UNIT OF STUDY INFORMATION.

UNIT OF STUDY CODE AND TITLE.

ANAT 3008. Musculoskeletal Anatomy.

UNIT OF STUDY DESCRIPTION AND GOALS.

The unit of study is available in semester two of year three in medical science and science degrees and is worth six credit points.

The unit provides an opportunity for students to study the macroscopic topographical and systems anatomy of the limbs. The curriculum varies from year to year and other regions and topics are introduced. Emphasis is placed upon the identification and description of structures, the correlation of structure with function and the use of anatomical knowledge in understanding or solving problems in other disciplines. Particular emphasis is given to the innervation of the limbs. The unit also aims to develop the general skills of observation, description, drawing, writing and discussion as they apply to biological structures.

The unit builds upon or compliments other macroscopic anatomy units offered by the Department and provides for the development of skills, which could be relevant to a later honours project or higher degree in the field of structural biology.

LEARNING COMMITMENTS AND CONTACT.

Two one hour lectures per week. Two two hour practical classes per week.

LEARNING SITUATIONS.

The lecture series aims to give students an overview of the various weekly topics as well as emphasising some general and key learning issues. A set of lecture notes and a list of specific lecture objectives will be made available on the unit of study website.

The practical classes involve a set of self directed practical activities in an open plan setting. Students are encouraged to work in small groups to identify structures and to discuss among themselves the particular significance of the structures identified. The ability to follow the practical class notes and to use an atlas or atlas material and record information is an important part of the group activities. Students are also encouraged to plan the subsequent weeks activities towards the end of the class or by meeting outside the class time. These class activities form the basis of the practical examination. Tutors will be available to clarify and discuss matters relating to the identification of structures, their topographical relations and significance and to discuss matters covered in lectures. However it should be appreciated that not all tutors will be familiar with, or have expertise in, some of the specialised areas of interest raised in the lectures. A set of practical class notes and objectives are available to allow for preparation for the class and to guide the activities in the class. However students are free to pursue additional learning activities depending on the needs and wishes of the group. This includes revision, working ahead and discussing the more theoretical aspects of the subject.

The material presented in lectures and the practical classes is a guide to passing the unit of study however to obtain higher grades students are expected to bring further information and ideas to the subject from their own reading and discussion.

Formative practical and theory examinations are included in the program. These formative examinations are similar in form to the final summative assessments and offer opportunities for students to receive feedback on their learning progress and to prepare for summative examinations.

LEARNING PREPARATION.

It is assumed that students have a second year unit of macroscopic anatomy or a unit containing some macroscopic anatomy.

Students are also encouraged to read textbook material in advance of the weekly program and to prepare for practical classes by identifying structures in an atlas.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES.

Students who successfully complete the unit should be able to identify, describe and discuss the major structures of the limbs and back as set out in the lecture objectives and the practical class objectives.

EVALUATION.

The course is evaluated using informal student comments, brief questionnaires and the standard evaluation formats available at the University from the Institute of Teaching and Learning.

In recent responses students have expressed concern about the workload, receiving feedback on their learning and the acquiring of generic learning skills. In response to this the workload has been reduced particularly that related to the practical classes. Feedback in regards to lecture material and preparation for the theory assessment has been incorporated into the lectures. The practice practical examinations will be continued as in the past. A discussion regarding generic learning skills particularly related to the subject will be included in the introductory lecture.

ASSESMENT*.

Formative assessments will be provided throughout the in semester period. Single best answer questions and short essay questions in lectures and two formative practical examinations. A discussion regarding marking criteria will also be included particularly for the short essay.

For the summative assessments the Practical Examination will contribute 30%, and the Theory Examination 70% to the final mark for the Unit of Study.

Final marks may be scaled to meet Faculty guidelines for merit grades.

The summative practical examination will consist of about 10 to 12 questions each with 4 identifications. Two minutes will be allowed per question. The identifications will be taken from the structures identified in the practical classes using the materials used in the practical classes. There will be no associated theory questions. No handling of the specimens. No negative marking. Allow about 90 minutes for the examination and waiting time.

The summative theory examination is based on the lecture objectives. The paper consists of 40 to 50 single best answer questions, 2 to 3 per lecture, worth 50% of the total mark, no negative marking, and one short essay question worth 20% of the total mark. A choice of question topics is offered for the short essay. The duration of the theory examination is 90 minutes.

...how, then, these thought processes can be taught to novices to improve their learning (Hatano & Inagaki, 1986).  In How People Learn, the National Academy of Sciences’ synthesis of decades of research on the science of learning, one of the three key findings of this work is the effectiveness of a “‘metacognitive’ approach to instruction” (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000, p. 18). Metacognitive practices increase students’ abilities to transfer or adapt their learning to new contexts and tasks (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, p. 12; Palincsar & Brown, 1984; Scardamalia et al., 1984; Schoenfeld, 1983, 1985, 1991).  They do this by gaining a level of awareness above the subject matter: they also think about the tasks and contexts of different learning situations and themselves as learners in these different contexts.  When Pintrich (2002) asserts that “Students who know about the different kinds of strategies for learning, thinking, and problem solving will be more likely to use them” (p. 222), notice the students must “know about” these strategies, not just practice them.  As Zohar and David (2009) explain, there must be a “conscious meta-strategic level of H[igher] O[rder] T[hinking]” (p. 179)....

Abstract (summary) In light of the increasing importance of strategic alliances in shaping competition, this study explored whether the social network of small firm executives can be leveraged to facilitate the establishment of interfirm alliances. Analyses are based on a mail survey of 149 small manufacturing firms in the northeast US. Results indicate that the social networks of senior executives account for 11%-22% of the variance in the degree to which firms engage in alliances, depending on the type of alliance. Results also show that the number of interfirm alliances is positively related to several networking properties (propensity to network, strength of ties, and network prestige). Findings are discussed in the context of network theory, social embeddedness, and the overall implications for management researchers and practitioners.

...contact jcera@law.berkeley.edu. Gill: Corporate Governance as Social Responsibility: A Research Agenda Corporate Governance as Social Responsibility: A Research Agenda By Amiram Gill* In the post-Enron years, corporate governance has shifted from its traditional focus on agency conflicts to address issues of ethics, accountability, transparency,and disclosure. Moreover, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has increasinglyfocused on corporate governance as a vehicle for incorporating social and environmental concerns into the business decision-making process, benefiting not only financial investors but also employees, consumers, and communities. Currently, corporate governance is being linked more and more with business practices and public policies that are stakeholder-friendly. This Article examines these developments and their impact on the formulation of a transnationalbody of legal norms by proceeding in three stages. First,the Article explores the recent transformations in the regulation of corporate governance and CSR and the shifts these two fields have experienced.

Media and Terrorism

...News Media and Terrorism: Changing Relationship, Changing Definitions Zohar Kampf Department of Communication Hebrew University In this article I discuss two aspects that are important for understanding the relationship between Western news media and terrorism: the changing representation of terrorists and terrorist attacks in the media, and with it, the changing definition of terrorism. By calling attention to evolving news media practices in times of terrorism, I argue that advanced communication technologies and the emergence of global media ecology since the 1990s has made terrorism more visible in both national and international media landscapes. One consequence is that the more the news media expose terrorism to global audiences via the "front-door", the more controversial the use of the terms terrorism and terrorist become in social, political, and scholarly discourse. The paper addresses the new journalistic practices and their consequences as documented in previous studies on media reporting of terrorism in several national contexts, mostly the UK, the US and Israel. Terrorism, media, and the nation (or, reading about terrorists in the next day's newspaper) Classic definitions of terrorism evolved in a world in which a modernist view reigned supreme. Despite constant debates about how to define the term (Schmid 1983; Schlesinger 1981; Gibbs 1989; Nacos 2007), one conventional definition, at least under U.S. law, characterizing a nationalistic perception...

In Malaysia, most Ibans are located in Sarawak, a small portion in Sabah and some in west Malaysia. They were formerly known during the colonial period by the British as Sea Dayaks. Ibans were renowned for practising headhunting and tribal/territorial expansion and had a fearsome reputation as a strong and successful warring tribe in ancient times. Since the arrival of Europeans and the subsequent colonisation of the area, headhunting gradually faded out of practice although many tribal customs, practices and language continue. The Iban population is concentrated in Sarawak, Brunei, and in the West Kalimantan region of Indonesia. They live in longhouses called rumah panjai[1]. Nowadays, most of the Iban longhouses are equipped with modern facilities such as electricity and water supply and other facilities such as (tar sealed) roads, telephone lines and the internet. Younger Ibans are mostly found in urban areas and visit their hometowns during the holidays. The Ibans today are becoming increasingly urbanised while retaining most of their traditional heritage and culture.

Enjoy! Hedonic Consumption and Compliance with Assertive Messages

...Enjoy! Hedonic Consumption and Compliance with Assertive Messages ANN KRONROD AMIR GRINSTEIN LUC WATHIEU This paper examines the persuasiveness of assertive language (as in Nike’s slogan “Just do it”) as compared to nonassertive language (as in Microsoft’s slogan “Where do you want to go today?”). Previous research implies that assertive language should reduce consumer compliance. Two experiments show that assertiveness is more effective in communications involving hedonic products, as well as hedonically advertised utilitarian products. This prediction builds on sociolinguistic research addressing relationships between mood, communication expectations, and compliance to requests. A third experiment reaffirms the role of linguistic expectations by showing that an unknown product advertised using assertive language is more likely to be perceived as hedonic. C onsumers are often exposed to forceful messages and imperative slogans such as Nike’s “Just do it,” Sprite’s “Obey your thirst,” or U.S. Airways’ “Fly with US.” The frequent use of assertively phrased messages is puzzling, given the mounting research in consumer behavior (e.g., Dillard and Shen 2005; Fitzsimons and Lehman 2004; Lord 1994), communications (e.g., Kellerman and Shea 1996; Quick and Considine 2008; Quick and Stephenson 2007; Wilson and Kunkel 2000), and sociolinguistics (e.g., Levine and Boster 2001; Sanders and Fitch 2001), which suggests that these messages should lower consumer readiness to comply.

Following the January 2011 revolution, further reform efforts are unlikely as the transitional democratic politics and the increased number of political participants will block change in the short term. iii iv Acknowledgements This thesis has served to unite my academic experience at Stanford. Four years of preparation, and the past year of writing, have produced this exploration of food, politics, and the Middle East. The CISAC Honors Program has provided a fantastic interdisciplinary home for this pursuit. I am thankful to Professors Blacker and Crenshaw for their guidance in this yearlong process. I...
