The Journal Of Social Theory In Art Education

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

The following papers were presented during the inaugural session of the Caucus on Social Theory and Art Education during the National Art Education Association Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, 1980. Peter Helzer and Ellen Kotz from the University of Oregon and Robert Bersson from James Madison University have compiled and edited these papers to show the diverse range of concerns of members of the Caucus. We hope these papers will stimulate contributions and dialogue that will expand in the years to come.

Statement For Social Theory Caucus, Vincent Lanier

Journal of Social Theory in Art Education

In 1959, when C. Wright Mills made the statement quoted above, the dominant pathway to insight about human behavior was psychological. This situation appears to have been as true in art education as in any other discipline. Our primary conception about what art could do for people was creativity and our pedagogy for attaining this bounty was studio production, uninterrupted by other activities. Writers such as MIlls provided us with another dimension for the study of human behavior, and specifically, behavior in art. It is not that the psychological approach was then or is now incorrect, but rather that it …

Clean Technique Intermittent Catheterization As An Alternative To The Indwelling Urethral Catheter, Christine Heuston Lessels

Theses and Dissertations

Research has documented numerous risks and complications in the use of indwelling urethral catheters.¹ In spite of this, indwelling catheters are still widely used for the management of incontinence.²

During the past four decades, studies have shown that incontinence can be managed or resolved in many patients by using intermittent catheterization. Early investigators used elaborate sterile technique and included only patients with neurogenic bladder as a result of spinal cord injury.³ Later studies showed favorable results in patients with incontinence of non-traumatic etiology--even in patients previously dependent on an indwelling urethral catheter.⁴ The early literature on …

The Effects Of Prepared Childbirth On Length Of Labor In Low-Risk Primiparae, Beth S. Mollick

Theses and Dissertations

The hypothesis that prepared low-risk primiparae would experience shorter labors than unprepared low-risk primiparae was not upheld in the findings of the present study. The findings of the present study did appear to validate the findings of several other similar studies which reported no differences in length of labor between prepared and unprepared women. Suggestions for further study of some questions raised by the present study have been made.

The Relationship Between Maternal Self-Concept And Demonstration Of Adaptive Behavior, Barbara Woodland Fleming

Theses and Dissertations

The study examined whether adaptive maternal behaviors correlated with a positive self-concept measurement. The adaptive behaviors observed were those which the literature suggested indicate a positive response to the changes of the puerperium. The study aimed at assisting the nurse in assessing the self-concept level of clients. The researcher also hoped to contribute to the continued development of nursing theories and the application of the theories to the arena of clinical practice.

Autonomic Responses Of Normals And Depressives To Stress Inducing Stimuli, Dennis Donat

Theses and Dissertations

A group of depressed (N=10) and a group of normal (N=10) were presented a series of stressor stimuli to assess several parameters of their physiological responses to these stimuli. The results indicated that the groups did not differ in their relative tendency to show maximal response specificity (consistently responding to stress with a maximum response in the same channel) or pattern stereotypy (the tendency to respond consistently in all physiological channels relative to each other). A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), of the levels of the physiological channels under conditions of rest, anticipation, and stress revealed a significant group effect. …

Vcu Today (1979-10-24)

VCU Today, 1972-1988

VCU Today, the University’s first official administrative organ, began as a somewhat irregular monthly publication but moved to a bi-weekly newspaper format in the 1980s. The newspaper changed its name to VCU Voice in 1988 and ten years later it appeared under the title UniverCity News. As it neared the end of its run as a physical newspaper, the publication became simply VCU News. These four publications were essentially the same periodical published under different titles by the Office of University Relations. VCU News appeared online for the first time in 2002.

Newer Drugs And Their Use In The Treatment Of Bronchial Asthma, Orhan Muren

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The current knowledge of pathophysiology and new medications, as well as the better use of old ones, has significantly improved the therapy and prognosis of patients with bronchial asthma. However, it should be understood that drug therapy is beneficial only when aggravating or precipitating agents have been eliminated from the patient’s environment; these include allergens, such as dust, mold, pollens and other irritants, infection, exercise, psychological disturbances, certain drugs (aspirin), and stimulation of irritant receptors in the respiratory tract. There are five major classes of drugs used in treating bronchial asthma: (1) adrenergic agents, (2) xanthines, (3) corticosteroids, (4) cromolyn …

Legal Aspects Of Sids, T. S. Ellis Iii, J. D. Harvard, D. L. Oxford

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

My remarks today focus on four legal aspects of SIDS; the first three are problems of long standing and the fourth is less well recognized, an immediate problem to some but more of a cloud on the horizon to others. At the outset, I want to emphasize that I bring you no certain solutions. Rather my more modest objective is to provide a focus and framework for further discussions.
