R2 Digital Library
Get PDFR2 Digital Library from Rittenhouse Book Distributors, Inc. is a web based e-book platform of over 8,000 health science publications in the medical, nursing, and allied health fields covering a wide range of disciplines and specialties from renowned publishers in the health sciences. Librarians are able to purchase e-books on an individual, permanent basis enabling medical libraries of all sizes to build a collection that is specific to the needs of their users. The product's patron driven acquisition (PDA) model is a distinctive feature that allows a trial access to titles before being considered for purchase. R2 Digital Library offers a variety of authentication options allowing it to be remotely accessed with ease, but does not have a mobile app. The selection of titles is extensive, but would benefit from expansion in specialty areas such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, and psychology and more inclusion of Open Educational Resource (OER) titles. The cost of the product is notably high in regards to the annual fee required to maintain access to one's collection and in consideration of the price of individual titles in comparison to third party book suppliers which come with just one user license. The intuitive interface, collection development features, unparalleled title list, and customizable nature of the product are key features that will help to balance out the cost of the product, but R2 Digital Library is likely to be best suited for smaller medical libraries that can accommodate a collection with limited user licenses
Psychology Database
Get PDFPsychology Database from ProQuest is a comprehensive, online collection of full-text resources dedicated to psychology and its related disciplines. With a substantial list of scholarly journals from the field's top publishers along with a strong collection of full-text dissertations, this database is positioned to serve the needs of a range of users in their psychology research. The intuitive ProQuest interface is easy to navigate and the product is compatible with most internet browsers and authentication methods. Psychology Database would gain appeal by increasing their collection of videos, books, trade publications, and other resources beyond scholarly journals and dissertations. Users who prefer the EBSCOhost or Ovid Technologies platform or who require a more comprehensive indexing resource may consider PsycInfo as an alternative to Psychology Database
The Effectiveness of Vertical Jump Protocol to Determine Return to Play Guidelines, Post ACL Reconstruction
Get PDFAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have gained much attention in the athletic world with their increase in incidence within the past decades. Due to surgery being the most successful form of treatment the question is often; when will the athlete be able to return to play? This particular research dives deeper into the return to play scenario to assure that athletes return to play safely and also decrease their risk of reinjury. This study evaluates 2 college level football players who underwent ACL reconstruction and were on their way to returning to participation in their sports. They performed static jumps on force plates that allowed us to track both their jumping and landing forces on each leg. They performed jumps with a 0kg bar and a 20kg bar at 50%, 75%, and 100% max effort for a total of 3 jumping sessions. The results from each athlete demonstrate that one of the athletes was within range to return to play, while the second athlete was not, possibly due to major discrepancies between their injured and uninjured legs. These results can help clinicians and coaches to better understand when their athletes are ready to return to play and also when there chance of reinjury is decreased
Spaces of Commoning, in Berlin and Other Cities, and Their Potential for the Building of Sustainable Social Communities and Educational Cultures
Get PDFAvailable through DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.31459.20002/1; Presented at Conference: 49th Annual Conference of the Urban Affairs Association (UAA): Claiming Rights to the City: Community, Capital, and the State, April 24 – 27, 2019, Los Angeles, California, Luskin Conference CenterAs educators, we strive for accessible, just and inclusive educational options for all children and youth, including those from vulnerable social strata. We reflect the processes inside of educational institutions, and examine the social, cultural and economic processes surrounding and overarching these institutional spaces. Guided by a growing literature about the `creative city´ in the social sciences, we started extended field studies in Berlin. The driving motivation behind this endeavour is an educational one and hopes to collect ideas for the building of innovative school cultures. Cities increasingly have become focal points for negotiating rights, living space, and access, with many cities balancing the coexistence of privilege with the lack of opportunity. Innovative projects which explore new forms of ownership and access, collective production and reproduction, right and solidarity, provide valuable impetus for more sustainable forms of community development and public education. To cite as an example: The ifa-touring exhibition `An Atlas of Commoning: Places of Collective Production´, made in collaboration with ARCH+ in 2018. In the sense of true solidarity and togetherness, the project seeks to revitalize the emancipatory concept of `us´. In this endeavor, Aby Warburg´s concept of the atlas is used, as a form of cultural mapping. This `atlas´ documents trendsetting urban projects related to `commoning´ - a set of practices dealing with the production and management of collective resources and spaces. These include a process in which networks of solidarity are created, and individual and collective rights are redefined. Inspired by `An Atlas of Commoning´ the poster provides a review of selected projects shown in the exhibition and discusses the potential of the concept of commoning from an educational perspective. It offers a theoretical framework for connecting urban studies and education science, with a strong focus on redefining the collective rights of children and youth who are vulnerable in their development and learning
How Nurture Groups Can Facilitate Inclusive Practice in Primary and Secondary Schools: A Theory Map for Enriching the University Students' Learning Experience
Get PDFNurture groups originated in East London, in the 1960s. The first nurture groups provided education for multicultural migrant children, whose schools and parents were under enormous stress. Today, there are more than 1000 nurture groups in the UK across primary, secondary, and specialized schools. A key figure in the development of the model is Marjorie Boxall (1923-2004). The goals of a nurture group are to restore for the child the experiences of early nurture found in the child´s neighborhood school, to create an inclusive place within mainstreamed classes for children who are vulnerable to social, emotional and behavioral difficulties and to facilitate the successful return of children who have been separated from their mainstream classes due to social, emotional or behavioral difficulties. The nurture group is fully integrated within a supportive school which has a policy for nurture groups for the whole school. What are the principles of a nurture group? Growth is more important, than pathology. Enriching children´s learning is the focus, not to provide therapy. The nurture process is based in attachment, and is mediated within and through a secure relationship (Ainsworth, Bowlby). Children´s learning is best understood developmentally. Behavior of all kinds is a form of communication. The classroom offers a safe space to nurture self-esteem and encourage language, which is a vital means of communication. By recreating the process of earliest learning, children build concepts, skills, controls, and develop autonomy. Nurture group educators interact intuitively with children and one another, modeling learning experiences similar to those experienced by students in their earliest years

This article,Ten-day workshops and field trips had a key role in the partnership between a university of applied sciences in East Germany and a small private liberal arts college in North Carolina. This case study evaluates activities and programs from the involved faculty´s perspective. The authors look at the underlying institutional process, they discuss organization and content of the programs, and reflect the learning experiences of the participating students. Conclusions are drawn for a further program development and with regard to internationalization strategies
