Academic literacies research has developed over the past twenty years as a significant field of study that draws on number disciplinary fields and subfields such applied linguistics sociolinguistics, anthropology, sociocultural theories learning, new literacy studies discourse studies. Whilst there is fluidity even confusion surrounding use term ‘academic literacies’, we argue in this paper it enquiry with specific epistemological ideological stance towards academic communication...
Adverse patient outcomes are often the result of conflict or poor communication among healthcare professionals. Use interprofessional care teams can improve and delivery services. Healthcare systems have been historically hierarchical in nature with physicians regularly taking a leadership position. The presence hierarchy be source teams. This article analyzes qualitative data from four-day training for family medicine residents, pharmacy students, nurse practitioner counseling psychology...
Latinos are under-represented in biomedical research conducted the United States, impeding disease prevention and treatment efforts for this growing demographic group. We gathered perceptions of gauged willingness to participate through elicitation interviews focus groups with living on U.S.-Mexico border. Themes that emerged included a strong studies suggested may be due limited formal education access health information, not distrust. The conflation clinical care was common motivated...
While supported by the Affordable Care Act, in United States, interprofessional training often takes place after healthcare providers graduate and are practicing field. This article describes implementation evaluation of an for graduate-level trainees. A group faculty provided a weeklong immersion doctoral-level trainees (n = 24) Pharmacy, Counselling Psychology, Nursing, Family Medicine residents. Healthcare staff from each profession worked side-by-side to provide integrated utilising...
To address the persistent failure of schooling to support underserved students, youth participatory action research (YPAR) has emerged as an alternative and critical paradigm for educational practice. YPAR re-centers authority on marginalized voices understands a tool social change. Grounded in pedagogy, such projects enable students collaboratively critique oppressive structures envision more equitable possibilities. In this article, authors analyze project inequities conducted with high...
Because graduate medical education (GME) is largely publicly funded, it should be judged on how well addresses the public's health needs. However, current system distributes GME resources inequitably by specialty and geography, neglects to focus training physicians adequately in care of populations while reducing disparities. Instead, continues concentrate hospital-based academic centers subspecialties, which often exacerbates disparities outcomes access care. can more socially accountable...
Advances in communications, storage and computational technology allow significant quantities of data to be collected processed by distributed devices. Combining the information from these endpoints can realize societal benefit but presents challenges protecting privacy individuals, especially important an increasingly regulated world. Differential (DP) is a technique that provides rigorous provable guarantee for aggregation release. The Shuffle Model DP has been introduced overcome...
Background Mosquito repellents can be an effective method for personal protection against mosquito bites that are a nuisance and carry the risk of transmission mosquito-borne pathogens like plasmodia , dengue virus, chikungunya Zika virus. A multitude commercially available products currently on market, some them highly while others have low or no efficacy. Many home remedies unknown efficacy also widely used. Methods We conducted survey study to determine what kind other control strategies...

Abstract The Trinity nuclear test was detonated in south-central New Mexico on 16 July 1945; the early 2000s, National Cancer Institute undertook a dose and cancer risk projection study of possible health impacts test.

This paper aims to encourage teachers in higher education reflect on the criteria they apply when assessing students' academic writing. Grounding its arguments readings of postgraduate texts, identifies complexities that evaded teachers' assessments. These are made visible by development particular theoretical perspectives. The concept 'motivated sign' is given central significance view relevance increasing diversity student histories and expectations classrooms UK.
Rapid research is essential to assess impacts in communities affected by disasters, particularly those made "hard-to-reach" due their active marginalization across history and contemporary practices. In this article, we describe two rapid projects developed needs for experiences of hard-hit disasters. The first a project on the COVID-19 pandemic southern New Mexico (USA) that was provide information local agencies are deploying programs rebuild revitalize marginalized communities. second...
Students in higher education are generally advised to demonstrate 'critical thinking' their essays. However, research evidence shows that students frequently fail understand what is meant by such advice. This has generated projects which aim at teaching how produce essays give of critical thinking. Such tend, however, emphasise underlying structures and neglect the fact a essay needs reflect an engagement with selected items from literature field. paper seeks remedy neglect. It concentrates...

Statistical heterogeneity is a measure of how skewed the samples dataset are. It common problem in study differential privacy that usage statistically heterogeneous results significant loss accuracy. In federated scenarios, statistical more likely to happen, and so above even pressing. We explore three most promising ways give formulae for their accuracy, while simultaneously incorporating privacy. find optimum parameters via an analytic mechanism, which incorporates root finding methods....
A key task in managing distributed, sensitive data is to measure the extent which a distribution changes. Understanding this drift can effectively support variety of federated learning and analytics tasks. However, many practical settings sharing such information be undesirable (e.g., for privacy concerns) or infeasible high communication costs). In work, we describe novel algorithmic approaches estimating KL divergence across models computation, under differential privacy. We analyze their...
In 2019, the Doña Ana Wellness Institute (DAWI), County, New Mexico’s health council, sponsored two trainings in structural competency by Structural Competency Working Group. One focused on care professionals and learners; other government, non-profit organisations, elected officials.
