General Topic

Two papers in the last (April) number of the Canadian Entomologist are of great interest to me, and both on the same general topic applied to very different species. Mr. Lyman makes an earnest effort to save Mr. Walker's name Spilosoma congrua, and gives all the facts relating to the name, its publication and subsequent history; upon which facts Mr. Lyman and Sir George Hampson reach opposite conclusions. I have no liking for Mr. Walker's species, but I think I would side with Mr. Lyman in this case, because, with all the examples before them, Messrs. Grote and Robinson separated out a good species with which a specimen of another, previously knolwn, was erroneously associated. By removing one example, a good species remained, to which the name given by the author could be correctly applied.

General Topic

This discussion of rights and citizenship is part of a series falling under the general topic “Ethical Issues and Citizenship Education.” Although it contains little directly dealing with how to go about the education of citizens, it does embody material that would be desirable for citizens to know and to understand. Citizenship as well as rights will be discussed in the pages that follow, but the bulk of this particular contribution to the series will deal with rights. (Specifically sections 3-7 deal solely with rights.) The relation between the two is greater than might otherwise appear to the casual reader, for it is as citizens that we claim our most important rights, our rights against the state. Our legal rights have derived from our citizenship. As citizens we enjoy the right to have our rights enforced — as a matter of right, not just as a privilege that could be legitmately taken away from us at the whim of some arbitrary ruler.

Training Demands

Abstract Background ID fellowship training demands that fellows must learn a wealth of information to master ID content and become experts in the field. As such, there is often a limited amount of formal curricular time devoted to career development and to the business of medicine. We designed and implemented a professional development educational series for ID fellows. Methods Surveys of fellowship graduates indicated an increased need for training on the business aspects of medicine and careers in ID during fellowship. The primary aim of this project was to develop a professional development curriculum to meet identified needs while still being feasible to implement given all the other topic areas about which fellows must learn. WE developed a 6-part series comprised of: careers in ID, physician contracts, compensation models, and job search (table). Each of the 6 educational activities included pre-reading and a 1-hour small group activity. Outside speakers were utilized in 2 of the sessions. Fellows completed surveys pre- and post- curriculum implementation and also provided formative assessments of curricular activities throughout the year. Results All (n= 6) ID fellows completed the curriculum. All 6 (100%) reported an increased understanding of careers in ID, physician contracts, and resources for continued learning on career paths. All fellows reported that this was a meaningful addition to the existing curriculum. Strengths of the curriculum as identified by fellows were the general topic areas and the interactive format. Fellows identified areas for improvement for upcoming years: expand the session on compensation models, include more information on careers in industry, and add billing and coding workshops. All fellows strongly agreed that the professional development curriculum should be continued in future years. Conclusion The professional development curriculum was a valuable addition to our existing ID fellowship training program. Implementing a professional development curriculum for ID fellows is feasible. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Spilosoma Congrua ◽  
In Trans

In reference to the present controversy my testimony is as follows: I examined, in 1867, Mr. Walker's material. This represented a form unknows to me, undoubtedly a Spilosoma, not a species or form of Hyphantria. I was so struck with this that I drew up a description and carefully compared the palpi and antennæ. From these and the slightly larger size, I felt confident that it was a Spilosoma unknown to me at the time. The description is published in Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., 1868, but I have no copy, unfortunately, at this writing, of the paper. My memory is vivid that I compared it with Hyphantria cunca, and it was not that species nor any form of it. I conjectured even, at the time, that the material might be European with a wrong locality, so dissimilar was it from S. virginica or S. latipennis, the latter form being known to me from Stephen Calverley's collections from Long Island before, long before its description by Stretch.

As is evidenced by this special supplement of the British Journal of Psychiatry, negative symptoms have become the focus of an increasing research effort. We have recently reviewed this overall body of research in an attempt to understand its current status and to suggest directions for future work from a broad perspective (Pogue-Geile & Zubin, 1988). In contrast, the aim of this paper is to review concisely one specific aspect of this research — namely the prognostic and longitudinal characteristics of negative symptoms. Research findings on this general topic will be reviewed by addressing a series of more specific subquestions, which are outlined below. Throughout, the potential importance of when in the course of the disorder (i.e. during an acute episode or afterward) negative symptoms are assessed will be emphasised (Kay et al, 1986b).

This monographic issue of History of Universities presents new materials and case studies in order to deepen our understanding of the role of the academic milieu in the early modern reshaping of natural philosophy. The contributions included in this volume aim to pursue two main axes of research: (1) the reconstruction and exploration of the dialectics between tradition and innovation in the reshaping of natural philosophy; (2) the attempt to constitute and consolidate new traditions in natural philosophy. This introduction presents the general topic of the volume, the methodological approach developed by the contributors and the contents of each contribution.

New Millennium

What does ethics have to do with computer security in the new millennium? What, for that matter, did it have to do with computer security in the old millennium? To answer these two questions, we will start with a more fundamental question: what is ethics? In the first part of this chapter, we will briefly review ethics as a part of philosophy. We will examine three approaches that have been taken for hundreds of years as humans have tried to decide what is the right way to behave. We will then examine business ethics, which is an applied subset of the more general topic. Finally, we will explore specific issues which currently present themselves as matters of ethical concern in the world of computer security, and provide a framework for analyzing issues which have not yet presented themselves, but will do so at some future date. Is it ethical to lend a friend a set of discs which contain a three hundred dollar program that you have purchased, knowing that he intends to load the program onto his computer before returning the discs? Is it ethical to hack into computer systems, as long as you don’t disrupt or corrupt the systems? Is it ethical to monitor the e-mail of your employees? In order to answer these and a host of other questions, it is useful to think about the common element in all these questions: is it ethical?

Don Sexton and Nancy Bowman-Upton's excellent article represents the first of a series of different authors on the general topic of teaching entrepreneurship. The series on teaching entrepreneurship is focused on what to teach students and particularly, how to teach it. Future coverage can include other areas besides undergraduate and graduate teaching, assuming papers of high quality are forthcoming. Our intent is to expedite the review process, so if you have a paper on teaching entrepreneurship, I can promise you a timely response.

Sceptical View

It is generally taken for granted that water is essential for life. Looking for water on Mars has been a preoccupation for decades, and there are an infinite number of meetings on the general topic of ‘water in biology’. Yet these rarely ask precisely why water is important. And if we cannot answer that question, then perhaps it might be replaced by some other medium in some other life form that can still metabolize and reproduce. In fact, there is recent evidence that the molecular–level requirements for water may have been overstated. Our Discussion Meeting aimed to take a constructively sceptical view, encouraging diversity of attitude by bringing together interested scientists from a range of disciplines.

Practical Implications

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose an approach for conceptualizing science based on collaboration and competences of researchers. Design/methodology/approach The research is conducted by exploratory analysis of collaboration and competences using case studies from humanistic, engineering, natural sciences and a general topic. Findings The findings show that by applying the proposed approach on bibliographic data that readily exist for many national sciences as well as for international scientific communities, one can obtain useful new insights into the research. The approach is demonstrated with the following exploratory findings: identification of important connections and individual researchers that connect the community of anthropologists; collaboration of technical scientists in the community of anthropologists caused by an interdisciplinary research project; connectivity, interdisciplinary and structure of artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and a community based on a general topic; and identifying research interest shift described with concretization and topic-shift. Practical implications As demonstrated with the practical implementation (http://scienceatlas.ijs.si/), users can obtain information of the most relevant competences of a researcher and his most important collaborators. It is possible to obtaining researchers, community structure and competences of an arbitrary research topic. Social implications The map for collaboration and competences of a complete science can be a crucial tool for policy-making. Social scientists can use the results of the proposed approach to better understand and direct the development of science. Originality/value Originality and value of the paper is in combining text (competences) and network (research collaboration and co-authoring) approaches for exploring science. Additional values give the results of analysis that demonstrate the approach.
