Abstract:
In recent years the knowledge and the practices in the field of evaluation have been accumulated and different evaluation models are being discussed in the literature. There are a variety of evaluation models which describe how to conduct a particular type of evaluation. As a human service organization, psychiatry has a particular organizational structure. Seeking to enhance understanding of evaluation models in psychiatry is a need to be covered. To understand the evaluation activity in psychiatry and to question a suitable evaluation model are the aims of this study. The method of this study is a theoretical analysis. By probing into analysing of some examples of evaluation in Swedish psychiatry, a number of core criteria are highlighted. As the results, it comes up that the evaluation activity in psychiatry seems to be “top-down” which is informative and traditional way. Despite evaluation tradition had been highly recognised in psychiatry, the evaluation model is still a question in the field. Based on implications, it emerges three variables in the context of evaluation in psychiatry; facts, values and participation of different actors. By containing these three variables in its context, stakeholder evaluation model seem to be suitable model in psychiatry. This article enables a theoretical ground for the appearance of evaluation in psychiatry and gives implications in regard to stakeholder model as an appropriate evaluation model in psychiatry for future studies.

Abstract:
Outdoor workers are exposed to high levels of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and may thus be at greater risk to experience UVR-related health effects such as skin cancer, sun burn, and cataracts. A number of intervention trials (n=14) have aimed to improve outdoor workers’ work-related sun protection cognitions and behaviours. Only one study however has reported the use of UV-photography as part of a multi-component intervention. This study was performed in the USA and showed long-term (12 months) improvements in work-related sun protection behaviours. Intervention effects of the other studies have varied greatly, depending on the population studied, intervention applied, and measurement of effect. Previous studies have not assessed whether: - Interventions are similarly effective for workers in stringent and less stringent policy organisations; - Policy effect is translated into workers’ leisure time protection; - Implemented interventions are effective in the long-term; - The facial UV-photograph technique is effective in Australian male outdoor workers without a large additional intervention package, and; - Such interventions will also affect workers’ leisure time sun-related cognitions and behaviours. Therefore, the present Protection of Outdoor Workers from Environmental Radiation [POWER]-study aimed to fill these gaps and had the objectives of: a) assessing outdoor workers’ sun-related cognitions and behaviours at work and during leisure time in stringent and less stringent sun protection policy environments; b) assessing the effect of an appearance-based intervention on workers’ risk perceptions, intentions and behaviours over time; c) assessing whether the intervention was equally effective within the two policy settings; and d) assessing the immediate post-intervention effect. Effectiveness was described in terms of changes in sun-related risk perceptions and intentions (as these factors were shown to be main precursors of behaviour change in many health promotion theories) and behaviour. The study purposefully selected and recruited two organisations with a large outdoor worker contingent in Queensland, Australia within a 40 kilometre radius of Brisbane. The two organisations differed in the stringency of implementation and reinforcement of their organisational sun protection policy. Data were collected from 154 male predominantly Australian born outdoor workers with an average age of 37 years and predominantly medium to fair skin (83%). Sun-related cognitions and behaviours of workers were assessed using self-report questionnaires at baseline and six to twelve months later. Variation in follow-up time was due to a time difference in the recruitment of the two organisations. Participants within each organisation were assigned to an intervention or control group. The intervention group participants received a one-off personalised Skin Cancer Risk Assessment Tool [SCRAT]-letter and a facial UV-photograph with detailed verbal information. This was followed by an immediate post-intervention questionnaire within three months of the start of the study. The control group only received the baseline and follow-up questionnaire. Data were analysed using a variety of techniques including: descriptive analyses, parametric and non-parametric tests, and generalised estimating equations. A 15% proportional difference observed was deemed of clinical significance, with the addition of reported statistical significance (p<0.05) where applicable. Objective 1: Assess and compare the current sun-related risk perceptions, intentions, behaviours, and policy awareness of outdoor workers in stringent and less stringent sun protection policy settings. Workers within the two organisations (stringent n=89 and less stringent n=65) were similar in their knowledge about skin cancer, self efficacy, attitudes, and social norms regarding sun protection at work and during leisure time. Participants were predominantly in favour of sun protection. Results highlighted that compared to workers in a less stringent policy organisation working for an organisation with stringent sun protection policies and practices resulted in more desirable sun protection intentions (less willing to tan p=0.03) ; actual behaviours at work (sufficient use of upper and lower body protection, headgear, and sunglasses (p<0.001 for all comparisons), and greater policy awareness (awareness of repercussions if Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was not used, p<0.001)). However the effect of the work-related sun protection policy was found not to extend to leisure time sun protection. Objective 2: Compare changes in sun-related risk perceptions, intentions, and behaviours between the intervention and control group. The effect of the intervention was minimal and mainly resulted in a clinically significant reduction in work-related self-perceived risk of developing skin cancer in the intervention compared to the control group (16% and 32% for intervention and control group, respectively estimated their risk higher compared to other outdoor workers: , p=0.11). No other clinical significant effects were observed at 12 months follow-up. Objective 3: Assess whether the intervention was equally effective in the stringent sun protection policy organisation and the less stringent sun protection policy organisation. The appearance-based intervention resulted in a clinically significant improvement in the stringent policy intervention group participants’ intention to protect from the sun at work (workplace*time interaction, p=0.01). In addition to a reduction in their willingness to tan both at work (will tan at baseline: 17% and 61%, p=0.06, at follow-up: 54% and 33%, p=0.07, stringent and less stringent policy intervention group respectively. The workplace*time interaction was significant p<0.001) and during leisure time (will tan at baseline: 42% and 78%, p=0.01, at follow-up: 50% and 63%, p=0.43, stringent and less stringent policy intervention group respectively. The workplace*time interaction was significant p=0.01) over the course of the study compared to the less stringent policy intervention group. However, no changes in actual sun protection behaviours were found. Objective 4: Examine the effect of the intervention on level of alarm and concern regarding the health of the skin as well as sun protection behaviours in both organisations. The immediate post-intervention results showed that the stringent policy organisation participants indicated to be less alarmed (p=0.04) and concerned (p<0.01) about the health of their skin and less likely to show the facial UV-photograph to others (family p=0.03) compared to the less stringent policy participants. A clinically significantly larger proportion of participants from the stringent policy organisation reported they worried more about skin cancer (65%) and skin freckling (43%) compared to those in the less stringent policy organisation (46%,and 23% respectively , after seeing the UV-photograph). In summary the results of this study suggest that the having a stringent work-related sun protection policy was significantly related to for work-time sun protection practices, but did not extend to leisure time sun protection. This could reflect the insufficient level of sun protection found in the general Australian population during leisure time. Alternatively, reactance caused by being restricted in personal decisions through work-time policy could have contributed to lower leisure time sun protection. Finally, other factors could have also contributed to the less than optimal leisure time sun protection behaviours reported, such as unmeasured personal or cultural barriers. All these factors combined may have lead to reduced willingness to take proper preventive action during leisure time exposure. The intervention did not result in any measurable difference between the intervention and control groups in sun protection behaviours in this population, potentially due to the long lag time between the implementation of the intervention and assessment at 12-months follow-up. In addition, high levels of sun protection behaviours were found at baseline (ceiling effect) which left little room for improvement. Further, this study did not assess sunscreen use, which was the predominant behaviour assessed in previous effective appearance-based interventions trials. Additionally, previous trials were mainly conducted in female populations, whilst the POWER-study’s population was all male. The observed immediate post-intervention result could be due to more emphasis being placed on sun protection and risks related to sun exposure in the stringent policy organisation. Therefore participants from the stringent policy organisation could have been more aware of harmful effects of UVR and hence, by knowing that they usually protect adequately, not be as alarmed or concerned as the participants from the less stringent policy organisation. In conclusion, a facial UV-photograph and SCRAT-letter information alone may not achieve large changes in sun-related cognitions and behaviour, especially of assessed 6-12 months after the intervention was implemented and in workers who are already quite well protected. Differences found between workers in the present study appear to be more attributable to organisational policy. However, against a background of organisational policy, this intervention may be a useful addition to sun-related workplace health and safety programs. The study findings have been interpreted while respecting a number of limitations. These have included non-random allocation of participants due to pre-organised allocation of participants to study group in one organisation and difficulty in separating participants from either study group. Due to the transient nature of the outdoor worker population, only 105 of 154 workers available at baseline could be reached for follow-up. (attrition rate=32%). In addition the discrepancy in the time to follow-up assessment between the two organisations was a limitation of the current study. Given the caveats of this research, the following recommendations were made for future research: - Consensus should be reached to define "outdoor worker" in terms of time spent outside at work as well as in the way sun protection behaviours are measured and reported. - Future studies should implement and assess the value of the facial UV-photographs in a wide range of outdoor worker organisations and countries. - More timely and frequent follow-up assessments should be implemented in intervention studies to determine the intervention effect and to identify the best timing of booster sessions to optimise results. - Future research should continue to aim to target outdoor workers’ leisure time cognitions and behaviours and improve these if possible. Overall, policy appears to be an important factor in workers’ compliance with work-time use of sun protection. Given the evidence generated by this research, organisations employing outdoor workers should consider stringent implementation and reinforcement of a sun protection policy. Finally, more research is needed to improve ways to generate desirable behaviour in this population during leisure time.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether men with a large amount of Muscle Dysmorphia symptoms had a more favorable outlook and opinion of body work. Participants in the current study were a convenience sample of men recruited from undergraduate classes at Western Kentucky University and the community of Bowling Green Kentucky and Somerset Kentucky. A total of 215 men completed the study. Participants completed the Muscle Dysmorphia Inventory (MDI) and the Attitude-Behavior Questionnaire (ABQ). Results indicate scores on the MDI were significant predictors of scores on the ABQ. This suggests that men with a high number of Muscle Dysmorphia symptoms have a more favorable outlook and opinion of body work.

Abstract:
Alors qu'ils demeurent des foyers importants de la pratique des femmes, les sports à vocation esthétique font l'objet de très peu d'enquêtes en sociologie. Leur intérêt réside dans le fait qu'ils se distinguent des activités sportives « ordinaires », en ce qu'ils entretiennent une proximité forte avec les pratiques culturelles et artistiques (Mennesson et Julhe, 2012). Ce faisant, l'apparence physique constitue une dimension centrale du processus de socialisation engagé par ces pratiquant·es et des évaluations formulées par les juges de ces disciplines. Ainsi, la thèse se centre sur la question des « possibles corporels » (Schotté, 2016) offerts aux pratiquant·es ainsi qu'aux juges, qui s'expriment via leur notation des performances.Menée sur deux terrains sportifs, à savoir le twirling bâton et la gymnastique rythmique, qui entretiennent une proximité forte sur les plans moteur et réglementaire, l'enquête ethnographique met au jour des configurations différenciées des modèles de genre (Connell et Messershmidt, 2015) promus au sein des deux disciplines, qui s'expliquent à la fois par un décalage dans leur recrutement social et sexué et dans leur degré d'institutionnalisation. Si certain·es entraîneur·es et juges tentent de s'affranchir des normes esthétiques et de genre en vigueur dans ces espaces, elles et ils ne parviennent finalement jamais à renverser l'ordre de genre hétérosexuel établi. Dès lors, ce travail permet de mettre au jour « les habits neufs de la domination masculine » (De Singly, 1993) dans des espaces historiquement appréhendés comme des voies d'empowerment pour les femmes
Although they remain important areas of practice for women, aesthetic sports are the subject of very few sociological studies. Their interest lies in the fact that they differ from "ordinary" sporting activities, in that they maintain a strong proximity to cultural and artistic practices (Mennesson and Julhe, 2012). Physical appearance constitutes a central dimension of the practitioners' socialization, as well as of the judges' evaluations in these disciplines. Thus, the thesis focuses on the question of "bodily possibilities" (Schotté, 2016) offered to practitioners and judges, as expressed through their performance ratings.The ethnographic study has been carried out in two sports fields - twirling baton and rhythmic gymnastics - which are very similar in terms of motor and regulatory aspects. However, the two disciplines promote differentiated configurations of models of gender (Connell and Messershmidt, 2015). This can be explained by a discrepancy in their social and gendered recruitment and by a differentiated degree of institutionalization. While some coaches and judges attempt to emancipate from these spaces' aesthetic and gender norms, they never succeed in overturning the established heterosexual gender order. In this way, our work brings to light "the new clothes of male domination" (De Singly, 1993) in spaces historically apprehended as paths to empowerment for women

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter reviews the literature examining interventions to reduce indoor tanning (IT). The first objective was to highlight programs that show promise for large scale dissemination. The second objective was to promote criteria and standards for future intervention research efforts. The scope of interest for this review includes universal (for everyone in the population), selective (for those in the population who are at a greater risk), and indicated (for those who already are experiencing conditions that identify them as at risk) programs. The evaluation of the interventions resulted in three levels of evidence: (1) most promising, (2) emerging, and (3) mixed. For an intervention to be considered “most promising”, it was required that ten criteria be met through examination of research findings in published reports consistent with Flay and colleagues (Prev Sci 6(3):151–175, 2005). Interventions that were classified as “emerging” met most of the criteria. Finally, interventions classified as “mixed” did not reach threshold on more than two criteria that were deemed critical. The results revealed that there was very limited research on IT interventions that meet all the evaluation criteria. Only one intervention approach met all of the criteria (Appearance Booklet) (Hillhouse and Turrisi, Behav Med 25(4):395–409, 2002; Hillhouse et al., Cancer 113(11):3257–3266, 2008). Although the number of published papers in the IT area has increased dramatically over the past decade, these efforts have yet to translate into rigorously conducted intervention trials. The review points to important issues that need to be addressed in future research on the prevention of IT. Keywords

Title: Motivating factors influencing consumers’ Brand preferences for mobile phones: University of Gavle students Level: Final assignment for Master degree in Business Administration (MBA) Authors: Chinedu Ekemba and Emurla Emin Ali Supervisor: Professor Ehsanul Huda Chowdhury Examiner: Professor Maria Fregidou-Malama Date: 2017- June Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the motivating factors that influence University Gavle students to prefer a particular Mobile phone brand. Method: A qualitative study is carried out based on primary data; the primary data was collected through semi-structured interview with twenty of University of Gavle Students by the use of face to face interview. Result & Conclusion: The study finds out that, the role of word of mouth as extrinsic factors serves as the highest motivating factor, while prestige serves as intrinsic factors of motivation. Thus, word of mouth and quality are the highest motivating factors that influence University of Gavle students to prefer a particular mobile phone brand. This finding of this research will help mobile phone marketers and managers to develop strategy on how to capture Swedish consumers to prefer their companies brand products. Suggestion for future research: Future research could be done by considering different or more widely target groups instead of students of University of Gavle. Different perspectives can be combined in future research thus, further research can be conducted by more broadly with a variety of age groups and in a wider area. Also, further research could include comparison between mobile phone brand types and may consider different type of products. This will give understanding of the different segments in mobile phone market, and to determine if these different segments can cause any variety and change of motivating factors. Additionally, further research could be conducted in the long time period, thus can be explored in detail benefiting from the longitudinal study and could be include observations to understand long-term variables on mobile phone market and effects of motivating factors. Hence, this could bring more effective conceptualization of influencing factors of smartphone buying consumers and helps to achieve a more in-depth research. More so, the same study can be conducted with a combination of different Universities in Sweden. And also, same research can be carried out using quantitative research method for future research. Contribution of the Study: This study contributes with knowledge on which motivating factors influence customers brand preferences, and how these factors affect their purchase decision.

Abstract:
La société en participation ne s'analyse pas comme une société classique. Elle ne se dissout pas, elle est résolue ou résiliée, comme tout contrat de partenariat. Sa force, sa réalité, demeure dans le contrat librement choisi par les participants, tant dans son élaboration que dans l'organisation même de la société, situation intermédiaire entre un contrat classique et les sociétés institution. C'est l'application du principe d'autonomie de la volonté. Dans ce cas de figure, l'affectio societatis se rapproche le plus de la notion de jus fraternitatis, du moins lors de l'élaboration des statuts, ce que certains auteurs nomment l'affectio contractus. Finalement, en raison de son caractère éminemment contractuel, à la place de société en participation, ne faudrait-il pas plutôt l'appeler contrat de société en participation ? Il s'agit dès lors de lui reconnaître son caractère de contrat à part entière, un contrat nommé du Code civil. La jurisprudence semble aller dans ce sens.

Abstract From the interpenetration between an artwork’s content and form, it can often be seen how the artist reflects on reality. When we study Yang Mao-Lin’s artworks under the context of Taiwan’s art history, we can see how his works reflect the empirical experience of individuals meeting the environment. His art form embodies a speculative spirit through its diversified appearance. From such a distinct art form, not only can we see a variety of vivid presentations that keep abreast with the times, but we can also examine greater historical problems through the analyzed contents that lie deep within. This paper examines Yang Mao-Lin’s artworks in four aspects. The first part focuses on Yang Mao-Lin’s biographical aspects. Based on current, related literature, I will analyze the relations between the artist’s life and his creation of artworks. The second part is a study of his artworks regarding their features and changes over time. From the perspective of artworks as a whole as well as artworks as parts of a chronicle, I will present the characteristics in Yang Mao-Lin’s artistic developments. The third part is an analysis on the artworks themselves. I will examine Yang Mao-Lin’s works under the context of Taiwan’s art history and compare it with other artworks to show their influence and position. The fourth part studies Yang Mao-Lin’s art criticism literature and, from the bilateral communication between artwork and criticism, further creates new values for Yang Mao-Lin’s artworks.

As smart mobile devices have become universal, many enterprises advertise their products or services by using stickers of communication applications (APPs)to promote their brands.. This research aims to examine the causal relationship between the physical attractiveness of LINE stickers and consumer behaviors. The results showed that the physical attractiveness and the costs of brand stickers have a significant main effect on users’ intention to download the stickers. However, there is no interaction effect between the physical attractiveness and the costs of brand stickers. Besides, the physical attractiveness of brand stickers has significant effects on both self-presentation capacity and interpersonal attraction. In particular, interpersonal attraction produced by stickers has a positive effect on users’ intention to download the stickers. Moreover, both the physical attractiveness of brand stickers and the brand identity have significant effects on the attitude toward the brands. Participants’ attitude toward the brands has positive effects on product purchasing intention/service use intention. Further, consumers’ loyalty to the brand was found to moderate the effects of the physical attractiveness of brand stickers and the brand identity on brand attitude.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
Madeline Heilman’s (1983) Lack of Fit Model, which postulates why discrimination occurs in the selection of sex-typed jobs, has been applied to the interaction of applicant attractiveness. Yet recent research suggests that other appearance variables, namely sex-typed facial features, may be associated with perceptions of fit. Building upon Heilman’s 1983 model, the current study evaluated how sex-typed facial features relate to applicant selection for sex-typed fields. Undergraduate students were recruited for participation during the spring academic semester (n = 413) and data were analyzed using a 2x2x2 ANOVA. Results indicated that selection is significantly impacted by the three-way interaction of applicant sex, facial feature-type, and sex type of the applying field. Further, masculine-featured females and feminine-featured males were significantly less favored for selection within the feminine sex-typed field. Implications of these findings and the differential evaluation of male and female applicants in a feminine field are discussed.

This paper is a discourse on the creation, and discusses the relationship between the appearance image and self-recognition. Appearance is the starting point of the encounter, and is the outset for recognizing ourselves. “Encounter with oneself”, seeing oneself is a remarkable feeling; whether in front of the mirror, in a picture, or in front of the family and friends, we always have opportunities to encounter our own image. It is likewise in art creation. I attempt to find the true appearance of the self through art creation, and explore the inner feelings. In other words, it is another form of extension to self-portrait. The main theme is appearance image, and the media included cloth, threads, and paper pulp fibers. It attempted to integrate the materials and explore the possibilities of visual presentation, and bring the artwork and audience closer to each other through the construction of texture and touch. “Encounter with oneself” is not only for me but also in hoping that the audience could realize the self-recognition and introspect during the “face-to-face” meeting of the artwork. This paper comprises four parts: Chapter 1 introduces the creation motive, research methodology, and research scope. Chapter 2 is literature review and probes into “mirror image and appearance image”, “mask and appearance image”, “the self and appearance image of the artist” as the theoretic foundation for creation. Of which, “mirror image and appearance image” discusses the mirror stage of Jacques Lacan, “mask and appearance image” discusses the persona of Carl Jung, and “the self and appearance image of the artist” discusses the double or multiple self-portraits of Claude Cahun, Frida Kahlo, Egon Schiele, and De-Jin Shiy. Chapter 3 explains the idea of creation, the reasons for choosing fabric, thread, and pulp fiber as the media, and the processing of the media. Chapter 4 details the ideas and forms of the eight series of my creative works.

Alarming global crime levels lead to increased incarcerations, resulting in changes in the dynamics of the offender population. Developments that call for urgent progressive reforms of corrections, thereby fast-tracking the employment of female officers. A qualitative study was conducted to explore the lived work experiences of 17 female correctional officers, at Kgoši Mampuru II Management Area in Pretoria, South Africa, to determine how they shape their work identity in this male-dominated sector. An interpretive phenomenological analysis methodology is applied, informed by the Social Identity Theory (SIT) to conceptualise the factors that shape these officers’ work identity. Themes identified include the role of the corrections environment as a social institution, corrections operating as separate communities, and how being different contributes to the distinct attributes of female correctional officers. Emotional labour, vigilance and their uniform also proved significant tools these female officers applied as a means to cope and assert their rightful place in this harsh, strained environment.
Ubugebengu obuphakeme kakhulu emhlabeni sebuholele ekutheni sikhule isibalo seziboshwa emajele, okwenza ukuthi silokhu sidlondlobale njalo isibalo seziboshwa nakuba amajele esegcwele ngokweqile. Izinguquko esimweni sesibalo seziboshwa esikhulayo sezibeke ingcindezi engeziwe phezu kwamahlombe ojele nakuba sebevele bethwele kanzima. Lokhu sekudale isidingo esiphuthumayo sokuthi kwenziwe izinguquko ezinohlonze okuhloswe ngazo ukuphucula nokuthuthukisa isimo, ngokuthi kusheshiwe ukuqashwa kojele besifazane. Lolu cwaningo lwenziwe ngaphansi kwalesi simo-ke ngenhloso yokuhlola nokucubungula impilo ephilwa ngojele besifazane uma besemsebenzini nezigameko zansukuzonke abahlangabezana nazo ukuze kubhekwe ukuthi basibumba futhi basibonakalise kanjani isimo-bunjalo sabo njengabantu ukuze bathathe indawo yabo ngeqholo kulo mkhakha okukhonya kuwona kakhulu abantu besilisa. Ulwazi locwaningo lwaqoqwa ngokusebenzisa izingxoxo zokubonana ubuso nobuso ezingama-semi-structured interviews ezabanjwa nojele besifazane abayi-17 e-Kgoši Mampuru II Management Area ePitoli, eNingizimu Afrika. Izindlela zocwaningo ezasetshenziswa kwaba yindlela yocwaningo olukhwalithethivu kanye nohlaziyo olubizwa nge-interpretive phenomenological analysis. Ithiyori yokuzihlonza komuntu isimo sakhe emphakathini nokuthi ungubani iveza umbono wokuthi umuntu wakha izimo-bunjalo ezihlukahlukene okuyizimo-bunjalo zakhe uqobo ngaphakathi kanye nezimo-bunjalo afuna ukuziveza ngazo futhi azibonakalise ngazo emphakathini ukuze akwazi ukwenza izinto kahle futhi ngendlela efanele endaweni ethile azithola ekuyona. Izingqikithi eziyinhloko ezahlozwa ngenhloso yokweseka lo mgomo zibandakanya indima yesikhungo okwenzelwa kusona umsebenzi wokuhlunyeleliswa kwezimilo njengesikhungo zomphakathi, isikhungo sokuhlunyeleliswa kwezimilo uma sisebenza njengesikhungo somphakathi oseceleni noma ohlukile, kanye nokuthi ukwehluka kwaso kusifaka kanjani isandla ekuvezeni izimo-binjalo ezicacile futhi ezihlukile zojele besifazane. Ikhono labo lokulawula imizwa yabo ukuze bakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi wabo ngendlela efanele kanye nokucophelela kwabo kwahlonzwa njengamathuluzi asetshenziswa ngojele besifazane ukuze bakwazi ukumelana nesimo esilukhuni, esishubile futhi esimazonzo abasebenza ngaphansi kwaso. Indima edlalwa ngumfaniswano ekubumbeni isimo-bunjalo sabo emsebenzini nayo yabonisa ingqikithi encikile esemqoka eyahlonzwa ngenkathi kwenziwa uhlaziyo.
Toenemende misdaadsyfers lei globaal tot al hoër getalle oortreders in gevangenskap, wat onvermydelik die dinamiek van dié groeiende populasie verander. Die tendens noodsaak die transformasie van korrektiewe dienste, wat gevolglik die indiensneming van vroulike korrektiewe beamptes bespoedig het. ‘n Kwalitatiewe studie is onderneem met 17 vroulike beamptes te Kgoši Mampuru II Korrektiewe Bestuursarea, Pretoria, Suid-Afrika. ‘n Interpretiewe fenomenologiese analisemetode is toegepas, met die beginsels van die Sosiale Identitieitsteorie as grondslag, om die faktore te konseptualiseer wat bydra tot werksidentiteitvorming van vroue in hierdie manlik gedomineerde sektor. Temas geidentifiseer behels die rol van die korrektiewe omgewing as sosiale instelling, korrektiewe dienste wat funksioneer as afsonderlike gemeenskap, en die besondere bydraes wat die vroulike beampte, juis deur haar uniekheid lewer. Emosionele arbeid, voortdurende waaksaamheid, asook die rol van haar uniform, is verder aangedui as betekenisvolle meganismes wat dié beamptes aanwend in ‘n uitdagende omgewing en so hul regmatige plek inneem in hierdie onkonvensionele werksmilieu.

The dissertation is a study of Lee Min-tse’s art works from 1988 to 2010 and concentrated on how the “faces” appeared and the unique meaning about “space” in Lee Min-tse’s art. After discussing the series Hou-hong Village and expand some issues: how Lee Min-tse recurrences and locates himself in Taipei Fine Arts Museum and Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts’s curatorial strategies, the thesis analyzed three series Mr. Lee, the Dandy, Rising Thoughts, and We Are the World. The dissertation has some different opinions from others’ which used biographical writing on Lee Min-tse’s art, around “ordinary”, “literati”, and “martial” stories, and so on. And doubting the conclusions took Lee Min-tse’s painting as patrolling or daydreams. However, these earlier studies couldn’t explain why Mr. Lee, the Dandy shows his rear or the meaning of space in Lee Min-tse’s art. According Emmuel Levinas’ Other Ethics, the thesis will infer the relationship between “the Self” and “the Other” and space issue in works whose motif about “face” from Lee Min-tse’s art works. Seeing Lee Min-tse’s position recurs and established “the Self” by being involved in national museum strategies “from international to local” and “from north to south”, the thesis concludes how “the Other” establishes “the Self” and the “Mr. Lee” doesn’t represent Lee Min-tse himself but signifies a presentation which about how a perceived object appeared to a subject and how the Other encounters subject on Ethics. Furthermore, “Mr. Lee” as an absolute other, encounters the Other in series Big Face and appears in the rifts on faces; and taking the rifts as a passage, subject appearance will reveal by facing the Other’s face. As the result shows, the topological space in Lee Min-tse’s art works should be taken as an ethical responsibility pictorial space, and Lee Min-tse encounters the Other in his works.
