The purpose of this study was to uncover the unique and devastating consequences of untreated head injuries in a population that self-monitors their return to play after an injury. The secondary purpose was to identify the general perceptions of head injuries in the action sports culture and the themes that are common challenges for action sport athletes during their TBI rehabilitation in order to examine the coping skills that were used during their attempt to return to their sport. Seven athletes were interviewed. The sports represented were snowboarding, BMX racing, BMX freestyle, and motocross. The interviews assessed the following concepts: injury experience, symptoms, recovery, perception of the sport, return to sport, personality factors, and perception of head injuries. The interviews were transcribed and coded by the researcher in order to identify common themes and perceptions. The results indicated that the high frequency of injuries in action sports contributes partially to the perception of head injuries. It is a part of the culture to ignore injuries and push through pain. While the athletes have found success with this method in the past, it takes personal experience to convince them that head injuries should not be treated in the same manner. Since many of the athletes were unaware of their exact medical diagnosis, the severity of their injuries were established by how much their symptoms affected their day-to-day life. Physical symptoms were the most commonly reported, but psychological symptoms had a greater affect on the participants' day-to-day life. Generally, the participants who returned to play had higher levels of self-efficacy and self-awareness than the athletes who were not able to return. However, it is unclear from the study if the athletes had high self-efficacy because they were able to return, or if they were able to return because of their pre-injury characteristics. There was also a general consensus among the participants that more support and awareness about brain injuries were needed in their sport.

The United States has resettled unaccompanied minors before. In the 1960s and 1970s, minors from Indochina were resettled in the United States. In the 1970s, the U.S accepted 14,000 unaccompanied minors from Cuba through Operation Peter Pan. Many of these Cuban minors, aged five to eighteen, were sent to the United States by parents fearing their children would be indoctrinated in communist schools. In the case of these minors, they arrived in the United States with the consent of their still-living family members. In contrast, about 3,500 Sudanese Lost Boys were resettled in the United States in 2000, and more recently in 2010, 53 “lost children” from Haiti were brought to the United States following a devastating earthquake. This study investigated the integration and assimilation patterns of the Sudanese Lost Boys in the Kansas City area with the purpose of understanding the sociological impact on these Boys from their own perspective. As opposed to previous studies done on these Boys in Kansas and other areas in the United States, the present study used interview-based research and analyzed data using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. The study concluded that the Lost Boys were both “Lost” and “Found” in complex ways. The study found that unaccompanied refugees labeled as minors at the time of resettlement integrated more “successfully” than those resettled as adults. Minor Boys received certain advantages over Boys who were labeled legal adults. Over time, those resettled as minors accumulated more social capital relevant in American society, while those resettled as legal adults fell behind. The findings highlighted problems associated with age-based treatment of refugees, especially in the case of the Boys who were arbitrarily classified as adults. Assigned ages significantly impacted their assimilation process into American society. Unlike those Boys resettled as minors, legal adults did not have access to structure and immersion opportunities afforded by foster families, formal education, and social activities. This study concluded that age-based disadvantage was evident in the case of the Lost Boys.

This essay discusses how female and male characters are represented in the novel Peter & Wendy by J.M Barrie from 1911 and the Disney version Peter Pan from 1953. Jane Sunderland’s models on social gender are used as a substructure to help clarify how the characters are portrayed as individuals, in relation to other characters and through their own actions and speech acts. The essay shows that there is a major difference in how male characters are portrayed compared to the female characters and that every character of the story lives up to what seems to be socially constructed gender roles.

This thesis investigates why the Lost Boys, a group of young South Sudanese refugees who have long expressed a desire to return home, are not returning in numbers. It finds that variables generally cited in the existing literature (family ties, securing, occupational opportunities and patriotism) have similar values for those who have resettled permanently in the US, those who have returned to South Sudan, and those who have expressed interest in returning but not done so. Personal factors such as age, marital status, income and education levels are found to contribute to overall risk averseness, which is highest among the resettled and lowest among the returned.

Reading plays an important role in establishing lifelong learning and providing the reader with an avenue to new experiences and a language with which to express their ideas and feelings (Owen 2003; Hamston & Love 2005). In particular adolescents need a language that allows them to 'play with their identities in a safe and controlled manner to explore who they want to be in this ever changing world' (Koss & Teale 2009, 569). Block (1995) advances that there is a distinct correlation between what we read and how we live in the world, and argues 'if what we read influences our identity in the world, the ways we are able to imagine and live in the world, then there is some responsibility to address these various texts, their readers and possible reading experiences' (Koss & Teale 2009, 569). Within my research I attempt to take on this responsibility by establishing a connection between reluctant adolescent male readers, and their reading experiences and by using their opinions to create a novella that seeks to more fully engage them.
Centred within the larger debate about boys and books are two central discussions: why don't boys read and what should boys read? While a number of reasons why adolescent boys don't read are mentioned in this paper and it might not be possible to fully account for why many are reluctant readers, it is possible to argue that specific forms of literature addressing certain themes and topics relevant to the age group might appeal to reluctant readers.
The conceptual framework for this research was structured using a mixed-method approach consisting of four phases. In positioning my research for determining literature that reluctant readers may want to read I draw on a variety of material which tends to support the longevity of S.E Hinton's (1967) argument that 'teenagers today, want to read about teenagers today' (cited in Smith & Wilhelm 2002, 6). My practice-based research was conducted within a high school in Brisbane, Australia. Six participants were selected and required to read three recently published Australian Young Adult novels, and opinion was collected via semi-structured interviews on these case studies. Grounded Theory (Charmaz 2003; Charmaz 2006; Glaser & Strauss 2011) informed the design of the questions, and the process of concurrent interviews and analysis of opinion. This analysis led to construction of my theory: adolescent male reluctant readers want to read about female relationships and family conflict within a story that consists of an adventure that, although unlikely to happen, could happen.
From this study there are two main contributions, which have theoretical and practical implications for stakeholders with a vested interest in the discussion regarding boys and books. First, this study, through the research methodology, presents key findings that indicate that reluctant readers are interested in realistic texts addressing themes that will help with the construction of, and understanding of, their own lives. Secondly, the grounded theory derived from these findings is applied to my own praxis and my creative artefact (Duende) is included with this exegesis as a text intended to create a connection between engaging texts and adolescent male reluctant readers.

From the release of their first single “Surfin’” in 1961 to the release of the album Pet Sounds in 1966, rock history traces the arc of the American rock group the Beach Boys in broad terms of the early-sixties Southern California surf music trend and the revolutionary effects of the Beatles’ stateside arrival in 1964. Typical claims for progress, autonomy, the significance of the album, and myths of authenticity in the study of the emergence of the rock concept, however, tend to promote an essentialist understanding of what rock music is about and what it is for. This study proposes an alternative narrative in which the regulating dichotomies of rock—art versus commerce, seriousness versus schlock, the authentic versus the inauthentic— are historicized, in the case of the Beach Boys’ transition from surf band to a complex studio recording project, as matters of creative practice and conflicting sensibilities. Questioning the conventional wisdom of rock history, this project suggests a counter-story about the significance of creative achievement, failure, and advancement

Utilizing heuristic and hermeneutic methodologies, this thesis leans into the primary feelings of anger, guilt, and shame typically expressed by American males. It examines how these feelings came to the forefront of his expressions and how he can allow himself to find ways to safely express the other feelings repressed inside him. Just as the blind man when given a matzo turned it over and over, examining it with his fingers and exclaiming “who wrote this?”, this thesis suggests new interpretations regarding how males express themselves. Through awareness of the value of rituals and metaphors, this natural language of men can serve as a beginning toward his feeling safe in expressing his repressed feelings.

El presente trabajo se propone discutir acerca de los límites entre el Análisis del Dasein de Medard Boss y la Analítica del Dasein de Martin Heidegger. Tomando como punto de partida la aparición de la dimensión orgánica en las consideraciones de Boss, se discutirá cómo es que se devela una oposición en los énfasis temáticos correspondientes a una consideración filosófica y a una psicológica del ser humano. Dicha oposición será aclarada indagando en las respectivas motivaciones de ambos programas, para destacarlas como sus eminentes límites. Finalmente, comprendiendo dichas motivaciones como límites, el artículo planteará que la insistencia de lo orgánico vigente aún en Boss señalaría problemáticas que pueden competer aun a la Analítica del Dasein del mismo Heidegger.

Pełny tekst źródłaStreszczenie:
Le traitement thermique est une méthode appropriée pour la valorisation d'essences européennes peu durables. Les modifications chimiques en résultant confèrent au bois une meilleure stabilité dimensionnelle et durabilité aux attaques fongiques, alors que les propriétés mécaniques diminuent plus ou moins. Le verrou actuel de ce procédé reste la grande difficulté à produire à l'échelle industrielle un produit de qualité constante (durabilité, stabilité dimensionnelle, couleur). Ces difficultés sont dues à l'hétérogénéité du matériau et des conditions de traitement réalisé généralement par convexion. La mise au point d'un pilote de traitement thermique par conduction permettant une mesure en dynamique de la perte de masse a été réalisée pour optimiser la conduite du traitement, mieux comprendre les réactions de thermodégradation et développer un outil de contrôle de la qualité du bois traité. Les résultats obtenus, réalisés dans des conditions de traitement proches des conditions industrielles, indiquent un effet important de l'essence de bois traitée sur les cinétiques de perte de masse observées, les feuillus étant généralement plus sensibles à la thermodégradation que les résineux. Il a ensuite été établi une forte corrélation entre le niveau de thermodégradation du bois estimé à partir de sa perte de masse et l'augmentation de sa durabilité aux champignons basidiomycètes. L'analyse fine et la compréhension des mécanismes réactionnels intervenant durant le traitement ont permis de mettre en évidence un lien direct entre la composition élémentaire du bois et la perte de masse due aux réactions de thermodégradation, permettant également de prédire la durabilité aux attaques fongiques. Le taux de carbone, d'oxygène ou encore le rapport O/C peuvent de ce fait être considérés comme des marqueurs pertinents permettant de contrôler la qualité du bois traité thermiquementThermal treatment has been used to improve properties of non durable European species. Chemical modification of some of the wood components provides improved dimensional stability and biological performance against decay fungi while mechanical properties such as modulus of rupture are reduced. Quality control of commercially made thermally treated wood is one of the major road blocks of its industrial development. The variability inherent within a wood species and between wood species, density and chemical compositions variation combined with the heat treatment parameters such as temperature duration and levels contribute to the production of heterogeneous heat treated wood. The development of a heat treatment process by conduction which monitors the weight changes during the process will facilitate and help in controlling, in understanding and predicting the properties of heat treated wood. Data collected from a pilot study of heat treated wood using conditions similar to commercial process show that hardwood species were more susceptible to thermal degradation as compared to softwood. It was also established that wood chemical composition is directly connected to the percent of weight loss due to thermodegradation, allowing the use of chemical composition to predict fungi durability. Carbon and oxygen contents and/or oxygen to carbon ratio of heat treated wood can be therefore used as valuable markers to develop quality control assessment of heat treated wood

Siguiendo a Anthony Giddens (1995), el carácter dinámico de la modernidad tardía tiene una de sus raíces en la reflexividad generalizada, la cual, juntamente con la profundización de la crisis de instituciones tradicionales, ha traído la necesidad de una construcción continua y activa de nuestras identidades. A partir de esto, las representaciones de feminidad y masculinidad tradicional se han visto socavadas, por lo que, frente a la búsqueda de nuevos referentes con miras a continuar con dicha construcción, espacios distintos al hogar o escuela han empezado a tomar relevancia. En este contexto, el consumo se ha erigido como uno de los nuevos espacios de socialización, cuestión que motivó que se dejara de lado la carga puramente económica que investigaciones pasadas le habían otorgado. Este cambio de enfoque permitió la aproximación a dicho fenómeno desde los estudios culturales, tomando especial atención el consumo de medios de comunicación masiva, debido a su gran alcance –incluso sobrepasando lo local- y diversidad de contenidos. A partir de entonces, la pregunta “¿qué hace la gente con lo que ve?”, y más adelante “¿cómo afectan los medios en la construcción de las identidades de género? han sido interrogantes ampliamente abordadas desde diferentes perspectivas, aunque, muchas veces, sin obtener el éxito esperado. En el Perú, según información del INEI (2015), los jóvenes limeños constituyen los principales usuarios de los distintos medios de comunicación, por lo cual, sus experiencias resultan relevantes para conocer cómo estos son integrados a su vida diaria, y los aportes que ofrecen a la construcción de sus identidades de género. Sin embargo, para esta investigación, serán las jóvenes el foco principal, considerando que “[…] en el Perú urbano actual coexisten diferentes definiciones de feminidad, una trasmitida a través de la familia y las instituciones tradicionales, que centran la identidad femenina en la esfera doméstica y otras que critican este modelo y proponen que la mujer debe buscar su autonomía individual […]” (Fuller 1998: 16). Sabiendo ello, el presente trabajo buscará aportar al debate existente en torno a la relación entre medios y feminidad, a través del caso del consumo de Boys Love1, un objeto producido por mujeres, y un espacio de consumo habitado predominantemente por las mismas, indagando por el lugar que dicho consumo toma dentro del proceso de construcción de la feminidad de sus usuarias. Asimismo, todo esto otorgará pistas acerca de cómo podrían los medios producidos por mujeres propiciar una (re)construcción de la feminidad fuera de la dominación masculina, y/o los límites que se estarían presentando para elloTesis

La presente investigación busca analizar y diagnosticar las limitaciones y oportunidades
del Club Sport Boys Association sobre la base de la teoría de la gestión del cambio para el proceso
de licenciamiento de los clubes peruanos de fútbol profesional. Dicho proceso tiene la intención
de homologar las capacidades de gestión de todos los clubes a nivel nacional en situación, la gran
mayoría, de informalidad.
Por ello, se propone el uso de modelos de gestión del cambio como instrumentos para la
obtención de drivers o variables críticas para que el cambio se gestione óptimamente. Por ello,
luego de una atenta revisión de dicha teoría y del análisis de la praxis de la misma, a través de
entrevistas con expertos, se construyen las variables del estudio: Comunicación del cambio,
Liderazgo para el cambio, Resistencia al cambio, Control de gestión para el cambio y Recursos
para el cambio. Cada una con sus respectivas sub variables. Se comprende que el fútbol es un
negocio altamente rentable en otros países de Sudamérica como Brasil y otros continentes como
el europeo debido al entorno atractivo que se fomenta para la inversión privada en este negocio,
muy diferente a la situación local de poco profesionalismo y de un bajo valor económico.
Se logra demostrar en los hallazgos la complejidad del trabajo de campo que significó la
validación de las variables con los expertos, lo cual produjo la separación de algunas sub variables
que no era recomendable aplicarlas a una organización de las características del sujeto de estudio
de la presente investigación. Así mismo, se describe a cada uno de los actores en función a tres
conceptos relevantes para demostrar su importancia como actor clave. Además, se detalla los
hallazgos del análisis de actores en función al mapeo de actores claves en el sistema y su
intensidad de relaciones, adicionando la matriz de influencia-interés para entender la relevancia
de cada actor en una posición en dicha matriz demostrando su relevancia para considerar su
contribución al proceso de cambio para el club.
Posteriormente, se analiza los hallazgos de cada actor en función a las entrevistas a
profundidad diferenciados en unidades de análisis (directivos, empleados y aportantes). De esta
manera se obtienen hallazgos generalizados de la situación completa del club. Esto último para
entender el peso de cada hallazgo en cada variable descrita. Por último, se generan conclusiones
en función a la comparación de lo sostenido por la teoría y los hallazgos para derivar en
recomendaciones a considerar por el sujeto de estudio.Tesis

Muestras de músculo esquelético y sangre fueron tomadas a 48 toros bravos (novillos) lidiados en la plaza de toros de Calasparra (Murcia). Los músculos seleccionados, cabeza larga del tríceps braquial y semitendinoso, fueron analizados desde el punto de vista histológico, con el fin de estudiar las características morfológicas e histoquímicas de los distintos tipos de miocitos y las posibles alteraciones consecuencia de la lidia. Las técnicas histoquímicas han posibilitado reconocer tres tipos de fibras musculares, denominadas I (SO), IIA (FOG) y IIX (FG). El músculo tríceps braquial presentó un porcentaje mayor de fibras oxidativas (SO + FOG) en comparación con el músculo semitendinoso donde predominaron las fibras glicolíticas (FG). El estudio histológico del músculo esquelético reveló además que tras la lidia algunas fibras musculares sufrieron lesiones agudas de tipo degenerativo. Estas lesiones se presentaron de forma aislada, afectando a las fibras de tipo II, sin que se viera comprometida la integridad funcional de los fascículos musculares. En un porcentaje reducido de animales se observaron lesiones crónicas relacionadas con la presencia de fibras anguladas atróficas y quistes de Sarcocystis spp. Las muestras de sangre fueron procesadas con objeto de valorar diversas enzimas indicativas del posible daño renal, hepático y muscular consecuencia de la lidia. Los valores de enzimas estudiados en sangre demuestran que en la mayoría de los novillos la lidia no produjo daño renal, ni hepático, ni muscular. Tan solo 5 ejemplares presentaron niveles algo más elevados de lo normal en las enzimas LDH y CK que no se correspondieron con un mayor grado de lesión muscular. Este trabajo demuestra que el músculo esquelético de los novillos estudiados se encontraba bien preparado para afrontar el esfuerzo que supone la lidia.The samples were taken from blood and skeletal muscle in 48 fighting bulls at bullring in Calasparra (Murcia). Selected muscles, long head of the triceps brachial and semitendinosus were analyzed histologically, in order to study morphological and histochemical characteristics of different types of myocytes and their possible alterations as consequence of the fighting. Three types of muscle fibers, called I (SO), IIA (FOG) and IIX (FG) were identified from histochemical techniques. The triceps brachii muscle presented a higher percentage of oxidative fibers (SO + FOG) when comparing with semitendinosus where glycolytic fibers (FG) were highest. Histological examination of skeletal muscle also revealed that after fighting some muscle fibers suffered acute degenerative injuries. These injuries were scarce, such that these only affected to the type II fibers, without affecting the functional integrity of the muscle bundles. A small percentage of animals showed chronic injuries corresponding with atrophic angulated fibers and cysts of Sarcocystis spp. Blood samples were processed in order to assess several enzymes indicative of kidney damage, liver damage and muscle damage as result of the fight. The enzymes values in blood showed that the fight did not cause damages in kidney, liver, and muscle in the most of the bulls. Only 5 bulls showed levels of LDH and CK enzymes higher than the normal levels without observing positive correlation with the degree of muscle injury. This work shows that the skeletal muscle of the bulls was well prepared to face the effort involved in the fight.

This thesis examined body dissatisfaction and body change behaviors among adolescent girls and boys from a biopsychosocial framework. The contribution of biological, psychological and sociocultural factors were examined in relation to body dissatisfaction, weight loss, weight gain and increased muscle tone behaviors among early adolescent girls and boys. In particular, pubertal maturation, body mass index (BMI), perception of body shape and size and psychological factors, such as depression, anxiety, ineffectiveness, self-esteem and perfectionism, were examined as possible factors that may precipitate or maintain body dissatisfaction and engagement in body change strategies. The sociocultural factors evaluated were the quality of family and peer relationships, as well as the influence of family and peers in predicting the adoption of specific body change strategies. The specific mechanisms by which these influences were transmitted were also examined. These included perceived discussion, encouragement and modelling of various body change strategies, as well as perceived teasing about body shape and size.
A number of separate cross-sectional and longitudinal studies were conducted to examine the above relationships and identify the factors that contribute to weight loss, weight gain and increased muscle tone behaviors in adolescents. Study 1 examined the psychometric properties and principal components structure of the Bulimia Test Revised (BULIT-R; Thelen, Farmer, Wonderlich, & Smith, 1991) to assess its applicability to adolescent samples. Study 2 investigated the nature of body dissatisfaction and weight loss
behaviors among 603 adolescents (306 girls and 297 boys) using a standardised questionnaire. This preliminary study was conducted to ascertain whether variables previously found to be relevant to adolescent girls, could also be related to the development of body dissatisfaction and weight loss behaviors among adolescent boys.
Studies 3 and 4 described the development and validation of a body modification scale that measured weight loss, weight gain and increased muscle tone behaviors. Studies 5 and 6 were designed to modify an Excessive Exercise Scale developed by Long, Smith, Midgley, and Cassidy (1993) into a shorter form, and validate this scale with an adolescent sample. Study 7 investigated the factors that contribute to weight loss, weight gain and increased muscle among adolescent girls and boys both cross-sectionally and longitudinally (over one year). Structural equation modelling was used to examine associations among self-reported body dissatisfaction, body change strategies and a range of biological, psychological and sociocultural variables both cross-sectionally and longitudinally.
Overall, the results suggested that both girls and boys experience body dissatisfaction and engage in a number of different body change strategies in order to achieve an ideal size. A number of gender similarities and differences were identified in the expression of body dissatisfaction and the adoption of body change strategies for both girls and boys. Girls were more likely than boys to report body dissatisfaction and engage in weight loss behaviors, while boys were more likely than girls to engage in weight gain and increased muscle tone behaviors. Generally, the same factors were found to contribute to weight
loss, and more specifically, bulimic symptomatology, ad weight gain in both adolescent girls and boys. While a combination of biological, psychological and sociocultural factors contributed to bulimic symptomatology, only biological and psychological factors were found to contribute to weight gain in adolescents. The most notable gender differences were found in the model of increased muscle tone. Sociocultural and biological factors contributed to increased muscle tone behaviors in girls, while sociocultural and psychological factors were implicated in these behaviors in adolescent boys. With the exception of the model of increased muscle tone for boys, body dissatisfaction was a consistent factor in the adoption of body change behaviors. Consistent with previous investigations, the present thesis provides empirical support for the need to examine the etiology and maintenance of such concerns and behaviors from a multifaceted perspective.

This study explores the depictions of technology and scientists in the literature of five writers during the 1960s. Scientists and technology associated with nuclear, computer, and space science are examined, focusing on their respective treatments by the following writers: John Barth, Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke. Despite the close connections between the abovementioned sciences, space science is largely spared from negative critiques during the sixties. Through an analysis of Barth's Giles Goat-boy, Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, Pynchon's The Crying of Lot 49, Asimov's short stories "Key Item," "The Last Question," "The Machine That Won the War," "My Son, the Physicist," and Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey, it is argued that altruistic goals of space science during the 1960s protect it from the satirical treatments that surround the other sciences.

abstract: In 2001, a refugee group of unaccompanied minors known as the Lost Boys of Sudan began arriving in the United States. Their early years were met with extensive media coverage and scores of well-meaning volunteers in scattered resettlement locations across the country. Their story was told in television news reports, documentary films, and published memoirs. Updates regularly appeared in newsprint media. Scholars have criticized public depictions of refugees as frequently de-politicized, devoid of historical context, and often depicting voiceless masses of humanity rather than individuals with skills and histories (Malkki 1996, Harrell-Bond and Voutira 2007). These representations matter because they are both shaped by and shape what is possible in public discourse and everyday relations. This dissertation research creates an intersection where public representation and everyday practices meet. Through participant observation as a volunteer at a refugee community center in Phoenix, Arizona, this research explores the emotions, social roles and relations that underpin community formation, and investigates the narratives, representations, and performances that local Lost Boys and their publics engage in. I take the assertion that "refugee issues are one privileged site for the study of humanitarian interventions through which 'the international community' constitutes itself " (Malkki 1996: 378) and consider formation of local 'communities of feeling' (Riches and Dawson 1996) in order to offer a critique of humanitarianism as mobilized and enacted around the Lost Boys.Dissertation/Thesis

A child who has experienced the death of a parent may be traumatized by the loss. The nature of the child's reaction depends on a combination of several factors, including the circumstances surrounding the death, the nature of the child's relationship to the deceased parent and the existence of remaining, supportive, family members. The creative arts therapies have been successfully employed as a means of therapeutic intervention with bereaved children. One medium in the field of the creative arts therapies is the use of photography, or phototherapy. This research paper explores the use of photography, in conjunction with other forms of creative arts therapies with a parentally bereaved child. A combination of clinical examples and the writer's personal experiences and observations are employed to develop the notion that the camera (and photographs in general) can be used as a research tool, a therapeutic medium and as a metaphoric parallel in relation to working therapeutically with traumatically bereaved children.
