A Bottom-Up Definition Of Self-Sufficiency: Voices From Low-Income Jobseekers., Philip Young P. Hong, Vamadu A. Sheriff, Sandra R. Naeger

Social Work: School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Other Works

Self-sufficiency (SS) is the epitome of America’s ‘reluctant’welfare state. It is generally accepted in social welfare policycircles as a concept related to independence and financialstability. Nevertheless, SS is not a term agreed upon inpractice by policymakers, researchers, or service providersand is frequently used without a clear common definition.In this sense, the purpose of this study is to explore the extentto which the top-down definition of ‘economic’ SS as thesocial policy goal is consistent with how the clients of job training programs perceive the term. Using a groundedtheory approach, a bottom-up definition of SS was derivedfrom a focus group of low-income …

Ras Activity Levels Control The Development Of Pancreatic Diseases, Baoan Ji, Lilian Tsou, Huamin Wang, Sebastian Gaiser, David Chang, Jaroslaw Daniluk, Yan Bi, Tobias Grote, Daniel Longnecker, Craig Logsdon

Dartmouth Scholarship

Differentiated pancreatic acinar cells expressing endogenous levels of mutant K-Ras do not spontaneously develop pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, we hypothesized that acinar cells would develop PDAC in the presence of Ras activity levels mimicking those of human tumor cells.We measured Ras activity in PDAC cells from mice and humans using a Raf pull-down assay. We compared the effects of acinar cell expression of mutant K-Ras at endogenous and elevated levels on Ras activity and on the development of PDAC.

Protestant Observers Of Vatican Ii: A Bibliography, Peter Gavin Ferriby

Presidential Seminar on the Catholic Intellectual Tradition

This bibliography is a working draft, insofar as no authoritative bibliography of observers (whether as formal periti or informally invited scholars) exists at this time.

An additional difficulty is conclusively to identify particular writers as Protestant Christians. For example, newspaper and other media reporters might have been formally Protestant (whether closely affiliated or distantly related), but did not identify their writings or observations as relevant to or influenced by any Protestant point of view. As a result, this bibliography lists entries whose authors in some sense identified themselves as Protestants, or representing the viewpoints of Protestant churches and organizations.

應用遠距學習於問題導向教學模式之文獻回顧, 恩琦 邱, 璦琬 潘

Journal of Medical Education

目的：在電腦科技發展迅速的時代，傳統問題導向教學模式開始與網路科技結合。本文應用系統性文獻搜尋方式，探討醫學相關領域的專業教育中，應用遠距教學模式於Problem-based learning (PBL)的學習方式與傳統PBL學習方式的差異。研究方法：本研究使用系統性文獻搜尋方式回顧文獻，於Medline, CINAHL及PubMed三個資料庫中以problem-based learning, online/distance learning, health education/ medical education之關鍵字及其組合搜尋2000-2009年之全文期刊文獻。經篩選後，共選擇11篇文獻進行探討分析。結果：本文歸納整理出六個議題：傳統PBL進行方式和限制、遠距PBL的優點、遠距PBL的缺點、遠距PBL進行方式、指導者的角色、以及遠距PBL注意事項。結論：本研究結果顯示，遠距PBL可有效發展學生的領導能力、促進學習、增進考試表現、以及對學習內容有較深度的討論，但要注意電腦技術層面的障礙。

The Effectiveness Of Computer-Assisted Instruction In Developmental Mathematics, Kathy Dye Spradlin

Doctoral Dissertations and Projects

Colleges and universities are trying alternative instructional approaches to improve the teaching of developmental mathematics with the goal of increasing the number of students who have the skills and knowledge required for college-level math courses and for the twenty-first century workforce. Computers and the internet make possible new methods of delivering instruction so students will have choices of when, where, and how they learn math. The purpose of this study was to compare academic performance of students enrolled in a developmental mathematics course using traditional instruction, traditional instruction supplemented with computer-assisted instruction, and online distance learning. In addition, gender differences …
