Deqisensation is believed to be important in clinical efficacy according to TCM theory. The measuring method ofDeqisensation has significant implications for the result of research trials. This study makes an investigation on acupuncture-experienced patients and expert acupuncturists in China and aims to find out the patient’s needling sensations and acupuncturist’s sensations which can be acceptable as descriptors ofDeqisensation, so as to provide foundation for more systematic and sensitive quantitative evaluation method ofDeqisensation. Results of this survey indicated that theDeqisensation noted by both patient and acupuncturist is equally important to the treatment efficacy. It is found that there are some differences between the patients’ real-life experience and the acupuncturists’ expectations on patients’Deqisensation. The “dull pain,” “aching,” “sore,” “numb,” “distended,” “heavy,” “electric,” “throbbing,” “warmness,” “coolness,” “spreading,” and “radiating” can be considered as the main manifestations ofDeqisensations. The acupuncturists believed thatDeqisensations were mainly “pulling,” “tight,” and “throbbing.” We suggest developing a questionnaire measuring theDeqisensations which includes both the sensations of the patient and acupuncturist, and this would be very important and necessary for a better understanding of the relationship betweenDeqisensation and acupuncture effects in future studies.

The Relationship

Contextual learning, enabling the learner to be active, evolves according to its potential. In the learning pro- cess, the main thing  is to link all these aspects. To relate it can be done in various ways, such as material that is studied directly related to the factual  conditions associated with real life experience. CTL approach is the relationship of matter or topic  with real life. So in the contextual learning is how to have  the learning experience owned by students always associated with actual problems that  occur  in the  environment. Thus learning in civic education based on Pancasila values  through contextual learning emphasizes the introduction, love and  application of Pancasila values  to learners. Learners are led to adaptation to the values of Pancasila so that it becomes a prophetic man, a human that is useful both for life itself and society, nation and states.

Farewell To Arms

The purpose of this research is to find and describe the relationship between Hemingway’s life story in A Farewell to Arms and his real life. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with a historical-biographical approach, that is, an approach that sees literature as the life and era of its author. The research data is in the form of novel texts that describe the characters and the setting of the place. The data were obtained by using the reading-note technique, namely reading the data carefully and recording the parts of the data related to the setting, characters, and characterizations. The data were analyzed by describing the setting and characters in A Farewell to Arms then compared with the data on The German Wars 1914–194, World War I and http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Hemingway. The results of the analysis show that there is a relationship between the character and place in A Farewell to Arms and the author’s life.

PurposeTo describe ophthalmology residents’ motivation and self-efficacy during cataract surgery training and to assess the relationship of self-efficacy and motivation on both simulator (Eyesi) and real-life surgical performance.MethodsProspective cohort study using a within-subject design. Eight residents were asked to fill out questionnaires on self-efficacy and motivation towards the Eyesi simulator and real-life cataract surgery at three different moments. Simulator performance was derived from the instrument’s output. Patient charts were reviewed to assess real-life surgical performance.ResultsComparative analysis, using a paired sampled t-test, showed a significant increase in self-efficacy towards real-life cataract surgery after completing the cataract training on the simulator (p=0.005). Furthermore, we found a significant correlation between total tasks to complete the cataract training and self-efficacy scored after working with the simulator (p=0.038). Motivation towards the simulator remained stable over time and seemed not to be influenced by simulator or real-life performance.ConclusionsWe found evidence that performance on the simulator correlated with residents’ self-efficacy scored after the simulator training, supporting the theory that self-efficacy is determined by prior performance. Self-efficacy seemed inversely related to the ease of completion of a task: delivery of a greater effort leads to more satisfaction and a higher perceived self-efficacy towards this particular task. Future studies should include more subjects to provide a more accurate insight in the role of self-efficacy and motivation in training complex surgical skills.

Multicultural Theory

It is a self-evident truth that V.S. Naipaul 's novels hold powerful appeal to readers worldwide thanks to his real-life experience of migration and changes in psychology and lifestyles between multicultural spaces. The writer has successfully created a diversified, rich, traditional hybrid space of the Trinidad and Tobago, an African cultural space before the historical upheavals, and English villages and towns after the the golden age of wealthy nobles and landowners. Studying these spatial dimensions through the prisms of Doreen Massey's multicultural theory will offer an insight into the relationship between place and identity, as well as the artistic talent of V.S. Naipaul, a passionate and gifted writer, who devoted his life to “the history of oppressed peoples”, contributing a great voice to “marginal” cultures.

Graphic Memoirs

Graphic memoirs offer a visual representation of the relationship between a moment and the construction of memory. McCloud describes the work of the comic author and the reader as a dance between “the seen and the unseen”. This is what makes the medium of graphic memoirs unique, as it “gives so much to its audience while asking so much from them as well” (1993, p. 92). My aim in this paper is to ascertain the impact using graphic conventions has on the effective and affective construction of meaning and identity in Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic (2006) and howr The Gutter becomes even more significant in graphic memoirs, because the use of panels can fracture the flow of the narrative into the sequenced segments which alternate with the blank spaces of the gutters. These blank spaces represent an effort to redefine the “connections between memory and history, private experience and public life” via a written account and the “act of witness” represented by a combination of the visual and the verbal (Cvetkovich, 2008, 111-20). Using this mix of image and text, Bechdel creates an almost palimpsestic effect as a majority of panels show items layered over other images, indicating a blending between the narrative of Bechdel’s real life experience and the representation of that life experience in the text. For the reader, this can imply a way to address the gaps in knowledge not only for them but also for Bechdel herself.
