Supporting Text And Data Analysis Across Campus From The Academic Library, Amy Kirchhoff, Hejin Shin Phd

Digital Initiatives Symposium

The ability to comprehend and communicate with text-based data is essential to future success in academics and employment, as evidenced in a recent survey from Bloomberg Research Services which shows that nearly 97% of survey respondents now use data analytics in their companies and 58% consider data and text mining a business analytics tool (https://www.sas.com/content/dam/SAS/bp_de/doc/studie/ba-st-the-current-state-of-business-analytics-2317022.pdf). This has fueled a substantial growth in text analysis research (involving the use of technology to analyze un- and semi-structured text data for valuable insights, trends, and patterns) across disciplines and a corresponding demand on academic libraries to support text analysis pedagogy and text analysis …

Digital Initiatives Symposium

ChatGPT and AI technologies present novel and unforeseen challenges to the academic community, ushering in an intriguing era where the distinction between plagiarism and academic integrity can become less clear for many students. In response, the Cal State LA University Library created three new digital initiatives published on traditional and social media teaching platforms to help students understand how to avoid plagiarism and their use of ChatGPT in higher education. In the fall of 2023, librarians developed a new module focused on ChatGPT in higher education. The module enhanced the existing “Understanding and Avoiding Plagiarism” self-paced Canvas student tutorial, which …

Evaluating The Impact Of Hybrid Ventilation Strategies On Reducing The Cooling Load And Achieving Thermal Comfort Of Buildings: Regarding Arid Climate Of Uae By, Sheikha Mohammed Al Niyadi

Thesis/ Dissertation Defenses

The hybrid ventilation system has demonstrated significant promise in controlling indoor thermal comfort, maintaining indoor air quality, and using the least amount of energy possible. It accomplishes this by combining natural and mechanical ventilation. When natural ventilation is not possible, this system seamlessly switches to mechanical ventilation to maintain the best possible indoor thermal comfort levels. However, implementing this method in extremely dry regions is challenging due to the high energy consumption associated with air conditioning and cooling consume during the summer. In these regions, air conditioning and cooling alone account for approximately 60% of the urban energy use. The …

Federal Reserve Bank Of Chicago Circulars: A Case Study Of An Early Career Librarian’S Approach To A Full-Scale Digitization Project, Delaney Mccoy

Digital Initiatives Symposium

Each Federal Reserve Bank distributes circulars to their member banks which contain information regarding bank supervision and regulation, services, policies, and district relations. The early circulars of a Reserve Bank, those issued after the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and before the general regulation of the twelve Reserve Banks through the Banking Act of 1935, illuminate the idiosyncratic nature of the policies and procedures of each district.

In the summer of 2023, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago sent their circulars from the years 1914 to 1979 to the Digital History and Archives team at the Federal Reserve Bank of …

Applying Systems Thinking To Navigate The Global Regulatory Complexity Problem For Post-Approval Changes, Emma Ramnarine, Anders Vinther

Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science

The complex global problem of managing post-approval changes (PACs) and its significant constraint on manufacturers’ agility to continuously improve and address supply chain challenges has been known for over two decades. Attempts to solve the problem so far have not been successful, partly because this has been treated as a complicated and not a complex problem.

Data from over 145,000 PACs across 156 countries reveals the severity of the issue; a global PAC rarely receives unanimous global approval within the World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended review timeline of six months. This leads to a significant time lag between the acquisition of …

Lessons Learned From Covid-19 Is An Opportunity To Reduce Drug Shortages - Vision And Practical Solutions, Anders Vinther

Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science

The COVID-19 crisis has demonstrated that the global regulatory framework for managing post- approval changes (PACs) is not capable of handling a pandemic. Emergency procedures have been implemented across the globe to avoid drug shortages. By working drastically differently together, the unimaginable happened: in less than a year, a vaccine was developed, approved, produced and provided to people. In light of these actions, there exists a unique opportunity to retire the old system for managing PACs and replace it with a new agile and patient-centric approach built on lessons learned from the global pandemic response. This new approach must be …

The Ongoing Journey Of The One Voice Of Quality For Post-Approval Changes (1vq For Pac) Initiative, Anders Vinther, Emma Ramnarine

Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science

Since 2018, the Chief Quality Officers (CQOs) of the top 25 pharma companies have spoken with one voice of quality on the topic of post-approval changes (1VQ for PAC Initiative). The 1VQ for PAC Initiative has developed practical approaches to significantly reduce the complexity of the global PAC regulatory framework. This current framework poses a risk to the supply of products to patients, as it drastically slows innovation and continual improvement. The CQOs built on an opportunity from the ICH Q10 Guideline to earn regulatory flexibility, allowing management of more PACs in the Pharmaceutical Quality System (PQS) only …

"Give 'Em Something To Talk About: Love, Generosity, And Wonder In The Portrait Of The Artist Workshop", Florence Gonsalves, Matthew Vollmer

Journal of Creative Writing Studies

This article argues for the employment of an alternative approach to the traditional writing workshop model called “Portrait of the Artist” (POTA). First, we acknowledge the historical and theoretical underpinnings of the dominant Iowa model, and engage with scholars who practice pedagogies that challenge the “gag-rule.” Second, we introduce POTA, which dismantles and reimagines the foundations of a traditional creative writing workshop by emphasizing curiosity rather than suspicion, dialogue rather than imposed silence, process over product, and person over piece. The outcomes lead us to conclude that POTA workshops are necessary, especially for marginalized student-writers most harmed by antiquated practices …

Creative Writing In A University Bridging Program For Underprivileged Stem Students, Glen Retief, Yolandi Woest, Nosipho Mthethwa

Journal of Creative Writing Studies

Underprivileged and additional-language students struggle to access university-level STEM instruction in English. Yet efforts to bridge academic readiness gaps often founder on ineffective instructional approaches. This study used student questionnaires and writing sample comparisons to investigate the impact of weekly creative writing lessons on students enrolled in a STEM-focused, university bridging program for high school students in the Black working-class township of Mamelodi, South Africa. Our tentative results suggest that creative writing teaching may have a significant role in building confidence, written communication skills, intellectual community, and improved program retention. However, further research is needed.

Analysis Of Narrative Arcs Of College Writers’ Creative Writing: Implications For Engaging Creative Writing Across The Curriculum, Justin Nicholes

Journal of Creative Writing Studies

Creative writing across the curriculum (CWAC) represents one especially meaningful college-writing experience in various settings in higher education (Nicholes “Creative Writing across the Curriculum”; Creative Writing across the Curriculum; Hanauer “Meaningful Literacy”). To further understand experiences of CWAC from the perspective of student authors, this study linguistically examined two sets of texts from undergraduate writers: 221 works of creative nonfiction (CNF) and 43 works of science fiction prototyping (SFP), composed in first-year and advanced writing courses at one predominantly White, public Midwest US polytechnic university. LIWC-22 was utilized to produce descriptive statistics characterizing the narrative arcs typical in each …
