In this paper the authors conduct the study based on trade hindrances instead of trade achievements with the approaches of IPE based on the assumption: the tenser of trade-ties, the deeper the political dimension involved and the more delicate the relationship between Economy and Politics projected to be.

Instead of putting forth feasible resolution to these issues, the main feature of this paper lies in the analysis of trade issues in combination with the approaches of International political economy.

Com o trabalho o objetivo é analisar os substratos formados pela associação de doses de composto de lixo urbano e composto de poda de árvore, em condição de irrigação com água residuária e potável, nas características biométricas e na composição química foliar das mudas de Tabebuia heptaphylla. O delineamento experimental adotado foi em blocos casualizados em um esquema fatorial 8x2, sendo oito combinações de substratos (S): T1 (100% substrato comercial); T2 (100% C.P.A.); T3 (5% C.L. + 95% C.P.A.); T4 (10% C.L. + 90% C.P.A.); T5 (20% C.L. + 80% C.P.A.); T6 (40% C.L. + 60% C.P.A.); T7 (60% C.L. + 40% C.P.A.); e T8 (100% C.L.), associadas a irrigações com dois tipos de água (residuária e potável). As variáveis avaliadas foram: altura da parte aérea, diâmetro do coleto, massa de matéria seca da parte aérea e análise química foliar para determinação da concentração de macronutrientes. Os tratamentos que proporcionaram o melhor desenvolvimento das mudas de Tabebuia heptaphylla, foram os tratamentos 4 (10% CL + 90% CPA), 5 (20% CL + 80% CPA) e 6 (40% CL + 60% CPA). Sendo assim, os resultados permitem concluir que as combinações entre o composto de árvore e de lixo proporcionam resultados satisfatórios no desenvolvimento das mudas e que a utilização da água residuária influencia positivamente no desenvolvimento destas. / It is important to study organic compounds in the production of T. heptaphylla seedlings, especially with problematic considered as waste compounds to urban waste -based and plant remains derived from tree pruning, as well as the type of irrigation water used. The aim of this work was to analyze the biometric characteristics and the chemical composition of T. heptaphylla seedlings developed on different substrates formed by the association between different doses of urban waste compounds (CL) and compost of prunings trees (CPA) in irrigation condition with wastewater and drinking water. The experimental design was a randomized block in a 8x2 factorial design, with eight different combinations of substrates (S): S1 (100%) commercial substrate); S2 (C.P.A. 100%); S3 (5% + 95% C.L. C.P.A.); S4 (10% + 90% C.L. C.P.A.); S5 (20% + 80% C.L. C.P.A.); S6 (40% + 60% C.L. C.P.A.); S7 (60% + 40% C.L. C.P.A.); and S8 (100% C.L.) and with irrigation with two types of water (wastewater and potable). We evaluated the shoot height, stem diameter and leaf analysis to determine the concentration of macronutrients. Treatments that provided the best development of Tabebuia heptaphylla were treatments 4 (10% CL + 90 % CPA ), 5 (20 % CL + 80 % CPA) and 6 ( 40 % CL + 60 % CPA ) . The results obtained allow to conclude that the combination of the compound of tree and garbage provide satisfactory results development of the seedlings and the use of wastewater positively influences the development of these.

This thesis elaborates a decolonial international political economy (IPE) as a means of examining the condition of market emergence in Indonesia. It presents the term ‘emerging market’ as the contemporary organising grammar which positions Indonesia in relation to international capital flows. This condition of market emergence is further understood in historical colonial perspective as the latest mode of producing Indonesia as an investible site for international capital. My expansion of decolonial IPE is made in this thesis through the analysis of difference-based ‘exclusion’ and ‘translation’, both as vital elements of coloniality and as processes which relate to accumulation and dispossession in an ‘emerging market’ context. I go on to make the case for bringing urban and rural terminable sites of extraction into the same frame of analysis. These are understood similarly here as internal frontiers along which social groups are materially and discursively excluded from the national emerging market project and thus rendered expropriatable. I further analyse the repeated dispossession of these expropriatable groups along with other means of enacting ‘translations’, or enforced alterations in ways of being. These translations are by no means passively accepted and my analysis further demonstrates various means by which these are negotiated and contested. This thesis therefore makes contributions to the literature on decolonial thought and IPE, at the same time as presenting an original examination of Indonesia in its present moment of market emergence. / Doctorat en Sciences politiques et sociales / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

One policy reaction of the Federal Reserve to the 2008 financial crisis was the extension of currency swap lines to various foreign central banks; this constituted the global transfer of billions of US dollars of wealth and exhibited the role of the US as a global lender of last resorts. Some have attempted to explain the supply of these lines as a function of risk mitigation for domestic US banks with foreign holdings, but no one has yet investigated the social dynamics of this phenomenon. In recognizing that the global demand for emergency liquidity was greater than the Federal Reserve’s supply, this paper investigates how the similarity of foreign central banks affected the selection of which banks would receive liquidity extensions. I calculate similarity scores to the US Federal Reserve for foreign banks which applied for liquidity extensions during the crisis. These scores measure the textual similarity of foreign central bankers’ speeches to those of the Fed, the institutional design similarity to that of the Fed, and the similarity of foreign central banks’ governors’ educational and professional backgrounds to those of the 2008 Federal Open Markets Commission members. I find that the similarity of foreign central banks to the US with regard to these three criteria offers a significantly stronger and statistically more robust answer to the question of what drove this decision process, and offer implications for international regulatory mechanisms to ameliorate this tendency toward social homophily.

Evidence has been generated and synthesized to support enhanced outcomes in healthcare environments supportive of interprofessional practice. Despite the preponderance of evidence, many health professions education programs do not prepare their students for interprofessional practice. Multiple factors influence the integration of interprofessional education into a program’s curricular offerings including availability of potential partnering professions, conflicting schedules, lack of curricular alignment, and logistical challenges. This manuscript describes initiatives and innovations used to replace health profession and institutional silos with interprofessional and cross-institutional collaboration in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. While the initial point of connection involved the administrators and faculty members from Texas Christian University and the University of North Texas Health Science Center collaborating to create interprofessional training opportunities for health professions students, this collaboration continues to generate new innovations and cooperative initiatives. These initiatives include research projects supported by significant external funding awards and a decision by the leaders of the two institutions to collaborate to develop a new medical school.

ETSU implemented the first year of a 2-year longitudinal IPE experience within the five colleges of the ETSU Academic Health Sciences Center (AHSC). The four educational competencies of IPEC were used to create experience threads. Each semester two experience threads are covered; one consists of a simulation experience to practice the foundational principles in a safe environment, and the other a field experience to implement the foundational principle in a clinical setting.The majority of the content for experience threads and simulation experiences were implemented for three cohorts of students, however, field experiences continued to lack engagement and appropriate focus. This poster will show that redesigning the approach for identifying protected IPE time, restructuring the Community Engagement Working Group, providing tools to increase student engagement and improving communication of site expectations, led to a successful pilot program that assisted with integration of the clinical environment into the first year of the longitudinal experience.Early feedback led to increased and timelier communication between site leaders and faculty facilitators, and more curricular exposure for site leaders. When comparing fall (N=224) and spring (N=157) semesters, the student evaluation of the field experience showed an increase in student engagement and satisfaction. Spring (N=47) faculty evaluations rated the clinical sites more appropriate to meet the needs of the community engagement opportunity than they had in the fall Semester (N=44). The patient sharing their story and interacting with the team members were a key factor in faculty and student satisfaction.The clinical environment can be integrated into the core IPE curriculum with appropriate planning, communication and resources.

Occupational therapy (OT) and applied behavior analysis (ABA) practitioners often collaborate when working with children and young adults with disabilities (McGinnis, 2013). OT and ABA practitioners are primed to collaborate due to many areas of overlap among each respective scope of practice; however, there is limited research to guide best practice for this collaborative partnership (Welch & Polatajko, 2016). According to a review of OT and ABA literature, in addition to the literature of other community-based, social services, and health care professions, there are four major barriers to interprofessional collaboration (IPC): (1) biases, (2) differing cultures, values, and professional languages, (3) overlaps in scopes of practice, and (4) poor communication and relationship-building skills (Kim et al., 2016; Peck & Norman, 1999; Rice et al., 2010). Due to a limited amount of accessible OT and ABA training interventions on collaboration, there is a need for an online, interactive, educational training to present evidence-based and theoretically-sound solutions for the barriers to collaboration. The proposed program is called Supporting Interprofessional Partnerships: An Educational Training for Collaboration Between Occupational Therapy and Applied Behavior Analysis Practitioners. The program’s educational content targets: (1) the definition, benefits, and barriers to IPC, (2) context-based information on ABA’s culture, values, professional language, and scope of practice, and (3) strategies to improve collaboration with ABA providers. Supporting Interprofessional Partnerships explores the working relationship between OT and ABA to improve collaboration as well as client, family, provider, and organizational outcomes.

<p>American IPE has traditionally marginalized the role that social forces, and particularly religion, have played in the construction of the international political economy. This dissertation is an examination into the foreign economic relations of the Republic of Indonesia from the perspective of the British school of International Political Economy (IPE). British IPE is used to critically assess what role, if any, the religion of Islam has had in the construction of Indonesia’s foreign economic relations. This research demonstrates that Islamic social forces have influenced the political debates that construct Indonesia’s foreign economic relationships. Mainstream Islamic organizations pushed the state to engage with international institutions of trade and finance throughout the pre-independence period when Indonesian national identity was being forged, as well as during the parliamentary democracy that followed independence, and into Sukarno’s “Guided Democracy.” The trend from the Suharto era to the early twenty-first has been the appropriation of Islamic discourse by the state to legitimize its economic policies of engagement with the international political economy. Firstly, this dissertation challenges the dismissal of religious social forces as a salient dimension of the international political economy that is implicit to the American school of IPE. Secondly, the findings of this dissertation challenge the narratives of mainstream International Relations (IR) theory that interprets political Islam as a destabilizing force in international order.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

The problem exists that there are no education initiatives focused on teaching and taking into practice the skills of effective interprofessional discourse in this online, asynchronous, professional environment. The purpose of this study was to examine whether it is possible for students in the health professions to learn to practice effective interprofesssional online discourse in an electronic health record. This was a mixed methods study that included both quantitative ad qualitative inquiry underpinned by post positivism and used a method triangulation research design model. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed from an educational intervention and simulated electronic health record exercise. The students' perceptions of their practice in an electronic health record did not necessarily match their knowledge and skills in this group of students. Emergent themes from the study pointed in the possible direction of perceived value of the exercise, prior experience in an electronic health record, and logistical barriers to the activity. Perceived time constraints was a particularly strong concern of the students. The emergent themes might be valuable considerations for other interprofessional programs looking to implement similar activities concerning the electronic health record.
