Stress and burnout in libraries & information centers

Stress has been variously defined by popular sources and researchers. A useful construct positions stress and burnout on continuum. In recent years, psychologists have become interested in the study on phenomenon known as, burnout. Burnout is an occupational stress. In organizations, different factors cause stress. One of the immediate outcomes of psychological stress is phenomenon of burn out. Some of the causing agents of burn out, of burn out are presence of severe and improper working condition at organization, improper leadership style practices in the organization and marital status. In this regard, due to development of new technology, information explosion, reduction of finance, lack of professional staff, immediate change at execute posts, specially chiefs of libraries and not using trained librarians caused which stress on the library staff which is followed by reduction of performance, job change, interferences (frustration), pre-term retirement, frequent lack of illness, burnout syndrome, consequently, in search of jobs and having official and executives roles. When there is no job stress for the librarians, they can do these most effort, stress free environment, would result in the acceleration of performance and efficacy. In this condition, proper management can no irradiate burnout. Material and Methods: This research designed and performed for the librarians employed in the libraries affiliated to Mazandaran and Babol Medical Sciences in Mazandaran Province in the North of Iran. Data were collected in the questionnaire designed for different questions. Results: 19 people were married and 11 people unmarried. Most of the participants had bachelor degree holder and 14 permanent (official elopement) employed. It is note worthy that 53.3 % of participants suffered stress (burnout). Since this study is going on, in case of acceptance the results will submit later, with detail and completed. Very little, however, has been done to measure the effectiveness of these remedies in preventing, improving, or eliminating the problem of burnout in these professionals. Conclusion: There is growing research supporting the existence of burnout among academic librarians. Many suggestions to prevent, or remedy, this condition in librarians, some of them addressed specifically to help the academic librarians, have been considered and appear promising. Proffered solutions are targeted at both the individual level, and at a level deemed more effective by most researchers, the organizational level, which includes the broadest level, that of society itself. Very little, however, has been done to measure the effectiveness of these remedies in preventing, improving, or eliminating the problem of burnout in these professionals.
Computing Long-Distance Dependencies in Vowel Harmony

This article develops an explicit procedural model of vowel harmony, and takes steps toward finding a lower bound on the computational power of phonological rules. The focus on formalization and procedural computation allows for simplification in models of representation and the discovery of interesting interactions involving the conditions in rules. It is shown that locality principles are derivable, which motivates the elimination of iterative rule application advocated here. Along the way, a novel analysis of neutral vowels in harmony processes is also provided.

Wireless technology and clinical influences in healthcare setting: an Indian case study

This chapter argues that current techniques used in the domain of Information Systems is not adequate for establishing determinants of wireless technology in a clinical setting. Using data collected from India, this chapter conducted a first order regrssion modeling (factor analysis) and then a second order regression modeling (SEM) to establish the determinants of clinical influences as a result of using wireless technology in healthcare settings. As information systems professionals, the authors conducted a qualitative data collection to understand the domain prior to employing a quantitative technique, thus providing rigour as well as personal relevance. The outcomes of this study has clearly established that there are a number of influences such as the organisational factors in determining the technology acceptance and provides evidence that trivial factors such as perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness are no longer acceptable as the factors of technology acceptance.

Lexical density and readability: A case study of English Textbooks

known as Active Skill for Reading (Anderson, 2003a, 2003b, 2003c, 2003d) at elementary, preintermediate, intermediate and upper-intermediate levels. The study applied three methods in determining lexical density and readability as proposed by Halliday (1985), Ure (1971) and Flesch (1948). The analysis revealed that three of the four reading texts were of high lexical density, apart from the text for upper-intermediate level. In terms of readability, the levels of texts corresponded to readability levels. However the highest level did not entail the topmost readability. There was little evidence of an increase of lexical density and readability in accordance with the increase of text levels as well as little indication relating to the connections between text levels, readability and lexical density. With reference to the methods employed, Halliday’s measurement of lexical density - based on the clause - had a significant correlation with Ure’s measurement, and a medium relation with Flesch’s Reading Ease Scale, whereas Ure and Flesch’s formulas showed no correlation.
A comparative study on awareness about immunization in urban-rural mothers.

Universal Immunization Programme aims at completing primary immunization for all infants before they complete one year of age. Preventable infections are major cause of childhood mortality and morbidity in South Asia. Research question: To assess and compare the awareness about immunization among urban and rural mothers. Setting: Rural and Urban health training centres attached to Department of Community Medicine SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital Dharwad Study design: Cross-sectional Participants: Mothers of children aged between 12 and 23months attending health centres. Methods: Data was collected for period of two months by administering structured and pre tested questionnaire to eligible mothers registered at urban and rural health training centres. Statistical analysis used: Descriptive statistics using IBMSPSS 20.0 Results: Awareness regarding DPT BCG HBV Measles was significantly higher [p<0.001] in Urban population. Awareness regarding the schedule for administering BCG was highest and HBV lowest among all mothers in both areas. ANM ASHA Anganwadi workers were the main source of information regarding immunization. Higher educational status played significant role in awareness about day of immunization in both areas.
Tracking of spoilage and pathogenic microbes in poultry meat from local retail markets of Jammu.

To assess microbiological quality of poultry meat samples were collected from various retail shops of Jammu. Breast meat with skin and without skin was selected for sampling. The aim of this study was: (i) to evaluate standard plate count (SPC), psychrotrophic count (PTC), Enterococcus feacalis count (EFC), Staphylococcus aureus count (SAC) and Escherichia coli count (ECC) and (ii) the presence of Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes; Breast meat with skin samples had higher (P<0.01) SPC, PTC, EFC, and SAC than breast meat without skin. However E.coli was recovered from 72.4% breast meat with skin and 29.6% breast meat without skin samples. The prevalence rate of Salmonella spp. was 8.96% in breast meat with skins, whereas, 2.52% in breast meat without skin sample was found to be positive. L.monocytogenes recovered from breast meat with skin sample (0.92%). These finding suggests that breast meat with skins contain higher microbes and numbers of food pathogens of latent zoonotic importance, thus suggesting the proper maintenance of meat processing plants is of crucial importance.
Need for needle and syringe programmes in Africa

A narrative review was conducted, drawing on peer reviewed literature and relevant grey literature on injecting drug use in African countries and ethical dilemmas facing harm reduction especially the provision of sterile needles and syringes to injecting drug users. This review aimed at highlighting evidence and the arguments for and against the provision of sterile injecting equipment to people who inject drugs (PWID), and to consider the implications for the African context. The narrative established that high risk injecting drug practices are common among PWID in many African communities, and so are HIV and hepatitis. Current services for this population in Africa are less pragmatic and inadequate. Needle and syringe programmes are both effective and ethical and should be part of the response to injecting drug use in Africa. Key words : Needle and syringe programmes, injecting drug use, ethics, HIV
Risk-sharing rule in project contracts

In this paper, the risk sharing rules an investigated to characterize the contractual structure of the project contracts. The authors exclusively focus upon the GCW and the FIDIC forms, which can be regarded as typical examples of incomplete contract forms. Risks involved in construction works are classified into exogenous and endogenous ones. The paper claims that dear differences in both contract forms in coping with endogenous risks can be found, while there are no essential differences in dealing with exogenous ones. The paper concludes by summarizing the remaining research issues to be scrutinized in the future.
Positional related injury in elite female field hockey players

The aim of this paper is to examine injury patterns in elite female field hockey players, and to identify the injury rates of different playing positions so that preventative measures can be implemented. Based on available research it was hypothesised that goalkeepers and midfielders will have the highest rate of injury. However, after the injury data was collected from the team's physiotherapist, post 2003 hockey season, it was found that within the distribution of injuries by position, forwards had the greatest percentage (44%), followed by those positioned in the midfield (23%), goals (18%), and back (15%). The most common type of injury was categorised as bruising or inflammation (27%), predominantly occurring in the lower limb with most of these cases reported as shin splints. Other prevalent types of injury included joint sprains (119%) and muscle hypertonicity (19%) occurring in the ankle and thigh areas. A greater percentage of injuries occurred to the lower limb in this study, when compared to others. This may be due to the use of elite hockey players. Leading to more advanced stick control and accurate hitting, combined with the flatter surface of artificial turf - which all play and training was executed on. If accurate and comprehensible injury data on injury patterns for particular positions were available, more attention could be made to tailoring training and rehabilitation programs for positions susceptible to specific injuries. Theoretically, this should eventually lead to minimising the prevalence and severity of injury. This minor thesis was written by a post-graduate student as part of the requirements of the Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) program.
Experiences of Saudi Female Students towards the Phenomena of Bullying Behaviors during Nursing Education Program

Conclusion: There is an evidence for presence of bullying phenomena among Saudi female nursing students that deserve to be studied in nursing education and practice.
Comparing The Learning Approaches Using Biggs Revised Study Process Questionnaire (R-SPQ-2F) Among Dental Undergraduates

he intention of learning approach was proposed by Saljo and Marton to study students' perception regarding a particular content and the way they understand the content.1-9 The students enter into higher education institutes from diversified educational, cultural and ethnic background.4 Success in education is dependent on learning environment, teaching strategies, individual personalities and preferred learning approaches.5,6 An impediment in learning is caused by the incongruous instructional strategy and learning approach.7 There are multiple frameworks available in literature to evaluate learning approaches according to the type of curriculum.8 Fleming has introduced the VARK framework which stands for visual, aural, read/write and kinesthetic sensory qualities of student by which learning experience is reflected.9,10 Vermunt's Learning Style Inventory (LSI) framework was used in context of higher education to assess the learning strategies, mental models and motives of learners.9,11 Another framework named Kolb's Experiential Learning Model (ELM) has four learning styles like (LSI); accommodator, assimilator, converger and diverger.9 The most commonly used framework is the two factor Biggs study process questionnaire (2F-SPQ) that deals with deep approach (DA)and surface approache (SA). 12 These two approaches has two subscales which are strategy and achieving motives. Deep learning approach is associated with intrinsic motivation of a learner towards content of the subject. The learners with deep learning approach have the ability to appraise thoughts and bridge it to establish new concepts, facts and theories. They have the capacity to retain information for long durations and are able to practice the 1.

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus in patients visiting Western Regional Hospital, Pokhara

Introduction: Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) continues to be a major cause of serious infection in hospitals and in the community worldwide. This study was performed to determine the prevalence of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in healthy school children and patients visiting Western Regional Hospital of Pokhara.Methods: The children from three Schools namely Janapirya Higher Secondary School, Sublime School and Ratnajyoti School and patients visiting Western Regional Hospital were selected for the study. This study was conducted by The School of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences during July to November 2007. One hundred eighty four Nasal swabs were collected from the healthy school children younger than 15 years old and one hundred clinical samples such as pus, wound swabs were collected from patients attending Western Regional Hospital. Collected nasal swabs and clinical swabs were analyzed for the growth of Staphylococcus aureus on mannitol salt agar (MSA). S. aureus was isolated and identified by mannitol fermentation, coagulase positivity and DNase positivity. Antimicrobial susceptibility test was performed on Muller-Hinton agar (MHA) medium by Modified Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method.Results: Out of 284 samples, 184 were nasal swabs, from healthy school children and 100 were clinical samples from patients attending Western Regional Hospital. Out of total nasal swabs (n=184), S. aureus was isolated from 30.97 % (n=57). Out of 57 isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, isolated from healthy school children 56.14 % (n=32) were MRSA. Out of 100 clinical samples isolated from hospital patients, S. aureus was isolated from 45% (n= 45). Out of 45 isolates of S. aureus, 75.55% (n=34) were MRSA. Prevalence of MRSA was statistically significant in clinical specimens in comparison with nasal swabs isolated from healthy school children (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study showed a high prevalence of MRSA carriage in school children and hospital patients of Pokhara valley and this may indicate the spread of MRSA in the community. Larger community based studies and regular surveillance of MRSA are needed to assist in the development of therapeutic guidelines for MRSA.Key words: Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, MHA, Modified Kirby-Bauer methodJournal of Institute of Medicine, April, 2008; 30:1 21-25The full text of this paper is available from the Journal of Institute of Medicine website
Responsiveness of pain, shoulder external rotation range of motion, and disability in individuals with shoulder adhesive capsulitis

Shoulder adhesive capsulitis is evident with pain, decreased active range of motion (AROM), and disability. Knowing the responsiveness of these clinical outcomes is beneficial in management of shoulder adhesive capsulitis. This study therefore aimed to investigate the responsiveness of pain, AROM, and disability in individuals with shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Twenty-four subjects were measured for pain, active external rotation (AER), and disability at baseline and 2 weeks after interventions. Change scores, effect size (ES), and standardized response mean (SRM) for internal responsiveness, and the correlation with satisfaction for external responsiveness were calculated in each parameter. There were significant differences between baseline and after-intervention data in all clinical outcomes. It was found that pain, AER, and disability were responsive according to high SRM (ranged from 0.87 to 2.61) but low correlation with the satisfaction. This study found that pain, AER, and disability were responsive in detecting the changes in individuals with shoulder adhesive capsulitis from time to time.
Comparison of PCM Codes for Direct Recording

The bit packing performance of randomized-non-return-to-zero (randomizedNRZ,) odd parity-NRZ, delay modulation, and bi-phase (Bi-0/ ) in direct recording was experimentally compared at a bit error probability (BEP) of 10. The effect of bit patterns, record and reproduce levels, bias level, tape speed, tape recorder bandwidth, bit synchronizers, and crossplay between tape recorders on bit packing density was investigated. At high bit packing densities, significant variations in data quality were found for changes in these parameters. This imposes limitations on practical bit packing densities. Some bit synchronizers were found to seriously reduce bit packing densities. Results show randomized-NR.Z to be superior to the other codes in bit packing density.
Low Dose Bupivacaine - Fentanyl Vs. Conventional Dose Of Bupivacaine In Spinal Anesthesia For Orthopaedic Procedures In Elderly Patients -

Background: Maintenance of the body physiology as near normal as possible during spinal anesthesia is one of the primary goals of the anaesthesiologist. As we know, marked hemodynamic derangements are often seen following subarachnoid block especially in trauma and elderly patients. Neuraxial opioids are not associated with sympathetic nervous system denervation, skeletal muscle weakness or loss of propioception. They predominantly act at the μ receptors present in the substantia gelatinosa of the spinal cord to exert its synergistic analgesic effect more specifically for visceral pain. Studies have established that opioids and local anesthetics administered together intrathecally have a potent synergistic analgesic effect. Objectives This study was conducted for evaluate the efficacy of low dose hyperbaric bupivacaine plus fentanyl for spinal anaesthesia in the elderly and study the incidence of hypotension in the compared groups.1 Methods: This was prospective study carried out on 60 patient posted for elective lower limb orthopedic surgeries during the period 2010-2011 at civil hospital gandhinagar.The study population was randomly allocated to two groups; Group A - 15mg of 0.5% bupivacaine & Group B - 10mg of 0.5% bupivacaine and 25μg of fentanyl. Results: After analyzing the results of our study we find that systolic B.P. decreased in both the groups, maximum fall occurredat 15 to 20 min in both the groups: decreases were more severe in group A than in group B,(P
An Open Trial Comparing Haloperidol with Olanzapine for the Treatment of Delirium in Palliative and Hospice Center Cancer Patients

This study compared the efficacy between haloperidol and olanzapine to treat the delirious syndromes in the palliative and hospice center cancer patients. Patients those received hospice and palliative care, with an advanced cancer, and met the DSM-IV criteria for delirium were recruited. They were administered the DRS-c and CGI-S at the time point of T0, T1, T2, T3 during 1 week. 16 patients (M:F=9:7; mean age ± SD=61.13±16.5) in olanzapine group and 14 patients (M:F=4:10; mean age ± SD=68±12.14) in haloperidol group were recruited. In both groups there was significant difference in scores of DRS-c and CGI-S across time periods (haloperidol group: DRS-c: at T1, p=0.008; at T2, p=0.044; at T3, p=0.043 and CGI-S: at T1, p=0.012; olanzapine group: DRS-c: at T3, p=0.042 and CGIS: at T1, p=0.040). However, comparison of the scores of DRS-c and CGI-S across time periods between two groups showed no statistical difference. The results showed that the delirium improved in both groups but no statistic difference comparing both groups. Therefore, olanzapine might be a useful alternative to haloperidol in the treatment of delirium in advanced cancer patients.
