Abstract We propose a new method to construct degenerate 3-(α, δ)-Sasakian manifolds as fiber products of Boothby-Wang bundles over hyperkähler manifolds. Subsequently, we study homogeneous degenerate 3-(α, δ)-Sasakian manifolds and prove that no non-trivial compact examples exist aswell as that there is exactly one family of nilpotent Lie groups with this geometry, the quaternionic Heisenberg groups.

The history of hypoxia prevention is closely inter-related with high altitude mountain and aviation physiology. One pioneering attempt to overcome low inspired oxygen partial pressures in aviation was the BLB mask—named after the three designers —Walter M Boothby, W Randolph Lovelace II and Arthur H Bulbulian. This mask and its variations originated just prior to World War 2 when aircraft were able to fly higher than 10,000 feet and pilot hypoxia affecting performance was an increasing problem. We give a brief description of the mask and its designers and discuss the donation of a model used by the British War Office in October 1940 and donated to the Harry Daly Museum at the Australian Society of Anaesthetists by the family of Dr Fred Street. Dr Street was a pioneering paediatric surgeon in Australia and served as a doctor in the Middle East and New Guinea in World War 2. He received the Military Cross.

Marilyn Booth's remarkable study blends literary criticism with historicalresearch to better understand the construction of modem Egyptian womanhood.Booth analyzes hundreds of women's biographies that were writtenin the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and published in thepopular women's press. She situates this activity within the context ofEgypt's nationalist struggle and burgeoning feminist movement at a time offoreign economic, military, and cultural domination. With the publicationof biographies of women as diverse as the Prophet's wives, Jeanne d'Arc,Hatshepsut, Jane Austin, and Safiyya Zaghlul, Booth uncovers the diversi tyof the Egyptian women's press in its scope and vision of what Egyptshould expect of its women.Booth complicates our understandings of women's participation in thepublic sphere by illuminating the ethnic and religious diversity of theEgyptian women's press. She also delves deeply into the class issues motivatingthe construction of the ideal Egyptian woman as a selfless member ofher family - both nuclear and national - conforming her domestic sphere tothe mold of communal, nationalist needs. Revealing women authors as bothshaping and being shaped by contemporary ideas of successful femininity,Booth's study is perhaps the most potent analysis of Egyptian feminism publishedin quite some time. It is an indispensable guide to a literature steepedin the Arabic literary past as well as modem Egyptian society.In a complex prologue, Booth argues that any examination of authorshipcan only vaguely determine how audiences react to published texts.Thus, although she sets out to analyze the messages inherent in women'sbiographies, she cannot relay the manner in which the women's press wasreceived by its audience. Her book is an analysis of prescription throughexample, but only can hint at the resulting impact. Booth focuses on howthese biographies became part of a larger social project to define women asnational symbols situating the nation as the ultimate community, all thewhile maintaining patriarchal constructs in the home and other socialspheres. She declares the biographies she examines to be ultimately "feminist,"for, although they often maintain crucial elements of the status ...

Go Fun Bojonegoro Theme Park is one of the biggest family playgrounds in Bojonegoro. Most tourist attractions must have a variety of products that are traded to visitors who come. The rental of the heavy food stands at Go Fun Bojonegoro has a different contract agreement with the other stands because there are additional contracts, namely profit sharing cooperation by increasing the selling price. The results of the study indicate that the practice of profit sharing between the food stand tenants and the Go Fun Bojonegoro manager has a different agreement with other booths, because the rental of food stands at Go Fun Bojonegoro has the most number of payment details. Go Fun Bojonegoro managers waive booth rental fees and replace it with a profit sharing system, namely by increasing the selling price of food by 20% of the selling price set by the tenant at a ratio of 80:20. In addition, there are three theories in the perspective of sharia economic law, namely the contract, ijarah and musyarakah. Of the three contracts, it is considered valid according to sharia economic law because they have met the requirements and harmonious agreements, ijarah and musharaka.

Full textAbstract:
Hypovirulence of phytopathogenic fungi are often conferred by mycovirus(es) infections and for this reason many mycoviruses have been characterized, contributing to a better understanding of virus diversity. In this study, three strains of Fusarium head blight fungus (Fusarium boothii) were isolated from Ethiopian wheats as dsRNA-carrying strains: hypovirulent Ep-BL13 (>10, 3 and 2.5 kbp dsRNAs), and virulent Ep-BL14 and Ep-N28 (3 kbp dsRNA each) strains. The 3 kbp-dsRNAs shared 98% nucleotide identity and have single ORFs encoding a replicase when applied to mitochondrial codon usage. Phylogenetic analysis revealed these were strains of a new species termed Fusarium boothii mitovirus 1 in the genus Mitovirus. The largest and smallest dsRNAs in Ep-BL13 appeared to possess single ORFs and the smaller was originated from the larger by removal of its most middle part. The large dsRNA encoded a replicase sharing the highest amino acid identity (35%) with that of Botrytis virus F, the sole member of the family Gammaflexiviridae. Given that the phylogenetic placement, large genome size, simple genomic and unusual 3′-terminal RNA structures were far different from members in the order Tymovirales, the virus termed Fusarium boothii large flexivirus 1 may form a novel genus and family under the order.

Full textAbstract:
In 2014, Beyond Bullying, a research project examining LGBTQ sexualities and lives at school, installed private storytelling booths in three US high schools. Students, teachers, and staff were invited to use the booths to share stories about LGBTQ sexualities—their stories often invoked the pleasures and disappointments of being and having a friend. This article analyzes narratives of friendship as told in the Beyond Bullying storytelling booths. Drawing on Foucault’s (1996) interview, ‘Friendship as a way of life,’ we explore participants’ stories of friendship as heralding ‘new relational modes’ that chart a liminal space between family and sexuality. These relational modes of friendship disrupt the familiar trope of the ‘ally’ in anti-bullying programs and complicate what empirical research on LGBTQ youth calls, ‘peer social support.’ Theorizing friendship allows LGBTQ sexuality in schools to reside in an ethics of discomfort, which accommodates complex social relations and varied forms of desire, intimacy, and yearning.

Full textAbstract:
A survey of his extensive bibliography reveals that George Mosse wrote very little about the only movement that he ever called his political “Heimat”: antifascism. Nonetheless, in his last years, while writing his memoir Confronting History, he returned to the scenes of his youthful engagement on the left, acknowledging that his “political awakening” was due not merely to his being the refugee scion of the eminent Berlin German-Jewish family whose newspapers were excoriated almost daily by the Nazis. Rather, like many in his generation, at age seventeen George was roused from a sleepy indifference to his studies at the Quaker Bootham School in York-shire by the Spanish Civil War. If his activity on behalf of Spain was still “sporadic” during his last year at Bootham, at Cambridge, which George entered in the fall of 1937, commitment became more intense and eventually, he recalled, “marked my two years as an undergraduate.”

In this article, we summarize and analyze the constraints and technical difficulties of biogas plants in clusters, storage and transportation yards, pretreatment yards, and anaerobic fields. Combined with Tyre’s own experience, several major techniques have been proposed. To guide and recommend the suitable technicians to decision makers, to acquire operation courses suitable for the general requirements of our biogas, and to promote the development of booth biogas seedlings in China, the use of environmental slam objects in a small and sufficient nonscale biogas program is formulated by the use of biogas funding alone. Current rating measures leverage the World Age Assessment (LCA) for the Integrated Booth Biogas Swing Type (typically 40,000 kWh) and Bio-Natural Gasoline Program (daily gasoline workload of 12,000 cubic curves). This is built upon the Environmental Impact Assessment and Analogy for Warships Both environmental stroke and sensitivity component analysis. These techniques include termination outlines, register analysis, dynamism drops for each performance stagecoach, and environmental issue calculations. According to the above summarization, when biogas dominates the family, the highest environmental emission becomes the biogas fermentation layer of the booth. Meanwhile, the most sympathetic substitute is the work cost of physical and chemical farting (mL g-1TS). The above two indicators denote the essence of biogas purification, and the choice of biogas purification technology. By evaluating the change in the impact of suppressing environmental emissions, the biogas substitute of scorpion charcoal has a remarkable improvement in the biogas equivalent of the charcoal-bright swing family. Comprehensive experimental results have demonstrated this conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
This article provides descriptive insights of the experiences of family caregivers of persons living with dementia during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were generated as part of a qualitative cross-national project to explore the costs and consequences of providing unpaid dementia care. Participants in Jamaica, who were recruited using community gatekeepers, information booths at health fairs, conferences, and other outreach events, were contacted by telephone to discuss their experiences of the pandemic. When face-to-face in-depth interview data collection was suspended due to the pandemic, ethical approval was received to contact all research participants who were informal unpaid family caregivers, both those whose care recipients had died and those who were active caregivers ( N = 19). Participants in this study were the 10 active family caregivers ( n F = 8; aged 45+; 60% from high socio-economic status). Their updates and reflections during these calls were documented in fieldnotes and analyzed for key themes. Data showed that the pandemic has illustrated the direct costs, both financial and otherwise, that informal dementia carers bear in Jamaica. It also intensified pre-existing challenges faced by family carers. We provide recommendations for sustainable support for family carers.

On 9 January 2003, more than 2,000 people from around the world arrived in New Delhi to participate in an event that was touted as the “largest gathering of the global Indian family.” Banners prominently displaying the Indian tricolor lined the roads leading to the convention site, superimposed with the slogan “Welcome Back, Welcome Home.” Surrounded by intense media attention, India’s prime minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, inaugurated Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, proclaiming that this event commemorated the “Day of Indians Abroad.” Over the next three days, in the midst of the coldest winter Delhi had experienced in years, the Indian government and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) spent twenty-two crore rupees (US$49 million) on lectures, seminars, trade exhibition booths, lavish amounts of food and drink, and spectacular stage shows featuring Bollywood actors. Advertised widely on the Web and in the Indian news media, Pravasi Bharatiya Divas was the first government-sponsored event that brought together Indians in India with representatives of the nearly 20 million Indians who live overseas.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractOne striking parallel between the Gilded Age and today is the return of the “ring” as a volatile form of governance. Rings are small bands of entrepreneurs who, through capture of key political institutions, exploit the coalition-building imperatives of party politics to rapidly accumulate large personal fortunes. The vernacular hails from the 1860s and 1870s, when the Tweed Ring, Gold Ring, Whiskey Ring, and Bank Ring, among others, scandalized the public with smash and grab practices. In the Trump era, Paul Manafort's career and the president's family business share many similarities to these classic episodes, both in the contested origin of private wealth and the circulation of profits throughout the political system. Rings thus have a tendency to recur in American political development. When electoral politics becomes financialized, speculators may seize opportunities to extract a hefty surplus from the public domain. In premodern contexts, Max Weber called this plundering phenomenon “booty capitalism.” The variant specific to American electoral institutions highlights a periodic conflict in democratic capitalism that arises over the legitimacy of political wealth accumulation.

The object of this paper is the novel Ambersons by Newton Booth Tarkington. This study focuses on the major question of how George Amberson Minafer, the major character, copes with his problem. The researcher employs a qualitative method in analyzing the novel. Following the data gathering and analysis, the writer draws two conclusions: first, George Amberson Minafer copes with his problem through changing his behavior, from negative behavior to positive one. He becomes more optimistic, independent and caring for his family. Second, George Amberson Minafer copes his problem through his action. He has the courage to admit his mistake. He asks forgiveness to the man that he hurt most.

Abstract In 2004, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarded funding (Coop. Agreement No. U58/CCU324301-01) for the Hematologic Oncology Primary Intervention Networking Group (HOPING), a national educational initiative of the Institute for Continuing Healthcare Education (the Institute). HOPING was developed to increase survivorship of patients with hematologic malignancies beyond 5 years. Its intent was to educate PCPs on the signs and symptoms of hematologic malignances to encourage more appropriate and timely referrals to a specialist, as well as to identify and bridge gaps in knowledge regarding the long-term follow-up and care of survivors of hematologic malignancies. Methods: Educational strategies included live presentations at primary care conferences, distribution of resource materials at an educational booth, and a resource Web site (www.hopingdocs.org). As part of the HOPING initiative, immediate participant feedback was gathered during live programs through an audience response system as well as through registrant surveys distributed at the booth and on the Web. The questions within those two settings were intended to gauge the practitioner’s ability to properly recognize the signs and symptoms of hematologic malignancies and provide appropriate follow-up care for patients with hematologic malignancies. Results: Data were collected from a total of 357 individuals (277 from live activities, 80 from online/booth surveys). Approximately 64% of the live program survey respondents were physicians; the majority identified themselves as family practice/family medicine or internal medicine specialists. When asked how they would monitor a 54-year-old male patient free from Hodgkin’s lymphoma for five years, only 44% of respondents correctly indicated that they would conduct an annual physical exam, clinical lab tests, thyroid function tests, and a chest x-ray. Respondents also showed lack of knowledge regarding appropriate studies to order for a patient presenting with specific symptoms and laboratory test results consistent with leukemia. The online/booth surveys were completed by 80 respondents; specific demographic data were not collected. Only 22% of respondents said that they are confident educating patients (and/or their caregivers) about hematologic malignancies. Respondents’ experience with available blood tests for MGUS and MDS was particularly poor -- only 10% said that they "have ordered" such tests while 46% were "unaware" of available tests. The overall ability of respondents to detect possible signs and symptoms of hematologic malignancies (specifically, leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma) was also low. Conclusion: In the eyes of the primary care community, hematologic malignancies are low-volume, high-risk conditions, and the complexity of diagnosing and providing long-term care to patients with hematologic malignancies is a growing challenge. Post-treatment chronic conditions such as late-onset cardiomyopathy, hypertension, and secondary malignancies often develop after therapy for hematologic malignancies and must be properly managed. Gaps in knowledge regarding the signs, symptoms, and diagnosis of hematologic malignancies may negatively impact timely referral to specialists. Because of their increasingly vital role in the cancer care continuum, PCPs need additional education to improve the short- and long-term outcomes of patients with hematologic malignancies.

In this article, Jen Gilbert, Jessica Fields, Laura Mamo, and Nancy Lesko explore the Beyond Bullying Project, a multimedia, storytelling project that invited students, teachers, and community members in three US high schools to enter a private booth and share stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) sexuality and gender. While recent policy making and educational research have focused on links between LGBTQ sexuality and gender, bullying, and other risks to educational and social achievement, Beyond Bullying aimed to identify the ordinary stories of LGBTQ sexuality and gender that circulate in schools and that an interventionist framing may obscure. After offering an overview of the method in Beyond Bullying, this article connects narratives of LGBTQ desire, family, and school life to the intimate possibilities—who students and teachers are, who they want to be, and the social worlds they want to build—available to them in schools.

Full textAbstract:
Many scholars have noted the theoretical importance of remarriage in twentieth-century American life (Burch 1995; Cherlin 1998; Furstenberg 1980; Glick 1980; Thornton 1977; Uhlenberg and Chew 1986), yet few historical studies have examined remarriage in the United States empirically. This gap in the literature is noteworthy for two reasons. First, the turn of the twentieth century seems to have marked a crossover in the remarriage transition of the United States, reflecting changes in the pool of persons eligible to remarry. This transition was characterized by decreases in remarriage resulting from declines inmortality and probability of widow(er)hood, followed by increases in remarriage resulting from higher divorce rates. The crossover in the transition was likely to have occurred when the pool of eligibles was at or near its nadir. Second, there is ongoing debate about the implications of remarriage for families and individuals (Booth and Dunn 1994), and about the impacts of remarriage on family functions (Cherlin 1978; Cherlin and Furstenberg 1994). In the light of these considerations, we believe it is important to examine remarriage and its consequences in the United States at the turn of the century so that we may better understand the ways that remarriage influences family life and shapes the life course of persons within families (see London and Elman 2001).

Full textAbstract:
The priority for the Sasanid rulers was to eliminate from the throne of Armenia, the Parthian Arsacid dynasty, linked by blood ties to the formerly abolished Iranian ruling dynasty. In 298, the Battle of Satala took place in Armenia, in which the Roman army commanded by Caesar Galerius won a crushing victory over the Sassanian troops headed by King Narseh. The Romans captured huge amounts of booty and captured the Persian royal family. The campaign ended with a peace treaty very favourable to Rome, in which Narseh renounced Trans-Tigritania, pledged non-intervention in Armenia, and recognised the Roman protectorate in Iberia. The revision of the so-called Treaty of Nisibis was the foundation of the Persian-Roman wars in the 4th century carried out by Shapur II. In this study, it is aimed to give information about the effect of the Battle of Satala on the beginning of the Persian-Roman wars in the 4th century and its results.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore children’s relationships with football teams and players and the influences on these. Design/methodology/approach – A child-centric (Banister and Booth, 2005) inductive qualitative approach was utilised to capture children’s voices. The children were asked to take photographs around the theme of “football in my life” and these served as interview prompts when talking to friendship pairs. Findings – Football played a central role in children’s lives in terms of interest, activity and consumption. The children articulated a portfolio of team (club) and player connections of varying strength. This contrasts with the existing adult fandom literature which focuses on individuals supporting a single team. Another strong theme emerging from the data was the children’s market-centred relationships with football clubs. Children’s connections were shaped by a complex web of influences including family and family history, friends, media and geography. Research limitations/implications – Existing fan literature has an adult focus which does not appear to fully explain the child fan. This research provides impetus for developing new theory that better captures child fandom. The findings reinforce the idea that football plays an important part in children’s lives and in doing so they establish their own meanings. The findings presented in this paper provide important insights into the lives of children that could be reflected on in the design of policy across a number of areas including education. Originality/value – This paper presents the first child-centred football fan study.

The objective of this study is to analyze the novel based on the psychological approach. The researcher employs a qualitative method. In this method, the researcher uses two data sources, namely primary and secondary data sources. The primary data source is the novel itself. The secondary data sources are books about psychology and other sources, which are related to the analysis. The method of data collection is documentation and the technique of data analysis is descriptive technique. Based on the analysis, the researcher draws two conclusions: first, George Amberson Minafer copes his problem through changing his behaviour, from negative behavior to a positive one. He becomes more optimistic, independent and caring for his family. Second, George Amberson Minafer copes his problem through his actions. He has the courage to admit his mistake. He asks forgiveness to the man that he hurt most.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores early twentieth-century visual and textual representations of fortune telling in Blackpool, England. It does so to investigate the Romani presence at, and centrality to, this seaside resort in order to query the shared and contested space(s) emergent during the development of what was at the time an inherently modern and innovative touristic place. Starting the discussion with a well-known 1930s Mass Observation image of a palmist’s booth, the article then explores earlier photographs and postcards from the turn of the century depicting fortune-telling tents on Blackpool’s South Shore sandhills. Here three interlinked strands of enquiry are addressed. Firstly, the shared histories and development of Romani fortune tellers and their families and the rise of the touristic offer of Blackpool; secondly, the dichotomy of the marketing and representation of fortune telling as an integral part of this touristic offer and the precarity and criminalization of the fortune tellers’ lives and activities; and thirdly, the often overlooked ways in which fortune tellers utilized visual representations themselves as a way of creating and self-marketing a space of authenticity and place-based belonging. To do this the article draws upon contemporaneous ethnographic reports, professional and family photographs, newspaper reports and magazine articles.

Although this essay focuses on the ideas of one individual—the American philosopher of education, John Dewey—its purpose is to raise questions about those ideas rather than their author. Dewey is famous for inventing (or spreading) some familiar ideas: that educational reform is at the heart of creating a democratic society, that the classroom is as important to democracy as the polling booth, that the central aim of education is to foster the individuality of the child and that teachers must teach children how to think for themselves rather than pass on cut and dried knowledge. These ideas have been resisted by philosophers who have thought that the aim of education is to teach children some defined and circumscribed skills, or to transmit to them as much factual information as they can usefully be given during their school years. They have also been resisted by thinkers who have wanted to limit the scope of education, to say that schools exist to serve limited, non-political purposes, and that ‘schooling’ properly ends at sixteen, eighteen, or twentyone when it sends adequately educated students out into the world to earn a living, raise a family, and do their wider social and political duty.

Abstract Although most older adults live outside of care institutions, not all seniors choose to live in traditional family homes. Among those who relocate, some relocate too early while others are pre-frail or frail when they relocate. Social frailty – the interaction between social vulnerability and frailty – could contribute to these untimely relocations. The goal of this study was to inform the concept of social frailty by examining a population of semi-independent older adults who recently relocated to a continuum of care community. The objectives of this study were to: 1) understand the influence of the social determinants of health on the relocation process; 2) explore whether relocation increases or reduces social frailty; and 3) measure the level of post-relocation frailty in study participants. This mixed method study combined semi-structured interviews on the relocation process, the frailty identification tool PRISMA-7, and socio-demographic surveys. Twenty-nine recently relocated seniors were recruited with the assistance of a Citizens' Advisory Committee along with advertisements, presentations, information booths, and word of mouth. Qualitative descriptive thematic analysis and descriptive statistical analyses were used to examine the relationship between frailty, socio-demographic variables and relocation. Findings indicated that several social determinants contributed to frailty and that relocation into a continuum of care community could mitigate some aspects of social frailty. A conceptual framework on the influence of social frailty on relocation is discussed. More research is needed to inform the concept of social frailty and to better understand the impact of social factors on frailty.

Background: Aggressive periodentitis is a multifactorial disease that usuallyOccurs at a young age with the disease spreading fast and found the bacteria. Commonly aggressive periodontitis associated with hereditary factors and lack of immune system so as to reveal any family history with the same disease, and found savere alveolar bone destruction that may ultimately lead to tooth loss. Aggressive periodontitis and generalized aggressive periodontitis. The development of aggressive periodontitis is difficult to predict, so the mechanical therapy is not sufficient, and required antibiotic therapy or surgical therapy. Aim: the purpose of this case report is to explain the procedures and result of surgical treatment of the flap surgery with bone graft in anterior teeth of the patients with generalized aggressive periodontitis. Case report: Cases one and two with complaints of anterior teeth mobility. On clinical examination teeth mobility two and three degree, absolute pocket depth 4-6 mm. Radiograpic examination bone loss reached one third apical in all region. The diagnosis of both cases in generalized aggressive periodontitis. Treatment: After initial theraphy heve been evaluated, flap surgery with bone graft done in booth cases. Control evaluation after 6 month from surgery, in clinically reduced pocket depth 1-2m and tooth mobility, in radiographically increased bone height and bone fill. Conclusion: Flap surgery with bone graft in generalized aggressive periodontitis can assist periodontal regeneration.

Abstract Introduction: The Cancer Health Risk Assessments Reaching Many (CHARM) study (NCT03426878) aims to increase access to genetic testing for hereditary cancer in low-income, low-literacy, and minority populations (hereafter referred to as “underserved”). To implement the study, we have capitalized on the availability of electronic medical record (EMR) systems, developed innovative web-based tools, and designed a novel telemedicine protocol for return of clinical genetic testing results. Methods: Patients aged 18-49 years are recruited from two centers: Kaiser Permanente Northwest (KPNW; an integrated health care system in Portland, OR) and Denver Health (DH; a federally qualified health care center in Denver, CO). Specific protocols were developed to identify potentially eligible patients from the EMR and invite them to complete a web-based family history assessment. KPNW patients were recruited using email, text messaging, and in-clinic booths; DH patients were recruited via mail, phone, and provider referral. Validated risk assessment tools for Lynch syndrome (PREMM5) and heredity breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (B-RST) were adapted for our low-literacy and bilingual (English and Spanish) target population. Genetic testing is offered to patients with greater than average risk for hereditary cancer, or where risk cannot be assessed because of unknown family history or limited family structure. Eligible patients review a multipart, multimedia online consent. Those who consent to participate provide a saliva sample for clinical exome sequencing. Genetic counselors return results by telephone using traditional (usual care active comparator) or modified, communication-focused (experimental) counseling for pathogenic variants, likely pathogenic variants, and select variants of uncertain significance in 39 genes related to cancer risk, pathogenic variants in 79 genes related to medically actionable secondary findings, and 14 genes related to carrier status. Results: In the first four months of recruitment, 258 patients have completed the risk assessment tool (48% are underserved). Of those, 180 (70%) had greater than average risk of hereditary cancer (or limited family history information) and were invited to participate (53% were underserved); 86% of underserved patients and 78% of patients who do not meet criteria for the underserved category have consented. The vast majority of participants complete enrollment without assistance from study staff, and in-person visits are not required for participation. Telephone genetic test result disclosure will begin in December 2018. Conclusions: We have successfully developed online tools for cancer risk assessment that are accessible to underserved and low-literacy populations. These tools may be a cost-effective approach for improving the capture of family history data in the EMR. It does not require a provider to gather the information and the patient gets immediate feedback on results of the risk assessment and appropriate next steps.

Full textAbstract:
Australia’s laid-back, sun-drenched beach lifestyle has been a celebrated and prominent part of its official popular culture for nigh on a century, and the images and motifs associated with this culture have become hallmarks of the country’s collective identity. Though these representations tend towards stereotype, for many Australians the idea of a summer holiday at the beach is one that is intensely personal and romanticised – its image is not at all urbanised. As Douglas Booth observed, for Australians the beach has become a ‘sanctuary at which to abandon cares – a place to let down one’s hair, remove one’s clothes […] a paradise where one could laze in peace, free from guilt, drifting between the hot sand and the warm sea, and seek romance’.1 Beach holidays became popular in the interwar years of the twentieth century, but the most intense burst of activity – both in touristic promotion and in the development of tourism infrastructure – accompanied the postwar economic boom, when family incomes were able to meet the cost of a car and, increasingly, a cheap block of land by the beach upon which a holiday home could be erected with thrift and haste. In subtropical southeast Queensland, the postwar beach holiday became the hallmark of the state’s burgeoning tourism industry; the state’s southeast coastline in particular benefiting from its warm climate and proximity to the capital, Brisbane. It was here – along the evocatively named Gold Coast (to Brisbane’s south) and Sunshine Coast (to its north) [1] – that many families experienced their first taste of what is now widely celebrated as the beach lifestyle [2]. As one reflection has it: In the era before motels and resorts, a holiday at the Gold and Sunshine coasts usually meant either pitching a tent and camping by the beach or staying in a simple cottage owned by family or friends […] Simplicity, informality, individuality […] were the hallmarks of these humble places.2

Purpose Miniaturization of digital technologies has created new opportunities for remote health care and neuroscientific fieldwork. The current study assesses comparisons between in-home auditory brainstem response (ABR) recordings and recordings obtained in a traditional lab setting. Method Click-evoked and speech-evoked ABRs were recorded in 12 normal-hearing, young adult participants over three test sessions in (a) a shielded sound booth within a research lab, (b) a simulated home environment, and (c) the research lab once more. The same single-family house was used for all home testing. Results Analyses of ABR latencies, a common clinical metric, showed high repeatability between the home and lab environments across both the click-evoked and speech-evoked ABRs. Like ABR latencies, response consistency and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) were robust both in the lab and in the home and did not show significant differences between locations, although variability between the home and lab was higher than latencies, with two participants influencing this lower repeatability between locations. Response consistency and SNR also patterned together, with a trend for higher SNRs to pair with more consistent responses in both the home and lab environments. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining high-quality ABR recordings within a simulated home environment that closely approximate those recorded in a more traditional recording environment. This line of work may open doors to greater accessibility to underserved clinical and research populations.

Since Payne, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has made several attempts to address the admissibility of victim impact testimony in capital sentencing cases, but the court's decisions have only confused the situation. This Note discusses the confusion and inconsistencies of these decisions and advocates that the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals permit the use of all victim impact evidence in capital murder sentencing proceedings. Part I of this Note defines victim impact evidence and summarizes the development of victim impact testimony in capital murder cases. That section also discusses the different types of victim impact testimony and the intent behind the use of such evidence. Part II analyzes the Supreme Court's attempts to determine which specific types of victim impact testimony are constitutional. That section addresses the Court's evolving standard for admissibility by focusing primarily on the Court's analysis in two significant cases: Booth v. Maryland and Payne v. Tennessee. Part III analyzes how Payne has influenced the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in the development of Texas's current position on the use of victim impact evidence in capital sentencing. Part IV discusses the current insufficient standard in Texas and the dilemmas posed by limiting the types of admissible testimony. That section focuses on special concerns involving the victim, the victim's family, the convicted murderer, the sentencing jury, and society. Part V concludes with arguments for the admission of all types of victim impact testimony, a discussion on the impact of such evidence in the sentencing process, and explores the importance of the victim's rights.

Full textAbstract:
The reign of Ahmad Khan Abdali, which lasted from (1747-1773 A.D.), was unique and newly established in his time because he had no legacy left before, but still, he was able to create a social system with his great initiative and talent. The economy itself worked in a way that inherently formed the basis of social and economic progress. In this regard, he made the necessary use of all social classes such as clerics, influential people, religious scholars, feudal lords and the military, and used all of them to strengthen his newly established system. He was also not indifferent to the economic situation and wanted to improve this main and fundamental factor of the government to have a prosperous system and a well-equipped and present military force. In order to strengthen the economic system, Ahmad Shah Baba paid special attention to agriculture, trade and tax regulation and was able to achieve a good result by regulating these matters. In this regard, he was able to build a strong economy and treasure. The treasury had its vast booty carried through many wars across the country, both of which provided the cost of the war and was good proof of the treasury's strength. The capital (material and cash) in Ahmad Shahi's treasures was unique both in the past and in his family, which came to power after Ahmad Shah Baba, and this was the reason that Timur Shah ruled him for twenty years and had no worries in this area. Thus, it can be stated that if the social and economic situation of Ahmad Shahi is compared to the governments that came after him one after another in this land, the later regimes have nothing in common with Ahmad Shahi's system and administration and will not have.

The purpose of the study was to explore attitudes/beliefs in men attending an urban health fair to explore barriers to prostate cancer (PCa) screening. Five hundred and forty-four men attending the PCa booth at the fair in 2014 or 2015 completed questionnaires about PCa. Data were examined using Pearson’s χ2, Fisher’s Exact, and Wilcoxon rank tests after grouping men by African American (AA) and non-African American ethnicity. Three hundred and twenty-six (60%) men were AA and two hundred and eighteen (40%) were non-AA (89% white). Median age (54 vs. 56 years) and prior PCa screening were similar between AA and non-AA; income ( p = .044) and education ( p = .0002) differed. AA men were less likely to have researched prostate-specific antigen (PSA) on the internet ( p = .003), but more used TV ( p = .003) and media ( p = .0014) as information sources. Family members had a stronger influence over screening decisions for AA men ( p = .005). After reading PSA information, AA men were more likely to still be confused ( p = .008). A higher proportion of AA men were less worried about dying from PCa ( p = .0006), but would want treatment immediately instead of watchful waiting ( p < .0001). Interestingly, a higher proportion of AA men indicated that they would prefer not to know if they had PCa ( p = .001). Ultimately, more AA men had a PSA done (98.4% vs. 95.1%; p = .031). When considering screening eligible men, a higher proportion of AA men had an abnormal PSA (13.1% vs. 5.3%; p = .037). AA men’s beliefs surrounding PCa differ from non-AA men, and should be considered when developing culturally appropriate education, screening, and treatment strategies for this group.

La gran expansión territorial protagonizada por Alfonso I de Aragón y Pamplona atrajo a muchos nobles, que trataron de beneficiarse mediante la obtención de botín o la concesión de tenencias para ellos o sus familiares. Entregar en tenencia un territorio permitía a los reyes afrontar los problemas endémicos que suponía poblar un término, lo que se veía agravado por la escasa demografía y el gran coste económico de la defensa. Por ello, los reyes de Aragón y Pamplona acudieron a la entrega de territorios a nobles para que éstos se encargaran de poblarlos y defenderlos; es lo que se conoce como «tenencias», una institución que suponía una serie de derechos y obligaciones para quien las recibía, reservándose la propiedad del territorio el rey, y que permitía la extensión de la influencia de una determinada familia o linaje. Casi desde la aparición del reino de Aragón los barones pamploneses constituyeron un foco de gran influencia cerca de los reyes y trataron de expandirla mediante matrimonios y la obtención de determinadas tenencias. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar el fenómeno a través del caso concreto de la familia navarra Lehet y su relación con los dos primeros señores de Soria, Íñigo López y Fortún López.Abstract The great territorial expansion carried out by Alfonso I of Aragon and Pamplona attracted many nobles, who tried to benefit from it by obtaining booty or land grants for them or their relatives. Offering land tenure was a way for kings to deal with the endemic problems derived from the need to populate a given territory, which was in turn aggravated by weak demographic numbers and a high cost of defence. Hence, the kings of Aragon and Pamplona used the concession of land grants to nobles so that they would guarantee establishing a settlement and defending it: this is what is known as tenure (tenencias), an institution that stipulates a series of rights and obligations for those who received them, while the king maintained the property of the domain and allowed for the increased influence of a certain family or lineage. Virtually since the origin of the kingdom of Aragon, the barons of Pamplona formed a circle of great influence around the kings and tried to extend it through marriages and increasing certain land holdings. This phenomenon will be examined through the specific case studies of the Lehet family of Navarre and their relationship with the first two lords of Soria, Íñigo López and Fortún López.

Abstract Objectives: Treatment options for patients with AML/MDS who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy are limited. Due to rapid progression of the condition it is difficult to capture what is most important to patients when making treatment decisions. Social media data is a rich source of information, and the FDA recently encouraged stakeholders to explore the use of social media to capture the patient perspective.[i] This study aimed to capture factors most important to patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy through using disease-specific social media posts by patients and/or their caregivers. Identifying these factors will give clinicians a better understanding of what is important to their patients when considering their treatment. Methods: AML and MDS patient/caregiver posts were extracted from publicly available discussions on three large AML/MDS-specific sites. Posts were manually reviewed to only include the experience of patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. 1,443 posts from 220 AML patients/caregivers and 2,733 posts from 127 MDS patients/caregivers were included. A targeted search for terms relating to end of life treatment decisions was conducted within the included posts, yielding 83 posts from 40 AML users and 70 posts from 39 MDS users. These posts were manually reviewed, and relevant text segments (discussing why patients wish to live longer and reasons/motives for treatment decisions) were highlighted using a qualitative analysis approach. Results: Of the reviewed data, 40 posts from 27 AML users and 20 posts from 18 MDS users contained relevant information. A theme important to patients and caregivers was spending time with family and making memories (in 20% of relevant posts). Often reported was the desire to reach family occasions including birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, and weddings. Quality of life was also an important consideration (in 33% of relevant posts). Many patients expressed a wish to have better quality of life over quantity of life, and did not want the risk of suffering from side effects. Tied into this was the clear preference to be at home rather than in a hospital or care home (in over 22% of relevant posts). To some patients, it was important to try all possible treatment options, and some reported their doctors were supportive of this. However a lack of available treatments was also perceived by some patients as if their doctors give up on treating them too soon. Discussion: Treatment decisions in patients with AML/MDS are complex and unique to each patient. From this analysis, it is clear being home and spending time with family was associated with a perceived higher level of quality of life for patients and caregivers. Patients and caregivers place high importance on treatment options that provide better perceived QoL over treatments that provide a moderate extension to life expectancy and require hospitalisation. This study highlights the need to consider patient perceptions of QoL and the importance of understanding patient and caregiver goals and opinions to best determine personalised treatment options.

It’s January, and the JPT issue has a new look and a new digital edition. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the JPT staff, led by Pam Boschee and Glenda Smith, along with the JPT Editorial Review Committee, for producing exciting articles and technology news every month. For some, the move to a digital-only issue of JPT has disrupted reading and sharing habits. While I know that many of you miss having a print version, the SPE Board believes that remaining digital is the right decision as we look to the future. We’ve changed the digital edition this month. Your feedback on how we can make the digital version match your expectations is very important. I want to take the opportunity to wish you, your family, and those who matter to you an excellent year following the roller coaster we experienced in 2021. Last year started with the hope that the rapid development of vaccines soon would be providing us protection against the COVID-19 virus. However, the numerous waves of infection (we are now in the fifth in many countries) and the various mutations of the virus have kept health authorities and governments in a reactive mode. With the number of COVID-19-related fatalities worldwide above 5 million at the end of 2021, nearly all of us had family or friends who were affected. For the economy in general and our industry in particular, 2022 will bring a bag of uncertainties. Mohamed El-Erian, a recognized economic expert, said at 2021 ADIPEC, “The recovery from the pandemic crisis can be characterized by the U’s: uneven, unusual, uncertain.” The December 2021 OECD Economic Outlook mentions, “The rebound is losing some momentum as the surge in demand for goods has met bottlenecks in production chains. Inflation pressures have emerged in all economies.” Among the risks associated with the large stimulus packages are bottlenecks in production chains, disruptions in commodities and energy supply, high inflation rates (which developed economies had not seen for the past 2 decades), and the loss of momentum in the economic rebound. In terms of the upstream activity outlook, James West, senior managing director at Evercore, in an optimistic outlook recently said, “The spending cycle begins anew: 2021 was the beginning,” adding that “2022 is acceleration.” For our industry, this is great news following two sharp downcycles in less than 6 years. The year 2021 ended on a high note. 2021 ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi was a great success from organizational, technical, and attendance standpoints. In addition to the excellent papers and panels, the exhibition attracted large numbers of visitors (in line with 2019 ADIPEC). I was impressed by the eagerness of participants to meet. The exhibition booths were busy with members that wanted to discuss innovation until the last hours of the fourth day of the conference. Great attention was given to ensure the health and safety of the participants. I had the pleasure to attend the SPE Abu Dhabi Section dinner, and I was pleased to see how much progress has been made in diversity and inclusion.

Full textAbstract:
Marginality is not only a state of tangible/physical suffering but also a condition of mind. However, the nature of both is complementary to each other as the troubled psychic state results only from material reality. The adjective ‘celestial’ in the title seems to negate any material claims to one’s deprived state as emanating from structural inequities. The marginal state of major female characters in Jokha Alharthi’s (b. 1978) the Man Booker International Prize-Winning novel Celestial Bodies (2019) has its basis in the patriarchal functioning of society. Marilyn Booth writes, “The impact of a strong patriarchal system on both women and subordinate men is unsparing but it shapes different generations, and individuals, distinctly as it leads to both suffering and confrontation” (x). All three sisters Mayya, Khawla and Asma in the Celestial Bodies have their own trajectories of hidden pain. Apart from it, marginality as observed in the case of Zarifa, the female slave who unconsciously submits herself to a better life, results from ignorance as she does not find anything appalling even in being a concubine to Merchant Sulayman, the slave owner. Another note of marginality stems in the portrayal of Habib and his son Sanjar who view slavery as an “involuntary human servitude” (Wright n.pag.) and hence break themselves free from the shackles of bondage by leaving the house of Sulayman. While the former realizes that despite being his wife, Zarifa is also his master’s keep which is a blow to his masculinity; his son also identifies selfish motives in Sulayman’s doing a few things for his betterment. Another victim of a husbandly suspicion is Fatima, the wife of Sulayman whose death remains a mystery until it is learnt that it was her husband who hastens her to a poisonous death as her affair with a slave is suspected. Mayya’s daughter London’s marginal state cements the vulnerable status of women as despite from a rich family she is treated in terms of her supposed weak gender as her voluntary marriage to a peasant’s ends in a fiasco. The present paper seeks to provide answer to different types of marginalities found in the Celestial Bodies along with charting out a course of passive to active resistance as adopted by different characters.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Objectives: For patients with AML/MDS who are ineligible for intensive chemotherapy, prognosis is poor and effective treatment options are limited, often leading to unmet medical needs in this population. A deeper understanding of the patient perspective in this population is valuable to inform decision making and better address patients' needs. The FDA encourages the use of social media to shed light on patients' perspectives regarding the symptoms and impacts of their disease, stressing the opportunity to inform medical product development and enhance regulatory decision making.[i] This study aimed to use social media data to identify self-reported barriers to treatment, and capture the patient/caregiver understanding of the condition and prognosis in AML/MDS patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. Methods: AML and MDS patient/caregiver posts were extracted from publicly available discussions on three large AML/MDS specific forum sites. User posts were manually reviewed to only include the experience of patients ineligible for intensive chemotherapy. A total of 1,443 posts from 220 AML patients/caregivers and 2,733 posts from 127 MDS patients/caregivers were included. A manual qualitative review of a sample of 80 AML patients/caregivers and 5 MDS patients/caregivers' posts was conducted. Hypothesis coding was used to develop a coding dictionary based on key themes and open coding was used to incorporate additional themes, codes, and sub-codes inductively. Relevant content was coded, grouped into categories and overall themes. Results: Of the 85 user posting histories reviewed, 73 (86%) contained relevant information about the stated key objectives: 41 (56%) of users discussed factors relating to treatment decisions and 37 (51%) discussed unmet needs. The most common reasons for why the patient received no treatment were: the patient could not cope with chemotherapy due to co-morbidities or poor heath (31%), old age (26%), lack of effective available treatment options (18%) and the risk of side effects (15%). Other reasons included wanting to travel and adverse events. The most commonly reported unmet needs were: lack of/no treatment options (23%), lack of information about prognosis and deterioration (18%), lack of information about treatment (13%), lack of understanding about the condition (8%) and a lack of support and information from doctors (8%). Other unmet needs discussed included delayed diagnosis, treatment effectiveness, and lack of family support. Discussion: The need for more effective treatments in this population is known. However, this analysis shows patients/caregivers also face additional challenges. The discussion surrounding lack of information about prognosis, deterioration and treatment suggest there is a communication barrier between patients/caregivers and clinicians. Patients/caregivers expressed that they did not receive adequate information about these topics. It is not possible to determine whether the information was not given or whether patients/care givers failed to understand information that was given. Clinicians need ensure these topics are discussed, and delivered in a manner comprehensible for patients/caregivers to help patients make more effective treatment decisions. Furthermore, a greater understanding of AML and its symptoms is required to potentially allow for earlier diagnosis. [i] United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). June 2018.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Patients with MDS continue to report gaps in knowledge, particularly where understanding of disease risk, prognosis and treatment options are concerned.1 A recent online social media survey on experiences in myelodysplastic syndromes revealed that patients/caregivers' (n=127) have a general lack of information about MDS and insufficient knowledge regarding treatment options and are unable to make fully informed decisions.2 Efforts to improve patient and caregiver understanding of MDS, including treatment options, are critical to individualized treatment planning and shared decision-making. MDS patients commonly use multimedia and online resources to seek disease information.3 The MDSF introduced an online 'animated,' visual format educational program in July 2018 aimed at improving patient and caregiver knowledge.4 Evaluation of this project, including determining changes in patient knowledge and intent-to-implement a change in behavior are described as parameters of advancing and benefiting health outcomes. Methods: An Animated Patient's Guide to MDS (APG), a multimedia educational initiative was launched globally in July 2018. Recruitment was conducted via search engine marketing, social media promotions and email campaigns to MDS patients, caregivers and oncology provider audiences. Video views, duration of use, and learner responses to questions on the APG website were collected from July 2018 to July 2020 (24 months). Total APG views, most frequently viewed MDS animations and MDS expert videos were monitored on the website and on You Tube, to measure learner responses to outcome-based questions, and learner intent-to-implement changes. Results: A total of 151,231 views, including 58,947 unique visitors visited the APG online resource. Of these, 81% were from the U.S. and 19% from other countries (> 50 countries). Unique visitors from U.S. consisted of 28,171 patients, 15,279 family/caregivers, and 1,910 health providers. Among responses indicating a 'commitment to change', 96% reported they will 'use new information learned to better self-manage their MDS' (n = 917), 93% reported they 'will discuss information learned with their doctor' (n = 355), and 97% reported they 'plan to discuss MDS treatment options with their doctor' (n = 734). Patients who reported they 'learned new information about MDS' identified that they 'learned new general information about MDS' (95%, n = 193), 'learned new information about the diagnosis of MDS' (86%, n = 195), 'learned about new treatment options for MDS' (89%, n = 195), 'learned about new information related to bone marrow transplant in MDS' (85%, n = 177) and intended to 'ask their doctor about how to take part in healthcare decisions' (96%, n = 187). Conclusion: Multimedia education, including visual 'animated' formats, tailored to the needs of MDS patients has the potential to provide effective learning, increase knowledge and improve engagement in shared decision-making. Ongoing monitoring and further analysis of this multimedia educational resource for MDS patients will be necessary to understand how tailored education provided via this format impacts and benefits patient health outcomes.
