Understanding the rise of faculty-student coaching: an academic capitalism perspective

We examine the rise of coaching within management education to support student learning. We question the assumption that faculty-student coaching (FSC) is beneficial and propose that there may be some limitations in the use of FSC that have yet to be adequately acknowledged and discussed in the literature. In particular, we propose that there is currently insufficient evidence to conclude that coaching can produce knowledge acquisition and therefore ask why we persist in the use of FSC when we have limited evidence of its efficacy in delivering a core education outcome. We suggest that the theory of academic capitalism provides a useful, critical lens through which to view the growing trend in FSC, identifying that FSC may be utilized as a method of increasing student satisfaction, perceptions of value for money and as a useful marketing tool for business schools competing for students. However, academic capitalism may also explain the use of coaching via its ability to enhance the skills and attitudes of students, providing outcomes that are valued by students, employers and governments. We conclude our essay by providing recommendations to mitigate these proposed dangers and consequently maximise the effectiveness of coaching as a development tool in management education

Colored silicone injection in cadaver studies

The anatomy of the circulatory system is one of main subjects of human anatomy and requires much time to learn. It is vital to know the anatomical structure of the veins during surgical operations. The ideal place to learn anat­omy is an anatomy laboratory. It is easier to see vascular structures in materials injected with colored silicone.The process of filling vessels with colored, self-hardening silicone in cadavers is a 6-step process. First, the great veins in the cadaver are caught. They are irrigated. Silicone is colored with blue and red dyes and injected into the cadaver. After the hardening of the silicone in vascular system, it can easily be examined during dissections.Filling vessels with colored silicone in cadavers, allows the easy selection of arterial and venous vessels. This meth­od contributes to the better understanding of the anatomy of the circulatory system, which has many variations. This way, cadaver veins gain tonus as in living humans. Medical students can learn the anatomy of the circulato­ry system more comprehensively. The use of silicone-injected cadavers as educational materials in surgical clinics may contribute to the practical aspect of medicine

Synthesis, characterization and structural computational investigation of novel Zn(II) phthalocyanines containing peripheral anthracene moieties

New zinc(II) phthalocyanines (ZnPc-I and ZnPc-II) containing four peripheral anthracene pendant groups were synthesized by cyclotetramerization of (E)-4-(3-(4-((anthracen-9-yl-methylene)amino)phenoxy)propoxy)phthalonitrile and 4-(3-(4-((anthracen-9-ylmethyl)amino)phenoxy)propoxy)phthalonitrile. All compounds were characterized using a combination of analytical and spectroscopic techniques such 1H, 13C NMR, FT-IR, UV-vis and MS spectral data. The molecular geometry and gauge including atomic orbital (GIAO) 1H and 13C chemical shift values of the compounds in the ground state have also been calculated using B3LYP with the 6-31G(d) basis set. The chemical shift of the optimized molecular structure is compared with the experimental chemical shift values. © 2019 World Scientific Publishing Company.:2018FEBE002The numerical calculations reported in this paper were partially performed at TUBITAK ULAKBIM, High Performance and Grid Computing Center (TRUBA resources).
