Full textAbstract:
It was in the mid-twentieth century that the independent theatrical form based entirely on improvisation, known now as improvisational/improvised theatre, impro or improv, came into existence and took shape. Viola Spolin, the intellectual and the logician behind the improvisational movement, first used her improvised games as a WPA worker running theater classes for underprivileged youth in Chicago in 1939. But it was not until 1955 that her son, Paul Sills, together with a college theater group, the Compass Players, used Spolin’s games on stage. In the 1970s Sills made the format famous with his other project, the Second City.
Since the emergence of improv in the US coincides with the renaissance of improvisation in theater, in this paper, I will look back at what may have prepared and propelled the emergence of improvised theater in the United States. Hence, this article is an attempt to look at the use of improvisation in theater and performing arts in the United States in the second half of the 20th century in order to highlight the various roles and functions of improvisation in the experimental theater of the day by analyzing how some of the most influential experimental theaters used improvisation as a means of play development, a component of actor training and an important element of the rehearsal process.

Objectives: To measure the perceptions of medical students on the learningenvironment in surgical theater of FMH College of Medicine and Dentistry, Lahore, Pakistan.Study Design: Teaching hospital-based cross-sectional study. Setting: Fatima MemorialHospital College of Medicine and Dentistry, Lahore, Pakistan. Period: January 2017 to June2017. Methods: The Mini-Surgical Theater Educational Environment Measure (mini-STEEM)(thirteen items from the STEEM inventory) was used to measure perceptions of medicalstudents on the learning environment in surgical theater. Mini-STEEM was administered tomedical students of fourth and final year during their rotation in surgical theater at FMH Collegeof Medicine and Dentistry. Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 20 was used for non-parametricstatistical analysis. Results: Questionnaire was filled by all 134 students, with a response rate of100%. The mini-STEEM was shown to be a reliable tool to measure overall learning environmentin the surgical theater of FMH College of Medicine and Dentistry. The overall mini-STEEM meanscore was 37.66 which was below the midpoint score (39). Students’ ratings were low for twosubscales, namely: ‘Atmosphere’ and ‘Operating experience. Discrimination subscale showedhigh ratings as no significant differences of perceptions were found between male and femaleparticipants. Conclusion: The medical undergraduates perceived the educational environmentwithin the surgical theater of FMH College of Medicine and Dentistry below satisfactory. Resultsof the study implied that the environment required multiple measures for improvement in thesurgical theater to promote surgical education in undergraduate medical students.

On my first day as an undergraduate at the university of konstanz, i attended a lecture i had been particularly looking forward to: an introduction to philosophy. The professor, Jürgen Mittelstraß, began by declaring that he hoped very few of us would become professional philosophers—ideally, none. Philosophy was a kind of training that should be carried into other endeavors, not pursued as an end in itself. I got really mad. After the lecture I marched into his office and declared that I was going to be the exception. He smiled and kindly took me under his wing for the rest of my studies. But somehow, after majoring in analytic philosophy in college, I began to gravitate toward literature and theater, probably because I had been doing a lot of extracurricular theater along the way. When, twenty years later, I wrote to tell him what had become of me, he revealed that he had once contemplated a career in theater himself.

Annotation. Pop faculties and departments of universities and colleges became the main suppliers of musical actors, interest in which arose in Russia in the 90s of the XX century. The methodological support for the preparation of musical artists has not yet been sufficiently covered due to the youth of this genre and the specifics not fully studied. The popularity of the musical in our country gradually leads to an increase in the number of specialized educational institutions and relevant faculties in existing theater and music colleges and universities, which, of course, should increase the overall level of stage productions in this genre and bring the Russian musical to new creative heights. As far as graduates of the College of Music and Theater master the skills of stage skills and singing in the process of training, the practice of their participation in theatrical productions as musical theater actors shows. In this case, the participation of college graduates in the most famous musical in Russia “Notre-Dame de Paris” is considered.

Full textAbstract:
In assembly occupancies with serried seats distribution, such as cinemas and theaters, the evacuation bottleneck is not only limited to the exit but also in the narrow corridors formed by a large number of seats. These narrow corridors are also an important factor that why people cannot evacuate quickly. This paper observes the evacuation situation of a college theater at the end of movies, and uses BuildingEXODUS to study the influence of seat jumping and corridors’ width altering on evacuation. Studies shows that when the number reaches 20%-60% of the capacity, seat jumping situation during evacuation can improve evacuation efficiency. While the number exceeds 60% or less than 20% of the capacity, the total evacuation time will not change significantly. If the total width of the hallway remains unchanged and the width of each hallway is changed, the exit may reach the state of congestion in advance, which aggravates the congestion at the exit and also has a certain impact on the seat jumping to escape.

Full textAbstract:
Policies such as America’s Missing: Broadcast Emergency Response Alerts, safe haven laws, Megan’s law, and three-strikes laws have provided the public with a feeling of safety and security. However, research has provided evidence that disputes their effectiveness. These types of laws and policies have become known as “crime control theater” (CCT) because they appear to be effective, serve the public’s best interests, and provide a crime control purpose but are largely ineffective and have unintended negative consequences. Using self-affirmation and emotion theory, this study examines potential explanations as to why individuals might support CCT policies. It also investigates whether support differs based on relevant characteristics (e.g., gender, sample type, and preexisting beliefs about policy effectiveness). Results suggest that females and Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) workers tend to support CCT policies more than males and college students. Further, the relationship between gender and support was mediated by anticipatory guilt, and this effect was stronger for individuals who did not believe in the effectiveness of the policy. Results suggest that individuals who believe the policy is effective will support it more than those who do not, regardless of their anticipated guilt. In contrast, those who doubt the policy only support it if they anticipate feeling guilty; this effect is stronger for women. Results can help explain why people support policies that are largely ineffective and suggest that relevance to the issue can help explain why some groups are more supportive than others.

This article presents the script of “The Myth of the American Dream,” a readers theater researched, written, and presented by students in a women's and gender studies class called “Women, Social Class, and Social Policy.” The script illustrates six diverse respondents’ perspectives on how family backgrounds, intersectional identities, and high school experiences influenced college access and experiences, student debt, and current circumstances. The script poses the question: Does higher education, especially for students raised in low incomes, help achieve the American Dream? The article concludes with a reflection on this readers theater and why Bloom includes readers theater projects in her undergraduate classes.

Full textAbstract:
This rich collection of essays is an apt follow up to the excellent previous volume on theatre and language pedagogy – Set the Stage! Teaching Italian through Theater. Theories, Methods, and Practices – published by the two co-editors - Colleen Ryan (Indiana University) and Nicoletta Marini-Maio (Dickinson College) – in 2009. While the previous volume was intended specifically to offer resources to teachers and students to help them incorporate the Italian theatre tradition into the language curriculum, this new collection seeks to confirm the effectiveness of using theatre for foreign language teaching and learning by offering examples where drama is used with other taught languages, such as French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, but also Romanian, Russian and Japanese. The book stems from the recent fertile pedagogical research carried out by Appiah, De Lauretis, Pavis, Pireddu and De Marinis – just to mention a few – which considers theatre both as a cultural product and as a constituent of a teaching philosophy on intercultural learning. For the editors, “Theatre is the literary genre which most actively engages the cultural learner and maximises his/her ability to appropriate what is other” (2). The contributors to this volume are educators who have been working ...

Full textAbstract:
Every year in Russia there is a growing number of people who want to devote themselves to stage professions. Pop and academic singer, actor of musical and dramatic theater, ballet dancer – here is an incomplete list of specialties that can be obtained in educational institutions of culture and art. The main task of these educational institutions is the professional formation of future stage masters, the formation of competencies that allow students to carry out further acting activities. The basis for the preparation of the future artist is the formation of stage skills, since this complex concept includes the internal (psychological) and external (physical) data of the actor, the possession of the art of reincarnation in the process of creating a stage image, the possession of stage freedom. The professional training of a musical theater artist in college becomes a multifaceted process, where the combination of vocals, dance, acting is aimed at solving the dramatic problems of a musical performance. The purpose of the article is to theoretically justify and identify empirically the specifics of the formation of professional skills of musical theater artists in college.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper Phil Smith examines the proposal of Simon Persighetti of Wrights & Sites for actors to behave ‘as signposts’. It describes the circumstances from which the proposal arose, a particular moment in the work of site-specific artists/performers Wrights & Sites, and argues for the wider application of the proposal to the making of site-based theatre and performance. The paper describes four main features of the proposal for ‘actors as signposts’ – pointing to specificity, movement from anti-character to collective subject, performance as trajectory, and the restoration of corporeality – illustrating these with reference to the work of Punchdrunk, Francis Alÿs, and geographer Michael Zinganel, among others. Phil Smith is a Senior Research Associate at the School of Art and Media, University of Plymouth and Visiting Lecturer at the University of Exeter and Dartington College of Arts. Author and co-deviser of over a hundred plays or performances for companies including St Petersburg State Comedy Theatre, Tams Theater (Munich), and New Perspectives (Nottingham), he is company dramaturg for TNT (Munich) and a core member of Wrights & Sites. His solo walking-based performances include The Crab Walks and Crab Steps Aside (texts published by Intellect, 2009).

The paper presents the results of a study of the structural features of personal changes of student-actors in the process of studying in the theater college. We hypothesize that at the stage of primary occupation selection and in the training process students aquire and develop specific stable personality structures (association of personal qualities), which are essential for the formation of the subject of acting. The sample consisted of 832 respondent: 686 enrollees of theater college; 188 students at the beginning and 174 — at the end of the 1st year, 106 2nd year, 91 3rd year, and 68 4th year students. Methods: R. Cattell Personality Factors test (16 PF). Results: four invariant factors describing the structural features of the personality of student-actors are identified — personal anxiety, the desire for public communication, emotional impact on the other, individualism. Conclusions: the hypothesis of the presence of stable personality structures was confirmed, a number of essential personal features that contribute to the implementation of stage communication between self, role, and viewer were found.

Full textAbstract:
This article makes the case for expanding drama pedagogy in foreign language education to include strategies from postdramatic theater, which abandons traditional notions of plot, character, and dialogue and prioritizes theatrical performances over dramatic texts. The article presents findings from an action research project conducted with undergraduate students of German at the College of Charleston, South Carolina in the spring semester of 2013. It describes and discusses the efficacy of specific postdramatic theater strategies and assignments that encouraged Bachelor’s students of German to think beyond dramatic convention by detaching body from character, separating voice and movement from text, and exploring a heterogeneity of theatrical codes via hands-on writing and directing exercises. Based on extensive documentation of the course and the learners’ experiences, the article concludes by discussing postdramatic theater’s capacity to promote foreign language learning, critical thinking, and unfamiliar modes of perception and signification.

The College of Physicians of Philadelphia was founded in 1787; the College Library was founded a year later. At the time of its founding, as for hundreds of years prior, a library was an essential medical workplace, the site of knowledge production, more significant than an anatomy theater, and much more so than the workrooms that were evolving into the spaces called laboratories. Over its 225 years, the College Library has been at the heart of Philadelphia medicine; and, as the discipline of the history of medicine has developed, the Library has become a crucial resource for historians of medicine, . . .

This essay examines how Catholics at the English Jesuit College at Saint-Omer reflected on Japanese religious politics during the 1620s and 1630s, both through translated mission reports and drama. This analysis expands scholars’ view of English encounters with Japan; it also decenters predominantly Eurocentric approaches to early modern Jesuit education and theater. The essay concludes with a discussion of Shakespeare and George Wilkins's “Pericles,” a quarto playbook of which was possessed by St. Omers and which, through the generic elements of romance it shared with the Japan material, provided further opportunities for the college's Catholics to consider transcontinental religious politics.

Full textAbstract:
Globalization processes along with a dynamic life inevitably set new challenges for universities. The content of educational programs should be oriented not only to meet the needs of society in the modern world, but also to be predicted for the future. The institution of higher education should be open to the needs of the labour market, innovations and public queries. When preparing a specialist in a particular field of knowledge, the university is supposed to lay the foundations for adoption of innovations, continuous education, etc. One of the means of realizing the set goals is the introduction of the practice-oriented training. The purpose of the research is to analyze the development of the introduction of the literary theater in the educational process of Boris Grinchenko University of Kyiv. For this purpose, the mission of the Center of Competences «Literary Theater», created at the Department of Ukrainian Literature and Comparative Studies of the Institute of Philology, has been presented; students’ expectations for conducting a series of practical classes at the Center have been studied by using the survey method; meaningful achievements of introduction of the elements of theater pedagogy into the educational process of the University College have been conceptualized; the experience of readings in the course «Theory of Mass Communication in Communication» has been presented. For studying practical experience, empirical methods of pedagogical research have been laid as a basis. The results of the questionnaire show that in the first year students prefer personal development rather than professional improvement. Most of the answers have to do with the fears students would like to overcome. That is why the work in the Center is designed in a way to facilitate the formation of not only professional competencies, but also interactive skills: organizational, communicative, perceptual, predictive, etc. As a result, it poses the effective implementation of the practice-oriented educational strategy of the institution. The project work has shown that it is important to take videos of performances and intermediate stages of work with the subsequent obligatory analyses of what has been shot by a camera. Given the experience of the University College in the preparation of theatrical excursions, it is worth considering the possibility of touring and festival performances of students as a source of experience in the formation of a specialist. Scenario reading of an unknown text by students is an optimal form of working with students of non-philological specialties. In most cases, staging is merely an element of a practical training; however, it plays its significant part in the building of professional competencies

Focuses on an important but overlooked building in late seventeenth-century London: the College of Physicians on Warwick Lane designed by the scientist and architect Robert Hooke in the 1670s. The building, which was commissioned in response to the previous college’s destruction in the Great Fire of London in 1666, was itself demolished in the nineteenth century. In this article, Matthew Walker argues that the conception and design of Hooke’s college had close links with the early Royal Society and its broader experimental philosophical program. This came about through the agency of Hooke—the society’s curator—as well as the prominence of the college’s physicians in the experimental philosophical group in its early years. By analyzing Hooke’s design for the college, and its prominent anatomy theater in particular, this article thus raises broader questions about architecture’s relationship with medicine and experimental science in early modern London.

Could you talk about that?SC: The way he did it. Bill has a very inventive, deeply personal, and unique way of moving, perhaps because he didn't come up through the sort of modern dance training sought by many African-American dancers. People in college told Bill that he should go to New York to be “finished” by Alvin Ailey and he really did not have an interest in that. Bill studied dance with Percival Borde and contact improvisation with Lois Welk and was a track star in high school and college. He did a lot of musical theater in high school with an English teacher he loved very much. Bill was about dancing his own way.

After recent tragedies involving mass murders on a college campus in Virginia, an Army base in Texas, a congressional constituent event at a shopping center in Arizona, and a movie theater in Colorado, one might have assumed the public had become numb to horrendous and senseless acts of killing. If so, one would have been wrong. The public was not prepared for the brutal and cold-blooded murder of 20 first-grade school children and six teachers and staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012.Following the all-too-familiar emotional stages of shock, grief, and anger, many members of the public and elected officials turned to the issue of how to prevent such tragedies in the future. Two main questions quickly became the focus of policy makers.

I am going to start with the premise that planetariums serve several roles in their communities:1. They are popularizers of astronomy and space science2. They support and enhance the teaching of astronomy and related subjects within the formal education system3. They provide a community resource for astronomical informationNot all planetariums incorporate all of these roles or do so to the same degree.Planetariums, as facilities, come in a variety of forms. At one extreme might be a space theater with its wide-format films. A major public facility would have a strong emphasis on public shows and school programming. A college or school facility would emphasize programming for the education system at some or all levels with some or no public programs. At the other extreme would be the small portable planetariums with 100 per cent use for school activities.

The theatricality of modern politics is an axiom available to every headline writer, every talk show host, and every college professor. National and international politics have become a branch of theater which is a branch of advertising. And most people who bother to note this commonplace complain about it. With the presidency of a movie actor, the headline writers have tended more and more to acknowledge the metaphor that animates their own activity. The press with its words and pictures, the newsreel, and then television have very self-consciously assumed the function of the stage in this century. Politicians step in as its actors while ad agencies produce, and we the people quietly sequestered in our living rooms play an uneasy role as a dispersed and silent audience, the weakest component of a global metaphor that has been with us at least since Shakespeare's time.

"Video Laryngoscopic Endotracheal Intubation in Cardiac Operation Theater - Experience at a Peripheral Tertiary Healthcare Centre of Bangladesh." Bangladesh Heart Journal 35, no. 1 (September 15, 2020): 47–53. http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bhj.v35i1.49142.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Endotracheal intubation is an essential primary skill for all anesthesiologists. For cardiac anesthesiologists rapid and proper intubation is more important as failure may cause serious consequences. Video laryngoscope provides a better real time view of the larynx, epiglottis and vocal cords. It also keeps the intubating anesthetist away from the patient as compared to conventional laryngoscopy. This may be very important in this COVID-19 era. To the best of our knowledge the Department of Cardiac Surgery and Cardiac Anesthesia of Chattogram Medical College & Hospital is the first center in Bangladesh to introduce video laryngoscope in cardiac OT.
The objective of this study was aimed to compare the intubation time, hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy, success rates and operator’s comfort using the conventional Macintosh laryngoscope and video laryngoscope in adult patients undergoing cardiac surgery.
Materials and Methods: A total of 60 adult patients were included in this comparative study, subjected to general anesthesia for cardiac surgery, intubated using either conventional Macintosh direct laryngoscope or video laryngoscope. Patients were intubated by 3 different consultant anesthesiologists with equal competency of our department.
Results: There was not much difference between Video laryngoscopy and conventional laryngoscopy in terms of intubation time and success rate. Video laryngoscopy exhibited less hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation; however, the difference was not statistically significant in this small group of patients. Operators were much more comfortable with Video laryngoscope than conventional laryngoscope particularly with the cases of difficult intubation because of the better glottic view with the former.
Conclusion: Video laryngoscope is preferred by cardiac anesthetists because of better glottic view.

Abstract This presentation explores aspects related to the Gerontology Health Certificate of Achievement program and the progression of their Enrollment Management Plan. It discusses how external forces have influenced changes to the plan during the last five years. Some of the strategies to be addressed are the incorporation of adult education courses to the career path; interdisciplinary collaborations with Health, Theater and Psychology Departments; partnerships with organizations such as American Association Family and Consumer Sciences; Association Gerontology in Higher Education, and private donors. The presenter also covers innovative teaching modalities such as laboratories, research, student club, and online teaching as an attempt to accommodate students’ needs. Lastly, it discusses the incorporation of workforce development data and how it is influenced by national and institutional policies and practices—ultimately creating a healthy environment to promote enrollment growth by strengthening student’s retention and completion.

Full textAbstract:
The familiarity bred by the notoriety in its own times of Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi has been accompanied by neglect for his other work, especially that which seems of peripheral interest to the theatre practitioner. In this article, Kimberly Jannarone argues that his earlier Caesar Antichrist falls into the unusual category of ‘a piece of theatre not intended for the stage’ – apparently unstageable, yet not a closet drama since, in Jarry's scrupulous care for its published form, he created his own ‘theatre of the book’, anticipating the later modernist use of collage while also demonstrating in words and pictures his ‘pataphysical’ interest in the dialectics of opposites. Kimberly Jannarone received her MFA and DFA from the Yale School of Drama, and is currently teaching in the Department of Theater Arts at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She wrote on ‘Puppetry and Pataphysics: Populism and the Ubu Cycle’, in NTQ67 (2001).

Full textAbstract:
In the autumn of 2015, on the back of the publication of my monograph Akram Khan: Dancing New Interculturalism (Mitra 2015), I was settling into my Brunel University London-sponsored sabbatical to kick-start my postdoctoral research project, then titled “Historicizing and Mapping British Physical Theatre.” At that stage, this new field of study, methodology, and tone of enquiry felt significantly different from the decolonial spirit of my book, which examines the works of the British-Bangladeshi dance artist Akram Khan at the intersections of postcoloniality, race, gender, sexuality, mobility, interculturalism, and globalization, arguing for his choreographic choices as discerning political acts that decenter the whiteness of contemporary western dance from his position within this center. With this new project I was keen, instead, to investigate the development of “British physical theatre” as an interdisciplinary genre that emerged interstitially between and through its “double legacy in both avant-garde theatre and dance” (Sánchez-Colberg 2007, 21) with a particular emphasis on what the import of the choreographic vocabulary of partnering would have brought to these experiments. Very conscious that the now ubiquitous aesthetic of partnering in contemporary Euro-American theater dance derived its roots from the somatic explorations of contact improvisation, I was intrigued to examine how the genre of British physical theatre would have engaged with choreographic touch from its somatic beginnings in contact improvisation to its politicized and aestheticized manifestation in partnering. I was also conscious, of course, of the role that Steve Paxton, the artist whose name has become synonymous with contact improvisation's inception and development in 1970s United States, had to play in teaching contact improvisation in the dance program at Dartington College of Arts in the United Kingdom (UK) in the 1970s and 1980s. Driven by a need to examine the potential relationship between Dartington's 1970s movement experiments with Paxton and contact improvisation, and the emergence of partnering as a key aesthetic within British contemporary dance, specifically its manifestation in physical theatre, I wanted to interview Paxton himself. Needless to say, I was of course fully aware of the difficulty in making such an important research opportunity materialize. However, within months, the remarkable generosity of our dance studies network, in this instance embodied by Professors Susan Foster and Ann Cooper Albright, and the dance artist Lisa Nelson, led me to the inbox of Steve Paxton himself in November 2015. Paxton was instantly responsive to my e-mail communications, and deeply invested and committed to sharing his experiences and insights with me. We arranged our Skype interview for early 2016, agreeing that this would give me enough time to research existing interviews with Paxton, in print and on video, to ensure that I could delineate my own questions for him in productive ways. The more I researched, the more a feature of the extensive archive of interviews with Paxton revealed itself: the predominant absence of bodies and perspectives of color from the early days of contact improvisation's experiments. This absence, in turn, became more and more present in my thinking.

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyzes the processes and outcomes involved with mentoring junior faculty in the reappointment, promotion, and tenure (RPT) process at a comprehensive state university and creating a culture supportive of engaged research. Although the university in this case study is governed by a collective bargaining agreement that prohibits the development of new written policies on RPT, the deans and other academic leaders can promote significant change through cultural means. The article will examine: the place of engaged scholarship within the reappointment, tenure, and promotion processes of the university; the university’s commitment to a cross-institutional research approach; the mentoring of faculty conducting innovative community projects; the university’s recent strategic plan initiative funding of collaborative cross-college and community projects; partnership with the city of Worcester’s Department of Public Health on applied scholarship related to five domains of public health currently establishedas the focus of efforts by the city and the region; and the innovative CitySpeak devised theater project. At this state university, strong leadership helped support a deepening culture of engaged teaching and scholarship and helped faculty negotiate the road of RPT.

Full textAbstract:
Apsura drama caused great twists in the history of Eelam Tamilans. The 1960s saw the emergence of a number of theatrical theories to express the inherent feelings of world drama and gave them new styles in the arena. They stood on different platforms in the theatrical setting and outside the river, focusing on the viewers and twisting their mental congestion to create clarity and taste. Absurd theatrical style also led to the development of new forms of action to bring their own unique inward expression to the history of the theater. The body language of the performer, the way the voice is expressed with fluctuations, and the stage movement gave a great turn. In its absurd style, Samuel Beckett wrote the play waiting for Godot. Waiting for Kodo changed the already builtin font structure, river mode, its acting, and stage movement, giving the viewer a new experience. The way language is handled in acting, the way it is spoken, the way it moves abnormally on stage, the meaning extends to acting with other character. The author N. Sundaralingam revealed in 1968 that the play Apasuram was written in the same style. It is a symbolic play that expresses the socio-cultural and political expression of the time. He brought the river to a standstill in 1975. Ordained by the College of Theater in 1978 and by the expatriate A.C. Tacitus in 1991. It was incorporated into Sri Lankan universities after 1991 in its full form and was developed in 2018 by a oneyear internship under the guidance of Senior Lecturer in Fine Arts, Eastern University, S. Chandrakumar. It was staged at the Nallaiya Hall on March 27 at the 2019 World Drama Festival. Voluntary, in order to respond to theatrical ethnographers, worked with self-discovery and invented new absurd modesty and evolved with creativity. The characters were shown on the stage shaking the body, moving, talking, lip muscle face, eye expression. The purpose of this study is to reveal the structure of the river, the way in which it is characterized by ethics, and the impact of cultural river sophistication.

College days are probably the most memorable years of a man or woman’s life. The students’ unions’ associations and entertainment building usually houses rooms for meetings and seminars, a book store, a small grocery store, a novelty store, a number of brand name fast and regular food restaurants, an arcade for games machines, bowling, ping pong, billiards, and a large space with appropriate seating for students and guests, and large screen TV’s and a movies theater. This paper proposes a scheme to build a risk managed students association building dedicated to the satisfaction of campus’ students’ and visitors’ needs. The return on its operations is assumed to be very rewarding to entrepreneurs and small businesses alike. This paper presents a case in which a union building is budgeted, three legal businesses leasing spaces within this building. The building’s budgeted capital is financed. The space leased by the three businesses represents a small percentage of the overall structure, however, its revenue and specifically input into the building’s investment is relatively much larger, emphasizing that the union’s building’s investment is a successful venture. An element of humorous sarcasm is introduced in describing one of the union building’s leasing businesses; a provision of an entertaining flavor to escort readers’ attention.

The article reveals the problems of spiritual and moral education of students of a pedagogical college located in a small city of Russia, Vilyuisk (Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). This settlement is very remote from the republican center (situated in the subarctic belt) with its rich historical past, originality and other unique characteristics. Initially, Vilyuisk was founded as a prison - a place of exile for the Decembrists, revolutionaries - Poles, Social Democrats, Bolsheviks, Socialist-Revolutionaries and others (M.I. Muravyev-Apostol, P.F. Duntsov - Vygodsky, N.G. Chernyshevsky whom the teacher's college is named after, etc.). The rich heritage of the past multiplied by the present acts as a powerful stimulant in the training of the students of the Vilyuisk Pedagogical College named after N.G. Chernyshevsky for future professional activities. In this context the extraordinary potential of museum pedagogy in the training of future specialists for preschool institutions is described. For these purposes after experimental testing a multifunctional educational platform has been created on the basis of the museum of the Vilyuisk Pedagogical College named after N.G. Chernyshevsky and it has been functioning. It works effectively as a purposefully organized socio-cultural environment influencing the stimulation of the creative interests of the students, enrichment of spiritual and moral concepts and it successfully functions as an open cultural and educational environment for professional and pedagogical activities, self-development of the students. In this context a special role belongs to the laboratories: development of children's environment, "We Draw Everything", music for everyone, theater for everyone, protection of historical and cultural monuments, pedagogical researches. The students of the experimental group in addition to the general training program for specialists have attended a course of extracurricular activities on the basis of the multifunctional educational platform. The stages of the formation of the spiritual and moral qualities of the students have been diagnosed and described. As a result, the features of the dynamics of the development of spiritual and moral culture of the students of the control and experimental groups have been revealed. The innovative experience of the Vilyuisk Pedagogical College can be extended to other regions of the Russian Federation.

A life of service to others ended on March 26, 2009, when professor emeritus George A. Warp of the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs of the University of Minnesota passed away at age 95. George was born on June 12, 1913, in Northfield, Ohio, and graduated from Bedford High School in Ohio. Prior to being associated with the University of Minnesota for the past 60 years, he graduated from Oberlin College, Case Western University, and Columbia University, earning degrees in political science, public administration, international administration, as well as law. George served briefly as a political science faculty member at the University of Minnesota, where he met and married his late wife, Lois, in 1940 before entering the U.S. Navy following the entry of the United States into World War II. His service in the Pacific theater led to his postwar appointment as a civilian advisor under General MacArthur in Japan from 1946–1948. Upon completion of that assignment, George returned to the University of Minnesota in 1948 as a professor of political science and served first as associate director and then director of the graduate program in public administration in the department's Public Administration Center until 1965 when the center became a self-standing unit of the College of Liberal Arts. He remained director through 1968 when the center was succeeded by the School of Public Affairs and recreated as the Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs in 1978 as a collegiate unit named as a memorial honoring the late vice president and Minnesota's senator. George served as a professor and chair of graduate admissions until his retirement in 1982.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the effectiveness of two rape prevention programs on rape-supportive beliefs among college students. The effectiveness was examined in terms of whether or not the students knew someone who had been sexually assaulted, knew someone who had committed a sexual assault, or were themselves a victim of sexual assault. The participants were divided into three groups. One group participated in a didactic rape prevention program involving primarily lecture and video instruction. The second group participated in an experiential rape prevention program utilizing improvisational theater. The third group was the control group. The 55 participants completed two attitude scales developed by Burt (1980): Adversarial Sexual Beliefs (ASB) and Rape Myth Acceptance (RMA). They then participated in their workshop and took the attitude scales again as a post-treatment test Two weeks later, the participants took a follow-up post-treatment test using the same attitude scales. Participants who had been victims of sexual assault scored significantly lower than non-victims in the ASB and RMA across all groups. It was also found that participants who had any previous experience with sexual assault, such as familiarity with a victim or an offender, scored significantly lower in rape-supportive beliefs after participating in the didactic program than participants who had no previous experience with sexual assault.

Background: We are currently in the era of laparoscopic surgery. It has gained popularity in the last few decades because of its well- known advantages. Laparoscopy requires different skills from those of open surgery. In a paradigm shift, learning basic surgical skills is now performed more in the skills laboratory than in the operation theater. However, there is a lack of reliable training and assessment tools for laparoscopic surgical skills. This study aimed to objectively assess the effect of bench laparoscopic training in novices.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted at the Clinical Skills Centre of Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMCRI) in Bangalore, India. Sixty interns with no previous experience in laparoscopy were included. They underwent supervised training on the box trainer for 3 days, 2 hours a day, in basic surgical tasks, including pointing dots, joining straight lines, joining curved lines, picking objects, peg transfer, and circle cut. All participants were assessed objectively in a virtual reality (VR) simulator before and after training. The objective outcomes measured were time taken, distance traveled, and error scores given by the VR simulator metrics.
Results: The novices showed statistically significant improvement in all the tasks after the training compared with their skill levels before the training.
Conclusion: Structured short-term training significantly improves basic laparoscopic surgery skills.

AbstractThis study was carried out to find out the age, sex, mode of injury, localization, clinical presentation, CT findings, operative measures and outcome of extradural haematoma in the patient population at Dhaka Medical College. 610 consecutive patients with cranial extradural haematoma who underwent surgery in department of Neurosurgery from 1st January 2006 to 6th October 2008 were included in this prospective study. Each of the patients were evaluated in term of age, sex, mode of injury, localization of haematoma, clinical presentation, CT findings, operative measures and outcome. Out of 610 cases 86.32 % were male and 13.78 % were female. The male and female ratio was 6.27: 1. Age ranged from 2.5 to 83 years. Commonest age group was 21 to 30 years. Commonest mode of injury was Road traffic Accident 53.45%, followed by Assaults. Most common clinical presentation was headache / Vomiting 63.61 %, followed by altered sensorium 60.66 %. In this present prospective study of 610 cases of EDH, temporo parietal site was involved in 33.45 % followed by frontal region in 23.28 %. Sixty five patients (10.66 %) died; 19 of these had associated brain injuries and 28 cases were deeply unconscious. Extradural haematoma is a neurosurgical emergency where early surgical intervention is associated with the best prognosis. Many factors affects the outcome of extradural haematoma surgery and the most important one is the duration of time between incident/accident and operation in neurosurgical operation theater; mortality can be close to 0% if this time interval can be minimized.

Background: Injection is considered as one of the key procedures of drug delivery all over the world. Unsafe injection practices are very common in countries like India. This study was aimed to assess knowledge, attitude and practice of injection safety in a tertiary care hospital of Tripura.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 participants including staff nurses, operation theater (OT) assistants and laboratory technicians of Tripura Medical College and Dr. BRAM Teaching Hospital, Hapania; who were primarily involved in routine injection practices related to patient care from January 15th to February 14th 2018. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 16.0.Results: Majority (77%) of the participants in this study belonged to 18 to 25 years age group and were females (71.3%); mostly were nurses (88%), followed by OT assistants (6.3%) and laboratory technicians (5.7%) respectively. Good injection safety practices were reported by majority of the participants (67.3%). Higher mean age with knowledge of injection safety, nurses as compared to others and probational work experience than permanent were found to have significant association with safe injection practices of the participants.Conclusions: Even though study findings showed good practice related to injection safety among the health care personnel like similar other studies in this country, still improvement is required to fulfil the gap in knowledge and attitude of the health care providers to keep unsafe injection to the minimum level.

Full textAbstract:
Background: All-inside meniscal repair is an increasingly common technique for the surgical treatment of meniscal tears. There are currently no standardized techniques for training residents in this procedure. Cognitive task analysis (CTA) is a method of analyzing and standardizing key steps in a procedure that allows training to be conducted in a validated and reproducible manner. Purpose: (1) To design a digital CTA teaching tool for a standardized all-inside meniscal repair. (2) To evaluate whether CTA-trained residents would perform better in a meniscal repair task compared with a control group who underwent traditional apprenticeship methods of training. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Three expert knee surgeons were interviewed using a modified Delphi method to generate a consensus among the ideal technical steps, cognitive decision points, and common errors and solutions for an all-inside meniscal repair. This written information was then combined with visual and audio components and integrated onto a digital platform to create the Imperial College London/University College London Meniscus Repair Cognitive Task Analysis (IUMeRCTA) tool. Eighteen novice residents were randomized into an intervention group (digital CTA tool) and control group (equipment instruction manual). Both groups performed an all-inside meniscal repair on high-fidelity, phantom knee models and were assessed by expert surgeons, blinded to the interventions, using a validated global rating scale (GRS). After a power calculation, median GRS scores were compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney U test; significance was set at P < .05. Results: For the IUMeRCTA tool design, the procedure was divided into 55 steps across 9 phases: (1) preoperative planning, (2) theater and patient setup, (3) portal placement, (4) meniscal examination, (5) tear reduction, (6) suture planning, (7) suture insertion, (8) repair completion, and (9) postoperative care and rehabilitation. For the trial, the intervention group (mean ± SD GRS, 32 ± 2.9) performed significantly better than did the control group (GRS, 24 ± 3.3; P < .001). Conclusion: This is the first CTA tool to demonstrate objective benefits in training novices to perform an arthroscopic all-inside meniscal repair.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents results from the latest survey on German theater at Northern American colleges and universities. The survey covers the period since the last such query in 1991 until 2006. It assesses a growth in theater productions in German and the logistics surrounding them, and it lists the most performed plays and the most popular authors performed. Finally, the article identifies areas of concern for those working in German theater at academic institutions and invites interested colleagues to join a newly established network that serves to facilitate the exchange of ideas, cooperation, and recognition of foreign language theater as a key contribution to a language program’s offerings.
