Documentary and meta-documentary linguistics
Full text linkAn essential component of Documentary linguistics is metadata: data about documentation records and analysis ensuring context, meaning and use can be determined for archiving, data management, retrieval, and ethical responsibilities. I propose Meta-documentary linguistics: theorising and creating documentation of documentations and their outcomes, illustrated by Australian legacy materials work
A systematic review and meta-analysis of the risk of microbial contamination of aseptically prepared doses in different environments
No full textPurpose To review microbial contamination rates about preparation of individual and batch doses usingaseptic techniques within pharmaceutical (controlled) and clinical (ward and theatre) environments.Methods Systematic review, involving amalgamation of data using a random effect model and metaanalysis.Results A total of 19 studies from 17 reports (7277 doses), mostly single arm studies, were identified for analysis. The overall contamination rates for doses prepared in clinical environments were found to be 5.0% (95% CI; 1.8%, 13.1%, n = 8 studies) for individual doses and 2.0% (95% CI; 0.3%,13.1%; n = 5) for doses prepared as part of a batch. Rates for doses prepared in pharmaceutical environments were found to be 1.9% (95% CI; 0.8%, 4.2%; n = 5) for individual doses and 0.0% (95% CI; 0.0%, 0.8%; n= 1) for doses prepared as part of a batch. The results indicate greater overall contamination rates of doses prepared in clinical than pharmaceutical environments, in those prepared individually than in batch preparation, and in those in which additions rather than no additions were made. Significant differences were only found between pharmaceutical and clinical environments for batch doses, and between batch and individual doses prepared in a pharmaceutical environment. The studies differed substantially in sample size, interventions and comparison conditions, especially in the clinical setting. The quality of the data was judged to be low. Conclusion Contamination rates in clinical and pharmaceutical environments were commonly found to be unacceptably high. Intuitive recommendations for reducing contamination ratesby carrying out the procedures in a pharmaceutical environment using batch doses are supported by anevidence base that needs to be strengthened further
Prescribing adult intravenous nutrition
No full textPatients who are unable to achieve an adequate nutritional intake via their gut are at risk of malnutrition and its many associated problems. They may, therefore, require feeding directly into a vein. Prescribing Adult Intravenous Nutrition is an introductory text offering the healthcare professional involved in nutritional support a practical guide to the broad principles and practice of adult intravenous nutrition.Prescribing Adult Intravenous Nutrition describes:
why nutritional care is so important
what should be given
what can go wrong
how to deal with any intravenous feeding problems
how to organise aspects of nutritional care.
Numerous illustrations and case studies help to illustrate the principles discussed.

Language, Land and Song: Studies in honour of Luise Hercus
No full textLanguage, Land and Song features the work of 45 contributors, who highlight current practice and draw on insights from anthropology, digital humanities, education, ethnography, history, linguistics and musicology. The book shows how the value of this multi-faceted documentation has become clear over the last fifty years. In doing so, it celebrates the achievements of Luise Hercus, a pioneer in the documentation of Australian languages
