A Review of:
Boykan, R., & Jacobson, R. M. (2017). The role of librarians in teaching evidence-based medicine to pediatric residents. Journal of the Medical Library Association, 105(4), 355-360. https://doi.org/10.5195/jmla.2017.178
Abstract
Objective – To identify the use and role of medical librarians in pediatric residency training, specifically in the teaching of evidence-based medicine (EBM) to medical residents. This research also aims to describe current strategies used for teaching evidence-based medicine in pediatric residency training programs.
Design – Web-based survey.
Setting – Pediatric residency programs within the United States of America.
Subjects – 200 members of the Association of Pediatric Program Directors (APPD).
Methods – The 13-question, web-based survey used multiple choice and short answer questions to ask how pediatric residency programs used medical librarians. The survey collected demographic information such as program name, geographic region, and program size. Where respondents indicated their programs utilised librarians, the survey asked about their specific role, including involvement in EBM curricula. For respondents who indicated their programs did not use librarians, the survey asked about their reasons for not doing so, and to describe their EBM curricula. Researchers used SPSS software to analyse the quantitative data.
Main Results – Overall 91 (46%) APPD-member program directors responded to the online survey. Of these, 76% of program directors indicated a formal EBM curriculum in their residency programs. Medical librarians were responsible for teaching EBM in 37% of responding pediatric programs. However, only 17% of responding program directors stated that medical librarians were involved in teaching EBM on a regular basis. The EBM skills most commonly taught within the pediatric residency programs included framing questions using PICO (population, intervention, comparator, outcome), searching for relevant research literature, and critical appraisal of studies. The strategies reported as most effective for teaching EBM in pediatric residency training programs were journal clubs, regular EBM conferences or seminars, and ‘morning reports.’
Conclusion – The study concluded that medical librarians may be important in the teaching of EBM in pediatric residency programs, but are likely underutilised. The librarian might not be seen has having a significant role in forums such as journal clubs, despite these being a predominant venue for EBM teaching. The authors recommend that program directors and faculty work together to better integrate medical librarians’ expertise into clinical teaching of EBM.
The Library Assessment Capability Maturity Model: A Means of Optimizing How Libraries Measure Effectiveness
Authors: Hart Simon , Amos Howard 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Objective – This paper presents a Library Assessment Capability Maturity Model (LACMM) that can assist library managers to improve assessment. The process of developing the LACMM is detailed to provide an evidence trail to foster confidence in its utility and value.
Methods – The LACMM was developed during a series of library benchmarking activities across an international network of universities. The utility and value of the LACMM was tested by the benchmarking libraries and other practitioners; feedback from this testing was applied to improve it. Guidance was taken from a procedures model for developing maturity models that draws on design science research methodology where an iterative and reflective approach is taken.
Results – The activities decision making junctures and the LACMM as an artifact make up the results of this research. The LACMM has five levels. Each level represents a measure of the effectiveness of any assessment process or program, from ad-hoc processes to mature and continuously improving processes. At each level there are criteria and characteristics that need to be fulfilled in order to reach a particular maturity level. Corresponding to each level of maturity, four stages of the assessment cycle were identified as further elements of the LACMM template. These included (1) Objectives, (2) Methods and data collection, (3) Analysis and interpretation, and (4) Use of results. Several attempts were needed to determine the criteria for each maturity level corresponding to the stages of the assessment cycle. Three versions of the LACMM were developed to introduce managers to using it. Each version corresponded to a different kind of assessment activity: data, discussion, and comparison. A generic version was developed for those who have become more familiar with using it. Through a process of review, capability maturity levels can be identified for each stage in the assessment cycle; so too can plans to improve processes toward continuous improvement.
Conclusion – The LACMM will add to the plethora of resources already available. However, it is hoped that the simplicity of the tool as a means of assessing assessment and identifying an improvement path will be its strength. It can act as a quick aide-mémoire or form the basis of a comprehensive self-review or an inter-institutional benchmarking project. It is expected that the tool will be adapted and improved upon as library managers apply it.

Published: December 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo contribuir para os debates sobre as implicações do trabalho educativo no processo de formação da memória e no desenvolvimento humano. Com base no referencial da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, inicialmente apresentamos alguns aspectos gerais relacionados à memória do homem. Posteriormente, analisamos o papel do signo e da linguagem no desenvolvimento da memória humana. E, por fim, problematizamos e discutimos sobre a importância do ensino escolar para a formação do sujeito e de sua memória individual. Estudos realizados por ocasião desta pesquisa indiciam que a formação das funções superiores, como a memória voluntária, advém de um processo histórico em um meio de relações interpessoais. Foi possível depreender que as escolas são essenciais para o desenvolvimento da humanidade. Compete aos docentes desenvolver um trabalho educativo intencionalmente direcionado a motivar os alunos à atividade de estudo para que, assim, ocorra a memorização voluntária dos conteúdos problematizados. Nesse sentido, cabe aos programas de formação inicial e continuada de professores oferecerem espaço e tempo para a discussão sobre questões relacionadas ao desenvolvimento humano, pois os professores necessitam ter consciência de como o sujeito aprende e se constitui humano. Este estudo aponta para a necessidade de aprofundamento de discussões sobre o trabalho educativo e sua contribuição na formação social da memória individual, dada sua relevância para promover melhorias na qualidade da educação e na constituição humana das próximas gerações.

Published: December 2018

The issue of socially responsible investment (SRI) has been gaining increasing popularity in recent years. The idea of responsible investment, along with sustainable development, primarily assumes complying with ethical principles. The aim of this study is to survey the extent to which investment funds in Europe and Poland are guided by SRI. The criteria for identifying SRI funds are analysed, and their net asset value against the background of all investment funds in Europe is examined. The range of activities of SRI funds in Poland, which is surprisingly low, is also investigated. This paper uses the review method of legal regulations and analysis of the results of published studies concerning SRI funds. The results of the study confirm the growing importance of socially responsible funds in Europe. This paper is also a call for uniform reporting standards, so that SRI funds are more easily benchmarked against other investment funds.

Islamic financing options for SMEs- role of Islamic banks
Authors: Djemaa Haouam 
Published: December 2018

Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have significant role in employment creation and growth of gross domestic products of developing country. In developing countries, they represent the majority of employment. SMEs constitute the overwhelming majority of firms. Globally, SMEs make up over 95% of all firms, account for approximately 50% of GDP and 60%â€“70% of total employment. However, in order to grow and contribute more significantly to the economy, SMEs face some constraints. One of the main constraints faced by SMEs is the lack of finance. Islamic bank financing products may help to solve this problem. The Islamic participatory schemes, such as mudarabah and musyarakah, integrate assets of lender and borrowers; therefore, they allow Islamic banks to lend on a longer-term basis to projects with higher risk-return profiles and, thus, to support economic growth.However, as Islamic banks try to avoid uncertainties, the mentioned schemes are not widely used. Therefore, support from government and academia needed to create innovation in the participatory financing scheme so that all related parties can share mutual benefits. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the main challenges to Islamic finance for SMEs. This paper will help to deepen understanding of the concepts of Islamic finance as well as SMEs. In addition to evaluate how Islamic financial institutions can support SMEs.

Published: December 2018

In this study, the Agile software development process is analysed by means of success and failure criteria, and their effects are determined using the partial least squares – structural equation modelling methodology. The study identifies criticial success factors in Agile software development methodology and specifically focuses on indicators to conclude their significance of relationship and impact, so that the possible results are determined, predicted and exterminated in advance. The literature search determined the success indicators of agile projects in a mul ti-dimensional view of factors. Each factor was classified into sub-factors and indicators which helped to obtain a multi-dimensional view of the factors that made them more viable. The answers of the participants were mapped to the detailed criteria and applied to the model developed. The results which showed the effects of each sub-criteria mapped to one of the main criteria of the Agile software development process were determined and evaluated.

The investigations were conducted on the gray forest heavy clay loamy soils, formed on the loess-like loams, which are widely spread on the territory of Vladimir Opolye. The eluvial-illuvial profile differentiation, its different intensity and the specificity of illuvial coatings (fine dispersed clayey and humus-clayey coatings with sparse skeletal content of soil) is confirmed. The presence of the coarse wooden plant residues, thick humus-clayey illuvial coatings within the illuvial horizons speak about the forest origin of the grey forest soils in Vladimir Opolye. The micromorphology of humus horizon reflects the direction of the soil forming process and the ecological status of soils. The illimerization is the main process of the matter migration and soil profile differentiation. The mixed-layer formations prevail in the clayey fraction. Mica, quartz, and K-feldspars are the prevailing compounds of the fine and medium silt within the gray forest soils. In the silt fraction of the second humus horizon prevail quartz and feld-spar. The most of the nutrients is concentrated in the clayey and fine-silt frac-tion. The micromorphological investigations confirmed the theory, which speaks about the presence of forest (the presence of illuvial coatings) as well as steppe soils (mull humus type in the SHH, the presence of primary and newly formed carbonates) specificities in the modern soil forming process within the gray forest soil of Vladimir Opolye.
