The Relationship

Anecdotal evidence exists at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) to suggest that branches bearing plant labels are more prone to die-back than those without labels. During 2010–2011 a preliminary study was undertaken in order to assess the accuracy of this hypothesis and to investigate the possible causes and viable alternatives. The study focused on whether there were patterns of damage with respect to label material and wire, plant species or the location of plantings. The study involved a survey of the Living Collection in the four RBGE Gardens, a web-based questionnaire sent out to Botanic Gardens Conservation International member gardens and analysis of branch material and labelling wire. This report provides the information obtained when the hypothesis was investigated and makes recommendations. An extended version, along with the data gathered, is available in the Library at RBGE (Bradley, 2011).

To investigate what school counselors read for professional information seeking and how they engage with research, we surveyed practicing school counselors about their behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs toward engaging with school counseling-related information resources. The findings highlight gaps between the usage of newer web-based resources and traditional research and identified potential incongruence between school counselors’ beliefs about engaging with research and their actual behaviors. We provide implications for school counselor training and professional development.

This study aims to understand the effect of evident sales promotion on the number of likes on Instagram. Due to the rising use of social media to communicate with the market and the promotion of products to guests, few academic investigations have been made in this area. Most technology research in the hospitality industry has focused on technology in service and production areas of operations or the use of web-based marketing for tourism operations and travel agents. The two most effective sales offer patterns were used in a 2×2 experiment, with the intention of finding out if a large amount of likes on Instagram influences the purchase intention of the product offered. Four randomized questionnaires were distributed among 4 university groups, obtaining 923 respondents. To validate the hypotheses the study proceeded with the descriptive technique and analysis of variances (ANOVA).

This research analyses the existence of hijabophobia in relation to Muslim friendly hospitality services in Malaysia. By looking into the current practices of hospitality industry (specifically by looking into customer services of hotels) in Malaysia, this research investigates: (i) what is meant by hijabophobia? (ii) nature of hijabophobia under the purview of Malaysian laws; (iii) the impacts of hijabophobia in the employment and customer services; and (iv) the countermeasures to eliminate hijabophobia in the hospitality industry in Malaysia. This exploratory research utilises the doctrinal legal methods and the collected real experiences that are obtained through qualitative interviews. Based on the researchers’ preliminary investigation, there is existence of hijabophobia in the customer services of hotels and their employment in Malaysia. Such existence of hijabophobia is promoted through the hotels’ policies; and sometimes under unwritten but well acceptable standard of operations and practices. Unfortunately, since this research is carried out only based on preliminary findings, the researchers are unable to provide the frequency of occurrences for the hijabophobic practices in their customer services or employments. Here, the researchers suggest for an in-depth investigation on the policies and standard of operation or practices of each and every hotel in Malaysia. This is also necessary to evaluate the extent of Muslim friendly hospitality services are applied in these hotels.

This study adopted a participatory action research (PAR) approach to identify and address some cultural factors that contribute in hindering faculty adoption and use of a Learning Management System (LMS) for Web-based learning at a university in Ghana. This followed a realization that an LMS that the university deployed for E-learning purposes, and had been available for over five years, remained largely unused by faculty members despite that they have been trained, motivated and appropriately resourced to do so. With a preliminary investigation revealing the possible role of cultural factors, this study drew on some aspects of Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory to conceptualize a research framework, and subsequently engaged 10 faculty members in a semester-long action study. Findings show that by collectively identifying the cultural underpinnings, and conscientiously working on them, faculty members can change their attitudes (as well as those of their other colleagues) significantly, and be better disposed to integrating Web technologies into their instructional activities.

AbstractThe gut microbiota is an immense reservoir of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs); however, in Australia the profile of the gut ‘resistome’, or ensemble of ARGs, has not been investigated. This study provides a first preliminary mapping of the major bacterial ARGs present in human, domestic dog and wild duck fecal samples collected from south-eastern Victoria, Australia; and evaluates the use of shotgun metagenomics sequencing (SMS) and targeted amplification of ARGs. We analysed SMS data using an in-house method and web-based bioinformatics tools: ResFinder and KmerResistance. We examined targeted sequences using One Codex or the PanBacterialAnalysis Torrent Suite plugin. All methods detected ARGs in all samples, with resistance to up to 13 classes of antibiotics detected overall. ARGs were more abundant in the human and dog samples than the duck samples. They mostly conferred resistance to three classes of antibiotics that are the most frequently prescribed in Australia: tetracycline, β-lactams and MLSB (macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramin B). Targeted sequencing significantly improved sensitivity for detection of ARGs included in the panel; however, SMS provided quantitative information and allowed tentative identification of the host bacteria. For SMS, web-based and in-house methods gave comparable results, with discrepancies mostly due to different reference databases. The in-house method allowed manually checking results and potential errors, while web-based methods were user-friendlier and less time-consuming. More samples need to be investigated to fully describe the resistome in humans and animals in Australia.

In this study, we conducted a preliminary investigation of the efficacy of Be a Mom, a web-based self-guided intervention, in enhancing positive mental health among postpartum women at low risk for postpartum depression. Additionally, we examined Be a Mom’s efficacy regarding secondary outcomes as well as its acceptability and adherence. A total of 367 participants were randomly assigned to the Be a Mom group (n = 191) or to the waiting-list control group (n = 176) and completed baseline (T1) and postintervention (T2) assessments. The intervention group reported significant increases in positive mental health between T1 and T2 compared to the control group. Additionally, group effects were found for depressive and anxiety symptoms. A significantly higher proportion of participants in the Be a Mom group had an improvement trajectory (from not flourishing at T1 to flourishing at T2). A total of 62 (32.5%) women completed Be a Mom, and most would use it again if needed (n = 82/113; 72.6%). This study provides preliminary evidence of Be a Mom’s efficacy in increasing positive mental health among low-risk postpartum women. Our findings support mental health promotion strategies in the postpartum period and highlight the important role of web-based CBT interventions.
