Hudson, Brenda Kay. "Vision of creation| A Jungian view of Hildegard's "On the Origin of Life" vision." Thesis, Pacifica Graduate Institute, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3716788.
Повний текст джерелаHildegard von Bingen, a visionary abbess living in the tumultuous 12th century, recorded and interpreted three very powerful visions pertaining to Christianity. This dissertation is limited to the first image of Hildegard’s last vision called De Operatione Dei, the Works of God, a cosmological vision about creation. Hildegard named this image On the Origin of Life.
The thesis of this dissertation suggests the four main characters in the first image of Hildegard’s cosmological vision—the two-headed and four-winged red figure named Caritas standing on the serpent-wrapped monster—correspond to the four stages of Jung’s individuation—encounter with the shadow (serpent), encounter with the soulimage (monster as Adam), encounter with the god-image (Caritas), emergence of the Self (godhead). Each of these characters and stages represent a level in what has been called by perennial philosophy the Great Chain of Being. Hildegard’s vision represents the unfolding of Spirit into matter. Jung’s individuation process describes the soul’s journey back towards Spirit.
This work starts by introducing the vision and Hildegard’s interpretation. Next it moves to what other authors have written. Since the vision is about creation the interpretation starts with the literalists’ view of Genesis and moves to the mystical interpretations of Genesis. Other creation stories including a serpent and a goddess amplify the interpretation. Then, using Jungian and alchemical symbols the images of this iv vision are further elaborated. The research follows the logic of the axiom of Maria, from the uroboros, to the hermaphrodite, to the trinity and ending with the marriage quaternio—two pairs of hermaphrodites. Byington’s symbolic elaboration process is used to interpret the dramatic action of the vision thereby bringing the vision back to life as Hildegard might have experienced it. Finally, the parallel between Hildegard’s vision and Jung’s individuation process is explained in detail. The work ends with Hildegard’s interpretation of why god created the world showing how it aligns with the goal of individuation, and how both are critical for the life of the soul in the 21st century.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis addressed the problem by first developing and distributing a survey to Vision 2020 contacts, government, and non government organisations in 195 countries during 2006-2008 to assess the current situation of low vision services globally. The survey was first pilot tested leading to improvements in the length, layout, and content of its form. Specifically, the survey topics included: epidemiology, policies, human resources, service provision, barriers, equipment, and monitoring and evaluation.
The Classification Analysis and Regression Tree (CART), logistic regression methodology and grounded theory analysis were used to present the findings and identify the critical success factors of low vision service coverage. The qualitative component consisted of case studies in three countries (India, Ghana, and Cameroon) during November 2007 and 2008. A total of 101 interviews were carried out. The case studies provided an overview and historical perspective of services, effectiveness, cost, efficiency, acceptability, access, equity, sustainability, and ideal situations as recommended by interviewees. Qualitative findings from the case studies were produced with the assistance of the NVivo software.
The primary results are that the majority (80%) of countries have poor (≤10%) coverage. Key issues pertinent to the current situation of service coverage are: human resources (number and combination of disciplines), funding (sustainability and arrangements), type of services provided (comprehensive and multidisciplinary) and its locations (NGOs or government facilities), and the sociodemographic and economic barriers (costs, awareness, and rural areas) to accessing services.
The critical success factors found in this research are represented by the ‘FRAME’: Funding (sustainable source, public and private mix), Rehabilitation workers (e.g., adequate numbers of multidisciplinary personnel), Access to low vision devices, Multidisciplinary services; and External contextual influences in which low vision services operate in. The case studies identified seven major themes that further build on the FRAME: sustainability, governance, advocacy, human resources, access, awareness, and service delivery.
The conclusion of the thesis is that a global picture of the current situation of low vision services was acquired and it is now known which countries have poor (≤10%) and better (>10%) coverage. It also found the critical success factors that will assist the WHO Low Vision Working Group and Vision 2020 to improve the current models of service delivery, future planning, training curriculum development, and priorities setting. Specifically, these need to be achieved through three areas of action: human resources development, sustainability, and advocacy.

Повний текст джерелаThis phenomenological study examines the work–life balance of Nigerian women leaders who are instrumental in visioning and shaping the future of Nigeria’s public education. The research delves into the past, present, and future of Nigerian public education based on the perception and life course of key Nigerian women educational leaders located in Nigeria and in the diaspora. Further, the study explores the work–life balance of these women leaders and their vision for public education in Nigeria. This study also explores the experiences; relational style, drive, and motivation, identity, and adaptive style that shape the life course and impact the decisions in these women’s life course. The study was prompted by the perceived change in the state of the Nigerian public educational system from pre-independence to post-independence. Public education is essential to offering hope and equity to all, including the poor. Education is a fundamental good rooted in the concept of human capital. Human capital is concerned with the human skills factor of production in the development process. The development process depends on quality education that determines one’s earnings in market economies.
The study goes into the archives of public education in Nigeria to examine the experiences, past and present, of the sample of Nigerian women leaders and their impact on—and vision for—the future of Nigerian education. The data examine how the Nigerian government embraced the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and how the women played the dual roles of leaders and managers of their households. To better understand the dual roles of women, it was essential to review the decentralization and privatization of education in Nigeria as it related to the politicization of education expenditures.

Повний текст джерелаExiste una necesidad creciente en el mundo occidental de conocer la calidad de vida (CdV) de los pacientes afectados de patologías oculares que ocasionan discapacidad visual (DV). En este tipo de patologías, los datos objetivos, como la agudeza visual (AV) o las pruebas diagnósticas como retinografías o tomografías de coherencia óptica (OCT), ofrecen información importante, pero no reflejan el efecto de la limitación visual en la vida del paciente. Así, en numerosos estudios va cobrando más importancia el uso de instrumentos específicos para valorar la CdV que miden indirectamente la realidad visual de la persona. El cuestionario de calidad de vida relacionado con la visión (CVRV) Low Vision Quality of Life (LVQOL, Wolffsohn JS, Cochrane AL, 2000) fue de los primeros instrumentos diseñados específicamente para conocer la CdV en pacientes afectados de Baja Visión (BV). El LVQOL consta de 25 preguntas subdivididas en cuatro categorías distintas y, en su versión original, ha demostrado ser una herramienta fiable en pacientes con BV, midiendo la CdV base inicial y posteriormente en la evolución de la patología, o ayudando a valorar el éxito de una rehabilitación visual. Debido a la carencia de un instrumento debidamente validado en castellano para valorar la CdV en pacientes con BV, el objetivo principal de este estudio es validar en español el cuestionario Low Vision Quality of Life y evaluar sus propiedades psicométricas. Métodos: Tras un proceso de adaptación transcultural del cuestionario, para la evaluación de las propiedades psicométricas se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, longitudinal, multicéntrico (un Hospital público y una Clínica privada de Barcelona), prospectivo de cohortes y de tipo psicométrico, en el que se analizaron 170 pacientes con DV y 195 sanos. Se recogieron variables sociodemográficas y clínicas, así como las respuestas de los instrumentos de CdV: LVQOL, NEI VFQ-25 y EQ 5D-5L. La fiabilidad se evaluó mediante la consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach) del total de la muestra, y valorando la reproducibilidad test-retest (mediante el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman (¿)) en pacientes estables, administrando un cuestionario basal y otro al cabo de 15 días (n = 73) en la muestra del H. público. La validez se estudió en el test basal (n = 257) mediante las correlaciones con variables clínicas, psicosociales y con las subescalas de los instrumentos de CdV administrados. Finalmente, se realizó un análisis factorial (n = 170) para valorar la estructura del instrumento. Igualmente, se evaluaron las propiedades psicométricas del NEI VFQ-25 y se analizaron las relaciones del instrumento con el resto de las variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y psicosociales. Resultados: Las propiedades psicométricas del nuevo instrumento presentaron un alfa de Cronbach de 0,981 (IC 95%: 0,978-0,985) y una reproducibilidad de 0,864, p<0,001. La puntuación del instrumento se correlacionó con la puntuación del NEI VFQ-25 (0,96) y de sus subescalas (todas con valores > 0,78), exceptuando Conducción (0,58) y Dolor ocular, que presentaron divergencia (0,23); en el caso del EQ 5D-5L, mostró convergencia con los ítems Autocuidado (-0,41) y Actividades cotidianas (-0,73), y divergencia con el resto de los ítems y la puntuación total. Los resultados del análisis factorial no confirmaron la estructura propuesta por el autor en la versión original. Se hallaron correlaciones con la edad, nivel de ingresos y tipo de patología causante de DV. Conclusiones: La versión española del LVQOL es semántica y conceptualmente equivalente a la versión original. Los resultados de las propiedades psicométricas sugieren que presenta una excelente validez, consistencia interna y reproducibilidad. El uso de este instrumento puede resultar de gran utilidad en la práctica clínica diaria para evaluar, y así mejorar, la calidad de vida de pacientes con DV.
Existeix una necessitat creixent en el món occidental de conèixer la qualitat de vida (QdV) dels pacients afectats per patologies oculars que ocasionen discapacitat visual (DV). A causa de l'increment de l'esperança de vida en aquests països, la prevalença de patologies degeneratives com la Degeneració Macular Associada a l'Edat (DMAE) ha augmentat, conduint a un nombre creixent de pacients amb DV. Molts d'aquests pacients estan sense diagnosticar, i la major part d'aquesta població acudirà a un centre sanitari d'atenció primària, sent possiblement el metge de família o l'òptic optometrista qui primer els atengui abans de ser remesos i visitats per l'oftalmòleg. En aquest tipus de patologies, les dades objectives, com l'agudesa visual (AV), o les proves diagnostiques, com retinografies o tomografies de coherència òptica (OCT), proporcionen informació rellevant, però no reflecteixen l’efecte de la limitació visual en la vida del pacient. Així, en nombrosos estudis va cobrant més importància l'ús d’instruments específics per valorar la QdV, que mesuren indirectament la realitat visual de la persona. L’instrument de qualitat de vida relacionat amb la visió (QVRV) Low Vision Quality of Life (LVQOL), desenvolupat per Wolffsohn y Cochrane en l’any 2000, va ser un dels primers a ser dissenyat específicament per conèixer la QdV en pacients afectats de baixa visió (BV). Aquest instrument el va traduir i publicar al castellà el propi autor James Stuart Wolffsohn (JSW), si bé sense seguir el procés normalitzat de traducció i adaptació cultural, i sense estar validat mai al castellà. El LVQOL consta de 25 preguntes subdividides en quatre categories diferents i, en la seva versió original ha demostrat ser una eina fiable en pacients amb BV, mesurant la QdV base inicial i posteriorment en l'evolució de la patologia, o ajudant a valorar l'èxit d’una rehabilitació visual (RV). A causa de la manca d'un instrument degudament validat en castellà per valorar la QdV en pacients amb BV, el nostre grup investigador es va plantejar aquesta tesi amb els objectius que es detallen a continuació i amb la finalitat de poder oferir als òptics optometristes especialitzats en BV i als oftalmòlegs, una eina útil i validada per a mesurar la QdV en pacients de parla castellana amb DV. Es van plantejar 3 objectius globals. El primer va ser validar a l'espanyol el qüestionari Low Vision Quality of Life que avalua la CVRV en pacients afectats de discapacitat visual i evaluar les seves propietats psicomètriques. La resta d’objectius van ser la comparació del LVQOL amb l’instrument NEI VFQ-25, considerat gold estàndard en el camp de l'oftalmologia, i l’anàlisi de la possible correlació entre els resultats del LVQOL i diverses variables sociodemogràfiques.

Повний текст джерелаThe present study deals with the way death is understood in hospital context by professionals and how they feel the process of life ending of their patients. The goals of this research were to find out if there is humanization in the way patients are taken care and if the treatment offered by hospitals to sick people gives them respect and dignity. This research was carried out in the Oncology Department of Santa Maria da Feira Hospital in Portugal, in connection with 6 professionals ( 3 Doctors, 1 Nurse, 1 Psychologist and 1 Social Assistant). After the research the conclusion is that death is understood as something inevitable, an acceptance process for some people and a defeat and frustration for others. Nevertheless contempt or exclusion for patients was not observed by professionals. Another conclusion was the fact of the inexistence of a permanent Social Assistant in the Department, which is a lack in the multidisciplinary team. Communication, solidarity, as well as the concern of providing a good quality of life in terms of autonomy, freedom of choice and the power of deciding about their things and giving dignity to the patients were the main priorities of the professionals of this Department.
