Abstract:

Empathy and memory are two central aspects that make us human. In the following work, I combined these two areas with genetics and asked how they would interrelate against the background of age. At study, 28 younger and 32 older adults went through an item recognition/source memory paradigm with neutral and emotional (i.e., angry) faces. Dispositional empathy was measured using the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) and the Empathy Quotient (EQ). Further, 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from mainly oxytocin receptors (OXTR) were extracted. Results revealed that older adults had a l

Abstract:

The older female segment plays a critical role in society's fabric, as women past retirement volunteer a significant amount in their communities and provide essential caregiving to family members and friends. Moreover, older females outnumber older males and with the baby boomer population aging over 65, this segment is becoming more influential. Yet there is surprisingly little marketing research that focuses on this older female segment, their lived experiences, and their well-being. Working within the tradition of consumer culture theory, this project is an ethnographic exploration of the R

Abstract:

Despite a marked increase in the use of digital games among older persons, there is insufficient research that provides insight into the gaming experiences of this population. A major demographic shift within the senior gaming market has ushered in a new perspective on the use of digital games as a tool for physical and cognitive health, and improved socialization. It is proposed that individual notions of play, which are developed over the life course, influence digital game play engagement and interaction preferences, and contribute to well-being. This study explored how self-perceptions of

This thesis explores physical and social aspects of playing tabletop games physically versus remotely. It also examines the experiences of contemporary players of tabletop games, with focus placed on play during the COVID-19 pandemic. The report begins with an explanation of tabletop games, including social and material aspects as examined in previous work. To explore the thesis’ problem area, several tabletop game players were interviewed, resulting in a number of recurring themes. The interview results suggest that social rituals and material aspects of tabletop games are highly important to

Abstract:

<p> During leaf senescence nutrients are mobilized towards newly developing vegetative and reproductive structures. The IAOx pathway that produces auxin and defense molecules [indole glucosinolates (IGs) and camalexin] is up-regulated during senescence. To investigate the role of the IAOx metabolites we isolated two independent cyp79B2/cyp79B3 double mutants, which are deficient in IGs and camalexin and had reduced auxin levels. Chlorophyll, protein, and gene expression data indicate that cyp79B2/cyp79B3 mutants display early leaf senescence. Furthermore, leaves accumulated higher levels of hy

Abstract:

Playing is a common part of children’s leisure time, and with children spending an increasing amount of this time in school-age childcare, in both Sweden and England, staff have the responsibility to facilitate play. The way play is conceptualised by staff may lead to different aspects of play being facilitated. These play practices are enabled and constrained by the arrangements of what this dissertation calls the school’s play practice architecture, i.e. where play practices are intertwined with a school’s practice architecture. The aim of the research was to explore how staff talked about p

Abstract:

The demographics in the United States continue to show a dramatic increase of immigrant students who speak a language other than English at home (Smitherman; U.S. Census); however, schooling ideologies and practices continue to treat developing bilingualism as a detriment to students entering school rather than a resource (Canagarajah; Heath; Matsuda; Valdés et al; Richardson; Santa Ana; Street). In this case study, conducted in the “Nuevo New South” (Mohl; Rich and Miranda), I observed how bilingual music and play in school-like settings can promote bilingual literacy practices and bridge gap

The estimated prevalence of Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in 2007 was approximately 6,5-6,6 per 1000 children. Symbolic play is, one of the diagnostic criteria in the cases of ASD. In preschool, symbolic play is predominant form of play. However, children with ASD show lower levels of symbolic play. It takes them more time to start with symbolic play and have problems in performance of it. Nevertheless, they might even never develop symbolic play skills. The need for interventions targeting symbolic play of children with ASD is increasing. Generally speaking, there appear to be very limited n

In Australia, residential aged care facilities are increasingly becoming the place of care and site of death for older people with complex chronic illnesses. Consequently, it is becoming ever more relevant for these facilities to provide appropriate ongoing care as well as end of life care for this growing group of people. Since most related research to date has focused on end-of-life care in high-level care nursing home settings, little is currently known about the use of a palliative approach in caring for older people with complex needs living in hostel settings in Australia.

Abstract:

De acuerdo a los estudios sociales, la vida cotidiana ha reducido las oportunidades de que los niños puedan disfrutar del juego libre, lo cual a largo plazo, puede perjudicar su desarrollo social y físico. La investigación en Interacción Persona Ordenador, ha abordado ésta cuestión de como usar sensores y reactores para estimular el juego libre, por ejemplo interviniendo los parques infantitles u objetos de uso compartido con estas tecnologías. Esta disertación explora el proceso de diseño y evaluación the accesorios digitales para ponerse, diseñados para motivar el juego libre entre los niños

Abstract:

This research study seeks to explore preschool teachers’ perspectives about using play as a means to promote children’s learning in preschool settings serving children aged four to six years. This qualitative research study is guided by four research questions, (1) how do teachers in selected preschools in Singapore define play as a means to learning? (2)What do preschool teachers see as the benefits of play as a means to learning? (3) How do preschool teachers see their roles in promoting learning through play? (4)What do preschool teachers see as obstacles to using play as a means to promote

Abstract:

The heat development that occurs due to the hydration of cement is important to consider during casting of massive concrete structures. By using computer programs that are based on finite element methods (FEM), simulations can be performed on the heat- and strength development. In this project, a FE program called ConTeSt has been used in order to predict the temperature- and strain development in a massive concrete wall. If the potential risks in a concrete structure are evaluated before casting, economical savings, including a better casting plan could be obtained. The structure under invest
