Abstract This article uses the audio recordings of sexual counselling sessions carried out by Dr Joan Malleson, a birth control activist and committed family planning doctor in the early 1950s, which are held at the Wellcome Library in London as a case study to explore the ways Malleson and the patients mobilised emotions for respectively managing sexual problems and expressing what they understood as constituting a ‘good sexuality’ in postwar Britain. The article contains two interrelated arguments. First, it argues that Malleson used a psychological framework to inform her clinical work. She resorted to an emotion-based therapy that linked sexual difficulties with unconscious, repressed feelings rooted in past events. In so doing, Malleson actively helped to produce a new form of sexual subjectivity where individuals were encouraged to express their feelings and emotions, breaking with the traditional culture of emotional control and restraint that characterized British society up until the fifties. Second, I argue that not only Malleson but also her patients relied on emotions. The performance of mainly negative emotions reveals what they perceived as the ‘normal’ and sexual ‘ideal’. Sexual therapy sessions reflected the seemingly changing nature of the self towards a more emotionally aware and open one that adopted both the language of emotions and that of popular psychology to articulate his or her sexual difficulties.

Pleomorphic liposarcoma rarely develops in the chest area. This report presents a primary pleomorphic liposarcoma that was discovered in the left chest area of a 74-year-old female patient. The patient had presented specific symptoms, including cough, chest tightness and shortness of breath. A radical excision of the tumor was performed. The tumor was extremely large (27 cm - 24 cm- 10 cm) and completely encapsulated. Upon histological examination, it was diagnosed as a giant, pleomorphic liposarcoma. Thereafter, non-specific radiological and endoscopic results during clinical work-up delayed diagnosis until post-operative histology were gathered. In this report, the case-specific clinical and radiological diagnostic challenges are discussed, as well as the relevant surgical and pathological findings.

Background: There are few reports of bacteremia caused by Mobiluncus curtisii in the literature. We present a review of the literature in addition to a case study. Method: We describe the case of an 82-year-old patient who underwent gastrointestinal surgery and subsequently presented with dehydration, nausea, and hyperkalemia secondary to diarrhea. Further clinical work included blood cultures, and the patient was started empirically on piperacillin/tazobactam. Results: After five days, the blood culture bottle showed growth of a gram-variable, curved rod-shaped organism. After culture under anaerobic conditions on sheep blood agar, the organism was identified as Mobiluncus curtisii by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and enzymatic technology. A review of the literature reveals five additional cases of Mobiluncus curtisii bacteremia. Conclusions: This is the sixth case in the literature describing Mobiluncus species bacteremia. This organism is rarely identified in blood culture and is most often thought of in the context of bacterial vaginosis. However, the reported cases of bacteremia show gastrointestinal symptoms and presumed gastrointestinal source of infection. The pathogenesis of infection of this organism requires further investigation.

This study aims to explore the cross-language learning, referred astranslanguaging in bilingual teaching and learning(T&L) at the level of higher learning institutions, through the analysis of case studies conducted at three Public Universities (UA) in Malaysia. This study uses a case study method involving three lecturers in three UAs in Malaysia. Data is derived from audio recordings of three lectures per lecturer, in-class observations, as well as interviews with lecturers and a group of students from each class.Alllecture recordings and interviews were transcribed and qualitatively analysed.This study shows that translanguaging occurs in all recorded T&L sessions.Translanguagingbecomes the practice for bothlecturers and students as it encourages students to be more interactive and responsive and to prepare students to join the broaderscientific community on an international level.This study is equally crucial for both partiessince the use of a language ​​other than the medium of instruction should be given space in T&L in public universities which uses English as the medium of instruction.

Abstract Twelve music therapists were observed working clinically in 3 to 5 of their music therapy sessions and subsequently interviewed about their clinical work in order to further examine and define the essential characteristics of therapeutic singing in music therapy clinical practice. Observational and interview data were analyzed separately using procedures consistent with qualitative content analysis and then integrated to provide a comprehensive picture of these singing practices. Analysis of these data revealed 3 interrelated dimensions of therapeutic singing that were integrated into the larger realization of therapeutic singing: (1) foundational vocal skills, (2) vocal engagement, and (3) authenticity. Implications for the education and training of music therapy students, vocal health, and a reevaluation of the American Music Therapy Association’s competencies contextualize these findings for the profession as a whole.

AbstractPeer assessment has been shown to advance learning, for example, by improving one’s work, but the variance of learning benefits within or between studies has not been explained. The purpose of this case study was to examine what kinds of pathways students have through peer assessment and to study which factors affect them when peer assessment is implemented in the early stage of physics studies in the context of conducting and reporting inquiry. Data sources used include field notes, audio recordings of lessons, student lab reports, written peer feedback, and student interviews. We examined peer assessment from the perspective of individual students and found 3 profiles of peer assessment: (1) students that improved their lab report after peer assessment and expressed other benefits, (2) students that did not improve their lab report but expressed other benefits, and (3) students that did not experience any benefits. Three factors were found to explain these differences in students’ pathways: (1) students’ engagement in conducting and reporting inquiry, (2) the quality of received feedback, and (3) students’ understanding of formative assessment. Most students experienced some benefits of peer assessment, even if they did not put effort into their own work or receive constructive feedback. Nevertheless, in this case study, both improving one’s work and experiencing other benefits of peer assessment required sufficient accomplishment of all 3 factors.

Abstract The experience of caring for someone with dementia can be heartbreaking. The losses inherent to caregiving itself can be difficult to reconcile after the death of a person with dementia, causing challenges in the bereavement stage. Although there is often significant social support to help people process the death of someone close to them, clinicians can struggle to help bereaved dementia caregivers integrate their ambiguous losses from caregiving, such as loss of roles, functions, and relationships, into a postdeath bereavement process. Many socioeconomic, personality, and family functioning factors impact an individual caregiver’s experience, and there are more global influences from the nature of dementia caregiving itself that must be understood to best support a caregiver. Using the lens of the dementia grief model and examples from a case study, this article seeks to illustrate the dynamics inherent in integrating ambiguous losses following the death of a person from dementia, and it proposes clinical goals for working effectively with this population.

Safe Learning Environment

It is crucial that, at the point of registration, midwives can competently interpret intrapartum cardiotocographs (CTGs). It is therefore important that practice assessors are confident teaching the safe and accurate interpretation of CTGs to the students they support. This paper uses a case study to examine how CTG interpretation can be taught most effectively. Humanistic learning theories can be used to create a psychologically safe-learning environment which is enjoyable for both the student and the practice assessor. Using a taxonomy of learning enables midwives to help the student develop higher order thinking skills, while understanding the learning style of that individual student allows midwives to incorporate tailored teaching in their clinical work. In addition to providing feedback, it is beneficial to encourage self-reflection and the student midwife's newly learned skills can be solidified by peer teaching.

AbstractThis study investigates the coordination of matrix and subordinate clauses within finite complement-clause constructions. The data come from diary and audio recordings which include the utterances produced by an American English-speaking child, L, between the ages 1;08 and 3;05. We extracted all the finite complement-clause constructions that L produced and compared the grammatical acceptability of these utterances with that of the simple sentences of the same length produced within the same two weeks and with that of the simple sentences containing the same verb produced within the same month. The results show that L is more likely to make syntactic errors in finite complement-clause constructions than she does in her simple sentences of the same length or with the same verb. This suggests that the errors are more likely to arise from the syntactic and semantic coordination of the two clauses rather than limitations in performance or lexical knowledge.

Abstract This article examines the early history of the Institute of Journalists as a case study of occupational development in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. It argues that disagreements over the putative meaning of ‘professional’ led to widespread belief that journalists’ interests were best served by organizing as a trade union rather than as a ‘professional organization’. Drawing on trade periodicals, memoirs and journalism handbooks, this article illustrates the complexities of the ‘professional ideal’ and underscores the ambiguous position of the ‘mental labourer’ in British society.

This research analyzes the processes students undergo when writing hypertexts collaboratively. This qualitative case study provides an overall picture of students’ EFL writing through hypertext design. It is a collaborative experience which explores and documents how students deal with grammatical, textual and pragmatic aspects when writing hypertexts. This study draws upon data collected during a semester conducted with engineering students at a university in 2003. Students’ hypertexts, audio recordings, students’ reflection logs and an interview were used as main data collection sources. Two main categories emerged as a result of triangulating evidence: “Process of collaborative hypertext writing and negotiation” and “Use of concept mapping and other strategies to overcome difficulties in hypertext writing”.
