Abstract

More than 60 papers presented at the 1987 Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) conference on telecommunications needs, primarily in and around the Pacific region, are included in this volume. Contributions from major industry user groups, governments, developmental institutions, and the small user are represented. Four keynote addresses open the proceedings: (1) "The New Zealand Communications Environment: Goals, Demands, Pressures" (Jonathan Hunt); (2) "Consolidating Communication Services in a Multi-National Environment" (Edmond J. Blausten); (3) "Telecommunications and the Emerging Global Corporation" (R. W. Sturm); and (4) "International Users: Their Place in Planning" (Peter Smith). Papers are then presented chronologically to reflect the focus of the three conference days. Papers from the first day focus on large business and industrial users, including users and providers, user perspectives, national developments, and technical applications. Government and public users were examined on the second day, including public and private networks, using the broadcast medium, shared tenant services and teleports, and using information systems. National developments in Chile (paper is in Spanish), Canada, Japan, and Korea are presented in this section. Papers from the final day look at rural, remote, and small users, including the new environment, educational uses, and applications of small aperture earth stations. (MES)

Abstract

This issue of "Art to Zoo" focuses on Japanese art and is adapted from materials developed by the education department of the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art and the Arthur M.

Background essays about Japan place the art lessons within a larger social studies unit on Japan. Sections of the lesson plan include: (1) "Geography of Japan"; (2) "Looking for Clues: Paintings as Information Sources"; and (3) "Japanese Screens." Worksheets, take-home pages, and a resources list conclude the unit. Lessons are designed for grades 4-9 and address art, geography, and social studies. (EH)

Abstract

Physicians have conducted research on syphilis for centuries, seeking to understand its etiology and the means of transmission as well as find ways to prevent and cure the disease. Their research practices often strayed from today's ethical standards. In this paper we review ethical aspects of the long history of research on syphilis with emphasis on the experiments performed in the 20th century. The description of research around the time of World War II covers medical experiments carried out in US prisons and in the experimentation centers established by Japanese doctors in occupied territory, as well as experiments in Nazi Germany and the treatment of syphilitics there., (Copyright © 2013 Elsevier España, S.L.U. and AEDV.
