This paper will discuss the making of my thesis film, Past the Darkness. I will describe the entire process including story conception, film production, and post-production stages. I will also evaluate the merits, flaws, and outcome of this project.

Purpose: To determine the characteristics influencing periodontal practices in Virginia and report on the anticipated changes in practice. Methods: A REDCap survey was emailed to Virginia based American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) members assessing personal and practice demographics, trends in dental treatment and practice models, and how periodontists will adjust to account for these trends. Results: The response rate was 31% (n=46). Respondents report greater referrals from more experienced general practitioners (GPs). Student debt was associated with age. Respondents ranked biologic advances, treatment of peri-implantitis, digital dentistry, development of corporate and group practice models, and GPs incorporating more periodontal services in their practices as most likely to impact periodontal practices. The most reported periodontal practice adjustments included expansion of existing services, increasing the number of periodontists in the practice, and joining with other specialists or GPs to create group practices. Conclusions: Periodontists perceive the need to expand services, increase number of providers in their practices or create group practice models as future practice adjustments.

The major objectives of this study are to determine whether or not future needs for water in the Uinta Basin can be satisfied by the present quantity of water produced by the hydrology of the Basin. The specific objectives are as follows: 1. To determine the present demand for water in the Basin. 2. To determine the present annual quantity of water produced by the Basin. 3. To project the changes in the demand for water in the Uinta Basin resulting from energy, agricultural and other development. 4. To project the changes in the quantity of water available to satisfy these increased demands as successive units of water are made available.

Information on the Future Homemakers of America at the national, state, and local level was studied and compiled, such as publications, scrapbooks, personal material, and other records. It was found that the Utah organization of the Future Homemakers of America has followed the nationally outlined program for projects, activities, and meetings. The projects worked on within the state seem to have supported the eight stated purposes of the Future Homemakers. It was shown that Future Home makers representing Utah have attended all of the national meetings for the past twenty-five years. Utah has contributed only five nationa l officers . Student officers have planned and conducted the meetings and conventions of the Future Homemakers of America in Utah.

Este trabalho investiga o futuro subjuntivo em orações relativas restritivas no português brasileiro considerando noções de modo, tempo e aspecto. Partindo de Quer (1998, 2008), assumimos que o modo subjuntivo em orações relativas indica sempre uma leitura não-referencial/atributiva do antecedente e observamos que o futuro do subjuntivo nesse ambiente só é selecionado quando há alguma referência de futuro na matriz, como um verbo no futuro do presente ou um predicado intensional como querer. Para questões temporais, tomamos por base a teoria referencial de tempo de Partee (1993) e o conceito de tempo de tópico de Klein (1994, 2009) e propomos que o futuro do subjuntivo deve ser considerado um tempo referencial não-passado a) relacionado a um tempo de tópico evidente no contexto; b) concomitante ou posterior ao momento de fala; c) também concomitante ou anterior ao tempo da matriz, nunca posterior a ele. Abordamos as classes de aspecto lexical propostas por Vendler (1957) para investigar os contrastes entre presente e futuro do subjuntivo em orações relativas, duas formas subjuntivas que autores como Comrie e Holmback (1984) e Marques (2010) consideram competidoras entre si no sistema verbal do português. Concluímos que o contraste entre eles pode parecer pouco relevante a princípio, em especial em casos de predicados estativos, mas que ele se torna mais claro à medida em que se evidencia o tempo de tópico relacionado ao futuro do subjuntivo. Por último, com fins descritivos, voltamos nossa atenção a noções de aspecto gramatical, partindo da relação entre o tempo de situação e o tempo de tópico também proposta por Klein (1994, 2009) para definir o futuro do subjuntivo como um tempo referencial não-passado em que, em oposição aos tempos pretéritos do português, não há marcação morfológica de aspecto perfectivo ou imperfectivo. / This work investigates the future subjunctive in relative restrictive clauses in Brazilian Portuguese considering notions of mood, tense and aspect. From Quer (1998, 2008) we assume that subjunctive mood in relative clauses indicates a non-referential / attributive reading of the antecedent. We also observe that the future subjunctive in this environment is only selected when there is some future reference in the matrix clause, as a verb in the simple future or an intensional predicate as to want. In discussing temporal features, we take Partee\'s (1993) referential theory of tense and the concept of topic time by Klein (1994, 2009) to propose that the future subjunctive should be considered a non-past referential tense a)related to a topic time highlighted in the context; b)concomitant or subsequent to the speech moment; c)also concomitant or prior to the time of the matrix clause. We approach the aspectual classes proposed by Vendler (1957) to investigate the contrasts between present and future subjunctive in relative clauses, two subjunctive forms that authors like Comrie and Holmback (1984) and Marques (2010) consider to be competitors in the Portuguese verbal system. We conclude that the contrast between them may seen little relevant at first, specially with stative predicates, but it becomes clearer if the topic time related to the future subjunctive is evidenced. At last, for descriptive purposes, we turn our attention to grammatical aspectual notions, considering the relation between the time of the situation and the topic time also proposed by Klein (1994, 2009), to define the future subjunctive as a non-past referential tense in which, in opposition to the past tenses in portuguese, there is no morphological marker of perfective or imperfective aspect.

<p>Tidigare forskning har visat att förmågan att läsa och skriva påverkar både människans kognitiva tänkande och neurologiska strukturer. Likaså innebär oförmågan att läsa och skriva en social press som påverkar vår syn på oss själva. Men hur påverkas vår själv- och framtidssyn av att vi lär oss att läsa och skriva? Detta har undersökts genom intervjuer med 14 kvinnor i Nepal med olika erfarenheter av att läsa och skriva. Resultatet visade huvudsakligen att kvinnorna såg sig själva som mer självständiga och självsäkra, och sin framtid som mer ljus efter att de lärt sig att läsa och skriva. Slutligen har studiens reliabilitet och förslag på fortsatta studier diskuterats.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

<p>Introduction: The world is changing rapidly and the uncertainty that characterizes today´s society makes companies preparations for the future crucial. </p><p>Purpose: To examine how CEO:s in small companies look at the future and what kind of preparations they make in order to meet it. Hereby, our ambition is to find out whether there is a difference between companies working in industries characterized by different degrees of stability. </p><p>Mode of procedure: The purpose of this thesis has been fulfilled by interviews with four CEO:s from industries characterized by different degrees of stability. </p><p>Result: The companies working in relatively unstable environments tended to be relatively more flexible and have an emergent strategy formation process, whereas companies working in relatively stable environments displayed relatively less flexibility and tended to have a planning strategy formation process.</p>
