The Research in Librarianship Impact Evaluation Project (RiLIES - pronounced 'realise') completed in August 2011 explored the extent to which funded librarianship research projects influence library practice in the UK. Of particular interest in the findings are the factors that increase or hinder the impact or project outcomes on practice.
This presentation, delivered at Online 2011, relates the main findings of the project related to: the relationship between the library and information science research and practitioner communities; how researchers can improve the impact of their research with careful attention to how projects are planned, conceived, implemented and reported; organisational factors that support the development of a receptive audience for research output.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path
Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

2. CONTENT OFTHIS PRESENTATION
• Background to the project and how it was done
• Summary of findings - positive and negative impact patterns
• Limitations of the project
• Our reflections
• 11.15 - 12 – presentation and feedback
• 12.20 – 13.00 facilitated discussion
3. BACKGROUNDTOTHE PROJECT
• We would describe JLA model as ‘well described but under evaluated’
• Commonly asked question about JLA PSPs is ‘What is the impact of the priorities on research?’ – do we
know?
• We were curious to know and understand better the impacts of JLA PSPs
• Funded and supported byTrish Greenhalgh NIHR Biomedical Research Centre, Oxford.
• Oxford has a strong history with the origins of the JLA and has hosted many JLA PSPs
National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre Oxford Grant BRC-1215-20008 to the Oxford University
Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Oxford.
4. JAMES LIND ALLIANCE (JLA)
• Main purpose to agree shared research priorities for research by using a
process that is inclusive, equitable, transparent and evidence based
• Conception in 2003 – constant evolution and refinement – move from
independent status to part of the Wessex Institute
• @ 2020 over 100 completed Priority Setting Partnerships (PSP)
• Average about 14 completing a year
• International profile (Canada – satellite) Europe, Africa and Australia
5. PRIMARY AUDIENCE FORTHE REPORT
• Main audience for this report is past, present and future PSPs.We hope the lessons
learnt will help PSPs with the work that happens after the JLA process has concluded,
and could usefully inform future evaluations
• BUT the findings from this project have implications for many other health and research
organisations, as impact it is not the sole responsibility of the JLA and PSPs
• Thanks to the Impact Coffee Club for being interested in our work and providing an
opportunity to share our findings!
6. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
• Identify examples of success and develop case studies to explore how
researchers and funders were positively influenced in each case
• Identify challenges and tensions in the use of JLA PSP priorities by
researchers and funders and how these have been addressed
• Explore what practical approaches could be taken to maximise the impact of
PSPs, both during the process as well as after identifying aTop 10 list of priority
topics
7. PROJECT METHODS AND APPROACH
• Convened an Advisory Group (met twice)
• 20 interviews conducted in Spring 2019. Included; PSP leads, a funding manager,
researchers & patients. PSP leads reflected different organisations such as charities,
universities and patient groups, some of which funded research
• Interviews taped, transcribed and analysed by Kristina and Sally. Findings and themes
developed using ‘illuminative evaluation’ approach
• Draft report checked with interviewees, collaborators and funders
• Final report agreed and launched in Sept 2019
8. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
• Narrative rather than quantitative findings, we tried to avoid notions of ‘success’ and
‘failure’ of JLA PSPs
• There are PSPs that have real impact on research funding – and there are PSPs that
don’t – a mixed picture from our sample.
• People often assume ‘impact’ is only about getting a prioritised research project funded
– we found that this impact takes many forms
• Impact is also about the people and organisations associated with a JLA PSP
9. PATTERNS LINKED WITH POSITIVE IMPACTS ON
RESEARCH
• When the culture and values of a PSP lead organisation (charities or universities)
matched those of the JLA, then they made change happen. For example they:
• integrated PSP priorities into their research strategy - MS PSP
• funded projects that addressed Top 10 priorities - Multiple Sclerosis, Autism,Tinnitus,
Palliative and End of Life Care PSPs
• took ownership of the Top 10, and responsibility for promoting them and tracking
progress - Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss PSP
• mapped the current research landscape to prioritise amongst the priorities – Palliative
and End of Life Care PSP
10. PATTERNS LINKEDTO POSITIVE IMPACTS ON
RESEARCH
• Where a culture of collaboration developed post-PSP (distinct from the usual
competition), lead organisations worked together and with international partners to jointly
develop research projects and encouraged researchers to do the same. MS,Autism, Sight Loss
andVision,Type 2 Diabetes PSPs
• Where a tight-knit research community was small, well-networked, communicative and
in need of recognition, they respected and responded to JLA PSP priorities. Stillbirth PSP
• Where there was a ‘champion’ (who had power, influence and skills), they advocated for
the Top 10 with researchers and funders - Tinnitus PSP
11. BROADER POSITIVE IMPACTS - ORGANISATIONS
• More public involvement in research culture and processes. Childhood Disability PSP
• More collaboration within different parts of the same organisation, across organisations in
the same field. Diabetes and MS PSPs
• Increased profile and credibility of organisations that lead and undertake PSPs. Lyme
Disease PSP
• Increased profile of the health area. Stillbirth PSP
12. BROADER POSITIVE IMPACTS - PEOPLE
Clinicians
• Change in clinical practice, skills development, informing their own areas of research,
career progression, raised profile.
Patients
• Change in PPI practice, personal empowerment, skills development, restored
confidence, further commitment to research.
13. PATTERNS LINKEDTO NO IMPACT ON RESEARCH
• Priorities that addressed ‘contested areas’ of health research. For example where
patients’ views of a condition differ from clinical perspectives, or where research is not
trusted. Lyme Disease,Autism PSPs
• Where there was limited ownership of priorities – or the topic didn’t ‘belong’ to
anyone/group in particular. Cellulitis PSP
• Lack of dedicated resource to support follow-up work post PSP e.g. following on
from the collaboration led by Parkinson’s UK, on the shared priority topic of
incontinence.
14. PATTERNS LINKEDTO NO IMPACT ON RESEARCH
• Tensions around priorities that do not fit with the culture and values of the
researchers’ or funders’ organisations.
• Where JLA PSPs outputs aren’t ‘innovative’,‘new’ or ‘fashionable’.
• Limited research capacity to respond to JLA PSP priorities.
15. LIMITATIONS
• Not a systematic review – we didn’t access all PSPs, but a selection chosen to reflect the
range of different topics and contexts for PSPs
• Unable to answer the extent to which a JLA PSP priority influences funding and
researchers decisions, and if so how?
• Unable to answer if the JLA (since its inception) has created an observable change over
time in terms of the numbers of projects addressing JLA PSP priorities that are being
funded
16. OUR REFLECTIONS
• Kristina and Sally have both invested and benefited professionally and personally from
working on, and with the JLA (PSPs).We do this work with commitment to its purpose.
• We conclude that the JLA, which was created to challenge the status quo of research
portfolios and to introduce the concept of shared research agendas, has been an impetus
to getting more research done in some health areas.
17. OUR REFLECTIONS
• There continues to be tension in who decides what is the ‘right’ question to research, and
often trade offs between questions that are relevant and useful to patients and clinicians, and
those that are amenable to researching using current methods.The culture of many research
institutions tends to prioritise scientific rigor and reliability of evidence over relevance and
utility of the findings.
• We believe there must be a continued focus on learning from past and current JLA PSPs about
how best to achieve impact and exploration of the wider impacts beyond research, especially
as the JLA model itself continues to evolve.
