Abstract:

This thesis is comprised of a collection of short fiction depicting the childhoods and family lives of characters living in small northeastern towns. These seven stories explore the impact that the adult world has on the children who observe and seek to understand it, as well as how the events of childhood and the past can permeate and shape the lives of teenagers and adults trying to make important human connections in their present lives.

This thesis contains the first two acts of a novel about a young girl named Isabeau Jones. After the mysterious drowning death of her mother, Isabeau attempts to find her place as a girl, as a student, as a preternaturally gifted baseball player and as an outsider in a rural East Texas community that does not look kindly on difference. Throughout the novel, Isabeau attempts to negotiate what it means to be female, academically ambitious, physically active and independent in a rural life that does not encourage such qualities in girls.

Abstract:

Trends in incidence and risk factors for drowning among infants aged less than 1 and toddlers aged 1 to 4 in Canada from 1991--98 were compared to other injury deaths. Incidence, risk factors and in-hospital mortality of infant and toddler hospitalizations due to near drowning from 1994--98 were compared to other injuries. Drowning rates decreased by 79% among infants, from 1.4 per 100,000 person-years during 1991--94 to 0.3 during 1995--98 (0.001 < p < 0.0025 by chi2) and by 38% among toddlers, from 3.2 to 2.0 (p < 0.0005 by chi2).

Abstract:

"In the Drowning City" and Other Stories is a collection of fiction written and revised during Malyn Segarra's graduate studies at the University of Central Florida. Most of the collection examines the transient nature and fragility of identity and shifting roles within the family unit. All focus on a particular span of time, the transition into young adulthood. Each character is faced with an obstacle or event that tests his or her beliefs, integrity and sense of self. As each one struggles to make a unique and permanent impression in the world, he or she must come to terms with the past, in

Abstract:

Drowning and near drowning is a significant problem nationwide and in San Bernardino County. Drowning in and around the home is the leading cause of accidental death of children under 5 years of age. In the United States, drowning is cited as the second most common cause of death for adolescents. This project was undertaken to help establish a funding source to develop a drowning prevention program in San Bernardino County. A request for assistance was obtained from the California Center for Childhood Injury Prevention and the California Kids' Plates Program.

For the smallest boats, manually activated flotation units can be integrated to prevent the boat from tipping.

BACKGROUND: Young adults are an at-risk group for experiencing an alcohol-related drowning incident. Investigations and drowning prevention efforts have aimed to address young adults’ prevalence in alcohol-related drownings and contribute to understanding their level of risk. Some explanations have concluded young adults’ need for autonomy and independence coincides with their exposure to alcohol and social norm pressures. However, gaps in knowledge remain, specifically young adults’: behaviours, knowledge and attitudes towards alcohol-influenced aquatic activity and the associated risks; and,

Abstract:

Love and growing old are thematically inseparable in W.B. Yeats' poetry, yet it is the former with which this great Irish poet is often associated. The poet's attitudes toward aging are made clear through his symbolism, complicated Irish allusions, and a sometimes jarring treatment of women. As it turns out, these devices have as much to do with Yeats' concern over aging as they have to do with the infamous Maud Gonne. This thesis attempts to not only expose and analyze these intricacies, but also challenge the way the literary canon typically isolates Yeats’ more famous poems without the cont

Abstract:

Актуальність. За даними наведеними експертами ВООЗ - утоплення є третьою причиною смерті в світі від ненавмисних травм. Кожну годину в світі в наслідок утоплення гине близько 40 людей. В Україні смертність від утоплення або занурення під воду коливається від 5,9% до 7,5%, по Сумській області – 3-4%. Метою нашого дослідження є вивчення статистичних даних та основних причин утоплення в Україні та Сумській області у 2015-2016 роках.

Abstract:

Behavioral skills training (BST) and in situ training (IST) have been evaluated as methods to teach different safety skills to individuals with developmental disabilities. Research on BST has examined topics such as gun safety, abduction prevention, poison avoidance, and sexual abuse prevention. A large safety issue that is missing from the literature is drowning prevention and water safety skills. Drowning is one of the most prevalent issues facing facing children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), particularly those who elope from their homes or caregivers. The current study aimed the effe

Abstract:

This PhD submission consists of a novel, 'The Summer of Love', and a supporting thesis. Together, novel and thesis comprise and address the research inquiry underpinning the novel's creation, namely: how is it possible to write fiction exploring political issues, the UK Government's treatment of disabled people and the associated stigmatisation of welfare dependents, without flattening the story or appearing partisan or divisive? Is it possible for this novelist to capture difficult truths from the political and social landscape in prose that combines humour with insight? 'The Summer of Love'

Leatherman, Stephen B. "Rip Current Generation, Flow Characteristics and Implications for Beach Safety in South Florida." FIU Digital Commons, 2018. https://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/3884.

Abstract:

Rip currents are the most dangerous hazard at surf beaches. Rip currents in South Florida have previously not been studied. Beach profiles for three Florida beaches (Miami Beach, Lido Beach, Sarasota, and Pensacola Beach) and one Georgia beach (South Cumberland Island) were chosen for surveying because of their variable sand bar heights. Rip current hazard at each beach was assessed by lifeguard rip rescue and drowning statistics. A relationship was found between sand bar height, beach slope and rip current hazard. Rip current measurements in South Florida, which involved utilizing GPS drifter

Abstract:

Les côtes girondines, dans le Sud-Ouest de la France, sont façonnées par les conditions océaniques. Les plages de sables y présentent des dangers tels que les courants d'arrachement et les vagues de bord. Ces phénomènes sont la cause de noyades et de traumatismes potentiellement graves, nécessitant des dispositifs de surveillance et de secours.Les objectifs de cette thèse étaient d'enrichir les connaissances utiles à l'intervention sur les noyades et traumatismes liés aux vagues selon plusieurs axes : en décrivant la population des victimes, en modélisant les risques et en déterminant les acti

Abstract:

Underpinned by the ecological approach to perceptual-motor development, this Thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of the organization of infants’ behaviour during encounters with drop-offs and water environments. Previous studies have linked locomotor experience to infants’ avoidance of falling from heights. Using the Real Cliff / Water Cliff apparatus, Burnay and Cordovil (2016) confirmed the effect of locomotor experience on crawlers’ avoidance of drop-offs and linked locomotor experience to infants’ avoidance of falling into the water for the first time. However, the effect of oth

METHODE: Aus den Protokollen von Ertrunkenen des Sektionsgutes der Jahre 1991-2000 der Rechtsmedizinischen Institute der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (n=129) und der Ernst-Moritz-Arndt Universität Greifswald (n=209) wurde versucht die Häufigkeit und Bedeutung von Mageninhalt in den Luftwegen zu beurteilen. In diesem Zusammenhang sollte auch die Herkunft und Verwendung des Begriffs des "Sehrtschen Magentodes" durch eine Literaturrecherche ergründet werden. Der "Sehrtsche Magentod" ist per definitionem ein Erstickungstod durch Aspirieren von erbrochenem Mageninhalt beim Ertrinken. RESULTS: Vo
