Published: January 2019

Background In-center hemodialysis (HD) has been the standard treatment for older dialysis patients, but reports suggest an associated decline in physical and cognitive function. Cross-sectional data suggest that assisted peritoneal dialysis (aPD), an alternative treatment, is associated with quality of life (QoL) outcomes that are comparable to in-center HD. We compared longitudinal changes in QoL between modalities. Methods We enrolled 106 aPD patients, matched with 100 HD patients from 20 renal centers in England and Northern Ireland. Patients were assessed quarterly for 2 years using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), SF-12 physical and mental scores, symptom score, Illness Intrusiveness Rating Scale (IIRS), Barthel's score, and the Renal Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (RTSQ). Mixed model analysis was used to assess the impact of dialysis modality on these outcomes during follow-up. P values were adjusted for multiple significance testing. Results Multivariate analysis showed no difference in any of the outcome measures between aPD and HD. Longitudinal trends in outcomes were also not significantly different. Higher age at baseline was associated with lower IIRS and RTSQ scores during follow-up. One-hundred and twenty-five (60.6%) patients dropped out of the study: 59 (28.6%) died, 61 (29.6%) withdrew during follow-up, and 5 (2.5%) were transplanted. Conclusions Quality of life outcomes in frail older aPD patients were equivalent to those receiving in-center HD. Assisted PD is thus a valid alternative to HD for older people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) wishing to dialyze at home.

Background Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a home-based therapy where nurses train patients in its use. There has been no published randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluating any specific protocol for nurses delivering PD training. A standardized education package based upon the best available evidence and utilizing modern educational practices may lead to improved patient outcomes. The aim is to develop a standardized, evidence-based curriculum for PD trainers and patients aligned with guidelines from the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis (ISPD), using best practice pedagogy. Methods A literature search and clinical audit were conducted to identify current practice patterns and best practice. Results were reviewed by a focus group of practitioners comprising PD nurses, nephrologists, consumers, a medical education expert, and an eLearning expert. From this, a training curriculum and modules were developed. Results A comprehensive PD training curriculum has been developed, which includes modules for training PD nurses (trainers) and patient training manuals. The package comprises 2 introductory modules and 2 clinical case modules. The curriculum is designed for both interactive digital media (trainers) and traditional paper-based teaching with practical demonstrations (patients). Assessment is also addressed. Conclusion The need for the development of a comprehensive and standardized curriculum for PD nurse trainers and their patients was confirmed. This paper outlines the process of the development of this curriculum. Pilot testing of the modules was launched in late 2017 to examine feasibility, and planning has commenced for a RCT in 2019 to investigate the effect of the modules on clinical outcomes, and their wider application across Australia and New Zealand.
Dans les bons comme dans les mauvais moments ?

Cet article se propose de comprendre si, et comment, les façons de localiser et de décrire les immeubles à Milan entre XVI e et XVII e siècle changent à la suite de l’inversion du cycle économique et démographique de la ville. Pendant la période sous observation, Milan passe d’une situation de croissance à une crise généralisée qui se manifeste en correspondance des turbulences financières des années 1619- 1622 et de la peste de 1630. En s’appuyant sur une série de sources différentes – actes de vente et d’achat des immeubles, expertises, plans et dessins des architectes et des ingénieurs, mémoires et suppliques des locataires, documents fiscaux, cadastraux et administratifs des magistratures urbaines –, cette enquête confirme l’existence d’un lien très fort entre les transformations sociales, économiques et matérielles connues par la ville et les changements de repères et de langage enregistrés par les documents.
L’îlot comme unité spatiale de référence
Authors: Marin Brigitte 
Published: January 2019

À Madrid, la Visita general de la Regalía de Aposento de 1750-1751, une vaste opération de mesure et de classification de l’espace réalisée pour l’administration fiscale, débouche sur l’affectation d’un numéro à chaque îlot, ainsi qu’à chaque maison en référence à cette unité morphologique de base. Aussi, cette enquête est-elle à l’origine d’un système de localisation et de repérage dans l’espace urbain qui reste en vigueur jusqu’en 1835, lorsqu’un numérotage des maisons par rue remplace celui par îlot. À partir des années 1760, les manzanas (îlots), identifiées par leur numéro, de 1 à 557, sont adoptées comme des unités spatiales de référence pour réaliser des enquêtes et des réformes urbaines, notamment dans les domaines sanitaires et policiers. Mais ce système de repérage ne reste pas confiné aux besoins de l’administration et, progressivement, les habitants ordinaires, dans leurs pratiques quotidiennes, s’approprient ce dispositif.
Se perdre et se retrouver dans le bazar de Mexico
Authors: Exbalin Arnaud 
Published: January 2019

A l’instar des cités du Nouveau Monde, la ville de Mexico se caractérise par son réseau de rues en damier. Il était a priori plus facile pour le quidam de s’y repérer que dans les capitales européennes au tracé de rues médiéval. Pourtant, au cœur de la capitale de la Nouvelle-Espagne, sur la Plaza Mayor se trouvait un immense marché, le Baratillo , décrit par les chroniqueurs de l’époque comme un labyrinthe tant les échoppes et les étals s’entremêlaient et formaient un réseau inextricable d’allées. Les chalands ne s’y retrouveraient guère et les auxiliaires de justice et de police étaient déroutés lors des appréhensions. En 1791, le bazar du Baratillo est éradiqué au terme d’un siècle de tentatives de réformes infructueuses. Un nouveau marché aux échoppes numérotées et alignées au cordeau est fondé sur une place adjacente à la Plaza Mayor. Cet article questionne les modalités de ce transfert et les enjeux liés au numérotage des boutiques.
Aménager l’espace et contrôler la population
Authors: Lucrezio Monticelli Chiara 
Published: January 2019

La mise en place des bureaux de police sur le territoire de Rome, commencée pendant la Repubblica giacobina et achevée avec l’institution de la première Direction Générale de police pontificale en 1816, implique la réalisation d’un nouveau système administratif dans la ville ainsi qu’une nouvelle conception de l’aménagement de l’espace. La géographie urbaine, modifiée d’abord avec la division en sections et circonscriptions, ensuite avec les giustizie di pace de la période napoléonienne, et enfin à travers l’institution des Presidenze regionarie di polizia pendant la Restauration, joue un rôle important dans la remise en cause de la modalité de repérage dans la ville. Mais c’est surtout le but principal de la police locale, à savoir la capacité à mesurer le territoire et à évaluer la population, que modifient profondément les pratiques administratives d’enregistrement et de localisation, aussi bien que leurs usages sociaux. Le mélange entre les sources abritées par les Archives Nationales de France (sous-séries Pays annexé ou dépendants et Police Générale ) et par l’Archivio di Stato de Rome (fonds Direzione Generale di Polizia e Miscellanea Statistica ), montre bien l’augmentation de la documentation (cartographies de quartiers, listes des habitants, registres de déplacements) liée à ces nouvelles compétences de l’institution policière. En plus, dans un contexte politico-institutionnel très particulier tel que l’État Pontifical, ces attributions administratives finissent par se superposer aux tâches de contrôle traditionnellement prises en charge par les magistratures urbaines ecclésiastiques, en premier lieu le réseau paroissial.
L’organisation d’une poste à domicile à Lisbonne durant la première moitié du xix e siècle
Authors: Vidal Frédéric 
Published: January 2019

Cet article s’intéresse aux processus d’identification des domiciles des habitants de Lisbonne à la fin de l’époque moderne. Il a pour objet d’étude de pratiques administratives mises en place au moment de l’organisation d’une poste à domicile, entre la fin du XVIII e siècle et le début du XIX e . Les étapes de l’organisation de ce service permettent d’observer, à travers la production d’un discours spécifique sur l’espace urbain mais aussi la mise en place de pratiques élémentaires et quotidiennes, le jeu d’influence et de confrontation entre différents modes de perception et d’identification de l’espace urbain. On cherche ici à comprendre en quoi l’usage de ces différents systèmes, qui sont perçus comme étant complémentaires plus qu’en opposition, renvoie à une tentative de prise en compte de la complexité croissante des modes d’habiter en ville à la fin de l’époque moderne.
Crédit et transfert de capitaux à Saragosse au xv e siècle
Authors: Viu Fandos María 
Published: January 2019

Parmi les méthodes de règlement et de virement les plus courantes en Aragon à la fin du Moyen Âge, la commande ( commenda ), était une formule très répandue qui permettait de réaliser des prêts et des investissements, apparemment sans intérêts. De plus, le document, simple reconnaissance de dette, a permis de masquer plusieurs transactions financières souvent difficiles à identifier. Dans cet article, nous allons nous concentrer sur les commandes passées devant Antón de Aldovera, notaire de Saragosse, spécialisé dans le secteur commercial. Au cours des années 1415-1440, près de 300 commandes ont été faites devant ce notaire par l’élite commerciale aragonaise, maniant des sommes de 20 à 3.000 florins d’Aragon. Notre objectif est d’analyser ces commandes, leur fonctionnement, leurs caractéristiques, les marchands impliqués, les montants négociés et, surtout, leur finalité.
Spatial heterodyne observations of water (SHOW) from a high-altitude airplane: characterization, performance, and first results

Published: January 2019

Abstract. The Spatial Heterodyne Observations of Water instrument (SHOW) is a
limb-sounding satellite prototype that utilizes the Spatial Heterodyne
Spectroscopy (SHS) technique, operating in a limb-viewing configuration, to
observe limb-scattered sunlight in a vibrational band of water vapour within
a spectral window from 1363 to 1366 nm. The goal is to retrieve high
vertical and horizontal resolution measurements of water vapour in the upper
troposphere and lower stratosphere. The prototype instrument has been
configured for observations from NASA's ER-2 high-altitude airborne remote
science airplane. Flying at a maximum altitude of ∼21.34 km with a
maximum speed of ∼760 km h−1, the
ER-2 provides a stable platform to simulate observations from a low-earth
orbit satellite. Demonstration flights were performed from the ER-2 during an
observation campaign from 15 to 22 July 2017. In this paper, we present the
laboratory characterization work and the level 0 to level 1 processing of
flight data that were obtained during an engineering flight performed on
18 July 2017. Water vapour profile retrievals are presented and compared to
in situ radiosonde measurements made of the same approximate column of air.
These measurements are used to validate the SHOW measurement concept and
examine the sensitivity of the technique.
The effect of animal assisted therapy on participants with dementia in a community respite program
Authors: Pope William Stuart , Yordy Morgan , Wang Chih-hsuan 
Published: January 2019

Cognitively impaired older adults pose challenges that include communication barriers that may contribute to social isolation of the individual and frustration by both the individual and caregivers. Healthcare professionals must to be prepared to speak to the distinctive requirements of this population. Innovative strategies are needed to improve the ability of caregivers and health professionals to establish effective communication. Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) is a complementary therapy that shows promise in providing emotional and social benefits to older adults in both clinical and community settings. This project aims to describe the benefits of incorporating AAT within a community respite program to enhance social engagement of cognitively impaired adults. In this project a group of subjects were exposed to two situations in an unsystematic order, visits with a dog and visits without a dog. The purpose was to compare each visit and its effect in improving engagement in those attending a community respite program. Throughout the study, respite attendees were encouraged to engage with dogs or the human visitor. In this study, AAT enhanced social engagement.

Abstract
Background: Quantitative multicomponent analysis is considered an analytical goal to save time and cost in analysis. Objective: This work aimed to provide sensitive and selective [successive ratio subtraction coupled with constant multiplication (SRS-CM) and chemometric] methods for the determination of coformulated antidiabetic drugs, namely canagliflozine and metformin or gliclazide and metformin in presence of metformin degradation product, 1-cyanoguanidine. Methods: SRS-CM method was developed for the determination of canagliflozin and metformin at 292 and 237 nm, respectively, using 14 μg/mL canagliflozin as a divisor in the first step to cancel the spectrum of canagliflozin. Then, 18 μg/mL metformin was used as a divisor in the second step to cancel the spectrum of metformin. Finally, we obtained the spectrum of cyanoguanidine. Chemometric method was applied for the determination of the gliclazide and metformin mixture in a 225–235 nm range. Sample enrichment technique was used to increase the concentration of canagliflozin or gliclazide to allow its simultaneous determination with metformin without prior separation. Results: Validation parameters according to the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines were satisfactory over the concentration ranges of 5 to 16 μg/mL for canagliflozin and metformin as well as 2.5 to 12.5 and 6 to 24 μg/mL for gliclazide and metformin, respectively. Conclusions: The method provides sufficient selectivity and accuracy to be applied for routine analysis and quality control in laboratories for the cited drugs. Highlights: This work shows two examples to how to select a suitable UV spectrophotometric method to overcome the spectral overlap.
From the President of RUSA: Everyday Decisions
Authors: Brown Ann K. G. 
Published: January 2019

RUSA, as defined by its vision, “is an influential and authoritative organization, essential to the work of anyone engaged in the practices of connecting people to resources, information services, and collections.” Since our vision was adopted in 2015 our world and that of libraries has definitively changed. We are fighting fake news, administering Narcan to overdosed patrons, and partnering with social services. This summer RUSA adopted a statement of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Libraries can no longer choose not to see the inequities that broader structural systems perpetuate.Often I hear, “What can I do? I’m just a librarian. I’m not the manager, the director, or a supervisor.” But there are other things you can do to lead from where you are through everyday decisions. Decisions made with awareness will help each of us become more savvy allies and advocates. We need to do this work so libraries can remain a trusted space. Here are a few ways you can get started.

Fans of Pat R. Scales are already familiar with her work for both Book List and School Library Journal. As a collection of her articles, essays, and interviews, Encourage Reading from the Startsupports librarians working with children’s and young adult literature. In “How Reading Shapes Us,” Scales discusses how the concept of “family” has evolved into a more diverse definition. Scales highlights authors, like Patricia Polacco, who have built a career drawing on family stories, leading readers to expand their world views through exposure to both familiar and diverse familial structures.
Book Review: Financial Management for Libraries
Authors: Agee Ann 
Published: January 2019

Function benchmarking, NPV, GASB—the vocabulary of budgets and finance can often seem like another language. Financial Management for Libraries clarifies these concepts by putting them in the context of real-life public and academic library management. For many years, the author, William Sannwald, presented budgeting workshops for the Library Leadership and Management Association (LLAMA), and he based this book on his teaching experience. Written for library science students and the accidental administrator faced with creating a budget, the book can serve as a primer to the entire process of financial management or as a reference resource to consult for guidance. As an aid to library school instructors, each chapter opens with learning objectives and closes with suggested exercises. Chapters also include helpful lists of references for more in-depth information on the topics covered.

She ably explains the importance of the proof and reliability of resources standards used by expert genealogists.
Book Review: Sustainable Thinking: Ensuring Your Library’s Future in an Uncertain World
Authors: Bartlett Jennifer A. 
Published: January 2019

Although the concept of “sustainability” has many possible meanings, its connection to environmental issues is perhaps the most familiar. Thus, a reader coming across Rebekkah Smith Aldrich’s new book might assume that it is primarily about how libraries can best demonstrate stewardship of environmental resources. While this is certainly one important piece of the discussion, Sustainable Thinking has a much larger goal: advocating the capacity of libraries to build communities, whether it be through environmental, financial, leadership, political, or other initiatives.
Book Review: 100 Great War Movies: The Real History Behind the Films
Authors: Whatley Edward 
Published: January 2019

The one hundred films covered by Robert Niemi’s 100 Great War Movies: The Real History Behind the Films were selected using an eclectic array of criteria (the preferences of the author based on his experience as a film teacher, the preferences of his friends and colleagues, and a survey of numerous best-of lists), and the result is of course a rather eclectic collection of entries. Coverage includes famous well-regarded films that most readers will expect to find in a collection such as this: The Bridge on the River Kwai, From Here to Eternity, and Saving Private Ryan. But readers will also encounter films with which they may not be as familiar, such as Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence starring David Bowie, and the film adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five. The films included also cover a wide range of ideological viewpoints: from patriotic World War II–era films to more recent films that take a more skeptical view of warfare.
Book Review: Artifacts from Ancient Egypt
Authors: Sprochi Amanda K. 
Published: January 2019

Artifacts from Ancient Egypt, a new title in the Greenwood Daily Life through Artifacts series, utilizes objects of daily life from ancient Egypt to illuminate the ways in which material culture reflects the lifeways of the people who produce it. In keeping with the general outline of the series, author Barbara Mendoza, a Berkeley-trained specialist in ancient Egyptian and eastern Mediterranean art and archaeology, has selected 45 pieces that reflect the customs, beliefs, and practices of ancient Egyptians from the earliest Predynastic era (ca. 5000 BCE) through the late Graeco-Roman period (ca. 300 CE). The material culture of ancient Egypt is particularly adapted to this kind of treatment, given its deeply ornamented and symbolic nature, and is an excellent beginner’s guide to understanding and interpreting how material culture reflects the society that created it.
Book Review: American Colonial Women and Their Art: An Encyclopedia
Authors: Hartsell-Gundy Arianne A. 
Published: January 2019

American Colonial Women and their Art: An Encyclopedia has a unique focus, which makes it an interesting addition for most libraries. Though there are reference works that explore women and art and reference works that cover the American colonial period, there is not a work that focuses specifically on the art of colonial women. In addition to the distinctive topic, this one volume edition not only includes recognizable names such as Abigail Adams and Phillis Wheatley, but also less well-known women, such as Mary Roberts (miniaturist), Sarah Bushnell Perkins Grosvenor (painter), and Elizabeth Foote Huntington (needle worker). This reference work should make for a great tool for any researcher wanting to discover the artistic contributions of specific women.
Book Review: Encyclopedia of Classic Rock
Authors: Koger Grove 
Published: January 2019

David Luhrssen (arts and entertainment editor of Shepherd Express, Milwaukee, WI) and Michael Larson (instructor, songwriter, recording artist, and attorney) have compiled a reference guide to the artists of what they call “classic rock.” Admitting that the meaning of the term “classic rock” is disputed, they explain that one of their aims is to rescue it from “careless usage” (xxi). Rock and roll, they assert, “reached a new level of ambition by 1965 and entered a period of remarkable innovation and expressiveness that lasted through 1975” (xxi).
