Designing Behavioral Interventions That Work: The Triple T – Triple R Competing Pathways Model

Increasing numbers of children are entering our nation’s schools with mental or behavioral health problems. Although many of these children are included in general education programs, teachers report feeling under- or unprepared to manage problematic behaviors. This is not surprising given that reviews of teacher training programs have evidenced limited coursework in classroom management. Within this paper, we present a framework, the Triple T – Triple R Competing Pathways Model, that is grounded in the tenets of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). ABA has decades of empirical evidence to support its use in the classroom. Triple T – Triple R simplifies the competing pathways chart frequently utilized within ABA, rendering our model accessible to teachers who might not have previous training or experience with application of behavioral tenets

Qualificação dos Programas de Prevenção do Câncer de Colo de Útero e do Câncer de Mama em Mulheres na Esf Glória/Imigrante em Santa Cruz do Sul-RS

Trabalho descritivo realizado na UBS/ESF Glória Imigrante em Santa Cruz do Sul em que se buscou melhorar as ações de prevenção do câncer de colo do útero e do câncer de mama em mulheres de 25 a 64 anos e de 50 a 69 anos da área adstrita. O protocolo utilizado como manual técnico foi o caderno de controle dos cânceres de colo do útero e de mama do Ministério da Saúde, atualizado em 2013. Entre os meses de agosto a outubro de 2014 foi realizada intervenção na qual se estabeleceram seis objetivos específicos, os quais buscaram ampliação da cobertura de detecção precoce do câncer de colo do útero para 56% e do câncer de mama para 59%, a melhoria da qualidade do atendimento, a melhoria da adesão à realização do citopatológico e da mamografia, a melhoria do registro das informações, a avaliação de risco para câncer de colo de útero e mama e a promoção à saúde destas mulheres. As metas de cobertura foram estabelecidas visando as microáreas atendidas por agentes comunitárias de saúde (microáreas um, três e cinco). Ao fim de doze semanas de intervenção foi atingida a cobertura de 54,8% de mulheres com CP em dia e 27,5% das mulheres com mamografia em dia. As metas referentes à qualidade do serviço prestado foram alcançadas integralmente. Isto significa que se obteve 100% de coleta de amostras satisfatórias do CP, que foram pesquisados sinais de alerta para câncer de colo de útero e de mama em 100% das mulheres cadastradas na intervenção, orientou-se 100% das mulheres cadastradas sobre doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST) e fatores de risco para câncer de colo de útero e de mama entre outras ações. Através destas atividades se percebeu a importância das equipes de ESF realizarem seu trabalho guiadas por protocolos que definem as ações de saúde ideais a serem realizadas com cada publico alvo. Desta forma é possível se aproximar de uma atenção à saúde integral e eficiente, de acordo com os princípios do SUS para a atenção básica

Extending the feeding period beyond 8.0 mm of subcutaneous fat reduces feed efficiency without improving meat colour and tenderness of non-implanted feedlot steers

The effect of extending the pen-feeding period of non-implanted feedlot steers beyond the 8.0 mm fat thickness (FT) endpoint on performance, carcass and meat traits was evaluated. Sixty-four medium-sized British steers (308 ± 26 kg) were grouped into four blocks by weight and housed in 16 pens. Pens within each block were assigned to one of four finishing periods: 64, 91, 119 and 147 days on feed (DOF). The first harvest (64 DOF) was defined as the projected days to attain 8.0 mm FT. From the 8.0–13.8 mm FT endpoints (64 and 147 DOF, respectively), daily shrunk body weight (SBW) feed conversion increased from 9.98 to 15.76 kg/kg (P 0.10). Overall, the 8.0 mm FT endpoint for non-implanted steers corresponded to proper performance and adequate meat quality.EEA Marcos JuárezFil: Zurbriggen, Guillermo Alberto.

Assistência de Enfermagem na aplicação do sulfato de magnésio em pacientes portadoras de pré-eclâmpsia grave e eclâmpsia no Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre - HCPA

Este trabalho é o resultado de questionamentos levantados pelas autoras quanto ao esquema de utilização do sulfato de magnésio no tratamento da pré-eclâmpsia grave e eclâmpsia (esquema de Pritchard), adotado pela equipe médica do HCPA, e as recomendações da literatura sobre aplicação de medicamentos por via intramuscular. A pesquisa apresenta os resultados da opinião de 29 enfermeiros que aplicam sulfato de magnésio em pacientes obstétricas, no que se refere ao esquema, técnica, material utilizado, bem como sinais e sintomas apresentados pelas pacientes na aplicação

The Black Hole Mass of NGC 4151. II. Stellar Dynamical Measurement from Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectroscopy

We present a revised measurement of the mass of the central black hole (Mbh) in the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151. The new stellar dynamical mass measurement is derived by applying an axisymmetric orbit-superposition code to near-infrared integral field data obtained using adaptive optics with the Gemini NIFS spectrograph. When our models attempt to fit both the NIFS kinematics and additional low spatial resolution kinematics, our results depend sensitively on how chi-squared is computed--probably a consequence of complex bar kinematics that manifest immediately outside the nuclear region. The most robust results are obtained when only the high spatial resolution kinematic constraints in the nuclear region are included in the fit. Our best estimates for the BH mass and H-band mass-to-light ratio are Mbh~(3.76+/-1.15)E7 Msun (1-sigma error) and M/L(H-band)~0.34+/-0.03 Msun/Lsun (3-sigma error), respectively (the quoted errors reflect the model uncertainties). Our BH mass measurement is consistent with estimates from both reverberation mapping (3.57[+0.45/-0.37]E7 Msun) and gas kinematics (3.0[+0.75/-2.2]E7 Msun; 1-sigma errors), and our best-fit mass-to-light ratio is consistent with the photometric estimate of M/L(H-band)=0.4+/-0.2 Msun/Lsun. The NIFS kinematics give a central bulge velocity dispersion sigma_c=116+/-3 km/s, bringing this object slightly closer to the M-sigma relation for quiescent galaxies. Although NGC 4151 is one of only a few Seyfert 1 galaxies in which it is possible to obtain a direct dynamical BH mass measurement--and thus, an independent calibration of the reverberation mapping mass scale--the complex bar kinematics makes it less than ideally suited for this purpose.Comment: 21 pages, 15 figures.

A Blueprint for Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support: Implementation of Three Components

This article provides a case study (focus on an eighth-grader with autism) within a case study (focus on an urban middle school) in terms of the implementation of positive behavior support (PBS). Information is provided on the characteristics of three key components of schoolwide PBS-universal support, group support, and individual support. For each component, information is presented on policy, assessment, and intervention in terms of an evolving approach to schoolwide PBS with descriptions of how the components were implemented at the middle school with a particular emphasis on the eighth-grade student. The authors conclude with implications for practice in terms of assessing current resources, providing professional development, and intensifying universal support within urban schools to address some of the complex issues associated with poverty

The 16th Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release from the APOGEE-2 Southern Survey and Full Release of eBOSS Spectra

This paper documents the 16th data release (DR16) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS), the fourth and penultimate from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). This is the first release of data from the Southern Hemisphere survey of the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment 2 (APOGEE-2); new data from APOGEE-2 North are also included. DR16 is also notable as the final data release for the main cosmological program of the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS), and all raw and reduced spectra from that project are released here. DR16 also includes all the data from the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey and new data from the SPectroscopic IDentification of ERosita Survey programs, both of which were co-observed on eBOSS plates. DR16 has no new data from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey (or the MaNGA Stellar Library "MaStar"). We also preview future SDSS-V operations (due to start in 2020), and summarize plans for the final SDSS-IV data release (DR17)
