Rehab Exercise Prescription Sequencing For Shoulder External Rotators, Jason Brumitt, Erik Meira

Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy

Overhead athletes are susceptible to shoulder injuries. One component of a complete rehabilitation program is a systematic exercise prescription for the shoulder's external rotators. An overhead athlete should be progressed from basic rehab exercise positions to dynamic, sport-specific positions prior to returning to sport.

Expert Testimony In Capital Sentencing: Juror Responses, John H. Montgomery, J. Richard Ciccone, Stephen P. Garvey, Theodore Eisenberg

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The U.S. Supreme Court, in Furman v. Georgia (1972), held that the death penalty is constitutional only when applied on an individualized basis. The resultant changes in the laws in death penalty states fostered the involvement of psychiatric and psychologic expert witnesses at the sentencing phase of the trial, to testify on two major issues: (1) the mitigating factor of a defendant’s abnormal mental state and (2) the aggravating factor of a defendant’s potential for future violence. This study was an exploration of the responses of capital jurors to psychiatric/psychologic expert testimony during capital sentencing. The Capital Jury Project is …

"Anticipatory Self-Defense" And Other Stories, Jeanne M. Woods, James M. Donovan

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

We argue that the specious justification for the invasion of Iraq -- a war based on a pretext of anticipatory self-defense -- necessarily exacerbates the inherent tendency of war to dehumanize and humiliate the enemy. This tendency is particularly evident in the variant of anticipatory self-defense that we have denominated as "capacity preemption," a type of claim that by definition depends upon characterizations of the opponent as utterly inhuman.

The Bush Doctrine tells a timeless story of self-defense. This story is shaped by an identifiable and predictable narrative structure, one that is able to transform the morally outrageous -- an …

Workers' Compensation, H. Michael Bagley, Daniel C. Kniffen, Katherine D. Dixon

Mercer Law Review

The Chairman's Advisory Council of the State Board of Workers' Compensation again submitted significant legislation for 2005. Perhaps the most significant amendment to the Workers' Compensation Act concerns the determination of catastrophic designation. If an injury has not already been accepted as a catastrophic injury by the employer, and the authorized treating physician has released the employee to return to work with restrictions, there will be a rebuttable presumption, during a period not to exceed 130 weeks from the date of injury, that the injury is not a catastrophic injury. In making a determination as to whether an injury is …

Preparing Community-Oriented Teachers: Reflections From A Multicultural Service-Learning Standpoint, Marilynne Boyle-Baise

Diversity

The Banneker History Project (BHP) reconstructed the history of a local, segregated school. The Benjamin Banneker School served African American youth from 1913 to 1951. Oral histories from surviving alumni as well as primary documents from the times were sought. This article focuses on ways that one group of participants, 24 preservice teachers of color. experienced and interpreted the BHP. Data are reported in response to three questions: (a) Whose community does service learning serve? (b) What meanings do preservice teachers make of culturally responsive teaching? and (c) Does a community orientation count in teacher education? The author reflects on …

What Is The Ideal Consensus Conference, And How Would We Recognize It If We Saw One?, Jan R. Coe

Working Papers on Science in a Changing World

The consensus conference is a participatory mechanism that envisages ordinary citizens engaging with experts (scientists and other knowledge producers) on issues of compelling social significance. It invites ordinary citizens to bring their life experience and values to the serious consideration of a technology that may have far-reaching consequences. Three selected examples of consensus conferences are examined in order to see how they match the ideal. The paper concludes with thoughts about the adequacy of evaluation frameworks and suggest that a more dynamic model of consensus conference evaluation (based on public understanding of science models) might invite more compelling reflections about …

Central Bank Independence In A (Very) Non-Neoclassical World, Eduardo Zambrano

Economics

What if it could be possible to convince a completely non-neoclassical economist of the importance of Central Bank independence? The profession currently favors arguments in favor of Central Bank independence that are based on the seminal work by Barro and Gordon (1983 a,b), a model with naturally strong neoclassical assumptions. As a consequence of this, the argument in favor of Central Bank independence routinely given by economists is often not bought by those who question the validity of the neoclassical assumptions. In this paper I argue that Central Bank independence can be beneficial for society even when the economy is …

Job Perceptions Within Campus Law Enforcement, Duane Terpstra

Dissertations

The purpose of the study was to determine to what degree do practicing campus police officers' perceptions of their job responsibilities align with those conceptualized as ideal by scholars in the area of campus law enforcement, and if the perceptions do not align, what accounts for the lack of alignment. A survey was used to examine the relationship between the job satisfaction of campus police officers and their job responsibilities.

The research procedure consisted of a survey that was sent to police offices located in the East North Central region as defined by the Department of Justice, which consists of …

以問題導向學習教授醫學倫理之初步嘗試, 明亮 賴, 可式 趙, 興星 陳, 永榮 陳, 明哲 蔡, 伯璋 李, 其和 林, 坤崇 李

Journal of Medical Education

為測試以「問題導向學習」(PBL)教學法，教授醫學倫理之可行性，我們在醫學院四年級之同學，連續兩年間，以前半段合堂上課，後半段PBL個案討論之方式，實施倫理教學。此課程為一學分，兩週上課一次，一次兩小時，以利PBL之推行。前半的內容在於哲學思維及尊重自主、行善、不傷害及社會正義四大原則之教學，後半段則採用了安寧療護，器官移植，和SARS的個案作為討論之對象。學生基本上可以接受這樣的教學方式，他們感謝這樣的教法可以提高思考能力，對將來和病人溝通、協調的重要性也更能體會。另一方面，對PBL個案的使用上，同學希望增加討論之個案數，另外，也期待在選擇上，讓個案的情況更適合於倫理原則之運用，如有牽涉太多法條的個案較不適用等。我們覺得，即使同一個案，時代不同，需要注意隨醫學進步而有不同的倫理考量。而師資之培養，亦是遂行倫理學PBL教學極為重要之因素。

新整合課程：分年、分段、分組教改之經驗及學生評論回饋分析, 偉德 陳, 戊忠 沈, 瑞松 洪, 美都 楊, 安琪 陳, 成元 彭, 國瑞 林, 綽娟 林, 百弘 蘇, 錫金 吳, 朝添 許

Journal of Medical Education

中國醫藥大學醫學系自2001年起進行大規模的課程改革，設置教改執行委員會統籌，將傳統依學科作大堂授課的課程，改為依器官模組作混合式教學的「新整合課程」，並增加問題導向學習(problem-based learning, PBL)及臨床技能與溝通(clinical skills and communication, CSC)的課程。從2001至2005年間共有三屆377名醫學生完成臨床十二個模組，學生們對模組課程評論之問卷回收率為71.5%(54.1%~97.0%)，三屆學生總平均滿意度有逐年提昇之趨向，分別為3.76、3.81及3.98（5分很滿意；1分很不滿意）。總共2146人次之敘述性評論回饋中，正面贊同性回饋佔26.3%，批評建議性回饋佔73.7%；依課程安排、教師教學、教學資源、學業評量、其他等五項分類之敘述性建議，對新整合課程之推動有極大的助益。如文獻所述，領導團隊、合作風氣、團體成員參與、評論檢討、人力資源發展、行政配合等是成功推展教改必備的要素，本校教改的經驗，可供其他醫學院參考。

實務導向之醫學人文課程設計與初步成效評估, 淑媞 邱

Journal of Medical Education

本研究係以促進學生個人發展與專業發展為目的，設計一結合典範學習與經驗學習之醫學人文課程，並評估其可行性與初步成效。應用之教學方法包括：特別演講、小組實踐活動、小組口頭與書面報告、課堂討論、撰寫個人隨堂心得與期末報告。課程結束後以無記名結構式問卷對學生進行調查，共回收96份(80%)有效問卷；分析發現，學生對課程的規劃、學習的數量與深度、老師的教學方式與整體教學之滿意度都達90%，最獲同學肯定的是實踐活動；89.6%學生在這門課中感覺到被尊重，97.9%有看到一位以上值得自己學習的老師。在成效方面，認為這門課程對以後的學習與工作有幫助，對開拓更豐富的人生有啓發，感受到培養知識技術以外多方面能力的需要，感受到機構與醫療人員用心提昇照護品質的精神，強烈感受醫學應以人為本，能看到病人不只是一個生病的人、也是一個值得尊敬的生命，以及更加感受到醫療的社會責任的學生都達90%以上；表示有在這門課中親身實踐對生命的尊重與關壞、以及覺得對培養助人為樂的價值觀有幫助的學生都達80%，而覺得對自我實現的動機有幫助，有更大的勇氣面對未來可能遭遇的挫折與困難，以及有助於啓發自己對醫療的熱情的，則都達75%以上。本研究顯示，以學生發展需要為核心、實務導向的醫學人文課程，是可行並且高度為學生所接受的；適當的設計，能達到啓發、共嗚與感動的教學效果。但是課程的進行需要許多教師共同投入，行政上的支持不可或缺。

美國哈佛大學醫學院課程改革現況, 孟智 李, 中生 林, 家玉 陳

Journal of Medical Education

人所皆知；哈佛大學醫學院於美國醫學教育界榮執牛耳地位，非僅因為醫學生來自全國菁英，其教師們本身與他們所提供之課程能不斷精進，以及全體校友之持續回饋和社會大眾之支持，實為哈佛永保卓越之推手。2005年5月15至17日有幸參加教育部於美國波士頓哈佛大學、麻省理工學院及麻省大學舉行之「大學教學卓越國際論壇」，並於5月14日參訪哈佛大學醫學院及其主要教學醫院Brigham and Women's, Hospital，與接待之負責課程改革的醫學院副院長Professor Jane Neill詳加討論哈佛醫學院近20年之課程改革及最新發展，特為文與醫學先進及同仁們分享。

臨床醫學教育與Mini-Cex, 偉德 陳, 長海 蔡, 崑巖 黃

Journal of Medical Education

師徒制是臨床醫學教育所特有的，但國內外的調查卻皆顯示相當多數的醫學生或住院醫師，從未在主治醫師的直接觀察下從事醫療技能的操作。美國內科醫學會所發展的「迷你臨床演練評量(mini-CEX)」係由一位主治醫師直接觀察住院醫師對病人做重點式的臨床診療工作，並於結構式表單上根據醫療面談、身體檢查、人道專業、臨床判斷、諮商衛教、組織效能、及整體臨床稱職等項目給予評分，並給予即時的回饋；其特點是可在例行的門、急診或住院工作中同步進行，僅需費時20-30分鐘，可行性較高，而且係經由不同的主治醫師評量，其信效度亦較優良。希望藉著引進mini-CEX，能使台灣的臨床醫學教育達成醫學教育白皮書中所要求的目標。

Journal of Medical Education

Clinical medical education is education that is patient centered. The clinical practitioner has to make correct judgments and complete technical work as quickly as possible to ensure the best health care for every patient. Therefore, the training for clinical practice is a very important part of medical education. In this study, we observed 136 medical interns from different medical and dental departments in a medical center in Taichung. We arranged four sessions of advanced airway management class and clinical practice. To evaluate the achievement of the students, tests were administered before the sessions began and after they were completed. Teachers …

營造無菸校園：一個健康促進學校計畫, 蘭 李, 涵文 晏, 松景 高

Journal of Medical Education

本研究在雅動一個以營造無菸校園為目的之健康促進學校計畫。為評價介入效果，採用類實驗研究設計，立意選取同一行政區內的一所中學為實驗學校，另一所中學為對照學校。實驗學校的學生代表受邀參加一系列的增能活動後，自發性地組成以促進學校健康為順景之學生社團。社員們完成自我成長課程後，於校園內推出各種以「拒菸」為訴求的活動。實驗學校和對照學校的國一至國三各有一半的班級被隨機抽出，在這些被抽中的班級中，同時完成介入前（前測）和介入後（後測）之問卷調查的學生共有597人。在介入活動結束後，實驗學校的學生在菸害知識、拒菸態度、覺知不吸菸對健康的重要、菸害防制資訊與服務的可近性等，都顯著優於對照學校的學生。因此，建議可應用社區營造策略於健康促進學校計畫中。

台灣牙醫學生之同理心變化調查, 思光 陳, 曼•傑夫 雪, 達維 李, 明勳 林, 萬烘 藍

Journal of Medical Education

醫療環境中，同理心包括理解病患的經驗與感受，和對病患回應此理解之能力，以為建立互信之基礎。同理心在醫療環境中很重要，在牙醫的醫療行為也應扮演重要角色，但國內尚缺對牙醫師同理心的研究，特別是牙醫學生在養成過程中同理心的變化。本研究使用在美國之牙醫學院研究中證實其信效度的同理心心理量表問卷，以台大牙醫學系各年級共201位學生為對象，回收143份問卷分析後發現，在牙醫系六年修業過程中，一至三年級有較高之同理心，四至五年級同理心降低，六年級又降至更低。一至三年級組與六年級組有顯著差異。此隨年級增加而同理心降低趨勢與以相同問卷調查的美國牙醫系學生相似。整體而言，國內受試之牙醫系學生同理心較美國牙醫學生為低。國內之牙醫教育應重視為何牙醫學生養成中同理心會降低，也應研究為何牙醫學生學前之教育造成國內學生同理心較低。
