Meeting Information Needs through Global Partnerships: A Roadmap to Becoming a Global Health Sciences Library

Abstract

Supporting global health priorities through the development of robust health science librarianship partnerships is of significant importance. Increased demand for synthesizing evidence-based information, collating quality resources, and increasing research productivity to improve human health requires integration of library and information science skills and expertise. The Health Sciences Library (HSL) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC), exists to be an indispensable partner in health information and knowledge, teaching and learning, and research. As global efforts at UNC expanded, the HSL sought to ensure that our global engagement strategy and integration were aligned with campus priorities and partner needs. The HSL created a global research partnership plan: identify resources that improve efficiency, increase access to information, build in-country capacity and expertise—all while strengthening collaborations across multiple countries. Creating a meaningful and sustainable engagement strategy was central to envisioning our path forward and can be used as a framework for consideration by librarians in similar settings.     

The Influence of Hygroscopic Materials on the Fluctuation of Relative Humidity in Museums Located in Historical Buildings

ABSTRACT

The preservation of artefacts in museum collections is profoundly affected by fluctuations in temperature and, especially, relative humidity (RH). Since the late nineteenth century, many studies have been carried out on the best way to control hygrothermal conditions. In old buildings located in maritime temperate climate zones (such as Portugal) with strong thermal inertia, and which have low ventilation rate (relative to the volume and number of visitors), daily and seasonal hygroscopic inertia may help to assure the maintenance of RH stabilization conditions. The use of expensive active systems may be minimized through the passive behaviour of internal finishing building materials. This work presents the results of an experimental laboratory study conducted in a flow chamber to demonstrate the enormous potential of hygroscopic materials in stabilizing interior relative humidity. Based in these results and in-situ monitoring in a museum housed in a building, located in Porto, with a typical construction of the 1950s (granite masonry and reinforced concrete slabs), a numerical analysis was done to quantify the influence of hygroscopic materials in stabilizing the interior relative humidity.     

实践教学环节的质量评价体系平台的研究

高职高专院校实践教学环节是高职高专教学中的一个非常重要的组成部分 ,它直接关系到能否实现高职高专教育人才培养目标。目前大多数高职高专院校对实践教学环节开始重视 ,但对实践教学环节质量的考核、评价还停留在原来的评价手段和方法上。本文是立足高职高专教育的人才培养目标 ,构建高职高专实践教学环节的质量评价的新平台。通过质量评价体系评价 ,客观、公正、科学、合理的评价学生的实践技能 ,同时改变那些不符合要求的实践技能培养模式     

太极拳对老年人心肺机能的影响

通过系统观察、测试部分长年参加太极拳练习者和无训练者在完成定量负荷运动前后心肺功能指标变化,发现长期进行太板拳练习的老年人心脏泵血功能、心肌收缩机能、肺活量均显著优于普通人,表明长年从事太极拳运动对促进老年人心肺功能的改善具有积极作用,为老年人参加太极拳运动提供了可靠的实验依据.     

高校体育教育专业实践课的英文教学

在华南师范大学体育教育专业团体操选修课的实践课中实施英文教学，两轮英文教学实验不仅没有影响专业课的教学质量，还有助于提高学生学习英语的积极性和教师应用英语进行专业课教学的能力。     

解读体育课程的生活回归

体育课程回归学生的生活世界是体育新课程改革的一个重要理念，建构主义理论和新的体育课程价值观是这一理念的理论基础。要实现体育的生活回归，必须在体育课程目标的确定，课程内容的选择以及课程教学的实施等方面，关注学生的生活经验和学习过程中的生活体验以及学生的可能生活，拓展课程的教学时空和教育价值。     

科技期刊实用价值与审美价值的思考

对中国美学发展之途的一种思考

束缚中国美学实质性的发展的根本性局限在于从认识论框架出发,固守主客两分的二元对立思维模式。1990年代关于《巴黎手稿》尤其是"美的规律"的重新讨论,集中体现了以上思维模式对于美学研究的局限。而1990年代关于"实践美学"的争论,既提出了一些对中国美学发展具有重要意义的建设性意见,又存在对实践美学的某些误解,有些论点本身也存在争议。美学发展的突破途径在于走出主客二元对立的认识论思维方式。我们认为,蒋孔阳先生以实践论为哲学基础、以创造论为核心的审美关系说为此提供了有价值的思路。
