Development of a Borehole Log Signature for Oceanic Anoxic Events and Its Application to the Gulf of Mexico

Oceanic anoxic events (OAEs) are periods in Earth\u27s history when oceans were depleted in dissolved oxygen and characterized by deposition of organic-rich sediments. The Oceanic Drilling Program (ODP) has drilled through OAEs in a number of areas worldwide, collecting core and borehole log data. This project attempts to identify a characteristic signature from known ODP OAE sections using these data and to apply the signature to identify OAE intervals in Gulf of Mexico wells where cores are lacking. Additionally, pseudo density curves were generated from ODP logs and compared to bulk density logs to determine if the deviation between the two would aid identification of OAE intervals. A general, though not fool proof, signature of high gamma ray, uranium, neutron porosity and low density was seen in nearly all of the ODP holes. Using this signature 20 potential OAE intervals were identified in the Gulf of Mexico

Nurse-Physician Collaboration and Satisfaction

The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of interdisciplinary rounds (IDR) on a neurology medical-surgical inpatient unit. Existing research shows that IDR improves nurse-physician relationships and satisfaction and improves patient outcomes. Using the Collaboration and Satisfaction about Care Decisions (CSACD) tool developed by Baggs, nurse-physician collaboration and satisfaction was measured pre and post implementation of interdisciplinary rounds. Twenty-one nurses and five physicians participated in the study which included education sessions, a two week trial of IDR, and a pre and post survey. Nurses and physicians in this sample perceived a significant increase in collaboration (X = 5.6563, P = 0.0174) after IDR implementation (Figure 2). There was also an increase in perceived satisfaction, although not statistically significant (X = 3.3629, P = 0.0667). Nurses scored significantly lower (indicating less agreement) than physicians in regards to collaboration (X = 4.8864, P = 0.0271) and satisfaction (X = 5.3332, P = 0.0209); nurses were less satisfied with the collaboration between nurses and physicians during the decision making process

Reaching vs. Teaching: How to Connect with Youth in a Way that Changes Behavior

Jackie Brewton’s “Reaching vs. Teaching” workshop will equip attendees with tried and true techniques that have helped her to empower thousands of girls, as well as guys, to choose to delay sexual activity as the “best choice” option for their future. Attendees will learn effective approaches to connect with youth for long-term behavioral change Including: the importance of knowing their world and using culturally relevant examples; teaching students towards something not away from something; and how to help students think, not tell them how to think

A Qualitative Study of the Impact of Experiences of Students With Parents as their Principal, Teacher, or Coach

Many people assume that educators’ children have an easy life in school, since many people at the school level and in the community traditionally hold educators in high esteem. Rarely does anyone explore the added pressure put on this selected class of students to perform for teachers, classmates, and the parent-educator, especially when all are in the same school. Perceptions of belonging have been determined to have important effects on adolescent development, influencing both social and academic outcomes (Baumeister & Leary, 1995; Walton & Cohen, 2007). Educators’ children are often uncomfortable with everyone knowing who their parent is. Students whose parents teach or coach them or whose parent is the principal are a source of curiosity for their classmates (Bielski, 2016). Discovering how students navigated around fitting in with peers and performing for their teachers, while having a parent as a teacher, principal, or coach was the focus of this study. The purpose of this qualitative research was to gauge the extent of pressures, the social and emotional impact, and the advantages and/or disadvantages individuals felt when they were a student having a parent in a position of authority at their school. The findings from the research study substantiated the literature, supporting the importance for all students, including this studied group, to experience a sense of belonging at school with both their peers and their teachers
