KBART Phase III: Unresolved questions

During the “NISO update” session at the NISO Plus 2021 conference, which took place online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, members of the KBART (Knowledge Base and Related Tools) Standing Committee presented their plans and work toward KBART Phase III, a revision of the KBART Recommended Practice. In an interactive breakout session, they sought input from attendees on how KBART is being used and what new content types it should support. Presenters from the KBART Standing Committee were Noah Levin (Independent Professional), Stephanie Doellinger (OCLC, Inc.), Robert Heaton (Utah State University), and Andrée Rathemacher (University of Rhode Island). Assisting them in preparing the presentation were Jason Friedman (Canadian Research Knowledge Network), Sheri Meares (EBSCO Information Services), Benjamin Johnson (ProQuest), Elif Eryilmaz-Sigwarth (Springer Nature), and Nettie Lagace (NISO).

Broadening Diversity and Inclusivity in Human Factors and Ergonomics

Diversity and inclusivity are important, with demonstrated impact on numerous outcomes, including breadth, creativity, and innovation of work as well as satisfaction and commitment to organizations. The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) Diversity and Inclusion Committee is charged with increasing diversity and inclusiveness within the society and, by extension, within the Human Factors and Ergonomics (HF/E) profession. We conducted a thematic analysis of an alternative format session at the HFES 2019 Annual Meeting, focusing on a breakout session where attendees discussed “Broadening Participation in HF/E.” Participants reported current levels of diversity and inclusion in the HF/E profession are lacking due to a limited early knowledge about the field compounded by resource barriers, which ultimately prevents involvement in outreach activities intended to increase participation. Thoughtfully designed outreach activities and partnerships with relevant organizations and individuals could mitigate these factors, provided outreach activities are designed to be accessible to all.

The Role of the “Mediator” in Sustainable Preservation and Utilization of Disaster Remains – Report from the 2020 International Forum on Telling Live Lessons from Disasters –

Preserving disaster remains does not always mean inheriting memories of disasters. Without long-term preservation and sustainable utilization of disaster remains, we cannot hand down the stories of disasters to the future generations. Keeping this in mind, a breakout session “Disaster Remains and Passing-on of Memories” was held in the “2020 International Forum on Telling Live Lessons from Disasters,” to grasp the trends of disaster remains inside and outside Japan. The discussions in the breakout session have put a spotlight on the important role of the “mediator” in sustainable utilization of disaster remains. With reference to the reports presented by the speakers at the breakout session, the objective of this study is to discuss the role of the “mediator” in sustainable utilization of disaster remains. The role of the “mediator” has been found to include a role of encouraging the preservation of disaster remains and a role of digging up buried memories.

The Role of Museums in Telling Live Lessons

This paper summarizes a discussion of the role of disaster-related museums in passing down memories and lessons-learned to future generations through storytelling. The 135-minute discussion was held as a breakout session entitled “The Role of Museums in Telling Live Lessons” during the 2020 International Forum on Telling Live Lessons from Disasters in Kobe, Japan. On 25 January 2020, representatives of five museums (one still under construction) engaged in disaster storytelling activities. They discussed various issues, including how to engage local communities and improve the relationship between storytelling and sustainable museum management. The participating museums were the Pacific Tsunami Museum in Hawaii, U.S.A., the Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution (DRI) in Kobe, Japan, the Museum of the Mount Bandai Eruption in Fukushima, Japan, the International Tsunami Museum in Khaolak, Thailand, and the Ban Namkhem Memorial and Museum in Thailand (under construction). Museums are important venues that develop and continue disaster storytelling. All the participating museums digitally archive images, which creates the permanent inheritance of collective memory. All the museums focus on children. On the other hand, human and economic resources are required for museums to carry out their activities. The need for a museum network engaged in disaster storytelling is also discussed.

Workshop on biodiversity and functioning of arctic ecosystems — continuing work on the «Arctic Vegetation Archive» (Arkhangelsk, 21–23 May 2019)

The three-days Arctic Vegetation Archive and Classification Workshop, in which 32 participants from 9 countries (Canada, Finland, Germany, Italy, Norway, Republic of Slovakia, Russia, Switzerland, USA) participated, took place at the Northern Arctic Federal University, Arkhangelsk, Russia on 21–23 May 2019. The participants reviewed success in archiving data into the AVA and regional Archives, which has been achieved in the last 2 years. International Archive already contains large number of datasets, which allowed to define the ways to use this data for the assessment the dynamic of vegetation due to climate change. Discussion was also focused on the results of regional classification with an attempt to come up with a common approach. During the breakout session, attention was brought to the necessity of international communication: everyone agreed that developing a network will make cooperation easier. At the end of the meeting on 23 May the participants stated long-term goals for the next 4 years: Integrate Russian data entries into AVA by Komarov Botanical Institute and A. N. Severtsov Institute working groups; Develop standardized methods for surveys, archiving and classification; Establish the system of databases management and rules for sharing data; Create a central website containing basic information about national Archives, georeferences and links; Establish funding to complete AVA, AVC and the website. Next meeting will take place at Arctic Science Summit Week in Portugal 2021.

THE SAGE SYMPOSIUM: A MODEL FOR HANDS-ON INTERACTIVE CONTINUING EDUCATION

Current graduate and postgraduate medical education has minimal geriatric and palliative care curricular requirements, leaving Continuing Education (CE) programs poised to fill a critical educational niche. The San Antonio Geriatric and Palliative Education (SAGE) Symposium was a 3 day long interprofessional CE conference for providers caring for older adults. SAGE addressed geriatric knowledge, skill, and attitude deficits in practicing providers by incorporating: 1) a community and provider based needs assessment, 2) active skills sessions culminating in a health fair, and 3) multimedia based reflective exercises. Needs Assessment (Knowledge): A video needs assessments of older adults were performed using a convenience sampling methodology in 13 non-healthcare public locations in each quadrant of the city. 23 respondents were interviewed before reaching thematic saturation with 3 main themes: geriatric syndromes, patient-provider relationships, and support. Content areas for the course were derived from the needs assessment. Skills Sessions (Skills): In addition to standard plenary sessions, multiple active breakout session taught attendees common geriatric skills. On the last day of the conference, attendees applied these skills under supervision at a senior community health fair. Reflective Exercises (Attitudes): Videos, poems, and artwork with themes on aging were displayed during conference breaks. Attendees received CE credit for electronically submitting short reflections to each multimedia piece. Reflections were compiled and reported back to the group at the end of the conference. By changing the traditional CE conference format to an interactive experience, the SAGE Symposium was able to address knowledge, skills, and attitudes towards aging in its attendees.

2061. Private Practice Dentists and Orthopedic Surgeons (PPD&OS) Engage in a Novel Stewardship Forum: Consensus to Use Less Antibiotics Achieved

Background The American Dental Association (ADA) favors no antibiotic prophylaxis for joint implant patients (JIP), while the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons’ (AAOS) guidance favors up to lifetime prophylaxis for JIP. Private practice dentists (PPD) represent 80% of all US dentists and to date, no one has attempted dental stewardship with PPD&OS to address this issue. Our purpose is to engage PPD&OS in the same room to address dental stewardship. Methods A town hall community evening forum led by an infectious diseases pharmacist and physician, including an oral surgeon, OS, hospital lawyers, and physicians from the CDC. One hour of didactics was presented to 28 PPD&OS followed by a breakout session with interdisciplinary groups to address 2 cases and 10 thought provoking questions to get at rationale for answers. Team leaders presented answers for discussion and “next-steps” to engage more PPD&OS. A pre- and post-survey was administered. Results PPD&OS’ “next-steps” were: online continuing education webinar, develop a process to inform PPD&OS if patients develop CDI or a “superbug,” more presentations by ASP experts at local/national meetings, and use local media to engage consumers. The opportunity to meet and work through cases together was highly valued. Conclusion An interdisciplinary community forum effectively allowed for consensus among PPD&OS to use fewer antibiotics for JIP receiving dental treatment. Fear of lawsuits impacts antibiotic use; as guidelines are updated and dental stewardship with PPD expands definitive recommendations and improved communications are key.

Breakout Session: Mapping the Copyright Constellation: Charting Campus Partners to Create Copyright Instruction Your Students Will Care About.

This is a report on North Carolina librarians Will Cross, Molly Keener, and Lillian Rigling’s presentation at the 2017 Kraemer Copyright Conference where they advocated building campus partnerships to teach students about U.S. copyright law in a way that is both meaningful and pertinent. Each presented a case study in which presenters worked with faculty to develop course integrated copyright instruction. Two of these were successes while the third produced uneven results.

Growth Hormone Research Society perspective on biomarkers of GH action in children and adults

Objective The Growth Hormone Research Society (GRS) convened a Workshop in 2017 to evaluate clinical endpoints, surrogate endpoints and biomarkers during GH treatment of children and adults and in patients with acromegaly. Participants GRS invited 34 international experts including clinicians, basic scientists, a regulatory scientist and physicians from the pharmaceutical industry. Evidence Current literature was reviewed and expert opinion was utilized to establish the state of the art and identify current gaps and unmet needs. Consensus process Following plenary presentations, breakout groups discussed questions framed by the planning committee. The attendees re-convened after each breakout session to share the group reports. A writing team compiled the breakout session reports into a document that was subsequently discussed and revised by participants. This was edited further and circulated for final review after the meeting. Participants from pharmaceutical companies were not part of the writing process. Conclusions The clinical endpoint in paediatric GH treatment is adult height with height velocity as a surrogate endpoint. Increased life expectancy is the ideal but unfeasible clinical endpoint of GH treatment in adult GH-deficient patients (GHDA) and in patients with acromegaly. The pragmatic clinical endpoints in GHDA include normalization of body composition and quality of life, whereas symptom relief and reversal of comorbidities are used in acromegaly. Serum IGF-I is widely used as a biomarker, even though it correlates weakly with clinical endpoints in GH treatment, whereas in acromegaly, normalization of IGF-I may be related to improvement in mortality. There is an unmet need for novel biomarkers that capture the pleiotropic actions of GH in relation to GH treatment and in patients with acromegaly.
