The study was conducted through literature research and participant observation. It was investigated whether the methods used in laboratories litírgicos actually ensure the full participation of the person in the liturgy; if the individuals involved acquire a more integrated and full perception of self and other, and how they acquire understanding of the cosmos. It was found that Network takes over the body as an element of capital importance for the completion of the rite, so she has sought, through the liturgy laboratories, working for those involved in liturgical action can be positioned fully in comprising this sense the rediscovery of corporeality. This effort has contributed to a better understanding of the human being in its entirety, where the individual perceives himself interacting with his peers, with the cosmos and with the transcendent. / O objeto deste trabalho é o corpo nos laboratórios de liturgia da Rede Celebra. O estudo foi realizado por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e observação participante.Foi averiguada se os métodos utilizados nos laboratórios litírgicos realmente garantem a participação plena da pessoa na liturgia; se os indivíduos envolvidos adquirem uma percepção mais integrada e plena de si e do outro, e qual a compreensão que eles adquirem do cosmo. Constatou-se que Rede assume o corpo como elemento de importância capital para a realização do rito, por isso, ela tem procurado, através dos laboratórios de liturgia, trabalhar para que os envolvidos na ação litúrgica possam se posicionar de modo pleno, compreendendo neste sentido a redescoberta da corporeidade. Tal esforço tem contribuído para uma melhor compreensão do ser humano na sua inteireza, onde o indivíduo percebe-se a si mesmo interagindo com o seu semelhante, com o cosmo e com o transcendente.

Chinese medicine is one of China's key national assets, an indigenous medical knowledge and practices that serves Chinese for thousands of years. As very little research has been focused on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from systems of innovation perspective, the topic of study was chosen. This qualitative case study research introduces, defines and explores how TCM organisations collaborate to innovate from an evolutionary, interactive system perspective. In particular, the focus is on the development of knowledge and capabilities related to TCM drug research and production. Thirty one TCM organisation cases were analysed and presented in this study, interpreting their behaviour in terms of ideas drawn mainly from the literatures on systems of innovation, collaboration between organisations and resource (knowledge) based theory of the firm. Actors such as government play various roles in facilitating organisational and sectoral innovation processes. 'Various policy instruments', in particular research funding and institutions (e.g., standards and regulations) were used to enhance innovation and production. Various forms of collaborative networks were found among key actors: enterprises, universities, research organisations and end users. They contribute to the active innovation processes of 'Identification, Selection, Integration and Creation' of tangible and intangible outcomes and changes. Based on the research, new insights were derived as to how indigenous resources (defined as original and/or traditional knowledge and capabilities) may lead to indigenous innovation. This thesis contributes to the academic understanding of systems of innovation operating in the context of indigenous product and related process developments with reference to various actors interplaying in complex networks (systems) of collaborations. New understandings made on the processes of indigenous innovation (using TCM as a case) through investigating the actors' roles, inter-relations and their restless attempts to identify opportunities and problems, select and integrate different indigenous, scientific, technological and managerial knowledge, capabilities, resources and institutions, to create value that may 'fit' in evolutionary terms, the demand of the key actors in the sector.

In advancing a critical examination of post-processualism, the thesis has – as its central aim – the repositioning of the Neolithic within contemporary archaeological theory. Whilst acknowledging the insights it brings to an understanding of the period, it is argued that the knowledge it produces is necessarily constrained by the emphasis it accords to the cultural. Thus, in terms of the transition, the symbolic reading of agriculture to construct a metanarrative of Mesolithic continuity is challenged through a consideration of the evidential base and the indications it gives for a corresponding movement at the level of the economy; whilst the limiting effects generated by an interpretative reading of its monuments for an understanding of the social are considered. Underpinning these constraints is the conceptual privileging of the individual consequent upon the post-processual reaction to the totalising frameworks of modernist knowledge and the metanarratives of progress they construct – as exemplified in the economic reading of Childe. In examining the form of this reaction, the wider post-processual transposition of postmodernism within contemporary archaeological theory is also considered. In utilising Giddens’ concept of reflexivity, it is argued that rather than the ‘cultural turn’ itself, it is the inflection of the epistemological frameworks of the Enlightenment with a teleological reading of the past as progress that represents the postmodern within contemporary archaeological theory and it is through this understanding of postmodernism as expressing the capacity that modernity has to be self-aware that the conditions are established for the recovery of the Neolithic as a holistic object.

Brings with it the main concern a critical and emancipatory Physical Education and its elements for the human / professional formation. Its objective is to investigate the manifestation of physical education as a curricular component of the Vocation Agricultural Education from CTUR. For this, it?s focused on a theoretical and methodological framework that allowed capture changes in everyday reality. Approach based on Qualitative Research in Education, and the Methodology of Action Research as its main key element. Under this reasoning was possible to know at first, such as physical education was manifested in the school years, based on the relation-goals-assessment methods. Secondly, the descriptions were used as the setting of Physical Education in previous years that were built by the group involved in research, workshops, aiming to foster a process of awareness / reflection on the plurality of interpretations that this area is able to present. The guiding themes of the workshops were based on the Matrix Reference to the New ENEM 2009, rephrasing the National Examination of Secondary Education proposed by the Ministry of Education. Combining the data obtained from the questionnaires, interviews, reports from students and the observations indicated that the ?spacetimes? teaching physical education, when treated in its many possible interpretations, relying on the criticality, presents itself as an important component for the formation of man, in a holistic manner. / Esta disserta??o est? fundamentada na pesquisa realizada no Col?gio T?cnico da Universidade Rural (CTUR/UFRRJ), contando com a participa??o de estudantes do 3? ano do Curso T?cnico em Agropecu?ria Org?nica, um dos professores de Educa??o F?sica da escola e, ainda, uma observadora dos processos pedag?gicos. Traz consigo a preocupa??o central com uma Educa??o F?sica cr?tica e emancipat?ria e seus elementos constitutivos para a forma??o humana/profissional. Apresentou como objetivo geral investigar a manifesta??o da Educa??o F?sica Escolar como componente curricular da Educa??o Profissional Agr?cola do CTUR. Para tanto, debru?ou-se sobre um aporte te?rico-metodol?gico que permitiu captar as varia??es cotidianas dispostas na realidade. Contou com a Abordagem Qualitativa de Pesquisa em Educa??o, tendo a Metodologia da Pesquisa-A??o o seu principal eixo orientador. Sob esta fundamenta??o foi poss?vel conhecer, num primeiro momento, como a Educa??o F?sica se manifestou nos anos escolares, com base na rela??o objetivos-m?todos-avalia??o. Num segundo momento, foram utilizadas as descri??es quanto ? configura??o da Educa??o F?sica nos anos anteriores para que fossem constru?das, pelo coletivo envolvido na pesquisa, oficinas tem?ticas, visando possibilitar um processo de sensibiliza??o/reflex?o diante da pluralidade de interpreta??es que esta ?rea ? capaz de apresentar. Os temas orientadores das oficinas foram baseados na Matriz de Refer?ncia para o Novo ENEM 2009, reformula??o do Exame Nacional do Ensino M?dio proposta pelo Minist?rio da Educa??o. A conjuga??o dos dados obtidos com a aplica??o dos question?rios, das entrevistas, dos relatos dos estudantes e das observa??es dos espa?ostempos pedag?gicos sinalizou que a Educa??o F?sica, quando tratada nas suas m?ltiplas possibilidades interpretativas, apoiando-se na criticidade, se apresenta como um importante componente para a forma??o do homem, numa perspectiva hol?stica.

Bakgrund: Utskrivningen från slutenvården till hemmet är ett sårbart moment för patienter som övergår mellan två olika miljöer. Tidigare forskning visar att sjuksköterskor upplever utskrivningen som otydlig. Sjuksköterskor ser inte alltid utskrivningen som ett vårdande tillfälle eller upplever att det inte finns möjlighet att vårda. Det är oklart hur patienter påverkas av sjuksköterskans perspektiv på utskrivningen. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters upplevelser av vårdandet vid utskrivning. Metod: En systematisk litteraturstudie med deskriptiv design och analys av 13 kvalitativa vårdvetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Vårdrelationen vid utskrivning brister och patienter känner sig utelämnade. De upplever att deras behov inte blir uppmärksammade och att de blir utskickade. Patienter upplever att informationen är otillräcklig och att de inte får hjälp att förstå den. De vet inte vad de har att förvänta sig och blir oroliga. Omfattande information anses vara betryggande. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor behöver förbättra sitt helhetsperspektiv på patienterna vid utskrivning. Mer uppdaterad kunskap angående vårdande relationer behövs för att synliggöra patientens behov och kunna utföra vårdande handlingar.

This thesis explores one secondary art teacher's journey into multicultural education, multicultural art education and issues in holistic education. It delves into the difficulties and expectations in creating a classroom culture where all students feel validated and respected, and mutual understanding is fostered across cultural borders. Specific needs of multicultural students are addressed in regards to their education. Then due to an unexpected turn of events which led to a five week study abroad in India, the research looks at ways to incorporate a holistic approach, and spiritual dimension, to multicultural education based on Tibetan Buddhist principles. This narrative looks to find connections between cultural representation within the curriculum, student engagement, and teacher satisfaction. This thesis uses both narrative inquiry and autoethnography as methodologies. It includes field notes from India, as well as excerpts from my teaching journal in the classroom, which are woven into a narrative research text. It also includes an autoethnographic section describing my connection to the Hispanic community and why this study is relevant to my teaching practice.

Pain has caused innumerable suffering to countless individuals and has impacted their lives in profound ways. There are many detrimental effects of pain including decreased ability to work, depression, isolation, increased pharmaceutical use, and addiction. Pain, on a worldwide scale, remains ineffectively treated and alternative solutions for managing pain are needed. Pain is conventionally treated with pharmaceuticals, primarily narcotics. Continuation of medications for these painful conditions often causes dependence and addiction. The pain and narcotics cycle contributes to the opioid epidemic. The cost in human lives is immense. Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) is a holistic modality used for various ailments. This exploratory descriptive research study focused on the experience of individuals using the Micro-Pulse, PEMF, for pain relief. The mind/body connection was a foundation of the holistic theoretical framework for this study. The theoretical grounding for this study was Watson’s (2018) theory of human caring, which is based on a foundation of holistic healing incorporating mind, emotional body, physical body, and spirit for treatment of pain. Understanding an individual’s experience of pain relief will potentially raise awareness and promote the exploration of holistic therapeutic approaches for patients in pain. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2019. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Despite the many weight loss options available, the majority of overweight and obese individuals who try to lose or maintain weight loss are unsuccessful. This lack of success has been the focus of extensive research. In an attempt to develop more effective modalities, researchers have identified several predictors of weight loss success. However, the efficacy of diets is still limited. For many, this lack of weight loss success may be due to issues such as depression, loneliness, anxiety, lack of support, or other environmental factors that may be imperceptibly related to food and exercise. Repeated dieting failures may produce feelings of deprivation, low self-esteem, reduced self-efficacy, and dietary rebellion. For these individuals, a more holistic approach to addressing weight-related issues may be more effective and is the impetus for the development of this project. This project was developed utilizing several previously identified predictors of weight loss success, holistic and weight loss models, along with several self-help lay publications. This resulted in the development of a unique, holistic, self-care guide that is easily individualized and based on personal weight management needs. Individuals can potentially identify their unique physical, emotional, and spiritual motives for overeating or lack of physical activity, and design their own plan of action; potentially providing themselves with a new level of health and happiness not previously realized.

ABSTRACT When we look at artists in contemporary society it is unfortunate how many of them turn to drugs, alcohol, and suicide as a means to cope with and escape the world. Sadly, there are artists who never live long enough to have a career or share their brilliance with the world. This tragedy is the underlying motivation for this project. One of our goals at the school where I teach, Idyllwild Arts Academy, is to help prepare students for a life in the arts. For the most part we focus on the skills and concepts of their discipline. This focus inherently tends to eliminate or overlook some major concepts related to the physical, mental, and spiritual growth of the students. The purpose of this study was to discover the major concepts of health and longevity and address the best practices for creating an advanced curriculum that addressed these concepts in relation to the context of the students and school where I teach. The guiding questions for this project, in relation to the students at Idyllwild Arts Academy, were: What are the major ideas and concepts that support and promote positive personal growth for students at Idyllwild Arts Academy? What exercises will contribute to each student’s health and longevity. What skills are necessary for coping with the challenges and demands of being an artist in contemporary society? What will help each student achieve his or her full potential in life? To achieve the purpose of this study, I followed these steps: I reviewed literature about health and longevity that related to the context of my school and students, based on the findings of the literature review and my experience I created a draft of the curriculum, next I identified a group of experts and asked them to review the curriculum and complete a survey, once all the survey’s were returned I organized the data and looked for patterns, finally I compiled a list of recommendations based on the data to use when the curriculum is implemented. In addition to the list of recommendations, I have identified three major limitations that need to be addressed when implementing the curriculum. Please note, the curriculum will not be implemented as part of this project.
