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.

普通高校保健体育课现状调查及对策分析

本文对西安市部分(20所)高蒋及学生(随机抽取陕西师大99级、2000绵学生437名及已经参加体育保健班的学生患者的12 5%,并且只有24 5%的参加者认为现行保健班参自己的康复有作用。开设保健班的高校仅占80%,并且教学上有欠规范,教学内容缺乏针对性,师资达不要求。结论:高校保健康复体育教学的改革势在必行。     

对近25年来中外体育概念研究的比较

本文对中外近25年体育概念的研究进行了回顾与比较,将中外体育概念研究分为3个阶段.在不同的研究阶段,先后确立了体育是教育的组成部分,体育是文化的组成部分,人的发展与社会需要在体育中具有高度的一致性,从中发现体育的内涵不断扩大,人,成为体育概念研究的主体.值得借鉴的是,国外在对体育概念进行研究时,非常注重历史继承性和批判性,界定研究范围,具体情况具体对待,同时注意玩、游戏、娱乐、体育、竞技、运动和工作等之间的相互关系.     

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.     

我国区域体育协调与共同发展的理论研究

区域体育协调与共同发展是我国既定的体育政策。通过查阅文献资料、专家访谈,结合对区域体育协调与共同发展理念的理解,阐述了区域体育的概念、特征、内涵、价值取向等理论问题;在分析了影响区域体育协调与共同发展的内外部因素的基础上,提出了区域体育协调与共同发展的社会机制与动力学基础;指出建立以区域体育评价和体育科研为先导的体育决策体制,是区域体育协调与共同发展的关键所在。     

北体大、日体大图书馆文献分类方法比较研究

中、日图书馆对馆藏文献的收集整理有较大的差异,其中最主要的不同在于采用了不同的图书分类体系.日本图书馆多数采用<日本十进分类法>(NDC),而中国图书馆多数采用<中国图书馆分类法>(中图法).由于这两部分类法在分类体系上各具特点,造成日、中两国图书馆在文献收集整理上存在的明显差异.本文从历史发展的角度讨论NDC与中图法的异同,以此揭示日本体育大学图书馆和北京体育大学图书馆在文献整理上的差异.
