Abstract:
The aim of this article is to study the diversity of the forms taken by compounds in which the loan couch appears in French and Polish, taking into account the diversity of their equivalents and the comments made about them. Two loans are particularly well represented: couch surfing and couch potato and two others, couch gag and couch promotion, both less frequent and less widespread. A large number of other cases are found in the corpus which also include couch, many of which are hapaxes. Analysis of the results in both languages but more particularly in French reveals that the more frequent the loanword is, the greater the variety of both native equivalents proposed and comments on both the loan and the appropriate translation.

Abstract:
On the basis of empirical studies and available sources, the author presents tourism as undertaken by young Poles from Generation Y, with reference to demographic, and above all generational changes. She focuses on presenting tourism preferences and typical behaviour. The analysis shows that their behaviour is similar to those observed by Generation Y globally. The similarities are also visible in tourism - new, post-modernist trends, such as gap year and internet couch surfing portals, as forms of independent travel organization, are becoming more and more popular. On the other hand, the consumptionist habits of Generation Y (preferences for comfort and entertainment), as well as an orientation towards family and friends, frequently travelling companions, can also be observed.

Abstract:
On any given night, thousands of Canadian youth face homelessness in either absolute (living on the street) or relative (couch surfing, staying in emergency shelters) terms. This study explores influences primary health care access among youth experiencing homelessness in a large Canadian urban centre. Using a qualitative research design and convenience sampling, 8 youth participated in in-depth individual interviews and 4 clinicians with expertise in working with youth in primary care settings participated in a facilitated solutions-focused dialogue based on findings from the youth interviews. Data collection occurred from January to November 2016. Main findings included: (1) Youth experiencing homelessness feel powerless when interacting with health care providers, (2) Health care systems exist as rule-based bureaucracies and (3) Homeless youth are in survival mode when it comes to their health. The authors offer recommendations to promote more equitable access to primary health care services for homeless youth.

Abstract:
Purpose To determine the percentage of Canadian youth meeting screen-time guidelines and to identify characteristics associated with different screen-time behaviours. Methods Using nationally representative data collected from the 2008/2009 Youth Smoking Survey (YSS), we analyzed three screen-time behaviours, cigarette smoking, weekly spending money, self esteem, region and grade by sex, and conducted four logistic regression models to examine factors associated with more than 2 hours a day of sedentary screen time. Results Of 51 922 Canadian youth in grades 6 to 12, 50.9% spent more than 2 hours per day in screen-based behaviours. The average daily screen time was 7.8 (± 2.3) hours. Males and current smokers were more likely to report over 2 hours per day watching TV and videos or playing video games, whereas students in higher grades and those with weekly spending money were more likely to report playing or surfing on a computer. Youth with higher self-esteem were less likely to report spending over 2 hours per day in each of the three screen-time behaviours examined. Conclusion Developing a better understanding of the factors associated with more hours of screen time is required to develop and target interventions that reduce screen-time behaviours.

Abstract:
A rich body of literature attests to the importance of affordable accommodation and support services necessary, appropriate, and acceptable to persons disabled by a mental illness. However, there is a little which provides a means for housing and service planners to determine the gap between available supportive housing and need. Such understandings are needed to prepare strategies and develop the resources needed to accommodate persons with a disabling mental illness in the community. While housing studies that examine shelter needs of the homeless acknowledge that a sizable proportion has a disabling mental illness, these numbers underestimate need in the cohort that experiences disabling mental illnesses. This underestimate exists because many of those who are disabled by mental illness and in need of supportive housing are among the hidden homeless: doubled-up, couch-surfing, and temporarily sheltered by friends and family. Thus, little is known about the size of this cohort or their supportive shelter needs. The present analysis examines two approaches and offers one methodology as most feasible and parsimonious which can approximate housing need and may be extrapolated to other urban locations.

Couch-surfing (Couch Surfing, CS) is a type of mutual tourism emerged during recent years. The correlation between backpackers and couch-surfing is very interesting and worthwhile for us to take a closer look. This study was researched using literature analysis, expert interviews, and online questionnaires. Based on willingness to participate in couch- surfing, the questionnaire is classified into three categories: "Category A – Couch-surfers", "Category B – Willing to couch-surf, but has no prior experience "Category C – Unwilling to couch-surf" to explore backpackers’s motivation, satisfaction, resistance and future intentions towards couch-surfing. Use descriptive statistics, single factor analysis of variance, independent samples T-test, cross-analysis, chi-square distribution, and Pearson correlation statistical analysis. Results are as follows: 1. Significant differences in backpackers’ background for the three categories. 2. Motivation levels are significantly different for the three categories. 3. Category A and category B are significantly different in future intentions. 4. Category B and category C is significant different in resistance. 5. Significant relationship between travel motivation, satisfaction and future intentions. 6. No siginificant relationship between travel motivation, resistance, and future intentions. Results of this study can provide research references for tourism-related agencies, backpackers, tourism research units and experts.

Abstract:
This thesis critically informs current research concerned with youth homelessness in Australia. Drawing upon interview accounts and discussions with young people and youth workers, I examine couch surfing as a prevalent practice in young people‘s experiences of dislocation. I conceptualise this practice as both a means and outcome of relying on temporary living arrangements with local households. These living arrangements are distinctive in that young people source them from their own social connections, in the face of having nowhere else to go. Through a grounded, interpretive engagement with the interview accounts, and a social constructionist epistemology, I examine the relational processes that shape and produce couch surfing. In doing so, I map out how couch surfers are drawn into a series of highly tenuous relationships with the households they turn to; relationships that I argue render living arrangements vulnerable to collapse. Focusing on the production of these tenuous relations, I argue in this thesis that couch surfing practices are both an immediately accessible tactic for young people attempting to (re)negotiate home; and a set of embodied, practical actions for navigating dislocation. By approaching couch surfing in this way, I importantly indicate how young people‘s experiences of homelessness are continuous with a broader context of social exclusion, patterning the life chances of Australian youth. Through this perspective, I am interested in how young people who couch surf navigate and contend with a marginalised social space; and, how their experiences shape identities, belonging, and ontological security. In mapping these dimensions of couch surfing, I contend that many young people in Australia are negotiating dislocation differently. Their experiences invite a crucial re-thinking of how we presently frame youth homelessness in research, in policy, and in practice. In particular, I propose that couch surfing unsettles the mainstream focus on problems of rooflessness and the purely structural aspects of disadvantage. In arguing this, I indicate the important role of ideological and political processes in young people‘s struggles for social citizenship. Ultimately, my aim here is to highlight the alternative readings of homelessness that young people‘s perspectives have offered in this research. The findings of this thesis will add to a critical imagining of the sorts of spaces and communities that young people can more properly ‘call home’.

Abstract:
Branson, the largest in the cluster of small towns in the southwestern section of Missouri has become the fastest growing, particularly in terms of greatest tax revenue, in the state as well as the Number One Coach Destination for American vacationers and the Number Two Vacation Destination in America, just behind Disney World in Orlando and just ahead of the Mall of America in Minneapolis. 4500 miles from Lisbon, nestled in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, the once sleepy little town of Branson, with an actual population 3706, is now the “country music capital of the universe,” as so stated in 1991 by Morley Safer on the Number One news show “60 Minutes.” This presentation will examine Branson, Missouri as an emblematic “City of Choice” in which the future public realm in America is designed by and constructed with an architecture of entertaining leisurely delights and an urban space confined to the interior of the automobile which seem to embody and epitomize our post-industrial desires as we search for “souvenirs of experience.” If, the apparent “success” of Disney World, Mall of America and Las Vegas portend of a society that regards shopping as a cultural engagement, leisure as a means of self-definition and history as a passive theme-park experience, then one can propose that Americans love to shop, surf and sightsee. It will be the assumption of this paper that Americans love to shop, to shop in the traditional sense; to surf as it applies and extends shopping, thereby making it the most pervasive paradigm for the exercise of choice; and to sightsee as it is a spectator activity similar to TV watching and auto-driving in America.
