Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Residents are often involved in teaching of medical students, interns and their peers. Even with their considerable teaching responsibilities, the majority of residents do not receive any formal instruction on how to teach. To fill this gap in the curricula, empower residents in their role as teachers and to establish a culture of 'residents as teachers' within the organization, change to the basic curricular design and local culture of medical education can be introduced. Evaluation of this curricular change showed that residents enjoyed such a module and positive change was identified across a wide range of measures including increase in their confidence to teach, decrease in their anxiety levels, increased awareness of what is expected of them in their role as teachers. This book is an example of curricular change involving the introduction of a 'resident as teacher' module to residency training. The book will help the reader understand and implement a similar module through a step-by-step approach to change. Also included in the book is the course design, classroom management, power point presentations, role-plays and pre and post workshop questionnaires. 112 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -On the other hand, I wanted to underline the importance of these postwar years both for Romanian Jews, and for Hungarian Jews and from other countries from Eastern Europe. They are the years when they dare to place their lives on a new wave, to reconstitute themselves as individuals and community after the choc of Holocaust. In this context the Zionist current (of emigration of the Jews in Israel) is manifesting visibly in Romania and Hungary. The Romanian communist parties did not see it with good eyes perceiving it as a cosmopolitan current that opposed to the isolation characteristic to communist state. The case study focusing on the emigration of Romanian Jews in Israel completes the information about emigration of Jews in a state where authorities were favorable to emigration. In Romania, in communist times, 400 000 of Jews emigrated. In Hungary, the situation was less favorable to emigration and more permissive in the first years after the war. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Breaking with the classical Arabic qasida which dates from the pre-Islamic period, Andalusian poets made a revolution in a field previously untouchable: the poetry of the ancients. They abandon the monorhymed poems built on a single meter and invented alternating rhymes and rhythms. The muwashshah becomes the appropriate poetic mode of expression of a society that has managed to establish relative harmony between its different social and ethnic backgrounds. The art of tawshîh is unquestionably the original signature of a hybrid civilization with various ethnic groups, particularly the Iberian, Arabic and Berber. indeed, from the middle of the 8th century, the muwashshah would constitute a kind of declaration of independence on the literary map. Despite the reluctance of medieval scholars to seriously document it, this kind of poetry would experience a significant development. This book traces such development through an examination of its structure, themes, as well as its 6 metrical form and relation to music and zajal. 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book gives a panoramic view of misogyny in Meja Mwangi's trilogy of urban fiction. Mwangi burst onto the literary scene with his city novels; Kill Me Quick, Going Down River Road, and The Cockroach Dance all published in the 1970s, and which distinguished him as a creative writer of popular literature. Since then, he has gone ahead to write both adult and children literature, and in the process bagged several major literary accolades. He is the only writer from Kenya so far to have won the Jomo Kenyatta Prize for Literature a record six times in different categories. Despite his achievements, Mwangi has received a myriad of negative criticisms emanating from his trilogy, especially in the way he portrays the Mwangian female. However, his texts have still proven to be popular with readers. The Mwangin Man in the trilogy has instinctively developed a misogynistic attitude directed towards women. He has evolved from despising women in Kill Me Quick to full blown misogyny in Going Down River Road. In The Cockroach Dance, Meja Mwangi introduces the Amazon woman who thrives in society as she is assertive and aggressive and wards off misogyny perpetrated by Mwangi's male characters. 124 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Postmodernism is a philosophical description that encompasses philosophy, the arts, a period of history, and many other aspects of today's existence. This book examines how Indiana public school superintendents use postmodern philosophy as opposed to modern philosophy to inform their practice. This was accomplished by examining eight leadership concepts through the application of questions with decisions related to either modernism or postmodernism. The study described by this book used a quantitative research method assembling data and determining the correlation of operant philosophy of superintendents with their tenure. Postmodern philosophy currently informs legislation in Indiana. A former governor has installed himself as President of a state sponsored Engineering University. Legislation passed into law ensures that Globalization Comparativism is replaced by Developmental Comparatism by the rejection of Common Core educational standards. In this manner science, history and all aspects of education will be defined and controlled by the state. This study illustrates the degree to which public education has embraced this new paradigm. 112 pp. Englisch.

The aim of this study was to describe a model for fish-nematode interactions on the immunological front, and to develop new reagents for the study of this model. Gulf killifish, Fundulus grandis, were collected over two seasons from MS, USA, and examined for endoparasites, particularly the larval nematode Eustrongylides ignotus. A baseline study was preformed to determine the prevalence, intensity, and histologic features of E. ignotus infection in F. grandis. In addition, two monoclonal antibodies, (mAb) M24-2 and 2C11, were characterized for their use in this project, as well as for general applications in fish immunobiology. mAb M24-2 was developed and found to recognize a ~ 14.5 kD protein in serum from all fish tested, and recognizes hen egg lysozyme (HEL). mAb 2C11 was developed and determined to recognize a ~17 kD protein found in fish cell lysates, but in not plasma. It was determined that mAb 2C11 recognizes granule content of a small population of highly granulated cells, most likely eosinophilic granular cells (EGCs). Like mAb M24-2, mAb 2C11 was found to be cross reactive in other fish. 120 pp. Englisch.
