Abstract:

Religion<br>Ph.D.<br>Since its inception in the 1960s, the scientific research of Buddhist-based meditation practices have grown exponentially with hundreds of new studies every year in the past decade. Some researchers are using Buddhist teachings, such as not-self, as an explanation for the causal mechanism of meditation’s effectiveness, for conditions such as stress, anxiety, and depression. However, there has been little response from Buddhist studies scholars to these proposed mechanisms in the growing discourse surrounding the engagement of ‘Buddhism’ and ‘Science.’ I argue that the mech

Peut-il y avoir une science du vécu identitaire ? Si la science est l’étude objective de principes généraux, le vécu identitaire subjectif peut-il être décrit, quantifié et conceptualisé en termes scientifiques ? De précédents travaux suggèrent que le vécu identitaire est associé à la qualité de vie, la dépression et le suicide (Nizzi et al., 2012). Pourtant, les professionnels de santé n’ont à ce jour aucun outil fiable à leur disposition pour évaluer le vécu identitaire de leurs patients.

Abstract:

Much of the walking that we do in our daily lives is dull, but sometimes, unexpectedly, it can be revelatory. During these moments, through what phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty calls the â lived perspectiveâ of walking, we experience a merging of our inner and outer worlds and achieve greater self-awareness. Although most of our experience in the landscape is through movement, we rarely design for such spaces. Using the hypothesis that terrorist threats and an aging infrastructure may lead to the rerouting of the CSX Railway south of Washington, D.C., shutting down the existing line,

Abstract:

The United States is in the process of changing demographically. As a result, there is an increasing demand for culturally appropriate counseling services for minority groups. However, little research about counselors' ability to deal with issues stemming from bilingualism is available. As language is used to establish the relationship in counseling, the importance of counselors' understanding regarding how a second language may influence the counseling process is vital. Although numerous studies have thus far emphasized the significance of cultural knowledge and the need for bilingual counsel

This thesis makes cross-cultural comparisons between various British and Japanese illustrated versions of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, and explores the ways in which these different versions of Carroll's two masterpieces can throw light on the social and cultural changes that have taken place in these two countries since Carroll's time. My focus is, however, unambiguously on the Japanese reception of Alice, as narrative texts and as visual texts.

Soldiers are believed to make up the largest occupational group in the prison system, numbering at least 8,500 (NAPO).
