Dans le champ de la psychologie sociale du travail et des organisations, c’est à l’articulation de deux thématiques de recherche - la santé au travail et le risque professionnel – que se situe notre recherche visant à analyser la question, encore peu documentée, des inégalités de santé au travail entre hommes et femmes.Notre thèse s’intéresse à une insertion professionnelle contre-stéréotypique pour les femmes – il s’agit en l’occurrence de conductrices de bus – pour examiner ; d’une part, si l’on peut établir des différences de santé psychique entre ces conductrices et leurs homologues mascul

Abstract:
The ability of financial institutions to strengthen enterprise risk management following the global financial crisis has been challenging. The uncertainties of the external environmental within which these organisations operate and the complexity and speed of internal operations required to respond have continued to evolve. As a result, focus on the discipline of enterprise risk management has emerged, within academia and industry, to determine the broader risk implications to which financial institutions are exposed.

Abstract:
Eating disorders (EDs) are thought to have a complex, multifactorial aetiology involving bio- psycho-social risk and maintenance factors. It is well-known that obtaining successful outcomes for these disorders can be difficult. Improving our understanding of risk factors may help to improve such outcomes by facilitating the early identification and treatment of EDs. There is a large literature base investigating the role of early family experiences (EFEs) for children and adolescents in the development of EDs. The first paper presents a review of the different types of EFEs that are thought to

Abstract:
In the past, social welfare delivery services to families at risk in South Africa focused strongly on statutory intervention, where children were removed from the care of their parents or caregivers and placed in alternative care. The system failed to deliver a full spectrum of services which would include prevention and early intervention services, with the result that many children and their families were exposed to immense trauma. A developmental approach to social welfare had since been adopted and social work service delivery in South Africa is supportive of prevention and early intervent

Abstract:
The central problem of this thesis is how a teacher may engage with risk. I offer a reconsideration of the term and suggest that risk is individual, perceptual and experientially driven. I use a Heideggerian (1962) frame when I suggest that, when taking a risk, a person is potentially encountering existential death. Using my own practice as a trapeze artist, I reveal how risk is manifested for the students I teach - how it can profoundly challenge and unsettle them- and how I as a teacher am charged with ensuring that they are empowered rather than stultified or domesticated by the risk.

With the number of underprepared, at-risk students entering college, many institutions have developed initiatives to help support student success.

The purpose of the study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of peer mentors who mentor at-risk college students at a 4-year institution.

Opportunity recognition and evaluation, or indeed creation, have been identified as critical for new venture creation.

Studies within the field of eating disorders often address pathology, prevalence/risk factors, body image, beliefs/perceptions (not specific to body image), treatment programs and psychometry.

With <50% 5-year survival rates, oral cancer is often diagnosed at late-stage. Detection of lesions at earlier stages results in better prognosis.

Even without the pressures of a financial crisis, the Chief Risk Officer (CRO) in UK banks occupied a potentially conflicted role during 2007 - 9. The Boards of banks had created the CRO role with responsibility for managing commercial risk but also for producing public risk reports within a system of enforced self-regulation. Under this system, the regulator seeks to overcome control asymmetries by harnessing the governance resources of regulated organizations. Theoretical perspectives of regulation in action, informal groups in organizations, and individual risk perception, indicated that CR

Abstract:
This thesis is part of a journey that has encompassed a lifetime love of horses. It evolved from horses being a childhood passion, and led to working with horses together with young people with various disadvantages and difficulties in a therapeutic and educational capacity. The PhD research study followed as an attempt to articulate and share some of the experiences of ‘The Yard’, the therapeutic horsemanship (TH) programme on which this thesis is based. Through a personal belief and understanding that contact with horses could be therapeutic in a number of ways I found myself in the fortunat

Abstract:
A range of conditions with indolent to fast-growing lesions are labelled as ‘cancer’. Lesions with low malignant potential are common, and with the advent and use of increasingly sensitive technologies these indolent lesions and their precursors are now more frequently clinically identified. There have been recommendations from international expert groups, including a United States National Institute of Health panel and the National Cancer Institute working group, to change the terminology of these indolent lesions by removing the term ‘cancer’, as one strategy to address and reduce the growin

Abstract:
Overdose is a significant cause of death among heroin users and up to two-thirds of heroin users will experience at least one non-fatal overdose in their lifetime. Despite a recent increase in the literature on overdose psychological understandings of the processes involved are limited, particularly from the perspective of heroin users. This study explored heroin users' experiences of overdose particularly the two areas of intent and risk. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with thirteen individuals who had a history of heroin use and were attending a treatment service in south London.
