New Information

The "Red Book," as the Report of the Committee on Infectious Diseases has come to be known, is not a static document, but is subject to frequent revision. Not only does each edition contain new information available to the Committee, but between editions the Committee communicates further changes to the medical profession via Pediatrics. These communications constitute "Updates" to the Red Book. As everyone knows, scientific information proliferates exponentially, and so the Updates have appeared more frequently in recent years. The Update that follows concerns pertussis vaccine, and therefore, it supplements information in the 1982 edition of the Red Book. To place it in context, the entire Red Book section on Pertussis (pp 198 to 202) should be reviewed, as well as the general sections on immunization, particularly the section on Informed Consent (p 4) and the section on Vaccine Dose (p 10). Like many preventable childhood diseases, pertussis is now infrequently reported in this country. Although more than 200,000 cases were reported annually in the 1930s before pertussis vaccine was introduced, only about 2,000 cases are now recognized each year. The success of the vaccine has resulted in the remarkable decline of a formerly feared illness. As the incidence of the disease has declined, adverse reactions attributed to pertussis vaccine have received greater attention and prominence. In the United Kingdom, following Professor G. T. Stewart's alarming reports of brain damage due to pertussis vaccine, immunization rates fell profoundly, and as a result widespread outbreaks of pertussis began to occur.

The One

The continuing "explosion" of scientific information and the arborization of medical specialties have caused physicians to invent names and catch phrases to define their new activities. Regrettably, much of this latter-day vocabulary is unmusical and clumsy. Some examples represent a downright assault on the English Ianguage. It is alarming that a profession whose members demand such precision in their work would tolerate such slapdash semantic shenanigans. One has winced at such utterances as "examination of the chest showed no pathology;" one has cringed when otherwise esteemed colleagues have indulged in such semantic horrors as "coagulogram" and "febrile agglutinins;" but, in years to come the one atrocity whose promulgation may be remembered with particular mal de mer by the older pediatricians will be the term "ambulatory pediatrics."

scholarly journals The framing of scientific domains: about UNISIST, domain analysis and art history

Over Time

Purpose – By using the UNISIST models this paper argues for the necessity of domain analysis in order to qualify scientific information seeking. The models allow better understanding of communication processes in a scientific domain and they embrace the point that domains are always both unstable over time, and changeable, according to the specific perspective. This understanding is even more important today as numerous digitally generated information tools as well as collaborative and interdisciplinary research are blurring the domain borders. Nevertheless, researchers navigate “intuitively” in “their” specific domains, and UNISIST helps understanding this navigation. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The UNISIST models are tentatively applied to the domain of art history at three stages, respectively two modern, partially overlapping domains, as well as an outline of an art historical domain anno c1820. The juxtapositions are discussed against the backdrop of, among others, poststructuralist concepts such as “power” and “anti-essentialism” Findings – The juxtapositions affirm the point already surfacing in the different versions of the UNISIST model, that is, structures of communication change over time as well as according to the agents that are charting them. As such, power in a Foucauldian sense is unavoidable in outlining a domain. Originality/value – The UNISIST models are applied to the domain of art history and the article discusses the instability of a scientific domain as well as, at the same time, the significance of framing a domain; an implication which is often neglected in scientific information seeking.

The Universe

A large majority of the physics and astronomy communities are now sure that gravitational waves exist, can be looked for, and can be studied via their effects on laboratory apparatus as well as on astronomical objects. So far, everything found out has agreed with the predictions of general relativity, but hopes are high for new information about the universe and its contents and perhaps for hints of a better theory of gravity than general relativity (which even Einstein expected to come eventually). This is one version of the story, from 1905 to the present, told from an unusual point of view, because the author was, for 28.5 years, married to Joseph Weber, who built the first detectors starting in the early 1960s and operated one or more until his death on 30 September 2000.

The Impact

Conducting community services is about building rapport, relationship, and linkages to the community.  Since service is one of the core values of EAC-Cavite, it is very significant that the neighboring community shall benefit from the community outreach programs conducted by its various schools or departments.   This study focuses on the evaluation of the outreach programs of EAC-Cavite in Bgry. San Agustin, Dasmarinas, Cavite. It uses the qualitative-descriptive method of research utilizing the survey questionnaire, observation, and impact evaluation approach.  The results of the study revealed that 48% of the respondents were very satisfied, 33% were satisfied, and 6% were somewhat satisfied in the programs.  On the other hand, there were also some problems encountered by the proponents during the actual conduct of these programs, thus, these inspired the researchers to come up with a 5-year development plan to improve the services and its program of activities. It is therefore recommended to continue to move on and reach out for the sustainable development of the community focusing more on the areas of education, health, environment, and socio-economic development. Finally, every program should be evaluated immediately to find out its strengths and weaknesses and to address all the problems encountered before, during, and after the activity using the impact evaluation approach.

The Common

Since its maturity four or five years ago, portal has become the common practice in organizations. A portal strategy is a way in which a Web site is customized that provides people easy access to most of the information, tools and applications they need to use—all with a single sign-on. Portal has been growing rapidly within organizations. META Group’s Worldwide IT Benchmark Report 2004 confirms this trend, showing that 46% of their respondents spent more on portals in 2003 than they did in 2002 (36% spent the same, 18% spent less) (cited in Roth, 2004).

Biology and Evolution of Crocodylians is a comprehensive review of current knowledge about the world's largest and most famous living reptiles. Gordon Grigg's authoritative and accessible text and David Kirshner's stunning interpretive artwork and colour photographs combine expertly in this contemporary celebration of crocodiles, alligators, caimans and gharials. This book showcases the skills and capabilities that allow crocodylians to live how and where they do. It covers the biology and ecology of the extant species, conservation issues, crocodylian–human interaction and the evolutionary history of the group, and includes a vast amount of new information; 25 per cent of 1100 cited publications have appeared since 2007. Richly illustrated with more than 500 colour photographs and black and white illustrations, this book will be a benchmark reference work for crocodylian biologists, herpetologists and vertebrate biologists for years to come. Winner of the 2015 Whitley Medal.
