Maslow in the Mud: Contrast between qualitative and quantitative assessment of thermal performance in historic buildings.
This paper argues that the notion of comfort is first and foremost re-lated to subjective choices and individual value systems. The article presents re-sults from research on the perception and measurements of the thermal qualities of heritage buildings in Lincolnshire, UK. The qualitative and quantitative re-sults identified a strong contrast between different methodologies. Inhabitants describe as comfortable houses which would not be considered comfortable if a standard positivist approach was used. The conflict presented will be dis-cussed in the context of sustainable strategies in architecture

Evaluation of an educational video providing key messages for doctors to counsel families following a first afebrile seizure
Aim: The aim was to evaluate an educational video in educating doctors on the key messages and follow-up pathways following a first afebrile seizure presentation. A multidisciplinary expert team developed the video (http://www.pennsw.org.au/families/resources/first-seizure-pack-and-video) based on available evidence and best-practice. It contains a role-play between the parent/child and physician. It addresses: key messages to impart following a first seizure, seizure first aid, safety messages including necessary precautions post-discharge, contents of the First Seizure Pack for families, follow-up pathway and issues for discussion with the paediatrician at a later appointment. Methods: Paediatric/Emergency department (ED) trainees across three Australian sites were recruited during terms 1 and 2, 2019. A repeated measures design was used. Multilevel modelling analyses were performed. The primary outcome was clinician knowledge. Secondary outcomes were confidence in answering questions and counselling families. Qualitative data on the utility, strengths and weaknesses of the video were evaluated. Results: A total of 127 participants consented, one withdrew prior to commencing. A total of 126 baseline surveys, 115 follow-up surveys and 45 1-month follow-up surveys were returned. Viewing the video significantly improved knowledge of key messages at immediate follow-up (P < 0.001) and 1-month follow-up (P = 0.048). Likewise, confidence was significantly improved; 96.5% of responders found the video useful, 90.3% were likely to use the resource in the future and 82% would change their approach to counselling. Most liked aspects of the resource were clarity/conciseness of the information (n = 70) and comprehensiveness (n = 38). Conclusion: This education video significantly improved clinician knowledge and confidence in counselling families following first seizure
