Finding a needle in a library stack: Improving wayfinding in an academic library

Students have difficulty locating items on the shelf in a library. This mixed-methods case study reviews the existing literature relating to this issue and investigates the nature of these problems. It tests an online wayfinding App which the researcher created which was installed at Goldsmiths University library. The aim was to ascertain whether this could improve the ability and perceived experience of students seaching for items. A field exercise is incorporated into the research which investigates six participants’ experiences of finding material both with and without the aid of the App, using the semi-structured interview technique. The research also investigates whether there are variances in the nature of difficulties experienced at different study levels including both undergraduate and postgraduate students in its sample. The results indicate that students find an online wayfinding App useful and feel that it reduces the anxiety which surrounds the retrieval of physical items in libraries. There is a demonstrated time saving in using the App, particularly in relation to finding the correct stack. Self-efficacy levels increased following the field exercise. It was also noted that the parallel use of signage in the App and in the library in order to indicate a stack number was a significant factor which improved the wayfinding experience. A noteable aspect of this research were unexpected results from two participants who declared that they had Specific Learning Disabilities. Their performance and insights indicated that steps could be taken to improve their student experience and that further research in this area would be beneficial. The key recommendation is to install an online wayfinding App with companion signage in order to improve the student experience.
Use of Standardised Assessments and Outcome Measures among a Sample of Irish Occupational Therapists Working with Adults with Physical Disabilities

This study was carried out to explore the current usage of standardised assessments and outcome measures by occupational therapists working with adults with physical disabilities. A survey research design, using a postal questionnaire specifically designed for the study, was employed. Completed questionnaires were returned by 109 occupational therapists working in a variety of settings, including acute care, community and inpatient rehabilitation. A range of standardised assessments and outcome measures was in use, with an average of four different measures being used by the individual respondents. The most commonly used measures were the Mini Mental State Examination (Folstein et al 1975), Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test (Wilson et al 1985), Functional Independence Measure (Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation 1999), Barthel Index (Mahoney and Barthel 1965) and the Chessington Occupational Therapy Neurological Assessment Battery (Tyerman et al 1986). However, the consistency of use tended to be low. The barriers to a more consistent use of standardised assessments and outcome measures included time restraints, the unsuitability of the available measures and a lack of sensitivity of the available measures to capture the effectiveness of occupational therapy. The findings support those of previous studies exploring this issue among occupational therapists from different areas of practice. The respondents in this study highlighted the need for a multifaceted approach, encompassing educational, managerial and individual responsibility, to address the issue of the usage of standardised assessments and outcome measures among occupational therapists.
HEPARIN OR 0.9% SODIUM CHLORIDE TO MAINTAIN CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETER PATENCY: A RANDOMISED TRIAL

BACKGROUND: Maintaining the lumen patency of Central venous catheters (CVCs)using low dose Heparin is recommended in many guidelines of CVC maintenance. This study is to compare the efficacy of low-dose Heparin 3ml (10U/ml) and 0.9% Sodium chloride (10ml) flush solutions to maintain Central venous catheter (CVC) lumen patency. METHODS: We studied 100 adult patients between March 2012 and August 2012 who required short-term CVC insertion to compare two flush solutions, Heparin and0.9% Sodium Chloride on catheter lumen patency. RESULTS: The crude catheter non patency was 4% (two lumens)in Heparin group and 8% (four lumens) in the Sodium Chloride group. There was no incidence of thrombocytopenia in both the study groups. CONCLUSION: This study has demonstrated no significant difference between Heparin and 0.9% Sodium Chloride flushes with regards to catheter patency in adult patients with short-term use of CVCs.
The cannabis festival: quality, satisfaction, and intention to return

The purpose of this paper is to understand how festival quality, satisfaction and intention to return among cannabis festival attendees were interrelated by using the 2018 Mile High 420 Cannabis Festival in Denver, Colorado, USA. ,This study employed an online survey with festival attendees to the 2018 Mile High 420 Festival. A total of 664 attendees participated in the survey. ,Findings of the study revealed the demographic profile of cannabis festival attendees (i.e. relatively young, single and evenly distributed in terms of gender and residency) and its relationships with respondents’ perceived festival qualities. In addition, two dimensions of festival quality unique to the context of marijuana festival influenced attendees’ satisfaction and intent to return significantly. Festival attendees’ travel characteristics were used to describe attendees’ satisfaction and intent to return to a different degree. This research has also highlighted a lack of research in the area of cannabis events/festivals. ,This study is the first investigation that studied a cannabis-themed festival in the tourism literature. As legalization of recreational cannabis has been embraced in the USA and abroad (i.e. Canada), the findings of this empirical study will help the industry professionals and policy makers to understand this unprecedented SIT market and can be used as the benchmarks for their legal and operational practicality. Further, this study highlights research gaps in the tourism literature, and identifies those areas where future study is unlikely to provide new knowledge.
Goffman's Theory as a Framework for Analysis of Self Presentation on Online Social Networks

To investigate how people form their identity on social networks and control the impressions they invoke in their audiences, we analyzed personal profiles of 50 university student Facebook users using Erving Gofmann´s dramaturgical theory. We identified five basic forms through which users create and present their identities: The Public diary, The Influencer, The Entertainer, Job and education and Hobby, as well as the appropriate secondary roles performed by users who interact with them.These findings are corroborated by 8 semi-structured interviews with respondents, which enable a more in-depth exploration of the way they use Facebook, the social interactions they participate in, their motivation for posting contributions, and how they engage in impression management, perceive privacy and resolve issues caused by multiple audiences.A better understanding of how privacy is conceived and what motivates users to share their personal information online is essential for public authorities’ cooperation on shaping company privacy policies and creation of appropriate legal regulations.The key results confirm the presence of conscious effort to make a desired impression and prove Goffman’s theory of face-to-face interactions to be relevant in the context of online social networks.
The Impact of Mindfulness Training on Examination Anxiety among Female Students Attending 10+2 Board Examinations in Chennai

The study is aimed at understanding the effect of the use of mindfulness practices in reducing the examination anxiety in female students who were taking their board examination. The sample consisted of 80 females students who subjectively felt that they experienced high anxiety during the examinations, of which 47 underwent training in mindfulness practices and rest were included in the control group. The subjects in the experimental group were trained in mindful breathing, body scanning, mindful focus on external sensory stimuli and mindful awareness of activities. 6 sessions of training and 6 sessions of supervised practice session was given to the subjects. STAI was used to assess the anxiety levels. The data was collected at three stages pre-training, post training before the examinations started and immediately after the examination for both the groups. The data was analyzed using “T” Test. The results confirm that mindfulness practices used in the research reduced the state anxiety the students experienced during the examination, but these practices were not helpful in reducing the trait anxiety.
Role of Personal and Organizational Factors on Student Attrition From Graduate Education: A Mixed-Model Research

Students in graduate education have a desire to hold a degree because of contributions of graduate education such as opportunity to become faculty member, professional development, and promotion. Despite these benefits of graduate education, there are students who do not persist on gaining a graduate degree. This study aims to develop and test a model to determine the role of personal and organizational factors on student attrition from graduate education and to investigate graduate student attrition from the lenses of students and faculty. The design of the study was mixed-model research. Through a three-staged clustered random sampling and purposeful sampling, respectively, 653 and 36 participants were selected. Results of the correlational analysis indicated that intention to leave graduate education was predicted by personal factors, while the phenomenological part of the study pointed out that personal factors were more visible in student attrition than organizational factors.
The self, perspective-taking and adolescent mental health: a contextual behavioural science approach

or, in other words, it does not have physical counterparts in the environment. Deictics are based on perspective interpersonally (I-You relations), spatially (HereThere Relations), and temporally (Now-Then Relations). In other words, acquisition of these frames involves learning to differentiate one’s own behaviour (“I”) from that of others (“You”), and one’s responding in this moment is always “Here”, rather than “There”, and “Now” rather than “Then. ” They emerge through a history of asking and responding to questions such as, “Where am I now? ” (I-here-now) and “What were you doing yesterday? ”(you-there-then) (Barnes-Holmes, McHugh & Barnes-Holmes, 2004). Upon successfully developing the deictic frames of I-You, Here-There, and Now-Then, they become inherent in most of one’s verbal interactions (Stewart et al., 2012). For example in conversations, by asking “How are you today? ” the frames of I-You, Here-There and Now-Then are operating, as I-here-now, am asking about youthere-then. McHugh and colleagues (2004) observed in their seminal study that deictic relations follow a predictable developmental trend from early childhood to middle childhood, and are then, close to fully developed by adulthood in typically developing populations. This study used a protocol using deictic relational tasks, varying in levels of complexity (see Table 1). Deictic relational tasks are a means of assessing
Effects of college students' adjustment, Character, and communication competence on field practice adaptation -Mediating effect of interpersonal competence

The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of college adjustment, character, communicative competence, and interpersonal competence on field practice adaptation of college student. Subjects were 231 nursing students and medical students in J city and C city, G-do. Using SPSS/WIN 20.0, multiple regression analysis using Baron & Kenny’s three-step procedure and Sobel test were used to verify the significance of the mediator effect. The variables directly affecting field practice adaptation were college adjustment (β=.22, p=.003) and interpersonal competence (β=.38, p<.001). Character and Communicative competence did not have a direct affect on field practice adaptation (β =.02, p=.740), (β=.04, p=.590) but indirect effect through interpersonal competence was significant(β =.15, p=.004), (β=.19, p=.011). As character and communicative competence are the variables affecting field practice adaptation through interpersonal competence, training programs to improve character, communicative competence, and interpersonal competence in college are needed.
A Case of Pregnancy Induced Venous Hum Treated by Ligation of the Internal Jugular Vein

The patient with pulsatile tinnitus can bo annoying and the tinnitus can be the only clue to a potentially devastating and life-threa- tening disease, too. This tinnitus may originate from the arterial, arteriovenous, venous vessels and the myoclonus. Occasionally it is the cause of underlying condition in increased flow volume such as anemia, hyperthyroidism, pregnancy, medication or increased intracranial pressure. And then control of these underlying condition is important treatment in those occasions. If anyone suffered from venous pulsatile tinnitus, then simple ligation of the internal jugular vein could be the simplest treatment. Recently the authors experienced a case of 28-year-old woman with left pulsatile tinnitus originating from venous hum. The tinnitus had developed at fourth month of pregnancy and persisted after 20 months of delivery. The patient was treated by ligation of the internal jugular vein in local anesthesia. The proper ligation site was decided by angiography. She remains free of symptoms and com- plications 7 months after treatment. (Korean J Otolaryngol 2003;46:156-9)
Internalizing symptoms and loneliness: Direct effects of mindfulness and protection against the negative effects of peer victimization and exclusion

Drawing from dispositional mindfulness research and stress and coping theories, we tested whether adolescents’ dispositional mindfulness was associated with perceptions of peer victimization and exclusion and internalizing symptoms. We further explored the role of dispositional mindfulness as a protective factor buffering the impact of peer victimization and exclusion (PVE) on internalizing symptoms. Participants were 361 (40% boys) adolescents aged between 11 and 18 years (M = 14.9, SD = 1.4) who completed a questionnaire to assess dispositional mindfulness, perceptions of PVE, social anxiety and depressive symptoms, and loneliness. As expected, more frequent experience of PVE was associated with reporting more symptoms of social anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Further, adolescents who reported higher dispositional mindfulness also reported fewer symptoms of social anxiety, depression, and loneliness, even after controlling for gender and experiences of PVE. Dispositional mindfulness was not protective against (i.e., did not buffer) the effects of PVE on internalizing symptoms. Instead, we found that PVE had a stronger association with symptoms of social anxiety, depression, and loneliness when mindfulness was high relative to when it was medium or low. Yet, victimization was associated with greater social anxiety, depressive symptoms, and loneliness at all levels of mindfulness.
The Authenticity of the Others: How Teammates’ Authenticity Relates to Our Well-Being

Although prior research has linked being authentic to individual well-being, little is known about authenticity’s external effects, that is, whether being around those who are authentic is good or bad for us. Integrating authenticity research and social penetration theory, we propose that others’ authenticity facilitates a number of positive intra- and interpersonal processes. Using a sample of 715 employees nested in 109 teams working for a nonprofit organization, we found that teammate authenticity relates positively to focal employees’ work engagement and negatively to their emotional exhaustion. While teammate authenticity explained incremental validity in both outcomes beyond the focal employee’s self-authenticity, it did not moderate the link from self-authenticity to well-being. Thus, instead of further facilitating beneficial intra-individual processes, being around authentic teammates seems to trigger distinct beneficial (social) processes that are neglected when focusing merely on the authenticity of the individual employee.
Using Self-Evaluation Procedures to Maintain Social Skills in a Child who is Blind

Using Self-Evaluation Procedures to Maintain Social Skills in a Child Who Is Blind D. Jindal-Snape, M. Kato, H. Maekawa Although researchers have been successful in helping children with impairments to develop social skills, they have not been able to teach the children to generalize or maintain these skills (Gresham, 1981; Jindal & Kato, 1994). Webber, Scheuermann, McCall, and Coleman (1993), however, found that the generalization of appropriate behavior to other settings, across tasks or behaviors, and over time can be enhanced by self-management procedures. Storey and Gaylord-Ross (1987) used self-management successfully to develop prosocial behavior in an adolescent, and McAdam, O'Cleirigh, and Cuvo (1993) used it to improve the stereotypical behavior of an adult who was congenitally blind. Despite the increased focus on selfmanagement procedures in the special education literature, DeMario and Crowley (1994) found that none of the 66 studies from 1980 to 1991 that they reviewed used self-management procedures with children with visual impairments. They recommended that future studies should use such procedures to promote the children's social behavior. Furthermore, in a study aimed at reducing inappropriate behavior, Fowler (1986) initially used peer monitoring, and after a reduction in inappropriate behavior, introduced self-monitoring. The results indicated that the improvements achieved during peer monitoring were maintained, for the most part, during self-monitoring, but that self-monitoring did not further reduce the rates of inappropriate behavior. Thus, the self-monitoring procedure might not have been as powerful as the peermonitoring procedure. The purpose of the study presented here was to investigate the efficacy of self-evaluation procedures. Specifically, the study sought to determine whether the appropriate behavior of a child with a visual impairment could be increased, generalized, and maintained using self-evaluation procedures despite the abrupt stopping of external contingencies (external reinforcement and peer evaluation).
An Experimental Study of Prejudice Toward Drivers With Political Bumper Stickers

In this editorial, we encourage readers to consider how ethics are involved in every aspect of research including collaboration, mentoring, and analyzing data. We explore the values of psychology which motivate the creation of ethical standards and help people make decisions even when no formal codes are present. Finally, we argue that the values of psychology are more than just good behavior, they are a necessary part of a productive and effective science. As we address the various aspects of the research process, we incorporate the perspectives of student and faculty researchers.
The Relationship Between Characteristics of Collective Action, Introversion/Extraversion, and Collective Action Endorsement

Given the social and psychological benefits of collective action, it is important to understand what motivates participation. The most heavily researched predictors of collective action are group-level predictors (e.g., perceived group injustice). Although these are consistent predictors, they still show only small to moderate relationships with collective action. Thus, the current research focused on individual-level predictors. First, the personality trait introversion/extraversion was examined; given extraverts’ enjoyment of social situations, it was predicted that extraverts would endorse collective action more than introverts. Another consideration is how individuals perceive collective action along various characteristics such as whether the action is perceived as active/passive or private/public. Specifically, collective action characteristics that are consistent with introversion (e.g., private, normative, low social cost, safe) were expected to predict introverts' endorsement of collective action, whereas collective action characteristics consistent with extraversion (e.g., public, active, non-normative) were expected to predict extraverts' endorsement. Study 1 (N=179) used correlational methods to test whether introversion/extraversion moderated the effect of perceived characteristics on endorsement. Results showed that among introverts, perceiving collective action as higher in risk and social cost was associated with lower endorsement. Also, among introverts, perceiving collective action as more effective and formal was associated with greater endorsement. Among extraverts, perceiving collective action as more public was associated with greater endorsement. Study 2 (N=297) tested the causal impact of perceived social cost of participating in the online campaign, #MeToo, on endorsement of collective action, and how that relationship may be moderated by introversion/extraversion. Participants randomly assigned to read about the high social cost of participating in #MeToo endorsed social media activism significantly less than participants in the low social cost condition, although there was no significant interaction with INTROVERSION/EXTRAVERSION AND COLLECTIVE ACTION iii introversion/extraversion. To better understand how participants differentially perceive the risk of online and offline collective action, Study 3 (N=185) asked participants to write a few sentences describing how they perceived the risk of both types of action. Their language use was analyzed and showed that offline action was described using more emotional, anxiety, risk, reward, and achievement words than were used to describe online action; however, this was not related to introversion/extraversion. Findings were discussed in the context of how personality may be utilized to enhance collective action.
Interferences between work and family among male and female executives in Nigeria

This paper examines two aspects of work family interfaces: work interference with family and family interference with work in Nigerian context. Survey data from business executives in Nigeria confirmed that job related factors (such as career salience, hours of work, work involvement) were largely associated with work interference with family for both male and female executives. Only one family related factor (number of children) was found to have dominating effect on family interference with work for women executives. Implications to managing work family conflict in Nigeria are explored. Key words: Work-family conflict, job-related factors, work-related factors, interference.
