ABSTRACT There had been a great deal of concern about lack of interest with poor attitude and behaviour being exhibited towards reading by secondary school students. This study examined bibliotherapy – the use of books to heal as a remedy for tackling aliteracy among secondary school students in Ilesa, Southwest, Nigeria. Pre-test–post-test control group quasi-experimental design was used and the data were analyzed by frequency distribution with Paired Sample Test. Out of the 18 students involved in the study, 8 (44.6%) were male while 10 (55.6%) were female. There was a significant main effect of bibliotherapy on aliteracy test (M = 71.28, SD = 15.32) and post-test groups (M = 49.53, SD = 10.63) t (17) = 4.34, p = 0.00 < 0.05 but there was no significant difference of treatment (bibliotherapy) (M = 1.38, SD = 0.50) and gender on aliteracy (M = 1.55, SD = 0.51) t (17) = 1.00, p = 0.33 > 0.05. Thus, the efficacy of bibliotherapy to tackle aliteracy is independent of the gender of the aliterates, provided both genders are exposed to the treatment without bias.

There is no easy answer to that question. Apple decided to let go in the 1980s, firing Steve Jobs and losing the creative soul that the company needed for a successful future. He’s back now and the company has regained its footing. More recently Kodak decided to let go of its film and film processing lines of business that conventional wisdom said made the company great. The new Kodak embraced digital photography. This was the right move because the company’s real core was its dedication to and reputation for quality imaging.

ABSTRACT Throughout human history, poetry has enjoyed a coveted place at the high table among tools to communicate one's feelings. Now, poetry writing is considered a useful method to teach sophisticated affective skills like empathy. Empathy has been found to decrease in medical students as they progress through the medical school. SSeveral reviews and studies in past have revealed that empathy training, benefits medical students and health care professionals. In lines with this, poetry in medical education can help build empathy in budding medical students by promoting reflection and understanding in clinical practice. Also, poetry offers numerous other advantages like it strengthens intercommunication, encourages constructive interpretations of circumstances as well as fosters creativity among students. To ensure that the potential of this method is realized, the current article discusses and explores the role of poetry as a tool to teach, cultivate and enhance empathy among medical students and health care professionals.

ABSTRACT This semester-long study attempted to investigate 122 (M: 21; F: 101) Taiwanese undergraduates’ responses to bibliotherapy and two textbooks in an Advanced English Reading classroom. Data collection included an anonymous 6-point Likert scaled questionnaire with a space for free comments and the students’ reflection papers to show their perceptions. The results of the study showed that bibliotherapy effectively helped the students (a) understand the importance of self-knowledge, life growth, emotion management, positive thinking, and behavior awareness, (b) understand the importance of (literature) reading, (literature) reading course, and the benefits of (literature) reading, and (c) enhance self-understanding, positive thinking, mental growth, and (positive) behavioral change. Moreover, the study found that the two textbooks could effectively boost the students’ bibliotherapeutic energy, including their positive thinking ability, mental growth, and mature behavior.

This analysis of the imperial ancestral temple in the Western Han (206 BC-8 AD) addresses the issue that this institution is generally considered, at least in part, as a religious institution; and yet the use of that relatively recent Western cultural category to analyze it cannot help but skew our understanding of it. After showing how this concept has long been a problematic area for Western scholarship and how using this concept may be inappropriate in this case, I present another way to understand the debates over the ancestral temple by using the terms institutional tradition and personal belief. To present the background of the imperial ancestral temple, I consider this institution prior to the Han, both as we currently understand it and as it was understood during the Han. Then the development of the institution during the Western Han shows the ways in which the earlier tradition was the basis for its reinvention in terms of the institutional tradition, and how its proper arrangement was contested at length between the emperor and his ministers. Finally, I demonstrate how the notion of personal belief can be seen in contrast to the institutional tradition and that the interplay between these two aspects of the tradition is critical for its formation. To show the context of this debate more completely, I include an annotated translation for the portion of the Honshu "Wei Xian Zhuan" chapter that is the major source of information on this topic.
