[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This manuscript style dissertation creates a continually expanding vista of policy at play in art/education. The scope of this manuscript style dissertation through the micro, mezzo, and macro levels of social interaction. It begins, with my work of as a secondary artist/teacher and how I creatively forged new territory for "data" and accountability within my practice and what that produce/d/s in me and my students (micro). As I developed this new method of data collection (the one-page portfolio), I became curious about how other artist/teachers have done the same within the paradoxical nature of being both a policy target and actor (micro >> mezzo). My second article is positioned within a peer group of artist/teachers spending time thinking about their policy enactments (mezzo) as visual bricolages. The research participation created the opportunity to celebrate that which they already do and to accept that their policy enactments are valuable to themselves, their students, and the field of art education at large (mezzo >> macro). I became compelled to interleave my identity as a social practice art influence with my desire to open this cathartic action of celebrating their personally relevant, and creative policy navigations, to all artist/teachers (macro). The third article manifests as social practice Participatory Dialogic Policy Enactment Analysis as Social Practice.

THERE ARE SEVERAL motives for giving a course in Latin-American philosophy. Of these, the most immediately practical in intent, and the one which directly led to the formation of the course at the University of Missouri, was a desire to furnish a relevant course in philosophy for the use of students in Spanish, history and the Latin-American studies area. This factor has turned out to be of secondary importance at Missouri, since only a small part of the students who take the course are from the fields named. The value of this motive will necessarily vary from campus to campus, and it may well be of considerable magnitude in many situations.

Insight Into

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study addresses Lacan's comments on Marx. While much has been done towards reading Marx with psychoanalysis generally, little had has been done to unpack the meaning and extent of Lacan's own statements on Marx. For example, while Lacanian Marxists like Slavoj Zizek have wielded Lacan to great effect in a critique of post-structuralism, they have neglected the full meaning and complexity of Lacan's own stance. What is argued thereby is that Zizek not only omits the discrete knowledge within Lacan's commentary, but misses what I describe as a Lacan's theory of the social. On the one hand, it is commonly known in Lacanian thought that discourse is responsible for making the subject. On the other hand, what is less known is that Lacan defined discourse as that which makes a social link which, in contrast with Marxist thought, introduces a certain affect and materialism premised on discourse itself, commonly known, but also for providing the underlying strata of topology (namely, paradox) requisite for making any social link between subjects. Although less commonly known, we can nevertheless gain new insight into Marx. On the one hand, Lacan concedes Marx's underlying structuralism. On the other hand, Marx fails to see the true source of discourse's origins, the real itself, and consequently fails to see the true efficacy of discourse. He fails to see how discourse, although negative, stands as entirely positive and material in its distinctive effects. Discourse negotiates subjects and their inimitable objects of desire in this singularity itself. This is where true production lies; it is that which precedes any social or economic theory, which are otherwise premised on reality. Lacan rejects reality.

Comprehensive Discussion

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation comprises three studies which in turn discuss jazz ontology, jazz improvisation, and the question of whether jazz has ended as an artform. The first study discusses Andrew Kania's work on jazz ontology and attempts to clarify and extend his position regarding the principled exclusion of vocal jazz and jazz Fusion from his jazz ontology. Further, it introduces a quasi-realist strategy for making sense of jazz-work ontological discourse. The second study is a unique, comprehensive discussion of the jazz drummer's history and role in jazz improvisational contexts, in which the full range of instrumental performance practice (timekeeping, comping, and soloing) is explored. The third study is a provocative investigation of the possibility that the artform of jazz has "ended." Here, the end-of-art theses of Hegel and Danto are recalled and examined for their relevance in determining whether jazz has become a closed concept. The conclusion reached is that it is plausible to affirm that jazz has ended, even if it has not died.

Interdisciplinary Integration

The interdisciplinarity of art education lies in the universality of the influence of art on all human cognitive processes and the ability to embody artistically any theme and plot that excites a person — an artist and a recipient. The origins of interdisciplinarity as a scientific paradigm are involved in the theory of communication. Interdisciplinarity is based on scientific semantics: interdisciplinarity plays a syntactic role, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, it helps to build semantic connections in schemes and transitions between different subject areas. A promising strategic direction is to increase the cultural intensity of all disciplines. Simplified practical use of art as an illustration, “figurative confirmation” of life phenomena ignores its high purpose. Practitioners pay attention to the use of interactive teaching methods: discussion, round table, method of projects, synectics, inversion, etc. In the implementation of research projects of students, we use phenomenological dialogue / polylogue. The use of this method creates conditions for analysis, reflection and self-assessment of students in the organization of their educational activities. The facet approach is an important area of modernization of the university and corresponds to the innovative nature of science. The transition from interdisciplinary integration in the classroom to interdisciplinary integration with project forms of education is the main condition for building an innovative model for the development of art education.

Within the past decade great interest has arisen in the measurement of mental ability. As a result a vast deal of literatures has been written upon this subject. Psychologists have suggested and secured norms for many tests, most of which, or perhaps all of which, are based more or less upon the original Binet-Simon tests. However, this study does not propose either to list or review the history of such mental tests. The one problem of interest, and the problem to which we shall adhere strictly, is to discover the correlation which exists between the Group Test of Mental Ability as worked out and tested by W. H. Pyle of the University of Missouri, and the Individual Tests, otherwise known as The Point Scale Tests as worked out and tested by Robert M. Yerkes, James W. Bridges and Rose S. Hardwick, each of the Psychopathic Hospital, Boston. a thorough explanation of each of these two tests is given in Appendices I and II of this study.

Peircean Semiotics

AbstractWe discuss online promotional texts presenting French-speaking European public universities. We suggest that these descriptive texts (a particular academic institution being the semiotic object being referred to) combine homogenizing generic and interdiscursive regularities that assure the control of their interpretation: on the one hand, generic regularities show that the specific social practice of promoting universities online produces a speech genre that is highly patterned (when it comes to its morphosyntactic, stylistic, and compositional features); on the other hand, interdiscursive regularities show that the descriptive procedures at play mobilize an exogenous discourse that is ideological in nature (i.e., European political discourse on higher education and research) and therefore mirrors the changing sociopolitical context that the sampled institutions are embedded in. More globally, we suggest that a series of concepts originally developed by traditional continental (French) discourse analysis (dialogism, interdiscourse, communication situation, etc.) deserve to be read and re-invested in light of Peircean semiotics.

In the last decade and a half, thin film research, particularly research into problems associated with epitaxy, has developed from a simple empirical process of determining the conditions for epitaxy into a complex analytical and experimental study of the nucleation and growth process on the one hand and a technology of very great importance on the other. During this period the thin films group of the University of Chile has studied the epitaxy of metals on metal and insulating substrates. The development of the group, one of the first research groups in physics to be established in the country, has parallelled the increasing complexity of the field.The elaborate techniques and equipment now needed for research into thin films may be illustrated by considering the plant and facilities of this group as characteristic of a good system for the controlled deposition and study of thin films.

In recent years an increasing emphasis has been placed on the study of high temperature intermetallic compounds for possible aerospace applications. One group of interest is the B2 aiuminides. This group of intermetaliics has a very high melting temperature, good high temperature, and excellent specific strength. These qualities make it a candidate for applications such as turbine engines. The B2 aiuminides exist over a wide range of compositions and also have a large solubility for third element substitutional additions, which may allow alloying additions to overcome their major drawback, their brittle nature.One B2 aluminide currently being studied is cobalt aluminide. Optical microscopy of CoAl alloys produced at the University of Missouri-Rolla showed a dramatic decrease in the grain size which affects the yield strength and flow stress of long range ordered alloys, and a change in the grain shape with the addition of 0.5 % boron.

Economic Considerations

The Missouri Automated Radiology System recently passed its tenth year of clinical operation at the University of Missouri. This article presents the views of a radiologist who has been instrumental in the conceptual development and administrative support of MARS for most of this period, an economist who evaluated MARS from 1972 to 1974 as part of her doctoral dissertation, and a computer scientist who has worked for two years in the development of a Standard MUMPS version of MARS. The first section provides a historical perspective. The second deals with economic considerations of the present MARS system, and suggests those improvements which offer the greatest economic benefits. The final section discusses the new approaches employed in the latest version of MARS, as well as areas for further application in the overall radiology and hospital environment. A complete bibliography on MARS is provided for further reading.
