Both United States Japan have suffered multiple natural disasters since 21st century began: Hurricanes Sandy (2012) Katrina (2005) in an 8.9 magnitude earthquake (2011) occurred Japan. Immediately after these devastating disasters, victims needed shelter, water, food, blankets. However, 2 to 3 weeks they support more than material supplies as cope with effects trauma. Hope...

<p>This study evaluates the potential of Boston Ivy (<em>Parthenocissus tricuspidata</em>) to reduce building surface temperature in a mid-latitude North American city center where vine use for this purpose is uncommon. Vegetation can regulate summer temperatures by providing shade and evaporative cooling. While planting trees has been focus many urban municipalities, require space (above below ground), access water, costly maintenance, may only be desirable some residents....

Abstract Objectives To assess the impact of oral dextrose gel (ODG) treatment on NICU admission rates for hypoglycemic infants in a well-baby nursery. Study design We retrospectively compared newborn at risk hypoglycemia born during intervention period ( n = 3775) with historical controls 655). also primary outcome (NICU admission) and secondary outcomes (exclusive breastfeeding hospital costs) between two periods. Results Following implementation ODG supplementation, admissions dropped from...

This critical reflection explores the role academic libraries play in enhancing research culture of their institutions, specifically relation to Open Research, through two contrasting case studies work undertaken by University Waikato Library, Aotearoa, New Zealand, and Lancaster UK. A prevalent theme within paper is level maturity engagement with Research at national, governmental, institutional levels impact this has on approaches both institutions. The demonstrates how proactively...

The use of sepsis risk scores (SRSs), calculated based on the neonatal early-onset (EOS) calculator, has been shown to limit unwarranted evaluations and reduce empirical antibiotics in neonates.s.To both evaluation rate (SER) antibiotic initiation (AIR) by 25% from baseline incorporating conservative SRS cutoff values into routine assessment well-appearing neonates born at 34 weeks older gestation.During a pre quality improvement (QI) period (June 2016-August 2016), QI team all newborn...

Research Libraries UK is a consortium of 37 the and Ireland's largest research libraries with purpose convening its members around key issues that affect them, to represent their collective voice, support them as they face shared challenges, be an effective advocate on behalf. In fulfilment these roles, RLUK launched digital shift manifesto in May 2020, which provides vision for library 2030 - relation occurring within collections, services, operations, audience interactions. Centred four...

In Spring 2016 the University of York launched a research project to better understand academic staff. Ambitiously titled 'Understanding Academics' centred around use specific ethnographic methodologies and in particular two UX techniques: cognitive mapping followed by semi-structured interviews. The put academics at centre interviews, focussing on what they wanted talk about rather than working through pre-determined set questions. Following five-stage methodology for managing analysing...

Across the globe universities are reckoning with issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. In Aotearoa (New Zealand), conversations have centered around decolonization indigenization to assist diversifying workforce, reducing inequities building inclusive cultures. This article presents case studies from three libraries their steps toward indigenization. While each is traversing a unique path, at different stages, they share common themes. Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty Waitangi) forms...

This exploratory study was embedded in a formative process for the purposes of improving content delivery to an evidence-based practice class, and students' performance on comprehensive exam. A learning teaching model utilized by faculty from three-university collaborative graduate social work program examine extent which course texts assignments explicitly supported process, application, evaluation practices. The grounded culture, allowing each share their collective skills knowledge across...

This study reports on the use of poetry in a university educational model developed to facilitate communication about diversity.

Shading and evapotranspirative cooling by vegetation are important controls on moderating rise in city temperatures mitigating urban heat islands. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the potential Boston ivy (Parthenocissus tricuspidata) mitigate warming building surface temperature an core. Temperature loggers were placed vine-shaded non-shaded walls Toronto, Canada collect over a six-month period. During peak solar access periods, average differentials up 6.5 °C 7.0 for south...

This article follows the publication of a previous which discussed outcomes Understanding Academics research project (2016-2017) sought to better understand academic staff at University York. The centred around use specific ethnographic methodologies and in particular two UX techniques: cognitive mapping followed by semi-structured interviews. focuses on key themes emerged from that now underpin new Library strategy: space, scholarship skills.

Qualitative research methods are appropriate for researching the features and outcomes of poetry therapy. This study examines use qualitative in It was found that matrices (Miles & Huberman, 1994) could be used effectively to identify emerging themes across both existing participant-produced poems, note similarities differences evaluate outcomes. The present article is based upon author's her dissertation (Blake, 1998).
