Think Globally, Learn Locally: Multimedia Conferencing Between Two Schools Of Nursing, Carol Sternberger, Belinda Deal, Rebecca Fountain
Carol S Sternberger
Three nurse educators, who met at the American Nurses Association Nursing Care in Life, Death, and Disaster Conference, collaborated on a multimedia conferencing project to teach nursing students about disaster response. This case study examines two outcomes of this project. The project provided students in a disaster nursing course in Indiana an opportunity to meet faculty who helped establish and maintain a special needs shelter in Texas following hurricanes Katrina and Rita. It also demonstrated, through the use of technology, the ability of nurse faculty to share their expertise with colleagues and students residing in different geographical locations.

Interactive Learning Environment: Engaging Students Using Clickers, Carol Sternberger
Interactive Learning Environment: Engaging Students Using Clickers, Carol Sternberger
Carol S Sternberger
Educators continue to search for effective methods that will engage students in their learning. This article presents the integration of clickers while using the constructivist approach to foster critical thinking wile engaging learners in a large classroom setting. A 22-item survey was used to measure the perceived value by students to the use of clickers in engaging them in the learning process and fostering critical thinking. Clickers, also known as personal response systems, created an interactive environment, moving students beyond simple recall to application, analysis, and construction of knowledge.

Australia’s oldest human remains, found at Lake Mungo, include the world’s oldest ritual ochre burial (Mungo III) and the first recorded cremation (Mungo I). Until now, the importance of these finds has been constrained by limited chronologies and palaeoenvironmental information. Mungo III, the source of the world’s oldest human mitochondrial DNA, has been variously estimated at 30 thousand years (kyr) old, 42–45 kyr old and 62 +/- 6 kyr old. while radiocarbon estimates placed theMungo I cremation near 20–26 kyr ago. Here we report a new series of 25 optical ages showing that both burials occurred at 40 +/- 2 …

Excavations at Liang Bua, a large limestone cave on the island of Flores in eastern Indonesia, have yielded evidence for a population of tiny hominins, sufficiently distinct anatomically to be assigned to a new species, Homo floresiensis1. The finds comprise the cranial and some post-cranial remains of one individual, as well as a premolar from another individual in older deposits. Here we describe their context, implications and the remaining archaeological uncertainties. Dating by radiocarbon (14C), luminescence, uranium-series and electron spin resonance (ESR) methods indicates that H. floresiensis existed from before 38,000 years ago (kyr) until at …
Sources Of Overdispersion In A K-Rich Feldspar Sample From North-Central India: Insights From De, K Content And Irsl Age Distributions For Individual Grains, C Neudorf, Richard Roberts, Z Jacobs

Luminescence dating of individual sand-sized grains of quartz is a well-established technique in Quaternary geochronology, but the most ubiquitous mineral on the surface of the Earth—feldspar—has received much less attention at the single-grain level. In this study, we estimated single-grain equivalent dose values and infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) ages for K-rich feldspar (KF) grains from a fluvial sample underlying Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT) deposits in north-central India, and compared these ages (corrected for anomalous fading) with those obtained from individual grains of quartz from the same sample. Both minerals have broadly similar single-grain age distributions, but both are greatly overdispersed …

Even by archaeological standards, Blombos Cave is a modestly sized shelter. Yet artifacts recovered from just 13 cubic meters of deposit inside transformed our understanding of when our species developed behavioral attributes we associate with “modern” humans. From this cramped hole in a sandstone cliff on the Southern Cape coast of South Africa, Christopher Henshilwood and his colleagues unearthed evidence of symbolic expression, in the form of abstract designs (carved ochre bars) and personal ornaments (shell beads) at least 70,000 years old. That is more than 35,000 years before anything comparable emerged in Europe.

On The Reliability Of Age Estimates For Human Remains At Lake Mungo, Richard Gillespie, Richard Roberts
Richard G Roberts
The lunettes that fringe the ancient shorelines of Lake Mungo, in the Willandra Lakes region of southeastern Australia, have been a source of sustained archaeological and environmental interest since 1968, when Jim Bowler found the first of many recently exposed human burials. Most attention has been directed toward the Mungo 1 and Mungo 3 burials, excavated from the southern end of the ‘‘Walls of China’’ lunette (Bowler et al., 1970, 1972; Bowler & Thorne, 1976). More than 200 radiocarbon (14C) and thermoluminescence (TL) age estimates have since been obtained from a wide range of materials associated with human occupation and …

The article presents information on determining the features of a new species of primitive human discovered called hobbits. The ancient anatomical features of the skeleton shared many similarities with 1.8-million-year-old human remains found at Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia. So researchers anticipated it to be at least hundreds of thousands of years old. But because the skeletal remains were the only known examples of an entirely new species, we could not afford to destroy any of it by using direct dating methods that consumed any bones or teeth. Parts of the skeleton were still articulated, indicating "Hobbit" had died …
