The Role of Morality and Religiosity in Ethnic and Homophobic Prejudice Among Teachers
No full textThe role of moral disengagement strategies and religiosity related to ethnic and
homophobic prejudice were investigated in a sample of 550 Italian secondary school
teachers (76.4% female, age range: 20–70; M=46.18) who completed the teachers’
attitudes towards the representation of homosexuality in flm and television scale;
the Italian version of the moral disengagement scale; the subtle and blatant prejudice
scales; and three items to evaluate their religiosity. Evidence suggests that moral disengagement processes matter for subtle ethnic prejudice, but not for blatant ethnic
prejudice or homophobic prejudice. Results based on a structural equation model
show that teachers who are more prone to use moral disengagement mechanisms
have higher levels of subtle ethnic prejudice, while teachers who are older and more
religious have higher levels of homophobic prejudice. The results of a multiple
group structural equation model showed that high versus low levels of religiosity
among teachers did not moderate the strength of these associations. Theoretical and
educational implications are discussed
The Trach Trail: A Systems-Based Pathway to Improve Quality of Tracheostomy Care and Interdisciplinary Collaboration.
No full textOBJECTIVE:To implement a standardized tracheostomy pathway that reduces length of stay through tracheostomy education, coordinated care protocols, and tracking patient outcomes. METHODS:The project design involved retrospective analysis of a baseline state, followed by a multimodal intervention (Trach Trail) and prospective comparison against synchronous controls. Patients undergoing tracheostomy from 2015 to 2016 (n = 60) were analyzed for demographics and outcomes. Trach Trail, a standardized care pathway, was developed with the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice. Trach Trail implementation entailed monthly tracheostomy champion training at 8-hour duration and staff nurse didactics, written materials, and experiential learning. Trach Trail enrollment occurred from 2018 to 2019. Data on demographics, length of stay, and care outcomes were collected from patients in the Trach Trail group (n = 21) and a synchronous tracheostomy control group (n = 117). RESULTS:Fifty-five nurses completed Trach Trail training, providing care for 21 patients placed on the Trach Trail and for synchronous control patients with tracheostomy who received routine tracheostomy care. Patients on the Trach Trail and controls had similar demographic characteristics, diagnoses, and indications for tracheostomy. In the Trach Trail group, intensive care unit length of stay was significantly reduced as compared with the control group, decreasing from a mean 21 days to 10 (P < .05). The incidence of adverse events was unchanged. DISCUSSION:Introduction of the Trach Trail was associated with a reduction in length of stay in the intensive care unit. Realizing broader patient-centered improvement likely requires engaging respiratory therapists, speech language pathologists, and social workers to maximize patient/caregiver engagement. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE:Standardized tracheostomy care with interdisciplinary collaboration may reduce length of stay and improve patient outcomes
Vocational Rehabilitation Professionals' Identified Transition Competencies: Importance, Frequency, and Preparedness
No full text148 p.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2009.Services and programs for transition-age youth with disabilities have been fragmented and inadequate (Noonan, 2004; Oertle & Trach, 2007; Sitlington, Clark, & Kolstoe, 2000). These often-ineffective services have contributed to the sizeable gap betweens students with disabilities and their peers without disabilities in employment and other aspects of community engagement (Blackorby & Wagner, 1996). Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) professionals are increasingly involved with transition-age youth as the only link that school programs have to post school environments and the reality of employment. It is critical that these professionals are continuously learning and evolving with the ever-changing fields of rehabilitation and special education. However, it is uncertain if state VR professionals have the knowledge to contribute to the transition process in a way that maximizes post-school outcomes for students. The purpose of this study was to identify VR professionals' perceptions of the most frequent and important transition competencies, and how prepared they report to deliver transition services. A web-based survey revealed that state VR professionals in Illinois, Ohio, and Wisconsin consistently identified that they are not performing many transition activities that they perceive to be extremely important. Also, a significant difference was found between general VR counselors and transition-focused VR counselors across level of preparedness, perceived importance and perceived frequency of delivering activities. Suggestions for further research into VR transition services are discussed.U of I OnlyRestricted to the U of I community idenfinitely during batch ingest of legacy ETD

The specific name <i>euxinus</i> refers to “Pontus euxinus ”, the Latin name of the Black Sea, where type specimens were collected.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> According to epistome with an anteromedian extension wider at the base and distally denticulate, flanked by a pair of shorter, denticulate anterolateral extensions, femur I with 12 setae, and the absence of an anterior spur on coxa II, <i>Halolaelaps euxinus</i> belongs to the group of species referred as <i>Halolaelaps</i> (<i>Saprogamasellus</i>) by Błaszak & Ehrnsberger (1993).</p> <p> The adult female of <i>Halolaelaps euxinus</i> is most similar to <i>Halolaelaps caesariensis</i> Athias-Henriot, 1961. Both species are characterised by 17 pairs of setae on the podonotal shield and eight pairs of setae on the opisthonotal shield. But <i>H</i>. <i>caesariensis</i> has endopodal plates between coxae I and II and between coxae II and III not fused, and setae <i>Z2–Z4</i> located at some distance from the edge of opisthonotal shield (in <i>H</i>. <i>euxinus</i> endopodal plates between coxae I and II and between coxae II and III fused, and setae <i>Z2–Z4</i> located on the edge of the opisthonotal shield). The adult male of <i>H</i>. <i>euxinus</i> differs from <i>H</i>. <i>caesariensis</i> by the absence of chitinous clasps on the ventrianal shield, the number of setae on the podonotal shield (21 pairs in <i>H</i>. <i>euxinus</i>, 22 pairs in <i>H</i>. <i>caesariensis</i>), and the absence of apophyses on tibia IV.</p> <p> Adult males of <i>Halolaelaps euxinus</i> is also similar to <i>Halolaelaps similis</i> Blaszak & Ehrnsberger, 1993 and <i>Halolaelaps giganteus</i> Blaszak & Ehrnsberger, 1998 (by absence of chitinous clasps on ventrianal shield) but the latter have 18 pairs and 22 pairs of setae on podonotal shield, respectively; 20 and 13 pairs of setae on opisthonotal shield, respectively, absence of apophysis on genu IV (<i>H</i>. <i>similis</i>), presence of apophysis on tibia IV (<i>H</i>. <i>giganteus</i>). Adult females of <i>H</i>. <i>similis</i> and <i>H</i>. <i>giganteus</i> have endopodal plates between coxae I and II and between coxae II and III not fused; and 16 and 17 pairs of setae podonotal shield, respectively.</p> <p> The new species was collected mainly on sandy beaches, in the same habitat as <i>Talorchestia deshayesii</i> (Audouin, 1826) (Amphipoda: Talitridae). This supralittoral species is distributed on the Black Sea Coast, and acts as an indicator of anthropogenic loadings on beaches (Son & Koshelev 2013).</p>Published as part of <i>Trach, Viacheslav A., 2016, New and little known species of Halolaelaps (Acari: Mesostigmata: Halolaelapidae) from Ukraine, pp. 436-452 in Zoo
