us has the capacity for innovation. We are<br />

born with imagination, work hard to build a<br />

knowledge toolbox, and are able to<br />

develop the attitude that problems can be<br />

solved. But our business structures must<br />

build unrestrictive habitats that set the<br />

stage for creativity, provide the resources<br />

to get things done and, lastly, support a<br />

culture that sees small failures as a source<br />

of data and rewards the courage to try<br />

solutions that diverge from conventional<br />

MANAGING MANAGING ETHICS<br />

ETHICS<br />

Managing Ethics brings managers and<br />

supervisors into the same situations from<br />

our introductory video, Workplace Ethics,<br />

and supplements their ethics training with<br />

ethical leadership skills necessary for<br />

maintaining an ethical workplace.<br />

The benefits of working in an ethical<br />

<strong>com</strong>pany are well known. This managing<br />

ethics training video will help your<br />

managers and supervisors develop an<br />

ethical leadership perspective in order to<br />

sustain a culture of integrity among all<br />

employees.<br />

Managing Ethics replays the scenarios<br />

portrayed in its <strong>com</strong>panion training video,<br />

Workplace Ethics, but this time from the<br />

leader's point of view, illustrating essential<br />

management skills.<br />

Your managers and supervisors will learn<br />

how to share core values in ways that<br />

employees can personally understand, live<br />

the values themselves every day, and take<br />

appropriate action—by acknowledging<br />

positive behavior or promptly correcting<br />

ethical lapses.<br />

Ethics shouldn't be taken for granted.<br />

Without constant attention, ethical<br />

standards can be weakened by small<br />

decisions that add up. This ethics training<br />

DVD gives your managers the tools they<br />

need to uphold standards and protect the<br />

integrity of your organization.<br />

PERFORMANCE<br />

JATHILAN: JATHILAN: TRANCE TRANCE AND<br />

AND<br />

POSSESSION POSSESSION IN IN JAVA<br />

JAVA<br />

By Robert Lemelson<br />

Practiced in Java for centuries, Jathilan is<br />

a folk dance that uses the power of music<br />

and dance to channel powerful and<br />

sometimes terrifying forces. Led by a<br />

spiritual guide and a whip-bearing<br />

ringleader, a group of dancers ride woven<br />

horses in rhythmic unison until they are<br />

entered by spirits. Once possessed they<br />

engage in a range of self-mortification<br />

behaviors until safely emerging from their<br />

altered state, left with no memory of the<br />

event and no lingering ill effects.<br />

The film <strong>com</strong>bines footage of a number of<br />

Jathilan performances with interviews with<br />

dancers, spiritual leaders, anthropologists,<br />

and enthusiasts. This extraordinary<br />

practice be<strong>com</strong>es more than just<br />

spectacle as Jathilan is contextualized<br />

within broader processes of Indonesian<br />

historical, political and social change and<br />

the viewer is provided a window into the<br />

subjective experiences of those who<br />

participate. Multiple interpretations of<br />

Jathilan's significance ultimately emerge,<br />

from an empirical proof of spiritual<br />

presence, to a strategy of <strong>com</strong>munity<br />

building, to a resistant expression of folk<br />

identity.<br />

LIFESPAN<br />

This video reviews general understanding<br />

of basic concepts of human growth and<br />

development by looking at how physical,<br />

cognitive, and psychomotor development<br />

influences pharmacotherapeutics. The<br />

lecture goes on matching the pregnancy<br />

categories with their definitions and<br />

outlines the importance of teaching the<br />

breastfeeding mother about prescription<br />

and OTC drug use, as well as the use of<br />

herbal products. Students learn<br />

physiological and biochemical changes<br />

that occur in the older adult, and how<br />

these affect pharmacotherapy; the nursing<br />

and pharmacologic implications<br />

associated with each of the following<br />

developmental age groups: prenatal<br />

period, infancy, toddlerhood, preschoolers,<br />

school-age children, adolescence, young<br />

adults, middle-age adults, and older<br />

adults.<br />

SCHEDULES<br />

SCHEDULES<br />

This video covers the basis for placing<br />

drugs into therapeutic and<br />

pharmacological classes and the<br />

prototype approach to drug classification.<br />

It describes drug's mechanism of action,<br />

distinguishes between a drug's chemical<br />

name, generic name, and trade name, and<br />

explains why generic drug names are<br />

preferred to other trade name drugs.<br />

Students learn why drugs are sometimes<br />

placed on a restrictive list and the<br />

controversy surrounding this issue and<br />

"controlled substance" category. The video<br />

lecture explores the U.S. Controlled<br />

Substance Act of 1970 and the role of the<br />

U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency in<br />

controlling drug abuse and misuse and the<br />

drug schedules and examples of drugs at<br />

each level together with explanations on<br />

how drugs are scheduled according to<br />

Parts III and IV of the Canadian Food and<br />

Drugs Act and the Narcotic Control Act.<br />

SYSTEM<br />

This lecture reviews the fundamental<br />

divisions of the nervous system, primary<br />

functions, actions of the sympathetic and<br />

parasympathetic nervous systems. It<br />

explains the process of synaptic<br />

transmission and the neurotransmitters<br />

important to the autonomic nervous<br />

system and the types of responses that<br />

occur when a drug activates Alpha-1 (α1),<br />

Alpha-2 (α2), Beta-1 (β1), or Beta-2<br />

(β2)–adrenergic receptors. The video<br />

lecture describes the nurse's role in the<br />

pharmacological management of patients<br />

receiving medications affecting the<br />

autonomic nervous system. For each of<br />

the drug classes listed in Drugs At A<br />

Glance, student should be able to explain<br />

the mechanism of drug action, primary<br />

actions, and important adverse effects and<br />

the nursing process to care for patients<br />

receiving parasympathomimetics,<br />

anticholinergics, sympathomimetics, and<br />

adrenergic-blockers.<br />
