Full textAbstract:
Engaging family advisors in pediatric quality improvement (QI) efforts is well-studied in intensive care but less understood in other settings. The purpose of this study was to assess the perceived impact of including a family advisor as a colead on a QI initiative that successfully improved the family-centered timing of routine morning blood tests performed on pediatric inpatients. Five structured written reflections from core QI team members were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis and 3 major themes were identified. The first found that a family advisor’s presence from the beginning of a QI initiative helps inform project design. The second determined that family partners working with residents fostered a better shared understanding of the role of trainees and caregivers in improving the quality of care. The third found that a family partner is an effective change agent to enact practice improvement, support professional development, and enhance resident education. Our qualitative analysis showed that engaging a family advisor as a colead influenced the design, implementation, and post-intervention impact of the initiative and improved family-centered outcomes.

"THE POSITION AND THE ROLES OF THE ADVISOR OF THE COURT FOR CHILDREN IN THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN MALAYSIA: ISSUES AND CHALLENGES."

Full textAbstract:
The establishment of the Court for Children in the juvenile justice system is to provide legal protection for children. This court consists of a Magistrate and two advisors which one of them is a woman as provided in section 11 (2) of the Child Act 2001. Basically, the role of the advisor of the Court for Children is to advise the Magistrate relating to the orders (punishment) to be imposed on children who are in conflict with the law and to advise the parents or guardians whenever necessary. However, Section 11 of the Child Act 2001 is the only provision as regards the advisor of the Court for Children in Malaysia. There are no other guidelines or regulations on the mechanism of execution of duties of the advisor, its appointments, and training requirements. Thus, this study aims to identify the issues and challenges relating to the position and roles of the advisor. An analysis is made of legal documents and academic journals. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted with the Social Welfare Department (JKM), Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM), Legal Affairs Division (BHEUU), Prime Minister Department (JPM), and five Children Court advisors (who are representing the urban and rural areas). The study found that the Children Court advisor was recognized in 1947 via the Juvenile Court Act 1947. However, there are several issues and challenges to be addressed including the jurisdiction, governance structure, a mechanism of execution of duties, appointment criteria, the appointment process, modules, and training for Children Court advisors. The absence of guidelines, specific regulations, or manuals has limited the functions and roles of the Children Court advisor. This study suggests a better legal framework for the Children Court advisors to increase their credibility and professionalism. Thus, they can play an effective role in the juvenile justice system in Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
We follow one advisor and five family firm succession cases over 4 years to capture emerging emotions during the succession process. Using inductive analysis, we investigate how the advisor’s mediation of these emotions affects individual-level satisfaction with the succession process. Interviews, observation, meeting minutes, and archival data reveal an iterative process: the advisor first unearths the incumbent’s and successor’s emotions to surface emotional tensions before alleviating them. Unearthing and alleviating emotions speeds role adjustments and advances succession, especially when the incumbent becomes “stuck” in the process. Emotion mediation and role adjustment appear to foster individual-level satisfaction with the succession process.

This study reviews the literature on advising family firms and integrates past contributions in such a way that scholars can use the findings as a foundation to launch future research. It reviews 105 articles and other research contributions published since 1983. The findings suggest that although advisors play a crucial role within family firms, there remains to date a lack of rigorous academic research. These past contributions are integrated into a framework that provides a first step toward developing theoretical arguments and charting directions for future research that address the nature of the family firm–advisor relationship.

220 Background: Patient, family and public engagement builds strong, sustainable partnerships benefitting the planning, delivery and evaluation of health services. With growing international evidence and increased organizational investment supporting this type of engagement, evaluating the experience of these individuals is essential to ensuring meaningful participation and value. This study describes the development and psychometric properties of the Advisor Experience Survey in order to assess on-going patient, family and public advisor engagement at the system-level. Methods: The development and psychometric validation consisted of five steps: 1) literature review to identify relevant engagement experience items; 2) modified Delphi process where relevant engagement experience items were rated by experts; 3) cognitive interviews to ensure that items were clear and understandable; 4) pilot of survey; and 5) exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA; CFA) to determine construct validity. Results: The 13-item survey was disseminated to eligible patient, family and public advisors between April and September 2016 using FluidSurveys. All items were rated on a 5-point Likert scale. A total of 126 responses were included in the EFA and CFA. The final confirmatory solution consists of 3-factors (Support and Resources, Engagement Opportunities and Engagement Experience), including 9-items (X2= 31.4, df = 24; AGFI = 0.92; CFI = 0.99; SRMR = 0.02 and RMSEA = 0.05; 95% C.I. = 0.00-0.09). The 3-factor solution explains a total of 92% of the variance of the advisor engagement experience. Conclusions: The 3-factor Advisor Experience Survey with 9-items is acceptable for measuring the patient, family and public advisor engagement experience as it demonstrates good internal consistency and construct reliability. Cancer Care Ontario utilizes the 3-factor solution to report patient, family and advisor engagement experience at the system-level on a quarterly basis.

Consulting and working as an advisor to family businesses are awesome responsibilities. The interventions and advice we give will in some instances have an impact on a family for generations. As a result, it is critical to understand what factors create success as well as failure. In most instances, understanding our failures provides the richest opportunity to create future benefits for our clients. Accepting this challenge of learning from our mistakes requires courage and leadership to explore and understand our own depths and the five common shadows facing family business consultants and advisors. For those of us who take the risk and accept the challenge, the benefits are enormous—not only for ourselves and our profession but more importantly for our clients who are the recipients of our work.

Full textAbstract:
Family enterprise advisors work on complex and unique problems for their family enterprise clients. Little attention has been given to these professionals and their abilities to provide innovative solutions. In this study, our aim is to understand more about family enterprise advisors ( N = 231). To achieve this objective, we hypothesize that the effects of advisor goal orientation (i.e., learning orientation, proving orientation, and avoidance orientation) on adaptive behaviors (i.e., personal bricolage and individual innovative behavior) are mediated by the quality of feedback received from clients. The results indicate that quality of feedback partially mediates the relationships between goal orientation and these behaviors. We conclude by providing a practitioner model explaining how advisors may adapt to different family enterprise client role environments.

Implementation of law number 22 in the year of 1999 on regional autonomy has changed the management of government of Indonesia, both on the national scale and on a regional one. One of thegovernment institutions that got its impact is Family Planning Program. This program has implications, not only to advisor’s attitudes and work behaviors, such as job performance and working motivation but also to government commitment on the reception and implementation of this program namely formation of family planning institutions at theregional level.One of the attitudes indicated by the advisor in the form of complaints related to salary wages and operating costs are not considered balance with the workload that causes themotivation and performance of work decrease. Other phenomena are to turn over the workers in the family planning and other government institutions. Accumulation of these could be the cue of advisors’ weak commitment towards their institutions. Implications: This study can provide an understanding of job satisfaction and increase the extension's commitment in performing its duties.

The literature on advising family firms has primarily focused on providing practical advice through offering explicit intervention phases and advising models to family firm advisors. Yet the underlying implicit processes behind advising are not well understood. This study examines nine most trusted advisors in six family firms to develop a grounded theory model of how advisors capture attention, how they become attuned to family firm members to influence attention, and how they aid family members to collaboratively interrelate and mindfully govern the firm in order to facilitate an environment of collective attention.

Full textAbstract:
People place more value on advice from others whom they view as expert; however, the ways in which advisors might increase perceptions of their expertise through language choice remains unclear. This article examines a married partner’s ability to influence perceptions of their expertise, and consequent advice outcomes, by making explicit claims about past experience with a problem. Two experimental studies tested the effects of experience claims across work versus family problem contexts and examined dimensions of relational communication as mediators. Findings demonstrated that experience claims have the potential to affect evaluations of the spouse’s expertise and evaluations of advice; however, this effect varied based on problem context. Results suggested that statements about previous experience with work problems may improve advice outcomes, whereas experience claims in the context of family problems lead to less positive perceptions of advice. Perceived advisor empathy mediated the negative association between experience claims and advice outcomes.

As we knew that every individual is different than each other and their brain levels are also different, some students are very bright and some arenot, so there is a need to develop such system which will teach them as per their thought process and learning habits. This research aims to developa personalized virtual school environment for students which help them to learn the things same as they learn in school physically, but the thinghere is each student will be treated differently as per his/her ability. Hence, this system would be a virtual school for any student, which resemblesthe CBSE school system in India. In this virtual school, all things are present such as teachers, homework, games, and exams which present in actualschool except one which is the physical classroom because in virtual environment the course and things are personalized for each student as perhis/her thoughts and brain level, so here the student can seat in his/her home and can learn at any time with help of computer. The system is a webbasedenvironment and machine learning would be used for doing personalization on family and knowledge context of student. This web system contains four components: (1) Classification based on family context, (2) classification based on knowledge context, (3) learning material selection algorithm, (4) web-based learning system on top of above three, are discussed in this paper.

Full textAbstract:
Although doctoral students in the biomedical sciences have been recognized as a population at particular risk for mental health problems such as burnout and depression, little research has been conducted to identify candidate targets for intervention. To this end, we used the stress process model to evaluate potential mediators of stress–burnout and stress–depression relationships in biomedical doctoral students. A cross-sectional sample ( n = 69) completed validated self-report measures of stress; symptoms of burnout and depression; and perceptions of mastery, social support, and advisor support. In linear regression models, we found that academic stressors were most predictive of burnout, whereas family/monetary stressors were most predictive of depression. In mediation models, we found that the relationship between stress and burnout was partially mediated by mastery and advisor support, while the stress–depression relationship was partially mediated by mastery. These findings represent a first step in identifying interventional targets to improve mental health in this at-risk population. Whereas certain stressors are inherent to the doctoral training environment, psychosocial interventions to enhance one’s sense of mastery and/or to improve advisor relationships may mitigate the influence of such stressors on burnout and depression.

Although leasing can be an interesting financing option from an economic point of view, family businesses are found to be less prone to lease. In this study, we examine the view of the external accountant on leasing as an alternative form of financing within family businesses. After all, as the most trusted advisor, the accountant likely has a significant influence on the financial decisions that are taken within private family businesses. By means of an exploratory qualitative study, we examine what factors influence the advice for a particular financing option and the accountant’s recommendation to lease or not to lease within family businesses. By combining the extant literature with the results of this exploratory qualitative research, we formulate propositions that form fruitful avenues for future research.

Full textAbstract:
These extracts on music from the correspondence between Charles Jennens (1700–73) and Edward Holdsworth (1684–1746) reflect the authors' shared interests and (prohibited) political views. Though commonly known as the librettist of Messiah, Jennens was also a collector of music and art, and as such capitalized on Holdworth's travels as a tutor of young gentlemen on the Grand Tour. Many of the letters detail musical commissions and their fulfilment by a willing Holdsworth. In return, Jennens acted as Holdsworth's financial advisor, editorial consultant and publication adviser. Other discussions centre around the public and personal rating of singers and operas, in London and abroad, and include discussions of Handel's fortunes, his borrowing of music from Jennens's collection and his health. Mentions of personnel are not restricted to musicians but also encompass members of Jennens's family and of his and Holdsworth's social circles, many of whom were supporters of Handel.

Full textAbstract:
A national sample of PhD-trained scientists completed training, accepted subsequent employment in academic and nonacademic positions, and were queried about their previous graduate training and current employment. Respondents indicated factors contributing to their employment decision (e.g., working conditions, salary, job security). The data indicate the relative importance of deciding factors influencing career choice, controlling for gender, initial interest in faculty careers, and number of postgraduate publications. Among both well-represented (WR; n = 3444) and underrepresented minority (URM; n = 225) respondents, faculty career choice was positively associated with desire for autonomy and partner opportunity and negatively associated with desire for leadership opportunity. Differences between groups in reasons endorsed included: variety, prestige, salary, family influence, and faculty advisor influence. Furthermore, endorsement of faculty advisor or other mentor influence and family or peer influence were surprisingly rare across groups, suggesting that formal and informal support networks could provide a missed opportunity to provide support for trainees who want to stay in faculty career paths. Reasons requiring alteration of misperceptions (e.g., limited leadership opportunity for faculty) must be distinguished from reasons requiring removal of actual barriers. Further investigation into factors that affect PhDs’ career decisions can help elucidate why URM candidates are disproportionately exiting the academy.

Full textAbstract:
This article draws on an ethnographic study of a media program serving Hmong immigrant youth to illuminate perspectives and practices of teaching and learning that draw on Hmong culture’s emphasis on family and collectivism. Our explication is guided by the following question: How do a Hmong adult youth program advisor and Hmong youth connect as “family” in an educative relationship? It reveals insight for understanding the ways in which low-income, immigrant youth may be supported within educational contexts imbued by an intimacy and reciprocity that revalues the social and cultural dimensions of their lives. The article significantly advances research on the ways in which educators who share with youth the same racialized identity, neighborhood, and community construct learning environments.

The purpose of this article is to report the process outcomes of a coaching methodology used in a study designed to increase fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity in families. Eighty-eight families with second graders were recruited from a rural, biethnic community in Colorado and randomized to intervention and delayed intervention conditions. This article reports on the 27 families in the delayed intervention group. Families received up to 10 home visits over 10 months from a family advisor and completed activities to improve their dietary and physical activity behaviors. Coaching conversations took place during each home visit. Coaching process outcomes were evaluated by analysis of visit documentation, participant survey, and qualitative interviews. Results indicated that coaching, in conjunction with family activities, engaged families in the process of change and facilitated movement toward the achievement of their weekly nutrition or physical activity goals. Coaching methodology may be particularly useful for participatory research.

Full textAbstract:
Background:The presence of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP antibodies) is associated with progression to inflammatory arthritis (IA) [1]; however, most patients attending primary care with a new non-specific musculoskeletal (MSK) complaint and no clinical synovitis have a negative result for this test (CCP-). Considering that only a small proportion of these individuals will be diagnosed with an IA within the next 12 months, predicting disease progression in these patients appears to be more challenging.Objectives:To investigate factors that could be associated with disease progression in patients testing CCP- in order to optimise primary care referrals to Rheumatology.Methods:A prospective observational study recruiting patients over 16 years old with a new MSK complaint and no clinical synovitis was conducted. Patients recruited from primary care centres across the UK from July 2007 until November 2018 were included in this analysis. Those testing negative for the anti-CCP2 assay (initially phadia, later bioplex) were sent questionnaires 1 year later, and GPs were contacted in November 2019 to confirm their disease status.Results:7521 eligible patients were recruited from primary care. 7290 (97%) of them were CCP- and 5678 returned the questionnaire after 1 year. 239 patients (4.2%) of these CCP- reported progression to IA; however, this diagnosis was only confirmed in 53 of them (0.93%). In another 38 patients, the IA diagnosis could not be confirmed and therefore they were not included in the analysis. 21 patients progressed to rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 13 to spondyloarthritis, 11 to polymyalgia rheumatica (requiring disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs), 3 to polymyositis, 3 to systemic lupus erythematosus and 2 to systemic sclerosis. Table 1 describes the most troublesome joints and table 2 other concomitant MSK diagnoses of the non-progressors/ progressors; and among the last ones, the RA group. Multivariable analysis showed that pain in specific joints was associated with development of IA within the following 12 months: hand odds ratio (OR) 2.1 [95%CI (1.09-4.16), p=0.027], knee OR 2.0 [95%CI (1.13-3.91), p=0.02], and shoulder OR 1.8 [95%CI (1.02-3.45), p=0.043). Smoking exposure, having a first degree relative with RA and gender were not predictive for progression.

Objective Behavioral science faculty in family medicine residencies work on inpatient medicine teaching service settings. However, there is limited research on the roles and responsibilities that behavioral science faculty fill while working in such settings. Method Using a modified sequential explanatory study, researchers clarified the roles and responsibilities of behavioral science faculty. Participants completed a web-based survey ( N = 60) on roles and a semistructured interview ( N = 24) about the responsibilities on inpatient medicine teaching service. Results Results suggest that behavioral science faculty assume the roles of educator, patient care supporter, evaluator, mentor/advisor, and scholar/researcher and perform multiple responsibilities. Conclusions Implications for this research inform the hiring process and training for behavioral science faculty and resident education.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Many family businesses do not survive into the second generation. A common reason put forward for this is poor succession planning for the second generation. This paper is designed with the aim to explore the role of the father in supporting the son’s business knowledge and development in Vietnamese family businesses. Design/methodology/approach This research adopted an inductive qualitative approach using multiple face-to-face semi-structured interviews with five father–son succession pairs. The interview participants were a cross section of Vietnamese family businesses, where the father–son pair was involved in the process of business knowledge transfer and the succession process was at an advanced stage. Findings The results suggest that the father plays different roles at different stages of the son’s business knowledge development process. In particular, the father acts as an example during the son’s childhood; a supporter to encourage the son to gain more business knowledge from both formal education and working experience outside the family business; a mentor and trouble-shooter after the son joins the family business as a full-time employee; and as an advisor after the son becomes the leader of the firm. Originality/value Most Vietnamese family businesses are still operating under the control of the first generation, and as a result, research into the succession process in Vietnam can help to provide valuable insights. Furthermore, existing research into the role of the predecessor in the whole process from the successor’s childhood until the end of the succession process is ambiguous and requires further research to clarify this research gap.

Abstract Objectives To understand the role of mothers’ social networks in the food choices that mothers make for their children ages 1 to 5 years old in rural Mexico. Methods In-depth interviews were conducted with 46 participants from 3 rural communities between November and December 2016. The interviews inquired about participants’ child-feeding practices, personal and local beliefs about child feeding, and individuals with whom participants discussed food. All interviews were in Spanish, audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, verified for quality, and analyzed using the constant comparative method. Results The networks that participants described in relation to food choice were largely interconnected and embedded within the social space of their communities. These networks were household family, non-household family, community, children's initial school, and health and pantry personnel. Participants described the functions of each network for the feeding of their children. These functions ranged from directly intervening on feeding behavior in the most proximal network, i.e., household family, to providing formal feeding and nutritional guidance in the most peripheral network, i.e., health and pantry personnel. Some networks had unique functions that no other network had, while some functions were shared across networks. Across the networks, professionals, participants’ mothers and mothers-in-law, community senior women, and other women with children emerged as trusted figures whom mothers would turn to for child-feeding advice. Participants were in constant interaction with their social networks and rarely turned to only one advisor. Participants expressed striking a balance between the input received, what they make of it, and eventually weighing their children's responses, resources available, and situations in which interactions occur and food choice is made for children. Conclusions Social networks have vital functions in establishing norms for food choices made for children. The multiplicity of child-feeding advisors may be especially important in strategies that seek to promote healthy food choices for children during developmental years to foster healthy eating patterns.

Abstract Background Multiplex RVP assays are frequently offered at medical centers to screen for viruses using nucleic acid technology. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) uses the Genmark eSensor RVP detecting 14 virus types/subtypes. This study evaluated how RVPs are used in a large medical center to better understand physician practices. Methods A 32 question, descriptive survey, created using the Qualtrics survey database, was sent via email to pediatric, emergency, internal, and family physicians at large academic hospitals in the UPMC network. The anonymous survey was sent 3 times between January 2017 and March 2017. Survey data were analyzed using the SPSS statistics software. Results 543/1,265 (43%) survey responses were received; 492 were evaluable. 56% were female; 42% see children, 45% see adults, 13% see both; 16% see patients in the ED. Training levels included 51% residents/fellows and 49% attendings. Of doctors responding, 87% order RVPs. Most (85%) have changed treatment decisions based on a RVP result; 53% changed management ~50% of the time. Conclusion Physicians order RVPs most frequently if they believe the results will change treatment. RVPs are ordered more for young and elderly patients, and those with underlying immunosuppression or chronic illness. Cost does not limit physician ordering and most are unaware of it. Suspected influenza or specific virus is also considered. Disclosures J. V. Williams, Quidel: Scientific Advisor, Consulting fee GlaxoSmithKline: Scientific Advisor, Consulting fee R.

Researching biography does not only mean exploring the course and trajectory of human life but also understanding people’s life projects, see goals that have been achieved or abandoned and the legacy if there remains any. The article presents one of the areas of pedagogical activity of Teresa Śliwińska: a teacher, headmistress, methodological advisor and community activist, which is a concern for building a school community. The subject of our paper in view of T. Śliwiśka’s literary output is the selected examples on passing on community (collective) values to students, such as religious, family and patriotic values by teachers and parents together. We have not only analyzed values themselves, but also the conditions and dilemmas accompanying the process of passing on the values and the cooperation of the school and home environments.

Full textAbstract:
The participation of the marchese Orazio Spada (1613-87) in the design of his family chapel (1663-79) in the Chiesa Nuova has recently been acknowledged, but much remains to be said about the character of his patronage and his activity as an amateur architect. The marchese's approach to building was shaped by his family experience and was probably most profoundly influenced by the example of his uncle, Virgilio Spada, architectural advisor to a succession of popes. That Orazio's taste was more conservative than that of his uncle is demonstrated by a series of heretofore unpublished villa designs attributable to the marchese that demonstrate his preference for the classicism of Renaissance models. Some of these designs are based directly on the works of Andrea Palladio. Similarly, the plan and elevation of the main oval body of the Spada Chapel is an almost exact copy of Vignola's Sant'Anna de' Palafrenieri. The fidelity with which he follows this Renaissance model suggests that the marchese was partly responsible for the basic design, along with the professional architects who worked on the project, Camillo Arcucci (to 1667) and his successor, Carlo Rainaldi.

Full textAbstract:
Background People with Alzheimer disease and related dementias often display disruptive behaviors (eg, aggression, wandering, and restlessness), which increase family caregivers’ burden of care. However, there are few tools currently available to help these caregivers manage disruptive behaviors. Mobile apps could meet this need, but to date little is known about them. Objective The aims of our study were to identify existing mobile apps designed to support family caregivers of people with Alzheimer disease and related dementias in managing disruptive behaviors; explore whether family caregivers view these mobile apps as relevant to meeting their needs and as useful in managing disruptive behaviors; and document the types of mobile apps that are of interest and appeal to most family caregivers (with regard to format, ergonomics, and clarity). Methods A review of mobile apps initially conducted in February 2018 was updated in March 2019 with 2 platforms (App Store [Apple Inc.] and Google Play [Google]). The selected apps were first analyzed independently by 3 raters (2 students and 1 researcher) for each of the platforms. A focus group discussion was then held with 4 family caregivers to explore their perceptions of the apps according to their needs and interests. The content of the discussion was analyzed. Results Initially, 7 of 118 apps identified met the inclusion criteria. An eighth app, recommended by one of the knowledge users, was added later. Four family caregivers (women aged between 58 and 78 years) participated in the discussion. Participants expressed a preference for easy-to-understand apps that provide concrete intervention strategies. They reported being most inclined to use two apps, Dementia Advisor and DTA Behaviours. Conclusions Few mobile apps on the market meet the needs of family caregivers in terms of content and usability. Our results could help to address this gap by identifying what family caregivers deem relevant in a mobile app to help them manage disruptive behaviors.

Abstract BACKGROUND In 2016, a Canadian paediatric emergency department (ED) partnered with families in the co-design of a LEAN-based quality improvement (QI) project with the goal of increasing the proportion of asthmatic children receiving oral corticosteroids within one hour of arrival. LEAN projects aim to eliminate non-value-added process steps and to creatively solve problems as a team. Implemented changes included a process redesign with steroids given at the door and a revised asthma pathway increasing nurse autonomy prior to physician assessment. A sustained improvement (>12 months) was achieved, with asthmatic children consistently (>90%) receiving timely steroids within a mean time of 20 minutes. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine the cost savings of the improvements achieved by eliminating non-value-added process steps executed by physicians and nurses. The primary outcome measure was the number of documented care acts by physicians and nurses. DESIGN/METHODS Cases were identified by using the diagnostic code for asthma in the electronic medical record. This study included children 1 to 18 with Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) score ≥ 4 at triage. Patients who required admission were excluded. We reviewed a random sample of 20 to 30 charts monthly for 12 months, 6 months pre- and post-implementation of the revised asthma pathway. Physicians are remunerated on a fee-for-service basis and we modeled cost-savings of physician remunerations based on publically available physician fees. We assessed the number of documented nursing acts as a proxy for resource allocation in the ED given that the pathway increased nursing autonomy prior to physician assessment. RESULTS A total of 270 patients were included. With a simple process redesign aimed at getting children timely steroids at triage, the number of physician assessments decreased by 18%. In terms of physician billing, the cost savings were $24 per asthmatic patient in the ED. With >3000 asthma ED visits annually, the resulting estimated cost savings were >$72,000 per year. Even though increased nursing autonomy was part of the new process, documented nursing acts decreased by 10%. Moreover, although not included in the cost savings analysis, ED length of stay and admission rates both decreased. CONCLUSION Engaging frontline healthcare teams to co-design improvement initiatives with family partners in the ED is an excellent mechanism for leaders to sponsor. Frontline teams can implement creative and simple solutions that result in improved quality of care while also reducing unnecessary healthcare expenditures.

Abstract Abstract SCI-14 Many, if not most, chemotherapeutic agents kill cancer cells via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. A simple model of this pathway breaks the killing into three steps. In Step 1, drug contacts target. In Step 2, prodeath signaling is generated. In Step 3, this pro-death signaling is interpreted by the BCL-2 family proteins at the mitochondrion, and when sufficient, the cancer cell is committed to the fate of death. Despite prominent exceptions, it is generally poorly understood why some cells are killed by chemotherapy and others are not. This is particularly perplexing in the case of most conventional chemotherapeutics which target ubiquitous elements such as DNA or microtubules. Most studies of determinants of chemotherapy induced cell death are focused on Steps 1 and 2. Relatively little is known about how mitochondrial preconditions affect chemosensitivity in cancer cells. We have developed a tool called BH3 profiling which exposes mitochondria to measured doses of BH3 domains, pro-death molecules of the BCL-2 family that ultimately carry pro-death signaling from Step 2 to the mitochondrion. By comparing mitochondrial dysfunction between different cells exposed to identical doses of BH3 domains, we can compare readiness of different cell types to undergo apoptosis. We have shown that this mitochondrial preset predicts response to conventional therapies of disparate mechanism, including etoposide, vincristine, and doxorubicin. Furthermore, BH3 profiling can predict response to agents such as ABT-737 which selectively kill cells dependent on anti-apoptotic proteins BCL-2, BCL-XL, and BCL-w. We have found BH3 profiling to be useful in many hematologic malignancies, including CLL, AML, ALL, lymphoma and myeloma. We have recently improved the BH3 profiling tool so that now it can be performed in a fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) format. The FACS format allows us to deconvolute complex, heterogeneous samples such are typically provided by clinical material. Our results suggest that heterogeneity of response to therapies, either within heterogeneous samples or between different tumors, relies to a very great extent on the mitochondrial preset measured by BH3 profiling.

A Turkish citizen of Chechen origin, Haji Yusuf played a significant role in the formation of the administrative and military institutions of the Imamat, the construction of fortifications, in communications with officials of the Ottoman Empire; he is considered one of the important figures of the Shamil era, "the behind-the-scenes mind of the imam."Several studies of different times have been devoted to the fate of Haji Yusuf, but quite a lot of time has passed since their publication, new information has been revealed that make it possible to clarify the details of his life path and describe in more detail the biography of this remarkable personality. His scientific biography helps to raise the level of knowledge of the life of a particular person, to recreate the history of a person in connection with historical realities and social reality, to characterize time against the background of a person.For this, his autobiographical information was used, as well as an array of identified sources and materials, the analysis of which was made in comparison. The results obtained demonstrate the stages of the life of Haji Yusuf in chronological order: birth in the village. Aldy; the family moved to the Ottoman Empire, received an education there and then served in the army of the Egyptian Pasha (until 1834); return to the Caucasus, work as a home teacher for the Kabardian prince (1834 - 1839); desire to return to Turkey and departure to the Black Sea coast of Circassia (1839 - 1841); establishing contacts and moving to Imam Shamil (1841); activity in the service of the Imamat - naib, adviser, engineer (until 1854); exile for attempting to discredit the imam (1854 - 1856); flight to the Russians (1856). In addition, the study publishes the legacy of Haji Yusuf - maps and diagrams drawn by him to inform the officials of the Ottoman Empire about the Imamate.

On 19 June 2019, one day before World Refugee Day, the Western Cape High Court handed down judgment in a case brought by the University of Cape Town’s Refugee Rights Unit on behalf of the Scalabrini Centre of Cape Town, which sought to improve the lives of thousands of asylum-seeking families across South Africa. The order, which was made after successful negotiations with the Department of Home Affairs (DHA/The Department) means that wives, husbands, children and other dependents of asylum-seekers and refugees are now able to document themselves in South Africa as ‘dependents’ of the principle asylum applicant in a process commonly known as ‘family-joining’. This aspect of the Refugee Act – outlined at section 3(c) – means that refugee families can be documented together, ensuring their rights to family unity and dignity in South Africa.
 The order confirms a set of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that had been agreed on by the applicants and DHA. The SOPs allow for refugees to apply to be documented (either through family joining or on their own grounds) upon provision of certain documents, where possible, such as a marriage certificate or birth certificate or affidavit (in the absence of such documents) – regardless of where the marriage or birth took place. Family joining can now also be completed regardless of whether the dependents in question were included in the applicant’s original asylum application or not. The SOPs also provide for DNA testing as a measure of last resort to confirm the validity of parents’ claim over their child. These changes mean that asylum-seeking and refugee families can now fulfil their right to access documentation in South Africa. Kelley Moult spoke to Sally Gandar, the Head of Advocacy and Legal Advisor for the Scalabrini Centre, and Popo Mfubu, an attorney at the Refugee Rights Unit, about the ground-breaking case.

The major areas of his activity at different life stages, academic interests, contribution to the development of medicine and diplomacy are studied. The paper examines the childhood of Heorhii Khodorovskyi, his parents, educators and school years. After school, Heorhii studied at Chernivtsi Medical Institute, pursued post-graduate studies and gained a degree of Doctor of Medicine. From 1961 to 1969, Heorhii Khodorovskyi – a postgraduate student, assistant professor, Associate Professor at Chernivtsi National University. In 1968, he was assigned to the Institute for Doctors Improvement in Moscow and later to the USSR Academy of Sciences to study foreign languages. Between 1969 and 1973, he was Associate Professor at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Zambia. Heorhii also held position of a chairman of the local committee of the Embassy of the USSR in Zambia. The following stage of Heorhii’s life went in Afghanistan, where he gained experience of people management in a foreign country under hazardous environment, terrorist acts, kidnapping and military operations. Between 1987 and 1990, Khodorovskyi was an advisor to the Rector of Kabul Medical Institute, head of a group of scientific and pedagogical staff of the USSR in Afghanistan, advisor to the Minister for Health of Afghanistan; worked in the trade mission of the USSR in Kabul. In February 1989, he returned from Afghanistan to Chernivtsi, where the staff of the Medical Institute nominated him as a candidate for the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine deputy. From 1990 till 1992, Heorhii acted as People’s Deputy of Ukraine of the 1st calling, was Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Women Affairs, Family Protection, Motherhood and Childhood. Heorhii was also engaged in operations on eliminating consequences of the Chernobyl disaster, worked with foreign delegations, was a member of the escort group during the visit of the President of Ukraine to Kyrgyzstan. He frequently went on foreign business trips, in the course of which took part in international conferences. At the Verkhovna Rada sessions, Khodorovskyi invariably put an emphasis on the issues of health protection of Ukrainian women and children, working and recreation environment, labour compensation and family support. The Ministry of Health of Ukraine Committee headed by Heorhii Khodorovskyi adopted a decision on the creation of the National Family Planning Program. In October 1992, he was transferred from the Verkhovna Rada to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. From 1992 to 1998, Heorhii Khodorovskyi served as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the Republic of India.

Abstract Background The AASLD HBV management guidelines were updated in 2018 to include new recommendations. Patient variables that inform HBV treatment candidacy and treatment selection are complex and interconnected. To aid healthcare practitioners (HCPs) in aligning management decisions with practice guidance, we developed a Web- and app-based decision support tool, Hep B Consult. Methods The tool enables users to specify a guideline (AASLD, EASL, or APASL) and prompts them to enter patient variables: HBV DNA/ALT levels, liver fibrosis, extrahepatic manifestations, family history of HCC or cirrhosis, pregnancy status, coinfection, and comorbidities. Users select their intended approach for the case, after which the tool displays guideline recommendations specific to that case. Cases entered from January 2019-April 2020 by users who specified AASLD guidance (N = 7106) were assessed. Results For 32.3% of cases, the user selected “unknown” for a variable necessary to reach a guideline recommendation (Fig 1). The information most often missing was the level of fibrosis/inflammation (unknown in 16.3% of cases). HCPs’ intended management approach matched the guidelines in 61.3% of cases for which a guideline recommendation was possible (Fig 2; n = 3742). Cases in which the HCP chose to monitor when treatment was indicated (11.6%) and those in which the HCP was unsure (12.2%) represented the largest discrepancies. Certain types of cases demonstrated higher discordance (Fig. 2). The intended approach did not match the guidelines for 49.2% of immune-tolerant cases (n = 128). We also identified patterns important for patient health. In 20.0% of cases with compensated cirrhosis or moderate/severe inflammation or fibrosis (n = 345) and 12.5% of cases with decompensated cirrhosis (n = 72), the HCP intended to monitor although treatment was indicated. Figure 1. Recommendation outcomes of cases entered for AASLD guidance. Figure 2. Inconsistencies between HCPs intended management practices and AASLD guidelines. Conclusion This tool highlights important knowledge gaps in information needed to make appropriate HBV management decisions, particularly in the setting of cirrhosis. It also demonstrates differences between HCPs’ approaches and the AASLD guideline recommendations. Of cases in which the HCPs’ intention were inconsistent with guidelines, 52.1% indicated that they planned to change their approach after being provided the recommendation by the tool (Fig 3).

The culminating project in completing a doctorate in education is the preparation and final defense of the dissertation. Specifically in educational administration and leadership, the student will have exerted hours of energy participating in course work, internships as well as in written and oral comprehensive examinations.By the time a student begins to prepare a dissertation proposal, hundreds of hours have been invested in academic endeavors. The student is well-versed in a variety of theoretical constructs that include leadership, organization, management, experimental design, statistics, law, finance, evaluation, and many other areas. The task remains to utilize the accumulated knowledge to successfully develop and complete the proposal and dissertation.Academic knowledge is not sufficient to prepare the dissertation. A number of other factors must be included and considered in the development and successful completion of the dissertation. The formula for success includes both internal and external factors. The internal factors include goal setting, listening, writing strategy, benchmarking, confidence, flexibility, a positive disposition, discipline, adaptability, resiliency, humor, collaboration, and interpersonal skills. The external factors include time, family support, supervisor/institutional consideration, and advisor motivation.

Engaging patients and families in research and the design of quality improvement is an essential component of Patient and Family Centred Care (PFCC). Alberta Health Services (AHS) has been engaging patients and families to promote a cultural shift towards PFCC. The AHS trains patient and family advisors to share their experiences and encourages staff to work with advisors to co-design improvements in care. This article briefly describes the role and growth of patient and family advisors, advisory groups, and the participation of advisors in research initiatives through AHS’ Strategic Clinical NetworksTM. It also describes recent efforts to build AHS’ patient and family engagement capacity by introducing standard patient engagement training, supporting the creation of the innovative Patient and Community Engagement Research internship program, and by developing tools to measure the impact of patient and advisors on AHS. And finally, this article provides key learnings for health leaders.

„A FRIENDLY ALIEN”. ADOLF BERGER’S ESCAPE AND A LONG WAY TO THE UNITED STATES (1938-1942)Summary Adolf Berger (1882-1962) belongs to the group of the most illustrious world romanists. Among his many eminent works one must not forget to quote the monumental “Encyclopedic Dictionary of Roman Law”. Berger was born in Lwów in a Jewish family. During his whole life he felt strong connections with Poland. This attitude found its most significant expression after the World War I. Despite his perfect knowledge of German and rich contacts in German speaking countries, Berger offered his services to the reborn Poland. Therefore from 1919 to 1938 he was working as a secretary and then as a legal advisor for the Polish Consulate in Vienna. During that time he did not ceased his research in the field of Roman law. Shortly after Anschluß he left Austria and moved to France and later to Italy. Escaping from the Nazis, he finally settled in New York where he found refuge and could resume his scientific work. His abandonment of Vienna and a long journey to the United States was possible only due to his Polish citizenship.

Abstract Early life adversity (ELA) is associated with poor health through social and economic pathways. ELA also shapes cognitive and emotional development, including self-perception, social attachment and mental well-being. As such, ELA may shape later life health through social relationships, yet few studies have examined these associations. Data from the UC Berkeley Social Network Study were used to examine ELA measured retrospectively and current personal network characteristics among young (21-30 years) and older adults (50-70 years). ELA was operationalized as a summary of six experiences occurring before age 18 (e.g., parents’ divorce/separation, violence/drug use in the home, etc.). Personal network characteristics included objective measures, such as the number of ties who provide or receive various types of support, and subjective assessments about the adequacy of support received. Multivariate regression models adjusted for gender, race/ethnicity, and level of education. Among young adults, ELA was associated with more ties who rely upon the ego for support (b=0.15, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.28, p=0.02). Among older adults, ELA was associated with more ties named as either an advisor (b=0.14, 95% CI: 0.04, 0.21, p=0.02) or difficult/demanding (b=0.12, 95% CI: 0.04, 0.21, p<0.01). Furthermore, ELA was associated with less confidence in family support available (b= -0.09, 95% CI: -0.16, -0.03, p<0.01) and fewer emotionally close family members (b= -0.18, 95% CI: -0.32, -0.03, p=0.02) among older adults. In conclusion, clear differences emerged in network characteristics by exposure to ELA, particularly among older adults. The findings highlight potential pathways through which ELA patterns later life health.
