The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the effect that a subject's level of social connectedness on their perceptions of a counselor during the intake setting. There is theoretical and empirical evidence arising both from Kohutian self-psychology as well as interpersonal psychological literature that indicates that one's level of social connectedness, race, and gender should directly affect one's perception of counselors in a therapeutic setting. This study found suggestive, but not conclusive, evidence that social connectedness is positively related to how counselors are rated on dimensions of trustworthiness, expertness, and attractiveness. Suggestive differences across race and level of training of the counselor were also found, but the differences were not statistically significant. Implications of this study and suggestions for further research are discussed. / text

Dalis šių žmonių tampa visiškais benamiais ─ neturi nuolatinio darbo, gyvenamosios vietos, valkatauja, elgetauja, nusikalsta. Jie nakvoja atsitiktinėse vietose: vasarą parkuose, apleistuose pastatuose, žiemą – šiluminėse trasose, stotyse. Tikslus tokių benamių skaičius nežinomas. Laikinai jie gali prisiglausti nakvynės namuose. Poreikis apsigyventi nakvynės namuose yra žymiai didesnis nei laisvų vietų skaičius juose.

Stroke is a worldwide medical emergency, and the trend in its incidence is rising. Stroke leads to activity limitation and participation restriction among stroke clients. However rehabilitation of stroke disability has been found as lacking emphasis on reintegration issues, resulting into stroke clients facing different barriers to reintegration in the community after discharge. There is limited information about experiences of stroke clients in the communities after discharge from rehabilitation centers in Malawi. The current study was conducted to explore the barriers to reintegration experienced by the clients post discharge from a rehabilitation center in Malawi. A qualitative research was adopted to explore the perceived barriers to reintegration at Malawi Against Physical Disabilities (MAP) Kachere rehabilitation centre in Blantyre. In-depth interviews were utilized to capture data from rerspectives of eight stroke clients, eight caregivers and seven service providers. The data was analyzed by means of content analysis. The findings of this study show key barriers that challenge community reintegration at two levels: individual and environmental. At individual level the barriers include impairments mainly depression and anxiety and physical weakness; and personal characteristics such as denial, gender and comorbidity. At the environmental level stroke clients experience attitudinal barriers by people in different settings of the community, poor terrain, long distance to places of interest, inaccessible structures and poverty. From the findings, therefore, stroke client experience wide range of barriers in both the activity and participation domains of community reintegration. Based on the key findings, recommendations have been made along three broad lines. To decrease barriers to reintegration, service providers could use the findings to consider equally addressing the potential negative contextual factors to reintegration when managing stroke clients, a shift from purely medical model approach to management of stroke. To increase rehabilitation services the government of Malawi could address the problem of limited funding to rehabilitation organizations and put measures to increase number of rehabilitation personnel at community, district and national levels. Further research in the area of community reintegration and development of a model of stroke care and rehabilitation in the country has also been recommended with view to improving stroke care and enhanced community reintegration post stroke in the country. / Magister Scientiae (Physiotherapy) - MSc(Physio)

Η αγορά των συνταγογραφούμενων φαρμάκων λειτουργεί σε ένα πολύπλοκο περιβάλλον που διαμορφώνεται από ισχυρές κυβερνητικές πιέσεις, ριζικές αλλαγές στην ιατρική περίθαλψη σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο, αυξανόμενο συγκεντρωτισμό της αγοράς και μεγαλύτερο ανταγωνισμό από αντίγραφα φάρμακα. Δημιουργείται έτσι η πιεστική ανάγκη για τις φαρμακευτικές εταιρίες να συγκεκριμενοποιήσουν την εικόνα που έχουν οι μέτοχοί τους για αυτές (εταιρική εικόνα) και αν είναι εφικτό να προσπαθήσουν να την διαμορφώσουν. Η δημιουργία και διατήρηση μιας θετικής εταιρικής φήμης είναι μια πολύ δύσκολη και πολύπλοκη διαδικασία, που λίγες εταιρίες κατορθώνουν να πετύχουν. Περισσότερη μελέτη του αντικειμένου υποστηρίζει την άποψη ότι υπάρχουν πολλοί εσωτερικοί παράγοντες που πρέπει να ρυθμιστούν από μια εταιρία για να απολαμβάνει ευνοϊκή φήμη από τους ομάδες ενδιαφερομένων (stakeholders). Οι εσωτερικοί παράγοντες αφορούν πληροφορίες ή σήματα που εκπέμπουν οι εταιρίες, σχετικά με την οικονομική και λογιστική τους επίδοση, την ύπαρξη θεσμικών επενδυτών στο μετοχικό τους κεφάλαιο, και την στρατηγική τους τοποθέτηση. Στηριζόμενοι σε αυτές τις πληροφορίες οι stakeholders, αξιολογούν την εταιρική φήμη. Ο απώτερος σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η αξιολόγηση των παραγόντων που προσδιορίζουν την εταιρική φήμη στο φαρμακευτικό κλάδο, καθώς και ο τρόπος που συσχετίζονται μεταξύ τους. / The market of prescribed medicines functions in a complicated environment that is shaped by powerful governmental pressures, radical changes in the medical care in world level, increasing centralism of market and bigger competition than generic medicines.

The internal factors concerns information and data that companies are emitting, with regards to their financial and accounting record, the existence of institutional investors in their participial capital, and their strategic placement. Based on this information the stakeholders are evaluating the corporate reputation.
