Bryce DeWitt referee report on paper, "Everett's Theory and the 'Many Worlds' Interpretation"
No full textAround 1988, Bryce DeWitt was asked to referee a paper by an author who argued that that DeWitt's version of Hugh Everett's theory was not true to Everett's original work. In his referee report, DeWitt offers to "set the record straight" about his interpretation of Everett's work. This is a copy of DeWitt's referee report. A version of the reviewed paper was subsequently published in 1990 in the American Journal of Physics. At the request of the DeWitt estate, the name of the author of the paper has been redacted.

Alfredo Bryce Echenique's word
No full textEn este artículo realizaremos una lectura panorámica del universo narrativo del escritor Alfredo Bryce Echenique. Podría decirse que toda la obra de Bryce se fundamenta en dos grandes ejes temáticos. Por un lado, Bryce es uno de los grandes cronistas de la burguesía peruana en novelas como Un mundo para Julius, No me esperen en abril y El huerto de mi amada. Por otro, una parte importante de su quehacer novelístico desde Tantas veces Pedro (1977) en adelante ha explorado la idiosincrasia de la identidad peruana ubicando a sus personajes en un mundo cultural ajeno al propio y viviendo un singular exilio. Todas las novelas de Bryce examinan la psicología del sujeto desclasado, antiheroico y solitario, que a menudo vive intensas experiencia sentimentales que subrayan su desarraigo en el mundo. La obra de Bryce exhibe siempre una voz propia para narrar, caracterizada por una oralidad siempre expansiva y envolvente y el despliegue de un humor irónico, corrosivo y revelador.Since the publication of his first novel, Un mundo para Julius (1970), Al-fredo Bryce Echenique can be considered an oustanding chronicler of Peru’s ruling class, exposing its many social and moral contradictions. While the author will return to this topic time and again, in other works, such as Tantas veces Pedro (1977) and La vida exagerada de Martín Romaña (1981), Bryce is also a keen explorar of Peruvian identity through the experience of exile. Orality and humor are at the core of his unique style of writing to showcase the trials and tribulations of his many anti-heros

Evaluation of school-based arts education programs in Australian schools
No full textThis evaluation of four Australian school-based arts programs found that, although there was no evidence of improvement in academic progress, involvement in arts programs has a positive impact on students\u27 engagement with learning and often leads to improved attendance at school.Participation in school-based arts education programs can have a positive impact on students\u27 engagement with learning, according to recent ACER research. However, there was little statistical evidence of improvement in academic progress as a result of participation in arts education. Jennifer Bryce reports on the study. Anecdotal evidence from Australian arts programs and overseas studies suggest that exposure to the arts provides positive general learning outcomes, particularly for young people who are Indigenous, in remote or regional communities or from disadvantaged backgrounds. Four Australian school-based arts programs were evaluated, with a focus on the following questions: * What is the impact of each arts program on participating students\u27 academic progress, engagement with learning and attendance at school? * Are empirical or anecdotal examples of improved learning outcomes substantiated? * What are the attributes of arts programs that are of particular benefit to students? Four schools were selected for the study because they were seen as examples of good practice that might substantiate claims that exposure to the arts provides positive general learning outcomes. There was a range of ages and a diverse range of backgrounds among the participating students. Data were taken from a range of sources, including administrative records, interviews, observations, questionnaires and tests and other assessments administered as part of the study
