The period following an emergency that has negatively affected a cultural institution can cause adverse mental health consequences, ranging from shame to grief regarding the status of the collection or how the response was handled. A continuous high stress environment, anxiety from overwork in an uncertain situation, and inability to detach or rest can lead to behavioral health issues. Response to pressure can lead to taking shortcuts or non-compliance with personal safety and lead to further harm to collections. Any of these reactions can be overwhelming and can lead to further neglect of health, safety, and security on the work site, in a demotivating spiral that can affect recovery and successful outcomes for all concerned. This paper covers concepts such as the psychosocial Phases of Disaster, terms used to identify experiences, validate emotional responses, and for incorporating behavioral mental health into collections emergencies training and operations. Case studies and resources for managing mental health including skills and tools to recognize the early signs of stress, encourage communication, avoid or handle triggers, and defuse situations, to help mitigate these problems and lay a foundation for positive outcomes are provided.

Metaldehyde (a synthetic aldehyde pesticide used globally in agriculture) has been internationally identified as an emerging contaminant of concern. This study aimed to integrate existing water industry, publicly available and purchased licensed datasets with the open-access Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), to establish if these datasets could be used to effectively model metaldehyde in river catchments. To achieve the study aim, a SWAT model was developed and calibrated for the River Medway catchment (UK). The results of calibration (1994–2004) and validation (2005–2016) of average daily streamflow (m3/s) showed that the SWAT model could simulate water balance well (P-factor 0.68–0.85 and R-factor 0.54–0.82, NSE 0.42–0.60). Calibration (P-factor 0.72 and R-factor 1.35, NSE 0.31) and validation (P-factor 0.49 and R-factor 1.37, NSE 0.16) for daily soluble metaldehyde (mg active ingredient) load was also satisfactory. The most sensitive pesticide parameters for metaldehyde simulation included the timing and amount of pesticide (kg/ha) applied to the hydrological response units, the pesticide percolation coefficient and pesticide application efficiency. Outputs from this research demonstrate the potential application of SWAT in large complex catchments where routine monitoring is in place, but isn’t designed explicitly for the purpose of predictive modelling. The implications of this, are significant, because they suggest that SWAT could be applied universally to catchments using existing water industry datasets. This would allow more efficient use of historical datasets and would be applicable in situations where resources are not available for additional targeted monitoring programmes.

Engaging with pupils involves listening to pupils about issues that matter to them and that affect their experiences in school. This chapter focuses on outlining ways in which adults in schools can engage with pupils, and the benefits of this for both teachers and pupils. According to J. Flutter and J. Rudduck, ‘pupil participation’ implies the inclusion of pupils within a community in which they are respected contributors and have an active and direct involvement in school matters. Pupil engagement can also take the form of pupils taking on roles as pupil governors and participating in management committees. As well as pupils being listened to verbally, they can also ‘voice’ their opinions through nonverbal means. Creating listening classrooms can support teachers to identify factors that help pupils’ learning and enjoyment of learning, as well as to identify factors that create barriers to learning and that lead to negative school experiences.

With the advancement of technology and the digital era, new forms of displaying and accessing information are prevalent. The literature on the subject of digital visual resources—specifically art images—and copyright reflects a concern about how best to educate the academic community about these issues. Likewise, copyright law is difficult to navigate because of the absence of clearly defined guidelines and legislation. Libraries are left to develop their own interpretations of fair use and other aspects of copyright law. The author provides a brief overview of the literature on the subject of copyright and digital art images and presents a bibliometric study to identify publishing patterns on the subject.

The ever expanding prominence of entrepreneurship as a powerful driver of economic development and growth is undeniable. The entrepreneurship discipline has come a long way since Baumol, Kirzner, and Schumpeter among others, penned some of the influential articles on the subject matter.1 As testament to its importance, entrepreneurship is now represented on a global scale through the Global Entrepreneurship Summit (GES). Starting in 2009, the GES has become one of the most vibrant fora where academics, entrepreneurs, researchers, and policymakers engage in an exchange of ideas, mentoring, and collaboration on various aspects pertinent to entrepreneurship. The sixth annual GES was held on July 25-26, 2015 in Nairobi where the US president gave the keynote speech outlining the drivers, barriers, and benefits of entrepreneurship. One excerpt of his address, which is pertinent to this chapter, was his description of entrepreneurship (The White House, Office of the Press Secretary, 2015, para. 4):Entrepreneurship creates new jobs and new businesses, new ways to deliver basic services, new ways of seeing the world-it’s the spark of prosperity. It helps citizens stand up for their rights and push back against corruption. Entrepreneurship offers a positive alternative to the ideologies of violence and division that can all too often fill the void when young people don’t see a future for themselves.

Background: Social norms posters usually contain a normative message, branding, campaign tagline and sponsoring coalition/contact information. There are limited data on which campaign components promote recognition of Campus Alcohol Coalitions (CAC). Purpose: To determine the most effective media channels/incentives to promote recognition of CAC and if time exposed to social norms campaign influenced students' recognition of CAC. Methods: A quasi-experimental, time-series design was used with stratified random assignment of 21 residence units to one of three intervention groups and assessment of awareness of CAC at four phases. A sample of 838 campus residents completed intercept interviews across four time phases and three residence groups. Results: After introduction of campaign materials, the percentage of students reporting awareness of CAC increased significantly from 25% to 77% and remained high across the later three study phases. Posters/flyers were identified as the major source of CAC i...

Using single-component fits to SDSS/UKIDSS images of galaxies in the G09 region of the GAMA survey we study radial colour gradients across the galaxy population. We use the multiwavelength information provided by MegaMorph analysis of galaxy light profiles to calculate intrinsic colour gradients, and divide into six subsamples split by overall S\'{e}rsic index ($n$) and galaxy colour. We find a bimodality in the colour gradients of high- and low-$n$ galaxies in all wavebands, which varies with overall galaxy luminosity. Global trends in colour gradients therefore result from combining the contrasting behaviour of a number of different galaxy populations. The ubiquity of strong negative colour gradients supports the picture of inside-out growth through gas accretion for blue, low-$n$ galaxies, and through dry minor mergers for red, high-$n$ galaxies. An exception is the blue high-n population, with properties indicative of dissipative major mergers., Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, accepted by A&A

We explore trends in galaxy properties with Mpc-scale structures using catalogues of environment and large-scale structure from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. Existing GAMA catalogues of large-scale structure, group, and pair membership allow us to construct galaxy stellar mass functions for different environmental types. To avoid simply extracting the known underlying correlations between galaxy properties and stellar mass, we create a mass matched sample of galaxies with stellar masses within 9.5 ≤ log M*/h−2 M⊙ ≤ 11 for each environmental population. Using these samples, we show that mass normalized galaxies in different large-scale environments have similar energy outputs, u − r colours, luminosities, and morphologies. Extending our analysis to group and pair environments, we show that galaxies that are not in groups or pairs exhibit similar characteristics to each other regardless of broader environment. For our mass controlled sample, we fail to see a strong dependence of Sérsic index or galaxy luminosity on halo mass, but do find that it correlates very strongly with colour. Repeating our analysis for galaxies that have not been mass controlled introduces and amplifies trends in the properties of galaxies in pairs, groups, and large-scale structure, indicating that stellar mass is the most important predictor of the galaxy properties we examine, as opposed to environmental classifications.

We study how the sizes and radial profiles of galaxies vary with wavelength, by fitting Sersic functions simultaneously to imaging in nine optical and near-infrared bands. To quantify the wavelength dependence of effective radius we use the ratio, $\mathcal{R}$, of measurements in two restframe bands. The dependence of Sersic index on wavelength, $\mathcal{N}$, is computed correspondingly. Vulcani et al. (2014) have demonstrated that different galaxy populations present sharply contrasting behaviour in terms of $\mathcal{R}$ and $\mathcal{N}$. Here we study the luminosity dependence of this result. We find that at higher luminosities, early-type galaxies display a more substantial decrease in effective radius with wavelength, whereas late-types present a more pronounced increase in Sersic index. The structural contrast between types thus increases with luminosity. By considering samples at different redshifts, we demonstrate that lower data quality reduces the apparent difference between the main galaxy populations. However, our conclusions remain robust to this effect. We show that accounting for different redshift and luminosity selections partly reconciles the size variation measured by Vulcani et al. with the weaker trends found by other recent studies. Dividing galaxies by visual morphology confirms the behaviour inferred using morphological proxies, although the sample size is greatly reduced. Finally, we demonstrate that varying dust opacity and disc inclination can account for features of the joint distribution of $\mathcal{R}$ and $\mathcal{N}$ for late-type galaxies. However, dust does not appear to explain the highest values of $\mathcal{R}$ and $\mathcal{N}$. The bulge-disc nature of galaxies must also contribute to the wavelength-dependence of their structure., 14 pages, 11 figures, accepted by MNRAS; v2 corrected to match journal version

Age-related declines in auditory and vestibular function are becoming more prevalent and better understood. The personal and societal impact of these disorders is impressive, and present techniques of amplification or balance training can be of great benefit. However, many issues await investigation, and continued integration of ever-increasing technologies promises many new answers, and questions, in the future.
