Anhand einer Untersuchung über das Empfinden von Filmprogrammen versucht der Autor den Aneignungsgrad von Medieninhalten bei 300 Schülern zu messen. Da viele Filme, die die Jugendlichen gesehen haben, aus den USA stammen, drückt sich die Auswertung ihrer Aneignung teilweise duch Akkulturation aus.Young people’s tastes
Based on an investigation about the reception of cinema programmes, the author tries to measure the degree of appropriation of media content by 300 schoolboys. Since many films viewed by young people come from the USA, the evaluation of their appropriation can be translated in terms of acculturation.À partir d’une enquête sur la réception de programmes cinématographiques, l’auteur tente de mesurer le degré d’appropriation par 300 collégiens des contenus médiatiques. Étant donné que nombre de films visionnés par les jeunes proviennent des USA, l’évaluation de leur appropriation se traduit en partie en termes d’acculturation.Los Gustos De Los Jóvenes
A partir de una encuesta sobre la recepción de programas cinematográficos, el autor intenta medir el grado de apropiación por 300 colegiales de los contenidos mediáticos.

Jo SmithSmith, who directs the College of Veterinary Medicine\u27s Small Animal Internal Medicine Residency program, takes an all-encompassing approach to teaching. In addition to helping students and clinicians gain biomedical knowledge, she has developed professional skills training in the Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine curriculum. Areas include communication, ethics and jurisprudence, cultural competency, and the fostering of a diverse and inclusive environment. She promotes self-directed learning to underpin the commitment to lifelong learning in the Veterinarian\u27s Oath. Given the mental health issues faced by veterinary health care providers, Smith also identified well-being and resilience as priority areas for inclusion. Her efforts led to an ad hoc Wellbeing Committee, the creation of a CVM Wellbeing strategic plan for DVM students, and several student support programs.
Smith is committed to raising the quality of instruction for all students in the College of Veterinary Medicine. With support from the Center for Teaching and Learning, she co-launched a Faculty Learning Community for members of her department on peer observation of teaching that resulted in a detailed rubric to support the development of high-quality instruction. Smith is heavily involved in revising the DVM curriculum, and is part of a regional veterinary teaching consortium.

Photographic Histories of the Civil War and the First World War and Rebirth
No full textThe article compares The Photographic History of the Civil War published in 1912, with A Photographic History of the First World War, published in 1933. The author is looking for similarities in the reworking of interpretations of war photography after the war and discovers that the photographs in conjunction with their editing can be made to cover up as much as they reveal. The Photographic History of the Civil War, published at the height of the Jim Crow era, with its hugely elaborate editorial structure, manages to deny the importance of slavery to the war and the importance of freed slaves afterwards. Even photographs of the dead of Gettysburg take on a meaning more appropriate to 1912 than to the event that produced them. The comparatively direct A Photographic History of the First World War, manages loyalty only to the thought of the author at the moment of its publication. Other interpretations were possible at other times as the author editor followed literary fashion and history

What remains of monetarism?
No full textIn October 1979 the Federal Reserve, in an attempt to curb double-digit inflation, announced that it would place more weight on monetary aggregates in policy deliberations. This policy shift helped reduce inflation but sent the economy into a recession. Three years later the Fed abandoned monetary targets and returned to targeting the federal funds rate. ; Monetary growth targets currently play no official role in the setting of U.S. monetary policy. Is such disregard justified by the data any more today than it was twenty years ago? This article provides a historical perspective on the development and apparent failure of monetarism as a policy guide. ; The author also explores whether the basic monetarist propositions still hold true for a sample of fifteen countries. The analysis suggests that it is premature to dismiss monetary aggregates as uninformative. The data from the economies studied indicate that, in general, nominal income growth and inflation are positively related to money growth. While these results do not support short-term manipulation of the monetary aggregates to deliver precise control over movements in income and prices, they also do not reject the notion that changes in money growth have important long-term effects on the economy. What the results suggest, therefore, is that failure to acknowledge this empirical fact could lead to undesirable policy consequences.Monetary policy ; Monetary theory
