Epigenetic processes, and the investigative practices that take these as their focus, are of increasing interest to a range of professionals beyond biomedicine. This has been piqued by, especially, the belief that bioscientific research is demonstrating new molecular mechanisms through which the social and physical environment impact upon the bodies of humans and other animals. Beyond the laboratory, epigenetic notions are entangled with wider ideas about the malleability of the soma (e.g., relating to neuroscience). In many contexts (including, to an extent, education), this intertwinement has contributed to producing and valourising a conception of a particularly plastic body. In this paper, I draw on a range of biomedical and education-related texts in order to outline and reflect upon the notions of ‘education’ and ‘epigenetics’ that are supported through and propelled by an array of writings that, to greater or lesser extents, bring these spheres of praxis into conversation. Discussions of epigenetics and stress, for instance, are framing certain kinds of educational work (e.g., with new parents) as a means of intervening in soma and society. In so doing, they implicitly extend ideas about what education is and what it can do. On the other hand, writings from educational researchers, for example, are enrolling epigenetic findings and ideas to support various positions or approaches. Many education researchers will be sceptical of some of the more hyperbolic assertations made about the significance of epigenetics. However, the fact that a nascent discourse connecting education and epigenetics is emerging is suggestive of a need for reciprocal, thoughtful, and critical exchange with bioscientists who seek to address educational issues, or whose work is being enrolled by others to do so.

12 men and 12 women Residence Advisors were administered the T-P Leadership Questionnaire on two separate occasions. Two groups were formed; one served as a control and the other received leadership training prior to administration of the posttest. It was expected that preferences for leadership style would become more people-oriented after leadership training. Effects of sex of subject and exposure to training (trained and untrained) on scores from the T-P Leadership Questionnaire were examined. Separate scores were obtained for concern for task and concern for people. Significant treatment effects were obtained for the people-orientation measure. Male Residence Advisors showed a significant increase on the “people dimension” after leadership training. Compared with women, men showed a greater increase in people orientation. There was a significant interaction of sex of subject and training condition.

Recently “entertainment computing” (EC) technology becomes a hit term in Japan. There is a well-known “projection mapping” in this EC. Projection mapping is a video technique that synchronizes real space and virtual space, and the fascinating world view that the fusion of both produces attracts worldwide attention. On the other hand, recently, works combining dancer performance with projection mapping to create a fantastic world are drawing attention. However, in order to make the content persuasive, it is necessary for the performer to perform precise work, such as accurate alignment of the image coordinates of the moving object in the projection video, and it is not easy for everyone to do so. In this study, we aim to entertain not only the people who see the projection mapping but also the performer through the interaction with the projection mapping. So, we prototyped an interactive projection mapping that changes according to user’s movement by projecting to the user. This time we focused on sports like baseball and soccer, and we projected the ball to the user by projection mapping so that we can experience pitching and lifting. Furthermore, we conducted a questionnaire survey to evaluate the sense of use of this system, and the results showed that many people can enjoy by this projection mapping.

Much of the ‘heavy-lifting’ to standardize the armies of the empire was completed during the relatively brief period 1904–14. Common military education and training were vital to the process, starting at the centre then extending to the disparate parts. The Imperial General Staff drew mostly from the list of staff college graduates and so did the dominions and India when it came to building their own general staff ‘sections’ and training their armies. But the dominions were only just starting to send their officers to imperial staff colleges and their permanent forces were tiny, so they required the services of staff-trained imperial officers to make up deficiencies and, more importantly, ensure that they were developing in ways that were compatible with the other armies of the empire. Chapter 2 analyses the people and policies that did much to standardize the armies of the empire during the decade that preceded the First World War

How to regulate social, political and commercial intercourse between the people and Government of the United States and the peoples and governments of the other republics on the American continent so as to establish and maintain perfect cordiality and mutual confidence and respect, is a problem which has never been satisfactorily solved.In considering this question, which is often to the front and some times discussed with acerbity, certain disagreeable facts must be faced. In the process of understanding it American vanity will be hurt, but that is no reason for avoiding the effort to do so. There is abundant reason for believing that Americans are not popular in Mexico and other Latin-American countries. It is not the purpose of the writer in this brief essay to undertake to show why this is so. Suffice it to say that the people of the United States are viewed with suspicion, and this doubt of them and their purposes has militated against the development of American trade in the southern republics, and is a cause of irritation which ought to be cured. Diplomatic friendship has existed and does exist, but that is a relationship which can always be counted on until an open breach is imminent. Less than thirty days before the outbreak of the greatest war in all history there was an assumed—a diplomatic— cordiality between the monarchs of Russia, England, Germany and Austria. There is no danger of a cataclysm in America such as is deluging Europe with blood; but that unparalleled disaster shows that something more than formal friendships, something far more than diplomatic amenities, is desirable in the intercourse of nations.

<p><em>Adult education services – in Italy and Europe – are strongly in need of an advanced evaluation culture. How may we create the necessary conditions for the educational value of high-quality evaluation to be recognized? What does “evaluate” mean for managersof adult education staff? What organizational and relational dimensions are called into play by evaluation practices? How should evaluation be carried out in training groups, occupational skills programmesand in services providing care for fragile adult subjects? What knowledge disciplines should be included in the education and training profile of evaluators who wish to bring mindfulness and rigour to the implementation of their role? This paper examines the aims and instruments adopted by the European project EDUEVAL, presenting the results of a qualitative study conducted with a purposive sample of official and unofficial evaluators in Italian adult education contexts, and exploring the educational and learning dispositives required to make evaluation a practice motivating and fostering high-quality educational work within an organization.</em><strong><em> </em></strong></p><p> </p>

The meaning of the term is “ready to accept responsibility or duty obligations”.The sense of responsibility that should be very easy to understand by everyone. Butif asked to do so in accordance with the earlier definition of responsibilities, thereis often still find it hard, had a problem, there are even people who feel inadequateif given him a sense of responsibility. Most people dodge responsibility, because it'smuch easier to avoid responsibility, rather than accept responsibility. Many peopledodge responsibility, because it's easier to shift responsibility, rather than stand upboldly and declare unequivocally that, It's my responsibility. Many people are veryhappy with the throwing shoulder its responsibilities to other people.Hence came a proverb, hidden stone throwing hand. A proverb that mean someone who does not dare to be responsible for his own behavior, so he let others bearthe burden of responsibility. Could also be interpreted as some one who escaperesponsibility, and love looking for scapegoats to save himself from actions thatharm others. Some people, because they can not understand the meaning ofresponsibility; often in his life very fond of self-defense with the words, It was notmy fault. Too many people are in vain, to spend time to avoid responsibility byblaming the other person, rather than to accept responsibility, and bravely face anychallenge in front of him.Many events in this country, which is caused by people who are not responsible,instead often won or excessive relief granted by the environment with highlyimplausible. It's very sad. At the present time, many people who dodgeresponsibility, because they have gained from that attitude. More teragis again, offthat responsibility is often supported by a nearby neighborhood, his friends, hischildren, his boss, his son, even supported by his wife or her husband. Can be seen,for example, corruption, and manipulation. Most of the people in the nearbyenvironment were supportive, because they are all bound to feel the results of it'scorruption or manipulation.

The Chinese are still divided into two groups. One group is very left in its views, very vociferous, very active, very humourless, very narrow minded and forceful, and knows what it wants and intends to achieve its objects by fair means or foul, regardless of what the rest of the population may think. The other group is undoubtedly immensely larger, though one might be excused for not realising this, as it lacks cohesion and the people in it merely wish to be left alone to carry on their normal avocations. Since it has no strong feelings not only does this group not speak out, but in many cases it finds the line of least resistance is to support the other group when asked to do so.The 1962 Annual Report for the District of Kuching, The Sarawak Gazette, May 31, 1963.
