Development of an Environmental Disposition Scale: A Guide for Fostering Sustainable Behavior

Promoting sustainable behavior or environmentally responsible behavior poses challenges because there is no overarching solution for behavior changes. Both surveys and interventions are context specific, meaning behaviors do not necessarily influence other behaviors and the same values, norms, and beliefs do not necessarily translate to the same level of sustainable behavior. Because there are regional differences in ideologies in the United States, a country level approach to encourage sustainable behavior would not be as effective as having interventions that directly correlate with the motivations that encourage environmentally responsible behavior. A survey will be conducted with University of Central Florida undergraduate students. The results of the survey will be analyzed through structural equation modelling and compared to previous studies to examine the regional differences among college students. The results of this study will assist new intervention programs to be personalized to the target group’s motivating factors and more effectively change behavior through improving self-efficacy for sustainable behaviors

Navigating Ambiguity: Critiques of Indonesia's Health Law and its Impact on Legal Redress for Medical Malpractice Victims

In Indonesia, the fundamental right to health is enshrined in the 1945 Constitution, affirming every person's entitlement to live a safe and prosperous life with access to health services. The 2023 Health Law focuses on six pillars, including health security, funding, human resources, technology, primary care, and referral services, aiming to alleviate financial burdens through progressive financing. Particularly significant is the procedural change in protecting health workers, notably medical personnel, through the implementation of restorative justice methods. This article critically examines the implications of the 2023 Health Law on victim redress, particularly concerning medical personnel protection and the application of restorative justice in life-threatening medical error cases. However, the provision regarding the handling of medical personnel facing criminal allegations and disciplinary sanctions raises concerns regarding clarity and implementation. Ambiguities surrounding key terms and the prioritization of restorative justice mechanisms without clear guidelines may result in delays and inconsistencies in the legal process. This study sheds light on the need for clarity and refinement in legal frameworks to ensure the protection of both medical personnel and patients while promoting accountability and justice within the healthcare system

Development and Validation of a Tool to Measure Patient Assessment of Clinical Compassion

Importance: Clinician compassion is a vital element of health care quality. Currently, there appears to be no validated and feasible method for health care organizations to measure patient assessment of clinician compassion on a large scale. Objective: To develop and validate a tool for measuring patient assessment of clinician compassion that can be used in conjunction with the Clinician and Group Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CG-CAHPS) survey. Design, Setting, and Participants: This prospective cohort study took place from June 1 to August 30, 2018, at a US academic health care system among a pilot cohort consisting of 3325 adult patients and a validation cohort consisting of 3483 adult patients, both of whom had an outpatient clinic visit and completed the CG-CAHPS survey. Main Outcomes and Measurements: After a comprehensive literature review, 12 candidate survey items were developed. Face and construct validity were performed. Candidate items were disseminated to patients in conjunction with the CG-CAHPS survey in a series of 2 studies: (1) exploratory factor analysis in one cohort to determine the factor structure and the most parsimonious set of items; and (2) validity testing in a second cohort using confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability was tested using Cronbach α. Convergent validity was tested with patient assessment of clinician communication and overall satisfaction questions from CG-CAHPS survey. Results: Overall, 6493 patient responses were analyzed. The mean (SD) age was 60 (15) years, 4239 patients (65.3%) were women, and 5079 (78.2%) were white. Exploratory factor analyses identified a 5-item compassion measure to be the most parsimonious. Confirmatory factor analyses found good fit. The compassion measure demonstrated good internal consistency (α = 0.94) and convergent validity (clinician communication: ρ = 0.44; overall satisfaction: ρ = 0.52) but reflected a patient experience domain (compassionate care) distinct from what is currently captured in the CG-CAHPS survey. Conclusions and Relevance: A simple 5-item tool to measure patient assessment of clinician compassion was developed and validated for use in conjunction with CG-CAHPS survey

ACHIEVING OUR LAW: TOWARD A MODERN LEGAL SCIENCE

Today the thought that law could be understood as a science like any other taught and studied at a modern university is felt to be, if not ridiculous, then surely a mistake. In this dissertation I argue that that consensus is only partly right: in fact law is a science in one sense but not quite in another. By retracing the evolution of the idea from the early days of the Western legal tradition among the Scholastic Jurists to the birth of the modern American law curriculum at the end of the nineteenth century, this dissertation explains why our law can still be thought of as a science and why that belief matters for restoring our faith in a rational rule of law. Yet, even if our law is a science in a more fundamental sense, what it has never been is a fully modern one. This dissertation therefore aims to delineate a credible intellectual premise for a renewed legal science, by sketching a naturalistic picture of what lawyers think and argue about as lawyers—the constituents of the legal point of view. The theory I propose centers on the idea of the doctrinal model: an abstract normative structure drawn from the same cognitive theory advanced in the philosophy of science. What that theory brings to light are both the intellectual constituents of a truly modern science and also its cultural preconditions: the organizing concepts of discovery and therefore of progress, as well as disciplined public debate. Coming to see those features already latent in law should not only restore our confidence in the legal point of view. It also reveals the outlines of the distinctively modern project of discovering, elaborating, and defending those doctrinal models that will serve a more fully democratic life. By taking up that project anew we will come that much closer to achieving the promise of our nearly thousand-year-old Western legal tradition—to achieving our law

Modelo de regressão log-logístico discreto para dados da política de zoneamento e uso do solo na presença de observações censuradas

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Instituto de Ciências Exatas, Departamento de Estatística, 2018.Neste trabalho são propostas três diferentes maneiras para realizar a contagem discreta do tempo até a adesão da política de Zoneamento e Uso do Solo (ZUS), sendo construído, para cada abordagem, um modelo de regressão Log-Logístico. A motivação para o desenvolvimento desses modelos surge quanto `a raridade de estudos estatísticos na área de Ciências Políticas e a impossibilidade de aplicação de modelos contínuos em dados discretos, advindos de uma contagem de tempo em anos. Os três modelos construídos utilizaram a distribuição Log-Logística Discreta, sendo considerada a função de ligação exponencial para a inclusão de covariáveis no modelo. Para realizar a estimativa dos parâmetros do modelo, foi necessário construir um algoritmo computacional

Câncer de boca avançado : o que está acontecendo com os nossos pacientes?

Os tumores de cavidade oral estão cada vez mais prevalentes em nosso meio. Conforme o Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA) estima-se que no Brasil, a cada ano, surjam cerca de 15.190 novos casos de câncer de boca, sendo que 6.455 pacientes morrem devido a essa doença. A incidência, antigamente, era muito maior em homens, cerca de quatro vezes mais do que em mulheres. Essa diferença vem diminuindo à medida que a mulher começou a adquirir os hábitos de fumar e ingerir bebidas alcoólicas. Devido à dificuldade de detecção pelo próprio paciente, a falta de suspeição por muitos médicos e/ou a demora em chegar a um serviço especializado, a maioria dos casos de tumor de boca são detectados em estágios avançados. Nesse estudo então, temos o objetivo de identificar os pacientes que chegaram ao Serviço de Otorrinolaringologia e Cabeça e Pescoço do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre portando lesões malignas de boca em estágios avançados nos anos de 2011 a 2015 para assim, visualizar o cenário do nosso sistema público de saúde, avaliando a localização das lesões na cavidade oral, a idade e o sexo dos pacientes, os fatores de risco, o estágio clínico em que chegaram, tratamentos impostos e a sobrevida no decorrer do seguimento.Oral cavity tumors are increasingly prevalent in our environment. According to the National Cancer Institute (INCA) it is estimated that in Brazil, every year, there are about 15,190 new cases of mouth cancer, and 6,455 patients die from this disease. The incidence, in the past, was much higher in men, about four times higher than in women. This difference has been decreasing as the woman started to acquire the habits of smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages. Due to the difficulty of detection by the patient, the lack of suspicion by many doctors and/or the delay in reaching a specialized service, most cases of oral tumors are detected in advanced stages. In this study, then, we aim to identify patients who arrived at the Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Service of the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre, carrying malignant lesions of the mouth in advanced stages in the years 2011 to 2015 in order to visualize the scenario of our public health system, evaluating the location of lesions in the oral cavity, the age and gender of patients, risk factors, the clinical stage in which they arrived, imposed treatments and survival during follow-up
