No. of bitstreams: 1 Denise Rocha Belfort Arantes.pdf: 556753 bytes, checksum: 868752fd2ea751a08e75aae92ceb6d05 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-10-17 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / From professional demands, I became interested by deepening the studies of high ability/giftedness and, to the extent that I was discovering more, under the educational focus was questioning me about the relevance of a study on how this phenomenon would impact these people. In the literature, there are studies whose focus is on student, in public policies and in educational programmes for he created, while the emotional aspects and characteristics regarding their affective development have been little explored. This study aims to understand how five people with high ability/giftedness position themselves in the world, through reporting experiences experienced as significant. I use the theoretical reference Marion Milner, to assist in understanding the way how to deal with his creativity and how this impacts on your personalia. Based on the phenomenological method, which allowed to extract the units of meaning present in the interviews conducted, for later psychoanalytic discussion. This survey was conducted in a qualitative vertex, the data were collected through interview, partially open and semi-structured, which led to reports in the form of testimonials, with people with high ability/giftedness, young people and adults. Seven people were interviewed, and for the analysis, after Eidetic reduction, were rewritten and made five. It was concluded that can be hard to be a person with high skills/giftedness, when their host needs are not met. But if she can integrate, through creativity, your interiority, will be facilitated their adaptation to the world by printing it a personal brand, making it habitable / A partir de demandas profissionais, interessei-me pelo aprofundamento dos estudos a respeito das altas habilidades/superdotação e, na medida em que descobria mais a respeito, sob o enfoque educacional, me questionava sobre a relevância de um estudo sobre como esse fenômeno impactaria essas pessoas. Na literatura, há estudos cujo foco está no aluno, nas políticas públicas e nos programas educacionais para ele criados, enquanto que aspectos emocionais e características relativas ao seu desenvolvimento afetivo têm sido pouco explorados. Este estudo pretende compreender a forma como cinco pessoas com altas habilidades/superdotação se posicionam no mundo, por meio do relato de experiências vivenciadas como significativas. Utilizo o referencial teórico de Marion Milner, para auxiliar na compreensão do modo como lidam com sua criatividade e como isto influencia em suas pessoalidades. Baseei-me no método fenomenológico, que permitiu extrair as unidades de significado presentes nas entrevistas realizadas, para posterior discussão psicanalítica. Esta pesquisa foi realizada em vértice qualitativo, os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista, parcialmente aberta e semiestruturada, que levou a relatos em forma de depoimentos, com pessoas com altas habilidades/superdotação, jovens e adultas. Foram entrevistadas sete pessoas e, para a análise, após redução eidética, foram reescritas e apresentadas cinco. Concluiu-se que pode ser difícil ser uma pessoa com altas habilidades/superdotação, quando suas necessidades de acolhimento não são satisfeitas. Mas se ela puder integrar, por meio da criatividade, sua interioridade, será facilitada a sua adaptação ao mundo, imprimindo nele uma marca pessoal, que o torna habitável

Amartya Sen y Martha Nussbaum son dos de los principales teóricos que le dieron origen a la propuesta del desarrollo humano, también entendido como el enfoque de las capacidades y ampliación de libertades. Sus presupuestos filosóficos se han ido acentuando con el tiempo, siendo los más destacados aquellos que hacen referencia a la teoría aristotélica acerca del buen vivir. Desde esta perspectiva, el desarrollo de las capacidades del ser humano tiene por fin último la εὐδαιμονία, entendida como el florecimiento humano o la felicidad. Desde el enfoque, se propone que los individuos tengan acceso a las oportunidades básicas que le permitan tener libertad de elección para optar por el tipo de vida que tiene razones para valorar. En este sentido, la democracia y la deliberación pública cobran un rol fundamental para alcanzar los fines del desarrollo humano, en el marco de la ampliación de la libertad política. El principal objetivo de esta tesis reside, en este sentido, en una ampliación de la línea de investigación del enfoque de desarrollo humano en relación a la democracia y la deliberación pública. Para ello, en el desarrollo de esta investigación también se hará una fundamental referencia a las investigaciones de Iris Marion Young, quien por su parte, realiza una propuesta más inclusiva de la democracia. / Tesis

The author of nine volumes of poetry and numerous other writings, the editor of several literary journals, the recipient of copious awards, including the James Still Award from the Fellowship of Southern Writers, and a longtime teacher and mentor, East Tennessee native Jeff Daniel Marion has come to be known as one of the most significant and beloved voices in Appalachian literature over the past four decades. The twenty-one pieces in this illuminating collection range from examinations of Marion’s poetry to considerations of his teaching career and influence on students, writers, and artists throughout the region and beyond. Acclaimed poet, novelist, and historian Robert Morgan writes about how Marion affected his development as a writer and the key role Marion has played in bringing Appalachian literature into its own. Scholar Randall Wilhelm’s essay, meanwhile, expands our appreciation for Marion not only as a poet but as a visual artist, tracing the connection between his photography and poetic imagery. Also included are essays by John Lang on the ways in which Marion’s poetry “gives voice to a spiritual vision of nature’s sacramental identity,” Gina Herring on how the poet’s father has served as his muse, and George Ella Lyon on the power of story in Marion’s picture book for children, Hello, Crow. Other features include an autobiographical essay by Marion himself, an interview conducted by co-editor Jesse Graves, and a bibliography and timeline that summarize Marion’s life and career. In the book’s introduction, Ernest Lee notes that in the poem “Boundaries,” from his first published collection, the young Marion “dedicated himself to his place, to the land and his heritage . . . welcoming whatever may come with a firm faith that ultimately his life as a poetic laborer will bring him to a true, sharp vision.” The eloquent contributions to this volume reveal just how fully that dedication has paid off. / https://dc.etsu.edu/etsu_books/1020/thumbnail.jpg

Repeated inquiries and statements are made about the number of American Indian students who drop out or are pushed out of school. The Waxes noted that while drop-out rates are difficult to calculate because of a shifting population and absence of centralized, accurate records, current figures indicate that about one-half of those who enter the primary grades drop out before entering high school. Furthermore, only about a third of those entering school actually graduate. A study of Pima and Papago schools revealed much the same trends. Seven percent of the children ages six to eighteen are not enrolled in any school. The researchers estimated a drop-out rate of twenty percent for the teenage group. This was compared to a three and one-half percent drop-out rate for high schools in the surrounding areas. It was also noted that those Indian children who were in school were very likely to be behind their grade placement. The primary purpose of this study is to examine the Chemawa Indian School drop-out rate.

This thesis explores interwar town planning in Australia, focusing on the period of large-scale urban expansion in the 1920’s. It problematises aspects of Australia’s urban planning history, particularly the 1920s ‘garden suburb. It also investigates the question of the use of international planning ideas in Australia, and the assertion or creation of authority by the Australian planning movement. The thesis additionally investigates the use of authoritative planning rhetoric for commercial or creative advantage. The thesis argues that the majority of innovative planning projects in the interwar years took place in the formation and foundation of the garden suburb. It shows that the garden suburb – assumed in much planning history to be an inferior form of Ebenezer Howard’s ‘garden city’ ideal – has, in fact, a number of precedents in 19th century Australian suburbia, some of which were retained in 20th century commercial estate design. Much of the Australian town planner’s authority at this time required recognition and awareness of the interests and needs of the general public, as negotiated through land vendors. As Australians looked to the future, and to the US for guidance, they were invited to invest in speculative real estate development modelled on this vision. The thesis concentrates primarily on the lives, careers and work of the British-Australian architect-planner Sir John Sulman; the Chicagoan architect-planners Marion Mahony and Walter Burley Griffin; and the Australian surveyor-planner Saxil Tuxen. These individuals were among the most prominent planners in Australia in the interwar years. All designed Australian garden suburbs, and combined advocacy with practice in private and public spheres. The thesis examines images and personas, both generic and individual, of the planner and the vendor. It shows that the formulation of the garden suburb and design practices, and the incorporation of international elements into Australian planning, are important in the creation of planning practice and forms. It also outlines the way these continue to have significant impact, in diverse and important ways, on both the contemporary built environment and planning history itself.

<p>Marion Island is situated in the South Indian Ocean and belongs to the sub-Antarctic island group, Prince Edward Islands. The islands in the sub-Antarctic have over the past few decades been exposed to a warmer and drier climate trend. The aim of this thesis is to achieve better understanding of the small-scale spatial and temporal variability between Azorella selago andthe surrounding microclimate. Due to the consequences of climate change, the interactions between Azorella selago, landforms and soil processes are important for the future of the terrestrial ecosystems in the sub-Antarctic. The theory part in this thesis describes different processes and features that are essential to understand the context of this thesis. The energy balance and the insolation is shown to be an important aspect when looking at the spatialvariability of the microclimate. The summary of the results in the thesis is based on temperature and moisture measurements within two grids. One on the east and one on the west side of the island</p><p>The most important result from the measurements is that different weather conditions create different situations for the microclimate. The weather condition ‘sunny no wind’ created a high spatial variability in temperature on the ground, which was completely absent during overcast days. Temperature variability is highly dependent on cloud cover according to these results. Moisture changes also seem to be less weather dependent than temperaturechanges.</p><p>The data provide a first confirmation that an increase in sunshine hours gives increased spatial variability in temperature (not moisture) and soil frost. An increase in spatial variability of the microclimate within small areas could give rise to an expansion in the patchiness of soil frost processes in the landscape. The representivity of single point measurements of ground surface temperature should be questioned.</p><p>Patterns of areas with low moisture content within the grid correlate with points where measurements were taken on Azorella selago. The Azorella cushion could, according to the results of this thesis, be associated with dry areas within the grid. Azorella selago is thereby suggested to increase the spatial variability of moisture and also contribute to a locally drier microclimate. Moisture variability varies more between the east and west side of the island, than that it is weather dependent.</p><p>Shaded areas show a pattern of lower temperature than for the other variables under sunny conditions. If more shaded areas are created by for example landforms like Azorella selago or solifluction deposits, the temperatures would probably be lower and also create a wider spatial variability.</p><p>This study provides first data on the important interactions between Azorella selago and how it affects through spatial variability in micro-climate, ground frost potential and resulting soil disturbance by frost creep and solifluction.</p>

Den här uppsatsens syfte har varit att undersöka hur tre framgångsrika idrottare: brottaren Tomas Johansson, friidrottaren Ludmila Engquist samt friidrottaren Marion Jones, som alla tre dopade sig under sin aktiva karriär, beskrevs i dagstidningarna Aftonbladet och Dagens Nyheter dels då de stod på toppen av sin karriär och dels tiden efter de avslöjades som dopade. Skillnader och likheter i rapporteringen om dessa idrottare har analyserats utifrån perspektiven etnicitet, nationalitet och kön samt om de undersökta texterna bidrar till ett skapande av ett ”vi” och ett ”dom andra”. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten för undersökningen är att olika stereotyper tar sig form i texter och att det finns och används etniska, nationella och könsliga stereotyper för att beskriva idrottare samt att dessa attribut som tillskrivs idrottarna är olika viktiga beroende på situation. Metoden som har använts är en kvalitativ textanalys där ett urval av artiklar från Aftonbladet och Dagens Nyheter har analyserats. Resultatet visar att alla idrottarna blev hyllade när de vann och efter de hade avslöjats som dopade blev de alla fördömda. Deras etnicitet, nationalitet och kön kommer fram i de journalistiska texterna både när de var hyllade och fördömda men används på olika sätt och har olika betydelse beroende på tidpunkt. Den individuella bakgrunden kan vid vinsten lyftas fram som något starkt och positivt för att vid dopningsavslöjandet bli förklaringen till varför denne dopat sig. Materialet visar också att de två kvinnliga idrottarna som är med i undersökningen blir inplacerade i stereotypen om kvinnan som den styrda och mannen som den styrande. Det visas också exempel på att journalisterna i det undersökta materialet aktivt skapar ett ”vi” och ett ”dom andra”. För att beskriva det egna benämner journalisterna de andra.

A questionnaire was administered to fourth grade, seventh grade, and high school students in Marion, Indiana to attempt to determine the following: 1) To what extent will grade levels that appear to be highly superstitious show favorable response to questions concerning their feelings toward the natural environment or nature-related activities? 2) To what extent will grade levels that appear to have little or no belief in superstitions show favorable response to questions concerning their feelings toward the natural environment or nature-related activities? 3) To what extent will the superstitiousness of any particular school grade level(s) differ from the superstitiousness of any other school grade levels used in this study? Results of this research indicate that the fourth grade students surveyed differed significantly from students of the seventh and tenth-twelfth grade levels in both superstitiousness and in their feelings toward the natural environment. Fourth grade students were found to be more superstitious about nature and have more negative feelings toward the natural environment than either of the other experimental groups studied. It was further found that with fourth grade students a negative correlation exists between superstitiousness and feelings toward the natural environment.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306

Denna didaktiskt inriktade C-uppsats i etik tar upp elevers skolmisslyckande satt i förhållande till skolans styrdokument, lärares yrkesetik samt vårt samhälles syn på människors värde. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån Iris Marion Youngs teori kring förtryck samt Harald Ofstads teori kring styrka och svaghet, ur ett etiskt/moraliskt perspektiv, söka efter svar på följande frågeställningar: Kan elever i svensk skola anses vara förtryckta enligt Youngs teori om förtryck? Kan man inom svensk skola finna tendenser till ett sådant förakt för svaghet som Ofstad diskuterar? Vilka bakomliggande strukturella förklaringar kan man utifrån dessa teorier finna till varför vissa lärare i svensk skola medvetet eller omedvetet orsakar vissa elevers känsla av att vara kränkta, misslyckade och osynliggjorda såsom uppsatsens källmaterial påvisar? Metoden består av en etisk analys av kvalitativt empiriskt källmaterial. Källmaterialet, som bygger på delar av en doktorsavhandling i filosofi författad av Carina Henriksson, analyseras med hjälp av analysverktyg skapade utifrån Youngs teori kring förtryck samt Ofstads teori kring styrka och svaghet. Slutsatsen man kan dra utifrån analyserna visar att vissa elever i svensk skola kan anses vara förtryckta samt att man inom svensk skola kan finna tendenser till förakt för svaghet. Analyserna visar även att de bakomliggande strukturella förklaringar man kan finna till detta förtryck samt förakt för svaghet handlar om traditioner som genom historiens gång blivit allmänt vedertagna och därmed normativa, trots att de motsäger de etiska principer vårt samhälle sägs bygga på, principer man kan finna i bland annat skolans värdegrund samt lärares yrkesetiska principer.
