This study aimed to analyze the H-index, a marker of academic productivity, of plastic surgeons in the United States. It found that plastic surgeons who received NIH funding had significantly higher average H-indices than those who did not. H-index increased with higher faculty rank. The top 3 plastic surgery training programs producing the most academic faculty members were NYU-affiliated, Johns Hopkins, and University of Pittsburgh, who also had the highest average H-indices of their surgeons. Programs with the lowest average H-indices were GRMEP/MSU.

This document discusses lessons learned from analyzing data from the MIMIC database. It makes the following key points:
1) While causality cannot be proven with observational data, large datasets like MIMIC can still provide useful insights, especially when multiple studies find consistent results.
2) Single-center databases are limited; collaborating and sharing data across centers expands what can be learned.
3) Reliable research requires transparent and continuous peer review as well as open sharing of data, methods, and findings.
4) Bringing together different experts in data-driven "datathons" can help ensure robust and impactful analyses.

This presentation describes a study to identify key learning points from pediatric resuscitations to guide educational interventions. The study will involve administering a questionnaire after resuscitations to practitioners to identify learning points. A survey will then ask the entire pediatric emergency department staff about the identified learning points to see which topics they have low comfort levels with and want more education on. The goals are to gear educational interventions towards clinically relevant and engaging topics. The study has received IRB approval and data collection started in November 2013, with analysis planned for June 2014 and publication by December 2014. Feedback is requested on how to best extract relevant data, perform statistical analysis, and develop educational interventions.
This document provides an overview of case studies, including:
- A case study involves the collection of detailed information about a particular situation from a participant or small group.
- Case studies can focus on individuals, communities, social groups, organizations, or events.
- There are four main types of case studies: evaluative, educational, ethnographic, and action research.
- Case studies are useful for learning as they allow participants to engage actively, develop analytical skills, and consider different outcomes. However, the data from a single case study may not be generalizable to the wider population.

This document discusses the role of solution-oriented research in developing and implementing transformational solutions for water sustainability. It argues that water systems are complex and designing effective solutions requires enhanced research capacities, as professional experience alone is not always sufficient and solutions can fail or have unintended consequences. Solution-oriented research produces evidence on best practices, sustainable water supplies, effective conservation measures, fair water distribution, and more. It outlines a framework involving problem analysis, strategy design and testing with monitoring and evaluation, and goal visioning to develop solutions. The document provides examples of how to test, select, coordinate, reach agreement on, evaluate, and teach solutions. It discusses the Decision Center for a Desert City's past and future agenda on solution-oriented

The overarching goal of Action Research (AR) is to collaborate with stakeholders and
participants in an effort to empower and effect social change. AR can be considered a
continuum ranging from appreciative inquiry to pure participatory research: appreciative
and cooperative inquiry (Heron, 1996; Reason & Rowan, 1981, Stowell & West, 1991,
Torbert, 1976, 2004), action research or action science (Argyris, 1970, 1980, 1994; Argyris,
Putnam, & Smith, 1985), participatory action research (Freire, 1970), and participatory
research (Lewin,1958). The common factor is that the participants or subjects are directly
involved in the research activities and the project solves a practice or problem that impacts
the participants (Springer, 2007).

Pandemic Preparedness Results and Recommendations.pdfbkbk37
This chapter discusses the findings and recommendations from a study on pandemic preparedness. The study used a cohort study design to assess preparedness levels in local hospitals. A questionnaire was administered to emergency management coordinators to collect data on facility planning, workforce capacity, and surge capacity. Qualitative data was also collected through interviews. The results showed both strengths and limitations in pandemic plans and capacity. Recommendations include continued planning and identification of gaps to improve readiness for future pandemics.
The document discusses key concepts related to sampling and research design including:
1) It defines a sample as a subset of a population used to gain information about the whole, while sampling is the process of selecting a suitable representative sample.
2) Random sampling allows each unit an equal chance of selection, while non-random sampling relies on the researcher's judgment.
3) A good research design considers philosophical assumptions, methods, data collection, analysis, writing, and publication.
The 3-day workshop aimed to develop a framework for operationalizing the concept of resilience. Participants struggled to develop indicators and found resilience difficult to define in static terms. Alternative approaches were discussed, focusing on processes, temporal scales, and defining interventions based on resilience characteristics rather than assets. Ultimately, a new framework was created using concepts from disaster risk reduction, climate adaptation, and sustainable development to guide programming toward resilient communities. Further field testing is needed to evaluate its usefulness.
This document discusses qualitative research methods and the research process. It defines research and outlines its key characteristics such as being empirical, logical, cyclical, analytical, methodical, and replicable. The document describes different types of research including basic, applied, and developmental research. It also discusses the various steps involved in the research process, from identifying a problem to collecting and analyzing data. Finally, it covers important issues in research ethics like informed consent and protecting vulnerable participants.

Modern Philosophy and Climate Change.pptxAdam Briggle
Part 1 of a 2 part series on the root causes of climate change. This part introduces the question and then develops a problem-oriented way to understand climate change.
Introduction to Carbon Dioxide RemovalAdam Briggle
This document discusses carbon dioxide removal as a means of addressing climate change. It notes that all pathways to limiting global warming to 1.5°C involve the use of carbon dioxide removal techniques to compensate for remaining emissions and achieve net negative emissions. Specifically, it will require removing 100-1000 gigatons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere this century. However, large-scale deployment of carbon dioxide removal poses feasibility and sustainability challenges. Near-term emissions reductions can help limit required removal to a few hundred gigatons without relying heavily on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage. The document outlines natural carbon dioxide removal methods like afforestation as well as technological approaches.
We examine climate justice as the explicit framing of climate change as an ethical and political issue. We first look at justice broadly, then environmental justice, and then climate justice. We conclude with a question about justice as degrowth or green growth.
28. Climate Change: Ethics and Collective Action ProblemsAdam Briggle
We explore climate ethics through the lens of collective action problems. We discuss Garret Hardin's "The Tragedy of the Commons" and two critiques of that seminal essay. We then wrap up by looking at Project Drawdown.
27. Joe Biden: Fracking and Climate ChangeAdam Briggle
This lecture looks at fracking and its development during Biden's term as VP and then takes a big picture overview of Biden's climate plan as a Presidential candidate.
26. Climate Change: Deregulation, Energy Dominance, and the Trump AdministrationAdam Briggle
I make the case that the Trump Administration lacks a climate change platform (other than ignoring, denying, or downplaying its importance). I then argue that this is because climate change has no place in its story about the American way of life. We look at this story with a focus on the central pillars of deregulation and energy dominance, where 'energy' means fossil fuels. Finally, we discuss how this is not ecomodernism.
We look at the idea of widescale electrification of the economy as a major climate policy framework and solution. We put this in the context of the Standards, Investments, and Justice "new consensus" on climate policy.
23. Climate Change: Carbon Pricing and BeyondAdam Briggle
We look at a new Renaissance in climate policy among the US left - a shift from making carbon more expensive to making green energy cheaper. This is a shift from narrow pricing tactics to an overarching industrial policy.
21. Climate Change: The Paris Climate AgreementAdam Briggle
The document discusses the history and key elements of the Paris Climate Agreement. It outlines that the UNFCCC was formed in 1992 to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions and avoid dangerous climate change. Major milestones include the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and 2015 Paris Agreement, where countries agreed to limit warming to 1.5-2°C. The Paris Agreement established long-term temperature goals, national emissions reduction plans, frameworks for finance/support, and transparency measures, but current country pledges are still insufficient to meet its targets. In 2019, the US withdrew from the agreement.
In this lecture, we survey the main kinds of climate policy options and then discuss how we might go about selecting the best ones. This is a general introduction to climate policies, which will be explored in more details in the following lectures.
19. Climate Change: Climate change and capitalismAdam Briggle
This document examines climate change from an economics perspective and discusses different views on capitalism and climate change. It outlines that something started happening around 400 years ago with the rise of capitalism, growing productivity, and consumption. However, a finite planet may not be able to sustain an economic system premised on endless growth. Some argue radical systemic change is needed, while others believe issues can be addressed by fixing externalities like putting a price on carbon emissions. The document also discusses John Locke's views on property and the environment.
In this talk we first step into a doomsday worldview about climate change and make the case for that perspective. Then we step outside of that perspective to reflect on worldviews and climate change.
16. Climate Change: Media, climate, and cancel cultureAdam Briggle
In this lecture, we look at the balancing act between rights-defending and truth-telling when it comes to media representation of views about climate change.
15. Climate Change: Climate politics as propagandaAdam Briggle
Here we wrap up our third theory of climate politics, which emphasizes the role of powerful and rich interests groups (the carbon industrial complex). We use "Merchants of Doubt" and other resources to develop a certain Realpolitik of climate change.
14. Climate Change: Climate politics as paradoxAdam Briggle
This lecture examines another theory about the persistence of controversies in climate politics, despite growing scientific research. We develop a theory, evaluate it, and compare it to other ways of picturing the politics of climate change.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
