Mothers' ability to identify nonverbal expressions of four affects in their own children.

Feinman, Joel Alan 01 January 1980 (has links) (PDF)
There is now much evidence showing that nonverbal behavior provides valuable information about an individual's internal state. Ekman and Friesen (1969) have shown that, without training, adults can, and do, make accurate inferences about emotions, attitudes, interpersonal roles, and severity of pathology by observing nonverbal behavior. For young children, whose verbal abilities are not yet greatly developed, it would seem reasonable that nonverbal expression may be an even more valuable tool in communicating information to those around them (Odom and Lemond, 1972). Accurate parental decoding of the child's nonverbal behavior, particularly nonverbal expressions of affect, may be especially important in helping the child to interpret, label, and differentiate his or her own emotional experiences, the emotional expressions of others, and the stimuli that elicit them. Sensitivity to the child's nonverbal expressions may affect the outcome of specific interactions between parent and child, as well as the ongoing character of the parent-child relationship, by providing the parent with useful information about the child's emotional state. In turn, recognition of the child's emotional state provides a basis for the empathic understanding of the child. Since parental empathy is an important factor in promoting a sense of well-being and health in children (Carek, 1972; Ornstein, 1976; Saarni , 1978), the ability of parents to decode nonverbal expressions of affect in their children thus seems to be an impor1 2 tant area of research for understanding the emotional development of children.

The work on sustainability in the use and disposal stage of a garment’s life cycle : The perspective of three Swedish clothing companies

RYTTINGER, LINNÉA, HOLTMAAT, KRISTEL January 2014 (has links)
Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify how clothing companies are striving for sustainability within their product life cycle; to which extent these companies are working on the sustainability of the use and disposal stage; and their willingness to interfere more in these stages by improving the use and disposal habits of their customers by offering care, repair and end of use services. Research questions: What activities are the clothing companies undertaking in order to improve the sustainability of the use and disposal stage? o How are the clothing companies communicating correct use, maintenance and disposal of their products to consumers? o What are the difficulties the clothing companies are facing in their efforts to become more engaged in the use and disposal stage? Method: The research was conducted with an inductive approach, by collecting secondary data from previous studies and theories, and by accumulating primary data from semi-structured interviews with the CSR coordinator of Didriksons, the Director of Sustainability of Haglöfs and the CSR manager of Nudie Jeans. Findings: Throughout the study acknowledgements have been received about the ongoing activities, the possible difficulties, and the communication in regards to the three clothing companies work on sustainability in the use and disposal stage. The results pointed out the differences between the companies concerning the ways of offering services in the use and disposal stage, and their ways of communicating these services to consumers. The key findings showed that the companies find consumer education important, however each company could improve their communication towards consumers in some of the discussed stages. Governmental support and more advanced recycling technologies are of importance in order to facilitate the aim of creating a more sustainable use and disposal stage. / Program: Textilt management med inriktning styrning av textila värdekedjor

A PolÃtica das Falas e o Tempo das Imagens: Narrativas Governamentais no CearÃ. / The Policy of Speeches and the Age of Images: Narratives Government in Cearà (2010-2012)

MÃrio Henrique Castro Benevides 26 February 2014 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / Observando a realidade textual da notÃcia como objeto sociolÃgico, o trabalho em questÃo discute os modos pelos quais um governo estadual produz uma imagem de si e de seu papel por meio de narrativas oficiais de noticiamento. Tomando um corpus de informes e documentos publicados pelo Executivo do estado do CearÃ, entre os anos de 2010 e 2012, a pesquisa atravessa o conjunto de estratÃgias de tratamento do imaginÃrio polÃtico e analisa a importÃncia da produÃÃo do feito. Por feito, entende-se aqui a descriÃÃo pÃblica e oficial de uma aÃÃo governamental, valorizada e difundida como forma de legitimaÃÃo das prÃticas do poder do Estado e de uma gestÃo especÃfica. Percebe-se, assim, que o segundo governo de Cid Ferreira Gomes, no CearÃ, opera uma noÃÃo de modernidade como bandeira do desenvolvimento, criando, ao mesmo tempo, um novo formato de exposiÃÃo das realizaÃÃes administrativas no sentido de um sistema perito â um saber codificado para todos os que estÃo fora de sua produÃÃo imediata. Compreende-se, tambÃm, que a notÃcia, como aÃÃo institucional, constrÃi os feitos sempre como fatos positivos, criando uma espÃcie de curriculum para o Estado e para o governo e apropriando-se de uma cultura polÃtica fundada na relevÃncia da imagem, da validaÃÃo por meio da comunicaÃÃo massiva. / Observing the textual reality in the news as a sociological purpose, the study in question discusses the way of the state government produces its own image through the officials narratives of the reports. Using a corpus of informs and documents, published by the Executive of the state of Cearà between the years 2010 and 2012, this research passes the conjunct of strategies of the imaginary treatment political and analyzes the importance of production of the feat. The feat is understood here how the official public description of the governmental action, appreciated and diffused as a form of legitimation, and practice from the power of State and a specific administration. We realize that the second government of Cid Ferreira Gomes in state of Cearà operate a notion of modernization how a standard of development, creating at the same time a new shape of exposition of administrative realizations in the direction and adept system a codified lore to all that are out of a imediate production. We also understand that the news, as an institutional action, construct the feat always as positive facts, creating a short of curriculum for the State and the government and appropriating the politic culture based in the imageÂs relevance and validation through the mass communication.

Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-26T18:16:12Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Geane Carvalho Alzamora.pdf: 11474185 bytes, checksum: ceeec223ee66976c5cf5297fba13e588 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2005-04-04 / Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais / This research begins with the following questions: which language and cultural features shapes cultural webjournalism and to what extent the later is different from the classical model of cultural journalism in the mass media? To answer these questions, we tried initially to characterize the episthemological realm of the cultural journalism, from a historical perspective which would deal with his language evolution and cultural approaching. Press journalism is taken as a comparative reference because it created the classical model of cultural journalism built by the twentieth century mass media and so it has been a beacon for most of the internet journalistic experiences. The social apropriation of the internet has meaned a new communcational logic, based on contribution, participation and sharing of socially produced informations. The hipermidiatic communication logic is heightened by the media language resources, like multimidiality, hypertextuality, interactivity and memory. On the other hand, the mass logic is characterized by the transmission of information from the basis of centralized social mediations. This transmissive logic has been analysed with mass communication theories and models, and later it has been contrasted, through the peircean semiotics model, with the associative logic of the hypermidiatic communication. Determination and representation semiotic operations, which complete themselves in the semiotic or mediation operation, were related, respectively, to the transmissive logic and to the communicational associative logic. Semiotics suppose continuous improvement of signical processes. On the same way, journalistic semiotics seems to point out to a broadening of its communicational logic, as demonstrated by the new ways of internet cultural information. To investigate the formats through which cultural information circulate on the internet, it has been created a virtual community to discuss, between 2002 and 2004, this issue. Simultaneously, an FCA/PUCMinas and UNI-BH research staff discussed and referenced, in a website, some paradigms of circulation of cultural information on internet. Then, the referenced websites were analysed with the peircean semiotics model focus, and it was measured to what extent they get closer or move away from the cultural journalism classical model. The results has shown that hybridism reigns on the net and that this fact perhaps require the broadening of the cultural journalism concept with the aim of embracing the specificities of hypermidiatic communication associative logic / Esta pesquisa parte das seguintes indagações: quais são as características culturais e de linguagem que conformam o webjornalismo cultural e em que medida este se diferencia do modelo clássico do jornalismo cultural consolidado pelos meios de massa? Para se responder essas questões, buscou-se inicialmente caracterizar o campo de abrangência epistemológica do jornalismo cultural, a partir de uma perspectiva histórica que levasse em conta sua evolução de linguagem e de abordagem cultural. O jornalismo impresso é tomado como referência comparativa porque é dele que emana o modelo clássico de jornalismo cultural consolidado pelos meios de massa no século 20 e é ele que baliza boa parte das experiências jornalísticas na internet. A apropriação social da internet significou uma nova lógica comunicacional, fundada na colaboração, participação e partilha de informações socialmente produzidas. A lógica da comunicacão hipermidiática é potencializada pelos recursos de linguagem do meio, tais como multimidialidade, hipertextualidade, interatividade e memória. Já a lógica de massa se caracteriza pela transmissão de informações a partir de mediações sociais centralizadas. Essa lógica transmissiva foi discutida a partir de teorias e modelos de comunicação de massa e, posteriormente, diferenciada da lógica associativa da comunicação hipermdiática através do modelo peirceano da semiose. As operações semióticas de determinação e representação, que se completam na operação de mediação ou semiose, foram relacionadas respectivamente à lógica transmissiva e à lógica associativa de comunicação. A semiose pressupõe aprimoramento contínuo dos processos sígnicos. Do mesmo modo, a semiose jornalística parece apontar no sentido de ampliação de sua lógica comunicacional, como atestam os novos formatos de informação cultural que emergem da internet. Para se investigar as formas pelas quais a informação cultural circula pela internet, criou-se uma comunidade virtual para discutir, entre 2002 e 2004, essa questão. Simultaneamente, uma equipe de pesquisadores da FCA/PUCMinas e UNI-BH discutiu e referenciou, em um website, paradigmas de circulação de informação cultural na internet. Analisou-se, então, os websistes referenciados à luz do modelo peirceano da semiose, observando em que medida eles se aproximavam e se afastavam do modelo clássico de jornalismo cultural, consolidado pela lógica transmissiva da comunicação de massa. Os resultados demonstraram que o hibridismo impera na rede e que isso deve significar ampliação do conceito de jornalismo cultural para abarcar as especificidades da lógica associativa da comunicação hipermidiática

Servetus, Swedenborg and the nature of God

Dibb, Andrew Malcolm Thomas 30 November 2001 (has links)
Michael Servetus (1508 - 1553) and Emanuel Swedenborg (1688 - 1772) are both considered heretics. They share many concepts about the nature of God, especially their rejection orthodox Nicene and Chalcedonian theology. This thesis explores their respective theologies relating to the Trinity and Christology, with speculation of what sources they may have had in common. While attention is paid to Ignatius, Irenaeus and Tertullian, particular attention is paid to Tertullian, whose work Adversus Praxean lays the foundation of Servetus' ideas and has much in common with Swedenborg's theology. In light of their similarity to Tertullian, the question is asked if Servetus and Swedenborg would have been called heretics prior to Nicaea. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th.

Jesus Christ’s humanity in the contexts of the pre-fall and post-fall natures of humanity: a comparative and critical evaluative study of the views of Jack Sequeira, Millard J. Erickson and Norman R. Gulley

Mwale, Emanuel 12 1900 (has links)
Bibliography: leaves 653-669 / Before God created human beings, He devised a plan to save them in case they sinned. In this plan, the second Person of the Godhead would become human. Thus, the incarnation of the second Person of the Godhead was solely for the purpose of saving fallen, sinful human beings. There would have been no incarnation if human beings had not sinned. Thus, the nature of the mission that necessitated the incarnation determined what kind of human nature Jesus was to assume. It was sin that necessitated the incarnation – sin as a tendency and sin as an act of disobedience. In His incarnational life and later through His death on Calvary’s cross, Jesus needed to deal with this dual problem of sin. In order for Him to achieve this, He needed to identify Himself with the fallen humanity in such a way that He would qualify to be the substitute for the fallen humanity. In His role as fallen humanity’s substitute, He would die vicariously and at the same time have sin as a tendency rendered impotent. Jesus needed to assume a human nature that would qualify Him to be an understanding and sympathetic High Priest. He needed to assume a nature that would qualify Him to be an example in overcoming temptation and suffering. Thus, in this study, after comparing and critically evaluating the Christological views of Jack Sequeira, Millard J. Erickson and Norman R. Gulley, I propose that Jesus assumed a unique post-fall (postlapsarian) human nature. He assumed the very nature that all human beings since humankind’s fall have, with its tendency or leaning towards sin. However, unlike other human beings, who are sinners by nature and need a saviour, Jesus was not a sinner. I contend that Jesus was unique because, first and foremost, He was conceived in Mary’s womb by the power of the Holy Spirit and was filled with the Holy Spirit throughout His earthly life. Second; He was the God-Man; and third, He lived a sinless life. This study contributes to literature on Christology, and uniquely to Christological dialogue between Evangelical and Seventh-day Adventist theologians. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / D.
