What's It Worth - The Patient-Litigant Exception Whittles Away at the Physician-Patient and Mental Health Information Privileges: R.K., M.D. v. Ramirez
The author examines the implications of the R.K., M.D. v. Ramirez case on the confidentiality of physician-patient and mental health information. The article discusses the patient-litigant exception, which allows for the disclosure of privileged information when a patient initiates legal action, potentially undermining the foundational principles of medical confidentiality. The article critiques the court's reasoning and the broader impact of this exception on patient trust and the therapeutic relationship. Through an analysis of legal precedents and ethical considerations, the article highlights the tension between legal rights and patient privacy. Ultimately, the author calls for a reevaluation of the exception to better protect sensitive health information in the context of litigation
An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Music Therapy Clinical Supervision Process
The aim of this Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) study was to explore the process of clinical supervision for music therapy practicum from the perspective of the supervisor. Supervised clinical training in music therapy is required of student music therapists as part of their academic and clinical training prior to being qualified to take the board-certification exam. While music therapy supervision has been studied from different vantage points, the literature appears limited regarding the perspective of the supervisor in that process. With IPA as the methodology of the current study, the author conducted semi-structured interviews to investigate six supervisors’ lived experiences and sense-making process of the process of clinical supervision. Twelve superordinate themes emerged as a result of data analysis, suggesting that supervisors’ past experiences were impactful for their own growth in making effective decisions regarding supervisory models/approaches, techniques and formats. Supervisees’ behavior, personality characteristics and clinical potential were factors that impacted the supervisor’s perception of the supervisory process and supervisory relationship established on personal perspectives
Reduced Order Model-Based Prediction of the Nonlinear Geometric Response of a Panel Under Thermal, Aerodynamic, and Acoustic Loads
abstract: This paper addresses some aspects of the development of fully coupled thermal-structural reduced order modeling of planned hypersonic vehicles. A general framework for the construction of the structural and thermal basis is presented and demonstrated on a representative panel considered in prior investigations. The thermal reduced order model is first developed using basis functions derived from appropriate conduction eigenvalue problems. The modal amplitudes are the solution of the governing equation, which is nonlinear due to the presence of radiation and temperature dependent capacitance and conductance matrices, and the predicted displacement field is validated using published data. A structural reduced order model was developed by first selecting normal modes of the system and then constructing associated dual modes for the capturing of nonlinear inplane displacements. This isothermal model was validated by comparison with full finite element results (Nastran) in static and dynamic loading environments. The coupling of this nonlinear structural reduced order model with the thermal reduced order model is next considered. Displacement-induced thermal modes are constructed in order to account for the effect that structural deflections will have on the thermal problem. This coupling also requires the enrichment of the structural basis to model the elastic deformations that may be produced consistently with the thermal reduced order model. The validation of the combined structural-thermal reduced order model is carried out with pure mechanical loads, pure thermal loads, and combined mechanical-thermal excitations. Such comparisons are performed here on static solutions with temperature increases up to 2200F and pressures up to 3 psi for which the maximum displacements are of the order of 3 thicknesses. The reduced order model predicted results agree well with the full order finite element predictions in all of these various cases. A fully coupled analysis was performed in which the solution of the structural-thermal-aerodynamic reduced order model was carried out for 300 seconds and validated against a full order model. Finally, a reduced order model of a thin, aluminum beam is extended to include linear variations with local temperature of the elasticity tensor and coefficients of thermal expansion.Dissertation/ThesisDoctoral Dissertation Aerospace Engineering 201
Optimal four-dimensional codes over GF(8
We prove the nonexistence of several four-dimensional codes over GF(8) that meet the Griesmer bound. The proofs use geometric methods based on the analysis of the weight structure of subcodes. The specific parameters of the codes rule
Occupational Therapy\u27s Role in Increasing ASL (American Sign Language) Intelligibility in Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students
Over the years, the occupational therapy profession has worked diligently to provide holistic treatment to all populations throughout the lifespan; however, gaps in practice do exist. One gap that was identified, by this paper\u27s author, involves the Deaf and hard of hearing (D/hh) student population. In American Sign Language (ASL), there are twenty-two different handshapes that make up the twenty-six letters of the alphabet, all of which must be formed through the use of fine motor movements of the wrist, forearm, and digits. In typically developing children, these fine motor movements that ASL production requires are not challenging, but they do pose a challenge for those who have experienced atypical development, such as the D/hh population. It is well documented that there is a high occurrence of motor delay in those who are Deaf or hard of hearing (Kamel et. al., 2021 ); however, there is no available research surrounding occupational therapy services for improving signed language skills in this population, specifically research that relates to fine motor skill development for improved ASL intelligibility. The importance of intervention in this population not only surrounds the lack of available research for fine motor skills or the well-documented occurrence of motor delays for this population but also the potential effects of not providing intervention because of the effects of poor language intelligibility. For example, the inability to utilize language has been correlated with higher emotional and mental health challenges, low self esteem, peer rejection, higher rates of suspension, increased depression, and lack of language accessibility in the home and community in adolescents and children (Hall et al., 2017). The purpose of this paper is to improve and encourage conversation surrounding this population\u27s unique needs and providing evidence on the importance of intervention within this population, as it relates to ASL intelligibility, while also indicating an untapped and undocumented area of practice that is well within the occupational therapy scope of practice
Thermoelastodynamic Responses of Panels Through Reduced Order Modeling: Oscillating Flux and Temperature Dependent Properties
abstract: This thesis focuses on the continued extension, validation, and application of combined thermal-structural reduced order models for nonlinear geometric problems. The first part of the thesis focuses on the determination of the temperature distribution and structural response induced by an oscillating flux on the top surface of a flat panel. This flux is introduced here as a simplified representation of the thermal effects of an oscillating shock on a panel of a supersonic/hypersonic vehicle. Accordingly, a random acoustic excitation is also considered to act on the panel and the level of the thermo-acoustic excitation is assumed to be large enough to induce a nonlinear geometric response of the panel. Both temperature distribution and structural response are determined using recently proposed reduced order models and a complete one way, thermal-structural, coupling is enforced. A steady-state analysis of the thermal problem is first carried out that is then utilized in the structural reduced order model governing equations with and without the acoustic excitation. A detailed validation of the reduced order models is carried out by comparison with a few full finite element (Nastran) computations. The computational expedience of the reduced order models allows a detailed parametric study of the response as a function of the frequency of the oscillating flux. The nature of the corresponding structural ROM equations is seen to be of a Mathieu-type with Duffing nonlinearity (originating from the nonlinear geometric effects) with external harmonic excitation (associated with the thermal moments terms on the panel). A dominant resonance is observed and explained. The second part of the thesis is focused on extending the formulation of the combined thermal-structural reduced order modeling method to include temperature dependent structural properties, more specifically of the elasticity tensor and the coefficient of thermal expansion. These properties were assumed to vary linearly with local temperature and it was found that the linear stiffness coefficients and the "thermal moment" terms then are cubic functions of the temperature generalized coordinates while the quadratic and cubic stiffness coefficients were only linear functions of these coordinates. A first validation of this reduced order modeling strategy was successfully carried out.Dissertation/ThesisM.S. Aerospace Engineering 201

Assessing academic and personal outcomes for men engaged in the Sigma phi Epsilon residential learning community
The presence of fraternities on college campuses is a topic of controversy among various higher education stakeholders. While fraternity membership has been found to be positively associated with college persistence (Biddix, Matney, Norman, & Martin, 2014; Routon & Walker, 2014), other associations related to academic performance and social behavior are not as positive (Brint & Cantwell, 2008; Whipple & Sullivan, 1998). Though an obvious and longstanding presence on over 800 American campuses, these organizations have been called into question regarding their contributions to the collegiate experience. As a result, the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) and some of its member organizations have developed programs designed to address issues of concern. The purpose of this quantitative study was to evaluate a residential learning community (RLC) program that was developed by a national fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon (Sig Ep). Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity recognizes both RLC and non-RLC chapters. The research questions guiding this study were: (a) do men living in a fraternity house that employs the Sig Ep RLC program report higher levels of social and academic engagement compared to fraternity members in a chapter that does not participate in this program, and (b) are the grade point averages of men in the Sig Ep RLC higher than those of men whose chapter are not designated as a RLC? The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) was completed by 761 undergraduate members of Sig Ep fraternity within 140 chapters. All class years participated in approximately equal percentages. A total of 32% (n = 245) were from a RLC chapter and 68% (n = 516) were from non-RLC chapters. A series of t-tests identified that while grade point averages were positively associated with involvement in an RLC, involvement with faculty and co-curricular opportunities were higher for non-RLC men. Further research is needed to clarify the relationship between student engagement and GPA for students in RLC and non-RLC chapters prior to implementing the Sig Ep RLC program on a wide-scale basis.Ed.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Thea Zunic
