Alternative spring break : a manual to assist in the planning and implementation of a service-learning trip
No full textA template was developed to guide the planning, implementation and evaluation of a service-learning alternative spring break trip. Discussion was based upon a trip designed by the author and implemented in March 2006. Participants were undergraduate students at Ball State University. The project provided background information on service-learning and current alternative breaks at colleges and universities across the United States. A compilation of components necessary to plan a trip was included. Additionally, recommendations were prepared for future coordinators.Thesis (M.A.)Department of Educational Studie
Influence of radiographic techniques on the measurement of femoral anteversion angles and a conformation score of pelvic limbs in L abrador retrievers
No full textObjective
To determine repeatability of and correlation between 2 radiographic measurements of femoral anteversion angles (FAA) and to determine their influence on a score derived from tibial plateau angle (TPA) and FAA to predict the risk of cranial cruciate ligament disease (CCLD).
Study Design
Prospective clinical study.
Animals
Forty-eight Labrador retrievers with or without CCLD.
Methods
FAA and CCLD scores were calculated for each limb from extended pelvic radiographs (t-FAA) or angled (a-FAA) projections of the femur by 3 investigators. One investigator repeated measurements twice. Data were analyzed for repeatability, correlation between t-FAA and a-FAA, and their influence on CCLD scores.
Results
FAA correlated most strongly with the distance between the femoral head and the femoral axis on mediolateral radiographs, a measurement with excellent repeatability. t-FAA and a-FAA correlated with each other (r > 0.79, P < .0001), although t-FAA were about 1° greater than a-FAA (P = .01). Intrainvestigator and interinvestigator repeatability of the CCLD score was fair when derived from t-FAA and good to excellent when derived from a-FAA. CCLD scores differed between radiographic techniques but led to different predictions in only 9 (10%) limbs, all with lower TPA and CCLD scores than the rest of the population.
Conclusion
a-FAA correlated strongly with t-FAA and improved the repeatability of CCLD scores within and between investigators.
Clinical significance
A craniocaudal angled beam projection of the femur is a suitable alternative to a ventrodorsal pelvic radiograph when measuring FAA and may improve the repeatability and positive predictive value of CCLD scores
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'

The type of research used by the author is an empirical legal research, by carrying out research in the area of research to observe directly the implementation of the Regulation. From the results of this research, the author concluded that the implementation of Article 15 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 10 of 2009 concerning Tourism in Bangkalan Regency was very bad. It could be proven from 20 objects of tourism destination in Bangkalan Regency, only 3 objects have been recorded and have business permit. Some obstacles faced by DPMPTSP and Department of Culture and Tourism of Bangkalan Regency in order to implement Article 15 Paragraph (1) of Law Number 10 of 2009, namely: a) lack of participation from business owner to register his/her tourism object; and b) lack of knowledge from business owner related to Online Single Submission (OSS) system. Solutions to overcome those obstacles namely doing preventive actions, such as conducting socialization, giving explanation concerning regulations as well as repressive actions, including enacting the implementation of Article 67 Paragraph (1) of Local Regulation of Bangkalan Regency Number 7 Year 2017 concerning Management of Tourism. Keywords: Implementation, permit, tourism, business tourism
Journal Articles Authored by Forensic Pathologists Board Certified during the Years 1985-2010
No full text Using a list provided by the American Board of Pathology, the names of all board certified forensic pathologists (BCFPs) were entered into an electronic database, along with the year in which each was certified. The names of BCFPs were searched in PubMed/Medline against authors of journal articles. We limited study to 836 BCFPs who were certified in the years 1985 through 2010. We documented that at least 33% of BCFPs had been published authors, and that up to 66% could have been published authors. The total number of articles found and verified by authors was 2128. The average number of articles was 7.7 per published BCFP. Eleven journals accounted for 52% of the articles, and the remaining 48% of articles were published in 415 other journals of diverse subject scope. BCFPs were the lead author or solo author on 986 (45%) of the articles. The majority of articles were case reports. Two hundred and sixty-one articles (12%) included a categorization of “Research Support” which means that at least one author was supported with funds from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) or other government sources such as the Public Health Service. For this group of 261 articles with research support, a BCFP was the lead author, last author, or solo author on 80 (31%) of them. Using extrapolations based on our data, we estimate that BCFPs since 1959 have collectively published as many as 164 journal articles per year and possibly more than 8000 articles over the past 50 years. </jats:p
