Comparison of Marivaux's "Le jeu de l'amour et du hasard" and Goldsmith's "She stoops to conquer"
No full textThesis (M.A.)--University of Wichita, Dept. of FrenchThe purpose of this thesis is to discover and correlate the various points of similarity and of differences
found in the study of 'Le Jeu de l'amour et du hasard', by Pierre Carlet de Chamblain de Marivaux, and 'She Stoops to
Conquer', by Oliver Goldsmith. The method of approach was suggested to the writer by her undergraduate work in the
department or French, where connections are constantly being formed with other subjects. An attempt is made to
point out how each author reflects his own life and contemporary environment in comedies of almost identical
plots, and to note the possibilities of direct influence of "Le Jeu de l' Aamour et du hasard' upon 'She Stoops to Conquer'
Book Review: JAMIE STOOPS. The Thorny Path: Pornography in Early Twentieth-Century Britain. Montreal: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2018. Pp. 312. $39.95 (cloth).
No full text[p.1]: "Jamie Stoops’s The Thorny Path is a fascinating and much-needed addition to scholarship on the social history of pornography and its regulation. As Stoops points out in her introduction, investigations of this history in the British context have largely focused on the nineteenth century. Little scholarship has addressed the practicalities of making, distributing, and consum- ing pornography in Britain during the interwar period or examined the extent to which author- ities attempted to regulate it within the country. Over six chapters, Stoops addresses these practicalities, outlining (1) the structures of pornography production, distribution, and con- sumption in Britain between 1900 and 1945; (2) the British pornography trade’s relation to producers and consumers in other countries; (3) the content of British pornography during this period; (4) the British press’s representation of the trade; (5) anti-vice societies’ role in policing pornography within and outside British borders; and (6) the British state’s approaches to policing pornography. Stoops employs a broad definition of “pornography,” covering material of varying degrees of explicitness and a variety of media, including film, pho- tography, published and unpublished literature, pulp magazines, and comics."</p
Oaths, Imprecations and Other Blasphemous Formulas in Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer and Sheridan's The Rivals
No full textSome people may resort to foul language like swearing and cursing to vent uncontrollably intense feelings. These profane and stigmatized expressions, which occur in a large variety of forms, have evolved for centuries and are now deep-rooted in English-sy>eaking countries. It is true that most of them have lost their original or literal senses and are used merely as meaningless expletives, but there are some which are still deemed strictly as taboo--social restrictions prohibit their use in public. This article deals with oaths, imprecations and other blasphemous formulas found in Goldsmith's She Stoops to Conquer (1773) and Sheridan's The Rivals (1775). Examples are sorted according to their fundamental meanings, with some statistical analyses added in a later section for further discussion. We are concerned here particularly
with the linguistic features influenced by such social factors as "gender" and "class," tracing the trends in 18th century British society. We hope to elucidate what conventional formulas were widely adopted in those days and how new modes were devised by each author

Implementing a routine health management information system in South Sudan
No full textSouth Sudan has recently acquired statehood. Planning and management of the health care system, based on evidence, requires a constant flow of information from health services. The Division of Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) of the Ministry of Health developed the framework for the health sector of the country in 2008. At that time data were collected through surveys and assessments.Two health system assessments conducted in 2007 (1) and 2009 (2) highlighted the absence of a working routine Health Management Information System (HMIS). An M&E Scoping Mission conducted in March 2010 (3) noted the lack of tools and procedures for data collection, the inconsistent data flow and the limited capacity for analysis and use of data for action at all levels of the system. A plan to develop the system based on the ‘3-ones’ strategy (one database, one monitoring system, one leadership) was put in place under the leadership of the Ministry of Health (MOH). The MOH has since developed, tested and refined the tools and procedures for the routine HMIS, produced a comprehensive roll out plan and started the integration of health programmes into the system.The design of the routine HMIS tools was followed by their pre-test in Jonglei and Upper Nile States. In these two states, the combination of appropriate tools, training and support resulted in health facilities, counties and states officers able to provide consistent and quality routine reports. While this happened in the two states, at central level tools were refined and explained to MOH programmes staff and partners staff; consensus was built on the need for collecting only the relevant data for action and the database for the South Sudan information system was developed in the District Health Information Software (DHIS). This joint approach provided the needed impulse for the health agencies to adhere to the MOH system. From February 2011, a flurry of activities happened to support M&E in states and counties including provision of equipment, printing and distribution of registers and manuals and training in HMIS and DHIS of MOH officers, partners and programmes staff.This approach has started to pay off and the routine information system is progressing. This paper presents the path followed, challenges met, advances made, and the way forward in establishing an integrated routine HMIS in South Sudan
Are students with disabilities getting quality secondary education in the State of California?
No full textThis study was to gather and report information from California State University (CSU) professors on whether students with disabilities are receiving quality secondary education in the State of California. The author sent out seven open-ended questions to professors who were currently teaching in the Teacher Education and Special Education departments. By using Strauss and Glaser's (1967) four-stage analysis of grounded theory to analyze the professors' responses. The two emergent themes that results indicated were that professors perceived a lower quality of secondary education for students with disabilities were receiving; the second was the lack of education that potential secondary educators were receiving within their perspective programs. The inclusive preparation model (IPM) theory that resulted from the yielded results suggested that professors believed that the current CSU teacher preparation program needed to reform their program to ensure that students with disabilities would receive the quality secondary education
