Stay the Night: Meera Margaret Singh at the Gladstone Hotel Stay the Night : Meera Margaret Singh à l’hôtel Gladstone
No full textThis essay examines Meera Margaret Singh’s exhibition Nightingale in the time and place of the liminal space we call “hotel.” In intertexual dialogue with Wayne Koestenbaum’s Hotel Theory, the author not only reviews Singh’s intimate photographs of her mother, she reads the images with and against the architecture in which they are exhibited. The Gladstone as exhibition space redoubles Singh’s emphasis on the tense connectivity of apparent binaries: youth and age, public and private, artist and model, object and spectator, living and dying. The quotidian activities of hotel living—guests’ arrivals, departures, and returns—become inextricable pieces of Singh’s site-specific installation. The author theorizes what Freud calls the “foretaste of mourning” in this work, grappling with what will be but is not yet the death of the mother. Singh’s Nightingale proposes that we do not “work through” mourning: mourning is a perpetual way of being in the present.Cet article examine l’exposition photographique de Meera Margaret Singh dans l’espace liminal qu’est l’hôtel. En dialogue intertextuel avec l’œuvre de Wayne Koestenbaum, Hotel Theory, l’auteur examine les portraits intimes de la mère de la photographe, tout en les lisant en fonction de l’architecture de leur emplacement. L’hôtel Gladstone en tant que lieu d’exposition redouble donc l’accent que met la photographe sur les liens tendus des systèmes binaires apparents: la jeunesse et l’âge ; le public et le privé ; l’artiste et le modèle ; l’objet et le spectateur; vivre et mourir. Les activités quotidiennes de la vie en hôtel – l’arrivée, le départ, et le retour d’invités – deviennent des éléments inextricables de l’œuvre in situ. L’auteur théorise le concept de Freud sur l’avant-goût du deuil, explorant ce qui deviendra mais ne l’est pas encore : la mort de la mère. Cette exposition propose que nous ne « faisons » pas le deuil : le deuil est une façon perpétuelle d’exister au présent

Investigation of older people's needs at home to inspire inclusive home design with smart products and services
No full textAs the world population is ageing, many researchers have explored and contributed to improving older people's quality of life from diverse perspectives. The living room has been identified as one of the most frequently used spaces at home. It is multi-functional: used for reading, tea/coffee, TV and entertainment, meeting with friends, meals, and even sleeping. This project aims to investigate the experiences of older people with their living room at home to identify risks and challenges they face in their day-to-day life and indicate the reasons behind it. An 9-week ethnographic user study approach was employed to explore older people's natural behavior with multiple activities in their living room through video-based observation, in-depth interview, and cultural probes with 11 households. Qualitative content analysis was applied to analyze the collected data to identify key factors that have an impact on older people's living experience in their living room. Finally, all findings from this project help the author to develop design insights for improving living room space design, furniture and furniture arrangement, and atmospheres design to improve older people's standard of living in the UK
Quality assessment of observational studies in a drug-safety systematic review, Comparison of two tools: The Newcastle-Ottawa scale and the RTI item bank
No full textMethods: We tailored both tools and added four questions to the RTI-IB. Two reviewers assessed the quality of the 44 included studies with both tools, (independently for the RTI-IB) and agreed on which responses conveyed low, unclear, or high risk of bias. For each question in the RTI-IB (n=31), the observed interrater agreement was calculated as the percentage of studies given the same bias assessment by both reviewers; chance-adjusted interrater agreement was estimated with the first-order agreement coefficient (AC1) statistic.Background: The study objective was to compare the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) and the RTI item bank (RTI-IB) and estimate interrater agreement using the RTI-IB within a systematic review on the cardiovascular safety of glucose-lowering drugs.Results: The NOS required less tailoring and was easier to use than the RTI-IB, but the RTI-IB produced a more thorough assessment. The RTI-IB includes most of the domains measured in the NOS. Median observed interrater agreement for the RTI-IB was 75% (25th percentile [p25] =61%; p75 =89%); median AC1 statistic was 0.64 (p25 =0.51; p75 =0.86).Conclusion: The RTI-IB facilitates a more complete quality assessment than the NOS but is more burdensome. The observed agreement and AC1 statistic in this study were higher than those reported by the RTI-IB’s developers.</p

Previous issue date: 2017-12-15It is understood that mind wandering utilizes executive resources to some extent, but the underlying processes involved with the initiation and maintenance of mind wandering remains unclear. Here we used a new approach to estimate the time of focus and time of mind wandering separately in two different experiments. In experiment 1, we combined the self-caught and probe-caught methods to estimate the time of focus and time of mind wandering separately, and examined their relationship to working memory capacity. Here participants performed an OSPAN task and subsequently a basic Mindfulness Meditation Task (focus on breath), where participants indicated when they became aware that they were mind wandering (self-caught method and subsequently the probe-caught method). Results showed that time of focus but not time of mind wandering increased with greater working memory capacity, suggesting that individuals with higher working memory capacity were able to focus on the current task longer, but had little effect on the ability to catch themselves mind wandering after it occurred. In experiment 2, participants read both easy and difficult reading passages and the method of probing for mind wandering experiences were similar to experiment 1 (self-caught method and subsequently the probe-caught method). Here results showed longer time of focus in the easy readings compared to the hard readings, but no difference in time of mind wandering, suggesting that individuals were able to focus longer on the easy readings, but once mind wandering occurs, it will last a comparable amount of time regardless of reading difficulty. Taken together, these results indicate the importance of separating the initiation from the maintenance of mind wandering.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2019-12-01The student, Meera Zukosky, accepted the attached license on 2017-12-15 at 15:52.The student, Meera Zukosky, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-12-15 at 16:07.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-12-15 at 16:15.Embargo set by: Seth Robbins for item 105506

Malasian Journal of Library and Information Science: An analysis of Author Collaboration
No full textThis article presents the analysis of collaboration pattern for the articles published in the journal: Malasian Journal of Library and Information Science during the period 2011-2015. Several indicators of collaboration including authorship pattern, collaboration index, degree of collaboration, and collaboration coefficient has been studied. Average authors per paper, productivity per author, most prolific authors, single authored and multi-authored articles are investigated. During the period of study MJLIS has published 110 articles by 289 authors, out of which 18 single authored, 42 double authored, 33 triple authored, 9 four author, 3 five author and 5 more than 5 authored papers have been contributed. The average degree of collaboration is 0.83, average collaboration index is 2.67, average coefficient of collaboration is 0.51, and average modified collaboration coefficient is 0.53 during the five years 2011-2015. Bibliometrics (43 times) Information literacy(11), Library use (12), Information seeking (10)and Malaysia (8) anr the most used keywords. The most productive institutes are found to be University of Malaya, Malaysia (60),Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (17), Islamic Azad University, Iran (13)and Universiti Sains Malaysia (12).The top four most prolific authors are A Abrizah with 10 (3.39%) articles, A Zainab with 9 papers, N H Abdul Karim and S A Saani each with five papers. Average authors per paper (AAPP) during the five years are found to be 2.57,2.9, 2.63, 2.25, 2.80 . It was found that there are 38 inter-institute collaborations, 34 are intra institute collaborations and 25 international collaborations
