The current study aimed at exploring the potential benefits of integrating process drama, an interactive teaching methodology, into Life Education curriculum on anti-school bullying. The program effectiveness was evaluated through the enhancement in students’ empathy, including both cognitive and affective empathy, helping behavior and tendency as well as their knowledge on the basic concepts of bullying. Data was collected through self-reports. 141 S.2 students were recruited and randomly assigned to two groups, experiencing an anti-bullying intervention program through process drama (experimental) or conventional teaching methods (control). The study found that students in both groups showed enhancement in all three aspects, while the increase in affective empathy and helping tendency of the experimental group was significantly larger than the control group. / published_or_final_version / Educational Psychology / Master / Master of Social Sciences

The aim of my DPhil is to identify educational practices predictive of students' self-regulation development during early childhood. Specifically, I will analyze the Tools of the Mind preschool curriculum (Tools), which emphasizes students' self-regulation cultivation as its paramount aim. Since its development in 1993, Tools has spread to schools in the United States, Canada, and South America. In the face of Tools' proliferation, two questions emerge: does Tools significantly improve children's self-regulation skills? And, if so, then which of its effective elements could be applied across various educational contexts? This dissertation contains two studies. In the first, I will systematically review extant Tools research and then execute a multilevel meta-analysis of the quantitative results. Study one serves three purposes: 1) to identify all studies in the existing Tools evidence base, 2) to estimate an aggregate curricular effect, and 3) to determine how that effect varies across contexts and student characteristics. Thus, study one will assess whether Tools, at the curricular level, improves students' self-regulation. By contrast, study two will involve more granular analyses of the discrete learning activities that collectively comprise Tools. Specifically, study two will analyze child-level self-regulation and teacher-level Tools implementation data for 1145 preschool children in 80 classrooms across six American school districts. I will employ multilevel structural equation models to assess which Tools activities are associated with students' self-regulation growth, which are associated with decline, and which exhibit no association at all. Ultimately, this dissertation features the first Tools meta-analysis as well as the first analysis of specific Tools instructional activities. It is hoped that these analyses will identify educational practices predictive of self-regulation development both within and beyond the Tools curricular context.

This study presents an insider’s view concerning the significant influence of American fundamentalism at Prairie Bible Institute (Three Hills, Alberta, Canada) during the tenure of the school’s co-founder and primary leader, Leslie Earl Maxwell. During much of the period covering 1922-1980, PBI rivaled well-known American schools such as Moody Bible Institute, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (BIOLA) and Columbia Bible College in Columbia, South Carolina, in size. These schools were also highly efficient in producing hundreds of missionaries and Christian workers to serve the fundamentalist cause in North America and around the world. As a belated response to Dr. John Stackhouse, Jr.’s portrayal of PBI in his 1993 book, Canadian Evangelicalism in the Twentieth Century: An Introduction to Its Character, this thesis offers clarification and modification to Stackhouse’s work regarding how PBI during the Maxwell era should be viewed by students of church history. It is argued here that the ubiquitous influence of the United States of America on Canadian life is clearly visible in the nature of the Christian fundamentalism that prevailed at PBI under Maxwell’s leadership. The work thereby lends a certain amount of credibility to the suggestions made by some scholars that PBI during Maxwell’s career might legitimately be considered an outpost of American fundamentalism. Employing primarily a quantitative assessment of the evidence in combination with personal anecdotes and a few basic statistics, the thesis reveals that Maxwell’s personality and rhetoric were consistently more militant than Stackhouse allows. PBI’s affinity for many of the distinctives of American fundamentalist theology and culture are also documented. Such an approach serves the additional purpose of enabling the writer to call into question the utility of considering militancy the defining characteristic of twentieth-century evangelicalism when considered from a post-9/11 perspective. It also enables a challenge of Stackhouse’s assumption that what he identifies as “sectish” Canadian evangelicalism is ultimately as substantially different from American fundamentalism as the Canadian scholar infers. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.Th.

INTRODUÇÃO: No Brasil, no período compreendido entre 2013 a 2015, a terapia tripla com boceprevir (BOC) ou telaprevir (TVR) foi o tratamento padrão para pacientes infectados pelo vírus da hepatite C (VHC) genótipo 1. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a efetividade e a segurança da terapia tripla com BOC ou TVR, no contexto de vida real, em pacientes portadores de hepatite C crônica genótipo 1 tratados em centros de referência no Brasil. Foi também objetivo deste estudo, investigar os fatores preditores para obtenção da resposta viral sustentada (RVS) e fatores preditores da ocorrência de eventos adversos sérios (EAS) associados a essa modalidade terapêutica. MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo multicêntrico, observacional e retrospectivo, que incluiu pacientes monoinfectados pelo VHC genótipo 1 que iniciaram o tratamento com interferon peguilado (Peg-IFN), ribavirina e BOC ou TVR . Dados demográficos, clínicos, virológicos e eventos adversos (EA) foram coletados durante o tratamento e seguimento. A análise dos fatores preditores da RVS e de EAS foi realizada por meio do modelo de regressão de Poisson com variância robusta. RESULTADOS: Dos 715 pacientes analisados, 56,1% eram do sexo masculino, com média de idade de 54,1 ± 10,1 anos, 59% eram portadores de cirrose hepática e 67,1% tinham sido tratados previamente. Foram tratados com TVR, 557 pacientes (77,9%), e com BOC, 158 (22,1%). Pela análise de intenção de tratamento, a RVS geral foi de 56,6% (IC 95%, 52,9 - 60,3), com uma efetividade semelhante em ambos os grupos (51,9% [BOC] versus (vs.) 58% [TVR], P = 0,190). Os pacientes cirróticos tiveram uma menor taxa de RVS comparado aos não cirróticos (46,9% vs. 70,6%, P < 0,001). Na análise múltipla, a obtenção de RVS foi associada com a ausência de cirrose hepática (P < 0,001), antecedente de recidiva viral após tratamento prévio (P < 0,001), contagem de plaquetas no pré-tratamento acima de 100.000/mm3 (P < 0,001) e obtenção de resposta viral rápida (P < 0,001). A taxa de descontinuação do tratamento foi de 34,8%, sendo a ocorrência de EA (16,1%) e a falha virológica (15,9%) as principais causas. Em relação à segurança do tratamento, 90,1% dos pacientes (IC 95%, 87,6 - 92,2) apresentaram algum EA durante o tratamento, sendo que 44,2% dos pacientes (IC 95%, 40,5 - 47,9) apresentaram EAS. A anemia foi o EA mais comum em ambos os grupos (59,5% [BOC] vs. 74,5% [TVR], P < 0,001). Houve maior ocorrência de EAS nos pacientes cirróticos comparados aos não cirróticos (50,7% vs. 34,8%, P < 0,001). Sexo feminino (P < 0,001), idade acima de 65 anos (P = 0,008), diagnóstico de cirrose hepática (P = 0,019), concentração de hemoglobina pré-tratamento alterada (P < 0,001) e contagem de plaquetas abaixo de 100.000/mm3 no pré-tratamento (P < 0,001) foram associados à ocorrência de EAS. Seis óbitos (0,8%) ocorreram. CONCLUSÃO: A terapia tripla com BOC ou TVR apresentou uma taxa de RVS superior ao tratamento padrão anterior (Peg-IFN e ribavirina). Contudo, este tratamento apresentou uma alta taxa de EAS, principalmente em pacientes com doença hepática avançada / INTRODUCTION: In Brazil, from 2013 until 2015, triple therapy with boceprevir (BOC) or telaprevir (TVR) was the standard treatment for patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of triple therapy with BOC or TVR, in real life context, in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 treated at reference centers in Brazil. It was also the objective of this study to investigate the predictive factors for obtaining sustained viral response (SVR) and factors predictive of the occurrence of serious adverse events (SAE) associated with this therapeutic modality. METHODS: This was a multicenter, observational, retrospective study that included HCV infected patients genotype 1 who started treatment with pegylated interferon, ribavirin and BOC or TVR from July 2013 until April 2014, from 15 centers of reference in Brazil. Demographic, clinical, virological, and adverse events (AE) data were collected during treatment and follow-up. The analysis of predictive factors of SVR and SAE was performed using the Poisson regression model with robust variance. RESULTS: Of the 715 patients analyzed, 56.1% were males, mean age was 54.1 ± 10.1 years, 59% had hepatic cirrhosis and 67.1% had been previously treated. They were treated with TVR, 557 patients (77.9%), and with BOC, 158 (22.1%). By intention-to-treat analysis, overall SVR was 56.6% (95%CI, 52.9 - 60.3), with similar effectiveness in both groups (51.9% [BOC] versus (vs.) 58% [TVR], P = 0.190). Cirrhotic patients had a lower SVR rate compared to non-cirrhotic patients (46.9% vs. 70.6%, P < 0.001). In the multiple analysis, SVR acquisition was associated with absence of hepatic cirrhosis (P < 0.001), previous viral relapse after previous treatment (P < 0.001), pre-treatment platelet count above 100,000/mm3 (P < 0.001) and rapid viral response (P < 0.001). The treatment discontinuation rate was 34.8%, with the occurrence of AE (16.1%) and virological failure (15.9%) being the main causes. Regarding treatment safety, 90.1% of the patients (95%CI, 87.6 - 92.2) presented some AE during treatment, and 44.2% of the patients (95%CI, 40.5 - 47,9) presented SAE. Anemia was the most common AE in both groups (59.5% [BOC] vs. 74.5% [TVR], P < 0.001). There was a higher occurrence of SAE in cirrhotic patients compared to non-cirrhotic patients (50.7% vs. 34.8%, P < 0.001). Female gender (P < 0.001), age above 65 years (P = 0.008), diagnosis of hepatic cirrhosis (P = 0.019), altered pre-treatment hemoglobin concentration (P < 0.001) and platelet count below 100,000/mm3 in the pre-treatment (P < 0.001) were associated with the occurrence of SAE. Six deaths (0.8%) occurred. CONCLUSION: Triple therapy with BOC or TVR showed a higher SVR rate than the previous standard treatment (Peg-IFN and ribavirin). However, this treatment had a high EAS rate, especially in patients with advanced liver disease
