Abstract:

Проблема людини в усьому розмаїтті характеристик її сутності й існування завжди виступала актуальним питанням в філософії науки. Проте, сьогодні вона набуває особливого значення. Сучасність характеризується небувалими за своїми масштабами економічними, науково-технологічними, соціально-політичними, духовними потрясіннями, які проявляються у конфлікті між людиною та її соціальним середовищем. Це підкреслює важливість правильного розуміння проблеми тілесності людини в фізкультурноспортивному концепті. Мета дослідження.

Abstract:

According to the material feminist corpus, namely Stacy Alaimo’s concept of trans-corporeality, material flows and interconnectivity between humans and their environment insists that the human body has never been atomistic, but rather a porous figure that continually interacts/intra-acts with its environment. The recent biotechnological boom allowing for the production of human-animal hybrids (chimeras) provides the kind of visualization of these interconnectivities that can help instigate a reconception of the human—as not human at all, but rather posthuman. This study looks at the presence o

Abstract:

This dissertation examines the representations of the body in the completed dramatic works of Heinrich von Kleist (1777--1811). While taking into account the psychoanalytical and philosophical approaches to Kleist, this project has Heiner Miller's words as its point of departure: that the theater represents the collision of ideas with the body. The forces of power, gender and authority leave their traces of this collision on the bodies of his characters, whose metaphorical and literal falls, wounds and recoveries speak their own gestural language.<br>This study is organized on the principle of

Abstract:

The last two decades management as science went under two banners: "innovation" and "human resources". This time can be described as complication of external organizational environment, a sharp increase in the pace of its change and increased competition in global markets. Human capital (HC) as a component of the intellectual capital of the organization has become one of the main factors increasing the competitiveness of enterprises and the country itself. This requires finding hidden reserves and new ways to improve efficiency of HC.

The problem of human trafficking was mentioned for the first time at the beginning of the 20th century. It is known that this type of trafficking takes the third place after arms and drugs trafficking. Millions of people around the world become victims every year. Men, women as well as children can become victims of human traffic. This type of slavery can manifest itself in various forms: forced labor, forced begging, sexual exploitation. According to the data of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) more than 230 thousand of Ukrainians became the victims of human traffick

Antiretroviral therapy has transformed the disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) into a chronic condition. Molecular epidemiology and biopsychosocial unique approach systems are required to advance towards a better assessment and understanding of the complex interactions between HIV and its human host. Therefore, it was proposed to establish the biopsychosocial risk factors of oral pathologies in HIV, determining the relationship between oral‐systemic health status and antiretroviral treatment.

Abstract:

Human trafficking is a serious and growing global concern, and Southeast Asia has emerged as a particular trafficking hub. Many actors, both internationally and on a state level, have responded to this concern with securitization: in other words, they have presented human trafficking as an existential threat which should be responded to with extraordinary measures. However, successful rhetorical securitization does not always translate to policy effectiveness, and Southeast Asia’s notorious problems with human trafficking remain pressing and relatively unattended to.

Abstract:

In this thesis, I demonstrate how the numerous forms of oppression are grounded in a hierarchical and binary thinking that permeates racism and sexism and that is present throughout the feminist movement. It is this biased thinking that creates further divide among diverse social groups resulting in a foundation for justifying oppressive practices. I argue that the human rights framework is the best by which to defeat this problematic thinking, fostering a collectivity among disparate people and establishing a more appropriate footing upon which to face the problems of feminism.

As the design of Educational Software Systems is a complex, multidisciplined process, the communication of primary interest is that between between experts from different disciplines.

Abstract:

Healthcare in Sweden is in need of a transformation. The increase of chronic conditions poses a great challenge to the organisational structure of healthcare, which still largely remains based on acute, rather than chronic care. Development in the healthcare realm is commonly conducted in fragmented processes and from the professions', rather than the patients', perspective. A new type of design methodology has in recent years entered the field of healthcare development and innovation. It has progressively been used to enable the reorganisation of the healthcare system itself rather than solel

Abstract:

Parallel distributed associative (PDA) models are a new approach to the study of cognition. They lie between neuroscience and traditional psychological level computation. The PDA paradigm departs from the Rationalist tradition which is a logical, language-based approach to cognition and aims to provide a formal description of cognitive processes at the subsymbolic level using distributed memory structures and distributed control. The first part of this thesis describes an analysis of a PDA model, the Memory Surface Model (MSM) developed by Goldschlager (1984), and compares it to other model

Abstract:

In recent years, the economic approach to human behavior has been challenged by contributions of cognitive science. Thus two methodological strands in economics disagree with each other: the objectivistic approach favors the methods of natural science; the subjectivistic approach takes the teleological structure of human action as its cornerstone. It is argued that the position of the latter has been undermined and often degraded to a mere instrumentalist tool because it builds upon the primitive version of the teleological structure. Its deeper realist analysis is needed, which is the task fo

Abstract:

This thesis considers social work practice with separated young people who have migrated to Germany and the UK, with a specific focus on the role of human rights perspectives within practitioners’ approaches. The conceptual starting points are the contradictions between human rights frameworks which are commonly conceptualised as universal and inclusive, and the exclusive responses of Western states towards 'irregular' and asylum migration. These contradictions are enhanced and complicated by binary conceptualisations of childhood and adulthood, affording children different rights from adults.

It is commonly assumed that the usability problems found via user-involved methods are real problems that the end-users may face when using the product in real situations. In this study, one usability evaluation method that does not involve users, Heuristic Evaluation, was evaluated by comparing the results it provided to the results provided by a user-involved method, Think Aloud.

Effective treatments for this client group include those based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). However, a subgroup of children with CD, those who also present with high-level callous-unemotional (CU) traits, have been identified, with the relationship between CU traits and treatment effectiveness as yet unclear.
