Bridging science and art: Auralization and visualization of the ocean soundscape

As a group of researchers and artists, we have collaborated on a science-art project that converts seismic and hydroacoustic data into immersive digital artworks, revealing the hidden realm of ocean soundscape. We integrated artistic methodologies to produce soundtracks and videos from seismic waveforms recorded in the ocean, which enables the general public to gain a multisensory experience of the scientific data studied by specialists. Through exhibitions in multiple venues, our interdisciplinary approach was well received by diverse audiences, showcasing the potential for creative representations of scientific information.

Seizing a venue linking opportunity: China’s strategy to advance its sea cucumber interests in global environmental governance

This study explores how China strategically advances its position and interacts with institutional contexts to shape environmental negotiations. By employing process-tracing methods and conducting expert interviews on the case of sea cucumber negotiations, we find that China intends to garner international support in a policy venue (CITES) while actively engaging in another policy venue that better aligns with China's interests (FAO). Building upon existing studies on institutional change and negotiation strategy, we highlight two aspects of a venue-linking framework, including the institutional settings enabling countries to deploy such a strategy in environmental negotiations and the actors’ capacity to seize the opportunity. In doing so, we show how China has strategically engaged in multiple policy venues to advance its preferences through a particular, more amenable venue. Our findings offer new empirical insights into how China navigates the complex political dynamics in global environmental governance when multiple policy venues with overlapping jurisdictions are involved.

Encompassing geoheritage's multiple voices, multiple venues and multi-disciplinarity

Abstract Geoheritage is recognized globally as a critical concept that celebrates unique geological sites, their history and scientific value, educational potential and geotourism opportunities. Importantly, geoheritage encompasses a wide range of geodiversity, which exists in a variety of scales – from local outcrops to internationally recognized UNESCO sites – and within a continuum of scientific value, historical merit, indigenous meaning, educational potential and geotourism possibilities. We celebrate a selected example of geoheritage sites across the world that have been noticed, recognized and utilized. The breadth and geodiversity of some of these sites indicate we should broaden our geoheritage definition and include historical collections and largely inaccessible sites. Notably, all geoscientists and educators must remain diligent to ensure the sustainability of these sites so that future generations can enjoy our geological and cultural heritage.

Participation in multiple policy venues in governance of Chile's Santiago Metropolitan Region: When institutional attributes can make the difference

AbstractThe complexity of metropolitan polycentric governance is still challenging scholars and practitioners, who have mostly been engaged in a normative debate in which scant attention has been paid to the coexistence and interdependence of institutional solutions. The ecology of games framework (EGF) can be used to remedy this gap. By incorporating the analysis of institutional variation into EGF propositions about venues' interdependence, this article examines the mechanisms of metropolitan governance configuration resulting from institutional complexity at the inter‐municipal level. Provincial forums, municipal associations, and inter‐municipal agreements are the policy venues studied in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile. Official documents reporting formal agreements in 2017–2021 help to capture the inter‐municipal governance network to which we apply exponential random graph models (ERGMs). The results show the positive effects of mandated provincial venues on inter‐municipal ties and the absence of the effect of self‐organized municipal associations, tendencies that prevail even when incorporating other relevant covariates into the models. These results nourish the EGF debate about interdependencies between coexisting policy venues, emphasizing the role of the different institutional attributes framing the policy venues and the effects of these differences on governance formation.

Implementing a social innovation for community-based peer support for immigrant mothers in Sweden: a mixed-methods process evaluation.

A South African social innovation based on peer support for mothers was contextualized in southern Sweden. The objective of the project was to support expectant women and mothers of young children in immigrant communities to access public services that would benefit maternal and child health. This study aimed to assess how the intervention was implemented, what the contextual barriers and facilitators were, and how the implementation was perceived by those who delivered and received it. The study used mixed methods with a convergent parallel design and followed the Medical Research Council guidance on process evaluations of complex interventions. Semi-structured interviews (n = 19) were conducted with peer supporters, client mothers, and key stakeholders involved in the intervention. The qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. Quantitative data on peer supporters' activities were collected during contacts with client mothers and were presented descriptively. The five peer supporters had 1,294 contacts with client mothers, of which 507 were first-time contacts. The reach was perceived as wide, and the dose of the intervention was tailored to individual needs. Barriers to implementation included community mistrust of social services, norms on gender roles and parenting, and funding challenges. The implementation was facilitated by the organization's reputation, network, experience, and third-sector affiliation. Peer supporters tended to prioritize linking clients to other services over the educational components of the intervention, sometimes doing more than what was originally planned. Implementation strategies used included building trust, using multiple outreach venues, using internal support structures, and providing practical assistance as an entry point to comprehensive psychosocial support. The personal connection between peer supporters and clients was highly valued, and the building of relationships enabled them to address sensitive topics. Peer supporters sometimes experienced a blurred line between professional and personal roles. Peer supporters used a variety of strategies to navigate identified barriers and facilitators. Trust was central both as a contextual factor and a strategy for implementation. It is valuable to maintain a balance between flexibility and adherence to the function of peer supporters. Further research is needed to evaluate the effects of the intervention.

Screening for hepatitis C as part of an opioid stewardship quality improvement initiative: Identifying infected patients and analyzing linkage to care.

Screening patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) for HCV can potentially decrease morbidity and mortality if HCV-infected individuals are linked to care. We describe a quality improvement initiative focused on patients with OUD, incorporating an electronic health record decision-support tool for HCV screening across multiple health care venues, and examining the linkage to HCV care. Of 5829 patients with OUD, 4631 were tested for HCV (79.4%), (compared to a baseline of 8%) and 1614 (27.7%) tested positive. Two hundred and thirty patients had died at the study onset. Patients tested in the acute care and emergency department settings were more likely to test positive than those in the ambulatory setting (OR = 2.21 and 2.49, p < 0.001). Before patient outreach, 279 (18.2%) HCV-positive patients were linked to care. After patient outreach, 326 (23.0%) total patients were linked to care. Secondary end points included mortality and the number of patients who were HCV-positive who achieved a cure. The mortality rate in patients who were HCV-positive (12.2%) was higher than that in patients who were HCV-negative (7.4%) (OR = 1.72, p < 0.001) or untested patients (6.2%) (OR = 2.10, p<0.001). Of the 326 with successful linkage to care, 113 (34.7%) had a documented cure. An additional 55 (16.9%) patients had a possible cure, defined as direct acting antiviral ordered but no follow-up documented, known treatment in the absence of documented sustained viral response lab draw, or documentation of cure noted in outside medical records but unavailable laboratory results. A strategy utilizing electronic health record decision-support tools for testing patients with OUD for HCV was highly effective; however, linking patients with HCV to care was less successful.

Urban Territorialities: An Introduction

The studies collected in this monographic issue intend to revisit an important research topic, with results hitherto scattered in multiple venues, and to refocus on different aspects of urban territoriality in the late Middle Ages from new perspectives. The six essays offer both a general overview, in particular of north‐central Italian cities, and single case studies: Naples and Genoa are two largely comparable realities; the Florentine case is considered during the years of the Ciompi tumult, while that of Avignon provides insights for comparison with some Italian cities.

Abstract A051: A conceptual framework for disclosure, intimacy, and sexual behaviors among Black women diagnosed with human papillomavirus

Abstract Purpose: Black women suffer disproportionately from Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and related cancers, including greater associated post-diagnosis mortality. Little research and no frameworks, of which we are aware, have characterized the experiences of patients with a positive HPV diagnosis, including which factors contribute to disclosure of one’s HPV positive status, which has specific implications for intimacy with romantic partners, sexual behaviors, and the spread of HPV. Objective: To propose a conceptual framework regarding disclosure, intimacy with romantic partners, and sexual behaviors among Black women diagnosed with an HPV infection. Development: A working group including diverse perspectives in public health (e.g., infectious disease, women’s health, cancer health) conducted a review of eight existing public health, cancer health equity, and infectious diseases to identify frameworks relevant for our outcomes – i.e., communication about one’s disease status, partnership/relationship outcomes, and sexual health. Examples include Communication Privacy Management Theory, Politeness Theory, Objectification Theory, socioecological models, Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs model, and models on social relationships and health, including those focused on stress processes. Framework: Our framework first characterizes HPV disclosure which is a multi-dimensional construct, representing the amount and type of information that is communicated to the partner. Multifaceted factors that contribute to disclosure include HPV knowledge, exposure to community stigma (e.g., sexual silence), self-efficacy for disclosure, and anticipated support from partner. These patient-level factors may not only contribute to disclosure, but also influence how HPV disclosure affects relationship outcomes (e.g., intimacy, sexual behaviors). Other theoretical moderators exist at multiple levels, including at the levels of the disclosure, partner, and relationship. At the level of the disclosure, the modality, amount, and type of information communicated may influence partner responsiveness and relationship outcomes (e.g., reduced intimacy, alternative sexual partners). At the partner level, knowledge of HPV, and exposure to community stigma can contribute to the partner’s response and relationship outcomes. At the relationship level, quality, values, and norms of the relationship, including trust, provision/receipt of emotional support, and communication norms, will also likely moderate the impact of disclosure on relationship outcomes. Emerging Research: This framework offers multiple venues for future cancer equity research. We will conduct participatory qualitative research to identify other relevant factors and pathways through which an HPV diagnosis may impact disclosure, intimacy, and subsequent sexual risk. We will subsequently conduct quantitative survey research to test associations and offer targets for future cancer health equity interventions.

Dynamic Changes and Recovery in Event Venues: Perspectives from MICE Event Planners and Venue Managers

The study examines the role played by event venues in helping the MICE event industry in South Africa recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, adapt to new conditions and innovate. The analysis is based on qualitative data collected during in-depth interviews with MICE event venue suppliers and planners. It was found that a crucial first step in order to reopen these venues was to ensure compliance with safety regulations. In response to the quick shift to virtual and hybrid events, many venues implemented necessary upgrades to accommodate such forms of participation. A number of event planners also considered using multiple venues to host large-scale events. The crisis caused by the pandemic re-emphasised the importance of alternative event venues and outdoor spaces. The study has implications for MICE event planners and suppliers.

Western US Residents’ Knowledge of Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Their Management on Federal Public Lands

Wild free-roaming (WFR) horses (Equus ferus caballus) occur on lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management and US Forest Service in 10 western US states. Little is known about public knowledge concerning management of WFR horse populations. In 2020, we conducted a survey to assess public knowledge with the intent of establishing baseline information that may be used to shape horse management programs and policies on the nation's public lands. We obtained responses from 1 124 residents of the western United States. Our survey asked eight knowledge-based questions of WFR horse ecology and management in the western United States. We conducted chi-square analyses to determine the influence of age, gender, region of residence, and income on respondents’ ability to answer these questions appropriately. Our results indicate that these demographic characteristics had little predictive ability to explain the level of the western US public's knowledge of WFR horse ecology and management (for all comparisons, λ < 0.10). Furthermore, our respondents had little knowledge of WFR ecology and management. Approximately 30% of respondents correctly identified WFR horse origins, 8% correctly indicated WFR horse population size, and 37.5% indicated that they were unaware of legal management options. The lack of basic understanding of WFR horse ecology and management may influence the public's ability to support management efforts or determine fact from propaganda. Approximately 60% of the respondents indicated they primarily used government, university, and organization websites when seeking information. Efforts to increase dissemination of facts on multiple venues, such as social media, websites, and newspapers that link back to government and university websites, could increase public support of future management actions. Additionally, the announcement of management actions, such as round-ups, should consistently include basic background information regarding WFR horse ecology and populations to ensure that the public can make informed conclusions.

A Model for Empowering Rural Solutions for Cervical Cancer Prevention (He Tapu Te Whare Tangata): Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Crossover Trial.

Māori are the Indigenous people of Aotearoa (New Zealand). Despite global acceptance that cervical cancer is almost entirely preventable through vaccination and screening, wāhine Māori (Māori women) are more likely to have cervical cancer and 2.5 times more likely to die from it than non-Māori women. Rural Māori residents diagnosed with cervical cancer have worse outcomes than urban residents. Living in rural Aotearoa means experiencing barriers to appropriate and timely health care, resulting from distance, the lack of community resourcing, and low prioritization of rural needs by the health system and government. These barriers are compounded by the current screening processes and referral pathways that create delays at each step. Screening for high-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) and point-of-care (POC) testing are scientific advances used globally to prevent cervical cancer. This study aims to compare acceptability, feasibility, timeliness, referral to, and attendance for colposcopy following hrHPV detection between a community-controlled pathway and standard care. This is a cluster randomized crossover trial, with 2 primary care practices (study sites) as clusters. Each site was randomized to implement either pathway 1 or 2, with crossover occurring at 15 months. Pathway 1 (community-controlled pathway) comprises HPV self-testing, 1-hour POC results, face-to-face information, support, and immediate referral to colposcopy for women with a positive test result. Pathway 2 (standard care) comprises HPV self-testing, laboratory analysis, usual results giving, information, support, and standard referral pathways for women with a positive test result. The primary outcome is the proportion of women with hrHPV-positive results having a colposcopy within 20 working days of the HPV test (national performance indicator). Qualitative research will analyze successes and challenges of both pathways from the perspectives of governance groups, clinical staff, women, and their family. This information will directly inform the new National Cervical Screening Program. In the first 15-month period, 743 eligible HPV self-tests were performed: 370 in pathway 1 with POC testing and 373 in pathway 2 with laboratory testing. The positivity rate for hrHPV was 7.3% (54/743). Data collection for the second period, qualitative interviews, and analyses are ongoing. This Māori-centered study combines quantitative and qualitative research to compare 2 clinical pathways from detection of hrHPV to colposcopy. This protocol draws on rural community practices strengths, successfully engaging Māori from a whānau ora (family wellness) approach including kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face), kaiāwhina (nonclinical community health workers), and multiple venues for interventions. It will inform the theory and practice of rural models of the use of innovative technology, addressing Māori cervical cancer inequities and facilitating Māori wellness. The findings are anticipated to be applicable to other Indigenous and rural people in high-income countries.

Multimedia Standing Committee: A New Venue Aimed at Educating the Next Generation of Engineers [My View

The Multimedia Standing Committee in the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) was conceptualized as a vehicle to enhance the educational mission of the IES. The underlying goal of this committee is to foster new links among practicing engineers, graduate students, and academic/industrial leaders in the technical areas covered by the IES. With this mission in mind, starting in 2020, the Multimedia Committee started to provide multiple venues to collect and publish topics related to the state of the art in online and offline formats. In addition to Distinguished and Frontier Lecture presentations as well as selected keynote and tutorial presentations at major conferences, such as IECON, ISIE, and ICIT, Society-level online webinars supported by various technical committees were also made available to all members of the IES and beyond. Furthermore, it is planned that spontaneous contributions by IES members will be included by invitation in the near future to create a continuous stream of knowledge in cutting-edge technology and science for our members in industry and academia. The posted contents can be found at the IES resource center ( <uri xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">https://resourcecenter.ies.ieee.org/</uri> ), IES channel at IEEEE.tv ( <uri xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">https://ieeetv.ieee.org/channels/ies</uri> ), or through the IES YouTube channel ( <uri xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">https://www.youtube.com/@ieee-ies/featured</uri> ).

Financing energy futures: the contested assetization of pipelines in Canada

Pipelines are technological and political undertakings, but also financial feats. When pipelines are in protracted states of uncertainty—not yet built, but not yet canceled—the outcomes seem not to benefit anyone: proponents face cost overruns and regulatory battles, while potentially affected communities remain under threat of disruption and dispossession. In light of these negative outcomes, why do such projects remain in liminal states for so long? To answer this question, we interrogate two contested oil pipeline proposals in Canada, the Northern Gateway Pipelines and the Trans Mountain Expansion projects. In both cases, we find that the complex and shifting financial arrangements for these pipelines produced what we call ‘contested assetization.’ This process operates through three intertwined dynamics: temporality (collapsing and expanding time), market valuation (specific forms of knowledge and professional practices), and financial tools (contractual, equity, and other financial arrangements). Proponents create complex, layered future-oriented investable assets, mediating corporate risk; at the same time, opponents target multiple regulatory venues, challenge valuation systems, and highlight future social and ecological costs. We find that although the strategic use of these dynamics has contradictory consequences, overall, these financial processes reinforce corporate power, prolonging fossil fuel-based energy futures.

Configurational analysis of environmental NGOs and their influence on environmental policy in Turkey

Environmental non-governmental organizations (ENGOs) have emerged as important actors with regard to their interest in encouraging and supporting the dissemination of environmental policies. A key starting point in the examination of ENGOs and their influence on environmental policy is to highlight their decisions to affect policy processes as a means of achieving environmental protection. Hence, ENGOs need resources and it is equally important that they effectively employ those resources to achieve environmental policy influence. ENGO lobbying is a process in which different causal conditions interact with one another to affect environmental policy. However, minimal attention has been paid to how different conditions occurring together exert influence. This paper argues that it is the combined effect of resources and effective strategies that enables ENGOs to exert policy influence. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis is used to test the combined nature of different conditions. A dataset created in 2019 that includes 38 ENGOs from Turkey reveals that the combination of multiple interchangeable conditions leads to high ENGO policy influence. The findings suggest that advocacy effectiveness is achieved via two different causal paths. The first path entails having a large staff size, lobbying multiple venues, and using both inside and outside lobbying tactics, while the second involves large membership size, the use of both inside and outside lobbying, and lobbying multiple venues. This study suggests an alternative way of using the determinants of environmental policy influence and offers a new perspective for ENGO leaders to influence environmental policy.

Understanding the Practices and Challenges of Networked Orchestration in Research Communities of Practice

Work and learning communities have become increasingly networked to support their members in developing the skills to solve complex, real-world problems. Though disciplinary knowledge remains important to tackle these problems, working effectively in these modern-day communities of practice demands the ability for one to learn how to access networked support (e.g., venues, tools, resource guides, or peers) throughout the community for one's needs. Against this backdrop, we study networked orchestration--how community members access and learn to access networked supports--in a community of practice for undergraduate research training. Through field observations and in-depth interviews, we find that students in the networked research community dynamically engage with their mentors and peers across multiple venues throughout the week in order to identify, clarify, and resolve their needs. Mentors in the community monitor how students are engaging with the supports available in the network, and provide coaching on effective strategies when students are ineffective on their own. Finally, we surface the challenges involved in each of these processes and offer practical insights for future ecosystem-level networked orchestration technologies that have an understanding of the interactions occurring across the venues and tools in a community, and can support the learning and practice of effective access strategies. Our paper presents important insights for supporting people's work and learning needs in networked future workplaces and learning communities, and provides guidance on designing new technologies for supporting networked ways of working and learning.

Engaging All Stakeholders to Create a Trusted, Data-Driven, Process Improvement Approach to Addressing Learner Mistreatment

Problem: Learner mistreatment has remained an ongoing challenge in academic medicine despite accreditation requirements mandating that every program has systems in place to prevent and respond to mistreatment. While efforts vary across institutions, much remains unanswered in the literature about best practices. Additionally, for the foreseeable future, challenges in the learning environment will likely continue and potentially worsen, given the confluence of multiple external stressors including the COVID-19 pandemic, faculty burnout and general political divisiveness in the nation. It is essential, therefore, to focus on indicators of improvement via process metrics such as knowledge and awareness of mistreatment policies and procedures, willingness to report, reasons for not reporting, and satisfaction with having made a report, while simultaneously focusing on the more complex challenge of eliminating mistreatment occurrences. Intervention: We describe the aspects of our mistreatment prevention and response system first implemented in 2017 along with process and outcome measures. The interventions included expanding our policy outlining appropriate conduct in the teacher-learner relationship; a graduated response protocol to allegations of mistreatment with a clear escalation approach; an online reporting system; a graduate medical education exit survey which mirrors the AAMC Graduation Questionnaire on mistreatment; a robust communication and professional development campaign; a comprehensive data dashboard; and a comprehensive summary report dissemination plan. Context: The interventions were implemented at the largest allopathic medical school in the U.S., with nine campuses across the state. The system is available to all learners, including medical students, graduate students, residents, and fellows. Impact: Both institutional and national data sources have informed the continuous improvement strategies. Data from internal reporting systems, institutional surveys, and national data are presented from 2017 to 2021. Findings include an increasing number of incidents reported each year, including confidential reports from students who include their contact information rather than report anonymously, which we view as an indicator of learner trust in the system. Our data also show consistent improvements in learners’ awareness of the policy and procedures and satisfaction with having made a report. We also include other data such as the nature of complaints submitted and timeliness of our institutional response. Lessons Learned: We present several lessons learned that may guide other institutions looking to similarly improve their mistreatment systems, such as a close partnership between faculty affairs, diversity affairs, and educational affairs leadership; communication, professional development, and training through multiple venues and with all stakeholders; easily accessible reporting with anonymous and confidential options and the ability to report on behalf of others; policy development guidance; data transparency and dissemination; and trust-building activities and ongoing feedback from learners.

Quantum dots in the biomedical world: A smart advanced nanocarrier for multiple venues application.

Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting nanoparticles having different optical and electrical properties when compared to larger particles. They exhibit photoluminescence when irradiated with ultraviolet light, which is due to the transition of an excited electron from the valence band to the conductance band followed by the return of the exciting electron back into the valence band. The size and material of QDs can affect their optical and other properties too. The QDs possess special attributes like high brightness, protection from photobleaching, photostability, color tunability, low toxicity, low production cost, a multiplexing limit, and a high surface-to-volume proportion, which make them a promising tool for biomedical applications. Here, in this study, we summarize the utilization of QDs in different applications including bioimaging, diagnostics, immunostaining, single-cell analysis, drug delivery, and protein detection. Moreover, we discuss the advantages and challenges of using QDs in biomedical applications when compared with other conventional tools.

Product Design Technical Group Sponsored Panel on Publishing as a Practitioner

This panel includes five practitioners who publish across multiple venues. The purpose of this panel is to discuss with practitioners the challenges associated with publishing under restricted settings, such as when they are operating under non-disclosure agreements, to help them learn potential avenues to publish. The panelists represent practitioners with diverse backgrounds and approaches to publishing. The avenues for publication include traditional outlets like peer-reviewed journals and less traditional outlets like patents, magazines, and blog posts. Publishing our work, in whatever medium, can be a great way to enhance the power of the human factors community by sharing our methods and findings with colleagues and those seeking to learn more about human factors and user experience!

The effectiveness of ERAS guidelines in reducing postoperative pain

AbstractBackgroundPoorly controlled acute postsurgical pain can promote chronic opioid use and misuse long after the initial surgical procedure. Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) guidelines have shown promise in reducing opioid exposure and minimizing opioid‐related side effects.AimsThe aims of this evidence‐based practice (EBP) project were to assess the ERAS literature to guide postoperative pain management practice change at an adult colorectal surgical unit, evaluate the practice change outcomes, and disseminate the findings.MethodsA Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, and Time (PICOT) question was established to guide an ERAS literature search. Found articles were critically appraised using the FULD Critical Appraisal Tool. Following the critical appraisal, the steps of EBP were utilized to implement an ERAS guideline for adult colorectal surgical patients in a 281‐bed medical center. Outcomes of the practice change were evaluated by comparing multimodal analgesic, regional anesthesia, and opioid pain medication use before and after guideline implementation.ResultsFive articles were critically appraised for guideline development. After implementation, data demonstrated an increase in the use of multimodal analgesics and regional anesthesia and a decrease in the use of opioid pain medication. These findings were disseminated through multiple venues within the hospital, including a presentation to the stakeholders.Linking Evidence to ActionEvidence‐based strategies to reduce postoperative pain are achievable while reducing perioperative opioid consumption. Engagement of key stakeholders and timely rollout of EBP changes are important for successful implementation. ERAS guidelines with a multimodal analgesia pathway are an effective way to reduce postoperative pain and perioperative opioid consumption.
