Oral health among student veterans: Effects on mental and physical health

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore differences in oral health among students by military service status in postsecondary settings. Participants: Secondary data were obtained from the American College Health Association’s 2011–2014 National College Health Assessment II. Method: Demographic characteristics of the study sample were explored by calculating frequencies and percentages by military service status. Research questions were explored with maximum likelihood multiple logistic regression. Results: Service member and veteran students are at greater risk for neglecting health behaviors associated with positive oral health, including that they were less likely to get dental exams and that those who deployed in the past were the least likely to be practicing good oral health. Conclusions: The results suggest that improving oral health will contribute to improving health and mental health outcomes in this population, and provide important information for health specialists working with service members and veterans on college campuses.     

Ambivalent memories of imperial legacies: Asmara as ‘beautiful' and ‘segregationist' from Ethiopia

ABSTRACT

This paper discusses how the capital town of Eritrea, Asmara, is depicted alternately as Italian, Eritrean and Ethiopian thus showing the competing claims of ‘ownership’ that traverses its colonial and postcolonial histories and a multifaceted identity. It focuses specifically on how the Italian architecture of Asmara is depicted both as a sign of modernization and oppression. Literary and oral- sources are analysed to illustrate Asmara as a site of cultural encounter and a historical palimpsest such as the poems Asmara (1958, included in the collection Esat Wey Abeba) by Tsegaye Gebremedihin, and And Nebis (1992, included in the collection Efta 60 Tirekawoch) by Haile Melekot Mewael. The novels Oromay (1984) by Bealu Girma, Ye Burqa Zimita (1992) by Tesfaye Gebreab. These contemporary literary and oral reminiscences of Asmara show how Asmara’s architectural legacies are remembered to express memories of ambivalence between beauty and inhibition; being modern and segregated. Whereby, Asmara gets represented as a model town for other African cities, and a city of colonial decay and segregation, in these contradictory accounts of memories of Asmara, a de-colonial method of engagement seems to emerge.

从EGP到ESP：大学英语教学改革的发展趋势

大学传统的EGP教学已愈来愈难以满足应用型人才培养的需要。ESP教学具有的开放性、实用性、互动性、专业性等特征，与应用型人才培养的需要和目标具有更大的契合性。所以，大学英语教学从EGP向ESP转变会成为一种发展趋势。应将具备特定专业知识、能用英语完成专业领域工作的应用型人才确定为大学英语教学的培养目标。为此，应在教学模式、教学方法、课程体系、教材建设、师资配置等方面进行改革和创新。     

翻转课堂与学术英语的融合与应用研究

翻转课堂的目的在于重新调整教学流程。教学理论、教学角色、教学形式以及教学效果的翻转促使学生向自主学习、互动学习和主动学习转变，传统的知识传递也向知识的吸收内化转变。翻转课堂下学术英语教学可增强学生的学习灵活性、创造性、互动性，但翻转课堂也给学术英语教学带来了挑战，如缺乏学习的及时性、积极性和鉴别性，这些需要加以克服和避免。翻转课堂可以在口语、听力、阅读、写作和教材设计上面与学术英语进行有效的融合和应用，以取得教学效果的最优化。
