醫學系學生之死亡概念, 栩隆 洪, 秉穎 鍾, 利中 張

Journal of Medical Education

本研究旨在了解醫學系學生的死亡相關概念，以供往後醫學教育中死亡學課程的設計與國內量表研發之參考。本研究以個人建構理論為基礎，採用三角比較法，對36名分層隨機抽樣產生的研究對象進行半結構式的訪談。蒐集到的資料，應用以「個人建構」為基礎的編碼系統來分析醫學系學生的死亡概念。結果發現這群醫學系學生的死亡建構面向分布情形，與含有醫學院其他科系學生的死亡建構分佈情形及排序情形不同。後者最普遍的概念是在死後生命的存在感，而前者則強調自由選擇程度，顯示他們在面對死亡時，希望能擁有較多的控制權，並企圖扮演「終極拯救者」的決心與自信來面對死亡的威脅。因此應妥善規劃醫學生的死亡教育，讓未來醫師擁有正確的知能，不僅使自己能適切地因應死亡的焦慮，也有能力協助處理臨終病人及家屬們的情緒，在全人的照顧上有更好的成效。

四種不同入學管道醫學生在接受醫學課程整合教育時學習成績之比較, 正芳 顏, 宏文 劉, 克明 劉, 春生 賴, 俊雄 黃, 尹亭 黃

Journal of Medical Education

本研究的目的在於了解：經大學聯招、申請和推薦甄試、僑生身分入學的醫學系三年級（以下簡稱醫三）和學士後醫學系一年級（以下簡稱後醫一）等四種不同管道入學的醫學生，在接受第一學期基礎臨床整合教育時的學業表現是否有所差異，以供未來持續改革醫學教育入學制度之參考。研究對象是高雄醫學大學醫學院九十四學年度接受基礎和臨床課程整合教育的醫三和後醫一醫學生，經排除特殊身分者的大學聯招入學、申請和推薦甄試入學、僑生和後醫系醫學生，分析四組醫學生在第一學期基礎臨床整合教育四個學習單元的成績表現，以檢定是否因入學管道不同而有所差異。研究結果顯示：在四個學習單元的學業成績上，後醫系醫學生和醫學系申請推甄入學生的成績表現並未達顯著差異，但此兩組醫學生有兩個學習單元的成績表現比大學聯招入學生顯著較佳、另兩個單元表現則無顯著差異，而所有單元表現皆比僑生較佳。由第一學期基礎臨床整合教育的成績表現來看，學士後醫學系和醫學系申請推甄入學的醫學生在學習評量成績上有較佳的表現，而僑生的學習需要進一步的協助。

Process Of Compassion: Pastoral Care During School Closings, Patrick J. Mcdevitt, Anthony J. Dosen, Frances Ryan

Journal of Catholic Education

Catholic education in the United States continues to face mounting economic challenges. Dioceses are being challenged with the painful reality of closing Catholic schools that have long served communities. These school closings leave behind wounded and disillusioned professionals. The Process of Compassion Workshop was developed to provide personal and professional help for healing so that teachers could move forward in their careers. This article provides a theoretical framework with action research to care for the dedicated people school closings leave behind.

Acknowledging The “I” In Multicultural Education, Osman Ozturgut

Essays in Education

Banks (2001) claims for students to become successful in a diverse world, they need to have the ability to communicate and negotiate among diverse cultures. Some argue that when the cultural diversity and global tolerance are promoted within multicultural education, traditional elitism and its shortcomings would be overcome (Schugurensky, 2002). Others argue that multicultural education hinders the assimilation efforts and creating a divisive society (Bernstein, 1994).

There are many views on the benefits or shortcomings of multiculturalization of education. The question is not whether a multicultural education should be adopted but it is rather what we understand from multicultural education …

Labor Supply With Social Interactions: Econometric Estimates And Their Tax Policy Implications, Andrew Grodner, Thomas J. Kniesner

Center for Policy Research

Our research fleshes out econometric details of examining possible social interactions in labor supply. We look for a response of a person's hours worked to hours worked in the labor market reference group, which includes those with similar age, family structure, and location. We identify endogenous spillovers by instrumenting average hours worked in the reference group with hours worked in neighboring reference groups. Estimates of the canonical labor supply model indicate positive economically important spillovers for adult men. The estimated total wage elasticity of labor supply is 0.22, where 0.08 is the exogenous wage change effect and 0.14 is the …

Perception’S Of Preservice Teachers ’Toward Children’S Literature, Khaled Alazzi

Essays in Education

Children’s literature is used across the curriculum in elementary classrooms today. How is this literature viewed by preservice teachers and how will their viewpoints affect their use of literature with students? The purpose of this study was to describe preservice teachers’ written responses to children’s literature with geometric content. Six related, but distinct themes emerged after multiple readings of the responses; these themes depict preservice teachers who are: (1) making personal connections with literature, (2) reading for children, (3) being the teachers, (4) looking for the math, (5) finding instructional ideas, and (6) focusing on the morals.

Assessment For Learning: Assessment In Interaction, Ian Clark

Essays in Education

Wherever there is challenge in our classrooms there exists the opportunity for better formative assessment. It is beyond time that policy reflected the need for cognitive and affective challenges to be constructive, enjoyable and collaborative. In so doing practitioners are able to co-construct a learning environment which lends positive support to the self-esteem among our young learners in elementary and high schools. This article discusses a remedy to a deepening crisis in our classrooms. That remedy has become known as Assessment for Learning (AfL). AfL is a crucial aspect of classroom practice, the sub-routines of which focus on: the quality …

Vision That Needs To Be Technically Managed, Chi Hong Nguyen

Essays in Education

This essay aims to conceptualize the differences and complementariness of leadership and management in the discourses of change management in organizations that can be best applied to educational leadership. The discrepancies and co-existent links between the two are discussed in terms of leaders and managers’ personal traits, their interaction patterns towards power influence, their strategies for dealing with change, the results at workplace, and their followers’ perceptions towards them.

An Uncertain Position: Examining The Status Of Teaching As A Profession, Kevin C. Robb

Essays in Education

The purpose of this paper is to identify the characteristics of a full profession, to review how many and which characteristics cannot be ascribed to teaching, and how this situation has come to be. The affect of gender and social class on the perception of teaching as a profession is discussed. Although, teaching still has an ambiguous status as a profession, discussing it will allow people to continue to talk, think and write about this issue. Teaching will probably never be considered a full profession because it does not involve all the characteristics of a profession.

Evaluation Of Program Outcomes: Assessment In Children, Cheryl M. Romano

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

In an age of increased concern for accountability and the review of services, administrators of health programs should be able to present their clinics effectiveness, and demonstrate their excellent service to the community, along with providing evidence for the continued need of such clinics. Outcome evaluation plays an integral part in providing this information, and is intended to provide information concerning the effectiveness of a particular program, thus allowing for modification, and even better outcomes.

This project addressed pre and post functioning in children referred for academic and/or behavioral difficulties, in a university of health sciences-based clinic. The aim was …

Effects Of War Stressors And Life Events On Gulf War Veterans With Cfs Symptoms, Kieran K. Dhillon

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The present study examines the association of life stressors and the period when they occur, with the development of CFS symptoms in Gulf War veterans. From data collected from Gulf War Health Registry veterans, 113 met CFS criteria and 441 were controls. After hierarchical linear analysis, negative life stressors: wounded, traumatic war experience, frequent battle experiences, demotion, and unable to work within 2 years of returning from the Gulf predicted CFS symptoms; and positive life stressors of buying a house more than 2 years of returning was protective against CFS symptoms (all significant at p < .05). The findings are consistent with psycho social etiological hypotheses for CFS and are useful in developing programs for veterans returning from war.

Religious Coping Among People Of Individuals With Hiv/Aids, Boitumelo Rakwena

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This study examined how religion affects one’s psychological health as he/she deals with life crisis. Religious coping strategies explained variance above and beyond demographics variables. Although religious and spiritual beliefs and practices have been frequently associated with greater psychological well-being among the illness populations, religious coping remains rather unexplored. Further, studies on the role of religious coping on caregivers of the chronically ill are even less available. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore religious coping in parents/caregivers who care for teens/adults with HIV/AIDS. This study proposed to examine this facet of illness in a community health center …

Mmpi-2 Predictors Of Postpartum Depression Symptom-Severity, Brandon Andrew Yakush

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The following research study measured possible psychological and psychosocial predictors of postpartum depression (PPD) with specific scales from the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, 2^nd Edition (MMPI-2). This personality instrument was administered to women during their third trimester of pregnancy. In the postpartum period the same subjects were assessed by a specific measure of postpartum depression, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Scores on the EPDS were subsequently correlated to specific MMPI-2 scales to determine the personality and symptom predictors of the onset of postpartum depression symptoms and to validate the MMPI-2 as a predictor of PPD symptom-severity.

Irreparable Benefits, Douglas Gary Lichtman

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

The conventional approach to preliminary relief focuses on irreparable harm but neglects entirely irreparable benefits. That is hard to understand. Errant irreversible harms are important because they distort incentives and have lasting distributional consequences. But the same is true of errant irreversible gains. When a preliminary injunction wrongly issues, then, there are actually two distinct errors to count: the irreparable harm wrongly imposed on the nonmoving party, and the irreparable benefit wrongly enjoyed by the moving party. Similarly, when a preliminary injunction is wrongly denied, there are again two errors, not one: the irreparable harm wrongly imposed on the moving …

The Credible Executive, Eric A. Posner, Adrian Vermeule

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Legal and constitutional theory has focused chiefly on the risk that voters and legislators will trust an ill-motivated executive. This paper addresses the risk that voters and legislators will fail to trust a well-motivated executive. Absent some credible signal of benign motivations, voters will be unable to distinguish good from bad executives and will thus withhold discretion that they would have preferred to grant, making all concerned worse off. We suggest several mechanisms with which a well-motivated executive can credibly signal his type, including independent commissions within the executive branch; bipartisanship in appointments to the executive branch, or more broadly …

Promoting Compliance Of Private Security And Military Companies With International Humanitarian Law, Benjamin Perrin

All Faculty Publications

Private security and military companies have become a ubiquitous part of modern armed conflict and post-conflict reconstruction. Their diverse clients include governments in the developed and developing world alike, non-state belligerents, international corporations, non-governmental organizations, the United Nations, and private individuals. The implications of this proliferation of private security and military companies for international humanitarian law and human rights are only beginning to be appreciated, as potential violations and misconduct by their employees have come to light in Iraq and Afghanistan. The author critically examines the theoretical risks posed by private military and security company activity with respect to violations …
