The purposes of this study were to evaluate the effect integrating cultural content (ICC) in an undergraduate nursing curriculum on students' self-perceived competence, and determine whether a 5-week clinical immersion international (ICC Plus) had any additional competence. Cultural competence was measured using 28-item scale regarding knowledge, self-awareness, comfort with skills Pretest scores from admission into program matched posttest obtained just prior graduation for 32 students, 7...

ABSTRACT The rapid diagnosis and management of bacterial infection are heavily dependent upon clinical assessment. Blood culture may take up to 2 days for results be suspect. Surface neutrophil CD64 expression has been shown upregulated in cases infection. Recently, a standardized kit the index was used neonatal intensive care units, showing high sensitivity specificity infections. Our study designed confirm extend these adult hospital patients determine impact this testing on laboratory's...

Cellular resistance to methotrexate (MTX) is believed be unaffected by expression of MDRI P-glycoprotein (Pgp), a pleiotropic efflux pump acting on different hydrophobic compounds that enter cells passive diffusion. A series human leukemic CCRF-CEM sublines, isolated multi-step selection for very high MTX, exhibit multiple mechanisms MTX resistance, including decreased carrier-mediated uptake and DHFR gene amplification. These sublines show cross-resistance drugs the multi-drug (MDR) family,...

Integrating the work of a professional association into an undergraduate program experience produces positive outcomes for students (Parks-Leduc et al., 2018). After successful two-year run with support from internal grant, in retailing at Minority Serving Institution (MSI) are continuing to engage unique ways. Initially, this grant was established further enhance relationship between university and by developing mentorship program. By completion program, were so passionate about that they...

Students enrolled in online asynchronous courses do not typically experience the same social and emotional benefits as students who attend a campus classroom (Lin & Gao, 2020). Challenges include lack of peer interactions, networking opportunities, peer-to-peer support, general sense belonging to (Öztürk, 2021). Still, many post-pandemic remain reticent return on-campus classes (Horváth et al., 2022). Three faculty members at four-year university an undergraduate retailing program partnered...

Objective: To determine the efficacy of designated “no smoking” areas in hospitality industry as a means providing protection from environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), and whether certain design features assist achieving this end. Methodology: In greater metropolitan region Sydney, representative group 17 social gaming clubs, licensed to serve alcoholic beverages which, apart areas, smoking occurs, agreed participate. each establishment, simultaneous single measurements atmospheric nicotine,...

The adherence of Candida albicans yeast cells to the subendothelial extracellular matrix, fibronectin, laminin, and type I IV collagen was tested. Fibronectin (10(-7) M) a peptide, PepTite-2000 (Telios Pharmaceuticals Inc., San Diego, Calif.), containing sequence arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) inhibited these targets by greater than 90%. When C. perfused over ex vivo rabbit aortic endothelium, there no significant difference in amount presence or absence RGD-containing peptide....

Abstract Time Management Skills and Student Performance in Online CoursesIt has been said that “A goal without a plan is just wish.” (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry). Aseducators, we have the almost daily task of turning wishes come with education into therealities degrees careers. In part, accomplish this by requiring students to - isto use their time effectively course goals objectives.Previous research authors revealed had learn manage orderto be successful. Furthermore, many indicated...

We have previously described a series of methotrexate (MTX)-selected CCRF-CEM sublines (CEM/MTX R1–3) displaying increased resistance to drugs associated with the multidrug phenotype and provided evidence that MDR1 P-glycoprotein contributes multifactorial MTX in these cells. also suggested P-glycoprotein-mediated transport arises cells due deficiency normal route, reduced folate carrier (RFC). now determined nucleotide sequence RFC gene CEM/MTX R1–3 confirm is defective as result premature...

Purpose To illustrate how the interdependence among four championing factors, five antecedents, and moderators affect companies' efforts in valuing adult learner e‐learning. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was conducted to identify that can assist teams designing e‐learning values learner. conceptual model designed based on identified factors. The paper provides a description of each factor insight are interdependent Findings Engagement, learning, transfer major outcomes be...

The Sawyer PointOne hollow fiber membrane microfilter is promoted for household water treatment in developing countries. Critical limitations of filtration are reversible and irreversible fouling, managed by backwashing chemical cleaning, respectively. advertised lifespan 10 years; users instructed to backwash as maintenance. Owing reduced turbidity bacterial removal efficiencies, six PointOnes were removed from Honduran homes after 23 months use. In the laboratory, we tested sterile...

The Sawyer PointONE™ hollow fiber membrane filter is increasingly promoted for long-term household water treatment in developing countries. Limited data demonstrate microbiological laboratory efficacy and short-term diarrheal disease reduction among users, but lacking. To compare performance, we enumerated Escherichia coli (E. coli) total coliforms source filtrate from: (1) one new with E. coli-spiked (107–109 CFU/100 mL) the laboratory, (2) natural Maine Honduran surface waters, (3) 50...

Purpose To investigate how the adult learner is valued in e‐learning corporate settings. Design/methodology/approach Case study methodology was used for this research. Four Fortune 500 companies that had active initiatives a minimum of four years were selected. Data development cases collected via semi‐structured telephone interviews. The questions guided data collection and case are: what context your organization?; How environment?; What considerations must be addressed when valuing...
