Annotation:

Samuel Beckett is often thought of as an experimental writer but little critical attention has been paid to the question of what the term ‘experimental’ means when applied to Beckett’s work (and arguably literature in general). One might suggest that to call Beckett an experimental writer is to identify him as a member of the avant-garde, placing his writing in opposition to more commercially-orientated, ‘mainstream’ works of literature. Alternatively, the term might be taken to highlight Beckett’s formal innovations – his capacity to change conceptions of what literature is and does. This study, though, will specify another way in which we might understand Beckett’s writing to be experimental. Drawing on Beckett’s engagement with experimental and therapeutic psychology, the study suggests that Beckett’s works might be seen as experiments in a more scientific sense. Through readings of his later works for page, stage and screen, the chapters of this study suggest that Beckett’s writing can contribute to our knowledge of psychological concepts such as perception, attention and mental imagery. Beckett’s works, I argue, might be defined as experimental insofar as they position and stimulate human bodies in ways that allow us to better understand our complex, but partial, experiences of the world.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

Cognitive Boundaries: Perception and Ethics in Nineteenth-Century Britain considers the relationship between form and ethics in nineteenth-century literature through investigating representations of cognitive restraint. Using theories of cognitive limitation from neurobiology, psychology, philosophy, and economics, I argue that the Victorian interest in self-control goes beyond a simple ingestion of larger forms of authority, but instead represents a complex process of self-actualization that arises when the chaos of consciousness meets the ethical demands of the world at large. This interest in cognitive restraint coincides with a nineteenth-century distrust in unmitigated stream of consciousness; by managing one’s perceptions, rather than capitulating to the momentary nature of individual sensation, it was possible to develop an idea of selfhood that was meaningfully and volitionally connected to long-term goals. Looking at the works of Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, and Gerard Manley Hopkins, I identify specific strategies that characters and authors use to manage their perceptions, charting the effects such limitations have on plot and action. Ultimately, controlling one’s access to perceptual experience is revealed as theoretically connected with solving problems of deliberation, action, and ethics.

Annotation:

Background: Inclusion is a term that stands for fully including untypically developed chil- dren in regular educational setting. It should be implemented in all of the present educa- tional settings. However, the definition of inclusion and the way of implementing it differs from countries and cultures, which makes it a problem for having a united view on it. More- over, there are different factors that can occur and have an impact of understanding the term. Aim: The aim of this study is to review the existing literature on the perception of inclu- siveness and the term ˝inclusion˝ from preschool teacher’s perspective in preschool settings in Europe and the different factors that have effect on the perceiving. Method: A literature search on the databases of ERIC and PsycINFO and a hand search on the reference lists of the relevant articles was conducted. The articles that are included were recent peer reviewed studies published in English, reporting perception of inclusion and factors that affect it. Results: In the seven studies that have been included, preschool teachers have overall pos- itive attitude towards inclusion. They reported the inclusion is important to be implemented in preschool settings. However, most of them reported that the implementation of the in- clusion is needed, they do not feel secure enough and eligible to do it in a correct way. Furthermore, group of factors that affect the perception of inclusion and implementation of it occurred. The factors that occurred are lack of resources, no complete education and different understanding of what inclusion stand for and what should the implementation be alike. Conclusion: Considering the importance of inclusion as an ongoing process in preschools, education of professional staff for it is a first step in order to implement inclusion. Moreover, making the strong basis in preschool for inclusion will give the staff the confidence and eligible knowledge to provide the inclusive education for every participant of the environ-ment.

Annotation:

The present study addresses a core issue in the study of speech perception, the question of how stable phonological representations are accessed from an inherently variable speech signal. In particular, the research investigates the perception of accented English speech by native and non-native listeners. It is known from previous research that foreign-accented speech is harder for native listeners to process than native-accented speech. The reason for this lies in not only qualities of the input (deviation from native production norms, for example) but also in qualities of the listener. Specifically, listeners' speech perception systems are tuned from an early age to pay attention to useful distinctions in the language environment but to attenuate differences which are not useful. This quality of the listeners' speech processing system suggests that in addition to being native speakers of a language or languages, we are also native listeners. However, what is a liability for native listeners (non-native input) may be a benefit for non-native listeners. When the foreign accent is derived from a single language shared between the speaker and the listener, application of native-language processing strategies to the accented input may result in more efficient processing of the input. The experiments in this dissertation address this possibility. In an experiment involving Dutch listeners processing Dutch-accented and American English-accented sentence materials, a reaction time advantage was observed for the mutually-accented materials. Experiments testing the main hypothesis with native Spanish-listening participants showed a different pattern of results. These participants, who had more experience with English overall that the Dutch participants, performed similarly to native-listening controls in displaying faster verification times for native accented materials than mutually-accented materials. These experiments lead to the conclusion that native-like listening, as assessed by the sentence verification paradigm employed in these experiments, can be achieved by non-native listeners. In particular, non-native listeners with little experience processing spoken English benefit from hearing input produced in a matching accent. Non-native listeners with sufficiently more experience processing spoken English, however, perform similar to native listeners, displaying an advantage for native accented input.

Annotation:

In the minds of many people all over the world, women are ‘second class citizens’, standing accused of the downfall of mankind ever since Eve allegedly ate the apple. Even amongst those who do not openly denigrate women, there are many who do so in other, more subtle ways even if they are unaware of it. This study proposes to challenge such a view of women by exposing the ways in which perceptions of women are constructed by society, which frequently wants to maintain the status quo of male dominance. This study employs a feminist approach in examining this gynocentric theme, along with cultural studies which, with its focus on power relations and ways of decentring power structures, is also clearly of use. In addition, this multidisciplinary approach of cultural studies offers the possibility of studying literary texts as well as popular culture. Three specific time periods are examined, with a view to uncovering negative perceptions of women and ways that women can resist such attempts to control them. In chapter one, the focus turns to contemporary perceptions of prehistoric women and the ways that so-called ‘objective’ science has failed to represent women accurately. Similarly, ‘objective’ accounts of Goddess-worship – which frequently fail to examine this phenomenon adequately – are revisited. Alice Walker’s The Temple of My Familiar (1989) is discussed as a text which acts as a site of resistance to societally-informed perceptions. Chapter two continues this investigation by turning to the concept of the witch and its maligned association with women. Woman and witchcraft, having been associated for centuries, are investigated as a pairing which frequently results because iii of attempts to control women by androcentric society. In such situations, the practising of witchcraft can actually become a form of resistance to patriarchy. The pernicious effect of society’s need to purge itself – by witch hunts – of witches is also investigated. The Devil’s Chimney (1997) by Anne Landsman and “The prophetess” (1994) by Njabulo S. Ndebele are discussed as texts which examine fictionalised South African versions of this phenomenon. Sinead O’Connor, the Irish singer, is the ‘bitch’ discussed in chapter three. She is examined as a woman who offers strong and on-going resistance to patriarchal ways of thinking which would ‘box’ women in. This singer refuses to accept societal roles which are offered to women and so offers means of resistance to patriarchy, many of which are discussed in this chapter. This study concludes that it is the responsibility of women to resist patriarchy and to define roles for themselves. The three chapters examine various means of resistance and offer women insight into the forms of opposition they themselves can take.

Annotation:

The postmodern worldview wanes as the millennium turns and the Millennial Generation matures; at the same time, we rapidly launch into the digital age. Information technology is developing into a changeable, networked system of devices and interfaces that profoundly shapes our professional, intellectual, and social lives. Online reading and navigation influence epistemology and perception; similarly, engagement with ergodic texts, i. e., print and film texts that require significant effort to traverse, results in enhanced cognition. Prismatic perception is a neologism that describes an emerging mythology of the mind in the information age. This fantasy of omniscient perception is rooted in images of potentiality networked with connecting strands that construct an image of a centerless web, similar to Indra's Net and the World Wide Web.

Literary theory draws on both art and philosophy and therefore directly reflects an era's defining characteristics. Deconstruction as described by Jacques Derrida serves as a precursor to hypertext theory; these two theories work collaboratively to delineate this emerging era. Reader response theory emphasizes the reader's role and correlates with the expanding participation and power of readers, writers, and creators in digital formats. Recombinant art, i. e., collaged and remixed creations that play and interact with other artists' previous works, proliferates as the culture of free and open sharing rises.

This dissertation illustrates the concept of prismatic perception with mythological symbols and images of infinity drawn from literature and film, particularly the works of Jorge Luis Borges, the Chinese classic I Ching, Mark Z. Danielewski's novel House of Leaves, and Christopher Nolan's films Memento and Inception. This work examines current issues concerning social aspects of technology, particularly recent controversies over information access. Postmodernism was characterized by the prefixes post- and de-; the prefixes that best suit the emerging era are meta- and re- as people generate, investigate, contemplate, rework, and participate in the vast accumulation of connecting and interacting information and ideas.

Keywords: Information society; information technology—social aspects—forecasting; technology—social aspects; computers and civilization; Borges, Jorge Luis, 1899-1986; deconstruction; reader-response criticism.

“American Imperception” explores how early American writers investigated the role that political economy plays in the relation between sensory perception and knowledge. This dissertation argues that nineteenth-century American writers used literature to teach their readers to understand how economic forms and forms of economic activity fundamentally shape and train the sensorium to sense in historically and contextually specific ways. In “American Imperception,” I show how literature can make legible otherwise insensible forms of social and economic relations. The impossibility of sensing social and economic form—and the way in which that impossibility is rendered through literature—is what I call in this project “imperception.” Imperception describes the way in which literary form makes intelligible the structures of social, political, and economic life: structures that themselves cannot be sensed directly and which therefore cannot be directly represented by literature. “American Imperception” is focused on how literature interacts with social life within a capitalist modernity defined by the value form and the commodity form, and how literature formalizes the structures of social life through a specifically literary logic, transforming them into something that can be read where they cannot be seen, heard, felt, or represented. This dissertation draws on Karl Marx’s thinking on the senses and the suprasensible to consider how U.S. writers of the nineteenth-century mobilized literary form to make thinkable forms of sociality that cannot be contained by the imperceptible nature of sociality under capital. As I show in this dissertation, the political economy of social life determines what can be sensed, just as what can be sensed marks the horizon of political and social possibility

Annotation:

This dissertation peruses the question of alienation through two short stories by the local writer Hon Lai-chu. The first objective is to delineate the exact form and content that the phenomenon of alienation assumes, its particularity in specific spatio-temporal settings, and the necessary relation of it to space and people within the contexts. At the centre of my materialist analysis lies a deprivation of what I call the right to space, and concomitant resistance by the narrators. The clarification of the specificity of alienation helps an understanding of it in and beyond any (con) text: It is but one form of an exploitative logic, of man imposed on man. Thus the urgent task now is as much to trace the various major ramifications of human exploitation, in different cultures across different periods, through which the nature of human condition can be gauged, as to pave a way to articulation of localisms instead of Localism, with respect to the situation of Hong Kong. The second objective so registers a refusal of a reductive and totalizing rubric of describing our city. I instead seek to ascribe the validity of this description to the average person. It is through their actions and voices in everyday life that they regain, however briefly, the right to space, and therewith constitute personal resistance which I give the name localisms.

Der volle Inhalt der Quelle

Annotation:

Old English poetry is centred on the concept of community and the importance of belonging. Landscape was a component of any community since, during the period when Old English poetry was being composed and written down, the landscape was a far more important constituent of daily life than it is for the majority of people today. Landscape dictated the places that could be settled, as well as the placing of the paths, fords, and bridges that joined them; it controlled boundaries, occupations, and trading routes. In the poetry of the period landscape, as part of the fabric of community, is the arbiter of whether each element of a community is in its proper place and relationship to the others. It is the means of explaining how a community is constructed, policed, and empowered. Erring communities can be corrected or threats averted through the medium of landscape which also positions communities in place and time. Landscape is presented as the cause of dissension in heaven, the consequent creation of hell, and the key to comprehension of the fundamental difference between them. The linguistic landscapes of Old English poetry are a functional component of the meaning inherent in the narratives.

Annotation:

The thesis examines a series of nineteenth century poets whose poems are concerned with complex relations of looking and perception, and concentrates on Shelley and the poets he influenced: Browning, Rossetti, Swinburne, and Hardy. It focusses on poems dealing with the visual arts and aesthetic modes of perception, and concludes with a study of Walter Pater - an unrecognised follower of Shelley - and his notions of artistic character. An emphasis on the way face and bodily form are scrutinised, in poems concerning painting, sculpture and portraiture, leads to the hypothesis that the way the poet pictures essence or character through corporeal form is correlative to the essence or character of his own poetry. The particular spatial relations and visual representations of the poetry provide an index to specific patterns of reading. At the heart of this examination is a Shelleyan conception of the "unsculptured image", the characterising force and pre-given perspective of a poet's poem, which has a primary shaping effect on his language and representations, and continues to exert itself in the poem's reading. As this "image" is an imaginative rather than purely linguistic force, the analyses of selected poems avoid reduction to considerations of language and rhetoric alone, seeking rather to engage with the question of what constitutes a writer's own essence or particularity and what gives a strong poem its compulsive power. The thesis draws on the work of the French literary critic Maurice Blanchot to inform its ideas of poetic space and depth, and to produce an understanding of the poetic text very different from that given by a classical reading; and so alter the way one perceives the poem as literary object. In addition to this, certain nineteenth century and earlier aesthetic writings, and the prose works of the poets themselves, establish the critical basis of the arguments advanced. The thesis also endeavours to follow through the arguments of traditional scholarship in order to provide critique on distinctions or departures made. Chapter I examines Shelley's 'On the Medusa of Leonardo da Vinci in the Florentine Gallery'; Chapter II deals with portraiture in Browning's 'My Last Duchess' and Rossetti's The Portrait'; Chapter III turns to the sculpture of the hermaphrodite in Swinburne's early lyric 'Hermaphroditus'; Chapter IV looks at Thomas Hardy's poems about sketches and shades; Chapter V is an epilogue in which the work of Walter Pater draws together the ideas developed in the rest of the thesis.

Annotation:

Moby Dick, House of Leaves, and Ex Machina portray characters that rely on a form of technology to navigate their respective environments. As such, their settings are remediated spaces – spaces understood through their relationship with technology. The inhabitants of remediated spaces inherently resemble the cyborg as their perspectives fuse with machines in their understanding of space. Captain Ahab from Moby Dick must rely on his ivory leg and ship for mobility, often merging himself with the machine of the vessel. House of Leaves provides a space and family that exist exclusively within the confines of found footage, fusing technology and humanity through layers of remediation. Ex Machina illustrates a gynoid escaping an imprisoning facility, a machine called Ava that physically resembles a human. Using theorists such as Donna Haraway and Henri Lefebvre, this thesis explores connections between technology and space.

Annotation:

Adolescents with Intellectual disabilities (ID) have the same sexual and physiological developments as typically developing adolescents, including the same sexual feeling and sexual needs. However, because of cognitive limitations and lack of self-care abilities, they have a higher risk of sexual assault than others. As all other youth they need sex education to prevent sexual exploitation and to learn how to protect themselves. Since parents often are the primary caregivers of adolescents with ID, and they are also the primary educators of adolescents’ sexual education, parents play a crucial role in the development of adolescents’ sexual behavior. It is vital to understand what parents’ perceptions on sex education are. In the past, there have been few studies on the perceptions of parents on sexual education for adolescents with ID. Therefore, this paper aims to explore their perceptions through a systematic literature review. A series of electronic databases were searched, and three studies were identified for the review based on inclusion criteria. Content analysis was used to synthesize the results of the included studies. Findings show that mothers want to provide appropriate sex education for their children, including how to protect themselves and education on inappropriate sexual behavior, and family planning is not included in sex education, and believed that school could be the best choice regarding on providing sex education. The study also found that mothers have barriers to providing sexual education, such as lack resources and supports, poor knowledge about the sexuality, lack of confidence and sexuality is a very private matter. But there are also facilitators, the important role and responsibility of the mothers in providing sex education in the family, and the open and honest way in which the mother communicates with her children about sexual issues. These findings will help teachers or practitioners to consider the situation of parents when developing sex education programmes for adolescents with ID.

Corrective feedback (CF) has been identified as an effective means for improving pronunciation in second language (L2) speech production, but there has been a general lack of relevant empirical studies regarding its effects on L2 speech perception. The current study was designed to investigate (a) the extent to which the perceptual accuracy of L2 learners is influenced by instruction with and without CF, and (b) the reasons for differential treatment effects. Thirty-two Korean participants comprising Instruction-only and Instruction + CF groups were exposed to five one-hour pronunciation lessons that drew their attention to the English phonemic contrast /i/-/ɪ/, while only the Instruction + CF group was given relevant feedback. Forced identification tasks were provided to participants in a pretest, an immediate posttest, and a delayed posttest. Both groups showed improvement on natural and duration-synthesized /i/, while only the Instruction + CF group showed an increase in perceptual accuracy vis-à-vis /ɪ/. Both groups retained the acquired knowledge after two weeks, but only the feedback group was able to transfer it to new words. These findings are discussed in terms of the pivotal role played by CF in developing accuracy in L2 speech perception.
Bien que l'on ait observé que la rétroaction corrective (RC) s'avère un moyen efficace d'améliorer la prononciation dans la production orale en langue seconde (L2), il existe peu d'études empiriques portant sur ses effets sur la perception de la parole en L2. La présente étude a été conçue pour explorer (a) dans quelle mesure un enseignement avec et sans RC influe sur l'exactitude de la perception chez les apprenants de L2 par et (b) les raisons des effets des traitements différents. Trente-deux participants coréens, répartis en deux groupes, l'un avec enseignement sans RC et le second avec RC, ont suivi cinq cours de prononciation de 60 minutes qui attiraient leur attention sur le contraste phonémique /i/-/ɪ/ en anglais alors que seuls les membres du second groupe recevaient une rétroaction pertinente. Les participants ont eu à effectuer des tâches d'identification forcée dans le cadre d'un pré-test, d'un post-test immédiat et d'un post-test différé. Les membres des deux groupes ont amélioré leur rendement relatif à /i/ naturel et à /i/ synthétisé d'une durée modifiée, tandis que seuls ceux du groupe avec RC ont accru l'exactitude de leur perception de /ɪ/. Les participants des deux groupes ont maintenu les connaissances acquises après deux semaines, mais seuls ceux du groupe avec RC étaient en mesure de les transférer à des mots nouveaux. L'analyse de ces résultats montre le rôle essentiel de la RC dans le développement de l'exactitude de la perception de la parole en L2.

Annotation:

This dissertation explores how American representations of Italians and Italian Americans engaged, reflected and helped shape the United States' developing concepts of immigration, ethnicity, race, and national identity from 1880 to 1910, when masses of Italian and other "new immigrants" rigorously tested the country's attitudes and powers of assimilation. In a larger sense, the research examines how the process of constructing the modern Italian/Italian American was part of the process of America constructing for itself a modern national identity for a new century.;The dissertation looks at a variety of "texts," including journalism, travel literature, autobiography, fiction, and photographs and illustrations of the period, but concentrates on a handful of American writers and their works. Chapter 1 compares the reportage and photography of the immigrant journalist Jacob A. Riis with the reporting of the "new" immigrant journalist Edward A. Steiner. Chapter 2 examines Henry James's The American Scene in the context of his other writings on Italy and Italians, including travel essays, short stories, and The Golden Bowl . Chapter 3 focuses on Mark Twain's The Innocents Abroad and I. Also part of the discussion are two works by William Dean Howells, Venetian Life and A Hazard of New Fortunes .;The research showed that these writers alternately supported and subverted America's often conflicting and confused attitudes and ideas about Italy and Italians, a tangle of discourses related to the romance of artistic, heroic, picturesque Italy and the reality of the Italian "Other" arriving in the form of masses of immigrants on American shores.

Annotation:

This thesis examines three images associated with the manuscripts and early printed editions of Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde which I have dubbed “Prostrate Troilus,” “Pandarus as Messenger,” and “Criseyde in the Garden.” These images are artifacts of contemporary textual interpretation that “read” Chaucer’s text and the tale of Troilus. They each illustrate the way in which Troilus, Pandarus, and Criseyde “read” images, gestures, symbols, and speeches within the narrative, and they show how these characters are constrained and influenced by their individual primary modes of perception. Troilus reads but does not analyze. Pandarus actively reads his own meanings into messages. Criseyde’s reading is reflective. Ultimately, the different interpretive strategies that Chaucer explores in Troilus mirror those of Chaucer’s readers.

Annotation:

The present project sets out to discover what the Xingshi yinyuan zhuan ('A Tale of Marriage Destinies that will Bring Society to its Senses'), an anonymous novel of manners from seventeenth-century China, can tell us about life in the world out of which it emerged. Seventeenth-century records depict China on the verge of modernity as a world torn between the traditional agricultural society and the new challenges of urban life, commerce and a money economy. The shifts from conventional norms and values gave rise to concepts of Utopia and anti-utopia: to nostalgia for the lost paradise of the past and to apocalyptic satire on present conditions. Scholars have noted the prominence of utopianism in seventeenthcentury fiction but no detailed study has been undertaken so far. Utopianism is here explored in terms of the indigenous Chinese traditions. The text of the Xingshi yinyuan zhuan is analysed to see how it perceives and reflects the seventeenth century Chinese world. Utopia serves as an analytical construct to recreate a glimpse of society and the moral evaluation of the world through the eyes of a contemporary observer. The body of the thesis analyses three major motifs in the Xingshi yinyuan zhuan: the healers, the elite and the mother. Critical comparison with other contemporary literary and historical sources attempts to place the novel into its context. The visions of Utopia and anti-utopia provide insight into the dreams and nightmares as seventeenth-century Chinese minds may have perceived them, shedding light on the vernacular culture as opposed to the officially recognised and imperially ordained culture of China.

Huxley’s Brave New World portrays a futuristic hyperbole of mankind’s future as a result of technological advancements. From a New Historical perspective, this essay examines how BNW satirizes contemporary society by satire where the audience is both a part of the problem and solution. Through the use of satire Huxley’s novel successfully portrays horrific examples of how human life in a not so distant future may find that the technology which revolutionized our lives actually enslaves us. Post-novel examples such as Hitler and his Nazi regime is a real life example of the type of totalitarian regime that is possible as a direct result of scientific progress in many fields. In this paper, however, posterity is excluded from the analysis. Instead this essay focuses on the contemporary society as depicted in early 20th century literature and how it reflects identifiable satirical elements in BNW. The analysis depicts how several discourses of contemporary industrialized Britain such as rationalism, socialism, industrialism, freedom, religion and political indifference are reflected in the novel. Ultimately, Huxley’s dystopian reflection of human future taunts us, the audience, by directly and indirectly illuminating the dangers of blindly accepting scientific advancements in the name of progress. The one, perhaps most relevant question the novel raises is – are we truly free when we are free to have the most wonderful time?

Background: Demands to be cared for and die at home are increasing nowadays. The holistic approach of palliative care is to emphasize on alleviating physical and psychological distresses and psychosocial support to patients and their families. The nurses have a significant role in promoting palliative care as guidelines of The National Board of Health and Welfare and The World Health Organization (WHO). Aim: To describe nurses' experiences and perceptions in providing palliative care to adult patients at home. Method: A general literature review of ten scientific articles were retrieved from CINAHL and MEDLINE. The collected data were analysed systematically before processing into the result. Results: Three themes and seven subthemes are identified. Three themes describe: supporting patients and their families, improving work efficiency and organizational factors. Seven subthemes present nurses’ experiences in handling psychosocial and emotional issues, strengthen empowerment, building relationships, interprofessional collaboration, self-development, workload and lack of time, and organization support. Conclusion: The results indicate the importance of increasing knowledge and skills in providing the holistic palliative home care for patients and their families. Organizations' supports and effective interprofessional collaboration are fundamental attributions in promoting adequate palliative care.
Bakgrund: Allt fler väljer att vårdas och dö hemma vilket medför ett ökande palliativt vårdbehov i hemmet. Holistiskt förhållningsätt av palliativ sjukvård fokuserar på att lindra fysiskt, psykiskt symtom och existentiellt stöd till patienter och deras familjer. Sjuksköterskor har en viktig roll i att främja palliativ omvårdnaden utifrån vägledningen av Socialstyrelsens och Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO). Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter och upplevelser av palliativ vård av vuxna patienter i hemmet. Metod: En allmän litteraturöversiktstudie genomfördes på tio vetenskapliga artiklar som hämtades från databaserna CINAHL och MEDLINE. Insamlad data analyserades systematiskt innan de bearbetades för resultaten. Resultat: Tre huvudteman och sju underteman har identifierats. De tre huvudteman beskriver upplevelser av: stöd till patienter och deras familjer, förbättring av arbetseffektiviteten och organisationsfaktorer. De sju underteman beskriver hur sjuksköterskor hanterar psykosociala och emotionella frågor, förstärkande av empowerment, hur man bygger upp en vårdrelation, interprofessionellt samarbete, självutveckling, arbetsbelastning och tidsbrist samt organisationsstöd. Slutsats: Resultaten pekar på angelägenheten i att förbättra vårdpersonalens kunskap och färdigheter i att sörja för holistiskt palliativ hemsjukvård av patienter och deras familjer. Organisationsstöd och goda interprofessionella samarbeten är en förutsättning för att förbättra kvaliteten i den palliativa sjukvården.

Resumo: Sabe-se que a poesia de João Cabral de Melo Neto faz parte de um projeto poético que preza pela lucidez e rigidez formal, e, por outro lado, constitui-se de poemas expressivos e comoventes. Notamos que a primeira constatação é tão salientada nos estudos sobre a obra do poeta que a segunda é, muitas vezes, desprezada. Entendemos que tal fenômeno se deve ao fato de que esse suposto caráter racional da poesia cabralina possibilita sua distinção das outras poesias, tornado-a peculiar. Entretanto, embora a comoção chegue a caracterizar poesia, de modo geral, a que se constrói na obra de João Cabral é tão atípica quanto sua abordagem lógica. Desse modo, o presente estudo propõe a análise de poemas em que a coexistência dos fatores considerados é exemplar, os quais se denominam "Estudos para uma bailadora andaluza", "Paisagem pelo telefone", "A mulher e a casa", "A palavra seda", "Imitação da água" e "Jogos frutais". Estes estão reunidos em Quaderna, de 1960, obra do poeta que concentra, de modo mais relevante, poemas que abordam a figura feminina. Defendemos que essa figura dos poemas difere da expressão poética que a tradição tem construído, a princípio por estar expressa por meio da linguagem cabralina "típica", formal e estruturalmente rígida, contudo apresenta intensa sensorialidade. Notamos, inclusive, uma exaltação do feminino, que transcende a forma, o corpo em si, perpassa todo espaço poético e as palavras, culminando em uma celebração da própria poesia. Portanto, há um interessante paradoxo que procuramos investigar: como o feminino, que tem sido considerado como um tema lírico, pelo sentimentalismo com o qual é associado na poesia em geral, aparece nesta poética chamada "anti-lírica", pelo laconismo e racionalismo imperantes. Além de se tratar de um aspecto menos evidenciado pela crítica, esta aparente... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: It is known that João Cabral de Melo Neto's poetry belongs to a poetic project which values the lucidity and formal rigidity and, on the other hand, is constituted by expressive and touching poems. We note that the first finding is so stressed in studies on poet's work that the second is often neglected. We understand that this phenomenon is due to the fact that this supposedly rational character of João Cabral's poetry allows its distinction from other poetry, making it unique. However, although commotion usually characterizes poetry, in general, the one which is built on João Cabral's work is as atypical as its logical approach. Therefore, this study proposes the analysis of poems in which the factors considered's coexistence is exemplary; they are called "Estudos para uma bailadora andaluza", "Paisagem pelo telefone", "A mulher e a casa", "A palavra seda", "Imitação da água", and "Jogos frutais". These are gathered in Quaderna, 1960, the poet's work which concentrates poems that come up with the female figure in a more relevant way. We defend that this poem figure differs from poetic expression that the tradition has built, at first for being expressed through João Cabral typical language, formal and structurally rigid, however presents intense sensoriality. There is even a feminine exaltation, which transcends the form, the body itself, involves the whole poetic space and the words, culminating in a celebration of the own poetry. So there is an interesting paradox that we investigate: how the feminine, which has been regarded as a lyrical theme by the sentimentality with which is involved in poetry in general, appears in this poetic called "anti-lyrical", by laconism and rationalism prevailing. Even we considerate an aspect less evidenced by the criticism, this apparent incongruity justifies the research interest, through which we seek... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Annotation:

Realism is a mode of representation that purports to depict contemporary society objectively and in its entirety. By contrast, modernist artists are often regarded as having turned away from external reality to represent subjective states and to emphasize the artistic (versus mimetic) qualities of art. Building on recent scholarship that has demonstrated that Spanish realist authors were mindful of the limitations of the realist project, this study examines frames as devices through which both realist and modernist authors and artists working in fin-de-siècle Spain signal the limits of perception and representation.
