The impact of pregnancy on peak flow values in women with asthma
No full textAsthma is the most common respiratory complication of pregnancy and affects approximately four per cent of all pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to establish normative data regarding how peak flow values change during gestation in pregnant women with asthma. Eighteen pregnant women with asthma were recruited and completed dally logs throughout their pregnancies. The findings suggest there is a difference in peak flow values in different trimesters. Specifically peak flow values were highest in the second trimester with significant differences between the second and third trimesters. While the sample size is small it does provide longitudinal data that suggest changes in asthma as the pregnancy progresses. This study represents a logical next step in identifying the impact of pregnancy on asthma.Peer reviewe
Peak Flow Values by Gestation in Women with Asthma
No full textAsthma is one of the most common medical complications of pregnancy. Control of asthma is associated with improved perinatal outcomes compared with pregnancies of women whose asthma is not controlled. Peak flow measures have been recommended to determine the status of asthma yet norms for peak flow values in women with asthma are missing from the literature. The purpose of this prospective, longitudinal study was to determine average peak flow values in pregnant women with asthma. Forty three women were recruited into the study prior to the twentieth week of pregnancy. Demographic data including age, ethnic background, and number of pregnancies were collected. Type and severity of asthma, medications used for asthma, and past hospitalizations for asthma was recorded. Peak flow values increased across the three trimesters. Significant differences were found in peak flow values between the first and third trimesters (>0.001) and the second and third trimesters (>0.007). Findings from the present study contradict those of studies on pregnant women without asthma. Since hormonal levels change during pregnancy and hormones are thought to influence the status of asthma, the interaction of hormonal changes of pregnancy and asthma warrant further study.Peer reviewe

Family Picture
No full text"Even life in the circle of Beckmann's family yielded no relief from anxiety. In Family Picture six disparate people are compressed into a small, crowded, low-ceilinged room. The artist himself, clutching a horn and wearing bright yellow shoes, lies on a narrow piano bench. Next to him stands his wife, whose grey face is reflected in an oval mirror and whose state of undress reminds one immediately of the bound woman in The Night. Frau Tude, Beckmann's mother-in-law, is seated at the table, hiding her face in her large hand. A sister-in-law stares out into the room, while a servant reads the newspaper at right. Peter Beckmann, the son, is stretched out on the floor, and a mysterious, small, crowned figure enters the space on the left from behind the piano. This personage- possibly related to the mysterious king in the central panel of Departure, painted some twelve years later- functions into Beckmann's iconography as a symbol of the painter himself...Beckmann was living apart from his family when this was painted." -- From Selz, Peter Howard, 1919- Max Beckmann / New York : Abbeville Press, 1996.

Faculty Perception of Bullying in Schools of Nursing
No full textAims: This paper is a report of a study of conducted to determine the prevalence of bullying among faculty members in Schools or Colleges of Nursing.
Background: The issue of bullying of nursing faculty in the academic setting is of interest in terms of recruitment, retention, job satisfaction, and the overall quality of the work environment.
Method: This cross-sectional, descriptive study of faculty in three northeastern states of the U.S. was carried out in 2010. The Negative Acts Questionnaire-Revised was used to survey faculty members in Schools of Nursing who award a baccalaureate degree (or higher) in nursing.
Results: 473 faculty members met the inclusion criteria and responded to the NAQ-R. An iterative exploratory principal components analysis with orthogonal rotation was performed. Thirteen of the original 22 items were retained to measure the experiences of negative acts in the nursing faculty workplaces. The mean total score for the 13 item instrument was 17.90 (SD 6.07) and ranged from 13 to 56. The resulting components structure produced three clear subscales identifying the experiences of: Verbal abuse, Physical abuse, and Devaluing. The revised 13 item instrument had a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.88. Experiences of bullying were reported in 169 of the 473 (36%) respondents. A significant correlation was found between meeting frequency and the report of bullying (r = 0.18, p ≤ 0.001). Administrators and senior faculty were more likely than expected to be the perpetrators of bullying.
Discussion: If the leaders are identified as bullies, the environment cannot be perceived as supportive and healthy. These unhealthy environments may have serious consequences related to retaining nursing faculty.Peer reviewe

Clear Cut Lines:Reconsidering Max Beckmann\u27s Influences
No full textMax Beckmann came of age when the art world was rapidly changing in the early twentieth century. Beckmann did not fall into any one artistic movement and was often at odds with his contemporaries. Because of these factors it is difficult to discuss his influences without hyper-focusing on just one influence as a way to explain his artistic progression and style. The scholarship has tended to place specific chronological frames around parts of Beckmann\u27s work and focus on just one influence in isolation. Beckmann\u27s influences need to be viewed in a more holistic continuous fashion. This thesis examines the most significant influences on Beckmann\u27s art and considers how they operated as a continuum. Beckmann\u27s engagement with past art, his relationship to his contemporaries, and World War I all played an important role and impacted his art. Beckmann drew from many influences to create his art. Chapter one reconsiders the influence of past art which scholars have isolated and associated with particular periods in his career. Chapter two examines Beckmann\u27s complicated relationship with modern art movements. At first he resisted the art of his contemporaries, but eventually gained his greatest success when he allowed himself to be aligned with contemporary trends. Chapter three examines the impact World War I had on Beckmann\u27s work and how it provided a powerful visual stimulus for a man who already had a proclivity for representing disasters. My thesis will build upon current scholarship by breaking down the compartmentalization that has dominated Beckmann scholarship. By placing equal emphasis on the influences of past and contemporary artistic movements as well as World War I and the socio-historical situation, I will shown that Beckmann drew upon a wide range of influences in forging his individual artistic style and pursuing his goal of capturing human suffering. Therefore, to place undue emphasis on just one influence does Beckmann\u27s art and goals a great disservice
