Abstract:

The precolonial architectural history of the northern Upper Guinea coast from the Gambia to the Geba rivers has yet to be studied in depth. Yet this region, the first to be visited and described by European travelers in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, is among the best-documented parts of sub-Saharan Africa for the four centuries of precolonial African-European contact. The establishment of communities of Luso-African traders in the sixteenth and seventeenth century makes the Gambia-Casamance-Bissau area important to the study of early sustained cultural interaction between Europe

Abstract:

<p>Wrestling is a natural human activity and it is represented in a large number of countries and cultures. In secondary education, combat sports can help students develop relevant skills and attitudes. Wrestling exercises develop motor, perceptual and affective capacities, since wrestling is a close contact sport. The objective of this work was to design a bilingual teaching unit aimed at the secondary education, where wrestling exercises are used to achieve educational purposes related to learning Olympic Wrestling and fostering situations of communication in English.

Abstract:

Parents pay a significant attention to the first words children utter. However, first words are not the actual beginning of communication. Much earlier, babies begin to communicate their feeling via making eye contact, pointing, crying, squealing, and other gestures. Furthermore, they perceive language earlier than making others understand them. The aim of this paper is to tackle the variations between the two sexes starting from the stages of language acquisition in normal children, the differences between the two genders in language vocalization within each stage. Next, the distinctions in a

Abstract:

Recent reexamination of pottery, copper objects, and glass trade beads using modern analytic methods has amended the occupational history of the Cloudman site (20CH6), once interpreted as an early “Contact” period site in Michigan. The original chronology of the site, located on northern Michigan's Drummond Island in Lake Huron, was based on an apparent association of Iroquoian pottery with European-made trade goods relatively dated to circa AD 1630. Current advances in archaeological dating methods have revealed new insights into the poorly understood settlement patterns and social interactio

Abstract:

This is a delightful book. It opens up a cultural arena much neglected in scholarship on China. Nine engagingly narrated chapters take us through the history of Sino-foreign musical contact since the late 19th century, with one digression, which goes back to encounters since the 16th century (chapter two). The book follows the life story of three important institutions (the Shanghai Municipal Orchestra, the Shanghai Conservatory and the Central Conservatory) and three important men: violinist Tan Shuzhen, who was the first Chinese to join the orchestra in colonial Shanghai; conductor Li Delun,

Abstract:

Nationalism: Past as Prologue began as a single volume being compiled by Ad Akande, a scholar from South Africa, who proposed it to me as co-author about two years ago. The original idea was to examine how the damaging roots of nationalism have been corroding political systems around the world, and creating dangerous obstacles for necessary international cooperation. Since I (Bruce E. Johansen) has written profusely about climate change (global warming, a.k.a. infrared forcing), I suggested a concerted effort in that direction.

Abstract:

This chapter talks about the different teaching strategies nurses employ to train caregivers, and the different ways in which caregivers learn in training. Nurses develop strategies based on caregivers' and care recipients' readiness and different levels of knowledge. One of the first things they report doing when making initial contact is to find out what the expectations are, and manage them. Another strategy nurses say they use, especially if someone is hesitant or has anxiety, is to give emotional reassurance, including “lots of praise,” positive reinforcement, and encouragement. In terms of hands-on work, all nurses state that the general process is to demonstrate to the caregiver and/or care recipient exactly what they are going to do, allow them to watch and ask questions, and then observe a return demonstration. It is evident that there is a great deal of variability in how home health nurses convey information. While some of this may be due to agency policies or norms, nurses have different teaching philosophies and styles and are often given much leeway as to how they transmit information. The fragmented nature of the system means that caregivers may experience vast differences in communication processes and in the training they receive. The chapter discusses how caregivers train in three different conditions: caregivers who received prolonged training in rehabilitation facilities and hospitals, caregivers who received some training in hospitals, and caregivers who received little or no training in hospitals.

Abstract:

This chapter explores how Port City youth invest in displaying their socially mobile markers not only through school, work, and bourgeois heteronormative life but also through their everyday styles and consumptions. Youth performed class in their daily lives by producing mobility symbols in their leisure practices, clothing, music, vernacular, and food preferences. To manage their haphazard educational and occupational trajectories, the youth redefined mobility into goals that were achievable. While the majority of our understanding of youth regarding race/ethnicity, gender, and class is based on school ethnographies, a context in which students often perform class through memberships in groups that are part of a hierarchical order, this chapter frames meanings of class and youth cultural production by considering how youth perform social mobility in everyday life as they transition to adulthood. When highlighting how youth managed uncertain trajectories by redefining mobility, this chapter emphasizes the points of contact between the marginalized Port City youth and middle-class people who facilitated their access to middle-class cultural capital while also causing “hidden injuries” of class and race. Youth consumed certain foods, visited certain restaurants, watched shows, and even left Port City to claim membership in the middle class—and sometimes this further constrained opportunities.

Abstract:

This chapter aims to present Code, a friendly environment where students without previous programming experience can explore core-programming concepts in a motivating manner. It consists of a platform style game where students can control a virtual robot having their first contact with the construction of small pseudocode blocks. Research in teaching and learning of programming present several reasons for the difficulties students face when starting programming. In this chapter we have pointed out some of them. The studies performed also indicated that the aspects related to problem solving are the principal factors to attack in order to solve this problem. However, the main concern is how to provide a motivating environment that engages the student in computational thinking and problem solving. Code Factory's main objective is to create a new strategy making learning more stimulating for the students emphasizing problem solving in order to help develop fundamental programming skills.

Owing to making use of the normal vector of the transient contact line, the style of the obtained formulae is more elegant.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), commonly known as the liver cancer, is a severe health concern worldwide. For patients with liver tumors that are difficult to remove through traditional treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy and partial hepatectomy, there is the option of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment. RFA is a minimally invasive procedure that is currently treating liver tumors that are relatively small in size. Radiofrequency ablation uses currents to heat up the tissue of the tumor.

Although most people can perform several simple activities concurrently, such as eating and watching television (Sharon, 1997), making simultaneous decisions is difficult (Pashler & Johnston, 1998). For the majority, task overload causes errors in performance (Girard, 2007), a decline in the quality of treatment (Ruthruff et al., 2001), and longer reaction time (Levy et al., 2006).
