bully-boos
No full textbully2 nWhen the dandelion flowers have gone to seed, they are called "bully-boos". If they are blown around by the wind and get in a person's hair, Miss R. says that that person is said to"look like a bully-boo", in comparison to the dandelion. . . . The word "bully" is pronounced to rhyme with the word "wooley".See cited quotation.DNE-cit JH 2/72Used IUsed IUsed ISource appears in DNE I as C 71-3

She was always frightened of the Janney-Boos .... Oh well sometimes she'd say, "Where do the Janney-Boos come from?".... I'd say "Harbour le Cou!" harbour le Cou: that's where all the Janneys used to always come from when they come in, you know. 85 In the single report of this figure it is clearly related to the Christmas mummers who are known as Janneys.

Enhancing mutual understanding in synchronous computer-mediated communication by training - Trade-offs in judgmental tasks
No full textIneffective use of text-based synchronous computer-mediated communication (CMC), that is, chats, may affect the quality of communicative exchange compared to effective use and to face-to-face (FtF) communication. Especially in groups making decisions in equivocal judgmental tasks, inappropriate use of the CMC medium often impairs performance. Users need high communication and media competencies to overcome the negative effects brought about by the technology. Without intervention, mutual understanding and satisfaction with the group process are reduced in computer-mediated decision groups. Training that helps participants adapt to the medium should provide them with the needed competencies. The authors found a complex pattern of process and outcome effects with the best performance scores in the FtF condition, performance scores in CMC with training approximating those of the FtF condition, and lowest performance scores in CMC without training
boos
No full textboo nI can remember when I was a small boy in Cape La Hune it was very easy to pick up head lice (_boos_) and of course everynight my mother would comb our heads with a fine tooth comb. Sometimes we didn't take to kindly to having this done but mother always had a threat which was: "Come and get your head combed because _if you don't the boos will tow you over the stage head."_ I have also heard of one family who used to make a game of looking heads. They used to get a Big Ben tobacco can cover and see who could make the biggest crack in killing the louse.YesDNE-cit DICT CEN.Used I and SupUsed I2Used ISource appears in DNE I as C 71-9
How to enrich team research in healthcare by considering five theoretical perspectives
No full textThe aim of this paper is to inspire team research to apply diverse and unconventional perspectives to study team dynamics and performance in healthcare settings. To illustrate that using multiple perspectives can yield valuable insights, we examine a segment of a team interaction during a heart-surgery, using five distinct interdisciplinary perspectives known from small group research: the psychodynamic, functional, conflict-power-status, temporal, and social identity perspectives. We briefly describe each theoretical perspective, discuss its application to study healthcare teams, and present possible research questions for the segment at hand using the respective perspective. We also highlight the benefits and challenges associated with employing these diverse approaches and explore how they can be integrated to analyze team processes in health care. Finally, we offer our own insights and opinions on the integration of these approaches, as well as the types of data required to conduct such analyses. We also point to further research avenues and highlight the benefits associated with employing these diverse approaches.
