Texto completoResumen
Interpretation in both national and state parks provides more than mere entertainment to the visitor. Interpretation has been proven to be an effective deterrent to littering, vandalism and the deterioration of natural park resources. The focus of this research is to determine whether high quality programs, a large number of programs, and/or a diversity of programs offered by Indiana state parks attract a higher percentage of the total number of visitors entering a park facility to an interpretative event.The subjects need in this research were the state parks of Indiana. Data was obtained from a weekly form (SP-48) used by the Indiana parks. SP-48 forms from 1987 through 1990, Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend, were used: the total number of programs incorporated into this study was 20,595. The parks were divided into categories (all parks, year-round parks, and seasonal parks) and groups (high, medium and low number of facilities) to provide a similar statistical grouping for analysis.The factors studied were paired and regression analysis were performed on each pairing. Correlation coefficients indicated that an increase in the quantity of programs offered was highly correlated (p<001) to an increase in the percent of gate entrants participating in an interpretive event. Presentation diversity was significantly related to either of the above variables.Department of Natural Resources

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this study was to understand the relationships between participation in park interpretive programs and attitudes, norms and behavior about theft of petrified wood at Petrified Forest National Park (PFNP). The Theory of Reasoned Action guided the research. Data collection included observation of theft behavior, on-site interviews and mailback questionnaires.
Findings indicated that more time spent at interpretive centers and programs did not result in visitors; attitudes and norms about individual acts of wood theft being more negative. Also, attitudes and norms about petrified wood theft did not vary by type of interpretive programs judged most helpful in learning the park;s story and in learning the park;s rules and regulations. Tentative evidence suggests that the norm against taking a handful of wood was stronger among individuals who cited visitor centers as their most helpful source than it was for respondents who said the same about other national park interpretive programs. Similarly, the attitude variable that it is all right to take a piece of petrified wood as long as it is a small piece did vary for two categories of interpretive programs (other national park programs and all ranger programs). Ranger programs measured significantly higher than other national park programs. The rate of theft of petrified wood was not inversely related to the amount of interpretive programs participated in and did not vary by type of interpretation judged most helpful. Finally, attitudes and norms about petrified wood theft did not shape theft behavior. However, knowing visitors; attitudes helped to predict who would be a non-thief.Master of Science

Texto completoResumen
By revealing deeper meanings and connecting the visitor to the resource, interpretation strives to accomplish a number of goals. Interpretation can increase knowledge of a program\'s topic, change the visitor's attitude toward something, change future behaviors, and increase appreciation for a place and its resources. While literature exists professing best practices for interpretation, little empirical support is present in the research literature to validate these practices' individual links to desired outcomes. This study empirically identifies attributes of the interpreter that statistically linked to visitor outcomes. We tracked 31 interpreter attributes and 10 intended outcomes of interpreters in 376 live interpretive programs in 24 units of the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) and conducted visitor surveys immediately following the programs. This research addresses the following question: Which interpreter attributes most consistently lead to desired outcomes? Our research shows that the interpreter attributes most consistently associated with positive visitor outcomes were the interpreter's apparent degree of confidence and expression authentic emotion. The results can be used to inform interpretive training throughout the National Park Service.Master of Science

Texto completoResumen
The Workers' Row House is a three-unit row house, circa 1850, that the Greater Corktown Development Corporation acquired for use as a community museum in 2002. This document provides a starting point and a framework for the rehabilitation and programmatic work that will occur. This plan strives to answer the following questions: (1) What is the site about? (2) Who is the interpretation for? (3) How will the museum go about communicating what the site is about while meeting the needs of the audiences? Using Detroit city directories beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, Detroit Sanborn fire insurance maps, and both primary and secondary sources, the past tenants of this house and their historic contexts were compiled to reveal this site's story. Themes and a storyline were developed, and interpretive objectives were extracted. The plan recommends a guided tour through two restored units, and self-guided, interactive exhibits in the third unit. It is understood that any interpretive plan evolves as the research continues.Department of Architecture

Texto completoResumen
This study demonstrated that learning to teach is a complex endeavor involving more than learning content and methods. Learning to teach involves constructing a new identity and renegotiating previous identities and educational beliefs. Exploring teaching identity through critical reflective practice is at the heart of this research thesis. Research into teachers’ professional identities is a relatively new line of inquiry in teacher development. This study was conducted as an interpretive inquiry into how pre-service teachers construct their teaching identities during a course called Developmental Reading at Lakeshore Lutheran University.While conducting the study, the teacher-researcher awakened his own critical conscious voice by critically examining his own autobiographical stories. The data confirm a closely connected relationship among autobiographical stories, narrated experiences, and identity construction. The study suggests that intentional critical reflection by pre-service teachers—using autobiographical histories, Blackboard discussions, reflective journals, and narrative-based interviews, coupled with a practicum experience—can help to facilitate the process of identity construction and enable pre-service teachers to be critically aware of the shortcomings of the dominant pedagogy. The study found that pre-service teachers frequently thought about what happened to themselves as students, named the types of teachers they hoped to become, and talked about the kinds of teachers they were not.The findings suggest that it is important to examine why we become teachers in order to understand what we do as teachers and how we might teach more authentically. The study suggests that teacher education programs need to empower pre-service teachers by allowing time and space for them to deconstruct their personal learning experiences and their pre-service practicum experiences through critical reflective writing and discussion. In this space, pre-service teachers might be led to take issue with the dominant pedagogy of standardized testing, which has created a culture of standardizing teachers, and come to understand that being a teacher is about impacting lives of children beyond the culture of schooling.

Search the library catalog for the location and call number.While the field of historic preservation has successfully preserved numerous significant buildings and sites throughout the United States, the field would benefit from stronger interpretation of these resources. Because many of the preserved buildings and sites function as public destinations, interpretation has the opportunity to provoke new learning experiences. In this project I examined the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill as a case study for interpretive methods of industrial historic architecture. Through reviewing current interpretive methods, describing a broad historical context, conducting interviews with Salem residents who took part in the work at the mill between the 1930s and the 1960s, and researching specific mill workers' housing in Salem, I found that the inclusion of human stories can benefit the interpretation of the architecture. By offering a specific human narrative against the background of a wider history, an exhibit can challenge the visitor to see the building in a new way.

Chapman, Kelly J. "Outcomes of a participatory approach to interpretive planning in the Shark Bay World Heritage area, Western Australia". Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2004. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/813.
Texto completoResumen
This thesis examines a participatory approach to interpretive planning, employed in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, Western Australia. At the project outset relations between the conservation agency responsible for administering World Heritage and the local community were strained, and complicated by a history of conflict over the World Heritage listing and subsequent management of the area. A participatory approach to interpretive planning was adopted in the hope that doing so would achieve the following: improved relations between polarised stakeholder groups, increased community support for the plan and its implementation, and improved access to the variety of knowledge pools within the Shark Bay community. Effectively ongoing and integrating the interests of the area's polarised stakeholders meant that their social, political, organisational and disciplinary divisions had to be overcome. To do this, a novel participatory interpretive planning method was developed using action research. This method employed a combination of techniques, including a modified Delphi Technique based on indepth interviews, key informants, and direct prolonged emersion of the researcher in the community. The practical results of the project were the production of a stakeholder-derived communications strategy and interpretive plan for the World Heritage Area. These products embodied the collective social, cultural, economic and environmental interests of Shark Bay stakeholders, and included agreed-upon objectives, messages, stories for representing Shark Bar to the outside world. The participatory planning process also resulted in a number of instrumental and transformative outcomes including: surfacing of latent community issues, quieting of dominant rhetoric, identification of common values among stakeholders, collection of knowledge from multiple sources and contexts, equalisation of power between community segments, empowerment of marginalised community members, creation of social capital, and generation of support and commitment to plan implementation. In addition, the study demonstrated that participatory processes are vulnerable to cooption and manipulation by powerful stakeholders, and that the success of such processes relies more on the creation of trusting relationships (i.e. social capital) between stakeholders and facilitators than on the application of formulaic group techniques used to garner public input. With respect to interpretive planning, this project showed how a participatory approach to interpretive planning can be used as an ethical means to develop multiple narratives for interpretation that are just and legitimate representations of the community’s interests and stories. Other implications of this project, particularly in relation to the creation of social capital and horizontal and vertical relationships between community and agency groups, indicate that participatory interpretive planning can be used as an intervention in situations where conservation initiatives have resulted in conflict with local communities. Positive change is achieved through the creation of a common platform of values, mutual understanding and knowledge, from which further dialogue and reciprocal cooperation can take place. The evidence presented suggest that the stakeholder-centred approach to interpretive planning used in Shark Bay may form a useful basis for collaborative environmental management in a range of contexts and landscapes where new conservation initiatives are being contemplated. Lessons learned through application of this novel approach to interpretive planning may prove useful to interpretive professionals, environmental managers, governments and businesses attempting cross-disciplinary integration of multiple stakeholder interests.

Texto completoResumen
The effectiveness of a guide training program was evaluated as a means of providing interpretive services to commercial boaters at the New River Gorge National River. Commercial river guides attended a National Park Service sponsored training program which provided accurate information and education concerning natural and cultural history of the New River, the national significance of the New River Gorge National River, the history and purpose of the National Park Service, and information and services available at the visitor centers. The emphasis of the training session was to increase the river guides’ knowledge base and to encourage their interpretive presentation of this information to their customers.
Customers of a commercial outfitter were administered a questionnaire before and after the guide training program. Significant differences in the amount of interpretation guides presented on the river, the amount of knowledge customers acquired during the trip, and the customers' overall trip rating were noted by empirical testing. Increases in the means of all three outcome variables occurred following guide training. Customers’ intentions to visit a New River Gorge Visitor Center did not significantly change following guide training. The validity and reliability of the instrument is discussed as well as potential biases and constraints of the study. Implications for management and further research are also discussed.M.S.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis investigates a proposition that students learning from computer assisted learning (CAL) programs will be constrained to surface processing of information unless generative learning strategies are incorporated into the CAL program design. The specific generative learning recommended in the proposition include summarising, outlining, analysis of key ideas, and cognitive mapping. Studies of student learning in tertiary education reveal that surface learning is not conducive to academic success, and that deep learning is more effective. As very few CAL programs use generative learning strategies, the suggestion that students will be prevented from deep learning by CAL design is important if CAL programs are to be used in tertiary education.
Two cohorts of students for whom the use of a CAL program was a part of their course unit requirements were studied to evaluate the depth of their consequent learning. No experimental controls were applied, so that the students' use of the CAL program could be observed within their normal learning environment. Neither program incorporated generative learning strategies into the program design. All research instruments used were external to the CAL programs to provide an independent perspective on the learning outcome. The Structure of Observed Leaming Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy was applied to open-ended questions on the topics of the CAL programs to assess depth of learning. Performance as assessesd by SOLO scores was compared with the students' habitual approach to learning as indicated by the Study Process Questionnaire (SPQ) to assess the effect of the CAL program on the students' normal approaches to learning. Comparison between SPQ and SOLO scores indicated that many students did not perform in accordance with their habitual approach as indicated by the SPQ. To clarify the influence of the CAL program on performance, questions were developed to evaluate the students' use of the programs. These were administered by interview or by a questionnaire. These data were subjected to a thematic content analysis.
The findings revealed that many of the students who had confidence in the CAL program performed at a deep level despite the lack of generative learning strategies in the program, and that the implementation of the programs is a major influence on student performance. Students who saw the program as an information source rather than as an interactive learning opportunity did not perform at a deep level, and students who could not see the reason for using the program performed poorly. Recommendations for CAL design include the need for designers to provide guidance for students to encourage a strategic approach to using the CAL program, and a cognitive approach to the implementation of CAL programs.

Texto completoResumen
The purpose of this interpretive biography was to understand how college graduates perceive their experiences in secondary (high school) accelerated learning programs and the impact of that participation on their continued education. This inquiry was guided by the overarching question: What are college graduates’ perceptions and understandings of their experiences in secondary accelerated programs? Using a postmodern philosophy to review the empirical materials, this interpretive biography focused on the lived experience of a college graduate who participated in an accelerated secondary program and focuses on her reflections after graduating from a four-year university. The study finds that generally, secondary accelerated learning programs like concurrent enrollment are considered valuable for their academic preparation, but may be reinforcing societal notions that students should go through their schooling more quickly than is beneficial.

Texto completoResumen
With visitation to natural areas increasing, the appropriate management of these areas is important. There are a number of management tools available which endeavour to minimise environmental impacts of visitors. One such management tool is interpretation. Interpretation is widely used as a management tool because: it is perceived to be the most cost effective method; it is a light-handed approach and allows visitors the freedom of choice; and it enhances visitor experiences and satisfaction. However, the ability of interpretation to bring about a reduction in the impacts of visitors to natural areas, has rarely been quantified. This study was designed to determine the extent to which an interpretive program reduced the environmental impacts of visitors to national parks. Fieldwork was undertaken in Lamington National Park, where 41 guided walks were examined. To measure the actual behaviour or resulting impacts of visitors in a national park, three appropriate environmental indicators were chosen: shortcutting of corners, picking up litter already on the track, and noise levels. Five interpretive programs were created, each with a different combination of environmental interpretation, role modelling and verbal appeals. For the shortcutting results, the interpretive program with the combination of environmental interpretation, role modelling by the guide and verbal appeals from the guide, was always the most effective in reducing shortcutting. Visitors in this interpretive program were always, statistically, less likely to shortcut than visitors on all the other interpretive programs. The programs with only environmental interpretation or no environmental interpretation, were always least effective in reducing shortcutting. The interpretive programs with environment interpretation plus role modelling, or verbal appeals, were always in the middle of these extremes. They were more effective than having neither role modelling or verbal appeals, but less effective than having both. Results for the amount of litter picked up found that the inclusion of verbal appeals in an interpretive program was the only factor that influenced whether visitors picked up litter. In addition, there was no difference in the amount of litter picked up, by the interpretive program with environmental interpretation only, and the program with no environmental interpretation. Results for the noise levels of visitors, found that no interpretive program reduced the amount of shouting and talking loudly of visitors. Although not statistically significant, it did appear that there were lower proportions of shouting and talking loudly, following a verbal appeal and/or role modelling. Additionally, there was no influence of the interpretive program on the proportion of time visitors were talking, or quiet, during their walk. Overall, this research found that interpretation can be an effective management tool in reducing visitor impacts. Interpretation is most effective in reducing impacts when those impacts are specifically addressed through verbal appeals, combined with positive role modelling of appropriate behaviours. However, interpretation did not reduce all the impacts studied and therefore is not the solution to all problems. Implications of this study are that those using interpretation as a means of reducing visitor impacts, must ensure that they have a high standard of interpretation, which specifically addresses the impacts that need to be reduced. It also highlights the importance of the role of the guide, and that those employed should be well trained and competent in their position.

Texto completoResumen
This study looks firstly at the historical background to conservation, particularly in the South African National Parks Board, and relates this to developments in interpretation in the National Parks. These are evaluated against international norms as they appear in the current literature. The aim is to establish a platform upon which future developments in interpretation may be built, avoiding the mistakes of the past, while capitalising on the strong points. Current views of what interpretation is, and what it should be, are reviewed. Knowing who the audience is, in terms of cultural background, education, needs and interests, as well as sound planning, clear objectives and ongoing evaluation of interpretive programmes, emerge as essential prerequisites for effective interpretation. Through reviewing the development and current status of interpretation in the National Parks, the study finds that although the view has been expressed by management, both past and present, that interpretation in the national parks is of great importance, the past and current status of interpretation does not reflect that view. Generally, interpretation appears to be regarded as a non-essential service. This report argues that environmental interpretation should be given a higher status in the National Parks Board and that it should form an important part of the conservation strategy and management plan for the national parks. The researcher contends that a greater investment in interpretation could lead to a decrease in the need for further, increased investment in law enforcement in the parks. The researcher is also of the opinion that interpretation aimed at all levels of personnel of the National Parks Board is at least as important as interpretation aimed at visitors.

Texto completoResumen
Il presente elaborato costituisce uno studio del lavoro degli interpreti durante le interviste con ospiti stranieri nel late-show russo Večernij Urgant, volto a mettere in luce aspetti caratteristici delle singole puntate, aspetti relativi alla trasmissione nel suo complesso e fenomeni che dipendono dal medium (la televisione) e dal macrogenere (intrattenimento), genere (talk show) e sottogenere (late-night show) delle interviste esaminate.
In primo luogo, è stato creato un corpus formato da 10 interviste tratte dalla trasmissione con ospiti anglofoni e italiani. I criteri di trascrizione e analisi si rifanno all’analisi conversazionale, particolarmente efficace per l’analisi di testi, come quelli dei talk show, dialogici o polilogici e vicini alla conversazione ordinaria. L’analisi del corpus è stata utilizzata per studiare il ruolo e l’identità dell’interprete e le analogie o differenze con le caratteristiche tipiche (secondo studi precedenti) del discorso e dell’interpretazione in televisione e nel talk show.
Tre interpreti che hanno lavorato per Večernij Urgant sono stati inoltre intervistati sulle condizioni lavorative (preparazione, orari di lavoro, dotazione tecnica) e sulla loro percezione del lavoro (principali difficoltà, livello di stress).
La tesi è divisa in 5 capitoli: nel primo vengono illustrate le principali peculiarità del discorso mediatico e dell’interpretazione televisiva; il secondo capitolo, analogamente, è dedicato ai tratti tipici del discorso e dell’interpretazione nel genere del talk show. Il terzo capitolo include un excursus sulla storia e sulla contemporaneità della televisione russa di intrattenimento e una presentazione di Večernij Urgant. Nel quarto capitolo vengono presentati il corpus, il metodo seguito per le trascrizioni e l’analisi, e i risultati dell’analisi. Il quinto capitolo, infine, verte sulle interviste agli interpreti, che vengono commentate e comparate, seguite da un breve confronto con la realtà televisiva italiana.

Texto completoResumen
Fourteen historic sites in the Eastern United States were evaluated for ways archaeological evidence was used in the development of living history, public education, and other interpretive programs. A wide range of sites, such as outdoor living history museum villages, active urban public archaeology programs, sites associated with well-known archaeologists, and sites where the author had personal experience, were studied.Techniques used to interpret archaeological resources to the public were identified to ascertain which were found to be the most effective in spreading the word about preservation and conservation. Technological advances have expanded interpretive possibilities and allowed innovations not thought possible ten years ago. These advances will continue, and archaeologists will need to stay abreast of innovative techniques in public interpretation in spite of excitement or trepidation. This study may serve as guidelines for museums wishing to establish innovative, but low-budget, interpretive programs.Department of Anthropology

Referring expressions with vague and ambiguous modifiers, such as "a quick visit" and "the big meeting," are difficult for computers to interpret because their meanings are defined in part by context. For the hearer to arrive at the speaker's intended meaning, he must consider the alternative decisions that the speaker was faced with in context. To address these challenges, I propose a new approach to both generating and interpreting referring expressions based on belief-state planning and plan recognition. Planning in belief space offers a way to capture referential uncertainty and the incremental nature of generating and interpretation, because each belief state represents a complete interpretation. The contributions of my thesis are as follows: (1) A computational model of reference generation and interpretation that is fast, incremental, and non-deterministic. This model includes a lexical semantics for a fragment of English noun phrases, which specifies the encoded meanings of determiners (quantifiers and articles), gradable and ambiguous modifiers. It performs in real time, even when the hypothesis space grows very large. Because it's incremental, it avoids considering possibilities that will later turn out to be irrelevant. (2) The integration of generation and interpretation into a single process. Interpretation is guided by comparison to alternatives produced by the generation module. When faced with an underspecified description, the system uses what it could have said and compares that to what the user did say. Reasoning about alternative decisions facilitates inferences of this sort: "She ate some of the tuna" means not all of it, otherwise you would have said, "She ate the tuna." This approach has been implemented and evaluated using a computational model, AIGRE. I also created a testbed for comparing human judgments of referring expressions to those produced by our algorithm (or others). In an online user experiment with Mechanical Turk, we attained 94% coverage of human responses in a simple geometrical domain, as well as lower, but still encouraging, coverage in a more complex, real-world domain. The model, AIGRE, demonstrates that managing the vagueness and ambiguity in natural language, while still not easy, is nevertheless possible. The day where we will routinely talk to our computers in unconstrained natural language is not far off.

Texto completoResumen
This study was a program evaluation of an American Sign Language internship program that was established in 2006 at a 4-year private college in the Midwestern United States but had never been evaluated. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of this internship program in preparing students for employment in the field of interpreting. An expertise-oriented program evaluation case study was conducted using the lens of experiential learning theory. Research questions were used to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of the program and the ways in which the policies, objectives, and assignments prepare students to work as interns and later as professional interpreters. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 2 former administrators who helped establish the program, 13 graduates of the program between 2013 and 2015, and 8 of the internship site directors who worked with interns between 2013 and 2015. The interview data were coded and analyzed following Merriam's approach to identify themes, and document review was used to support the themes. Key findings were that the program provided effective training for interns transitioning to professional employment, but students tended to lack self-confidence in their performances Interviewees also indicated that program documents were helpful but difficult to use, and mentors needed guidance in giving constructive feedback. An evaluation report was constructed as a research project deliverable to provide specific recommendations for program enhancement. The study promotes positive social change by providing stakeholders with the evidence-based data needed to implement further growth for the internship program, and to more effectively train interpreters to work with the Deaf community.

This study, patterned on Benton’s (2009) model of the four conceptions of interpretation which includes connecting visitors to resources through use of interpretive techniques, conveying mission and influencing behaviour, encouraging environmental literacy, and promoting recreational outcomes (modified from Benton’s use of tourism outcomes), took a comprehensive approach to examine the recreational and environmental outcomes of participation in interpretive programs at Gatineau Park (N = 78). The findings included significant correlations between the interpretive techniques and environmental literacy (n = 73, r = .711, p = .000), pro-environmental behavioural intentions (n = 70, r = .267, p = .025), and recreation satisfaction (n = 67, r = .419, p = .000) outcomes. There was also a significant correlation between recreation satisfaction and environmental literacy (n = 66, r = .518, p = .000). Path analysis indicated the direction of these relationships with environmental literacy directly influencing recreation satisfaction and interpretive techniques indirectly influencing recreation satisfaction through environmental literacy, revealing that environmental literacy mediated the relationship between the interpretive techniques used and recreation satisfaction.

This research explores how externalization of physiological states helps to provide an awareness of hidden stressors through a home-based study, a lab-based study, and a school-based study in order to facilitate social understanding of people who are nonspeaking, especially those diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). For people who experienced with hyper- or hypo-sensory responses (e.g., many people diagnosed with ASD), over-aroused situations or " meltdowns" are often accompanied by incorrect attributions of potential stressors in their everyday lives. A series of physiology-based technologies are implemented as a toolkit (e.g., providing in-situ visual and tactile feedback, or enabling interactive and analytical indexing of collected data) for assisting the interpretations of individuals' arousal states. First, the home-based study is a participant-driven study following Kanner's perspective of documenting "fascinating peculiarities" in autism. I arrive in a family as an ethnographer documenting a dynamic process of hypothesizing and interpreting situations in order to seek a dialogue with a young man with ASD who is able to name objects, but does not use language in typical ways. Second, the lab-based study is a single-case design experiment with direct replications focusing on class teachers' interpretations of arousal states in students diagnosed with ASD. The goal of this study is to assess how real-time displays of student physiological activity (i.e. heart rate) affect teacher estimation of arousal and relaxation. The results suggest that arousal estimation varies as a function of how physiological information is displayed. Third, the school- based study presents a collaboration with an occupational therapist (OT) and three teenage participants with ASD. This study documents the iterated investigations of the OT's interpretations with and without the presence of students' physiological data (i.e. skin conductance data). This study demonstrates how participants' arousal information assists the OT in making judgments from a clinical perspective. This dissertation presents an experimental method and toolkit to help calibrate typical assumptions about people diagnosed with ASD. With the intervention of physiology-based technologies, this research shows a novel approach of debugging reciprocal understanding of people in both naturalistic and experimental environments.

The aim of this thesis is to implement a qualitative analysis on interpretive trails, which are also considered part of local heritage interpretation. This analysis verifies if the authors of panels used recommendations published in two known methodologies during their preparation phase. This research is applied on eighteen interpretive trails in the protected landscape area of Český kras. In the practical part of this thesis, each interpretive trail has been evaluated by applying nine criteria. The outcome of the thesis is an evaluation of visuals and content composed on the interpretive trail panels for the purpose of attractive communication. The most significant deficiencies of the panels of interpretive trails in the protected landscape area of Český kras are quality of graphical design, whether the text communicates with the reader and if the text does not require linear reading. On the other hand, the most important strengths of interpretive trail panels are that the visual elements are always well connected to the content of the text on the panel and the text is easily read without specialised terms. The interpretive trail that has reached the best evaluation in the qualitative analysis is Vodácká NS Berounka. On the other hand, the trails with the lowest scores were NS Památné stromy Karlštejnska and NS Klonk-Suchomasty.

Texto completoResumen
This research portfolio sought to examine and extend current evidence around the potential for home-based Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM) training to retrain interpretive biases and improve emotional pathology. To this aim, 12 published studies exploring this potential in depression and anxiety were systematically reviewed. Overall, evidence for clearer training effects appeared to follow studies for which CBM targeted depressive interpretive biases, which typically adopted a different delivery modality for the training. Studies exploring CBM utility in anxiety-based presentations were less homogenous in their clinical focus. A common confound in this research appeared to be lack of between-group differences due to unanticipated improvements in control groups. An empirical study is then presented, which explored the efficacy of a home-based CBM package targeting worry in an older adult sample reporting generalised anxiety symptomology. Six individuals participated in this nonconcurrent multiple baseline study involving a seven-day CBM training phase and follow-up. The study identified a moderate response to CBM, in which half the sample showed evidence of training improvements in daily well-being measures. Overall changes in diagnostic scores of generalised anxiety symptomology indicated statistically reliable but not clinically meaningful progress. Performance data provided key insight into potential moderating factors affecting CBM efficacy, such as anxiety-related interference of engagement with the training. Despite the study’s originality in terms of both the sample’s age cohort and clinical presentation, the results largely coincide with the 12 reviewed studies. The portfolio concludes with recommendations for future research, with advice to extend the age range of study samples to include appropriate lifespan representation.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand the meaning of formerly homeless Veteran’s male relationships to better understand their participation in intervention programs relying on interpersonal support. Interpretive phenomenological analysis was used to interpret five semi-structured interviews with previously homeless Veterans between the ages of 45-65 with serious mental illness. These men were participating in a peer-support based housing program. Analysis yielded the following five major themes and fourteen subordinate themes: Internalized Role Conflict i) internal conflict, Masculinity as a Barrieri) restricted emotions between men, ii) pride, iii) dominance, and iv) fear of other men, Building Supportive Relationships between Men i) negotiating masculinity, and ii) balancing power in men’s relationships, Experience Accepting Support i) de-shaming, ii) emotional relief, and iii) insight. Experience Giving Support i) strengthen self by supporting other man, and ii) use personal experience to support other men. Implications for providers and programs are discussed, as well as areas for future research.

Texto completoResumen
Although there is evidence of a positive relationship between acceptance of pain and healthy adaptation to chronic pain, such research appears to be devoid of a guiding theoretical framework. The review paper aims to investigate how 'acceptance' fits with models of adaptation to chronic pain. Fourteen-studies were reviewed and categorised into four-sections in accordance with the models of adaptation they cited. Exploration of the underlying components of the models illuminated five-key unifying concepts or 'elements' that appear to be important for adaptation: goal-setting, attention to pain, coping strategies, identity and psychological flexibility. A unifying model is proposed and the findings of the review suggest that acceptance-basedin terventions such as Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Contextual Cognitive Behavioural Therapy would be beneficial in enabling healthy adaptation to chronic pain. Despite the growing evidence-base with regards to the effectiveness of acceptance-based interventionsf or chronic pain, previous research has focused on quantitative outcome measures. The processes that occur during such interventions, however, remain unknown. The research paper therefore qualitatively explores six-individual's experiences of an acccptance-based pain-management programme and the constituents they felt facilitated change. Findings highlighted the importance of pain-relevant social support, psychoeducation, self-identity, positive acceptance of pain and proactive coping strategies such as pacing activity and mindfulness. The discussion paper explores links between research findings and models of adaptation, the proposed model within the literature review, the contribution to clinical practice, and implications for future research. By unifying these components, a unique in-depth insight into people's experiences of the processes of chronic pain management has been gleened. Especially into the experiential accounts of people using acceptance-based painmanagement approaches, and highlights a need for further qualitative of pain-management interventions.

Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is a tale untold by quantitative data. The main role-players in this tale are two mathematics teachers at an urban high school situated in a low socio-economic area and involved in a professional development programme in the Western Cape, viz. the SPARK project. It is a case study of how their levels of collegiality and collaboration positively influenced their levels of efficacy, whilst being part of an in-service professional development programme. This interpretive qualitative case study is explored using two data sets: one being the classroom observation reports generated via participant observation during the first three years of the project; and the other is a focus group interview done three years later. The data sets were analysed to produce a rich, thick descriptive and interpretive account of the supportive environment of these two teachers and how it played a significant role in their professional growth and levels of efficacy. The findings of this study are then used to highlight the importance of establishing collaborative cultures within in-service professional development programmes and the positive influence it can have on the efficacy levels of teachers.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie vertel ‘n verhaal waaraan kwantitatiewe data alleen nie reg kan laat geskied nie. Die hoofrolspelers in die verhaal is twee wiskunde onderwysers by ’n stedelike hoërskool wat geleë is in ’n lae sosio-ekonomiese gebied en wat betrokke is by ’n professionele ontwikkelingsprogramme in die Wes-Kaap, die sogenaamde SPARK projek. Dit is ’n gevallestudie wat aantoon hoe hulle vlakke van kollegialiteit en samewerking, terwyl hulle deel was van hierdie professionele indiens-ontwikkelingsprojek, hulle vlakke van doeltreffendheid positief beïnvloed het. Hierdie interpretatiewe kwalitatiewe gevallestudie is ontleed aan die hand van twee datastelle: aan die een kant die klaskamer waarnemingsverslae gebaseer op klasobservasies van die deelnemers gedurende die eerste drie jaar van die projek en aan die ander kant ‘n fokusgroep onderhoud wat drie jaar later gedoen is. Die analise van hierdie datastelle het ’n ryklik gelaaide beskrywende en interpretatiewe weergawe daargestel van die ondersteunende omgewing van hierdie twee onderwysers en hoe dit ’n beduidende rol gespeel het in hulle professionele groei, onder meer hulle vlakke van werkseffektiwiteit. Die bevindings van hierdie studie word dan gebruik om die belangrikheid van die vestiging van kollaboratiewe kulture in professionele indiensopleidingsprogrammeme te beklemtoon. Die studie onderskryf ook die positiewe invloed wat ’n kultuur van samewerking kan hê op die doeltreffendheidsvlakke van onderwysers.

Three emerging adults who had been involved in YouthMADE since adolescence participated in semi‐structured interviews about their program experience. Results support existing research on benefits of youth engagement and participation in youth media programs, but also highlight complexities and challenges involved in the experience. Participant accounts describe the YouthMADE experience as transformative, in terms of self‐exploration, learning, and in development of activism and a sense of community within the program. Findings highlight importance of supporting and empowering participants within such programs and necessity for further research on the lived experiences of youth media programs from alternate perspectives.Education, Faculty of

Nástroj Atomer je statický analyzátor založený na myšlence, že pokud jsou některé sekvence funkcí vícevláknového programu prováděny v některých bězích pod zámky, je pravděpodobně zamýšleno, že mají být vždy provedeny atomicky. Analyzátor Atomer se tudíž snaží takové sekvence hledat a poté zjišťovat, pro které z nich může být v některých jiných bězích programu porušena atomicita. Autor této diplomové práce ve své bakalářské práci navrhl a implementoval první verzi nástroje Atomer jako zásuvný modul aplikačního rámce Facebook Infer. V této diplomové práci je navržena nová a výrazně vylepšená verze analyzátoru Atomer. Cílem vylepšení je zvýšení jak škálovatelnosti, tak přesnosti. Kromě toho byla přidána podpora pro několik původně nepodporovaných programovacích vlastností (včetně např. možnosti analyzovat programy napsané v jazycích C++ a Java nebo podpory pro reentrantní zámky nebo stráže zámků, tzv. "lock guards"). Prostřednictvím řady experimentů (včetně experimentů s reálnými programy a reálnými chybami) se ukázalo, že nová verze nástroje Atomer je skutečně mnohem obecnější, přesnější a lépe škáluje.

Texto completoResumen
Family violence (FV) is a significant social issue across Australia, where one woman is murdered by her current or former partner every week (State Government of Victoria, 2020). In an effort to increase the safety of women and children living in the state of Victoria, perpetrators of FV are routinely referred to a group intervention known as a Men’s Behaviour Change Program (MBCP). This research study sought to lay a foundation for understanding how women experience their partners’ referral to an MBCP, while exploring the meaning they ascribe to such an experience. At a fundamental level, the study aimed to elevate the voices of women and to contextualise their experiences. It was anticipated that this study would illuminate the profound insights of women regarding their experiences of such referrals, which have not been previously considered or acknowledged as being important. Nine women living in the regional city of Ballarat, Victoria, took part in this community-based research project, which was designed in collaboration with industry partners. Each woman engaged in a qualitative interview that was underpinned by the emergent methodology of feminist interpretative phenomenological analysis. Consequently, these interviews focused on the women’s thoughts, feelings and interpretations of the referral experience. Through analysis and discussion of the women’s narratives, referral to an MBCP was shown to have involved experiences of significant meaning, depth and consequence for victim survivors – clearly demonstrating an effect beyond perpetrator engagement with an MBCP. The findings from this study have revealed the way in which MBCP referrals fashion a new environment for victim survivors. It is an environment characterised by heightened hopes of change, experiences of being blamed and judged by external parties and includes a rising sense of indignation. This form of referral has also been exposed to be a period of pivotal assessment for victim survivors, and at a fundamental level, as an event in and of itself. The new understandings achieved through this study provide a foundation on which FV services, researchers and policymakers can now build. This study has also reinforced the notion that in order to be effective, FV services must be informed by the knowledge and experiences of the people who are most affected by those services.Doctor of Philosophy

Texto completoResumen
This thesis informs the design of restorative justice processes for survivors of sexual abuse, through an understanding of their lived experience of the aftermath of abuse, and their reflections regarding a restorative justice process in their cases. It evidences the conceptual capabilities of restorative justice, and presents the research definition developed for this study. The research endeavours to understand what type of restorative justice processes survivors seek, with whom, and their expectations of a process. A feminist approach to this research has been enhanced through the application of an interpretative phenomenological analysis, which privileges the voices of a small sample of survivors. The interpretation of their stories draws on the researcher’s professional and academic knowledge and experience, to reach transferable theoretical insights which inform the theory and practice of restorative justice in cases of sexual abuse. This analysis identified the complex, triangulated relationships between the survivor, their abuser, and those who facilitated their abuse, and a desire for a restorative justice process with these facilitators .The participants’ need for the act of abuse and the impact of the abuse to be recognised by others was only partially achieved through the criminal justice system, and required additional paths to justice, at a time appropriate to the participants’ recovery .Finally, the ability of the participant to gain control over their narrative of abuse, is the journey envisaged when considering a restorative justice process in their cases. This thesis presents an optional, staged programme of restorative justice; the provision of general narratives of sexual abuse to develop personal narratives, and restorative justice processes with their facilitators of abuse, prior to a restorative justice process with their abuser. Measuring the level of control felt by a survivor over their narrative of abuse is proposed as a method of evaluation of the programme.

Texto completoResumen
ABSTRACT
This thesis is concerned with the question of how America’s citizen soldiers are remembered and how their services can be interpreted through monuments and memorials. The paper discusses the concept of memory and the functions of memorialization. It explores whether and how monuments and memorials portray the difficulties, hardships, horror, costs, and consequences of armed combat. The political motivations behind the design, formation and establishment of the edifices are also probed. The paper considers the Vietnam War monuments and memorials erected by Americans and Vietnam expatriates in New Orleans, Louisiana, and examines their illustrative and educational usefulness. Results reflect that although political benefits accrued from the realization of the memorial structures in question, far more important, palliative and meaningful motives brought about their construction. They also demonstrate that, when understood, monuments and memorials can be historically useful.
