The impact of structured interprofessional education on students' perceptions of collaboration in a clinical setting
No full textAffiliated institutions include: Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (S. Ellis, L. Jackson, L. Young, R. Davies), Baycrest (S. Faibish, T. Kay), University of Toronto (T. Kay, R. Davies, M. Landry)Purpose: To examine how a structured interprofessional education (IPE) placement influences healthcare professional (HCP) students perceptions of interprofessional collaboration (IPC), as compared to students in a traditional (uniprofessional) clinical placement. Methods: This study employed a mixed methods design. The Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) was administered in two Toronto hospitals to HCP students (n=36) before and after a structured 5-week IPE placement to examine changes in their perceptions of IPC. Students in a traditional placement (n=28) were used as a control. Focus groups were then conducted with seven students who took part in the structured IPE placement. A coding framework was devised a priori using the subscales of the IEPS; these results were used to complement the quantitative findings. Results: Within group analyses showed a greater positive trend in IEPS scores from baseline to follow-up for the intervention group. Qualitative data suggest students valued the knowledge and skills gained through the structured IPE program. Furthermore, students provided valuable insight to optimize the format of structured IPE placements. Conclusions: Structured IPE placements provide students with valuable collaborative learning opportunities, which may lead to enhanced understanding and respect for other professionals, and improved insight into the value of IPC in healthcare delivery.Central Toronto District of the Ontario Physiotherapy Association 2010 student research gran

Emotional abuse in sport: A case study of trichotillomania in a prepubescent female gymnast

In elite sport ‘suffering’ is not uncommon and hence sometimes child abuse is sometimes unrecognised, de-emphasised or easily dismissed as part of a collective experience that is perceived to be necessary to ‘create’ elite athletes. However, even swearing, anger, raised voices and negative comments directed at child athletes by coaches is considered abuse and can, when regular and routine, cause long term wellbeing and health issues. Self-harm can be a consequence and here self-harm in the form of trichotillomania, self hair-pulling, is reported for the first time as a secondary consequence of abuse. The 12 year old female gymnast, subject of this case study, presented with this impulse control disorder as defined by the American Psychiatric Association and was successfully treated using cognitive behavioural therapy. However, the training environment, including coach behaviour, did not change and so the gymnast remained at risk of recurrence of self-harm. Such environments in sport have many characteristics in common with and reminiscent of religious cults; sacrifice, isolation, shared obsession, a charismatic leader, and often in the presence of severe calorie restriction. As a consequence of ageing, growth, injury and an unchanging abusive environment, a year later the gymnast retired from the sport
Mouse click plagiarism: can technology help to fight back?
No full textMany students arrive at university accustomed to adopting the internet as their primary source of information, but with no prior experience of referencing. This raises issues of the reliability and validity of digital sources, as well as bringing new opportunities for cheating. The internet has made plagiarism quicker and easier; a student simply needs to click the mouse to copy and paste sections of text. The author is interested in the process of academic writing and how, if the text is constructed by a couple of clicks, learning may be limited. This small scale study explores students’ perceptions, knowledge and experience of referencing, plagiarism and the text-matching software, Turnitin. Using an online survey and focus groups, the practitioner endeavours to see if technology can be used to deter plagiarism and enhance the student learning experience. The study concludes that, while students superficially understand plagiarism, they struggle with the importance and conventions of referencing. Students require (and expect) early and appropriate educational support to adopt the cultural norms of higher education and learn the process of reading, analysing, synthesising and acknowledging the work of others. Turnitin has limitations, but it does appear to be effective at deterring plagiarism and has the potential to be a learning tool, if introduced and used appropriately
It's the market power, stupid! Stock return patterns in international bank M&A
No full textThis paper analyzes capital market reactions to international bank M&A. We investigate combined stock return patterns of targets, bidders, and their peers upon takeover announcement, and closing or withdrawal. We distinguish five common M&A hypotheses and relate characteristic and mutually exclusive abnormal stock return patterns to each hypothesis. We find that investors believe in gains through the exploitation of market power by the post-merger entity. In a multinomial logistic model we show that patterns related to market power significantly concur with large relative target size, intra-industry mergers, and increasing market concentration, suggesting a substantial lessening of competition through M&A. --M&A,Banks,Event Study,Peer Returns,Market Power

The weaver at the loom: A discussion of Guy Gavriel Kay’s use of myth and legend in The Fionavar Tapestry
No full textThis work will examine the ways in which contemporary fantasy author, Guy Gavriel Kay, uses myths and legends in the construction of his high fantasy trilogy, The Fionavar Tapestry by demonstrating the thematic and structural similarities between these genres. It will do so by analysing some of the myths and legends used in Kay’s texts. These come from a variety of sources including Celtic, Norse and Greek mythology; Judeo-Christian myths; and some of the legends associated with King Arthur. It will also show the connections between these myths and legends as they often utilise similar themes or have a shared heritage. For accounts of the Arthurian legends this study has used those given in Le Morte d’Arthur and The Mabinogion, though there are many other sources available. In order to demonstrate the structural connections, this work will apply the theories of Vladimir Propp as established in the Morphology of the Folktale. However, the complexity of the narratives in fantasy literature as compared to the simplicity of folktales and what that means for the application of the ‘Functions of Dramatis Personae’ will also be explored. The choices Kay makes concerning the names of characters and places within his trilogy will be examined alongside their legendary counterparts
