PPE Reimagined
No full textSustainable personal protective equipment (PPE) in the health service will be the focus of a public lecture and exhibition at Worcester’s new medical school. The exhibition is a showcase of Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) funded research into the development of a sustainable uniform for nurses and surgeons.
Designed to benefit medical staff, patients and the environment, the PPE has been designed within a Circular System, involving the repurposing of used garments within healthcare, and the fashion and textile industry.
Professor Kay Mohanna from the University of Worcester’s Three Counties Medical School said: “The exhibition taps into the creative expertise of people who work in fashion and design and brings it together with the need for the NHS to be mindful of sustainability.”
She continued: “It’s really important for our students, the clinicians of the future, to be thinking about the impact they can have on the environment, because planetary health has an impact on human health.”
The exhibition is centred around a reusable PPE gown for nurses and surgeons, designed to avoid landfill, alongside work showcasing creative ways to upcycle used gowns into new products.
The reusable gown was created by a team led by Professor Katherine Townsend from Nottingham Trent University, in collaboration with industry and NHS partners.
Professor Townsend said: “Early in the COVID pandemic I read a lot of reports about healthcare workers being uncomfortable in single-use, one-sized, isolation gowns, most of which were being imported.”
She continued: “I had the idea to make a more fit-for-purpose, reusable gown based on feedback from nursing professionals. With the support of AHRC funding and UK partners, Anze Ltd and Revolution-ZERO we made and tested this prototype.”
A public lecture will mark the launch of the exhibition, exploring the gown’s design development, the repurposing and refashioning initiatives and the project’s next stages.
Professor Townsend said: “The lecture will focus on our vision for a Circular PPE System which has environmental and societal benefits.”
Professor Kay Mohanna added: “It’s an opportunity for people to come and see the inside of the medical school while finding out about sustainability in the health service.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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

Portrait of Joseph B. Townsend
No full textJoseph B. Townsend (1822-1896) was a paradigmatic Philadelphia lawyer for more than fifty years. He was elected a trustee at Jefferson Medical College (now Sidney Kimmel Medical College) in 1878 and served as chairman of the board from 1894 until his death in 1896.
Townsend was born in 1822 in Philadelphia, and was admitted as an attorney of the Philadelphia courts in 1842. He served as vice chancellor (1891) and then chancellor (1894) of the Law Association of Philadelphia, and was a respected authority on trusts, estates, and real estate. In addition to Jefferson Medical College, he was active in the management of Pennsylvania Hospital, and received an honorary LLD degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He was also a manager of the Western Savings Fund Society. He was succeeded on Jefferson’s board by his attorney sons, James P. Townsend and Charles C. Townsend.
Joseph B. Townsend’s posthumous portrait was painted two years after his death by Emma F. Leavitt Randall. Although the artist was dependent on photographs, the attorney’s bust-length portrait is surprisingly lifelike. His ample girth, ruddy complexion, and amiable expression correspond to descriptions of the attorney as kindly, lively, affectionate, and a lover of the outdoors. The fluidly brushed strokes give an animation and energy to his face, white hair and beard, and costume.
About the ArtistEmma Leavitt Randall (artist) was a Philadelphian who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and exhibited portraits there steadily between 1885 and 1897. In 1893, she married Dr. Burton Alexander Randall, an eminent clinical professor of diseases of the ear at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
