No full textProfile piece on the author\u27s 18-year journey from near-death. On Feb. 19, 1984, Phyllis Austin was impaled by a tree branch 1.5 inches in diameter that speared the back of her right thigh and buried itself in her upper abdomen. She was cross-country skiing on Pleasant Mountain in Bridgton at the time of the incident and credits Dr. John Doyle, a surgeon at Northern Cumberland Regional Hospital in Bridgton who served in a field hospital in Vietnam, with saving her life.

The Bibliographic Concept of Work in Cataloguing and its Issues
Full text linkThis report explores the IFLA’s document Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). It discusses the notion of work in cataloguing as it was built since the 1950s, inasmuch this notion constitutes the conceptual framework for the proposal. Also, the entity-relationship database modeling (ERDM) system is described as far as such model provides to FRBR the operative elements that make it functional. ERDM gives to FRBR a user-centered approach as well. In its third chapter, the report tests the FRBR model through its application to a set of items belonging to the novel Rayuela, by Julio Cortázar, held at the Benson Latin American Collection of the University of Texas at Austin. Finally, some critical issues are raised along with general conclusions regarding the functionality of the mode
Supporting Public Health Nurses with Breastfeeding Interventions for Late Preterm Infants
Full text linkLate preterm infants often experience feeding difficulty post discharge from hospital. While breast milk is especially important for late preterm infants, they have lower exclusive breastfeeding rates than full term infants. This is because mothers of late preterm infants often do not receive sufficient amount of breastfeeding support in the postpartum period. Furthermore, in the Canadian context, guidelines do not exist for health care providers to use to assist them in providing breastfeeding support for mothers of late preterm infants in the community setting. We used a modified Delphi approach to begin to fill this gap. We present information relating to physiological development in systems, its significance to feeding, and potential interventions for public health nurses. This information will assist PHNs in their clinical reasoning and decision-making when supporting mothers and their LPIs to exclusively breastfeed in the community

The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author
