A Study on the Inter-communication System as Used in South Dakota Schools for the Instruction of Non-ambulatory Students from 1951-1956

he importance of education in American Society is regarded by many as a concern for a child’s total personality and not just with his absorption of specific information. Our public schools are the basic institutions through which democratic principles are maintained and improved among our people. An institution which deals with such important principles, with so much money and so many people is bound to be faced with many problems. However, one of the problems most difficult to solve has been the education of the exceptional child. Among those included as exceptional children are the blind, partially sighted, deaf, hard-of-hearing, mentally retarded, gifted, speech handicapped, orthopedically handicapped, and those with special health problems. For them some form of special educational service is required. This problem becomes even greater when it is narrowed down to the field of exceptional children who are non-ambulatory. A non-ambulatory child may be defined as one who can be educated or can continue his education but due to illness or accident is, upon the advice of his physician not permitted to leave his sick bed or his home. Educating the non-ambulatory child calls for different teaching methods, materials and equipment. This particular study will deal with non-ambulatory students and one method of their education in the South Dakota Public schools between the years 1952-1956. Despite the wide sue of the Inter-Communication System in other states, its use in South Dakota Schools has been limited. It is the purpose of this study to evaluate, by means of a questionnaire, the use of the Inter-Communication System in South Dakota for the education of such students

Trials and tribulations in locating tree farmers and sites for research and extension activities

The major aim of ACIAR project ASEM 2003/052 is to improve financial returns to existing smallholder tree farms in Leyte through a number of extension activities. In order to identify sites suitable for extension activities, visits were made to some tree farms (either registered or not registered with DENR) in Leyte. For this purpose, the initial aim was to identify at least 30 tree farms representing a range of age classes, species, soil types, elevation and climate. In addition, tree farms should have an area of at least 0.25 ha. Various difficulties were encountered in fieldwork designed to locate these tree farms. The main reason was associated with inconsistencies in the database of registered tree farms compiled by Community Environment and Natural Resources Offices (CENROs) which included information concerning tree farm location, owner, species and plantation area. Specific difficulties encountered in finding sites included nonexistence of some registered tree farms, inability to interview some farm owners because they do not reside near their tree farm, some tree farms have a low stocking against what was listed with the CENRO. Despite these difficulties, 76 tree farms were found during October to December 2004. Seventy one tree farms were GPS referenced and 37 tree farm owners were interviewed

Conversion of Invasive Grasses into Hand Made Paper for Artistic Creations

The devastating impact of invasive grasses has created serious challenges for casual workers who consistently deal with this nuisance. The paper explores the possibilities of converting invasive grasses which are prevalent at the Department of Painting and Sculpture, in the Faculty of Art, into hand made paper to enhance artistic creations. Two grasses were identified namely Goose grass (Eleusine indica) and Japanese Lawn grass (Zoysia Japonica). Basic experimental procedures such as boiling and retting were followed before achieving the desired results. Artistic creations made on the paper revealed appealing, interesting and natural results. In sum, the tensile strength, and opacity of the paper produced was standard and an artistic medium for art explorations. It is a new material that engenders new forms of contemporary sculptural and painting works and challenges traditional philosophical ideas of artists to go beyond to create new vistas in art. Keywords: Art, invasive grass; papermaking; artistic creation

Museums in Ghana: Visitor Education, Experiences and Satisfaction

This study looked at visitor experience and satisfaction on museum education in Ghana. Visiting and studying nine museums under the Ghana Museums and Monument Board (GMMB) and using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the study revealed that visitor experiences, satisfaction, and education within museums under GMMB are unsatisfactory. There are issues with teaching methods, the state of exhibits and exhibition styles and a challenge of low possibility for visitor revisit. There is the need to commit resources to strengthen museums and the introduction of activities which would serve as grounds for museum learning. A strong engagement of visitor education in a positive, socio-cultural, and conducive learning atmosphere is very much expedient. The paper recommended a framework of diversity and inclusion that would support the creation of meaningful visitor experiences and enhance museum education in Ghana. Museum di Ghana: Pendidikan, Pengalaman, dan Kepuasan Pengunjung Abstrak Studi ini melihat pengalaman dan kepuasan pengunjung terhadap pendidikan museum di Ghana. Mengunjungi dan mempelajari sembilan museum di bawah Dewan Museum dan Monumen Ghana (GMMB) dan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif, studi ini mengungkapkan bahwa pengalaman pengunjung, kepuasan dan pendidikan di dalam museum di bawah GMMB tidak memuaskan. Ada masalah dengan metode pengajaran, keadaan pameran dan gaya pameran dan tantangan kemungkinan rendah untuk kunjungan kembali pengunjung. Ada kebutuhan untuk menyediakan sumber daya untuk memperkuat museum dan pengenalan kegiatan yang akan berfungsi sebagai landasan untuk pembelajaran museum. Keterlibatan yang kuat dari pendidikan pengunjung dalam suasana belajar yang positif, sosial budaya dan kondusif sangat diperlukan. Artikel ini merekomendasikan kerangka keragaman dan inklusi yang akan mendukung terciptanya pengalaman pengunjung yang bermakna dan meningkatkan edukasi museum di Ghana

A comparative study on morphometric and meristic characters of Nemipterus japonicus (Bloch, 1791) in the coasts of India

A total of 200 threadfin bream Nemipterus japonicus was collected from Chennai in the east coast and Kochi in the west coast during January to February 2013 and studied for their morphometric and meristic characters. In total, 21 characters were analyzed out of which 3 characters namely dorsal, ventral and anal fins were not considered since they were unaltered. The findings indicate that 91% of the total variation in the data can be accounted for by three clusters. Small values of 1-R**2 ratio for the three clusters obtained indicate good clustering. The small values of p (≤0.0001) indicate that there are significant differences in the variables of Chennai and Kochi data which are shown through MANOVA. This might depict that the fish of Chennai and Kochi might be of 2 different stocks. Moreover, the study has also aided in identifying the importance of regular monitoring of stock assessment and the biology of commercially important fishes
