This chapter reveals the remarkable influence of Madame Bouche, a French prophetess and early member of the Avignon Society, on Emperor Alexander I of Russia. This is the first detailed examination of the key role played by Bouche at the imperial court between 1819 and 1821. Drawing extensively on archival evidence, it shows that Bouche remained in contact with former members of the Avignon Society into the early 1810s. By 1817 she had begun to write to Emperor Alexander to reveal to him his pivotal role in fulfilling a divine mission to bring peace to Europe. Bouche also continued the tradition of consulting the Holy Word at this time. Through an analysis of police records, the chapter shows that Bouche was able to secure the patronage of the Russian emperor as a result of her links to dukes Eugen-Friedrich and Ferdinand of Württemberg. Finally, the chapter undertakes an in-depth examination of Bouche’s remarkable two-year residence in Petersburg, where she acted as a prophetic adviser to Emperor Alexander and to two of his ministers, A. N. Goltisyn and R. A. Koshelev.

Nowadays, a detailed examination of the structure and development of music education in Styria after 1945 seems absolutely necessary, considering an overall lack of research on that topic and a predominant thematization of Vienna. The composer, music pedagogue and cultural politician Erich Marckhl played a pivotal role in music education before and after 1945. His network reached far beyond Styria. This article shall illustrate the development and interaction of all institutions connected to music education after 1945.the reorganization of the music school system, the reopening of the State Conservatory and its transformation into the Academy of Music and Performing Arts.

Using data from police records, this study examined risk factors related to 940 workplace homicides occurring in Chicago between 1965 and 1990. Black men were predominantly both victims (49%) and offenders (75%). The median age for victims was 42 years, but only 25 years for offenders. Women (40%) were more likely than men (6%) to be killed by intimates. Firearms were involved in 83% of all homicides, and robbery was the primary motive (62%). Workplace homicides occurred most frequently in taverns (22%). Alcohol use by tavern workers was involved in 48% of the homicides. Wide disparity in the number of workplace homicides occurred in Chicago's 77 community areas. Strategies to deter robbery and alcohol use, as well as to prevent domestic violence in the workplace, need to be implemented and evaluated. Occupational health nurses play a pivotal role in effective violence prevention.

Polyoxymethylene (POM) crystals grow inside trioxane crystals which have been irradiated and heated to a temperature slightly below their melting point. Figure 1 shows a low magnification electron micrograph of a group of such POM crystals. Detailed examination at higher magnification showed that three distinct types of POM crystals grew in a typical sample. The three types of POM crystals were distinguished by the direction that the polymer chain axis in each crystal made with respect to the threefold axis of the trioxane crystal. These polyoxymethylene crystals were described previously.At low magnifications the three types of polymer crystals appeared as slender rods. One type had a hexagonal cross section and the other two types had rectangular cross sections, that is, they were ribbonlike.

A (111) phosphorus-doped Si specimen, thinned to give a TEM foil of thickness ∼ 150nm, contained a dislocation network lying on the (111) plane. The dislocation lines were along the three <211> directions and their total Burgers vectors,ḇt, were of the type , each dislocation being of edge character. TEM examination under proper weak-beam conditions seemed initially to show the standard contrast behaviour for such dislocations, indicating some dislocation segments were undissociated (contrast A), while other segments were dissociated to give two Shockley partials separated by approximately 6nm (contrast B) . A more detailed examination, however, revealed that some segments exhibited a third and anomalous contrast behaviour (contrast C), interpreted here as being due to a new dissociation not previously reported. Experimental results obtained for a dislocation along [211] with for the six <220> type reflections using (g,5g) weak-beam conditions are summarised in the table below, together with the relevant values.

Purpose The shortage of doctor of philosophy (PhD)–level applicants to fill academic and research positions in communication sciences and disorders (CSD) programs calls for a detailed examination of current CSD PhD educational practices and the generation of creative solutions. The intended purposes of the article are to encourage CSD faculty to examine their own PhD program practices and consider the perspectives of recent CSD PhD graduates in determining the need for possible modifications. Method The article describes the results of a survey of 240 CSD PhD graduates and their perceptions of the challenges and facilitators to completing a PhD degree; the quality of their preparation in research, teaching, and job readiness; and ways to improve PhD education. Results Two primary themes emerged from the data highlighting the need for “matchmaking.” The first time point of needed matchmaking is prior to entry among students, mentors, and expectations as well as between aspects of the program that can lead to students' success and graduation. The second important matchmaking need is between the actual PhD preparation and the realities of the graduates' career expectations, and those placed on graduates by their employers. Conclusions Within both themes, graduate's perspectives and suggestions to help guide future doctoral preparation are highlighted. The graduates' recommendations could be used by CSD PhD program faculty to enhance the quality of their program and the likelihood of student success and completion.
