Alisa Hill Interview, March 05, 2013
No full textSUMMARY: In this interview, Washington, D.C. native Alisa Hill speaks about the phenomenon of homelessness in the city. Alisa shares her personal experiences with homelessness, including her efforts to find shelter and how being homeless has affected her relationships with others. Alisa also discusses her advocacy efforts to bring attention to the issue of homelessness and her outreach with homeless children. PROJECT’S OBJECTIVES: The interviews conducted as part of the DC Oral History and Social Justice Project record how unhoused residents of the greater DC area view the history of homelessness – how did homelessness become such an entrenched part of the city. The interviews will be used to create critical dialogue among people who are currently unhoused in Washington, DC, and then they may be used to assist future advocacy efforts
A “very decent nick”: ethical treatment in prison-based democratic therapeutic communities
No full textThe penal system of England and Wales has been greatly influenced in the past two decades by the emergence of a moral framework or ‘decency agenda’. What decency means to prisoners and how decency can be embodied into daily prison life, however, remains underexplored. Drawing from her original research in prison-based democratic therapeutic communities (TCs), the author argues that decency is experienced in TCs through an ethic of care and an ethos of change. TC residents benefit from atypical institutional practices which encourage the formation of supportive relationships with prison staff and facilitate meaningful opportunities for personal change

Bachelor's thesis topic: "Project in author photography: the tradition of writing letter letters"
Supervisor of the bachelor's thesis: Asst. Prof. Dr. paed. Alnis Stakle
The volume of the bachelor's thesis is 66 pages, 41 informative sources, 1 appendix, 22 photos. The bachelor's thesis is written in Latvian.
The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to create an author's photography project on the tradition of writing paper letters in order to draw the public's attention to the shortcomings of modern forms of communication, as well as to popularize such a tradition as writing a paper letter.
The bachelor's thesis consists of a theoretical part and a conceptual part. In order to achieve the goal of the final work, the following tasks were set. The theoretical part of the work deals with the concept of photography and self-photography, as well as the study of the visual representation of paper letters. The concepts of communication and verbal communication, the concept of a paper letter and their properties, as well as the properties of communication with paper letters were examined and a study of the concept of tradition was carried out. In the part of the work concept, a description of the creative work concept design development was made, which includes the course of the photo series, the process of taking photos and a description of their post-processing. Conclusions were drawn at the end of the work.
Keywords: photography, communication, paper letter, tradition, visual representation, author photography
CRICOTHYROTOMY: An eLearning Module
No full textIntroduction: After graduating from medical school students can enter emergency medicine residency which is a three or four-year long program aimed and teaching them to become emergency medicine physicians. During this time learning is focused on clinical knowledge, clinical practice, didactic and procedure training. One airway procedure residents learn is the cricothyrotomy which is a low frequency, high risk procedure. The purpose of this project was to create an online asynchronous learning module that utilized multimedia and interactivity to teach the emergency cricothyrotomy. Literature Review: Millennial learners, defined as those born from years 1982 to 2004, differ from previous generations in that they grew up with technology, they are self- directed and find benefit in the application of knowledge, not just the acquisition of knowledge. Simulation, augmented reality, flipped classroom and asynchronous learning as all different types of education that help learners gain and apply knowledge and are proven efficacious means to teach millennial learners. Further the millennial’s ease with technology is an easy way to blend traditional education with asynchronous learning and the integration of multimedia modules. Methodology: The author uses the ADDIE model of instructional design to develop an asynchronous learning module to teach the emergency cricothyrotomy. Analysis phase consisted of determining the target audience, a needs assessment to determine the appropriate procedure to use for the subject of the module and the learners access to technology. Next the layout of the learning module was determined in the design phase. The development phase consisted of creating the final product—photographs, videos and audio recordings were developed and questions were generated. All content was imported to a MacBook and then into the program Adobe Captivate 9® to create the fully interactive module. The author strived to abide by Myer’s Multimedia Principles when creating the e-learning module. During the implementation phase the author tested the module on several different computers, tablets and phones. Instructional review board approval was obtained at both Cal Poly Pomona and UC Irvine. Lastly was the evaluation phase where the learners were provided the module to complete and assessed on a Kirkpatrick level one and two—reactions and knowledge retention. Discussion: Twenty Four residents were sent the asynchronous learning module. Thirteen residents completed the module, the average end of the module quiz was 97%, with a high of 100% and a low of 87.5%. Overall the residents had positive comments regarding the module, with the main negative comments being the difficulty with functionality on phones. Although this was a small single location study the results are promising that an asynchronous module can be used to teach procedures and test learning retention
Chest Pain with Acute Coronary Syndrome
No full textAudience:
This simulation was created for medical students and interns to teach the basics of working up and treatment for a patient with acute coronary syndrome.
Introduction:
Chest pain is a common presenting chief complaint. It is important for physicians to be able to quickly assess patients with chest pain, develop a differential diagnosis, assess and treat patients for seriously life-threating causes of chest pain. Although acute coronary syndrome and acute myocardial infarctions are less common causes of chest pain it is important for physicians to rapidly recognize an ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and treat accordingly.
Objectives:
At the end of this case learners should be able to prepare a differential for patients with chest pain, provide appropriate medications for a patient with chest pain, recognize an ST segment elevation MI, and appropriately disposition a patient with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Method:
This simulation can be taught using a low, medium or high-fidelity simulation model or can also be taught using a standardized patient or as an oral boards case.
Topics:
Chest pain, acute coronary syndrome, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), STEM
Sepsis Secondary to an Abdominal Wound Infection
No full textAudience:
This simulation was created for medical students and interns to teach the surviving sepsis guidelines.
Introduction:
Infections and sepsis are common diagnoses seen in the emergency department (ED). It is important for physicians to recognize, differentiate and treat systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock. This case allows learners a safe environment in which to examine, diagnose and treat a patient with septic shock.
Objectives:
At completion of this case learners should be able to:
Recognize and differentiate between systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, severe sepsis, and septic shock.
Prepare an appropriate differential diagnosis for a patient with sepsis.
Demonstrate appropriate fluid resuscitation and antibiotic therapy for a septic patient.
Demonstrate appropriate vasopressor therapy for a septic patient.
Understand and apply the Surviving Sepsis Guidelines.
Method:
This case can use a high, medium or low fidelity simulation mannequin or a standardized patient. Alternatively, this case can also be used as an oral boards case.
Topics:
Sepsis, wound infection, infectious disease, dermatology, shock
