Caesium neodymium sulfate, CsNd(SO4)2

The crystal structure of caesium neodymium(III) sulfate, CsNd(SO4)2, was determined from intensity data collected on a Rigaku tabletop XtaLAB mini II diffractometer at the International Union of Crystallography Congress 2017, in Hyderabad, India. CsNd(SO4)2 is the fourth crystal structure to be reported in the CsPr(SO4)2 family: the Cs and Nd atoms have site symmetries of 2.. and ..2, respectively. In the extended structure, NdO8 square antiprisms and SO4 tetrahedra are connected into layers, which propagate in the (101) plane and CsO14 polyhedra connect the layers into a three-dimensional network

An exploration into early childhood physical literacy programs : a systematic literature review

This review explored the impact of physical literacy programs designed to engage two- to five-year-old preschool children. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) was used. Six EBSCO host databases were searched for the period 2011 to April 2021 using the search terms “physical literacy,” “early childhood,” and “impact.” Articles were excluded if physical literacy was not the focal intervention. The final data set consisted of seven-peer reviewed articles meeting the eligibility criteria and quality assessment for this review. Three themes were created using Braun and Clark’s (2006) approach to thematic analysis: Holistic benefits of physical literacy, Barriers to physical literacy and Education begins at home. Early childhood physical literacy programs provide holistic benefits for children; however, further research is needed in an Australian context. Families and community members working in the early childhood sector could benefit from further education and training to improve physical literacy awareness. © The Author(s) 2022

Incorporating cardiopulmonary resuscitation training into a cardiac rehabilitation programme: A feasibility study

The European Society of Cardiology 2017. Background: Patients with a cardiac history are at future risk of cardiac events, including out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Targeting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to family members of cardiac patients has long been advocated, but is an area in need of contemporary research evidence. An environment yet to be investigated for targeted training is cardiac rehabilitation. Aim: To evaluate the feasibility of providing CPR training in a cardiac rehabilitation programme among patients, their family members and staff. Methods: A prospective before and after study design was used. CPR training was delivered using video self-instruction CPR training kits, facilitated by a cardiac nurse. Data was collected pre-training, post-training and at one month. Results: Cardiac patient participation rates in CPR classes were high (n = 56, 72.7% of eligible patients) with a further 27 family members attending training. Patients were predominantly male (60.2%), family members were predominantly female (81.5%), both with a mean age of 65 years. Confidence to perform CPR and willingness to use skills significantly increased post-training (both p < 0.001). Post training participants demonstrated a mean compression rate of 112 beats/min and a mean depth of 48 mm. Training reach was doubled as participants shared the video self-instruction kit with a further 87 people. Patients, family members and cardiac rehabilitation staff had positive feedback about the training. Conclusions: We demonstrated that cardiac rehabilitation is an effective and feasible environment to provide CPR training. Using video self-instruction CPR training kits enabled further training reach to the target population

Public

The introduction states that the theme for this issue of Public, "experimentalism," was intended to generate debate about the relationship between contemporary art and politics. The contents, 17 essays and four artists projects, are based on the proceedings from a conference and screening at Queen’s University: “Blowing the Trumpets to the Tulips.” Kibbins wishes to reinvest experimentalism with new meaning, since it lost its direction with the end of progressive Modernism. Includes conference program. Biographical notes. 227 bibl. ref
