School of Medicine Catalog 2020–2021 | 3 from the CHANCELLOR SCHOOL OF MEDICINE 2020–2021 A GLOBAL EDUCATION This is St. George’s University, an educational institution that leads by example. More than 40 years ago, the University broke ground by founding the first truly international center of medical education. Creating this new opportunity gave our charter students, and all those who have followed, the chance to benefit from an international curriculum that not only helps students become doctors, but inspires them to become examples of all the great things medicine can do. To date, St. George’s University has graduated more than 15,000 physicians who have practiced worldwide and whose good works are testaments to this belief.

  • Administration's Perception About the Feasibility of Elearning Practices At
    International Journal of Education and Development using Information and Communication Technology (IJEDICT), 2015, Vol. 11, Issue 2, pp. 65-84 Administration’s perception about the feasibility of elearning practices at the University of Guyana Kerwin A. Livingstone University of Guyana, Guyana ABSTRACT Since the genesis of technology, some decades ago, the use of information and communication technologies in educational practices has been steadily increasing. In educational institutions, some form of elearning has been adopted. All over the world, in both developed and developing countries, many universities have embraced this alternative and exciting form of education delivery to enhance the pedagogical practices of their institutions, in order to cater for student learning diversity, and to bridge the geographical gap, making education accessible to all. Since elearning seems to be the catalyst to promote revolutionary instructional practices, the University of Guyana, still largely adopting a traditional approach to learning and teaching, finds itself in a peculiar situation. Taking into consideration the afore-mentioned, this study is based on the perception of the University of Guyana’s administrative body about the feasibility of elearning practices at that institution. Using a mixed methods approach, the University’s administrators were sampled purposively, by means of an online survey. The data were analysed empirically and the results show that while there is room for development, regarding educational practices, the University’s administration generally believes that elearning practices are feasible and should be embraced, once key issues for their adoption are addressed. Recommendation is made for university-wide incorporation of elearning practices. Keywords: elearning; elearning practices; technology; ICT/ICTs; administrators; administration; technology-based education; higher education.

Washington, D.C. April 20, 2007 © 2007 by Christine Quigley ii TuáàÜtvà Head slice on table. Max Aguilera-Hellweg (1994). Sagittsl section, part of a series demonstrating the anatomy of the head, prepared for the Mutter Muaeum by Dr. Joseph P. Tunis (1866-1936), 1910 (www.blastbooks.com). When a human body part is removed and preserved after death, what kinds of identity remain attached to it? There are the extremes of complete anonymity and the named remains of a famous or infamous person, but there are many shades of gray in between. Is the specimen that of a known individual or recognizable only as a race and gender? What reason would someone have to designate the preservation of his remains and ensure that the narrative of his life stays permanently attached? Does a very personal part, like face or skin, commemorate the life of that particular body or can it still be used to represent universal human anatomy? The answers are in part determined by whether the donor wanted his or her identity associated with the specimen. I examine the gradations of identity as represented by three museum objects in three different time periods. The first is the autobiography of a nineteenth-century criminal bound at his request in iii his skin (at the Boston Athenaeum).

  • The Krishna Temple Complex, Hampi: an Exploration of Its Identity As a Medieval Temple in the Contemporary Context
    THE KRISHNA TEMPLE COMPLEX, HAMPI: AN EXPLORATION OF ITS IDENTITY AS A MEDIEVAL TEMPLE IN THE CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Ashima Krishna January, 2009 © 2009 Ashima Krishna ABSTRACT Hindu temples in India have been in abundance for centuries. However, many have lost their use over time. They lie vacant and unused on vast tracts of land across the Indian subcontinent, in a time when financial resources for the provision of amenities to serve the local community are hard to come by. In the case of Hampi, this strain is felt not only by the community inhabiting the area, but the tourism sector as well. Hampi’s immense significance as a unique Medieval-city in the Indian subcontinent has increased tourist influx into the region, and added pressure on authorities to provide for amenities and facilities that can sustain the tourism industry. The site comprises near-intact Medieval structures, ruins in stone and archaeologically sensitive open land, making provision of tourist facilities extremely difficult. This raises the possibility of reusing one of the abundant temple structures to cater to some of these needs, akin to the Virupaksha Temple Complex and the Hampi Bazaar. But can it be done? There is a significant absence of research on possibilities of reusing a Hindu Temple. A major reason for this gap in scholarship has been due to the nature of the religion of Hinduism and its adherents. Communal and political forces over time have consistently viewed all Hindu temples as cultural patrimony of the people, despite legal ownership resting with the Government of India.

Ph. Vogel in seiner Erklärung des ersten Reliefs der Räma-Serie von Tjandi Lara Djonggrang1. Kein besseres Argument kann es für die Herausgabe dieses Buches geben als diesen Aus­ spruch des bekannten Archäologen. Als ich meine Arbeit schrieb, hatte ich ständig oben­ stehende Worte vor Augen und als ich von meinen Plänen Mitteilung machte, erfuhr ich, daß auch andere so dachten. Die Herausgabe der alten Fotos über die Reliefs von Tjandi Parambanan - wie Lara Djonggrang genannt ward - durch den Arzt Dr. J. Groneman, begleitet von einem kurzen, jedoch meist nichtssagenden, oft sogar falschen Text, ist in der Tat äußerst mangelhaft. Seitdem ergaben die Untersuchungen von Brandes überdies, daß der Tjandi Lara Djonggrang von größerer Bedeutung ist, als man im allgemeinen an­ nehmen möchte. Selbstverständlich mußte eine erneute Ausgabe der Reliefs mehr bieten als ein Foto- Album mit erklärenden Anmerkungen.
