The three things on our goal list are to educate, empower and encourage you to continue to enjoy life despite obstacles that you may have to overcome. Bob McCoy RRT of Valley Inspired Oxygen in Apple Valley, MN, put things into perspective recently when he talked about people’s reluctance to wear oxygen at an American Association of Respira­ tory Care meeting. When a person who needs glasses puts them on, he is no different than a person who has 20­20 vision naturally. Glasses level the playing field and put everyone on the same “There is no footing. remedy for love but to Time equals tissue – the sooner you give your body the oxygen love more.” supply it needs, the less tissue damage there will be. Why do Henry David Thoreau health professionals and insurance companies wait until the point where your oxygen is very low to say, “Okay, now we are going to prescribe oxygen for you”? What if that happened with your vision? You would have to wait until you are walking into walls before they would say, “Okay, let’s order some glasses for you”. Being educated about your respiratory condition and treatment plan options empowers you. You are the one in control of your team. It is up to you to be a good leader in 2015 and beyond! Leaders also are known to have a softer side. Remember the romance. There is always time for romance – no matter how small the ges­ ture. The impact of letting someone know you care can be huge.

My son, Ben, recently earned his MBA from the University of Tennessee and his family couldn’t be prouder! January/February 2015 www.pulmonarypaper.org 3 Calling Dr. Bauer … s we start the new year, I would like to share some of the guidance I give my patients about when to call and what to Ado in case of an emergency. At the end of every clinic visit, I tell them to call me if they have any new breathing concerns. Dr. Michael Bauer I am contacted when there is more shortness of breath than usual or if they are experiencing chest discomfort. The first questions I ask are: “What does your sputum look like? Are you coughing up more amounts than normal? Is it dark colored or bloody? Do you have a temperature?” More and more, patients have portable oximeters at home to measure oxygen saturation. A marked reduction in oxygen levels can be concerning. Answers to these questions help us decide if an antibiotic should be prescribed over the phone. Some of my “informed” patients will be given a prescription to be kept on hand at home in case they can’t get a hold of me or for an emergency. I always encourage them to call first if at all possible. It’s too easy to take an anti biotic too often these days. Overuse of prescrip­ tions can result in resistant infections. I’m less inclined to recommend antibiotics if there is no concurrent fever. Many of my patients are on chronic steroid inhalers and/ or oral prednisone. I try to discuss a plan in clinic for increasing the dose of inhalers when breathing symptoms become worse. A burst and taper of prednisone is often helpful, but again, I really like my patients to call before we mutually make this decision. Most patients with chronic lung disease know when they can manage problems at home. I know most of my patients well enough Question for Dr. Bauer? that when I get the call, “Dr. Bauer, I really need to see you soon,” You may write to him at The Pulmonary Paper, I make room for a clinic visit.

In November 2014, I had the opportunity to visit Tokyo, TJapan, on a work­related trip, and I felt some readers may be interested in the experience. For those that do not know, I work for a small company, Valley Ryan Diesem Inspired Products (VIP), based in Apple Valley, MN. Among other services, we are known as an independent testing house for a wide variety of products in home respiratory care. Home oxygen systems, ventilators, CPAP machines, CPAP masks … you name it, we’ve probably tested it at some point. Recently we were invited to visit the facilities of one of our clients in Japan. We have worked with this group for several years, and the relationship has proven to be mutually beneficial. And while several of their staff have visited and worked with us at our facility, we had not yet been able to make the journey across the Pacific. When a chance to give a presentation on a variety of topics related to home respiratory care and equipment was given to us, we had to jump on it. In Japan, home oxygen therapy has only been available since the Ryan Diesem is Research mid ­1980s, and the number of Japanese citizens on home oxygen Manager at Valley currently is around 150,000 (compared that to over 800,000 home Inspired Products, Apple Valley, MN.

Tighter noise regulations mean Japanese concentra tors com ments. tend to be quieter than their U.S. counterparts, but the trade­off may be increased size and weight. For those with portable systems, most Japanese oxygen users are given cylinders with continuous or pulse regulators. Home fill devices are not allowed in Japanese homes, so cylinder deliveries are needed when tank supply is low. There are a handful of portable oxygen con­ centrators (POCs) and liquid oxygen (LOX) options available, but they are not yet widely used. 6 www.pulmonarypaper.org Volume 26, Number 1 benefit to the home care dealer than it was to the oxygen user. With the advent of Portable Oxygen Con­ cen trators (POCs), which manu facture their own oxygen, savings ratio is no longer the buzz term it once was, at least in the U.S. In Japan, however, savings ratio is still a big selling point for devices with pulse oxygen delivery. A majority of the pulse devices available in Japan feature a minute volume delivery algorithm (i.e., the volume of oxygen delivered per breath decreases as the user’s Ryan Diesem, left, with Bob McCoy, Managing Director of Valley Inspired Products breath rate increases) which will give a higher oxygen savings ratio.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

  • The Breeze, Was First Published in October 1982
    James Madison University Thursday, September 6,1864 Vol.62 No. 3 Police praise policefile By Sandy Stone staff writer Campus ' drunken driving arrests at JMU decreased 24 percent from 1982 to 1983 — and campus police attribute the drop in part to policefile. Policefile, which publishes the names of students charged with offenses such as drunken driving and public drunkenness in a weekly column in The Breeze, was first published in October 1982. Although it first sparked criticism from campus administrators, police now support policefile because they think it acts as a deterrent. "The first real measureable decrease in drunken driving ar- rests occurred after policefile started being published," said Alan MacNutt, director of cam- pus police. "The fact that names were published, plus in- creased attention paid to speakers and programs on campus that focused on drunken driving, had a significant impact on the decrease," MacNutt said. From 1982 to 1983, the number of drunken driv- ing arrests on campus went from 74 to 56, Mac- Nutt said. Conversely, the number of people charged with drunken driving by city police in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County during the same two years in- creased by 14 percent, according to Capt. M.L. Stroble of the Harrisonburg police department. The number of arrests made in 1982 was 390, compared with 445 in 1983. The Daily News- Record, Harrisonburg's local newspaper, does not publish drunken driving arrests or convictions. During/the summer, MacNutt recommended to the Hamsonburg-Rockingham Task Force on Drunk Driving that names of those charged with drunken driving be published by local media.

    STRUCTURAL CHANGE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY: THE EVOLVING ROLE OF THE MUSICIAN RICHARD JAMES BURGESS A submission presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Glamorgan/Prifysgol Morgannwg for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2010 ii Copyright © 2010 by Richard James Burgess All Rights Reserved ii 1 Structural Change in the Music Industry The Evolving Role of the Musician Abstract The recording industry is little more than one hundred years old. In its short history there have been many changes that have redefined roles, enabled fortunes to be built and caused some to be dissipated. Recording and delivery formats have gone through fundamental conceptual developments and each technological transformation has generated both positive and negative effects. Over the past fifteen years technology has triggered yet another large-scale and protracted revision of the business model, and this adjustment has been exacerbated by two serious economic downturns. This dissertation references the author’s career to provide context and corroboration for the arguments herein. It synthesizes salient constants from more than forty years’ empirical evidence, addresses industry rhetoric and offers methodologies for musicians with examples, analyses, and codifications of relevant elements of the business. The economic asymmetry of the system that exploits musicians’ work can now be rebalanced. Ironically, the technologies that triggered the industry downturn now provide creative entities with mechanisms for redress. This is a propitious time for ontologically reexamining music business realities to determine what is axiological as opposed to simply historical axiom. The primary objective herein is to contribute to the understanding of applied fundamentals, the rules of engagement that enable aspirants and professionals alike to survive and thrive in this dynamic and capricious vocation.

  • Turbulent Mixing in Experimental Ecosystem Studies
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 161: 265-293. 1997 Published December 31 Mar Ecol Prog Ser REVIEW Turbulent mixing in experimental ecosystem studies Lawrence P. Sanford* University of Maryland, Center for Environmental Science, Horn Point Laboratory, PO Box 775, Cambridge. Maryland 21613, USA ABSTRACT. Turbulent mixing is an integral aspect of aquatic ecosystems Turbulence affects eco- system features ranglng from phytoplankton blooms at large scales through microscale interactions in the plankton. Enclosed experimental ecosystems, if they are to mimic the function of natural ecosys- tems, also must mimic natural turbulence and its effects. Large-scale velocity gradients and unstable buoyancy fluxes generate turbulent mixing in nature, most often at the surface and bottom boundaries and in the pycnocline. Large eddy sizes are controlled by the mixed layer depth, boundary layer thick- ness, or overturning length in the pycnocl~ne.Turbulent energy cascades through smaller and smaller eddy scales until it can be dissipated by molecular viscosity at the smallest scales. In contrast, artificial apparatuses frequently are used to generate turbulent m~xingin the interior of experimental ecosystem enclosures Large eddy sizes are controlled by the size of the generation apparatus, and they usually are much smaller than in nature Mismatched large eddy length scales and differences in turbulence generation mechanisms are responsible for the difficulties in mimicking natural turbulent mixing in experimental enclosures. The 2 most important turbulence parameters to consider in experimental ecosystem research are overall mixing time, T,,,, and turbulence dissipation rate, E. If the levels, spatial dlstribut~ons,and temporal variability of T,,, and E can be matched between an enclosure and the nat- ural system it IS to model, then potential mixing artifacts can be minimized.
