COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOREsta dissertação tem como objetivo estudar as interações estabelecidas entre crianças e adultos no cotidiano de uma escola pública de educação infantil no município do Rio de Janeiro, tendo como base uma metodologia que entende a criança como sujeito da pesquisa. Assim, a compreensão desse cotidiano leva em consideração o ponto de vista da criança, de como a criança se apropria desse espaço, o que ela faz, o que ela diz, entendendo a importância da brincadeira para a criança conhecer o mundo e reconhecer-se no mundo. A análise parte do diálogo com o pensamento de autores identificados com estudos sobre a infância, a criança e a educação infantil (Manoel Sarmento, Manoel Pinto, Sonia Kramer, Lev Vygotsky, Walter Benjamin, entre outros). O primeiro capítulo, fala dos encontros possíveis entre a educação infantil, a infância e a criança. O segundo capítulo apresenta uma descrição das escolhas, acertos e desacertos, nos quais se estruturaram os rumos desta pesquisa. E, o terceiro capítulo, traz uma análise do cotidiano da educação infantil a partir da observação das interações entre crianças e adultos e das crianças com seus pares. Assim, o presente estudo é um convite a olhar a infância a partir do que é específico da criança - seu poder de imaginação, fantasia, criação - entendendo as crianças como produtoras de cultura e que nela são produzidas.
This dissertation aims to study the interactions established between adults and children in the daily life of a public school for children in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, having as a basis a methodology that takes into consideration the child as the subject of the research. Thus, in this research the understanding of such a daily life takes into consideration the point of view of the children, how the children takes possession of the space, what he or she does and says, understanding the importance of the childhood play for the child to know his world and to recognize himself or herself in it. The analysis begins with a dialogue between the thoughts of authors who are identified with studies about infancy, the child and the childhood education (Manoel Sarmento, Manoel Pinto, Sonia Kramer, Lev Vygotsky, Walter Benjamin, among others). The first chapter talks about the possible encounters between childhood education, infancy and the child. The second one presents a description of the choices, discernment and mistakes, upon which the direction of the research were structured. The third chapter brings an understanding of the day-to-day life of the childhood education, starting from the observation of the interactions between adults and children and also between children with their pairs. The present study is an invitation to look at the child from the viewpont of those things that are typical of early childhood - the power of imagination, fantasy, creativity - that recognizes children as makers of culture and the culture that is produced in them.

Full textAbstract:
In general there is very little research on the coping styles that the fathers of children suffering from Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) use in order to cope with the day-to-day demands and stressors that result from their child‘s unique condition. The research study focuses on the fathers of children on the autistic spectrum and how they cope with the stressors resulting from their children‘s condition on daily basis. The study made use of Bronfenbrenner‘s Ecosystemic Theory of Human Development as the guiding theoretical framework in exploring and describing this specific research domain. This was a qualitative study and it was phenomenological, descriptive and analytical in nature. The reason for this was to hear the voices of the fathers and explore in-depth how they deal with the daily stressors resulting from their children‘s condition. Semi-structured interviews were utilised where the fathers were asked to respond to an open-ended question. The data that was obtained from the fathers was analysed by means of content analysis. The sample size of the study was small (n=5) and other limitations included a small number of previous studies done on the fathers of children on the autistic spectrum. The literature that is available that focused on the fathers of ASD children are often old and might possibly be out dated. However, this study aimed to hear the voices of the fathers of children on the autistic spectrum and explore how they cope with the daily stressors. Therefore, this study will contribute to the literature on the fathers of ASD children.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis applies a design programming process to users with multiple, severe disabilities. The goal is to increase independent functioning, self-efficacy and competency through design. The example used in this thesis is the design of day program facilities for adults with multiple, severe disabilities. The existing state of disability in the United States is analyzed. This includes the models of disabilities, historical aspects of the disability movement, the design professions' response, multiple disabilities and day program facilities. Hershberger's Value-Centered programming process is discussed. Its' determinants of architecture are applied to day program facilities and the consumers who attend such programs. Generalized values and issues are presented as background information and applied to a hypothetical design project for a day program facility. Future applications and research are recommended to facilitate the process of including users with special needs in the design programming process.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to present, analyse and explain the image of Millerites and Seventh-day Adventists in literature. Most of the authors studied are Americans, but for comparative purposes reference is also made to British and Australian writers. Millennialism and apocalypticism are pervasive themes in both American fiction and Adventist belief. An outline of these subjects is given by way of introduction to the thesis topic. Since Adventists are inexplicable without an understanding of the American culture in which they were nurtured, and by which they continue to be sustained, the literary works which mention them have been related to the historical context. Chapter I details the origin and development of both the Millerite movement and the Seventh-day Adventist Church from the 1840s to the late twentieth century. This provides the setting for and explanation of the religion. Chapter II deals with the "moral approach" which some writers have used in describing Adventists. Despite preaching imminent catastrophe as well as renewal and rebirth only through apocalypse, they have been seen as a virtuous people having moral integrity from which writers can draw important lessons. Chapter III describes the humorous, satirical approach to Adventists includinq recent postmodernist apocalyptic works which use irony as a comical method to depict the church and its followers. Adventists become figures of polarity and radica1 ambiguity. Chapter IV is a study of Adventists presented in literature as caricatures, stereotypes and parodies. Writers set out to debunk and ridicule. It is a convenient strategy for some authors who wish to avoid polemical discussion. Chapter V describes Black writers and Adventism. Over the past sixty years a number of African-American authors with a beckqround in Seventh-day Adventism have published their experience with this religious faith. All writers reject the religion and prefer to embrace the culture of their black heritage. The study silhouettes the difference and similarities among the various writers in the treatment of a single subject.

Smith, C. Julianne. "A Seal of Living Reality: The Role of Personal Expression in Latter-day Saint Discourse." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2006. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/1301.
Full textAbstract:
A personal mode of discourse is central to Latter-day Saint culture. This mode is both pervasive throughout the culture and significant within it. Two specific genres-the personal experience narrative and the personal testimony-illustrate the importance of this discourse mode in LDS culture. Understanding the LDS personal mode of discourse is essential to properly understanding Mormonism. The personal orientation in LDS discourse mirrors a tendency towards personal expression which has become common throughout Western culture. This tendency has important roots in the Protestant religious movement. In particular, Puritanism represents a significant point of origin for American personal expression. Such expression has been further encouraged by the democratic climate of America and has become an important part of American religious discourse. However, LDS personal discourse cannot be explained by merely reducing the Latter-day Saint tradition to outside influences. Latter-day Saints, while deriving influence from many points, have fashioned a tradition of using personal expression in their religious discourse which deserves independent consideration. Within Latter-day Saint culture, the LDS tradition of personal discourse has special significance because it draws upon a host of doctrinal and cultural associations that are religiously significant to Latter-day Saints. LDS doctrines about the necessity of personal revelation and the importance of pragmatic action legitimate a religious focus on personal experience. Likewise, cultural encouragements towards personal religious involvement and spiritual expression foster a culture of personal expression. Because of these philosophies and commitments, LDS audiences respond powerfully to personal discourse. A personal style of discourse is important in mediating authority in the LDS religion. Personal expression is a means through which official LDS doctrine is conveyed. This mode of expression also allows individual Latter-day Saints to locate their identities within the structure of the LDS religion. Culturally-encouraged genres of personal expression allow LDS speakers to enact their religious beliefs. These genres reinforce fundamental LDS doctrines and serve an acculturating function in LDS culture. They teach Latter-day Saints how to experience, interpret, and speak about the world in ways consistent with the Latter-day Saint community's doctrines and commitments.

Full textAbstract:
Este estudo trata das experiências contemporâneas de trabalhadores rurais em movimentos de resistência organizada, no Sudoeste e Oeste do Paraná, na faixa de fronteira do Brasil com o Paraguai e a Argentina, entre 1985 e 2001. Analisar as experiências de organização da vida cotidiana nos assentamentos rurais constitui o objetivo central. A investigação centrou-se nas contradições evidenciadas nos processos de organização das diferentes formas cooperativas e ou associativas e de como foram vividas pelos assentados, no fazer-se das experiências da vida cotidiana. Para a pesquisa optou-se pela escolha do Assentamento Vitória, localizado no município de Lindoeste, com 152 famílias assentadas, pelo Assentamento Terra Livre, localizado no município de Nova Laranjeiras, com 30 famílias assentadas, ambos vinculados ao MST, e pelo reassentamentos rurais dos expropriados da Usina Hidrelétrica de Salto Caxias, em vários municípios da região Oeste, com 612 famílias, vinculadas à Crabi/MAB. Na medida em que os assentamentos não constituem espaços sociais isolados, sua organização interna e formas de solidariedade e cooperação foram analisadas, de um lado, a partir do exame dos nexos entre as transformações da estrutura agrária no espaço regional, a articulação da resistência dos sem-terra e o surgimento dos assentamentos rurais, suas formas de organização da terra e do trabalho, no espaço regional em foco. E, de outro lado, como mediações produzidas nas relações sociais e como processos que integram a dinâmica de movimentos sociais, foram investigadas na relação com o fazer-se da luta pela terra a partir das múltiplas representações que os próprios assentados elaboram como memória de suas trajetórias de vida. Neste contexto, os assentamentos configuram ambiências: espaços sociais e de produção material da vida onde afloram pluralidade e heterogeneidade permeadas pelas relações de poder, por teias de contradições e de conflitos em torno de hábitos, valores e tradições. Neles evidenciam-se tanto as contradições de classe como as inerentes à formação da categoria social de assentados. Uma das principais materializa-se na possibilidade de os assentados retecerem o modo de vida de colono e a práxis em torno de um novo projeto de organização social da produção e de vida comunitária dos seus mediadores. As propostas de cooperação, sobretudo as formas coletivas da terra e do trabalho, são vistas pela maioria dos assentados como um limite à realização da liberdade e autonomia. O estudo mostra que, no esforço de implantar a cooperação nos assentamentos, a concepção dualista do MST, do coletivismo versus individualismo, levou à discriminação dos assentados individuais e revelou-se redutora da pluralidade de experiências de cooperação vivenciadas. A coletivização é estranha à sua cultura e constitui-se numa forma redutora do seu modo de vida e utopias. Tal desencontro evidencia a necessidade de valorizar a cultura dos assentados e de considerar suas tradições e valores na formulação de uma política de cooperação na luta. Revela também que é preciso superar práticas autoritárias e de subordinação política na relação entre mediadores e assentados, como uma das condições para uma nova qualidade de vida individual e coletiva, alicerçada nas diferentes formas de reciprocidade horizontal, na democracia e na cooperação.This study concerns contemporary experiences lived by rural workers in organized resistance movements in southwestern and western Paraná State, along the Brazilian border with Paraguay and Argentina, between 1985 and 2001. Its main objective is to analyze the organization of settlers day-to-day living in rural settlements. The investigation focused the evidenced contradictions in the processes of organizing different cooperative and/or associative efforts, and how these efforts influenced day-to-day living among the settlers. The sites picked for survey were Vitória Settlement, in the town of Lindoeste, and Terra Livre Settlement, in the town of Nova Laranjeiras, both linked to the MST and with 30 families settled in all; and the new settlements formed by settlers that were moved from Salto Caxias Waterpower Station to various towns in the west region, comprising 612 families linked to the Crabi/MAB. Considering that settlements are not socially isolated areas, their internal organization and forms of solidarity and cooperation were analyzed in two ways: on the one hand, from the review of links between changes in the agrarian structure in the region, the organization of the resistance carried out by the landless, and the formation of rural settlements and their ways of organizing land and work in the region; on the other hand, the investigation of the mediation in the social relations and of the dynamics of social movements, and the multiple ways the settlers elaborate to represent the memory of their fights for land and their path through life. In these contexts, the settlements are seen as social and production environments where diversity and difference generate relationships guided by power, intertwined with contradictions and conflicts of habits, values and tradition. Visible in the settlements are the class contradictions, like the one pertaining to the very formation of the social rank of settler. One of the main contradictions materialize in the settlers possibility of returning to the colony way of life and the praxis around a new project of social, productive and communitarian organization by their mediators. The proposals of cooperation, especially the collective ways of using the land and dividing the work, are seen by most of the settlers as restraining their freedom and autonomy. The study shows that the dualistic conception of MST (collectivism against individualism) in the effort to implement cooperation in the settlements led to the discrimination of individual settlers and proved to cause reduction of cooperation experiences among them. Collectiveness is something strange to their culture and constitutes a restraint to their lifestyle and utopias. Such incompatibilities evidence the need to value the settlers cultures and to consider their traditions and values when formulating a cooperation policy in the fight. It also reveals the need to forget old authoritative and subordinative practices in the political relationship between mediators and settlers, as one prerequisite to a new individual and coletive life qualitx, based in the different kinos of horizontal reciprolity, in the democracy and in co-operation.

Bramley, Louise. "One day at a time : living with frailty : implications for the practice of advance care planning : a multiple case study." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2016. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/33400/.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Advance care planning (ACP) was originally designed to promote autonomy and is commonly conceptualised as informing treatment and decisions in the event of a person’s loss of capacity. In the UK, healthcare policy has emphasised the potential for ACP to significantly contribute to improvements in experiences of death and dying for patients and their significant others. Older people with progressive frailty are at high risk of mortality, loss of capacity and increasing dependency on carers and care services, yet uptake of ACP in this group is poor. Little is known about whether frail older people regard advance care planning as relevant or what perspectives they have on decision making for the future. Aim: To explore the expectations, experiences and understandings of frail older people and their significant others of planning for future care and to examine the implications of this for the practice of ACP. Methods: The study adopted an exploratory case study design using serial qualitative interviews and the responsive interview technique. Frail older people and their nominated carers were recruited from hospital wards in a large University Hospital NHS Trust prior to discharge. They took part in up to two interviews either in hospital or in their homes. Within and cross-case qualitative analysis was undertaken. Findings: Sixteen frail older people and eight significant others were recruited (Seventeen female, seven male, age range 70-96). The study found that frail older people experience profound uncertainty, associated with rapid changes to their physical and/or mental state and complex challenges in everyday life. Consequently, their attention is focused on day-to-day maintenance of quality of life, rather than on future care or advance decision making. Many had difficulty imagining a future; as dependency grew, so did reliance on care services to support their needs. What once would have been deemed an unacceptable way of living became routine. For many, the care system offers a lifeline without which they would not be able to exist at home. However, it also appeared to offer little individual flexibility, meaning that frail older people struggled to assert the control over day-to-day decisions and choices that others take for granted. This increasing dependency and reliance on care and care services has the potential to undermine the decision-making capacity of frail older people. For many, autonomous choice and decision making gave way to relationships, partnerships and negotiations that are commensurate with a more relational model of autonomy. Conclusion: The end-of-life orientation of current ACP policy and practice is at odds with the dynamic nature of frailty and does not correspond to individuals’ needs to maximise their current quality of life. The liberal ideal of autonomy as self-determination and self-interest presented by the legalistic and ideologically driven policy of ACP is out of step with the lived worlds of frail older people. For those facing increasing dependency on care and care services, frameworks that acknowledge a more relational approach when planning future care will be needed in order to engage this group of frail older people in ACP.

The study describes 52 patients' experiences and feelings towards theirillness and the care received in connection with it. The main purpose ofthe study is to gather knowledge on cancer patients' need of psychosocialcare and from this insight draw up a proposition for a clinically usefulmethod for psychosocial care. I have met and spoken with the patients,each suffering from a different form of cancer, on one occasion. They areall patients o'f the Department of General Surgery, Östersund Hospital.The taped conversations constitute the most important source for thisthesis, which has its crucial point in the empirical part. My theoreticalframe of reference has a psychodynamic and existential perspective.To distinguish and give as clear a picture as possible on "what it'slike to get a cancer and live with it", different phases have been drawnup showing the process of a cancer. Living with a cancer means adjustingto constant uncertainty and a fear of recurrence. That which is typicalfor the process of a cancer is that a crisis here is so different fromthe "classical" pattern of reaction and comes and goes in waves.The different phases show unsatisfactory psychosocial care and the mostobvious déficiences are to be found in connection with the first consultationwith a doctor, when receiving the diagnosis and also at the routinecheck-ups.That which, like the symbolic main thread, runs through the whole dissertationis the lack of dialogue and criticism of the inferior continuityamong the doctors.In the last chapter I have made a suggestion for the future psychosocialcare of cancer patients.digitalisering@umu

Full textAbstract:
Researchers have provided evidence that living in intimate partner violence while pregnant negatively impacts the health of both the women and their unborn children. The purpose of this narrative study was twofold, first to gain understanding of the meaning of health as described by pregnant women who lived in intimate partner violence, and second to gain strategies for health care professionals. Six purposefully selected women participated in two interviews. The data were arranged under five themes: loss of body health, loss of mind health, loss of spirit health, coping with loss of body, mind and spirit health, and advice for health care professionals. The results revealed that these women’s health was negatively affected by living in intimate partner violence while pregnant. Universal screening, coalition building, further research, changes in health care policies, and changes in nursing education and practice are needed to properly address this serious health issue.xi, 153 leaves ; 29 cm

When someone asks us how old we are, we tell them the number of years that we have lived. But those years are comprised of days: days that wrinkle our brows, burn searing holes in our souls, and those days--filled with joy, terror, humor, fear, and exasperation--are the sum totals of our age. One Day. Some Day is a collection of short fiction that deals with the events of one day in the life of the characters. The titles of the stories reflect this theme, i.e., "Thursday's Child, 11 "A Measure of Days," and "One of These Days." I have endeavored to inject my stories with the emotions and experiences that comprise our daily lives.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Bipolar disorder is characterised by recurrent acute episodes of mania and depression with the common occurrence of subsyndromal symptoms between episodes. Episode recurrence and frequent inter-episode symptoms have made identification of the factors that influence relapse an important focus for research in bipolar disorder. Objective. To determine whether dysregulation in bipolar disorder would be exhibited, outwith acute mania, in day-to-day variability and whether variability was associated with risk of relapse. Design. A prospective daily monitoring study was conducted with bipolar disorder and general population samples. Twenty participants with a bipolar episode experienced in the previous two years were recruited from a Lithium Clinic. A control group often participants from the general population were recruited by opportunity sampling. Main outcome measures. Biological, behaviour, cognition, and affect measures included self-report measures of behavioural activation/inhibition, social rhythms, self esteem, positive affect, negative affect, elation, depression and objective actigraph estimation of the sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythms. Results. Lower self esteem, lower positive affect, higher negative affect, higher depression levels and greater variability in self esteem, night waking and sleep efficiency across 14 days were evident in bipolar disorder. Survival analyses suggested greater variability in self esteem and sleep efficiency predicted earlier admission in bipolar disorder. Conclusions. Greater day-to-day variability in bipolar disorder was observed compared to the general population. Underlying disturbances in biological, cognition and affect measures were evident in bipolar disorder. Findings were clinically important since sleep and self esteem disturbances may be considered as potentially modifiable in reducing risk of relapse in bipolar disorder.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the pre and post scores of literacy surveys to determine if there is a differential improvement in the literacy achievement of kindergarten students who attend one of three kindergarten programs: full-day, alternate-day, and half-day. The sample of this study consisted of 1530 kindergarten students enrolled in a centralized kindergarten program during the 2000-2001 and the 2001-2002 school years. Only the scores of the 1530 students who had both pre and post scores were included in the study. The hypothesis was studied at the .05 level of significance.The scores of 1530 students were studied at the pre and post level in two literacy skill areas, letter identification and concepts about print. The findings of the study were:1. There was a significant difference in the increase in student achievement of letter identification between alternate-day and half-day programs, with students in half-day making more gains.2. There was no significant difference in the increase in student achievement of letter identification between alternate-day and full-day programs.3. There was a significant difference in the increase in student achievement of concepts about print (CAP) between alternate-day and full-day, with students in full-day making more gains.4. There was no significant difference in the increase in student achievement of concepts about print between alternate-day and half-day programs.Overall, the findings indicate that students in the alternate-day program achieved the lowest gains in Letter Identification and concepts about print of the three kindergarten programs.Department of Elementary Education

Wild, Laura. "Becoming invisible : art and day-to-day life." Thesis, Loughborough University, 2011. https://dspace.lboro.ac.uk/2134/9083.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis identifies a methodology for practice-led Fine Art research that emphasises day-to-day processes, which tend to be overlooked, and a practice, which becomes invisible to the mainstream art world. Attending to day-to-day habitual process is found to open up possibilities for embodied becoming through thinking and re-membering. Negotiating boundaries in face-to-face encounter is discovered to encourage inter-subjective becoming and is explored in terms of ethical interaction. The reflexive methodology considers questions arising from the possibility of exchange instead of gift, art as process rather than commodity, and an attitude of dissensus relating to artists as nonconformists. Tension and interaction in community leads to a pacific process of immanent invisibility, which functions as quiet activism and gentle politics provided by readymade situations. Mierle Laderman Ukeles s Touch Sanitation (1984), Allan Kaprow s Trading Dirt (1983) and selected works of Heath Bunting (2002-2010) are amongst the artworks cited in a discussion of artists who engage with materials or processes that are often overlooked including waste disposal, soil, and institutional structure. Emmanuel Levinas s approach to alterity (Levinas, 1988, 172) and Julia Kristeva s suggestion that connection cannot occur without severance (Kristeva, 1987, 254) have helped define an ethical practice of inter-subjective becoming. Victor Turner s notion of communitas (Turner, 1969) has affirmed a choice to avoid hierarchical structure and engage in processes that result in immanent invisibility. My contribution to practice-led, Fine Art research has involved testing a method rather than proving a hypothesis. I have developed a methodology that values art becoming invisible during the process of emphasising the overlooked in day-to-day life. Anecdotal passages throughout the text together with links in the text to my website and web log demonstrate an integration of practice with theory, which has been arrived at through a process of reflexive speculation. Two discs accompany the printed thesis that allow for digital reading.

Taft, Kevin. "Power and narrative in day-to-day consuming." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1998. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/4335/.
Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation I address the question, how does power operate in day-today consuming in a consumer society? My theoretical framework has two bases. One base is Foucault's theories of power, including but not limited to his work on normalization, surveillance, examination, confession, and identity. The other base is narrative theory, including the relevance of narratives to personal and social identities, the role of narratives in creating social order, the impact of narratives on such things as the organization of space and time, and the effect of narratives in creating coherence and directionality across operants of power. I suggest that many of the mechanisms of power identified by Foucault have unmistakable narrative features, and that by combining narrative and Foucauldian perspectives a more comprehensive understanding of the operation of power in day-to-day life is attainable. I apply my theoretical framework to data collected using autoethnographic methods. Specifically, I spent one year keeping a detailed journal of my and my family's experiences relating in the broadest sense to consuming. During this period we lived in a middle-sized Canadian city. To heighten my awareness of the taken-for-granted aspects of power and consuming we alternated lifestyles each month, living months 1,3,5,7,9, and 11 as conventional Canadian consumers, and months 2,4,6,8,10, and 12 as committed environmentally-mindful consumers. In addition, I conducted - interviews of small samples of conventional and environmentally-committed consumers; I undertook a content analysis of print advertising delivered to our house; and I conducted background research on various issues relating to consumerism. My research indicates that Foucauldian operants of power are used extensively to support consuming, and that; in addition, many narrative structures are also employed as operants of power, including charms and stories. These operants of power are aligned with one another to form coherent patterns through the effects of metanarratives. I argue that, despite claims by Lyotard (1984) and others, modern consumer societies are highly narrative, and have defining metanarratives. In addition, environmentally-based opposition to the dominant metanarrative of consuming has a metanarrative of its own, but is distinctly lacking in operants of power.

This thesis adds a complex account to existing climate change engagement literature, which captures the ways that interactions with, and interpretations of, climate change emerge across the spaces and practices of day-to-day life. The empirical research for this thesis was based in Penryn and Falmouth, two small adjoining coastal towns located in the county of Cornwall, in the southwest of the UK. Fieldwork across a number of sites including schools, community groups and the local fishery engaged participants in a wide variety of research interactions. A combination of ethnographic and autoethnographic techniques were applied to produce complex, nuanced and personal accounts of interactions with and reflections on climate change that emerged in a day-to-day context. This study employed the innovative use of a personal research archive to facilitate the process of sense making across a body of highly detailed and contextual data. Through the use of thematic coding, links between data collected in diverse research encounters has been drawn together to produce meaningful narratives of climate change engagement in day-to-day life. These narratives capture the adaptive, imperfectly situated and inconsistent engagement responses that emerge as a result of the challenging nature of climate change and the inevitable, multiple pressures of the day-to-day context. The research approach taken in this study, and the findings set out in the thesis make contributions to three main areas of climate change engagement literature. Firstly, it explores the way that climate change is situated and understood in the context of day-to-day life. Secondly, it considers the implications of conceptualising climate change engagement as either a ‘process’ or a ‘state’. Finally, it extends existing analysis of ‘barriers to engagement’, locating them within the complexity of the day-to-day context and identifying them as part of essential interpretive iterations of engagement.

Provisional or unfinished images, forms and actions can sustain their status by continuing to change. This can resist programmed experience of their state, and shift their relationship as images within time. The sub-aesthetics of the unfinished and entropic can alter our understanding of where and how images are formed and located within time. My paintings each exist within their own emergent systems of time, structure and productive disorder. This thesis discusses these ideas in relation to DAY FOLDER and other work made during my MFA studies.

Full textAbstract:
Although I've read and written poetry for my own pleasure for about twenty years now, I've only seriously studied and written poetry on a consistent basis for the past two years. In this sense, I still consider myself a beginning poet. When attempting to pursue an art form as refined and historically informed as poetry, only after spending a number of years reading and writing intensively would I no longer consider myself a beginner, but a practitioner of the art. I've grounded my early development as a poet in concision, voice, and imagination, and hope to build upon these ideas with other poetic techniques, theories, and forms as I go forward. I am particularly interested in mastering the sonnet form, a concise and imaginative form that will allow me to further develop my skills. Hopefully, the works in this thesis reflect that effort.

Studiens syfte var att bidra till kunskap om hur biståndshandläggare inom Stockholms stads äldreomsorg tolkar begreppet skälig levnadsnivå och upplever sitt handlingsutrymme vid bedömning av behov av inköp. Åtta biståndshandläggare intervjuades från två olika stadsdelsförvaltningar och svaren analyserades genom tematisk innehållsanalys. Informanterna upplevde att begreppet skälig levnadsnivå kan vara diffust och att det kan uppkomma gråzoner vid bedömning av behovsområdet inköp. Tillfrågade biståndshandläggare framhöll att de kommunala riktlinjerna fyller en viktig roll och att de får vägledning under handläggningsprocessen samtidigt som de kände sig bundna och upplevde att deras handlingsutrymme är minimalt.The purpose of this study was to contribute to knowledge about how care-managers within the City of Stockholm’s eldercare interpret the concept of reasonable standard of living and experience their discretion when assessing the need for every-day purchases. Eight caremanagers were interviewed from two different city district administrations and the responses were analyzed through thematic content analysis. The informants felt that the concept of reasonable standard of living can be vague and that gray zones may arise when assessing the various needs for every-day purchases. The participants stated that the municipal guidelines play a critical role in giving them guidance during the assessment process, but they also felt limited by the guidelines and they experienced that their discretion is minimal.

Full textAbstract:
Distress tolerance (DT), or the ability to effectively withstand aversive internal experiences, is related to diverse physical and mental health benefits, including resilience to depression, anxiety, and substance misuse. DT might prevent health problems by promoting more adaptive and less maladaptive emotion regulation decisions in the face of stressful events. The present study—a pilot investigation that is the basis for a forthcoming study—tested this hypothesis by examining between- and within-person associations of DT with a repertoire of 12 common emotion regulation strategies. We recruited 25 high-anxiety university students to complete surveys of DT and emotion regulation efforts in response to stressors for 14 consecutive days. Multilevel structural equation modeling analyses indicated that higher DT was inversely associated with select maladaptive regulatory strategies (i.e., procrastination and rumination) both within and across persons, although this trend unexpectedly did not extend to behavioral avoidance, experiential avoidance, drug use, suppression, or distraction. Findings regarding adaptive strategies indicated that higher DT may enable greater reflection, reappraisal and acceptance within, but not across, persons. Also, higher DT unexpectedly predicted less social support seeking and affect labeling between- and within-persons. In several cases, there were discrepant associations among DT and emotion regulation strategies across between- and within-person levels. In these scenarios, within-person associations were most consistent with theory and evidence. Taken together, findings suggest that higher DT limits maladaptive emotion regulation behaviors and inconsistently predicts adaptive regulatory efforts. We discuss our findings and their implications for theory and intervention.

In this work we assess four prototypes of gaze-supported input devices that aim o be more ergonomic alternatives than the mouse and touchpads for day to day omputer usage. These prototypes (nunchuck, ring, smartphone and trackball)have hree properties. First, they enable a distant interaction from the computer, letting he user have a 135-degree body-thigh sitting posture. Second, they allow one-handed nteractions, a convenient setting for people that can only use one hand due to rgonomic complications in the other one. And last, they are based on familiar nput technologies and conventions, so users can easily learn how to use them. An xperiment on pointing and drag & drop tasks was conducted to evaluate quantitative roperties of the devices and get qualitative user feedback. The smartphone ranked first n almost all the user feedback entries. The measures of speed and accuracy presented everal outliers. According to the measured results, the smartphone was the fastest ointing device and the most accurate for every task; the trackball was the fastest evice for drag & drop tasks. The nunchuck ranked last in all the measures. Based on his study, future work should be conducted on improving the design of the companion evices based on multitouch and trackball technologies.

Full textAbstract:
This study was concerned with the health implications of new forms of gambling such as casinos, pokie machines and internet gambling for Māori women and their families in Auckland and the Bay of Plenty region of Aotearoa (New Zealand). It set out to discover what culturally appropriate services were available and the extent to which Māori women gamblers were utilising them. The literature documenting Māori perceptions of gambling shows that Māori women gamblers and their partner/whānau members and gambling service providers have been little studied previously. These goals translated into the following specific aims: 1) to study how Māori women problem gamblers, their partner or whānau members and key informants perceived gambling, what it meant to them and why they did it; 2) to investigate the consequences of gambling for Māori women, whānau and service providers in dealing with the effects of gambling; 3) to report on how these three groups dealt with the effects of gambling; and 4) to discover what helped to bring about positive changes for the three groups. All of the aims were achieved. A Māori approach (Kaupapa Māori), combined with a naturalistic approach to data collection, was adopted. Qualitative methods are most appropriate to use when working with some Māori, as there is a growing realisation that research with Māori needs to be interactive. A Māori research procedure modelled on the ritual ceremony of encounter (Pōwhiri) provided an appropriate structure for the development and presentation of the research process. The major focus was on the qualitative data obtained from semi-structured interviews in two locations - Rotorua and Auckland. The interviews were conducted with twenty Māori women gamblers, sixteen whānau members including partners and ten interviews with staff involved in services that provided help for problem gamblers. The three interview schedules were based on a number of broad themes and open-ended questions to obtain meaningful descriptive data. The interviews were audio recorded and used to produce transcripts that were then sent back to the participants for feedback. Qualitative data analysis was conducted on the returned documents. The findings from this study revealed major impacts of the women's socio-economic, familial and societal circumstances on gambling behaviour and its effects, which are areas of concern for mental health professionals and researchers. The mythical Māori canoes on which Māori voyaged from their place of origin (Hawaiiki) to Aotearoa, the Waka, provided an appropriate metaphor to present the interrelationship between the pull and push factors toward gambling, and its implications for society. This is illustrated as a spinning waka, Te Waka Hūrihuri. On the other hand, Te Waka Māia (courageous) demonstrates the relationships between the variables that help Māori women gamblers to cope and helpful strategies found to assist them to modify or stop their gambling behaviour. It is recommended that the government limit the proliferation of gaming venues and continue to encourage development of emerging Māori services. Moreover, a coordinated approach is essential, as Māori women gamblers, partners and whānau members need to heal together for positive outcomes for Māori health development in Aotearoa. The main implication of this study is that a wide range of further research into Māori and gambling is required. Recommendations on ways in which the current delivery of services in Rotorua and Auckland could be improved are: That the Ministry of Health purchase services that establish support groups for Māori people with problem gambling and their whānau, and That non-Māori provider services and organisations support the development of emerging Māori services. Heeding the outcome of this research should help improve New Zealand's existing health policy and capacity for Māori women's health development. It should also enrich our understanding of the adaptation patterns of Māori whānau member/s, and thus should have implications, not only for Māori health policies, but also relevance for the wider field of international cross-comparative research on indigenous gambling and mental health issues. Limitations of this study included a small, localised sample that means the findings can only tentatively be generalised to the wider population of Māori women gamblers. Nonetheless, information gained from the study contributes to understanding of the adaptation patterns of Māori women gamblers, their whānau member/s, and those who are trying to help them. It is hoped that the study will make it at least a little less true that every day is a war day for Māori women and their whānau trying to deal with the problem of gambling.

My interests lie in the intersection of the public and private, the corporate and personal, especially with regard to self-representation within cultural power structures. Utilizing video and web technologies, performance, and painting, I create imagined realms of fantasy, desire, obsession, and anxiety. Operating within, but not bound by, feminist discourse, my work explores the vehicles and effects by which both analog and digital technologies influence the relationship between the self and the object of desire (whether physical or virtual, interior or exterior to the body) and have produced both progressive and regressive offspring. By performing the role of both producer of cultural archetypes and the compulsive consumer of signs, my characters embody the representation(s) of their source but, through action and voice, invent a mutant surrogate who dictates its own agency.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the potential of dumpster diving as a tactic of the freegan movement. The goal of the freegan movement is the realization of a postcapitalist world. I first investigate the scope, legality and demographic of dumpster diving in the U.S. I then contextualize dumpster diving within the history of waste, consumerism and excess in the U.S. since the beginning of the 20th century. I conclude by assessing the viabaility of freegan dumpster diving as a transformative tactic in light of its inaccessibility to various individuals as a result of their race and class. I ultimately argue that freeganism has the potential to inspire individual action for social change as well as de-naturalize trash.

Full textAbstract:
This exploratory study investigated the strategies that eight older New Zealanders use to enable participation in day-to-day occupations that they need or want to do, in their homes and the community. The types of strategies older people use to overcome barriers to participation and manage limitations are not widely known or reported. Exploring strategies for participation employed by older people is important because the majority of older New Zealanders live in the community and their numbers are growing, and projected to reach 25% of the total population by the year 2051 (Ministry of Health, 2002). New Zealand’s Positive Ageing Strategy (Minister for Senior Citizens, 2001), advocates for a society where people can age positively, where they are highly valued and their participation encouraged. The literature relating to occupation, participation and health was explored, and provided some evidence that older people are developing strategies and, with some education, are able to manage their own health conditions. The assumption underpinning this study is that they are equally able to manage strategies for participation, particularly those devised by older people themselves. A qualitative descriptive methodology was used. The participants were selected following a presentation to a group of older adults and snowball recruitment. They were aged between 73 and 98 years old and were receiving assistance to live in community, which was taken to indicate they had experienced some limitation in, or barrier to their everyday activities, in response to which they might have discovered or developed coping strategies. Interviews were conducted in the participants’ homes, and analysed using a general inductive approach. Four main categories emerged; strategies for keeping me safe, strategies for recruiting and accepting help, strategies for meeting biological needs, and strategies for conserving resources. Overarching themes of managing and getting on with it, sprinkled with a sense of humour by some participants was present in the attitudes of many participants. The study revealed that this group of older people can and do use strategies to enable occupation in their everyday lives, which differ from those recommended by occupational therapists and other health professionals. This finding suggests that health professionals, policy makers and educators have much to learn from older people. The provision of help to older adults should take into consideration the importance of social interactions, not just the physical needs. There is a need for transport to be more readily available and affordable for older people to attend occupations that meet social needs. Health professionals complement the strategies developed by older people, and finding ways to combine the strategies should be developed. Listening to older adults’ current ways of managing and working with them to develop alternate, yet acceptable methods will provide a challenge. Health professionals should take a greater role in advocating for the social and transport needs of older adults. A self-management approach in education for older people, using peers and making use of existing education groups in the community and health system, is suggested. Education of those who engage with older people, such as carers, family, health professionals and community groups should include developing their skills in assisting older people to identify their strategies and developing strategies for the future.

The Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) Church operates one of the largest private educational systems in the United States. However, throughout the past ten years, there has been a steady decrease in the enrollment of Seventh-Day Adventist schools, although church membership has increased. Previous research has shown that SDA ministers have considerable influence, and have proved particularly influential in decisions regarding SDA schools. Since the educational values of SDA schools are conveyed to the church members by their ministers, it is important for Church leaders to have a knowledge of the values held by their ministers. The primary purpose of this study was to identify the perceptions of the SDA Church ministers concerning the values, effectiveness, fiscal status, and future structure of the SDA schools.Ed. D.

Este plan de marketing tiene como objetivo ofrecer un servicio como una alternativa de cuidado y formación para los niños de educación básica comprendida entre 1° a 5° básico, post jornada escolar, la cual habitualmente finaliza a las 15:00 horas. Su origen se basa en la necesidad actual que enfrentan las familias de clase media, donde ambos padres tienen un régimen laboral completo de 45 horas semanales, no flexible, situación que dificulta el cuidado de sus hijos en el hogar, y por parte de ellos mismos. Por otra parte no cuentan con asesora del hogar o no desean dejar a sus hijos al cuidado de personal no calificado para contribuir a su educación y desarrollo. Un dato a considerar es que la ocupación femenina a nivel nacional ha aumentado consistentemente de un 45,3% a un 48,4% al 2014, según datos arrojados por el INE en 2010. F.E.R. Day Care Center está enfocado a familias bi o monoparentales, profesionales pertenecientes a GSE C1 o C2, residentes en la comuna de Ñuñoa, que posean entre 25 a 50 años, casados, separados, madre o padre soltero, con hijos de entre 6 a 10 años, con horarios laborales poco flexibles y que en alguna oportunidad han pensado en dejar sus puestos de trabajo para quedarse al cuidado de sus hijos. F.E.R. Day Care Center estará ubicado en José Domingo Cañas 2480, Ñuñoa. Los Objetivos de este plan de marketing son: lograr el posicionamiento del centro en la comuna objetivo, en un periodo de 6 meses y obtener una cuota de participación de mercado del 0,77% en el plazo de un año. Para ello, la propuesta de valor de este plan de marketing tiene como objetivo crear un centro para niños y niñas en edad escolar de 6-10 años, basado en tres pilares Formación, Educación y Recreación, siendo un apoyo para la familia, entregando seguridad y calidad al servicio de los niños, con un horario de servicio ampliado, donde puedan aprovechar el tiempo y fortalecer sus habilidades y capacidades, además de entregar un apoyo en el proceso educacional. La estrategia será de enfoque en diferenciación y estará basada en fortalecer la relación con los consumidores y usuarios, a través de la experiencia del servicio.
