Environmental scans provide researchers with an assessment of the landscape around an issue of interest. In this process relevant information is systematically amassed to identify current status, scopes or opportunities, and risks. This paper aims to serve as a basic and surface level guide to understanding and planning for conducting an environmental scan. The intended audience includes students and researchers new to the use of environmental scans. Before discussion of all the steps, some examples of the use of environmental scans in health research is provided. The process of conducting an environmental scan is outlined in five steps that revolve around purpose, people, questions, information gathering and presenting. The paper concludes with a discussion on advantages and challenges of conducting environmental scans.

Evening Star

In this essay, Lorraine Janzen Kooistra explores the career of an important yet neglected artist whose work in the illustrated press deserves more concentrated attention. From 1885 to 1895, Clemence Housman (1861–1955) worked as an engraver for the Graphic (1869–1932), but by the mid-1890s there was little work in the trade since most papers were converting to systems of photomechanical reproduction. She then transitioned to fine-art wood engraving in the book trade, producing several exquisite titles in collaboration with her brother Laurence Housman, including The Were-Wolf (1896). She continued working the field until the 1920s, eventually producing her masterpiece, an engraving of James Guthrie’s ‘Evening Star.’ The trajectory of her career not only demonstrates how new reproductive technologies altered women’s work in the periodical press over the course of the nineteenth century but also reminds us of the thousands of other women who contributed to this industry but have been largely overlooked in press history. Indeed, as Janzen Kooistra’s essay makes clear, women were not just the subject matter or intended audience for periodical advertisements and illustrations; they were actively engaged in the production of the images that proliferated throughout the Victorian illustrated press.

High Standards

This third volume of the Progress in Pediatric Surgery keeps up the high standards set by the previous editions. Each of these volumes in the series is of particular interest to pediatric surgeons since the subject matter deals with significant advances in areas of clinical or laboratory research in selected pediatric surgical topics. Most of these are covered by comprehensive reports of laboratory investigations or clinical trials which have evolved over a period of time and the reader is brought to the current status of the problem.

The Creation

Background: By focusing on a community’s strengths instead of its’ weaknesses, the process of asset mapping provides researchers a new way to assess community health. This process is also a useful tool for assessing health-related needs, disparities, and inequities within the communities. This paper aims to serve as a basic and surface level guide to understanding and planning for creating an asset map. Methods: A step-by-step guideline is provided in this paper as an introduction to those interested in creating an asset map using organizational outlines and previous application in research projects. Results: To help readers better grasp asset maps, a few examples are first provided that show the application of asset maps in health research, community engagement, and community partnerships. This is followed by elaboration of the six steps involved in the creation of an asset map. Conclusion: This paper introduces researchers to the steps required to create an asset map, with examples from published literature. The intended audience includes students and researchers new to the creation of asset maps.

Farmers are jobs that are done by planting crops and then harvesting crops for sale or consumption. Farmers must know the plants to be planted to get good harvests. Smart Farmer application is made to be a medium of help for young Farmers who do not have sufficient knowledge in conducting farming activities. The Smart Farmer application is created by presenting relevant information such as cultivation techniques, diseases, pests, and benefits related to rice plants. Rice plants were chosen as the subject matter because rice is the primary food choice needed by humans in Indonesia, and at this time farmers have also decreased in number.

The Moment

This article provides helpful information to researchers, students, and authors who wish to find and cite in-press articles in the Journal of Management ( JOM). Any manuscript that has survived the review process innately possesses relevant information, and having access to these articles in their final form the moment they are ready for publication holds obvious benefits. Reading in-press articles helps researchers keep abreast of current findings and the latest advances in the field. Citing in-press articles encourages the advancement of research and demonstrates up-to-date knowledge of the subject matter. In addition, these most current documents are essential when evaluating the potential contribution of a given article. Although the review process helps to determine whether or not submitted articles provide meaningful contributions, evaluating new concepts in the context of research that has already been accepted for publication assures that each new submission significantly advances the field.

I was Sitting in a Room: Cybernetic Aesthetics and Victor Burgin's Projection Loops The chapter examines the loops that structure Victor Burgin's projection pieces in relation to works by US composer Alvin Lucier to suggest that a form of cybernetic and post-digital aesthetics is operative in each, resulting in similar ethical and political agendas regarding agency, space and attentiveness. Burgin's discussion of his digitally-modified panoramas addresses the 'zero degree' of perspective that he crafts in them, suggesting that technological systems of information-gathering and perception simultaneously provide the conditions for a perceiving and understanding subject while removing the subject from the picture through the performance of its subject matter: 'the disembodied point of view'. The desire of the zero degree renders an aesthetics and politics that speak neatly to cybernetic formulations. The chapter argues that the seemingly anti-humanist qualities of cybernetic aesthetics and Burgin's decidedly humanist aesthetic steer actually lead to the same ethical and political agenda regarding agency, space and attentiveness.

The Subject

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

An outline has been presented in historical fashion of the steps devised to organize the central core of medical information allowing the subject matter, the patient, to define the nature and the progression of the diseases from which he suffers, with and without therapy; and approaches have been made to organize this information in such fashion as to align the definitions in orderly fashion to teach both diagnostic strategy and the content of the diseases by programmed instruction.
