Patterns of articles published in the Journal of Mental Health Counseling (JMHC) from 1994 through 2009 were reviewed. Characteristics of authors (e.g., sex, employment setting, nation of domicile) and articles (e.g., topic, type, design, sample, sample size, participant type, statistical procedures and sophistication) are described and analyzed for trends over time.

Patterns of articles published in The Journal for Specialists in Group Work (JSGW) from 1981–2010 were reviewed in this meta-study. Author (e.g., sex, employment setting, nation of domicile) and article (e.g., topic, design, sample, sample size, participant type, statistical procedures, and sophistication) characteristics were analyzed for trends over time.

Excerpt: Publish or perish has long been the mantra academics live by. For decades, this referred to a list of publications on a researcher’s Curriculum Vitae.

The third revised edition (2004) of Annotations, the Alternative Press Center's Guide to the Independent and Critical Press edited by the staff of the Alternative Press Center in collaboration with Marie Jones, M.L.S. is available. Foreword by Robert McChesney. This companion to the Alternative Press Index has been dubbed by librarian Sandy Berman as "the best single way to make the Library Bill of Rights real: providing access to the myriad opinions, movements, and activities that the orthodox, conventional media either distort or ignore." This expanded third edition of Annotations surveys 385 periodicals of the Left from around the world and provides detailed descriptions of content, history, noted contributors, contact information, guidelines for writers and detailed statistics for each publication. Entries are accompanied by concise, insightful annotations that fill out the history, ideology, content, and unique features of each of these important periodicals.

Effective practice determines the quality of a performance and it is essential to improving a musician's overall level of playing. Studies show that experts in the field of music display superior metacognitive skills, or the ability to think about one's thinking. Metacognition is an important skill that needs to be developed in order for a student to become a self-regulated, or independent learner. Effective practice can be improved by learning and developing metacognitive and self-regulated learning skills. An important component of self-regulated learning is reflective thinking. Reflective thinking is a mental process that contributes to deeper learning experiences, improves problem solving skills, and enhances creativity. Reflective thinking can be stimulated with writing activities. Research and theories of reflective practices informed the creation of the Reflective Writing Prompts. The Reflective Writing Prompts stimulate reflective thinking as they teach and develop metacognitive and self-regulated learning skills to make practice more effective. Each exercise prompts the student to think and write a response to questions focused on a specific skill. These prompts are based on research in music psychology and reflective thinking, with special focus on metacognition, self-regulated learning, practice habits, and reflective journaling. The pertinent studies and theories in these areas will be examined and explained in relation to each other. With this foundational knowledge in place, the Reflective Writing Prompts will be presented. The prompts are designed to support first or second year music students in their development as independent learners who practice effectively.

The original purpose of this paper was to discover why Cache County, Utah at one time taxed towns now located in the State of Idaho. Later, it became apparent that a history of the forty - second parallel was necessary to fully understand the reasoning used by both the Federal and local governments in setting up the political boundaries of Utah and Cache County. Therefore, it was necessary to research the records of the Federal Government, Cache County Government, the LDS Journal History, and diaries of residents of Cache and Bear Lake Valleys, as well as detailed accounts of Spanish and Mexican negotiations with the United States. I also felt it necessary to obtain copies of maps drawn in the 1800s to appreciate the geographical knowledge available at the time. Boundary decisions in the western United States appeared to be the result of compromise more often than not. The forty - second parallel boundary was originally made to appease two independent nations. Because this spirit of compromise continued in the formation of territories after the United States gained control over both sides of the line and precedent was followed more readily than logic, the boundary did not fully satisfy residents on either side of the border for many years .

Bien que non répertorié dans le code civil au titres des modes de preuve admissibles, le constat d'huissier de justice n'en demeure pas moins un outil de référence dans l'établissement de la preuve des faits juridiques. La souplesse de son régime, à laquelle participe notamment la liberté dévolue au constatant dans la relation matérielle, en fait un procédé probatoire malléalble, adapté aux situations les plus diverses. Instrument de prévention des litiges, voire de règlement anticipé de ces derniers, le constat peut aussi permettre au plaideur de satisfaire à la charge processuelle qui lui incombe de rapporter la preuve des faits au soutien de ses prétentions. A cet égard, il constitue assurément un moyen de réalisation du droit à la preuve, entendu comme celui d'imposer au juge une offre ou une demande de preuve présentant un intérêt probatoire légitime et récemment consacré par la jurisprudence sur le fondement de l'article 6 de la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme. L'absence de carcan juridique enfermant la réalisation de la mesure de constat pourrait cependant faire douter de la qualité de celle-ci. L'allégation mérite d'être éprouvée au regard de la qualité particulière de son auteur. Indifférent à la règlementation sporadique de la mesure, l'huissier de justice en garantit une réalisation licite, respectueuse des principes directeurs du procès et des droits subjectifs des tiers. Le renforcement en matière civile de la valeur probante des constatations établies par cet officier ministériel est à ce titre une confirmation officielle de leur qualité indiscutable. / Although not listed in the civil code in conformance with the approved modes of evidences, the statement of ofacts drawn up by a judicial officer is still a reference tool in the establishment of the proof of legal facts. The flexibility of its regime, in which participates in particular the freedom devolved in the material relation, makes it a probationary process moldable, adapted to the most diverse situations. Instrument of prevention of the disputes, or of their advance settlement, the statement of facts can also allow the litigant to satisfy the procedural burden which falls to him to prove the facts to the support of its claims. In this respect, it serves undoubtedly as a means of realization of the right to evidence, settled as the right to impose to the judge an offer or a request of evidence that hold a legitimate probative interest and recently confirmed by case-law on the basis of the Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The absence of legal straightjacke locking the establishment of the statement of facts could however raise doubts about its quality. This allegation deserves to be felt with regard to the particular quality of the judicial officer. Indifferent to the sporadic regulations of the measure, he guarantees its lawful realization according to the general principles of the trial and the subjective rights third parties. The strengthening in civil maters of the probative value of the findings made by the judicial officer is as such an official confirmation of their indisputable quality.

This thesis examines history teaching in New Zealand primary schools between 1900 and 1940, situating the discussion within an intertwined framework of the early twentieth-century New Education movement, and the history of Pakeha settler-colonialism. In particular, it draws attention to the ways in which the pedagogical aims of the New Education intersected with the settler goal of ‘indigenisation’: a process whereby native-born settlers in colonised lands seek to become ‘indigenous’, either by denying the presence of the genuine indigenes, or by appropriating aspects of their culture. Each chapter explores a particular set of pedagogical ideas associated with the New Education and relates it back to the broader context and ideology of settler-colonialism. It examines in turn the overarching goals of the New Education of ‘educating citizens’, within which twentieth-century educationalists sought to mobilise biography and local history to cultivate a ‘love of country’ in primary school pupils, exploring the centrality of the ‘local’ to the experience-based pedagogy of the New Education. Next, it argues that the tendency of textbook histories to depict governments – past and present – in an overwhelmingly positive light, served important ongoing colonising functions. Next it examines the influence of the Victorian ideal of ‘character’ in textbooks, particularly during the first two decades of the twentieth century, through a pedagogy centred upon the assumption that the lives of past individuals or groups could be instructive for present generations. / By the 1920s and 1930s, the normative models of behaviour represented by character had come under challenge by the more flexible notion of ‘personality’ and its associated educational aims of expression, creativity and self-realisation, aims that emerged most clearly in relation to the use of activity-based methods to teach history. The juxtaposition of textbooks and activity-based classroom methodologies in the primary school classrooms of the 1920s and 1930s brought to light some of the broader tensions which existed within the settler-colonial ideology of Pakeha New Zealanders. The longer-term impact was a generation for whom the nineteenth-century British intrusion into Maori lands and cultures from which Pakeha New Zealanders massively profited was normalised.

Cette thèse décrit la conception et la mise en oeuvre d'un service de stockage fiable et extensible. Les travaux ont été faits dans le cadre de Sirac, un système réparti à objets persistants. L'objectif de Sirac est de fournir des services pour le support d'objets persistants répartis et pour la construction d'applications réparties. Les deux idées qui ont dirigé cette étude sont la souplesse des services offerts et la coopération entre les sous-systèmes. La souplesse, rendue possible par la conception modulaire du système, améliore les performances, étant donné que les applications doivent seulement payer le prix des services qu'elles utilisent. La coopération (par exemple entre le stockage et la pagination) permet aux différents modules de prendre des décisions en connaissance de cause. La thèse présente dans le second chapitre un état de l'art en trois parties. La première partie s'attache à étudier la manière dont un grand espace de stockage unique peut être présenté aux applications. La deuxième partie analyse la mise en oeuvre du stockage fiable en étudiant notamment différentes réalisations de l'atomicité. La troisième partie enfin montre comment ces deux aspects sont mariés dans les systèmes modernes. Dans le troisième chapitre, nous faisons un rapide tour d'horizon d'Arias et de ses différents sous-systèmes~: protection, cohérence, synchronisation et stockage. Au sein des différents services, nous distinguons d'un côté des modules génériques de bas niveau, et d'un autre côté des modules spécifiques aux applications. Les modules génériques mettent en oeuvre les mécanismes tandis que les modules spécifiques définissent la politique. Certains sous-systèmes sont toujours présents, comme la gestion de la cohérence et de la synchronisation, alors que d'autres, comme par exemple la gestion de la protection ou la gestion de la permanence, sont optionnels. Dans les quatrième et cinquième chapitres, nous nous concentrons sur le service de stockage. Le service générique de stockage est subdivisé en deux parties~: d'abord un gestionnaire de volume, qui assure la pérennité des données, et puis un service de journalisation, qui assure l'atomicité des transactions. Ce système a été mis en oeuvre au dessus d'AIX, et la coopération entre les différents modules s'appuie sur le mécanisme des streams. Les performances de notre système sont bonnes, et s'approchent des limites imposées par le matériel dans les cas favorables. Les projets futurs incluent la fourniture d'un vaste éventail de protocoles de journalisation spécifiques, le support de volumes dupliqués ainsi que l'optimisation du gestionnaire du volume.
