Reception Of English Law In Singapore: Problems And Proposed Solutions, Andrew B.L. Phang Jan 1990

Reception Of English Law In Singapore: Problems And Proposed Solutions, Andrew B.L. Phang

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The problems pertaining to the reception of English law in Singapore are both numerous and complex. The academic literature generated in the local sphere alone is relatively large. It must, however, be conceded that, from apractical point of view, there has been very little interest or at least discussion. One cannot, of course, be sure about this observation, save for the very strong indication that takes the form of the overwhelming lack of litigation in the area, thus rendering it merely (so it appears) an academic monopoly. It should, however, be pointed out that this rather phlegmatic approach in practice …

School-Based Teacher Education, Heather J. Thanos Jan 1990

School-Based Teacher Education, Heather J. Thanos

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

Pre-service teacher education can and should integrate learning about teaching through continuous school-based experience. It is in the dynamic environments of schools and classrooms that prospective teachers learn through observation, experience and reflection to make critical judgements, in real and changing circumstances, about what it means to teach. Moreover, it is through continuous school-based teachIng experience, in a variety of school contexts, that prospective teachers construct their own critical consciousness of the social purposes of schooling and not just the technical skills of teaching. An upheaval in teacher education in Australia is currently foreshadowed by the Australian Education Council (AEC) …

Literacy In Perspective., Ken Willis Jan 1990

Literacy In Perspective., Ken Willis

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

One aim of this Joint National Conference of the Australian Reading Association and the Australian Association of Teachers of English is to develop a National Literacy Policy. An essential pre-requisite to developing a policy on literacy is a definition of the term ''literacy''. This paper argues that if this definition is stated in general terms it will be of questionable value, as it will be open to multiple interpretations dependent on the context.

Serum Cholesterol In Neonates And Their Mothers. A Pilot Study, S.H. Badruddin, R. Lalani, Mohammad Khurshid, A. Molla, R. Qureshi, M.A. Khan

Department of Medicine

Reports from the Aga Khan University indicate that 58% of 400 school children studied had undesirably high serum cholesterol levels. The present study was undertaken to determine whether the high cholesterol levels are present at birth and to determine the relationship between cord blood, maternal blood cholesterol and maternal diet. Cord blood from 58 neonates and fasting venous blood form 45 mothers were analyzed for total serum cholesterol. Mothers were interviewed regarding their usual diet during pregnancy. Mean cord blood cholesterol was 56.90 mg/dl (range 26 to 123 mg/dI). Mean maternal blood cholesterol was 232.4mg/dl (range 141-382 mg/dl). Mean maternal …

Effect Of Short-Wave Diathermy On Achilles Tendon Healing In Rats., Nagwa Helal, Atef El-Ghaweet, Salah El-Nagar Jan 1990

Effect Of Short-Wave Diathermy On Achilles Tendon Healing In Rats., Nagwa Helal, Atef El-Ghaweet, Salah El-Nagar

Mansoura Medical Journal

Despite advances in surgical tech­nique, management of ruptured ten­don still presents a challenge and con­tinues to be among the most difficult rehabilitation management problem (Enwemeka, 1989 a). Unlike most soft tissues, tendons require several weeks of healing in plaster cast immo­bilization after surgical repair (Nistor, 1981). In cases of Achilles tendon rup­tures, the period of immobilization may last as long as 12 weeks, produc­ing muscle atrophy , articular cartilage atrophy, skin necrosis and tendocuta-neous adhesions {Garden et al., 1987). If healing can be quickened, then the duration of cast immobiliza­tion may be reduced to minimize these complications (Langlais et al., …

Mansoura Medical Journal

The foetal trophoblast behaves as a homograft in the maternal host, yet it survives. This referes to modulation of maternal immune system to antigeni-cally foreign foetus and placenta. Vari­ous investigations demonstrated slight depression of maternal immune sys­tem during pregnancy, but the mother does not develop specific immunologi-cal tolerance to the foetus. The de­pression was expressed by increased number of suppressor cells (Moore et al.,1983), reduced activity of natural killer (Gall, 1983). Rocklin et al. (1976) demonstrate the prescence of immunologic block­ing factor in the sera of normal preg­nant multigravida women. This factor is absent from the sera of untrans- fused …

Connective Tissue Stroma In Maliganat Bladder And Benign Denuding Cystitis, Nagwa Helal, W Abd El-Halim, Ahmed Bayomi

Mansoura Medical Journal

Non papillary insitu carcinoma of urothelium denudes unusually easily. This uncovering produces a character­istic, syndrome of intractable antibio­tic-resistant bacterial cystitis with a granular and velvet appearance on cystoscopy. the exposed stroma histo-logically demonstrate vasodilatation, oedema and leucocytic infiltration re-suiting in clinical symptoms which are the same as those of benign cystitis due to other causes (Riddle et al., 1979; Ooms et al,, 1986 and Boob et al., 1986). The aim of this work is to differen­tiate between denuded areas of car­cinoma insitu and those in benign cys­titis by examination of the superficial stroma. Also to determine if there are significant …

Vaginal And Cervical Cytology In Cervical Eversion (Cervical Erosion) And Suspicious Cervix, Nagwa Helal, Emam Amer, Mostafa El Zayat

Mansoura Medical Journal

Exfoliative cytology plays an impor­tant roie in the diagnosis of cervical malignancy, being of particular value in the detection of pre-invasive lesions of the cervix (Soostetal., 1981). The incidence of cervical intraepi-thelial neoplasia is increased among the chronically infected lacerated cer­vices with benign lesions like polypi and cervices that bleed on touch, such cervices are known as unhealthy look­ing or suspicious cervices. The frequent occurance of specific infections like viral, monilial and tri-chomonal infections are initially relat­ed to such neoplastic lesions, if cases diagnosed by cyto pat ho logical exami­nation as intraepithelial neoplasia are submitted for colposcopic examination and colposcopic …

Mansoura Medical Journal

The requirement of extra and/or in-tracellular CQ++ to stimulate prosta-glandins synthesis varies in different tissues . Poyser, (1985), elicited that prosta-gtandins synthesis and efflux from their active biosynthetic sites in almost tissues is dependent upon mobiliza­tion of Ca++ from intracellular stores. The extracellular Ca++ is essential for release of Ca++ from intracellular stores and essential for replenish these stores., Rilley & Poyser, (1987). Ernest et al.. (1983), reported that the activity of phospholipase seems to be increased by the presence of Ca++. PLA2 is extremly important in the re­lease of arachidontc acid, (which is the most abundent of prostaglandins precursors …

Radio Isotopic Study Of Kidney Function In Obstructive Jaundice, M El-Zawahry, M Gendy, M Farid, H Horia, M Abo El Hoda, Ramadan El Laithy, Tarek El Diasty

Mansoura Medical Journal

Acute renal failure after biliary tract surgery was first described by Clair-mont and VonHaberer {1911}. The cause of supression of renal function in patients with obstructive jaundice is controversial. Dawson (1964) sug­gested deficient renal perfusion. He reported significant improvement of kindey function following mannitol diu­resis. Endotoxaemia has a deleterious effect on renal function and structure. Endotoxaemia is due to absence of bile salts from the small itestine (Cavanough et at. 1970) and Mckay et al. (1966). After biliary drainage (PTD), Lygid-akis (1987) showed improvement of blood urea, serum creatinine and creattnine clearance. Thompson et ai., (1986) using isotopic renal scan …

Studies On Adriamycin Side Effects On The Renal Function And Morphology In Rats, M El.Gindy, T Gamil, S Sirag Jan 1990

Studies On Adriamycin Side Effects On The Renal Function And Morphology In Rats, M El.Gindy, T Gamil, S Sirag

Mansoura Medical Journal

Adriamycin (ADR) is an anthracy-clic antibiotic (Di Marco et af., 1969). It is considered now to be a very effec­tive and useful chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of many human solid tumors and malignant heamato-logical processes {Carter et al., 1972). However, its extensive use al doses adequate for effective antitumor thera­py is restricted by the appearance of a severe cardiotoxicity (Adamson, 1974; Bristow et al., 1978; and Nagineni, 1985). Little is known about the effect of ADR on the kidney function and its relation to any pathological changes. Our study aims to reveal this relation after 4 and 8 weeks …

Primary Splenic Lymphoma In Bilharzial Splenomegaly (Clinico-Pathological Study), M El.Gindy, T Gamil, S Sirag

Mansoura Medical Journal

Malignant lymphoma is by far the most common malignant tumour in­volving the spleen (Long and Aisenberg, 1974). Although usually affected as a part of generalised process, in some cases the spleen represents the only detect­able site of the disease. Splenic in­volvement by such disease may present as an asymptomatic splenom­egaly or result in a picture of hyper-splenism (Vardimen et a!., 1975 and Glees etal., 1977). In this work, the initial diagnosis of splenic lymphoma was made patho­logically at splenectomy in a group of bilharzial patients trying to detect the frequency of such primary splenic lym­phoma in bilharzial splenomegaly and to …

Mansoura Medical Journal

Amoebiasis is a major health prob­lem. In Egypt an incidence of 8.9-31% was reported In Dakahlia Governo-rate, Sheir et al. (1979) found that the incidence of amaebiasis was 62.5%. Patients with invasive amaebiasis suf­fer from intestinal ulceration with hea-matophagues trophozoites in their stools (Rees, 1986). Sera of patients with invasive amaebiasis or harbouring pathogenic strains of E. histolytica contain specific anti-amoebic antibodies, while those harbouring non pathogenic strains are usually serologicaliy negative (Healy, 1971; Nilson et al., 1980 and Jackson, 1985). It has been reported that the indi­rect haemagglutination (IHA) lest is considered as the most sensitive test to detect …

Fibrinolytic Activity In Rheumatoid Arthritis, W. A. Sultan, A. A. Youssef, H. R. Ghoneim

Mansoura Medical Journal

In rheumatoid arthritis, the build up of fibrin within the joint may be re­sponsible for some form of chronic in­flammation and joint manifestations in­cluding pannus formation and polymorph induced cartilage destruc­tion (Belch et al., 1984). An elevated plasma fibrinogen is a well recognised feature of active rheu­matoid arthritis (RA), and the pres­ence of large amount of fibrin in the synovial fluid and membrane is also well documented in this disease (Back Anderson & Gormsen, 1976). Defective fibrinolytic activity has been demonstrated in many inflamma­tory conditions such as: rheumatoid arthritis (Belch et al., 1984), systemic fupus erythema to sus (SUE) {Chu …

Despite advances in modern blood banking procedures and all precau­tions taken, a small but significant number ot blood transfusions are still complicated by various kinds of ad­verse reactions, some patients with transfusion dependent disease be­comes difficult to transfuse due to multiple blood group antibodies, also the haemolytic reactions are serious and potentially harmful to patients having these antibodies {Hu.h and Lichtiger, 1987). Brantley and Ramsey (1988), re­corded red cell a Ho antibodies in 9.5% and multiple antibodies in 3.7% in pol-ytransfused patients. While Walker and Hartrick (1989) estimated alloan-tibody frequencies in patients follow­ing blood transfusion, they revealed a gradual decline …

Effect Of Interaction Between Furosemide And Oxytercycline On Blood Urea And Creatinine In Rats, M.A. Abd El - Hamid

Mansoura Medical Journal

Recently Seegers et al, (1979) re­ported that concurrent administration of paracetamol with aspirin resulted in decreased gastric acidity indueed by aspirin in rats, this effect is due to stimulation of endogenous production of prostaglandins produced by para­cetamol. The work of Seegers et al. (1979) was based on the observations of Bobak et al. (1978) and Me Donald et al., (1979) that paracetamol could stimulate the prostaglindin sythetase of bovine seminal vesicles in vitro. The antagonism of paractamol to the gastric hyperacidity, may be ac­companied by an antagonism to the therapeutic efficacy of aspirin but, on the other hand, paracetamol has …

Pediatric Soft Tissue Sarcoma Clin1coe-Pidem10logic Study With Review Of Treatment And Survival, A. H El - Shahat, N. M Shams

Mansoura Medical Journal

Multiple risk factors ware found to affect the prognosis of soft tissue sar­coma. They include age, sex, histolog-ic type and grade, tumour site and size (Rooseretal., 1988). Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common pediatric soft tissue sarcoma (Young and Miller, 1975). Overall sur­vival rates have increased from less than 20 % in 1960 to as high as 70 % { Creen and Jaffe, 1978 ). Appropriate therapy is developed by integrating surgery, radiation therapy and chemo­therapy with supportive care (Ghavimi etal., 1975). The potential for chemotherapy and radiation therapy to control gross and microscopic metastatic disease decreases the need of aggressive …

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

The target group for this practicum was 17 community college students. The problem for this practicum is that many students are unable to communicate through writing due to a lack of ability to stay on task or grasp the writing process, resulting in low final grade scores for those students. The solution strategy, a unique approach entitled "Type" Writing," involved pre- and post-surveys with classroom methods and writing assignments keyed to the learning types of the students as identified using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The students who completed the program experienced improved writing skill growth as shown by pre- and …
