individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) who received care during the project period. In this descriptive observational study, we operationalize implementation strategies selected for 4 project phases: Exploration, Preparation, Implementation, and Sustainment. We define each implementation strategy using the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change and report on program adoption and maintenance. Adoption (proportion of TBI-related admissions with completed outcome measures) and maintenance (adoption over 4years). Preparation phase strategies focused on local adaptations, education, environmental preparation, and collaboration with informatics. Implementation phase strategies included reminders, feedback, champions, and iterative adjustments. Sustainment strategies focused on integration into standard practice. Adoption increased postinitiation for all measures except one. Despite improvements, a notable portion of measures remained incomplete. Increases in outcome measure collection were maintained for 2 to 4years, but a significant decline in paired admission and discharge scores suggests a reduced ability to monitor change over time. This study provides an example of a clinically driven quality improvement project and selected implementation strategies used to increase the collection of standard outcome measures in IRF. By leveraging the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change framework, we aim to enhance comparability with similar efforts elsewhere. The results demonstrate the program's successes and challenges, highlighting the need for interdisciplinary clinical and research collaboration to support the translation of knowledge between research and clinical practice and inform meaningful improvements in care across TBI rehabilitation.

“A Blessing and a Curse”: The Impact of Sociopolitical Events and National Discourse Surrounding Sexual Violence on College Campuses

Abstract Purpose Examining the influence of policy change and socio-political factors is paramount for contextualizing and addressing sexual violence. The purpose of this paper is to provide findings from a secondary qualitative analysis of the impacts of national and local high-profile events on the dialogue and actions surrounding violence prevention and response on college campuses. Methods Data from mcBEE, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded project exploring the adoption and implementation of violence prevention programming on multiple college campuses in the United States were used for this analysis. Data include responses from 60-min telephone interviews with key informants (i.e., campus personnel in administrative roles or connected to violence prevention programming efforts) between 2017 and 2019. Results Interviews (n = 68) revealed that high-profile events (i.e., Title IX legislation, news coverage of sexual assault cases, and the #MeToo and It’s On Us movements) increased dialogue about violence prevention and response on some campuses, while others experienced activism and advocacy surrounding sexual assault, including greater accountability and response from campus leadership. Some participants connected national political discourse (i.e., the 2016 presidential election, Brett Kavanaugh nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court) to increases in violence perpetration and decreased reporting and help-seeking behaviors after sexual assault. Conclusions Sociopolitical events and shifts in national dialogue surrounding violence affect perceptions and behaviors among students, faculty, staff, and overall college campus communities. Identifying potential impacts of national events can inform future prevention and response efforts and mobilize campus communities toward meaningful change.

What is needed for improved uptake and adoption of digital aftercare programs by cancer survivors: a mixed methods study applying the COM-B model.

Cancer survivors face physical, lifestyle, psychological, and psychosocial challenges. Despite the availability of aftercare services, survivors still have unmet needs. Digital aftercare programs may offer support, but their use is limited. This study aimed to examine what is needed to improve uptake and adoption of these programs. Additionally, it explored sociodemographic and clinical variables that may influence these needs. A mixed-methods approach was used, involving qualitative interviews and a questionnaire. The research was guided by the COM-B model of behaviour, which considers capability, opportunity, and motivation crucial for behaviour. Qualitative analysis was performed using the framework method. Statistical analyses involved descriptive statistics and regression analysis. Fourteen cancer survivors were interviewed, and 213 participants completed the questionnaire. Findings indicated that most respondents had a positive or neutral attitude towards digital aftercare programs, believing these could address their cancer-related challenges. Still, only a small percentage had experience with them, and most were unaware of their existence. Many expressed a desire to be informed about them. Some were uncertain about their effectiveness. Others were concerned about a lack of reimbursement. No significant influence of the sociodemographic and clinical variables was found. Cancer survivors are generally positive about digital aftercare programs but are often unaware of their availability. Raising awareness, clarifying their value, and providing support and reimbursement could enhance uptake and adoption. The current insights can help improve participation in digital aftercare programs, ultimately fosteringhealth, well-being, and quality of life of cancer survivors.

Budget Impact Analysis for the Spread and Financial Sustainability of Videoconference Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs

Background: In rural areas, antimicrobial stewardship programs often have limited access to infectious disease (ID) expertise. Videoconference Antimicrobial Stewardship Teams (VASTs) pair rural Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers with an ID expert to discuss treatment of patients with concerns for infection. In a pilot study, VASTs were effective at improving antimicrobial use. Here, we evaluated 12-month operating costs for staffing for 3 VASTs. Methods: We used the following data to describe 12 months of clinical encounters for 3 VASTs operating from January 2022 – March 2023: the number of VAST sessions completed and clinical encounters; Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes associated with clinical encounters; session attendees (by role) and the time spent (percent effort) on VAST-related activities. The annual operating cost was based on the annual salaries and percent effort of VAST attendees. We used these characteristics combined with private-sector and Medicare reimbursements to evaluate the cost of implementation and number of clinical encounters needed to offset those costs (breakeven) for each site. Results: Three VASTs recorded 229 clinical encounters during 117 sessions (Table 1). Based on CPT codes, the approximate revenue per patient was $516.46. Site A, the only site to break even, had the most sessions and clinical encounters as well as the lowest operating costs. For Site B, a slight increase in the clinical encounters, which might be achieved by 3 additional VAST sessions, would help achieve breakeven. For Site C, increasing the number of clinical encounters to 3-4 per session would have helped their VAST break even without requiring a decrease in operating costs. Conclusions: The frequency of VAST sessions, volume of clinical encounters, and low operating costs all contributed the VAST at Site A achieving a financial break-even point within 12 months. Consideration of the potential number of clinical encounters and sessions will help other VASTs achieve financial sustainment, independent of cost-savings related to potential decreases in expenditures for antibiotics and antibiotic-related adverse events. These results also provide insight into possible adoption and diffusion of VAST-like programs in the Medicare hospital setting.

The role of the “Madeni Mura” Program in the context of the nation-building policy of Kazakhstan

The article provides a comprehensive historical analysis of the history of the origin of the state program “cultural heritage” adopted by the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2004, the search for valuable documents, manuscripts, books, information related to the history of Kazakhstan from foreign archives and libraries, which became one of the most important areas within the framework of the program, their copying and import into the country, thereby enriching our spiritual and cultural heritage. This program was accepted by Kazakhstanis with great pleasure. Cultural heritage is a sign of a civilized society. The program consists of spiritual and moral values, as well as a comprehensive work taken to pass on the rich historical heritage of our people from generation to generation. The preservation of cultural heritage is of great importance for each of the peoples of the world. The program is aimed at developing and consolidating the national consciousness of Kazakhstanis. The purpose of writing the article by the authors is to determine the role of the Mindeni Mura program in considering the state-building policy of Kazakhstan over the years of independence, and to conduct a historical analysis.The relevance of the article lies in the fact that in the history of an independent country, the adoption of state programs in this direction is very important. Within the framework of the state program “Madeni Mura”, the rich historical heritage of our people was enriched with valuable relics from foreign archives. This program was the beginning of the subsequent programs “People in the Stream of History”, “Archive-2025”. The authors conclude that the study and introduction into scientific circulation of valuable documents brought to the country through the Madeni Mura Heritage program was a great step in the development of Kazakhstan's State-Building policy.

Implementation outcomes of the Philadelphia Police School Diversion Program: A school-based alternative-to-arrest initiative

ABSTRACT Evaluations of juvenile and criminal legal system programs typically focus on outcomes related to program impacts, or effectiveness. However, implementation outcomes – which relate to the processes underlying program execution – are equally as critical to determining program success. Adding to the burgeoning interest in applying implementation science principles to legal system interventions, the current study examined implementation outcomes of the Philadelphia Police School Diversion Program – a school-based, alternative-to-arrest program that has already demonstrated promising effectiveness outcomes. Through qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with 11 school and police stakeholders and quantitative analysis of police data for 2,047 school-based arrests in Philadelphia that occurred during the first five years of program operation, we explored outcomes related to Diversion Program adoption, appropriateness, acceptability, fidelity, penetration/reach, and sustainability, as well as stakeholder thoughts about program expansion and replication. Results revealed several important components of program implementation that contributed to its widespread adoption and sustained operations.
