Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / In Childhood and Society (1950), Erikson suggested that societies provide mechanisms which permit the maturational development of their constituent members. Passage through each life stage is facilitated by the adoption of these socially-provided processes, which allow one to deal with the major problems of that stage. In Erikson's developmental schema, the principal problem of adolescence is identity-formation [TRUNCATED].

A pesquisa investigou a produção de sentidos de identidade brasileira construídos no cotidiano dos brasileiros residentes no Japão com base na análise dos discursos por eles produzidos sobre os temas abordados na telenovela Amor à Vida. O quadro teórico baseouse nos Estudos Culturais (Hall, 2006, 2009, 2012; Bhabha, 1998), na abordagem das Mediações (Martín-Barbero, 2008) e no estudo dos discursos com base nos estudos de linguagem de Bakhtin (2003, 2010). Tratou-se de uma pesquisa de recepção de enfoque qualitativo que adotou como técnica a observação participante. Na pesquisa de campo, foram observadas etnograficamente imigrantes brasileiros no Japão em sua rotina de assistir às telenovelas brasileiras exibidas pelo canal Globo internacional. Com base na análise dos discursos produzidos pelos sujeitos da pesquisa, investigou-se como a telenovela produz sentidos identitários de brasilidade para os brasileiros emigrados que moram em situação, muitas vezes, de não pertencimento social. Analisou-se de que forma os valores, tensões e pautas apresentados na/pela telenovela brasileira constituem-se como influência nas zonas de enfrentamentos e negociações no cotidiano dos sujeitos da pesquisa. A pesquisa demonstrou a centralidade da telenovela como elemento de construção identitária que funciona tanto em nível pessoal quanto em nível de nacionalidade. Os discursos analisados deixam entrever que o fato de os sujeitos da pesquisa viverem há tanto tempo no Japão faz com que eles não apenas se lembrem e se recordem do Brasil através da telenovela, mas também reconheçam nela elementos que os identificam por meio da comparação e da reflexão como brasileiros frente à cultura japonesa na qual estão imersos. Nesse sentido, a análise realizada desvelou que os brasileiros que assistem à telenovela no Japão manifestam em seus discursos sentidos e valores que foram construídos com base em sua matriz cultural brasileira. Porém, tais sentidos e valores são sistematicamente reconfigurados pela situação em que se encontram, divididos entre dois lugares, o de nascimento e o de moradia, entre o Ocidente e o Oriente. / The research investigated the production of senses of Brazilian identity constructed in the daily life of Brazilians living in Japan based on the analysis of the discourse produced for they about the topics covered in the telenovela Amor à Vida. The theory is based on Cultural Studies (Hall, 2006, 2009, 2012; Bhabha, 1998), Mediation approach (Martín- Barbero, 2008) and the analysis of discourse based on the language studies of Bakhtin (2003, 2010). This was a survey of reception of qualitative approach which adopted the technique the participant observation.It was reception research of qualitative approach that used participant observation as method. In the field research Brazilian immigrants living in Japan were observed during their routine of watching Brazilian telenovelas from Globo International television channel. Based on the analysis of discourses from the participants, how the telenovela creates Brazilian identity sense in emigrated Brazilians living in a, most of the time, not belonging situation was investigated. How values, tensions and other topics were presented in the Brazilian telenovela influences in conflicts and daily life of participants was analyzed. The research showed the centrality of the telenovela as an element of identity construction that works both on a personal level as on a national level. The analysis of the discourse showed that the participants are living such a long time in Japan that they not only remember Brazil through the telenovela, but also recognize elements of self identification through comparisons and reflection as Brazilians dealing with the Japanese culture, in which they are immersed. In this sense, the analysis unveiled that Brazilians who watch telenovelas in Japan showed in their discourse meanings and values that were made based in their Brazilian cultural matrix. However, these meanings and values are systematically reconfigured by the situation in which they are living, divided between two places, of birth and of living, West and East.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the stability of a generic lansoprazole product in a 3 mg/mL sodium bicarbonate suspension under room temperature and refrigerated conditions. METHODS Lansoprazole suspensions (3 mg/mL) were prepared in triplicate using an 8.4% sodium bicarbonate vehicle for each storage condition (room temperature and refrigerated). During 1 month, samples from each replicate were periodically removed and analyzed for lansoprazole concentration by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Each sample was spiked with 10 mg/L omeprazole to serve as the internal standard. A positive electrospray LC-MS/MS method was validated over the calibration range of 5 to 25 mg/L using Food and Drug Administration Guidance. The identities of the analyte and internal standard in the samples were verified by monitoring the MS/MS transitions of m/z 370 to m/z 252 and m/z 346 to m/z 198 for lansoprazole and omeprazole, respectively. Additionally, the pH of the suspensions was monitored throughout the study. RESULTS The stability of lansoprazole in the oral sodium bicarbonate suspension under refrigeration is compromised prior to what has been previously reported in the literature. Samples kept at room temperature lost >10% of the lansoprazole after 48 hours compared with the refrigerated samples, which maintained integrity up to 7 days. No statistically significant difference was found between the pH of the room temperature and refrigerated suspension samples, indicating that this factor is not the cause for the differences in stability at these two conditions. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the extemporaneously compounded lansoprazole oral suspension prepared in 8.4% sodium bicarbonate should not be stored in plastic oral syringes longer than 48 hours at room temperature and no longer than 7 days when refrigerated. These data indicate an expiration time earlier than that previously reported for the refrigerated product (14 days).

This study offers the reader an opportunity to glimpse the world and narrative of a gay man recently come out of the closet and to be invited to participate in his search for improved understanding of his sense of identity. It is a study of autobiographical works in order to gain insight into the changes occurring in the author’s sense of identity but is also in itself an autobiographical work. It is a reflection on the author’s story and an interpretation of aspects of that story, using selected documents written by him over a period of time, in order to highlight specific changes that occur in his sense of identity. The aim of this study is to generate some insight into the sense of identity of a gay man, and optimistically other marginalised groups of people, with specific focus on the changes that have occurred over. This study will be approached from a social constructionist paradigm using qualitative and interpretative methods to analyse the various autobiographical works. This will provide information on the changes that occur over time in a gay man’s sense of identity. / Dissertation (MA (Counselling Psychology))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Psychology / MA / unrestricted

Heather Metcalfe Doctoral Abstract, Ph.D. program, 2009 Department of History, University of Toronto “It’s All About War: Canadian Opinion and the Canadian Approach to International Relations, 1935-1939.” Canadians in the 1930s did not appear eager to focus on foreign affairs. The social and economic difficulties caused by the dislocation of the Great Depression meant that international developments often seemed remote and irrelevant. However, despite this focus on domestic issues, many Canadians were concerned with the trend of international events. As a result, the debate regarding the appropriate Canadian response remained an ongoing, if underlying, factor. In addition, the political issues raised by Canadian foreign policy, particularly through the Canadian involvement in the British Commonwealth and the League of Nations, meant the issue could not simply be ignored. During the later part of the decade, as the possibility of international conflict became ever more likely, increasing numbers of Canadians turned their attention to Canada’s international role. They also turned their attention to what this debate meant in terms of the Canadian sense of identity. These individuals were concerned as well with the response of Canadian public opinion to involvement overseas. This question, of the nature and susceptibility of Canadian public opinion to attempts to direct it, remains an intriguing one. The nature of this response remained open to question, and was the subject of significant debate among Canadian intellectuals, politicians and public figures. In response, a number of individuals and groups, including members of the Canadian press, attempted to influence Canadian public opinion. Many also pressured the Canadian government, led by William Lyon Mackenzie King’s administration, to play a more active role in shaping public opinion. Canadian intellectuals, for instance, influenced by contemporary writings on public opinion, seemed convinced of their natural role as ‘shapers’ of public opinion, particularly in a time of domestic and international crisis. These assumptions, and the ways in which Canadian public opinion both responded to, and rejected these attempts at direction, provide an interesting window into the question of public opinion, particularly in regards to international events. The debate regarding the Canadian response to the crises of the late 1930s can thus aid in gaining a greater appreciation of how public opinion shifts in response to outside challenges and the attempts to influence its course.

Sur la scène de l’insertion se réactiveraient et se déploieraient les souffrances d’exclusion de certains jeunes, « souffrances narcissiques et identitaires » (R. Roussillon) qui révéleraient un « collapsus topique » (C. Janin) entre les « espaces du lien inter et trans-subjectif et l’espace intra-psychique » (R. Kaës).Le clinicien est alors invité à proposer des dispositifs cliniques susceptibles de libérer la scène de l’insertion des effets mortifères de la répétition traumatique.A partir d’un travail clinique de 20 ans au sein des Missions Locales pour l’insertion des jeunes, qui accueillent tous les ans plus de 1.2 millions de jeunes en France, l’auteur propose la mise en place de dispositifs orioplastiques au sein de ces institutions. Il emprunte à la plasticienne A.Stella la notion d’ « orioplastie », qui associe le grec orio (limite) et plastie, du grec ancien plassein (façonner, mouler), aux origines d’une qualité, la plasticité, la malléabilité. Il étudie trois dispositifs étroitement articulés, un dispositif individuel et deux groupaux et tend à dégager à la fois leurs caractéristiques, en matière d’espace et de temps, qui leur conféreraient une qualité de « medium malléable » (R. Roussillon, M. Milner) et les processus qu’ils permettraient de déployer en matière de « double travail psychique de liaison » (C. Vacheret), en référence à la « double limite » d’ A. Green.Il ouvre ainsi la question d’une éventuelle nouvelle étape de la psychiatrie publique, qui consisterait à se déployer dans les institutions du social et de l’insertion, afin de contribuer à une meilleure prise en compte des questions de la précarité et de l’exclusion, et pose les questions des conditions d’exercice et des limites de ce travail. / The social and professional integration process appears to reactivate exclusion related psychological troubles, defined as the « narcissistic disturbances of the sense of identity » (R. Roussillon) revealing a « topical collapse » (C. Janin) between the « the inter- and trans-subjective and the intra-psychic spaces » (R. Kaës). The role of the clinical psychologist is to propose clinical settings capable of ridding this process of the negative effects of traumatic repetition.The author, based on 20 years of clinical experience in Missions Locales, social structures for reintegration which welcome more than 1.2 million young people in France every year, proposes the deployment in these institutions of orioplastic settings. The notion of « orioplasty » is borrowed from the artist A.Stella who derives the terms from the Greek words orio (limit) and plassein (to shape or mold). The study of three tightly linked protocols, one for individuals and two for groups, simultaneously highlights their characteristics involving space and time, conferring them with the quality of a « pliable medium » (R. Roussillon, M. Milner), and the processes, both psychological and social, involving a « dual mental linking process » (C. Vacheret), in reference to the « double limit » of A. Green, that they permit to establish.Thus, the author raises the question of a new stage in public sector psychiatry which would consist of going into the institutions of social integration in order to better take into account the problems of social insecurity and exclusion, and addresses the question of the conditions and the limits involved in this new approach.
