Abstract:
This article proposes a linguistic anthropological approach to the notion BOY, drawing attention to diverse research methods including etymology, onomasiology, corpus analysis, semantics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and comparative ethnolinguistics. As a popular and flexible lexical device, BOY may function as an operator on the received nature of manhood (by rendering it contingent on the discourse and narrative of development), but also as a possible aid in its ever-imminent bankruptcy by disengaging its stylistics from essentialist understandings of both gender and life phase. BOY, thus, lies at the heart of discussions about masculinity as it relates to performativity, language, and discourse, but, in important ways, it also exceeds and contests the confinements of gender/masculinity research.

Abstract:
The body is the most significant factor in architecture. We foremost build to house people. We mediate external climatic factors with the outermost architectural layer to provide a comfortable interior for human habitation. However, over the centuries, architecture has become less about responding to human need and more about abstract ordering principles and surface articulation. Building skin is archispeak for the outermost architectural layer where this surface articulation predominantly occurs. It also is the most contemporary - and skewed - example of the anthropomorphic building as body analogy that, although is the oldest theme in architectural theory, is deeply flawed. By having buildings be bodies, the true connection with the body of the dweller is lost. Redirecting building as body to building as about the body allows architecture to refocus its emphasis on the true body / building relationship: the original formulating concept and process of the first architecture - the primitive hut. We first wore clothing to protect our bodies. The origins of architecture is the transition between shelter as clothing to shelter as including space. Gottfried Semper's bekleidung - dress principle - acknowledges this. The outermost architectural envelope is a layer of dress - not skin, a comfort extender one degree removed from our clothing and two from the body. Thinking about architecture as dress enforces the base principle of buildings being about the body. Architecture is synergetic shelter; of the body, by the body, for the body.

Abstract:
Esta pesquisa busca compreender as implicaÃÃes da participaÃÃo em um grupo de arte-identidade no movimento da identidade de jovens vinculados ao Movimento de SaÃde Mental ComunitÃria do Bom Jardim (MSMCBJ), organizaÃÃo nÃo governamental que atua em Fortaleza no bairro do Grande Bom Jardim localizado na Secretaria Executiva Regional â SER V. Tal iniciativa deu-se a partir da nossa prÃvia inserÃÃo nas atividades do MSMCBJ, que garantiu o desdobramento de um processo de vinculaÃÃo tanto com a comunidade, quanto com os funcionÃrios da instituiÃÃo, permitindo, assim, uma abertura para a realizaÃÃo da pesquisa. Outro motivo foi a existÃncia de um grupo de trabalho com arte-identidade realizado com a populaÃÃo jovem que participa dos cursos profissionalizantes oferecidos pela ONG. Nesse sentido, nossa investigaÃÃo deteve-se em dois objetivos especÃficos: 1. Analisar as personagens que surgem no movimento da identidade dos jovens durante a participaÃÃo assÃdua no grupo de arte-identidade; 2. Compreender a direÃÃo da expressÃo e metamorfose da identidade mediante a presenÃa de novas personagens e o desaparecimento de outras. A relevÃncia desta pesquisa destaca-se pelo fato de a arte-identidade como proposta de facilitaÃÃo de grupos nÃo ter sido sistematizada. AlÃm disso, vinculÃ-la ao trabalho com jovens de um bairro popular da capital cearense muito pode contribuir como alternativa de facilitaÃÃo de grupos com esta populaÃÃo. Como marco teÃrico, utilizamos as contribuiÃÃes da Psicologia ComunitÃria, que busca facilitar, atravÃs do aprofundamento da consciÃncia, o desenvolvimento dos sujeitos comunitÃrios; da BiodanÃa, que à um sistema de desenvolvimento humano que busca a integraÃÃo afetiva, a renovaÃÃo orgÃnica e a reaprendizagem das funÃÃes originÃrias da vida; e da EducaÃÃo BiocÃntrica, que utiliza a BiodanÃa como mediadora no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, buscando a construÃÃo do conhecimento a partir do fortalecimento da identidade do educando para que este possa aprender a viver, conectando-se de forma profunda com a vida. Assim, atravÃs do mÃtodo facilitar-pesquisando com um grupo formado por 32 jovens na faixa etÃria de 16 a 20 anos, realizamos questionÃrios, cÃrculos de cultura, cÃrculos de encontro e relatos de vivÃncia como instrumentos para coletar os dados. Elegemos 8 jovens como participantes da pesquisa a partir de dois critÃrios: 1. a densidade das informaÃÃes oferecidas por estes participantes, apresentando um conteÃdo significativo para uma anÃlise com qualidade, e 2. a freqÃÃncia de participaÃÃo nos encontros semanais do grupo, acompanhados por assinatura numa lista, caracterizando uma porcentagem superior à 64%. ApÃs a transcriÃÃo e codificaÃÃo dos dados, submetemo-nos aos procedimento de anÃlise temÃtica. ConcluÃmos que a arte-identidade atua na construÃÃo de uma identidade-amor a partir da transformaÃÃo positiva dos seguintes aspectos identitÃrios: atua no fortalecimento dos aspectos saudÃveis da identidade (ausÃncia de agressÃo gratuita, percepÃÃo de si mesmo como criatura portadora de um valor intrÃnseco, capacidade de intimidade, capacidade de auto-regulaÃÃo e empatia); potencializa a expressÃo das linhas de vivÃncia (enfocamos a vitalidade, criatividade e afetividade); fortalece os tipos de vinculaÃÃo com a vida; e atua no fortalecimento do valor pessoal e poder pessoal.
This research search to understand the implications of the participation in an art-identity group in the movement of the Movement of Community Mental Health of the Good Garden (MSMCBJ) youths' identity, organization non government that works in Fortaleza in the neighborhood of the Grande Bom Jardim located in the Secretaria Executiva Regional - SER V. Such an initiative felt starting from our previous insert in the activities of MSMCBJ that it guaranteed an approximation with the community and with the employees of the institution allowing this research. Another reason was the existence of agroup with art-identity accomplished with the young population that participates the courses offered by ONG. This way, our investigation had two specific objectives: 1. to analyze the characters that appear in the movement of the youths' identity during the assiduous participation in the art-identity group; 2. to understand the direction of the expression and metamorphosis of the identity by the new characters' presence and the disappearance of other. The relevance of this research is the fact of the art-identity as proposal of facilitation of groups it was not systematized. Besides, the work with youths of a popular neighborhood of the capital from Cearà a lot can contribute as alternative of facilitation of groups with this population. We used the contributions of the Community Psychology theory that it looks for to facilitate through the conscience, the development of the community subjects; of BiodanÃa a system of human development that looks for the affective integration, the organic renewal and the learning of the original functions of the life; and of the EducaÃÃo BiocÃntrica, that uses BiodanÃa as way in the teaching-learning process, looking for the construction of the knowledge starting from the invigoration of the student's identity so that this can learn how to live, being connected in a deep way with the life. Like this, through the method facilitar-pesquisando with a group formed by 32 young with 16 to 20 years, we accomplished questionnaires, culture circles, encounter circles and existence reports as instruments to collect the data. We chose 8 young as participants because: 1. the density of the information offered by these participants with a significant content for an analysis with quality, and 2. the participation frequency in the weekly encounters of the group, accompanied by signature in a list, characterizing a superior percentage to the 64%. After the transcription and code of the data, we made thematic analysis. We concluded that the art-identity group acts in the construction of an identidade-amor through the positive transformation from identity: it works in the healthy aspects of the identity (like aggression, perception of himself value, intimacy, self-regulation and empathy); it woks in the expression from the vitality, creativity and affectivity; it strengthens the life love; and it acts in the personal value and personal power.

Abstract:
Haapsalu Bay is a very shallow area consisting of semiclosed regions partly separated by peninsulas in the coastal zone of West Estonia. The main inflow of fresh water, 33.875.436 m3/year, from some small rivers (Ungru, Taebla, Vönnu, Asukula) falls into the eastern part of Haapsalu Bay, with the Nitrogen load 72.331 Kg/year and Phosphorus load 2.327,88 Kg/year. The central part of the Bay receives municipal and industrial sewage waters from the town of Haapsalu with a discharge of nutrients 28.591,6 Kg N/year and 4.34,17 Kg P/year . In addition, atmospheric deposition constitutes an important part of the nutrients load with 40.936 Kg N/year and 183 Kg P/year. As a consequence, intensive production of organic matter and accumulation of nutrients lead to a constant eutrophication process. In order to understand biochemical processes occurring in the marine ecosystem where the turnover of both phosphorus and nitrogen is included a conceptual model has been built up. Haapsalu Model, implemented in Stella Software, illustrates the phosphorus and nitrogen cycles and the concentration of nutrients in their different stages in Haapsalu Bay. Moreover, how various reduction strategies will affect the environment in the bay and in the Baltic proper may be simulated. The model tests nowadays the bay acts a giant waste stabilization pond resulting in the fact that the amount of nutrients carried by flowing water out to Baltic Sea should be small.

Abstract:
There are many names or labels which refer to the generation growing up with digital media and these include labels such as ‘Net Generation’ (Tapscott, 1998), ‘digital natives’ (Prensky, 2001), ‘cyberkids’ (Holloway, 2003) and ‘MySpacegeneration’ (Rosen, 2008). The core idea behind these labels is that young people who have grown up surrounded by digital technology are very different to previous generations in their way of using and even thinking about the new digital technology. This appears to be reinforcing a generational divide and makes the assumption that young people can be categorized into one group in relation to their use of ICTs. The approach in this thesis is to empirically explore, in order to nuance, some of these presumptions about the ‘Net Generation’ (defined according to Tapscott). Thus, the research question is: How can the presumptions about the ‘Net Generation’ be nuanced? The following three presumptions have been explored within the three papers included in the thesis: i) The ‘Net Generation’ diverges from previous generations in relation to the use of internet; ii) The ‘Net Generation’ is techno-savvy or digitally competent; iii) The digitally competent ‘Net Geners’ are also digital participants since there is a causal relationship between digital competence and digital participation. The explorations are conducted by using the theoretical concepts ‘digital skills’, ‘self-efficacy’ and ‘participatory culture’. Several hypotheses,deduced from previous research, have been tested on a national representative sample of people born between the years 1978 and 1997 (categorised as the ‘Net Generation’). The results show that ‘Net Geners’ internet usage is diversified;hence, it is simplified to talk about them as a homogeneous group. Those included in the categorisation have different opportunities to participate in the digital society. Their internet usage differs both in terms of how much time they spend and what they do online. Their digital skills and self-efficacy in the use of computers are also different and so is the perceived feeling of participation in the information society. This implies that the ‘Net Geners’ do not have equal conditions in relation to participation in the digital society. However, what is meant by participation is still an unresolved question which requires further exploration.
SAMMANDRAG Idag beskrivs ofta generationen som vuxit upp med internet och digitala medier i termer av att vara en ”internetgeneration” (Tapscott, 1998), "digitala infödingar" (Prensky, 2001), "cyberkids" (Holloway, 2003) eller "MySpace-generation" (Rosen, 2008). Dessa antaganden bygger på att det finns en generationsskillnad i förhållningssätt till internet, d.v.s. att ”internetgenerationen” är de som är kunniga och vana internetanvändare till skillnad från äldre generationer som inte helt naturligt kan ta till sig den nya digitala tekniken. Avhandlingens syfte är att empiriskt undersöka ett antal antaganden om ”internetgenerationen” för att ta reda hur dessa kan nyanseras. Således är frågeställningen: Hur kan antaganden om "internetgenerationen" nyanseras?   Följande tre antaganden har utforskats inom de tre artiklarna som ingår i avhandlingen: i) "internetgenerationen" skiljer sig från tidigare generationer när det gäller användningen av internet, ii) "internetgenerationen" är tekniskt kunniga eller digitalt kompetenta; iii) den digitalt kompetenta "internetgenerationen" är också digitalt delaktig eftersom det finns ett orsakssamband mellan digital kompetens och digital delaktighet. För att empiriskt undersöka antagandena om internetgenerationen har teoretiska koncept så som ”digital skills”, ”self-efficacy” samt ”participatory culture” använts. Ett antal hypoteser som deducerats utifrån tidigare forskning har testats på ett riksrepresentativt urval av personer födda mellan 1978 och 1997 (de som tillhör internetgenerationen). Resultaten visar att det är en förenklad bild att prata om en internetgeneration. De som ingår i den kategoriseringen har olika förutsättningar att delta i det digitala samhället. Deras internetanvändning skiljer sig åt både när det gäller hur mycket tid de spenderar samt vad de gör online. Deras digitala kompetens och självförtroende när det gäller användning av datorer skiljer sig också åt och det gäller även den upplevda känslan av delaktighet i informationssamhället. Detta indikerar att inte alla har samma förutsättningar att vara delaktiga i det digitala samhället. Vad som däremot innebär att vara delaktig är fortfarande en obesvarad fråga som behöver ägnas mer uppmärksamhet i framtida studier.

Introdução: A adolescência é um período de intensas mudanças físicas, psicológicas, cognitivas e sociais, que podem influenciar a opinião sobre peso corporal e alimentação. Objetivo: Analisar a opinião de adolescentes sobre peso corporal e alimentação. Métodos: Estudo transversal, com adolescentes (14 a 19 anos), de ambos os sexos, do ensino médio de escolas técnicas que participaram do Projeto Educação Alimentar, nos municípios de São Paulo, Sorocaba, Ribeirão Preto e Mogi das Cruzes. As variáveis respostas do estudo foram opinião sobre peso corporal e opinião sobre alimentação e as explanatórias foram, ingestão referida de frutas, hortaliças e produtos lácteos, idade, sexo, inatividade física, realização de refeição em frente à televisão, cidade e índice de massa corporal IMC. Utilizou-se a regressão de Poisson (p<0,05) para verificar associação entre as variáveis estudadas e a razão de prevalência entre as categorias das variáveis; o teste de McNemar foi calculado para comparar as proporções oriundas das variáveis respostas (opinião sobre peso corporal e alimentação) simultaneamente. Para os cálculos utilizou-se o Stata, versão 10.1. Resultados: Foram estudados 273 adolescentes (60,4 por cento meninas). Detectou-se associação entre opinião sobre peso corporal, IMC e sexo; incluindo inatividade física para sexo masculino e cidade para sexo feminino. A opinião sobre alimentação mostrou-se associada a sexo, ingestão referida de frutas e hortaliças; incluindo cidade para sexo feminino e somente frutas para sexo masculino. Encontrou-se associação entre opinião sobre peso corporal e alimentação para sexo feminino e para o total de adolescentes. Conclusão: A opinião sobre peso corporal e opinião sobre alimentação se manifestaram de forma semelhante e simultânea para sexo feminino e para o total de adolescentes
Introduction: Adolescence is a period of intense physical, psychological, cognitive and, social changes that may influence opinion about body weight and eating practice. Objective: To analyze adolescents opinion about body weight and eating practice. Methods: Cross-sectional study with adolescents (14-19 years) of both sexes, from technical high schools that participated from the Nutrition Education Project, in São Paulo, Sorocaba, Ribeirão Preto and Mogi das Cruzes cities. The response variables of the study were opinion about body weight and eating practice and the explanatory ones were reported fruits, vegetables and dairy products intake, age, sex, physical inactivity, making meal in front of the television, city and body mass index BMI. Poisson regression (p <0.05) was used to determine the association among these variables and the prevalence ratio among the categories of variables; McNemar test was calculated to compare the proportions derived from response variables (opinion about body weight and eating practice) simultaneously. For the calculations, Stata, version 10.1 was used. Results: 273 adolescents (60.4 per cent girls) participated from the study. Association was detected among opinion about body weight, BMI and sex, including physical inactivity for males and city for females. Opinion about eating practice was associated with sex, reported fruits and vegetables intake; including city for females and only fruits for males. It was found association between opinion about body weight and eating practice for females and for the adolescents. Conclusion: The opinion about body weight and opinion about eating practice manifested similarly and simultaneously for females and for the adolescents

Abstract:
On March 26, 2004, a six-year-old boy ran into an automatic revolving door when it was about to close. The door caught the boy’s head and killed him. The accident immediately caught the attention of mass media, police, government, and the people. Amidst all the opinions and talks about how dangerous these automatic revolving doors are and how safety measures should be installed, we organized a group of volunteers to analyze the dynamics of the accident to measure the forces, door velocity, acceleration, and if available, the driving current and voltage of the motors. The group not only studied the same door that caused the fatal accident but it also ran the same series of tests on a smaller size power-assisted revolving door, an automatic sliding door, an elevator door, a building shutter, a commuter train door, a bullet train door, an automatic sliding door on an automobile, and its power window. With the safety mechanisms disabled, we measured an impact force of 548kgf on a dummy head of a 3-year old when it was jammed between the revolving door edge and the door frame. The human scull of a child crushes at only 100kgf and our results show that in addition to this large automatic revolving door, the smaller size power-assisted revolving door, the shutter, and manually closing automobile doors generate forces that exceed this limit. These doors inherit the danger of causing fatal accidents.

Abstract:
How does the communication of information affect the pipeline industry? People are becoming more aware of the pipeline industry and how it may affect individuals and landowners in the future. Corporations are producing commuications tools to alleviate the lack of knowledge and the hidden value of energy pipelines. This case study examines two projects: “Passing through Edson” examines a winter pipeline construction job in Edson, Alberta. The story is told by the people on the job. We examine the environmental issues, economic impact, Native employment, and winter construction techniques. The “Boy Chief” video examines the impact of an archaeological dig on the prairies. In this program we have insight into the aboriginal history of the area and how the pipeline company is helping people learn more about the Native way of life. The paper examine how communication tools like these, allow employees access to information when communicating to stakeholders.

Abstract:
The propositus, a 2 1/2 year old boy, was found to have splenomegalia at a routine control, but was otherwise in good health. He had in his neonatal period had osteomyelitis in his left leg, compl. with sepsis and shock. His mother had had DVT in her left leg extending to the iliac vein in the puerp. Investigation of the boy and his mother showed a decrease of plasma plasminogen to about 50% of the normal both when assayed immunochem. and amidolyt. using the chrom. subst. S-2251 after activ. with SK. The same was found when using UK as the plasminogen activ. Investigation of 23 other members of the family showed another 11 members with the same defect but none of them had had DVT. The defect was inherited in an autosomally dominant way. Plasminogen was purified from plasma withdrawn from the mother of the propositus on a lysine Sepharose column. A normal aff. to lysine was noticed but the yield was low (43 mg/l plasma). The purified plasminogen showed the same spec, activ. as normal plasminogen purified in the same way (8.4 CTA u/mg and 8.7 CTA u/mg resp.). SDS-PAGE and crossed immunoelectrophoresis in tandem with the patient’s plasminogen and normal purified plasminogen revealed no difference between the two plasminogens. Furthermore, the same kinetic constants for the activ. by UK were found for both plasminogens. It is concluded that the plasminogen found in this family with a low incidence of DVT seemed to be normal. The reduced plasma concentration may be the result of a decreased synthesis of a normal protein.

Abstract:
A 17-year-old boy with a life long history of easy bruising, epistaxis, subcutaneous hematoma and prolonged bleeding time from minor injuries, was initially diagnosed as having von Willebrand's disese, when he presented epistaxis at 2 years of age. Since his initial diagnosis, he has been treated with cryoprecipitate on many occasions to correct his bleeding tendency. The laboratory findings in the patient and his family are summarized in the table. The patient's mother, father and one brother have not complained any bleeding tendency.Multimeric analysis of vWF using SDS agarose gels showed absence of large multimer in the patient's plasma, decreased large multimer in mother's and brother's plasma. When the patient's PRP was tested for aggregation and release of ATP by ADP, epinephrine and collagen, using lumi aggregometer, platelet aggregation was abnormal as shown by disaggregation and almost no ATP activity was detectable in the supernatant. ATP contents of patient's and father's platelet was about 50% of normal platelets. Washed platelets of the patient in normal plasma did not aggregate normally, but washed normal platelets in the patient's plasma aggregate normally. No inhibitor of vWF could be demonstrated in the patient's plasma. Clot retraction was normal. These findings suggest that our patient has inherited vWD from materal side and the platelet aggregation defect, probably a kind of storage pool disease, from the paternal side of the family.

Abstract:
Anyone, of any gender, at any age, can leak urine or faeces. What would you do if it happened to you? Imagine if you’d woken up this morning and you’d wet the bed. What would you do? Have a wash, put on clean clothes, change the bedding and put it in a washing machine? You may go to the shop and buy an incontinence pad. And perhaps if you knew that there was help available for leaking urine you’d make an appointment to see a doctor next week and then just carry on with the rest of your day, dignity intact. Now imagine if you’d woken up this morning and you’d wet the bed. But to have a wash, or clean your clothes and bedding, you’d have to walk for an hour to collect water. Imagine you are frightened to walk there alone, the path is steep and you struggle to use the hand pump. Even if you did get water, you don’t have enough soap so the smells would linger anyway. And after all that effort, you have nothing to wear to soak up urine if it happens again. What if you didn’t know that leaking urine was common, and you spent the rest of the day worried about your health and too embarrassed to go to work in case people could tell? What if you were worried that your partner would hit you again for making a mess so you had very little to drink all day for fear of it happening again? What can you do to support people living with incontinence? To start, we need to talk about leaks.

Abstract:
Incontinence is the medical term used to describe the involuntary loss of urine or faeces. Women, men, girls, boys and people of all genders, at any age, can experience incontinence. A person with incontinence can experience leakage occasionally, regularly or constantly; and leakage can happen at any time, day or night. A person may also experience leakage of urinary or faecal matter due to not being able to get to the toilet in time or not wanting to use the toilet facilities available. This is known as social, or functional, incontinence. In many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) understanding of incontinence is still in its early stages: the term ‘incontinence’ may not be known, knowledge of the condition is rare, and the provision of support is lacking. Those who experience incontinence may face stigma due to having the condition, and this may affect their willingness or confidence to talk about it. There is a need to better understand incontinence in LMICs, and how best to support people living with the condition to improve their quality of life. This requires having conversations with individuals that experience the condition, and with individuals who care for those who do: they will have the lived experiences of what it means to live with incontinence practically, emotionally and socially for them and their families. Living with incontinence can have a range of impacts on the people living with it and their carers. These include increased stress and distress; additional needs for water and soap; and restricted ability to join in community activities, school or work. Living with incontinence can also lead to a range of protection issues. The potential challenges that people face may be quite diverse and may vary between people and households. The checklist below, and corresponding page references to ‘Incontinence: We Need to Talk About Leaks’ can be used to increase your understanding of incontinence and the options available to support people living with the condition; and provide guidance on how to have conversations to understand how best to support people living with incontinence in your area.
