Freedom of Expression in Cyberspace and the Coroner’s and Justice Act 2009

The focus of this paper is pornography. More specifically anti pornography law in the UK and more specifically still, law that prohibits pornographic images of children. For many people, this is a not a controversial area. Because they are convinced that the laws would never apply to them, then they are happy that prohibitions are on the statute book to deal with the paedophiles in the community and beyond. It may be however, that sometimes the law, particularly unquestioned and unchallenged, for whatever reason, can go too far and can become not only disreputable but counterproductive in its reasoning and its practicalities. The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 is a wide ranging piece of legislation which covers duties of coroners investigating deaths and in relation to treasure trove, as well as partial defences to murder, infanticide and assisting and encouraging suicide, genocide, conspiracy, evidence and treatment of witnesses. Amongst this rag bag of a statute s62 to 69 cover the possession of a prohibited image of a child. This act passed into law without media coverage except on the revised provocation criteria as a partial defence to murder. This is probably because much of the act is of a technical and procedural nature which would only invite comment from practitioners or the police, but s62 – 69 are of an altogether different order and will undoubtedly bring many unwise individuals within the remit of a personally disastrous offenceFinal Accepted Versio

Perceptions of Higher Education Health Science Faculty on Debriefing after Simulation Based Activities

Health science faculty striving to be academically competitive can adopt debriefing after simulation-based activities to help transition occupational therapy and physical therapy students from classroom skills to clinical competence. The purpose of this qualitative study was to discover the perceptions and experiences of health science faculty during and after their adoption of debriefing after simulation-based activities. The theory of diffusion and experiential learning theory were used as a conceptual framework. The research questions related to the perceptions and experiences of faculty from their training sessions and implementing debriefing sessions after simulation-based activities in their courses and how these experiences related to their adoption of debriefing. A university-wide e-mail was used to recruit participants. Twelve participants who met the selection criteria of current employee, received debriefing training, and utilized debriefing in their courses volunteered. Virtual interviews, memo notes, and reflexive journaling were collected, analyzed, and coded to identify themes. The faculty’s perceptions and experiences of learning were initially critical and skeptical; for trialing, faculty were nervous and awkward; for adopting and experimenting, faculty were curious to learn different techniques; and for overall perceptions, faculty felt debriefing was a valuable teaching style that increased student learning and performance. This study helps fill the gap and contributes to positive social change in health science academia by providing insights to innovative teaching strategies that promote improved clinical competence in health science students

Mike & Molly -- An Other World

This thesis explores the impact of the television show Mike & Molly on the modern debate related to fat in America. The thesis uses the work of Michel Foucault as well as disability scholars such as Lennard Davis and feminist scholars such as bell hooks to examine how a comedy show like Mike & Molly can further disenfranchise fat people in society. The thesis shows that fat makes people an Other in society, and television shows and other forms of comedy that mock those who are fat just reinforce that Other status

The effectiveness of slide versus gallery presentations on adults\u27 understanding of subject matter and artistic style in an art museum setting.

Research by educators in lifelong learning experiences is one of the most important fields in American education today. Even though adults are usually self-directed and will acquire knowledge or will learn skills to solve immediate problems, they usually need a facilitator and a variety of learning experiences to meet their needs and abilities. One of the learning experiences adults will be seeking is through art museums. Consequently, museums need to focus on how to make museum education more significant for adults by teaching them how to learn in museums. The goal of this exploratory study was to analyze any interesting variables in the effectiveness of three dissimilar treatments, using different interpretive techniques and symbol systems, on adults\u27 understanding of the subject matter, content and style of landscapes. This study was developed around a specific exhibition, A Return to Arcadia: Nineteenth Century Berkshire County Landscapes. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the three different learning experiences through different symbol systems, eighty-seven adults were divided into three groups. One group was given a straight, formal slide lecture on the exhibition. The second group participated in an informal gallery presentation in the exhibition. The methodology for this presentation was the discussion/inquiry method. The third group was given a double exposure to the exhibition. The slide lecture was presented as orientation before the participants were exposed to the landscapes in the gallery with the discussion/inquiry method. Each of the three groups was given a post slide test, open-ended questions to answer, and an interview immediately after its particular treatment. The findings from the slide post-test, open-ended questions and interviews seem to indicate that art presented in different symbol systems, environments and interpretive techniques does convey different meaning and concepts. The implication of this exploratory study is that definitive research, using the scientific and naturalistic paradigms, should be completed to investigate the significance of the findings from this study
