No full textA risk factor model for peristomal skin complications
Get PDFFor people living with an ostomy, leakage and peristomal skin complications (PSC) are common issues that often appear together. Better means of preventing these issues could improve the quality of life of these patients. The purpose of the research presented here was to identify and build a model of risk factors for PSC.Risk factors were identified via discussion sessions with Coloplast’s internal ostomy care experts, the Coloplast Skin Expert Panel, the Global Coloplast Ostomy Forum (COF), and 18 national COF boards, collectively representing morethan 400 ostomy care nurses from around the world. Risk factors were identified by these expert groups, analysed, clustered into categories, and discussed in several stages, resulting in the risk factor model for PSC, comprising threeoverall categories and their related risk factors (n=24). Consensus on the model was achieved using a modified Delphi process involving over 4000 experts within ostomy care from 35 countries. In parallel, a systematic literature review of risk factors for PSC was performed to identify primary literature supporting the model. Relevant articles published from 2000 until August 2020 were included in the review, and 58 articles were found to support 19 out of the total 24risk factors. The risk factor model for PSC was ratified by the Coloplast Skin Expert Panel and the Global COF and holds potential to be included in guidelines for healthcare professionals and to be used as a tool in daily clinical practice

Connected Creativity: The Impact of Web Search on Everyday Creative Thinking
Get PDFWith more than 60% of the world's population online, how does our rapidly evolving digital world impact creative processes and outcomes? On the one hand, there is the promise of the shared knowledge and ideas of humanity, readily available at our fingertips, providing numerous starting points from which to develop new ideas. On the other hand, we may be overwhelmed by the volume of information, struggle to find and identify quality information to form the basis of a creative thinking process, and instead fall back on common, accepted ideas. Throughout this article, we place creators and creating in the ubiquitous situated context of searching the World Wide Web (i.e., the Web) and consider the implications for a range of everyday creative thinking processes. Research in this area is surprisingly limited, and a number of suggestions are made to take this area forward as the Web becomes an ever-expanding part of our cognitive ecology.</p
Sources and Destinations of Misattributions in Recall of Instances of Repeated Events
Get PDFRepeated experience of events promotes schema formation. Later activation of the schema facilitates recall of the general structure of the events, whereas attribution of details to instances requires systematic decision-making based on detail characteristics. For repeated events, source monitoring may be less effective due to the similarity and interference of details across instances and consequently result in source attribution errors. To date, researchers have examined aggregated misattributions across instances and have found that misattributions are more frequent in the middle than in the boundary instances. In this study, we investigated the trajectories of misattributions using data from six studies (N = 633), where participants recalled repeated interactive marketing-themed events (Study 1), mock-crime filmed events (Study 2), stories (Study 3), and categorized word lists (Studies 4–6). The patterns confirmed the expected primacy and recency effects, showing fewer misattributions from and to the boundary instances relative to the middle instances. In addition, the patterns indicated proximity effects: Confusions more frequently occurred across adjacent instances and gradually decreased for instances that were further apart from the source. Our findings suggest that detail characteristics that form the basis of source attribution decisions provide information about the relative position of instances in repeated events, where the boundary instances serve as anchors, and where confusion relatively easily occurs across neighbouring instances. In line with context-based models of memory, our findings indicate that a higher-level organization of repeated events that emerges at encoding guides retrieval and source monitoring decisions.</p
An Analysis of the Strategic Approach Used by Resort Mini-Clubs to Educate Children about Responsible Tourism
No full textThe hospitality sector, via resort mini-clubs also referred as kids' clubs, has put in place initiatives to empower children to be responsible tourists. This is all the more important as children are the tourists of the future. In their endeavour to educate children during their holidays, many of the activities developed by resort mini-clubs are nature-based; on the long term, this strategy is likely to contribute to the long-term sustainability of the industry. Indeed, the closer an individual is to nature, the more likely this person is to be respectful of the environment. Developing these types of activities could also contribute to the competitive advantage of resorts as most resort mini-clubs are not offering yet this type of sustainability-orientated activities. From a theoretical perspective, resort-mini clubs could be assimilated to lieu de mémoire, and as a result they have the potential to influence the sustainability attitude of the future young adults, and adults whom the children will be
Surveillance Capitalism in Schools: What’s the Problem?
No full textDigital surveillance in schools has been legitimised by the two-fold reasoning that it will optimise learning (the educational imperative) and increase safety in the school context (the safeguarding imperative). Yet a new layer of commercial surveillance has been introduced, through the third-party provision of educational technology governed by surveillance capitalism. Despite privacy concerns and routine breaches and misuse of children’s data, certain platforms have come to dominate the educational infrastructures at a massive scale. The protective legal frameworks such as the GDPR are somewhat disconnected from the social reality of schooling, and the discourse of ‘privacy’ is insufficient to understand the real existential harm. The following analysis seeks to highlight that the dynamics of surveillance capitalism in schools is an ethical threat to sustainable education, and a young person’s healthy sense of self. The analysis draws on David Lyon’s work on electronic surveillance, in particular the notion of ‘personhood’ to delineate where the existential harm occurs if surveillance capitalism continues to be an accepted model for EdTech in schools. While education is the threatened space, it can also provide a viable way forward in a digital literacy curriculum which has true criticality, agency and empowerment at heart
Afterword:Representing Queens
No full textThis brief afterword brings together key themes from the ‘Representing Queens’ cluster of articles spread across issues 37.2 and 39.1. The afterword discusses key questions posed by these articles on how and why certain queens and royal women are remembered and represented in particular ways. By drawing together the contents of the nine articles in the cluster, this afterword identifies unifying themes which illuminate the impetus behind changing representations of queens and royal wome
