THE OBSESSION OF CONTROL IN THE CHARACTER “EVE BLACKWELL” IN SIDNEY SHELDON’S MASTER OF THE GAME
No full textDalam suatu kelompok masyarakat, terdapat berbagai jenis kepribadian. Meskipun mereka hidup secara berdampingan dalam lingkungan yang sama, kemungkinan akan terjadinya konflik sangatlah terbuka lebar. Dalam skripsi ini, penulis membahas jenis kepribadian narsisistik, konflik – konflik yang dihadapi. dengan orang – orang disekitarnya maupun dengan dirinya sendiri, serta berakhirnya obsesi untuk pengendalian dari tokoh bernama Eve Blackwell dalam novel berjudul Master of the Game karya Sidney Sheldon. Keinginan si tokoh untuk memenangkan perhatian sang nenek dari saudari kembarnya berkembang menjadi keinginan akan kepuasan lahir dan batin dengan mengendalikan orang – orang disekitarnya termasuk dalam hubungan seks. Tujuan penulisan skripsi ini adalah untuk memaparkan usaha – usaha Eve Blackwell, dalam novel Master of the Game karya Sidney Sheldon, untuk mengendalikan orang – orang disekitarnya, konflik – konflik yang dihadapinya dan juga akhir dari obsesi akan kendalinya.
Untuk menganalisis tokoh ini, penulis menggunakan metode pendekatan struktural dan psikologis dengan menggabungkan teori narsisisme dari Joanna M. Ashmun dan teori obsesi dari S. Rachman. Penulis mengumpulkan data – data yang dibutuhkan dengan menggunakan metode penelitian pustaka.
Setelah melakukan analisis yang ditunjang oleh data - data, kita dapat mengetahui bahwa orang berkepribadian narsisistik seperti tokoh Eve Blackwell , yang kekuatan utamanya ada pada parasnya yang cantik, dapat menghalalkan segala cara untuk mewujudkan keinginannya. Namun dalam usaha – usahanya tersebut muncul berbagai bentuk perlawanan yang akan berujung pada konflik, baik internal maupun eksternal. Di bagian akhir analisis, kita juga dapat mengetahui bahwa dominasi orang berkepribadian narsisistik dapat dihentikan oleh kemunculan orang yang tepat seperti Keith Webster, yang berprofesi sebagai dokter operasi plastik, di waktu yang tepat
Sheldon and Co's Modern School Third Reader.
No full textTwo fables find their way into this little book: The Lark and Her Young (47) and Trying to Please Everybody (MSA, 73). The latter has a distinctive and lively illustration. This book is in terrible condition: one missing and many torn pages, foxing, a weak binding, and coloring all help to keep its value down! There are strong engravings of children in this book. Some child has written on 238: Do let me sleep ! The binding now exposed shows a fascinating use of a small iron bar, heavy mesh, and nails.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)After Artzybasheff and Sir Robert [sic] L'Estrang
René Géronimo Favaloro : pioneer of Cardiac Surgery
No full textDr. René G. Favaloro moved to the Cleveland Clinic in 1962 and proceeded to reshape the face of cardiac surgery as we knew it. Together with his colleagues at the Cleveland Clinic, Drs. Effler, Sones, Proudfit, Groves, Sheldon and countless others, he contributed to the double internal mammary arterymyocardial implantation by the Vineberg method, and by May 1967, he reconstructed the right coronary artery by the saphenous vein graft interposition. These landmark procedures paved the way for the aorto-coronary saphenous vein bypass graft in October 1967. Many similar breakthroughs ensued, with the application of the bypass technique to the left coronary artery, the combination of coronary artery bypass graft with left ventricular reconstruction and valve repair/replacement and finally, by December, a double bypass to the right coronary artery and anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery. In June, 1971, Dr. Favaloro decided to leave the Cleveland Clinic and return to Argentina where he created a medical centre, a teaching unit, a research department and finally an Institute of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery. This was his greatest personal ambition. Over and above his brilliant mind and craft, Dr. Favaloro was a man of integrity, courage, honesty and humility, whose name will never cease to reverberate throughout the history of medicine.peer-reviewe
Universal Probability Distribution for the Wave Function of a Quantum System Entangled with Its Environment
No full textA quantum system (with Hilbert space H1) entangled with its environment (with Hilbert space H2) is usually not attributed a wave function but only a reduced density matrix ρ1. Nevertheless, there is a precise way of attributing to it a random wave function ψ1, called its conditional wave function, whose probability distribution μ1 depends on the entangled wave function ψ∈H1⊗H2 in the Hilbert space of system and environment together. It also depends on a choice of orthonormal basis of H2 but in relevant cases, as we show, not very much. We prove several universality (or typicality) results about μ1, e.g., that if the environment is sufficiently large then for every orthonormal basis of H2, most entangled states ψ with given reduced density matrix ρ1 are such that μ1 is close to one of the so-called GAP (Gaussian adjusted projected) measures, GAP(ρ1). We also show that, for most entangled states ψ from a microcanonical subspace (spanned by the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian with energies in a narrow interval [E,E+δE]) and most orthonormal bases of H2, μ1 is close to GAP(tr2ρmc) with ρmc the normalized projection to the microcanonical subspace. In particular, if the coupling between the system and the environment is weak, then μ1 is close to GAP(ρβ) with ρβ the canonical density matrix on H1 at inverse temperature β=β(E). This provides the mathematical justification of our claim in [J. Statist. Phys. 125:1193 (2006), http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0309021] that GAP measures describe the thermal equilibrium distribution of the wave function.Peer reviewe
Unheralded Historian: Mary Sheldon Barnes and Primary Source Material in History Books
No full textABSTRACT
UNHERALDED HISTORIAN: MARY SHELDON BARNES AND PRIMARY SOURCE MATERIAL IN HISTORY BOOKS
by
James A. Chisholm, Jr.
In the latter part of the nineteenth century, Mary Sheldon Barnes emerged as a leading historical methods professor and history textbook author. Although men dominated the field, she wrote several articles and books alone or with her husband Earl Barnes about primary source materials and teaching. She lived during an era in United States history when education was evolving. Students studied traditional subjects such as grammar, mathematics, and Latin using rote memorization. Students who failed to learn classroom material faced varying degrees of punishment from teachers. Classroom pedagogy in the nineteenth century was teacher-focused and teachers often employed a considerable amount of physical fear.
Mary Sheldon Barnes developed her pedagogy and writing style using scientific history and German seminary style classrooms. As a teacher, she taught in a normal school, gender specific college, and a co-educational institution of higher learning and these experiences impacted her pedagogy. Barnes rejected the regimented, teacher-centered, memorization/recitation pedagogy of the nineteenth century. She preferred a teaching style that provided more student-centered, discussion-oriented history pedagogy.
This study utilizes biography as a format to explore Mary Sheldon Barnes as a pioneer teacher and author. Following her death, history textbook authors turned away from source material textbooks back to traditional chronological design and ignored her contributions to social education history. This dissertation provides an examination of her life and explores its influence on contemporary textbooks and pedagogy
Sheldon the Shy Tortoise: A Children's Book About Shyness
No full textabstract: This creative project is a children's book entitled Sheldon the Shy Tortoise. Accompanying the story is a literature review of the research on childhood shyness. The purpose of the project is to gain a better of understanding of shyness in childhood. Topics covered in the literature review include risk factors and causes, negative social and behavioral effects, impact on academics, and treatment options. Using this information, the children's book was written. It aims to be fun for children to read while also providing insight and encouragement into some of the problems related to being shy. The story features animal characters and a relatively simple plot so it is easily understandable by the target audience of late-preschool and early-elementary children. The main character, Sheldon the tortoise, is often physically and metaphorically "stuck in his shell". He wants to participate in social activities but is afraid to do so. Through a series of events and interactions, Sheldon starts to come out of his shell in every sense of the phrase. The book is illustrated using photographs of hand-crocheted stuffed animals representing each of the characters. By incorporating scholarly research into the writing process, children will hopefully be able to gain an understanding of their shyness and ways to help decrease it. Teachers should be able to better understand their shy students and understand some of the unique challenges of working with shy children. This creative project helps convey necessary information to children and families during a critical period of development

The objectives of this research are to identify, to collect and to analyze the form of personal pronouns in the novel. The data are collected by focusing on the use personal pronouns by the author of the novel. The problem of the research is : what are the personal pronouns in term of form and function in the novel The Stars Shine Down By Sidney Sheldon. I, she, we, they, can be subjects of a verb. Example : I saw it. He knows you. They live near here. Complements of the verb to be : Example : It is I. Me, him, her, us, them can be direct objects of a verb : Example : I saw her. Tom likes them. Those concepts above will be used for identifying and analyzing data. The result shows that the forms of personal pronouns in the novel The Stars Shine Down By Sidney Sheldon are in singular and plural forms. In terms of the function, there are personal pronouns that have the function as a subject, object, possessive adjective and possessive pronoun in the sentences
Exchanges, Claims, and Powers: About Bruno Leoni’s Social Theory
No full textIn this paper the author argues that the main intellectual contribution of the Italian jurist Bruno Leoni (1913-1967) is usually connected to his analysis of the opposition between legislation and law, between the order built by lawmakers on one side and the set of norms defined by jurists (as in Roman jus civile) or courts (as in ancient English common law) on the other. But at the core of his analysis is what he wrote about individual claims: the idea that the legal order is the outcome of specific individual activity when people demand something from the other members of society. However, he argues, that two aspects of Leoni’s theory are quite problematic. First, a philosophy identifying law with the most common claims cancels the tension between legality and legitimacy, between what is and what should be. Second, from the perspective of a general theory of law, it seems reasonable that human coexistence can be better explained if we introduce something more demanding than simple exchange and at the same time something less demanding but no less important, namely the permanent presence of violent behavior
