Abstract:

In this thesis, I draw on Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of dialogism and polyphony to discuss recent literary representations of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. I consider the explosion of literary representations of the area over the 2000 – 2010 period in light of the complex social challenges at work in the community at the time. I begin with a brief overview of Bakhtin’s interrelated concepts of dialogism, polyphony and heteroglossia. I then provide an abridged Downtown Eastside history and consider what the drivers might be to increased representation of community in Vancouver’s cultural imagi

Abstract:

Josep Vallverdú has been largely acclaimed as a children’s author because he has been one of the favourite writers of young Catalans since the beginning of his career in the 1960s. For Vallverdú, both children’s literature and translation provided the means to recover Catalan literature and culture, while also fulfilling his literary vocation. Especially since the late 1980s, he also composed essays and what he calls personal books («llibres personals»), which include an extensive variety of forms such as memoirs, diaries, articles for the press, essays commenting on his own writings and books

Abstract:

The work of Humanities & Social Sciences students involves learning to express disciplinary content in essay assessment to disciplinary norms. Though tutors use a genre for professional writing, literacy is often not part of the classroom discussion. Therefore, many students have difficulty appropriating the communicative tools of that disciplinary genre. This may be solved by a turn in pedagogy towards tutors’ awareness of students’ processes (Hornsby & Osman, 2014) which may, in turn, improve tutors’ feedback. Ethnography has provided insights into students’ attitudes, their impressions of f

Previous behavioural modification programs intended to encourage and maintain PA behaviour among middle-aged and older patients with T2DM have had inconsistent results.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Low health literacy and numeracy are significant problems facing the United States. Recent research focuses heavily on the role health literacy and numeracy play in perception of disease risk, health care costs, all-cause mortality, and access to care; however, there has been relativity little emphasis on the relationships between health literacy or numeracy with health promotion behaviors, such as nutrition or physical activity. As our nation continues to face challenges with the high prevalence of obesity and other chronic diseases, it is increasingly important to understand the

Abstract:

After introducing the notion that meaning-making during reading includes both inter-personal and intra-personal meaning-making and exploring several issues raised by any attempt to research this activity, a number of gaps are identified in the current model of the reading transaction, arising largely from Rosenbla~t's only-partial adoption of concepts from Peirce. Wiley's re-focusing of Peirce's theories of meaning and the dialogical self is then used as a starting-point for the modification of the transactional model and a variety of disciplinary perspectives are drawn on to propose ways in w

Rekommendationerna för barn och unga är 60 minuter per dag och fokus bör ligga på fysiska aktiviteter som upplevs meningsfulla. För att lyckas främja fysisk aktivitet och motverka övervikt är det viktigt att kombinera pedagogiskt stöd med fysisk aktivitet.
