La communication, plus qu'une envie, un besoin: rendre visible sa bibliothèque auprès de ses publics : lumière sur la bibliothèque de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS)

Au milieu d’un environnement en pleine mutation, l’information est une source indispensable pour la stabilité de la société. Que faire lorsque son accès est trop large pour certains et restreint pour d’autres ? La bibliothèque de l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé (OMS) se situant au siège de l’institution, à Genève, a pour mission de trouver des solutions pour rendre accessible l’information dans le domaine de la santé. Le monde de la gestion de l’information est enraciné dans un savoir et une tradition professionnelle importants, souvent représentés par la bibliothèque en tant que lieu de connaissances. Cette image est quelque peu désuète depuis l’arrivée des nouvelles technologies, mais, à travers les évolutions, le même crédo subsiste : trouver l’information au bon moment et pour la bonne personne. De plus, les professionnels de l’information se doivent de promouvoir, de diffuser et surtout de valoriser cette information. Une bonne communication, en ciblant le public, en délivrant le bon message et cela sur un canal adéquat, permet de rendre visible le service. Ce travail présente des pistes concernant la communication de la bibliothèque. La force de la communication repose sur son intégration dans le processus de travail courant. L’action de communiquer s’appuie sur une réflexion de profondeur et celle-ci permet de déterminer ce qui est dit à propos du service. Pour accompagner la transition vers de nouvelles technologies et ajuster l’image de la bibliothèque, la communication est une démarche appropriée.Amid a changing environment, information is an essential resource for the stability of society. What should we do when the access to it is too broad for some and too limited for others? WHO’s library which is located in the institution’s headquarter, in Geneva, has the mission to find solutions to give access to information in the health sector. The world of information management has its roots in expertise and professional tradition, often depicted as the library which is a place of knowledge. This image is somewhat obsolete since the arrival of new technologies, but, through evolutions, the same principle subsists : find the information at the right time for the right person. Moreover, information professionals owe themselves to promote, distribute and most importantly add value to this information. A good communication, by targeting theaudience, by transferring the right message through an appropriate channel, enables to give visibility to the service. This research presents leads on the subject of library communication. The strength of communication is based on its integration in the current effort process. The act of communicating relies on an in-depth analysis which gives the possibility to determine what is said about the service. To accompany the transition towards new technologies and adjust the image of the library, communication is an appropriate approach

Doctoral Student Perspectives on Motivation and Persistence: Eye-Opening Insights Into the Ideas and Thoughts That Today\u27s Doctoral Students Have About Finishing the Doctoral Degree

It all comes down to this: we have an amazing team of faculty working with us who are present, supportive, intelligent, and motivated to help us succeed. They designed this program with those objectives in mind. We are in good hands, and any questions we have will be answered, so long as we ask them. Having the support system of our faculty, along with the tools we need to be successful, are major parts of the battle, already won. The rest is up to us. - A.

High pressure intensification of cassava resistant starch (RS3) yields

Cassava starch, typically, has resistant starch type 3 (RS3) content of 2.4%. This paper shows that the RS3 yields can be substantially enhanced by debranching cassava starch using pullulanase followed by high pressure or cyclic high-pressure annealing. RS3 yield of 41.3% was obtained when annealing was carried out at 400 MPa/60°C for 15 min, whereas it took nearly 8 h to obtain the same yield under conventional atmospheric annealing at 60°C. The yield of RS3 could be further significantly increased by annealing under 400MPa/60°C pressure for 15 min followed by resting at atmospheric pressure for 3 h 45 min, and repeating this cycle for up to six times. Microstructural surface analysis of the product under a scanning electron microscope showed an increasingly rigid density of the crystalline structure formed, confirming higher RS3 content

Histopathologic Excision Margin Affects Local Recurrence Rate: Analysis of 2681 Patients With Melanomas ≤2 mm Thick

OBJECTIVE: Prospective trials have shown that 1-cm and 2-cm margins are safe for melanomas <1 mm thick and ≥1 mm thick, respectively. It is unknown whether narrower margins increase the risk of LR or mortality. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: To determine the relationship between histopathologic excision margin, local recurrence (LR) and survival for patients with melanomas ≤2 mm thick. METHODS: Data were extracted from the Sydney Melanoma Unit database for all patients with cutaneous melanoma ≤2 mm thick, diagnosed up to 1996. Patients with positive excision margins or follow-up <12 months were excluded, leaving 2681 for analysis. Outcome measures were LR (recurrence <5 cm from the excision scar), in-transit recurrence, and disease-specific survival. Factors predicting LR and overall survival were tested with Cox proportional hazards analysis. RESULTS: Median follow-up was 83.8 months. LR was identified in 55 patients (median time to recurrence, 37 months). At 120 months, the actuarial LR rate was 2.9%. Five-year survival after LR was 52.8%. In multivariate analysis, only margin of excision and tumor thickness were predictive of LR (both P = 0.003). When all patients with a margin <0.8 cm in fixed tissue (corresponding to a margin of <1 cm in vivo) were excluded from analysis, margin was no longer significant in predicting LR. Thickness, ulceration, and site were predictive of survival, but margin was not (P = 0.49). CONCLUSIONS: Histopathologic margin affects the risk of LR. However, if the in vivo margin is ≥1 cm, it no longer predicts risk of LR. Patient survival is not affected by margin
