Call Before You Fall

National organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Collaborative Alliance for Nursing Outcomes (CALNOC) have prioritized reduction of inpatient falls as a patient safety goal. An improvement project utilizing the model for improvement and Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles was conducted on a 40-bed unit that provides care to cardiac, and medical-surgical patients. The current fall prevention quality council team is composed of nurses and interdisciplinary clinicians, who focus on improving clinical and financial outcomes related to fall prevention and potential injuries. A Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) was asked to lead a practice improvement project in response to chart audits and observational rounding that indicated a gap in patient awareness of fall prevention activities and lack of consistent implementation of established fall prevention measures by nursing staff. The aim of this project was to increase awareness and knowledge of patients related to fall prevention and staff education to improve reliability of implementation actions to reduce falls. Data was collected over a three-month period and new interventions including a fall prevention tool kit and communication campaign – “Call Before You Fall” were developed and implemented to reduce fall rates by 50% every month. Results from staff education are expected to improve based on pre and post data comparison of education provided during shift huddles. Data results post intervention proved to decrease the rate of falls. Clearly, fall prevention activities need to address both communication and education interventions to improve fall reduction outcomes

Developing Instructional Skills: Perspectives of Feedback in Student Teaching

Feedback is essential for the transformation and development of new teachers. This action research study explored perceptions of feedback givers/receivers in the development of essential teaching skills in a new co-teaching model. Outcomes informed programmatic changes to teacher education trainings and protocols. The research team included teacher education faculty, including the program leader (author 1), faculty (author 2) and K-12 teacher leader (author 3). Student teachers (6), cooperating teachers (7), and university supervisors (3) participated in semi-standard interviews and close-ended surveys. Responses were analyzed for feedback content, frequency, timing, effectiveness, reception and application. Three key components of the feedback process were identified: Goals (What), Relationship (How), and Effect (Change). The relationship between the student teacher receiving and the supervisor providing the feedback significantly influenced student teacher perception and application of feedback. Resulting programmatic changes include cooperating teacher selection criteria, co-teaching training, regular triad team meetings, and rubric-based feedback protocols

Pre-service Teachers Identify Connections Between Teaching-learning and Literacy Strategies

This study explores the transformation of pre-service teachers in their attainment of effective teaching skills. Pre-service teachers learn about the learning-to-read process and implementations of component skills of teaching reading within the practicum. More importantly, pre-service teachers achieve a meaningful understanding of the declarative, procedural and strategic knowledge of working with struggling readers as well as the merits, utilities and appropriate applications of important literacy skills. Through reflecting, rehearsing, and revising teaching/learning practices, pre-service teachers are able to augment scripted Direct Instruction curriculum to improve student reading performance, and further generate meaningful learning gains that promote sustainability for themselves and their students

Thinking Critically About Data Displays

The quality of a data display can have an impact on the interpretation of those data. A survey of the literature indicates that data displays can vary in quality of accuracy, clarity, and efficacy. In this study we develop and apply an evaluative rubric to graphs in a sample of six education journals: three research and three practitioner. Results indicate that graph quality is typically high in educational journals, however, in practitioner oriented journals issues around graph clarity and efficacy should be addressed. Common error patterns are pinpointed, and four recommendations are made to authors and editors: focus on meaningful labels, increase amount of data displayed, portray multiple relationships, and elaborate with supporting text

A FAMILY WOMEN

Conceitos criados sobre a familia muito vêm influenciado e sendo influenciados pelo movimento de construção da identidade feminina. É fácil imaginar uma mulher se pensamdo, pensamdo sua condição feminma, relacionando isso à idéia de familia; da mesma forma pensar uma farnilia considerando a presença feminina. Percorrer os entrelaçamentos dessas instâncias, mulher e familia, de um ponto de vista histórico e social, contando com os depoimen^tos dos sujeitos da pesquisa, abre oportunidades de estendermos as reflexões aqui revendas, a outras mulheres, que vivem circunstâncias semelh^imtes ao grupo pesquisado. Esse artigo é parte de uma dissertação de mestrado que propõe urna reflexão sobre o ser mãe. Apresenta algas elementos que constituem essa condição, as articulações que fazem entre si, considerando influências histónco-sociais e o papel da mulher atual.Past and present ideas of family are both influenced by, and act on, the development of a feminine identity. Women often consider their own femininity as centered on the idea of family. In the same way, traditional ideas of family have a strong feminine presence in them. By placing these concepts in a historical and sociological context, we open opportunities for the identification of other experiences that are similar to those presented by the researched group of mothers on the topic. This article is part of a Master’s Dissertation that presents some ideas on motherhood. We introduce some elements intrinsic to this condition, discussing the relationship between them, and taking into account social influences as well as women’s ongoing roles

Propuesta de un programa de calidad para incrementar las ventas de la Asociación de Artesanas Emprendedoras Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia de Monsefú - 2010

La presente tesis analiza de forma sistemática la importancia de contar con un Programa de Calidad en la Asociación de Artesanas Emprendedoras “Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia” de Monsefú, a efectos de lograr un incremento en sus ventas. El estudio determina la ausencia de un sistema de calidad en la asociación, lo que muestra su debilidad y por consiguiente, a pesar que sus productos son “buenos”, no incrementan sus ventas en la forma deseada. El sector artesanal ha estado olvidado en los últimos años, sin embargo cuenta con un elevado potencial de crecimiento, existiendo mano de obra calificada no empleada, donde la inversión inicial que la reactive no es necesariamente elevada y que fundamentalmente se concentre en la actividad de exportación. Sobre esta base, decidimos encontrar la manera de hacer que la Asociación de Artesanas Emprendedoras “Nuestra Señora de la Misericordia” de Monsefú aplique un Programa de Calidad y, convirtiéndose en un sector artesanal productivo, logre incrementar sus ventas. Para ello, analizamos los cambios y estrategias que han de implantarse y seguir con la finalidad de que el sector se desarrolle y sea un motor generador de divisas no solo para Monsefú mismo, sino para todo el país.Tesi

La Cadena de Logística y su relación con las exportaciones de la S.P.N 0901.11.90.00 - Los Demás Café Sin Tostar hacia Alemania durante el periodo 2015-2019

El objetivo de la presente investigación es determinar la relación de la cadena logística y las exportaciones de los demás café sin tostar hacia Alemania durante el periodo del 2015 al 2019. Con respecto a las empresas exportadoras de café en el Perú, estas se enfrentan a la internacionalización, por ello, los procesos logísticos, estrategias de mercado y actores claves ayudan en la búsqueda de una mejora continua. Otro punto, los cultivos de café se producen en climas húmedos, asimismo, la mano de obra calificada conserva la forma de los granos. Lo siguiente, la cadena de suministro del café empieza desde la fase productiva, luego pasa a ser recogido por los intermediarios (exportadores). Después de comercializar el producto al país de destino se elige el tipo de transporte a usar, en su mayoría son a través de los puertos del Callao y Paita. Finalmente, es distribuido al cliente final. Para analizar la relación de las variables, se realizó una investigación cuantitativa enfocándose en 4 dimensiones; almacenamiento, distribución, abastecimiento y exportación; con ello se espera medir el grado de importancia a través de indicadores. Se utilizó un cuestionario en escala Likert, el cual fue dirigido a ejecutivos y funcionarios que ocupan cargos en las áreas de logística y exportaciones en las principales empresas exportadoras. De esta manera se concluyó que la logística si se relaciona con las exportaciones de café, siendo las dimensiones de distribución y almacenamiento con valores con una correlacional fuerte y positiva.The main objective of the present investigation is to determine the relationship of the logistics chain and the exports of the other unroasted coffee to Germany during the period from 2015 to 2019. With respect to Coffee exporting companies in Peru, these face internationalization, therefore, logistics processes, market strategies and key actors help in the search for continuous improvement. Another point, coffee crops are produced in humid climates, and skilled labor preserves the shape of the beans. Next, the coffee supply chain starts from the productive phase, then it is picked up by intermediaries (exporters). After marketing the product to the country of destination you choose the type of transport to use, mostly are through the ports of Callao and Paita. Finally, it is distributed to the final customer. To analyze the relationship of the variables, a quantitative research was conducted focusing on 4 dimensions; storage, distribution, supply and export; with this it is expected to measure the degree of importance through indicators. A Likert-scale questionnaire was used, which was addressed to specialists in logistics and export positions in major exporting companies. In this way it was concluded that logistics is related to coffee exports, being the dimensions of distribution and storage with values with a strong and positive correlational.Tesi
