This paper explores the shared experiences of practices of blended librarianship among Zimbabwean academic librarians to identify how adequately they comply with their dynamic roles and functions. The paper relies on the theoretical constructs from Bell and Shank's (2004, 2007) blended librarianship and Lave and Wenger's (1991) Legitimate Peripheral Participation (LPP) to understand how Zimbabwean academic librarians practice blended librarianship in the workplace through engagement in legitimate work tasks. The investigators used phenomenology to explore academic librarians' experiences of blended librarianship. They selected a sample of 101 academic librarians and delivered a semi-structured questionnaire to the sample, conducted document research and interviewed key informants from the sample. The researchers collected data from the Bindura University of Science Education, Chinhoyi University of Technology, Lupane State University, Midlands State University, the National University of Science and Technology, and PHSBL80 Library which chose to be undisclosed. Each institution adopted blended librarianship in its way. Four (4) different categories of blended librarianship emerged from the experiences; that is “transcending blended librarians”, “partially blended librarians”, “intermittent blended librarians” and “aspiring blended librarians”, displaying each institution's level of instructional technology and instructional design roles. The study proposes that the “Academic librarian's transition to blended librarianship” two-by-two matrix that developed was in this inquiry needs further refinement. Further enquiries may test the matrix within the same sites or other locales altogether to corroborate if the results are replicable. 相似文献

It is now widely acknowledged that water management discipline is transforming, from being a public health and flood prevention challenge of the nineteenth century to a multi-dimensional challenge of water security for the twenty-first century. In order to train water engineers to be capable of working with this holistic multi-dimensional approach, a new paradigm in engineering education is required. Adjustments already made to undergraduate coursework are not enough; this new paradigm requires modifications to the PhD in engineering, with greater emphasis on interdisciplinary case study research. Such a change can deliver PhD graduates with both sufficient social and technical knowledge, who can then go on to become the hybrid lecturers crucially needed for training future water engineers. 相似文献

Vitamin B12 deficiency has been reported in patients with Autoimmune thyroid disorders. However there is limited data on exact prevalence of low B12 and its correlation with anti-thyroperoxidase antibody (anti-TPO) levels in these patients. The aim of our study was to estimate serum vitamin B12 levels in autoimmune thyroid disorders and to correlate B12 levels with anti-TPO. 350 patients were selected by convenient sampling. Vitamin B12 levels and thyroid parameters were estimated using fully automated chemiluminescence method on Access 2. Results of our study shows that using the manufacturer’s cut-off of 145 pg/mL, the prevalence of low serum vitamin B12 was found to be 45.50 %. Higher prevalence (55 %) was seen based on the published cut-off of 200 pg/mL The study however did not demonstrate any significant correlation between vitamin B12 levels and anti-TPO (r = −0.11 and p value of 0.30).

The increasing popularity of service learning has led to the implementation of the pedagogy across educational levels and disciplines. Evidence of its utilization in criminal justice education spans two decades, most of which include case studies of service-learning courses or projects. These examples of service-learning implementation seem to serve as a best practices guide for other faculty and researchers interested in adopting the pedagogy. By examining responses to offender populations and policy areas by students (n = 37) involved in a service-learning course, the current research adds to this “best practices” approach and is intended to instigate further examination of the benefits of service learning for criminal justice students and the discipline. 相似文献

Robert Koch was a German physician and scientist who I made wide-ranging contributions to the study of infectious diseases.
He is credited with developing medical microbiology as a new and independent discipline. He is most j renowned for deciphering
the etiology of tuberculosis (TB), anthrax and cholera. He laid down rigorous guidelines for establishing the link between
a pathogen and a particular disease that came to be known as Koch’s postulates. To this day these postulates serve as benchmarks
in the study of infectious diseases. 相似文献

The present study aims to assess and compare the biochemical oxidative stress markers in male smokers and non-smokers with chronic periodontitis. One hundred thirty-four male chronic periodontitis patients and 64 apparently healthy male volunteers were recruited for the study. The periodontal status was evaluated by measuring gingival index, plaque index, papillary bleeding index and clinical attachment loss using UNC-15 probe. The biochemical markers estimated were total antioxidant capacity, RBC-superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, vitamin C, malondialdehyde and C-reactive protein. The obtained results indicate higher oxidative stress in chronic periodontitis. Smokers with chronic periodontitis show significantly higher periodontal clinical parameters and relatively higher systemic oxidative stress. Vitamin C estimation may be an important biochemical parameter in conjunction with clinical parameters for diagnosis of chronic periodontitis in smokers. 相似文献

Where do infants go? A longstanding assumption is that infants primarily crawl or walk to reach destinations viewed while stationary. However, many bouts of spontaneous locomotion do not end at new people, places, or things. Study 1 showed that half of 10- and 13-month-old crawlers’ (N = 29) bouts end at destinations—more than previously found with walkers. Study 2 confirmed that, although infants do not commonly go to destinations, 12-month-old crawlers go to proportionally more destinations than age-matched walkers (N = 16). Head-mounted eye tracking revealed that crawlers and walkers mostly take steps in place while fixating something within reach. When infants do go to a destination, they take straight, short paths to a target fixated while stationary. 相似文献

The current study sought input from a national sample of social work (SW) and criminal justice (CJ) educators (N = 276) to explore characteristics of those who use service learning in the two disciplines, differences in the conceptions of and beliefs about service learning, and distinctions in how it is used and implemented. This study offers the first explicitly cross-disciplinary comparison of service learning within two related, but distinct disciplines. The results indicated that SW educators, compared to their CJ peers, used service learning more frequently and perceived fewer barriers to using it. Additionally, a higher percentage of SW faculty members reported using service learning at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, suggesting that SW educators may be more likely to see the value of service learning across education levels. Among those who reported that they have used service learning, few differences were found between the two disciplines. 相似文献

The effect of administration of N-acetylcysteine on ethanol and paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity was studied both biochemically
and histopathologically in experimental rats. The liver samples taken after twentyfour hours from the paracetamol administered
normal and alcoholic animals showed high degree of necrosis and related pathological changes. In the N-acetylcysteine treated
alcoholic rats and in the N-acetylcysteine pretreated paracetamol administered rats, the liver cells showed very little change
and appeared almost normal as evidenced by the histopathological studies. The activities of serum transaminases and phosphatases
were also high both in the alcohol treated and in the paracetamol administered animals. N-acetylcysteine treated animals partly
restored the serum transaminase and phosphatase activities, and the activities of the antiperoxidative enzymes. There was
also significant change in the serum and tissue lipid levels, and in the concentration of the tissue lipid peroxidation product-malondialdehyde
in both the alcohol treated and in the paracetamol administered groups. N-acetylcysteine treatment brought the serum and tissue
lipid levels, and the tissue malondialdehyde content towards normal. 相似文献

This retrospective study was conducted to assess the serum lipase / amylase ratio in acute pancreatitis for South Indian population attending the clinics of Gastroenterology and Emergency medicine in the last five years. One thousand one hundred and thirty two patients (768 males and 364 females) with acute pancreatitis (AP) were selected for the study. The diagnosis of AP was based on clinical evaluation, Computed Tomography (CT) findings and biochemical parameters such as serum lipase and amylase. Based on the etiology, the groups were divided into alcoholic, biliary and miscellaneous AP. Based on CT findings, groups were divided into mild, moderate and severe AP. Serum lipase, amylase and lipase / amylase ratio were calculated and statistically analyzed. Serum lipase levels in alcoholic group (3226.3 ± 1384.7) were significantly lower in comparison to biliary (6064.5 ± 1640.8) group though the levels were not significantly different from miscellaneous group (2132.3 ± 1210). Serum amylase values were significantly lower in alcoholic group (923.4 ± 557.5) in comparison to biliary (1736.2 ± 390.7) and there was significant difference between alcoholic and miscellaneous group (535.8 ± 477.6). The serum lipase / amylase ratio > 4 occurred in alcoholic group than with biliary and miscellaneous group. The sensitivity and specificity to predict alcoholic AP with lipase / amylase ratio at >4.0 was 84 % and 59 % respectively. In conclusion the serum lipase to amylase ratio greater than 3.0 could be used to differentiate but keeping the cut off at 4.0 would be of higher sensitivity without much change in specificity. The serum lipase to amylase ratio with a cut off of 3.0 or greater is not useful to differentiate the severe AP from milder AP. Hence, serum amylase and lipase are important for evaluation of pancreatitis though it is not a gold standard for the diagnosis or assessment of severity of acute pancreatitis. 相似文献
