Abstract

Este artigo discute a importância transnacional dos movimentos de mulheres contra João Goulart, no Brasil, e contra Salvador Allende, no Chile, e o impacto que tiveram sobre as mulheres conservadoras dos Estados Unidos. Para tanto, examina a ampla cobertura que a mídia, nos Estados Unidos, deu aos movimentos dessas mulheres, assim como as visitas que as mulheres anti-Goulart fizeram aos Estados Unidos após o golpe militar brasileiro de 1964. Ele explora vários casos em que mulheres conservadoras brasileiras e chilenas partilharam suas experiências e suas vitórias políticas com as mulheres da América do Norte, que, por sua vez, foram inspiradas por elas. O artigo desafia a literatura acerca das mulheres de direita nos Estados Unidos, que tem ignorado o impacto que as mulheres conservadoras do Brasil ou do Chile tiveram sobre os movimentos desse país.

Abstract

This essay explores several key themes regarding political imprisonment and confinement. Neither governments nor activists agree on who is and who is not a political prisoner. Governments routinely deny they imprison people for political reasons. Instead, they consistently seek to criminalize those they detain as part of their effort to maintain the legitimacy of their rule and delegitimize those who act against it. A common definition of who is and who is not a political prisoner does not exist among prisoners, activists, or supporters. No international organizations or national bodies have developed a shared description of what constitutes a political prisoner. Instead, as this essay and the articles that follow illustrate, the subject is a matter of debate and discussion.

Abstract

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) clubs are gaining momentum as a means for engaging students in STEM- related activities. Despite this growth, there have been limited attempts to examine the conditions that inform practice in these informal educational spaces. This paper addresses that gap through a comprehensive literature review of empirical and practitioner publications, with a focus on synthesising the approaches that support STEM clubs to be effective learning environments. In total, 33 papers were included in this review. Through a rigorous literature review process, the research team identified a number of key focus areas that support the achievement of learning outcomes and programme sustainability. These focus areas are grouped into three key themes – club management, environment, and program evaluation – that STEM club practitioners should attend to in order to ensure a well-informed approach. Within in each theme a number of sub-dimensions were identified, which provide prac- tical insights and lived examples of how these conditions can be enacted within STEM clubs in ways that speak to quality. The evidence-based findings presented in this paper can be used by practitioners to guide STEM club practice. Further, the paper iden- tifies where research is required to explore contemporary practice in informal education settings.

Abstract

Background Histoplasmosis is a common cause of invasive fungal infection in endemic regions and accurate diagnosis is difficult without direct tissue culture or pathology. Indirect fungal antigen testing for various fungal pathogens are typically performed to assist with diagnostic workup, though cross-reaction can lead to difficulty in interpreting results. We aimed to compare indirect fungal diagnostic tests and evaluate prevalence of positive antigen testing for non-Histoplasma fungal pathogens in patients with proven histoplasmosis. Methods We performed a single-center retrospective review of adult patients with proven histoplasmosis diagnosed by fungal culture and/or cytology from January 2010 to March 2018. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, and results of fungal antigen testing for Histoplasma, Blastomyces, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus, and (1→3)-β-D-glucan were evaluated. Two different urine Histoplasma antigen assays were used during the study period. Results Fifty-seven of 182 (31.3%) patients reviewed had proven histoplasmosis and presented with acute pulmonary (n = 10), chronic pulmonary (n = 7), and disseminated (n = 40) disease. Forty-one (72%) of these patients were immunosuppressed. Urine Blastomyces antigen (93%) and serum (1→3)-β-D-glucan (88%) were commonly positive in patients with histoplasmosis, whereas Aspergillus antigen was detected in 50% of patients and Cryptococcus antigenemia was rare (5%). In patients with disseminated disease, the MiraVista urine Histoplasma antigen assay had higher sensitivity than the Viracor urine Histoplasma antigen assay (86% vs 50%, respectively; P = .019). Conclusions Noninvasive fungal antigen assays are helpful diagnostic tools; however, given their low specificity, clinicians must be aware of the various clinical presentations of invasive fungal infections and be aware of the limitations of these tests.

Abstract

Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy is associated with infection rates between 0.3 % and 3.2%. Infectious complications include urinary tract infection, prostatitis, bacteraemia and sepsis. Surgical site surveillance in this patient cohort is becoming increasingly important given global increases in antimicrobial resistance.Surgical site surveillance for patients undergoing TRUS biopsies was introduced in our hospital in 2017. All patients had a risk assessment form completed to assess for carriage or risk of carriage of multi-drug resistant organisms. An intense analysis was completed on any patient who developed an infection post-TRUS biopsy. Data was fed back on a quarterly basis to a multi-disciplinary working group. Members of this group include a Consultant Microbiologist, Infection Prevention and Control Nurse, Consultant Urologist, Antimicrobial Pharmacists and Clinical Nurse Ward Managers.784 TRUS-guided biopsy of the prostate procedures were performed between January 1 st 2017 and the end of the third quarter, 2021. The rate of infection post-TRUS was 2.7% in 2017, 3.4% in 2018 and 3.2% in 2019. This improved to 0% in 2020 and 0.8% in the first three quarters of 2021.Several interventions were introduced resulting in a sustained reduction in infection rates in this cohort. These include changing the choice of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis, improvement in the timing of antibiotic prophylaxis and scheduling of other urology procedures. The introduction of surgical site surveillance and multi-disciplinary input has demonstrated a reduction in infection rates post TRUS biopsy.

31. Norvelt: Worker's Haven and Missed Opportunity

Abstract

Norvelt is a New Deal subsistence homestead community in western Pennsylvania established to provide secure and comfortable homes, access to healthy food, and an affirming cooperative community to unemployed miners and their families. It succeeded in these aims, but its virtual exclusion of African American residents affirmed the racial prejudice and discrimination that permeated much of the New Deal. Creating an integrated community would have met with great resistance from white residents, who voted to exclude African American applicants, and from powerful regional voices already suspicious of what they considered to be a socialist experiment. Accommodating racial prejudice perpetuated injustices that denied African Americans access to opportunities available to whites.

Abstract

During January–August 2021, the Community Prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 Study used time/location sampling to recruit a cross-sectional, population-based cohort to estimate SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence and nasal swab sample PCR positivity across 15 US communities. Survey-weighted estimates of SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccine willingness among participants at each site were compared within demographic groups by using linear regression models with inverse variance weighting. Among 22,284 persons >2 months of age and older, median prevalence of infection (prior, active, or both) was 12.9% across sites and similar across age groups. Within each site, average prevalence of infection was 3 percentage points higher for Black than White persons and average vaccine willingness was 10 percentage points lower for Black than White persons and 7 percentage points lower for Black persons than for persons in other racial groups. The higher prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection among groups with lower vaccine willingness highlights the disparate effect of COVID-19 and its complications.

Abstract

Objectives: Employee work engagement, job satisfaction, quality of care, and intent to leave are critical indicators for healthcare organizational performance. This study aimed to analyze the current state of nurses’ work engagement and its factors to examine the associations among nurses’ work engagement, job satisfaction, quality of care, and intent to leave in the United States (US). Methods: This is a quantitative descriptive cross-section design. Data were collected online from the US registered nurses from March to September 2022. Measures comprised the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, the demographics, and questions regarding job satisfaction, perceived quality of care, and intent to leave. Results: Nine hundred nurses participated in the online survey. Among the participants, 79.2% reported holding a specialty certification, 59.4% scored high/very high on job satisfaction, 82.2% expressed high/very high on the perceived quality of nursing care, and 28.4% conveyed likely/very likely to leave in the following year. Nurses’ work engagement was positively associated with nurses’ job satisfaction and their perceived quality of care but negatively associated with intent to leave. More certified nurses reported high or very high job satisfaction than non-certified nurses. As for demographics, the linear regression analysis showed that nurses who were older, identified as White, and held doctorate degrees reported higher levels of work engagement in comparison to their counterparts. Conclusions: This study shows that nurses’ work engagement is associated with their job satisfaction, perceived quality of care, and intent to leave. Nurses’ work engagement in this study is lower than in other studies, especially before the COVID-19 pandemic, which may indicate a possible association with the COVID-19 impact. Because nurses’ work engagement is significantly associated with job satisfaction, nurse leaders need to find ways to promote nurses’ job satisfaction and retention.

Abstract

This chapter explores how Puerto Rican women members of the Nationalist Party conceived their roles in the struggle against US colonial rule from the 1930s through the 1950s. It examines how these women understood nationalism, why they sought to secure national sovereignty, and what actions they engaged in. Far from considering nationalism a male endeavor, they enthusiastically entered and even led the struggle for national independence. Most literature on nationalism draws on men’s words and visions of the nation and, as a result, overlooks women’s participation in national liberation struggles or relegates them to a secondary position, at best. This chapter explores Nationalist Party women’s words, thoughts, and actions to determine their perspective on their roles in the struggle for Puerto Rican independence.

Abstract

This article examines transnational connections among anti-communist women in Brazil, Chile and the United States from the 1960s to the 1980s. It explores the political beliefs and networks upon which these women drew and built in order to promote their role in the overthrow of Joao Goulart and Salvador Allende and to encourage other women across the Americas to join them in the fight against communism. This paper shows that these women reversed the flow of ideas, served as models for each other and for anti-communist women, and built gendered transnational networks of female anti-communist activists.

Abstract

Objectives: Nursing specialty certification validates nurses’ mastery of specialty knowledge in disease management, education, or leadership above entry-level education and licensing. Research suggests direct relationships between nursing certifications and patient care quality. However, nurses’ specialty certification rates are still low. This study aims to better understand nurses’ perceptions of the facilitators and barriers in promoting nurses’ desires and ability to obtain specialty certifications, which exclude advanced nursing practice roles, such as nurse practitioner or nurse midwife. Methods: This qualitative descriptive study took place virtually across the United States from May 2022 to September 2022. The study sample was a nested sample of a large national survey study. Among the nurses agreeing to be interviewed, a purposive sampling method was used to achieve maximum variation in diversity, such as years as a nurse, race, ethnicity, and certification status. Information saturation was used to gauge the sample size. Data were collected via in-depth virtual face-to-face interviews. The coding process was based on Colaizzi's method of data analysis. Results: Twenty nurses participated in the study. Five major themes emerged related to organizational culture and strategies to foster nurse specialty certifications. The five organizational strategies included 1) sharing resources, 2) a culture of ownership and a sense of belonging, 3) mentorship and role modeling, 4) recognizing nurses’ efforts and accomplishments, and 5) cultivating a sense of meaning, purpose, and support. Conclusions: The findings indicate that organizational culture and leadership significantly promote continuing learning environments. Organizations need to develop an organizational culture that promotes nurses’ specialty certifications. This study identified significant areas that are important to support nurses seeking certifications. Additional research is needed to evaluate which interventions significantly impact initial and continued certification levels, especially in the post-COVID-19 era.

Abstract

Background Histoplasmosis (histo) is a common cause of invasive fungal infection in endemic regions and accurate diagnosis is difficult without direct tissue culture or pathology. Indirect fungal antigen testing for various fungal pathogens is typically performed to assist with diagnostic workup though cross-reaction can lead to difficulty interpreting results. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of positive antigen testing for non-Histoplasma fungal pathogens in patients with proven invasive histo. Methods We performed a retrospective review of adult patients with proven invasive histo from 2010–2018 at our institution. For inclusion purposes, histo was confirmed by either fungal culture and/or cytology. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics and results of fungal antigen testing for Histoplasma, Blastomyces, Aspergillus, Cryptococcus and β-d-glucan were evaluated. Two different urine Histoplasma antigen assays were used during the study period. Results 57 (31%) of 182 patients diagnosed with histo during the study period had culture or cytology evidence of disease and were included in all further analysis. Thirty-two (56%) of these patients were male, 35 (61.4%) were Caucasian and the mean age was 50.1 years. HIV (20; 35%) and being on immunosuppressive medications (21, 37%) were common in this population. The majority of cases were classified as disseminated histo (40, 70%) followed by acute pulmonary (10; 18%) and chronic pulmonary (7, 12%) disease. Results of fungal antigen testing are documented in the table. Chi-squared analysis was performed. Conclusion There is a frequent cross reaction of non-Histoplasma fungal tests in patients with histo. In our review, there was a high rate of cross reaction with Blastomyces antigen, which can be confusing in regions where both pathogens coexist. Elevation of β-d-glucan was high in these patients. Urine Histoplasma antigen sensitivity was higher with MiraVista testing for disseminated disease in our review. While noninvasive fungal tests are helpful in diagnosis of these infrequent infections, clinicians must still maintain knowledge of the clinical differences between these fungal pathogens and be aware of the limitations of these tests. A prospective study is needed to better define differences between individual Histoplasma tests. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Abstract

Summary: Background: While vaccines have established utility against COVID-19, phase 3 efficacy studies have generally not comprehensively evaluated protection provided by previous infection or hybrid immunity (previous infection plus vaccination). Individual patient data from US government-supported harmonized vaccine trials provide an unprecedented sample population to address this issue. We characterized the protective efficacy of previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and hybrid immunity against COVID-19 early in the pandemic over three-to six-month follow-up and compared with vaccine-associated protection. Methods: In this post-hoc cross-protocol analysis of the Moderna, AstraZeneca, Janssen, and Novavax COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials, we allocated participants into four groups based on previous-infection status at enrolment and treatment: no previous infection/placebo; previous infection/placebo; no previous infection/vaccine; and previous infection/vaccine. The main outcome was RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 >7–15 days (per original protocols) after final study injection. We calculated crude and adjusted efficacy measures. Findings: Previous infection/placebo participants had a 92% decreased risk of future COVID-19 compared to no previous infection/placebo participants (overall hazard ratio [HR] ratio: 0.08; 95% CI: 0.05–0.13). Among single-dose Janssen participants, hybrid immunity conferred greater protection than vaccine alone (HR: 0.03; 95% CI: 0.01–0.10). Too few infections were observed to draw statistical inferences comparing hybrid immunity to vaccine alone for other trials. Vaccination, previous infection, and hybrid immunity all provided near-complete protection against severe disease. Interpretation: Previous infection, any hybrid immunity, and two-dose vaccination all provided substantial protection against symptomatic and severe COVID-19 through the early Delta period. Thus, as a surrogate for natural infection, vaccination remains the safest approach to protection. Funding: National Institutes of Health.

Abstract

Este artículo aborda el concepto de nacionalismo del Partido Nacionalista de Puerto Rico. El partido sitúa la nación tanto en la entidad geográfica de la isla, como en el área política-cultural transnacional de América Latina. Para establecer que Puerto Rico era una nación, el partido se basó en la cultura, la historia, el idioma y la religión que la isla comparte con América Latina. Los Nacionalistas también vincularon la isla a América Latina para convencer a los puertorriqueños de que su historia y su futuro estaban con América Latina, no con los de los Estado Unidos. Este artículo también establece que el Partido Nacionalista consideraba que tanto los hombres como las mujeres constituyen la nación y tienen un papel fundamental que desempeñar en el logro de su liberación. Pedro Albizu Campos, el líder del Partido Nacionalista, alentó fuertemente a las mujeres para que ingresaran al partido lo cual muchas hicieron.

Abstract

This project, based in Newfoundland and Labrador's Central Regional Health Authority, is the first application of an 80/20 staffing model to a long-term care facility in Canada. The model allows nurse participants to spend 20% of their paid time pursuing a professional development activity instead of providing direct patient care. Newfoundland and Labrador has the highest aging demographic in Canada owing, in part, to the out-migration of younger adults. Recruiting and retaining nurses to work in long-term care in the province is difficult; at the same time, the increasing acuity of long-term care residents and their complex care needs mean that nurses must assume greater leadership roles in these facilities. This project set out to increase capacity for registered nurse (RN) leadership, training and support and to enhance the profile of long-term care as a place to work. Six RNs and one licensed practical nurse (LPN) participated and engaged in a range of professional development activities. Several of the participants are now pursuing further nursing educational activities. Central Health plans to continue a 90/10 model for one RN and one LPN per semester, with the timeframe to be determined. The model will be evaluated and, if it is deemed successful, the feasibility of implementing it in other sites throughout the region will be explored.

50. The U.S. Movement in Solidarity with Chile in the 1970s

Abstract

The international movement in solidarity with Chile that developed and flourished in the 1970s first emerged when the Unidad Popular government of Salvador Allende (1970—1973) was still in power but gained strength after the Chilean military overthrew the government and imposed the military dictatorship that ruled that country from 1973 to 1990. The power of the movement stems from the historical context in which it arose, the tremendous appeal exerted by the Allende government, North Americans’ familiarity with and support for the UP government, the outrage and horror many felt at the atrocities committed by the dictatorship, and the presence of Chilean political refugees in the United States. The work that the solidarity movement engaged in ranged from securing entry for political refugees and direct action against the Chilean ship Esmeralda to raising funds for the Chilean resistance through cultural programs. While political tensions among the refugees undermined the movement to a degree, the presence of the refugees brought their experience into the lives of North Americans and inspired them to support the Chilean resistance.
