It was well beyond my expectations when I heard from Professor Ames that our meta-analysis paper (Han et al., 2000) was among the top-cited papers in International Psychogeriatrics. As an expression of my gratitude to the editor for the invitation and to the audience of this paper, I would like to offer this informal discussion on the background of the paper and extend a few ideas that were not...

In this paper I introduce a lens of mobility for the study of documentary film practices and gender in zones of conflict. By drawing on my qualitative research regarding the practice of the independent filmmaker Iffat Fatima, I will argue that a lens of mobility helps to grasp highly mobile media practices both conceptually and methodologically. Through a lens of mobility, my focus lies on the ...

It will come as no surprise that learning is said to be accomplished most effectively when it is "goal orientated, contextual, interesting, challenging, and interactive" (Quinn 2005a). The assessment of learning is inextricably linked to learning (Hargreaves 1997) and if education is to be successful it is crucial that the perspectives of learner, knowledge, assessment and community are aligned...

Within the sample of unidentified γ-ray sources found in the first survey of our Galaxy, AX J1838.0-065 is particularly interesting due to its likely physical association with the newly discovered TeV source HESS J1837-069 (Aharonian et al. 2005a). In fact, its position coincides with the center of gravity of the TeV emission and therefore has been suggested by Aharonian et al. (2005a) as the m...

This article advances a communicative approach to social capital that views communication as the fundamental source of societal integration. We contend that integration occurring at the system level via news consumption and at the individual level via interpersonal discussion is amplified through ties at the community level. This cross-level interaction is theorized to encourage civic engagemen...

ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would first like to thank my advisor, Dr. Don Bouldin, for his support and guidance in this project. Without him, this work could never have been completed. I would also like to thank Dr. Bouldin for introducing me to the idea of configurable computing, an area I find very interesting and in which I hope to pursue further research. I am finally thankful to Dr. Bouldin for ...
