MESSAGE TO THE TEACHER Year after year of national testing continues to show less than satisfying results of student knowledge and understanding of basic geography skills. The results might well be even more dismal if the adult population were tested. Because the United States is a powerful nation offering continued assistance to others all over the world, we have become internationalists. Yet we are very weak when it comes to knowing even our own country. With our planet in peril, there is an almost obligatory wave of support for placing more emphasis on a knowledge of our earth. At the very base of that knowledge must lie an adequate grasp of geography skills and concepts. That is, in reality, what this book is all about. You will find an obvious "save-the-planet" and "you-can-make-a-difference" theme woven into many oc the activities and projects. Yet the main focus remains on improving geography skills and knowledge of basic concepts. The book is divided into several sections that combine to make it a convenient resource for the teacher. The first part includes activities that will enrich and reinforce a number of map reading skills. Becoming familiar with the use of a compass, learning directions, examining different kinds of maps, ;earning about latitude and longitude, time zones and developing proficiency in reading various kinds of maps are the objectives of this first section of the book. The next section examines a number of concepts and definitions that are most important in developing an understanding of geography. Each term begins with a brief explanation, followed by activities that get students involved in further investigation. Some of the activities are research-based; others employ the discovery method; still others require map reading skills. Many of the activities were designed to improve student writing potential. Investigating the causes for the phenomena of nature that are so much a part of our environment and daily routine are the main focus of this major section of the book. "Peoples of the World" compares the basic essentials of living that are common to all of us, regardless of where on earth we live. Multicultural topics include clothing, language, homes, food, money, crafts and celebrations. These subjects are the focus of the puzzles and activities contained in this section. There is also a section containing outline maps that can be used by the teacher in a variety of ways according to personal preference. Several suggestions are provided that can be used to determine student proficiency in reading maps. A Planet in Peril culminates the entire book with a "where-do-we-go-from-here?" theme that gives students food for thought and leaves them with reflections on the future of our planet. There is a card game, too, that can be used as a review of all terms and concepts that are investigated throughout the book and a complete answer key for teacher convenience. t; iv 0A1309 MAP READING SKILLS PICTURE THIS When we look at a map we are in reality looking at a picture of part of the earth itself. When we look at a photo we are looking at a much smaller representation of a subject that is out there in the real world. The image produced by the film in the camera creates a nearly perfect idea of the subject in our minds. That is why old photos are so treasured by family members and friends. Often the main reason for taking a photograph is to record an event that is frozen in time to be treasured later or to create a mood or aesthetic response in others who view the photo. In this respect, taking pictures is a form of art expression. A mapmaker, on the other hand, is concerned with creating a picture of a part of the earth that will accurately inform the reader of the precise location of all that is included in the subject. Look at the picture below and jot down all that you see on the lines to the right. Assume you have been asked to reproduce How did you identify the various subjects the drawing in the frame below.

  • The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts

    The Nature of Hellenistic Domestic Sculpture in Its Cultural and Spatial Contexts

    THE NATURE OF HELLENISTIC DOMESTIC SCULPTURE IN ITS CULTURAL AND SPATIAL CONTEXTS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Craig I. Hardiman, B.Comm., B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. Mark D. Fullerton, Advisor Dr. Timothy J. McNiven _______________________________ Advisor Dr. Stephen V. Tracy Graduate Program in the History of Art Copyright by Craig I. Hardiman 2005 ABSTRACT This dissertation marks the first synthetic and contextual analysis of domestic sculpture for the whole of the Hellenistic period (323 BCE – 31 BCE). Prior to this study, Hellenistic domestic sculpture had been examined from a broadly literary perspective or had been the focus of smaller regional or site-specific studies. Rather than taking any one approach, this dissertation examines both the literary testimonia and the material record in order to develop as full a picture as possible for the location, function and meaning(s) of these pieces. The study begins with a reconsideration of the literary evidence. The testimonia deal chiefly with the residences of the Hellenistic kings and their conspicuous displays of wealth in the most public rooms in the home, namely courtyards and dining rooms. Following this, the material evidence from the Greek mainland and Asia Minor is considered. The general evidence supports the literary testimonia’s location for these sculptures. In addition, several individual examples offer insights into the sophistication of domestic decorative programs among the Greeks, something usually associated with the Romans.

    Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas

    5 Six Canonical Projects by Rem Koolhaas has been part of the international avant-garde since the nineteen-seventies and has been named the Pritzker Rem Koolhaas Architecture Prize for the year 2000. This book, which builds on six canonical projects, traces the discursive practice analyse behind the design methods used by Koolhaas and his office + OMA. It uncovers recurring key themes—such as wall, void, tur montage, trajectory, infrastructure, and shape—that have tek structured this design discourse over the span of Koolhaas’s Essays on the History of Ideas oeuvre. The book moves beyond the six core pieces, as well: It explores how these identified thematic design principles archi manifest in other works by Koolhaas as both practical re- Ingrid Böck applications and further elaborations. In addition to Koolhaas’s individual genius, these textual and material layers are accounted for shaping the very context of his work’s relevance. By comparing the design principles with relevant concepts from the architectural Zeitgeist in which OMA has operated, the study moves beyond its specific subject—Rem Koolhaas—and provides novel insight into the broader history of architectural ideas. Ingrid Böck is a researcher at the Institute of Architectural Theory, Art History and Cultural Studies at the Graz Ingrid Böck University of Technology, Austria. “Despite the prominence and notoriety of Rem Koolhaas … there is not a single piece of scholarly writing coming close to the … length, to the intensity, or to the methodological rigor found in the manuscript

    Jadiya et al. acta neuropathol commun (2021) 9:124 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40478-021-01224-4 REVIEW Open Access Reappraisal of metabolic dysfunction in neurodegeneration: Focus on mitochondrial function and calcium signaling Pooja Jadiya, Joanne F. Garbincius and John W. Elrod* Abstract The cellular and molecular mechanisms that drive neurodegeneration remain poorly defned. Recent clinical trial fail- ures, difcult diagnosis, uncertain etiology, and lack of curative therapies prompted us to re-examine other hypothe- ses of neurodegenerative pathogenesis. Recent reports establish that mitochondrial and calcium dysregulation occur early in many neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and others. However, causal molecular evidence of mitochondrial and metabolic contributions to pathogen- esis remains insufcient. Here we summarize the data supporting the hypothesis that mitochondrial and metabolic dysfunction result from diverse etiologies of neuropathology. We provide a current and comprehensive review of the literature and interpret that defective mitochondrial metabolism is upstream and primary to protein aggregation and other dogmatic hypotheses of NDDs. Finally, we identify gaps in knowledge and propose therapeutic modulation of 2 mCa + exchange and mitochondrial function to alleviate metabolic impairments and treat NDDs.
