Neonatal Care Essentials for Nursing and Midwifery

Author: Mcgregor

Publisher: Deakin University

License: CC BY-NC

This resource is aimed at providing student midwives and nurses an entry level understanding of the role of the nurse/midwife in the neonatal environment. The book is divided into chapters following the notions of warm, sweet, pink and calm with an overview of transition to the extrauterine environment. It is paramount that we ask ourselves when caring for premature or haemodynamically unstable term infants, are they warm, are they sweet, are they pink, and finally are they calm. This resource will provide you with an entry level understanding of the pathophysiology behind some of the more commonly seen presentations in the neonatal special care nursery, and more importantly the resource will provide you with management strategies following the warm, sweet, pink and calm concepts.

Digital approaches to building measurement: Standards, tools and techniques

Authors: Gurmu, Udawatta, Karunasena, and Taban

Publisher: Deakin University

License: CC BY-NC

To align the teaching and learning of building measurement with current industry practices and standards in Australia, it is essential to update traditional teaching materials. Existing textbooks predominantly focus on manual measurement methods and provide limited coverage of computer-based techniques that are now widely adopted in professional practice. This handbook addresses this gap by integrating digital measurement tools, particularly RIB CostX software, which reflects contemporary industry workflows. The approach adopted in this book aligns with the principles of the Australian and New Zealand Standard Methods of Measurement (ANZSMM) and supports alignment with industry expectations. This handbook covers key trades, namely groundworks, concrete, formwork, reinforcement, and masonry, which are covered in building measurement and estimating units such as SRE272-Building Measurement, SRE302- Building Measurement and Estimating, and SRQ774-Construction Measurement and Estimating.

Molecular Techniques: A Project-Based Undergraduate Laboratory

Author: Chang

Publisher: Milne Open Textbooks

License: CC BY-NC

Molecular biology, examining the structures and functions of nucleic acids and proteins, is crucial to advancing biological science and improving human life, particularly in agriculture and medicine. Advances in the field can transform a crop to resist disease or uncover clues to fight illness by manipulating DNA. Techniques for molecular biology research and applications have advanced rapidly over the past decades, and undergraduates need hands-on experiences in this vital field of science. This text provides a structured approach to learning and practicing those techniques, covering DNA, RNA, and protein across five modules and is tailored for a one-semester undergraduate lab course. Each module extends 2–5 weeks of lab exercises and features.
