What I Like To Read

The analysis of character, whether it be reality or fiction, has always appealed to me. As far as my individual character is concerned, I am not quick to make friends for the simple reason that I am slow in forming opinions of a personality. Character study in literature is a valuable aid in teaching one the art (not the science) of psychology

A Skills-Focused Approach to Improving Therapist Goniometry Accuracy Using a Simulation Laboratory

Goniometric measurements are widely used in the field of occupational therapy to measure range of motion, define and describe movement, and predict the functional implications of joint limitations. These measurements are further used in documentation and as a means of justifying reimbursement. While goniometrics are a hallmark of our practice, therapist competency is rarely assessed. This study sought to evaluate whether a skill focused, simulation assisted training could lead to improvements in accuracy and consistency of goniometric measurements. Ten therapists at a single facility completed goniometric testing utilizing a simulation module to assess three joint motions (shoulder abduction, elbow flexion and neck extension). Testing was followed by extended, joint specific education prior to retesting. Estimates of consistency improved for all joint motions from pre to post training. Measurement accuracy improved in shoulder abduction and neck extension. Therapists reported improved level of comfort for specific joint measurements and for goniometry in general. Training laboratories such as the one described in this paper, can be an effective way of establishing a consistent departmental standard, assessing current competency, and providing hands-on training in a new and innovative way

Unit Plan: The Role of the Urban League of Portland in the African American Community

This unit is intended for a high school social studies classroom. It can be utilized in a variety of social studies courses as it touches upon community organizing, Oregon history, and African American history. The lessons focus on the Urban League of Portland\u27s role in uplifting the African American community, with particular attention to the issues of equality in housing and education. The unit materials provide some history and basic information about the Urban League of Portland as well. Developing student skill in text and chart analysis is emphasized in this unit. Formative assessments are embedded within the lessons. At the end of the unit, students complete the National Urban League DBQ and think critically about the influence of funding on community organizations, drawing conclusions about what happens at the local level versus the national level.https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/hist_lessonplan/1004/thumbnail.jp

Un nuevo punto de vista acerca de la volatilidad del euro

El euro fue lanzado oficialmente como la moneda nacional de los once países miembros el 4 de enero de 1999, después de décadas de debate y discusión. [La entrada de Grecia se retrasó.] Los países miembros establecieron el euro por varias razones, tales como facilidad de uso para viajar por toda Europa, la reducción de los costos de transacción y el aumento de la estabilidad en el valor de la moneda. Una moneda más estable produjo un enorme beneficio económico para los países miembros, por lo general, en forma de menor riesgo y una mayor confianza de los inversionistas. Posteriormente, otros diez países han adoptado el euro condicionalmente a la obtención de los beneficios de hacerlo. En este trabajo, los autores preguntan si, de hecho, el euro ha demostrado ser una moneda estable en comparación con otras de las más utilizadas monedas. En segundo lugar, tratan de confirmar o refutar la acusación de que el euro está impulsado por la validez del pre-euro marco alemán. Por último, los autores comparan la volatilidad del euro en su fase de transición con una fase más recient
