An Open Letter to All Students: Why Read?

A few years ago Morris Bishop (1) wrote a fantastic and fascinating tale about a professor who invented a reading machine. This machine would read everything that was fed into it, making it unnecessary for anyone to go through the tedium of reading for himself. This invention seemed as sensible to the professor as the computers are that solve complicated mathematical problems for scientists. There was a slight flaw in his reasoning, of course and that was, what would anyone do with the results of the reading machine\u27s labors? Read them

Adapting community college student services to meet the needs of non-traditional women students

The purpose of this study was to determine whether non-traditional female students (25 years or older) differ significantly from traditional age students in demographic profile, awareness, and usage of services and in perception of the learning environment;The study also sought to measure any significant differences between the two colleges used for the study and their respective main and satellite campuses when compared on the same variables;A questionnaire was administered to 500 female students whose classes and programs had been randomly drawn Spring 1987. Participation was voluntary;Two hundred fifty usable surveys were returned resulting in a response rate of 64%. The average age of the respondents was 28.7 years with a range of 17-57 years;The major findings of this study indicated that traditional women students differ significantly from non-traditional women students when compared on the following variables: demographic profile, awareness and usage of services and perception of the learning environment. Traditional students in this study lived in town, were single, were employed part-time and registered full-time for college. In contrast, the non-traditional women students lived out of town, were married or divorced with children, when employed were full-time and were registered part-time for college. Relative to awareness, traditional women students knew the names of their faculty advisors more often than did non-traditional women students. More traditional women students knew about planned activities than non-traditional women students. While participation was low for both groups, significantly fewer non- traditional women students participated in activities than traditional women students. Traditional and non-traditional women also differed in their perceptions of the learning environment;There were very few significant differences between the two colleges. While there were a number of significant differences between the main and satellite campus students, those differences seemed to reflect the higher number of non-traditional students attending satellite centers. The results suggest the need for continued assessment and action to meet the needs of changing student populations

The Self Concept and Its Relation to Speech and Reading

One of the most exciting prospects in our search for excellence in the teaching of reading is emerging from the field of psychology. By now it is axiomatic that our efficiency as teachers is inextricably bound up with the psychological aspects of the individual student. All of us have been told over and over again to Pay Attention To The Individual. As a matter of fact this admonition has become so universal that it now has attained the status of being called by its initials: PATTI

Musical training in Tribal West Africa

With the possible exception of the "Bush Schools" set up by the tribes for initiation purposes or by the secret societies such as the Leopard Society, traditional instruction in Tribal West Africa was not on an institutional basis. It was based on the principle of slow absorption of musical experience and active participation rather than formal teaching. The social organization was helpful, for the child was absorbed into all activities of the tribe and these activities were generally connected with music. The child's first lessons in music were given by his mother. Immediately after birth the child was placed on his mother's back while she went about her daily tasks. In this way the child from his birth was introduced to the music of his culture. He learned what the music required in terms of both bodily movement and vocal effort. He formed through these early experiences the habit of listening to the music of his people

Popular music in West Africa

The recreational music of the West African people is more subject to change than any other type of music, for it is not ceremonially or socially bound to tribal institutions. Innovations and alterations in this music are not generally prohibited by tradition. Thus it has been changed by outside influences, individuals within the society, and integration with other societies. This music is transient: the forms and styles may persist for a short time and then disappear when new forms are introduced. Konkomba, Adidegbo, and Kolomashie, recreational music that was popular a short time ago, are today only a memory

Estudo ultraestrutural de degeneração transneuronal dos elementos axonais do núcleo paratrigeminal de ratos com desnervação sino-aórtica

OBJECTIVE: Morphological study that searched to authenticate the presence of sinoaortic baroreceptor inputs within the dorsolateral medullary nucleus under electron microscopy analysis. METHODS: After a 5-day survival period, 9 baroreceptor-denervated rats deeply anaesthetized with equithesin were transcardially perfused and their brains were histologically processed. RESULTS: The neuronal cytoarchitecture of the paratrigeminal nucleus comprehends afferent projections from other nuclei that have a distributive character regarding visceral and nociceptive functions in the cardiovascular reflex integration response. CONCLUSION: The medial portion of the nucleus receives afferent projections of the rostral ventrolateral medulla, as shown by retrograde neurotracing studies. The present results show that the medial extent of the paratrigeminal nucleus contains degenerated axoplasmic cellular components in sinoaortic deafferented rats. The number of degenerated axonal fibers was also larger in this area of the nucleus.OBJETIVO: Estudo morfológico que buscou verificar, por meio de microscopia eletrônica, a presença de aferências de receptores sino-aórticos em núcleo localizado na região dorso-lateral bulbar. MÉTODOS: Após 5 dias de sobrevida, 9 ratos com desnervação sino-aórtica anestesiados com equitesina foram submetidos à perfusão transcardíaca, e o encéfalo de cada um deles foi processado histologicamente. RESULTADOS: A citoarquitetura neuronal do núcleo paratrigeminal compreende projeções aferentes de outros núcleos que apresentam uma característica distributiva em relação às funções viscerais e nociceptivas na integração do reflexo cardiovascular. CONCLUSÃO: A porção medial do núcleo recebe projeções aferentes da região rostro-ventrolateral do troncoencefálico, confirmadas por meio de estudos com rastreadores neuronais. Os resultados indicam que a região medial do núcleo paratrigeminal contém o maior número de fibras axonais degeneradas.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein Instituto do CérebroUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) Centro de Microscopia EletrônicaUNIFESP, Centro de Microscopia EletrônicaSciEL
