MYTHPERCEPTIONS OF HEARING LOSS,HEARING AIDS,AND AGING     

Karen Patterson  Jess Dancer  Dixie Clark 《Educational gerontology》2013,39(3):289-296

Myths are ill‐founded beliefs held uncritically by persons or groups about other persons or groups. Such myths hinder the communication process and lead to negative feelings or attitudes toward older persons with hearing loss. Hudson, Dancer, Patterson, Reynolds, and Tillery (1990) highlighted five common myths of hearing loss and aging. This article explores whether older persons themselves accept these and other myths presented by the DanPat, a 30‐item questionnaire with “Agree‐Disagree” statements such as the following: “Hearing Aids are Best Left to younger Persons Who Can Learn to Use Them,” or “Persons with Hearing Loss are Paranoid and Suspicious.”

Twenty older persons attending a Senior Companions and Foster Grandparents Health Fair filled out the DanPat with the following results to the 30 statements: informed about 14 of the statements; misinformed about 2 statements; and didn ‘t know the correct answer to 14 statements. Of the five prevalent myths presented by Hudson et al., this group of older adults still believes only one, that persons with hearing loss are excellent lipreaders. They don't know what to believe about two others, and they have discarded the remaining two. This article highlights the DanPat and provides correct answers to the questionnaire.  相似文献   

Do Individual Perceptions Matter in Pornography Effects? How Perceived General Acceptance and Influence of Pornography May Impact Agreement With Sex-Role Attitudes     

Rebecca R. Ortiz  Shawna White  Eric Rasmussen 《Communication Research Reports》2016,33(2):88-95

Pornography use is often associated with less-progressive sex-role attitudes, such as endorsement of a sexual double standard between heterosexual partners, but the process by which this relationship occurs is still largely unexamined. The present study was conducted to examine how perceptions about pornography may play a role in the relationship between pornography use and sex-role attitudes. Perceived general acceptance and perceived influence of pornography on most people partially mediated the relationship between pornography use and sex-role attitudes. The more participants reported using pornography, the more they believed pornography was generally accepted and had a positive influence; however, conversely to what was hypothesized, the more positive they perceived pornography’s influence, the less likely they were to report sex-role attitudes that endorse a sexual double standard.  相似文献   

The emergence and institutional co-determination of sustainability as a teaching topic in interdisciplinary science teacher education     

Klaus Rasmussen 《Environmental Education Research》2017,23(3):348-364

This paper takes an institutional perspective on the topic of sustainability in order to analyse how this ‘idea’ enters science teacher education through an interdisciplinary approach. It shows how the development and implementation of a course for Danish pre-service teachers was conditioned and constrained by a complex web of interactions in and among the teaching disciplines of biology, geography and physics/chemistry and among the institutions of school, teacher college and university. The data collected are used to identify influences among the disciplines as well as disciplinary differences, conceptualised through a new reference model that separates the analysis from the usual sustainability dimensions. The findings reveal how sustainability as a teaching topic can be a unifying idea in an interdisciplinary setting. Disciplinary differences evidently impact course planning and implementation significantly, but not exclusively. By elaborating on the interactions between these circumstances, the paper provides insight into the processes of developing interdisciplinary teacher education.  相似文献   

Implicit knowledge of general upper secondary school in a bridge-building project     

Annette Rasmussen  Karen Andreasen 《Ethnography and Education》2016,11(3):316-330

Bridge-building activities are practiced widely in the education systems of Europe. They are meant to bridge transitions between lower and upper secondary school and form a mandatory part of the youth guidance system in Denmark. By giving pupils the opportunity to experience the different educational context of upper secondary school, bridge-building activities are meant to facilitate their decision-making on educational paths, but also to attract more and new groups of pupils. However, the premises of the inherent differences of educational contexts and of pupils’ lacking knowledge of upper secondary education can be questioned. In this ethnographic case study of a bridge-building project in a rural area in Denmark, we analyse the implicit knowledge of the general upper secondary school, as it is practiced in a bridge-building project, and how it is experienced by the pupils on the background of their prior knowledge. The analysis is theoretically informed by especially the code concepts of Basil Bernstein.  相似文献

Implementing VuFind: A Public Library Improves Electronic Search Quality and Saves Searcher Time     

Maria K. Burchill  Nathaniel Rasmussen 《Public Library Quarterly》2014,33(1):76-82

Web-scale discovery services (WSDs) are a widespread phenomenon sweeping university libraries across the world. In this article the authors discuss this trend and their experience working on a test server with the open source discovery layer VuFind. Developed by Demian Katz of Villanova University, VuFind’s potential to index not only the library’s catalog but also proprietary databases through the integration of application program interfaces (APIs) offers public libraries the opportunity to develop a seamless website-to-catalog experience, thereby building a true virtual branch for their patrons.  相似文献   

An introduction to independent learning skills for incoming medical students     

M A Reidelbach  D B Willis  J L Konecky  R J Rasmussen  J Stark 《Bulletin of the Medical Library Association》1988,76(2):159-163

A partnership was initiated between educators of the College of Medicine and the McGoogan Library at the University of Nebraska Medical Center to establish a new educational component for incoming medical students. The objective was to encourage the development of the students' independent information seeking skills. A three-day seminar was introduced in which the process of seeking information was emphasized rather than the final product. Cooperative development of the seminar resulted in a fresh approach to educating medical students at the College of Medicine and the emergence of an ongoing instructional link between the library faculty and educators in the College of Medicine.  相似文献   

Recovery of pulmonary diffusing capacity after maximal exercise.     

J Rasmussen  B Hanel  K Saunamaki  N H Secher 《Journal of sports sciences》1992,10(6):525-531

Pulmonary diffusing capacity (DICO), together with spirometric variables, arterial oxygen tension (paO2) and cardiac output were determined before and at intervals after maximal arm cranking, treadmill running and ergometer rowing. Independent of the type of exercise, D1CO increased immediately post-exercise from a median 13.6 (range 7.3-16.3) to 15.1 (9.3-19.6) mmol min-1 kPa-1 (P < 0.01). However, it decreased to 11.6 (6.9-15.5) mmol min-1 kPa-1 (P < 0.01) after 24 h with cardiac output and paO2 at resting values, and D1CO normalized after 20 h. Thoracic electrical impedance at 2.5 and 100 kHz increased slightly post-exercise, indicating a decrease in thoracic fluid balance, and there were no echocardiographic signs of left ventricular failure at the time of the decrease in D1CO. Also, active muscle (limb) circumference and volume, and an increase in haematocrit from 43.8 (38.0-47.0) to 47.1 (42.7-49.8) (P < 0.01), had normalized at the time of the decrease in D1CO. Vital capacity, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 s, peak and peak mid-expiratory flows did not change. However, total lung capacity increased from 6.8 (5.0-7.6) to 7.0 (5.1-7.8) litres (P < 0.05) immediately after exercise and remained elevated at 6.9 (5.1-8.7) litres (P < 0.05) when a decrease in D1CO was noted. The results demonstrate that independent of the type of maximal exercise, an approximate 15% reduction in D1CO takes place 2-3 h post-exercise, which normalizes during the following day of recovery.  相似文献   

Changes in organising and managing research in universities: Reconstruction or rediscovery     

J⊘rgen Gulddahl Rasmussen 《Tertiary Education and Management》2013,19(4):271-287

Abstract

The ways in which research production is organised in contemporary universities are different both from the often commonly expressed view of the individual researcher discovering new knowledge working alone, and from the traditional professor‐assistants organisation as the basic research production unit. This article presents ‐ on the basis of an empirical study of social science research organising in four different universities ‐ a number of characteristics of how basic research organisation takes place. The most are described common features of such organisation models described. The factors constructing new more dynamic and integrated models in practice are analysed. And the demands for efficient university governance structures, to ensure the development of basic organisations which can produce short‐ and long‐term high quality and successful research, are discussed.  相似文献
