Papers written in a school paper style are frequently rejected. As a matter of fact, this is probably the most common reason for rejection at the time of receipt in the editorial office. Because, school paper problems are obvious on a quick review by the editor, many manuscripts with this problem are rejected outright by the editor. Because a school paper style is very different from most publication styles, the author of a rejected manuscript must take considerable time for a major revision. In addition, when the author does not understand the difference in the publication style and believes her or his work is good because of good grades in school, the author can resent the rejection or request for revision.

The article reports on a paper to be published by "The Journal of Personaity and Social Psychology" to give strong evidence for extrasensory perception (ESP).

The article offers information on a new working paper from the American Council on Education (ACE) that could help student aid leaders and college administrators in developing conflict of interest policies and procedures in the U.S. The report also aims to help universities and colleges improve their ethical institutional practices. It proposes basic principles and identifies questions and criteria to guide the evaluation of policies and situations that may raise ethical concerns. In addition, it provides questions and considerations to help guide institutional review.

The article reports on the move by student aid officers to oppose plans to use an auction to decide student loan terms and subsidy rates in the U.S. In a new discussion paper, the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) stated that the new auction system for parent PLUS loans could result in fewer borrower benefits and higher costs. According to Justin Draeger, NASFAA assistant director for communications, the said system could reduce competition and increase taxpayer costs. Moreover, the program will auction parent PLUS loans to the student loan providers that take the lowest subsidy rate from the federal government for the right to be a state's exclusive loan originator.

The article discusses the key findings from the report "Estimating the Influence of Financial Aid on Student Retention," conducted by Serge Herzog, director of institutional analysis at the University of Nevada in Reno (UNR). The study indicates that students from higher-income families are more likely to persist in college when provided with grants or scholarships compared with their low-income peers who also receive such aid. Herzog also found that academic success had a greater role on retention for needier students than student aid.

The article reports that Stark State College of Technology used OnBase, a document imaging software from Hyland Software Inc. in the school registrar in Ohio. Originally, the school used microfiche in gathering important documents within the school. However, after Hyland introduced their imaging system, the school administration realized that this imaging system is useful to the school than microfiche. After Hyland installed the initial components of the imaging system the school administrator added e-mail and virtual scanning. Lisa Kasunic, the school registrar, emphasized that this imaging system would allow her staff to make a clear copy of the students transcripts as well as the document adress changes.

The risk assessment of two kinds of wastewaters from a hardboard mill were determined by acute toxicity tests. Three different bioindicators -- water fleas from a local stream (Daphnia pulex), local fish hatchery specimens (Salmo gairdneri), and a bacterial test (Vibrio fischeri Microtox test) were considered. The three tests showed a wide range of sensitivities and presented different but compatible LC{sub}50{end}/EC{sub}50{end} values, with S. gairdneri being the most sensitive. The obtained toxicity values could serve as a reference to evaluate the toxicity of wastewater from this type of industries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

"My presence at the museum and the exhibitions and events we've done have been impactful for our students who feel a sense of ownership and pride over what they see when they come into the museum", says Powell. Also, on a recent trip, she gave a talk at the Heard Museum in Phoenix and also researched an upcoming show on photographer Cara Romero, of whose work Powell is planning a solo exhibition in 2025. Over the past few years Powell's research has focused on exhibition work, including the Form and Relation show, which featured the work of six contemporary indigenous ceramic artists.

The Department of Defense (DOD) is facing the challenge of maintaining troop readiness and sustainable operations while reducing potential environmental impacts and operational costs. This is occurring while public encroachment around the installations and regulatory restrictions grows, further restricting DOD's ability to operate and train. DOD is looking to incorporate environmental accountability into day-to-day and future activities at their installations while maintaining a focus on the installations' core missions. The President issued Executive Order (EO) 13148 in April 2000 to address these challenges through the development and implementation of Environmental Management Systems (EMSs). The partnering of base personnel, suppliers, and test/training personnel to develop and grow an EMS can overcome these challenges while maintaining a focus on the overall mission of the military and the development of new munitions. This paper focuses on the support role of Textron Systems Corporation (TSC), a munitions supplier to DOD, and lessons learned from the application of EMS at our plants and DOD test ranges. This paper also explores common challenges among TSC and DOD, and our effective solutions to the challenges. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The increased cost and potential confusion of dual chamber pacing systems are only justified by the improved quality of life and hemodynamic benefits available to recipients of these units. This presupposes, however, that the system is functioning properly, that P waves are properly sensed, and that atrial stimuli, when released, are effective. Confirmation of ventricular capture and sensing is not without its occasional difficulties, yet it is an order of magnitude easier than is confirmation of atrial capture, particularly in dual unipolar pacing systems. The large stimulus artifact followed by an RC decay curve associated with the afterpotential as recorded with the usual electrocardiograph machine may obscure the relatively diminutive electrocardiographic representation of atrial depolarization. When not visualized in any of the standard bipolar and unipolar lead systems, then Lewis leads and esophageal leads, echocardiography, phonocardiography, and other recording techniques may all aid in the confirmation of atrial capture. However, these require additional equipment, expense, and time. They may not be immediately available when the patient is seen in follow-up and the need to do something extra may induce in the patient additional psychological fear that the system is not functioning properly. Although one commonly performs the follow-up evaluation while monitoring only a single electrocardiographic lead, if atrial capture is not visualized in that lead, a careful assessment of all 12 standard leads will usually identify one in which capture can be confirmed. However, in approximately 10% of cases, a P wave will not be seen, mandating other studies. This paper reviews many of the programming techniques that permit confirmation of atrial capture without having to resort to other diagnostic tests or complex and potentially invasive procedures. For the remainder of this paper, it will be assumed that P waves were not visualized in any of the standard electrocardiographic leads. The illustrations designed to demonstrate other features that permit deduction of atrial capture, however, may also show visible P waves, since not all of the figures were obtained from patients with this specific problem. Table I lists the programmable parameters that are needed in this endeavor, either in combination or alone. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper focuses on the production steps of article. As an author, a person spends many hours researching, writing and revising the manuscript, with the goal of having the paper accepted for publication. Once this arduous process has been accomplished and the author has received the acceptance, most authors can relax and wait to see their typeset article. There are many different steps used in the production process to prepare the article for printing. Once the acceptance process has been completed, most journal editors schedule the article for a specific future issue.

The article reports that black feminist and novelist Ntozake Shange has donated her archival collection of papers on the issues and themes of race and feminism to the Barnard College in New York. Topics covered include Shange's connection with the college including her exposure to the black student movement and activism, the collection's benefits to students, and the items included in the archive including copies of the handmade literary journal "Phat Mama."

I As of March 1, 2020 i College Majors and the Gender Wage Gap The Becker Friedman Institute recently released a working paper that found "that women today still choose college majors associated with lower potential wages than men." Some professors and instructors and schools have been supportive of letting students claim their own personal pronouns, while others have refused to use students' personal pronouns altogether. New York University now allows students to list their own pronouns in the registration system, so the pronouns will appear on the class roster. [Extracted from the article]

C.H. Guernsey & Company (GUERNSEY) has played a key role in the Department of Defense Utility Privatization Initiative. This paper will provide a brief overview of the privatization initiative, environmental issues, and GUERNSEY's role in privatization. The presentation will outline the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and the Environmental Baseline Survey (EBS) process as they relate specifically to the privatization of utilities. GUERNSEY has identified several key elements necessary for successful completion of the environmental documentation that supports the privatization of utilities. Successful privatization projects depend heavily on communicating with the client, educating the client about how the environmental needs relate to the privatization process, and coordinating/interacting with the client from the beginning phases of scope generation to the delivery of the final documents. Environmental stewardship is also a must. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adopting the Department of the Army (DA) “installation” EMS policy guidance to a key DA Acquisition Program, the Program Manager for Chemical Demilitarization (PMCD), in conjunction with the U.S. Army Center for Health Promotion and Preventive Medicine (USACHPPM) undertook an initiative to use the ISO 14001 framework for the EMS at chemical demilitarization facilities. The Pine Bluff Chemical Agent Disposal Facility (PBCDF) was selected as the pilot facility for this EMS initiative. This paper presents a case study of the EMS implementation at the PBCDF; PMCD remote monitoring of the PBCDF EMS implementation effort using the Equation ASP software; and external ISO 14001 conformance validation of the PBCDF EMS by USACHPPM's Registrar Accreditation Board (RAB)-certified EMS auditors. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

During production and maintenance operations at the Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC), industrial wastewater streams are generated which contain organic compounds (primarily phenol and methylene chloride). These streams result from both direct and indirect contact with organic compounds via chemical depainting operations, chemical cleaning processes, and electroplating operations. Organic materials in the combined wastewater are treated at the on-site industrial wastewater treatment facility (IWTF) with unit processes including open surface basins. Some of these treatment processes result in the release of semi-volatile and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the wastewater to the ambient air. Because emitted VOCs can create potential health risks for treatment facility workers and the general public in the immediate surrounding areas, Tinker AFB is required to quantify (and report) VOCs released into the atmosphere. Such regulatory reporting can encompass identifying VOC emission sources, estimating emissions from the IWTF, quantifying ambient air concentrations surrounding the facility via dispersion modeling, and evaluating computer-generated numerical concentration estimates with respect to discontinuous field data and an open-path optical remote monitoring system. The focus of this paper is to identify and quantify health risks associated with phenol and methylene chloride releases surrounding the IWTF. The risk assessment will include calculation of an equivalent human dose (based on animal mortality studies), the maximum risk for individuals in the general population, excess number of cases of cancer, the average excess number of cases of cancer generated per year, and loss of life expectancy for the general population. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In 1996, the U.S. Army's guidelines for management of red-cockaded woodpeckers were revised to reduce training restrictions and promote recovery. These seemingly opposed objectives in fact turned out to be mutually supportive. The type of open pine forest that constitutes good red-cockaded woodpecker habitat also provides visibility and maneuver freedom that is suitable for many types of military training. Training restrictions have not been shown to be particularly important in promoting expansion of red-cockaded woodpecker populations, but they are certainly a disincentive to installation commanders who must balance the requirement to comply with the Endangered Species Act (ESA) with the requirement to train soldiers to fight and win wars. This paper describes the circumstances that led to the revision of the Army's guidelines, the approach that was used, and a summary of the important changes between the former and the new management guidelines. Population trend data are also presented, and show that red-cockaded woodpecker populations on Army lands are increasing, suggesting that the new guidelines are beneficial. Furthermore, all Army installations with adequate forested acreage are vigorously pursuing continued population growth to achieve recovery. Lessons learned from the process of revising the Army's approach to red-cockaded woodpecker management are likely to have applications for other species, particularly on military lands. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Many nurse authors and editors are involved in the production of newsletter publications for their hospital, health-care organization, or association. It is a labor-intensive job that can be very rewarding; however, all publications have problems that arise like no articles, poorly written ones, need for extensive editing, copyright contents, and the administrative details of typing, typesetting, selecting paper and ink, missed deadlines, typos, or publication of the wrong names or titles. These problems occur because of the need to rely on staff to write the articles, poor administrative planning, recruitment of authors who may have never written before and multiple jobs for editors and nurses who are already overloaded with work.

In the article, the author shares her perspectives on the newsletter development process with a focus on the all-important design aspects. Developing an in-house newsletter requires making a considerable number of decisions to develop the right design for publication. In-house publication means one is the publisher as well as editor of the newsletter. The article presents steps that would guide a nurse or medical professionals in deciding on size, paper selection, print specifications, banner, and other design elements for publishing. According to the author, when one is a publisher, he is responsible for the project outcome, so he should put his nursing skills into practice for the good of entire organization.

The article features the "Project for A Dream of Urbanity," a photograph artwork of Roderick Coyne. It is a single landscape photograph projected on two adjacent walls with right angle deforming and shaping the image. The image formed is in black and white negative creating a half-tone patina and the shadows thrown across the projection has been printed onto photographic paper. Moreover, the artwork features a discrete image to an overt end in the photographic process.

The article focuses on Slavoj Žižek's utilization of Jacques Lacan's strategies and concepts in his paper "The Enlightenment of Laibach." The vital significance is said to be on Žižek's emphasis on the sinthome or the "symptom," the thought formulated by Lacan. Žižek's other works and its philosophical ideologies are also discussed.

The article provides the author's concepts on drawing. He believes that a subject becomes a drawing when words cannot represent it and a drawing must have a firmness that transcends the uncertainties of its creator. He expresses that art must carry the sinopia of a hero. He asserts that, in drawing, the passions rise from the paper through the point of the pencil in the artist's hand.

The purpose of this paper is to present a progress report on the subject of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and to review the experimental and clinical studies published since my earlier review of this subject in 1971. The vast number of studies related to VF makes it virtually impossible to include more than a fraction of the information published during the past 13 years. By necessity, the choice of references is arbitrary and favors the aspects discussed in the earlier review. My apology goes to the numerous investigators whose work is not included or is insufficiently emphasized in this review. The format of this article follows the order of subjects in the previous report but the previously listed references are not repeated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Temporary ventricular pacing has been described since 1957 and the use of the temporary endocardial electrode was first described by Furman in 1958. Since the late 1960s, temporary pacing has been a part of the cardiologist's therapeutic armamentarium. It has been used in a wide variety of ventricular and atrial brady- and tachyarrhythmias. The most common form has been ventricular pacing, generally in the setting of heart block complicating acute myocardial infarction. However, temporary atrial and AV pacing has been used with increasing frequency in the intensive care units in association with a multipurpose Swan-Ganz catheter, and there has been a marked increase recently in the use of temporary epicardial leads following open heart surgery. The use of atrial as well as ventricular epicardial leads has led to a greatly enhanced awareness of the hemodynamic and antiarrhythmic benefits of ‘physiologic’ pacing, i.e., maintaining AV synchrony under all pacing conditions. Because of advances in electrode design, improvement in venous access techniques, and most recently, the development of a multiprogrammable microprocessor-based pulse generator, temporary as well as permanent physiologic pacing is not only possible but practical and easily accomplished. This paper will describe in detail: • Newer venous access techniques, particularly in the subclavian and jugular routes • The new temporary atrial and ventricular electrode systems and their method of insertion • The adaptation of these temporary electrode systems to the new ‘universal’ or permanent DDD pacing systems. ‘ Indications for use.

While authors are ultimately responsible to ensure that reference citations are correct, nurse editors and reviewers can use practical strategies to detect errors before publication. Reference errors are not innocuous. Reference and quotation errors prolong the time needed to find a reference, damage an author's reputation, weaken a journal's credibility, disrespect the primary paper's authors, and undermine clinical and research nursing literature. Furthermore, authors promulgate errors when they copy an inaccurate citation without verifying its content with the primary source.

Authors, reviewers and editors all have a stake in ethical issues related to preparing a manuscript for publication. Authors have multiple responsibilities including reporting the source of information, avoiding conflict of interest and assuring accuracy of data being reported. Reviewers have responsibilities for checking accuracy of manuscript content, maintaining confidentiality of the content being reviewed and avoiding conflict of interest in the review process. The paper focuses on the ethical issue of authorship accountability in preparing manuscripts for publication.

The paper focuses on the development of an article's focus. An article with a unique, timely focus is one that the author can write relatively easily, the reviewer recommends as a high-priority acceptance and the editor considers as a "feature" article. Successful author spend considerable time developing the article's focus before writing. The author of this article, an experienced editor and author, distinguishes between an article's category, topic and focus. The author of this article provides guidelines that authors can use to develop a manuscript's focus, the reviewer can use to recommend revisions, and the editor can use to determine what to delete to tighten a manuscript to the primary focus.

The article presents tips given to teachers, by the author, on helping undergraduate students get their practical and publishable ideas into print. These techniques have helped her guide students in writing successful professional and community publications. According to the author, think of the students as potential authors and share that vision with them. Talk about others' publishing successes. Set up course requirements for papers in a way that is likely to result in a manuscript draft. Requirements should focus on content, organization and style, including correct grammar.

The article provides tips to overcome writer's blocks. Writer's block seems pervasive in nursing. Perhaps this is because the exposure to writing in nursing school was limited to term paper style writing. The article offers ways to overcome common blocks to writing. To start with, writers should have confidence in themselves, avoid delay techniques, determine the best time of day to write, find a place to write, break the process into small manageable tasks and set a due date for each task; and reward oneself after each step of the writing process.

The article presents news related to copyright infringement. Cheating in high school and college has apparently become common even among high-performing students. One form of cheating is to submit a paper containing material not written by the student. The Internet has made this easier to accomplish. back. Glatt Plagiarism Services (www.plagiarism. com) offers them assistance in detecting plagiarism. However, Glatt does much more than that. Their Web site also taps the student market by providing instruction on self-screen ing of papers, how to avoid plagiarism, and how to rewrite when inadvertent plagiarism is detected.

The article presents information about the "Journal of Advanced Nursing," a Blackwell Publishing publication. It aims to inform, educate, explore, debate, and challenge the foundations of nursing health care knowledge and practice worldwide. The journal is a combination of scholarly papers covering a broad range of all aspects of nursing care, nursing education, management, and research. Published fortnightly, the Journal of Advanced Nursing is aimed at the intermediate and advanced nurse, and publishes research papers, news, and book reviews.

The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses policy is to keep the complete development files and all production documentation on any printed product as long as product is in circulation, which means that it is available for sale or free to members. This policy is based on the recommendation of legal counsel. The process includes several steps. Immediately following the publication of a journal issue, editors go through the paper files for each article in that issue. The paper files are stored by issue date.

The article presents discussions on an overview that students can write successfully for publication when the teacher provides appropriate guidelines, builds confidence, and rewards all efforts. Publication format differs from term paper format, therefore it is essential to clarify, the assignments for the students. In a cooperative learning situation, students suggest ways of helping each other. The teachers need to encourage them to bring in author guidelines from journals with which they are familiar and to store these in a folder in an accessible place.

The article focuses on developing manuscript review skills so as to give positive criticism to the author without making personal or professional attacks on him or her. An editorial board member or an occasional ad hoc reviewer for a journal is responsible for making reasoned, informed critiques of papers submitted for publication. The article provides a list of certain guidelines and comments meant to sharpen awareness of how can one be critical in a manuscript review without remarks being offensive to the author.

The article presents tips on writing a research based manuscript. Written communication of research in the form of a journal manuscript is an important part of the research process. As with the research process, the task of writing a manuscript can be broken down into specific sections of the paper, introduction, review of literature, methodology, results and discussion. Information related to supporting literature and previous research findings is usually found in three areas of a research manuscript the introduction, the review of literature section and the discussion.

The article comments on the paper on rethinking identity in times of globalisation by Néstor García Canclini. The author stresses the simultaneous sense of continuity, rupture and hybridisation and that the possibility of the simultaneity might evoke people to assert their claims to cultural and political economy and demand full integration into the modern world. She questions the validity of thinking of tradition, modernity and postmodernity as stages in a temporal sequence.

The article reports on the 2016 "Study of Faculty Worklife at UW-Madison" paper survey used by the Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI) to promote cultural change. Study highlights include increase in tenured and tenure-track faculty feeling respected by students, staff, and their chairpersons, the impact of budget cuts on faculty morale, adjustment of WISELI's workshops based on study waves and workshop evaluations.

The article cites a plagiarism case decided by the Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) of the U.S. Department of Education. It states that FPCO received an inquiry as to whether an institution would violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) if college teachers require students to submit their papers to a plagiarism prevention service. FPCO claimed that a university has the right to require students to submit their papers to the screening service before handling them in.

The article offers tips on how to implement online course evaluations to increase student response. It cites the advantages of an online evaluation, which include ease of use, high response rate and efficiency in data delivery. It suggests that one should keep questions on the online evaluation similar to those on paper as well as compare online responses to those on paper. It also recommends that one could address philosophical debates.

The article reports on the steps for the student loan program devised by college aid directors in Seattle, Washington. First, leaders must require input from student aid officers as part of the drafting and releasing process. The draft paper will be discussed by forum leaders regarding the model program and gather opinion from groups like the student aid community, presidential associations and congressional staffers. The paper will then be presented to the congressional education committees and federal funding agencies.

The article focuses on the use of document imaging to cut back on paperwork and reduce file space. Document imaging helps keep Penn State University's (PSU) Office of Student Aid from being inundated by paper. Documents arrive via mail or fax and are logged into the university's administrative system before they're processed. After the mail has been organized, documents are scanned in on a student-by-student basis. Once the scanned image appears on the computer operator's screen, it is indexed according to student identification number and academic year. A code is also entered into the system to denote the type of document scanned. At the PSU's University Park campus, there are two scanning stations, and one full-time staff member and part-time student helpers do the scanning. Unlike student aid, the PSU's undergraduate Admissions Information Systems office does not use the DocFinity software for workflow. Instead, it's used primarily to scan applications. Initially, this meant scanning paper applications, but now they are able to scan online applications, too. INSET: Improved customer service possible with document imaging..

APA-Style Helper® 3.0 is an easy to install software program for Windows or Macintosh operating systems that enables authors and students to write papers according to American Psychological Association (APA) style. Although designed to create the paper from start to finish, authors can use this program to format papers that are to be published. In summary, this program helps authors produce a paper according to the APA style. Experienced authors and editors may be better served by using a more comprehensive reference software system that includes other style types and the ability to import references from the computerized reference databases.

It is unethical to send the same manuscript to several journals at once. Most author guidelines say the publisher reviews the article with the understanding that it is submitted only to that journal and is an original unpublished work not under consideration by any one else. Duplicate review of a paper is acceptable only if all editors know they are reviewing the same paper and decide to do it, all the peer reviewers know there are other copies of the paper around and decide the topic is so important that the same information should be in many places, and the journal makes the decision to accept it for publication based on the knowledge others have it.
