by Lauren Welbourne 15 Jul '19

15 Jul '19

Hi everyone Further to the IT issues we experienced last week, please be advised that we are still working on getting the remote services up and running. You may also experience other technical glitches while everything is restored to normal service, if so, please can you report the issue to us at it-support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk. We are running a *YNiC user induction tomorrow *(Tuesday 16th) at *9:30am*, as a replacement to the induction that was cancelled last week during the unplanned closure. If you are aware of any students/staff that will require an IT account for YNiC, they must complete a User Induction first. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up for tomorrows induction. Finally, as I mentioned last week, please be aware that due to staff annual leave over the summer, there will be a limited number of operator covered slots across the two scanners. I hope you have a good week!

Hello All, We are now up and running essential services, so Open Plan is ready for business. Remote services are still a work in progress and are unlikely to return until later in the week. The speedy return to services is a result of Mark Hymers and Joe Lyons working overnight. Huge thanks to them for their work. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD.

Dear all Last night we had a disk failure in our of our storage arrays which caused some issues with a few servers and some of the file shares. We restarted the servers affected which included the remote desktops this morning. The cluster was then rebooted and a file system check was performed on /scratch/home at 12:00 to check for any errors. All systems we back to normal from 1pm. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. Thanks Joe -- Joe Lyons, UNIX Systems Administrator York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC), University of York

Unfortunately, we're experiencing more issues with our storage system and so we've closed the centre for the day so we can restore service and check the file systems. All remote desktop systems will be unavailable for the rest of the day. Thanks Joe -- Joe Lyons, UNIX Systems Administrator York Neuroimaging Centre (YNiC), University of York

Hello All, Please be aware that participants, who are pregnant should not be scanned. I know this is standard practice, but I thought it would be a timely reminder because of the following. We are in the process of having a risk assessment about pregnancy and MRI operators. While this risk assessment is being performed MRI operators who are pregnant should no longer enter the scanner room. I will update you on any changes resulting from the risk assessment. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

This Week at YNiC

Hi everyone We have a few announcements for you this week: *Summer Closure* We would like to give you advanced notice of our summer closure period, which will take place between the 2nd and 20th September. During this period we will perform essential IT upgrades and maintenance. There will be no access to the centre (including remotely), and no support will be provided over this period. *Screening Participants* We know that we have had to turn away participants on the day that they attend for scanning. We also know that this is very frustrating for researchers. The situation can occur for all participant groups, but is more frequent in special or elderly populations. Our existing advice is to ensure that you speak with your participant *before* the day of their scan to go through the screening form, and obtained any Level 3 signatures required. We know that this is done routinely, but we have a couple of further suggestions: - First, be absolutely clear that the questions you will be asking are vital to ensure participant safety, and that each participant should answer fully and take time to consider their answers. - Second, make the participant aware that having participated in a scan before does not mean that they will be clear for an upcoming scan; they need to consider each question carefully and identify anything that they may have previously had approved by an operator - Finally, and related to the previous point, knowing that a participant has been scanned before is not a guarantee that that same participant will be eligible for an upcoming scan, because of any potential change in their status or indeed changes in safety regulations governing who may be scanned. *YNiC User Inductions* We are running our next YNiC user induction this *Wednesday 26th June* at the updated time of *4pm*. If you are aware of any students/staff that will require an IT account for YNiC, they must complete a User Induction first. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up for the next induction date. Hope you have a good week.
