Annually, tropical cyclones do tremendous damage and are agents of long-term coastal change. To test this idea of different tropical cyclones delivering consistent coastal change, a landform with such evolution is needed. One such landform is a spit. What contributions do tropical cyclones give toward the evolution of a spit, and do tropical cyclones give the same kinds of impacts? To determine if tropical cyclones have similar impacts, shoreline and volumetric change from four storms impacting Bolivar Peninsula are considered. Being a southwest-trended spit at a length of 33.5 kilometers, storm impacts are measured in the form of one dimensional shoreline and two dimensional volumetric change. These impacts are abstracted into shoreline change and volumetric change patterns. These patterns are identified and compared for differences between each storm and similarity among all storms. Results indicate that shoreline accretionary zones vary alongshore. Results from Hurricane Ike indicate an accretionary zone ten kilometers from the distal end. Shoreline change patterns for Hurricane Rita show an unstable accretionary zone at four kilometers from the distal end. Results for Tropical Storm Fay indicate an unstable accretionary zone that begins at the distal end and continues to the middle of the spit. In terms of similarity for shoreline change, all patterns from storms demonstrated erosion near Rollover Fish Pass. One dimensional volumetric change patterns were entirely erosive for Hurricanes Rita and Ike, and Tropical Storm Fay had by small zones of accretion near the distal portion of the spit. Tropical Storm Josephine demonstrated an accretion zone between the middle and distal portion of the spit. Results from two dimensional volumetric change patterns suggest a threshold for inland penetration. Tropical Storm Fay showed a ten to twenty meter wide pattern of erosion around five kilometers from the distal end and near the proximal end of the spit, and Hurricane Rita demonstrated a twenty meter wide pattern of erosion near the distal end. Hurricane Ike had erosive penetration of up to 200 meters around fifteen kilometers from the distal end. Results suggest that certain storms reinforce the standard spit growth model, and others work against it.

Studiens syfte bygger på en vilja att undersöka vilken typ av övningsböcker med inriktning på dubbelgrepp som ger mig motivation och god progression. För en framtida fiolpedagog är det viktigt att ha goda kunskaper i tekniken och hur den kan introduceras för att kunna hjälpa sina elever. Studien är en självstudie och sker genom utforskandet av olika övningar från tre övningsböcker inom den västerländska konstmusik-traditionen. Övningsböckerna används vid fem tillfällen var där den egna övningen observeras och dokumenteras genom loggboksanteckningar, videodokumentation och en självvärderingsskala. Resultatet visar att en specifik övningsbok inte är helt avgörande för framgången med dubbelgreppsteknik. Det framkommer också att lärarens roll är av stor vikt för den egna övningen om det så sker genom instruktioner i övningsmaterialet eller genom fysisk lektion. De övningsperioder som genomfördes utan goda instruktioner har negativ inverkan i form av minskad motivation. Övningsböcker kan vara en bra hjälp om bokens upplägg är i samklang med violinisten, men den verkligt motiverande och influerande rollen har läraren.

This creative nonfiction dissertation is a book of essays that explore the author's life and relationship to Upstate New York. The project also connects this experience to gender and trauma. Though the topics range from local history to cosmetic surgical procedures, the essays are collected by how they illuminate cultural tensions and universal truths. These essays are preceded by a critical preface that examines the differences between essays collections, books of essays, and argues for the recognition of narrative nonfiction as an artistic choice.

Jade Montserrat ist eine britische Performerin und bildende Künstlerin, die sich im Rahmen ihres künstlerischen PhD mit Josephine Bakers Performances auseinandersetzt. Sie performt geloopte Choreographien, die aus überlieferten Aufzeichnungen von Baker abgeleitet sind und setzt sich auch in Zeichnungen und Installationen mit Baker auseinander. Der Beitrag verortet diese Arbeiten in den Debatten von Performance und Blackness und beschreibt Montserrats Performanceverfahren selbst als Forschungsmethode. Daraus leiten sich neue Formen der Archivierung und Auseinandersetzung mit Performance-Geschichte ab.

O estudo busca compreender o significado do cuidado para a equipe de Enfermagem no estar-com o ser-criança que convive com AIDS - sob o olhar da Teoria de Enfermagem Humanística de Paterson e Zderad. Constitui-se em um estudo qualitativo com abordagem existencial fenomenológica, que utiliza, para coleta de informações, a entrevista semi-estruturada, proposta por Triviños. Para análise das informações, fundamenta-se na abordagem hermenêutica proposta por Motta e Crossetti, à luz de Ricoeur. O estudo se desenvolveu em uma Unidade de Internação Pediátrica e teve, como informantes, quatro enfermeiros e quatro auxiliares de Enfermagem. Desvelaram-se nos discursos três temas e seus respectivos sub temas: Existencialidade do ser-criança que convive com AIDS, com os subtemas Ser-no-mundo-com-o-outro; Expressividade no mundo do cuidado; Temporalidade e historicidade; O estar-com do ser-familiar e O ser-familiar como um ser de cuidado. Expressividade do cuidado: ser, saber e fazer compartilhado e seus subtemas: O cuidar como um ato de vida; Cuidado autêntico; O encontro vivido e dialogado; Cuidar de si como abertura ao encontro de cuidado; A aproximação da maternagem; O aproximar o mundo do hospital do mundo da criança e A atitude de compaixão. O vivenciar e o experienciar a facticidade do ser humano com os subtemas: O conviver com a finitude do ser e A ética no cuidado.

A wise Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Freedom is never given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed (King 1)." For as long as men and women have shared the planet, sexism has been a universal issue in civilization. In a social justice context, American society has found ways to oppress people for centuries. The Oxford Dictionary defines sexism as a "prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex ("sexism")." Voting rights in America were established in 1790, but it took years of petitioning at various women's rights conventions before the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution stating "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex" was passed in 1920 ("Nineteenth Amendment"). Traditionally, men were supposed to be the strong, decisive, driven, courageous, money-making breed, while women were expected to be the nurturing, affectionate, weak subordinates. Today, we find men and women working in careers previously linked with sexism; men as nurses and teachers, women as CEOs and factory workers. Statistics show that today there are an increasing number of women providing the financial support in their families. As with sexism, people also have been oppressed by racism for centuries. According to The Oxford Dictionary, racism is defined as a "prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior ("racism")." It has been argued that African Americans have been one of the most oppressed groups in America. Even after they were emancipated in 1865, it was nearly one hundred years later that their rights were protected with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Before the act's passing, African Americans were denied equal education, employment, housing property, and a political voice. My interest in this topic was peaked right around the same time I became interested in performing on the musical theatre stage. I got my start in local community theatres, and up until college, was the only African American cast in the productions. I started playing multiple ensemble roles per show, and throughout the years advanced myself to "supporting character" but never the lead. Admittedly, there were times when I wasn't as talented as the women who snagged the leading roles, but many a time when I was just as talented or more qualified for the role, it went to another woman - most times of Caucasian descent. What did they have that I didn’t have? When I got accepted into The University of Central Florida as a BFA Musical Theatre student, I auditioned for the plays and musicals every semester, and each season I began to see the same patterns of who was cast for each show. Roles I thought I would get often went to White actors. I felt victimized in this modern-day example of racism. But racism goes beyond black and White. Internal racism between the light-skinned and dark-skinned African American women I was competing with became a factor as well. There were many times when an audition notice called for an African American woman; however, an unsettling trend became very apparent to me; if the casting description was for a maid, or something of that nature, larger, dark-skinned women would get the majority of the callbacks, which would lead to them getting cast. On the flip side, if an audition notice called for an African American ingénue type, more of the slimmer, lighter-skinned women were called back and later cast. Has American society cast a racial stigma for African American beauty?
