READING AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF HELEN KELLER’S THE STORY OF MY LIFE
No full textMembaca autobiografi adalah membaca suatu peristiwa, memori dan kenangan yang dituliskan oleh pengarang tentang dirinya sendiri. Persitiwa- peristiwa tersebut lebih banyak mengabarkan tentang sebuah kebenaran subjektif daripada fakta yang sebenarnya. Itu dikarenakan pengarang sebagai subjek yang membaca masa lalunya menjadi tokoh utama dalam autobiografi. Hal ini dapat dikaji dan dibuktikan melalui beberapa aspek di dalam autobiografi.
Ruang lingkup dari tulisan ini adalah bagaimana narrator dalam menarasikan cerita dapat membangun wacana dan berbicara langsung dengan narratee. Pengalaman- pengalaman yang diceritakan oleh narrator, identitas yang ditampilkan dan juga peran editor di dalam pembuatan autobiografi. Adapun tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk mengimplementasikan teori Reading Autobiography yang digunakan untuk menganalisis The Story of My Life yang merupakan autobiografi dari Helen Keller.
Metode yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode penelitian kepustakaan dan metode pendekatan teori membaca autobiografi. Metode yang pertama digunakan untuk mengumpul data dan informasi dari sumber-sumber kepustakaan yang mendukung pembahasan. Metode yang kedua digunakan sebagai acuan utama dalam menganalisis aspek yang dominan dalam autobiografi.
Hasil dari analisis menunjukkan bahwa teknik penceritaan yang digunakan oleh pengarang sangat mengesankan, baik dalam segi penceritaan “aku”, ideologi maupun konsep yang dimiliki banyak memproyeksikan tokoh sebagai tokoh yang sempurna secara fisik. Begitu juga pengalaman yang dialami tokoh sengaja dipilihkan pengalaman yang istimewa
Selain itu, identitas yang ditampilkan oleh pengarang bertujuan mengkonstruksikan kesan dirinya seabagai pribadi yang baik kepada pembaca. Di samping itu, adanya peran John Macy sebagai editor di dalam pembuatan autobiografi adalah untuk kepentingan sosial. Hal ini dikarenakan John Macy membantu memproyeksikan Helen Keller sebagai tokoh utama yang hampir sempurna walau dengan keterbatasan fisik. Dia juga mampu membantu Helen dalam mengklarifikasi isu negatif yang berkembang pada masa itu
Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld, PhD, Long-Term Care Educator and Author
No full textToday’s guest is Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld. Mary Helen is an associate professor at Towson University in the Department of Health Sciences. Mary Helen is the author of one of the leading textbooks in the field of long-term care, Dimensions of Long-Term Care: An Introduction, and is a recognized leader in long-term care education nationally. In this podcast I talk with Mary Helen about her journey from an early interest in political science and international affairs to discovering the nascent field of health economics in the 80’s, and her transition to an interest in long-term care as a result of having to care for both her father and father-in-law when they suffered from debilitating terminal illnesses. Mary Helen makes a passionate case for long-term care, pointing out the economic opportunities for entrepreneurs, as well as young people looking for a meaningful and well compensated career. I hope you enjoy listening to Mary Helen’s story, and if you find it valuable, won’t you leave us feedback on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you may be accessing this recording. It helps other people discover us. Thanks for listening, and here is Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld

Topological specification of connections between prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus in rhesus monkey
No full textThe hypothalamus is a subcortical brain region whose limits and constituent nuclei lack consensus. The hypothalamus has been linked to emotion and different states of stress, providing critical feedback about the internal environment to the prefrontal cortex, a region known for executive function within the cortex of humans. An understanding of the developmental origin of the hypothalamus can provide a basis for defining which limits and nuclei are ontologically hypothalamic, and which are not, as well as a framework for understanding its connectional relationship with other brain regions.
The Prosomeric Model (Rubenstein et al. 1994; Puelles and Rubenstein 2003; Nieuwenhuys and Puelles 2016; Puelles 2018) explains the embryological development of the central nervous system (CNS) shared by all vertebrates as a Bauplan. As a primary event, the early neural plate is patterned by intersecting longitudinal plates and transverse segments, forming a mosaic of progenitor units. The hypothalamus is specified by three prosomeres [hp1, hp2, and the acroterminal domain (At)] of the secondary prosencephalon with corresponding alar and basal plate parts, which develop apart from the diencephalon. Mounting evidence suggests that progenitor units within alar plate and basal plate parts of hp1 and hp2 give rise to distinct hypothalamic nuclei, which preserve their relative invariant positioning (topology) in the adult brain. Nonetheless, the principles of the Prosomeric Model have not been applied to the hypothalamus of adult primates.
The Structural Model (Barbas 1986; Barbas and Rempel-Clower 1997) highlights the variation of laminar structure in the grey matter of the prefrontal cortex as a basis for predicting specific cortico-cortical connections. The areas of the prefrontal cortex vary along a spectrum by number of layers, laminar definition, and cellularity of those layers. The systematic laminar patterns of different areas of the prefrontal cortex seem to be associated with differential rates of development or maturation. A topographical analysis of bidirectional projections between the prefrontal cortex and the hypothalamus was previously applied using the Structural Model (Rempel-Clower and Barbas 1998). The authors found the prefrontal cortex has highly specific projections to the hypothalamus, originating mostly from limbic orbital and medial prefrontal areas, which have lower laminar definition than other prefrontal areas. In addition, the hypothalamus has relatively specific patterns of projection to the prefrontal cortex.
We previously lacked an organizing principle to examine the specific pattern of connections between the hypothalamus and prefrontal cortex in adult rhesus monkey. In the present study, hypothalamic nuclei in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta) were parcellated using classic architectonic boundaries and stains. The topological relations of hypothalamic nuclei and adjacent hypothalamic landmarks were then analyzed with homology across rodent and primate species to trace the origin of adult hypothalamic nuclei to the alar or basal plate components of hp1 and hp2. A novel atlas of the hypothalamus of the adult rhesus monkey was generated with developmental ontologies for each hypothalamic nucleus. This atlas was then applied to a topological analysis of the strength and pattern of connections between the hypothalamus and prefrontal cortex in the adult rhesus monkey. The result is a systematic reinterpretation of the adult hypothalamus of the rhesus monkey whose prosomeric ontology was used to study connections and neuraxial pathways linking the hypothalamus and prefrontal cortex. The convergence of the Prosomeric and Structural Models provides a framework through development to explain the structural patterns found in the adult primate cortex and hypothalamus, and the likely consequences of their disruption
Beyond the Rockton Window: remembering author and painter Helen Haenke, 19 Mar 2017
No full textA talented artist and writer of poetry, plays and prose, Helen Haenke was an influential figure in Ipswich from the 1940s to 1978. The family's historic house Rockton was her creative sanctuary. The panel discussion around the works and life of Helen Haenke was led by UQ Honorary Senior Research Fellow Bronwen Levy, with Helen's daughter Margot Rayner and local Ipswich resident and drama teacher Helen Pullar. Introdcution by Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Alan Rix. UQ Press released an anthology of Helen Haenke's work, Helen Haenke at Rockton - A creative life, which was on sale at the event. This event was supported by Ipswich City Council, University of Queensland Library, Ipswich Poetry Feast and University of Queensland Press

Evaluation as adventure: taking that risk
No full textHelen Simons traces the values that underpin her preferred methodology of case study and democratic evaluation to the central values she gained from the land of her birth. She looks back to consider what early experiences may have influenced her deep commitment to these values and how they impacted on her professional world as a teacher, a psychologist, and an evaluator.
