Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 2002.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 255-258).<br>Chapter 1 (Distance and Morality): This chapter is a response toFrances Kamm's "Faminine Ethics: the Problem of Distance in Morality and Singer's Ethical Theory". I argue that Kamm fails to produce a pair of cases in which a moral difference is present that is not attributable to factors other than distance. I claim that all of Kamm's pairs of cases that purportedly show that distance per se matters in morality, and in which Kamm's moral int

Abstract:

This study utilized grounded theory methodology to examine the experience of transition towards, living with, and recovery from, deliberate self-harm from the perspective of people who had lived with these behaviours. The study aimed to transcend the tendency to focus on professional and clinical perspectives and to build a theory based on the direct experiences of people who have lived with deliberate self-harm. The grounded theory methodology (Strauss & Corbin, 1998) was utilized and consisted of in-depth interviews with 13 people who had recovered from deliberate self-harm as well as a regi

Abstract:

Adolescent self-harm is an international and national issue that is positively related to adolescent suicide. It has a major impact upon the lives of young people and their families and represents a significant drain upon the economic and clinical resources of the National Health Service. The research objective of this project was to investigate what might be happening in the minds of young people who self-harm. The project was designed to capture the micro-processes of adolescent self-harm in order to identify significant constructs for the purpose of theory generation and clinical applicatio

Abstract:

In varying ways, scholars working in the discipline of International Studies have found themselves, often implicitly, wrestling with the question of what should and should not count as harm and the implications of this for wider social life. Core to this tension is the way in which the discipline can be understood as lying between the explanatory concerns of a social science and a normative endeavour concerned with the reduction or mitigation of avoidable harm. This thesis argues that this tension results in an understanding of the problem of harm as a particular problem-field defined by a set

Abstract:

The thesis will examine the harm principle, as originally described by John Stuart Mill. In doing so, it will defend that, though unintended, the harm principle may justify several principles of distributive justice. To augment this analysis, the paper will examine several secondary authors’ interpretations of the harm principle, including potential critiques of the thesis itself.

This study is a qualitative enquiry into family therapists’ experiences of working with young people who self-harm and their families. To date, in spite of self-harm being a serious public health concern, there is relatively little exploration of the subject in family therapy literature.

The present study explores paediatric nurses’ experience of caring for young people who self-harm. The purpose is to identify the impact of caring for this patient group and the potential implications this has for patient care. It is estimated that between 20,000 and 30,000 young people present to hospitals in the UK with self-harm injuries each year. The current literature reveals that healthcare workers based in psychiatric and accident and emergency settings experiences a range of negative feelings when caring for adults who self-harm.

Abstract:

Self-harm thoughts and behaviour have been found to be associated with a wide variety of distal and proximal factors; however, few studies have examined how these factors work together to increase the risk of self-harm. A key distal factor is a history of child and family adversity, which attachment theory views as a precursor of attachment insecurities that may increase the risk of later self-harm. A key proximal factor is the desire to escape from overwhelming distress, and Williams (2001) cry of pain model describes a process that could help better understand the reasons behind seeking esca

Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the role of suicide-related mental imagery in suicidal behavior. It was hypothesized that engagement (frequency, emotional impact, vividness, realism) with suicidal imagery would be related to suicidality, with greater engagement with imagery associated with more suicidal behaviors. Acquired capability for suicide was expected to be a mediator of this relationship. These hypotheses were tested by surveying 237 undergraduate university students (59% female; mean age = 20).

Over the past twenty years there has been growing recognition that young people who have sexually harmed should not simply be treated as younger versions of adult sex offenders. Changes in terminology and recommended treatment reflect the fact that these young people are still developing and have a range of strengths and needs including harmful sexual behaviour. In acknowledging the harm caused by sexual abuse to victims it is also important to see that many young perpetrators have also been victims of abuse, domestic violence and sexual exploitation.

Wiggins' criticism of Kant, on the other hand, centres on a technical point that is overcome by an interpretation of Kant's tests for the universalizability of maxims tha

Abstract:

Dans cette thèse nous avons étudié de nombreux aspects de la théorie des systèmes désordonnés. En particulier, nous avons étudié les systèmes vitreux. La description détaillée des systèmes désordonnés et vitreux est un problème ouvert en physique de la matière condensée. Dans le cadre de la théorie de champ moyen pour les verres structuraux nous avons étudié la théorie des fluctuations proche de la transition vitreuse dynamique. L’étude des fluctuations peut etre fait avec le formalisme statique de la théorie de répliques. Nous avons fait cela en introduisant une théo

Abstract:

In der klassischen Komplexitätstheorie unterscheiden wir zwischen der Klasse P von in Polynomialzeit lösbaren Problemen, und der Klasse NP-schwer von Problemen bei denen die allgemeine Annahme ist, dass diese nicht in Polynomialzeit lösbar sind. Allerdings sind viele Probleme, die wir lösen möchten, NP-schwer. Gleichzeitig besteht eine große Diskrepanz zwischen den empirisch beobachteten und den festgestellten worst-case Laufzeiten. Es ist bekannt, dass Vorverarbeitung oder Datenreduktion auf realen Instanzen zu Laufzeitverbesserungen führt. Hier stoßen wir an die Grenze der klassischen Komple
