Research paper thumbnail of Meeting Patient Expectations During Hospitalization: A Grounded Theoretical Analysis of Patient-Centered Room Elements

Background: There is an increased interest in supportive room design to increase patient satisfaction and improve the healing process. Methods: Patients’ and family caregivers’ reactions were elicited to intentional room elements embedded in a set of five full-scale simulated room prototypes. Small groups of patients and caregivers toured two of the five rooms and provided verbal and written evaluations of room features. A grounded theory approach was employed to generate a codebook, identify the frequency of codes, and to group codes and memos into emerging themes. Insights from emergent themes were compared with findings from written surveys on the importance of various room design elements completed at the beginning of each session. Results: A theoretical design framework was generated, showing patients expect a hospital r...

Palmer (1962, 1965) described the trilobite faunas of this interval, and many subsequent studies have focused on the faunal provincialism, paleoenvironments, and biochronostratigraphy. The Steptoean positive isotope carbon excursion (SPICE) event spans this interval, with a 13C maximum occurring in the Dunderbergia Zone, near the middle of the succession (Saltzman et al., 1998).Figure 1. Names and lithology of lithostratigraphic units associated with and adjacent to the Steptoean Stage in the eastern Great Basin. See Figure 2 for the abbreviations of locations across the top row. Steptoean interval is indicated by light-gray overlay.Figure 2. Locations of stratigraphic sections and gamma-ray profiles in the eastern Great Basin. The light-green area indicates the principal study area.The interpreted sea level changes during this interval have been somewhat controversial (e.g., Palmer, 1965; Lochman-Balk, 1970). Evans (1997) described the depositional environments of the Steptoean and has interpreted that these strata record two major sea level falls during the Dunderbergia and early Elvinia Chrons and a major sea level rise during the late Elvinia Chron. Saltzman et al. (2004) considered that the SPICE maximum coincided with a sea level fall in the latest Dunderbergia Chron, which they considered to be the Sauk II-III unconformity. This chapter provides an overview of the depositional environments of the Steptoean Stage, together with a series of gamma-ray profiles that help illustrate the sequence stratigraphy. The gamma-ray profiles make it possible to correlate measured stratigraphic sections with one another and to correlate them with subsurface well logs (see Evans et al., 2012).

We confirm that limestone exposures at Postel Nunatak are at least partly correlated with the Nelson Limestone of the Neptune Range, 160 km north-east, and are not correlative with the lower Cambrian Schneider Hills Limestone of the Argentina Range. Upper beds have yielded the trilobites Suludella? davnii Palmer & Gatehouse, 1972 and Solenopleura pruina Palmer & Gatehouse, 1972, which provide a basis for assignment to Cambrian Series 3 (late middle Cambrian), within the Drumian or lower Guzhangian stages. Limestone beds were deposited in a shallow marine setting, ranging from supratidal to lagoonal facies with rare subtidal intervals. These settings contrast with deeper water facies of the Neptune Range. Despite limitations in sampling density, isotopic analysis indicates that a greater than +2.5‰ shift in δ13C is consistent...
