Being Prepared for a Medical Emergency

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.Leisure activities, recreation, exercise, sport and sporting events are a part of life in society today. In a public school setting, it is the responsibility of the school/facility administrator to ensure safety for the participants and spectators or audience. Safe facilities, playing surfaces and equipment are a foundation for providing safety. Also, the administrator should be proactive in having a written emergency action plan for foreseeable situations, specifically, a medical emergency. Having a predetermined plan of action is imperative for the hosting school/facility. Some important aspects for an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) should include all personnel that will be part of the plan, scheduled mock practice sessions, availability of equipment, current certifications, etc. After implementing these aspects it is imperative that all individuals involved understand and know the details of the EAP in order for it to be effective and successful.隨著生活文化的轉變，康體活動已經成為了人們生活的重要部份。可是，當進行這些活動時一旦出現了意外事故，應該如何去處理較為恰當呢？本文試從緊急應變醫療角度分享經驗，給予有系統及效能的建議，以供參考。

Sport Events

All sport events have inherent injury and illness risks for participants. Healthcare services for sport events should be planned and delivered to mitigate these risks which is the ethical responsibility of all sport event organisers. The objective of this paper was to develop consensus-driven guidelines describing the basic standards of services necessary to protect athlete health and safety during large sporting events. By using the Knowledge Translation Scheme Framework, a gap in International Federation healthcare programming for sport events was identified. Event healthcare content areas were determined through a narrative review of the scientific literature. Content experts were systematically identified. Following a literature search, an iterative consensus process was undertaken. The outcome document was written by the knowledge translation expert writing group, with the assistance of a focus group consisting of a cohort of International Federation Medical Chairpersons. Athletes were recruited to review and provide comment. The Healthcare Guidelines for International Federation Events document was developed including content-related to (i) pre-event planning (eg, sport medical risk assessment, public health requirements, environmental considerations), (ii) event safety (eg, venue medical services, emergency action plan, emergency transport, safety and security) and (iii) additional considerations (eg, event health research, spectator medical services). We developed a generic standardised template guide to facilitate the planning and delivery of medical services at international sport events. The organisers of medical services should adapt, evaluate and modify this guide to meet the sport-specific local context.

The Maker Movement

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation of a mobile makerspace program in a public school setting. Insights, challenges, successes, projects as well as recommendations will be shared. Design/methodology/approach – This paper describes a mobile makerspace program in a public high school in Virginia. It discusses the growth of mobile making, the advantages and disadvantages of mobility, and how the program was implemented. Findings – Mobile makerspaces are a fast-growing manifestation of maker culture. It is possible to have a makerspace in a public school and take the maker culture to other schools in the area. Having a steady supply of students or library interns that are willing to travel to other schools is critical. Originality/value – Makerspaces in libraries is still a relatively new phenomenon. While the research is coming on stationary makerspaces, mobile making is a new horizon for the maker movement. This paper seeks to provide a description of one such program.

Using Data

Abstract We examine how funding for public school facilities varies with school district property wealth and household income. Using data on school facility (i.e., capital) funding in California from fiscal years 1986-87 to 2015-16, we find that funding for school construction and modernization varies widely across districts. Disparities in funding are driven primarily by inter-district differences in property wealth with the highest property wealth districts raising significantly more funding for school facilities. Assessed value per-pupil in California is also negatively correlated with the share of disadvantaged students and students of color. As a result, school facility funding tends to be substantially lower in districts with the highest concentrations of disadvantaged students and students of color.
