No full textEven though many recognize FFA and 4-H, there is still a big disconnect in understanding the similarities and differences between them. This 4-page document serves as an educational tool for school-based agricultural education and 4-H programs, and provides a background of the history, characteristics, and membership process of these long-standing organizations.

No full textThis article and series were designed primarily for use by secondary agriscience teachers in school-based agricultural education programs (SBAE) to help build a strong understanding of Extension and the role of Extension professionals.

The efficacy of the Association of Art Museum Directors’ online antiquities registry
No full textHigh-profile international legal suits and the gradual establishment of legal precedence for repatriation cases in the U.S. under the National Stolen Property Act and the Cultural Property Implementation Act of 1983 have coincided with the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) adopting codes of ethics and recommended guidelines for member museum acquisitions. When the AAMD Subcommittee on the Acquisition of Archaeological Materials and Ancient Art issued its 2008 report, it established the online Registry of New Acquisitions of Archaeological Material and Works of Ancient Art to help member museums efficiently disseminate information about recent acquisitions with incomplete provenance. This is the first systematic analysis of its contents. Using data from 325 listings (as of January 2012) by eleven participating institutions, this paper argues that museums are not sufficiently vigilant about following the AAMD's 2008 guidelines.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Alyssa Cathleen Hage

Future physicians and tobacco: an online survey of the habits, beliefs and knowledge base of medical students at a Canadian University
No full textBackground
Little is known about the knowledge and attitudes towards tobacco use among medical students in Canada. Our objectives were to estimate the prevalence of tobacco use among medical students, assess their perceived level of education about tobacco addiction management and their preparedness to address tobacco use with their future patients.
Methods
A cross-sectional online survey was administered to University of Alberta undergraduate medical school trainees. The 32-question survey addressed student demographics, tobacco use, knowledge and attitudes around tobacco and waterpipe smoking, tobacco education received in medical school, as well as knowledge and competency regarding tobacco cessation interventions.
Results
Of 681 polled students, 301 completed the survey. Current (defined as “use within the last 30 days”) cigarette, cigar/cigarillo and waterpipe smoking prevalence was 3.3%, 6% and 6%, respectively. One third of the respondents had ever smoked a cigarette, but 41% had tried cigars/cigarillos and 40% had smoked a waterpipe at some time in the past. Students reported moderate levels of education on a variety of tobacco-related subjects but were well-informed on the role of tobacco in disease causation. The majority of students in their final two years of training felt competent to provide tobacco cessation interventions, but only 10% definitively agreed that they had received enough training in this area.
Conclusions
Waterpipe exposure/current use was surprisingly high among this sample of medical students, a population well educated about the role of tobacco in disease causation. The majority of respondents appeared to be adequately prepared to manage tobacco addiction but education could be improved, particularly training in behavioral modification techniques used in tobacco use cessation
The Empathetic Author in the Internet Age: The Victorian Serialized Novel and the Internet Serial as Social Experience
No full text“Alyssa’s essay grew out of an assignment for my spring 2017 seminar on George Eliot’s Middlemarch, a novel that is both critically acclaimed and beloved by (many) readers. Rather than requiring everyone to write a research essay on Middlemarch, I invited students to pursue a topic of their choice that related in some way to novels and readers. I encouraged them, if they had something in mind that they’d always wanted to write about, to take this opportunity to do so. Alyssa chose to write this deeply researched, very insightful essay connecting serialized texts then and now.” – Juliette WellsSerialized fiction was the norm in the 19th century, and now, in the 21st, it’s making a comeback. This paper explores the differences between serialization then and now, paying special attention to the impacts of author-reader interaction. With serial publication, the author and reader communicate during the writing process, but between the 19th and 21st centuries, the purposes and consequences of these communications vary. In the 19th century, flagging magazine sales could be the death sentence to a novel-in-progress; this paper asks how the content of those novels had to adapt itself to minimize the risk of being dropped. Today, the Internet has opened the door to serialization as an alternative to traditional publishing; this paper asks which authors, demographically, take the serialization versus traditional route, and how author-reader interaction has created a print culture of empathy that many find lacking in traditional publishing.
My interest in this topic is personal, as co-writer of the web serial Prairie Song. As I made connections in online serialization, I realized how under-researched Internet serialization is as a contemporary print culture. I wanted to explore the motivations and outcomes of Internet serialization as compared to our cultural baseline for serialized fiction: the works of Dickens, Eliot, and their contemporaries.https://blogs.goucher.edu/verge/the-empathetic-author-in-the-internet-age-the-victorian-serialized-novel-and-the-internet-serial-as-social-experience
