Satisfaction and importance of athletic department goals: The views of university presidents
Get PDFCritics' calls for reform of intercollegiate athletics have been around since the very beginning of competition between university-sponsored teams (Davenport, 1985). Researchers have been attacking these problems for years in order to find reasons why intercollegiate athletics may be out of control. Different perspectives have been put forth regarding these reform efforts: distributive justice (Hums & Chelladurai, 1994; Mahony & Pastore, 1998), stakeholder management (Putler & Wolfe, 1999), and organizational goals perspective (Chelladurai & Danylchuk, 1984; Trail, 1997; Trail & Chelladurai, 2000). This study extends the work of the organizational goals perspective in an attempt to identify and examine the views of university presidents regarding intercollegiate athletic goals. The Scale of Athletic Department Goals (SADG) (Chelladurai & Danylchuk, 1984; Trail, 1997) was used to examine the importance levels placed on certain athletic department goals by university presidents and satisfaction levels with the achievement of those goals at their institutions. The SADG consists of 38 items delineating 10 specific goals, five of which relate to performance and five that relate to student-athlete development. Overall, 154 out of 711 (21.7%) presidents from NCAA Divisions I-A, I-AA/1-AAA, and III returned usable surveys for this study.
The reliability and factorial validity of the SADG subscales were satisfactory, allowing further analysis of the data. Presidents in general were found to rate the student-athlete development goals as more important than the performance goals. They were also found to be relatively satisfied with the achievement of these goals at their institutions. The most significant differences found among the three divisions studied was on the performance goals, which Division I-A and I-AA/AAA presidents rated as much more important than did Division III presidents. In general, each of the three divisions showed important discrepancies on the student-athlete development goals, with importance means being higher than the satisfaction means. Overall, presidents' satisfaction levels were high, but they were still relatively low in comparison to the importance levels. There would then seem to be an interesting discrepancy between what presidents believe and what their minimal actions regarding reform represent
Galen and Astrology: A Mésalliance?
No full textThe author examines the question of Galen\u27s affinity with astrology, in view of Galen\u27s extended astrological discussion in the De diebus decretoriis (Critical Days). The critical passages from Galen are examined, and shown to be superficial in understanding. The author performs a lexical sounding of Galen\u27s corpus, using key terms with astrological valences drawn from the Critical Days, and assesses their absence in Galen\u27s other works. He compares Galen\u27s astrology with the astrology of Ptolemy\u27s Tetrabiblos, and evaluates their respective strategies of scientific reasoning. Three types of inference are introduced and applied to Galen\u27s astrology. Finally, he concludes that the empirical side of Galen\u27s science does not depend upon astrological methods or concepts, but that these were introduced for their rhetorical effect in presenting his new medical methodology. It is suggested that continued attention to Galen\u27s astrology has obscured the truly important empirical scientific method that Galen developed

Galen: selected works
No full textBook synopsis: Galen (AD 129-c. 210), researcher and scholar, surgeon and philosopher, logician, herbalist, and personal physician to the emperor Marcus Aurelius, was the most influential and versatile medical author of antiquity. The work of Galen is fascinating for its innovations in anatomy and in the physiology of the brain and the nervous and vascular systems, and for its remarkable synthesis of previous ideas, in particular the famous 'four-humour' theory and the Platonic philosophy of mind. Galen dominated medical theory and practice until the scientific revolution and beyond, through the medieval Schools, and through his influence on Muslim medicine. This is the first major selection of Galen's work in English. It functions as an essential introduction to his 'medical philosophy' and includes several major works never previously translated. At the same time it presents a vivid insight into medical practice and intellectual and everyday life in ancient Rome
On Theriac to Piso, Attributed to Galen
Get PDFThe treatise On Theriac to Piso has been attributed to Galen since ancient times; the
attribution is however disputed. This thesis argues that although the content and style
of the treatise is heavily influenced by Galen its author differs on a wide range of issues
from the beliefs of Galen expressed in undoubtedly authentic works on matters of
pharmacology, philosophical doctrine, the history of Pergamum and the interpretation
of Hippocrates to the extent that it should no longer be attributed to him.
The thesis also attempts to establish the best possible text from the Greek, Latin and
Arabic manuscript sources and to provide a clear English translation and a commentary
on the text focussing in particular on matters relevant to the question of the authorship
of the treatise.Wellcome Trus

Galen on Bloodletting
No full textFor more than two thousand years, almost all doctors in the West used bloodletting to treat a great variety of diseases and conditions. In an attempt to find out why they acted thus, Dr Brain has translated the three works on bloodletting by the second-century physician Galen, which provide by far the most comprehensive account of the practice in antiquity. This is the first published version of these works in a modern language. After a brief summary of Galen's medical system, the author goes on to consider the origins of Galen's ideas and methods, with particular reference to the Hippocratic writings, and the question why Galen, in common with most of the ancient physicians, believed in the efficacy of the comedy. The effects of bloodletting are considered in terms of modem physiology and medicine, and the possibility is explored that it may indeed have been beneficial in the conditions prevailing in Galen's time.</jats:p
