To what extent, and in which ways, do community integration projects in the UK support the psychosocial wellbeing of refugee members?
No full textThe number of forcibly displaced people worldwide currently sits at 108.4 million, with nearly 329,000 refugees recorded as living in the UK. UK asylum and immigration policy is becoming ever more restrictive with the backdrop of the hostile environment, including no right to work for asylum seekers, the Nationality and Borders Act 2022 and, most recently, the Illegal Migration Act 2023. Such policies serve to disrupt asylum seeker and refugee integration within UK communities, requiring third-sector organisations, including community integration projects (CIPs), to fill statutory gaps. A lot has been written about CIPs but there are still opportunities to discover to what extent, and in which ways, they support the psychosocial wellbeing (PSW) of refugee members, drawing on experience from emergency and humanitarian settings.
This narrative literature review of 20 studies overall finds that CIPs support the PSW of refugee members through safe space provision, facilitating meaningful occupation, addressing members’ marginalisation and through contributions to integration strategy. These findings have been analysed in light of the Indicators of Integration framework and the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) core principles, with the author suggesting that support of PSW in integration settings would be facilitated by implementation of the IASC MHPSS principles.
The author suggests updating the Indicators of Integration framework to include ‘agency’ under the Facilitators heading, and the creation of guidelines similar to the IASC MHPSS ones for emergencies but for integration settings
Continuous improvement projects: an authorship bibliometric analysis
No full text
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to describe the current research on hospital continuous improvement projects (CIPs) from an author characteristics’ perspective. This work addresses the following questions: who are the predominant research authors in hospital CIPs? To what extent are the research communities collaborating in distinct research groups? How internationalized has hospital CIPs research become with respect to author location?
Design/methodology/approach
A systematic literature review was conducted, identifying 302 academic publications related to hospital CIPs. Publications were analyzed using: author, quantity, diversity, collaboration, and impact.
Findings
Hospital CIPs are increasingly attracting new scholars each year. Based on the authors’ analysis, authors publishing in this area can be described as a relatively new international community given the countries represented.
Originality/value
This paper describes the current hospital CIP research by assessing author characteristics. Future work should examine additional attributes to characterize maturity such as how new knowledge is being created and to what extent new knowledge is being disseminated to practitioners.

The cultural industries production system: a case study of employment change in Britain, 1984 - 91
No full textThe cultural industries sector employed 4.5% of all employees in Britain in 1991; that is, it was equal in size to the construction industry, or to the combined employment in the agricultural, and the extractive industries. However, this sector has remained relatively underanalysed both in the geographical and in the planning literature. The author begins by defining the cultural industries production system (CIPS). In the second part he operationalises this definition with respect to secondary sources on employment in the CIPS in Britain. In the third part he considers the change in the employment structure of the CIPS between 1984 and 1991, and goes on to address the regional patterns of employment in the CIPS with particular emphasis upon London and the South East.

A systematic literature review on safety research related to chemical industrial parks
No full textThe increasing demand for chemical products has driven the construction and development of chemical industrial areas, or so-called 'chemical industrial parks' (CIPs), but this has intrinsically raised the risk of major accidents. Therefore, it is significant and urgent to summarize the state of art and research needs in the field of CIP safety. In this paper, a keyword co-occurrence analysis of 116 scientific articles was conducted to support the classification of research topics in this field, then an overview of those research topics was presented to investigate the evolution of safety research with respect to CIPs. Specifically, the way that safety assessments are conducted, as well as how safety management and safety technology in such areas are classified and investigated, followed by detailed descriptions of representative methods and their contributions to CIP safety, are discussed. An integrated safety framework for CIPs is proposed to organize safety approaches and measures systematically. Based on the classification and analysis of studies on management, assessment, and technology related to CIP safety, the research trends and future directions and challenges are discussed and outlined. Those results are useful for improving theoretical method and industrial strategies, and can advance the safety and sustainability development of CIPs.Safety and Security Scienc
Addition theorems for Slater-type orbitals and their application to multicenter multielectron integrals of central and noncentral interaction potentials
No full textBy the use of complete orthonormal sets of psi(alpha)-ETOs ( alpha= 1, 0, -1, -2,...) introduced by the author, new addition theorems are derived for STOs and arbitrary central and noncentral interaction potentials (CIPs and NCIPs). The expansion coefficients in these addition theorems are expressed through the Gaunt and Gegenbauer coefficients. Using the addition theorems obtained for STOs and potentials, general formulae in terms of three-center overlap integrals are established for the multicenter t-electron integrals of CIPs and NCIPs that arise in the solution of the N-electron atomic and molecular problem ( 2less than or equal totless than or equal toN) when a Hylleraas approximation in Hartree-Fock-Roothaan theory is employed. With the help of expansion formulae for translation of STOs, the three-center overlap integrals are expressed through the two-center overlap integrals. The formulae obtained are valid for arbitrary quantum numbers, screening constants and location of orbitals
Unified analytical treatment of two‐electron multicenter integrals of central and noncentral interaction potentials over Slater orbitals
No full textThe complete orthonormal sets of psi(alpha)-exponential-type orbitals (ETOs) (alpha = 1, 0, -1, -2,...) introduced by the author for expanding Slater-type orbitals (STOs) enable two-electron multicenter integrals of arbitrary central and noncentral interaction potentials (CIPs and NCIPs) to be reduced to one-center two-electron integrals. These one-center integrals are advantageously reduced using Fourier convolution methods. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
Implementation of a “Best Self” Exercise to Decrease Imposter Phenomenon in Residents
No full textBackground: Imposter phenomenon (IP) is common in medicine. An intervention from the business world, the Reflected Best Self Exercise (RBSE), in which an individual elicits stories of themselves at their best, has not been studied in medical residents.
Objective: To determine the feasibility of implementing the RBSE and its potential for reducing IP in residents.
Methods: All incoming internal medicine and medicine-pediatrics interns in the 2022-2023 academic year at a single institution were invited to complete the RBSE. Participants elicited stories from contacts prior to beginning residency and received their stories during intern orientation in a 1-hour session led by one author with no prior training. Cost and time requirements were assessed. IP was measured via the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) at baseline, 1 month, and 6 months following the RBSE. Informal feedback on the RBSE was collected via surveys at 1 month and 6 months.
Results: Nineteen of 35 interns (54.3%) completed the RBSE. It cost 1,425. Twenty-eight of 35 (80%) completed the baseline CIPS, with scores similar between participants and nonparticipants (64.9 vs 68.9). CIPS scores were lower in participants at 1 month (57.6 vs 69.6) and 6 months (55.6 vs 64.5) but did not meet statistical significance. Survey feedback from participants suggested the intervention was beneficial.
Conclusions: Implementing the RBSE in residents was feasible with reasonable cost and time commitment. It appeared highly acceptable to residents, with some promise of effects on an IP scale
