Muriel Driver Memorial Lecture 1980--Directions for the decade
Abstract:
Following an introductory summary of role theory, this paper examines one element of professional development -- that of ROLE NEGOTIATION. Research findings as outlined which provide evidence of the need for developing role negotiation skills within the occupational therapy profession in Canada. The paper describes four role strategies which can be used to professional advantage, as therapists negotiate their roles. The final emphasis is on the positive professional implications of effective role negotiations in the 80's.

Dementia is an acquired, progressive syndrome characterized by a decline in multiple cognitive domains severe enough to impair daily functioning and reduce independence. Although memory loss is a central feature, the diagnosis requires additional deficits involving language, executive function, visuospatial skills, judgment, calculation, or abstract reasoning. These cognitive impairments reflect underlying neurodegenerative or vascular processes that gradually disrupt neuronal networks...
01:42Directionality of Nuclear Transport
Ras-related nuclear protein or Ran is a small G protein that cycles between its GTP and GDP bound states. Ran specific regulators, a Ran GTPase Activating Protein or RanGAP present in the cytosol and a Ran guanine nucleotide exchange factor or RanGEF present inside the nucleus regulate GTP/GDP exchange. A high concentration of GTP inside the cells, in addition to this asymmetric distribution of Ran-specific regulators, leads to a higher RanGTP concentration inside the nucleus. This...
