The effect of interpolated emotional reactions upon retention: A study of retroactive inhibition

The purpose of the present paper is to review the work that has been done on the general problem of retroactive inhibition and to present some experimental work of a further problem: the effect of emotional reactions, as the interpolated activity, upon the retention of previously learned series of nonsense syllables

Heart Nursing Care Model

The role of the hematology ambulatory registered nurse (HARN) is currently disorganized at a large Midwestern clinic. Cumently the HARN is responsible for telephone care, lab results, prescription refills, patient education, submitting forms, and helping patients with miscellaneous items. The HARN is pulled in several directions throughout the day. With healthcare reimbursement changing, there is a growing need for HARNs to be utilized to one\u27s fullest potential and licensure. The purpose of this project is to create a new model of nursing care, which will further enhance the HARN role. Jean Watson\u27s Philosophy and Science of Caring provides a framework for this project. Four of Watson\u27s Caritas Processes are utilized in this project to explicate the HARN role and responsibilities. Healing, caring, and presence are key concepts incorporated in the creation of the Heart Nursing Care Model for the HARN. The Heart Nursing Care Model will help enhance the HARN role by utilizing the RN the fullest licensure, help decrease disorganization to the workday, and increase RN satisfaction. Implementation of the Heart Nursing Care Model will require leadership and evaluation from staff. Measuring patient, provider, and nurse satisfaction is important to evaluate prior to as well as after implementation of the Heart Nursing Care Model into nursing practic

Ten key features of the future medical school - not an impossible dream

Significant developments in medical education are necessary if medical schools are to respond to the pressures from advances in medicine, changes in health care delivery, and patient and public expectations. This article describes 10 key features of the medical school of the future: the move from the ivory tower to the real world, from just-in-case learning to just-in-time learning, from the basic science clinical divide to full integration, from undervalued teaching and the teacher to recognition of their importance, from the student as a client to the student as partner, from a mystery tour to a mapped journey, from standard uniform practice to an adaptive curriculum, from a failure to exploit learning technology to its effective and creative use, from assessment of learning to assessment for learning, and from working in isolation to greater collaboration. A move in the directions specified is necessary and possible. With some of the changes proposed already happening, it is not an impossible dream.</p

The Transnational Diffusion of Human Trafficking Policy

Globalization has promoted the transnational diffusion of public policies. Recognizing that policies of one country are shaped by policies of others, scholars have developed several theories to explain policy diffusion. Because empirical evidence for these theories is contested, this study evaluates the relative explanatory power of the major theories of policy diffusion for human trafficking policies. To test competing theoretical claims, this study uses quantitative methods on an original, cross-national data set to analyze how human trafficking policies diffused. The results reveal that for the diffusion of human trafficking policies coercion and constructivist theories have robust support, while support is less consistent for reputation theory and altogether lacking for competition theory. Surprisingly, the findings show that irresolute sanction threats were more effective than credible threats in promoting trafficking policy diffusion. In addition, the analysis reveals a complicated relationship between regional organizations and constructivist diffusion mechanisms. By showing the explanatory power of each theory and raising new questions and puzzles, the study offers a foundation for further theoretical development. This research also has practical implications for diplomats and policymakers who wish to promote the diffusion of good practices to counter human trafficking
