A study of the impact of time lapse on language retention in beginning level Spanish classes
No full textPlan BA pre-test was given to all Spanish 2 students at Menomonie High School during the 1999-2000 school year to determine if there was a relationship between retention of basic Spanish language skills and information learned in a Spanish 1 course and the time lapse between the Spanish 1 and Spanish 2 courses. After a review of the Spanish 1 curriculum at Menomonie High School a 50 point true/false and multiple choice pre-test was developed by the researcher to cover basic skills and information that students should have acquired in the Spanish 1 course. At the same time as the assessment was given, students were also asked to rate their level of anxiety at the beginning of the Spanish 2 course. Students’ final percentage grades from their Spanish 1 course were used as the baseline data for this study. The grades were obtained from the teachers of the Spanish 1 classes and recorded by the researcher. The scores from the Spanish 2 pre-test were converted into percentages and compared with the baseline data to find out if there was a retention loss and if the retention loss was greater for students with a longer time lapse. All students’ final grades in the Spanish 2 class were also recorded to determine if there was a significant difference for students with a longer time lapse. The findings of this study indicate that there is a significant difference in the retention of basic skills and information among the four groups under study based on the time lapse between instruction (Group 1, 0 months; Group 2, 3 months; Group 3, 8 months; Group 4, 12 months). There was no significant difference among the four groups in their final Spanish 2 grades. Students with a longer time lapse between levels of instruction showed higher levels of anxiety than students with little or no time lapse. The results of this study can be used by teachers and administrators to determine alternative learning methods and environments for students who are affected by a long time lapse in their foreign language education. Based on the results of this study, teachers and administrators may also want to consider alternative scheduling to accommodate foreign language learning

The invisible artist: Arrangers in popular music (1950-2000): Their contribution and techniques
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel University.This thesis is based on the research conducted by the author for the series,
Richard Niles' History of Pop Arranging, seven thirty-minute documentary
programmes for BBC Radio 2, researched, written and presented by the author and
broadcast in 2003. It also draws on interviews conducted by the author (and other
research) between 2002 and 2007 both for the radio series and for this thesis and on
the author's experience as a professional arranger in popular music working with
many of the genre's significant recording artists including Paul McCartney, Ray
Charles, Cher, Tina Turner, Westlife, Tears For Fears, Dusty Springfield, James
Brown, Pet Shop Boys, Kylie Minogue and producers including Trevor Hom, Steve
Lipson, Steve Mac and Steve Anderson.
It will be argued that the role of the arranger in popular music has often been
undervalued and that during a critical period of popular music history (1950-2000)
arrangers played a significant part in the evolution of musical content. This thesis is,
to the best of the author's knowledge, the first time (apart from the above mentioned
documentary) the subject has ever been examined. The arranger is "invisible" because musical arrangers are often un-credited on
record liner notes or in books or articles concerning popular music. A considerable
amount of research has been necessary to determine who wrote many of the
arrangements considered herein. Motown's Berry Gordy purposely kept the names of
musicians and arrangers off the records because he feared others might 'poach' the
trademark 'Motown Sound'. Other record labels considered the job of the arranger to
be reminiscent of an earlier era, diluting the Rock 'n' Roll image of emotion and
spontanaeity they wished to promote. Some producers and recording artists disliked
sharing credit for their work. Motown arranger David Van dePitte told the author that
arranging was "thankless and anonymous - a very service-oriented profession where
others often take credit for what you've done." Arranging has therefore remained an
intrinsically unseen art created by 'invisible' artists. By analyzing many recordings,
revealing the techniques and concepts they have used in their work to create popular
records, arrangers and their art will be made more 'visible'
LASER-INDUCED FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY OF THE INERT GAS MOLECULAR RADICAL VAN DER WAALS COMPLEXES (X = He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe)

Oriental enlightenment: the problematic military experiences and cultural claims of Count Maurice Auguste comte de Benyowsky in Formosa during 1771
No full textMaurice Benyowsky's colourful version of his global adventures during the heady, expansive days of the late-Enlightenment remains still as an historical account, and is perhaps destined for reification at a time of romantic, postmodernist cultural affirmation. Yet this paper argues that within it there lies a virile and possibly dangerous Orientalism, one at least partially based upon a lurid, opportunistic and self-seeking fabrication of his visit to Taiwan (Formosa) in the year 1771. This paper examines the veracity, provenance and historiography of the Benyowsky account of late-eighteenth century Formosa, both as an exercise in one facet of Taiwanese history and as some exploration of the origin and maintenance of European views of the "other" and of the "orient" as they were transforming during the late-Enlightenment period. Furthermore a principal task is to provide an historiographical analysis that illustrates both the initial reasons for the acceptance of Benyowsky's lurid account as well as the wider contexts of its long life as a seemingly reliable and authentic tale. Questions remain as to the cultural contexts of any general acceptance of otherwise doubtful stories, experiments, claims and "adventures". Here there is little doubt that the original Memoirs were given greater credence by Benyowsky's talent in self-fashioning his character and status as those of a reliable gentleman

Additionally, a spectrum for the transition has been recorded and globally fit with the previously reported transition. The state of exhibits a reduced lifetime, correspondingly broader linewidths and reduced intensity pointing to the existence of a nearby non-radiative perturbing state postulated in earlier This non-radiative state is thought to be responsible for significant Jahn-Teller-like interactions that alter the spectrum of the transition compared to the other bands reported here. Results of the fit will be discussed for both species
An Autoethnographic Exploration of Hypnotherapeutic Experience
No full textFamily therapy researchers have conducted a variety of studies of brief approaches to family therapy (e.g., MRI, Solution Focused, Strategic). However, despite the fact that Milton Erickson’s approach to hypnosis and psychotherapy was a significant influence on these models, few family therapy researchers have studied Ericksonian hypnosis directly. Hypnosis is a way of communicating with the body to elicit psychological and physiological responses that are not organized by conscious awareness (Erickson, 1980i). Hypnosis becomes hypnotherapy when the context and the participants are oriented toward therapeutic change (Flemons, 2002). Employing the methodology of autoethnography (Ellis & Bochner, 2016) and using Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) (Kagan, Krathwohl, & Miller, 1963) to conduct process research, the author explored the experience and understanding of both an Erickson-inspired hypnotherapist, Dr. Eric Greenleaf, and a client (herself) during a hypnotherapy session focused on addressing the issue of anxiety. Informed by what Bruner (1986) called a narrative mode of constructing the world, the author presents a narrative account of what transpired. Her analysis distinguishes six hypnotic holons—parts of a whole that are themselves wholes (Koestler, 1967)—that illuminate the co-creative nature of the hypnotherapeutic experience. Each holon indicates a particular kind of invitation extended by the hypnotherapist, the client’s response to that invitation, and what comes out of the interaction. The author also illuminates the particular qualities that the hypnotherapist brought to the interaction and discusses implications of the study for clinicians and researchers
