No full textAbstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
Traditional occupation-based interventions plus electrophysical agents (EPAs) can enhance functional outcomes while containing costs. This study demonstrates that EPAs can significantly improve the client factors and performance skills necessary for obtaining wellness in human occupation.

Desenterrado os mortos: A reconstrução do passado político brasileiro na obra de Edney Silvestre
No full textEste artigo tem como objetivo analisar a trilogia de estreia de Edney Silvestre, composta por Se eu fechar os olhos agora (2009), A felicidade é fácil (2011), e Vidas provisórias (2013). Pretende-se fazer um breve balanço da contribuição do autor para a reabertura de um debate sobre o recente passado histórico-político brasileiro, e, relacionando os fatos abordados no romance com temas contemporâneos, ressaltar a relevância e a atualidade desse debate. Para isso, os textos serão analisados cronologicamente, o que visa mostrar o desenvolvimento do tratamento do sujeito histórico no conjunto de obras do autor. This paper aims to analyse Edney Silvestre’s trilogy composed by If I close my eyes now (2009), Happiness is easy (2011), and Temporary lives (2013), as well as to review the author’s contribution in reopening a debate on Brazilian’s recent historical and political past. By pointing out the relationship between the facts mentioned in thenovels and contemporary Brazil, it aims to stress the importance and up-to-dateness of this discussion. In order to achieve these goals, the novels will be analysed chronologically, which also intends to reveal the development of the way the author deals with Brazilian history throughout his oeuvre

American Legion Junior Cloggers
No full textThis 1965 photograph shows the American Legion Junior Cloggers of Hendersonville, North Carolina. The children are listed from left to right: (first row) Susie Thompson, Jeanette Hudgins, Judy Kilpatrick, Sharon Edney, Gail Edney, Jonie Edney, Juanita Thompson, Donna Griffin ; (second row) Steve Corn, Eddie Hudgins, Terry Brock, Jimmy Stepp, Pat Lanning, Wayne Edney ; (third row) Jimmy Jones, Jimmy Sinclair, Pat Corn, and Ronnie Thompson. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University
Interaction of isentropic compression waves with a bow shock
No full textThe interaction of isentropic compression waves with a bow shock is numerically investigated. The relative intersection region size is introduced to characterize the convergence degree of isentropic compression waves. Among the multiple parameters involved, relative intersection region size is a crucial factor in determining the occurrence of the interference patterns, as well as the corresponding pressure and thermal loads. There exist two critical relative intersection region sizes: the small one corresponds to the intersection region size being approximately equal to the transmitted shock length in the case of Edney type IV interference, and the large one corresponds to the intersection region size being close to the transmitted shock length in the case of Edney type III interference. When relative intersection region size is lower than the small critical value, Edney interference patterns take place but their types depend on the vertical intersection location. When relative intersection region size is greater than the large critical value, none of the Edney interference patterns occurs. When relative intersection region size falls in between the two
critical values, part of Edney interference patterns occur and a subsonic jet is produced by the intersection of isentropic compression waves with the strong portion of the bow shock. The maximum interference heating reduces with relative intersection region size. Additionally, a dimensionless dependence of the maximum heat transfer intensification was inferred for practical design and calculations
Trends and gaps in precision health research: a scoping review
No full textObjective To determine progress and gaps in global precision health research, examining whether precision health studies integrate multiple types of information for health promotion or restoration.Design Scoping review.Data sources Searches in Medline (OVID), PsycINFO (OVID), Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and grey literature (Google Scholar) were carried out in June 2020.Eligibility criteria Studies should describe original precision health research; involve human participants, datasets or samples; and collect health-related information. Reviews, editorial articles, conference abstracts or posters, dissertations and articles not published in English were excluded.Data extraction and synthesis The following data were extracted in independent duplicate: author details, study objectives, technology developed, study design, health conditions addressed, precision health focus, data collected for personalisation, participant characteristics and sentence defining ‘precision health’. Quantitative and qualitative data were summarised narratively in text and presented in tables and graphs.Results After screening 8053 articles, 225 studies were reviewed. Almost half (105/225, 46.7%) of the studies focused on developing an intervention, primarily digital health promotion tools (80/225, 35.6%). Only 28.9% (65/225) of the studies used at least four types of participant data for tailoring, with personalisation usually based on behavioural (108/225, 48%), sociodemographic (100/225, 44.4%) and/or clinical (98/225, 43.6%) information. Participant median age was 48 years old (IQR 28–61), and the top three health conditions addressed were metabolic disorders (35/225, 15.6%), cardiovascular disease (29/225, 12.9%) and cancer (26/225, 11.6%). Only 68% of the studies (153/225) reported participants’ gender, 38.7% (87/225) provided participants’ race/ethnicity, and 20.4% (46/225) included people from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds. More than 57% of the articles (130/225) have authors from only one discipline.Conclusions Although there is a growing number of precision health studies that test or develop interventions, there is a significant gap in the integration of multiple data types, systematic intervention assessment using randomised controlled trials and reporting of participant gender and ethnicity. Greater interdisciplinary collaboration is needed to gather multiple data types; collectively analyse big and complex data; and provide interventions that restore, maintain and/or promote good health for all, from birth to old age
A contemporary study with early school leavers: Pathways and social processes of leaving high school
No full textA contemporary study with early school leavers: pathways and social processes of leaving high school
No full textThis article provides an account and discussion of research processes used in a contemporary study of early school leaving in Ontario, Canada. The Ontario Early School Leavers Study was conducted in conversation with 193 young people who left school prior to graduating, their educators and parents. The study was informed by a review of international literatures which point to the need for innovative social approaches and youth-attuned methodologies in the study of early school leaving. We present our research processes as informed by this literature and then present new analyses that illustrate critical social processes in early school leaving. The findings present unique data to show three pathways to early leaving and a constellation of risk and protective situations encountered by these young people along the way. Risk situations included the daily social workings of poverty, low socioeconomic status, the need to take on early adult roles, “place”, academic and social disengagement, negative relations with families and/or school personnel, and inflexible or unsupportive school structures. Protective situations were encountered in supportive families; from parents and teachers; in schools that were caring, flexible, and proactive; and in processes of self determination. The perspectives of the young people are discussed in relation to the international literature and the perspectives of 71 parents and educators who participated in the study. Impacts on practices in secondary schools suggest that early school leaving be recognized and treated as a heterogeneous, complex social process occurring at and across the nexus of families, schools, youth cultures and communities
