Developmental Bibliotherapy with Extremely Shy Children

Extremely shy children may find themselves somehow isolated from society and feel alone. This may cause them to experience different problems at home, at school and in the community. If this situation continues in the following years, the difficulties they experience in life will increase and the probability of their emergence as mental problems such as childhood loneliness, social anxiety disorders, depression and anxiety disorders that negatively affect their quality of life will increase. Thus, it is important to intervene in childhood shyness, social isolation, loneliness, and behavioral inhibition in order to eliminate possible problems that may be experienced in childhood and at the same time to prevent the continuation of the situation in adolescence and adulthood. Developmental bibliotherapy can be used in the context of both prevention and early intervention studies for shyness in early childhood with extremely shy children. In this context, the aim of this study is to provide an in-depth perspective on the concepts of extreme shyness and bibliotherapy, and to present an example of a developmental bibliotherapy session that can be experienced with extremely shy children who are between five to eight years old in early childood period and a sample book list that can be used in the sessions.."

Representations of Astronomy in Children’s Picture Books

This study examines how astronomy is portrayed in children’s picture books, selected from notable book lists, published between 2001-2021. Selected books (N=32) were analyzed in terms of how they portray the practices of science, using the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) as a framework. We also analyzed the gender, age, and race of the main characters. Few books among the selection portrayed characters engaged in a scientific investigation, and many of the books had scientific inaccuracies in the story and/or illustrations. NGSS science practices appeared in less than half of the selected books, and this was primarily the practice of asking questions. The main characters were close to evenly split between male and female, and most main characters were children. When the selection of books from Diverse Book Finder was included, the racial background of human main characters was close to even between white and persons of color. However, without Diverse Book Finder, racial diversity in the sample was greatly reduced. Currently, astronomy picture books provide limited support for the Next Generation Science Standards in terms of how they convey science practices. In addition, teachers may have difficulty locating books that portray racially diverse characters engaged in astronomical phenomena.

Studying at Medical School

What was your experience studying during medical school? I belonged to the last of the “old” curriculum cohort in Glasgow. In MB 1 and 2: we had daily lectures / labs covering all the basic sciences 9-5 almost every day. These continued into MB3 (Pathology) when Clinical Medicine (MB3-5) started. We had summative exams every term. So studying for long hours during term hours and at home was normal for me and my peers. It was very intense. But I learnt a lot and, despite what you often hear, it put me on very good footing to be a good doctor in my medical practice and helping me pass the necessary and numerous post graduate exams. What techniques/resources did you use? I read books, made notes from those books, and then amalgamated those with the lecture notes I had taken contemporaneously => generating a 3rd set of notes. This last bit streamlined everything I read/studied and made revising the large volume of information just before exams much more manageable. My book list had 1 book covering each of the main subjects that year. The decision was often made by cross-referencing Glasgow’s list with my friends’ list in Singapore – to pick the “best” book. I also spent many hours during clinical years on the wards, in theatres, etc to practice taking history, examining patients, and helping ward doctors. Occasionally kindly classmates passed on bits of past papers - which helped redirect my revision. What worked/didn’t work? I think this technique worked quite well for me – I didn’t fail any subject (although I was always terrified I would and thought I had for my MB5 finals!) and even graduated with commendation - and I continue to use this technique to this day. Studying in the libraries didn’t work well for me in the lead-up to the “big exams” – I was too easily distracted when surrounded by my friends! Now being on the other side, how would you recommend students study/find the study technique that works for them? I think that medical students are clearly expert study-ers and exam-passers to have made it to Medical School. They all know how to study. The trick is, I think, being (1) consistent, (2) systematic, and (3) methodical in your approach. Do a little bit of work every day. Build a timetable around how covering what you need might look like and take it from there. Try and study in a way that makes sense within the subject, so new information and knowledge can build layer by layer logically. For this reason – I think having books help provide that structured way of learning. Also – learn with friends/classmates. Not only is it more sociable, fun, and good for your mental health – they are also great for filling in gaps you didn’t know you had! In terms of prioritizing what to study first/most when “everything is important” – that is where spending time on the wards, speaking to real doctors, senior year students, finding mentors, and reaching out to wider networks of students and other stakeholders really come into their own. The latter has never been easier with the advent of the internet and consequent open access to so many resources. What are the common pitfalls you see students falling into when it comes to studying in medical school? A common one is studying for exams using past papers or MCQ books. Remember: medicine is a vocation where even consultants are continually learning, building on basic foundational knowledge. So the short-term “efficient” learning to pass medical school exams is not sustainable and not a good way to learn how to be a good doctor. Another is thinking you can “learn everything by highlighting every line” in a paper/book/notes. The act of highlighting itself does not transfer knowledge from the book into either your short or long-term memory. It is really by interacting with the item to be learned, that makes it meaningful and allows it to embed as knowledge and learned memory. Dr Carolina Kuepper-Tetzel expands on this more eloquently in this BBC piece: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z8vhfdm Resources - Try reading a little every day instead of cramming for exams and work towards MLA’s syllabus (https://www.gmc-uk.org/-/media/documents/mla-content-map-_pdf-85707770.pdf)

Distribution of Lithuanian publications by J. Zavadzkis firm 1805-1864

J. Zavadzkis' firm—one of the largest printing, publishing, and distributing firms in Lithuania—was the most important enterprise in the publishing and trade of Lithuanian books in the 19th century. The extent of the Zavadzkis family's trade in Lithuanian books directly depended on the publishing activity of the firm. The passive publication of Lithuanian books in the period of 1805-1852 resulted in a minimal extent of Lithuanian books sold. It didn't reach 1% of book sales during the period described. The trade of Lithuanian books became very active in 1853-1864, during the years of intensive publishing of Lithuanian books, when one-third of all books printed at that time appeared from the firm. In addition to the bookshop in Vilnius, which had been in operation since 1805, a bookshop in Varniai was established in 1853. The bookshop in Varniai, being located in the center of Lithuanian democratic culture and the most Lithuanian and literate part of Lithuania, became a very important center for the distribution of Lithuanian books. The extent of trade at the bookshop in Varniai was larger than that in Vilnius. In 1853-1864, the bookshop in Vilnius sold about 16,000 copies of Lithuanian books, while 280,000 copies were sent to Varniai. There were 45 titles of books published by the Zavadzkis family. There were also publications by L. Ivinskis, S. Daukantas, M. Valančius, and M. Akelaitis. The number of Lithuanian book titles compared with titles in other languages was very small in both the Vilnius and Varniai bookshops due to second editions or large print runs. Customers acquired books in different ways; trade "by counter" was not very popular. Small traders engaged in commission trade often resold books to the main customers, who were peasants. Book sales particularly thrived at annual fairs in various towns and small towns across Lithuania. The fairs in Šiluva and Kalvarijos were particularly famous, and special shipments from the Vilnius bookshop were arranged for them. Other customers, such as office employees, doctors, teachers, chemists, and clergy from different regions, often subscribed to books and received them by mail. The customers of the bookshops were spread throughout Žemaičių and Vilnius dioceses. J. Zavadzkis' firm used book advertisements by making bibliographical lists of books and printing them on book covers or in separate publications. In 1858, the first trade bibliographical publication appeared in Greater Lithuania.

Spirit of the Age

This essay turns a spotlight on Elizabeth Barret Barrett's unpublished 1822-26 notebook (now in Wellesley College Library). A seldom-cited archival text, the 231-page notebook opens a window on Romantic culture and writers in the years it spans. It also illumines the intellectual and artistic formation of the gifted juvenile author who would become England’s most internationally influential woman poet by 1850 under the name of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The notebook includes drafts of original compositions, memoranda (for example, “Stray Thoughts,” “List of Books I wish to have”), and extracts or analyses documenting EBB’s self-education through wide-ranging reading across genres, fields, and national boundaries. The largest category of entries is made up of review-like commentaries, principally on recently published books, in which EBB hones a critical voice shaped by the periodical press of the period. Writers treated range from major literary figures like Lord Byron, Letitia Landon, Madame de Staël, and Mary Shelley, to others influential or emerging at the time (e.g., Robert Southey, James Hogg, Anna Jameson, James Fenimore Cooper), to authors of memoirs, biographies, histories, and works of political philosophy. Examination of the hybrid form as well as the mixed contents of the notebook indicates that it both participates in the commonplace book tradition and reflects Romantic transformations in that tradition exemplified by Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s notebooks. In the process, EBB’s 1822-26 notebook offers a perspective on the mid-1820s very different from William Hazlitt’s in The Spirit of the Age (1824-25); it also demonstrates the budding acumen as a literary critic later expressed in her contributions to Richard Hengist Horne’s A New Spirit of the Age (1844). Notably too, the notebook underscores the cosmopolitanism and engagement with contemporary subject matter that underpins her later artistic practice, especially in her representation of “this live, throbbing” modern age in Aurora Leigh (1856).

Allegory and the Canonization of the Song of Songs

Abstract The canonical process that led to the inclusion of the Song of Songs in the lists of books of the Hebrew Bible or Old Testament is investigated with focus on the saying attributed to Rabbi Aqiva in Mishnah Yadayim 3:5, and also investigated is whether he referred to the Holy of Holies of the Jerusalem Temple. It is demonstrated that he asserted that all the writings are holy and the Song of Songs is holiest. But the framing of the mishnah associates all scriptures, including the Song of Songs, with the Temple, the Ark of the Covenant, and the Holy of Holies. Allegorical interpretation of the Song likely preceded the book’s canonization.

遯巖書院 소장 기록의 실태와 가치

Donam Seowon was established two years later in preparation from 1632. It became the home of Western politicians in Chungcheong Province while performing ancestral rites for Kim Jang-saeng here. Donam Seowon does not have many records considering its history and status. There are only 12 cases of Record Writings, kimun in the 1600s and 13 in the 1800s. In the early 1800s, books and documents were destroyed by fire, and the materials stored in the ‘Jeonghoedang(靜會堂)’ Mt. Cheonho in Yeonsan- hyeon were handed down. From the remaining records, we can see the situation until the Seowon was established and performed ancestral rites for Kim Jang-saeng in the 1600s. In addition, in the 1800, sefforts to straighten Seowon's status, the process of moving the seowon, and subsequent activities are revealed in detail. The beginning of Donam Seowon was Jeonghoedang built Mt. Cheonho in Yeonsan-hyeon and Ahanjeong along Yeonsancheon Stream in the mid-1500s. The Written Rosters of Yusaeng and regulations for education recorded here later became the standard for Donam Seowon management. The people who were educated in the Jeonghoedang and the Yangseong- dang established Donamseowon, and DonamguJek, which is documented how Donam Seowon was founded, and Written Rosters of Yusaeng, who made a list of people involved in the work every time additional ancestral rites for new person , show that seowon's influence first expanded from the Chungcheong area to Gyeongsang-do, Jeolla-do In the 1800s, as the scope narrows down and it can be seen that it was mainly operated by Gwangsan Kim Clan and Eunjin Song Clan in Yeonsan-hyeon. Because after Song Si-yeol's death, Hwayang Seowon in Cheongju became the main home of Noron-line. In addition, Donam Seowon's status was reduced by creating their own shrine in each Munjung that paternal blood group organized for the purpose of ancestral rites by descendants of a common ancestor. Donam Seowon spent a lot of money every year dealing with the flood damage, and then moved the building. In this process, registers(Yang’an/量案) were written that investigated and organized all the properties of Seowon. After Seowon Closure Order, as Local prefect(Su’ryeong, 守令) became the head of the seowon, there are jeolmok(節目) and a list of books(藏書錄) that show different situations. This was an effort to maintain the seowon.

Zamość Style Unification: Liturgicon and Euchologion in the Basilian Monasteries of the Lviv Eparchy in Second Half of the 18th Century

The paper studies the problem of the unification of the liturgical books in the Basilian monasteries of the Lviv eparchy in the second half of the 18th century. Research concentrates on the problem of Zamość council resolution implementation by analyzing the “church books” in the monasteries of Basilians. Investigating the “book lists” from inventory descriptions and protocols of visitations allows to trace changes in the monasteries concerning the “church books” as it was fixed in the documents, a major part of which used for this research are from the Lviv archives. Among the main indicators of a certain liturgical tradition are the texts of the Liturgicon and the Euchologion. In the second half of the 18th century, the presence of Univ and Pochaiv Liturgicon and Euchologion was selective since we do not have data for all decades for all monasteries. At the same time, such an analysis allows tracing a clear tendency – the full-fledged unification of liturgical literature in Basilian monasteries can be noted at the start of the 1760s.

Fragments of the Ukrainian Book Collections in the Ossolineum’s Holdings of Early Printed Books in Wrocław

The article describes fragments of book collections from five Ukrainian institutions – the Shevchenko Scientific Society, the “Studion” in Lviv, “Ridna Shkola” Ukrainian Pedagogical Society, the National Museum in Lviv, and the Greek Catholic Chapter in Przemyśl – which are currently housed in the Early Printed Books Department at the Ossolineum in Wrocław. In addition to the list of books from these collections, the publication provides a brief overview of their history and fortunes after World War II and the circumstances under which these books found their way to the collection of the Ossoliński National Institute in Wrocław.

Annotated Listing of New Books

Editor's Note Our policy is to annotate all English-language books on economics and related subjects that are sent to us. A very small number of foreign-language books are called to our attention and annotated by our consulting editors or others. Our staff does not monitor and order books published; therefore, if an annotation of a book does not appear six months after the publication date, please write to us or the publisher concerning the book.

Missing Data, Speculative Reading

In this article we use an approach we term “speculative reading” to explore gaps in Sylvia Beach’s lending library records and the Shakespeare and Company Project datasets. We recast the problem of missing data as an opportunity and use a combination of time series forecasting, evolutionary models, and recommendation systems to estimate the extent of missing information and speculatively fill in some gaps. We conclude that the datasets include ninety-three percent of membership activity, ninety-six percent of members, and sixty-four percent to seventy-six percent of the books despite only including twenty-six percent of the borrowing activity. We then treat Ernest Hemingway as a test case for speculative reading: based on Hemingway’s known borrowing and all documented borrowing activity, we generate a list of books he might have borrowed during the years his borrowing is not documented; we then verify and interpret our list against the substantial scholarly record of the books he read and owned.

PIRAP: A Study on Optimized Multi-Language Classification and Text Categorization Using Supervised Hybrid Machine Learning Approaches

Nowadays, all the records in various languages are accessible with their advanced structures. For simple recovery of these digitized records, these reports should be ordered into a class as indicated by their content. Text Categorization is an area of Text Mining which helps to overcome this challenge. Text Classification is a demonstration of allotting classes to records. This paper investigates Text Classification works done in foreign Languages, regional languages and a list of books’ content. Messages available in different languages force the difficulties of NLP approaches. This study shows that supervised ML algorithms such as Logistic regression, Naive Bayes classifier, [Formula: see text]-Nearest-Neighbor classifier, Decision Tree and SVMs performed better for Text Classification tasks. The automated document classification technique is useful in our day-to-day life to find out the type of language and different department books based on their text content. We have been using different foreign and regional languages here to classify such as Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, English, Spanish, French, Russian and German. Here, we utilize one versus all SVMs for multi-characterization with 3-crease Cross Validation in all cases and see that SVMs outperform different classifiers. This implementation is done by using hybrid classifiers and it depicts analyses with delicate edge straight SVMs as well as bit-based SVMs.

Print-Rich Speech Sound Therapy Sessions: The Theory Behind It and Plans for Implementation

Purpose: Print knowledge is a powerful predictor of later reading abilities, which are crucial to children's academic success. Children with speech sound disorders (SSDs) are at risk for literacy difficulties. Speech sound therapy is an opportune time to address not only speech sound production but also the connections between speech sounds and their associated letters and letter patterns. This tutorial aims to provide a rich source of evidence to support the use of print and print-referencing in speech sound therapy sessions. We include feasible suggestions for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to facilitate print-rich experiences for children with SSDs. Incorporating orthography into therapy sessions, through activities such as shared book reading, allows SLPs to address speech sound errors while supporting children's literacy development. Conclusions: This tutorial provides an overview of the risk of literacy deficits in children with SSDs and describes the theoretical underpinnings of why incorporating print is a powerful learning tool. We expand on the research behind print referencing in preschool classrooms. Finally, we provide detailed examples, including book lists and therapy ideas for a variety of ages, to help SLPs add print referencing to their therapy toolkit.
