How To Set Up An Erm In Your Library Without Killing Your Coworkers (And Vice Versa), Jon Hansen
Jon Hansen
As libraries shift more and more of the journals and books from print to online, keeping up with them makes an Electronic Resource Manager (ERM) more and more of a necessity. But setting up an ERM is no small task, and one that can put a strain on a library. This presentation will cover one library's experience with setting up an ERM, and what your organization can learn from our choices.

Gender Differences In Factors Associated With Prehospital Delay Among Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients In Pakistan, Tazeen S. Ali Dr, Saleema Allana Dr, Khurshid Khowaja Dr, Debra Kay Moser Dr, Aamir Hameed Khan Hameed Khan Dr
Tazeen S Ali Dr
Purpose: To identify gender differences in prehospital delay time (PDT) and its associated factors among acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Design: Descriptive cross-sectional comparative study. Methods: This study was conducted among 249 ACS patients at two tertiary care hospitals of a large metropolitan city of Pakistan. Data were collected through the modified Response to Symptoms Questionnaire. Results: The median PDT of women was found to be 7 hours, compared to 3.5 hours among men (p = .001). Results of the regression analysis indicated that most women delayed because of social factors, such as attendants’ responses to their symptoms (p = …
Fin Del Penal García Moreno, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fin Del Penal García Moreno, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq.
Fernando Carrión Mena
El penal fue construido por Thomas Reed –entre 1879 y 1882- en las afueras de la ciudad de Quito. Hoy después de más de 130 años de existencia, su implantación se encuentra en pleno centro de la ciudad y su función de reclusorio ha sido extinguida. A lo largo de este tiempo el edificio adquirió un significativo valor de historia que le convirtió en un elemento emblemático de la ciudad: desde allí salieron reivindicaciones sobre los derechos humanos, sobre el sentido de la libertad y sobre los principios de la justicia; pero también se convirtió en una marca territorial del …

A Tableau Vivant Of Il Classrooms: The Multimodal/Multisensory Experience For The Teaching And Learning Of Threshold Concept.”, Kathleen Langan
Kathleen Langan
The Association of College and Research Libraries’ (ACRL) release of the Draft Framework for Information Literacy (IL) for Higher Education well positions those who teach IL to reflect on identifying and defining learning. What is learning? Is it a stagnant, finite event or is it a process? Are there always artifacts that are tangible testaments to the act of learning? If not, then how do we measure it? Does teacher bias hinder learning and our understanding of students and what they know? I present my journey and how I found answers to these questions in the philosophy of rhetoric espoused …

Report On The Tanzanian Public Accounts Committee In Comparative Perspective, Riccardo Pelizzo, Abel Kinyondo
riccardo pelizzo
The purpose of the present policy brief is to compare and contrast the organization and the activity but also the working practices and the functioning of the Tanzanian PAC with that of the Public Accounts Committees (PACs) from the East African region. The evidence presented here shows that Tanzania’s PAC is line with best practices at the global level. Specifically, the PAC is well above the regional average in terms of several organizational features, and that, most importantly is the most active PAC in the region.

Consumer Response To Cigarette Excise Tax Changes, Lesley Chiou, Erich Muehlegger
Consumer Response To Cigarette Excise Tax Changes, Lesley Chiou, Erich Muehlegger
Lesley Chiou
We use a rich dataset of weekly cigarette sales to examine how consumers adapt their behavior before and after excise tax increases --- whether by stockpiling or substituting between quality tiers of a product. We find that stockpiling primarily occurs for low-tier cigarettes. In the short-term, consumers shift from high- to low-tier cigarettes, presumably to maintain current consumption. However, in the long-term, tax increases are associated with substitution towards high-tier cigarettes. In the long-term, average levels of tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide consumed per pack rises, as consumer substitute across tiers and brands, suggesting a long-term negative impact on health …

Testimony On Social Impact Bonds Before U.S. Senate Task Force On Government Performance, Kyle Mckay
Testimony On Social Impact Bonds Before U.S. Senate Task Force On Government Performance, Kyle Mckay
Kyle McKay
The primary difference between social impact bonds and prior attempts to link outcomes to payments is the inclusion of investors. According to proponents, social impact bonds and the inclusion of investors can increase the extent of evidence-based policy, encourage innovation in service programming, produce costs savings to governments, and invoke government expenditures only after success is demonstrated. For governments facing revenue constraints for political or economic reasons, social impact bonds may appear to be the silver bullet for social services. However, the benefits may be based largely on wishful thinking. Yet the risks and costs to governments from engaging in …

Female Vs. Male Top Manager Of Private Firms In Developing Countries: Implications For Country And Firm Characteristics, Mohammad Amin
Female Vs. Male Top Manager Of Private Firms In Developing Countries: Implications For Country And Firm Characteristics, Mohammad Amin
Mohammad Amin
Gender disparity in various economic dimensions has prompted policy measures aimed at providing greater employment opportunities for women. However, greater employment may not solve the problem much if this is concentrated in low paying and vulnerable jobs such as jobs in informal sector. Hence, it becomes important to understand how women vs. men compare in high paying formal sector jobs such as top managers of private firms. Using data on private firms in 86 developing countries, this paper analyzes how firms with female vs. male managers differ in their structure and performance. Relationship between various country characteristics and the proportion …
The Relevance Of Firm-Size In The Informal Sector: Evidence From Developing Countries, Mohammad Amin
The Relevance Of Firm-Size In The Informal Sector: Evidence From Developing Countries, Mohammad Amin
Mohammad Amin
Using newly collected on informal firms in 11 countries in Africa, we explore whether firm-size matters at all for the structure, conduct and performance of the firms. While firm-size is known to be an important attribute of the firms in the formal sector, it is not obvious what the relevance of firm-size is for the informal sector. Informal firms are small, many of them run alone by the owner, and have limited variation in size. Notwithstanding the limited variation in firm-size, our results show that firm-size is highly correlated with a number of firm characteristics such as job growth, labor …
Use Of Foreign Intermediate Inputs In Developing Countries: Determinants And Effects (Short Note), Mohammad Amin, Asif Islam, Po Yin Wong
Use Of Foreign Intermediate Inputs In Developing Countries: Determinants And Effects (Short Note), Mohammad Amin, Asif Islam, Po Yin Wong
Mohammad Amin
Theory suggests a number of channels through which use of foreign inputs could contribute to overall economic development and firm performance. However, empirical work on the use of foreign inputs, its determinants and effects is lacking. Using firm-level data from Enterprise Surveys on developing countries, this note highlights the extent to which firms rely on foreign inputs, how the reliance varies with country and firm characteristics and the impact of foreign inputs on firm productivity. Results show that the use of foreign inputs is common among private firms and especially so among the relatively large firms and firms in countries …

Candidate Selection In Bolivia’S Mixed-Member System: Determinants Of Candidate Selection In Bolivia’S 1993 And 1997 Legislative Elections, Miguel Centellas
Candidate Selection In Bolivia’S Mixed-Member System: Determinants Of Candidate Selection In Bolivia’S 1993 And 1997 Legislative Elections, Miguel Centellas
Miguel Centellas
Mixed-member electoral systems became a popular choice for “electoral engineers” in the 1990s. Countries as diverse as Venezuela, Hungary, Lesotho, and Italy adopted the system. The assumption was that introducing single-member districts (SMDs) in countries that used list proportional representation electoral systems would introduce “constituency” oriented legislators who could be more easily held accountable to voters. This paper explores any changes associated with the adoption of a mixed-member electoral system in Bolivia. It does so through a candidate-level analysis looking at differences in candidate profiles between two elections (1993 and 1997) and between two tiers (list and nominal) in the …

Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena es arquitecto de profesión, pero dice que en su vida tal vez ha construido una chimenea y una ventana, a lo mucho. Lo suyo no es eso. Lo suyo son los libros (ha publicado más de treinta) y los centenares de artículos que ha escrito en periódicos y revistas. y lo suyo son también los viajes, que lo han convertido en un académico trashumante: va de la Ceca a la Meca dando conferencias, participando en coloquios y seminarios.

Open Access: A Model For Sharing Published Conservation Research, Peter D. Verheyen, Priscilla Anderson, Whitney Baker, Beth Doyle
Peter D Verheyen
The conservation field has articulated the importance of publishing our research to disseminate information and further the aims of conservation. Article X of AIC’s Code of Ethics states that conservators should “contribute to the evolution and growth of the profession, a field of study that encompasses the liberal arts and the natural sciences” in part by “sharing of information and experience with colleagues, adding to the profession’s written body of knowledge.” Our Guidelines for Practice state “the conservation professional should recognize the importance of published information that has undergone formal peer review,” because, as Commentary 2.1 indicates, “publication in peer-reviewed …
