Full textAbstract:
This essay tests what we might call the racialization-as-secularization thesis through an examination of a year in the intellectual and literary life of Frederick Douglass—from the summer of 1854, when he delivered his commencement address at Western Reserve College, “The Claims of the Negro Ethnologically Considered” (his direct response to the American School of Ethnology), to the summer of 1855, when his second autobiography, My Bondage and My Freedom, was published. “Claims” reveals that Douglass apprehended in the American School of Ethnology a distillation of the problem of race past internecine contentions about the interpretation of this or that biblical verse or curse to a bottom-line Christian-theistic question: What does the enslaved black body signify within a creationist framework? This confrontation of racial slavery as a theodical problem can help us account for the most salient difference of his second autobiography—its recourse to mythic drama of the sort associated with Romantic titanism. Douglass’s bravura performance of Romantic titanism in My Bondage and My Freedom underscores the extent to which Douglass abandoned the Christian millenarianism of the Garrisonian camp not for a tacitly secularist political abolitionism but rather for what we might call a heretical political-theological abolitionism that provides fruitful fodder for current historical and philosophical debates about secularity, secularism, and immanence.

By way of its uniquely concurrent practice + academic learning model, the Boston Architectural College (BAC) has begun a thriving tradition of community engagement through design. This paper uncovers how design/build formats -cast as a service-learning projects - have the potential to foster profound student learning opportunities, improve the urban environment through design engagement and community action, and inform architectural accreditation. Though exceptionally rewarding, the design/build model is not without challenges. The authors utilize their unique perspectives as design educators and community members to deliver both a narrative account and critical analysis for a case study of one such learning model. The Frederick Douglas Peace Park project, conducted in 2008 as part of the authors’ Urban Design Build (UDB) format is an example of a grassroots initiative met with the support of an institution of design education. The project revitalizes a neglected neighborhood by activating forgotten space - rebuilding a sense of community and creating a place of memorial for a much-revered American Civil Rights Activist. Emanating from Grichting’s neighborhood peace park, Sturgeon’s UDB project extended grassroots momentum to community event programming and served as a catalyst for additional reclamation projects: a string of public spaces and the rehabilitation of a community center once on the verge of being torn down and privatized.

Ever since the first flowering of scholarship on women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, convents have occupied a central place in historians' estimate of the position of women in medieval and early modern Europe. In 1910, Emily James Putnam, the future dean and president of Barnard College, wrote enthusiastically in The Lady, her path-breaking study of medieval and renaissance aristocratic women, “No institution in Europe has ever won for the lady the freedom of development that she enjoyed in the convent in the early days. The modern college for women only feebly reproduces it.” In equally pioneering works published in the same period, both Lena Eckenstein and Eileen Power recognized the significance of the nunnery in providing a socially acceptable place for independent single women.Many contemporary historians share this positive view of convents. In Becoming Visible, one of the most widely read surveys of European women's history, for example, William Monter wrote approvingly of convents as “socially prestigious communities of unmarried women.” Similarly, Jane Douglass praised nunneries for their importance in providing women with the only “visible, official role” allotted to them in the church, while Merry Wiesner, sharing Eckenstein and Power's perspective, has observed that, unlike other women, nuns were “used to expressing themselves on religious matters and thinking of themselves as members of a spiritual group. In her recently published study of early modern Seville, to give a final example, Mary Perry criticized the assumption that nuns were oppressed by the patriarchal order that controlled their institutions; instead, she emphasized the ways in which religious women “empowered themselves through community, chastity, enclosure and mystical experiences.”

Full textAbstract:
Abstract:I begin by recounting the market demands that created an opportunity for me to teach business ethics in the College of Business at St. Cloud State University. The AACSB and my educational institution focused amorphous social demands for better business practices into a specific demand for a philosophy Ph.D. to teach business ethics. I felt frustrated teaching business ethics because of my inexperience and the eclectic nature of the field. I, and many others, searched for something to unify the many topics of the field. This search was one of the factors that led to BEQ’s appearance in 1991. The first issue marked a milestone in the continuing search for theory and the legitimization of the field. It focused previous discussions and was remarkably prescient. While it is unlikely that we will reach a consensus about how to understand the field, if consensus ever comes close to occurring, I argue that it will not coalesce over stakeholder theory. I examine two theories that could be used as a grand unified theory (GUT) of business ethics: Integrated Social Contracts Theory and my own institutional theory that expands on the work of Douglass North’s view of economic institutions. I use the discussion of these GUTs to develop criteria of what a successful GUT might look like. Based on these criteria, I argue that the institutional theory has a better chance of succeeding, but recognize that business ethics GUTs are primarily heuristic; many different types of theories can be helpful. Lastly, I discuss whether it is pretentious and overbearing to argue for a GUT. I argue that it need not be.

Professor William Wilton Douglas was an outstanding scientist, known particularly for his seminal work on elucidating the mechanisms underlying secretion within the endocrine system. In 1967 he became the first recipient of the John Gaddum Memorial Award from the British Pharmacological Society. The second such award was given in 1968 to J.R. (later Sir John) Vane (F.R.S. 1974) who, at the time of a memorial celebration of Douglas's life in 1998, remarked that: ‘We had a running joke about him being number one and me number two’. In 1975 Douglas received the Harry van Dyke Memorial Award from Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. In 1983 he was elected a Fellow of The Royal Society. In honouring him, the Society specifically cited his seminal contributions to our knowledge of the physiology and pharmacology of the endocrine systems. He was a man of great insight and splendid humour and will be missed by all who knew him.

Full textAbstract:
Low-carbon transport system is desired for sustainable cities. The study aims to compare carbon footprint of two transportation modes in campus transit, bus and bike-share systems, using life-cycle assessment (LCA). A case study was conducted for the four-campus (College Ave, Cook/Douglass, Busch, Livingston) transit system at Rutgers University (New Brunswick, NJ). The life-cycle of two systems were disaggregated into four stages, namely, raw material acquisition and manufacture, transportation, operation and maintenance, and end-of-life. Three uncertain factors—fossil fuel type, number of bikes provided, and bus ridership—were set as variables for sensitivity analysis. Normalization method was used in two impact categories to analyze and compare environmental impacts. The results show that the majority of CO2 emission and energy consumption comes from the raw material stage (extraction and upstream production) of the bike-share system and the operation stage of the campus bus system. The CO2 emission and energy consumption of the current campus bus system are 46 and 13 times of that of the proposed bike-share system, respectively. Three uncertain factors can influence the results: (1) biodiesel can significantly reduce CO2 emission and energy consumption of the current campus bus system; (2) the increased number of bikes increases CO2 emission of the bike-share system; (3) the increase of bus ridership may result in similar impact between two systems. Finally, an alternative hybrid transit system is proposed that uses campus buses to connect four campuses and creates a bike-share system to satisfy travel demands within each campus. The hybrid system reaches the most environmentally friendly state when 70% passenger-miles provided by campus bus and 30% by bike-share system. Further research is needed to consider the uncertainty of biking behavior and travel choice in LCA. Applicable recommendations include increasing ridership of campus buses and building a bike-share in campus to support the current campus bus system. Other strategies such as increasing parking fees and improving biking environment can also be implemented to reduce automobile usage and encourage biking behavior.

In this article Roger Porter analyzes five plays about Oscar Wilde, by Leslie and Sewell Stokes, David Hare, Eric Bentley, Moises Kaufman, and Terry Eagleton. He focuses on various aspects of the three Wilde trials of 1895, and shows how, while the plays employ verbatim transcripts of the court records, they use the latter in quite different ways and with different emphases, suggesting how the several playwrights regard Douglas in his relation with Wilde, as well as Douglas's implication in the verdict. Several of the plays focus almost exclusively on Wilde's personality, while others engage with larger issues, including Victorian moral regulation of sexuality, the relation of art to society, and English attitudes towards the Irish. He also stresses how the plays’ dramaturgy relates to their perspectives on Wilde, especially on his cultural role. Roger Porter is Professor Emeritus of English, Reed College, Portland, Oregon, USA. He is the author of Self-Same Songs: Autobiographical Performances and Reflections (University of Nebraska Press), Bureau of Missing Persons: Writing the Secret Lives of Fathers (Cornell University Press), and co-editor (with Sandra Gilbert) of Eating Words: a Norton Anthology of Food Writing.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Interest in managing Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) forests in the Pacific Northwest under silvicultural systems other than traditional clearcutting has prompted research on the efficacy of alternative systems for successful regeneration and sustained timber productivity of Douglas-fir. The College of Forestry Integrated Research Project, implemented by Oregon State University, was established to compare various ecosystem responses and public perceptions among treatments implemented under clearcutting, shelterwood-with-reserves, and group selection silvicultural systems. The objective of this analysis was to quantify the following three responses of planted Douglas-fir seedlings to initial regeneration cuts: cumulative 13-year height growth (H13yr; 1992–2004), cumulative 13-year diameter growth (D13yr; 1992–2004), and most recent 5-year height growth (ΔH5yr; 2000–2004). Differences in variability of overstory density at the treatment level led to significant differences in the variance of understory growth responses. After accounting for heterogeneous variance, analysis of variance indicated significant treatment effects for all three responses. Treatment effects were explained by the decline in H13yr, D13yr, and ΔH5yr with increasing overstory competition as represented by basal area of residual trees immediately after harvesting (initial basal area). Predicted height:diameter ratio of Douglas-fir seedlings increased as IBA increased. Under regeneration methods that retain a portion of the overstory, a residual overstory with basal area <80 ft2/ac allows establishment, growth, and continued survival of Douglas-fir regeneration during the 13 years following harvest.

Dr Albert Douglas Courtemanche was born in Gravenhurst, Ontario on November 16, 1929. In 1949, he was accepted to the University of Toronto Medical School, graduating in 1955. After completing his internship at the Toronto General Hospital and at the Hospital for Sick Children, he completed his surgical training in Vancouver and in the United Kingdom. When Dr Courtemanche returned from his training in 1962, he joined Dr Cowan on the surgical staff at the Vancouver General Hospital. He was responsible for establishing a new plastic surgery ward, a dedicated operating room (OR), an integrated burn unit and also starting the UBC plastic surgery training program. Dr Courtemanche became involved in working with the Royal College, first as an examiner and then as the Chairman of the Plastic Surgery Exam Board in 1981. He eventually became the first and only plastic surgeon to ever hold the position as President of the Royal College. Dr Courtemanche emphasized throughout his career the importance of teaching and role modeling. A very proud moment in Dr Courtemanche’s career was when his son Douglas became a pediatric plastic surgeon. After retiring Dr Courtemanche became a volunteer at the VanDusen Botanical Garden and completed their Master Gardeners Program.

In response to public dissatisfaction with forest management methods, we initiated the College of Forestry Integrated Research Project (CFIRP) to test alternative silvicultural systems in Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) stands in western Oregon. We compared costs and biological and human responses among a control and three replicated silvicultural alternatives to clearcutting that retained structural features found in old Douglas-fir forests. Treatments were applied within 8- to 15-ha stands and attempted to mimic crown fires (modified clearcut), windthrow (green tree retention), and small-scale impacts such as root rot diseases (small patch group selection). We also compared costs in three unreplicated treatments (large patch group selection, wedge cut, and strip cut). Each treatment included differences in the pattern of retained dead trees (snags), as either scattered individuals or as clumps. Good communication among researchers and managers, a long-term commitment to the project, and careful documentation of research sites and data are important to the success of long-term silvicultural research projects. To date, over 30 publications have resulted from the project. Key words: alternative silviculture, data management, Douglas-fir, green tree retention, harvesting costs, human dimensions, Oregon, Pseudotsuga menziesii, recreation, wildlife

Full textAbstract:
Purpose —The oversupply of college graduates and increasing competition in the Chinese urban labor market have forced college students to undertake internships much earlier and to a greater intensity in the hope of boosting their employment prospects. It may be argued that the considerable time and energy thus spent on internships is deleterious to their university studies. The paper considers the factors that determine the intensity of an internship experience. Design/Approach/Methods —Building on a Cobb-Douglas utility function, the paper constructs a Prisoners’ Dilemma game to model the internship behavior of Chinese college students, and then examines the determinants of internship using data from a 2011 survey of approximately 10,000 Chinese college students from 47 higher education institutions in the Beijing metropolitan area and multivariate regression analysis. Findings —Empirical results confirm three key hypotheses derived from our model: first, students’ perceptions of higher differentials across available jobs in the labor market entice them to intern excessively; second, the improving quality of college teaching and the consequent benefit for knowledge acquisition mitigates the need for excessive internship; third, student preferences for fundamental knowledge acquisition also tilts the balance towards more study and less internship. Originality/Value —These findings suggest that in the context of a tight graduate labor market, improving the quality of college teaching provides a viable alternative to excessive internship by students.

Abstract This essay tells the story of Francis J. Grimké. It incorporates several crucial strands in American history: chattel slavery, racialized sexual exploitation, early historically black colleges, Jim Crow violence, early organizing against racism, and the Harlem Renaissance. It draws together diverse notables with whom Francis had sustained personal contact: the Grimké sisters, Frederick Douglass, Charles Hodge, W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Wells, and Anna Julia Cooper. Grimké’s story certainly deserves telling. But, as I argue in the second part of the essay, his story also offers new insight into the role intimacy can play in the hard work of social criticism.

Full textAbstract:
The pressures of Thatcherism on theatre funding in the 'eighties were severe, but the early harshness was tempered by several factors. One was the positive influence of the Cork Report, particularly on touring and experimental theatre. Another, the authors believe, was a careful strategy of reallocation of funding to support creativity in English theatre, notably through the touring franchise scheme. Here, they analyze in detail the ways in which the English Arts Council operated the scheme in an attempt to revitalize aspects of English theatre from 1986 onwards, trace the change in the values of ‘political’ theatre over that period, and critically examine some received ideas in the light of the available evidence.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundThe Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) has identified a need for biomarkers to predict which patients (pts) with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are most likely to respond to a specific therapy. Failure to identify effective treatments early on results in sub-optimal PsA disease management. Tofacitinib is an oral JAK inhibitor for the treatment of PsA. The efficacy and safety of tofacitinib 5 and 10 mg twice daily (BID) in pts with PsA have been demonstrated.1,2ObjectivesTo identify protein biomarker candidates, which may identify responders (R) vs non-responders (NR) to treatment of PsA, using mass spectrometry-based proteomics.MethodsBaseline (BL) serum samples from pts with PsA receiving tofacitinib 5 or 10 mg BID, adalimumab or placebo in OPAL Broaden (NCT01877668)1 were analysed. Pts were identified as R and NR based on the Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Score (PASDAS) at Month 3; pts with lowest PASDAS ≤3.2 were defined as R, those with highest PASDAS >3.2 as NR. Two proteomic strategies were employed for analysis of BL serum samples: (1) targeted mass spectrometric multiple reaction monitoring analysis of an in-house panel (‘PAPRICA’) comprising of 206 proteins, originally developed to distinguish between different arthropathies, and (2) unbiased discovery liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). PAPRICA data were normalised using two methods: normalisation to stable isotopically labelled peptide spike-ins (SIL; corrects for fluctuations in sample injections/mass spectrometry loading amounts), and normalisation to an endogenous peptide panel representing total serum protein abundance (TSPA; corrects for different amounts of total serum protein across samples). Univariate analyses (Student’s t-test) and multivariate machine learning Random Forest (RF) modelling3 were performed. Univariate analysis of the PAPRICA panel of proteins was performed on R vs NR, and within each treatment arm, with no adjustment for multiplicity.Results96 pts were identified as 47 R and 49 NR based on PASDAS scores. Of pts receiving tofacitinib 5 or 10 mg BID (data pooled), adalimumab or placebo, there were 26 R vs 26 NR, 13 R vs 13 NR and 8 R vs 10 NR, respectively. Results from univariate analysis identified 110 differentially expressed PAPRICA peptides between R vs NR (p≤0.05). RF multivariate analysis of all data (n=96) revealed a set of PAPRICA peptide signatures with the ability to differentiate between R and NR. Two RF models generated from the PAPRICA peptide data had training area under curves (AUCs) 0.956 [95% CI 0.93, 0.99] (TSPA) and 0.959 [95% CI 0.94, 0.98] (SIL). In total, 115 PAPRICA peptides representing 87 proteins were identified as potential biomarkers for predicting treatment response. Using unbiased discovery LC-MS/MS, univariate analysis of all data revealed one candidate peptide biomarker (p≤0.05). RF modelling revealed peptides that contributed to two prediction models with training AUCs of 0.903 [95% CI 0.86, 0.96] and 0.928 [95% CI 0.89, 0.96]. In total, from unbiased discovery LC-MS/MS, 66 peptides representing 39 proteins that may act as potential peptide biomarkers were identified in univariate and multivariate analyses.ConclusionUsing two complementary proteomic approaches and a combination of univariate and machine learning models, a total of 181 candidate biomarker peptides corresponding to 106 proteins have been identified that may act as potential biomarkers for predicting response to treatment of PsA. Further study is required to verify and evaluate these candidate biomarkers, and we will report how these proteins map to biological processes, pathways and networks.References[1]Mease et al.

Full textAbstract:
D.R. Wilkie entered University College London (UCL), which was to be his lifelong academic home, in 1940 to study medicine on the shortened wartime course. He soon showed his great academic ability and won the Rockefeller Scholarship that took him to Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, for the last year of his medical education, where he obtained his MD. He returned to University College Hospital as house physician in 1944 and, quite exceptionally, obtained his MRCP in that same academic year. The Physiology Department of UCL appointed him to an assistant lectureship in 1945 when he was 23 years old and, apart from a period of military service at the Institute of Aviation Medicine in Farnborough, from 1948 to 1950, he worked there until his retirement in 1988. During the period 1951–54 he held a Locke Fellowship of The Royal Society. In 1945 A.V. Hill, F.R.S., then nearly 60, had returned to his laboratories at UCL to resume the muscle research interrupted by the war. Wilkie evidently soon fell under his spell and he took up some of Hill's lifelong interests: the mechanics of muscle, its relation to human performance and the application of thermodynamics to muscle contraction. In addition, he adopted something of Hill's style of research, characterized by the application of basic principles and measurements from physics, mathematics and chemistry to the understanding of the behaviour of human or muscle, together with ingenuity in the invention of methods. Wilkie's research work started with the application of muscle mechanics to human movement. He critically tested the current theories of muscle mechanics and then took up the question of the supply of chemical energy for muscle contraction. Through initiating collaborations he brought together the experimental study of the chemical changes in muscle with that of the output of energy as heat and as work. These experiments, along with his 1960 review (12)*, put this subject of ‘chemical energetics of muscle contraction’ back on the thermodynamic rails from which it had strayed and allowed the subject to make further progress, exposing again the limitations of the current theories. In 1969 A.F. (later Sir Andrew) Huxley, F.R.S. (P.R.S. 1980–85), head of UCL's Physiology Department, stepped aside to take a Royal Society Chair and it was natural that Wilkie, by then holder of a personal chair and a major force in medical education, should be asked to lead the department. He filled that role conscientiously for 10 years. Although his personal involvement in scientific experimentation had consequently to be reduced during this period, his interest in muscle energy supply led to a new enthusiasm: the application of magnetic resonance spectroscopy, first to the study of isolated muscles, in collaboration with G.K. Radda (F.R.S. 1980) and D.G. Gadian in Oxford, and then, with his UCL colleagues R.H.T. Edwards (Medicine), D.T. Delpy (F.R.S. 1999) (Medical Physics) and E.O.R. Reynolds (F.R.S. 1993) (Paediatrics), to the study of the brains of newborn babies. Wilkie was elected to Fellowship of The Royal Society in 1971 and to Fellowship of UCL in 1972.

Full textAbstract:
This study seeks to establish substantive empirical evidence on the role of college and non-college labour in productivity through technical efficiency in the manufacturing sector in the U.S. economy. This investigation fits a Cobb-Douglas stochastic frontier function with inefficiency effects to a set of panel data for 15 manufacturing industries over the period from 1998 to 2019. The contribution of this paper lies in the application of the stochastic frontier analysis following the approach of Caudill et al. (1995) by estimating and testing stochastic frontier production functions, assuming the presence of heteroscedasticity in the one-sided error term (inefficiency), which provides robust estimates of the technical efficiency measures. This paper also contributes to the literature in the sense that it follows the Hadri (1999) approach and its extension for panel data, Hadri et al. (2003), assuming the existence of heteroscedasticity in both error terms (the one-sided inefficiency term and the two-sided symmetric random noise). The rationale for the double heteroscedasticity estimation is that it results in more accurate measures of the effects of the technical efficiency determinants. Therefore, it adds another layer of confidence in the economic analysis of the impact of human capital components on the manufacturing sector efficiency and by extension, its productivity. The stochastic frontier results show the effects of highly educated workers and low educated workers – proxied by college and non-college labour – on technical inefficiency. This is where the maximum likelihood estimates suggest that the increase in the percentage of the hours worked by college workers tends to contribute positively to technological efficiency in the U.S. manufacturing industries. While on the minus side, it can be noted that the rise in the share of the hours worked by non-college persons seems to have negative impact on efficiency in these industries.

Part I of this essay sketches the history of laboratory teaching of medical physiology in England from the perspective of the author as a student at Oxford from 1935 to 1938. The systematic laboratory teaching that began in the 1870s at University College London under William Sharpey was carried to Oxford, as well as to other English and Scottish universities, by Sharpey's junior colleagues. C. S. Sherrington added mammalian experiments, and C. G. Douglas and J. G. Priestley added experiments on human subjects. The author describes his experience as a student in the Oxford courses and tells how he learned physiology by teaching it from 1941 to 1943 in the laboratory course established at the University of Pennsylvania by Oxford-trained physiologist Cuthbert Bazett.

In the two decades since the first exhibition of Douglas Gordon's 24 Hour Psycho (1993), “appropriation”—a mainstay of visual art since the mid-twentieth century—has also become a mainstay of experimental filmmaking and artists' film and video. Montages, collages, found-footage documentaries, essay films, and diverse other works made from pre-existing moving images now feature regularly at film festivals, in museum cinematheques, and in art galleries. Yet beyond the protective walls of these cultural institutions, a global copyright war is raging. Over recent years, media owners have become ever more assertive of their intellectual property rights, while activists have become ever bolder in their demands for radical open access. How have film and video artists responded to these differing views about what constitutes our cultural commons? This article explores the question by focusing on two test cases: Thom Andersen's essay film Los Angeles Plays Itself (2003) and Christian Marclay's video collage The Clock (2011). Both involve unlicensed reuse of pre-existing film and television material. However, in their overall conception, methods of production, and distribution and exhibition, Andersen's and Marclay's works provide opposing models for how to engage with media property. The article concludes by suggesting that the two works' differences raise urgent ethical question about how (and where) contemporary artists' film and video is exhibited.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Complex management objectives for many publicly owned Douglas-fir forests have prompted renewed interest in silvicultural systems other than clearcutting. The College of Forestry Integrated Research Project at Oregon State University was implemented to test for differences in economic, biological, and human responses to group selection and two-story silvicultural systems. Three separate blocks were established and treated between 1989 and 1991. Trees were measured immediately after the harvest treatments (1991 or 1992) and after the 2004 growing season. Responses of residual overstory trees to initial group selection and two-story treatments were tested relative to untreated controls units in terms of (1) gross basal area and stem volume growth of all residual trees and of the 10 largest trees per acre; (2) gross basal area and stem volume growth conditional on initial basal area and stem volume, respectively, of all residual trees and of the 10 largest trees per acre; and (3) mortality of all overstory trees. Basal area and volume growth were greatest in the control and least in the two-story treatment, but volume growth conditional on initial volume did not differ significantly among treatments. Mortality was significantly greater in the two-story treatment. Overstory growth release in residual Douglas-fir may require 10 years or more to appear after regeneration cuts on some sites, and the possibility of increased overstory mortality complicates attainment of desired long-term structure under two-story silvicultural systems.

This article contributes to the debate on the efficacy of traditional forms of education versus vocational training. The effects of technical education (leading to an engineering degree or diploma) and vocational training in engineering on the performance of Indian firms are analysed using regression models based on the Cobb–Douglas production function, enhanced to incorporate education and training. Instrumental variable approach is used to establish the direction of causality. It is found that that when a larger share of workers in a particular sector has a college or university-level technical education or vocational education in technical fields, there is a positive impact on firm performance in those sectors. Further, higher education in a general field seems to consistently benefit the organised manufacturing sector, while some levels of school education appear to benefit the unorganised sectors.

The author identifies three stages in the transformation of the dominant ethos in colleges and universities over the past century. These stages were separated by rifts that looked like mild but pernicious culture wars. The first stage which impresses the author most is commonly called Modernism. The second stage is identified as Post-Modernism. The third that presumably takes form before our eyes can be called Neo-Conservatism. Modernism is described as an intellectual position skillfully characterized by Harland G. Bloland. Postmodernism is shown as an intellectual position adopted by Jacques Derrida, Michel Foulcault i Jean-François Lyotard. Copious references to Bloland are also made in this case. The positon of Neoconservatives is exemplified by the writings of Michel Houllebecq, Douglas Murray and Frank Furedi.

Douglas Bell was the doyen of British plant breeders. He worked to turn what was previously a craft that made some use of science into a science–based technology.Having taken a first–class honours degree at the University College of Wales (Bangor), Bell went to the Cambridge University Plant Breeding Institute in 1928. There he worked under the supervision of F. L. (later Sir Frank) Engledow (FRS 1946). His PhD research concerned genetic variability in barley varieties, and barley remained his principal interest henceforth. At the height of his powers Bell was able rapidly to assess the agricultural potential of wide arrays of genetically distinct lines. This was based on keen observation and the ability to discriminate among many characteristics simultaneously. It often seemed like intuition. At the same time he was a keen judge of the malting quality of barley grain and was often called on to exercise his skill in competitions.After completing the PhD requirements, Bell continued to work with Engledow in the Cambridge School of Agriculture, first as a demonstrator and then as a lecturer. Generations of students praised the clarity of his lectures. From Engledow he inherited an interest in the components of yield in cereals. Starting with the number of ears per plant, spikelets per ear, grains per spikelet and grain weight he became interested in the physiology of yield. This subsequently led him to promote attempts to use physiological characteristics to predict yielding ability in the selection of new varieties. Also during this period Bell assisted Engledow in wheat breeding, work that resulted in the development of the breadmaking winter–wheat variety Holdfast.Bell's leadership in plant breeding came to its full realization when he became Director of the Plant Breeding Institute (PBI), Cambridge, in 1947. The government had decided in the immediate postwar period to expand agricultural research in the UK. Numbers of free–standing research establishments were created with the general responsibility for them vested in the Agricultural Research Council. Under these arrangements the PBI was separated from Cambridge University. As Director, Bell together with the governing body set a policy for the institute. It was then his responsibility to choose a site (Trumpington, Cambridge), recruit a staff and plan the buildings and facilities including the farm.

Full textAbstract:
Douglas Anderson's article about the demise of play in American culture challenges us at both personal and professional levels. It raises the possibility that play is on the wane for us personally, our own children, and our students. It suggests that we have turned our professional backs on play and allowed our play curricula to languish or disappear altogether. In this reaction paper, I affirm Anderson's thesis about the current status of play. I discuss play metaphorically as a dance between the player (the dancer) and the playground (the dancer's partner). I describe this as a fragile relationship, one that needs to be cultivated if it is to endure. I suggest that we kinesiologists have not been good supporters of the dance because of tacit or explicit commitments we have made about knowledge, value, and culture. I claim that unless and until we resolve these issues, we will continue to push physical play off the pedagogical stages at our colleges and universities.

This Study was done to assess safety and feasibility of non-descent vaginal hysterectomy for benign gynecological disease. A prospective observational study was conducted over a sample size of 50 patients at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Faridpur Medical College Hospital from 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2017. All patients requiring hysterectomy for benign gynecological disorders who did not have any uterine descent were recruited for this study. Non-descent vaginal hysterectomy was performed in cases where uterus was mobile with size not exceeding 16 weeks gestation and with adequate vaginal access. Morcellation techniques like bisection, myomectomy, wedge debulking or combinations of these were employed in bigger sized uterus. A total of 50 cases were selected for non-descent vaginal hysterectomy. Among these, 47 cases successfully underwent non-descent vaginal hysterectomy. Majority (44%) of the patients were in age group of 41-45 years. All patients were parous. Uterine size was <10 wks in 30 cases and >10 wks in 20 cases. Commonest indication was leiomyoma of uterus (46%). Mean duration of surgery was two hours. Mean blood loss was 200 ml. Reasons for failure to perform nondescent vaginal hysterectomy was difficulty in opening pouch of douglus in two cases because of adhesions and in one case there was difficulty in reaching the fundal myoma which prevented the uterine descent. The most common complication was post-operative pain in 22% of cases. Febrile morbidity was present in 4% of cases. Blood transfusion was required in 7 cases. Average duration of hospital stay was three days. Vaginal hysterectomy for benign gynecological causes other than prolapse safe, feasible and patient friendly.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractG. Douglas Young, the founder of the American Institute of Holy Land Studies (now Jerusalem University College), is a largely forgotten figure in the history of Christian Zionism. Born into a fundamentalist household, Young developed an intense identification with Jews and support for the state of Israel from an early age. By 1957, when he founded his Institute, Young developed a worldview that merged numerous strands of evangelical thinking—dispensationalism, neo-evangelicalism, and his own ideas about Jewish-Christian relations—into a distinctive understanding of Israel. Young's influence in American evangelicalism reached a climax in the years 1967–1971. This period, and Young's activism therein, represents a distinct phase in the evolution of Jewish-evangelical relations and evangelical Christian Zionism. Young's engagement with the Israeli state prefigured the Christian Zionists of the 1980s.This article examines Young's distinctive theology and politics and situates them in intellectual and international contexts. It argues that Young sought to place Christian Zionism at the center of American evangelicalism after 1967 and that his effort was only partially successful. While Young spoke to thousands of evangelicals, trained hundreds of students, and sat on boards and committees to broaden the appeal of Christian Zionism, he also met stiff resistance by some members of the American evangelical establishment. The Jerusalem Conference on Biblical Prophecy, which saw Young collide with Carl F. H. Henry, a leading American evangelical, illustrates the limits of Young's efforts. Ultimately, a look at Young reframes the rise of Christian Zionism among American evangelicals and situates activism in Israel as central to the development of Jewish-evangelical relations in the twentieth century.

A 22-year-old woman, single, came to Radiodiagnosis Department of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital for ultrasonography examination of whole abdomen for evaluation of amenorrhoea and vague cyclical lower abdominal pain. She had been treated outside the hospital for several years for above symptoms without any fruitful outcome. There was no history of any surgical management to this patient. Careful clinical examination of pelvis revealed an imperforate hymen. No other clinical signs were found except mild lower abdomen tenderness. Routine ultrasound was done with curvilinear probe with frequency of 5 MHz in GE LOGIQ P 9 model ultrasound sonography (USG) Machine. Cervical agenesis was suspected based on sonographic findings, non-visualization of the cervix with a uterus like structure (measuring approx. 30 x 36 x 30 mm.) in right adnexal region. Mild collection seen in pouch of Douglas. Both ovaries and bilateral adnexa were normal. Vagina showed no abnormal collection. Other abdominal organs like liver, gallbladder (GB), common bile duct (CBD), portal vein (PV), pancreas, spleen, both kidneys, and bladder appeared normal. Transvaginal examination as well as transvaginal sonography could not be performed as imperforate hymen. Therefore, the patient underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of whole abdomen which confirmed the ultrasonographic findings and the case diagnosed as congenital atresia of uterine cervix with imperforate hymen.

Full textAbstract:
From 2002 to 2004, the children's animated series Liberty's Kids aired on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), the United States' public television network. It runs over forty half-hour episodes and features a stellar cast, including such celebrities as Walter Cronkite, Michael Douglas, Yolanda King, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Liam Neeson, and Annette Bening. Television critics generally loved it, and there are now college students who can trace their interest in the American Revolution to having watched this series when they were children. At the turn of the twenty-first century, it is the most extended and in-depth encounter with the American Revolution that most young people in the United States are likely to have encountered, and is appropriately patriotic and questioning, celebratory and chastening. Although children certainly learn a great deal about multiculturalism from popular culture, the tropes and limitations of depicting history on television trend toward personification, toward reduced complexity and, for children, toward resisting examining the darker sides of human experience. As this essay suggests, the genre's limits match the limits of a multicultural history in its attempt to show diversity and agency during a time when “liberty and justice for all” proved to be more apt as an aspiration at best and an empty slogan at worst than as an accurate depiction of the society that proclaimed it. This essay is not an effort to be, as Robert Sklar put it, a “historian cop,” policing the accuracy of the series by patrolling for inaccuracies. Rather, it is a consideration of the inherent difficulties of trying to apply a multicultural sensibility to a portrayal of the American Revolution.

The English Shakespeare Company was founded in 1986 by Michael Bogdanov and Michael Pennington with a commitment to take large-scale productions to regional venues. Henry IV, Parts One and Two and Henry V opened at the Plymouth Theatre Royal in November 1986 under the title The Henrys: they were then staged at the Old Vic and toured extensively. In December 1987 Richard II, with a two-part adaptation of the three parts of Henry VI (House of Lancaster and House of York) and Richard III, were added to the previous trilogy to create a complete cycle of history plays – The Wars of the Roses. The cycle was toured in England and abroad before playing at the Old Vic in the spring of 1989. It has since been filmed for television by Portman Productions. The only comparable treatment of the histories in the theatre took place at Stratford in 1964. when Peter Hall and John Barton staged seven plays as a sequence spanning English history from the reign of Richard II to the downfall of Richard III. Andrew Jarvis has been with the English Shakespeare Company since 1986 when he played Gadshill, Douglas, Harcourt, and the Dauphin. He has since played Exton, Hotspur, and Richard III. In 1988 he won the Manchester Evening News Award for Best Actor in a Visiting Production for his portrayal of Richard III. Prior to joining the ESC he had played many roles for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Here, he is interviewed by Stephen Phillips, lecturer in drama at the College of St Mark and St John, Plymouth, who is currently preparing a study of Shakespeare's history cycles in performance in the twentieth century.
