This event provides students from various health disciplines with an opportunity for collaborative experiential learning in realistic, risk-free health and community-care settings. The simulations span the entire care continuum and include postoperative, home care, continuing care, prenatal, sports medicine, and team interviews in diverse clinical and community settings. Simulation modalities include mannequins, standardized patients, and virtual worlds. Complementing the simulation exercises are additional educational activities centering on teamwork and communication and using innovative teaching approaches that range from visual and performing arts to multimedia presentations and electronic charting. The focus of all activities in this resource is on interprofessional communication, collaboration, and role clarification. The resource concentrates on three types of activities: main simulations, mini-simulations, and teamwork and communication activities. This resource has been delivered to over 350 students and has provided facilitation opportunities for more than 100 educators from eight organizations. Preliminary analysis of the data shows that this event has a significant impact on students' appreciation of other discipline perspectives as well as on their knowledge of their own role and the roles of others, including role overlaps. Educational Objectives By the end of this resource, learners will be able to: Demonstrate effective verbal and nonverbal communication for patient safety.Communicate effectively in transitions in care to ensure the safety of patients.Demonstrate understanding of the principles of teamwork dynamics and team processes to enable effective interprofessional collaboration.Recognize competing priorities of health disciplines and encourage collaboration.Explore the professional roles and responsibilities of another profession and reflect on the areas of overlap between different professions.

Abstracts of the European Headache and Migraine Trust International Congress, September 20-23, 2012, London, United Kingdom.

There is little doubt about the strong contribution of genetic factors to migraine occurrence. However, while specific genes have been identified for the rare familiar hemiplegic migraine form, the contribution of genetic factors to more common forms of migraine on the population-level remains challenging. The complex heterogeneous clinical presentation, multifactorial triggering factors, and involvement of other disorders contribute to the difficulties identifying specific genetic variants for common migraine forms. Candidate gene association studies did not show convincing results and replication often failed. Recent collaborations of clinic- and population-based studies have identified several genetic variants in specific migraine subgroups but also on the population level. In addition, several studies have evaluated the role of genetic factors in the interrelationships of migraine and specific comorbidities. Some of the variants point towards involvement of biological reasonable mechanisms while the role of others remains unclear. This talk will summarize recent advances in migraine genetics in clinic- and population-based settings, discuss potential implications and pitfalls, as well as outlines future directions.

<em>The Making of the West End Stage: Marriage, Management and the Mapping of Gender in London, 1830–1870</em>, by Jacky Bratton

Reviewed by: The Making of the West End Stage: Marriage, Management and the Mapping of Gender in London, 1830–1870 by Jacky Bratton Jim Davis (bio) The Making of the West End Stage: Marriage, Management and the Mapping of Gender in London, 1830–1870, by Jacky Bratton; pp. vii + 222. Cambridge and New York: Cambridge University Press, 2011, £58.00, $103.00. Jacky Bratton’s monograph provides a revisionist account of the way in which the West End developed as a theatrical centre from 1830 to 1870, breaking with past histories that have been dismissive of the exuberant, iconoclastic, and disruptive nature of what was happening during these years. A champion of popular culture and of the role that women played in developing West End theatrical culture, Bratton rejects a narrative of Victorian theatre history that moves inexorably to the high culture achievements of Henry Irving’s Lyceum or the new drama of George Bernard Shaw and Henrik Ibsen. Instead she provides a detailed and convincing analysis of the West End’s mid-century development, revealing the socioeconomic, political, and gendered factors that were to impact on its growth as a theatrical centre. Bratton commences by effectively mapping out the terrain of the West End from the perspective of a Victorian woman walking in the city, showing how much there was on offer for her. She also provides the alternative perspective of a Victorian man. The West End, in Bratton’s view, was evanescent, continually in a state of flux. In order to show the range of popular entertainments there, at a time when middle-class anxieties around culture, behaviour, and reception were beginning to emerge, she uses The [End Page 533] Era’s advertising pages to illustrate what was on offer, particularly focussing on the rarely discussed German Reed Entertainments. Bratton considers the issue of what it actually meant to write for the stage in the mid-nineteenth century, not only in the context of the debate over the dignity of the theatre and the social status of authors, but also with respect to notions of manliness, male identity, and the homosocial sphere of Bohemia. Though excluded from Bohemia and its clubs, women were still part of the burgeoning commercial culture of West End theatre. How did they fit in? Bratton argues that women’s importance increased as men’s role in society became more restricted. She claims that the 1830s and 1840s saw a crisis in category, of both gender and forms of entertainment. In such an unsettled climate, some contemporary plays tightened and confirmed gender boundaries, while cross-dressed roles in others allowed for greater flexibility of thinking. The transvestite attractions of Eliza Vestris’s cross-dressed roles seemed threatening to some: women playing men and boys worked against contemporary assumptions about masculinity. But Bratton also draws attention to the ways in which the experiments with gender representation of Marcia Honner, Marie Wilton, Ellen Tree (Mrs. Charles Kean), Fanny Stirling, Priscilla Horton (Mrs. German Reed), Mary Anne Keeley, and Céline Céleste contributed to their successes. She suggests that the gender boundaries and ethical ideals of Victorian middle-class society were subverted and redefined by these performers, who helped to make the West End a place “where there would be forever license and holiday, bright lights and naughtiness” (144). By the late nineteenth century the climate had become more misogynistic, but Bratton provides compelling evidence that in the mid-century a considerable number of women were involved in theatre management—far more than subsequent histories have credited. There were restrictions in force that made it difficult for women to borrow or to set up their own businesses, so that their forays into management often relied upon family and personal relationships. Thus the Swanborough family, who were responsible for the development and popularity of burlesque at the Strand Theatre, were particularly beholden to the managerial skills of both Ada Swanborough and her mother. Women managers were sometimes subsidised by rich lovers, as was the case with Louisa Herbert at the St. James’s Theatre. Céleste’s managerial success initially derived from her relationship with actor-manager Ben Webster. But women’s involvement was also achieved through...

Unsung heroes

Since the introduction of the three year degree programme in 2003, social work education has undergone a number of significant changes. The time students spend on placement has been increased to two hundred days, and the range of placement opportunities and the way in which these placements have been configured has significantly diversified. A consistent feature over the years, however, has been the presence of a Practice Educator (PE) who has guided, assessed and taught the student whilst on placement. Unsurprisingly, the role of the PE and the pivotal relationship they have with the student has been explored in the past and features in social work literature.This paper, however, concentrates on a range of other relationships which are of significance in providing support to students on placement. In particular it draws on research to discuss the role of the university contact tutor, the place of the wider team in which the student is sited, and the support offered by family, friends and others.Placements and the work undertaken by PE’s will continue to be integral to the delivery of social work education. It is, however, essential to recognise and value the often over looked role of others in providing support to students on placement.

Risk factors for skin cancer development in patients after organ transplantation

Cancer has become the second most common cause of death in patients after organ transplantation. Among all cancers arising de novo after transplantation skin cancers are the most common, accounting for 95% of all skin neoplasms. Due to the significantly higher morbidity, aggressive, rapid progression of cancer and unfavorable prognosis, the population requires a specific oncological approach. Therefore, special attention should be paid to factors predisposing to the development of cancer, including skin cancer, in patients after organ transplantation. Some of these factors are well understood, while the role of others is still ambiguous. Among the etiological factors mentioned are those that are associated with the recipient. These include genetic factors such as male sex, fair skin and inability to be tanned, and compatibility of the HLA system, and non genetic factors such as patient age, chronic skin ulcers and scars, the type of transplanted organ, immunosuppression, and particularly the type and cumulative doses of drugs. In addition, the pathogenesis of cancer is influenced by environmental factors such as exposure to sunlight and therefore latitude, ionizing radiation, chemical carcinogens and viral infections. Knowledge of etiological factors and mechanisms of etiopathogenesis allow for indication and observation of patients with increased risk of cancer as well as faster healing in these patients.

What Do Leaders Think? Reflections on the Implementation of Higher Education Reforms in Armenia

Leader perceptions of higher education reforms in Armenia are examined in order to gain an insight into how they view the reforms, their role in the reforms and the roles of others. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six Armenian higher education leaders and analysed in terms of the following five aspects relevant to leadership: policy transfer and diffusion; change knowledge; emotional intelligence; leadership approach; and causal attribution. The leaders spoke positively about the reform efforts but blamed teachers, government, students and society for the failure of the reform efforts in Armenia. The conclusion is that, irrelevant of whether the change is top-down or bottom-up, it is destined to fail if the change knowledge of the actual implementers is not taken into consideration, an active dialogue does not occur with the actual implementers of the changes and the implements of change are thus not involved in the reform process.

Mothers' breastfeeding experiences and implications for professionals

Twenty percent of babies in the UK are receiving breast milk for the recommended 6 months, suggesting that long-term breastfeeding is untenable for many mothers. This article reviews research on breastfeeding experiences and analyses six mothers' experiences of initiating and ceasing, or continuing breastfeeding. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to understand how they made sense of their breastfeeding experiences. All had breastfed in the last year, had similar socioeconomic backgrounds, and varied in their breastfeeding durations from up to 1 month, for 1-6 months and more than 6 months. Three major themes emerged: 1) reality of breastfeeding was highly discrepant from expectations, 2) the role of others in sustaining breastfeeding, and 3) feelings of guilt. Breastfeeding promotions that focus on biological benefits of breastfeeding without regard for psychosocial factors create a moral dilemma for mothers. Educational and counselling interventions using a biopsychosocial perspective can help mothers make informed feeding decisions.

Recalque originário, gênero e sofrimento psíquico

São propostas, neste artigo, articulações entre o recalque originário, compreendido desde a teoria da sedução generalizada de Jean Laplanche, e o conceito de gênero. O enfoque principal será o papel da alteridade na formação do conflito psíquico em suas relações com o gênero, o sexo e a identificação. Por essas articulações, procura-se demonstrar como o conceito de gênero ocupa lugar fundamental dentro da metapsicologia psicanalítica. Em seguida, serão exploradas as vicissitudes que a identidade de gênero pode vir a assumir na masculinidade e na feminilidade, procurando entender a especificidade do sofrimento psíquico ligado a cada uma dessas categorias.

1471P - Announcing Cancer in a Developing Country: How is it Different?

ABSTRACT Background Announcing a cancer diagnosis, but also a relapse, a progression of the disease, or transition towards palliative care constitute particularly difficult communication issues for the patient as well as for the clinician, during the trajectory of care. The study aimed to describe the difficulties in establishing a “good” announcing consultation, to provide indications or even recommendations on the ways to facilitate communication in order to ensure a optimal quality of care, responding to patients needs and ensuring the continuity of the care. Patients and methods A semi-directive questionnaire with 21 items in Arabic were conducted in patients with cancer to evaluate their perception of the announcement of cancer. Results 189 patients aged 18-78 years participated in the questionnaire. Participation was on a voluntary basis and patients were informed they could be accompanied by an outside person if they wished. The analysis revealed that several factors determined the quality of the relation as perceived by the patient receiving the announcement of cancer: the relationship between the patient and the physician prior to the announcement, the practitioner's consideration of the role of others (family, friends) close to the patient, the practitioner's respect of the patient's desire for information, and the modalities of the announcement. Modalities considered to be favorable were: the physician's empathy and availability, a progressive announcement using clear terms, presence of family or friends at the time of the announcement if desired by the patient, absence of half-truths or lies. Conclusion Announcing a diagnosis of cancer is a major challenge to the physician's technical competence and human qualities. This is probably one of the greatest challenges that we have to face in oncology. This work confirmed that better knowledge of the patient's experience is useful for examining our practices for announcing the diagnosis of cancer.

Classifying Inputs and Outputs with Fuzzy Data

Data envelopment analysis is a nonparametric technique checking efficiency of DMUs using math programming. In conventional DEA, it has been assumed that the status of each measure is clearly known as either input or output. However in some situations, a performance measure can play input role for some DMUs and output role for others. There are different models for classifying inputs and outputs, but all of these models are with crisp data. In this paper we want to classify inputs and outputs when all of the DMUs have symmetrical triangular fuzzy inputs and outputs and flexible measures. The basic idea is to transform the fuzzy model into a crisp linear programming problem by applying an $\alpha$-cut approach.Finally, a numerical example is proposed to display the application of this method.

Interprofessional learning enhances knowledge of roles but is less able to shift attitudes: a case study from dental education

Interprofessional education (IPE) purports to improve team working through improved knowledge of the roles of others, and by engendering mutual respect. This case study aimed to determine the impact of an IPE curriculum on knowledge and attitudes of dentistry and dental technology students undertaking these curricula in the new School of Dentistry and Oral Health at Griffith University. All dental technology students and third- and final- (fifth) year dentistry students were invited to participate. A mixed-method approach was used to compare attitudes, perceptions and experiences of students involved in our IPE curricula. Quantitative data were evaluated with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), and qualitative findings were explored through an Excel(®) spreadsheet coding frame tested against Leximancer™ qualitative software for consistency. Forty-six of the 131 eligible students participated. Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scales (RIPLS) and focus groups consistently showed that IPE positively influenced professional identity and improved communication between and amongst all students and assisted them in developing their roles. A prevailing sense of greater importance and a lack of mutual respect between dentistry and dental technology students were, unfortunately, evident. The process was, however, sufficient to enhance teamwork and collaboration when planned learning revolved around explicit patient care in the provision of dental prostheses. Further development of such curricula is needed to maximise IP learning (IPL) opportunities, to shift traditional attitudes and, potentially, to improve the outcomes of patient care. To enable this, academic and clinical leaders need to embrace the ideals of IPE.

Role of Slug transcription factor in human mesenchymal stem cells

The pathways that control mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiation are not well understood, and although some of the involved transcription factors (TFs) have been characterized, the role of others remains unclear. We used human MSCs from tibial plateau (TP) trabecular bone, iliac crest (IC) bone marrow and Wharton’s jelly (WJ) umbilical cord demonstrating a variability in their mineral matrix deposition, and in the expression levels of TFs including Runx2, Sox9, Sox5, Sox6, STAT1 and Slug, all involved in the control of osteochondroprogenitors differentiation program. Because we reasoned that the basal expression level of some TFs with crucial role in the control of MSC fate may be correlated with osteogenic potential, we considered the possibility to affect the hMSCs behaviour by using gene silencing approach without exposing cells to induction media. In this study we found that Slug-silenced cells changed in morphology, decreased in their migration ability, increased Sox9 and Sox5 and decreased Sox6 and STAT1 expression. On the contrary, the effect of Slug depletion on Runx2 was influenced by cell type. Interestingly, we demonstrated a direct in vivo regulatory action of Slug by chromatin immunoprecipitation, showing a specific recruitment of this TF in the promoter of Runx2 and Sox9 genes. As a whole, our findings have important potential implication on bone tissue engineering applications, reinforcing the concept that manipulation of specific TF expression levels may elucidate MSC biology and the molecular mechanisms, which promote osteogenic differentiation.

Particular characteristics of allergic symptoms in tropical environments: follow up to 24 months in the FRAAT birth cohort study

BackgroundEarly wheezing and asthma are relevant health problems in the tropics. Mite sensitization is an important risk factor, but the roles of others, inherent in poverty, are unknown. We designed a birth-cohort study in Cartagena (Colombia) to investigate genetic and environmental risk factors for asthma and atopy, considering as particular features perennial exposure to mites, parasite infections and poor living conditions.MethodsPregnant women representative of the low-income suburbs of the city were randomly screened for eligibility at delivery; 326 mother-infant pairs were included at baseline and biological samples were collected from birth to 24 months for immunological testing, molecular genetics and gene expression analysis. Pre and post-natal information was collected using questionnaires.Results94% of families were from the poorest communes of the city, 40% lacked sewage and 11% tap-water. Intestinal parasites were found as early as 3 months; by the second year, 37.9% of children have had parasites and 5.22% detectable eggs of Ascaris lumbricoides in stools (Median 3458 epg, IQR 975-9256). The prevalence of "wheezing ever" was 17.5% at 6 months, 31.1% at 12 months and 38.3% at 24 months; and recurrent wheezing (3 or more episodes) 7.1% at 12 months and 14.2% at 24 months. Maternal rhinitis [aOR 3.03 (95%CI 1.60-5.74), p = 0.001] and male gender [aOR 2.09 (95%CI 1.09 - 4.01), p = 0.026], increased risk for wheezing at 6 months. At 24 months, maternal asthma was the main predisposing factor for wheezing [aOR 3.65 (95%CI 1.23-10.8), p = 0.01]. Clinical symptoms of milk/egg allergy or other food-induced allergies were scarce (1.8%) and no case of atopic eczema was observed.ConclusionsWheezing is the most frequent phenotype during the first 24 months of life and is strongly associated with maternal asthma. At 24 months, the natural history of allergic symptoms is different to the "atopic march" described in some industrialized countries. This cohort is representative of socially deprived urban areas of underdeveloped tropical countries. The collection of biological samples, data on exposure and defined phenotypes, will contribute to understand the gene/environment interactions leading to allergy inception and evolution.

Interrelationships between yeast ribosomal protein assembly events and transient ribosome biogenesis factors interactions in early pre-ribosomes.

Early steps of eukaryotic ribosome biogenesis require a large set of ribosome biogenesis factors which transiently interact with nascent rRNA precursors (pre-rRNA). Most likely, concomitant with that initial contacts between ribosomal proteins (r-proteins) and ribosome precursors (pre-ribosomes) are established which are converted into robust interactions between pre-rRNA and r-proteins during the course of ribosome maturation. Here we analysed the interrelationship between r-protein assembly events and the transient interactions of ribosome biogenesis factors with early pre-ribosomal intermediates termed 90S pre-ribosomes or small ribosomal subunit (SSU) processome in yeast cells. We observed that components of the SSU processome UTP-A and UTP-B sub-modules were recruited to early pre-ribosomes independently of all tested r-proteins. On the other hand, groups of SSU processome components were identified whose association with early pre-ribosomes was affected by specific r-protein assembly events in the head-platform interface of the SSU. One of these components, Noc4p, appeared to be itself required for robust incorporation of r-proteins into the SSU head domain. Altogether, the data reveal an emerging network of specific interrelationships between local r-protein assembly events and the functional interactions of SSU processome components with early pre-ribosomes. They point towards some of these components being transient primary pre-rRNA in vivo binders and towards a role for others in coordinating the assembly of major SSU domains.

Working together online to enhance learner autonomy: Analysis of learners’ perceptions of their online learning experience

AbstractThis study concerns the development of autonomy in adult learners working on an online learning platform as part of a professional master's degree programme in “French as a Foreign Language”. Our goal was to identify the influence of reflective and collaborative dimensions on the construction of autonomy for online learners in this programme. The material used was 27 self-analysis papers in response to an assignment which asked students to review their distance learning experience (reflective dimension) and to highlight the role of others, if any, in their learning (collaborative dimension). In addition to these two major points, the analysis by category of the body of results shows principally that in qualitative terms, the factors of autonomisation for online learning are interconnected and include: the difficulties related to distance learning and the strategies that learners develop to face those difficulties, the importance of interpersonal relationships in social and emotional terms in overcoming those difficulties, the specific modes of sociability developed for distance learning and the related development of a new type of autonomy that is both individual and collective. The discussion examines the creation, over the course of time, of a new “distance learning culture” that is nonetheless never easy to create and share.

Operating Leases and Credit Assessments

Operating leases have grown significantly as a source of corporate financing over the last 30 years. Their off-balance sheet treatment, which may in part explain their popularity, raises concern that financial risk may be misjudged and capital misallocated. Prior research evidence on the above issue is mixed. To improve reporting transparency, regulators propose a new accounting concept, right of use, which will add the present value of most leases to the balance sheet. We examine the effect of operating leases on loan pricing by banks, a sophisticated financial statement user. Since leases are a potential debt substitute, we expect them to be important in our setting. With loan spreads as the dependent variable, we test the differential explanatory power and model fit of as-reported financial ratios versus financial ratios adjusted for the capitalization of operating leases. We find that lease-adjusted financial ratios better explain loan spreads, especially for larger lenders. Our results also suggest that retailer leases that are closer in substance to rental agreements than financed asset purchases are less relevant for credit risk assessments. Thus we conclude that banks not only price operating leases, on average, but also make distinctions about which leases should be priced. Second, we explore the role of credit rating agencies and confirm that credit ratings also reflect capitalized operating leases, and find support for an informational role for others’ credit assessments. However, unlike banks, rating agencies appear to capitalize all operating leases mechanically. Overall, our results suggest that banks and rating agencies adjust for the off-balance sheet presentation of operating leases and, at least in the case of banks, attempt to do so to reflect the underlying economics of the leases. This evidence lessens concern over the potential negative consequences of existing operating lease accounting and raises concern over proposed accounting that capitalizes all leases regardless of their economic characteristics.

Interaction between one's own and others' procedural justice perceptions and citizenship behaviors in organizational teams: The moderating role of group identification.

Focusing on the social aspects of procedural justice (PJ), we examine the interaction between one’s own and others’ PJ perceptions in organizational teams. The results derived from 183 employees of 21 work teams indicate that one’s own PJ perception is a positive predictor of helping and creative behavior only when others’ PJ perception is low. The role of others’ PJ as a moderator of the relationship between one’s own PJ and helping behavior is stronger when a member’s group identification is low than when it is high. This study reveals an intriguing social-comparison process involving PJ in organizations.

The significance of teamwork during a medical emergency

Teamwork is essential when dealing with a medical emergency. A dental nurse needs to understand not only her role, but also the role of others in the dental practice. It is essential that a dental nurse is prepared and trained in identifying and treating medical emergencies, says Trudie Dawson

Religiosity and Spirituality in Military Veteran Cancer Survivors: A Qualitative Perspective

Religiosity/spirituality (R/S) is often involved in coping with cancer. Qualitative research effectively captures the individuality of R/S constructs. Fourteen military veteran cancer survivors participated in focus groups. R/S questions included “How have your religious/spiritual beliefs affected how you cope with your cancer” and “How have your religious/spiritual beliefs changed as a result of your experience with cancer?” Five primary themes emerged: impact of cancer on R/S, meaning-making, prayer, religious/spiritual role of others, and facing death. Consistency and individuality characterized the role of R/S in cancer survivorship across themes. Implications for future research are discussed.
