As complexity challenges healthcare providers across disciplines, calls arise for greater collaboration across settings and disciplines. In this column, the importance of honoring the wisdom of the diverse perspectives of collaborators with varying educational and experiential backgrounds is explored. For authentic collaboration to be possible, collaborators must have a solid theoretical, scientific, and experiential foundation within their particular discipline. The challenge for nurse faculty is to prepare students for collaboration by providing teaching-learning opportunities for building a solid foundation in the discipline, being clear about the distinctions across disciplines as well as the distinctions among the many degree levels within nursing.

Giving birth to a child with Down syndrome is a choice and one that should be well-informed. It has become a trend for expectant parents to abort fetuses with Down syndrome before fully weighing their options.[1] Expectant parents may automatically assume that an individual with Down syndrome will not lead a worthwhile life and that raising the child will pose too many challenges for them.[2] In order to minimize the number of fetuses with Down syndrome that are being aborted (which may be greater than 90%),[3] expectant parents need access to up-to-date, comprehensive information about all aspects of raising a child with Down syndrome, including the many positive aspects.

Part IV examines current state and federal laws that require healthcare providers to give information to expectant mothers who receive a prenatal Down syndrome diagnosis. Part IV also addresses why a law requiring post-Down syndrome diagnosis information is not unduly burdensome. Specifically, Part IV looks closely at the Prenatally and Postnatally Diagnosed Conditions Awareness Act and state statutes in Missouri, New Jersey, Alabama, and Virginia.  Part V discusses why laws already enacted on this issue are inadequate and proposes a model statute that all states can follow in crafting their own similar laws. Finally, Part V addresses potential concerns related to the proposed law like cost, enforcement, and First Amendment rights, and how those issues may be resolved.

Quantitative Consideration

The developments in the field of residual stress determination during the last decades have contributed to a better understanding of the origins and sources of residual stresses in different engineering disciplines. The many investigations concerning the behavior of residual stresses under mechanical loading have also provided a solid foundation to clarify the important aspects of residual stresses and fatigue. The question that arises now is if this available body of knowledge is being used effectively in the field of welding technology to design and construct structures with better fatigue performances. In this paper the necessity of the development of the concept residual stress engineering for welds in which wanted residual stress states are tailored for specific cases by appropriate means will be discussed. The possibilities of the quantitative consideration of the benefits in the fatigue design codes will be presented in a practical example.

Divisibility Problem

The following is a description of an elementary divisibility test appropriate for students in grades 7 and 8 as an enrichment unit. It offers the average student a golden opportunity to join the ranks of the mathematical discoverers. The brighter student will enjoy refining the process and exploring the many open-ended learning opportunities that the test provides. The simplicity of this very general test as well as the ease with which its underlying principle can be grasped further enhance its attractiveness. The use of divisibility by nine and eleven in checks of computations is an added reason for introducing students to a test of divisibility. As illustrations, we shall consider divisibility by six and by eleven. The procedure may be applied in like manner to any divisibility problem.

14634 Background: While EPO is widely used in the management of CT-related anemia, anemia in cancer pts may stem from causes other than CT. Tumor invasion of the bone marrow and cytokine-mediated inhibition of erythropoiesis are among the many disease-related causes of anemia in cancer. Data evaluating the use of EPO in pts not receiving CT or RT, particularly in specific tumor types, would be important information to healthcare providers. Methods: An open-label, prospective, non-randomized, multicenter pilot study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EPO 40,000 U QW in anemic (hemoglobin [Hb] ≤ 11 g/dL) cancer pts not receiving CT or RT1. (Blood 2004;104:abstract 4223.) Treatment duration was up to 12 wks with a 4-wk post-treatment observation period. Primary efficacy endpoint was hematopoietic response during the treatment period (% of pts achieving a ≥ 1 or ≥ 2 g/dL Hb increase from baseline [BL]). Secondary endpoints included change from BL in quality of life as measured by the Linear Analog Scale Assessment (LASA). This is a retrospective subset analysis of PC pts (n = 24) enrolled in the prospective study. Results: For the safety population (all pts who received ≥ 1 EPO dose, n = 23), mean age was 71.4 ± 6.8 yrs; 21 (91.3%) had ECOG status of 0 or 1; and mean BL Hb was 10.4 ± 0.8 g/dL. Of 21 pts evaluated for efficacy, 17 (81.0%) achieved Hb increase from BL ≥ 2 g/dL, while 19 (90.5%) achieved ≥ 1 g/dL by wk 17/early withdrawal. EPO dose was increased in 5 (23.8%) pts (to 60,000 U for Hb increase < 1 g/dL after 4 wks) and held in 16 (76.2%) pts (due to Hb > 13 g/dL, with dosing resumed when Hb was ≤12 g/dL, at 30,000 U from 40,000 U or at 40,000 U from 60,000 U). Both Wk 9 and 17 LASA scores increased significantly from BL in all categories (Energy Level, Daily Activities, and Quality of Life; P < 0.001). 15 of 23 pts (65.2%) had at least one adverse event (AE); 4 (17.4%) pts had at least one serious AE. No clinically relevant thrombotic vascular events were noted. No pt received transfusion. 5 pts discontinued: 2 for AEs, 1 at pt request, and 2 at study sponsor request. Conclusions: This retrospective analysis suggests that EPO 40,000 U QW is safe and effective for treating anemia in PC pts not receiving CT or RT. [Table: see text]

The Covid-19 affected people regardless of nationality, level of education, income or gender. However, students from privileged backgrounds, supported by their parents could find their way past closed school doors to alternative learning opportunities. This crisis has exposed the many inadequacies and inequalities in our education systems. This article presents the GPU System as a tool for collecting, managing and monitoring. The PON 2014/2020 For the School has been conceived for achieving an intelligent, equal, sustainable, and inclusive growth. In order to measure the learnings performance of students, a probability model was implemented to measure performance improvement. The data refer to the grades attributed to students before and after the delivery of the educational activities. Results show that the probability of registering a training success triggered by the training course is greater for the foreign languages area, generating inclusion and social integration mechanisms, as well as mediation and intercultural understanding.   Il sistema di istruzione e di formazione dopo il Covid-19: risultati da un modello per misurare gli apprendimenti degli studenti.   Il Covid-19 ha colpito tutti gli individui indipendentemente dalla nazionalità, dal livello di istruzione, dal reddito o dal genere. Tuttavia, gli studenti provenienti da ambienti privilegiati, supportati dai loro genitori hanno potuto intravedere più agevolmente la loro strada oltre le porte chiuse della scuola verso opportunità di apprendimento alternative. Questa crisi ha messo in luce le molte inadeguatezze e disuguaglianze nei nostri sistemi educativi. In questo studio si presenta il Sistema GPU come strumento di raccolta, gestione e monitoraggio. In tale contesto si inserisce il PON 2014/2020 Per la Scuola, concepito per realizzare una crescita intelligente, equa, sostenibile e inclusiva. Al fine di misurare le performance degli apprendimenti degli studenti è stato implementato un modello di probabilità finalizzato a misurare il successo formativo. I dati si riferiscono alle votazioni attribuite agli studenti prima e dopo l’azione formativa. I risultati mostrano come la probabilità di registrare un successo formativo generato dal percorso formativo intrapreso sia maggiore per l’area relativa alle lingue straniere, generando meccanismi di inclusione ed integrazione sociale, nonché la mediazione e la comprensione interculturale.

<span>This article analyses how journalism professors at Colombian universities use information and communications technologies (ICT) in their teaching. Survey data was obtained during the first trimester of 2009 from 63 professors in journalism departments and from a total of 865 professors who are affiliated with journalism departments at 29 universities that belong to the Colombian Association of Journalism Departments and University Programs. These professors have, until now, replicated traditional teaching methods when employing currently available technological resources. The article discusses the factors that influence the teaching uses of ICT and the implementing of pedagogical strategies in the classroom. The results help define the profiles of professors in academic programs in which ICT use is limited, and factors such as investment of time and resources which determine the productive use of ICTs, as well as the implementation of pedagogical models related to new teaching-learning opportunities in the classrooms at Colombian universities.</span>

Modern Day Slavery

Human sex trafficking, often referred to as modern-day slavery, is a major global human rights problem with at least 4.5 million people trafficked for commercial sex annually. Many of these women interface with the medical system regularly, often in women’s health clinics and the emergency departments. Therefore, it is important for healthcare providers to be able to identify red flags for human trafficking, to be able to screen effectively, and to know how to connect patients with resources in the community. It is also important for healthcare providers to be aware of the many long-term health effects related to sexual trauma that victims of human trafficking may develop. OBGYNs are able to have long-lasting impacts on the many survivors of human sex trafficking by screening effectively and providing compassionate, trauma-informed care. This review contains 4 figures, and 3 tables, and 40 references. Keywords:  Sexual assault, sexual violence, Intimate partner violence, Human trafficking, Rape, Trauma-informed care, Women, Primary Care, Obstetrics and Gynecology.

More than forming technically competent professionals, universities face a new challenge: doing so under specific principles that can only be achieved by developing competencies and abilities that are extremely valuable for today’s work market, such as being able to work in groups, being aware of the many possibilities of facing and solving problems, being open to constant negotiations and readily-adaptable to new work scenarios. The best way to develop such abilities and competencies is in the contexts in which they will be demanded. The incorporation of building concept maps to a teaching-learning methodology developed for a virtual learning environment of a respected Brazilian University was a successful experiment, one whose positive results in encouraging and developing such competencies and abilities deserves to be presented and discussed, which is what we intend to do in this chapter.
