A director's approach to Garson Kanin's Born Yesterday.
No full textGarson Kanin’s 1945 play, Born Yesterday, depicts the transformation of a former chorus girl from an ignorant young “lady” into an educated and cultured “woman”. A Director’s Approach to Garson Kanin’s Born Yesterday explores the analytical and production aspects of producing the play on Baylor University’s mainstage. Chapter One explores the author, his works, and a critical assessment of previous Born Yesterday productions. Chapter Two gives analytical insight used to create a unified concept while Chapters Three and Four relay the practical application of the analysis and investigate collaboration with designers and actors. Finally, Chapter Five concludes with a discussion of strengths and weaknesses of the final production.M.F.A

co-curricular, and extra-curricular learning outcomes.Not peer reviewe
Hepatitis C viraemia rebound after “successful” interferon therapy in patients with chronic non‐A, non‐B hepatitis
No full textA quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for hepatitis C viral RNA (HCV-RNA) was used to monitor viraemia levels in six patients at multiple time points before, during, and after interferon therapy for chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANBH). Prior to therapy, serum HCV-RNA was detected in all patients at approximately 10(4)-10(5) HCV genomes/ml. HCV viraemia became undetectable within 1 month of commencing interferon in three of the five patients whose alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels decreased to normal on therapy. In the remaining two responder patients, viraemia levels declined more slowly, becoming undetectable after a period of several months. Recurrence of viraemia during therapy was observed in two cases. The one patient whose serum ALT levels remained elevated throughout therapy showed no decline in viraemia. On stopping interferon after a 6 months course, HCV genome titres climbed rapidly in all patients, reaching higher levels than had been observed prior to therapy. Biochemical relapse occurred within 7 months of ending interferon treatment in all but one of the patients who demonstrated this viraemia "rebound" phenomenon
Detection of serum reverse transcriptase activity in patients with ALS and unaffected blood relatives
No full textThese results confirm that patients with ALS have a significantly higher prevalence of serum reverse transcriptase (RT) activity than that seen in unrelated control subjects. The finding of a similarly increased prevalence in blood relatives of ALS patients raises the possibility that the observed RT activity might be due to an inherited endogenous retrovirus

Internationalization and intercultural learning: A mixed methods study
No full textThis chapter presents the findings of a mixed-method study that sought to measure upper level students’ intercultural development and their perceptions of intercultural learning in academic settings. Quantitative data was provided by participants (n=178) completing the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI) and was
analyzed to determine which demographic variables influenced IDI scores. Focus groups provided qualitative data to understand students’ experiences learning in
multicultural, academic environments. The results show significant overestimation of intercultural competence in the sample, which taken together with the student
voice, provide a snapshot of intercultural learning and development across the disciplines. The findings clearly indicate a need for intentional pedagogy and curricular
revision in order to prepare graduates as professionals and citizens in increasingly multicultural and globalized contexts.Peer reviewedBook Chapte
