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

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
The pulsation of Delta Scuti stars
No full textA theoretical study of the pulsation of Delta Scuti
stars is presented. A modified Henyey code is used to
produce a grid of evolutionary models of population I
composition, spanning the area of the Instability Strip on
and near the Main Sequence (mass range 1.4 to 3.0 Mₒ ; log T
> 3.8). Linear pulsation analysis of these models is
carried out, using both adiabatic (Sturm Sequence) and
non-adiabatic techniques. The results are found to agree
closely, and to be consistent with the observed properties
of real stars.
A number of the models are subjected to non-linear
analysis, using a modified Christy hydrodynamic code and the
Carson opacities. A series of models is given an initial
velocity kick of surface amplitude 10 km/s and profile
varying as the fifth power of the fractional radius. The
light curves of these models are found to be dominated by
the fundamental mode and first harmonic. The first five
eigenfunctions produced by the Sturm Sequence method are
used as initial velocity profiles for another series of
models, again with an initial kick of 10 km/s. The light
curves of these models are found to be dominated by the
frequency corresponding to the initially imposed mode of
pulsation. For both sets of models, the light amplitudes
are found to be larger than those of real stars. However,
the indication of a number of criteria is that the models
have not settled down to a final (smaller) amplitude.
The first three Sturm Sequence eigenfunctions are used
as initial velocity profiles for a smaller set of models
with an initial kick of surface amplitude 3 km/s. Again, a
final, settled amplitude is not achieved, but amplitudes are
closer to those of real stars. The shapes of the light and
velocity curves correspond closely to those of the same
models with the larger kick. It is suggested that the form
of the light curve may depend on the mode of pulsation. An
attempt to use the shape of the light curves of real
stars as a diagnostic for the mode of pulsation is
unsuccessful, due to lack of data in the literature.
A number of models depleted of helium are studied. One
set has (X,Y,Z) = (0.88,0.10,0.02). The opacity table for
this composition is obtained by interpolating between the
Carson tables C312 and C402. The second set has (X,Y,Z) =
(0.98,0.00,0.02), corresponding to table C402. Both sets of
models continue to pulsate, and it is concluded that the
region of hydrogen ionisation is an important source of
driving in these stars
Letter from Helen Hopt Kleven, 1945, page 11
No full textCorrespondence (page 11 only) from Helen Hopt Kleven regarding attitudes towards resettlement of Japanese Americans to the west coast.The Japanese American Archival Collection documents the people, places, and daily life of Japanese Americans, primarily those who lived in the once thriving community of pre-war Florin in the Sacramento region, as well as the conditions in American incarceration camps during World War II. The approximately 7,000 original items include personal and official letters, photographs, diaries, arts and crafts, newsletters, textiles, camps artifacts, yearbooks and other publications
