Making global connections through dance film

Dance film communicates on a most basic level, eliminating barriers of language and geography. Through this accessible art form, one is able to experience a variety of global perspectives that tend to crystalize aspects of the universal human experience, promoting our sense of belonging to a global family

Sex Trafficking: Psychoeducational Interventions Relevant to Parent-Child Attachment Relationships

A brief history of adolescent sex exploitation. Topics include a definition of adolescent sex trafficking exploitation, statistics on sex trafficking exploitation globally and in the US, and risk factors of adolescent sex trafficking exploitation. The presenters will also explain the Parent-Child attachment relationship and the impact it has on child/adolescent behaviors (that may increase/decrease risk factors) as well as psychoeducational interventions for parents

“Can I use what I learnt at work?” Accounting education-practice gap

Approaching graduation, the first question for every student is “Will I be able to find a job?” If they find a job, the next question will properly be “Can I perform well at work” This research investigated whether students can use what they have learned when they start work, whether there is a gap, and what gap exists between accounting education and the requirements of practice. This study aims to identify the gap of expectation, skill obtained and skills required between student and practitioners’ point of view. This will provide information to students on what areas should they be paying attention to during study, and inform educators on where gaps exist, and brief employers on areas a graduate of accounting education may lack, so focused training can be provided. A questionnaire was designed using free survey tool Qualtrics. Questions were adapted from four different sources. The survey was sent to a Wintec CBITE accounting tutor. With their consent and permission, the survey link was posted onto a Moodle page to share with Wintec CBITE students. The researcher then collected data though Qualtrics. Analysis was done though Excel. A table was created for each question. Some answers were modified to match the literature’s format of presenting their result to show a fairer and equal comparison. The researcher received a total of 26 responses.,20 of which were from accounting major students. However, only 15 out of the 20 had completed the whole questionnaire. Comparison of the results gained from this study contrast with the literature. Conclusions and recommendations are still to be made

Molecular Hydrogen in Orion as Observed by the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer

Diffuse far-ultraviolet stellar emission scattered by dust grains has been observed in a region near the Orion Nebula. In addition to the scattered stellar continuum, emission and absorption features produced by molecular hydrogen have been identified. In this Letter, we present an analysis of this absorption and fluorescent emission from molecular hydrogen in Orion. We model the spectra obtained with the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer using optical depth templates and a fluorescent emission code. These results are surprising because previous studies have found little ultraviolet absorption from H_2 in this region, and the emission is coming from a seemingly empty part of the nebula. We find that the emission fills in the observed absorption lines where the two overlap. These data support the claim that fluorescent excitation by ultraviolet photons is the primary mechanism producing the near-infrared emission spectrum observed in the outer regions of the Orion Nebula.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, uses emulate apj.

Bimodalities : a survey of experimental data and models

Bimodal distributions of some chosen variables measured in nuclear collisions were recently proposed as a non ambiguous signature of a first order phase transition in nuclei. This section presents a compilation of both theoretical and experimental studies on bimodalities performed so far, in relation with the liquid-gas phase transition in nuclear matter.Comment: 12 pages, 18 figures, 1 table Appeared in European Physics Journal A as part of the Topical Volume "Dynamics and Thermodynamics with Nuclear Degrees of Freedom
