No full textLid massage and symptoms of dryness in soft contact lens wearers
No full textWe have compared the efficacy of an in-eye lubricant and lid massage (gently massaging the surface of the lens through the upper lid) in a group of 13 soft lens wearers who regularly suffer from symptoms of dryness. Subjects used each technique for 1 week in a crossover study and recorded in a diary the symptoms experienced, duration of relief from symptoms, and improvement in vision, and, at the end of the study, they made a choice of preferred technique. Most subjects found longest relief from symptoms following use of the in-eye lubricant; however, the majority preferred to continue using the lid-massage technique alone or in combination with the in-eye lubricant. At a follow-up 1 year later, the majority of subjects continued to use lid massage to relieve dryness symptoms. We suggest that lid massage can provide a useful supplementary technique for many soft contact lens wearers who experience symptoms of dryness. \ud

The classification of the Compositae: A tribute to Vicki Ann Funk (1947–2019)
No full textThe classification of the family Compositae (Asteraceae) has been much improved in the last decades by the application of molecular methods culminating in the recompilation published in 2009, Systematics, evolution, and biogeography of Compositae. Additional evidence of relationships has come from the use of high-throughput sequencing methods. Our late colleague Vicki Ann Funk (1947–2019) was a pioneer in this line of research. Together with her team, she contributed to the achievement of a mature classification of the family, which she left outlined. In this paper, we contribute this classification including all of the recent advances at the subtribal level and review in depth all contributions to Compositae classification made since the 2009 compilation.Abstract

Generational clashpoints in nursing preceptorship.
No full textThe success of the preceptorship approach to teaching-learning depends on the formation of positive working relationships. Preceptors and nursing students are frequently of different generations and often have differing world-views. A phenomenological study, guided by van Manen's approach, was conducted to develop an understanding of how generational differences influence the formation of the preceptor-student relationship and the overall success of the experience. Three main themes were revealed: being affirmed, being challenged, and being on a pedagogical journey. A key subtheme of being challenged was colliding generational worldviews; in this article, our purpose is to explore this particular subtheme. The data suggest that generational clashpoints are occurring during preceptorship experiences, and the implications of these are serious, particularly from a nursing recruitment and retention perspective. It is vital that proactive measures be taken to inspire the future generation of nurses, rather than stifling their spirit and assertiveness.journal articleresearch support, non-u.s. gov't2012 Oct2012 08 20importe

Sixty Years of Community: St. Olaf Catholic Parish in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 1952-2012
No full textThis paper will explore how the parish community of St. Olaf in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, established in 1952, reflects the Roman Catholic Church, specifically at the local, state, and national levels in the United States. It will also discuss the various changes that have occurred in the past 60 years of its history in terms of the various locations of worship for the members, the growth of the community outreach programs, and the effects of the Second Vatican Council. This ecumenical council was a meeting of Catholic bishops from around the whole that brought reform to the Catholic Church and affected the relationship of the Catholic Church to the world. The parish at St. Olaf has grown from having only 125 families in 1952 to over 1,000 families in 2012

It wages two central arguments. First, it argues for a revised understanding of English modernism’s place within literary history. According to a standard scholarly narrative, modernism became the dominant English literary force of the interwar period, reached its zenith, then tapered off after the Second World War. Though modernism’s literary prestige remained, and it was canonized in academia, it retreated from the actual literary scene, and the world of English post-war literature, according to this narrative, was one which eschewed formal experimentalism. This dissertation contributes to recent scholarship that troubles this history by identifying a cohort of writers, whom I call post-45 modernists, continuing to experiment and utilize modernist style in the decades after the war. Second, I argue that these post-45 modernists shared a broad anti-fascist and anti-authoritarian political commitment which manifests in the form and content of their works. Whereas a number of the most prominent pre-war modernists flirted with or embraced fascism and believed in the efficacy of art to revitalize a broken modern society, these post-45 artists tend to share an uncertainty about the efficacy of art, a concern for the way that language can be used to legitimize power or obscure violence, a skepticism of authority in all forms, and an interrogation of the ‘author’ in ‘authority.’ This dissertation is divided into four chapters, each one focusing on a different post-45 modernist: Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), Anna Kavan (1901-1968), George Lamming (1927-2022), and B. S. Johnson (1933-1973). These chapters show how these writers developed shared formal and thematic features, such as textual failure, distrust of authority and fear of resurgent fascism, emphasis on complicity, depictions of madness, and formal experimentation that mark these authors as modernist, while still distinguishing them from pre-war modernist practitioners. Additionally, these chapters trace how such features were themselves informed by their author’s anti-fascist and anti-authoritarian political commitments
Preceptorship: using an ethical lens to reflect on the unsafe student.
No full textPatient safety has become a worldwide health concern, and health care professionals have a moral and ethical responsibility to promote patient safety. The clinical education of many health care professionals often involves a preceptorship or field experience wherein students are assigned to work one-to-one with a preceptor or field educator so that they can be socialized into the profession and receive a reality-oriented experience. Health care professionals who accept the responsibility of being a preceptor face additional workload and stress, especially when the students to whom they are assigned are not meeting the expectations of safe, professional practice. Taking a stand against unsafe students is an important way for preceptors to promote patient safety. Given the nature of the stress and the inherent ethical issues associated with precepting an unsafe student, it is useful to examine this experience through an ethical lens. Included in this article is a brief overview of preceptorship as a model of clinical education, together with a discussion of the nature of the ethical decisions that preceptors face when precepting an unsafe student. Ethical theories, namely, virtue ethics and utilitarianism, are also explored and serve to provide the ethical lens through which preceptors can reflect upon their experiences with unsafe students.journal article2012 Jan-Febimporte
