Guidelines Sample Annotated Bibliography Sample Standard Reference List/Bibliography Guidelines The following is a summary of things to know when creating an APA style annotated bibliography: The annotated bibliography consists of two elements o Citation in current APA style format o Annotation The annotation will follow the citation on the next line. There is not an extra space— double spacing is used throughout. An annotation is different from an abstract. It should have several sentences summarizing the main points or ideas found in the item. It should then include your own statement evaluating the quality of the item and/or relating the item to your own research topic. For a longer annotated bibliography, it is appropriate to divide into sections or topics, and to title those sections as seems fitting. Note: These annotations are for illustrative purposes only and have no relationship to the content of the sources.

UA&F Low Energy Laser as a Treatment for Refractory Diabetic Leg and Foot Ulcers ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Diabetic leg and foot ulcers often lead to immobility, infection, and amputation, cost $7,000 to $40,000 per ulcer, and erode mental health and QOL. Lasers have been effectively utilized in medicine since the 60’s, from various surgical uses to the treatment of diseases. Although low-energy (also called low-power, low-level, and cold) laser therapy for “biostimulation” (or biomodulation) of ulcer healing has been studied extensively, quality data on diabetic wound healing is rare. This review seeks to evaluate the efficacy of laser therapy as an adjunct in healing of recalcitrant diabetic ulcers. METHODS: Literature review and statistical analysis using RRR, NNT, d, t, r2, and fail-safe calculations. RESULTS: Six studies with 6 probabilty scores met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They showed an overall mean RRR of 86% (CI .21-.33). Four of the studies, totaling 8...

...SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT AND LANGUAGES Edinburgh Campus C11SK– Sustainable Marketing Course Handbook Semester 2, Session 2013-2014 Introduction Managing sustainability is arguably the most important business issue to face organisations today and into the foreseeable future. Organisations will be required by the market, governmental intervention or resource scarcity to fundamentally reorganise how they satisfy consumers’ demands. This course will develop students’ knowledge and expertise on how to do this and meet these marketing challenges. In doing this, students will develop a detailed understanding of the sustainable consumer, the causes of over-consumption and how marketing sustainability can be practiced Staff contacts Lecturer and Course Coordinator: Dr Iain Black I joined Heriot Watt as a Reader from the University of Edinburgh and before that held post of senior lecturer at University of Sydney. My main teaching and research interests revolve around sustainability, in particular anti-consumption, consumer’s responses to scarcity and how consumers dispose of goods.

...Annals of Internal Medicine Clinical Guidelines Screening Mammography in Women 40 to 49 Years of Age: A Systematic Review for the American College of Physicians Katrina Armstrong, MD, MSCE; Elizabeth Moye, BA; Sankey Williams, MD; Jesse A. Berlin, ScD; and Eileen E. Reynolds, MD Background: The risks and benefits of mammography screening among women 40 to 49 years of age remain an important issue for clinical practice. Purpose: To evaluate the evidence about the risks and benefits of mammography screening for women 40 to 49 years of age. Data Sources: English-language publications in MEDLINE (1966 – 2005), Pre-MEDLINE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and references of selected studies through May 2005. Study Selection: Previous systematic reviews; randomized, controlled trials; and observational studies. Data Extraction: Two independent reviewers. Data Synthesis: In addition to publications from the original mammography trials, 117 studies were included in the review. Metaanalyses of randomized, controlled trials demonstrate a 7% to 23% reduction in breast cancer mortality rates with screening mammography in women 40 to 49 years of age. Screening mammography is associated with an increased risk for mastectomy but a decreased risk for adjuvant chemotherapy and hormone therapy. The risk for death due to breast cancer from the radiation exposure involved in mammography screening is small and is outweighed by a reduction in breast cancer mortality...

...Opinion Mining Using Econometrics: A Case Study on Reputation Systems Anindya Ghose Panagiotis G. Ipeirotis Arun Sundararajan Department of Information, Operations, and Management Sciences Leonard N. Stern School of Business, New York University {aghose,panos,arun}@stern.nyu.edu Abstract Deriving the polarity and strength of opinions is an important research topic, attracting significant attention over the last few years. In this work, to measure the strength and polarity of an opinion, we consider the economic context in which the opinion is evaluated, instead of using human annotators or linguistic resources. We rely on the fact that text in on-line systems influences the behavior of humans and this effect can be observed using some easy-to-measure economic variables, such as revenues or product prices. By reversing the logic, we infer the semantic orientation and strength of an opinion by tracing the changes in the associated economic variable. In effect, we use econometrics to identify the “economic value of text” and assign a “dollar value” to each opinion phrase, measuring sentiment effectively and without the need for manual labeling. We argue that by interpreting opinions using econometrics, we have the first objective, quantifiable, and contextsensitive evaluation of opinions. We make the discussion concrete by presenting results on the reputation system of Amazon.com. We show that user feedback affects the pricing power of merchants and by measuring their pricing...

...children with cancer, but with much less frequency (approximately 0.5%–1%).[1-3] Solid tumors (such as lung or breast cancer tumors) as well as certain hematologic malignancies (particularly multiple myeloma) are most frequently associated with hypercalcemia.[4] Although early diagnosis followed by hydration and treatment with agents that decrease serum calcium concentrations (hypocalcemic drugs) can produce symptomatic improvements within a few days, diagnosis may be complicated because symptoms may be insidious at onset and can be confused with those of many malignant and nonmalignant diseases. However, diagnosis and timely interventions not only are lifesaving in the short term but also may enhance the patient’s compliance with primary and supportive treatments and may improve quality of life.[5] When a patient has a refractory, widely disseminated malignancy for which specific therapy is no longer being pursued, the patient may want to consider withholding therapy for hypercalcemia. For patients or families who have expressed their wishes regarding end-of-life issues, this may represent a preferred timing and/or mode of death (as compared with a more prolonged death from advancing metastatic disease). This option is best considered long before the onset of severe hypercalcemia or other metabolic abnormalities that impair cognition, so that the patient may be involved in the decision making. In this summary, unless otherwise stated, evidence and practice issues as they relate to...

...LEAD USER PROJECT HANDBOOK: A practical guide for lead user project teams INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND SERVICES PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES Joan Churchill • Eric von Hippel • Mary Sonnack PREFACE When Joan Churchill, Mary Sonnack and I were doing lead user projects for our research in the 1990’s, we needed some standardized training materials for lead user project teams. We therefore wrote this handbook, and progressively revised it based upon field experience. Our final revisions were made in 1998. Then, our manuscript just sat there, as we all went on to other work. It is now 2009, and researchers and practitioners have learned a great deal more than we knew in 1998 about lead users, and how to run lead user projects. In a year or two, we expect that completely new handbooks will supersede this one. In particular, we are eagerly looking forward to one now being planned by Professors Christoph Hienerth and Marion Poetz of Copenhagen Business School. Still, while we are waiting for newer materials, we think that lead user teams, consultants, and teachers may well find something of value in what we wrote 10 years ago. Accordingly we are posting this book on the Web under a Creative Commons license that permits free downloading. It can be used in conjunction with 6 short lead user project training videos developed by Joan Churchill. These are also available on the Web for free downloading from http://mit.edu/evhippel/www/index...
