Abstract:

11 Background: Despite ongoing national efforts to promote state-mandated health care, such as the Affordable Health Care Act, many regions still struggle with high rates of uninsured and under-insured residents. Over 500,000 people have enrolled in the Healthy Michigan Plan, but premium payments are often prohibitively higher than the penalties for failing to obtain insurance. In Oakland County, 15% of adults remain uninsured and only 66.4% receive access to mammography screening. Developed in 2009, the St Joseph Mercy Oakland Pink Ribbon Mammogram Program takes a unique approach to addressing this issue, providing free breast cancer screening for women in Oakland County. Methods: Since its inception six years ago, the SJMO Pink Ribbon Program has served 806 Oakland County uninsured and under-insured women. This was made possible through the coordination of funding from the Pink Ribbon Trailblazers, a local grass-roots organization led by a breast cancer survivor, and St Joseph Mercy Oakland Hospital. Our program is unique, as women not only receive a free screening mammogram, but also a personalized breast cancer risk assessment and a clinical breast exam by a breast surgeon. The program also covers diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound if necessary. Women who need biopsy meet with the oncology financial navigator. Most women are enrolled in either the State of Michigan Title XV program/BCCCP, or Mercy Support, a charitable financial assistance program through the hospital. Women diagnosed with breast cancer either continue in Mercy Support or are enrolled in Medicaid. Results: We have found that despite the recent Affordable Health Care Act, demand for our program continues to increase annually. There continues to be a need for local communities to address health care disparities amongst lower income populations in Oakland County and throughout the nation. Conclusions: The purpose of this article is to describe the way that a local charitable organization, physician, and the hospital can come together to fund and provide continuity of care from screening, diagnosis, to treatment for low income women.

Hasil penelitian ini mengemukakan bahwa manajemen special event Jakarta Goes Pink dikategorikan dalam riset, desain, perencanaan, koordinasi, dan evaluasi. Riset yang dilakukan meliputi analisis situasi terkait kesadaran masyarakat Indonesia tentang kanker payudara, hasil riset menyatakan bahwa kesadaran masih rendah, terutama dibandingkan dengan aktivitas Pink Ribbon diluar negeri dan evaluasi acara tahun sebelumnya. Desain acara dilakukan menggunakan unsur warna untuk memerahmudakan Jakarta, edukasi pengunjung terhadap kanker payudara, dan unsur hiburan dengan konsep fair and festival. Perencanaan Jakarta Goes Pink meliputi penentuan tujuan yang kemudian dapat menentukan tanggal dan lokasi, penetapan anggaran, pembagian tugas pengurus, dan publikasi yang dilakukan melalui media sosial dan bantuan mitra media. Koordinasi dilakukan sebagai upaya pengelolaan komunikasi antara pihak eksternal seperti komunitas, relawan, sponsor, dan mitra media; serta pihak internal yaitu kepengurusan Jakarta Goes Pink. Tahap evaluasi yang dilakukan Jakarta Goes Pink meliputi evaluasi acara, feedback langsung dari orang terdekat, dan penghitungan jumlah liputan media massa dan sifat pemberitaan. Kata kunci: Special event, kesadaran, organisasi, kanker payudara, event management process ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the event management process by Lovepink Indonesia in Jakarta Goes Pink 2015 to raise awareness. This study uses the Event Management Process by Joe Goldblatt as the cornerstone concept. This study used a qualitative research approach descriptive study. Data was collected by in-depth interviews, passive participant observation, and literature study. The key informant collection technique used is purporsive sampling. Data were analyzed using three stages, which is data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Validity of the data using triangulation of data sources. The result of this study indicates that event management process of Jakarta Goes Pink 2015 is categorized in several stages, which are research, design, planning, coordination, and evaluation. Research was conducted on the analysis of the situation related to the Indonesian community awarenessabout breast cancer, the result of this research indicates that awareness is still low, especially compared to Pink Ribbon activities abroad and evaluation of previous year’s event. Event design is done using the color element to make the concept of Jakarta Goes Pink comes alive, educating visitors about breast cancer, and the element of entertainment within the concept of fair and festival. The planning involves in setting goals that determine the time and location, budgeting, human resource management, and publication through social media and media partners. Coordination is done as an effort to manage the communication between external parties such as the communities, volunteers, sponsors, and media partners; as well as internal parties, which is the committee of Jakarta Goes Pink itself. Evaluation includes an evaluation of the event, direct feedback from dearest people, and the calculation of the amount of media coverage and the nature of the news.

Abstract:

Breast cancer poses a major health risk to Pakistani women causing 40,000 deaths annually in Pakistan (Pink Ribbon 2019). Based on 40 in-depth interviews with women who have been treated for breast cancer from rural Sindh, this study explores the extent to which families, living in rural and less developed areas with poor socio-economic conditions, provide support to the patients. The results show that women as well as their husbands’ level of education and awareness is correlated to delayed access to medical services. Our findings show that husband’s support and empathy has a therapeutic effect on cancer patients. Women’s well-being and self-esteem was strongly associated with how men saw and dealt with their disease. Based on the findings, we recommend introducing awareness raising programmes and a well-integrated social support system to help the patients and particularly men who control women’s lives.

Abstract:

The ‘pink ribbon culture’ dominates understandings of breast cancer in Western societies. We describe this as an ‘illness culture’, consisting of neoliberal discourses and practices, which construct the breast cancer experience. We take a feminist post-structuralist approach to review current breast cancer lay materials available to women in Australia, to examine how breast cancer is discursively constructed within this context. Further, we consider how women with breast cancer are positioned and what the implications are for women’s lives. We discuss neoliberal discourses of ‘individual responsibility and empowerment’ and ‘optimism’, and the central practices that focus on individual health behaviours and survivorship. This illness culture has productive and restrictive effects for women’s subjectivity. Whilst women are positioned as ‘empowered’ regarding their health, this comes at the price of self-regulation and responsibility. Support and information additionally reposition women in feminine, heteronormative ways, whilst excluding women who do not fit narrow cultural stereotypes.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explain the benefits of charitable sport events and examines how consumer involvement in the cause, attitude toward the event, and event-sponsor fit influence corporate image (CI) and corresponding purchase intention (PI). Design/methodology/approach – The conceptual model developed in this research consolidates various constructs related to sponsors and events into a single comprehensive framework, thus offering an integrated view of the factors that determine consumers’ perceptions of a sponsorship and their attitudes toward a sponsor. Data were collected from participants in the Pink Ribbon Love Marathons (PRLM) held in Seoul, South Korea. A total of 650 female subjects (mean age=41.2, SD=12.5) participated in this investigation. Findings – The findings indicate that CI plays a significant role as a partial mediator within a reciprocal relationship between participants’ event perception and patronage intention. Sponsoring a well-targeted event might have a positive impact on CI and PI. Originality/value – What makes this study unique is the application of previous research examining cause-related sport sponsorship from a sport participant’s perspective. From a practical standpoint, the findings of this study reveal the importance of corporate communication in CSR.

Abstract:

141 Background: The Pink Ribbon Survivors Network created a virtual library, The Curriculum for Recovery Library, as part of its online resources for breast cancer survivors and the health care providers who care for them. The website's library became available on July 11, 2012. 199 articles are organized into 19 categories within the library. Within each category, article titles are directly linked to their online text. The library is hosted on the organization's website: www.PinkRibbonSurvivorsNetwork.org. Methods: Through the website's administrative site, we tracked and reviewed the number of visits to each of the 19 categories's content in The Curriculum for Recovery Library between July 11, 2012 and April 21, 2013. Results: The five following categories were most were accessed by our viewership, in descending order: " Fatigue," "Doubt and Hope," "Your Survivorship Document," "Diet/Exercise/Selfcare," and "Leaving a Legacy." The tally has been determined by review of the first 2,800 viewings of the website, during this 9 month period. Conclusions: When given free access to 19 categories relevant to survivorship, our data reveals that treatment related fatigue and doubt about a breast cancer survivor's future are the most sought after categories among our viewership population. This data will help to prioritize research and resources for breast cancer survivors in the future.

Abstract:

329 Background: The authors identified a need to provide three online tools for the benefit of breast cancer survivors and health care providers: 1) An online collection of relevant publications from all cancer specialties regarding breast cancer survivorship housed in one virtual library. 2) An online collection of guidelines and relevant publications as a resource for primary care providers to access clinical information on medical care and psychosocial issues regarding breast cancer survivorship. 3) An online collection of resources, organizations, and supportive programs and selected readings for breast cancer survivors. These readings would be organized in a "Curriculum for Recovery" Library. We were motivated by the belief that, "all breast cancer survivors are underserved, if their healthcare providers are undereducated." Methods: Using the Joomla software system, a free, online website has been developed. This site houses the three virtual libraries, on separate landing pages, described above. Additional resources for breast cancer survivors are also housed on the website. Results: The Pink Ribbon Survivors Network now provides a resource of over 500 separate listings designed to educate and support breast cancer survivors, and health care professionals. The online professional libraries were created from abstracts available from medical journals and similar mainstream oncology publications. The libraries are continuously updated with new publications. These collective libraries will serve as unique breast cancer survivorship tools for women and their health care providers, for new publications, and for resources. Conclusions: This abstract establishes that a system using internet technology can provide virtual resources for breast cancer survivors, cancer specialists, and primary health care providers. This is now a functional online system for the 2.5 million breast cancer survivors and nearly 500,000 health care providers involved in the care of these survivors. The organization’s website is www.PinkRibbonSurvivorsNetwork.org.

Abstract:

Abstract Relapse acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is associated with chemotherapy resistance and poor prognosis. Persistent leukemia initiating cells with increased self-renewal capacity, clonal heterogeneity and selection of resistance-driving genetic alterations have been proposed as drivers of leukemia relapse. Gain of function mutations in the 5'-Nucleotidase, Cytosolic II (NT5C2) gene are selectively present in relapsed ALL and confer resistance to chemotherapy with 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP). Yet, the specific mechanisms mediating constitutive activation of NT5C2 remain unknown. Here we performed detailed genetic, enzymatic, structural and functional analyses of relapsed leukemia-associated NT5C2 mutant alleles uncovering previously unrecognized functional heterogeneity in their mechanisms of action. Specifically, detailed nucleotidase assays in the presence of increased concentration of allosteric activators across 10 relapse-associated NT5C2 mutant proteins and analyses of the crystal structures of 7 distinct mutant proteins and wild type NT5C2 in the presence and absence of allosteric factors defined three classes of NT5C2 mutants with distinct mechanisms of action. Class I NT5C2 mutations force an active configuration of the NT5C2 catalytic center in the absence of allosteric activator. In contrast, class II NT5C2 mutations disrupt a novel switch-off mechanism mediated by the dynamic mobilization of the tip region of the arm segment responsible for returning the enzyme to its basal inactive configuration following allosteric activation. Finally, increased allosteric response in the class III p.Gln523* truncating mutation results from loss of the C-terminal acidic tail of NT5C2, which functions as a lock stabilizing the enzyme in its inactive basal configuration. The proposed role of the arm domain region and the C-terminal segment were verified in enzymatic assays incubating wild type NT5C2 with antibodies recognizing these regulatory elements, which phenocopied the increased enzymatic activity and response to allosteric effector of NT5C2 mutations involving these domains. In all, these results identify distinct molecular mechanisms mediating NT5C2 regulation targeted by activating NT5C2 mutant alleles and serve as a framework for the functional annotation of clinically-relevant NT5C2 mutations in relapsed ALL. Finally, the prominent role of the allosteric binding site as critical mediator of the mechanisms mediating thhe increased nucleotidase activity of NT5C2 mutant proteins point to this region as a preferred target for the design of NT5C2 inhibitors for the reversal of chemotherapy resistance in relapsed ALL.

Abstract:

Breast cancer is a major disease in Nigeria; in 2012, 27,304 new occurrences were diagnosed, and the number of mortalities was 13,960. Greater than 70% of patients present with advanced disease, which has a poor survival outcome. The mortality rates are high mainly because of a lack of awareness about breast health, screening guidelines, and treatment centers, and because of sociocultural barriers. In Nigeria, health care professionals remain the backbone for the provision of medical information to the public. This is a study of the innovative ways that breast health and cancer awareness were promoted across communities and institutions in Lagos State, Nigeria, in 2015. Several community awareness campaigns were carried out in the forms of health talks, breast cancer screenings, radio and television interviews, and campaigns on social media. Anomalies noticed during the screenings were promptly referred to appropriate hospitals for additional treatment. The campaign culminated in the #12KLLP, or 12,000 people light Lagos pink, which was a Guinness World Record attempt for the largest human awareness ribbon formed for breast cancer. There was a total reach of 28,774,812 people across platforms: 285,318 were on social media, 3,620 were in communities, 7,466,276 were on the website, 20 million were through media events, 12,000 were through publications, 7,598 were verified participants at the Guinness World Record, and approximately 1 million were through blogs. Eighty partnerships were made with various private and government institutions to facilitate different aspects of the campaign. The community members were able to learn about the need for early detection and awareness; volunteerism and corporate social responsibility were promoted among individuals and corporate institutions.

Abstract:

Abstract 8 Background: Worldwide, 14.1 million new cancer cases and 8.2 million cancer-related deaths occur annually. Of global cancer deaths, 65% occur in low- and middle-income countries, where there are not enough medical specialists to provide prevention, screening, and treatment services. For example, there are 245 physicians per 100,000 people in the United States and four physicians per 100,000 people in Mozambique. We undertook this work to investigate how to increase clinical capacity and improve cancer prevention and treatment services to ultimately reduce cancer mortality in Mozambique. Methods: Our education program has three complementary components: Strong partnerships with four academic institutions in Brazil, the Ministry of Health of Mozambique, Maputo Central Hospital, and Mavalane Hospital (Maputo) to develop educational programs and collaborative research; use of technology to implement resource-specific and culturally appropriate telementoring programs; and in-country, hands-on training. Collaboration with Brazilian institutions facilitates communication and provides clinical expertise and program expansion opportunities. The telementoring component uses the Project ECHO model, a program that was developed at the University of New Mexico to engage providers in a horizontal manner through regular case-based discussions. Hands-on training complements the telementoring program and increases the level of expertise. Results: Since January 2015, 120 training hours have been provided through ECHO videoconferences to an average of 11 participants on breast, cervical, and head and neck cancers. Two in-country workshops have provided an average of 1,200 training hours to approximately 100 providers in diagnosis, secondary prevention, and surgical management of breast, cervical, and head and neck cancers, as well as training for medical oncology, oncology nursing, palliative care, and radiation physics. Conclusion: Collaborations with Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon, US academic institutions, and industry partners are being developed to strengthen these programs.

Abstract:

Background: Breast Cancer (BC) is common, with 1 in 8 U.S. women (12.4%) developing invasive breast cancer in their lifetime. BC is associated with the most awareness campaigns with pink ribbon as its symbol. October was earmarked as the breast cancer awareness month (CAM) in 1985. Cervical (CC) and ovarian cancers (OC) are associated with a high mortality as well and have awareness months dedicated to them. The aim of these awareness drives is to change public attitude and help in early detection and ultimately prevention of various cancers. Internet search activity can be used as a method to gauge interest and awareness in the masses. We aimed to assess the popularity of BC compared to other gynecological cancers, including OC and CC. Methods: We compared the relative frequency of search terms “Breast Cancer,” “Ovarian Cancer,” and “Cervical Cancer” between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2017 (n=168 months) using Google Trends, a public web facility of Google Inc. The software designates a reference value of 100 for the point of highest popularity and it provides relative monthly popularity scores for all the terms, which we termed as comparative interest scores (CIS). Within each cancer, average CIS was then compared for their respective awareness months (n=14 months; October for BC, September for OC, and January for CC) to the remaining months (n=154 months). Results: The mean CIS for BC was significantly higher during its CAM, 70.5 as compared to other months 35.9; p<0.001. However, for CC mean CIS during January (7.4) was not different compared to the other months (7.4); P=1.00. And for OC, CIS was significantly higher during its CAM (9.2) compared to other months (7.7); P=.0002. The peak of highest popularity for breast cancer was observed during October 2004 and all peaks corresponded to the CAM; other smaller peaks were seen during significant news events associated with BC, all of which surpassed OC and CC in those months. Overall BC CIS were significantly higher compared to CC (P<.001) and OC (P<.001). Conclusions: We conclude that BC awareness campaigns have succeeded in increasing internet search activity during its CAM but ovarian and cervical cancer campaigns especially when compared to breast cancer have not been as successful. There is still a need to increase awareness among masses. Google trends data also tells us which states in US have more internet search activity compared to others which can be used to target the relatively unaware public.

Abstract:

The article provides data on the distribution of the invasive boxelder maple in the Altai Krai.  The article specifically considers its coenotic role in pine forests by the example of the Barnaul ribbon pine forest. A GIS project was developed to assess the distribution of boxelder maple in Altai krai. Mapping was based on the species location data obtained from the herbarium material (more than 500 sheets of the herbarium) deposited to the Altai State University (ALTB), the N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Plant Research Institute (WIR) and the V.L. Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (LE). To map the boxelder maple distribution, an analysis of the forest stand maps of the Barnaul ribbon pine forest was also carried out (2010, 2018). For each maple location, the stratum, the stratum area, and the stand formula are taken into account. Over the ten-year observation period, the area of maple and mixed forests with the participation of Acer negundo has increased almost 6 times here. Monodominant maple forests and mixed forests with the participation of boxelder maple as well as with other invasive species are formed. This leads to a considerable anthropogenic transformation of pine forests and a decrease in their environment-forming, social-economic and ecological significance. The study reveals that generative plants were not found in every coenopopulation. If the plants reached the reproductive stage, then, on the whole, males prevailed fivefold in the coenopopulation. Most of the studied coenopopulations consisted of pre-generative individuals, with the exception of occasional young generative ones. Most of the trees in the studied populations reached the age of 10–15 years. For forest communities of the Barnaul forestry, two age periods of the ontogenetic state have been established – pre-generative and generative, which indicates a relatively early age of the phytoinvasion and its active stage.

Abstract:

Cellulose nanofibers, extracted from wood pulps using the (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation method, are low-cost, sustainable and high-performance materials with potential usage in many applications. The structural information of these cellulose nanofibers in aqueous suspension was characterized by synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). A simplified ribbon model having a near rectangular cross section was found to give the best fit to the SAXS results. The analytical expression of the ribbon model also led to a higher calculation efficiency compared with the more conventional parallelepiped model. The extracted structural information included the cross-section size and size distribution of the cellulose nanofibers. For example, for nanofibers prepared from the dried pulp of the maritime pine, the size-weighted averages of thickness and width were 3.2 and 12.7 nm, respectively, and the corresponding standard deviations were 2.2 and 5.5 nm, respectively. The scattering results of the size-weighted average of the nanofiber width are also consistent with those determined directly from transmission electron microscopy.

Abstract:

Abstract De Quincey's conception of the literature of "power" as opposed to that of "knowledge," has proved to be one of the most influential of romantic theories of literature, playing no small part in the canonization of Wordsworth. De Quincey's early acquaintance with the Lyrical Ballads was made through the Evangelical circles of his mother, who was a follower of Hannah More and a member of the Clapham sect. In later years, however, De Quincey repudiated his early Evangelical upbringing and wrote quite scathingly of the literary pretensions of Hannah More. This paper attempts to uncover the revisionary nature of De Quincey's later reminiscences of More and to indicate thereby the covert influence of Evangelical thinking on his literary theorizing. Far from absolving literature of politics, however, colonialist and nationalist imperatives typical of Evangelical thinking may be seen to operate within the spiritualized and aesthetic sphere to which literary power is arrogated by De Quincey.
