M.Cur. / Coronary stenting as a treatment method for the "in-between" patient with atherosclerosis was instituted in October 1991. It was initially used as secondary treatment to balloon angioplasty as "bail-out", when dissection or secondary closure of the coronary artery occurred. It has now become the primary method of treatment for atherosclerosis. It is apparent that there is a deficit in the information available to patients who have received a coronary stent. The objective of this study was therefore firstly to compile an information booklet for the patient who has received a coronary stent and secondly to set nursing guidelines for use on the implementation of this booklet. A literature study was undertaken on the following topics: atherosclerosis and its associated risk factors; the patient as an adult learner; coronary stents and the function of the nurse. This study showed that the literature covered the procedure of coronary stenting but not patient education. Interviews were conducted with two doctors that do coronary stenting as a method of treatment s as to determine what they see as import ant information to be given to these patients. Further interviews were conducted with patients that have received coronary stents to determine what they wanted and needed to know. From all the information gathered from the literature review and interviews, the information booklet was compiled, as well as the guidelines set for the nurse on how to implement the booklet.

M. Ed. / The learning disabled pupil often finds himself a stranger in the world of learning, in view of his backlog and difficulties in educational experiences. Research shows that these children already experience failure at the onset of schooling and are hardly ever Existing parent guidance and stress control programmes were investigated in detail. A survey indicated that there were certain guidelines and measures which could serve to design an appropriate parent guidance programme relating to stress control of learning disabled pupils. It could be concluded that the survey of literature constituting this study indicates beyond all doubt that a parent guidance programme relating to the stress control of learning disabled pupils could prove invaluable in the learning experiences and behaviour changes of these children. able to revert this failure orientation to success. Repetitive failure and persistent learning difficulties contribute to a poor self-esteem, poor achievement motivation and eventually chronic negative stress. In reviewing the literature the role of parents con= cerning their learning disabled child's experiences came to light. Parents of these children often find themselves at loggerheads with each other, their child, teachers and education systems. In braving the effort to learn, the learning disabled child needs the close understanding support of his parents. Literature indicates further that parents are viewed as the most important and accessible agents of change in a child's life.

Parenting is as old as mankind and all people relate to it in one way or another. It is widely portrayed in a variety of media, from popular culture to scientific texts. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to investigate parenting, based on how it is constructed and legitimized in two popular science books for parents. In doing so, the study aims to create a wider understanding of contemporary ideas and ideals about parenting. The material used consist of two popular science books about parenting, chosen for their popularity, scientific knowledge claim and that they are aimed both at parents and professionals. The first book is Vad alla föräldrar borde få veta (2019) by Swedish authors Kajsa Lönn Rhodin and Maria Lalouni and the second one is Förstå ditt barns hjärna (2019) by American authors Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson. The material has been analyzed through qualitative content analysis and within a framework of late modern theory, based on the work of sociologists Anthony Giddens, Ulrich Beck and Elizabeth Beck-Gernsheim. The study finds that the parenting ideals presented in the books are highly characterized by individualization. It finds that parenting is constructed in relation to different risks, consisting of mental and physical illness in the child's adult life. The parenting ideal is legitimized by being presented as a protection against these risks. To succeed with parenthood, certain competences appear as desirable. These consist of different psychological methods, usually reserved for professionals, as well as techniques for talking to children, which the parents are encouraged to learn. This requires a lot of self-regulation and self-awareness from the parent. One of the most important tasks that parenting aims for is creating a child fit for the demanding life of modern society. The parent is portrayed as a social engineer with the ability to promote what appears to be important personality traits, such as being self-reflexive, autonomous and constantly striving to develop. The study also finds that the relationship between the parent and the child builds on the idea of the pure relationship, which is based on love and democracy. Through understanding of human evolution and biology, the parent is expected to interpret and if necessary counteract, impulses that are not desirable in a modern society. Throughout the books, the authors construct middle class families as the norm and are in lack of a structural perspective. This results in responsibility being put solely on the parent.

This paper is to present a student interior design laboratory manual for Perspective Drawing 134. A mechanical and freehand approach to the grid method of perspective is used. Chapter I reviews the significance of the problem, definitions of terms of perspective, data sources and method of procedure. Chanter II explains a brief overview of perspective from primitive man to its present use in interior design. Chapter III reviews the general principles of perspective. Chapter IV presents the grid method to one-point and two-point perspective, both mechanical and freehand approaches. Included are step by step illustrations and explanations of the method. Chapter V summarizes the intent of this study.

The purpose of this study is to determine pertinent contents for a bulletin for beginning teachers in the public schools of Port Arthur, Texas. An effort is made to evaluate the findings and to make specific recommendations regarding the contents of such a bulletin.

User system interface guidelines are emerging as a tool for user interface design. However, guidelines are relatively new, and the effectiveness of guidelines in their present form is still being debated. Some designers of USI tools are attempting to place guidelines online in browsing systems, often as a part of automated USI design tools. This thesis studies the role levels of abstraction has on the detection of USI guidelines violations in user interface evaluation. Studies of online guidance systems, such as help manuals, have yielded mixed results in comparing performance when using online systems versus hardcopy manuals. This thesis also explores the effect which guideline presentation media has upon guidelines usage. / Master of Science
