ACTUAL AND OPTIMAL AMOUNTS OF GENERAL EDUCATION IN OCCUPATIONAL PROGRAMS     

Richard M. Romano 《Community College Journal of Research & Practice》2013,37(3):153-164

This article explores three different ways of approaching the question posed in its title: 1) age‐earnings profiles; 2) the present value of lifetime earnings; and 3) the rate of return on investment in schooling. While the lifetime income of a 2‐year graduate probably falls somewhere between that of a high school graduate and one with a 4‐year degree, under certain conditions, the payoff from a 2‐year degree may be higher than of a 4‐year degree  相似文献   

Continuing Education Module Transforming Maternity Care: Implementing the Blueprint for Action     

Amy M. Romano 《The Journal of perinatal education》2012,21(3):145-148

In January 2010, Women’s Health Issues published two direction-setting reports from the Transforming Maternity Care (TMC) Project: “2020 Vision for a High-Quality, High-Value Maternity Care System” and “Blueprint for Action: Steps Toward a High-Quality, High-Value Maternity Care System.” This guest editorial summarizes highlights of the implementation phase of what is now known as the TMC Partnership. Major progress has been made in elevating maternity care quality to a national policy priority, increasing the availability and use of maternity care performance measures, and developing shared decision making tools for childbearing women.  相似文献

ObjectiveTo assess long-lasting effects of childhood trauma on the functional outcome of adult patients diagnosed with schizophrenia.MethodNinety-nine stable patients with schizophrenia followed in an outpatient program at a public university hospital in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil, were investigated for childhood traumatic experiences by the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) and for functional impairment by the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHO/DAS). The schizophrenia diagnosis was assessed by ICD-10 and DSM-IV criteria according to the Operational Criteria Checklist for Psychotic Illness (OPCRIT).ResultsChildhood trauma in general was associated with increased disability in adulthood, reflected by impaired Overall Behavior (p = .023) and Global Evaluation (p = .032). Analysis of specific traumatic domains revealed that increased childhood physical neglect was associated with functional impairment in Overall Behavior (p < .000), Social Role Performance (p = .037) and Global Evaluation (p = .014). Higher emotional abuse was associated with impaired Overall Behavior (p = .026), and higher emotional neglect with poor Global Evaluation (p = .047). Additionally, earlier onset of illness was associated with lower level of functioning evidenced by impairment in Overall Behavior (p = .042). Linear regression using WHO/DAS sections (Overall Behavior, Social Role Performance and Global Evaluation) as dependent variables and CTQ subscales indicated that only physical neglect had an effect on adult functionality.ConclusionsChildhood trauma was associated with functional and social impairment in adult patients with schizophrenia. Specific types of abuse and neglect, such as physical neglect and emotional abuse and neglect, influenced disability, and the most robust association was physical neglect. Studies involving more patients, with normal controls and additional measurements of biological liability, should be conducted to confirm this association and to increase the understanding of gene-environment relationship in schizophrenia and pathways to disability.Practice implicationsFurther investigation is warranted to clarify the association between childhood trauma and disability in schizophrenia, as well as to develop standardized instruments for the assessment of trauma and earlier detection of risk along with education of patients and families about adequate care, in an effort to reduce the incidence of disability in schizophrenia.  相似文献   

没有哪种印刷方式能够主导未来     

Frank Romano 《桌面出版与设计》2008,(10):2-4

550年来,我们一直在寻找最好的印刷生产方式,这导致现在已经有30多种复制设备。现代的印刷机多是8页（页-A4,下同）或更大幅面的,大多数数码印刷机则是4页以下的幅面。对于数字印后设备装订的书籍和文件而言是适用的,但未必对杂志、目录和其他产品有效。  相似文献

In this column, the author summarizes four research studies relevant to normal birth. The topics of the studies summarized include the effect of obstetrician anxiety on cesarean surgery rates, the risks of routine membrane sweeping, beneficial effects of doula care for middle-class women, and the lack of reliability of continuous electronic fetal monitoring tracings.  相似文献   

Safe and healthy birth: the importance of data     

Romano AM 《The Journal of perinatal education》2010,19(4):52-58

In this column, the author reprises recent selections from the Lamaze International research blog, Science & Sensibility. Each selection discusses the mismatch between data commonly collected at the time of birth and the data needed to measure optimal care for physiologic birth. Selections include the importance of documenting duration of skin-to-skin contact after birth, the role of qualitative research in improving care in the second stage of labor, and pitfalls of meta-analyzing data on the safety of planned home birth.  相似文献   

They Said So on the News: Parsing Media Reports About Birth     

Amy M. Romano  Andrea Lythgoe  Henci Goer 《The Journal of perinatal education》2010,19(1):47-52

In this column, the authors reprise recent selections from the Lamaze International research blog, Science & Sensibility. Each selection discusses shortcomings in the news media coverage of childbirth issues. The authors demonstrate how to identify misleading claims in the media and highlight how childbirth educators can apply a common-sense approach and careful fact checking to help women understand the whole story.  相似文献
