L'éclatement du film océanique est un phénomène où un film liquide mince, représentant le chapeau de la bulle, éclate à la surface de l'océan, produisant des gouttelettes de film. Ce phénomène est crucial dans les échanges océan-atmosphère, en particulier dans le transfert de chaleur, de masse et de quantité de mouvement entre l'océan et l'atmosphère. L'éclatement du film implique une série de dynamiques complexes, telles que le drainage, la perforation, la rétraction du film et la désintégration en gouttelettes. La cicatrisation des trous (c’est-à-dire lorsqu’un trou est trop petit et se referme après sa nucléation) est un paramètre essentiel pouvant influencer la dynamique de l'éclatement du film, en particulier l'épaisseur du film lors de l'éclatement et, par conséquent, le budget liquide pour la production de gouttelettes de film. Cette étude approfondit la dynamique des trous dans les films liquides libres, avec des simulations numériques et des approches analytiques. Utilisant Basilisk, un solveur de flux à deux phases basé sur la méthode Volume-of-Fluid (VoF) et écrit en C, nous avons analysé finement le mécanisme de cicatrisation. Des simulations dichotomiques à maillage adaptatif haute résolution ont permis de déterminer le seuil de cicatrisation. Les approches analytiques ont été utilisées pour développer des hypothèses afin de prédire le seuil de cicatrisation d'un trou sur un film, qui ont été testées contre les résultats numériques. La dynamique critique du trou a été examinée, et des lois de puissance distinctes ont été identifiées pour la courbure de pointe afin d'illustrer le mécanisme moteur. Les variations du seuil de cicatrisation du trou avec d'autres paramètres du problème ont été examinées. Cette étude a d'abord été menée pour un film plat, découvrant que le seuil de cicatrisation est augmenté en augmentant le nombre de Laplace du film. Cet effet était prononcé pour des valeurs allant de 1 à 10000, coïncidant avec la gamme habituelle des nombres de Laplace de film observés pour les bulles éclatantes océaniques. Les effets observés ont également été élaborés, avec des explications physiques. Étant donné que la forme initiale exacte du trou s'est révélée influencer le seuil de cicatrisation, un examen a été effectué pour étudier cet effet sur la cohérence des résultats du changement du nombre de Laplace du film, pris comme exemple pour les autres. Il a été démontré que malgré les variations du seuil pour différentes formes, l'effet du changement du nombre de Laplace du film était indépendant de la forme du trou. Par conséquent, les résultats de la dichotomie se sont avérés indépendants du choix arbitraire de la forme du trou tout au long de l'étude. Une étude similaire a été menée pour un trou dans un chapeau de bulle après une étude détaillée de la dynamique de la bulle et de l'écoulement du gaz. Il a été découvert que l'écoulement de gaz subit un effet Venturi, où un écoulement plus fort, résultant de tailles de bulles plus petites ou de nombres de Laplace de gaz plus élevés, a été montré pour augmenter le seuil de cicatrisation. Une hypothèse a été développée pour prédire l'effet Venturi sur le seuil de cicatrisation, aboutissant à un terme de correction de Venturi qui prédit une dépendance de loi de puissance sur le diamètre de la bulle, ce qui correspondait aux résultats numériques. L'effet Venturi était significatif pour des valeurs élevées du nombre de Laplace du gaz, où le seuil de cicatrisation était doublé en augmentant la courbure moyenne du film d'un film plat à un chapeau de bulle avec une taille 20 fois l'épaisseur du chapeau de bulle. Ces résultats fournissent une compréhension complète du phénomène de cicatrisation des trous, en particulier dans l'éclatement du film océanique. Le présent travail offre également une base pour les futures études sur le phénomène d'éclatement du film impliquant des dynamiques complexes, y compris la cicatrisation des trous
Oceanic film bursting is a phenomenon in which a thin liquid film representing the cap of the bubble bursts at the surface of the ocean, producing film drops. The film bursting phenomenon is critical in ocean-atmosphere exchanges, particularly in transferring heat, mass, and momentum between the ocean and the atmosphere. The film bursting phenomenon comprises a series of complex dynamics, such as drainage, puncture, film retraction, and film disintegration into film drops. The hole healing (i.e., when a hole is too small and is closed after its nucleation) is a critical parameter that could impact the film bursting dynamics, particularly the film thickness at bursting and, thus, the liquid budget for the film drop production. The present work investigates the dynamics of holes in free liquid films, presenting a comprehensive understanding of the hole-healing phenomenon while focusing on the film bursting in the oceanic context. This was achieved through a combination of numerical simulations and analytical approaches. The numerical simulations were carried out using Basilisk. This robust and efficient two-phase flow solver is based on a Volume-of-Fluid (VoF) method and written using the C-programming language. The underlying mechanism for the hole-healing phenomenon was studied in detail. The dichotomy simulations for the determination of the healing threshold carried out in this work have used high-resolution mesh refinement. This was possible by using an adaptive mesh scheme provided by Basilisk. The analytical approaches were used to develop hypotheses to predict the healing threshold of a hole on a film, which were tested against numerical results. The critical dynamics of the hole are examined, and distinct power laws were identified for the tip curvature to illustrate the driving mechanism. The variations in the hole healing threshold with other problem parameters were examined. This study was first carried out for a flat film, discovering that the healing threshold is increased by increasing the film Laplace number. This effect was pronounced for values ranging from 1 to 10000, coinciding with the customary range of film Laplace numbers observed for oceanic bursting bubbles. The observed effects were also elaborated upon, along with physical explanations. Since the exact initial shape of the hole was shown to influence the healing threshold, an examination was carried out to study this effect on the consistency of the results from changing the film Laplace number, taken as an example for the other. It was shown that despite variations in the threshold for different shapes, the effect of changing the film Laplace number was independent of the hole shape. Therefore, the dichotomy results were shown to be independent of the arbitrary choice of the hole shape throughout the study. A similar study was carried out for a hole in a bubble cap after a detailed study of the bubble and gas outflow dynamics. It was discovered that the gas outflow undergoes a Venturi effect, where a stronger outflow, resulting from smaller bubble sizes or higher gas Laplace numbers, was shown to increase the healing threshold. A hypothesis was developed to predict the Venturi effect on the healing threshold, resulting in a Venturi correction term that predicted a power law dependency on the bubble diameter, which agreed with the numerical results. The Venturi effect was significant for high values of the gas Laplace number, where the healing threshold was doubled by increasing the film mean curvature from a flat film to a bubble cap with a size 20 times the bubble cap thickness. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the hole-healing phenomenon, particularly in oceanic film bursting. The present work also offers a foundation for future studies on the film-bursting phenomenon involving complex dynamics, including hole healing

Introduction A full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) is a round deformity in the fovea that involve alllayers of the neurosensory retina. The condition is usually symptomatic and is associatedwith a decreased visual acuity (VA). Large FTMHs are associated to a larger decrease in VA.To treat FTMH pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) is performed to repair the hole. There aredifferent dimensions of instruments in PPV but limited information on the outcome usingeach dimension. Aim This study aims to assess the healing rate of large FTMHs after 25-gauge vitrectomy. Methods The study is a retrospective record review. Patients were identified through the surgicalintervention registry at the Department of Ophthalmology, USÖ. The study included largeFTMHs (diameter > 400 μm) who underwent 25-gauge PPV at USÖ between 2015-2017. Results After 25-gauge PPV 19 (82.6%) out of 23 included eyes healed. No significant difference inhealing rate between subgroups of different sized FTMHs was discovered. Out of 4 eyes thatfailed to heal, 1 patient underwent a reoperation and the other 3 either chose not to or it wasdeemed not indicated. A statistically significant increase in mean VA postoperatively wasobserved. The most reported complications postoperatively were gas cataract and atemporary increase in intraocular pressure. In 7 cases the PPV led to an accelerateddevelopment of cataract and cataract surgery. Conclusion The majority of FTMHs healed after 25-gauge PPV and the mean VA increased after surgery.The most common complications were secondary cataract and temporary increase in IOP.

How to design with empathy? "The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture." Alvar Aalto For me architecture has the power to enhance human's lives. Our beautiful world needs a fine and delicate touch to modify their nature and abstract their essences without changing its soul. The focus of this thesis is to empathize with nature and use it as an instrument to heal the mind and provide comfort to the body. The empathy of architecture with the users and the environment is a key to provide healing. For that reason, the architecture tends to create more than a building; it also creates it's own spirit. This project is a Cancer Treatment Center located in the Andes of Peru, which purpose is to response to the emotions and needs of the patients and staff. Cancer is a complex disease, which can make the patient feel lost in the world. The interplay with nature will create a healing environment and a spiritual retreat, which creates relief and connection with the universe. The building provides the users places to breath deeply, think and connect with each individual belief. The design looks for a natural organic plan, which takes advantage of the light and the surroundings. The green design works as a placebo for the patients, which are passing through theses difficult stages. Following the new trends and trying to separate of the idea of a mega hospital, the center is small in scale, but it has a program, which provides care and treatment at the same time. The walls are strong and solid to show the support and protect the inhabitants, but they are also flexible to blend with the high mountains in the horizon. It also has a green oasis, which is the heart of the project that runs from the beginning to end and merged with the natural slope land. The culture plays an important role in the planning of the design. Adjusting to the customs and beliefs, the building respects the vernacular architecture, and gets inspiration of traditional materials and construction methods that the Inca's empire used like adobe and stone.

The subject of this inquiry is the lived experience of the body healing from childhood interpersonal trauma. The questions driving this inquiry were designed to elicit the meaning body-based healing has brought to those who have endured childhood trauma and engaged in healing practices offered by the field of psychology, including both talk therapy and somatic psychotherapy and practices. The literature in psychology reveals scarce studies that privilege the lived experiences of persons who are in the process of transforming childhood trauma. Therefore, there is need for this study which foregrounds the mind, body, and spiritual lived experiences of trauma and its healing, in participant’s own words.

This study brings forth the stories of four participants who experienced interpersonal childhood trauma and also sought body-based healing modalities. Through the perspective of psyche, outcomes of this study were revealed from a deep, reflective, metaphorical standpoint. This theoretical foundation set the stage for the use of the qualitative method of narrative inquiry. Phenomenological analysis of interviews created a first-person subjective point of view into the experience of developing a deeper body consciousness.

Meaning derived from this study delineated four pathways of healing presented under the refrains of Seeking Healing, What Wants to Live, Living Within Trauma and Healing, and The Awakened Body. From here, the study provides a broader context to the experience of healing that includes the movement from dissociation to awareness in a context of uncertainty. This perspective provides a different consideration of what is happening in the healing process, important for psychotherapists, as well as trauma scholars and practitioners exploring treatments. Most importantly, the outcomes will be of interest to those who are healing from childhood trauma, sketching a trajectory of how body-based therapies and activities potentially transform many aspects of one’s life. Outcomes could guide further research related to the intersections of childhood trauma and long-term healing and transformation.

In Hong Kong, 'green living' (luksik saangwut) is promoted as a way of living that is kind to the Earth and good to the people. It is a grassroots movement that encourages people to take personal responsibility for the environment and the society at large. While most studies of Asia's environmental movements focus on green groups' lobbying tactics and mobilisation strategies, this thesis pays serious attention to individuals' experience of living a green life. Although Hong Kong's green culture is highly influenced by the global appeal to sustainability and environmental protection, its specificities are shaped by the city's social and political climate in a unique historical conjuncture. By focusing on individual experience and their practices of green living in the everyday, I argue that green living in Hong Kong is best understood as 'technologies of the self' wherein new environmental, social, and political subjectivities are formed among the ordinary people. The perceived reciprocity between the act of healing nature and the healing power of nature is an essential element in the formation of green subjectivity in Hong Kong. Not only does green living help people heal and transform themselves, it has also given rise to an embodied politics (santai likhang) that enables people to reimagine a social and political 'otherwise'. Such embodied politics has come to represent a politics of hope that empowers people to confront with the politics of fear that has been looming over Hong Kong since the former British colony was returned to China in 1997. In light of this background, I argue that what the Hong Kong people want to sustain is not just the natural environment, but also the social norms and the ways of living that are thought to distinguish themselves from their counterparts in mainland China.

This thesis examines different aspects of tradition relating to fresh water in Scotland. They include: the use of water from wells and springs for healing and divination purposes; the beliefs around the lin1inal quality of water, often considered as boundary, and around its magical association with the horse; and finally folktales featuring the water-horse, or kelpie, a supernatural creature which was said to inhabit lochs and rivers. In dealing with topics so different one from the other, within the larger field of Scottish customs and beliefs, it proved necessary to use a variety of sources and methods. Comparative study was often particularly illuminating. After presenting the history of visits to sacred wells, I deal with two main categories of customs associated with these pilgrimages, namely healing rituals and divination practices. While the former leads to the analysis of the different stages and implications of the ritual, the latter looks into the issues that were left to supernatural powers to decide upon, and examines how the questions asked of the oracle evolved with time. Consideration of these powers then leads on to further inquiry into the liminal function of fresh water in general, and its links with boundaries both spatial and temporal. That the horse, another element that is ascribed definite liminal qualities, was associated with water is therefore not fortuitous. If water provides an entry to an Other World, the horse can then take one through into this other land. Indeed, this is what is found in the corpus of tales centred on the figure of the waterhorse. As some of the tale-types are met in other geographical areas - Ireland and Scandinavia mainly - a discussion of these will provide a general background to the tales, which will result in a proposal for a revised tale-index. Two shared types -the work-horse and the abductor of children - will then be examined in the Scottish context. One type, however, - the seducer - seems to be unique to Scotland, and it will be dealt with last. The aim of this work is twofold: first, to provide an ethnological piece of research from a diachronic perspective on a subject outwith the usual themes generally chosen for studies of this nature; second, to present together, in their Scottish context, folktales that have been hitherto broken up and read in the light of their relationships to their foreign counterparts. Although recent academic studies on healing wells exist for Ireland and France, the Scottish material has never previously been treated in such a study. A number of sources available were secondary accounts, dating back mainly to the turn of the twentieth century, and part of my research involved finding the original documents used - sometimes misused - in order to present them in their original context. Similarly, part of the work on the kelpie stories involved gathering together tales kept in the Sound Archive of the School of Scottish Studies at the University of Edinburgh that had never been collected into a single corpus. I hope in this thesis to provide a sound basis for further researches on these types of Scottish customs and beliefs.

Today, a great deal of social services, health and education research funding is being channeled into studies on how to combat the myriad social issues—such as domestic violence, substance abuse, poverty, homelessness, suicide, homicide and incarceration— that have afflicted Aboriginal communities for eight generations. What has since been overlooked is that many of these research projects and the programs they give rise to, well meaning as they are, ultimately prove ineffective as they discount the cultural background of the people they seek to help. Intensive analysis focuses on a community program called Warriors Against Violence Society (WAVS), one of Vancouver’s few Aboriginal health organizations that runs based on Indigenous rather than Western methods of intervention for its Aboriginal members. This Indigenous Collaborative Research (ICR) framework investigates how culturally-based healing practices provide a more comprehensive and thus more effective method to assist members struggling with family violence. An Indigenous Knowledge-based intervention model for dealing with perceptions and experiences of family violence both inter-generational and contemporary emerges from transcribed conversations with 22 people, including co-founders, co-facilitators and members, amounting to approximately 600 pages of single-spaced text. Cultural practices involving storytelling, smudging, potlatches, honouring ceremonies, youth groups, Elder wisdom, natural environment and parent-to-child transference of culture signify aspects of tradition integral to Aboriginal health: all suppressed during the era of Canada’s enforced Residential School System, resulting in the disintegration of communities whose way of life was thrown off balance by colonization. When Western interventions fail to restore this balance it is worth investigating how a return to such Indigenous cultural and health practices can offer us better solutions to restore people suffering from family violence, drug addiction, poverty and homelessness, trouble with the law and traumatic memories. Key to the WAVS intervention model is that it acknowledges multiple aspects of well-being (spiritual, emotional, physical and intellectual) and deals with all the factors within the history of a person, family, and/or community, which have had an impact on current health issues. Ultimately, ten emergent themes are revealed under the three categories of Total Person, Total Health and Total Environment.

Dene women are leading and directing efforts toward "healing" themselves, their families, and their communities. Employing a modality of montage and storytelling, this thesis explores this enigmatic concept of "healing" among Dene, and its gendered dimensions, in the community of Fort Good Hope, Northwest Territories. This account challenges the limitations of a resistance-hegemony paradigm often used to describe Aboriginal actions as embedded within colonial relations, and endeavours toward a more nuanced analysis which explores Dene "healing" beyond the colonial space. "Healing" is emerging as a vehicle for the assertion and celebration of Dene identity, Dene tradition and "Dene ways". This thesis further explores how many Dene women in Fort Good Hope are mobilizing the power of tradition, such as -aet'sechi/ (practices associated with "becoming woman"), as a means of "healing" social/health concerns, and influencing gender and power relations in the community.

This thesis explores my relationship with my mother as a young child through the lens of children’s fiction and film. It is comprised of poems, each of which embodies my understanding of aspects of texts I engaged with throughout my early childhood. The poems are my response to themes, images, and phrases that I integrated into my own world view and belief systems in the context of a turbulent childhood. Themes that emerge include: a mother-daughter relationship, family secrets, trauma, abuse, and the transformative power of children’s book characters and stories. My exploration reveals the key role libraries and children’s fiction and film played in informing my childhood story. Children’s stories pulled me up and out of the ashes and rubble of my familial home and abusive maternal relationship. Children’s stories showered me with hope where none existed. This thesis is my attempt to distill the shadows and suffering of my childhood into something luminous and light (Martel, 2009). Visiting the library as well as reading and viewing children’s stories, helped me prosper emotionally, cognitively, and relationally; stories offered me healing. Through reading children’s books and projecting my thoughts and emotions onto the characters and their individual plights, I gathered insights, encouragement, clarity, and courage that helped me understand my mother in the broader context of my life, and to move beyond survival to thriving as a grown woman--as mother to my own children, as well as professional teacher nurturing the minds and hearts of others’ children. Following the poetic component of the thesis is a discussion of the approach I have undertaken, which might be described as a combination of poetic inquiry, narrative research, memoir, life writing, autobiography and autoethnography. I have elected to position this piece following the thesis, as a reflection, so as to let the poetry stand in the first place on its own, as a valid form of academic discourse.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Contemporary global Christian demography, it has been observed, indicates a significant gravitational shift towards a two-thirds global concentration. Characteristic of that majority is the proliferation of indigenous, independent churches. In the majority of the world, especially in Africa, one significant characteristic of such independent churches is the phenomenon of healing. That phenomenon, particularly in the Zionist churches, constitutes a prominent feature in the indigenous spectrum of the African Christian demography. Therefore, by examining a selection of case studies of the Zionist healing phenomenon at grassroots levels, this research sought to generate a grounded theory of mission praxis. This research focused on the Holy Spirit and spirits in healing within selected Zionists populations in the southern African context. The research engaged the classical Grounded Theory Approach in investigating the healing phenomenon in the Khayelitsha and Masiphumelele Zionist churches in the Western Province, as well as in one Zionist church in Limpopo Province. Cumulative field data harvested from narratives of the Zionists themselves sought to capture an emic understanding of what happens before, around, in, during and after specific healings. Pilot research work facilitated the production of an appropriate ground-based bilingual questionnaire that was instrumental in the interviews and observations of individuals and church activities related to healing. A population of ninety adult Zionists were interviewed. Data collection and data management proceeded iteratively and simultaneously. The research process – from data harvesting to open and selective coding, the abstraction of dataimbedded concepts, theoretical sampling and the creation of the main categories – revolved around the question, ‘What is happening when healing occurs among the Zionists?’ Later, a thorough literature review of scholarly works, ranging from Adogame (2012) and Anderson, Omenyo and Oosthuizen to Sundkler and Xulu, enhanced the emerging ‘story’ of healing. The review, which also took account of the Biblical motif of sozo (σῴζω), led to an identification, refinement, sorting and selection of the main emerging categories, that is, the principles or concepts, which are manifest in Zionist healing ministries. Thus emerged the theory that describes what happens in that healing process. A grassroots emic understanding of the healing phenomenon emerged that was simple: the healing experience involves a spiritual search, a quest. Supplicants to be healed come expecting to be healed. Over eighteen million Zionists in southern Africa seek spiritual solutions to real-life problems, central to which is the need for healing. The Christian context of the healing experience is associated with the activity of the Holy Spirit and spirits. A successful healing draws more people in and leads to church expansion, which is the primary mission of the Church. On three conceptual levels this research refreshes the professional discourse regarding the Church and its mission in southern Africa, namely the nature of healing; the spiritual agents of healing; and finally, healing as a critical key in understanding the Church’s contemporary mission and missional praxis. This research sought to clarify, amplify and apply that understanding for the benefit of the local and global Church.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar word waargeneem dat die verspreiding van die Christendom tans ŉ beduidende ruimtelike verskuiwing ondergaan: waar Christenskap voorheen hoofsaaklik in die Weste beoefen is, is dit deesdae oorwegend in die ontwikkelende wêreld gekonsentreer. Kenmerkend van hierdie Christelike gemeenskappe is die verspreiding van inheemse, onafhanklike kerke. In die meeste gebiede waar die Christendom tans gekonsentreer is, veral in Afrika, is ŉ belangrike fenomeen wat in sodanige kerke voorkom dié van genesing. Hierdie fenomeen, veral in die konteks van Sionistekerke, is ŉ prominente kenmerk van die groei en verspreiding van sodanige kerke. Daarom het hierdie navorsing dit ten doel gestel om ŉ goed onderlegde teorie oor die sendingpraktyk te ontwikkel deur op voetsoolvlak ŉ verskeidenheid gevallestudies oor die fenomeen van genesing in Sionistekerke te ondersoek. Die navorsing het gefokus op die Heilige Gees en ander geeste wat ŉ rol speel in genesing by geselekteerde Sionistegroepe in Suider-Afrika. In die navorsing is daar van die klassieke Gegronde Teoretiese Benadering gebruik gemaak om genesing in Sionistekerke in die Wes-Kaap en Limpopo-provinsie te ondersoek. Deur middel van ŉ iteratiewe proses van kumulatiewe data-insameling en -bestuur het die navorsing dit ten doel gestel om ŉ emiese Sionistebegrip te verkry van wat rondom en tydens sekere genesingsessies gebeur. ŉ Primêre loodsondersoek het die produksie van ŉ volledig onderlegde, tweetalige vraelys gefasiliteer wat benut is as ŉ instrument in die daaropvolgende onderhoude met en waarneming van Sionistiese kerklede. Onderhoude is met negentig volwasse Sioniste in Khayelitsha, Masiphumelele en Limpopo gevoer. Die hele navorsingsproses – van data-insameling tot kodering en die abstrahering van konsepte wat in die data ingebed was – het op die volgende vraag berus: ‘Wat gebeur wanneer genesing onder Sioniste plaasvind?’ Tydens hierdie proses het die beginsel van ŉ soektog herhaaldelik na vore gekom. Vier sodanige tipes soektogte is geïdentifiseer: die soeke na mag, na kommunikasie, na gemeenskap en na spirituele terapie. ŉ Deeglike literatuurstudie van vakkundige werke deur onder andere Adogame (2012), Anderson, Omenyo, Oosthuizen, Sundkler en Xulu het die ontluikende “storie” of teorie van genesing versterk. In hierdie literatuurstudie is onder andere die Bybelse motief sozo (σῴζω) ondersoek, wat daartoe gelei het dat die hoofsoektog wat in Sionistiese genesingswerk manifesteer, geïdentifiseer en geselekteer kon word. Op voetsoolvlak was die emiese begrip van die genesingsfenomeen wat na vore gekom het eenvoudig: Die genesingservaring behels ŉ spirituele soektog. Kandidate vir genesing kom met die verwagting om genees te word. Meer as agtien miljoen Sioniste in Suider-Afrika is op soek na spirituele oplossings vir alledaagse probleme. Wat beduidend is in hierdie soeke is hul behoefte aan genesing en veral holistiese genesing. Die Christelike konteks van die genesingservaring word geassosieer met die handeling van die Heilige Gees en ander geeste. Genesing wat ontvang word, betrek mense by die kerk, wat daartoe lei dat die kerk sy roeping kan vervul deur te groei en uit te brei. Hierdie navorsing dra op drie konseptuele vlakke by tot ŉ hernude professionele diskoers oor die kerk en sendingwerk in Suider-Afrika, naamlik die kerk en genesing, die spirituele agente van genesing en genesing as ŉ beduidende sleutel daartoe om die kontemporere sendingspraktyk te verstaan. Die navorsing het dit ten doel gestel om hierdie begrip te versterk en toe te pas ten bate van die plaaslike en globale kerk.

While the current refugee crisis is the result of various factors, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) remains a significant issue for refugee women. This particular thesis is an applied perspective on the socioecological approach and feminist constructivist theoretical orientation to mental health and psychosocial service provision for refugee women survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. The findings are an analytical stand based upon four interviews conducted with mental healthcare providers working among Maine’s population of recent-arrival refugees from Central/Eastern Africa, as well as a comprehensive literature review on refugee mental health and sexual and genderbased violence theory. It argues that, vis-a-vis these frameworks, care providers can best account for the intersectional identities of the immigrant woman, as well as the collective identity of the culture in which she is situated, both ethnographically via the country of origin, and physically within the resettlement society. The interviews were each individually coded and aggregated into three thematic concentrations spanning a descriptive discussion of cultural differences in perceptions of mental health, a reflection from practitioners regarding the needs for furthering the field, and an inquiry into the macro-level barriers to care. The resulting qualitative evidence from the interviews supports the aforementioned orientations to care and, therefore, illustrates a strong case for culturally-competent applied psychology as a means for both individual and communal healing

Venous leg ulceration is a serious condition affecting 1 – 3% of the population. Decline in the function of the calf muscle pump is correlated with venous ulceration. Many previous studies have reported an improvement in the function of the calf muscle pump, endurance of the calf muscle and increased range of ankle motion after structured exercise programs. However, there is a paucity of published research that assesses if these improvements result in an improvement in the healing rates of venous ulcers. The primary purpose of this pilot study was to establish the feasibility of a homebased progressive resistance exercise program and examine if there was any clinical significance or trend toward healing. The secondary aims were to examine the benefit of a home-based progressive resistance exercise program on calf muscle pump function and physical parameters. The methodology used was a randomised controlled trial where eleven participants were randomised into an intervention (n = 6) or control group (n = 5). Participants who were randomised to receive a 12-week home-based progressive resistance exercise program were instructed through weekly face-to-face consultations during their wound clinic appointment by the author. Control group participants received standard wound care and compression therapy. Changes in ulcer parameters were measured fortnightly at the clinic (number healed at 12 weeks, percentage change in area and pressure ulcer score healing score). An air plethysmography test was performed at baseline and following the 12 weeks of training to determine changes in calf muscle pump function. Functional measures included maximum number of heel raises (endurance), maximal isometric plantar flexion (strength) and range of ankle motion (ROAM); these tests were conducted at baseline, week 6 and week 12. The sample for the study was drawn from the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane, Australia. Participants with venous leg ulceration who met the inclusion criteria were recruited. The participants were screened via duplex scanning and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) to ensure they did not have any arterial complications. Participants were excluded if there was evidence of cellulitis. Demographic data were obtained from each participant and details regarding medical history, quality of life and geriatric depression scores were collected at baseline. Both the intervention and control group were required to complete a weekly exercise diary to monitor activity levels between groups. To test for the effect of the intervention over time, a repeated measures analysis of variance was conducted on the major outcome variables. Group (intervention versus control) was the between subject factor and time (baseline, week 6, week 12) was the within subject or repeated measures factor. Due to the small sample size, further tests were conducted to check the assumptions of the statistical test to be used. The results showed that Mauchly.s Test, the Sphericity assumptions of repeated measures for ANOVA were met. Further tests of homogeneity of variance assumptions also confirmed that this assumption was met. Data analysis was conducted using the software package SPSS for Windows Release 17.0. The pilot study proved feasible with all of the intervention (n=6) participants continuing with the resistance program for the 12 week duration and no deleterious effects noted. Clinical significance was observed in the intervention group with a 32% greater change in ulcer size (p= 0.26) than the control group, and a 10% (p = 0.74) greater difference between the numbers healed compared to the control group. Statistical significance was observed for the ejection fraction (p = 0.05), residual volume fraction (p = 0.04) and ROAM (p = 0.01), which all improved significantly in the intervention group over time. These results are encouraging, nevertheless, further investigations seem warranted to examine the effect exercise has on the healing rates of venous leg ulcers, with a multistudy site, larger sample size and longer follow up period.

The Spirit tradition is a fairly new tradition with its essential focus on experiencing the Holy Spirit. This tradition has made its latest and most influential appearance during the Azusa street revival in Los Angeles at the start of the 1900s. This has started a new wave or move if you want across the earth andhas made inroads into most other existing traditions. It is a tradition fashioned by the needs of believers and the reality of experiencing the Holy Spirit. Worship is a vital part of any Charismatic church service. Upbeat music with talented bands is up front and ready to lead people into passionate and expressive worship. Their worship stretches further than just music. They attempt to fashion their lives as a worship offering to God. Within the Charismatic tradition, the word Liturgy is unheard of, even though it is part of their service. Part of this worship includes the celebration of Communion. Communion is celebrated all over the world in most Christian churches. It has been one of the most sacred sacraments of the church through the centuries. With it came many feuds over doctrine and challenges regarding the form, meaning, presence, elements and so forth. It has been thecenter of many debates. But it still remains central to any believer. The researcher has looked at the history of the Spirit tradition within chapter 2 with its main focus on liturgical rituals of healing, exorcism and speaking in tongues. These rituals are researched and traced all through history. The rituals are present and active in every era the researcher looked at. The Theology of the spirit tradition was also explored. She then went on to look at the history of the Eucharist. The changes and forms were noted. A deeper understanding of the celebration of the Eucharist was realized and the Theology depicted the differences in opinion. No current day practical theological research is complete without Empirical research. This made the researcher more involved. By participatory observation and questionnaires, essential information was gathered regarding how believers in Charismatic churches appropriate their participation during the celebration of Communion. New insights were gained. Based on this research the researcher came to the conclusion that the Meal-and the Spirit worship traditions can come together in a more meaningful way. The true meaning needs to be taught to believers so that a deeper knowledge of the truth of Communion can be gained. Communion cannot remain watered-down and enter as an afterthought during a service. It has the potential to be an incredible experience by any Christian believer. When the Spirit and the Meal can be brought together in a more meaningful way, it has the potential to become the future of Charismatic worship. This conclusion is worked out in some detail in the final chapter.

This thesis discusses the role of music and musical sounds in Butterfly Burning by Yvonne Vera. It analyses the way that Vera has used music interlinked with the action of the novel. This thesis analyses a few areas where music is represented and is important such as: music as an element of healing/forgiveness; music as an element of hope; music as an element of despair; music as an element of working life and the absence of music. This thesis also briefly discusses who the narrator of the novel is and Vera’s writing technique that incorporates images with hypothetical sounds. The conclusion shows that music and musical sounds are important to the novel. It also shows that the music in Butterfly Burning can be compared to the music in a film. Vera has managed to combine the story of the novel and the description of music so that it becomes one inseparable unit.

modo especial úlceras por pressão (UP), é um achado recente na literatura e observado na prática clínica dos serviços de atenção domiciliar (SADs) brasileiros. Entretanto, pouco se sabe sobre a cicatrização das mesmas durante o acompanhamento domiciliar. Objetivo: Avaliar a cicatrização de UPs em pacientes na AD. Métodos: Estudo longitudinal observacional com amostra intencional de 38 adultos com UP acompanhados pelo Programa de Atenção Domiciliar do Grupo Hospitalar Conceição (PAD/GHC). Os pacientes que preencheram os critérios de inclusão foram inseridos sequencialmente no estudo após sua admissão no PAD/GHC. Foram coletados dados sociodemográficos, clínicos e características do acompanhamento em AD. A cicatrização foi avaliada pelo instrumento Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) e pela mensuração da área das UPs (planimetria e profundidade). A coleta de dados ocorreu através do prontuário dos pacientes e por meio de visitas domiciliares na admissão no PAD/GHC e após quatro e seis semanas. As análises descritivas e inferenciais foram realizadas pelo programa estatístico SPSS 18.0. O estudo foi aprovado Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (965.082). Resultados: Cinquenta por cento dos 38 pacientes que compuseram a amostra eram do sexo feminino, houve maior prevalência de idosos (60,5%) e a média de idade foi de 61,58 anos (± 21,34). A hipertensão arterial foi a comorbidade mais prevalente. Quanto ao diagnóstico médico que justificou o acompanhamento no PAD/GHC, o acidente vascular encefálico foi o mais comum (28,9%). A mediana de UPs por paciente foi 2 (Percentis 25-75: 1-3), perfazendo um total de 87 feridas. As categorias de UP predominantes foram a categoria II (48,3%) e a III (35,6%). Aproximadamente 50% das feridas cicatrizaram completamente num período de três semanas. O escore do PUSH e a mensuração das UPs variaram significativamente em quatro e seis semanas (p<0,05). A probabilidade de cicatrização aumentou com o passar do tempo, tendo uma mediana de cicatrização estimada em 44 dias. Conclusões: Houve evolução favorável na cicatrização das UPs de acordo com os três métodos de mensuração utilizados, o que sugere as potencialidades da AD como serviço de atenção aos pacientes com feridas.
pressure ulcers (PUs), is a recent finding in the literature and observed in the clinical practice of Brazilian HC. However, little is known about the healing of these ulcers during home care follow-up. Objective: To assess PU healing in patients followed by a HC. Methods: Followup and observational study with anintentional sample of 38 adult patients with PU followed by the HC of Grupo Hospitalar Conceição (HC/GHC). The patients who met inclusion criteria were sequentially inserted into the study after being admitted in the HC/CHG. Sociodemographic, clinical, and HC follow-up data were collected. Healing was assessed based on the instrument Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) and on the measurement of PUs (planimetry and depth). Data were obtained from patients’records and during home visits on admission to the HCP/CHG and after four and six weeks. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed using SPSS 18.0. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (no. 965.082). Results: Fifty percent of the 38 patients included in the sample were female, there was a higher prevalence of elderly (60.5%), and mean age was 61.58 years (± 21.34). Systemic arterial hypertension was the most prevalent comorbidity. Stroke was the most common medical diagnosis to justify follow-up in the HC/CHG (28.9%). The median number of PUs per patient was 2 (25- 75 percentiles: 1-3), totaling 87 wounds. The predominant categories of PU were II (48.3%) and III (35.6%). Nearly 50% of wounds healed completely within three weeks. PUSH scores and measurements of PUs varied significantly within four and six weeks (p<0.05). The likelihood of healing increased with time, having an estimated average healing in 44 days. Conclusions: There was an improvement in PU healing according to the three measures used in the study, suggesting the AD potentialities of HC as a health care service to patients with wounds.

In this paper I aimed to explore the bodily experiences and expressions that Christian charismatics interpret as religious. The so-called presence of God and the so-called gifts of the spirit were in focus in the gathering of information. My purpose was to find out how the social community of the Christian charismatics affects the subjective bodily experiences that are interpreted as religious by the individual. The main questions were: 1: How do Christian charismatics describe religious experiences and their effect on the body? 2: What bodily expressions of religious experience can be observed in Christian charismatic contexts? 3: Is there a common way of expressing the experience of God's presence (individually or in a group) and how, in this case, can any resemblance be explained? The methods used to answer these questions were qualitative interviews and participant observations, which then were analyzed by the anthropologist Thomas J. Csordas theory of embodiment. By applying his theory on a Swedish-based material I hope to bring a new perspective into the research on this subject and inspire to further research and curiosity about Christian charismatics in Sweden. In this essay phenomena such as falling in the spirit, speaking in tongues, and healing were analyzed. Some of the phenomena, which are interpreted as presences of God by the believer, could be explained according to the theory of embodiment, but some could not. The similarities of bodily religious experiences among different groups of Christian charismatics can be explained with the concept of habitus. That is because even though the groups may have long distances between them, the still share behaviors and belief systems , for example the Bible, as common ideas in the global habitus of Christian charismatics.

Le sacré et les rites sont au centre des pratiques thérapeutiques traditionnelles. La Corse abrite des formes variées de tradithérapeutes, dont les signadori. Ils témoignent d’un nouage particulier entre un discours social en transition, leurs propres conflits psychiques et la demande. Cette recherche clinique, dans une perspective ethnopsychanalytique, s'appuie sur des entretiens réalisés sur le terrain avec des guérisseuses. Les données recueillies ont été analysées selon la méthode standardisée IPA (Analyse Phénoménologique Interprétative). La traversée d’un épisode psychopathologique, faisant office a posteriori de « crise initiatique », se solderait par le « don ». Il incarnerait un système d’échange symbolique sous-tendu par la dette originaire, dialectisant l’ambivalence et l’altérité. La pulsion d’emprise est au centre de ce système. Les interdits qui arriment cette pulsion constituent un espace sacré intrapsychique. Leur transgression ou leur rappel ritualisé pourraient bien apparaître prototypiques des actions de sorcellerie et de celles pour les conjurer
Sacred rituals are at the center of traditional therapeutic practices. The island of Corsica is home to different types of traditherapists, notably the signadori. They show a particular connection between a transitioning social discourse, their own psychic conflicts and the demand. This clinical research, with an ethnopsychoanalytic perspective, is based on interviews conducted in the field with healers. Data collected were analysed in accordance with the standardised IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) method. A psychopathological episode, also considered as an « initiatory crisis » in hindsight, would lead to the « gift ». It represents a system of symbolic exchange, underpinned by the original debt, which dialectises ambivalence and otherness. The hold drive is at the center of this system. The prohibitions that secure this drive constitute an intrapsychic sacred space. Their transgression or ritualized reminder could well appear prototypical witchcraft actions and those to conjure them

In wireless sensor networks, hole detection and hole healing are two major problems. Coverage holes may arise in a Region of Interests (ROI) due to the running out of batteries of sensor nodes or due to the damage of sensor nodes. Li et al. [4] proposed a tree-based coverage hole detection method and a tree-based coverage hole healing method that can effectively detect and heal coverage holes. Li et al. [4] used trees to describe the structures of coverage holes and they proposed the concept that holes that are too small can be ignored. To fulfill this concept, Li et al. [4] first obtained a Delaunay triangulation of the sensor nodes. Then, they used the radiuses of inscribed empty circles of Delaunay triangles to estimate the sizes of local coverage holes, and ignored all local coverage holes with radiuses no larger than a given threshold. In this thesis, we use the idea of [4] to estimate local coverage holes. In particular, we propose a hole-detection algorithm that does not require the assumption that the initial deployment of the sensor nodes completely covers of the boundary of the ROI, and propose a hole-healing algorithm that does not require merging local coverage holes. Do notice that reference [4] requires the above assumption and requires merging local coverage holes. Our hole-healing algorithm supports the concept that holes that are too small can be ignored; if needed, it can achieve 100% coverage of the ROI by adjusting the threshold.

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), hole detection and hole healing are two important problems in maintaining a stable coverage. Coverage holes may arise in a Region of Interests (RoI) due to the running out of batteries of sensors or due to the damage of sensors. Hence, the development of means to detect and to heal the coverage holes is of great significance. For hole detection, Kang et al. [3] provided a decentralized, coordinate-free, node-based coverage hole detection algorithm which maps out the coverage holes by connecting the identified boundary critical points. In this thesis, we first adopt the approach of [3] to map out the boundary critical points. Then, we try to reduce the number of edges of coverage holes; the purpose is to reduce the total number of healing sensors. Our approach to reduce the number of edges of coverage holes is: we replace each boundary critical point with the center of the corresponding sensing circle, and remove redundant centers. For hole healing, Shiu et al. [9] used a divide-and-conquer deployment algorithm based on partitioning the hole into triangles and then, healing each triangle. In this thesis, we propose a dynamic programming approach to minimize the total length of diagonals used in partitioning the hole into triangles. The most important contribution of this thesis is that we find that T can be minimized if D is minimized; where T is the total number of healing sensors and D is the total length of diagonals used to partition coverage holes into triangles. Compared to [3], our hole-healing algorithm guarantees that there is no remaining hole, i.e., the RoI is fully covered. Compared to [9], our hole healing algorithm usually has a smaller T .

Many applications in wireless sensor networks require maintaining full sensing coverage in target area with time went by. Coverage hole may cause injuries to surveillance applications. Because of the energy consumption spatial locality, neighboring sensor nodes deplete their energy off almost simultaneously. These neighboring sensor nodes are called energy hole. Energy holes may cause large coverage hole, and any events occurred within coverage hole will not be detected by sensor networks. In this circumstance, the requirements of surveillance applications can not be satisfied. In this paper, an algorithm is proposed to resolve the energy hole problem. The distribute algorithm can cover energy holes by using mobile sensors. Mobile sensors heal energy hole in parallel way to avoid the large cost of manual sensor deployment. The energy hole expansion problem is overcome by hexagon mechanism. We evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme through simulations. The simulation results show that our proposed protocol has low control message overhead on energy hole information collection and high utilization of mobile sensors about healing energy hole.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have a wide array of applications in monitoring of a specified region of interest (RoI). To maintain an RoI to be completely and continuously covered is a very important task. However, the environmental factors and the intrinsic fragility of sensors make the complete cover of RoI difficult. Thus, the emergence of holes in an RoI is unavoidable. In this thesis, we intend to address the hole healing problem in mobile WSNs. We propose a healing model that can help us to determine the locations that require dispatched sensors. As compared with the existing solution [8], our algorithm has the following three advantages: (1) the non-uniform distribution of sensors will not affect the amount of calculation for the healing process, (2) the number of sensors used by our healing process is more feasible than the number of sensors used by [8], and (3) the number of dispatched sensors used by our algorithm can guarantee that the holes will be healed after running our algorithm once. Notice that the algorithm in [8] may need to run several times to heal the holes.

In wireless sensor network applications, it is a fundamental requirement to maintain essential sensing coverage and network connectivity for ensuring the successful operations of sensing environmental information and sending data to the backend center. However, owing to the limitation of energy supply of the sensor devices, it is unavoidable that the failures of sensor devices will result in coverage holes and topology disconnections. Topology control approaches can effectively adjust and balance the energy consumption of sensor devices. However, due to the limitations of energy resources, extending the lifetime of the network is very limited. The healing method for the failure of wireless sensors is discussed in this thesis. The healing approach is the main method we proposed to keep the system continuously working well, and make the wireless sensor network maintain a high sensing coverage rate and good topological connectivity. In this study, we use mathematical methods to analyze the relationship of healing parameters, such as residual energy of sensors, number of redundant nodes and dispatching speed, to gradually repair the failed nodes and analyze the feasibility of proposed strategies to confirm the parameters in the healing process and keep the system be well functioning. A distributed healing method is subsequently proposed in this thesis, which discusses the healing of coverage holes by the mobile sensor nodes that uniformly deployed in the sensing environment. The mobile sensors located around the boundary of a hole will be invited to heal the hole. This approach can reduce the movement distance of a healing device and thus the energy consumption can be also reduced. When several coverage holes occur in the surveillance field, the priority of the holes to be healed may affect the efficiency of the healing process and the system. Thus, some relevant factors of the holes should be evaluated before the healing process. The evaluation performed in this study is focused on the impact degree of holes on system efficacy, which the factors involves the hole area, distance and influence of the data transmission. Impact degree of each factor on the system efficiency is assigned with a respective weight. After the calculation of the weight for each hole, the total value of weighted degree is used to decide the priority of selecting a hole to heal and the corresponding healing path. It aims to provide the appropriate conditions for topology control and reduce the time delay of data transmission in the wireless sensor network.

When I was a little boy, I had quite a lot of unknown fears and often felt left in despair. During my school years, nightmares became an arbitrary guest that visited me on a irregular basis and often left me in disturbance. Though I didn’t really know what contributed to all these, my early experiences of distress and pains had led me to a continuous investigation and self-healing journey. At the age of 27, the image of a “Black hole” and that of a wounded infant in rejection and starvation appeared in my counseling sessions and then came to my dreams. I came to realize how deep my suffering were. However, the “black hole” itself had no interest in learning about itself. Not much about it have been known until my mid-fiftieth; little have been healed, either. This self-narrative study is aimed to explore and heal what’s inside the “black hole”, i.e. issues suppressed/repressed in the Unconscious unresolved. Images present in my “black hole” include: a warriors armed with guns, a young girl, zombie, and a person swallowing a living sheep, which symbolize dynamic and energy. On the other hand, images emerged in sand therapy include: baby buried in the sand, monster, and the flower of healing, which were the embodiment of feelings and energy. The energy of inner feelings and emotions was expressed through images such as killing, suicide, terror of being killed, and sense of craziness, grieving, and regret. In chapter three, various healing methods were introduced, as well as the insights and effects they brought to me. My self-inquiry revealed: 1. My “self” is split into more than three psychosomatic self-parts. The first self-part is the conscious, adult-self, the second is the suppressor-self, and the third is the unconscious “black hole” self. The second and the third are full of drives for aggression. Dynamics among the three can lay out as follows: the “black hole”, constrained by the suppressor-self, hates the adult-self. 2. Having a professional role as clinical psychologist for 26 years, the author has engaged himself in self-healing of his inner-child trauma. Unfortunately, the effects is still quite limited. Only less than 1% of the trauma was dealt with. The aftereffects of infantile PTSD are still present and affecting the author’s life. 3. The drive to kill the self and others are still present in every single cell of the author’s whole body, particularly around the public region (pronounced as DanTian in Chinese). Without self-healing, it will not be gone. 4. All self-parts demonstrate very little motivation and great ambivalence in exploring and healing the “black hole”, for going inside the ‘black hole’ brings a lot of pain. 5. “Catharsis” works as the most effective way for the author to heal his “inner child” inside “the black hole”, which often presents as fallen zombie. 6. The crying, screaming, anger, and other intensive emotional expression within the “black hole” oftentrigger rejection and criticism in therapy and supporting groups. The author suggests wounded individuals of all kinds invest more time in healing or treatments. Based on their personal experiences, possibilities for healing approaches and methods could be provided.

In today’s aging society, the number of the elderly living alone has been growing gradually. This research has explored this phenomenon, proposing a care and accompaniment appliance that could offer spiritual consolation and medication notification. This appliance could also monitor and record physical parameters, give basic life care, and make distance monitoring. Since the appliance is developed based on the concept of humanization and applicability in daily life, it is not only easy to operate, but also could be readily integrated into users’ living environments. With this care appliance employed, it could often remind the elderly to keep an eye on their own health condition. By interacting with healing partners, the elderly would also become less lonely and more optimistic. In addition, there is a risk classification and rating system as well as notification mechanism built in the system, which will rate and classify the risk in accordance with the abnormality of physical parameters and whether the medication is proper and on schedule. Different risk rates will determine whether it should immediately notify the medics and families of the elderly to pay visits or carry out rescue operation via the network-based monitor console. Emergency notification and distance monitoring is used to allow the family physician and children busy at work to know the user’s recent health condition and medication by accessing the database and reading their physical condition and medication record anywhere anytime. Moreover, it could immediately notify the families and medics for medical aids if it is emergent. Therefore, this system is expected to detect the risk, prevent the potential risk in home health care of the elderly living alone, and take precautionary and immediate emergency measures earlier. This could not only ensure that the elderly living alone is safe and healthy, but also save a lot of healthcare human resources, cost, and time.

This project, utilizing small groups that draw on group theory (Marianne Schneider Corey & Gerald Corey) and attachment theory (John Bowlby), will begin to close the gap between the Orthodox model of the Home Church and the experience of many Orthodox-Catholic marriages, often living out a kind of familial-religious schism. In response to the challenges of intercultural/interdenominational marriage, resources are presented for couples and families to thrive. A focused curriculum has been developed in conjunction with a support group. It is anticipated that this project will be a launching point for future replicated ministries that attend to Greek Orthodox-Catholic couples.

Illness narratives in all their variety have become a central focus of the cultural study of health and disease. These stories inform other patients of what it is like to be living with a certain illness, or about treatment options, or about the possibilities of transcendence. They represent efforts on the part of the narrator to make sense of their suffering from the illness and they thereby promote empathic understanding of the illness experience. However, narratives in general rely on a temporal structure in which each event is located in a linear sequence, and this can limit the way illness is represented, especially in relation to a disease like cancer. The story of cancer is often flattened into some kind of personal history or reduced to a strive-to-survive story. This thesis challenges the dominant linear approach to telling cancer stories and argues that a spatialised account is needed to articulate the wider, multi-dimensional cancer experience. Drawing on a range of written and filmic texts, the thesis is an attempt to free cancer from the temporal plot. Even though this is a cultural study of cancer, it is not concerned with the sociocultural/historical reconstruction of the illness. It is not about the voice of patients and the subjective illness experience, either. In fact, it attempts to move away from the very subject of cancer and look at what is outside of this frame. The notion of space offers us an alternative based on its two properties. First, space does not propel its inhabitants to move in any linear direction, but it requires us to explore it in order to know it. Second, space may contain objects and people, and their various relationships formed with one another, which, in turn, give all kinds of meanings to space. The spatial understanding of cancer can thus decentre the scientific reasoning of biomedicine and redefines healing as located within the very experience of illness itself. The spatial perspective, I argue, offers a fuller and more complex vision of the relationship between illness, death and dying that can encompass hope, despair, bad luck and miracle, which are all part of what living with cancer means. A holistic approach is utilised in the thesis, integrating literary, architectural and filmic material. Section One, Stories of Cancer, focuses on what is not being spoken in stories of cancer. It analyses scientific narratives, Dorothea Lynch's memoir Exploding into Light and the films The Bucket List and 2 Become 1. Section Two, The Spatial Story of Cancer, looks at how space tells stories through an analysis of Helen Garner's novel The Spare Room and the network of cancer support centres known as Maggie's Center. Section Three, Hope and Miracles examines the experience of hope among family members and the holistic practice of Chinese medicine.

The current study focuses on the aging population with an increasing number of elderly people who live alone. It proposes the practical solution for these healthcare issues of the elderly at home, developing a user-friendly healing partner system to provide the following healthcare functions at home which includes a sleep monitoring system, a psycho-emotional partner near the bed, a detection of monitoring for vital signs and sleep disorders, a system that provides remote monitoring. This study stands for using simply, operating easily, and low-cost healthcare system, which can be easily blended with users’ living environments and be put in a well noticed place in daily life. By using this system, the elderly people could be reminded constantly to keep an eye on their own health condition. And by interacting with healing partners of the system could help the elderly reducing the risks of emotional disturbance. There is a content management system which is used for remote monitoring. The health management of risk classification and rating system as well as notification mechanism built in the content management system, which will define the classification and the level of the risk by the information of bed entry and bed exit and the bed-time, and the abnormality of physical parameters. Different levels of risk will help the system to determine whether it should be immediately connected to the content management system for informing the family or the doctor or the other medical staff, moreover, paying attention to rescue the elderly if severely abnormal vital signs or life threatening situation detected by the system. In the content management system and the function of remote monitoring allow the family doctor and busy-working children to access the recent condition and to record of elderly people at home by a form of a web page. Moreover, it could immediately inform the doctors and the families for medical aids if it is an emergency. Therefore, this system is expected to detect and prevent the potential risk for the elderly living alone of healthcare at home, and take earlier emergency treatment. It not only can ensure the safety and health of the elderly living alone from the system, but also can save a lot of human resources, cost, and time for healthcare.

Part one of this paper is a literature review and analysis of the principle of repetition in healing. This includes an overview of archaic healing practices including the cosmogonic myth, healing practices in some indigenous cultures, as well as an analysis of some healing techniques used in psychology. The literature shows that there is a history of healing practices from archaic beginnings to present day psychology that is based on the principle of repetition. Various theoretical perspectives are part of the discussion. Part one concludes that the process of art therapy as well as the structure of the art therapy session are based on the principle of repetition. The art therapy session is compared to the cosmogonic myth as a healing device. The three main components of the art therapy session were analyzed, the art, the narrative and the transference. It concludes that each of these components are based on the principle of repetition. Part two of this research is an illustration of some of the concepts of part one using a case study. It explores the art and narrative of the case as concrete examples of the principles developed. More specifically the principle of repetition, using the Navaho ceremony as a theoretical model, was concretized through discussion supported by examples of imagery and narrative.

This study takes the home interior environment as the carrier. Through the literature review of the healing environment, and the analysis of environmental psychology and design philosophy, we study the characteristics of the healing emotion which the users in the home environment need, and explore how to design a healing home environment that would meet the emotional needs of the user. We expect our study can provide a general design rule of the healing home environment.Furthermore, in the operation of the actual case, we propose the possibility of design application, which is called Evidenced-Based Design (EBD). It is well known that space is the container of life, and the home environment could influence the physical, mental, and spiritual statuses of the users who stay in. In modern society, people feel that their hearts are drifting, wandering and uneasy, their relationships with others are alienated, and their human emotions are pathetic. Hence, it is necessary for them to find a way to release their feelings and get satisfied. The demand for the home environment includes but not limited to provide the basic functions or the splendid appearances. Instead, they would pay more attention on whether the design of the home environment could provide comfort to the needs of the body, mind and spirit.We anticipate that a practical design method, the theory of healing home environment, will be generalized through our study. Using the healing elements, it is feasible to create a “slow, quiet, elegant, simple, leisure” home environment, to regain the recovery and moving of the user’s soul, to heal the heart, and to bring forth happiness.

Until the Stones Cry Out: Materialities of Faith and Technologies of the Holy Ghost in Southern Appalachia is an ethnography of the often unrecognized infrastructures that have sustained Charismatic practices of healing and performances of faith since the mid-twentieth century. My research demonstrates that the broadcasting of healing prayer over the radio, the circulation of curative faith cloths through the postal system, and the architecture of massive canvas revival tents are not merely passive instrumentalities for the transmission of a discretely self-contained religious content, but affect, most fundamentally, the way ritual practices such as intercessory prayer and faith healing are experienced and understood by Charismatic communities within the United States. Moving comparatively between ethnographic and archival evidence, this work explores the objects and technologies that provide the material underpinnings for Pentecostal performances of faith, prayer and the miraculous. On the rhetorical side of these charismatic phenomena, this ethnology examines inspired preaching styles and performances of religious testimony in order to track the appearance and circulation of so-called Holy Ghost power within spaces of ecstatic and enthusiastic worship.

This study explores past and present conflict in Northern Manitoba through the lens of the Helen Betty Osborne case. Although Helen Betty was murdered over forty years ago, conflict concerning racial discrimination, sexism, and social injustice continues to impact community members in The Pas, Opaskwayak Cree Nation, the R.M. of Kelsey, and other communities living in the province and across Canada. Her story has also undergone processes of silencing and desilencing over time as conflict over past/present social injustice resurfaces. Through the use of semi-structured, one-on-one interviews and focus groups, participants were asked to reflect on the impact of the Osborne case, their experiences with racism in the community, and what could be done to improve cross-cultural relationships moving forward. Using narrative inquiry and an Indigenist philosophy toward research, this study incorporates the stories of these individuals and presents them in a timeline: the past, the present, and the future. Drawing on this structure for analysis provides insight into past and present conflict, yet also reveals the presence of community peacemakers who have contributed to the formation and building of cross-cultural relationships in the area. Key findings revolve around participants’ suggestions for what the community needs to do to move forward and improve cross-cultural relationships, which include youth engagement, learning culture, increased cross-cultural interaction and dialogue, establishing safe places in which conflict can be addressed and vulnerable people can go to for help, and finding innovative ways to “celebrate diversity” and “build a human culture” in diverse communities. Ultimately, though, the significant and rising number of Indigenous women who continue to experience unprecedented levels of abuse in Canada warrants further inquiry into the unique challenges Indigenous women continue to face.

The Holy Bible is suitable reading material for bibliotherapy. Previous studies have found that when Christians read the Bible more often, they feel more satisfied with their daily lives. Many Christians and priests also agree that reading the Bible can help people endure hardships. Therefore, this study involved the application of bibliotherapy. The researcher deployed semi-structured in-depth interviews with 12 undergraduates and graduate students from National Taiwan University. This study evaluated the emotional healing efficacy of the Bible by examining the reasons that Christians continue to read the Bible as a daily habit and the emotional healing processes of identification, catharsis, and insight. Additionally, the factors that affected the emotional healing process were analyzed. The findings showed that most interviewees believed that reading the Bible alleviated their negative emotions. Stories and biographies, poetry, doctrines, symbolism, and historical narratives could provide a full process of emotional healing efficacy for Christians who suffer from such problems as struggling with their future careers, relationships with others, feeling ashamed of their religious beliefs, self-identity problems, negative emotion regulation, breakups with significant others and grief from bereavement. The factors that affected emotional healing efficacy included the following: Christian students could relate their personal situations to the Bible; the infectious emotional expression of the authors or characters in the Bible; and the positive problem-solving methods or attitudes employed by the authors or characters. On the basis of the results of this study, the researcher suggests that Christian undergraduate and graduate students and their friends and tutors could use the Bible as a emotional healing reading material. Furthermore, churches could adopt the theory and method of developmental bibliotherapy and apply the concept of bibliotherapy to curricular Bible-reading activities. The researcher also recommends that libraries attempt to develop bibliotherapeutic services and identify emotional healing materials from their collections.

Domestic violence against women and children is a significant international issue. There are many obstacles survivors face, and the problem is more complex than is often perceived. This interior design practicum responds by focusing on the design of a transitional housing facility that creates a paradigm shift away from the institutional approach. The key interior spaces include areas that help individuals nourish and heal from their challenging experiences; the overall approach focused on establishing community networks amongst the residents. The overarching architectural language and designs were informed primarily by Japanese Zen, Theory of Supportive Design, Lifeboat theory, and Experiential Learning Theory. Additional literature investigation on Shinrin-yoku and Therapeutic Landscapes have helped to shape the final programme and design. Along with relevant precedent studies, a design has been proposed called Hana's Place, a transitional housing facility that is aimed at being a place survivors of domestic violence can call home.

“Holy Body, Wholly Other: Sanctity and Society in the Lives of Irish Saints” focuses on the ways in which Ireland’s hagiographers portrayed holy otherness in the Lives of their subjects, using the Latin vitae, the vernacular bethada and the Lives containing both languages that survive from the 600s through the end of the fourteenth century. This study considers three broad themes, namely the transition of a sanctified essence into a holy body and the resulting alteration of an otherwise mortal form into a wholly other, the saintly prosecution of vengeance against those who wrong the body Christian and the enactment of hagiographical healing to bring the community of the faithful back to full integrity. These themes are analyzed within the social and cultural context of medieval Ireland, and are particularly compared with the biblical, apocryphal, heroic and legal writings of the Irish Middle Ages. Depictions of male and female saints are also compared and contrasted, as are the shifts in such depictions that occur between Latin and Irish narratives. Throughout the Lives the language of the laws of church and society inform the saint’s portrait, firmly situating these holy men and women within the sphere of medieval Ireland. Elements of Irish sanctity are drawn from vernacular heroic saga, but the predominant influence upon the Lives of Ireland’s sanctified is a powerful combination of apocryphal and canonical scriptures, demonstrating that Irish holiness can only have emanated from heaven. This combination, moreover, differs between male and female saints and between Latin and Irish Lives; holy men are modeled very strongly upon both Old and New Testament figures, while lady saints are painted more in the hues of imitatio Christi. Further, Latin vitae follow patterns capable of speaking to both Irish and non-Irish audiences alike, while vernacular Lives observe models that needed to appeal only to the Irish themselves.

The Evangelical movement is a significant Christian movement in the life of the Zambian Nation and it is to this movement that the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement belongs. Undoubtedly this movement has become to be a vital player in enhancing the voice of hope and change that Evangelicals have trumpeted in the past twenty years. Emerging in the shadows of formidable established Christian movements such as the Evangelical fellowship of Zambia and Christian Council of Zambia, the movement is yet to consolidate itself as one of the influencing groups within the Evangelical movement. For this to happen, they has to be realization of the potential there is to become an agent of change in the Nation. In order to attain this, the movement needs introspection in their perception and involvement in socio-economic development and theological response to matters which affect communities they serve. This work endeavors to high light historical factors which have contributed to the development and growth of the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement in Zambia. Roles and contributions of the movement towards the Evangelical movement as well us short comings.

This research journey examines the process of co-creating, along with my co-travellers (research participants), a more holistic approach to trauma debriefing. Whilst incorporating elements of Mitchell's (1983) Critical Incidence Stress Debriefing model (C.I.S.D.), our point of difference has been to adopt a narrative pastoral approach. This was achieved by introducing spirituality and narrative therapy practices. Our research pathway has been further shaped by adopting a qualitative research approach within a postmodern, social construction discourse. My research curiosity was invited by both the mind, body and soul divide expressed in psychology; and the healing possibilities of spirituality I have witnessed in both my own and in the lives of others. While my co-travellers predominantly preferred to express their spirituality in terms of Christianity, our narrative pastoral approach to trauma debriefing is offered to people of all religious persuasions.

This qualitative action research was activated at the junction between three sites of operation of modern power: the site of the woman in the family, religious and cultural power discourses and the professional discourses of therapy. Using an action research design for this study focused the research on reaping benefits in real terms for the research participants. The researcher applied a postStructuralist, feminist and narrative approach to the phenomenon of failed personhood as manifested in the lives of two White Afrikaans women. Narrative therapy methodologiElS, steeped in a religious studies ethic were valuable guides on the therapy-as-research journeys, ensuring the exposure and deconstruction of dominant cultural and religious power discourses. In the course of the therapeutic and research journeys, various narrative therapy methodologies were used with positive effect on the life world of the participants. These methodologies included the externalisation of problems and the discovery of unique outcomes that constitute alternative, preferred life stories that contradict problem-saturated life stories of failed personhood. The research participants engaged in individual and communal conversations, relanguaging their self-narratives and religious narratives as part of the coconstruction of their preferred identities of moral agency and hope. Support networks were created for the research participants, Mara and Grace, to strengthen their new self- and religious narratives and to dislodge the power of the normative cultural and religious discourses of rugged individualism. In one instance, the researcher incorporated the healing power of South African bush veld, by inviting a group of women on a series of expeditions into the wilderness as part of Mara's journey. fn Grace's narrative, we utilised the modern technologies of the internet to connect her with a virtual response team and the Anti-Anorexia/Anti-Bulimia League. Storytelling and reflecting conversations formed the basis of the therapy-asresearch processes. The research participants extended therapy conversations beyond the therapy room, by actively participating in their therapy-as-research journeys. In line with narrative approaches, the researcher encouraged them to honour their skills and knowledges on their journeys: Mara extended her therapy by making resistance quilts while Grace assimilated her art, poetry and resistance writing into her healing process.

Working in a township is a challenging but also rewarding way of living. In this dissertation the researcher, in collaboration with the co-searchers, explore ways to mentor one another as they learn how to deal with trauma, either by experiencing trauma directly or witnessing secondary trauma. This leads to new ways of being 'in the moment', coping with trauma, forming a community of care and learning to be in an aware and empowered position. The responsibility of practical theology and the commitment to pastoral care are explored in the context of theology, and spesifically feminist theology, contributing to 'do hope' in Mamelodi.

This dissertation analyses Reinhard Bonnke's evangelistic ministry in Africa, and examines to what extent his propagated "Evangelism by Fire" conforms with the New Testament ministry of evangelism. The results of an analysis of the New Testament ministry of evangelism, especially of the evangelistic ministry of Philip, provide the basis for a comparison with Bonnke's understanding and practice of the evangelistic ministry. A thorough analysis of Bonnke's publications, especially those referring to the theme of evangelism, allows a systematic insight into his understanding of the evangelistic ministry. In order to examine the conformity between Reinhard Bonnke's understanding and his practice of evangelism, expert interviews referring to his gospel crusade in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, in 2002 are analysed, and compared to his understanding of evangelism. Finally, the findings about Bonnke's understanding and practice of evangelism are related to the New Testament evangelistic ministry, and analysed synoptically. The research results of this study show that Bonnke's understanding of evangelism and his practice of evangelism, during the gospel crusade in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, conform with each other. Bonnke's propagated and applied "Evangelism by Fire" shows him to be an evangelist orientated to the New Testament. Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Dissertation setzt sich mit Reinhard Bonnkes evangelistischem Dienst in Afrika auseinander und überprüft, inwiefern die von ihm bekannt gemachte ,,Evangelism by Fire" mit dem neutestamentlichen evangelistischen Dienst übereinstimmt. Die Ergebnisse aus einer Untersuchung des evangelistischen Dienstes im Neuen Testament, insbesondere des evangelistischen Dienstes des Philippus, bieten die Grundlage für einen Vergleich mit dem Evangelisationsverständnis und der Evangelisationspraxis Bonnkes. Eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit Bonnkes Publikationen, insbesondere zum Thema Evangelisation, gibt einen systematischen Einblick in sein Verständnis des evangelistischen Dienstes. Um Reinhard Bonnkes Evangelisationsverständnis auf Übereinstimmung mit seiner Evangelisationspraxis zu überprüften, werden Experteninterviews zu seiner 2002 durchgeführten Großevangelisation in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, ausgewertet und mit seinem Evangelisationsverständnis verglichen. Schließlich werden die gewonnenen Forschungsergebnisse zu Bonnkes Evangelisationsverständnis und Evangelisationspraxis in Relation zum neutestamentlichen evangelistischen Dienst gesetzt und synoptisch ausgewertet. Die Forschungsergebnisse zeigen, dass Bonnkes Evangelisationsverständnis und seine Evangelisationspraxis während der Evangelisation in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, kongruieren. Die von Bonnke propagierte und praktizierte ,,Evangelism by Fire" offenbart ihn als Evangelisten mit neutestamentlicher Grundausrichtung.

The purpose for this research journey was twofold: (1) to discover the power of certain discourses in the charismatic church context and (2) to challenge disrespectful discursive practices in order to co-operate respectful, ethical and caring ways of being. Seven leaders in charismatic churches committed themselves to this qualitative research project. The research process resulted in a confirmation by the participants that some charismatic discursive practices can be abusive and also to the acknowledgement that they too have at times fulfilled the role of abuser, even in unknowingly. This research journey ended in Hope. Hope for more transparency and trust between leaders and members, resulting in more respectful practices.
