Stories from the homefront : digital storytelling with National Guard youthGreene, Megan Marie 23 October 2014 (has links)
Since the beginning of the Global War on Terrorism in 2001, the United States has relied heavily on volunteer National Guard troops to protect our country. Thousands of youth have been affected by deployment, yet we rarely hear their stories. This thesis explores how digital storytelling, as an applied theatre practice, can help increase youth visibility and voice in the Army National Guard community. Through qualitative research methods of narrative thematic analysis and thematic coding methods, the author examines how digital storytelling can be used to build community among Army National Guard youth, as well as provide an agentive space for youth to name their experiences and perspectives while self-advocating for their needs and desires. Their digital stories became a site for youth to play with the complexity of naming their experiences, as well as a way to increase their visibility within military spaces. The document concludes with a discussion of how digital storytelling and applied theatre functions within National Guard youth communities, the limitations of the research and model, as well as a discussion of sustainability for applied theatre programs in this community. / text

Implications of parental deployment for Army National Guard and Army Reserve families: practitioners’ role in supporting adolescentsRichmond, Chelsea Lee January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Family Studies and Human Services / Bronwyn Fees / Since the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, a large number of service members have deployed multiple times to active combat zones as a result of U.S. involvement in the global war on terrorism. Army National Guard and Army Reserve families may find these deployments challenging as they are often isolated by living in civilian communities and have limited access to military support services and networks. Adolescents who live in these families may be particularly vulnerable as the stressors of parental deployment are layered on top of the normative stressors of adolescent development. This report will examine the challenges that adolescents and their families experience as a result of parental deployment. Additionally, protective factors that can help mitigate those challenges will also be discussed. Finally, Bronfenbrenner’s bioecological theory will be used as a framework to identify ways in which parents, schools, communities, and the U.S. Army can support adolescents, thus helping them to positively cope with parental deployment.

Success factors in information technology projectsSehele, Abdulallah A. A. January 2015 (has links)
Concern for project failures and successes have posed a controversial and much debated topic amongst scholars and practitioners alike. IT projects are no exceptions and they too suffer from a high rate of failure. This research aims to explore the reasons why certain IT projects succeed). Besides its academic importance, the research intends to assess the implications for successful implementation of current and future IT projects. The review of the extant literature reveals the enormity of the challenges involved in minimising or avoiding project failures. Present work is contextualizing these issues in a large national organisation with branches throughout the KSA. The Saudi Arabia constitutes the case study for this research. Qualitative methodology was adopted to generate and collect adequate and relevant data. Main instruments were; Semi-structured interviews involving senior managers in five geographical areas who were involved in the management of the IT projects and selected project documents. Thematic analysis was used and led to emergence of seven main ‘themes’, 19 major ‘issues’, and the construction of the first time generic model for success of IT projects. The core issues identified in the model are: Quality, Time and Cost at three levels; individual, organisation and environment with specific order of importance. The implications of the findings for the theory and practice have been identified. It is also recommended that there is a need for further research into individual and contextual factors that influence both managers as well as the circumstances under which IT projects are implemented.

Physical Fitness in Army National Guard Soldiers and Its Relationship on Utilization of Medical Resources During CombatJanuary 2011 (has links)
abstract: The effects of a long-term combat deployment on a soldier's physical fitness are not well understood. In active duty soldiers, combat deployment reduced physical fitness compared to pre-deployment status, but no similar research has been performed on Army National Guard soldiers. This study is the first to identify physical fitness changes in Arizona National Guard (AZNG) soldiers following deployment to a combat zone and to assess the relationships between physical fitness and non-combat injuries and illness (NCII). Sixty soldiers from the Arizona National Guard (AZNG) completed a battery of physical fitness tests prior to deployment and within 1-7 days of returning from a 12-month deployment to Iraq. Pre and post-deployment measures assessed body composition (Bod Pod), muscular strength (1RM bench press, back-squat), muscular endurance (push-up, sit-up), power (Wingate cycle test), cardiorespiratory fitness (treadmill run to VO2 peak), and flexibility (sit-and-reach, trunk extension, shoulder elevation). Post deployment, medical records were reviewed by a blinded researcher and inventoried for NCII that occurred during deployment. Data were analyzed for changes between pre and post-deployment physical fitness. Relationships between fitness and utilization of medical resources for NCII were then determined. Significant declines were noted in mean cardiorespiratory fitness (-10.8%) and trunk flexibility (-6.7%). Significant improvements were seen in mean level of fat mass (-11.1%), relative strength (bench press, 10.2%, back-squat 14.2%) and muscular endurance (push-up 16.4%, sit-up 11.0%). Significant (p < 0.05) negative correlations were detected between percentage change in fat mass and gastrointestinal visits (r = -0.37); sit-and-reach and lower extremity visits (r= -0.33); shoulder elevation and upper extremity visits (r= -0.36); and cardiorespiratory fitness and back visits (r= -0.31); as well as behavioral health visits (r= -0.28). Cardiorespiratory fitness changes were grouped into tertiles. Those who lost the greatest fitness had significantly greater number of NCII visits (8.0 v 3.1 v 2.6, p = .03). These data indicate a relationship between the decline in cardiorespiratory fitness and an overall increase in utilization of medical resources. The results may provide incentive to military leaders to ensure that soldiers maintain their cardiorespiratory fitness throughout the extent of their deployment. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Exercise and Wellness 2011

Previous issue date: 2016 / This study will examine the implications of the formation process of the National Guard and the consequent extinction of Militias and Ordinances. These last two forces had been created during the colonial period. Both colonies forces and the National Guard had in common the characteristic of being non-professional forces, or militia. However, the two colonial forces were organized from characteristic elements of the ancien regime societies, while the National Guard was organized by the values of the modern conception of citizenship adopted by the National States.

Estas duas últimas forças haviam sido criadas durante o período colonial. Tanto as forças colônias quanto a Guarda Nacional tinham em comum a característica de serem forças não profissionais, ou seja, milícias. Contudo, as duas forças coloniais estavam organizadas a partir de elementos característicos das sociedades de Antigo Regime, enquanto a Guarda Nacional organizava-se pelos valores da moderna concepção de cidadania adotada pelos Estados Nacionais. Este estudo se estrutura da seguinte maneira: primeiramente lugar busca-se compreender quais eram as principais características das milícias e quais os motivos para os Estados adotarem esse tipo de força; em segundo lugar iremos analisar quais foram as razões que motivaram o Império do Brasil a extinguir as milícias coloniais e criar no lugar destas a Guarda Nacional; por fim buscaremos analisar o processo de organização da Guarda Nacional na província do Ceará durante a década de 1830.

Previous issue date: 2013-03-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / This study is linked to the online research Regional History, the Graduate Program in History Federal University of Paraíba, with a major in History and Historical Culture, and aims to examine the creation and operation of the National Guard in the province of Paraiba (1831-1850). The creation of the National Guard, on August 18, 1831, was one among the various measures undertaken by the government regent, to ensure the unity of the national Brazilian state. This institution should be composed of those who were considered citizens of the Empire of Brazil, so they were prescribed in the Constitution of 1824. Therefore, besides investigating the creation of this institution in the province of Paraiba, we present the procedures involving its organization and functioning, as well as legal profiles / Ethnic some characters that composed their ranks. We will also provide a brief discussion of citizenship in the nineteenth century, shedding light on how this citizenship was experienced by militiamen in the province because, to them, fell the privilege of being part of the militia. We will review the daily actions of the missionaries of the order and attempts to find some guards to escape the ordinary service of the Guard - which, contrary to what had just tried the Act creating the National Guard from 1831: the "patriotism" of his militia. And when it comes to positions of command in the militia, will discuss the importance of this position gave the chosen, and over the years has become highly political. / O presente estudo está vinculado à linha de pesquisa História Regional, do Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, da Universidade Federal da Paraíba, com área de concentração em História e Cultura Histórica, e tem por objetivo analisar a criação e atuação da Guarda nacional na província da Paraíba (1831-1850). A criação da Guarda Nacional, em 18 de agosto de 1831, foi uma dentre as várias medidas empreendidas pelo governo regencial, para assegurar a unidade do Estado nacional brasileiro. Essa instituição deveria ser composta por aqueles que fossem considerados cidadãos do Império do Brasil, portanto, que estivessem prescritos na Constituição de 1824. Portanto, além de investigar a criação dessa instituição na província da Paraíba, apresentamos os trâmites que envolveram a sua organização e funcionamento, bem como os perfis jurídico/étnico de alguns personagens que compuseram suas fileiras. Fizemos também uma breve discussão sobre Cidadania no século XIX, lançando luz sobre como essa cidadania foi vivenciada pelos milicianos na província, já que, a eles, coube o privilégio de fazer parte da milícia. Analisamos as ações cotidianas dos missionários da ordem e as tentativas que alguns guardas encontraram para escaparem do serviço ordinário da Guarda - o que, acabava contrariando aquilo que pretendia a Lei de criação da Guarda Nacional de 1831: o patriotismo de seus milicianos. E no que tange aos postos de comando na milícia, discutimos a importância que este cargo conferiu aos escolhidos, e que, com os anos se tornou eminentemente político.
