The instructional scheduling arrangements of simulated and community-based instruction across an equivalent set of functional and vocational skills were examined. Five secondary age students with moderate intellectual disabilities participated in four instructional scheduling arrangements measuring skill acquisition, generalization, and maintenance of functional tasks. The four instructional scheduling arrangements examined were simulated-only instruction (SOI), community-based instruction only (CBI), combination of SOI and CBI on consecutive school days (CCD), and combination of SOI and CBI on the same school day (CSD). The CSD schedule was significantly more effective for student acquisition performance than SOI, CBI, and CCD schedules. Although the CBI schedule resulted in the fewest number of instructional sessions for students to acquire the targeted skill, fewer sessions for skill generalization were required for students during the combined simulation and community instruction CSD schedule. Overall, both combined instructional scheduling arrangements (e.g., CCD, CSD) produced more efficient outcomes for generalization than SOI and CBI scheduling arrangements.

In this paper, a two-level search strategy fused with an improved no-fit polygon algorithm and improved bat algorithm is proposed to obtain the layout points of multiple vehicles. Additionally, a space-time scheduling strategy is proposed using the Improved D*Lite Algorithm (ID*Lite) and improved Bezier curve to generate the trajectories of individual vehicles. Furthermore, a conflict resolution strategy is introduced to address the collision conflict problem during multi-vehicle scheduling.

Context: About half of adolescents aged 13 to 17 in United States are not fully vaccinated against human papillomavirus (HPV). As they age into young adulthood, colleges may be an excellent target population nexus for implementing interventions to improve HPV vaccination uptake.
Objectives: Our study goal was to generate knowledge about HPV vaccine offerings and awareness programs at colleges to ascertain the extent of campus-facilitated access to HPV immunization and education in 1 state.

Introduction: Maternal health service (MHS) use is a key strategy to reduce maternal mortality. However, evidence is scarce in designing efficient intervention strategies in Ethiopia. Thus, we aimed to explore community members and healthcare providers' perceptions of MHS and barriers and facilitators of MHS use in southern Ethiopia.

This article focuses on an empirical setting that upends the clinician-patient dyadic norm: group medical visits (GMVs), in which multiple patients gather in the same space for medical care, health education and peer support. Our grounded theory analysis draws on participant observation and interviews (N = 53) with patients and staff of GMVs at four safety-net healthcare organisations in the United States. We delineate (1) how group medical visits provide health-focused social networks that facilitate the mobilisation of social capital, (2) how the organisationally embedded relationships that comprise group visits are made possible through extended time that is part of the GMV field and (3) how clinicians have opportunities rarely found in other settings to learn from patients, using knowledge accrued from GMV networks to advance their own skills, thereby converting social capital into provider cultural health capital.

Article Synopsis
- * Results showed that nurses had generally poor sleep quality, especially those on night shifts, and the shortest sleep duration was reported by those on day shifts.
- * The findings highlight the need to consider sleep patterns when scheduling shifts, particularly for night shift workers, to ensure they receive adequate rest.
