Show moreThe article presents information on Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP). The majority of the twentieth century saw a marked growth in the number of libraries participating in FDLP. The FDLP was established by Congressional resolution on December 27, 1813. On December 1, 1814, the American Antiquarian Society of Worcester, Massachusetts received the first documents distributed to a non-governmental body and became the first depository library. The primary purpose of the program was preservation of the historical record, not dissemination. Staff and funding issues and the availability of resources via the Internet points to the weight that libraries may be placing on the ability to provide information via the Internet on their decisions to remain in or to leave the FDLP. In today's work environment, in which increased productivity is expected and doing more with less is essential, the Internet can be an obvious alternative to physical collections, which require space and greater staff time and resources. In the last decade, the essential association between the ability to provide access to government information and participation in the FDLP has broken down.

Description: Objective...
Show moreObjective Impact of a peer navigator program (PNP) develop by a community based participatory research team was examined on African Americans with serious mental illness who were homeless. Methods Research participants were randomized to PNP or a treatment-as-usual control group for one year. Data on physical and mental health, recovery, and quality of life were collected at baseline, 4, 8 and 12 months. Results Findings from group by trial ANOVAs of omnibus measures of the four constructs showed significant impact over the one year for participants in PNP compared to control described by small to moderate effect sizes. These differences emerged even though both groups showed significant improvements in reduced homelessness and insurance coverage. Conclusions Implications for improving in-the-field health care for this population are discussed. Whether these results occurred because navigators were peers per se needs to be examined in future research.

Title: Three agendas for changing the public stigma of mental illness.
Creator: Corrigan, Patrick
Date: 2018, 2017
Publisher: American Psychological Association
Description: OBJECTIVE:...
Show moreOBJECTIVE: Antistigma programs may be guided by 3 differing agendas: services (promote treatment engagement), rights (help people achieve rightful goals), and self-worth (facilitate self-worth and efficacy). This study examined the construct validity of this perspective by examining the factor structure of importance ratings of the 3 agendas. The study examined how importance might be viewed differently by the population as a whole versus a subsample of people who reported previous experience with mental health services and hence could be directly harmed by stigma. METHODS: 373 individuals recruited using Mechanical Turk completed importance ratings for each of the 3 agendas. Measures of public stigma were completed to examine concurrent validity of importance ratings. Those who reported taking medications for a psychiatric disorder were divided into a separate group and completed a measure of self-stigma. RESULTS: Outcomes seemed to confirm the factor structure of the 3 agendas model thereby offering partial support for the framework. Group analyses showed the services agenda was viewed as more important than rights or self-worth. People with mental health experience viewed the services agenda as more important than the other 2. However, dividing the mental health group into low and high self-stigma revealed that those with low self-stigma rated the rights agenda as more important. Conclusions and Implication for Practice: Participants with lower self-stigma identify the harm brought by stigma and thus endorse rights and self-worth more than those with higher self-stigma. Implications of these findings are discussed to assist to prioritize agendas for public health campaigns.

Show moreBackground: Transdiagnostic emotional vulnerabilities are suspected to underlie psychopathologic comorbidity but have received little attention in adolescent emotional pathology literature. We examined distress tolerance, anxiety sensitivity, and anhedonia as concomitant transdiagnostic mechanisms that account for (i.e., statistically mediate) the covariance between adolescent obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) symptoms. Method: Data on MDD, OCD, and the three aforementioned transdiagnostic vulnerabilities were collected from a community-based sample of 3,094 9th graders in a large metropolitan area and analyzed using mixed effects modeling to evaluate mediation effects. Results: Individually and when controlling for each other, all three transdiagnostic vulnerabilities mediated the relation between OCD and MDD symptoms both before and after adjusting for demographics. Conclusions: Distress tolerance, anxiety sensitivity, and anhedonia may be unique mechanisms accounting for comorbidity between OCD and MDD symptoms in youth. Longitudinal evaluation of these candidate transdiagnostic emotional vulnerabilities in adolescent OCD-MDD comorbidity is warranted.

Show moreSince 1991, the National Science Foundation has made three large grants to the Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions at the Illinois Institute of Technology to offer workshops to help faculty integrate ethics into technical courses across the curriculum. We called what we were doing "ethics across the curriculum". This paper seeks to to explain what ethics across the curriculum represents, and what it does not represent. Namely, it is not morality across the curriculum, moral theory across the curriculum, social ethics across the curriculum, or professional ethics across the curriculum.

Show moreThe author discusses why he believes that Hurricane Katrina, which is certainly the biggest engineering disaster in the history of the United States, is not a good case for teaching engineering ethics. This is for three major reasons. First, there is the question of what happened. Second, there is the question of what part engineers had in what happened, which decisions were theirs and which belonged to elected or appointed officials who were not engineers. Third, there is the question of what part engineering ethics had, or should have had, in the decisions engineered did make. We lack any dramatic moment such as the Challenger Disaster provided, a moment when ethics mattered in a way that is both precise and interesting.

Title: Examining Partnership-Health Associations Among Lesbian Women and Gay Men Using Population-Level Data
Creator: Du Bois, Steve N., Legate, Nicole, Kendall, Ashley D.
Date: 2019
Description: Abstract...
Show moreAbstract Purpose: The aim was to provide the first broad assessment of partnership-health associations across partnership statuses among sexual minority individuals. Methods: Using population-level data from the 2016 U.S. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, specifically the 26 states/territories that assessed sexual orientation and gender identity, we ran analyses of covariance and logistic regressions to compare lesbian and gay individuals (N = 2963) of different partnership statuses in general health, physical health and health conditions, mental health, health behaviors, and healthcare access/utilization domains. Results: All omnibus and logistic regression models were significant (p < 0.001). Follow-up pairwise comparisons of mean differences across partnership groups revealed that in at least one variable in the general health, mental health, health behaviors, and healthcare access/utilization domains, married lesbian and gay individuals reported the best health, followed by partnered, single, and then divorced, separated, and widowed lesbian and gay individuals (p < 0.001). Exceptions included variables in the physical health and health conditions domain, the health behaviors of smoking and heavy drinking, and ever having an HIV test. When stratifying by sex, for both gay men and lesbian women being married or partnered related to the best health in at least one variable in each health domain, and in the majority of all outcome variables. Conclusion: This article provides the first evidence for partnership-health associations among gay and lesbian individuals based on a large-scale, multi-domain test of population-level data. Future research could examine temporal links between same-sex marriage legislation and health outcomes among sexual minority individuals.

Show moreOrganizations are organically grown, and it can be very satisfying to see them thrive under the right conditions and treatment just like their botanical equivalents. But, at some stage, if you're not cautious, they can uncontrollably sprout and spread out until one day they've begun strangling themselves and even others. Organizations are strangling by not responding to development. As new people enter, procedures that worked perfectly in the beginning with only one participant often get unsuccessful, sometimes painful. It's easy to spot the signs of stressful processes; increased stress, constant yet insufficient coordination, low levels of effort and resources, bottlenecks, e-mail congestion, repeated progress updates, expired tabs, dysfunctional rules, low productivity the list continues. With Business Improvement it becomes very critical on how we plan & what are the facts which we have derived from the initial analysis. In this article, we will try to cover different tools that can be used for analyzing & planning.

Show moreA flowchart or Process Flow is a powerful business tool. With proper design and construction, it communicates the steps in a process very effectively and efficiently. There are a variety of ways to make a flowchart. Initially, flowcharts were made by hand using a pencil and paper. Until the advent of a personal computer, drawing models made of plastic flowchart form outlines helped flowchart designers work faster and gave their diagrams a more detailed look. Flowcharts were initially used by industrial engineers to organize work processes such as assembly line output. Today, flowcharts are used for several purposes in manufacturing, architecture, engineering, industry, technology, education, research, medicine, government, administration, and many other fields. In this article, we will be looking at different types of Flowchart & their usages
