Die interaksie van fisieke aktiwiteit met die onderlinge verbande tussen demografiese faktore, koronêre risiko-indeks en lewensgeluk by NG-predikante / Jeffrey Schalk KrielKriel, Jeffrey Schalk January 2004 (has links)
Several studies have already reported that ministers are experiencing high levels of
stress due to career demands, role conflict and personal situations (Roux, 1992:227;
Scholtz, 1996:134; Kellerman, 2000:28). Stress is detrimental to general health and is
the primary reason why ministers leave the ministry (Andrew, 1997:15, Virginia,
1998:50; Swart et al., 2000:339; Bisschoff & Schoeman, 2003:52). Research showed
that regular physical activity and maintaining a good level of physical fitness has
positive effects on physical and psycho-emotional health (Paffenbarger, 1994:860;
Margetts et al., 1999:97; Botha, 200237; Fourie, 2002:7). In this respect, it became
clear that participation in physical activity may decrease the risk of developing coronary
heart disease and other illness through it's likely buffering effect against the negative
effects of stress (Barlow et al., 1990:392; Bouchard & Despres, 1995:270; Stofan et al.,
1998: 1808; Le Roux, 2000:59; Schlebusch, 2000:50).
The objective of this study was firstly to determine interaction of physical activity on the
relationship between coronary risk index and happiness and quality of life of South
African Dutch Reformed ministers. Secondly, to determine the interaction of physical
activity with coronary risk index in respect of years of service, congregation size, co ministership
and congregation type, and thirdly, to study the interaction of physical
activity with happiness and quality of life in respect of the last mentioned demographic
parameters. The subjects were 340 male ministers of the Dutch reformed church, who
volunteered to participate in the study. The quality of participation in physical activity
was determined with Sharkey's (1997:432) physical activity index. The risk of
developing coronary heart disease was determined by Bjurnstrom and Alexiou's
(1978:524-525) coronary risk index assessment, while happiness or quality of life was
measured by using the Affectometer 2 of Kammann and Flett (1983:259).
The mean index of physical activity participation was 33.81 ± 32.30 which could be
classified as fair, although 32.2% of the subjects fell in the low activity group. The
coronary risk index showed that 19.9% of the population indicated a high risk of
developing coronary artery disease, while 48.9% indicated a low level of happiness and
quality of life. Significant (p10.05) relationships between physical activity, coronary risk
index, happiness and quality of life were found among the high activity and low activity
groups. Physical activity indicated a positive effect on the coronary risk index,
independent of happiness and quality of life, as well as years of service, congregation
size, co-ministership and congregation type. Physical activity also indicated a positive
effect on happiness and quality of life, independent of years of service, congregation
size, co-ministership and congregation type. In most cases physical activity also
showed a significant interaction on the relationships between coronary risk index and
years of service, congregation size, co-ministership and congregation type, as well as
on the relationships between happiness and quality of life and the last mentioned
demographic parameters.
This study indicated that the ministers of the Dutch Reformed Church who participated
in this study operated in a danger zone regarding their happiness and quality of life.
Physical activity can be regarded as a salutogenic and preventative modality on the
interaction of physical activity among the relationships between demographic factors,
coronary risk index, happiness and quality of life of Dutch Reformed ministers. It was
also concluded that physical activity can be regarded as a salutogenic modality in the
physical and psychological wellness of South African ministers of religion. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Human Movement Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

The introduction of Magdalena Andersson - why now and why her? : A single case study of Sweden´s first female prime ministerOlsson, Emma January 2021 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the introduction of the first ever Swedish female prime minister, Magdalena Andersson, by comparing her to a theoretical framework consistent with factors which are generally thought to facilitate the emergence of female prime ministers. Factors within two different perspectives: the party political - and the personal perspective, are gathered. The former includes factors concerning the political party of which the woman of interest has become party leader which then led to a prime ministership. The latter includes individual factors about who these women are in terms of their social backgrounds and personalities. Previous research is used as a way of collecting information on what factors have prevailed the emergence of female prime ministers and six different factors especially stand out and thus make up the theoretical framework. In order to analyze Andersson in comparison to the theoretical framework, this single case is tested by using a qualitative text analysis method. Different text material sources are used as dependent on the different factors being tested. The results show that nearly all of the factors were present during the introduction of Andersson. However, it also becomes clear that other factors might also have affected the introduction of Andersson, factors which could be relevant to take into account in further studies on the subject of female prime ministers.
