The Practising Midwife
|December 31, 2013
Summary
Senior midwifery students can undertake unique professional development placements. This reflective account details a three-week clinical placement at Royal Air Force (RAF) Akrotiri in Cyprus, offering valuable insights into military midwifery practice.
Area of Science:
- Midwifery Education
- Professional Development
- Clinical Placements
Background:
- Glasgow Caledonian University's midwifery program offers final-year students unique professional development opportunities.
- Students can undertake a planned, negotiated three-week independent clinical placement.
- This placement allows exploration of unfamiliar aspects of midwifery practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a reflective account of a self-initiated clinical placement.
- To explore professional development within a military healthcare setting.
- To combine personal experience as a military wife with senior midwifery student training.
Main Methods:
- A reflective account of a three-week independent clinical placement.
- Placement undertaken at Royal Air Force (RAF) Akrotiri, Cyprus.
- Focus on professional development in an atypical midwifery setting.
Main Results:
- The placement provided an unusual professional development experience for a senior midwifery student.
- Integration of personal experience (military wife) with professional training was achieved.
- Exploration of midwifery practice in a unique, non-traditional environment.
Conclusions:
- Self-initiated clinical placements offer valuable and unique professional development opportunities.
- Midwifery students can benefit from placements in diverse settings, such as military bases.
- Combining personal and professional experiences can enhance learning and career development in midwifery.

01:17Thermal Electrocyclic Reactions: Stereochemistry
1.6K
The stereochemistry of electrocyclic reactions is strongly influenced by the orbital symmetry of the polyene HOMO. Under thermal conditions, the reaction proceeds via the ground-state HOMO.
Selection Rules: Thermal Activation
Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.

01:26Photochemical Electrocyclic Reactions: Stereochemistry
1.4K
The absorption of UV–visible light by conjugated systems causes the promotion of an electron from the ground state to the excited state. Consequently, photochemical electrocyclic reactions proceed via the excited-state HOMO rather than the ground-state HOMO. Since the ground- and excited-state HOMOs have different symmetries, the stereochemical outcome of electrocyclic reactions depends on the mode of activation; i.e., thermal or photochemical.

Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.

Primary care promotes wellness and prevents disease. This care includes health promotion, education, protection (such as immunizations), early disease screening, and environmental considerations. Settings providing this type of healthcare include physician offices, public health clinics, school nursing, and community health nursing.

Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although...

01:26Thermal and Photochemical Electrocyclic Reactions: Overview
2.1K
Electrocyclic reactions are reversible reactions. They involve an intramolecular cyclization or ring-opening of a conjugated polyene. Shown below are two examples of electrocyclic reactions. In the first reaction, the formation of the cyclic product is favored. In contrast, in the second reaction, ring-opening is favored due to the high ring strain associated with cyclobutene formation.
