I Know How This Ends: Stories of Dementia Care
I Know How This Ends is the second volume in a series that started with Parables of Care: Creative Responses to Dementia Care (2017). The project explores the potential of comics to enhance the impact of dementia care research. This comic book presents, in synthesised form, stories crafted from narrative data collected via interviews with professional caregivers, educators, and staff at Douglas College in Vancouver, Canada, who have cared for relatives and people with dementia in hospital.The intention of the book is to show the importance of feeling in care-giving, the professional aspects of which are sometimes at odds with the family systems aspect of dementia
Parables of Care. Creative Responses to Dementia Care, As Told by Carers
Parables of Care presents true stories of creative responses to dementia care, told by carers, taken from a group of over 100 case studies available at http://carenshare.city.ac.uk/. Creativity, emotional intelligence and common sense are amply shown in these 14 touching and informative stories. Drawn by Dr Simon Grennan with Christopher Sperandio. Edited and adapted by Dr Simon Grennan, Dr Ernesto Priego and Dr Peter Wilkins. Created with funding from City, University of London's MCSE School Impact Fund 2017, the University of Chester, UK and Douglas College, Vancouver, Canada.Parables of Care presents true stories of creative responses to dementia care, told by carers, taken from a group of over 100 case studies available at http://carenshare.city.ac.uk/.

The Body Aches [Poems and Hay(na)ku]
The Body Aches [Poems and Hay(na)ku] is a 24-page poetry chapbook. This is an open access PDF version of a modified digital original document from which the author printed 100 limited, signed and numbered copies in 2006. This open access PDF version contains minor revisions. This chapbook was originally published on print in 2006 by Expresso Doble, Mexico City, and shared first freely online in 2008 and then deposited as an open access publication in 2017 by the author through the authorâs imprint, Manzana MĂĄs Press, London.

The "hay(na)ku" is a Filipino and diasporic poetic form conceptualized by Eileen Tabios, as inspired by the character "Cameron" in Richard Brautigan's novel The Hawkline Monster and Jack Kerouac's thoughts on the "American haiku."

The Question Concerning Comics as Technology: Gestell and Grid
In this article we argue that the comics grid, the array of panels, can be understood as a specific technology of ârevealingâ through âenframingâ and as such is the key element in comics technology. We propose Martin Heideggerâs conceptual framework (Gestell: literally, âthe frameworkâ), primarily discussed in his 1954 essay âThe Question Concerning Technologyâ (1982) as a strategy that can be used to engage critically with panel layout in graphic narratives, concluding that the role of the grid in comics and the way that new technologies put that grid to work both in the production and consumption of comics means that comics embody the relationship between technology, storytelling and materiality. In an age in which most of the screens that dominate our information-filled lives are rectangular, we argue that the purpose of the grid is to manage a potentially overwhelming sublime space
Barriers Remain: Perceptions and Uses of Comics by Mental Health and Social Care Library Users
This article is part of a larger study investigating the perceived value of using comics as an information resource in the teaching and training of mental health and social care professionals in a higher education setting.
We surveyed 108 library users at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, which specialises in mental health and social care and is a centre for both treatment and training. The study showed that most participants believed that comics have a potential role to play in mental health care training, and that challenges remain in getting comics perceived in ways that are not limited by existing prejudices or socio-cultural assumptions.
Amongst other findings, the study found no significant association between the age or gender of participants and their attitudes to comics in an academic context. Participants considered that the most useful application of comics within the mental health and social care domain was their potential use in medical or therapeutic settings with young people. Even when our sample was not dominated by participants who reported reading comics regularly, the study showed that recent experience of reading comics seems to positively influence how comfortable participants feel about using comics for teaching or learning

Arrested dynamics of the dipolar hard-sphere model
We report the combined results of molecular dynamics simulations and
theoretical calculations concerning various dynamical arrest transitions in a
model system representing a dipolar fluid, namely, N (softcore) rigid spheres
interacting through a truncated dipole-dipole potential. By exploring different
regimes of concentration and temperature, we find three distinct scenarios for
the slowing down of the dynamics of the translational and orientational degrees
of freedom: At low ({} = 0.2) and intermediate ( = 0.4) volume
fractions, both dynamics are strongly coupled and become simultaneously
arrested upon cooling. At high concentrations ({} 0.6), the
translational dynamics shows the features of an ordinary glass transition,
either by compressing or cooling down the system, but with the orientations
remaining ergodic, thus indicating the existence of partially arrested states.
In this density regime, but at lower temperatures, the relaxation of the
orientational dynamics also freezes. The physical scenario provided by the
simulations is discussed and compared against results obtained with the
self-consistent generalized Langevin equation theory, and both provide a
consistent description of the dynamical arrest transitions in the system. Our
results are summarized in an arrested states diagram which qualitatively
organizes the simulation data and provides a generic picture of the glass
transitions of a dipolar fluid

Library Carpentry: software skills training for library professionals
Librarians play a crucial role in cultivating world-class research and in most disciplinary areas today world-class research relies on the use of software. This paper describes Library Carpentry, an introductory software skills training programme with a focus on the needs and requirements of library and information professionals. Using Library Carpentry as a case study of the development and delivery of software skills focused professional development, this paper describes the institutional and intellectual contexts in which Library Carpentry was conceived, the syllabus used for the initial exploratory programme, the administrative apparatus through which the programme was delivered, and the analysis of data collection exercises conducted during the programme. As many university librarians already have substantial expertise working with data, it argues that adding software skills (that is, coding and data manipulation that goes beyond the use of familiar office suites) to their armoury is an effective and important use of professional development resource
