No full textJoyce was educated at Pine Creek Primary, Darwin High School and Adelaide teachers' College graduating with a Diploma of home Science in 1961and a Teacher's Certificate from the South Australian education Department in 1962. She was the first Home Science Teacher at Darwin High School in 1964; the first full time female teacher appointed to adult education in the NT in 1970 and continued employment through the Darwin Community College, The Darwin Institute of Technology and finally the Northern Territory University as Associate Dean of the School of Fashion and Library Studies.
When Joyce retired, she was the longest serving staff member, spanning a career of over 30 years and introduced the first award course in Fashion, upgrading the qualification to Diploma level so graduates could establish businesses in the Clothing Industry. Joyce worked tirelessly to establish the Northern Territory Fashion Awards as a platform for designers to show their work.
Initially, Joyce was responsible fro courses and activities for Women and helped establish Child Minding facilities so mothers could attend day classes. Se was also introduced Certificate Cookery courses for hospital kitchen staff and prisoners, enabling them to qualify and improve career opportunities. She taught sewing to female prisoners. In 1996, Joyce was a finalist in the Telstra Business Women's Awards in recognition of her capable administration and management as an Associate Dean.
As a Fashion Designer, Joyce won countless Fashion awards. One of her garments was acquired by the Crafts Board of Australia for their National Collection. Officials and ambassadors for the Inaugural Masters Games walked out I Joyce's designed outfits. The Northern Territory University Valedictory Stoles and Graduation Stoles were designed by Joyce.
Joyce's community involvement includes: judging dressmaking, needlework, millinery at the Royal Darwin Shows; judging the National Miss Showgirl Quest; judge of the Northern Territory Awards. Se was also a consultant/adviser to Consumer Affairs and was on the National Clothing Curriculum team. In 2004 Joyce was recognised in the Tribute to Northern Territory Women for her significant contribution to the economic, social and cultural life of the Northern Territory.EducatorAdminstratorFashion Desinge

Joyce Johnson, 2011
No full textBorn and raised in Cleaborn Homes, Joyce Johnson shares how the neighborhood has changed over time. She says people stopped looking out for one another. At the time, it felt like a community; neighbors had block parties, they helped each other out, and she felt safe. That changed as people aged and drugs were introduced
Interview with Joyce Wicklund
No full textThe purpose of this qualitative life history study was to explore the evolution of occupational therapy (OT) practice through the life history of Joyce Wicklund, a retired occupational therapist who practiced in multiple settings in North Dakota and other states from 1970-2010. The researchers conducted one 1-hour semi-structured interview with Joyce Wicklund. Themes regarding her involvement in continuing education and her perspectives on the profession were synthesized from the interview data and compared with literature about continuing education and specialization in the field of OT. The predominant categories representing the major elements of her career were Maintaining Competence, Changing Demands of OT, and Ethical and Personal Challenges. The findings indicate that Joyce Wicklund experienced increasing demands and challenges over the course of her practice and she valued the pursuit of competence in her role as a practitioner. Joyce Wicklund was a gentle, caring, accomplished occupational therapist who contributed greatly to the profession of OT by practicing with integrity and passion. Her practice had a significant impact not only on the patients she worked with, but also on her colleagues and other health professionals with whom she interacted. Joyce’s legacy of masterful and skilled practice provides an example of how to face challenges, deal with changes in the healthcare system, and maintain competence through continued education

Joyce Stowell Draper scrapbook
No full text100 p.This is a scrapbook created by Joyce (Stowell) Draper, Class of 1951, documenting her four years as a college student. Although she transferred to Western Michigan College (now WMU) during her junior year, she continued to attend Kalamazoo College events.The scrapbook includes event programs, photographs, news clippings, cards, and other printed memorabilia. Events depicted in the scrapbook include: new student rituals, Homecoming, music recitals, Religious Emphasis Week, college dances, Christmas Carol Service, Washington Banquet, Bach Festival, mock Republican convention, and May Fete. Student organizations mentioned are the Kalamazoo College Singers, the College Players, The Index student newspaper, and the Boiling Pot yearbook. The scrapbook also covers society pledging and working in the dining hall. Handwritten captions throughout the scrapbook provide further details on people and events.The photos show campus buildings, classmates, graduations, and leisure time at the beach. Some of the memorabilia illustrates student life for women. For instance, the scrapbook contains several date cards. Most of these dates were with her future husband, Richard Draper, Class of 1951.After graduation, Joyce (Stowell) Draper went on to raise a family and work as a programmer for an early software company, as a freelance writer, and as a technical writer. She also continued to play violin in various orchestras
Des lectures de Joyce, oui
No full textPartant d’anciennes discussions avec Jacques Derrida sur Finnegans Wake en 1969-1970, discussions qui ressortissaient d’un contexte critique où figuraient la phénoménologie mais aussi Tel Quel et Bakhtine, l’auteur réouvre le dossier Joyce dans les premiers essais de Derrida. Joyce aura toujours été lu par Derrida, et systématiquement pressenti, alors qu’il préparait ses thèses littéraires et philosophiques initiales, comme le rival de Husserl : Joyce incarne à lui seul le pouvoir dangereux du littéraire lorsqu’il s’allie à un hégélianisme diffus. La situation change en partie avec Ulysse gramophone, puisque si Joyce occupe encore cette position hypermnésique et historicisante face à une culture universelle, il nous lègue aussi à travers Molly et Leopold Bloom la possibilité d’une affirmation radicale, du « Oui » qui sous-tend toute écriture.Going back to discussions with Jacques Derrida in the years 1969-70 about the meaning of Finnegans Wake, discussions that were marked by a critical context in which Tel Quel and Bakhtin were important references next to phenomenology, the author reopens the Joyce file in Derrida’s earliest publications. Derrida will have always read Joyce, a Joyce felt to be Husserl’s most dangerous rival : Joyce embodies the disruptive power of literature when it allies itself to a diffuse hegelianism. The situation changes partly with Ulysses Gramophone, since Joyce still occupies the same hypermnesic and historicizing function in front of a universal culture he sums up and challenges, while bequeathing us through Leopold and Molly Bloom the possibility of a radical affirmation, the “Yes” underpinning all writing
D-orbifolds and d-bordism
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to study d-manifolds and d-orbifolds and their bordism groups. D-manifolds and d-orbifolds were recently introduced by Joyce as a new class of geometric objects to study moduli problems in algebraic and symplectic geometry. In the spirit of Joyce we will introduce the notion of (stable) nearly and homotopy complex structures on these 2-categories and study their unitary bordism groups. Fukaya and Ono proved that the moduli space of n-pointed, genus g, J-holomorphic curves Mg,n(M,J,β) carries a so called stably almost complex structure, and as Kuranishi spaces are closely related to d-orbifolds, the introduction of complex structures will be essential in studying symplectic Gromov-Witten invariants using d-orbifolds. We furthermore introduce the notion of representable d-orbifolds and prove that these representable d-orbifolds can be embedded into an orbifold. We will then explain how a result of Kresch can be used to show that many important moduli spaces in algebraic geometry, are representable and thus embeddable d-orbifolds. Moreover we will sketch how one could prove an analogous result in the symplectic case. We then prove as one of our main results, that for a compact manifold the unitary d-bordism group is isomorphic to its ‘classical’ unitary bordism group. This result extends a result by Joyce who proved a similar statement for oriented manifolds and d-manifolds. Furthermore we will introduce the notion of blowups in the 2-category of d-manifolds and prove that these d-blowups satisfy a universal property. Finally, we sketch how our results may be used to make a step towards a proof of the Gopakumar–Vafa integrality conjecture and a “resolution of singularities” theorem for d-orbifolds
Financial competing interests were associated with favorable conclusions and greater author productivity in nonsystematic reviews of neuraminidase inhibitors
No full textObjective:
To characterize the conclusions and production of nonsystematic reviews about neuraminidase inhibitors relative to financial competing interests held by the authors.
Study Design and Setting:
We searched for articles about neuraminidase inhibitors and influenza (January 2005 to April 2015), identifying nonsystematic reviews and grading them according to the favorable/nonfavorable presentation of evidence on safety and efficacy. We recorded financial competing interests disclosed in the reviews and from other articles written by their authors. We measured associations between competing interests, author productivity, and conclusions.
Results:
Among 213 nonsystematic reviews, 138 (65%) presented favorable conclusions. Financial competing interests were identified for 26% (137/532) of authors; 51% (108/213) of reviews were associated with a financial competing interest. Reviews produced exclusively by authors with financial competing interests (33%; 71/213) were more likely to present favorable conclusions than reviews with no competing interests (risk ratio 1.27; 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.55). Authors with financial competing interests published more articles about neuraminidase inhibitors than their counterparts.
Conclusion:
Half of nonsystematic reviews about neuraminidase inhibitors included an author with a financial competing interest. Reviews produced exclusively by these authors were more likely to present favorable conclusions, and authors with financial competing interests published a greater number of reviews
