On the Russian market, the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation and a number of large companies that are monopolists or oligopolists in various markets and areas of activity within the fuel and energy sector, such as PJSC Gazprom, PJSC NK Rosneft, PJSC NOVATEK, are responsible for the development and operation of this sphere. The activities of these companies are focused on production, transportation and export deliveries, as well as the technological development of fuel and energy resources and methods of their application. However, the development of the fuel and energy complex is impossible without state support, namely, without the participation of the Council of the Federation of the Russian Federation, the President of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation. State support contributes to the receipt of subsidies, financial loans and incentives to companies in the fuel and energy complex for the effective and active development of innovative technologies and improving the standard of living of society in various constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The most effective way to develop the fuel and energy complex and apply technologies in the country for its development and increase the level of well-being are state programs. The state program is an instrument of state regulation that ensures the achievement of long-term goals and objectives by using available resources and identifies companies whose participation will contribute to the favorable implementation of the program. In addition to the fact that the process of developing a state program is laborious, it should be noted that the implementation process is complex. It is necessary to develop an effective strategy for the development and implementation of government programs, focusing on the production capabilities of participating companies, given the relevance and need for the development and implementation of government programs for society. Mandatory factors should be consumer needs and desires, which should be guided and satisfied through the implementation of state programs. For their full satisfaction, it is necessary to systematize and organize the effective and appropriate performance of all functional participants in state programs, as well as provide the necessary resources for their favorable implementation. The best way to achieve the above aspects is to use a marketing and project approach in the management and implementation of government programs, the use of tools that help to take into account all the necessary parameters, an in-depth analysis of the market, a thorough analysis of consumers and their needs, development of an implementation strategy, determination of a development vector, and most importantly, developing an effective government program. / На российском рынке за развитие и функционирование данной сферы отвечает Министерство энергетики Российской Федерации и ряд крупных компаний являющихся монополистами или олигополистами на различных рынках и направлениях деятельности в рамках ТЭК, такие как ПАО «Газпром», ПАО «НК «Роснефть», ПАО «НОВАТЭК», ПАО «Россетти», ПАО «Лукойл» и другие. Деятельность данных компаний ориентирована на добычу, транспортировку и экспортные поставки, а также технологическое развитие топливно-энергетических ресурсов и способов их применения. Однако, развитие ТЭК невозможно без государственной поддержки, а именно без участия Совета федерации РФ, Президента РФ и Министерства энергетики РФ. Государственная поддержка способствует получению субсидий, финансовых займов и льгот компаниям топливно-энергетического комплекса для эффективного и активного развития инновационных технологий и повышения уровня жизни общества в разных субъектах Российской Федерации. Наиболее действенным способом развития топливно-энергетического комплекса и применения технологий в стране для ее развития и повышения уровня благосостояния, являются государственные программы. Государственная программа — это инструмент государственного регулирования, обеспечивающий достижение перспективных целей и задач путем использования имеющихся ресурсов и определяющий компании, участие которых будет способствовать благоприятной реализации программы. Помимо того, что процесс разработки государственной программы трудоемкий, необходимо отметить, что и процесс реализации сложный. Необходимо разработать эффективную стратегию по разработке и реализации государственных программ, ориентируясь на производственные возможности компаний-участников, учитывая актуальность и необходимость разработки и реализации государственных программ для общества. Обязательными факторами должны являться потребительские потребности и желания, на которые следует ориентироваться и удовлетворять их посредством реализации государственных программ. Для их полноценного удовлетворения необходимо систематизировать и организовать эффективную и целесообразную работоспособность всех функциональных участников государственных программ, а также обеспечивать необходимыми ресурсами для их благоприятной реализации. Наилучшим способом для достижения вышеупомянутых аспектов будет применение маркетингового и проектного подхода в управлении и реализации государственных программ, применение инструментов которых способствуют учету всех необходимых параметров, глубокому анализу рынка, тщательному анализу потребителей и их потребностей, разработке стратегии реализации, определения вектора развития и самое главное, разработке эффективной государственной программы.

La cancel culture (culture de l'annulation) est depuis quelques années une pratique en ligne populaire, mais controversée. Souvent par milliers, les utilisateurs de réseaux sociaux se rassemblent pour dénoncer publiquement et tenter de minimiser la présence en ligne d’une personnalité publique ou d’une entreprise qu'ils jugent problématique, leur fureur atteignant parfois des sommets impressionnants. Considérant l'impact de cette pratique, nous nous sommes interrogées sur la manière dont elle est perçue et vécue par les personnes qui y participent. Cette étude exploratoire définit d'abord la culture de l'annulation à travers diverses modalités numériques et sociohistoriques, puis analyse les réponses de 19 individus ayant participé à des annulations en ligne. Ces étapes ont permis de découvrir pourquoi les gens décident « d’annuler » et d'explorer les expressions de leurs participations. Finalement, c'est surtout le désir de défendre leurs propres valeurs et les communautés marginalisées qui sont ressorties comme les principales motivations de leurs annulations. / Cancel culture has been a popular, but controversial online practice for the past few years. Often by thousands, social media users gather to publicly denounce and attempt to minimise the online presence of a public figure or company they deem problematic, their fury sometimes attaining impressive heights. Considering the impact of this practice, it is worth asking how it is perceived and experienced by the people concerned. This exploratory study first defines cancel culture through diverse digital and sociohistorical modalities, and then analyses the responses of 19 subjects who have participated in online cancellations. These steps served to discover exactly why people canceled and to explore the expressions of their participations. In the end, it was mostly the desire to stand up for their own values and for marginalized communities that stood out as their main motivators for canceling.

Den 1 juli 1994 trädde lagen (1994:137) om mottagandet av asylsökande barn i kraft och i den lagen regleras Migrationsverkets huvudansvar i denna fråga. Men den 1 juli 2006 trädde en reform av lagen i kraft gällande mottagandet, i syfte att förbättra processen. Lagändringen innebar att kommunerna istället skulle tillhandahålla boendet för de ensamkommande barn som kommer till Sverige på grund av att den kompetens, erfarenhet och stöd som krävs för att möta barn i sådana här situationer finns hos socialtjänsten inom kommunerna. Tidigare forskning har kartlagt och identifierat möjligheter och utmaningar gällande att arbeta i denna samverkansprocess. En av möjligheterna är den samlade kunskapen och en av utmaningarna är den brist på kompetens som finns i olika delar av processen.Denna uppsats tar avstamp i de resultat som tidigare nämnd forskning har resulterat i. Vi kan dock inte anta och utgå ifrån att samma utmaningar och möjligheter som identifierades i tidigare forskning förekommer i det studieobjekt som vi ska undersöka. Därför ämnar denna uppsats att beskriva den samverkansprocess som sker mellan aktörerna, Migrationsverket, Länsstyrelsen, Socialstyrelsen, Malmö Stad, transitboende, Region Skåne samt Sveriges Kommuner och Landsting vid mottagandet av de ensamkommande flyktingbarnen. Detta för att ta reda på om samma eller eventuellt andra utmaningar och möjligheter upplevs och hur de hanteras. Kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts med 7 aktörer, 9 respondenter. Intervjumaterialet har kodats och teman har identifierats ur detta material som sedan analyserats och diskuterats. Uppsatsens resultat visar att liknande möjligheter och utmaningar som tidigare identifierats råder även i denna samverkansprocess. Kunskap och brist på kompetens är ett genomgående tema som kan grunda sig i flertalet orsaker. En tydligare gemensam målformulering, strukturerad uppföljning och större fokus på de kommuner som tar emot ensamkommande barn är några av de saker som skulle kunna underlätta och förbättra mottagandet. / A study on how seven participants are experiencing challenges and opportunities in the cooperation process at the reception of unaccompanied refugee children and how these are handledOn 1 of July 1994 the law (1994:137) of reception of asylum-seeking children was instituted. The law regulated the Migration Board's primary responsibility in this matter. But the 1 of July 2006 an amended law in force regarding the reception of unaccompanied refugee children was instituted, in order to improve the process. The change in the law meant that municipalities should instead provide accommodation for unaccompanied refugee children who come to Sweden because of the skills, experience and support necessary to meet the children in these situations is situated at the social services within municipalities. Previous research has identified opportunities and challenges of working in such a cooperation process. One of the possibilities is the collective knowledge and one of the challenges is the lack of competence that exists in some organizations.This paper builds on the results previously mentioned research has resulted in. However, we cannot assume that the same challenges and opportunities identified in previous research appear in the study, which we will investigate. Therefore, this paper intends to describe the cooperation process that takes place between the participants, when unaccompanied refugee children arrives to Sweden, to find out whether the same or any other challenges and opportunities are perceived and how they are handled. Qualitative interviews were conducted with seven participants, nine respondents. The interviews were coded and themes were identified from this material which is then analyzed and discussed. The results of the paper show that similar opportunities and challenges identified earlier also exist in this cooperation process. Knowledge and lack of competence are a recurring theme that can be carried out in several causes. A distinct collective goal setting, more structured follow- up and more focus on the municipalities, which already receive unaccompanied refugee children, are some of the things that could facilitate and improve the reception.

An increase in distributed workspaces are influencing the way people work and thereby how meetings and presentations are conducted, making hybrid settings the standard for many organizations. Previous research has shown that hybrid settings decrease engagement due to technical issues, lack of inclusiveness, changing social dynamics and difficulties in evaluating participant engagement. Due to the need to diminish the negative effect the hybrid setting has, this study aims to evaluate the effect Audience Engagement Platforms have on increasing and evaluating engagement. The study was conducted by interviewing 31 users and non-users of Audience Engagement Platforms (AEPs) on meeting and presentation engagement, with 6 of them focusing on the hybrid setting. Thereafter a survey was conducted with AEP users on functionalities and effect on social dynamics. The interviewees generally agreed that anonymity and the possibility of presentation interaction were important aspects of the platform. Most hosts traditionally used visual cues as methods of engagement evaluation, and a diverse set of AEP use cases were described for all meeting and presentation types. The survey showed that all evaluated functionalities had a positive impact on engagement, where Wordclouds, Rankings and Quizzes increased perceived engagement the most. Furthermore, voluntary Likes, Reactions, Comments and Q&A from the participants was both perceived to increase engagement and suitable for evaluating participant engagement. In conclusion, the platform was shown to increase engagement both due to its platform characteristics as well as its functionalities. Anonymity was an important characteristic for lowering the barriers to participation and democratizing each input. Also, sharing the same interaction medium between remote and co-located participants helped to create a shared sense of belonging. Highly scored engagement features in the survey, such as Wordclouds and Rankings, can be both moderately low-effort in terms of how active a participant must be to give input on, whilst still directly asking each participant to give their opinion on a subject or statement. The quiz function was rated highly, which some interviewees suggested was due to its competitive nature. During the interviews however, many interviewees put a large emphasis on asking questions on a subject to be an important engagement tool, which would mostly correlate to the open-ended question functionality. The evaluation of engagement was concluded to be mostly helped by the functionalities Likes, Comments and the Q&A, as they are signs of voluntary participation. However, as the actual engagement level may not be correctly interpreted through the usage of these functionalities, it may still be insufficient to do a  correct evaluation. / En ökning av distribuerade arbetsplatser påverkar hur folk arbetar och har gjort den hybrida miljön till standard för många organisationer. Tidigare forskning har visat att hybrida möten har minskat engagemang på grund av tekniska problem, bristande delaktighet, förändrad social dynamik och svårigheter att utvärdera deltagarnas engagemang. På grund av behovet av att minska den negativa effekten den hybrida miljön har på engagemang, syftar denna studie till att utvärdera effekten Publik Engagerande Plattformar (AEPs) har på att öka och utvärdera engagemang. Studien genomfördes genom att intervjua 31 användare och icke-användare av AEPs om mötes-och presentationsengagemang, varav sex av dem fokuserade på den hybrida aspekten. Därefter genomfördes en undersökning med AEP-användare om dess funktionaliteter och effekt på social dynamik. Intervjupersonerna var generellt överens om att anonymitet och möjligheten till interaktion i presentationen var viktiga funktioner i plattformen. De flesta mötesledare använde visuella signaler som metod för utvärderin gav engagement, och användningsområden för AEPs beskrevs för alla typer av möten och presentationer. Undersökningen visade att alla utvärderade funktionaliteter hade en positiv inverkan på engagemanget, där Wordclouds, quiz och rankningar ökade engagemanget mest. Vidare upplevdes frivilliga gillningar, reaktioner, kommentarer och Q&A från deltagarna att både öka engagemanget och vara lämpliga för att utvärdera engagemang. Sammanfattningsvis visades plattformen öka engagemanget både på grund av dess plattformsegenskaper såväl som dess funktionaliteter. Anonymitet var en viktig aspekt för att sänka barriären för deltagande och demokratisera input. Att dela samma interaktionsmedium mellan distansbelägna och samlokaliserade deltagare bidrog också till att skapa en delad känsla av tillhörighet. Högt rankade funktioner i undersökningen, såsom Wordcloud och Rankningar, kan ses ha både relativt lågt krävd aktiv insats från deltagare att besvara, samtidigt som man direkt ber varje deltagare att ge sina synpunkter på ett ämne. Quiz fick högt betyg, vilket några intervjupersoner menade berodde på dess tävlingsaspekt. Under intervjuerna lade dock många intervjupersoner stor vikt vid att ställa frågor som ett viktigt verktyg för engagemang, vilket främst skulle korrelera med funktionen Open-ended Questions. Resultaten visade också att mötesledare får hjälp av gilla-markeringar, kommentarer och Q&A, för att utvärdera engagemang. Men eftersom den faktiska engagemangsnivån troligtvis inte kan tolkas korrekt genom användningen av dessa funktioner, kan det fortfarande vara otillräckligt för att göra en rättvis utvärdering.

No / The Versatile and Ubiquitous Secret Sharing System, a cloud data repository secure access and a web based authentication scheme. It is designed to implement the sharing, distribution and reconstruction of sensitive secret data that could compromise the functioning of an organisation, if leaked to unauthorised persons. This is carried out in a secure web environment, globally. It is a threshold secret sharing scheme, designed to extend the human trust security perimeter. The system could be adapted to serve as a cloud data repository and secure data communication scheme. A secret sharing scheme is a method by which a dealer distributes shares of a secret data to trustees, such that only authorised subsets of the trustees can reconstruct the secret. This paper gives a brief summary of the layout and functions of a 15-page secure server-based website prototype; the main focus of a PhD research effort titled ‘Cryptography and Computer Communications Security: Extending the Human Security Perimeter through a Web of Trust’. The prototype, which has been successfully tested, has globalised the distribution and reconstruction processes. / Petroleum Technology Development Fund

Le biais de sélection par rapport au sexe (ou biais de sexe) représente une différence systématique des proportions d’hommes et de femmes entre un échantillon de participants et leur population, ce qui peut miner la validité d’une étude. La recherche sur le stress humain est susceptible au biais de sexe étant donné la présence de facteurs y étant généralement associés, principalement les protocoles invasifs – contenant des éléments douloureux, inconfortables ou menaçants pour les participants. La présente étude a vérifié si les proportions d’hommes et de femmes des études sur le stress varient selon 1) le niveau d’invasion d’une étude en stress (invasif ou non invasif) et selon 2) des facteurs exploratoires (p. ex. pays, méthode de recrutement). Deux domaines hors stress possédant des protocoles invasifs (douleur expérimentale) et non invasifs (mémoire) ont été utilisés comme domaines contrôles. Dans cette enquête transversale de la littérature, les proportions d’hommes et de femmes ont été recueillies dans 324 études contenant des protocoles invasifs ou non invasifs, représentant un total de 23 611 participants, dont 42,18 % d’hommes. La représentativité des sexes a varié selon le niveau d’invasion dans les domaines du stress et hors stress, les hommes davantage représentés dans les études invasives que dans les études non invasives. Les résultats indiquent que les facteurs exploratoires analysés peuvent tous être associés au sexe. Cette étude a identifié la présence de facteurs pouvant provoquer un biais de sexe en recherche sur le stress humain, ouvrant la voie aux recherches souhaitant approfondir la généralisation des résultats. / Sex selection bias (or sex bias) refers to a systematic difference in the proportions of men and women between a sample of participants and their population, which may undermine the validity of a study. Human stress research is vulnerable to sex bias, given the presence of factors typically associated with it, primarily invasive protocols — containing painful, uncomfortable, or threatening elements for participants. The present study has verified whether the proportions of men and women in stress studies differ by 1) the invasiveness of a study (invasive or non-invasive) and by 2) exploratory factors (e.g. country, recruitment method). Two non-stress domains with invasive (experimental pain) and non-invasive (memory) protocols were used as control domains. In a cross-sectional survey of the literature, the proportions of men and women were collected from 324 studies containing invasive or non-invasive protocols, representing a total of 23 611 participants, 42,18 % of whom were men. Sex representativeness differed across invasiveness levels in both the stress and non-stress domains with men being more represented in invasive than in non-invasive studies. Results indicate that the exploratory factors analyzed may all be associated with sex. This study identified the presence of factors that may cause sex bias in human stress research, opening the door to research wishing to further investigate the generalizability of results.

Cette thèse analyse le processus par lequel les entreprises d’insertion tentent de neutraliser la situation d’exclusion des populations marginalisées. Il s’agit des individus souvent sans emploi, sans revenu et sans protection sociale qui se battent pour exister socialement. Ils sont diversement nommés et appréhendés par la théorie sociologique, soit en termes « d’inutiles au monde » ou de « désaffiliés », soit en termes de « personnes disqualifiées », de « rebuts humains » ou de « vaincus dans la lutte pour le capital symbolique », pour l’importance sociale. En accordant leur intérêt exclusivement à ces exclus et en transformant le revenu d’assistance sociale en salaire de travail, les entreprises d’insertion jouent, depuis les années 1980, un rôle crucial dans leur lutte pour l’existence sociale et les placent dans la lisière du travailleur et de l’assisté social pour les transformer et les insérer dans le marché du travail. Nous saisissons l’encastrement social et l’émergence de ces entreprises comme un vecteur d’inclusion sociale en lien avec la dépossession sociale qui s’opère par la montée du travail atypique, l’obligation d’activation sociale et le recul de la protection sociale pour comprendre ce qui se joue réellement dans ces organismes. À savoir, en quoi et comment leurs interventions permettent-elles de réhabiliter et de réinsérer les vaincus postfordistes dans le marché du travail ? Quelle est leur mission véritable ? S’agit-il d’une mission d’adaptation des travailleurs aux besoins du marché du travail, d’activation des prestataires potentiels de l’assistance sociale, de requalification des exclus ou de lutte contre l’exclusion et la pauvreté ? Nous inscrivant dans la continuité de Pierre Bourdieu pour qui « le monde social, armé de ce savoir, peut défaire ce que le monde social a fait », cette thèse interroge la mission de ces entreprises en rapport avec le mandat reçu d’Emploi-Québec dans la perspective de la théorie des champs de l’auteur. Laquelle perspective définit l’exclusion et l’insertion sociales comme la position occupée dans l’espace social, résultant du rapport des espèces de capital possédé à ses habitus, les dispositions sociales héritées de sa trajectoire sociale. Ce faisant, l’exclusion sociale reste et demeure un processus de dépossession sociale, c’est-à-dire de décapitalisation, la carence de ressources et pouvoirs nécessaires et indispensables à l’occupation et au maintien d’une position sociale donnée dans un champ. Dès lors, renverser l’exclusion sociale est bien possible et correspond à la mise en œuvre d’un processus de repossession sociale, c’est-à-dire de capitalisation ou de recapitalisation, entendue comme la dotation des exclus en ressources et pouvoirs nécessaires pour payer leurs droits d’entrée dans le champ, s’y investir et jouer le jeu. Nous considérons cet objet d’analyse en mettant en œuvre un double dispositif méthodologique. D’une part, nous avons donné la parole à des dirigeants et intervenants d’entreprises d’insertion qui ont accepté volontiers de nous parler de leurs récits de pratique, c’est-à-dire de ce qu’ils ont fait et font ordinairement avec les bénéficiaires. Ce qui permet de retracer les formes d’interventions pour comprendre ce qui se fait et se défait dans les entreprises afin de doter les bénéficiaires en capitaux nécessaires à leur insertion dans le marché du travail. D’autre part, nous avons donné la parole à des participants afin de comprendre les faits structurants de trois moments de leurs trajectoires sociale et professionnelle, les moments ante-parcours, in-parcours et post-parcours d’insertion. À partir d’un matériau de 69 entretiens en profondeur (36 avec des membres dirigeants et intervenants et 33 avec des participants et participantes), nous analysons la formation des travailleurs et travailleuses précaires et polyvalents, dotés d’un méta-capital. C’est le capital spécifique de ce sous-champ d’insertion, la production des habitus professionnels, devant fonctionner comme un capital à caractère général et universalisant, appelé « les compétences transférables ». Les portraits-types de bénéficiaires permettent ainsi de révéler en quoi le parcours d’insertion est propice pour l’évolution de leur trajectoire. / Abstract This thesis analyzes the process by which integration enterprises try to neutralize the exclusion of marginalized populations. These are individuals who are often unemployed, without income and without social protection who struggle to exist socially. They are variously named and understood by sociological theory, either in terms of "useless in the world" or "disaffiliated", or in terms of "disqualified persons", "human rejects" or "vanquished in the struggle for the world". By giving their interest exclusively to those excluded and by transforming the income from social assistance into working wages, integration enterprises have, since the 1980s, played a crucial role in their struggle for social existence and placed them on the fringes of society. We understand the social embeddedness and the emergence of these companies as a vector of social inclusion in connection with social dispossession which takes place through the rise of atypical work, the obligation of social activation and the decline in social protection to understand what is really going on in these organizations. Namely, how do their interventions make it possible to rehabilitate and reintegrate the defeated post-Fordists into the labor market? What is their real mission? Is it a mission of adapting workers to the needs of the labor market, activating potential social assistance providers, re-qualification of the excluded or the fight against exclusion and poverty? In line with Pierre Bourdieu for whom “the social world, armed with this knowledge, can undo what the social world has done”, this thesis questions the mission of these companies in relation to the mandate received from Emploi-Québec from the perspective of the author's field theory. This perspective defines social exclusion and inclusion as the position occupied in social space, resulting from the relationship of the capital possessed to its habits, the social arrangements inherited from its social trajectory. In doing so, social exclusion remains a process of social dispossession, that is to say of decapitalization, the lack of resources and powers necessary and essential to the occupation and maintenance of a given social position in a field. Therefore, reversing social exclusion is quite possible and corresponds to the implementation of a process of social repossession, that is to say of capitalization or recapitalization, understood as the endowment of the excluded with the necessary resources and powers to pay their entry fees to the field, invest in it and play the game. We demonstrate here this object of analysis by implementing a double methodological device. On the one hand, we gave the floor to managers and workers in integration enterprises who willingly agree to talk about their practices. This makes it possible to trace the forms of intervention in order to understand what is done and what is undone in companies in order to provide the beneficiaries with the capital necessary for their integration into the labor market. On the other hand, we gave the floor to participants to understand the structuring facts of three moments in their social and professional trajectories, the pre-journey, in-journey and post-integration moments. Using material from 69 in-depth interviews (36 with executive members and speakers and 33 with participants), we analyze the fabric of precarious and versatile workers, endowed with a meta-capital. It is the specific capital of this insertion sub-field, the production of professional habits, to function as a general and universalizing capital, called "transferable skills". The typical portraits of beneficiaries thus make it possible to reveal the opportunity of the integration process for the development of their trajectories.

The main purpose of this study was to determine: * If there is a relationship between certain personality traits and participation in sport. * Whether cricket players possess certain personality traits in general and with regard to levels of play, playing positions and age. The literature study indicated that the study of personality tend to be complex and showed a relationship between personality traits and participation in sport. Furthermore the literature study showed that personality is not static, but dependant on acquired traits and responses. The empirical study revealed that certain personality traits in cricket players figure stronger than others regarding levels of play, playing positions and age, for example cricket players on club level tend to have more self control than school players and bowlers tend to show a larger tendency to disregard social rules and tend to be more enthusiastic, and greater risk-takers than batsmen and wicketkeepers. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.

The psychological effects on, and the experience of divorce by women and children are widely researched. However little data is available on how divorce affects men and how they experience a marriage break-up. This study aims to explore and describe the `voices' (experiences) of divorce from three men's perspectives. The randomly selected sample for this study consisted of three participants'. Data was collected in the form of the participants own written testimonials. Out of the written testimonials themes were identified and explored by the researcher. This was done from an ecosystemic epistemological stance within the post-modern paradigm, with the symbolic use of music / popular songs to further `enhance' the exploration and description of the research participants' experiences of divorce. A qualitative methodological design was followed, allowing `unique' and personal `meaning' and experience to emerge. This study's results were presented in the form of `integrative' and descriptive text. Overall the study explicated unique descriptions of men's experiences of divorce with the creative application of music to enhance descriptions and experiences. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
