Abstract:

Youve done it (almost). In the home stretch of your undergraduate film degree you find yourself looking back on the years of critiques, citations, and corrupted video files you scrambled to fix. Youre not sure which is scarier: diving headfirst into online job search sites or enrolling in another few years of deadlines, desks, and debt. Leaning toward the latter option? You may face the reality that the graduate school selection and application process are some of those things they didnt teach you in film school.

Abstract:

With more leisure time and greater reliance on the fix-it-yourself approach, more and more people, will be using hand tools. The proper ergonomic design, as related to grip force exerted and fatigue generated, is an important consideration for these tools. To measure grip force distribution, Force Sensing Resistors were calibrated appropriately, placed on two different grip type (wood and foam) and interfaced to a personal computer. Results of a lopping task, indicated a very uneven distribution in grip pressure. In all cases, grip force decreased with time while forearm flexor muscle EMG increased with time, indicating fatigue buildup. Forearm EMG for the foam grip was significantly lower than for the wooden grip. Most subjects also strongly preferred the foam grip.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe method used in this thesis is a normative juridical research that is the approach that uses the concept of positive legality which states that the law is identical with the norms made written and enacted by institutions or authorities. In addition this concept also saw law as a normative system that is autonomous, closed and detached from public life. For the purposes of the investigation, investigators at the behest of investigators authorized to make arrests also for the sake of the investigation, the investigator and the investigator maid authorities make arrests. Arrest order made against a person who alleged a criminal offense based on sufficient preliminary evidence. Execution of tasks arrests were made by police officers of the Republic of Indonesia by taking into account the Letter of Assignment and gives an arrest warrant that lists the suspect's identity and mentions the reason for arrest and brief descriptions of crimes that presupposed and place in check, in which case caught arrests made without warrants, provided that the catcher should be immediately handed caught and existing evidence to the investigator or the investigator's closest aides, ransom arrest warrant should be given to the family immediately after the arrest is done, can be done for a maximum of one day. The conclusion of this study are 1) The arrest of the perpetrators of the process by members of the police force North Bogor Police first is the start of the search for information, arrest / raids, searches of perpetrators, confiscation of evidence to facilitate the examination of the offender. 2) Barriers experienced by members of the North Bogor Police in the execution of the arrest of a criminal offense (a) Lack of cooperation between the police (investigators) to the public; (b) Perpetrators of the crime of removing traces of the crime; (c) Limited facilities and prasarana.yang owned by North Bogor Police; (d) .Terbatasnya human resources (police) to uncover a crime. 3) Efforts by the North Bogor Police to overcome the obstacles in the process of the arrest of perpetrators of criminal acts as follows: (a) Fix yourself to socialize paradigm shift to community policing.

Abstract:

As they near the conclusion of their 1890 treatise Broad-Sword and Single-Stick With Chapters on Quarter-Staff, Bayonet, Cudgel, Shillalah, Walking-Stick, Umbrella and Other Weapons of Self-Defense, Baron Headley (Rowland George Allanson-Winn) and C. Phillips-Wolley imagine skeptical readers who resist their admonitions to vigilance: “I can almost hear people say, ‘Oh, this is all rubbish; I'm not going to be attacked; life would not be worth living if one had to be always “on guard” in this way’” (Headley and Phillips-Wolley 111). But, Headley and Phillips-Wolley counter, “this world, from the time we are born to the time we die, is made up of uncertainties” (111). Throughout the text, lurking hoodlums and deceitful beggars embody these “uncertainties,” and at every moment destabilize the security of the unsuspecting gentleman or lady. Uncertainty gathers in these shadowy bodies with such force that the authors declare, “we are never really secure from attack at any moment of our lives” (111). As a remedy for the threat of the uncertain attacker, they suggest “the pursuit of a science,… which may… enable you to turn a defeat into a victory, and save yourself from being mauled and possibly killed in a fight which was none of your own making” (111). In short, the science of self-defense.

Abstract:

Building on the body of research that has addressed the experiences of female coaches, the present study examines women’s role as coach developers. English football served as the context for the research. Figures demonstrate women are underrepresented in this role more so than they are as coaches, and their distribution across the coach developer pathway is unevenly balanced, with most women qualified at Level I of the pathway. Using the concept of ‘organizational fit’, the research connects the experiences of the 10 coach developers interviewed, to the structural practices of their national and local governing bodies. These practices were symptomatic of the organizations’ culture that is created and upheld by masculine ideals. Work expectations and the environment were structured on the image of men as coaches and coach developers. Cultural barriers to women’s sense of organizational fit were specifically found to be: the incentive to progress (return on investment from higher coaching qualifications), the degree of organizational support and nurture, and the opportunity to progress and practice. Consequently, organizational expectations and values do not support the ambitions of women to climb the coach developer career ladder, and restrict their sense of choice and control. Future research should direct its attention towards a greater interrogation of aspects of sport organizational culture that may serve to ‘push’ female coaches away from its core, or alternatively, pull them closer to engage and make use of their expertise and abilities as coach developers.

There are many researches about regulatory fit but not many of them discussed about the self-control after regulatory fit. In recent years, awareness of people’s health has gradually necessitated a study of healthy and unhealthy food purchase decision-making. The research aims to discuss healthy and unhealthy food purchase intention by focusing on consumers’ pre-existing regulatory orientation and marketing cues (sales promotions expiration-date duration) prime regulatory orientation. The study examines how the compatibility of these regulatory orientations with healthy food and unhealthy food information frame will affect consumers’ self-control. 　　Study 1 in this research discusses the effect of self-control on regulatory focus (i.e. promotion and prevention) and regulatory information (i.e. promotion-framed information and prevention-framed information). It was found that in both primed promotion focus and prevention focus, people in the regulatory fit condition may buy more healthy food than those in the regulatory non-fit condition. On the other hand, in both primed promotion focus and prevention focus, people in the regulatory non-fit condition may buy more unhealthy food than those in the fit condition. 　　Study 2 in this research discusses the effect of self-control on sales promotion expiration-date duration (i.e. long term and short term) and regulatory information (i.e. promotion-framed information and prevention-framed information). The results showed that in the healthy food sales promotion, longer expiration-date is more compatible with promotion-framed information and expiration-date is more compatible with prevention-framed information. In addition, in the unhealthy food sales promotion, longer expiration-date is more compatible with prevention-framed information and shorter expiration-date is more compatible with promotion-framed information. Thus, people will have higher purchase intention.

Dawson, Janis. "“Think of yourself as a merchant” : L. T. Meade and the professional woman writer and editor at the Victorian fin de siècle." Thesis, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1828/3573.

Full text

Abstract:

L. T. Meade (1844-1914) was one of the most popular and industrious writers of the Victorian fin de siècle. She is remembered as the creator of the modern girls’ school story, but over the course of a professional career that spanned four decades, Meade wrote close to three hundred books and countless short stories in a variety of genres for readers of all ages. She also edited the highly regarded middle-class girls’ literary magazine Atalanta from 1887 to 1893. She was considered a literary celebrity by the influential Strand Magazine where her innovative medical mysteries and sensational stories of female criminals competed with the works of Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. But Meade was more than a successful author. She was also an influential participant in London’s literary circles and an active member of numerous literary professional, and feminist associations. Despite the scope of Meade’s career and her significant presence in the literary marketplace, her name has now passed into relative obscurity. Assessments of Meade in the twentieth century have been limited, dismissive, and generally negative. But as I demonstrate in this dissertation, many of these assessments are based on a narrow reading of her girls’ fiction and an incomplete sense of her professional activity. This dissertation, based on a historically contextualized reading of a broad selection of Meade’s works, focuses on the author as a professional woman writer and editor and highlights some of her significant contributions to popular literature and popular culture generally. The chapters in this study are organized into sections that reflect the trajectory of Meade’s career. Part I, “Meade and the Market,” introduces Meade as a professional writer. It includes biographical information, a discussion of Meade’s self representation, and an examination of a selection of her texts to show how she identified literary trends and used topical issues to frame her stories and market them to publishers and the reading public. Part II, “Meade and Atalanta,” focuses on Meade as a professional woman editor. It consists of three linked chapters on Meade and the girls’ literary magazine Atalanta and includes an examination of Meade’s contributions to juvenile periodical literature as well as a discussion of Atalanta as a family literary magazine. Part III, “New Markets and New Genres,” focuses on Meade as a popular professional woman writer and examines her involvement with the popular press in the years following her departure from Atalanta. It shows how Meade’s involvement with the Strand Magazine signalled a new direction in her literary style and market orientation and highlights her significant contributions to detective and mystery fiction. Throughout this study, I argue that Meade was more than a popular girls’ author; she was also a successful professional woman writer and editor, a shrewd businesswoman, and a significant participant in the literary marketplace. I also argue that Meade’s career merits consideration because it offers important insights into the way fin-de-siècle women writers shaped their careers and positioned themselves in the literary marketplace.

Abstract:

Exergames and Exergaming have become a new phenomenon in recent years due to the release of the Nintendo Wii console and more recently the Microsoft Kinect. Videogames are categorized into genres based upon the actions that gamers are expected to execute to achieve goals and overcome challenges. However, with the development of new technology, and this notion of exergaming, is it actually activity or gameplay that defines the notion of exergames as a genre into current categories? This chapter reviews several genre/taxonomy theories to gain a greater understanding of exergames within the serious games arena, with several facets proposed by the authors to provide a more succinct progress within this sector.

Abstract:

A description of a surgical approach, or a question on surgical anatomy, will come up at least twice during your vivas, and often within the trauma viva. It is essential to pick up these easy marks—they are not trick questions, the answer is set and non-negotiable (anatomy is not that variable!): it is how you deliver the facts that will set you apart from others. Often an approach question will be used to get you some marks on the scoreboard before you even start to talk about how to fix the fracture. When describing a surgical approach, first and foremost it is best to speak as if you yourself have done the operation before: try not to regurgitate a book. Imagine you are telling a story, or describing the approach to someone over the phone. Use phrases such as ‘I centre my longitudinal incision over . . . ’ or ‘I often see a haematoma in this plane . . . ’ to personalize your description. It tells the examiner you know what you are talking about and prevents him or her from pushing you on the minutiae. Your description of every surgical approach should begin with a brief gambit on preparing the patient for surgery. An example of this could include: Having prepared and consented the patient for theatre, I will . . . It sounds better to phrase it like this than go through each pre-operative step verbatim. If the examiner wants to probe you on this he or she will, but otherwise you need to just offer it up. You must not forget to mention these important steps however. The next thing to say is how you would set the patient up: . . . I would position the patient supine with an armboard and a high-arm tourniquet and confirm I am able to achieve adequate images with the intensifier. I would then perform a surgical time-out before commencing with routine skin preparation and draping. Similar to the pre-operative global phrase, this next step is equally important.

Abstract:

Is your computer a little problematic? Slowing down? And you’re not ready to call in expert help? Try these tricks. As always, back up important data first. 1. A surprising number of computer problems—inexplicable system crashes, random program shutdowns, “not enough memory” errors—are caused by faulty RAM chips. These errors are normally hard to diagnose by yourself, but on Windows, the free program Memtest86 (http://www.mem test86.com) makes it easy. On Macintosh OS 9, use RAM Check 2.1, which can be downloaded at http://ftp.traffictrak.com/RAMCheck21.sit or http://download.digidesign.com/support/digi/mac/utilities/ RMCheck210.sea.hqx(.) You can also try Techtool Pro for OS 9 or OS X. 2. Four big demons of computers are dust, heat, moisture, and static. You can take some preventive measures, like covering your CPU and monitor when they’re not in use and protecting your computer by drinking your coffee away from the computer, but demons will strike no matter what you do, and they manifest their presence in odd ways. The most common is disk corruption, which shows up as disappearing or corrupt files and folders. Regular disk maintenance is important to keep these demons at bay. The most well-known tool for repairing disk drives is Norton Utilities (http://www.symantec.com), which is included in Norton System Works. You can use it to diagnose and fix already corrupt files, but it is most useful for preventive maintenance. Using these utilities to optimize or defragment your hard drive on a regular basis makes individual files as contiguous as possible, which can increase the speed at which files and programs are opened. However, Norton Utilities can sometimes cause problems of its own, particularly on older computers, if it is installed to run in the background. If you open System Works and click on Options, Norton Utilities, and then the Startup tab, you can uncheck the boxes that would instruct the program to start whenever you boot up. Then it’s up to you to decide how often you need to activate it, perhaps somewhere between once a week and once a month.

Abstract:

The box is the central feature of American civil rights law. To be protected against discrimination, a person must fit into an existing box. The boxes are discrete and defined, fixed and unbending. Each box houses a trait, and the existence of the box means that the trait receives protection against discrimination. The name of the game in civil rights is to anchor yourself to a box, to demonstrate that the discrimination you faced was because of a protected trait. If you can’t do this—if you can’t fit into one of the boxes—you have no claim. But the box is a blunt tool. There are too many hard cases, too many situations where people are shut out of the enterprise. This chapter argues that religious discrimination law can show us how to build an antidiscrimination system that takes people on their own terms and lets them be themselves. It argues that the box is not essential to the work of righting wrongs, and that difference has a place in the law. The box is the problem. We can do better.

Full text

Abstract:

“Leave it” is one of the first commands to teach a dog, for its own protection and the protection of others. Oddly, the concept is one that may be a good fit for harried teachers as well. Envision a time when you may have benefited from pausing and saying to yourself, “Leave it”: • Staying at school after hours to continue working, even when your brainpower is low, your energy has tanked, and you need rest. • Ruminating over an incident that continues to worry you because you are not sure how to interpret a comment made by your principal. • Feeling frazzled after witnessing a verbal confrontation that began as a simple disagreement but evolved into a hostile exchange. At times it can be beneficial to compartmentalize our minds and emotions. In fact, if we are not able to sift and rank our priorities, we can be in nearly constant turmoil. “One thing at a time” may be an impossible goal for a teacher. Yet saying “leave it” and giving our trouble some distance (even momentarily) can be an important strategy for mental health and teacher effectiveness. Some of us tend to be ruminators, chewing our cud, swallowing it, bringing it back up, and chewing it again. Although it may keep us busy, rumination can be a form of self- torture, getting us nowhere. When we tell ourselves to “leave it,” we know we are thought- stopping for a good cause. We are taking some moments to release, relax, and regroup. We are letting go long enough to revive. It isn’t a matter of trying harder or giving more. Frequently, something doesn’t click into place until we turn it loose and walk away. The release is not to accept defeat but it is saying we have done what we can and now we will stand and let it work.

Abstract:

Mental health problems are estimated to affect one in four people each year in the UK, making mental illness one of the commonest presentations to GP surgeries, outpatient clinics, and Emergency Departments. Yet many doctors and medical students feel uncertain about how to approach patients with a psychiatric disorder. The key to becoming a good psychiatrist lies in the clinical interview. There are few physical signs or investigations that allow doctors to diagnose psychiatric illness, so a detailed history and mental state examination are important. As a psychiatrist, you are in the privileged position of having patients tell you their personal stories, and the skill is in listening attentively and asking relevant questions to help to clarify parts of the story. The best way to practise these techniques is to watch experienced clinicians at work and to interview patients yourself. Obviously diagnosis is important, so you need to be aware of the types of symptoms that fit with each type of disorder, as well as the medical conditions that may mimic psychiatric illness. Investigations may be necessary to rule out other diseases, and you need to be able to request these appropriately. Psychiatrists have access to a range of treatments—medical (e.g. antidepressants), psychological (e.g. cognitive behavioural therapy), and physical (e.g. electroconvulsive therapy)—and you need to know which ones to recommend. Most of these treatments are delivered in conjunction with the multidisciplinary team, so you should be clear about the roles of each team member. Finally, there is overlap between psychiatry and the law, which can raise interesting ethical issues. It is sometimes necessary to treat a person against their will, for the safety of that person or others, so you need to know about mental health law. Psychiatrists are also often requested to provide a second opinion in difficult capacity assessments.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the preparation you will need to go through to be successful at the consultant interview. Many candidates wrongly think that the key to interview success is to know about everything political that has ever happened to the NHS or their speciality. Unfortunately this belief sets them up to be unsuccessful. The key is to take time to learn as much about yourself as possible so that you can use every interview question as an opportunity to promote why you should be given the job. In this chapter we explore: • An appropriate preparation plan • Key sales techniques • Key rules for answering questions effectively • Key tips for answering specific types of question, e.g. the negative question or the opinion question The preparation needed for answering political questions is addressed in Chapter 9. Guidance on how to approach answering questions within the interview itself is addressed in Chapter 6, e.g. not understanding the question asked. It goes without saying that the purpose of the interview is for the interview committee to appoint the right person for the job. In general this will be the person who they feel: • Will most fit with the ethos of the team, service and Trust • Is a safe doctor • Will be both a leader and a team player • Will proactively develop the service • Will work collaboratively with Trust management However, not all interview committees want all of the above in all cases. For instance, although many Trusts are currently looking for proactive, business-focused goal achievers (because there is a shortage!), some may simply want a quiet, methodical clinical professional. At the pre-interview visit it is vitally important to get a sense of what the key players really do want so that at interview you can effectively promote the benefits you will bring to the post in that regard. It is equally true that not all panel members are the same. Many panels are made up of people with divergent requirements.

Normally, however, once the issues raised by the question have been discovered and preliminary reading undertaken in the textbooks, it is useful to scan the following: • handouts from tutors; • articles mentioned in the footnotes or endnotes in set textbooks; • available databases or relevant indexes of law journals; • available databases or Current Law Citator for up to date law cases, legislation and so on; • one of the article databases (such as Igenta) or indexes to various journals in years that are thought to be salient. 9.3.3 Stage 3: carefully read, note, organise and reflect on the materials collected • Precis them. • Extract arguments presented. • Reconsider the question. Here, it is relevant to turn to the limited materials used for this essay—the extracts from the two cases and the textbook by Tillotson. The first task is reading, asking the basic questions detailed below in relation to cases and texts, all the time recalling the actual issues detailed in the essay question, otherwise, relevant details could be missed. As you read texts, you need to ask yourself the following questions: • Law reports: What are the facts? What legal rules have been applied and why? What aspects of this case are of relevance to my essay? How do the arguments presented assist me in my current essay? • Textbooks: What is being described? Do I understand? Does it fit my understanding of the cases? Have I properly grasped the issues involved? What is of relevance to my essay? • Articles: What is the writer’s argument? Is it well supported by the evidence? Does the writer’s argument support or deny my argument in the essay? Is there a majority view developing in the texts concerning any of the issues raised by the question? When you have done this go back to the diagram of the question. Note beside the various issues aspects of the texts that are of relevance to the issues identified as." In Legal Method and Reasoning, 289–90.

Abstract:

America has been, historically, the leading edge of much of the world’s engineering and IT innovations. However, with the current trends of Offshore Outsourcing high tech and high paying employment, the questions arise: why go into these fields at all. Why involve yourself with the rigorous academic requirements demanded of these disciplines; especially when one considers the real possibility of being outsourced out of a job to offshore companies. As more and more high paying American jobs are outsourced to foreign markets, we must start to recalculate the bene-fit/cost ratios of no holes barred free trade practices. The current economic expansion, we are currently experiencing, is a unique one. It has not created jobs; nor has it added to real wage growth. This has not added to the overall American standard of economic life. The benefits of the expansion have been skewed very favorably to corporate American.
