Beyond the Numbers: on the road to achieving public value in community support organisations
Authors: Girkin Fiona , Shannon Elizabeth , Zimitat Craig , Elliot Kate-Ellen 
Published: February 2019

Objective: To explore public value as a management tool for measuring outcomes, in Community Support Organisations (CSOs) and determine if further research is warranted.
Design: A literature review on public value and outcome measurement in the community service sector was conducted to evaluate how public value best fits with CSOs.
Setting: Public value has not previously been applied to measuring outcomes in CSOs and could provide beneficial information to assist in obtaining government funding as fiscal resources decline.
Main outcome measures: The following question was considered; Can a public value framework be used as a management tool by CSOs to measure the value of their service? A flow chart applying a public value framework to outcome measurement of CSOs was developed.
Results: Key elements identified were indicators, measures and outcomes. Stakeholders included; government, community sector, CSOs and consumer. A public value framework has the potential to be used for measuring outcomes in the community sector however realworld application is still required.
Conclusion: This study provided preliminary application for a larger study and has provided evidence of a public value framework having the potential to be applied as an outcome measurement tool for CSOs.

Organisational Climate for Change and Innovativeness
Authors: Black Helen 
Published: February 2019

Purpose: Acute health services around the world are increasingly required to respond to accreditation institutes, the changing needs and expectations of patients and societal values that demand continuous improvement in quality and efficiencies. Many change initiatives and innovative attempts have failed or resulted in lower performance than expected. The purpose of this paper is to increase understanding of the organisational contextual factors such as social capital and organisational climate that interact with the change implementation processes and provide a new perspective for change management in the unique environment of acute health care.
Methodology: This mixed methods study was executed in three different sized operating theatre suites. A survey and in-depth interviews were used to reveal a current organisational climate for innovativeness through team member perspectives. The strength of each organisational climate was assessed with reference to the level of disparity in the participant responses. In-depth interviews and observations provided understanding of how social capital is developed and maintained, then examined in context with the climate for innovativeness to understand how contextual factors, social capital and climate interact.
Findings: It has been demonstrated that social capital in the operating theatre suite has bearing on the organisational climate for change and innovativeness. Size and structure of an organisation influence how social networks develop; policies and management practices influence how different networks interact; and, the combination of contextual factors and social capital influences the organisational climate for innovativeness.
Originality/value: Managing social capital can offer a people-focused perspective through which to design and implement change and enhance an organisational climate for innovativeness.

Authors: Katyal Sonal 
Published: February 2019

Background: Despite being a relatively smaller state, Haryana’s per capita Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) is high. The statistical data on the status of women has a different story to share. Objective: This study analyzes the maternal healthcare situation in Haryana to examine the differential in utilization of maternal health care service i.e. antenatal care on the basis of socio economic and socio demographic indicators such as Women’s age at Birth, Birth order, Education, Residence, Religion, Wealth index and Caste. Methodology: The present study uses the third round of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data which is similar to the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). DHS collects, disseminates national data on health and population in developing countries. Findings: Indicate that economic status, husband’s education and caste have effect on the utilization of antenatal care services. Conclusion: The present study demonstrates several socio economic and demographic factors affecting the utilization of antenatal care services in Haryana. Efforts need to be taken at community and household level to improve utilization.

Published: February 2019

Objective: Dental emergencies are a significant impact on the health system. The resource needs are complex and consume services in the tertiary health sector. It is important that we examine the reasons and types of attendances to look for ways to mitigate this demand. The aim was to identify the rate of dental emergencies according to age groups, genders and Indigenous status.Design: A retrospective analysis of dental emergencies at the Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH; tertiary children hospital in Perth) was performed. Setting: The study included data from hard-copy files of patients admitted to the PMH.Main outcome measures: The records of 239 children who attended the PMH in Perth with dental emergency problems during the first 3 months of 2017 were analyzed. Findings: The major reasons for dental emergencies were infection and trauma. The most common age group was children between 3 to 6 years old. In this age group, boys attended more than girls due to dental injury. Although there were equal presentations of dental infection and dental trauma cases, dental infection cases mostly required hospitalization and treatment under general anesthetic. Conclusion: While some dental emergencies are unavoidable, increasing awareness about dental hygiene, regular checkups and early dental treatments in children could decrease emergency visits and prevent conditions such as dental infections
Managers of Health Services in Australia 2006-2016
Authors: Martins Jo M , Isouard Godfrey 
Published: February 2019

Purpose: Activity in health services is expanding faster than population growth and that of the production of all goods and services in Australia. This paper is concerned with the number and characteristics of its managers in relation to the number of people employed and resources used. It also assesses different trends in hospitals and other medical and health services.
Methodology/Design: Design of the analyses follows specifications set by the authors for tabulations prepared by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) from the censuses of population conducted by ABS in 2006 and 2016.
Analysis: Assesses changes in the number and variations in the characteristics of managers of hospitals and medical and other health services, in relation to the number of people employed, contrasted with changes in all industries.
Findings: There are different trends in hospitals and medical and other health services, with a decline in the number of employees per manager in medical and other health services and a slight rise in hospitals. The older average age of health service managers continued to rise, similarly to that for all industries. The proportion of female managers in health services, below the average for all employees, increased somewhat during the decade. The distribution among the various fields of study remained about the same; but level of education, higher than the average for all industries continued to rise.The growth in average income of managers during the decade was somewhat lower than in all industries, due to a lower increase rate in medical and other health services. The proportion of managers of indigenous status rose substantially – almost double the proportion in all industries.
Implications: The findings are of relevance to those concerned with the management of health services and training of the growing number of managers of health services in Australia.

Published: February 2019

This article presents the finding of a study that investigate pre-service English teacher in managing the class when they were teaching in teaching practice program or Pre-Service Teaching Program. Teaching in a real class is a new experience for the students of Muria Kudus University; however they need to adjust themselves to the teaching environment. They need to prepare some educational knowledge like; classroom management, educational psychology, curriculum development, teaching method etc, in order to be able to organize the lesson well and achieve maximum result. The key of a successful learning is depended on the way teacher organizing the class. In other word the key of a successful language teaching is classroom management. However each class has different characteristics, so a teacher needs to prepare himself to the students’ learning style. Maintaining discipline and organizing students can be very frustrating for the student-teachers because they do not only need well understanding about classroom management but they also need to control their performance. The students- teacher or teacher candidates need guidance either from the school teachers or their lecturers; therefore it is also very important to observe their activities in the class to know the improvements which have been done by the teacher.

Abstract
This paper presents the methodology and results of the research aimed to identify the current and potential functions of open public spaces in post-Soviet modernist urban districts in the context of sustainable urban development. The research is based on the sociotope mapping methodology facilitating the identification and interpretation of functional characteristics of urban open public spaces. The data for this research has been collected in three selected pilot multi-apartment modernistic districts of Kaunas city (Lithuania) using two sociological research tools – site observation protocols and user questionnaires. The research results show the need for actors involved in planning and (re)development of modernistic districts to incorporate a larger diversity of space elements enabling different local area users (individuals, families, organizations) to use and experience more natural, social, economic and other values available locally at different time (year, day) periods.

Published: February 2019

AbstractFor the period from the 1st of May to the 30th of October 2014, the water balance for Scots pine, Norway spruce, Pedunculate oak and European beech seedlings in a plantation setting was analysed. The experiment was conducted at the container nursery in the Rudy Raciborskie Forest District, Poland. Water was supplied by natural rainfall as well as a by small-droplet irrigation system and two automatic weather stations combined with 32 rain collectors were used to monitor rainfall throughout this research. Rain gauges were located 25 cm above the metal pallets and 10 cm below the nursery containers. An average of 987 mm∙m−2of water reached the plantation, of which 53% were provided by the irrigation system. Most water was supplied to the oak field, whereas least was given to the spruce plantations and the irrigation water amounted to 535 liters and 422 liters per square meter, respectively. The amount of water percolating through the substrate was approximately 50–65%, depending on the tree species. An average sum of evapotranspiration at the container nursery was estimated to amount to 520 mm∙m−2during the growth season leading to a total water balance of +463 mm.
Cricetidae (Rodentia, Mammalia) from the early Miocene site of els Casots (Vallès-Penedès Basin, Catalonia)
Authors: Jovells-Vaqué Sílvia , Ginestí Montserrrat , Casanovas-Vilar Isaac 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Els Casots is an extremely rich early Miocene site located in the Vallès-Penedès Basin (Catalonia, Spain) that has provided both micro- and macrovertebrates. However, the small mammals have been poorly studied. In this work we describe the cricetid fauna from els Casots and provide further insights into the chronology of the site. The cricetids are very common and include the species Megacricetodon primitivus and Democricetodon hispanicus. A second, larger-sized Democricetodon species is also represented by just one molar. The presence of M. primitivus together with the eomyid Ligerimys ellipticus indicates a correlation to zone MN 4 and to the local zone C of the Calatayud-Montalbán Basin (Aragón, east-central Spain), the type area of the Aragonian mammal age. This is further supported by the presence of two different Democricetodon species. A correlation to the local subzones of that area is attempted, but unfortunately the cricetid succession is not the same in both basins. However, the fact that L. ellipticus is the only eomyid species present at els Casots would indicate that this site is somewhat younger than other MN 4 localities from the Vallès-Penedès, where this species coexists with its ancestor Ligerimys florancei.
Early Late Miocene Murine Rodents from the Upper Part of the Nagri Formation, Siwalik Group, Pakistan, with a new fossil calibration point for the Tribe Apodemurini (Apodemus/Tokudaia)
Authors: Kimura Yuri , Flynn Lawrence J. , Jacobs Louis L. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The early late Miocene is an interval of increased diversification for murine rodents. Whereas the genus Progonomys became widespread throughout Eurasia by 10 Ma, it appears from the known paleontological record that southern Asia is the arena of evolution and diversification at the base of the Murinae. The Siwalik fossil record of the Potwar Plateau in northern Pakistan preserves fossil evidence relevant to unraveling this history. Murine rodents are recorded there throughout the middle Miocene, and diversification began in Siwalik assemblages before 11 Ma. The well-established Progonomys and Karnimata lineages were already present between 11 and 10 Ma, and these represent extant murine crown groups. Here we document diversity in Siwalik murines dating to 10.5 to 10.1 Ma, and clarify their recognition by naming a new species of Karnimata and referring specimens of Progonomys from this interval to P. hussaini. In addition, we define at least two other uncommon murine species that coexist with them. One of these is an early record of Parapodemus, a fossil genus of Tribe Apodemurini, which constitutes a calibration point for the Apodemus/Tokudaia split. Together, these fossil taxa provide further evidence bearing on the major split among murines leading to the clades Murini and Arvicanthini.
The new Early Miocene bat records from the Molasse sites of South Germany
Authors: Rosina Valentina V. , Rummel Michael 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Fossil bats are described from deposits of the Upper Freshwater Molasse of the Forsthart and Rembach sites in East Bavaria of South Germany (MN 4). The material comprises 13 fragments, representing at least six different species, all belonging to Vespertilionidae. A fossil form from Rembach, close to the Oriental clade of Hesperoptenus, represents the first and oldest fossil record of this clade in Europe. The assignment of bat records to extant Oriental clades Hesperoptenus and Submyotodon in Rembach, as well as different forms of Miostrellus in Forsthart indicate considerable diversity in Early Miocene vespertilionid bats, and have exciting palaeobiogeographic implications. Fossils are discussed in regards to taxonomic, stratigraphic and palaeoecological significance.

Published: February 2019

Abstract
The 2017 field survey of the Ashawq Formation, Dhofar, Oman, resulted in the collection of large mammal remains, most of which belong to Afrotheria, but with one artiodactyl lineage indicating the possibility of dispersal links with Eurasia. The new fossil remains increase our knowledge about the dental anatomy of the endemic lophodont proboscidean genus Omanitherium, revealing, in particular, that it possessed two pairs of lower incisors. For the first time, a palaeomastodont is recorded from the Arabian Peninsula. Additional remains of Arsinoitherium, a hyracoid and an anthracothere from the formation are described.

Published: February 2019

Abstract

Background: Measurement-based studies are prone to measurement errors, which occur at the same operator or between different operators during repeated measurements of the same sample.

Aim of the study: To assess the inter-operator reliability of morphometric measurements using a bidimensional image analysis method.

Material and methods: Eight study models have been selected, images of teeth and models were taken from vestibular and occlusal view. The following parameters were measured individually by three, previously trained operators: mesio-distal, occluso-gingival, and vestibulo-oral dimensions, vestibular and occlusal area, depth of palatal arch, arch breadth, arch circumference, and arch length. Intraclass correlation coefficients were calculated for each measurement.

Results: The reliability of the measurements showed high degrees, all values being higher than 0.8.

Conclusions: Dental morphometric measurements done by 2D image analysis can be performed by multiple operators with an excellent reliability.
