Evaluating the use of a Teacher’s Diary to illuminate the moral dimensions of a teacher educator’s everyday work.
No full textThis paper aims to evaluate my early attempts at using my Teacher’s Diary as a method (Aleskewski 2006, Holly & Altrichter 2011, Bold 2012) to gain a deeper insight into the moral dimensions of my day to day practice as a teacher educator in the tertiary sector in the UK. I chose this method of data collection firstly for its potential to be authentic, trustworthy and systematic due the very nature of the researcher as participant (Ellis 2004, 2009; Piper & Simons 2011) and secondly as a genuine method to interpret my everyday actions as moral ones. This evaluation aims to highlight the extent to which I was able to reach these aims as a novice auto-ethnographical researcher. Much of the literature reflecting upon the use of diaries and narratives in research is able to demonstrate the rich data that can emerge from the text that is then analysed and interpreted by both researcher and reader (Ellis 2004; Anderson 2006; Sparkes 2007; Kenton 2011; Bold 2012). This rich data is often put forward as best placed to help readers connect with the author and understand their experiences of their cultural context more fully. The first aim of this paper is to share my experiences of using this method of data collection by highlighting the contradictions and challenges and sometimes ‘messy’ nature of maintaining diaries (Holly & Altrichter 2011) within education research contexts as both the teacher-participant and researcher. The second aim of the paper is to reflect upon the usefulness of the dairy as a way of ‘seeing’ practice. The third aim is to briefly draw upon literature from the work of Pring (2001), Goodlad et al (1990) and Mahony (2009) and Fallona (2000) Noddings (2010) who suggest that teaching is a moral endeavour and that teacher’s morals can be visible in their practice and to analyse examples of the diary entries that show moral dimensions. The paper will add to the work of Webb & Blond (1995) and Husu & Tirri (2003) who also explore the extent to which a Teacher’s Diary can, in a practical way, show the moral aspects that arise, and the decisions taken, on a day to day basis by one teacher educator. The paper begins to highlight the extent to which morals can be taught or caught in this context, namely teacher education (Mahoney 2009), and makes the point as Kiss and Euban (2010) do, that developing the virtues of intellect either through explicit curriculum, pedagogical choices or institutional values, cannot be separated from developing virtues of character

Oral Cavity
No full textThis chapter covers the pathology of mucosal and soft tissue lesions of the oral cavity. The basic embryology, anatomy and histology of the mouth are discussed, together with some practical applications of this knowledge. This is followed by a consideration of embryonic rests and heterotopia. The major sections are divided into: vesiculo-bullous disease; ulcerative lesions; white lesions; pigmentations, including nevi and melanoma; hyperplastic lesions; benign tumours and pseudotumours; and squamous cell carcinoma. The latter section is restricted mainly to the clinical features and oral regional variations of this tumour
Connecting does not necessarily mean learning: Course handbooks as mediating tools in school-university partnerships
No full textThis is the author's accepted manuscript (titled "Course handbooks as mediating tools in learning to teach"). The final published article is available from the link below. Copyright @ 2011 American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education.Partnerships between schools and universities in England use course handbooks to guide student teacher learning during long field experiences. Using data from a yearlong ethnographic study of a postgraduate certificate of education programme in one English university, the function of course handbooks in mediating learning in two high school subject departments (history and modern foreign languages) is analyzed. Informed by Cultural Historical Activity Theory, the analysis focuses on the handbooks as mediating tools in the school-based teacher education activity systems. Qualitative differences in the mediating functions of the handbooks-in-use are examined and this leads to a consideration of the potential of such tools for teacher learning in school–university partnerships. Following Zeichner’s call for rethinking the relationships between schools and universities, the article argues that strong structural connections between different institutional sites do not necessarily enhance student teacher learning
Tauberian theorems for the product of weighted and Cesàro summability methods of double sequences
No full textInternational Conference of Mathematical Sciences 2018, ICMS 2018 -- 31 July 2018 through 6 August 2018 -- 146701In this paper, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions, under which convergence of a double sequence in Pring-sheim's sense follows from its weighted-Cesàro summability. These Tauberian conditions are one-sided or two-sided if it is a sequence of real or complex numbers, respectively. © 2019 Author(s)
Oral potentially malignant disorders: a practical review for the diagnostic pathologist
No full textThis article provides a broad overview of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and associated entities. The review opens with an update on the terminology surrounding OPMD before summarizing the lesions and conditions currently recognized as OPMD by the World Health Organization (WHO). Approaches to diagnosing oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) are discussed in the context of the WHO's recently modified architectural and cytological criteria for OED. The spectrum of reactive epithelial changes – which may mimic OED - is explored for comparison. The review then focuses on four significant OPMD - proliferative verrucous leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis, HPV-associated OED, and oral lichen planus – with clinical and histopathological examples. Next, potential pitfalls - non-preneoplastic lesions that can mimic OPMD clinically and histopathologically - are highlighted; these include chronic hyperplastic candidosis, verruciform xanthoma, granular cell tumour, and hairy leukoplakia. Molecular tests for identifying and stratifying OPMD are commented on briefly as - to date - histopathology remains the most reliable prognosticator. Clinicopathological correlation is critical to accurate histopathological diagnosis, risk stratification, and clinical management. The review closes by highlighting clinical features – e.g., associated redness – indicative of high risk
