The program operates as a collaborative of Yale, Local 34, and Gateway Community Technical College. This dissertation research began by posing the following research questions: (1) What are the cultural elements of the NHRTP, relative to the program's methods for surviving in and adapting to its external environment? (2) Of these cultural elements, which directly affect how the program is administered? (3) What are some specific examples of how these cultural elements influence the way the program is administered? The qualitative case study method was used to answer the major research questions, using Edgar Schein's theory of organizational culture as a research framework. Data was collected over a seven-month period through observations on-site at the NHRTP office; interviews of university, union, and college staff members involved in the administration of the program; and review of program and partnership documents. The shared basic assumptions of the group (one aspect of the group's culture) were identified when the data demonstrated sufficient continuity and repetition of response. But as data collection progressed it was accentuated that the program functions in a notably relaxed manner, in contrast to publicly-funded job training program standards, and the research question evolved to: Why does the program's external environment, Yale University, allow it to operate in the notably relaxed manner that it does? The response to this evolved research question is addressed in the context of two predominant characteristics identified during data collection: (1) the program's lack of data collection procedures, and (2) the interpersonal relationships between program staff and students and between program staff and Yale University human resources staff. An examination of the significance of the primary and secondary effects of these program characteristics shows that Yale University allows NHR TP to function as it does because it serves as evidence of a successful working relationship between Local 34 and the university. / 2031-01-01

The purpose of this project is to study the risk of cataract development in patients who had undergone pars plana vitrectomy, scleral buckle, or both. A retrospective study was performed of phakic patients who underwent pars plana vitrectomy, scleral buckle, or both at Yale University Eye Center from 1998 to 2005. Mild postoperative cataract, defined as a change in severity of 1+, developed in 32 of 53 (60%) eyes following vitrectomy, 2 of 19 (11%) post scleral buckle, and 14 of 16 (88%) after both. Moderate postoperative cataract, defined as a change in severity of 2+, developed in 14 of 53 (26%) eyes post vitrectomy, 1 of 19 (5%) post scleral buckle, and 11 of 16 (69%) after both procedures. In eyes that underwent vitrectomy, a lens change of at least 2+ occurred in 8% at 3 months, 15% at 6 months, 21% at 12 months, and 26% at 36 months. In eyes status post scleral buckle surgery, one eye (5%) experienced a 2+ change at 36 months. In eyes that underwent both vitrectomy and scleral buckle, a lens change of at least 2+ occurred in 44% at 3 months, 50% at 6 months, 63% at 12 months, and 69% at 36 months. Cataract extraction surgery was performed in 15% of eyes post vitrectomy, 0% post scleral buckling, and 50% after both. The most common type of cataract to develop was nuclear sclerotic, which accounted for 61% of cataracts after vitrectomy, 50% after scleral buckling, and 50% after combined vitrectomy and scleral buckling. Scleral buckling surgery is associated with a low risk of cataract formation. Pars plana vitrectomy and combined vitrectomy and buckle have a higher risk of cataract development.

Essa dissertação apresenta um estudo analítico sobre a obra do arquiteto Louis I. Kahn, desde o ponto de vista da sua qualidade espacial, compreendida esta no modo como ocorre a interação entre espaço e usuário. Foram selecionados três edifícios como estudos de caso capazes de representar a síntese evolutiva da concepção de espaço ao longo da obra de Kahn, os quais foram submetidos a uma análise empírica baseada na experiência espacial do observador em movimento, lançando mão de um conjunto de ferramentas no assim denominado método do observador. Os edifícios estudados viabilizam o desenvolvimento de análises que abrangem desde as primeiras obras de Kahn, na década de 1930, até o seu falecimento, em 1974. A análise realizada registra o desempenho dos edifícios em termos de sua legibilidade e funcionalidade, compreendidas como qualidades inerentes ao espaço e ao modo como este condiciona a experiência do usuário, relacionandoas à concepção espacial do edifício. Procura-se ampliar a compreensão dos resultados obtidos à luz da evolução da obra teórica do autor, traçando relações de causa e efeito entre esta e os fenômenos registrados na realidade concreta dos edifícios. O trabalho busca ainda ampliar a compreensão da relação da obra de Kahn com o contexto da produção arquitetônica de sua época, investigando as influências que recebe e as contribuições que oferece, especialmente no que tange à continuidade da arquitetura moderna. / The present dissertation is as an analytical study about the work of architect Louis I. Kahn, focusing on its spatial quality, as funded in the interaction between space and people in motion. Three buildings were selected as case studies in order to capture the evolutionary synthesis of space conception happened during Kahn’s career. Each building was submitted to an empirical scrutiny based upon the spatial experience of a moving observer, using a set of tools named as the “method of the observer”. The buildings investigated are put in relation with other Kahn’s buildings, so allowing the development of an analytical discourse embracing since his first works, in the 1930’s, until his death, in 1974. The analysis registers the performance of the buildings in terms of their legibility and their functionality, both understood as qualities inherent to space and the way they shape the user’s experience, so relating them to the building’s spatial conception. The dissertation intends to enlarge the understanding of the findings by considering the evolution of Kahn’s theoretical work, so bringing cause-effect connections between theory and the registered phenomena in the concrete reality of buildings. Eventually, this study aims to enlarge the understanding of the link between Kahn’s work and the architectural environment of the time, so exploring the influences he received and contributions he gave, especially concerning the evolution of modern architecture.
