Palliative care provision in acute and critical care settings: What are the challenges?
No full textPatterns of dying and death are changing worldwide. Most people state their preference to die at home, yet the majority of deaths in developed countries occur in acute hospital settings.1 Concerns about the management of pain and other symptoms at home, feelings of uncertainty, caregiver burden,2 limited resources and geographic challenges for rurally-located patients3 contribute to the decision to seek hospital admission at the end of life.No Full Tex
The alternative learning and attendance system: is it effective in a rural high school system?
No full textPlan BSTATEMENT OF PROBLEM: This study was done to examine the instructor use of the ALAC room and its success in behavior modification in a rural high school system. The study investigated student assignments to the ALAC room and the influence the assignments had on their behavior when they returned to the classroom. The expected findings are teacher responses that will define the purpose and the value of the ALAC room in the future. Therefore the effectiveness of the ALAC room will be improved through the future use of the evaluations and results of the survey. RESEARCH DESIGN: The research is of quantitative design. The subjects of this study are from a population of teachers at Bloomer High School that had the use of the ALAC room available to them. A cluster sampling technique was used. The survey was developed by the researcher. The research study focused on the following questions: How often is the ALAC room used by instructors? Is there a certain percentage of students that are repeat visitors? Is the ALAC room an effective tool for behavior modification? FINDINGS: The findings are from 28 teachers that had the use of the ALAC room during the school year of 1998-1999. The frequency for the correction of disruptive student behavior were as follows: 77.3% (n=17) used the ALAC room to correct disruptive behavior 1 to 5 times. The less frequent responses occurred in the categories of 6 to 10 and 21 to 25 times. This information indicates that the ALAC room is meeting the goals for which it was intended. It was created to be a short term solution for problem students, as well as a center for instructional support. CONCLUSIONS: The potential of the ALAC room is far reaching. The establishment of an ALAC room is just the beginning of a central concept of discipline with several alternatives for the student based upon the number of referrals and the number of staff that refer the same student

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Research involving dying persons: Time to reconsider?
No full textUsing research to generate evidence to inform clinical practice is a position adopted almost universally in healthcare, with health care organisations, policymakers and clinicians using research evidence to improve the quality of care. Yet, when it comes to palliative and end-of-life care, the situation may be different.No Full Tex
