description: The Art Foundation (AFO) program is a prerequisite for entry into all visual art and design departments at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). As such, it provides an introduction to materials, strategies and ideas that will shape students futures in their chosen disciplines. The library is a critical resource for tools and expertise that would facilitate their creative research, but only if they take advantage of them. VCU Libraries provides books, magazines, specialized databases and software, multimedia studios and equipment loans, and even exhibition opportunities, as well as several subject specialists to help navigate them.

With support from the Art Foundation department chair, the Arts Research Librarian and the Multimedia Teaching & Learning Librarian collaborated to plan a targeted program to promote these relevant resources to AFO students and faculty. Previously scattered and sporadic outreach/instruction efforts were combined into a cohesive "Library Week," coalesced around the most useful aspects of the library for art students. We combined the Libraries' resources of art reference and instruction, creative technology spaces, and Special Collections & Archives, into one package, and utilized the Communications & PR team to maximize impact. The week included a pop-up library, art-focused library tours, software instruction, and curriculum-integrated orientations. Library Week was very well received and resulted in several requests for more in-depth instruction, faculty collaborations, and student engagement.

description: © 2018 Elsevier Ltd Soil pH and the availability of carbon (C) substrate and nutrients to microorganisms are well recognized to influence C priming. However, the mechanisms underpinning such interplay so far remain elusive. Given that liming acid soils, residue retention and fertilization are common agricultural practices, small changes in SOC content by these practices could have a big impact on the global C budget. This study aimed to gain insight into the impact of initial pH and mineral N availability on the priming effect of two C substrates with contrasting biodegradability. Stable 13C-labelled substrates, glucose and lignocellulose, were applied at the rate of 0.5 mg C g−1 soil with or without NH4NO3 to the same soil matrix with three different initial pH levels; pH 4.1 (strongly acidic), 4.7 (moderately acidic) and 6.6 (slightly acidic). The N treatment was based on a C:N of 10 of the added substrate (0.05 mg N g−1 soil) to ensure N was non-limiting. Interestingly, the priming effect was not linearly related to soil pH; greatest at pH 4.1, followed by pH 6.6 and lowest at pH 4.7. The greater net increase in microbial biomass upon C supply in strongly acidic soils compared to the moderately and slightly acidic soils would have enhanced co-metabolic decomposition of native soil organic C (SOC). The cumulative amount of primed SOC during the 30-day incubation period was greater in glucose- (21 μg C g−1) than lignocellulose-amended soils (13 μg C g−1). Nitrogen application reduced the C priming effect of both C substrates at all pH levels. This reduction was more prominent with lignocellulose and in the moderately acidic soils. The results suggest that maintaining optimal soil pH for nutrient availability and N application that exceeds the microbial N requirements in agricultural fields may minimize SOC loss via the priming effect in the short term.

description: Background: Indigenous peoples in developed countries have reduced life expectancies, particularly from chronic diseases. The lack of access to and take up of palliative care services of Indigenous peoples is an ongoing concern. Objectives: To examine and learn from published studies on provision of culturally safe palliative care service delivery to Indigenous people in Australia, New Zealand (NZ), Canada and the United States of America (USA); and to compare Indigenous peoples' preferences, needs, opportunities and barriers to palliative care. Methods: A comprehensive search of multiple databases was undertaken. Articles were included if they were published in English from 2000 onwards and related to palliative care service delivery for Indigenous populations; papers could use quantitative or qualitative approaches. Common themes were identified using thematic synthesis. Studies were evaluated using Daly's hierarchy of evidence-for-practice in qualitative research. Results: Of 522 articles screened, 39 were eligible for inclusion. Despite diversity in Indigenous peoples' experiences across countries, some commonalities were noted in the preferences for palliative care of Indigenous people: to die close to or at home; involvement of family; and the integration of cultural practices. Barriers identified included inaccessibility, affordability, lack of awareness of services, perceptions of palliative care, and inappropriate services. Identified models attempted to address these gaps by adopting the following strategies: community engagement and ownership; flexibility in approach; continuing education and training; a whole-of-service approach; and local partnerships among multiple agencies. Better engagement with Indigenous clients, an increase in number of palliative care patients, improved outcomes, and understanding about palliative care by patients and their families were identified as positive achievements. Conclusions: The results provide a comprehensive overview of identified effective practices with regards to palliative care delivered to Indigenous populations to guide future program developments in this field. Further research is required to explore the palliative care needs and experiences of Indigenous people living in urban areas.

The size-dependent static, free vibration and buckling behaviours of functionally graded (FG) sandwich plates are analysed in this study. Utilising the modified couple stress theory and variational principle, governing equations of motion are developed with a refined shear deformation theory. The rectangular plates embedded on two opposite simply-supported edges with the arbitrary combinations of the other two. Based on the state-space Levy solution, the deflections, stresses, natural frequencies and critical buckling loads are analytically solved for the closed-form formulations. The effects of material distribution and graded schemes, geometric parameters and boundary conditions are also investigated to examine the size-dependent behaviours of FG sandwich microplates.

description: © 2018, Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature. Background & aim: It is unclear how elevated CO2 (eCO2) affects the response of crops to soil acidity. This study examined the effect of eCO2 on acid-soil tolerance of hexaploid wheat genotypes that vary in Al3+ resistance due to differences in root efflux of citrate and malate. Methods: Three pairs of near-isogenic lines were grown for 24–25 days under ambient CO2 (400 µmol mol-1) and eCO2 (800 µmol mol-1) in acid soils and hydroponics with various Al3+ concentrations. The lines consisted of pairs that differed in alleles of the TaALMT1 and TaMATE1B genes. Plant growth parameters and rhizosphere soil properties were measured. Results: Elevated CO2 increased the slope of negative correlations between root and shoot biomass and Al3+ concentration in the rhizosphere of a line that has an Al3+-sensitive allele of the TaALMT1 gene conditioning malate efflux (ES8), but did not change that of a near-isogenic sister line with an Al3+-resistant TaALMT1 allele (ET8). Elevated CO2 decreased the relative root length and biomass (% of limed soil) of a line that lacked both malate and citrate efflux (Egret), but did not affect lines that possessed either malate or citrate efflux. Elevated CO2 had no effect on either malate or citrate efflux from root tips of Al3+-resistant lines. Elevated CO2 also increased Al3+ concentration and decreased NH4+ concentration in rhizosphere soil, but decreased concentrations of Al and Zn in shoots. Conclusions: Elevated CO2 decreased acid-soil tolerance of Al3+sensitive genotypes but not of Al3+ resistant genotypes. Malate efflux played a dominant role in conferring acid-soil tolerance to hexaploid wheat.

description: Reparative cataloging is some of the most transformative work being done in libraries today. Old terms are being reexamined and either updated or cast aside, while new terms are emerging that reflect the diversity of our times. Many of these evolving vocabularies, however, appear at first glance to be created and carefully guarded by large, somewhat intimidating institutions. This leads many catalogers to feel as if they have no role in changing and expanding these vocabularies, but that is just not the case. What this panel intends to do is bring together librarians from a range of libraries to help demystify the process of submitting terms to various controlled vocabularies. There will be presentations on contributing Library of Congress subject headings and name authority records, adding to or correcting terms in the Getty Vocabularies, and creating or revising records in Wikidata. These presentations will provide practical guidance necessary for catalogers to begin confidently contributing to vocabularies used by libraries worldwide. Attendees will gain confidence in their ability to participate in the maintenance and transformation of these essential resources. By broadening and diversifying the pool of contributors to these vocabularies, we can ensure that they begin to more accurately reflect the diversity of people and communities who rely on them.

description: Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) significantly improves automotive safety by braking the vehicle autonomously before a collision occurs. Yet current commercial systems underperform, particularly in the presence of uncertainty about the vehicle or road surface.The method presented in this work namely, Active Learning for Active Safety AEB (ALASAEB), addresses these issues by developing a complete AEB system that focuses on three key components. First, a Dual Control for Exploration-Exploitation (DCEE) approach is applied to solve the maximum braking problem, achieving effective braking performance across a wide range of road surfaces and velocities. A significant contribution of this work is that a modified Regularized Particle Filter is used to estimate vehicle states and parameters of the Magic Formula tyre model including the peak friction coefficient for the environment.Compared with popular Extremum Seeking methods and the Bosch ABS model, this DCEE approach to maximal braking reduces stopping time by up to 25%. Secondly, an online driver-in-the-loop solution to identify critical parameters such as the current and maximum friction coefficients is required for effective AEB operation in unknown environments. A method, namely Torque Vectoring for Active Learning (TVAL) is introduced that can perform state and parameter estimation whilst following the driver’s input. This is designed to ensure minimal disruption to the driver, allowing them to maintain full control of the vehicle. Then, a scheme for practically implementing TVAL is introduced, which considers powertrain efficiency, safety, and feasibility in an online fashion. Using a high-fidelity vehicle model and drive cycle, the functionality of the TVAL controller is demonstrated across changing road surfaces, where the road surface is succesfully identified whenever possible.Finally, by the virtue of modelling each component as a Discrete Event System, this thesis exploits Supervisory Control Theory to design a monolithic AEB supervisor, supported by an active learning approach, to prevent all possible collisions. This brings together all aspects of the Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) functionality into a unified model, namely ALAS-AEB. ALAS-AEB is verified by the ISO22733 test standard and further evaluated using a City Scenario that fully demonstrates the benefits of the proposed method.

This study aims to investigate the postbuckling response of functionally graded (FG) nanoplates by using the nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen to capture the size effect. In addition, Reddy's third-order shear deformation theory is adopted to describe the kinematic relations, while von Kámán's assumptions are used to account for the geometrical nonlinearity. In order to calculate the effective material properties, the Mori-Tanaka scheme is adopted. Governing equations are derived based on the principle of virtual work. Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is employed as a discretization tool, which is able to satisfy the C1-continuity demand efficiently. The Newton-Raphson iterative technique with imperfections is employed to trace the postbuckling paths. Various numerical studies are carried out to examine the influences of gradient index, nonlocal effect, ratio of compressive loads, boundary condition, thickness ratio and aspect ratio on the postbuckling behaviour of FG nanoplates.
A sociological approach to resilience in health and illness

description: © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Work on resilience in health and illness has been approached from a number of perspectives. These are the biological and psychosocial with a focus on the individual's responses to cope and adapt to changing circumstances wrought by changing physical health states. This we argue has a place but is far too narrow emphasizing the neoliberal view that the sick or imperfect individual is ultimately responsible for their own health outcomes. In this perspective, the individual's failure to cope or adapt may be seen as a personal failure to interact with the health system on offer. A broader sociological approach focuses on the overarching sociopolitical system within which health and illness occur and looks at the role of concepts such as growing social and economic inequity and the process by which neoliberalism establishes the framework of unequal opportunity and life chances. At this broader level, resilience relates to interplay between the sociopolitical and health systems and the individual. It is the role of the health system to provide opportunities, and supports and to reduce inequities to promote healthy lifestyle and beneficial coping approaches. We aim to understand and describe the mechanisms and opportunities afforded to individuals by their place in the social structure and to argue for health reform that makes a health system that assists all individuals be resilient. Longitudinal data from the Australian Epilepsy Longitudinal Survey are used to understand how income, inequity, and social isolation affect resilience over time.

description: © 2018 Elsevier Ltd Purpose: Human resilience refers to the processes of positive adaptation and development in the context of perceived significant threats to an individual's life or function. This paper analyses the psychometric properties and performance of the English version 14-item Resilience Scale (RS) in an Australian outpatient sample of men (n = 209) with advanced prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used to collect data from a purposive sample of men. The instrument's psychometric properties were rated against established criteria for reliability (internal consistency), construct validity (instrument dimensionality) and variability (floor and ceiling effect). Exploratory and confirmatory factor-analyses were performed. Results: The English version 14-item RS demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.91). A greater than 15% ceiling effect suggested limited data variability. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that items in the instrument measured primarily as a single factor with a good model of fit (RMSEA = 0.059; TLI = 0. 950, CFI = 0.962). Conclusion: The English version 14-item RS had satisfactory psychometric properties to capture the concept of resilience in an Australian outpatient sample of men with advanced prostate cancer, with some questions regarding detection of variability for ceiling effect. Further psychometric evaluation of the instrument in other adult clinical settings is recommended.

description: A copper (II) catalyzed Baeyer-Villiger reaction of 2-butanone in the presence of oxygen and 2-amino-5-nitropyridine produced crystals of (bis-2-amino-5-nitropyridine)tetraacetatedicopper(II) dehydrate, (1). 1 and its anhydrous form, (bis-2-amino-5-nitropyridine)tetraacetatedicopper(II), (2), were then synthesized directly from Cu(CH3COO)2∙H2O and 2-amino-5-nitropyridine. Crystals of both compounds were grown using slow evaporation, and characterized using IR, combustion analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements. 1 and 2 are both monoclinic and crystallize in the space groups P21/c and C2/m, respectively. 2 exhibits 2-fold disorder in the 2-amino-5-nitropyridine molecule that arises due to symmetry. Both compounds pack in sheets of isolated dimers, and exhibit strong antiferromagnetic interactions within the dimers (J = -442(5) and -471(5) K for 1 and 2 respectively).

description: Background: The area beneath the metatarsal heads is a common location of foot pain, which is often associated with high plantar pressures. Current plantar pressure assessment protocols focus mainly on the gross area of the forefoot with minimal attention paid to specific areas such as the metatarsal heads. The aim of this study was to develop and assess a new anatomically-based masking protocol that is clinically relevant to measure forefoot plantar pressure during shod conditions based on the anatomical positions of the metatarsal heads. Methods: Initially, we developed a masking protocol to measure forefoot plantar pressure during shod conditions based on the anatomical positions of the metatarsal heads. This new masking protocol divided the forefoot into three sub-areas (proximal, beneath, and distal to the metatarsal heads) as determined by the position of each metatarsal head. Following development of the new masking protocol, we compared the new protocol against a traditional protocol, which defines the forefoot as between 51 and 81% of the foot length. To compare the two masking protocols, we tested two experimental conditions: (i) a control condition (i.e. no metatarsal pad), and (ii) a metatarsal pad condition. We then compared plantar pressure differences between the two experimental conditions for the two masking protocols. Participants for this component of the study included 36 community dwelling older adults (mean age 75.6 years ±5.4) with a history of forefoot pain. Forefoot plantar pressure data were measured while walking using the pedar -X in-shoe system. Peak pressure, maximum force and contact area at the time of peak pressure were determined and results were compared between the two masking protocols. Results: The traditional masking protocol showed that the metatarsal pad significantly decreased peak pressure and increased contact area in the forefoot area (i.e. within the entire mask area), but maximum force was not significantly different between the two conditions. In contrast, the newly developed anatomically-based masking protocol indicated that the metatarsal pad decreased peak plantar pressures distal to and beneath the metatarsal heads by increasing force and contact area proximal to the metatarsal heads. Conclusions: An anatomically-based masking protocol that is clinically relevant was developed to assess forefoot plantar pressure during shod conditions based on the anatomical positions of metatarsal heads. We propose that the new forefoot masking protocol will provide greater interpretability of forefoot plantar pressure data, which will aid clinicians and researchers for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic purposes. ®

description: The cloud point extraction (CPE) method was successfully employed for the separation and pre-concentration of trace amounts of palladium prior to its determination either by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) or using visual spectrophotometry. Palladium(II) reacts with 2-Hydroxyimino-3-(2-hydrazonopyridyl)-butane (HHB) as chelating agent in the presence of p-octylpolyethyleneglycolphenylether (Triton X-100) as a nonionic surfactant giving a purple to pink  surfactant rich phase chelate which could be used for CPE. The effects of experimental conditions such as pH, chelating agent and surfactant concentrations, equilibration temperature and time on CPE were studied. The performance characteristics of the method such as linearity, detection limit, pre-concentration and improvement factors were evaluated. Linearity was obeyed in the range of 0.5−15  and 0.4-18.0 ng mL−1 of Pd (II) with a detection limit of 0.08 and 0.035 ng mL−1 using FAAS and visual spectrometry, respectively. Validation of the method revealed good performance characteristics including good selectivity for Pd2+ over a wide variety of other diverse cations and anions, high reproducibility, low detection limit, acceptable accuracy and precision. The proposed method was successfully applied for the assessment of palladium (II) traces in water and food samples with satisfactory results.

description: © 2018 Elsevier B.V. A new series-parallel model for electrical conductivity of saturated clays that considers particles structure orientation is presented in this study. The new model introduces a simple approach to consider the effect of surface conductivity of clay particles on the electrical conductivity of saturated clays. The proposed approach considers the clay particle and its surrounding diffuse double layer, as a single unit called an effective clay particle, and assigns it an isotropic apparent electrical conductivity that can be determined using a simple experimental method. Therefore, the saturated clay can be considered as a two-phase material (binary mixture) namely, free pore water and effective clay particles. Considering the clay particles structure orientation, the proposed electrical conductivity model in this study geometrically configures the components of two-phase saturated clays in a series-parallel form to determine the electrical conductivity of clay. The proposed electrical conductivity model uses one parameter that can be determined experimentally and it reflects the anisotropic condition of the clay fabric. The validity of the proposed model is verified by comparing its results with the experimental results of three different clay types reconstituted at different dry density levels and particles structure orientations. The comparison shows the accuracy of the proposed model in predicting the electrical conductivity of saturated clays.

description: This paper explores the pivotal role of principals in teacher motivation and professionalism, which are crucial for achieving educational excellence. Drawing on diverse perspectives, the study highlights how effective leadership practices such as fostering a supportive school culture, promoting participatory decision-making, and providing opportunities for professional growth significantly impact teacher morale, job satisfaction, and career fulfillment. Key dimensions of teacher motivation, including intrinsic and extrinsic factors, professional autonomy, and workplace relationships, are examined alongside challenges such as inadequate remuneration, resource limitations, and burnout. The paper emphasizes the necessity of strategic leadership interventions, including recognition programs, professional development workshops, and worklife balance initiatives. It concludes that principals, as transformative leaders, must prioritize teacher motivation and professionalism as a strategic imperative to enhance educational outcomes and foster sustainable school development

description: Dynamic feature of 1,8-dibenzoyl-2,7-dimethoxynaphthalene in solution is revealed through systematic comparison with the analogues bearing p-carboxy group or p-amino one.  (carbonyl)C–C(naphthalene) bond rotation of aroyl group in amino group-bearing analogue is slower than that of aroyl group in no substituent (i.e., benzoyl group) or carboxy group-bearing analogues.  NMR study of unsymmetrically substituted 1,8-dibenzoylnaphthalene analogues shows that (carbonyl)C–C(naphthalene) bond rotation of one benzoyl group is retarded by the other aroyl group bearing p-amino group.  These results strongly indicate that the bond rotation behaviour of two aroyl groups in the 1,8-diaroylnaphthalene analogue does not occur independently with each other but cooperatively.

description: Introduction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury can result in joint instability, decreased functional performance, reduced physical activity and quality of life and an increased risk for post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Despite the development of new treatment techniques and extensive research, the complex and multifaceted nature of ACL injury and its consequences are yet to be fully understood. The overall aim of the NACOX study is to evaluate the natural corollaries and recovery after an ACL injury. Methods and analysis The NACOX study is a multicentre prospective prognostic cohort study of patients with acute ACL injury. At seven sites in Sweden, we will include patients aged 15-40 years, within 6 weeks after primary ACL injury. Patients will complete questionnaires at multiple occasions over the 3 years following injury or the 3 years following ACL reconstruction (for participants who have surgical treatment). In addition, a subgroup of 130 patients will be followed with clinical examinations, several imaging modalities and biological samples. Data analyses will be specific to each aim. Ethics and dissemination This study has been approved by the regional Ethical committee in Linköping, Sweden (Dnr 2016/44-31 and 2017/221-32). We plan to present the results at national and international conferences and in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Participants will receive a short summary of the results following completion of the study. Trial registration number NCT02931084.

Advancing a Culture of Creativity
Creators: name: Lotts, Megan
Publisher: name: unknown
Year: 2023

description: Creativity has a unique manifestation for every individual, drawing on feelings, ideas, playfulness, and practical skills which are often connected to experiential learning and the Arts. Creativity can also be relaxing, fun, and a way to learn more about empathy and communicating with others. One of the greatest misconceptions about creativity is that it can only happen in a certain kind of space that is outfitted with technology or specialized equipment, which is not true. Creative learning and engagement can happen anywhere, and creative spaces need to be flexible and adaptable, but the rest emerges organically.

Because libraries are known as places to cross disciplinary boundaries, explore, and collaborate it is only natural to find creativity in our teaching and learning spaces. Throughout this session
panelists will describe case studies involving "creativity" which have successfully captured students' imaginations while also achieving learning objectives. Speakers will share how creativity has inspired users to engage libraries through active learning and exploring collections, as well as demonstrate how providing people the space to be creative in libraries has led to rewarding and sometimes surprising results.

Session attendees will have an opportunity to participate in short active learning breaks, leave with a "creativity zine", and be inspired to incorporate creativity into their library work.

Grievable lives? Death by opioid overdose in Australian newspaper coverage

Opioid overdose deaths are increasing in Australia and around the world. Despite this, measures aimed at reducing these deaths such as safe injecting facilities and take-home naloxone continue to face obstacles to uptake. The reasons for this are manifold, but a key contributor is public discourse on opioid consumption and overdose. In this article we explore this public discourse using Judith Butler's work on ‘grievable lives’. The article analyses mainstream newspaper coverage of opioid overdose in Australia to map key articulations of overdose and to consider how public understandings of overdose are shaped. It then goes on to consider ways these understandings might be reshaped, looking at what have been called overdose ‘anti-memorials’ and a new website Livesofsubstance.org. In concluding we argue that until the lives of opioid consumers come to be considered grievable, the measures known to reduce overdose deaths may struggle to find public support.
