Abstract:
Background: Structured family meeting procedures and guidelines suggest that these forums enhance family–patient–team communication in the palliative care inpatient setting. However, the vulnerability of palliative patients and the resources required to implement family meetings in accordance with recommended guidelines make better understanding about the effectiveness of this type of intervention an important priority. Aim and design: This systematic review examines the evidence supporting family meetings as a strategy to address the needs of palliative patients and their families. The review conforms to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Statement. Data sources: Six medical and psychosocial databases and “CareSearch,” a palliative care–specific database, were used to identify studies reporting empirical data, published in English in peer-reviewed journals from 1980 to March 2015. Book chapters, expert opinion, and gray literature were excluded. The Cochrane Collaboration Tool assessed risk of bias. Results: Of the 5051 articles identified, 13 met the inclusion criteria: 10 quantitative and 3 qualitative studies. There was low-level evidence to support family meetings. Only two quantitative pre- and post-studies used a validated palliative care family outcome measure with both studies reporting significant results post-family meetings. Four other quantitative studies reported significant results using non-validated measures. Conclusion: Despite the existence of consensus-based family meeting guidelines, there is a paucity of evidence to support family meetings in the inpatient palliative care setting. Further research using more robust designs, validated outcome measures, and an economic analysis are required to build the family meeting evidence before they are routinely adopted into clinical practice.

Abstract:
This article investigates the way an institutional task of a meeting is oriented to by different meeting participants and developed in and through local interaction. Our data come from a city organization, where a large organizational change is planned and prepared through a series of face-to-face encounters and accompanying written texts. Using the notion of recontextualization and by connecting it to the conversation analytical method and to the notion of intersubjectivity, the study examines how the institutional task that is verbalized in written form prior to the meeting is conceptualized by meeting participants in their turns of talk. By doing so, the study will particularly shed light on the question of how different recontextualizations are motivated by their sequential position in interaction. Based on this, it also investigates how the meeting participants construct their professional identities through the conceptualizations made. In a wider sense, the article shows how spoken interaction and written texts interweave and form a reciprocal relationship in organizational life. Thus, it contributes to a deeper understanding about the multifaceted connections between the interactional management of meetings and wider organizational practices and processes that these encounters have been set up to advance.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTObjective:To develop a communication skills training module for health care professionals about how to conduct a family meeting in palliative care and to evaluate the module in terms of participant self-efficacy and satisfaction.Methods:Forty multispecialty health care professionals from the New York metropolitan area attended a communication skills training module at a Comprehensive Cancer Center about how to conduct a family meeting in oncology. The modular content was based on the Comskil model and current literature in the field.Results:Based on a retrospective pre–post measure, participants reported a significant increase in self-efficacy about their ability to conduct a family meeting. Furthermore, at least 93% of participants expressed their satisfaction with various aspects of the module by agreeing or strongly agreeing with statements on the course evaluation form.Significance of results:Family meetings play a significant role in the palliative care setting, where family support for planning and continuing care is vital to optimize patient care. Although these meetings can be challenging, this communication skills module is effective in increasing the confidence of participants in conducting a family meeting.

Abstract:
A series of 3-(p-X-phenyl) thiophene monomers (X= –H, –CH3, – OCH3, –COOC2H5, –COCH3,–NO2) was electrochemically polymerized to furnish polymer films that could be reversibly reduced and oxidized (n- and p-doped). The oxidation potentials of the monomers and formal potentials of the n- and p-doping processes of polymers were correlated with resonance and inductive effects of the substituents on the phenyl ring as well as the semiempirically calculated heats of formation of the monomer radical cations. Moreover, the oxidation potentials of the monomers were correlated with the ionization potentials of the monomers calculated using density functional theory. The reactivity for coupling reactions and the major regioselective products of the polymerization reaction of mono- and oligo-3-phenylthiophenes are inferred from the calculated lone electron spin densities of the respective radical cations. The ionization potentials, which correspond to the energies for generating radical cations during oxidative processes were estimated.

Abstract:
The contact with the documentary production as director, turns out to put myself in a privileged place within the conceptual construction on this genre of film. Being face to face with the character and to experience its importance in the process of producing a movie made me understand from a different point of view the stages of conception of artistic work. Therefore, this research seeks to understand, supported by the psychoanalytic method of interpretation, these three specific moments - meeting, conduction and sewing - of fundamental importance for the documentary film. The director and the character within a relationship of f (r)iction, put their subjectivities in constant shock, and it is precisely this friction and the different paths that arises is what provides the uniqueness of this mode of film production as complex and full of nuances. What the camera captures is something beyond mere likeness, representation and enactment of those who cross their objective. In the skin, under the skin of film, there is also a psychic wide world that this research tries to highlight.
O contato com a produção documental como diretor, acaba por me posicionar em um lugar privilegiado dentro da construção conceitual sobre esse gênero cinematográfico. Estar de frente com o personagem e vivenciar a sua importância no processo de produção de um filme me fez compreender a partir de um outro ponto de vista as etapas de concepção da obra artística. Portanto, essa pesquisa procura entender, tendo como suporte o método interpretativo psicanalítico, esses três momentos específicos encontro, condução e costura de fundamental importância para o filme documental. O diretor e o personagem, dentro de uma relação de f(r)icção, colocam suas subjetividades em choque constante, e é justamente esse atrito e os diferentes caminhos que surgem é que proporciona a singularidade desse modo de produção fílmica tão complexa e rica de sutilezas. O que a câmera capta algo além da simples efígie, da representação e da encenação de quem cruza sua objetiva. Na pele, na carne fílmica, há também um mundo psíquico amplo que essa pesquisa procura evidenciar.

Abstract:
This thesis deals with communication process among staff in a nursing home (the facility requested not to be named). It deals as well with implementing change in the structure of multidisciplinary staff meeting in the same nursing home to improve team cooperation and to fulfill Standards for Quality in Social Services. In four chapters of the theoretical part, author follows introduction to the topic of human communication and intracompany communication to determine researched domain. For the same reason author later deals with subject of teams, it's creation, leadership and team roles. Third chapter pursues topic of meetings, their benefit, types and rules how to conduct an effective meeting. Theoretical part ends with contextualization of communication process within the Standards for Quality in Social Services. Practical part contains diagnostics of communication process among staff in a nursing home that showed the need to conduct change in the structure of multidisciplinary staff meeting. Other chapters deal with the process of the change from the stage of laying out the goal of the change, over diagnosis of the actual state of the meeting with the use of qualitative research to the phase of a creation of a new methodic directive for multidisciplinary staff meeting.

Abstract:
A discussion is presented on the organization and operation of the Partnership for America's Cup Technology (PACT). Founded in February 1990 when individual American syndicates were unable to fund productive research and design programs, PACT's mission was to help the U.S. America's Cup Defense overcome the technical lead held by several foreign challengers in the new International America's Cup Class (IACC). PACT was to conduct cooperative technology development projects relevant to IACC yacht design to support all U.S. syndicates competing to defend the America's Cup. PACT had four major programs: gathering site specific environmental data; testing parametric series of hulls or appendages with associated improvements in testing methods; developing Computational Fluid Dynamics tools benchmarked by suitable experiments; developing and maintaining VPP centered design evaluation software. Since PACT was not involved in design itself, American syndicates maintained their own proprietary high level design programs. In areas where syndicates did not have comparable research programs, PACTs work was integrated into the syndicate design process and often played a role in their final designs. When PACT programs overlapped existing syndicate research, PACT provided a valuable second opinion. Planning and conducting PACT research was a team effort involving syndicate representatives and independent researchers. Regularly scheduled meetings and formal reports were used to distribute information to the American Syndicates.

Abstract:
Recent advances in semiconductor technologies are accompanied by an accelerated increase in power density level from high performance chips such as microprocessors. The thermal management of electronic devices, especially meeting the limitations on maximum operating temperature and ensuring temperature uniformity across the chip, becomes one of the most critical issues in the electronic industry. Much effort is devoted to devising the efficient electronic cooling technologies. One cooling strategy proposed by Bejan is that the heat generated in a finite volume may be removed to a point on the boundary through some embedded conducting paths with high conductivity in the substrate. The problem is to optimize the allocation of the conducting paths so that the generated heat can be most effectively dissipated and the highest temperature in the domain is minimized, which is called the volume-to-point conduction problem. Bejan developed the constructal method to optimize the high conductivity material allocation. However the uniformly distributed heat source is always assumed in Bejan’s discuss, which is not consistent with the reality in the chips or other integrated circuits. In the present work, the volume-to-point conduction problem with non-uniform heat sources is formulated in the framework of the entransy dissipation theory and is solved by the variational method and finite element method. The tree-shape distribution of the conducting paths is obtained, which agrees with the constructal theory.

Abstract:
United Kingdom Nirex Limited (Nirex) is responsible for providing the UK with environmentally-sound and publicly-acceptable options for the long-term management of radioactive materials generated by the Nation’s commercial, medical, research and defence activities. An important part of Nirex’s responsibilities in developing these options is to build acceptance of its concepts through effective dialogue and engagement with a wide range of stakeholders. One of the options developed by Nirex for the long-term isolation of intermediate-level and some low-level from the accessible environment is to place these wastes in a deep underground repository, excavated in stable rock formations. The repository would remain accessible to allow future generations to have the choice of continuing to store the waste, or to dispose of the wastes by sealing and closing the repository. In conducting the scientific and technical research on this phased disposal concept, Nirex wanted its work programmes to take account of any public concerns with regard to radioactive waste and its management and proposed to develop its understanding of such concerns through public engagement. In October 2001, Nirex engaged an independent organisation to conduct a series of focus group discussions. Focus group meetings were arranged in 4 locations across the UK, selecting varying groups in terms of age, lifestage and socio-economic circumstances in order to engage a broad cross-section of the UK population. Each group attended two, 2-hour sessions on successive evenings. The first session was a general discussion of the issues of nuclear energy and radioactive waste. The second session focused on the more specific detail of the Nirex Phased Disposal Concept. Explanatory material was given to participants at each session. The work has provided some very useful information on issues, which the focus groups considered significant. The groups were able, in the short time available, to grasp many important issues and to provide their views across a range of technical areas. This work has helped Nirex to better understand ways of engaging the public in technical issues and to appreciate some of the key areas and concerns on the more technical areas associated with phased disposal. Several technical queries were identified, which the facilitators were unable to answer during the focus group discussions — Nirex has subsequently provided answers to these questions and made these available on the Nirex Bibliography. This paper describes the approach taken for the focus groups and outlines key findings from the work and some implications for Nirex in communicating technical issues to the public.

Abstract:
Preventing unintended pregnancy among HIV-positive women is an effective approach to reducing pediatric HIV infection and vital to meeting HIV-positive women’s sexual and reproductive health needs. Although contraceptive services for HIV-positive women is one of the cornerstones of a comprehensive program for prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT), a review of PMTCT programs found that implementers have not prioritized family planning (FP). While there is increasing awareness about the importance of FP and HIV integration, data about FP from PMTCT clients are lacking. The Horizons Program is conducting an operations research study testing several community-based strategies to reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV in a densely settled urban slum in Nairobi, Kenya. Strategies being piloted include moving PMTCT services closer to the population via a mobile clinic and increasing psychosocial support for HIV-positive women. This research update presents key findings about FP at PMTCT sites, including the interaction between providers and clients as well as HIV-positive women’s fertility desires and demand for contraceptives, from the baseline cross-sectional survey and qualitative interviews with postpartum women.
