Abstract (Summary)
While Medicaid coverage improves access to care, access disparities remain between youth with Medicaid and private insurance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether having Medicaid versus private insurance impacts access to care for youth with type 2 diabetes, an emerging health concern with long-term patient and health system implications.
A secondary database analysis of youth age 5-19 with type 2 diabetes was undertaken in a national electronic medical record (EMR) database. Patients had at least 90 days of EMR activity after their first indication of type 2 diabetes, and all had Medicaid or private insurance. Descriptive statistics and multivariate regression analyses were used to test the hypotheses that (1) youth with Medicaid have less access to physician care the year prior to their first indication of type 2 diabetes in the EMR; and (2) that Medicaid influences access to diabetes-related care in terms being less likely to receive prescription drugs but more likely to receive tests to monitor blood glucose control.
A total of 2496 youth were included including 400 (16%) with Medicaid coverage. Over 60% were female with a age of 14.5 years, and over two thirds were obese. The study found that youth with Medicaid were not less likely to have access to physician care prior to their first indication of type 2 diabetes in the EMR. However, by study design, all youth in the study had overcome basic access barriers in entering the EMR system. Similarly, youth with Medicaid did not have reduced access to prescription drugs relative to private insurance. They were more likely to have their blood glucose control tested at baseline, as predicted, but not during a one year follow-up period.
This study suggests that if barriers to accessing physician care can be reduced for youth with Medicaid, they may not receive a lower level of diabetes care than youth with private insurance. Thus, health policy measures to ensure that Medicaid physician networks provide adequate and accommodating coverage in low-income areas may help to reduce diabetes-related care access barriers that Medicaid youth with type 2 diabetes may disproportionately face.

Exercise 4 IBC101

1.Where can you find information about Nobel Prize?Who get the Nobel
prize this year?



I was online looking for information on the Nobel.

Harold Pinter .

2.Go to Encyclopedia Online at http://library.spu.ac.th Search for the history of automobiles or computer.Summarize the information you get.

The development of the modern day computer was the result of advances in technologies and man's need to quantify. Papyrus helped early man to record language and numbers. The abacus was one of the first counting machines. . Some of the earlier mechanical counting machines lacked the technology to make the design work. For instance, some had parts made of wood prior to metal manipulation and manufacturing. Imagine the wear on wooden gears. This history of computers site includes the names of early pioneers of math and computing and links to related sites about the History of Computers, for further study. This site would be a good Web adjunct to accompany any book on the History of Computers or Introduction to Computers. The "H" Section includes a link to the History of the Web Beginning at CERN which includes Bibliography and Related Links. Hitmill.com strives to always include related links for a broader educational experience. The material was originally divided into Part 1 & Part 2


3.What is the difference between general book and reference book?

reference book or reference-only book in a library is one that may only be used in the library and not borrowed from the library. Many such books are reference works (in the first sense) which are usually used only briefly or photocopied from, and therefore do not need to be borrowed. Keeping them in the library assures that they will always be available for use on demand. Other reference-only books are ones that are too valuable to permit borrowers to take them out. Reference-only items may be shelved in a reference collection located separately from circulating items or individual reference-only items may be shelved among items available for borrowing.

general book is just ordinary books,no specific,and easy to read.


4.When do you need search information from the reference collection?

Access to different information need to use different methods.If I want to know IBC knowledge, I will consult the relevant books.If I need to know in other areas of knowledge, I will read other books.


5.What type of reference collection that you like to use most? And why?

I like to use the "bing" Search for the information I need to.This is a search site.I often have the necessary knowledge and information in here,whenever I need information or when the information,I would use search engines to search,then one by one to open a search for each entry,finally found the information I need.

6.Read some book and summary 1 page.

The name:How to Build a Great Team

Author:Ros Jay

This page has said is that in a team, money and material rewards is very important for most people.

- obviously you can give them a substantial salary;they’ll want to work hard to mabe sure they hold on to a well-paid job;

- you can give them financial bonuses,or the prospect of promotion-with a concomitant rise in salary-if they perform well;

- people often respond well to suggestion schemes in which a successful idea will earn them a share in the profits it makes or the savings it accrues;

- maybe you could put them on a commission of some kind,or performance related pay(which we’ll look at later in this chapter)

It’s worth noting that when it comes to motivation,money is what is known as a “bygiene factor”.If people think they’re underpaid(usually relative to others)they are demotivated,but once they fell they are well enough paid most people won’t feel any more motivated just because you pay them more-just as dirty looks demotivate,but once they’re made clean and decent you can’t increase motivation by adding gold-plated taps.Most complaints about money are precipitated by the discovery that someone the person thought was worth less than them is actually being paid more.

Exercise 3 IBC101


1.What different with Journal and Magazine?

Magazine: a sort of book with a paper cover and usually large pages, which contains written articles,phtographs,and advertisements, usually on a special subject or for a certain group of people, and which is printed and sold every week or month


Journal:It is the professional magazine

2.What different with DC and LC?

Dewey Decimal Classification

The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC, also called the Dewey Decimal System) is a proprietary system of library classification developed by Melvil Dewey in 1876, and has been greatly modified and expanded through 22 major revisions, the most recent in 2004. This system organizes books on library shelves in a specific and repeatable order that makes it easy to find any book and return it to its proper place.
A designation such as Dewey 16 refers to the 16th edition of the DDC


The DDC attempts to organize all knowledge into ten main classes. The ten main classes are each further subdivided into ten divisions, and each division into ten sections, giving ten main classes, 100 divisions and 1000 sections. DDC's advantage in using decimals for its categories allows it to be both purely numerical and infinitely hierarchical. It also uses some aspects of a faceted classification scheme, combining elements from different parts of the structure to construct a number representing the subject content (often combining two subject elements with linking numbers and geographical and temporal elements) and form of an item rather than drawing upon a list containing each class and its meaning


Library of Congress Classification


The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is a system of library classification developed by the Library of Congress. It is used by most research and academic libraries in the U.S. and several other countries. It is not to be confused with the Library of Congress Subject Headings or Library of Congress Control Number.


The classification was originally developed by Herbert Putnam in 1897, just before he assumed the librarianship of Congress. With advice from Charles Ammi Cutter, it was influenced by Cutter Expansive Classification, and the DDC, and was specially designed for the special purposes of the Library of Congress. The new system replaced a fixed location system developed by Thomas Jefferson. By the time of Putnam's departure from his post in 1939, all the classes except K (Law) and parts of B (Philosophy and Religion) were well developed. It has been criticized as lacking a sound theoretical basis; many of the classification decisions were driven by the particular practical needs of that library, rather than epistemological considerations.


Although it divides subjects into broad categories, it is essentially enumerative in nature. It provides a guide to the books actually in the library, not a classification of the world


The National Library of Medicine classification system (NLM) uses the classification scheme's unused letters W and QS–QZ. Some libraries use NLM in conjunction with LCC, eschewing LCC's R (Medicine). Others prefer to use the LCC scheme's QP-QR schedules and include Medicine R




3.What is the Call Number?

A call number is a group of numbers and/or letters put together to tell you where in the library to find your book


A call number is located at the bottom of the book on the spine. It helps you to find your books quicker. Once you've got your call number from the card catalog, it's time to go find your book!

4.What are sources of knowledge?
Knowledge is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as (i) expertise, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject, (ii) what is known in a particular field or in total; facts and information or (iii) awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation. Philosophical debates in general start with Plato's formulation of knowledge as "justified true belief". There is however no single agreed definition of knowledge presently, nor any prospect of one, and there remain numerous competing theories

Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes: perception, learning, communication, association and reasoning. The term knowledge is also used to mean the confident understanding of a subject with the ability to use it for a specific purpose if appropriate. See Knowledge Management for additional details on that discipline


Symbolic representations can be used to indicate meaning and can be thought of as a dynamic process. Hence the transfer of the symbolic representation can be viewed as one ascription process whereby knowledge can be transferred. Other forms of communication include imitation, narrative exchange along with a range of other methods. There is no complete theory of knowledge transfer or communication


5.What do you read this week?

I read the book in this week.The name of the book "Wolf totem".An epic Chinese tale that depicts the dying culture of the Mongols--the ancestors of the Mongol hordes who at one time terrorized the world--and the parallel extinction of the animal they believe to be sacred: the fierce and otherworldly Mongolian wolf.

2.What is SQRW?

S is "Survey".Surveying brings to mind what you already know about the topic of a chapter and prepares you for learning more.
Q is "Question".Questions give you a purpose for reading and help you stay focused on the reading assignment.
R is "Read".Read the information that follows each heading to find the answer to each question you formed.
W is"Write".Write each question and its answer in your netbook.Reread each of your written answers to be sure each answer is legible and contains all the important information needed to answer the question.
