6. Getting Latino Youth through High School: Aspirations and Family Support Can Offset Obstacles. New Journalism on Latino Children

Author

University of California, Berkeley. Institute of Human Development (IHD) and Rivera, Carla

Abstract

From the 3rd grade to the 11th grade, Jorge Martinez walked out of his front door each day hating the prospect of going to school. For most of those days, Martinez, now 17, was a target of bullies. But that was only half of it. There was discord at home. He says he was lazy and unmotivated, preferring to spend his time in front of the television, distracted from his troubles. As a result, he was failing most of his subjects with a 1.1 GPA. Jose Lara will soon be 17 but has only earned enough credits to be in the 9th grade. He has frequently dropped out or been suspended, spending more time out of school than in. The experiences of students like Martinez and Lara mirror those of others around the nation struggling to find their way. The hurdles are significant. The average Latino 25 and older has completed 11 years of schooling, compared to 14 years for Asians and whites and 13 years for blacks, according to a 2008 research paper by Francisco L. Rivera-Batiz, professor of economics and education at Teachers College, Columbia University. Latinos pay a steep price for leaving school: A 2007 report by the California Dropout Research Project found that, at age 20, the expected lifetime earnings for a Hispanic male dropout will be $598,000, versus $825,000 for a high school graduate. In trying to answer the question of why more Latinos drop out, researchers cite a combination of poverty, lack of literacy skills and low quality of schooling. Educators say that students do respond to intensive outreach, and a number of preventive programs nationwide are finding success. This paper discusses programs that work in increasing high school graduation rates and college attendance among Latinos. (Contains 5 resources.)

7. Giving Latino Children a Stronger Start. New Journalism on Latino Children

Author

University of California, Berkeley. Institute of Human Development (IHD) and Rivera, Carla

Abstract

Early Head Start serves newborns through toddlers. It is an offshoot of Head Start, the 44-year-old federal program for low-income children ages 3 through 5. Social scientists studying brain development and emotional growth increasingly identify early education as critical to preparing children for kindergarten. As well, researchers have linked it to a host of longer-term benefits to society, such as higher employment and lower crime rates. President Obama, arguing that early education is key to raising academic achievement, advanced new investments, including $1.1 billion in stimulus funds for Early Head Start, $1 billion for Head Start, and $8 billion for state early learning grants. But as the investment in early education increases nationwide, advocates express concern that Latino children may not reap the full benefits. Latino children are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population and, according to a study commissioned by the National Task Force on Early Childhood Education for Hispanics, will comprise more than a quarter of Americans 8 and younger by 2030. The good news, according to a 2006 survey conducted by the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute, is that Latino families value early education, and 96 percent said they would send their children to publicly funded programs if they were available. But parents must navigate a patchwork of programs, including Head Start, preschools, nursery schools and day care. The choices may be public or private; free, subsidized or pricey; educational or not.

Abstract

Aims Cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (CB-PVI) offers similar efficacy to point-by-point radiofrequency PVI for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but generally with higher X-ray exposure. Strategies aimed at reducing fluoroscopy mostly rely on other costly imaging techniques, limiting their applicability. We designed a Systematic Workflow and Electrogram guidance to reduce X-ray Exposure Time during CB-PVI (SWEET-Cryo) strategy and analysed its impact on fluoroscopy use and acute procedural and clinical outcomes. Methods and results We enrolled 100 patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF undergoing CB-PVI by two operators with different levels of expertise. Patients treated with the SWEET-Cryo strategy (prospective cohort; n = 50) or conventional fluoroscopy (retrospective control cohort; n = 50) were compared. When applied by the senior operator, the SWEET-Cryo strategy significantly reduced the mean fluoroscopy time (FT) (2.6 ± 1.25 vs. 20.3 ± 10.8 min) and mean dose area product (DAP) (5.1 ± 3.8 vs. 35.3 ± 22.3 Gy cm2) compared with those of the control group, respectively (P < 0.001). Significant reductions in FT (6.4 ± 2.5 min vs. 32.5 ± 10.05) and DAP (13.9 ± 7.7 vs. 92.3 ± 63.8) were also achieved by the less experienced operator (P < 0.001). No difference was observed in acute and long-term complications or freedom from AF between fluoroscopy strategies during a 33-month median follow-up. Mean FT was maintained below 3 min in randomly selected cases performed during the follow-up period. Conclusion In contrast to conventional protocols and regardless of the operator's experience, the optimized SWEET-Cryo strategy dramatically reduced fluoroscopy exposure during CB-PVI. The efficacy, safety, or added costs of the ablation procedure were not compromised. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Tesis-CEINDO, Universidad San Pablo CEU, Programa en Medicina Traslacional, leida el 15 de julio de 2019 Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar si parámetros obtenidos con minielectrodos (ME) podían predecir lesiones “satisfactorias”. Se incluyeron 33 pacientes. Se midieron voltajes de señal y umbrales de estimulación desde la configuración convencional (de 8 mm) y ME. Se midió el tiempo hasta la pérdida de captura desde el inicio de cada aplicación. Las lesiones fueron consideradas “satisfactorias” si había una disminución del voltaje de los electrogramas ≥ 54%. Se analizaron 107 aplicaciones. Hubo un descenso en el voltaje mayor en las medidas de los ME que en la configuración convencional (66.8 ± 26.1% vs 37.5 ± 42.5%, P = 0.001). Hubo un aumento del umbral en las determinaciones hechas con los ME frente a la configuración convencional (86.3 ± 22.9 % ME, 52.6 ± 35.6 % convencional, P= 0.001). Los voltajes de los ME previos a la ablación fueron significativamente mayores y los umbrales significativamente menores en aquellas “lesiones satisfactoria” (voltaje 0.88 ± 0.71 vs 0.26 ± 0.18 mV, P=0.0001; umbral 1.6 ± 1.7 vs 2.8 ± 3.o mA, P = 0.04). Las curvas ROC determinaron como puntos de corte 0.33 mV y umbral < 1.5 mA con una sensiblidad de 0.78 y 0.6 y especificidad de 0.78 y 0.59 respectivamente.

Abstract

Màster universitari en Estudis Avançats en Arquitectura (BarcelonaArch) -- Urbanisme En pleno siglo XX, en una ciudad ubicada en el corazón de la Selva Amazónica, bajo circunstancias que están ligadas a las fluctuaciones de sus ríos y al desplazamiento de su gente, empezó a germinar de manera espontánea, un pueblo con características particulares. Al mismo tiempo que acontecían cambios en su soporte físico se iba dando su expansión. El barrio de Belén desde sus inicios ha mantenido un constante diálogo con su contexto, viviendo entre la tierra y el agua, buscando el equilibrio entre el ritmo de vida urbano y las corrientes fluviales. Autoformándose bajo un conocimiento intuitivo sobre su territorio, ha ido tomando forma a través de arquitecturas tradicionales que responden a patrones de conducta regidas por la temporalidad. Es decir, según en qué temporada se esté, nos permite andar por sus orillas o navegar entre sus calles. Pues en los cambios de su territorio tanto cronológicos como cíclicos, se da la desintegración de los límites urbanos, los que después con el cambio de temporada, pasan a regenerarse en ese espacio llamado “orilla”. Un espacio que a través de sus fluctuaciones se abre a la posibilidad de interacción y cambio. En definitiva, un espacio lleno de yuxtaposiciones y maneras de encuentro entre el mundo antrópico y natural. Un barrio anfibio que presenta como requisito fundamental de vida; la transformación constante.

Abstract

Bakgrund: Under vår tid på lärarutbildningen och på vår verksamhetsförlagda utbildning har vi sett att den icke-västerländska skönlitteraturens roll i skolan är näst intill obefintlig. Vi menar att om eleverna får ta del av denna icke-västerländska litteratur får de kanske en ny inblick i och förståelse för andra kulturer. Hur skall dessa elever få upplysning om icke-västerländsk litteratur? Denna litteratur skall ingå i gymnasieskolorna enligt läroplanerna. På grund av den tillsynes låga status som den har i skolan, blev vi intresserade av att undersöka detta och hur detta påverkar lärarens undervisning. Syfte: Vårt syfte är att undersöka om och hur svenskläraren i gymnasieskolorna använder sig av icke-västerländsk litteratur, såsom sydamerikansk, afrikansk och österländsk, i undervisningen. Vi vill också se om det finns ett mönster i litteraturundervisningen inom svensklärarutbildningen. Vidare ville vi undersöka hur detta eventuella mönster kan påverka den nyutexaminerade lärarens val av litteratur i undervisningen på gymnasiet. Metod: Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ metod då vi har intervjuat tio svensklärare på gymnasieskolor. Resultat: Vi har kommit fram till att den icke-västerländska litteraturen är obefintlig i svenskämnets undervisning på gymnasiet. Orsakerna är lärarnas bristande utbildning inom den icke-västerländska litteraturen, men även kurs- och läroplanernas utformning för högskolan/universitet är en orsak till detta. Litteraturvalet ser olika ut beroende på val av program, det vill säga de praktiska och teoretiska programmen.

Abstract

The Central America Four (CA-4) region, comprising Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, is the largest low- and middle-income country region in the Western Hemisphere, with over 36 million inhabitants. The CA-4 nations share a common geography, history, language, and development indices, and unified with open borders in 2006. The growing CA-4 cancer burden among the noncommunicable diseases is expected to increase 73% by 2030, which argues for a regional approach to cancer control. This has driven efforts to establish population-based cancer registries as a central component of the cancer control plans. The involvement of international and academic partners in an array of initiatives to improve cancer information and control in the CA-4 has accelerated over the past several years. Existing data underscore that the infectious cancers (cervical, stomach, and liver) are a particular burden. All four countries have committed to establishing regional population-based cancer registries and have advanced significantly in pediatric cancer registration. The challenges common to each nation include the lack of national cancer control plans and departments, competing health priorities, lack of trained personnel, and sustainability strategies. General recommendations to address these challenges are outlined. The ongoing regional, international, and academic cooperation has proven helpful and is expected to continue to be a powerful instrument to contribute to the design and implementation of long-term national cancer control plans.

Abstract

Aims A specialized three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D-TOE) reconstruction tool has recently been introduced; the system automatically configures a geometric model of the aortic root from the images obtained by 3D-TOE and performs quantitative analysis of these structures. The aim of this study was to compare the measurements of the aortic annulus (AA) obtained by the new model to that obtained by 3D-TOE and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in candidates to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and to assess the reproducibility of this new method. Methods and results We included 31 patients who underwent TAVI. The AA diameters and area were evaluated by the manual 3D-TOE method and by the automatic software. We showed an excellent correlation between the measurements obtained by both methods: intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC): 0.731 (0.508-0.862), r: 0.742 for AA diameter and ICC: 0.723 (0.662-0.923), r: 0.723 for the AA area, with no significant differences regardless of the method used. The inter-observer variability was superior for the automatic measurements than for the manual ones. In a subgroup of 10 patients, we also found an excellent correlation between the automatic measurements and those obtained by MDCT, ICC: 0.941 (0.761 -0.985), r: 0.901 for AA diameter and ICC: 0.853 (0.409-0.964), r: 0.744 for the AA area. Conclusion The new automatic 3D-TOE software allows modelling and quantifying the aortic root from 3D-TOE data with high reproducibility. There is good correlation between the automated measurements and other 3D validated techniques. Our results support its use in clinical practice as an alternative to MDCT previous to TAVI.
