A Time Lord, a Timeline and Legal Instruction

From online embeds to interactive displays, timelines can serve many purposes and tell powerful stories. In this session librarians team up with an archivist and a clinician to bring history to life, engage students, and preserve the scholarly and institutional milestones. A variety of tools for creating digital timelines and gathering content will be shared including TikiToki, TimeToast, and Piktochart. Comparisons will be given based on cost, technical limitations, collaborative potential, and general ease of use. Potential applications for timelines will also be shared in the form of examples including: a TimeToast embedded timeline tribute for individual faculty scholarship as a part of research guides a TikiToki multi-media timeline celebrating the growth of clinical and experiential learning programs over the course of 50 years a Piktochart timeline for classroom slides or printed display illustrating a series of significant trials Time permitting, a live demo will guide attendees through the creation of a timeline with one of the tools. This session will be of interest to technologists, librarians and faculty alike. Attendees will walk away with an overview of the tools available for making timelines, ideas for how they could be used for instructional purposes, and a guide including examples and resources

Older people’s perspectives on living in integrated housing and care settings: the case of extra care housing

Purpose This paper explores residents’ perceptions and experiences of extra care housing as an integrated model of housing with care. Design Data were collected in a longitudinal qualitative study based in four extra care housing schemes. Interviews were held with residents, care workers, managers and local commissioners. Data were analysed thematically. Findings The study found that the integration of housing with care enabled many older people to manage their care proactively. However, the increasing number of residents with complex health and care needs led some residents to question the ability of the model to support residents to live independently when living with chronic illness. Research limitations The study struggled to recruit sufficient residents from the specialist dementia setting who were able to communicate their consent to take part in the research. In addition, the quality of qualitative data collected in interviews with participants at this setting reduced over successive rounds of interviews. Implications The study suggests the need to ensure residents are fully appraised of what levels of care and support are available when they decide to move into extra care housing schemes. Originality This paper provides a timely opportunity to consider extra care housing as an example of an integrated housing service, particularly in light of the current challenges facing the sector

“Gente de bien” y falsos positivos: el costo humano de la indiferencia social

This article shows how extreme socioeconomic inequality and the criminalization of the poor constitute a threat to the guarantee of peace in Colombia. The study analyses the factors that lead to and sustained the boom in so called ‘false positives’ in Colombia. These are conformed of a series of extrajudicial executions carried out against people in poor economic circumstances, particularly those belonging to marginalized sectors of society. The victims of the false positives were assassinated by members of the armed forces, in many cases in collaboration with illegal groups, and the murdered people were presented as members of illegal armed groups who were legally shot down in combat. These crimes were committed during the period between 2002 and 2008, and at least 3000 executions have been registered. The practice of false positives constitutes one of the most atrocious crimes committed by a state in the 21st century, with flagrant attempts to achieve impunity for those responsible, while their victims are still fighting for justice and clarity. For this reason, this paper sustains that it is necessary to confront the extreme socioeconomic inequality and cultural imaginary that surround people effected by poverty in Colombia. Effectively, extreme inequality and its social representations have legitimised the dehumanisation of the country’s most oppressed groups, and have contributed to the denial and even justify the crimes committed against them. This facilitates the conditions that allow these crimes to occur and be granted impunity. Until responsibility is taken for these aspects. The most vulnerable will continue to be victimised and the construction of peace will not transcend those who are part of the privileged elite.El presente artículo muestra cómo las extremas desigualdades socioeconómicas y la criminalización de la pobreza constituyen una amenaza para la garantía de la paz en Colombia. El estudio analiza los factores que condujeron y sustentaron el auge de los llamados “falsos positivos” en Colombia1. Lo anterior, conformado por una serie de ejecuciones extrajudiciales perpetuadas hacia personas de escasos recursos económicos, especialmente a aquellos pertenecientes a sectores sociales marginales. Las víctimas de los falsos positivos fueron asesinadas por miembros de las fuerzas militares, en varios casos, en colaboración con grupos al margen de la ley, donde las personas asesinadas eran presentadas como integrantes de grupos armados ilegales dados de baja legalmente en combate. Estos delitos fueron cometidos durante el periodo comprendido entre los años 2002 y 2008, con un registro de por lo menos 3000 ejecuciones

The findings of the report are drawn from interviews with LACYP and an analysis of available statistics and literature on the looked after children population

Mesoscale eddy dissipation by a “zoo” of submesoscale processes at a western boundary

Mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous dynamical features that tend to propagate westward and disappear along ocean western boundaries. Using a multiscale observational study, we assess the extent to which eddies dissipate via a direct cascade of energy at a western boundary. We analyze data from a ship‐based microstructure and velocity survey, and an 18‐month mooring deployment, to document the dissipation of energy in anticyclonic and cyclonic eddies impinging on the topographic slope east of the Bahamas, in the North Atlantic Ocean. These observations reveal high levels of turbulence where the steep and rough topographic slope modified the intensified northward flow associated with, in particular, anticyclonic eddies. Elevated dissipation was observed both near‐bottom and at mid depths (200–800 m). Near‐bottom turbulence occurred in the lee of a protruding escarpment, where elevated Froude numbers suggest hydraulic control. Energy was also radiated in the form of upward‐propagating internal waves. Elevated dissipation at mid depths occurred in regions of strong vertical shear, where the topographic slope modified the vertical structure of the northward eddy flow. Here, low Richardson numbers and a local change in the isopycnal gradient of potential vorticity (PV) suggest that the elevated dissipation was associated with horizontal shear instability. Elevated mid‐depth dissipation was also induced by topographic steering of the flow. This led to large anticyclonic vorticity and negative PV adjacent to the topographic slope, suggesting that centrifugal instability underpinned the local enhancement in dissipation. Our results provide a mechanistic benchmark for the realistic representation of eddy dissipation in ocean models
