Rewriting our comments and revisiting revision practices: new concepts for sustainable instruction in the writing classroom
No full textThe driving instructional tool in the majority of writing classrooms, comments, is failing students and instructors because comments are a tool, and not a technique. The utility of comments within the writing classroom is only as strong as its pairing with other instructional techniques. Using comments to teach comments is a flawed method of instruction, and if instructors want to properly use comments within their classes, they must first show their students how to use these techniques in improving their writing. Thus far, the focus of facilitating student revision and student growth within writing classrooms has been on the study of specific comments written by instructors on student papers. The study of such comments reveals the differences in styles, modes, and voices projected from those instructors, but it does reveal much about the intended goal of such comments, the advancement of student writing. Looking back on previous research and incorporating a multifaceted approach to revision helps to build sustainable writing instruction. A review of literature of comments suggests placing students in the center of the classroom by enabling students to take control over the revisions of their own work. This process cannot be done without teaching students how to do things with comments and how to use comments to their advantage. Starting from Joseph Harris’ Rewriting, the same steps toward revision which Harris suggests of students should be copied and applied to the way in which instructors facilitate such revision within the classroom. The improvement of student writing requires several steps which target particular issues with the status quo of commenting, and the use of Harris’ text will enable us to identify the steps. Incorporating revision into the classroom, inviting students into conversation about their text, and opening the lines of communication can help improve revision practices in writing classrooms. Through incorporating a new mastery model within the writing classroom, a technique that begins to show students how comments are made and what to do with them, students can begin to internalize the many processes which they can apply to any writing. The teacher’s goal is to help the student internalize the concepts and apply without the direct instruction of the teacher; however, many writing classrooms have lost this focus. If teachers refocus the classroom on the process of writing and even the process of editing and revising, students will become not just stronger students but writers. Adjustments in the writing classroom cannot occur overnight, but incorporating revision techniques into the course will eventually pay off as students learn to revise their work. These techniques, although not new, can prepare students for writing outside the composition classroom.M. A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Roni L. Bie
Dialettica della durata e vita intima. Attualità di Bergson tra accelerazione del tempo e alienazione sociale
No full textIn this paper the Author focuses on the legacy of dialectics through Bergson’s considerations about time and language, recalling two great interpreters of his philosophy: Giuseppe Prezzolini and Gaston Bachelard. If for the former the «philosophy of contingency» enhances the transformation of social reality, preserving, in consonance with Victor Egger’s
book La parole intérieure, the freedom of inner language, the latter proposes a break of the Bergsonian temporal continuity by opting for a plural and discontinuous duration. Thanks to these readings, it is possible to discover the temporal dialectic which regulates contemporary societies, that is, the acceleration of time and the contraction of memory, in order to develop a more humane way of living time and, consequently, to decline the problem of intersubjectivity in an intercultural perspective
Leon Garfield
No full textThrough his historical novels, adventure stories, ghost stories, satires, fairy tales, and retellings of myths and legends, Leon Garfield consistently portrays the mystery of human identity, which he describes as "the only mystery one can unravel endlessly." In this first book-length study of the author of Smith (1967), The Apprentices (1976), John Diamond (1981), and The December Rose (1986), Roni Natov engagingly chronicles the career of a natural storyteller, a man whose work is permeated with the theme of spiritual renewal
CHARACTERIZING THE DOLLAR STORE FOOD ENVIRONMENT TO INFORM POLICIES TO IMPROVE HEALTHY FOOD ACCESS IN BALTIMORE
No full textBackground
There over 35,000 dollar stores nationwide. They tend to be prevalent in some of the most vulnerable communities, and have recently garnered attention from the press, community members, and policy makers across the country. Common concerns raised about dollar stores include their density in certain areas, lack of healthy food options, lack of cleanliness, and poor working conditions and treatment of staff.
Objective
Despite recent policy action against dollar stores, the dollar store evidence base is extremely limited. The objectives of this dissertation were to: 1) characterize the Baltimore City dollar store retail environment; 2) understand how community members view and utilize them; and 3) explore community member and policy maker support for dollar store policies.
Methods
A sequential mixed-methods approach was used and included three phases: 1) in-depth interviews with community members, local retailers, dollar store staff, and policy makers; 2) structured dollar store observations and an online survey of Baltimore City residents; and 3) two workshops: one with community members and one with policy makers.
Results
Participants acknowledged that dollar stores meet certain needs in their community by offering necessities at affordable prices, in convenient locations. However, they do not otherwise contribute positively to the community, and participants want dollar stores to invest in the neighborhoods they serve. Only four dollar stores offered fresh produce, while many stocked canned and frozen produce, milk, and eggs. Ultra-processed foods were highly prevalent across all stores. There was strong support across data sources for policies that would improve existing dollar stores, as opposed to shutting them down or banning them entirely.
Conclusions
Baltimore City community members want better, cleaner dollar stores that contribute to the community and offer healthy options. Future policies should consider strategies for improving existing stores to meet community needs

BUILDING SUSTAINABLE AND RESILIENT FOOD SYSTEMS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
No full textBackground: Food systems are a major contributor to anthropogenic climate change and are significantly affected by climate-related disruptions. Recognizing this, some local governments in the United States (US) have taken actions to reduce food system greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or begun preparing for future disruptions. The outcomes of these initiatives are not well understood. This dissertation works with six local governments in the US to evaluate the effectiveness of local government strategies aimed at building healthy, sustainable, and resilient food systems.
Methods: Chapter one provides a rationale for this dissertation and an overview of the local government food system sustainability and resilience literature. Chapter two presents a policy evaluation of the nutrition and climate change co-benefits and tradeoffs of the New York City (NYC) Food Standards for Meals and Snacks Purchased and Served (Food Standards). Chapter three explores the sources and opportunities for GHG emissions mitigation for the largest food-serving agency in NYC, the Department of Education, through a lifecycle assessment of high school entrées. Chapter four explores resilience. Using survey and interview data, this chapter investigates how key attributes were linked to local governments' COVID-19 food responses and ways to strengthen these for future disruptions.
Results: Our evaluation of the NYC Food Standards showed a significant reduction in GHG emissions and stable or slightly improving nutrition indicators (e.g., increased fiber), except for a shift towards more ultra-processed foods. Our lifecycle assessment indicated that post-farmgate GHG emissions are important to consider when serving vegetarian food items and that some but not all post-farmgate policy interventions will reduce emissions. Outside NYC, we found that preparedness, diversity, redundancy, flexibility, capital reserves, and equity were crucial factors impacting cities’ COVID-19 food responses, and specific actions could be taken to foster these attributes.
Conclusions: The findings underscore the vital role of local governments in mitigating food system GHG emissions and enhancing resilience. They emphasize the need for careful evaluation to ensure that policy actions promote co-benefits for human health and equity while mitigating unintended consequences. This research contributes valuable insights to guide future efforts in building sustainable and resilient food systems

Publisher Copyright: © 2023, The Author(s).Transforming long-term conflicts into peaceful intergroup relations is one of the most difficult challenges for humanity. Such meaningful social changes are often driven by young people. But do young people living in contexts of long-term conflicts believe that change is even possible? In a series of six studies (Ntotal = 119,671) over two decades and across two unrelated intractable conflicts in Israel/Palestine and Cyprus, we found that younger (compared to older) generations from both respective rival groups have less hope for peace, and consequently less conciliatory attitudes. We also show that this gradual improvement of peace-promoting emotions and attitudes with increasing age can be experimentally accelerated in young people through a virtual reality-based aging simulation. These findings provide a new perspective on the fundamental question of why long-term conflicts are so difficult to resolve and highlight the importance of instilling hope in young generations to advance peace processes.Peer reviewe
