Schools and Colleges of Pharmacy need uniform, valid, and reliable methods to select and formally recognize teaching excellence. This manuscript describes important considerations in establishing a quality teaching recognition program. Factors to consider include the number and mix of awards, criteria, and process of choosing award winners, and the impact of awards on the School or College teaching program. Institutions should critically examine the processes by which they determine teaching awards in light of the recommendations of the 2009 AACP Task Force on Recognition and Reward of Teaching Excellence. The impact of teaching award programs may include demonstration of an institution's commitment to teaching excellence, increased faculty satisfaction and retention, and motivation of faculty members to improve their teaching skills through faculty development programs.

This dissertation delves into the subject of recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Vietnam with an emphasis on the comparison with German law and judicial experience. Chapter I draws a broad picture of the development of arbitration law in Vietnam from the feudal period to the modern day. In this regard, various modern legal instruments enacted by the Vietnamese authorities, such as Decree 116/CP, the Ordinance of 2003 and the Arbitration Law of 2010, have been taken into detailed account. Not only written statutes but also case law, comprised of a wide range of situations where such legal instruments have been applied, are closely analysed and deliberated. Chapter II focuses on the core issue of research of the dissertation. The in-depth discussion of the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards in Vietnam begins with a brief depiction of the history of the matter through an analysis of assorted legal instruments, including the Ordinance of 1995, the Civil Procedure Code of 2004 (amended in 2011) and the Civil Procedure Code of 2015, as well as the case law of the Vietnamese jurisdictional courts. Thereby, specific features relating to the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards are carefully discussed based on a comparison between the Vietnamese and German statutes and case law.

The establishment of the National Architecture Exhibition and Awards (NAEA) program in 1987, by Chamber of Architects, coincides with the period of dissolving modernist paradigm and rising pluralist influences in Turkey. The program, as a critical medium, is expected to reflect &ldquo / national&rdquo / architectural practice and contribute in the &ldquo / contemporary&rdquo / architectural practice in Turkey. In order to evaluate the consistencies with these objectives, firstly the program identity and then the participations are analyzed. On the other hand, regarding the searches for &ldquo / innovativeness&rdquo / and &ldquo / contemporaneity,&rdquo / parallelism with the international architectural agenda and concerns for geographic differences are analyzed through the awarded projects and the jury reports. In the analysis about the position of the program as well as its indications about Turkish architectural practice, the following results are obtained: Program can be defined as having an insulated and closed character with regard to its structure. Considering the participations, it is seen that it does not reflect the heterogeneous character of its geographical scope and has an elitist profile in awards distribution. Priority given to senior architects in Grand Prizes, the weight of the restoration category and the newly established commemoration program itself point out to a conservative stance. In the thesis, the awarded submissions are analyzed comparatively with Progressive Architecture (PA) Awards program. It is an established program in United States, which perpetuate since 1954 and it is claimed to have both &ldquo / reflective&rdquo / and &ldquo / limit-pushing&rdquo / positions in the architectural platform. In NAEA program, instead of the claims for giving precedence to &ldquo / limit-pushing&rdquo / attempts, a &ldquo / reflective&rdquo / position has been maintained. In the jury reports, the &ldquo / modernist&rdquo / award criteria can be defined as parallel with the agenda of international platform. In recent years, in international platform, instead of domination by styles, conceptual productions and sustainable themes gain prominence. Thus, regarding the submissions of NAEA, these parallelisms have been diminished.

The writer, who, as an art student, has a special interest in the visual qualities of motion picture art, has undertaken to investigate the extent to which the visual aspect of art was outstanding in motion pictures receiving awards during the years 1951 through 1954. As a result of this investigation he hopes to reach some valid conclusions concerning the chronological and geographical distribution of visually excellent pictures during the period and to consider the consequences of those trends which can be identified.
