How about this for a Big Deal? Read & Let Read

In March 2021, the University of California (UC) and Elsevier announced a new so-called “transformative agreement” that included slightly discounted article processing charges as UC’s route to open access in Elsevier journals. Librarians and researchers expressed immediate concern that this deal upheld inequities in the research system. The UC/Elsevier deal, however, is just one of many that include expensive pay-to-publish structures. This commentary proposes an alternative contract between libraries and publishers that would enable wider reading and lower costs, called Read & Let Read. The three main points of a Read & Let Read deal include a half-dollar valuation of individual journal articles, prepayment on a university’s estimated usage, and an equal payment made for usage outside of the university. If a Read & Let Read deal were implemented at UC, UC would pay a slightly higher amount of money to Elsevier than they are expected to at present, and they would not flip any articles to open access. Instead, they would contribute toward a more equitably distributed system of scholarly readership.

Stabilization of soil using industrial wastes

Soil is the most important and basic element of earth. In India which have more type of soil which have low or high bearing capacity like black cotton soil which have high montmorillonite and kalinite. These are those type of soil which have high shrinkage and swelling property. This type of soil cannot withstand heavy load. So, to overcome such problem treatment of soil is needed to be done using plastic materials or volcanic ash, cement kiln dust(CKD) particles for stabilizing this soil. Soil stabilization is the process which improve the physical effects of soil shearing and bearing capacity which is use of adding the admixture like cement, fly ash, lime volcanic ash CKD. Engineers are develop new technique for soil stabilization. It is really big deal to use these type of waste to stabilization of soil. India is developing country build new building and break the old building. All this process many type of waste are generate and in Indian survey nearly 7.46 million tonnes of hazardous waste is generated in India annually So the engineers are think the all waste are used in soil stabilization This paper write for two reason, one is recycle the waste materials and other one is increase the soil stabilize. Some type of industrial waste are including the gravel and dirt concrete and masonry, oils, metals, industrial waste like gasses or solids and also count vegetables matters from restaurants. In other words the industrials waste is two type one is non-hazardous and 2nd is hazardous

Facilitators and barriers to getting obstructive sleep apnea diagnosed: perspectives from patients and their partners.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent and debilitating condition that is significantly underdiagnosed. The majority of adults sleep with someone-a partner. Partners can play a significant role in the patient's OSA diagnosis. The goal of this work is to describe facilitators and barriers to OSA diagnosis as discussed by patients with OSA and their partners. This was a qualitative secondary analysis with results drawn from 20 dyadic interviews, conducted 1 couple at a time, in 20 newly diagnosed adult patients with OSA and their partners. Qualitative interview data were analyzed using conventional content analysis. Facilitators of OSA diagnosis were partners pushing patients to seek care, patients actively seeking care, and care providers identifying the patient's risk of OSA. Barriers to OSA diagnosis were patients' lack of serious attention to symptoms, patients' negative perceptual framing of diagnosis and treatment of OSA, and poor coordination of health care services. We recommend engaging partners in the OSA diagnosis and developing educational and behavioral interventions to raise public awareness about OSA. It is important to educate clinicians on atypical presentations of OSA. Further investigation is needed to evaluate the impact of health care services on OSA diagnosis. Ye L, Li W, Willis DG.

31.2 MINING THE MEANING OF THE MULTISITE MULTIMODAL TREATMENT STUDY OF ADHD (MTA) STUDY: NOVEL FINDINGS FROM QUALITATIVE STUDY METHODS

Most psychiatric research uses rigorously structured mental health interviews of DSM-based mental health disorders as well as paper-and-pencil questionnaires about study variables. Although these so-called “quantitative” study methods have generated important research findings, they have limitations. For example, although a given variable may be a causal factor for illness in some, the same variable can operate in the opposite manner in others; for example, taking a stimulant medication for ADHD might prevent substance abuse (SU) in some but precipitate it in others. Even diametrically opposed findings can be hidden in a study’s quantitative findings. In clinical practice, practitioners operate differently than quantitative researchers to understand illness. Like detectives who assemble clues after an event has occurred, clinicians seek to obtain a comprehensive history from various informants, gather clues regarding the patient’s beliefs and assumptions about the illness, and determine the most plausible explanation for the illness. Like clinical practitioners, qualitative researchers also use historical methods to understand patients’ beliefs and assumptions, in order to generate new hypotheses that can be verified by quantitative methods. We review a qualitative study of 183 patients’ interviews about their ADHD experiences via participation in the MTA and their beliefs and assumptions about ADHD, its causes, consequences, and optimal treatments. Despite over 150 quantitative research reports from the MTA study, questions persist. What explains the good vs poor outcomes of so many subjects? Why do some risk factors portend bad outcomes, but have no effect in others? How do “turning points” differentially affect the lives of youth, and how are these turning points linked to subsequent life decisions? Comparison of the MTA study’s quantitative vs qualitative findings reveals important new areas for study: some factors appear to convey “risk” in some but “benefit” in others. Some adults with ADHD cite the importance of turning points that led them to major life changes. For many, ADHD is seen as “no big deal,” and stimulants are seen as unnecessary. For some young adults, family factors are protective but are illness-producing for others.

A Conceptual Model Explaining How Stakeholders’ Participation in School Management Enhance Learners’ Academic Achievement in Public Secondary Schools in Uganda

This paper analyzed the extent of stakeholders’ participation in school management and the enhancement of the learners’ academic achievement in public secondary schools in Uganda. The major challenges facing effective participation were; inadequate policy formulation and institutional framework; lackadaisical attitude towards participation; low awareness about the roles and stakeholders’ participation policy. These resulted in poor school management and low quality of learners’ academic achievement. It was concluded that there was a need to develop a conceptual model explaining how stakeholder participation could be adopted to strengthen the operational capacity of key stakeholders for efficient and effective service delivery. This would impact the quality of learning outcomes in public secondary schools in Uganda. This model has been developed based on findings from a larger study, on stakeholders’ participation in school management to enhance the learner’s academic achievement in selected public secondary schools in Uganda. Based on this model, it is expected that secondary schools in similar contexts could learn a big deal on how they can explore the key drivers of school management for their benefit.

Open Access and AAS Publishing: The Big Picture

On September 1, the AAS announced that in 2022 its main astronomy journals will transition to an open access publication model. Why is this a big deal? Peter K. G. Williams explains how the AAS’s move relates to some of the big trends at play in the scholarly publishing industry.

A Comprehensive Review on IoT and Its Applications

Abstract: The IoT (Internet of Things) is one of the leading and advantageous technologies in the 21st century, which can give the high level implementation feasibility in the field of wireless telecommunications. The IoT can also be defined as a smart and interconnected network in a highly dynamic infrastructure. It also provides the feature of from anywhere at any time. The main aim of internet of things is to create a huge and complex information system by combining various trending technologies like sensor data, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data science, Networking, big data and Clouds. The biggest deal in IoT is to collect the huge data and data security in maintaining the data confidentiality and providing the privacy for every entity. As a result of all these aspects, new difficulties are entering in improving and implementing the current technologies. There are many such technologies by which many more difficulties are entering. They all must be investigated further. This is a special issue which examines the most recent contributions of IoT platform as well as in the progress of the trending technologies. A statement from IoT is that, monitor and control any technology from anywhere, anytime, wireless, fastest. Keyword: Wireless, IoT, Machine learning, Cloud.

The evolution and revision of big deals: a review from the perspective of libraries

We study the phenomenon of the big deal, a subscription model for scientific journals that emerged at the turn of the millennium aimed especially at library consortia, which were offered the opportunity to exponentially increase their access to scientific information, thus breaking the previous trend of continuous cuts to the collections of the periodicals available in libraries. Its strengths, the expansion of the availability of content, and its impact on the diversification of use and the productivity of researchers are presented herein. Likewise, its weaknesses are highlighted, such as the constant increase in prices and the finding of the concentration of use in a limited set of content. These disadvantages have led to questioning and resulted in the evaluation of big deals, a search for alternatives, and cancellations in times of crisis. In recent years, the latter have been linked to the perception that the cost–benefit balance of big deals has been altered by the proliferation of open-access content. Finally, we address the revision of the traditional big deal through transformative agreements where subscription costs are offset by publication costs, which are intended to be a mechanism to accelerate the transition to open access.

Sequence Risk: Is It Really a Big Deal?

Financial planners are keenly aware of, and routinely warn clients about, sequence risk; that is, the possibility of facing a sequence of low returns early in retirement that may force retirees to scale down significantly the plans they had made. This really is a scary scenario, but one that the evidence here shows that retirees are not very likely to encounter. A new and refined definition of sequence risk is advanced in this article, linking this type of risk to the sustainability of a withdrawal strategy. Furthermore, three ways of assessing sequence risk are proposed, among them one that enables a retiree to monitor the sustainability of his withdrawal strategy periodically and to introduce adjustments when necessary. The ultimate message of this article is that retirees should be informed, but not obsess, about sequence risk. <b>Key Findings</b> ▪ Sequence risk, or the possibility of facing a sequence of low returns early in retirement that forces retirees to scale down their plans significantly, is a scary scenario. ▪ The evidence suggests that, however scary it might be, sequence risk is not very likely to hit retirees, who should certainly be informed, but not obsess about, this type of risk. ▪ Three ways of assessing sequence risk are proposed here, among them one that enables retirees to monitor the sustainability of a withdrawal strategy periodically and to introduce adjustments when necessary.

P–483 “It’s a bigger deal for her”: Understanding differences in partner involvement in reproductive health decision-making

Abstract Study question What is the level of partners involvement in family-building and reproductive health decisions? Summary answer Level of Involvement ranges from active decision-makers and equal-partnerships to indifferent or no partners. Fertility education needs to be tailored according to level of involvement. What is known already Partner involvement is very important in alleviating stress associated with fertility and reproductive health decisions. Recent global health policies have recognised the importance of improving knowledge and awareness of fertility and reproductive health among couples, additionally there has been a concerted effort among reproductive health groups, to improve fertility awareness. Understanding the role partners play in decision-making is therefore important in order to ensure that men and women achieve their family building intentions. In this study, we interviewed men and women, to understand partners involvement in decision-making. Study design, size, duration The study was a qualitative component of a wider mixed methods study. We carried out 35 in-depth interviews with 15 men and 20 women. Interviewees were purposively sampled to include men and women from the reproductive age range (18–45 years) and of varying ethnic and educational backgrounds. Participants/materials, setting, methods Interviewees were sampled from a UK cross-sectional survey on Fertility Awareness. Survey participants were recruited nationwide via online newspaper and social media adverts and of those who agreed to a follow-up interview, 35 were included this study. Interviews lasted an hour on average. Data was transcribed and analysed via framework analysis. Favourable ethical opinion was given by University College London Research Ethics Committee. Main results and the role of chance We identified four kinds of partner involvement and impact, as follows: Drivers: These are active decision-makers who play a bigger role. The decision is usually clear and directive and are typically women. Quotes describing drives include: “Her body her rights”, “I just went with her [views]”, MP5 - Male, Age 38. “She carries the pregnancy, and it’s a bigger deal for her so it’s important for her to choose.” MP1 - Male, Age 45. Sharers: In these equal partnerships, joint decisions are important. Being similarly minded and aligned is key to achieving desired family building decisions. . “It was very mutual because he’d actually been talking about it for a long time… so we were both completely ready.” Female, Age 31. Neutrals: general indifference to family-building decision-making and are not as proactive as the drivers. Solo: includes individuals with no partners or those who haven’t met a suitable partner at the right time or until later in life, or those for whom singleness by choice is key to their decision-making. “If I did meet the right person yeah, I would love one more child, because I’ve always wanted two” Female, Age 36. Limitations, reasons for caution One of the main methodological limitations of this study is that the interviewees were self-selected, which has implications for generalisability. The results necessarily reflect the views of those who were willing to participate. Online recruitment method could result in potential bias towards respondents of higher socioeconomic status. Wider implications of the findings: To improve fertility awareness, current initiatives need to further explore the impact of partners in family-building decision-making in order to have effective campaigns which can help men and women achieve their desired fertility intentions.

New Perspectives on Hierarchical Roles in Groups and Organizations: Beyond High Rank vs Low Rank

Research on hierarchy has exploded in recent years. In this work, management scholars have largely focused on high- and low- rank roles within a hierarchy and how high and low rank can drive individual, group, and organizational processes and outcomes. However, recent work has begun to move beyond the study of traditional high- versus low- rank roles in hierarchies to instead consider other consequential hierarchical roles in groups and organizations. In this symposium, we highlight this emerging area of research on alternative perspectives on hierarchical roles, bringing together a set of five cutting-edge papers. These papers all offer new perspectives on the roles of different hierarchical ranks, including developing theory on the role of various high-ranking members in alliances (first paper), unpacking the consequences of a common yet overlooked rank: the second-in-command rank (second paper), identifying how middle and low-ranking group members can emerge as informal leaders (third paper), challenging whether high ranks matter at all considering high rank does not automatically confer authority (fourth paper), and understanding the experience of rank ‘losers’ (fifth paper). The five papers across this symposium move beyond traditional studies of high- versus- low ranked roles in hierarchies and demonstrate that these other perspectives on hierarchical roles can also have profound influences on individual, group, and organizational processes and outcomes. Following the presentations, Dr. Drew Carton will facilitate a group discussion about these papers and future research on alternative views on hierarchical roles.

ANALISIS SOSIAL EKONOMI DAN PRODUKTIVITAS BURUH PETIK PERKEBUNAN KOPI

Indonesia is an agrarian country that mostly works in agriculture, so agriculture takes a big deal to the economic growth of both the state and the region. Coffee-picking labor is the occupation of the majority of people in Sukorejo village, to work as coffee-pickers can raise family finances. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the socio-economic and productivity of coffee plantation workers in the Sukorejo village, Tirtoyudo district. This research was carried out using the quantitative descriptive method. The population in this study was 30 coffee-pickers. In this study, it is known that the influencing factors are the independent variables of work experience and working hours. This study uses primary data obtained through questionnaires and is analyzed with multiple cross-sectional regression using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23. It is observed that work experience and working hours have a positive and significant effect on productivity. The coefficient of determination (R-squared) value is 0.417 in which showed the variables of work experience and working hours. This result suggests that the productivity variable is 41.7%, and the remaining 58.3% explained by variables outside the model.

Parents for whom school ‘is not that big a deal’. Parental support in home schooling during lockdown in France

The period of confinement in the spring of 2020 is of great interest in highlighting the parental work of educational support. While parental support is usually more diffuse, and is secondary in relation to what is done at school, occurring at different moments of daily life, home schooling during lockdown revealed new ways of helping and framing schoolwork. This article looks at parenting practices in higher socio-economic status (SES) families in France. Based on a massive questionnaire ( N = 31,764) and a series of additional interviews ( N = 15) conducted during lockdown, the aim is to investigate what makes parental assistance specific in high SES environments. Our findings show that such families have less difficulty carrying out schooling at home. What makes them consider this experience as ‘not a big deal’, as they say, is that they have organisational and pedagogical (i.e. objective) resources that enable them to respond to its challenges. In addition, however, we show that home schooling is experienced in these families as less contrived. In effect, they use schoolwork techniques that help to obscure (from others, but also from themselves) the effort that schoolwork requires.

A 5G RURAL, REMOTE, AND DIFFICULT AREAS HOPE: A REVIEW

The 5G cellular networks are “urban” areas technology in nature, extensively deployed where the user’s density is high to provide very high data rates, coupled with extremely low delays and dealing with very high mobility of users. On the contrary, one-third of people experience a lack of mobile broadband connectivity living in rural zones. These mobile broadband lacks recognized as the main barriers impairing the Sustainable Developing Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations. Those that are not currently covered will be unlikely to be covered also soon, as the network operators are not keen to invest in such zones, because of potentially low revenues. While it is confirmed that 5G would meet stringent requirements in urban zones, rural areas still suffer from almost inexistent MBB (Mobile Broadband) coverage, especially in the developing world. The big deal of isolated rural areas, which are sparsely inhabited by low-income populations, is that the classical access using traditional backhaul technologies is a bad solution for operators since it does not ensure a good ROI (Return of Investment).

Human Capital Accounting Implications on Firm Market Value: A Survey of Kenyan Private Universities

Purpose-The study examined the findings of an empirical evaluation of Human Capital (HC) accounting implications on firm market value among Kenyan private universities. Design/methodology/approach- a Cross-sectional survey on finance and human resource directors in Kenyan private universities.Findings- Kenyan Chartered Private Universities were successful because they accounted for, and reported their HC as material investments. However, further research was recommended to establish whether: the 4.2% who did not enjoy a good reputation and image consecutively for the past three financial periods; the 47% who did not enjoy easy access to Kenya’s capital markets consecutively for the past three financial periods; the 25% who did not retain their quality HC consecutively for the past three financial periods; as well as the 30% who did not enjoy high ROI consecutively for the past three financial periods: did so solely because they did not account and report their HC as material investments or there were indeed other factors motivating the results. Originality/Value-Accounting for HC is a big deal in Kenyan Knowledge-Information-Service-Sector (KISS) firms such as private universities because HC is the intervening factor for competitive advantage: Yet the discipline is unexplored in existing Kenyan empirical works.
