Quality partnerships: The community stakeholders' view
Authors: Netshandama Vhonani 
Published: February 2015

Since 1997 universities in South Africa have been encouraged to be responsive to the needs of communities, to encourage broader participation and to address issues of access in higher education (Department of Education 1997). This transformative agenda was found to be especially compelling in the case of rural-based South African universities, which often serve historically disadvantaged black populations in areas that are both under-resourced and underdeveloped (Nkomo & Sehoole 2007, pp. 235–36). In 2006 the traditional leadership of a local community approached the University of Venda to propose a partnership. This prompted the researcher to conduct a qualitative study, which sought to explore and describe community members’ views of what they understood to be a quality partnership. Thirty-seven community representatives were engaged in individual as well as focus group interviews. These representatives were identified first through a stakeholder analysis procedure that sought to determine who in the community would have valuable input for the university-community partnership. As a point of departure, the following two questions were asked consecutively: What are your needs and expectations of a partnership with the university and what would you regard as a quality partnership between the HEI and the community? The sample selection was purposive, utilising the snowball technique. Data was transcribed and analysed using Tesch’s eight-step method (Tesch 1990, in Creswell 1994, p. 155). Interview data and field notes were co-coded, crosschecked and triangulated. Feedback workshops were conducted with the community to confirm the findings. A consensus was reached that four main requirements emerged from the data:
—Balance the partnership objectives of both parties
—Ensure an unexploitative partnership
—Share power and control in the partnership
—Maintain and monitor the partnership.

This article provides a brief overview of the national and regional context to university-community engagement and considers what it means to partner with communities facing urgent and pressing needs. It then looks in detail at what the study revealed about community members’ understanding of quality partnerships with a Higher Education Institution, and provides some thoughts on how to facilitate a quality partnership in a similar context.

Sustainable Engagement? Reflections on the development of a creative community-university partnership
Authors: Shea Jennifer 
Published: February 2015

Recognising the untapped potential of multiple discrete community-university partnerships (CUPs) in San Francisco, San Francisco’s Neighborhood Empowerment Network (NEN) and the Institute for Civic and Community Engagement at San Francisco State University are in the midst of creating a collaborative community-university partnership called NEN University (NENu),which includes other Bay Area institutions of higher education as well as city agencies, non-profit organisations, businesses and neighbourhood resident leaders. This article reflects on the author’s experiences and observations in the ‘doing’ of engaged scholarship as it relates to NENu over the past two years. It contributes to the discussion of how best to build sustainable (in that they have staying power beyond the commitment of a few key individuals) and effective (in terms of building or strengthening communities) CUPs. In so doing it offers a framework for understanding possible threats to the sustainability of CUPs and applies that framework to an account of NENu’s partnership development process. The article concludes with implications for research and practice.

Culture, regeneration and community: Reinventing the city
Authors: Hyslop Donald 
Published: February 2015

It is just over 12 years since the doors of Tate Modern in London were opened. In converting Gilbert Giles Scott’s Bankside Power Station into a museum we planned for two million visitors in the first year but received over five million – a number exceeding our wildest expectations. Year after year the high levels of attendance continues and now we are very much part of the cultural landscape, not only in the UK but across the world. This article explores the development, challenges and successes of what has become known as the Tate Modern ‘project’. While the museum and its collection is undoubtedly at the project's heart, it also involves a comprehensive strategy to utilise creative organisations and creative thinking in the development, regeneration and reinvention of a key area of a major world city. Central to this model of engaged working are a series of basic challenges:

—how can the various needs of local communities, workers and tourists be balanced when developing an area?
—how can cultural organisations and other businesses work together, and can culture be good for business?
—what is the best way to engage and encourage political leadership and advocacy?
—what is the best way to develop an organisation which not only works within local, national and international contexts but makes connections between them?
—what are the opportunities to bring artists, creative forces and ideas into urban development and the places and spaces in which we live our everyday lives?

It is hoped that this article will help us think about, imagine and practically develop the neighbourhoods and communities that we aspire to create.

Access to health services in Western Newfoundland, Canada: Issues, barriers and recommendations emerging from a community-engaged research project
Authors: Hippe Janelle , Maddalena Victor , Heath Sara , Jesso Beulah , McCahon Marion , Olson Kim 
Published: February 2015

Research indicates that people living in rural and remote areas of Canada face challenges to accessing health services. This article reports on a community-engaged research project conducted by investigators at Memorial University of Newfoundland in collaboration with the Rural Secretariat Regional Councils and Regional Partnership Planners for the Corner Brook–Rocky Harbour and Stephenville–Port aux Basques Rural Secretariat Regions of Newfoundland and Labrador. The aim of this research was to gather information on barriers to accessing health services, to identify solutions to health services’ access issues and to inform policy advice to government on enhancing access to health services. Data was collected through: (1) targeted distribution of a survey to communities throughout the region, and (2) informal ‘kitchen table’ discussions to discuss health services’ access issues. A total of 1049 surveys were collected and 10 kitchen table discussions were held. Overall, the main barriers to care listed in the survey included long wait times, services not available in the area and services not available at time required. Other barriers noted by survey respondents included transportation problems, financial concerns, no medical insurance coverage, distance to travel and weather conditions. Some respondents reported poorer access to maternal/child health and breast and cervical screening services and a lack of access to general practitioners, pharmacy services, dentists and nurse practitioners. Recommendations that emerged from this research included improving the recruitment of rural physicians, exploring the use of nurse practitioners, assisting individuals with travel costs, developing specialist outreach services, increasing use of telehealth services and initiating additional rural and remote health research.Keywords: rural, remote, healthcare, health services, social determinants of health
The Use of Common Carriers to Control Internal Capacity:
Authors: Saunders Lance W. , Bell John E. , Sawhney Rapinder (Rupy) 
Published: February 2015

AbstractThe use of common carriers to supplement private and dedicated resources has increasingly become a strategy that many transportation providers are utilizing to control internal capacity. This problem has been addressed in the literature, but primarily from a cost perspective. We utilize a survey of industry participants to gather data on the maturity of this process in practice, as well as the drivers that are most influencing the decision of what routes to assign to private/dedicated resources versus common carriers. The results show a primarily manual process, as decision models do not currently incorporate the customer service and asset utilization factors that practitioners say are driving this decision. We then discuss how this is an opportunity to develop analytic solutions that allow transportation providers the ability to improve implementation of this very important decision.

Introdução: O monitoramento da glicose pelo portador de diabetes melito é importante na prevenção de complicações clínicas. Objetivo: Comparar a intensidade de dor nas punções em lóbulo da orelha e polpa digital e a interferência do local de punção sobre os valores do exame de glicemia capilar. Método: Estudo exploratório, descritivo e quantitativo. Participaram 70 portadores de diabetes melito. A monitorização foi realizada ao acaso, com glicosímetro G-TECH Free 1®. Para avaliação da intensidade da dor, utilizou-se uma escala numérica graduada em 0 (ausente), 1 (muito leve), 2 (leve), 3 (moderada) e 4 (intensa). Resultados: Para os portadores de diabetes melito Tipo 1, a glicemia média foi de 274,38±22,64 mg/dL para lóbulo da orelha e de 298,33±4,58 mg/dL para polpa digital. Para DM Tipo 2, os valores foram 187,19±9,85 mg/dL para lóbulo da orelha e 195,41±10,47 mg/dL para polpa digital. Houve correlação entre as glicemias encontradas nos dois locais de punção. Para os portadores de diabetes melito Tipo 1, observou-se ausência de dor (0) em lóbulo da orelha e polpa digital com 1,86±0,12. Para portadores de diabetes melito Tipo 2, obteve-se que a média de intensidade de dor para lóbulo da orelha foi de 0,06±0,03 e para polpa digital, 1,75±0,09. Conclusão: Houve diferença estatística quanto ao índice glicêmico gerado pelos diferentes locais. Menor intensidade de dor foi observada quando o teste é realizado no lóbulo da orelha, sendo uma boa opção para o local de exame.

Published: February 2015

A institucionalização do sujeito adoecido privilegiou o modelo médico científico e subordinou a autonomia da família no cuidado à pessoa com necessidades de saúde ao hospital e ao saber médico. No entanto, esse modelo tem se mostrado pouco eficiente para o atendimento das demandas de saúde resultantes da transição demográfica e epidemiológica pelas quais a sociedade vem passando. Nesse contexto, a atenção domiciliar surge como alternativa ao cuidado hospitalar, possibilitando a retomada do lar como espaço para produção de cuidado, fundamentada nos princípios da humanização e da clínica ampliada, evitando hospitalizações desnecessárias e possibilitando um uso mais adequado dos recursos disponíveis. Esta revisão narrativa da literatura aborda o cuidado domiciliar no contexto da atenção básica de saúde. Contemplam suas definições, princípios, objetivos, aspectos organizacionais, elegibilidade de sujeitos para o cuidado domiciliar, classificação de risco familiar, função de cada membro da equipe de saúde da família, construção de tecnologias de cuidado e o desenvolvimento de um eficiente sistema de registro de dados.
Compulsão alimentar e obesidade no climatério: uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Conte Franciéli Aline , Franz Lígia Beatriz Bento , Idalêncio Vanessa Huber 
Published: February 2015

O climatério é uma fase de mudanças distintas na vida das mulheres caracterizada principalmente pelo hipoestrogenismo, por muitas mudanças fisiológicas e sintomas diversos. Devido à importante relevância desse tema à sociedade, buscou-se abordar a relação entre a compulsão alimentar e a obesidade no climatério. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura por meio de busca científica de meio eletrônico e livros, a partir do ano de 2003, nas fontes de dados: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Biblioteca Regional de Medicina (BIREME), Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e Google Acadêmico. O sobrepeso e a obesidade são mais prevalentes no climatério, sendo a alimentação e o estilo de vida diretamente ligados a esses fatores. A ansiedade e o estresse podem dar origem a um problema muito comum e que repercute diretamente na alimentação e na não adesão às intervenções nutricionais: a compulsão por alimentos, conhecida como transtorno da compulsão alimentar periódica (TCAP). O climatério provoca o aumento da ansiedade e labilidade emocional pelo hipoestrogenismo, e o alívio da ansiedade ou estresse se dá, na maioria das vezes, pelo consumo de comida, o que favorece a obesidade e o aparecimento do TCAP.
PRIMELT3 MEGA.XLSM software for primary magma calculation: Peridotite primary magma MgO contents from the liquidus to the solidus
Authors: Herzberg C. , Asimow P. D. 
Published: February 2015

AbstractAn upgrade of the PRIMELT algorithm for calculating primary magma composition is given together with its implementation in PRIMELT3 MEGA.xlsm software. It supersedes PRIMELT2.xls in correcting minor mistakes in melt fraction and computed Ni content of olivine, it identifies residuum mineralogy, and it provides a thorough analysis of uncertainties in mantle potential temperature and olivine liquidus temperature. The uncertainty analysis was made tractable by the computation of olivine liquidus temperatures as functions of pressure and partial melt MgO content between the liquidus and solidus. We present a computed anhydrous peridotite solidus in T‐P space using relations amongst MgO, T and P along the solidus; it compares well with experiments on the solidus. Results of the application of PRIMELT3 to a wide range of basalts shows that the mantle sources of ocean islands and large igneous provinces were hotter than oceanic spreading centers, consistent with earlier studies and expectations of the mantle plume model.
The emergence of volcanic oceanic islands on a slow‐moving plate: The example of Madeira Island, NE Atlantic

Published: February 2015

AbstractThe transition from seamount to oceanic island typically involves surtseyan volcanism. However, the geological record at many islands in the NE Atlantic—all located within the slow‐moving Nubian plate—does not exhibit evidence for an emergent surtseyan phase but rather an erosive unconformity between the submarine basement and the overlying subaerial shield sequences. This suggests that the transition between seamount and island may frequently occur by a relative fall of sea level through uplift, eustatic changes, or a combination of both, and may not involve summit volcanism. In this study, we explore the consequences for island evolutionary models using Madeira Island (Portugal) as a case study. We have examined the geologic record at Madeira using a combination of detailed fieldwork, biostratigraphy, and
geochronology in order to document the mode, timing, and duration of edifice emergence above sea level. Our study confirms that Madeira's subaerial shield volcano was built upon the eroded remains of an uplifted seamount, with shallow marine sediments found between the two eruptive sequences and presently located at 320–430 m above sea level. This study reveals that Madeira emerged around 7.0–5.6 Ma essentially through an uplift process and before volcanic activity resumed to form the subaerial shield volcano. Basal intrusions are a likely uplift mechanism, and their emplacement is possibly enhanced by the slow motion of the Nubian plate relative to the source of partial melting. Alternating uplift and subsidence episodes suggest that island edifice growth may be governed by competing dominantly volcanic and dominantly intrusive processes.

Published: February 2015

AbstractWe observed a long‐lasting dust event from 25 May to 2 June 2014, using a polarization optical particle counter (POPC). The transport of dust plumes over East Asia was verified on the basis of observations of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, a lidar network, and surface synoptic observation stations. Mixing of dust and anthropogenic pollutants was investigated according to the variation in the depolarization ratio as a function of particle size. The nonsphericity of dust particles varied due to the impact of anthropogenic pollutants on their pathway. In the coarse mode, dust particles always had a clear nonspherical configuration, although large amounts of nitrate were also present. Supermicron particles are occasionally present in a spherical configuration, possibly due to the complex mixing of natural dust and anthropogenic particles. Statistically, ~64% of the total nitrate mass was deemed to be transported from outside of Japan due to a trapping effect in the dust plume.
Atmospheric initial conditions and the predictability of the Arctic Oscillation
Authors: Stockdale Timothy N. , Molteni Franco , Ferranti Laura 
Published: February 2015

AbstractThe Arctic Oscillation (AO) is the leading mode of variation in the northern hemisphere winter circulation. Despite its importance for winter temperatures, seasonal forecast models typically suggest that its predictability is low. Nonetheless, we show that an operational forecast model has high skill in predicting the AO, with a correlation of 0.61 for the period of 1981–2010. Experimentation covering a recent 8 year high‐skill period demonstrates the predictability of the model AO to be dominated by atmospheric initial conditions, although surface forcing does have increasing influence later in the winter. Results suggest that the stratosphere is an important carrier of model predictability during the early winter. These results challenge the conventional paradigm of surface forcing being the dominant source of predictability on seasonal time scales but are compatible with the results showing stratospheric influence on winter circulation. They also suggest that model representation of stratospheric to tropospheric coupling needs urgent improvement.
Effects of Kuroshio Intrusions on the atmosphere northeast of Taiwan Island
Authors: Chow Chun Hoe , Liu Qinyu , Xie Shang‐Ping 
Published: February 2015

AbstractThe Kuroshio loses bathymetric support off northeast Taiwan Island, causing large variability in its path. The resultant covariability of sea surface temperature (SST) and the lower atmosphere is investigated using satellite observations. In winter and spring off northeast Taiwan Island, the intrusions of warm Kuroshio water onto the continental shelf cause a large increase in local SST, intensify the northeasterly monsoonal winds, and lead to the increases in water vapor and rainfall. Key to this air‐sea interaction is the existence of anomalous heat advection by the Kuroshio intrusions. The Kuroshio intrusions are partly due to westward propagating ocean eddies east of Taiwan Island with a lead time of 3 weeks, hinting at the possibility of improved weather prediction near northeast Taiwan Island by considering ocean variability east of Taiwan Island.

AbstractThe Van Allen Probes Helium Oxygen Proton Electron (HOPE) instrument measures the high‐energy tail of the thermal plasmasphere allowing study of topside ionosphere and inner magnetosphere coupling. We statistically analyze a 22 month period of HOPE data, looking at quiet times with a Kp index of less than 3. We investigate the high‐energy range of the plasmasphere, which consists of ions at energies between 1 and 10 eV and contains approximately 5% of total plasmaspheric density. Both the fluxes and partial plasma densities over this energy range show H+ is depleted the most in the postmidnight sector (1–4 magnetic local time), followed by O+ and then He+. The relative depletion of each species across the postmidnight sector is not ordered by mass, which reveals ionospheric influence. We compare our results with keV energy electron data from HOPE and the Van Allen Probes Electric Fields and Waves instrument spacecraft potential to rule out spacecraft charging. Our conclusion is that the postmidnight ion disappearance is due to diurnal ionospheric temperature variation and charge exchange processes.
Intensities and spatiotemporal variability of equatorial noise emissions observed by the Cluster spacecraft
Authors: Němec F. , Santolík O. , Hrbáčková Z. , Cornilleau‐Wehrlin N. 
Published: February 2015

AbstractEquatorial noise (EN) emissions are electromagnetic waves observed in the equatorial region of the inner magnetosphere at frequencies between the proton cyclotron frequency and the lower hybrid frequency. We present the analysis of 2229 EN events identified in the Spatio‐Temporal Analysis of Field Fluctuations (STAFF) experiment data of the Cluster spacecraft during the years 2001–2010. EN emissions are distinguished using the polarization analysis, and their intensity is determined based on the evaluation of the Poynting flux rather than on the evaluation of only the electric/magnetic field intensity. The intensity of EN events is analyzed as a function of the frequency, the position of the spacecraft inside/outside the plasmasphere, magnetic local time, and the geomagnetic activity. The emissions have higher frequencies and are more intense in the plasma trough than in the plasmasphere. EN events observed in the plasma trough are most intense close to the local noon, while EN events observed in the plasmasphere are nearly independent on magnetic local time (MLT). The intensity of EN events is enhanced during disturbed periods, both inside the plasmasphere and in the plasma trough. Observations of the same events by several Cluster spacecraft allow us to estimate their spatiotemporal variability. EN emissions observed in the plasmasphere do not change on the analyzed spatial scales (ΔMLT<0.2h, Δr<0.2 RE), but they change significantly on time scales of about an hour. The same appears to be the case also for EN events observed in the plasma trough, although the plasma trough dependencies are less clear.
