Student Trauma in the Classroom

Trauma-related disruptive student behavior has risen sharply. With the increase in the number of students experiencing traumatic events, and the number of U.S. veterans entering college, disruptive behavior may worsen. The purpose of the present study was to explore faculty experiences with student traumatic behavior, as well as their training to deal with such behavior

Gender Differences in CAM Usage in Undergraduates

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently opened a center for the study of the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). While the NlH has conducted a few random sampling studies, none have examined the knowledge and use of CAM among undergraduates and whether these differ by gender. 111 college students were asked about the usage of a variety of CAM techniques, as well as about beliefs and opinions about CAM techniques. Several gender differences emerged. Implications for college wellness centers will be discussed

Solar Radiation Projections of Cmip5 Models for South of Brazil

The most critical factors in the acceleration of climate and environmental changes are related to the industrial development and consequently to an increase in the demand for electricity. Looking for measures that minimize impacts to the environment, alternative energy sources are gaining more and more space in the Brazilian energy matrix. Brazil presents a great solar potential for the generation of electric energy, so the knowledge of solar radiation and its characteristics are fundamental for the study of the energy use. Due to the above, this article aims to verify the climatic variability corresponding to the variations in solar radiation patterns, in the face of climate change scenarios. The database used in this research is part of the Phase 5 Intercomparison of Matching Models (CMIP5). Was used the RCP 8.5 that scenario is considered the most pessimistic for the 21st century and is consistent with no policy change to reduce emissions and strong dependence on fossil fuels. It is important, first of all, to determine its availability in order to enable the use of solar radiation as a source of energy in a given location and / or region. The climatic projections, based on the pessimistic scenario, in a 75-year period (2026-2100) showed a fall in solar radiation in all of Rio Grande do Sul, reaching 12% in the eastern region of the state. A concern with the factors that influence the pessimistic perspectives of this scenario, as it may affect a possible production of electric energy from solar radiation

A Police Officer’s Tacit Knowledge Inventory (POTKI): Establishing Construct Validity and Exploring Applications

Research summarizes the construction of a Police Officer’s Tacit Knowledge Inventory (Inventory), a situational judgment test comprised of knowledge gained on-the-job by experienced police officers, and examines if it can play a role in the development of expertise. Correlation and regression analysis was done to establish the Inventory’s ability to predict post-Academy graduation performance. Results show that Inventory response patterns correlate with Supervisor ratings; and the Inventory responses correctly predict significant differences between novice patrol officers and experienced police officers

Layanan Kebidanan Era Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional: Memperkuat Posisi Bidan Praktik Mandiri

Survei Demografi Kesehatan Indonesia (SDKI) 2007 menunjukkan Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI) di Indonesia mencapai 228 kematian per 100.000 kelahiran hidup dan pada 2012 menunjukkan peningkatan menjadi 359 kematian per 100.000 kelahiran hidup. Angka ini sangat jauh dari target Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) yaitu sebesar 102 kematian per 100.000 kelahiran hidup. Menjelang berakhirnya Millennium Development Goals 2015, Indonesia masih menyisakan rapor merah terhadap penurunan target tujuan kelima MDGs, yaitu Angka Kematian Ibu. Sebagai upaya mencapai target tersebut, sejak 1 Januari 2014 pemerintah mengimplementasikan jaminan pelayanan kesehatan kepada perempuan hamil, melahirkan, dan dalam masa nifas melalui Jaminan Ke sehatan Nasional (JKN) yang seharusnya sudah disiapkan sejak Undang-Undang Nomor 24 Tahun 2011 tentang Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) disahkan. Dalam konteks penurunan angka kematian ibu, bidan merupakan tenaga kesehatan yang menjadi ujung tombak dalam pelayanan kesehatan nasional. Bidan tidak hanya diharapkan mampu menghadapi tantangan dalam implementasi JKN, tetapi juga diberikan tanggungjawab dalam menurunkan angka kematian ibu dan mencapai akses universal terhadap pelayanan kesehatan reproduksi. Melalui penelitian Women Research Institute (WRI) mengenai JKN terkait Pelayanan Kebidanan di Jakarta dan Bandung, didapat berbagai temuan terkait tantangan yang dihadapi oleh bidan dan perempuan peserta JKN dalam mengakses pelayanan kebidanan

Pemenuhan Fasilitas Kesehatan Ibu Melahirkan Era Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional

Menjelang berakhirnya Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2015, Indonesia masih menyisakan rapor merah terhadap penurunan target kelima MDGs, yaitu Angka Kematian Ibu (AKI). Pemerintah Indonesia berupaya menekan AKI melalui program Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN). Hal ini dimulai ketika Undang Undang Nomor 24 Tahun 2011 tentang Badan Penyelenggara Jaminan Sosial (BPJS) disahkan, maka secara bertahap semua bentuk perlindungan sosial beralih menjadi Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional (JKN). Termasuk Jaminan Persalinan (Jampersal) yang sebelumnya memberikan pelayanan kebidanan menjadi lebur dalam sistem Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional dan menjadi bagian pelayanan kesehatan ibu dan anak. Antusiasme masyarakat untuk menggunakan layanan kesehatan JKN yang ditanggung BPJS Kesehatan tercermin melalui jumlah peserta yang melebihi target. Data BPJS Kesehatan per 30 Juni 2014 memperlihatkan bahwa jumlah peserta BPJS Kesehatan yang terdaftar telah mencapai 124.553.040 jiwa. Dari total jumlah peserta tersebut sudah memenuhi target kepesertaan dalam setahun, yaitu minimal menjaring sekitar 121 juta jiwa. Namun dalam pelaksanaannya terdapat permasalahan yang dirasakan oleh masyarakat peserta JKN, terutama perempuan yang ingin menggunakan layanan kebidanan. Women Research Institute (WRI) mengidentifikasi beberapa tantangan yang dihadapi oleh perempuan peserta Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional yang ingin memanfaatkan layanan kebidanan

Influência do tamanho do grão na corrosão por pite de aço inoxidável austenítico SAE 3161 e F138

-Os aços inoxidáveis austeníticos recebem esta denominação por apresentarem a fase austenita (a estrutura CFC do ferro) estável inclusive em temperaturas inferiores à ambiente. Os mais comuns são modificações da clássica liga 18/8 (18%Cr e 8%Ni), o mais popular material resistente à corrosão por mais de 70 anos; dentre estes, o SAE 316L e F 138 foi originalmente desenvolvido para aplicações que demandem, aliada a resistência à corrosão, alta resistência mecânica. Dentre as formas de corrosão possíveis nos aços inoxidáveis, a corrosão por pite é uma das formas de corrosão mais temidas, já que nem sempre sua identificação pode ser efetuada por inspeção visual. Caracterizada por ataque corrosivo extremamente localizado, inicia-se pela quebra da película passiva em regiões sobre defeitos do metal base como inclusões, discordâncias, contornos de grão ou interface
