Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the World Congress of Gastroenterology (WCOG) at ACG2017 Welcome to WCOG at ACG2017 The International GI Educational Event of the Year! Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the World Congress of Gastroenterology (WCOG) at ACG2017. This collaboration between the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) and the World Gastroenterology Organisation (WGO) sees the return of the World Congress of GI to the United States for the first time in more than two decades. This is the premier clinical GI event of the year. The educational opportunities at the Postgraduate Course, Scientific Meeting, and Friday courses are unparalleled. Carol Burke The joint Scientific Programming Committee and Planning Committee, along with the Postgraduate Course Directors and the Friday Course Directors, have brought together internationally recognized experts and rising stars in the field. This year’s program promises to deliver the latest clinical updates in gastroenterology and hepatology, plus discuss of what is on the horizon that may impact your practice. We are thrilled that throughout the event there will be sessions that offer simultaneous Spanish interpretation — a first for a World Congress of Gastroenterology. 2017 was a record-breaking year for abstract submissions. You’ll find more than David Bjorkman 2,600 posters and oral presentations this year. Poster presentations open on Sunday beginning at 3:30 pm. Posters may be found in the Exhibit Hall. A popular activity for viewing posters is Poster Rounds with the Experts. Each day of the poster sessions, well-known experts will lead attendees around to posters of interest. In recognition of the larger than normal international presence at this meeting, we will have experts leading groups of attendees in a number of different languages. Signs in the convention center will provide the complete list and schedule. This is a great opportunity to discuss posters, garner insight from the experts, and make new contacts with other attendees in a low-key, relaxed environment. Poster Rounds with the Experts run from Sunday through Tuesday. Learn about the latest tools available and techniques from leading experts when you visit the ACG Hands-on Endoscopy Workshop Center to participate in one of the many sessions offered free to all WCOG at ACG2017 attendees. You can pre-register for these sessions at the special Hands-on Registration desk in the main Registration area and in the Exhibit Hall. Hands-on sessions are offered Sunday through Tuesday. Learn more on pages 22-23. Don’t forget to attend the Exhibit Hall Opening Reception, on Sunday, October 15, from 5:15 pm – 7:00 pm, immediately following the Postgraduate Course. The largest social event at the meeting, it is a great opportunity to enjoy food and drink with colleagues and friends and to explore the Exhibit Hall in support of the meeting’s sponsors. In closing, we want to thank you for joining us for this historic event that will showcase the best in clinical GI from around the world. We hope you have an opportunity to build bridges with your colleagues from around the country, the Americas, and the entire world. Carol A. Burke, MD, FACG, President David J.

As a consequence, in the past fifty years, there has been a paradigm shift in our interpreting the life process. In the process, modern biology had acquired a truly interdisciplinary character in which all streams of sciences have made monumental contributions. Because of such rapid emergence as a premier subject of teaching and research; a necessity to restructure classical teachings in biology was recognised by the academics worldwide. In tune with such trends, the academic leadership of Jawaharlal Nehru University conceptualised the School of Life Sciences as an interdisciplinary research/teaching programme unifying various facets of biology while reflecting essential commonality regarding structure, function and evolution of biomolecules. The School was established in 1973 and since offering integrated teaching and research at M. Sc/ Ph.D level in various sub-disciplines in life sciences. Since inception, it remained dedicated to its core objectives and evolved to be one of the top such institutions in India and perhaps in South East Asia.

  • Estrella Morente Lead Guitarist: José Carbonell "Montoyita"
    Dossier de prensa ESTRELLA MORENTE Vocalist: Estrella Morente Lead Guitarist: José Carbonell "Montoyita" Second Guitarist: José Carbonell "Monty" Palmas and Back Up Vocals: Antonio Carbonell, Ángel Gabarre, Enrique Morente Carbonell "Kiki" Percussion: Pedro Gabarre "Popo" Song MADRID TEATROS DEL CANAL – SALA ROJA THURSDAY, JUNE 9TH AT 20:30 MORENTE EN CONCIERTO After her recent appearance at the Palau de la Música in Barcelona following the death of Enrique Morente, Estrella is reappearing in Madrid with a concert that is even more laden with sensitivity if that is possible. She knows she is the worthy heir to her father’s art so now it is no longer Estrella Morente in concert but Morente in Concert. Her voice, difficult to classify, has the gift of deifying any musical register she proposes. Although strongly influenced by her father’s art, Estrella likes to include her own things: fados, coplas, sevillanas, blues, jazz… ESTRELLA can’t be described described with words. Looking at her, listening to her and feeling her is the only way to experience her art in an intimate way. Her voice vibrates between the ethereal and the earthly like a presence that mutates between reality and the beyond. All those who have the chance to spend a while in her company will never forget it for they know they have been part of an inexplicable phenomenon. Tonight she offers us the best of her art. From the subtle simplicity of the festive songs of her childhood to the depths of a yearned-for love. The full panorama of feelings, the entire range of sensations and colours – all the experiences of the woman of today, as well as the woman of long ago, are found in Estrella’s voice.

  • Language Learners' Beliefs: Development and Change A
    LANGUAGE LEARNERS’ BELIEFS: DEVELOPMENT AND CHANGE A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Education By Sakae Suzuki May, 2012 Examining Committee Members Marshall Childs, Advisory Chair, TESOL/CITE David Beglar, TESOL/CITE Mark Sawyer, External Member, Kwansai Gakuin University Tim Murphey, External Member, Kanda University of International Studies Masako Sakamoto, External Member, Bunka Gakuen University © Copyright 2012 by Sakae Suzuki iii ABSTRACT This longitudinal study was designed to provide an orderly account of how beliefs about English language learning develop among seven Japanese high school students, identify beliefs that are beneficial and interfering for language learning and the routes by which these beliefs are reached, and identify belief changes and their sources. Beliefs are defined as a cognitive representation about self and the world. They are situated in experiences and social context. Learner beliefs pertain to many aspects of language learning and come from multiple sources, including educational background, experience living overseas, peers, teachers, and persons met in chance encounters. The data for the study were collected from seven students attending a Japanese public high school. Beginning when the students were first-year high school students (10th graders), the data, which were drawn from in-depth interviews, journals, written reports, observations, and school records, form a qualitative multiple-case-study. Data gathering ended when the students chose a university in the third year of high school. There were five major findings. First, learners develop and modify their beliefs based on their life experiences inside and outside the classroom.
