Oral history interview with Teresa Miller
No full textTeresa Miller is a fourth-generation Oklahoman and an author. Miller grew up in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, and a fair amount of her publications relate back to this area. Along with writing novels and her memoir, Miller has taught at multiple universities and created a radio and television program, Writing Out Loud, to highlight authors. She describes overcoming writer's block, being inspired by strong female role models, and interviewing and celebrating other significant authors throughout her career.The Deep Roots: Oklahoma Authors Collection is a series of interviews with authors who discuss their lives, work, and creative processes
Round 2B: Facing Human Suffering -- A Response to Held
No full textHeld’s (2006) “Does Case Study Knowledge Need a New Epistemology?” suggests that clinical psychology might honor clinical knowledge and the case study method recommended by the author (Miller, 2004) and Fishman (1999) without abandoning an objectivist epistemology. Held’s argument suggests that there is an implicit objectivism in both authors’ adopting Bromley’s quasi-judicial method, as well as within other comments made concerning the way a case study database could be used to build inductive rules of practice. In response to Held, there is a need to further explicate the meta-ethical sense in which psychotherapy is a moral enterprise and a form of phronesis. Particularly important is the unusual feature of practical wisdom wherein the ends are intrinsic to the means, and so means and ends of clinical interventions (techniques and values) cannot be separated. Therefore all psychological diagnoses and treatments are infused with moral judgments that cannot be separated from the substantive psychological propositions indicating the nature of the problem, treatment, or outcome. One is hard pressed then to see how clinical knowledge or case study research can qualify as “objective knowledge” given the incommensurate nature of many moral disagreements, though it is knowledge nonetheless

‘I’m laughing to myself as I write this’: Speculations on an African Laughing Record in Henry Miller’s Tropic of Cancer (1934)
No full textThis presentation reflects on the process of writing a chapter about Henry Miller and racial masquerade (forthcoming, Palgrave Macmillan) that was inspired by a minor but, for me, piercing detail in Jay Martin’s biography of the author. Miller, says Martin, launched into writing Tropic of Cancer (1934) in his Paris hotel room in autumn 1931 amid the tumult of clattering typewriter keys and ‘Beethoven or jazz or an African laughing record blaring at full volume from the victrola.’1 Pursuing this intriguing reference to the African laughing record took me on a learning journey through an ever-expanding multimedia cultural archive of black laughter, which included phonograph recordings, films, cartoons, posters, poems, novels, essays, anthropological and psychological studies, and racialised minstrel performances. It provided an emerging context for attending to Miller beyond the frame of reference to largely American and European literary authors in which he is typically interpreted. One tantalising possibility that presented itself was that the ‘African laughing’ accompanying Miller’s percussive typing may have issued from the flipside of Louis Armstrong's jazz number ‘Blue, Turning Grey Over You,’ released in 1931. In this presentation, I speculate – using an approach which has a precedent in Miller criticism – that the contagious laughing record infected the text of Cancer, both sonically, as literal and figurative laughter, and visually, as free associations with the spinning shellac disc and the white light reflecting off its shiny black surface. I will suggest that reading Miller and other literary texts attentive to seemingly insignificant biographical, contextual, and descriptive details, and employing imaginative and multidisciplinary modes of interpretation can open gateways to experience differently and otherwise familiar authors and their works
Revisión sistemática: descubriendo habilidades personales asociadas a los estilos de innovación
No full text30 p.El sector agrícola se ha visto sumergido en el proceso de innovación como
respuesta a los diversos panoramas adversos a los cuales se ha visto enfrentado
en los últimos años, es así como poco a poco, se han ido incorporando nuevas
tecnologías y prácticas a la agricultura con el fin de mejorar la producción predial
con un enfoque mucho más sustentable, ésta a su vez, también considera la
capacidad de los agricultores para identificar los problemas y encontrar la solución
más efectiva a dichas problemáticas En esta revisión sistemática se buscó
determinar distintas habilidades pertenecientes al comportamiento innovador que
influirían en la forma de afrontar la innovación por parte de los agricultores, con el
fin de facilitar el proceso de extensión tecnológica, de manera que el trabajo con
los agricultores sea de manera diferencial, según sus respectivas habilidades. La
búsqueda de información se basó principalmente en complementar a lo expuesto
por el autor Miller, quién en el perfil de estilos de innovación (1996), define
características de los individuos al momento de innovar y los clasifica en “estilos”
que se presentaran en el proceso de innovación, donde en cada estilo se
encontraras distintas habilidades. Gracias a esta revisión sistemática de artículos
en relación con la innovación agraria es que se pudo encontrar 4 habilidades
(confianza en sí mismo, tolerancia al fracaso, perseverancia y liderazgo) que
estarían asociadas a los perfiles de estilos de innovación de Miller y que, en un mayor o menor grado, tendrán incidencia en la toma de decisiones de los agricultores. // ABSTRACT: The agricultural sector has been submerged in the innovation process in response
to the variety of adverse scenarios that hat it has gone through in the recent years,
this is how, step by step, new technologies and practices have been incorporated
into agriculture within order to improve farm production with a more sustainable
approach, this, in turn, also considers the ability of farmers to identify problems and
find the most effective solution to these problems. In this systematic review, we
sought to determine different abilities belonging to innovative behavior that would
influence the way farmers deal with innovation, to facilitate the process of
technological extension, so that work with farmers would be differential, according
to their respective abilities. The search for information was based mainly on
complementing what was stated by the author Miller, who in the profile of
innovation styles (1996), defines characteristics of individuals at the time of
innovating and classifies them into "styles" that will be presented in the innovation
process, where in each style you will find different abilities. Thanks to this
systematic review of articles related to agricultural innovation, it was possible to
find 4 abilities (self-confidence, tolerance for failure, perseverance, and leadership)
that would be associated with Miller's innovation style profiles and that, in to a
greater or lesser degree, will have an impact on farmers' decisionmaking
An Investigation into the Impact of Mission Statements on School Development Planning.
No full textThis thesis uses quantitative as well as qualitative methods to examine the impact of school philosophical statements on school development planning.
Three case study schools from an Asian city were selected. A questionnaire and face to face interviews were used as data gathering tools. The data from the questionnaires informed the questions created for the interviews and the outcomes of these two data sources were analysed qualitatively. As a result of the findings from qualitative analysis a further quantitative analysis was made of the questionnaire data. A total of 188 responses to questionnaires were examined and 22 interviews took place.
The main aim of this research is to empirically examine the assumptions that underpin the Council of International Schools and New England Association of Schools and College’s accreditation standards for school philosophical statements and development planning. At the heart of these assumptions is the belief that school development planning is most effective when it is closely linked to a clearly written, collaboratively created set of philosophical statements which articulate the school’s values and beliefs. To date this assumption has not been substantiated by research. A secondary aim is to examine the systems and structures in schools that assist in linking the school’s philosophy to its planning processes.
The data resulted in a set of interesting findings. Firstly, insights were gained into techniques used to reaffirm and embed school philosophy into the school’s culture. Secondly, the data suggested that the assumptions made by the accrediting agencies hold true under certain circumstances but that a school’s underlying ideology may be more powerful in driving institutional planning. As a result of the findings, suggestions to further develop accreditation standards are made and ideas for further research are proposed

A network map is produced based on the frequency and importance of the communications and interactions. The research will also address key questions identified by Johnston, There are many participants in the tourism network who have vested interests in tourism development. These vastly different sized organizations include hotels, associations of hotels and hotel owners, inbound travel agents, travel wholesalers, tourism industry associations, airlines, cruise lines, tourism promotional agencies, regional and local tourism authorities, SME tourism businesses, conference and convention centers and many more. Individuals in the tourism industry intermittently change employment. They often remain i

Finite volumes and automatic di erentiation on elliptic problems associated with oil reservoir simulation
No full textThis paper deals with theoretical and computational aspects of flow equations in a porous media based on Darcy’s law. These are equations that include the basic structure of those used in reservoir simulation but do not include several phases and several components.
The motivation for this thesis comes from a research project supported by COLCIENCIAS which several professors at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, both the Faculty of Mines and the Faculty of Sciences, are responsible. The project aims to study the oil production strategy called Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). Although the equations to shape EOR processes are more complex, those presented in this thesis are indispensable to be able to announce the general equations.
The results obtained in this proposal are related to the numerical method of discretization by finite volumes and to the computational procedure called automatic differentiation. The combination of these two techniques is of great interest to the reservoir simulation community.
This is a thesis in the field of numerical analysis, it contains theoretical results, for example consistency of a numerical scheme or existence and uniqueness of an equation and also contains eminently computational results.Este trabajo trata aspectos teóricos y computacionales de unas ecuaciones de flujo en medio poroso basadas en Ley de Darcy. Son ecuaciones que incluyen la estructura básica de las que se usan en simulación de yacimientos pero no incluyen varias fases ni varias componentes.
La motivación para el trabajo viene de un proyecto de investigación apoyado por COLCIENCIAS del que son responsables varios profesores de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, tanto de la Facultad de Minas como de la Facultad de Ciencias. El proyecto tiene por objeto el estudio de la estrategia de producción de petróleo denominada Recobro Mejorado de Petróleo (Enhanced Oil Recovery EOR.) Aunque las ecuaciones para modelar procesos de EOR son más complejas, las que presentamos en esta tesis son indispensables para poder enunciar las ecuaciones generales.
Los resultados que se obtuvieron en esta tesis están relacionados con el método numérico de discretización por volúmenes finitos y con el procedimiento computacional denominado diferenciación automática. La combinación de estas dos técnicas es de mucho interés en la comunidad dedicada a la simulación de yacimientos.
Esta es una tesis en el campo del análisis numérico, contiene resultados teóricos, por ejemplo consistencia de un esquema numérico o existencia y unicidad de una ecuación y también contiene resultados eminentemente computaciones.Maestrí
