Alzheimer\u27s Disease and Other Dementias: A Training Manual for Special Care Unit Staff
No full textAlzheimer\u27s Disease currently affects over 4 million adults, at a cost of care of over $90 billion annually. As the aging population increases, so will the number of individuals affected with this illness. Current services are inadequate, and health care costs continue to rise. The future will see an increased demand for specialized services relating to the care of individuals with Alzheimer\u27s Disease and other dementias. With little or no regulation regarding the implementation of such services, the quality of care remains uncertain. The purpose of this project was two-fold. First, this project focused on developing a training manual for those staff involved in long term care settings. Second, this manual was also intended to be used by family and caregivers to determine if the prospective specialized services would meet their needs and the needs of their loved ones

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Distributed Succession: Managing The Transition Of Multi-Site Campus Pastors
No full textSuccession planning is vital for certain Protestant churches that utilize a unique ministry model called multi-site. For multi-site churches, a critical senior leadership role is the campus pastor. The focus of this qualitative research was to study how multi-site churches within the Converge denomination conduct succession management of their campus pastors. In order to explore campus pastor succession, church leaders were interviewed about the process by which they think about, plan for, and execute succession management. A multiple-case design was used for this research, examining four selected multi-site churches that have succeeded at least one campus pastor. Multi-site churches in this study did not have a formalized process to manage the succession of campus pastors. However, these churches did conduct intentional leadership development that aided in the succession planning for campus pastors. This research contributed toward the scholarly literature on this topic by providing researched-based case studies on how multi-site churches plan and execute a campus pastor transition, a topic previously unrepresented in the published literature. An evidence-based succession management framework for multi-site church leaders is recommended.|Keywords: church leadership, multi-site church, succession planning, succession management, case-study, qualitative research, leadership development, Converge.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
