Engaging use of Social Media as a research tool to capture the daily life experiences of young people with chronic pain
Get PDFThis article summarises a recent EBN Twitter chat on the use of social media as a research tool to capture the daily life experiences of young people with chronic pain. The Twitter chat was led by Line Caes (@LineCaes) from the University of Stirling and Abbie Jones (@abbiejones86), a PhD student at the University of Bath.

Mining Deep-Ocean Mineral Deposits: What are the Ecological Risks?
Get PDFA key question for the future management of the oceans is whether the mineral deposits that exist on the seafloor of the deep ocean can be extracted without significant adverse effects to the environment. The potential impacts of mining are wide-ranging and will vary depending on the type of metal-rich mineral deposit being mined. There is, currently, a significant lack of information about deep-ocean ecosystems and about potential mining technologies: thus, there could be many unforeseen impacts. Here, we discuss the potential ecological impacts of deep-ocean mining and identify the key knowledge gaps to be addressed. Baseline studies must be undertaken, as well as regular monitoring of a mine area, before, during, and after mineral extraction

From guerrilla theater to media warfare Abbie Hoffman\u27s riotous revolution in America: a myth
Get PDFThe following thesis is a discussion of the radical activist Abbie Hoffman\u27s theatrical work to revolutionize the United States. What the author does is explain the historical uniqueness of Hoffman\u27s theatrical techniques as tools for social change. What made Abbie Hoffman such a unique character from that already bizarre and devastating time in the United States known as The Sixties was his ability to infuse pot with politics, fun with social activism and cultural change with his contemporary means of communication. He was able to excite and activate a whole generation of people who would otherwise drop out of society rather than become involved by walking a thin line between being a revolutionary and being a clown. The thesis begins by focusing on Hoffman\u27s early guerrilla theater performances and proceeds to his larger, nationally focused demonstrations in Washington D.C. and Chicago. Each chapter extrapolates from the descriptions of the performances the theories which influenced the subsequent performance. The culmination of Abbie\u27s work is his highly publicized trial (with seven other defendants) in Chicago for the riots that took place there the previous year. What we are made to understand is that while Abbie and most of the other radicals of the time are often brushed off as stoned freaks with nothing to offer in the way of social improvement, it is exactly their ability to volley between being taken seriously and being overlooked which allowed them to get away with saying and doing so much
Marking Memphis: Tracing Memphis History through the T. H. Hayes Ledgers
No full textPresentation by Abbie Norris ('17) and Zaria Jones ('19) delivered at the Digital Preservation and Scholarship Summer symposium.We decided to work together after having similar desires to research common addresses that were referenced within the T. H. Hayes ledgers. Through this project, we attempted to highlight the significance of these highly-referenced hospitals, physicians, cemeteries, and schools. We decided to use the application StoryMap in order to visually represent these locations. We researched addresses and history for the locations, used books and websites to find then pictures of the locations in the early 20th century, and photographed the locations as they appear now. We then Photoshopped the then and now images for a side-by-side comparison and uploaded them to our story map according to their corresponding addresses. This allowed us to shed light on the scope and significance of these underrepresented aspects of Memphis history. While StoryMap helped us achieve this, its image size and layout restrictions on the website proved it to be a useful but limited tool
