Private schools have frequently provided innovative, experimental, and creative program unavailable to students in the public system. The most successful have survived and expanded by offering an educational experience widely perceived to be not just as good as that available in the public system, but better. In Canada, private schools are enjoying an unprecedented popularity and while most are day-only, over sixty sustain boarding programs, as do two off-shore Canadian schools. The Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools presents information on the educational environment of each province,then offers comparative information on each boarding school. The information on each school includes: basic data, location, history, philosophy, the campus, boarding facilities, health and safety, administration and faculty, student body and student conduct, academic calendar and program, information technology, student activities and student conduct, admission and costs. The Handbook also supplies several appendices outlining important programs often available through boarding schools, such as Advanced Placement courses and the International Baccalaureate. For parents in Canada and abroad about to commit substantial sums to their children''s education, the Handbook of Canadian Boarding Schools is an essential tool to help them make the right decision. It is also an indispensable resource for supporters of the public system looking for ideas that have worked elsewhere. / Ashley Thomson, a faculty member in the J.N.

Šiuolaikinėje meninėje knygrišystėje senoji tradicinė knygos apdaro paskirtis - saugoti ir aukštinti rašytinį žodį - lieka daugiau simbolinė. Šiuolaikinė autorinė knygrišystė pabrėžia knygos įrišimo ir viršelio dekoravimo būdo vientisumą, viršelio formos ir dekoro apipavidalinimo originalumą, unikalumą, o tai skiria ją nuo pramoninės ir amatininkiškos knygrišystės. Lietuvoje nėra pakankamai sukurta knygų įrišimų, skirtų nusipelniusiems Lietuvos rašytojams. Baigiamajame darbe pasirinkti ir įrišti Lietuvai nusipelniusios rašytojos Jurgos Ivanauskaitės trys romanai „Ragana ir lietus“, „Placebas“, „Sapnų nublokšti“, kuriuose rašoma apie amžinąsias būties problemas, tokias kaip kūną, meilę, sielą, nuodėmes. Bakalauriniame darbe, pabrėždama šiuolaikinės rankų darbo knygrišystės reikšmę, pateikiau savitus Jurgos Ivanauskaitės knygų įrišimų kūrybinius įrišimus, bei parengiau aprašą apie šiuolaikinę knygrišystę. Šiuolaikinė knygrišystė yra aktuali šių dienų kūrybinės raiškos forma, tad norėdama sukurti J. Ivanauskaitės knygų įrišimų kūrybinius sprendimus, išanalizavau šiuolaikinius įrišimus, jų kūrybinių sprendimų ypatumus bei specifiką. Siekdama, jog J.Ivanauskaitės knygų įrišimai pagrįstų šios autorės kūrybos unikalumą, savitumą, įgyvendinau ir praktinius uždavinius, sudarant prielaidą, jog mano sukurti autorės knygų įrišimai sudarytų dar platesnius visuomenės užmojus domėtis šios autorės kūryba, grįsta itin neeilinėmis idėjomis, plačiomis pažiūromis, išskirtinėmis mintimis...

Modern copywriter‘s bookbinding emphasizes the unity in manner of binding and board decoration, the originality of decor shaping and cover shape, uniquness, that is what distinguishes it from industrial and arty-crafty bookbinding. There is a lack of created bindings in Lithuania dedicated to honoured Lithuanian writers. There were three novels of the honoured Lithuanian writer Jurga Ivanauskaite chosen for this final research, i.e.“Ragana ir lietus“, “Placebas“ and “Sapnų nublokšti“ which embrace the eternal entity issues such as body, love, soul and sins. In the Bachelor‘s research with the emphasis of the value of contemporary manual bookbinding I have represented peculiar creative bookbindings of Jurga Ivanauskaitė altogehter with a depiction of the contemporary bookbinding. Modern bookbinding is a live present day creative form of expression so having a desire to find creative solutions for the bookbindings of Jurga Ivanauskaite, I have analysed modern bindings, the peculiarities of their creative solutions and particularity. With the objective to prove a creative uniqueness and individuality of the bookbindings of Jurga Ivanauskaite, I have also implemented practical tasks, making presumption that my created bookbindings of the writer would reason larger swings of the society to get interested in her creation based...

For some Aboriginal people, healing is a relatively new word that seems to have emerged and taken on a life of its own only after the 1990 Mohawk Crisis and the ensuing Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP, 1996). In spite of the massive 4000-page RCAP report, some mainstream authorities (Brasfield, 2001) still believe that the meaning of Aboriginal healing has not been fully explained. In this study, an attempt will be made to widen the meaning of Aboriginal healing by examining ancient Haudenosaunee (People of the Longhouse) philosophy, historical cultural upheaval, and narratives from First Nations survivors of Indian residential schools and a Holocaust survivor. The results have shown a connection between Aboriginal healing and Canadian society. Healing can only occur if the wound is not continuously reopened such as when long-standing land claims remain unsettled, Indigenous language and culture programs are neglected, and a People are ignored.

This thesis is centred on the work of Portuguese writer José Régio (1901-1969). He was a teacher-writer and, arguably, the most philosophical of Portuguese school novel authors. In his novel ‘A Drop of Blood’ (1945), Régio shows interest in the formation of the artist as the special object of education – the ‘marked man’ –, whose sensitivity distances him irremediably from the crowd. He adopted the radical individualism of Nietzsche not in order to be ‘for’ or ‘against’ this or that schooling model but to exemplify the perpetual clash, inherent in mankind, between the individual and the group, the artist and the non-artistic person, the young and the adult, the son and the father and the self and the world.

Adolescents’ (N = 272) psychological changes were examined at a residential academy for gifted junior and senior high school students in the Midwest. The School-Based Conception of Giftedness (Coleman & Cross, 2005) was drawn on to understand how school environment influences student development. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were used to inform the study. Outcome measurement data from the Youth Outcome Questionnaire Self-Report 2.0 (YOQ-SR) tracked students’ level of psychological distress over the course of an academic year. Using Latent Growth Curve Model (LGM) analysis, the initial level of distress did not impact how students’ stress levels changed over time. The results indicated a strong negative correlation (r =-.884) between the slope and quadratic change; meaning, the more a students’ level of stress increased the more rapidly they were able to reduce it over time. Overall, the change in stress formed an inverted-U shape, as students adapted to the challenges of the school. Phenomenological interviews were conducted with 9 senior students with a wide range of YOQ-SR scores at the beginning of their junior year. Four categories emerged from the interviews about student experiences at the academy: Psychological Changes, Academic Adjustment, Social Adjustment and Social Comparison. In essence, when participating in the academy, students experienced advanced personal development, improved management skills and developed a sense of readiness for college. / Department of Educational Psychology

abstract: In 1890, the State of Nevada built the Stewart Indian School on a parcel of land three miles south of Carson City, Nevada, and then sold the campus to the federal government. The Stewart Indian School operated as the only non-reservation Indian boarding school in Nevada until 1980 when the federal government closed the campus. Faced with the challenge of assimilating Native peoples into Anglo society after the conclusion of the Indian wars and the confinement of Indian nations on reservations, the federal government created boarding schools. Policymakers believed that in one generation they could completely eliminate Indian culture by removing children from their homes and educating them in boarding schools. The history of the Stewart Indian School from 1890 to 1940 is the story of a dynamic and changing institution. Only Washoe, Northern Paiute, and Western Shoshone students attended Stewart for the first decade, but over the next forty years, children from over sixty tribal groups enrolled at the school. They arrived from three dozen reservations and 335 different hometowns across the West. During this period, Stewart evolved from a repressive and exploitive institution, into a school that embodied the reform agenda of the Indian New Deal in the 1930s. This dissertation uses archival and ethnographic material to explain how the federal government's agenda failed. Rather than destroying Native culture, Stewart students and Nevada's Indian communities used the skills taught at the school to their advantage and became tribal leaders during the 1930s. This dissertation explores the individual and collective bodies of Stewart students. The body is a social construction constantly being fashioned by the intersectional forces of race, class, and gender. Each chapter explores the different ways the Stewart Indian School and the federal government tried to transform the students' bodies through their physical appearance, the built environment, health education, vocational training, and extracurricular activities such as band and sports. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. History 2013

Abstract Project work is very common in today’s organizations. For various tasks projects are even the dominant organizational form in practice. Compared to the work in the line organization projects are for example cross-functional and temporarily. Due to this aspect, the staffing process occurs more regularly than in the standard line organization. However, the on-boarding process of new project team members – in this work understood as the practices to integrate the newcomers into the existing project team – is not covered by a lot of research results. Research projects focus rather on other aspects of knowledge management in project contexts. In addition, related fields do only provide limited insights into the process of new team member project on-boarding. Thus, a gap in existing research result remains. This research project aims to close this gap and to provide insights into the process of project on-boarding. To provide practical guidance concrete aspects of the on-boarding like useful information sources and successful methods are investigated. More specifically the following research questions guide the project: Which methods & tools are used to provide employees project-related information during the introduction phase, how are they used in practice and how effective are these methods? Which information sources do new project team members search actively to get the information required to fulfill their new tasks, how are they used and how effective are these information sources? How are the various on-boarding processes structured, coordinated and monitored in practice and how effective are the on-boarding processes? To investigate the subject the research project is structured as follows: Based on a literature review a quantitative survey (web-based questionnaire) is designed. The responses are analyzed and a quantitative overview of the applied methods, the used information sources and the on-boarding results is given. In a qualitative research step, additional interviews are performed to cover more complex aspects of the on-boarding process and to complement the quantitative results. The interviews with the project managers and project team members are analyzed to develop detailed descriptions. Based on the analysis of the overall responses, the following can be summarized: Successful project managers do carefully analyze the project context to structure the on-boarding process accordingly. The curiosity and openness of team members is emphasized on and is often increased by an active communication of the project goals, the development of the project and the specific role and expected contribution of the newcomers. Project managers need to be highly available for the new team members because they are appreciated as the number one source of information during the project encounter.

This causes problems of pedestrian crowding in public places. The Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system called Metropolitano transports 650,000 passengers a day, of which 81,800 of them use the boarding platform of the Naranjal station located in one of the most populated districts of Lima. In this station are concentrated 12.6% users of the entire transportation system. This research proposes a pedestrian microsimulation model with the objective of optimizing the pedestrian area of one of the most demanded platforms in Lima, considering the security protocols established by the Covid-19 Pandemic. To obtain results, the parameters of pedestrian density, bus frequency and queuing time were considered. The effectiveness of the proposed design is validated using a model made with the software Vissim. The results showed that the maximum number of pedestrians that can occupy the Naranjal station following the Covid-19 security protocols are 4166 persons, considering a 180 second bus frequency on lines with the highest demand and a maximum queuing time of 764.51 seconds.
