Confirmed record of Bacopa sessiliflora (Benth.) Edwall (Plantaginaceae) in the Brazilian Cerrado
No full textBacopa sessiliflora (Benth.) Edwall (Plantaginaceae) is an aquatic herb that inhabits the banks of watercourses in the Neotropics. In this study, we confirmed the occurrence of the species in the Cerrado following a field collection on the banks of the Preto River, in eastern Maranhão state, Brazil, and the study of herbarium materials. A morphological description, illustrations, phenological data, and a distribution map of B. sessiliflora are provided. The new data highlight the importance of permanent protected areas, especially riverbanks, as crucial habitats for increasing our understanding of plant biodiversity in Maranhão

The poetic uses of Linnaean taxonomy from Erasmus Darwin to John Clare
No full textThis thesis challenges critical assumptions that Carl Linnaeus was a dulling if not malignant influence on Romantic poetry by exploring the ways in which Linnaean strategies of comparison and distinction, organisation and arrangement, enumeration and description find echoes in the poetry of Erasmus Darwin, William Wordsworth, and John Clare. As studies of Romantic science have proliferated in the last thirty years, research has investigated the gendered implications of the Linnaean system, as well as the imperial and commercial ramifications of botanyâs global networks. Other accounts of Linnaean botany and poetry have preferred classificatory slippages rather than taxonomyâs possibilities. By contrast, this thesis argues that Linnaeus often looked at the natural world through a poetic lens, and that works such as his Philosophia botanica (1751) pay close attention to questions of language, an attention magnified by translations such as the Lichfield Botanic Societyâs System of Vegetables (1783-5), which boasted Samuel Johnson as a consultant. Among the Lichfield Botanic Societyâs three members was Erasmus Darwin, who produced the first thoroughly Linnaean poem, The Loves of the Plants (1789). Yet the poemâs reputation as a work of literary artifice has fallen alongside Linnaeusâs own sunken currency as the author of an âartificialâ system. On the other hand, William Wordsworth and John Clare have been regularly positioned as ânaturalâ poets in opposition to the âpeepingâ botanistâs compulsion for prying and collecting. In doing so, critics have overlooked both poetsâ Linnaean engagements. Challenging allegations of the imaginative failure of Linnaeus and his system, this thesis offers a reappraisal of Linnaeus and his reception in eighteenth and early nineteenth-century Britain. By offering a reconsideration of the periodâs enthusiasm for Linnaeus and his system, it provides a more complex interpretation of Romantic responses to the natural world. </p
Development of a management practicum in a clinical psychology program
No full textSome clinical psychology programs are developing training in management in response to both the recognition that management is a major professional role for many psychologists (Clements, Rickard, & Kleinot, 1986) and the National Council of Schools of Professional Psychology’s (NCSPP) inclusion of “supervision and management” as one of six competency areas for the core curriculum in professional psychology (Peterson, R. L., McHolland, J. D., Bent, R. J., Davis-Russell, E., Edwall, G. E., Polite, K., Singer, D. L., & Stricker, G., 1991). At the Graduate School of Clinical Psychology at George Fox University (Newberg, OR), we developed a management practicum to facilitate specific and advanced training of selected doctoral students in this competency area. In this article, we compare and contrast our program with the one developed at West Virginia University (WVU), described in a previous article in this journal
Evaluating the correlation between grip strength, forearm circumference, motor dexterity and handedness in university students
No full textBackground: Handedness has been associated with different abilities, diseases and personality traits and its effect on language, motor dexterity and handedness are a well-studied matter. Measuring grip strength, forearm circumference and motor dexterity is a common way to get a better understanding the influence of handedness. Lately, studies have shown that there is a difference between right and left-handed in these above stated variables. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate differences between grip strength and motor dexterity for dominant and non-dominant hand in both left and right-handed. A second aim was to investigate the association between grip strength and motor dexterity or forearm circumference. A third aim was to study the impact heredity have on handedness. Method: The study was designed as an experimental cross-sectional study, including 29 healthy students, age 18-30. Information about age, hand dominance, current health status, former elite carrier and heredity of handedness was collected. Forearm circumference were measured in cm at the largest part of the forearm. The Purdue pegboard test measured motor dexterity by adding pegs, collars and washers to the board on time, giving a total score. Takei Grip-D were used for grip strength (kg) measurement. Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test and Spearman's correlation (rs) were used for analysis presented as median (min-max). Results: There was no significant difference between right (1.6kg; -4.1-8.0) and left-handed (0.6kg; - 3.4-7.6) regarding grip strength (p=0.43). Although, there was a large to nearly perfect correlation between forearm circumference and grip strength in both right (dominant rs=0.59; non-dominant rs=0.73) and left-handed (dominant rs=0.83; non-dominant rs=0.90). Also, a moderate correlation between motor dexterity and difference in grip strength was found for both right (rs=0.43) and left-handed (rs=-0.42). The studied group was not affected by their relative’s handedness to determine their own handedness (p=0.56). Conclusion: Forearm circumference and grip strength have a large association for both right and lefthanded. The correlation between motor dexterity and difference in grip strength were contrariwise comparing right and left-handed, indicating that handedness should be studied separate
