Reading Caribbean writing : a cross-cultural approach to the work of Edward Kamau Braithwaite, V. S. Naipaul, Derek Walcott and Wilson Harris.
No full textThis study is centrally concerned with the practice of reading Caribbean writing, and the representation of writers and readers, writing and reading in the work of four major Caribbean writers: Edward Kamau Brathwaite, V.S. Naipaul, Derek Walcott and Wilson Harris. In it I seek to overcome some of the difficulties of reading culturally different books by offering a cross-cultural approach to selected literary texts. Since the emergence of an identifiable body of Anglophone Caribbean writing in the 1950’s and 1960’s, the literature of and about the Caribbean has largely been read in terms of a search for identity. I wish to argue that a key aspect of this search for identity is manifested in a thematic, formal and stylistic preoccupation with writing and reading that is evident in the literary works of Brathwaite, Naipaul, Walcott and Harris. The work of Russian literary theorist and philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin is central to my development of a cross-cultural approach to Caribbean writing. It is my intention to suggest that Bakhtin’s work offers a valuable resource and response to the dilemma faced by the Western reader of Caribbean writing: a resource that not only provides a rich area of analysis in the field of cultural, linguistic and literary hybridisation, but that also implicitly offers a valuable theorisation of the practice of reading across cultures. The thesis comprises of six major chapters and a short conclusion. The opening chapter introduces issues relating to the reading of Caribbean writing, and establishes a theoretical connection between the work of Bakhtin and ideas central to Caribbean and postcolonial studies. Thereafter attention switches from Brathwaite to Naipaul, Walcott and Harris, to consider questions of language, authorship, history, reading and the tempero-spatial representation of the cross-cultural Caribbean
English language learners and nonfiction research writing: a fourth and fifth grade writers workshop
No full textThe research question addressed in this project was, how can I create a writers workshop curriculum unit on nonfiction research reports that is both meaningful and accessible for fourth and fifth grade English Language Learners? A motivating factor for the author in designing this curriculum unit was the visible struggle of nonnative speakers of English to write in a second language, and most specifically to write in the genre of nonfiction research. The author uses related research literature to validate the curriculum content as well as to incorporate into the unit strategies proven successful in the instruction of English Language Learners at the upper elementary level. The unit is an integration of the major components of writers workshop, based on the works of Calkins and Fletcher, with the tenets and format of the Understanding by Design philosophy of curriculum development

This is a small species (CL, L 3> L 1>L 2, all relatively slender. Legs yellow grading distally to mid brown, femur without three dark brown transverse bands, patella with a single transverse brown band, tibia with two transverse brown bands and metatarsus with two transverse bands and tarsus with a single transverse band. Epigynum: consisting of two large fossae and a darker sclerotised margin. A distinct brown patch varying in shape and position is sometimes found in the middle of each fossa. Guides and copulatory openings indistinct. Guide consistent in shape but varying in position with different parts emphasised in different specimens. Anterior edge of the insemination duct beyond or near the anterior edge of the epigynum. Posterior edge of the insemination duct in line with or anterior to the matching edge of the guide. Accessory gland in the distal third of the insemination duct. Insemination duct passes laterally across the anterior part of the fossa to the mid line and then move posteriorly until entering the spermatheca on the posterior mid line. Spermatheca pear-shaped and within the margin of the fossa towards the posterior edge. Right and left spermatheca touching, insemination ducts well separated. The fertilization duct is short, arising from a branch of varying length off the anterior edge of the spermatheca and curving dorsally in a tight circle. Dimensions: CL 2.77 ± 0.04 (26) 2.35–3.10, EFL 1.22 ± 0.02 (26) 1.02–1.36, CW 2.27 ± 0.03 (26) 1.98– 2.54, AEW 1.98 ± 0.02 (26) 1.86–2.11, AMEW 1.1 ± 0.01 (26) 1.05–1.30, PEW 1.91 ± 0.02 (26) 1.67–2.11. Distribution and biology. Only found to the east of the Great Dividing Range from southern NSW to central Queensland (Fig. 54), though predicted to be found in Victoria and South Australia. Found under bark in eucalypt forest and woodlands. Likely IUCN Red List Category LC.Published as part of Richardson, Barry J. & Gunter, Nicole L., 2012, Revision of Australian jumping spider genus Servaea Simon 1887 (Aranaea: Salticidae) including use of DNA sequence data and predicted distributions, pp. 1-33 in Zootaxa 3350 on pages 26-30, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21246
TMD diagnosis–What should general dentists and orthodontists know?
No full text\ua9 2024 The Author(s)Diagnosis is the cornerstone of care for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in order to provide crucial forward momentum in terms of patient engagement and education alongside provision of appropriate management. Despite its importance diagnostic confidence for TMD is reported as low in the primary care settings. This article will consider potential reasons for this and outline the importance of diagnosis for both individuals living with the condition and clinicians. We will suggest utilisation of a pragmatic, evidence based, broad group diagnosis using simplified examination procedures and diagnostic aids to support the TMD diagnostic process for clinicians
An Assessment of the Efficacy of an Experiential Component within a Classroom-based Middle School Environmental Education Curriculum
No full textIn this study the author sought to examine the effectiveness of experiential
environmental education in a sixth grade classroom. Classroom instruction was provided
to a control group and an experiential component was added to classroom instruction for
an experimental group. A test of the author's design was used as a pretest and post test.
The post test was given twice: At the conclusion of instruction and at 6 months. Using a
Paired Student's t test, differences were determined between the test scores for both
groups. Only the experimental group had a statistically significant score increase between
the pretest and first post test. However, at the six month post test the increase
disappeared. Further studies are needed to determine the long-term effectiveness of
discrete instructional units of environmental education and efforts should be made to
incorporate environmental education across the K-12 curriculum in order to promote the
development of responsible environmental behaviors

No full textDisruption of the developmental programme of Trypanosoma brucei by genetic ablation of TbZFP1, a differentiation-enriched CCCH protein
No full textThe regulation of differentiation is particularly important in microbial eukaryotes that inhabit multiple environments. The parasite Trypanosoma brucei is an extreme example of this, requiring exquisite gene regulation during transmission from mammals to the tsetse fly vector. Unusually, trypanosomes rely almost exclusively on post-transcriptional mechanisms for regulated gene expression. Hence, RNA binding proteins are potentially of great significance in controlling stage-regulated processes. We have previously identified TbZFP1 as a trypanosome molecule transiently enriched during differentiation to tsetse midgut procyclic forms. This small protein (101 amino acids) contains the unusual CCCH zinc finger, an RNA binding motif. Here, we show that genetic ablation of TbZFP1 compromises repositioning of the mitochondrial genome, a specific event in the strictly regulated differentiation programme. Despite this, other events that occur both before and after this remain intact. Significantly, this phenotype correlates with the TbZFP1 expression profile during differentiation. This is the first genetic disruption of a developmental regulator in T. brucei. It demonstrates that programmed events in parasite development can be uncoupled at the molecular level. It also further supports the importance of CCCH proteins in key aspects of trypanosome cell function
