Since the Post-9/11 GI Bill an increasing number of veterans and military students are seeking to complete degrees online and through enrollment at campuses across the nation (Brown 2011). The increased number of military students in postsecondary education settings presents challenges and opportunities for both the veteran student and institution of higher education. Military students also referred to as veteran students are choosing to pursue postsecondary education for occupational and employment opportunities, personal growth and enrichment, and to use their Post-9/11 GI education benefits. It is expected that military personnel with past military service in Afghanistan and Iraq will become a growing student population enrolled in U.S postsecondary education. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the experiences and expectations of an African American male veteran student at an institution of higher education. This qualitative research study included an in-depth interview with an African American male veteran student. Through interviewing the participant, I listened to the experiences and expectations from an African American male veteran student from Iraq War who attended a state assisted predominantly Caucasian university. The collection and analysis of his stories gave me an understanding of his diverse needs, experiences, and expectations.

This study is an examination of the theatre project at Tsa La Gi, a Cherokee cultural center in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. The thesis is organized into three areas: the drama, the theatre design, and the production techniques. Chapter I reports the process of the formulation of Trail of Tears and analyzes its success. Chapter II describes and interprets the process of the design of the physical theatre. Chapter III reports the techniques used in play production at Tsa La Gi and interprets their effects. Chapter IV presents conclusions about the success of the theatre project. This report accepts evidence that the theatre project at Tsa La Gi is a highly successful one, both economically and artistically.

Introdução: O atendimento interlinguístico e intercultural de pacientes surdos nos contextos de saúde é tema pouco explorado pela literatura. A inserção de TILS-GI é um importante meio de viabilizá-lo, conforme previsto em lei. Objetivos: Identificar a atuação de TILS-GI em serviços de saúde, na mediação entre equipes falantes de português e pacientes surdos usuários de libras. Conhecer a percepção de TILS-GI sobre aspectos éticos relacionados à comunicação, autonomia e privacidade de pacientes surdos, tomados aqui como princípios éticos em saúde, conceitos teóricos e eixos de análise. Metodologia: Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, empírica, descritiva e de caráter exploratório baseada na análise dos eixos comunicação, autonomia e privacidade. Foram entrevistados 30 TILS-GI atuantes nas regiões metropolitanas de São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. A análise dos resultados utilizou-se de depoimentos individuais a partir de situações vivenciadas ou hipotéticas. Resultados: Os TILS-GI entrevistados eram ad hoc. Não foram localizados profissionais empregados na saúde. A atuação deles na área foi pontual, esporádica, voluntária, informal e em situações de gravidade de saúde, temas sigilosos ou na falta de familiares acompanhantes. Ao que concerne ao eixo comunicação, os desafios da interpretação relacionam-se à falta de formação específica na área (jargão, desafios intermodais e interculturais), a não saberem lidar com questões de escopo da saúde e pela proximidade pessoal de muitos profissionais com os surdos. No eixo autonomia, foram identificados graus de participação do paciente dependente, em muito, da postura dos TILS-GI e das equipes de saúde. No eixo privacidade, a privacidade de informações teve respostas homogêneas do grupo, que defendeu que o legítimo informante quando outros desejam saber informações junto aos TILS-GI sobre o paciente surdo é o próprio, algo referenciado no código deontológico da categoria. Em contrapartida, a variedade de respostas sobre privacidade física revelou menores amadurecimento e consenso entre eles. Conclusão: Os TILS-GIs nomeiam problemas éticos na sua prática em saúde e com os surdos passam por tarefas múltiplas que extrapolam a mediação linguística e por sofrimentos diversos, alguns evitáveis. São figuras essenciais por viabilizarem os direitos desta população. Sua potencial parceria com os envolvidos, contudo, exigiria um processo mais ativo de reflexão e troca entre eles. / Introduction: The intercultural and interlinguistic service to deaf patients in the health contexts is an overlooked topic by specialized literature. The insertion of the TILS-GI (Portuguese abbreviation for Translator Interpreter of Brazilian Sign Language and Interpreter-Guide) is an important means to enable such service as provided by law. Objectives: Identifying the performance of TILS-GI in health services in the mediation of Portuguese-speaking teams and deaf patients, users of Brazilian sign language. Bringing to light the perception of TILS-GI about ethical aspects related to the communication, autonomy and privacy of deaf patients, understood herein as heath ethical principles, theoretical concepts and guiding analytical themes. Methodology: This is a qualitative, empirical descriptive research, of exploratory character based on the themes of communication, autonomy and privacy. Thirty TILS-GI who work in the Greater São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro areas were interviewed. The instrument of sampling consisted of three parts. The result analyses used the individual testimonials based on hypothetical or lived experiences. Results: the TILS-GIs interviewed were ad hoc. No professional employed by the health department was located. Their performances in the area were eventual, sparse, volunteer, informal and sometimes in high risk situations, dealing with confidential topics and when in lack of family members. In the terms of the communication axis, the challenges of interpretation are related to the lack of specific training and formal education in the area (jargon, intermodal and intercultural challenges), to the inability to cope with health-related issues and to the personal close relation of the professionals with the deaf patients. In the autonomy axis, we identified several degrees of participation of the patient, which heavily depends on the stance of the TILS-GI and the health teams. In the privacy axis, the information privacy was referred to homogenously by the group, which defended that the legitimate informant about the deaf patients processes was the TILS-GI themselves, according to the ethical code of the category. On the other hand, the variety of responses about the physical privacy was revealing of the lesser maturity and consensus among them. Conclusion: The TILS-GI have named ethical problems in their practice in the health area and how deaf people undergo multiple situations that extrapolate the linguistic mediation and unnecessary suffering. They are essential characters in the sense of enabling the rights of this populations. Their potential partnership with 9 all the participants of the interaction, however, would demand a more active process of reflection and exchange.

From studies of the circadian clock in the plant model species Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), a number of important properties and components have emerged. These include the genes CIRCADIAN CLOCK ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1), GIGANTEA (GI), ZEITLUPE (ZTL) and TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION 1 (TOC1 also known as PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR 1 (PRR1)) that via gene expression feedback loops participate in the circadian clock. Here, we present results from ectopic expression of four Norway spruce (Picea abies) putative homologs (PaCCA1, PaGI, PaZTL and PaPRR1) in Arabidopsis, their flowering time, circadian period length, red light response phenotypes and their effect on endogenous clock genes were assessed. For PaCCA1-ox and PaZTL-ox the results were consistent with Arabidopsis lines overexpressing the corresponding Arabidopsis genes. For PaGI consistent results were obtained when expressed in the gi2 mutant, while PaGI and PaPRR1 expressed in wild type did not display the expected phenotypes. These results suggest that protein function of PaCCA1, PaGI and PaZTL are at least partlyconserved compared to Arabidopsis homologs, however further studies are needed to reveal the protein function of PaPRR1. Our data suggest that components of thethree-loop network typical of the circadian clock in angiosperms were present beforethe split of gymnosperms and angiosperms.

Biosphärenreservate bilden Modelllandschaften, in denen überprüft werden soll, mit welchen Methoden und Mitteln nachhaltige Entwicklung möglich sein kann. Neben dem Schutz, der Pflege und der Entwicklung der geschützten Kulturlandschaften sind gleichrangig sogenannte logistische Funktionen wesentlicher Bestandteil der Aufgaben eines Biosphärenreservates. Innerhalb dieser Funktionen bilden die Umweltbildung und das Umweltmonitoring eine zentrale Rolle. Die Aufgabe dieser Arbeit bestand darin festzustellen, inwieweit der Einsatz von GI-Technologien in der Umweltbildung möglich ist. Dazu wurden Analysen auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen durchgeführt. Der Einsatz solcher Technologien setzt die Bereitschaft der verantwortlichen Mitarbeiter in den einzelnen Biosphärenreservaten voraus. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, dass eine solche Bereitschaft grundsätzlich vorhanden ist. Die dafür notwendigen und derzeit häufig noch einschränkenden Randbedingungen wurden erörtert. Neben den Biosphärenreservaten, die als Anbieter von Bildungsmaßnahmen in Schulen verstanden werden können, ist ebenfalls ein Blick auf die Schulen selbst und die dort tätigen LehrerInnen notwendig, um auch deren Bereitschaft zur Nutzung von GI-Technologien zu analysieren. In diesem Schnittbereich zwischen dem Angebot externer Anbieter von Umweltbildung und der Nachfrage – im Sinne der Bereitschaft an den Schulen, solche Angebote auch zuzulassen – besteht die Möglichkeit des Einsatzes von GI-Technologien. Das Ziel dieses Einsatzes liegt dabei vordergründig nicht in der neuen, interessanteren Ausgestaltung des Unterrichtes. Die Nutzung von GI-Technologien muss sich an den zu vermittelnden Kompetenzen orientieren. Welche Rolle Kompetenzen in diesem Zusammenhang spielen, wird in der Arbeit ausführlich dargestellt. Es werden die Ergebnisse der Analyse der drei Elemente: • Umweltbildung / Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung • Geoinformationen / GI-Technologien • Biosphärenreservate vorgestellt und miteinander in Beziehung gesetzt. Daraus leiten sich sowohl Zielstellungen als auch notwendige Maßnahmen ab. Als Schritt zur Umsetzung der erarbeiteten Vorschläge wurde in den Jahren 2008 bis 2010 an zwei Mittelschulen das Konzept „Umweltmonitoring an Schulen – Kulturlandschaftsentwicklung in Biosphärenreservaten“ realisiert. Dabei stand nicht nur im Vordergrund, die Nutzung von GI-Technologien in den Unterricht von Schulen zu bringen und damit SchülerInnen aktiv an Forschungsarbeit teilhaben zu lassen, es war auch die Aufgabe, diese Bildungsmaßnahmen einer empirischen Forschung zuzuführen. Damit ist es das zentrale Anliegen dieser Initiierungsphase, Forschungsarbeit zum Bildungsgegenstand zu machen und gleichzeitig diese Bildungsarbeit zum Forschungsgegenstand werden zu lassen.

Esse destaque ? oriundo da percep??o da informa??o como recurso estrat?gico que resultou em mudan?as significativas no comportamento informacional dos colaboradores e nas estruturas das organiza??es. Outros fatores contribuem para o uso da GI nas universidades, sobretudo quando se observa o crescimento e expans?o das institui??es de ensino superior federais, principalmente em decorr?ncia da implanta??o do Plano de Reestrutura??o e Expans?o das Universidades Federais (REUNI), o que resultou em impactos significativos em suas demandas, principalmente no gerenciamento de atividades administrativas e da sobrecarga de informa??es. Tais demandas exigem que as universidades utilizem ferramentas que melhor gerenciem a busca, a sele??o, o tratamento, o armazenamento, o compartilhamento e o uso das informa??es, evidenciando pr?ticas da gest?o da informa??o com maior relev?ncia. A situa??o-problema identificada na Pr?-Reitoria de Gradua??o da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (PROGRAD/UFRN) foi como otimizar a gest?o da informa??o do processo de cadastramento de ingressantes na unidade fazendo o uso da ferramenta eletr?nica dispon?vel? Este estudo justifica-se pela import?ncia que a PROGRAD/UFRN tem para a institui??o, em termos de n?mero de usu?rios de seus servi?os, volume de processos, atividades e documentos circulando em seu interior. Assim, objetiva-se, de modo geral, propor a otimiza??o da gest?o da informa??o de um processo estrat?gico da PROGRAD/UFRN. Especificamente objetiva-se: a) identificar pesquisas sobre modelos de GI aplicados em outras IES; b) caracterizar a gest?o da informa??o na PROGRAD/UFRN, com base na abordagem ecol?gica da informa??o; c) mapear um processo estrat?gico existente na PROGRAD/UFRN com o prop?sito de otimiz?-lo. Para alcan?ar tais objetivos desenvolveu-se um estudo de car?ter qualitativo, de natureza aplicada, descritiva, tendo como estrat?gia de pesquisa, a pesquisa-a??o. A pesquisa foi dividida em quatro etapas: diagn?stico da situa??o-problema, planejamento do estudo, interven??o e avalia??o. Para obten??o de dados foram realizadas pesquisa bibliogr?fica, an?lise documental, aplicados question?rios estruturados, realizadas entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas, organizados grupos focais e realizada observa??o participante. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a PROGRAD/UFRN vem empregando parcialmente os princ?pios da Ecologia da Informa??o em rela??o aos ambientes externo, organizacional e informacional, portanto a gest?o da informa??o ainda n?o ? integrada. Para otimizar a gest?o da informa??o na unidade se faz necess?rio que as pessoas, sejam melhor consideradas quanto ? produ??o, ao uso e ao compartilhamento das informa??es. A proposta de interven??o foi constru?da de forma colaborativa, implementada e avaliada, que subsidiou uma proposi??o mais consistente e ampla para a sua aplica??o. Entende-se que o aprimoramento do processo estrat?gico de cadastramento de discentes ingressantes na institui??o, fazendo uso da funcionalidade dispon?vel no sistema acad?mico ainda perpassa por alguns ?bices. Por fim, recomenda-se outros estudos que possam dar continuidade ?s pesquisas de ferramentas que possibilitem que a gest?o da informa??o em organiza??es p?blicas, como na UFRN, torne-se um recurso estrat?gico para o alcance pleno da sua miss?o e de seus objetivos. / Information management (IM) has a prominent role in all types of organizations, including the higher education institutions. This highlighted role is derived from the perception of information as a strategical resource that resulted in significant changes in the informational behavior of the associates and in the structures of the organizations. Other factors contribute to the use of IM in universities, mainly when it is observed the growth and expansion of federal higher education institutions, especially due to the employment of the Plan of Restructuring and Expansion of Federal Universities (REUNI), that resulted in significant impacts on their demands, mostly in the management of the administrative activities and the overload of information. Such demands require that universities use tools that better manage searching, selecting, processing, storing, sharing and using information, highlighting practices of information management with more relevance. The problem?s context identified in the Undergraduate Program?s Office of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (PROGRAD/UFRN) was to optimize the information management in the process of registering the incoming students utilizing the available electronic tool? This study is justified for the importance that PROGRAD/UFRN has in the institution when it comes to the number of users of its services, volume of processes, activities and documents processing through. Thus, the objective is to propose the optimization in the information management of a strategical process of PROGRAD/UFRN. The specific objectives are: a) identify research on models of IM applied to other HEI; b) characterizing the information management of PROGRAD/UFRN, with basis on the information ecological approach; c) mapping an existing strategical process in PROGRAD/UFRN with the purpose to optimize it. To fulfill such objectives a qualitative, descriptive and applied study was developed, having the research-action as a strategy. The study was divided in four phases: diagnosing the problem?s context, planning the study, intervention and evaluation. To acquire the data, it was conducted a literature review, documental analysis, structured surveys applied, semi-structured interviews, focal groups organized and performed the participant observation. The results obtained indicate that PROGRA/UFRN has been employing partially the principals of Information Ecology regarding the external environments, organizational and informational, thus the information management is not integrated yet. To optimize the information management in this institution it is necessary that the people are taken into account when it comes to productivity, the use and sharing of information. The intervention proposal was built in a collaborative, implemented and evaluated manner that subsidized a more consistent and broad proposition for its use. It is understood that the enhancement of the strategical process of registering incoming students in the institution, utilizing the available functionality in the academic system still faces some obstacles. Finally, it is recommended that other studies are continued for the research of tools that make it possible the information management in public organizations, such as UFRN, become a strategical resource to reach its complete mission and objectives.

I contend that young students should be introduced to intercultural contemporary music, as this exposure brings benefits to their artistic development and fosters appreciation of other cultures. Variations sur un thème populaire coréen by Sung-Ki Kim (b. 1954) and Six Pieces for Piano ‘Nori' by Chung-Sock Kim (b. 1940) are effective pedagogical works that fit perfectly into the intercultural mold mentioned above, and both are suitable for late intermediate or early advanced level students. A detailed comparison of these two works can help instructors understand the ways by which these composers incorporate Korean folk materials and blend them with Western contemporary techniques. An analysis of Sung-Ki Kim's Variations sur un theme populaire coréen and Chung-Sock Kim's Six Pieces for Piano ‘Nori' can be divided into three categories: harmony, rhythm, and performance-related aspects. By analyzing these two pieces, these study illustrates in greater depth their intercultural aspects, showing the way by which both composers merged traditional Korean folk idioms through the inclusion of traditional Korean rhythms, and the imitation of sounds of several traditional Korean instruments with Western contemporary technique such as non-traditional sounds and use of sostenuto pedal. Finally, this study provides some practicing suggestions and listing exercise on how to practice musical and technical challenges.
