Building an Academic–Practice Partnership to Support Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Authors: Spoelstra Sandra L. , Kaiser Jennifer , Vanderkooi Marie 
Published: August 2019

Background:
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) programs have grown exponentially, and most require a project to graduate. However, finding project placements is challenging. This article describes an academic–practice partnership that formed between a health system and a public university in the Midwest for completion of projects.

Method:
A descriptive case study collected data in field notes on participants. An associate dean of research, an assistant professor, and a health system research nurse participated between 2016 and 2018.

Results:
Project placements started at four and increased to 24 over a year. A standardized workflow was established that matched student interest to system need, identified a mentor, facilitated internal review board determination, and provided access to an internal drive for data collection. Faculty were appointed to the system research council.

Conclusion:

Successful academic–practice partnerships include frequent communication to build trust, strategic analysis for rapid response to challenging situations, and addressing the interests of both parties.

Authors: Manansingh Sherry , Tatum Stephanie L. , Morote Elsa-Sofia 
Published: August 2019

Background:
This mixed-methods study examined the effects of relaxation techniques on first-year baccalaureate nursing (BSN) students' academic stress, test anxiety, and intention to stay in the nursing profession.

Method:
To evaluate the effects of using relaxation techniques, 45 students participated in a 6-week relaxation technique intervention and a focus group. A pretest was disseminated the first week of class and a posttest was disseminated at the end of the semester, followed by a focus group interview.

Results:

The paired-sample
t
test indicated that students who used relaxation techniques significantly decreased in academic stress and test anxiety. A thematic analysis of the focus group interview indicated relaxation techniques prior to examinations helped to reduce mental and physical stress and fear of failure and increased the likelihood of their intention to stay in the nursing profession.

Conclusion:

Institutional learning experiences that reduce students' academic stress and test anxiety can include relaxation techniques.

L’expédition d’Espagne
Authors: Larroche Emmanuel 
Published: August 2019

En avril 1823, les « cent mille fils de Saint Louis » entrent en Espagne pour combattre les armées du régime constitutionnel des Cortès. Au terme d’une campagne militaire de quelques mois, le pays est soumis, Ferdinand VII « restauré » en roi absolu. Le présent ouvrage revient sur cet épisode peu connu de l’histoire de la Restauration où une armée française, huit ans seulement après la fin de l’Empire, a mis son épée au service de l’ordre monarchique de la Sainte-Alliance. Il s’agit là finalement de l’une des premières « guerre d’ingérence » de la période contemporaine.En France, cette intervention militaire avive les tensions politiques dans un contexte où l’équilibre instauré par la Charte de 1814 est soumis à rude épreuve par les menées subversives des sociétés libérales et les excès de la droite contrerévolutionnaire. Le gouvernement essaie de donner à cette guerre des contours qui la rendent acceptable, qui puissent éloigner les spectres du passé qui ressurgissent à cette occasion. Les souvenirs des saignées napoléoniennes se mêlent aux réminiscences d’une gloire dont l’ombre étouffe le prestige de la dynastie des Bourbons. La victoire est magnifiée par le régime qui entend par là asseoir sa légitimité.En Espagne, l’armée française triomphe facilement sur le terrain même où les armées impériales ont connu leurs premiers échecs. Mais le duc d’Angoulême qui conduit cette armée comprend rapidement que lorsque l’on intervient à main armée dans les affaires intérieures d’un état déchiré par la guerre civile, le problème majeur n’est pas d’obtenir une victoire militaire mais de préparer les lendemains de cette victoire.
Authority Control: Sharing Cataloguing Experiences Practiced at the Library of Open University of Sri Lanka
Authors: Gunasekera Damayanthi 
Published: August 2019

The article discusses the nature and importance of subject analysis and the retrieval tools used in subject authority control at the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL) library. The article documents the cataloguing practices used at OUSL library and how objectives of the catalogue as mentioned by Cutter are achieved by creating an efficient catalogue. Further, how authority control is done at the OUSL library to create an efficient catalogue which is needed for an efficient retrieval of information is also analyzed. The article explains further, the three types of authority files that are maintained by the OUSL library and the importance of maintaining authority control in digital environment. In addition to that, how cataloguing and classification are practiced to keep the consistency of the catalogue is also discussed. The purpose of the article is to inform others how OUSL has developed and maintained the authority lists with the aim of effective retrieval. The problem that influenced the author to write the article is that there are no proper guidelines available nationally to be used by the professionals. Each institution/country is responsible for authority headings for its own personal and corporate authors. IFLA emphasizes that national authority lists should be available in each country for everyone to use but it is not available in Sri Lanka. This article will be an eye opener for the LIS professionals to think about such as important attempt. The objective of the article is to share OUSL library practices among LIS professionals and to inform the value of maintaining authority control in digital environment. Action research method was applied to conduct the study to achieve the objective. Archival data and author experiences were used to write the article. Survey and observation methods were used to collect archival data. Accordingly, findings were presented with examples. Further, included in the discussion are the requirements for effective subject retrieval from OPAC, bibliographic databases, full text systems, digital archives and the Internet. It attempts to project the nature of subject analysis systems requirements into the future and to draw some conclusions about what new information professionals should be taught and what skills they need to acquire to develop and operate subject analysis systems into the next century. Finally, it challenges information professionals to seize the opportunity and to take responsibility for subject analysis in retrieval of information now and into the future.
Millennials’ Service Quality Expectations: A Challenge for Academic Librarians
Authors: Somaratna Sajeewanie D. 
Published: August 2019

Millennials, the users of today’s academic libraries are socially and culturally more diverse than previous generations. They are Internet savvy, always connected to social media and leaning to multitasking. The purpose of this study was to explore the millennials’ expectations of service quality of academic libraries and specific objectives were set; to assess millennials’ expectations of service quality, to identify the most important service quality attributes and to identify millennials’ anticipation of spending of limited library allocation. A user survey was conducted among the first year Science students of University of Colombo and 250 questionnaires were distributed among the students. The survey questionnaire was designed taking inputs from SERVQUAL and LibQUAL models and included questions on user expectations of the service quality (physical facilities, library resource, library services, and staff), most important service quality attributes and user anticipation of spending of library allocation. In addition, open questions on the additional expectations of library service quality. Students rated their expectations in a five-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree (lowest) to strongly agree (highest). Most of the service quality attributes were selected by millennials with more than 80% expectation level and “Internet connectivity and Wi-Fi facilities in the library” (2.237) was ranked as the most important service quality attribute for each student followed by “comprehensive printed resources” (2.167), “convenient library opening hours”(2.08), “self-study areas” (1.878) and “group study areas” (1.872). According to the millennials’ anticipation of limited library allocation, 87% of the students selected the library collection development is more important than the improvement of physical facilities (13%). They selected the development of the printed collection (52%) over the electronic collection (48%) and library learning space expansion (84%) over the improvement of library equipment (16%). Library administration needs to discuss these specific needs of “always connected” generation and address them very carefully to build up a strong relationship between the millennials and the academic library.
Application of Marketing Mix Elements to Improve Customer Satisfaction of Main Library, University of Colombo
Authors: Johoran S. S. 
Published: August 2019

This research study focuses on the application of marketing mix elements mainly Product, Price, Place and Promotion to improve user satisfaction of a library. Libraries need to adopt marketing mix strategies in order to retain existing users and to attract more users to the library. The main objective of this study was to identify which element among product, price, place and promotion mostly affect library user satisfaction. This study involved 364 library users who were selected using Stratified Random Sampling technique. The sample size was determined by using Krejcie & Morgan’s “table for determining sample size of a given population”. Self-Administrated Questionnaires were used for data collection from the sample. Data analysis and presentation were done using SPSS and Microsoft Excel 2013 software packages. The major objective of this study was tested using stepwise multiple regression analysis and the specific objectives were tested using Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The result depicts that, there is a positive linear correlation between these four variables and library user satisfaction. There is a strong positive relationship between Product & Promotion elements with the library user satisfaction, when compared with other two elements. The result indicates that Promotion element had a significant impact on library user satisfaction. Library can focus more on promotion element and consider more on effective promotion methods in order to improve library user satisfaction. Survey results indicate that, 26% of the users prefer receiving emails regarding library services mostly as a promotional method. 41% of the respondents have stated that, library does not use effective promotion methods. Library can interact with their users through social networking, especially via Facebook. And most importantly a good word of mouth regarding the library may increase the positive image of the library and it would result in gaining more users. This research study is significant since the library administration can identify and develop favourable marketing strategies to improve user satisfaction by considering the marketing mix elements; product, price, place and especially promotion.

Single-Laboratory Validation of AOAC Official Method 2011.10 for Vitamin B12 in ‘Indian’ Infant and Pediatric Formulas and Adult Nutritionals
Authors: Amritkar Priti N , Gujar Laxman , Mittal Ashutosh Kumar , Sheshadri Anand , Girdhar Rajesh , Mitra Ranjan 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Background: Ensuring the quality of infant and pediatric formulas and adult nutritionals is of utmost importance for the health and safety of rapidly urbanizing Indian population. B12 is an important water-soluble vitamin, which is fortified externally in such nutritional formulations. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has a recommended microbiological assay–based method for determination of vitamin B12 that is not precise and accurate enough to meet the label claim requirements of infant, adult, and/or pediatric nutritionals. The AOAC Official Method 2011.10 was originally developed under the AOAC Stakeholder Panel on Infant Formula and Adult Nutritionals (SPIFAN) for the determination of vitamin B12 in infant and pediatric formulas and adult nutritionals. However, those SPIFAN matrixes did not contain malt and other indigenous cereal and legume flour (with or without cocoa powder), which are commonly found in Indian formulations. Thus, there is a need to replace this method with a more precise and accurate method. Objective: This study was undertaken to validate the AOAC Official Method 2011.10 on vitamin B12 in ‘Indian’ infant and pediatric formulas and adult nutritionals. Methods: The single-laboratory validation (SLV) of AOAC Method 2011.10 was carried out as per the AOAC Guidelines in six Indian pediatric and adult nutritional formulas to verify its fitness for purpose. Cobalamin in the sample was converted to cyanocobalamin on treatment with potassium cyanide. The sample was then subjected to clean up through a C18 cartridge. Vitamin B12 in the eluted extract was separated from other components using size-exclusion column chromatography followed by a C18 column. The HPLC analysis was carried out at 550 nm. Results: Diastase treatment and C18 solid-phase extraction cleanup satisfactorily removed the matrix interference. The relative standard deviation of the determined values in 30 samples each from 6 selected Indian products and NIST SRM 1849a was &lt;20%. The average recoveries for the spiked recovery samples ranged from 91.75 to 101.14%. Conclusions: Method 2011.10 met the standard method performance requirements set forth by the AOAC SPIFAN. Therefore, we recommend the Method 2011.10 for adoption as the BIS official method for the analysis of vitamin B12 in ‘Indian’ infant and pediatric formulas and adult nutritionals. Highlights: This was the first SLV project that the AOAC India section undertook to extend the scope of the AOAC Method 2011.10 for vitamin B12 analysis by validating it in ‘Indian’ infant and pediatric formulas and adult nutritionals.
Optimum design of a spur gear using a two level optimization approach
Authors: Brahim MAHIDDINI 
Published: August 2019

In this paper, we present a two level optimization approach in order to enhance the design process of a one-stage speed reducer. The proposed design methodology is performed using genetic algorithms which are judiciously combined with the use of :i) analytical models (1stlevel) and ii) Finite Element Method (FEM)based models ( 2nd level), to evaluate design candidates. Indeed, the use of CAD-CAE tools to develop higher fidelity FEM models allows to re-evaluate the attained first level designs, while accounting for new design parameters and advanced aspects which have been ignored in the first level. In order to minimize the computational burden, a metamodel based optimization technique is adopted at this second level. To illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach, a case study of a spur gear based reducer is presented where the design of experiments is built using Hypercube Latin Sampling and surrogate models are constructed using Radial Basic Functions.
Case Report: Postvaccination Anti–Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Kumar Neha , Graven Kelsey , Joseph Nancy I. , Johnson John , Fulton Scott , Hostoffer Robert , Abboud Hesham 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Stimulation of the immune response after vaccination can occasionally result in adverse effects, including demyelination of the central nervous system. The most common presentation of postvaccination demyelination is acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, but cases of optic neuritis, transverse myelitis, and multiple sclerosis relapses have been reported. More recently, an increasing number of postvaccination neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) cases have surfaced in the literature, especially in patients with aquaporin-4 antibodies. In this article, we report an unusual case of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody–related NMOSD after the receipt of multiple vaccines in a first-trimester pregnant woman from Africa. We review the reported cases of postvaccination demyelination in the past decade, with a focus on the relationship between NMOSD and vaccination in patients with aquaporin-4 or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies. Finally, we discuss the clinical relevance of the present case and similar reported cases as it relates to patient care in the neuroimmunology clinic and identify potential areas for future research.
Mood and Mobility
Authors: Coyne Richard 
Published: August 2019

An argument that as we engage with social media on our digital devices we receive, modify, intensify, and transmit moods.
We are active with our mobile devices; we play games, watch films, listen to music, check social media, and tap screens and keyboards while we are on the move. In Mood and Mobility, Richard Coyne argues that not only do we communicate, process information, and entertain ourselves through devices and social media; we also receive, modify, intensify, and transmit moods. Designers, practitioners, educators, researchers, and users should pay more attention to the moods created around our smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
Drawing on research from a range of disciplines, including experimental psychology, phenomenology, cultural theory, and architecture, Coyne shows that users of social media are not simply passive receivers of moods; they are complicit in making moods. Devoting each chapter to a particular mood—from curiosity and pleasure to anxiety and melancholy—Coyne shows that devices and technologies do affect people's moods, although not always directly. He shows that mood effects are transitional; different moods suit different occasions, and derive character from emotional shifts. Furthermore, moods are active; we enlist all the resources of human sociability to create moods. And finally, the discourse about mood is deeply reflexive; in a kind of meta-moodiness, we talk about our moods and have feelings about them. Mood, in Coyne's distinctive telling, provides a new way to look at the ever-changing world of ubiquitous digital technologies.
