The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of integrated teaching program using student feedback. A questionnaire to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing teaching program was prepared and distributed among 185 second year medical undergraduate students who underwent integrated teaching in their first year. Their responses were recorded, evaluated and analysed sta...

Recent trends in the Zee model are reviewed. Especially, the importance of a serious constraint in the Zee model, sin 2θsolar = 1.0, is pointed out.

Despite their strategic relevance in organizations, information technology (IT) investments still result in alarmingly high failure rates. As IT investments are such a delicate high-risk/high-reward matter, it is crucial for organizations to avoid flawed IT investment decision-making. Previous research in consumer and organizational decision-making shows that a decision’s accuracy is often infl...

Daniel Boyarin’s latest book explores the beginnings of Christianity and Judaism and the formation of Judaism and Christianity as two distinct cultural-religious systems. The book is structured in three main parts: Part I – Making a Difference: The Heresiological Beginnings of Christianity and Judaism; Part II – The Crucifixion of Logos: How Logos Theology Became Christian; and Part III – Spark...

Stories regarding the Fall of humanity can be found in almost every culture. In general, such stories depict three major characters: the fallen, the tempter, and the savior. There are, however, nearly as many interpretations as to the significance of each character as there are accounts of the story itself. Likewise, there is a well-documented disagreement in classic thought as to whether the F...

Many actors report a form of dual-consciousness when playing roles on stage: they react to the given circumstances as their characters would do, but do not forget are stage. This paper analyzes concept and argues that actor results from actor’s imaginings, which both recreate experience character inform about non-reality experience. Keywords: Acting, actor, dual-consciousness, recreative imagin...

We define a Fourier transform S for the quantum double D(G) of a finite group G. Acting on characters of D(G), S and the central ribbon element of D(G) generate a unitary matrix representation of the group SL(2, Z). The characters form a ring over the integers under both the algebra multiplication and its dual, with the latter encoding the fusion rules of D(G). The Fourier transform relates the...

Abstract. We obtain explicit formulas for the product of a deformed Weyl denominator with the character of an irreducible representation of the spin group Spin2r+1(C), which is an analogue of the formulas of Tokuyama for Schur polynomials and Hamel-King for characters of symplectic groups. To give these, we start with a symplectic group and obtain such characters using the Casselman-Shalika for...

One of the main problems in the theory of dual pairs is the description of the correspondence of characters of representations in Howe duality, [H]. In [D-P] a formula describing this correspondence was obtained under some very strong assumptions. In [P] the second author has developed a notion of a Cauchy Harish-Chandra integral for any real reductive pair, in order to describe this correspond...
