Sleep for infants after discharge from a neonatal ward: Expert- and parent endorsed strategies.

This study aims to outline sleep strategies grounded in scientific research and endorsed by sleep experts, integrating parental input into the evaluation process, to assist parents in supporting infant sleep after discharge from a neonatal ward. A Delphi method, consisting of three rounds, was employed. Sleep strategies based on scientific literature were presented to sleep experts and parents of infants discharged from a neonatal ward. A literature search identified 11 sleep strategies. These strategies were incorporated in Delphi round 1. Out of 17 sleep experts, 13 reviewed and revised these 11 sleep strategies, resulting in a list of 8 sleep strategies. In round 2, these strategies were ranked by 14 out of 17 sleep experts, with "knowledge gathering" being ranked the most important sleep strategy. In round 3, the same list of 8 sleep strategies was ranked by 35 parents. They found "sleep hygiene" and "swaddling" the most important strategies. This study offers 8 sleep strategies that are grounded in scientific research, supported by experts, and evaluated by parents. Experts and parents prioritize sleep strategies differently. Therefore, healthcare professionals should offer practical and customized sleep strategies that align with the unique needs of each family. Experts and parents prioritize sleep strategies differently. This study offers a summary of sleep strategies that are grounded in scientific research, supported by experts, and include parental feedback in the evaluation process. Healthcare professionals can use these strategies to offer practical and customized sleep advise that aligns with the unique needs of each family.

A Case of Identity: A Technical Study of Victorian Wallpapers

ABSTRACT Public perception of arsenic in nineteenth-century Britain encompassed a variety of things: criminal poison, useful medicine, and a raw material for manufacturing an array of goods. During this era, Henry Carr tested wallpaper and fabric samples sent in by private individuals and manufacturers, as part of an early effort in gathering scientific data to inform and protect consumers against chronic arsenic poisoning. In 2022, eight wallpaper samples that Carr had tested were acquired by Winterthur Library. These samples were analyzed by polarized light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, and Raman spectroscopy to identify the presence of arsenic. Of the eight wallpaper swatches, seven suggested trace-to-elevated levels of both arsenic and copper. Two swatches were confirmed as having the arsenical pigment emerald green (copper acetoarsenite) specifically. Research into these wallpaper samples furthers the legacy of knowledge gathering and sharing in order to protect everyday users by contributing to toxicology research in library and archives materials.

#ThanksForTyping … and the fieldwork

This article explores the role of social researchers’ wives in post-war British studies, in particular drawing on the diaries kept by the wives of two noted sociologists while their husbands, Peter Willmott and Dennis Marsden, were respectively undertaking studies in the working class communities of Bethnal Green and Salford. The wives – Phyllis Willmott and Pat Marsden, made contributions to the community studies in the mid 1950s/early 1960s, at the point where British sociology and social research was on the cusp of transition towards formalisation and professionalisation. The wives were co-opted into the academic endeavour. Their practices as part of their family lives became professionalised as they undertook knowledge gathering, bridging between community and scholarship for their husbands, and reflecting on their own practice. The paper enables contemporary social researchers to recognise the part played by the wives of major sociological figures in the establishment of the men’s reputations and the disciplinary enterprise of sociology.

Seismic Background Noise Level and Station Detectability in the Flores Sea

The Flores back-arc thrust fissure is a significant contributor to earthquake events in the Flores Sea region, as evidenced by seismic investigations. As part of the endeavor to mitigate earthquake risk, seismic data investigations are necessary due to the high potential for earthquakes in the Flores Sea. Background noise in earthquakes is the term used to describe the micro vibrations that are perpetually produced as a result of natural phenomena, such as ocean waves, wind, or human activities. It is crucial to investigate this cacophony in seismology in order to distinguish the primary earthquake signal. Its spectrum analysis can assist in the identification of land changes and the prediction of tectonic activity. This analysis was conducted by employing the Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) client function as a fetch data tool and the Modular Utility for Statistical Knowledge Gathering Data browser as a data quality monitoring system to verify the health and reliability of seismic data. The three station sites closest to the Flores Sea are the focus of this research data examination. The study's findings indicate that the recorded data at the station is still dominated by cultural noise, as evidenced by the analysis of the probability density function, power spectral density, and noise spectrograms. Additionally, each station exhibits activity with degrees of probability noise that are both high and variable. These results highlight the need for advanced techniques to filter cultural noise and improve the accuracy of seismic signal interpretation in this region. This analysis contributes to understanding tectonic activity in the Flores Sea and underscores the importance of continuous monitoring for earthquake preparedness and risk reduction.

Knowledge Management and Employee Performance in the Information Technology Sector

Background: Knowledge management involves the identification, gathering, and organization of both explicit knowledge, such as documents and procedures, and tacit knowledge, including the skills and experience of individuals within an organization. Information technology is a knowledge-intensive industry, so knowledge management is crucial for employee performance. Objectives: The objective of this study is to examine the status of knowledge management practices within the IT sector, specifically knowledge creation, sharing, retention, and actionable knowledge support, and their influence on employee performance. Methods: This adopts a descriptive and explanatory research design. Purposively, it considered 310 employees working in IT companies in Nepal; 303 responses were considered for analysis. A questionnaire survey measured knowledge management with 27 items and employee (task) performance with six items. The study adopted PLS-SEM to analyze the data. Results: This study found that actionable knowledge support, knowledge sharing, and knowledge retention emerged as the primary influencers of employee performance within the IT sector. Specifically, active involvement in knowledge-sharing and retention contributes to employee performance. Among the factors, actionable knowledge support is vital for employee performance. However, a relationship between knowledge creation and performance was not found. Conclusion: This study helps improve our understanding of IT knowledge management dynamics in developing countries like Nepal, based on knowledge creation, sharing, retention, and actionable knowledge support. Future research on knowledge dynamics and performance may build on these findings. The knowledge-intensive nature of the IT sector affects employee performance. These findings could lay the groundwork for future research on knowledge dynamics and performance in this industry.

Implicit to explicit: A Framework for Supporting Blended Design Education with Microlearning

Design is an iterative process involving cycles of divergent and convergent thinking. To navigate these cycles effectively, designers need a range of competencies. These include information gathering, sense-making, imagination, ideation, shape-giving, iterative reflection, critical evaluation, collaboration, and discipline-specific knowledge. To develop these competencies, design education typically occurs in a studio environment that follows a learning-by-doing approach, simulating industry practices. However, the tacit knowledge—unspoken insights and intuitions—that informs the application of domain knowledge is often not visible, making it difficult for students to connect theory with practice and potentially hindering their learning. The cognitive apprenticeship model is a pedagogical approach that enhances learning-by-doing by integrating theory and practice throughout the design process, making tacit knowledge explicit and accessible. Within the context of blended learning, where face-to-face classes are complemented by technology-enabled learning, microlearning emerges as an innovative teaching and learning approach that delivers activities in structured, bite-sized pieces. This method is designed to minimise cognitive load and to help students grasp complex implicit concepts. In this paper we explore how microlearning, an innovative teaching and learning approach, might be integrated into learning by doing approaches within blended learning settings in the design studio to make tacit knowledge explicit. The paper is the first part of a larger study exploring how microlearning activities might support learning-by-doing within blended learning environments during the various phases of the design process. An integrative review of literature on the design process and related design competencies, cognitive apprenticeship and microlearning, theoretically informed the development of a conceptual framework outlining the dynamics between learning-by-doing and microlearning activities to foster connections between theory and practice. The framework will be used in subsequent research to inform the design and trialling of microlearning activities to support learning-by-doing in practical design modules. This research contributes to existing understanding of educational approaches that support learning-by-doing in design education and lays the foundation for further research to inform the design of appropriate and meaningful microlearning activities.

Holistic Assessment for Social Housing Retrofitting: Integrating Seismic, Energy, and Social Aspects in the REHOUSE Project

There are many existing buildings for which seismic rehabilitation interventions are required, especially in earthquake-prone areas like Italy. At the same time, the huge energy cost increase in Europe highlights the need for sustainable techniques that are able to increase the energy efficiency of buildings. These issues are even more significant for weak social groups living in social housing buildings, often in poor and vulnerable conditions. In order to address the solution regarding building renovations from the social, structural, and energy efficiency perspectives, in the framework of the Horizon Europe REHOUSE (Renovation packagEs for HOlistic improvement of EU’s bUildingS Efficiency, maximizing RES generation and cost-effectiveness) Project, this paper proposes an integrated methodology of building assessment that was tested on a social housing building in Margherita di Savoia, a small town of Apulia Region, Italy. In addition to the structural and energy aspects, the social one is particularly important since the building is located in the “Capitanata Area”, considered to be one of the most socially vulnerable areas in Italy. For this reason, an assessment methodology must consider reducing the overall impact of the assessment activities while explaining to tenants the purpose of the assessment and future renovation actions, maintaining the accuracy of the assessment results. Therefore, this study outlines an assessment methodology, demonstrated through its application to the case study building, that integrates the structural, energy, and social aspects, showing that the tenants’ involvement is also crucial for the technical evaluations. The final result is a low-impact approach for the building knowledge gathering needed to start a deep renovation intervention in social housing.

“Do You Yourself Have Any Idea What is Going On?”: Invitations for Lay Diagnosis in Dutch Primary Care Physiotherapy

ABSTRACT Lay perspectives are important in the recovery of patients with nonspecific pain as they influence levels of pain and patients’ pain experiences. Although previous interactional research has focused on patients’ unsolicited attempts to share their perspectives, health professions also employ specific techniques to solicit them. Physiotherapists are recommended to assess lay perspectives and include them in treatment. One way to do so is through invitations for lay diagnosis (this paper). However, little is known about how lay perspectives are constructed through these invitations and how physiotherapists follow up on them. In this study, physiotherapy intakes were analyzed using conversation analysis. We found that invitations for lay diagnosis are frequently embedded in previous health care visits or patients’ knowledge gathering activities. Patients often express low epistemic status when they construct their lay perspectives and engage in lay diagnostic activity in response to these invitations. Additionally, physiotherapists’ responses in the third position, such as follow-up questions, may influence the further development of patients’ lay perspectives. These invitations provide patients an opportunity to share their views on their health issues, but also create an interactional challenge due to the reversal of usual epistemic dynamics. The study highlights the complexity of doing lay diagnosis, which can include diagnoses or explanations of varying specificity. The specificity and elaboration of these perspectives are influenced by the physiotherapists’ subsequent responses. We provide recommendations for healthcare professionals to facilitate lay diagnosis, and our findings contribute to the discussion around patient empowerment, shared decision making, and patient centered care.

Consumer engagement with shopping platforms: focused on crowdsourcing and crowdsending

PurposeIn the context of growing efforts by online businesses to enhance consumer connections, understanding consumer engagement behaviors is imperative. This study explores consumer engagement within online shopping platforms, specifically introducing and examining the roles of crowdsourcing and crowdsending.Design/methodology/approachThe study developed and validated measurement scales for crowdsourcing and crowdsending engagement across transactional, multi-sided and inspirational platforms.FindingsIdentifying five sub-dimensions within crowdsourcing and crowdsending, the results unveiled nuances in consumer–platform interactions, emphasizing the value of co-creation. Crowdsourcing entails transaction-oriented engagements such as knowledge gathering, utilitarian and hedonic browsing, interaction and co-shopping. The findings revealed that crowdsourcing significantly influenced platform commitment, surpassing the impact of crowdsending on transactional platforms. Conversely, crowdsending involves knowledge sharing, feedback, participation, advocacy and reciprocity, fostering active engagement and shared value within the platform ecosystem. Notably, the results showed that crowdsending strengthened commitment to inspirational platforms more than to conventional shopping platforms.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the theoretical understanding of a range of consumer engagement experiences in online shopping environments and presents practical applications, offering valuable insights for commerce businesses aiming to optimize their digital strategies.

Ethics and Values Matter: The Role of Higher Education

Human existence is a process of learning and development aimed at achieving wisdom, and education has been regarded as the ultimate value system since the birth of culture and way of life for this reason. Education is more than only the acquisition of skills or the gathering of knowledge or news about a topic of interest from others or from other parts of the world. It is not limited to the abilities of obtaining information received and preserved via knowing, or just the exploration of existential problems and familiarization with previously acquired knowledge or data, or with a system of knowledge - but also with the goal of comprehending this cognition. Knowledge is involved with the comprehension of a collection of propositions or concepts. Knowledge can be theoretical and practical, fundamental and abstract, and it may exist in any time period: past, present, and future. However, cognition is always done in the present. Past memories and future prophecies are also remembered in the present, as the ideas flash or surface in the mind. These flashes act as an impetus for our quick determination, allowing us to decide whether or not to undertake anything. However, for the purpose of brevity, I'll lump the two, knowledge and cognition, together under the heading of knowledge. Education fosters the development of talents from all three faculties, as well as wisdom in their right application for the benefit of people and society for creating value and ethics. The goal of NEP 2020 is also having important role in higher education teaching to encourage systematic and focused discoveries and practices that benefit society. Society views higher education institutions as catalysts for the transformation of knowledge into wisdom. The quality, morals, and ethics of higher education institutions are increasingly important in integrating young people into society. A country like India has a large young population, and they are the frontiers of the Indian government's Made in India Initiative. It has been well mentioned that the actual philosophy of education is in the combination of ethics, virtues, values, and the validity of human life, thus it is vital to improve ethical values, philosophical thinking, study, research, and moral growth in the Indian education system.

The citizens have participated – what now? An action research study of factors impacting the use of participatory citizen knowledge in planning processes

ABSTRACT Citizen participation is embedded into planning practice and policy, yet it remains unclear how the results of participation are shared in planning organisations and utilised to inform planning outcomes. This article examines barriers and enablers for systematic gathering, sharing and utilisation of participatory citizen knowledge and analyses the collaborative development of knowledge-sharing practices in two Finnish municipalities. The article focuses specifically on the collection and dissemination of local, experiential knowledge from two municipality-wide Public Participation GIS surveys. The study adopts an action research approach to deepen the understanding of planners' complex relationships with participatory citizen knowledge: how they gather and share it, how it informs their work and how they develop their everyday practice. The results suggest that a variety of practical, technical and cultural factors influence whether planners access and utilise gathered citizen knowledge. Planners' backgrounds, skills and personalities also influence how they perceive and utilise citizen knowledge. When provided with accessible and representative data about citizens' behaviours and preferences, adequate resources and a sense of agency through supportive organisation culture, officials from different sectors were eager to develop the use of participatory knowledge. These emergent practices can be used to inform wider iterative development to meet practitioners' needs.

“Give me the reigns of taking care of myself with a home”: Healing environments in an Indigenous-led alcohol harm reduction program

BackgroundDistinct from western Managed Alcohol Programs (MAPs), Indigenous-led alcohol harm reduction programs can be defined by both ‘culture as healing’ and decolonized harm reduction philosophies. We sought to explore experiences of Indigenous ‘family members’ (participants) in an Indigenous-led alcohol harm reduction program and culturally supportive housing to identify appropriate supports according to family member perspectives, and to inform delivery of the program.MethodsSituated within an Indigenous-western research partnership, we completed semi-structured interviews with seven family members of an Indigenous-led alcohol harm reduction and culturally supportive housing program. Community-guided protocols informed relational knowledge gathering practices including semi-structured in-depth interviews, qualitative thematic analysis, collaborative interpretation of findings, and development of knowledge products.ResultsFamily members highlighted the importance of tailored Indigenous-led alcohol harm reduction in shifting their relationships to alcohol from survival to having choice and control of their drinking (It’s a choice I’m making right now). The provision of varied and incremental culture-based opportunities (Multiple pathways for connecting to culture) facilitated engagement with culture as healing. Policies that honour respect and autonomy were identified as supportive to healing and harm reduction, countering family members’ experiences in western spaces (Give me the reigns of taking care of myself with a home).ConclusionsAn Indigenous-led alcohol harm reduction program within a model of culture as healing facilitated shifts in relationships to alcohol, providing a space where family members could explore long term goals of healing and connection to culture. Family members’ experiences and recommendations offer key considerations for the design of Indigenous-led harm reduction and culture as healing models. Recommendations emphasize the provision of tailored alcohol harm reduction plans in parallel to multiple and accessible opportunities for connection to culture as healing in order to meet diverse participant goals and relationships to alcohol and culture.

Keefektifan Bimbingan Kelompok Teknik Problem Solving dalam Mencegah Perilaku Bullying Pada Siswa SMAN 1 Kuala Kampar

Bullying is described as antagonistic behavior, both physical and verbal, that is frequently demonstrated by someone. The purpose of bullying behavior is to gain acceptance from others. Bullying often occurs regularly, and in some cases, even organized. Bullying has a negative impact on its victims, including depression and trauma, which can disrupt their psychology and even their mental and physical health. This research uses quantitative methodology. Quantitative research is a method of gathering knowledge that uses numerical data to analyze information about a subject of interest. Because the quasi experimental research technique is a component of a quantitative approach with unique characteristics that are not coincidental, the existence of a control group was used in this research. In this research, all topics as they have been developed organically in class are used. There are two classes in this method: control class and experimental class.

Exploring apprentice selection by skilled trade artisans in the Ghanaian construction industry

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the factors influencing trade artisans’ choice of skills selection as apprentice’s trainee in the Ghanaian construction sector and to identify and address the challenges associated with traditional apprenticeship. Trade artisans with technical know-how in construction and general workplace skills from the traditional apprenticeship training (TAT) in the area of construction were selected from selected sites and training centers. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopted the purposive sampling technique with the aim of gathering knowledge from individuals with expertise in the research area, particularly trade craftsmen who have been trained through the TAT system and are directly involved in construction-related works. Partial least square structure equation modelling (PLS-SEM) analytical approach and principal component analysis were used to reduce the dimensionality of the data set and preserve as much information as possible. Findings Three major components, namely, personal and social interest, job assessment and stability and family and faith were identified as the variables that influence an artisan's choice of a skill trade. These influenced the choice of apprenticeship training by young trainees in choosing apprenticeship as a mode of training. Personal interest, living situation of artisans and parents’ educational attainment are the most influencing factors that determine artisans’ choice of selected trades. Moreover, the study also shed light on the challenges inherent in traditional apprenticeship systems, such as the lack of formal technical education, limited access to modern technology and information and poor working conditions. Practical implications The study underscores the imperative for stakeholders to enhance apprenticeship programmes within the construction sector. This involves providing more stable job opportunities, improving working conditions and offering access to modern technology and information. Such enhancements not only attract more young individuals to apprenticeship training but also ensure the sustainability and relevance of the workforce in meeting industry demands. Originality/value The study finally developed a model that could be used as a foundation for future PLS-SEM evaluation and identified the factors that influence the selection of apprenticeship training by trade artisans.

The implications of these findings for industry, academia, research and policy are discussed, highlighting the importance of fostering a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem that encourages networking and collaboration among the various stakeholders.

AI-Enhanced Medicinal Plant Identification System with Multilingual Social Media Integration

Sri Lanka is a country with a Ayurvedic culture which cannot be experienced anywhere in the world. This cultural system is based on a series of knowledge passed on from generations over 3000 years that could treat a variety of diseases. This traditional ayurvedic system consist of a vast herbal plant collection. Most of the information about this ayurvedic system is written in manuscripts for thousands of years. Sri Lanka lacks a proper system which is specific to ayurvedic sector is a major concern that should be addressed at present. Absence of a system has lead to problems and difficulties in identification and classification of herbal plants, to transfer knowledge about herbal plants and to conserve these ayurvedic plants for the future generation. Another concern is that Ayurvedic undergraduate students face many difficulties when gathering knowledge of these herbal plants and medicinal practices. Sri Lanka does not comprise with a full ayurvedic plant inventory system is another major concern that identified in the country. By considering all the problems an intelligent system has been recognized as a solution. The system will be based on Deep Learning, CNN, GIS, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning based principals to cater all the identified problems. The system will be able to identify ayurvedic plant with an image of a leave, flower, or fruit as input. And also, system will be able to classify and provide a detailed description about the identified plant including medicinal value and the distribution of the plant in the island. System will provide a crowdsourcing social media facility with both English and Sinhala languages to share information with fellow herbalist in the country.

Restoring Human Dignity: Exploring Restorative Practices to Address Workplace Incivility Among Indian Professionals

Human dignity is an absolute inner value possessed by all humans. In the workplace, due to the prevalence of negative behaviors, human dignity often becomes a target for erosion. Accordingly, the author argues that human dignity is the most profoundly affected aspect amidst all the resulting consequences. Through in-depth interviews with 18 working professionals who have experienced the impact of uncivil behavior from superiors, peers, and subordinates, this paper demonstrates how they have employed the strategy of passive resistance responses as a means to restitute their dignity. The restoration of dignity has, in turn, been shown to significantly enhance their overall wellbeing. On the theoretical front, this paper introduces the concept of 'dignity defense' as a central theme, which has enabled them to adopt a wide range of passive resistance mechanisms – ranging from temporal deflection, delayed responses, reflective pauses, competence building, the use of humour, knowledge gathering, diplomatic inquiry, to evidence-based communication. Overall, this study distinguishes passive resistance responses from active confrontational responses and theoretically anchors passive resistance responses within the context of Eastern and Western philosophies.

Developing a Work Accommodation Operating Model for Workplaces and Work Ability Support Services

Abstract Purpose Workplace accommodation can help employees with disabilities remain employed or access employment rather than leave the labor force. However, the workplace accommodation process is still poorly understood and documented. Aim The aim of this study was to develop a national operating model to make workplace accommodation interactive and procedural for workplaces and work ability support services and lower the threshold to making accommodations. Methods The collaborative development process was carried out by a multiprofessional expert team with eleven workplaces in the private and public sectors in Finland. The design of this study was conceptual and developmental. The development process of the operating model consisted of four phases: the orientation phase, the joint planning phase, the implementation advancement phase, and the instilling phase. Results The operating model has six stages: 1) identifying needs, 2) gathering knowledge, 3) exploring alternatives, 4) selecting solutions, 5) implementing solutions, and 6) monitoring and evaluating. The model defines the actions, roles, and responsibilities for each phase. To help implement the model, we published an information package, a guide, a planning formula, and a video animation in Finnish and Swedish. Conclusion The operating model is a tool that workplaces and work ability support services can use to help working-aged people remain employed or access employment. Future studies should determine the workplace-specific functionality of this model using implementation research.

Lipids and Minerals, Interplay in Biomineralization: Nature's Alchemy.

The main focus of this article is the role of lipids in biomineralization. Much of the discussion on biomineralization focuses on proteins in these decades. Indeed, collagen and acidic noncollagenous proteins effectively serve as templates for mineralization. However, other macromolecules such as lipids and polysaccharides have received less attention despite their abundance at mineralization sites. The matrix vesicle (MV) theory is widely accepted as the induction of early mineralization. Although ion concentration within the vesicles has been discussed in the initial mineralization in this theory, the role of phospholipids that constitute the vesicle membrane has not been discussed much. Comprehensive considerations, including pathological mineralization, exist regardless of the localization of MVs, the involvement of bacteria in dental calculus formation, and biomineralization caused by marine organisms such as corals, suggesting that initial mineralization found in these biological conditions might be a common reaction relating to lipids. In contrast, despite the abundance of lipids, mineralization occurs only in the limited tissue within our body. In other words, gathering knowledge and creating a path to understanding about lipid-based mineralization is extremely important in proposing new bone disease treatment methods. This article describes how lipids influence nucleation, mineralization, and expansion during hard tissue formation. Impact statement Recent studies have accumulated evidence of mineralization involving phospholipids and the matrix vesicle (MV) theory. Mineralization occurs not only in the conventional vesicle form but also in flat membranes arrested by the matrix. The flat membrane is derived not only from MVs but also from various causes, such as cell rupture and cell apoptosis. Mineralization is greatly affected by alkaline phosphatases derived from cell membranes. By understanding phospholipid-based mineralization, it will be possible to design new mineralization-inducing materials centered on cellular components for early bone formation. This article is important for developing new strategies to induce bone mineralization.
