Henry Wiens oral history transcript
No full textA transcript of an oral history of Henry Wiens, Executive Director of Special Programs for the Hillsboro School District, on Hispanics in the Hillsboro schools. Mr. Wiens began working in the Hillsboro School District in 1976 as the Title One and Title One M (migrant) director; Federal programs in the Elementary Secondary Education Act of 1965 under the Johnson administration. Also managed the ESL program for Hillsboro School District’s four schools. Took over the summer migrant program in Washington County in 1985-1986. Worked with Carlos Perez in the migrant program. An interstate program for high school credits was started by Jesus Vega (or Verra) called the Secondary Credit Exchange Program, where school districts in several states (Oregon and Texas mainly) would honor credit transcripts from other schools. Department of Education recognizes the program in the National Diffusion Network. 25% of student population in Hillsboro School District is ESL.Miguel Villancioanos started the Content ESL Project, teaching English in mainline courses not just ESL class; began in the 1980s. First Secretary of Education, Bill Bennett, honored the Secondary Credit Exchange Program and Content ESL Project as nationally effective programs. Jose Garcia was state director of Title One Migrant programs in 1976. Also was first Director of Migrant Education.The No Child Left Behind act brought additional funding for Title One Migrant (now called Title One C). Jonathon Furnow is a teacher on special assignment and principal of Summer Migrant Program. First federal money for migrant education came through CAP, Community Action Program, run by Sonny Montez and Jose Romero around 1967-68. In the 1970s, a computer in Little Rock, Arkansas, kept track of health and education records for all migrant students in Title One Migrant. Along with ESL, also teaches Spanish literacy
Delay in presentation in the context of local knowledge and attitude towards leprosy: the results of qualitative fieldwork in Paraguay
No full textOBJECTIVE: The primary objective of our research was to explore help-seeking behavior in the context of knowledge, attitude, and practice as factors contributing to delay in presentation in leprosy. The secondary objective was to demonstrate the value of basic qualitative research methods in this context. METHODOLOGY: Fieldwork was based at the Hospital Mennonita Km 81, the referral center for leprosy services in Paraguay. We adopted exclusively qualitative methods for fieldwork, effectively carrying out a rapid assessment of factors contributing to delay. We relied on multiple sources of information and the use of multiple methods to ensure the validity of our findings. RESULTS: Our findings linked delay in presentation to traditional beliefs, lack of awareness of the early symptoms of leprosy, stigma, seeking help from natural healers, and to interactions with the health services. Traditional beliefs diminish the importance of the early symptoms of leprosy. Stigma has an impact on decisions to seek help. Natural healers have maintained their traditional status in society; their preferred treatments for leprosy are ineffective. Only rarely do natural healers refer to the health services. Once presented to the health services, some individuals affected by leprosy experienced lengthy delays in diagnosis and start of treatment. DISCUSSION: To address the traditional values of a society and provide effective public health initiatives is a clearly a major challenge for program organizers and for health education. Increased awareness of leprosy and sensitivity to its social consequences among health service practitioners is a further priority

No full textGoing Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.
