Get PDFSocial Justice and Rituals of Forgiveness and Reconciliation: Perspectives from African Religion and Roman Catholic Christianity
Get PDFThis essay intentionally seeks ways that some insights and rituals of forgiveness of sin in African Religion can enrich the theology and sacramental celebrations of the sacrament of penance and reconciliation in the Roman Catholic Church. A case is made for the celebration of this sacrament to represent the cultural contexts of each local church in ways that heighten their appreciation for it
Is a Perfect God Worthy of Our Praise?
Get PDFThis project examines the Judeo-Christian notion of God’s essential perfection as a problem for God’s praiseworthiness. Granted that God cannot commit any action less perfect than what God performs, God seems to lack the freedom to be responsible and is thus rendered ineligible for praise. In exploring another kind of responsibility, I argue that an essentially perfect God can be considered responsible in another sense, which may warrant at least one form of praise-practice: a praise that simply acknowledges expression of the Good

Get PDFUse of the alphabet strategy to improve Diabetes care at a free chronic care clinic
Get PDFEfficacious diabetes management in a free clinic setting is a challenging, costly, and labor-intensive process that requires established proficiencies to achieve American Diabetes Association (ADA) clinical guidelines. An electronic health record (EHR) template was created that includes a pneumonic based on the Alphabet Strategy to prompt providers to use the current diabetes clinical practice management guidelines. The alphabet strategy pneumonic is evidence-based for use in underserved populations and includes seven components based on the American Diabetes Association diabetic clinical practice guidelines: advice; blood pressure, cholesterol/creatinine; diabetes control; eye exam; foot exam; and guardian drugs. The implementation is based on the Chronic Care Model that aids individuals with chronic diseases to provide self-care, improves interactions between patient and provider, and facilitates data collection to improve care across community health systems, clinical practice, and the patient. Project outcomes measured include formal and informal assessment of provider template use, and feedback on the implementation process with descriptive and qualitative data analysis. The alphabet strategy EHR template showed improvement in cholesterol screening, creatinine screening, diabetic eye exam, and the foot exam including pulses and deep tendon reflexes. Overall the EHR template did not show significant improvement in the documentation of the seven facets, it did allow for a summarization of the core components of quality diabetic care. The Covid-19 pandemic caused significant barriers and contributed to less comprehensive diabetic visits

Indian Health Services - Warm Springs Simnasho Lagoon Expansion
No full textThe Indian Health Services capstone team worked to come up with feasible alternatives to address a failing treatment pond system located in Simnasho, a reservation in Warm Springs, Oregon. The southwest corner of the pond began overflowing and flooding the adjacent land prior to June 3rd, 2019. In order to address this problem, the team conducted site visits, calculated future flows and organic loadings, determined existing volumes and areas of the pond, conducted a flow balance, developed feasible alternatives, and performed a preliminary cost analysis of the alternatives.https://pilotscholars.up.edu/egr_project/1056/thumbnail.jp
