Lower Extremity Compression Bandaging: A Treatment Option for Edema in Certain Clients with Heart Failure
Get PDFThe collaborating practitioner for this evidence project, Lauren Brown, OTRJL, works in an inpatient acute care setting in the Colorado University hospital. The researchable (PICO) question for this evidence project was raised by the collaborating practitioner as, What is the evidence that using lower extremity multilayer compression bandaging is a safe and effective intervention for clients with heart failure in acute care to decrease lower extremity edema or lessen the impact of venous ulcers? The evidence appraisal process found that lower extremity compression is safe for clients with stable heart failure, and may be safe for clients with severe heart failure given close monitoring and consideration of individual client factors. The knowledge translation process for this project consisted of the compilation of key findings and implications into the form of an informative handout. This handout was accompanied by a knowledge translation survey aimed to measure the respondents\u27 levels of knowledge and support regarding the use of the intervention both before and after reading the handout. The intended respondents were healthcare professionals in the collaborating practitioner\u27s setting, including occupational therapists, rehabilitation personnel, nurses, and physicians. Survey data showed a statistically significant increase in the level of knowledge surrounding the use of the intervention within the client population. Recommendations for future follow-on projects include further experimental research on lower extremity compression for edema in clients with severe heart failure as well as the use of this evidence project as a starting point for the creation of an official protocol in the collaborating practitioner\u27s setting

At the Intersection of Sports, Hip Hop, Race, & Masculinity: How has Black Masculinity Connected Sports and Hip Hop Culture? How has This Connection Highlighted the Objectification, Commodification, and the Exploitation of Black Athletes and Hip Hop?
No full textWith the introduction and expansion of hip-hop scholarship over the past 30 years, hip-hop scholars have continued to connect the culture with various institutions across the United States and the rest of the world. And while hip-hop culture and sports have shared a connection for the past 25 and more years, the relationship between Black athletes and musicians is much deeper and much further rooted than that . Hip-hop is a culture that created an artistic identity for African Americans that represented free expressionism, bravado, and competition. As the culture has expanded, so has its content, imagery, and influence. For the past three decades, the influence of hip-hop has made its way to mainstream American sports through fashion (jerseys, shoes, accessories, etc.), playing style (individualistic, flashy, aggressive), and player attitudes/interactions (trash talk, aggressiveness, celebrations). Players such as Allen Iverson and Michael Vick who embodied what it meant to be a hip-hop athlete, were seen by their respective sports industries as thugs, gang members, and other negative portrayals of Black masculinity. All of these depictions but yet mainstream sports have capitalized off of Black athletes and their unique perspectives of fashion, music, and attitude. In order to understand modern athletes and modern Black athletes specifically, we must understand the connection and the influence that hip-hop culture has on sports. I hope that this research provides myself and other some background knowledge on the construction of Black masculinity that is defined by hip-hop and how it has transferred to sports
Her World Changed: Anna Louise Strong and The 1916 Everett Massacre
Get PDFThe 1970s saw a resurgence in the scholarship on Anna Louise Strong’s life, especially in feminist circles. In general, historians pre-1970 doubted the authenticity of Strong’s political radicalism and criticized the inconsistency in her participation. Neis’ scholarship represents the largely uncritical second-wave feminist interest in Strong’s life following her death in 1970. The scholarship on Strong’s life falls into three categories: the old guard, the feminist renaissance, and twenty-first-century perspectives. Since 2000, a more nuanced interpretation of Strong’s life incorporated elements of the old guard and feminist discussions. Anna Louise Strong’s introduction to activism began in her childhood as the daughter of a liberal preacher and early adopters of abolition theology. After receiving her undergraduate degree from Oberlin, Anna Louise Strong presented her Ph.D. at the University of Chicago. Most of the primary sources are of Strong’s writings, including her 1935 autobiography I Change Worlds: The Remaking of an American. Strong’s faithful support of the Wobblies and more radical causes did not manifest all at once. After Strong’s testimony at Wobbly Hulet Wells’ trial in the fall of 1917, a recall movement against her gathered new momentum. Strong’s documentation of the events of the Everett Massacre of 1916 and the trials of I.W.W. trial cemented her status as a radical among the Seattle business elite
Life Insurance Access and Financial Resilience: Fostering Sustainable and Inclusive Growth in Latin America
Get PDFExisting literature has documented an increasing focus on financial resilience to better address the issue of multidimensional poverty in developing regions. The move to financial resilience is a part of a long process that has examined the relationship between poverty and financial access. Yet because financial resilience is a relatively new topic, the specifics of how financial resilience can be fostered using specific financial products has yet to be substantiated. Thus, this study offers an examination of the relationship between life insurance access and financial resilience in a sample of 16 middle-income Latin American countries, the first study of its kind. The objective of the research is to analyze the contribution of life insurance on supporting the development of financial resilience to strengthen the emergent middle-class to continue sustainable and inclusive growth in middle-income Latin America. This study reveals that life insurance access contributes positively and significantly to increasing financial resilience in middle-income Latin America with potentially significant effects on middle class resilience and sustained poverty alleviation
Racism in the College Boardroom? A Personal Narrative and Case Study
Get PDFThis paper explores the intersection of ethnicity, race, class, and unwritten but ingrained university policy through use of an anonymized personal narrative and case study. Intersectionality, as initially suggested by Lorde and later described by Crenshaw, provided the theoretical framework from which to explore this case. Development of the case was guided by four elements deemed as vital to effective case narratives: context, complexity, ambiguity, and relevance. The discussion focuses on the key question of the extent to which this was a case of racism, or if other factors might have accounted for the experience. The paper’s intent is to draw attention to often veiled yet problematic and discriminatory behavior in academic leadership
