Full textAbstract:
The results of a first cross-cultural study on adult crying in 30 countries including Peru are presented. Vingerhoets et al. (1997) from the University of Tilburg have analyzed motives, tendencies and frequency of crying, emotions and feelings that provoke crying, as well as differences and similarities among countries and sexes. Results show that women have a tendency to cry more frequently and intensively than men. It has also been noted that, in certain countries, there is a link between crying in women and their monthly period.Se presentan los resultados de un primer estudio transcultural del llanto del adulto que comprende 30 países, entre los que se encuentra el Perú. Vingerhoets et al. (1997) de la Universidad de Tilburg, Holanda, analizan las causas, tendencia y frecuencia del llanto, emociones y sentimientos que inducen al llanto, diferencias y similitudes entre los países y los sexos. Los autores encuentran que las mujeres tienden a llorar con más frecuencia e intensidad que los varones, advirtiendo que en algunos países las mujeres establecen mayor relación entre la tendencia al llanto y el ciclo menstrual que en otros.

Full textAbstract:
The Crying Wave is a twenty minute music composition for an amplified ensemble of fifteen instruments combined with a prerecorded electroacoustic audio component and live signal processing. The composition explores the use of fundamental electroacoustic music techniques such as additive, subtractive, and granular synthesis as models for the creation and manipulation of materials and structure in both the instrumental and electroacoustic aspects of the work. Two series of harmonies underlie the piece and serve as both harmonic and melodic resources. Procedures including additive/subtractive durations, palindrome and canon, the Fibonacci series, and antiphonal alternation of instrumental groups are used throughout the composition to provide structural coherence. The MIDI data processing software Max is employed to control a number of aspects of the work during performance, including playback of prerecorded electroacoustic audio segments on compact disc, changes of effects algorithms for digital signal processing modules, and the generation of a click track for synchronization. The following dissertation presents an analysis of the work in terms of the aforementioned concepts and techniques.

Pai, Chih-Yun. "Automatic Pain Assessment from Infants’ Crying Sounds." Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6560.
Full textAbstract:
Crying is infants utilize to express their emotional state. It provides the parents and the nurses a criterion to understand infants’ physiology state. Many researchers have analyzed infants’ crying sounds to diagnose specific diseases or define the reasons for crying. This thesis presents an automatic crying level assessment system to classify infants’ crying sounds that have been recorded under realistic conditions in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) as whimpering or vigorous crying. To analyze the crying signal, Welch’s method and Linear Predictive Coding (LPC) are used to extract spectral features; the average and the standard deviation of the frequency signal and the maximum power spectral density are the other spectral features which are used in classification. For classification, three state-of-the-art classifiers, namely K-nearest Neighbors, Random Forests, and Least Squares Support Vector Machine are tested in this work, and the experimental result achieves the highest accuracy in classifying whimper and vigorous crying using the clean dataset is 90%, which is sampled with 10 seconds before scoring and 5 seconds after scoring and uses K-nearest neighbors as the classifier.

Pendleton, Kassidy. "FEMALE ADOLESCENT’S EXPERIENCE OF THEIR THERAPIST CRYING IN THERAPY." UKnowledge, 2015. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/hes_etds/24.
Full textAbstract:
Therapist self-disclosure is an important topic and the literature explains that how a therapist responds to their client can greatly impact the treatment process and therapeutic alliance. One of the ways that therapists respond to their clients is through crying. Although there have been studies that conclude that the majority of therapists do in fact cry in therapy, no studies have tried to understand how this response is perceived by clients. This qualitative study aims to understand the client’s perspective and how therapists’ crying affects the treatment process and therapeutic alliance. The informants in this study were adolescent females who attended a particular therapeutic treatment center. Data was collected through a series of semi-structured interviews. Data was analyzed through a grounded theory approach in which open, axial, and selective coding was used. The results from this study indicate that therapists crying in therapy can be perceived as both beneficial and detrimental in regards to the treatment process and therapeutic alliance.

There are few things as familiar to us as the experience of laughing and crying. Studying the two emotional expressions side to side is a way to see our species anew. A way of linking what we share with other mammals to that which sets us apart from all other species. Pulling laughing and crying onto center stage in all their theatrical glory creates a scene of which philosophers and anthropologists have long dreamt: a vision that is uniquely human. Laughing and crying are in many ways physiological and psychological opposites, but these complex behaviors are not exact reversals of the same bodily processes. Nor have researchers told me that they are connected in any biologically relevant way. But zooming out of narrow scientific definitions, digging into our evolutionary history, focusing on the disorders of laughing and crying, looking to the stage where actors and actresses come alive through their tears, there emerges a puzzle of psychology, neuroscience, evolutionary theory, and neurology slowly snapping together.

Henderson, Susan E. "Details, baby, details : a feminist criticism of The crying game." Virtual Press, 1994. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/902494.
Full textAbstract:
This study examined gender portrayals in the film, The Crvinq Game. The societal labels for gender, "masculine" and "feminine," are not negative in and of themselves. However, when they are coupled with stereotypes, their power to direct behavior and perception formation can rob people of their freedom to be simply "human." This study primarily focused upon the costs of maintaining, challenging, and abandoning gender role stereotypes as illustrated in The Crvinq Game. Sonja Foss's four-step approach to feminist criticism was used as a tool for examination of this film.By examining the appearances, attitudes, and behaviors of the four central characters in the film, two messages emerged. First, in all four cases, being of a feminine nature was less desirable than being of a masculine nature. Second, Neil Jordan, the film's director, prescribes that all people should transcend the boundaries of gender, and simply allow themselves and others to be human.Jordan's humanistic message also provides insight into expansion of rhetorical methods and theories. Feminist criticism and Queer theory could attempt to transcend the boundaries of gender, and work toward the inclusion of all non-traditional sex roles.Department of Speech Communication

Full textAbstract:
The Crying of the Blood is a collection of short stories with the two characters Mariah and Mary, born one hundred years apart, who deal with the challenges of life dealt them. Through descriptive language and the strong presence of place and setting, the author explores the under-girding strength of human nature in dealing with the external and internal pressures of the various forms of war and its aftermath. By examining the effects of the human condition through inherited and acquired traits passed to succeeding descendents of the characters, the author exposes the foibles of human nature. People live a specific way and repeat patterns of thinking and choosing without knowing why or stopping to consider the ensuing results of their actions. The collection of stories reveals the dark shadows of the Civil War that continue to shape the Southern culture and also the enduring strength and charm of the people and their traditions.This collection of stories is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are either a figment of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner.

Miller, Joyce Elaine. "Effects of musculoskeletal dysfunction in excessive crying syndromes of infancy." Thesis, Bournemouth University, 2014. http://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/21490/.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Excessive crying (or infant colic) is a common pain syndrome of infancy without any specific known aetiology or effective management and it is costly in both social and economic terms. Many cases result in long-term poor sleep, behavioural problems and parental stress. The biomechanical aspects of this condition lack adequate investigation despite its strong link with assisted and/or difficult births. Aims and Objectives: This research series aimed to (a) investigate the musculoskeletal health of infants with the condition of excessive crying; and (b) determine any relevance of chiropractic manual therapy in its management. Eight studies each with its’ own specific objectives investigated relevant research questions which were linked to the overall aims. Methods: The eight separate studies used the following methods: (1) demographic survey of paediatric patients attending a university-affiliated chiropractic clinic; (2) record study to determine the prevalence of side effects or adverse events in the patient group less than three years of age; (3) cohort study to substantiate sub-groups of excessively crying infants; (4) prospective observational study to develop a predictive model using likelihood ratios to forecast the presence of infant colic in a clinical population; (5) validation of a one page instrument to assess clinical outcomes against the gold standard crying diary; (6) randomised comparison trial of two types of chiropractic manual therapy for infant colic; (7) randomised controlled single blind trial to determine efficacy of blinding as well as chiropractic manual therapy in management of infant colic; and (8) case-control study to investigate long-term effects of chiropractic manual therapy into toddlerhood. Each of these studies was novel in the field and the first of its kind. Summary of Results: The studies in this thesis added to the body of knowledge through providing unique evidence for the following: (1) parents are willing to take their child to a chiropractic clinic for treatment and most often do so at the recommendation of a medical professional; (2) chiropractic manual therapy is safe for infants and young children; (3) the existence of distinctive / significantly different subgroups within excessively crying infant syndromes; and (4) chiropractic manual therapy is efficacious in the short-term for these cases as well as having durable utility, tested up to the time of toddlerhood. Conclusion: Chiropractic manual therapy was found to be an appropriate, safe and effective intervention for infant excessive crying. These findings may be clinically useful to provide an option for parents and families of afflicted infants and may lend some guidance to clinicians managing difficult cases. This research provides evidence that sub-grouping excessive crying cases may be important to improve outcomes and this may be helpful to develop inclusion/exclusion criteria in future trials. Further multidisciplinary studies are required to determine whether efficacy can be improved with the addition of cooperative care. Further studies should also focus on musculoskeletal effects of difficult births and the medically unexplained symptoms of crying and associated sleeping problems of infants that cannot be explained by any known injury.

Full textAbstract:
The observation that infants with troublesome crying improve quickly during hospital admission suggested that, if true, a common, quickly reversible, factor may operate. It was also observed in the histories from the parents of such infants that much work goes into trying to console them. It is hypothesised that this may lead to excessive/inappropriate stimulation and the improvement seen in hospital reflects a reduction/change in stimulation. Two studies were undertaken: 1) To validate the first observation subjects would have to be randomised to home or hospital management. Study 1 was a pilot study which indicated that too few carers were willing to be randomised but there was strong indication of improvement in mother's distress and in crying in hospital. In a group advised to reduce stimulation at home similar improvement justified the second study. The subjects enrolled for Study 1 were paired with age-matched controls. Biographical data and a measure of carers' distress in the two groups was compared. In this way, a description of the cohort was obtained. 2) Study 2 was a randomised controlled study of the effect of advice to reduce stimulation in addition to an empathic interview. Non-parametric statistical methods were used to measure change in crying and in carers' distress. The results indicated that the advice was helpful.

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted to replicate and extend previous research on infant caregiver behavior by demonstrating negative reinforcement of infant caregiver behavior in response to crying and teaching appropriate care responses under conditions of inconsolable crying. A computerized infant simulator was used to create a laboratory simulation of infant caregiving. In Study 1, participants were exposed to negative reinforcement conditions and an extinction condition. In the negative reinforcement condition, participants engaged in caregiving responses to escape from the cry. In the extinction condition, the cry was inescapable and two of three participants stopped engaging in the previously reinforced caregiving response. Data was collected on cumulative duration of caregiving responses. In Study 2, participants were taught a task analysis of appropriate care responses under conditions of inconsolable crying using behavior skills training. Data were collected on percentage of completed appropriate care responses. Results showed acquisition of appropriate care responses following training.

Full textAbstract:
A study has been made on the infant, Sarah, from age 1 month up to 18 months. The main interest of the study was concerned with her phonetic and phonological development in the stages of: Crying, Babbling and First Words. As to the first stage, Crying, I intended to give as much coverage as possible to my subject's crying in the first six months of her life, attempting to analyze and explain it, making clear any differences in structure and content. According to the contextual situations in which they were produced, cries were categorized as: 1) Call Cries, 2) Protest Cries, and 3) Non-call Cries. Vocalizations included in the above categories were tested according to their manner of phonation, temporal patterning and melodic patterning. As to the Babbling stage, Sarah's babblings were tested against the following issues: - Variety of sounds produced, - Relation between babbling and speech, - Are babblings meaningless and playful?, and - Function. Finally, the child's first words were tested against the following issues: - Appearance of the first word, - Holophrases, and - Overextension.

Full textAbstract:
This PhD investigates the perception of laughter and crying, two non verbal expressions of emotion, and how this perception is affected by the authenticity of the expressed emotions. Three separate approaches were used to address the perception of these stimuli by healthy participants: behavioural rating tasks, physiological responses recordings, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques. A series of behavioural ratings established that naïve listeners can reliably differentiate involuntary laughter from voluntary laughter, however, their performance was poorer when discriminating between involuntary crying and voluntary crying. In a larger set of behavioural ratings collected at the Science Museum (n=1723, age range = 3-76 years old), the ratings accuracy of voluntary and involuntary emotional vocalizations were both found to improve over age, however, the developmental trajectories of the voluntary expressions were shown to have a steeper slope throughout early adulthood than involuntary expressions. This difference may reflect a developmental learning process of perceiving voluntary emotional expressions through social interactions. The results of behavioural and developmental experiments consistently show that the involuntary crying was perceived as moe similar to voluntary crying than voluntary and involuntary laughter However the physiological responses (pupil size) shows a different pattern: listeners’ pupils were significantly more dilated for involuntary vocalizations than for voluntary ones, regardless of emotions. This discrepancy between physiological responses and behavioural ratings on crying suggests that social learning processes influence the perceivers’ judgments of involuntary crying, other than pure perceptual processes. In the fMRI study, we found that perceiving laughter and crying requires activation of similar areas in an emotional motor task as well as in a theory-of-mind task, suggesting that a shared interactive neural network of perceiving and interpreting emotions is involved. However, the cortical areas involved in differentiating voluntary and involuntary vocalizations are partly distinct for laughter and for crying, implying different neural networks may be responsible for the authenticity differentiation of different emotions. In summary, this thesis demonstrates the existence of emotion-specific differences in perception of non-verbal emotional vocalizations and these differences may be due to developmental factors. Moreover, multiple neural networks were shown to play important roles in perceiving and differentiating positive and negative emotions.

Full textAbstract:
As an issue affecting the foreign relations of the United States and Britain, impressment has been given varying emphasis by different authors. This thesis is first a chronological outline of the events and correspondence that trace the subject. Beyond this basic delineation I will consider exactly how important impressment was to the two countries. James F. Zimmerman, in Impressment of American Seamen, posits that impressment was of paramount significance while other authors have attempted to down grade it into a status of utter inconsequence. This paper will show that the actual influence of impressment varied from one time, one set of circumstances, to another. Finally, my thesis will attempt to show more of the British side of the question, heretofore primarily ignored. It will be shown that members of the British government had what they felt to be perfectly valid reasons for continuing the practice, even though it eventually led to war. Chapter one serves as an introduction and explanation of the legal and historical backgrounds of impressment. The chapter also covers the first difficulties the two countries had over the issue, when England and France nearly went to war in 1787. These would serve as a model for the problems to come. Chapter two looks into the reasons behind the need for impressment and America's argument against it. Britain needed men to man the navy, America needed these same men for its merchant marine, out of this the basic conflict was born. Chapter three deals with American efforts to contain or eliminate impressment, mostly through acts of Congress to protect United States sailors. The problem America had with issuing proofs of citizenship and Britain's requirement that America issue them began to bring impressment to the fore. James Monroe was sent to London for talks of which impressment was to be a major topic. Chapter four covers the parallel careers of Monroe, United States envoy to London, and Anthony Merry, British minister to America. Both men had troubles dealing with what they felt were obstinate foreign governments and both mens' missions were, in the end, failures. Merry, feeling America to be inflating the reaction against impressment, paid little attention to the complaints and ended up having to deal with harsh anti-British legislation. Monroe's lack of success took longer and forms the basis of chapter five. This chapter details how the Jefferson administration and Monroe were incapable of getting Britain to give an inch on the subject. This culminated in the Treaty of 1806, which was silent on impressment. Chapter six shows how this lack of action set the stage for the encounter between the Chesapeake and the Leopard. This skirmish almost led to war and represents the peak of impressment's importance as an issue in foreign affairs. Chapter seven details other differences between the two countries as they slid toward the War of 1812. Impressment was but one of many causes of the conflict, though one which both sides contributed to keeping alive. Finally, chapter eight covers war-time diplomacy and shows how impressment quickly became the only subject the two countries were fighting over. Later actions on America's part reveal that impressment, as a single complaint, was no longer considered a war-worthy topic, or even much of a cause for complaint.

In the present essay we examine the major claims for a new crisis in LIS education and conclude that the data do not support most of the popular criticisms made of this field. Instead, the notion of crisis is best understood as indicative of a moment of change and an opportunity to significantly affect the long-term future of the field.

Our experiment is aimed at understanding how employee reactions to negative feedback are received by the feedback provider and how employee gender may play a role in the process. We focus specifically on the act of crying and, based on role congruity theory, argue that a male employee crying in response to negative performance feedback will be seen as atypical behavior by the feedback provider, which will bias evaluations of the employee on a number of different outcome variables, including performance evaluations, assessments of leadership capability, and written recommendations. That is, we expect an interactive effect between gender and crying on our outcomes, an effect that will be mediated by perceived typicality. We find support for our moderated mediation model in a sample of 169 adults, indicating that men who cry in response to negative performance feedback will experience biased evaluations from the feedback provider. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Smith, Suzanne. "Is there something wrong? : NHS Direct nurse practice in helping parents cope with crying babies." Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2008. http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/6952/.
Full textAbstract:
Since the late 1990s there has been an increasing focus on parenting ability, support and education which is reflected in policy, practice and research in the UK. This research analyses how nurses might intervene to provide this support, specifically in relation to crying baby and the role of nurses at NHS direct. It involves collection and analysis of data from NHS Direct call data in 2002, and solo focus group data in 2006. Within the wider tradition of grounded theory, the methodology includes use of discourse and thematic analytical approaches. The research analyses the means by which NHS Direct nurses make different use of the algorithms and organisational protocols to make decisions and give advice to parents with crying babies, how their clinical knowledge and experience influences these decisions, and how nurses explore parents’ ability to cope. This is seen within the organisational context of NHS Direct, a 24 hour government funded telephone service described as both a triage service and an advice/helpline service. Findings from the study indicate a degree of tension between the essentially humanistic nursing culture and the highly scripted, protocol driven rules based system that underpins NHS Direct. Despite this tension, nurses will sometimes combine their knowledge with that of the algorithm where the call is involved with eliminating emergencies. The same synthesis of knowledge is not apparent with the knowledge contained in the algorithm regarding non-medical, nonemergency, value-sensitive issues relating to parental coping with excessive infant crying. Findings suggest that NHS Direct nurses use the ‘crying baby’ algorithm differently and this variance is influenced by experience and familiarity with the algorithm. Adherence to the algorithm is perceived by nurses as safe in relation to the medical questions which exclude emergencies. The non-medical elements of the algorithm, which include prompting the nurse to ask about parent coping ability and the possibility of shaking their child, are treated differently and it is considered safe to not ask, or ask around the question and to not offer the advice prompted by the decision aid software. The algorithm prompt to assess parental coping ability is rarely successful in encouraging the nurse to do so overtly. From these findings, consideration might be given to enhancing nurses’ knowledge, skills and confidence, supported with appropriate supervision, to provide effective intervention in relation to value sensitive, non-medical issues such as parental coping ability and in handling the uncertainty such issues may yield. Allied to this would be establishing clarity and recognition of the inherently different, but not opposing functions of providing a triage service and an advice/ helpline service.

EnglishPh.D.
Between the 1960s and 1990s, Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo both registered and attempted to influence the development of a mode of cultural perception organized around computer technologies that we can call a "cyberspatial paradigm." This cyberspatial worldview involves a dual ontology in which experienced reality is generated by a fundamentally different, hidden one. This way of organizing experience parallels the structure of cyberspace, in which a hidden set of data gives rise to a world that is experienced spatially. This dissertation examines the responses Pynchon and DeLillo mount to their shared perception that American culture is beginning to be organized around this paradigm. Their responses are particularly clear in The Crying of Lot 49 and White Noise and the dissertation focuses on those texts. While sharing many similarities in the way in which they respond to the cultural paradigm of cyberspace, Pynchon and DeLillo primarily differ in the degree to which they sense the interactive potential in the cyberspatial paradigm. Pynchon sees American culture as setting the stage for meaningful collaboration between individuals. This interactive potential in Pynchon's novels involves a search for a way out of the system of simulation and control, which raises the possibility of intervening in the creation of experienced reality in a way that--since it is fundamentally cooperative in nature--skirts the hegemonic demands of a dominant, totalitarian culture. However, this collaboration comes at the cost of the individual. The collaboration of individuals dissolves into a totalitarian demand for obedience. DeLillo, on the other hand, doesn't see escape from the system of simulation and control as a viable possibility. Neither does he see collaboration along the fringes of society as possible in a culture that has become so adept at absorbing the fringe into the mainstream of corporate profitability. The task for his characters, then, is to find a way to live within the constraints of simulated, virtual reality. In the process, his characters create themselves as individuals, carving out a small pocket of space in which they can create their own universe without giving in to the demands of the system. The two authors represent opposing impulses that are connected in a cyclical way: Pynchon's impulse creates a collaborative space, but, since this space is inevitably taken over by powerful others, it results in the dissolution of the individual that originally made this collaborative space possible. DeLillo's impulse starts from the end point of the Pynchonian one: the individual has become nothing more that what the marketing departments of corporate America has said it is. By going deeper into this unsettling reality, DeLillo demonstrates how the individual can re-emerge under these circumstances, thereby creating the sorts of individuals capable of engaging in Pynchonian collaboration.

Full textAbstract:
To the Englishmen of the sixteenth century the structure of the universe seemed clear and logical. God had created and ordered it in such a way that everyone and everything had a specific, permanent place which carried with it appropriate duties and responsibilities. Primary among these requirements was obedience to one's betters, up the Chain of Being, to God. Unity demanded uniformity; obedience held the universe together. Within this context, the excommunication of Elizabeth Tudor in 1570 both redefined and intensified the strain between the crown and the various religious groups in the realm. Catholics had become traitors, or at least potential traitors, with the stroke of a papal pen.

Little is known about the psychosocial needs of trans individuals as they make the surgical transition to their preferred gender. This qualitative study explored the lived experiences of 14 Australian trans men and women, aged between 25 and 78 who had undergone sex reassignment surgery to determine if their needs were met. The key findings suggest that while the surgery met their personal needs, there are inconsistencies in the level of care and support provided at the medical level throughout the transition process. In legal terms, the complex legislative framework does little but increase the psychosocial burden of Australian trans people.

Full textAbstract:
Thirty nonparent adults were assigned to either a High CAP group (n=15) or a Low CAP group (n=15) based upon their scores on the Child Abuse Potential Inventory. Each subject's heart rate, skin conductance level and diastolic blood pressure were assessed while listening to a series of 4 high- and 4 normal-pitched infant cries. Subjects then rated the same cries on 6 perceptual scale items. Results indicated that the adults in the High CAP group showed a reliably higher resting heart rate following cry presentation and tended to respond with more heart rate change than adults in the Low CAP group. Adults in the High CAP group also responded to the normal-pitched cries with a higher skin conductance level than the Low CAP adults. Irrespective of CAP group, listeners' skin conductance level became attenuated in response to the normal-, but not the high-pitched infant cry sounds.
In addition, all listeners perceived the high-pitched cry sounds as more aversive, arousing, distressing, urgent and sick sounding than the normal-pitched cry sounds. Results are discussed in terms of the importance of examining both adult and child characteristics that may mediate individual responsivity to infant cues.M.S.

Full textAbstract:
An unknown fraction of what can be known is inaccessible to the verbalising which has otherwise made rational science so dramatically successful. The lack of a verbal currency has not extinguished these domains but their relatively diminished access has pushed them into obscurity. Despite its relative success, rational science has limits and obscuring the non-rational has foreclosed on searching it for contributions to the epistemology of human and natural phenomena. Following Vanelli (2001)*, my thesis pushes against the narrow perspective that rational science is the only legitimate mechanism for constructing new knowledge. I do this by using frameworks of comparative anthropology and psychoanalysis to interpret ‘unexplained early infant crying’ and ‘infant directed speech’, two prosaic and universal human behaviours. These two phenomena have been abundantly studied through the prism of rational science but neither has been adequately explained. I first survey the dimensions of unexplained early infant crying such as its susceptibility to cultural variation and resistance to rational explanation. That it is a human universal suggests it maybe a physical manifestation of a more deeply seated phenomenon and so I broaden the field of inquiry from that of observation of extant behaviour to human phylogeny. In so doing, I use the psychoanalytic frameworks of Winnicott and Grotstein to situate the so called “primitive agonies” as a consequence of the hominin obstetric dilemma purported to result from the habitual bipedalism by Ardipithecus ramidus ~4.4 mya. Through this synthesizing of the evidence from evolutionary anthropology, primatology and psychoanalysis, I show how the temporal, diurnal and synchronic profiles of early infant crying, including cultural variations, all become explicable as an outcome of the infant’s experience of their primitive agonies. These have no contemporary causation but emerged with the emergence of the hominin mind. A similar survey of infant directed speech, shows how unlikely it is to be a derived behaviour and that its universality again hints at deeper evolutionary roots. And so again through synthesizing phylogeny with the psychoanalytic models of Bion and Melanie Klein, I argue that premature birth of hominins exposes them to negative consequences of using that which Bion labelled in humans, the alpha-function, but which Castoriadis exposes to us as an existentially vital mental function of all sentient life. Infant directed speech can then be argued as the primary sensory stimulus to facilitate the self-organisation of the specific neural architecture from which this property of mind emerges. By engaging with the vast store of that which can be known but which is inaccessible to rational science, these seemingly trivial instances of human mental neoteny become significant knowledge pathways into the foundation of the human mind. Keywords: Hominin evolution, early infant crying, infant directed speech, primitive agonies, psychoanalytic anthropology, Winnicott, Bion, Grotstein, Castoriadis

South Africa is a land of extraordinary beauty, ecological diversity and abundance. However, the land that God has entrusted to us is crying for justice. During the years of struggle against apartheid several ecumenical documents addressed the issues of the day. The Letter to the People of South Africa (1968), the Kairos Document (1985), the Evangelical Witness in South Africa (1986), the Road to Damascus (1989) and the Rustenburg Declaration (1990) may be mentioned in this regard. In the same ecumenical and prophetic spirit, this document seeks to address the escalating destruction of our environment that results in immense suffering for people, for other living species and for our land as a whole. In responding to this challenge Christians in South Africa may recognise, acknowledge and learn from the many voices and contributions on environmental concerns coming from all over the world — from churches and ecumenical movements, from the Earth Charter movement, from other religious traditions and from environmental organisations. The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) - 26 August to 4 September 2002, Johannesburg - also challenges the churches in South Africa to respond to these concerns.1st ed

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Studier visar att spädbarnskrik är påfrestande för föräldrar och tillgång till stöd kan bidra till att föräldrar klarar denna påfrestning bättre. Distriktssköterskan inom barnhälsovården i Sverige har en unik möjlighet att ge stöd till föräldrar, få studier beskriver dock vad distriktssköterskan ger för stöd till föräldrar som lever med just ett skrikigt spädbarn. Syfte: Att beskriva distriktssköterskans stöd till föräldrar som lever med ett skrikigt spädbarn. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ ansats där semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med tio distriktssköterskor. Intervjumaterialet analyserades sedan med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Vid analysen av intervjumaterialet framkom tre kategorier och åtta underkategorier som bildar studiens resultat. Utreda skrik inkluderade två underkategorier: att hjälpa föräldrarna bena upp skriksituationen samt att utesluta fysisk sjukdom hos spädbarnet. Hantera skrik inkluderade tre underkategorier: att informera om spädbarns behov, att ge råd om åtgärder som kan minska skriket samt att rekommendera avlastning. Stärka föräldrarna inkluderade tre underkategorier: att vägleda föräldrarna att hitta egna hanteringsstrategier, att bekräfta föräldrarnas känslor samt att ge positiv förstärkning. Slutsats: Den påfrestning spädbarnsskrik har på föräldrar ställer krav på att distriktssköterskan inom barnhälsovården i Sverige ger stöd till föräldrarna för att de ska ges förutsättningar att kunna skydda och ta hand om sitt spädbarn. Det är dessutom avgörande att verksamheten säkerställer möjligheten för distriktssköterskan att vara tillgänglig för att detta stöd överhuvudtaget ska kunna ges. Ytterligare studier krävs för att kunna fastställa att föräldrar som lever med ett skrikigt spädbarn erhåller det stöd de faktiskt önskar och är i behov av.Background: Studies show that infant crying is stressful for parents and access to support can help parents cope with this stress better. The district nurse in Swedish child health care has a unique opportunity to provide support. Few studies, however, describe what kind of support the district nurse give to these parents. Aim: To describe the district nurse’s support for parents with a crying infant. Method: The study has a qualitative approach in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten district nurses. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Findings: The analysis of the interviews revealed three categories and eight subcategories that form the result of the study. Investigating the crying included two subcategories: to help parents analyse the cry situation and to exclude physical illness in the infant. Managing infant crying included three subcategories: to inform about infants needs, to advice on measures that can reduce infant crying and to recommend relief. Strengthening parents included three subcategories: to guide the parents to find their own coping strategies, to confirm the parents feelings and to give positive reinforcement. Conclusion: The stress infant crying has on parents requires the district nurse in Swedish child health care to provide support to parents to enable them to protect and care for their infant. It is also important to ensure that it is possible for the district nurse to be available in order for this support at all to be given. Further studies are needed in order to make sure that parents with a crying infant actually receive the support they want and need.

Full textAbstract:
Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de JaneiroO objetivo desta tese consistiu em saber se os sentidos compartilhados e os significados construídos sobre o choro das crianças nas creches públicas do município de Juiz de Fora, durante as sessões reflexivas com as coordenadoras/diretoras, produzem espaços de reflexão teórica sobre as práticas capazes de criar uma prática de reflexão. Pelo tipo de problema formulado optei por trabalhar a perspectiva metodológica a partir do paradigma crítico de pesquisa, concretizado na modalidade de pesquisa crítica de colaboração, com enfoque sócio-histórico-cultural. Isto se justifica porque busco compreender o lugar do choro das crianças nas práticas das coordenadoras/diretoras, procurando identificar se a consciência das ações institucionalizadas pode produzir mudanças nas práticas no interior das creches. O corpus discurso da tese constitui-se de 10 sessões reflexivas, cujos dados produzidos foram organizados e analisados a partir da perspectiva teórico-metodológica dos Núcleos de Significação de Aguiar e Ozella (2006). O campo teórico está circunscrito no diálogo entre Vigotski, Bakhtin e Wallon. Isso porque estes autores contribuíram, sobremaneira, para a discussão sobre sentido, significado; linguagem e consciência, zona de desenvolvimento proximal, além do estudo da emoção, em especial, sobre a manifestação do choro da criança no contexto da creche. A arquitetura dos Núcleos de Significação revelou a necessidade de aprofundar questões relacionadas aos diversos olhares para o choro da criança; estratégias para lidar com o choro a partir da visão das coordenadoras/diretoras; o controle/descontrole/não controle do choro; a inter-relação do choro, da creche e da família e, finalmente, a reflexão teórico-prática como possibilidade de reverberação no cotidiano da creche. As análises confirmaram três premissas básicas: a) que a emoção constitui-se como o primeiro recurso de interação com o outro, que antecede a própria representação simbólica e por isso é valioso o aprofundamento deste assunto em cursos de formação; b) quando tornamos a cena vivida mais clara, essa clareza pode trazer elementos para outras possíveis intervenções, para outros possíveis diálogos sobre o choro da criança. A perspectiva de transformação pode acontecer exatamente no diálogo entre o cotidiano, a história e espaços de reflexão; c) que o fundamental, nos contextos de formação, é não focalizar apenas o conteúdo a ser transmitido sem possibilidade de reflexão sobre o próprio contexto a que se destina porque é pelo possível distanciamento e necessário estranhamento das práticas rotineiras, esporadicamente ou quase nunca questionadas, que a reflexão e a crítica se estabelecem.
The objective of this thesis is to find out whether shared feelings and constructed meanings for childrens crying in public nursery schools of the city of Juiz de Fora, during reflection sessions with coordinators/principals, produce theoretical reflection spaces on practices that may create a reflection practice. Based on the type of problem formulated, I chose to work the methodological perspective from a critical research paradigm achieved in the critical collaboration research modality with a social-historical-cultural focus. This is justified by the fact that I seek to understand the place childrens crying occupies in the practices of coordinators/principals, and try to identify if awareness of institutionalized actions can produce changes in a nursery schools internal practices. The thesis discourse corpus consists of 10 reflecting sessions; all resulting data was organized and reviewed from the Aguiar and Ozella (2006) Signification Nuclei theoretical-methodological perspective. The theoretical field is included in the dialogue among Vigotski, Bakhtin, and Wallon. This is because these authors have immensely contributed to the discussion on meaning, significance, language and conscience, the proximal development zone, as well as the study of emotion, especially on the manifestation of childrens crying in the context of a nursery school. The Signification Nuclei architecture revealed the necessity to go deeper into these questions relating to the different outlooks on childrens crying; strategies to deal with the crying from the view of coordinators/principals; the control/uncontrol/non-control of crying; the interrelation of crying, nursery school, and family, and finally the theoretical-practical reflection as a possibility to reverberate in a nursery schools everyday life. Analyses confirmed three basic premises: a) that emotion constitutes the first interaction resource with the other, which antecedes the symbolic representation itself and therefore it is of great value to go deeper into this subject in educational courses; b) that when we make the experienced scene clearer, this clearness can bring elements for other possible interventions, for other possible dialogues on childrens crying. The transformation perspective can happen exactly in the dialogue between everyday life, history and reflection spaces; c) that the fundamental aspect, in the context of education, is not to focus only on the context to be transmitted without the possibility of reflection on the target context itself, because it is through the potential withdrawal from and necessary strangeness of routine practices, sporadically or almost never questioned, that reflection and critique are established.

Studiens syfte var att klargöra och redovisa för de främjande och försämrande faktorer som är betydelsefulla för asylsökande barns psykosociala välmående. Enligt vår förförståelse som vi erhållit genom arbetslivserfarenhet och utbildning lever de asylsökande barnen under svåra omständigheter och vi ansåg det viktigt att undersöka de påverkande faktorerna. Den metod som användes var en kunskapsöversikt som tolkades hermeneutiskt. Kunskapsöversikten baserades på 10 primärstudier och resultaten visade på följande främjande faktorer; skola, föräldrar/familj, adekvat information gällande beslutsprocessen, en väl fungerande barnpsykiatrisk vård, sociala nätverk och fritidsaktiviteter. De försämrande faktorerna var; bristfällig information och lång väntan under asylprocessen, föräldrars ohälsa, okunskap hos professionella om barnens lagstadgade rättigheter samt osäkra boendevillkor. Studiens resultat analyserades utifrån teorin Känsla av sammanhang. Resultatet ligger i linje med tidigare forskning."Outside I´m smiling, but inside I´m crying" - A litterary review of factors affecting the asylum seeking children´s psychosocial health. The study´s purpose was to examine the promoting and detoriating factors that are of importance for the psychosocial well-being of children seeking asylum. According to our prior understanding which we have acquired through working experience and education the asylum seeking children lives under difficult circumstances. We therefor considered it important to investigate the factors that are influencing the children. The method used was a review of the litterature which was interpreted hermeneutically. The review was based on 10 primary studies and results showed promoting factors as; school, parents/family, adequate information regarding the decision-making, a well-functioning child mental health service, social networks and leisure activities. The deteriorative factors were; lack of information and delays during the asylum process, parents´illness, ignorance among professionals about children´s legal rights and unsafe housing conditions. Our results were analysed based on the theory Sense of coherence. The results are in line with previous research.

Full textAbstract:
In a world where the teacher’s voice is often ignored, this study focuses on the narratives of four Trinbagonian female primary school teachers. Using an interpretive (qualitative) epistemological perspective, I employ a life history methodology with narratives and poetry inquiries as part of the data collection, analysis and representation process. I use the theoretical lenses of feminism and postcolonialism to deconstruct the narratives. Through the lenses of feminism, the narratives reveal how the teachers’ identities, philosophies and pedagogies were shaped by feminine influences. Through the lenses of postcolonialism, they disclose how colonial factors are connected to the attitudes and behaviours in our post- colonial educational spaces. As the researcher, who was once herself a primary school teacher, I suggest that teachers can de-colonise their educational spaces through Freire’s (1973;1985) concept of ‘conscientisation’; that is, becoming aware that they have the power to transform their own lives, and those of their pupils/students. They can achieve such transformation by understanding the role that their colonial, historical past played in the development of present educational policies and practices. They should also comprehend how broader forces such as globalisation and other international interferences factor into the agencies that seek to keep them silent. I also submit that self-transformation must advance to philosophical and pedagogical changes and a willingness to break from a colonial stranglehold that makes them outwardly reticent while they scream inwardly.

Full textAbstract:
Thomas Pynchon’s novel, The Crying of Lot 49, details Oedipa Maas’ quest to unearth a possibly centuries-old clandestine mail system, the Trystero. Oedipa is immersed in notions of sociality and she must navigate the social landscape, searching for clues as to the existence of the social system. In her quest she assumes the role of a detective who searches for meaning, as she looks for clues and questions others who might potentially be privy to the secrets of the Trystero. She necessarily performs the process of symbolic exchange with those she encounters in an attempt at ascertaining some greater meaning within the world that she thinks might lie behind the Trystero. In this, the nature of the circulation of meaning is revealed as a cultural construct.

Full textAbstract:
Residential care provides for approximately 500 children and young people in Victoria each year, yet the dynamics of providing care within this system have received little scholarly attention, at least in part because it forms a much smaller part of the system than home-based care – in 2014 there were 5,900 children and young people in foster care and kinship care in Victoria. It has long been recognised that, despite being highly traumatised and vulnerable, young people placed in the care of the state are often exposed to further distress, instability and torment because of the nature of the out-of-home care system, and the available literature confirms that this is certainly true in residential care. Central to the care these young people receive, and their experience of being ‘in care’, are the agents through which the care is delivered: residential care workers. This thesis fills a gap in knowledge by examining the perspectives and practice of residential care workers, asking how they understand their ability to support good outcomes for children and young people within the restrictions of residential care settings which are far from perfect.
This thesis presents the findings of a qualitative study of interviews with twelve residential care workers that was guided by the principles of grounded theory. Led by the themes which emerged from these interviews, this project examines the pillars of good practice as residential care workers themselves understand them – both those which they can directly articulate, and those which are part of their tacit knowledge.
The findings point to three key areas. Using the framework of ‘care’ as provided by Tronto, the three areas that emerged were (i) caring about, (ii) taking care of and (iii) care giving. At the heart of these areas are the concepts of being rooted in genuine relationships, trauma informed practice and connection to the community. These findings point to guiding principles that residential care workers see as helping them to be effective in not only doing their job, but also in providing authentic and personal care to the young people.
