  • Unmasking Evolution
    UNMASKING EVOLUTION by Laurence D Smart BScAgr, Dip Ed, Grad Dip Ed The Resource Book REPRODUCIBLE BLACK-LINE Copy freely MASTERS August 1995 May 1996 July 2000 September 2000 -1- FORWARD The theory of evolution is believed to be an incontrovertible fact by the general public and most of the scientific community, and is taught as such by most educators. This should not be the case. The theory of evolution is a valid scientific hypothesis, but the facts are that it has not been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt. To be proven valid, the theory of evolution must undergo the scrutiny (rigours) of the scientific method. This, however, cannot be accomplished because the millions of years required for experimental testing are beyond the reasonable limit of human observation. The current ‘evidence’ for the theory of evolution would not stand up in a court of law while undergoing judicial scrutiny. There would be indications that biased interpretation of data had occurred, as alternative theories could be presented to account for observed and tested facts. The theory of evolution needs its facade of scientific immutability lifted, and exposed for what it really is - an unproven scientific theory. My university training and experience as a research scientist, led me to do an analysis of the scientific data on evolution. This set of facts and quotes is my expose, and it is a step in the direction of lifting evolution’s facade. (15/4/95) INTRODUCTION I have been teaching science for over 25 years, but I have had a number of problems with the theory of evolution.

Dyer Department of Zoology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan 48824; e-mail: [email protected] Key Words Apis, honey bee, communication, navigation, behavioral evolution, social organization ■ Abstract Honey bee foragers dance to communicate the spatial location of food and other resources to their nestmates. This remarkable communication system has long served as an important model system for studying mechanisms and evolution of complex behavior. I provide a broad synthesis of recent research on dance commu- nication, concentrating on the areas that are currently the focus of active research. Specific issues considered are as follows: (a) the sensory and integrative mechanisms underlying the processing of spatial information in dance communication, (b) the role of dance communication in regulating the recruitment of workers to resources in the environment, (c) the evolution of the dance language, and (d ) the adaptive fine-tuning of the dance for efficient spatial communication.

  • An Access-Dictionary of Internationalist High Tech Latinate English
    An Access-Dictionary of Internationalist High Tech Latinate English Excerpted from Word Power, Public Speaking Confidence, and Dictionary-Based Learning, Copyright © 2007 by Robert Oliphant, columnist, Education News Author of The Latin-Old English Glossary in British Museum MS 3376 (Mouton, 1966) and A Piano for Mrs. Cimino (Prentice Hall, 1980) INTRODUCTION Strictly speaking, this is simply a list of technical terms: 30,680 of them presented in an alphabetical sequence of 52 professional subject fields ranging from Aeronautics to Zoology. Practically considered, though, every item on the list can be quickly accessed in the Random House Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary (RHU), updated second edition of 2007, or in its CD – ROM WordGenius® version. So what’s here is actually an in-depth learning tool for mastering the basic vocabularies of what today can fairly be called American-Pronunciation Internationalist High Tech Latinate English. Dictionary authority. This list, by virtue of its dictionary link, has far more authority than a conventional professional-subject glossary, even the one offered online by the University of Maryland Medical Center. American dictionaries, after all, have always assigned their technical terms to professional experts in specific fields, identified those experts in print, and in effect held them responsible for the accuracy and comprehensiveness of each entry. Even more important, the entries themselves offer learners a complete sketch of each target word (headword). Memorization. For professionals, memorization is a basic career requirement. Any physician will tell you how much of it is called for in medical school and how hard it is, thanks to thousands of strange, exotic shapes like <myocardium> that have to be taken apart in the mind and reassembled like pieces of an unpronounceable jigsaw puzzle.

    DEVELOPMENT OF A HOLISTIC WELLNESS MODEL FOR MANAGERS IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS By PETRUS ALBERTUS BOTHA Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree PHILOSOPHIAE DOCTOR With specialisation in Organisational Behaviour in the THE FACULTY OF ECONOMIC AND MANAGEMENT SCIENCES At the UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA PRETORIA SEPTEMBER 2007 ii DECLARATION I hereby declare that the “DEVELOPMENT OF A HOLISTIC WELLNESS MODEL FOR MANAGERS IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS” is my own work and that all the sources that I used or quoted were indicated with complete references and acknowledgements. ________________ SIGNATURE PETRUS ALBERTUS BOTHA iii SUMMARY DEVELOPMENT OF A HOLISTIC WELLNESS MODEL FOR MANAGERS IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS By PETRUS ALBERTUS BOTHA PROMOTER: PROF HEIN BRAND DEGREE: PHILOSOPHIAE DOCTOR (Organisational Behaviour) Research into wellness literature identified the existence of various wellness models consisting of multiple dimensions, and found different relationships between these dimensions. In an attempt to expand on the theory of wellness, this study determined the wellness behaviour and health risk profile of managers at two South African higher education institutions. A sample of 89 managers from two South African universities, a traditional academic university and a technology university, was used in the study. The sample comprised 40.45% respondents from the academic university and 59.55% from the technology university. Females accounted for 31.5% of the sample, while males accounted for 68.5%. The Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was used to determine the relationship between the wellness behaviour levels and the health risk scores of managers. The results suggested that there were no significant correlations between the mean physical fitness and nutrition, medical self-care, safety, environmental wellness, social awareness, intellectual wellness, spirituality and values sub- dimensions and the health risk scores of managers.
