Orthorexia Nervosa (ON) is the term for a proposed new eating disorder, used to describe a pathological obsession with healthy or ‘clean’ eating. For individuals with ON, the obsession with eating ‘healthy’ foods, and the elimination of foods considered ‘unhealthy’ or ‘impure’, results in impairment to social, physical, occupational and/or other areas of functioning. Whilst there is still debate as to whether ON describes a distinct eating disorder, and there is no consensus around diagnostic criteria as yet, ON is an emerging topic for research, with more cases coming to light both clinically, and in the media. Although some quantitative research has been carried out in ON, particularly focusing on the measurement and prevalence rates of this proposed disorder, no qualitative studies have been published to date to explore individuals’ personal experiences of ON. Thus, for this project, 40 pre-existing blog entries describing first-person experiences of ON from fifteen women bloggers were analysed using thematic analysis. Five key themes were identified: 1) confusion around diagnosis, 2) initial motivations for a healthier lifestyle, 3) fuelling the problem- social influences, 4) when healthy becomes unhealthy ..., and 5) avoidance, isolation and compensation. The clinical implications of these findings were explored, particularly focusing on the social context of ON, diagnostic crossover between ON and other eating disorders, and the role of fear, perfectionism and perceived control. Whilst the debate around the diagnosis of ON continues, these bloggers’ accounts suggest that ON is experienced as a legitimate and debilitating disorder, worthy of clinical and research investigation in its own right.

Denna studie är en undersökning av hur människor beskriver mening utifrån sig själva i förhållande till vår samtid. För detta ändamål berörs psykologiska områden som existentiell-, positiv- och religionspsykologi samt delar av religion och existentiell filosofi. Studiens empiri har framställts via intervjuer med fyra informanter som rekryterats genom ett bekvämlighetsurval på ett universitet i södra Sverige. Materialet har därefter tolkats och analyserats utifrån hermeneutisk metodik och tematiska analys. Vad som framkom i studien som betydelsefullt för uppfattningen av mening var frihet och informanternas föresats att ha en framtida familj, däremot uppfattades inte mening som en slutdestination eller ett mål utan det beskrevs som ett föränderligt förlopp där flera faktorer spelar in. / This study is a research on how people describe meaning from themselves in relation to our time. For this purpose, psychological areas such as existential, positive and religious psychology as well as parts of religion and existential philosophy has been utilized. The study’s empirical data has been gathered from interviews with four informants who have been recruited through a convenience sample at a university in southern Sweden. The material has subsequently been interpreted and analyzed based on hermeneutic methodology and thematic analysis. What emerged from the study as important for the perception of meaning was freedom and the informants' intention to have a future family, on the other hand, meaning was not considered a final destination or a goal, but it was described as a changing process in which several factors play a role.

This thesis explores the social construction of female online child sex offenders within Canadian newspapers from 2010 to 2017. While child sexual exploitation is not a new phenomenon, the nature of this threat, in terms of the ways in which it is facilitated, has changed significantly over the past decade. Notably, a key factor contributing to the sexual exploitation of children in today’s society is the Internet. The anonymity afforded by the Internet, the accessibility to the Internet, and the lack of accountability associated with the Internet (Cooper, 1998) all work together to create a social environment that is conducive to child sexual exploitation. This research explores this new phenomenon, as perpetrated by women. Informed by the social constructionist approach, relevant findings from a review of literature on the media representation of female offenders are then compared to findings from the examination of Canadian newspaper articles pertaining to female online child sex offenders to recognize similarities and differences between respective representations in the media. The results of this work suggest an increase from 2010 to 2017 in the number of Canadian media articles about female online child sex offenders as well as an increase in teacher representation in those crimes. As a result, a progression in the social construction of child sex offenders as well as teachers in Canada is presented.

There are different criteria that affect active leadership styles that enhance the role of a principal as an Instructional Leadership. However, many principals lack such criteria where a strong principal considered as an Instructional Leadership. To become Instructional Leaders, principals must transform their practices from managerial to instructional. They need to exercise their leadership by exhibiting the leadership styles in their role and character, or their role will merely perform administrative duties that are akin to an administrative position. Furthermore, a school principal as a leader should play an important role in enhancing teachers' satisfaction. This study investigated the moderating effect of four leadership styles Directive, Supportive, Participative, and Achievement-oriented (D, S, P, A) on Instructional Leadership and teachers' outcomes (job satisfaction, job expectancies and acceptance of leader). The study used mixed methods, qualitative survey and quantitative focus group to develop a model based upon empirical data. The findings are based on a survey of 536 participants including teachers, principals and senior chiefs at various levels of primary, elementary and secondary schools across the Kingdom of Bahrain. The statistical and thematic analysis of the data shows that there is a direct and positive relationship between Instructional Leaderships and teacher's outcomes when moderated by the four leadership styles. The contribution of this study is the empirically tested relationships between Path Goal Theory and Instructional Leadership which shows that there are statistically significant relationships between D, S, P, A and the relationship between Instructional Leadership and the teacher's job satisfaction, job expectancy and acceptance of leader. Focus group finding shows that Leadership styles D, S, P, A transforms Instructional Leadership into a form that enhances the leadership role in Kingdom of Bahrain that Transactional Leadership influences Job expectancy, whilst Referent Power influences acceptance of leaders.

Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / O objetivo desse trabalho é compreender como o design é utilizado no espaço expositivo para construir contexto, conteúdo e linguagem. Entender quais estratégias são usadas para projetar ambientes atraentes à visitação em vista a proporcionar experiências coletivas e individuais, contemplativas, espaciais (imersivas), sensoriais e interativas. Para tal analisamos a mudança do papel dos museus ao longo do tempo e montamos um panorama das instituições museológicas no Brasil nas últimas décadas. Selecionamos padrões de exibição instituídos historicamente em termos mundiais, já que o Brasil sofreu enorme influência cultural da Europa e dos Estados Unidos. Estabelecemos uma base de conceitos que envolvem a linguagem do projeto de exposições e museus temáticos, considerando aspectos como formas de aprendizagem do público, comportamento deste em relação ao objeto exposto, produção de conteúdo, produção de sentido, escolha de linguagem, intencionalidade, construção de experiência, mediação e interface. Analisamos como estudo de caso, o projeto de dois museus temáticos contemporâneos, o Museu da Língua Portuguesa e o Museu do Futebol, com a intenção de construir uma crítica ao projeto espacial-visual, entendendo as relações estabelecidas entre os objetos (previamente existentes ou projetados produtos, textos, imagens, vídeos), a forma como eles são expostos e as características do local escolhido para abrigar a exposição. / The aim of this work is to understand how design is used in exhibitions for building context, content and language. Understand which strategies are used to project environments that are attractive to visitors in order to provide individual and collective, contemplative, spacial (immersive), sensorial and interactive experiences. For these we analyzed the changing role of museums throughout the time and set up an overview of museum institutions in Brazil in the last decades. We have selected historically established exhibition display standards that spread globally, since Brazil has undergone enormous cultural influence of Europe and the USA. Also, we have established a background of language concepts at the base of exhibition projects and thematic museums, considering aspects such as the way public learns, public behavior in relation with an exposed object, content production, production of meaning, choice of languages, intentionality, experience building, mediation and interface, among other things. As a study case, we have analyzed two contemporary thematic museums (Museu da Língua Portuguesa and Museu do Futebol), trying to build a critical view to the visual-spatial project, understanding the relations between objects (pre-existing or projected - products, texts, images, videos), the way they are exposed and the characteristics of the site chosen to host the exhibition.

Empreendimentos imobiliários, em nível mundial, vem experimentando mudanças tecnológicas, a fim de melhorar sua compatibilidade com o meio ambiente. Diminuição e reaproveitamento dos efluentes são aspectos importantes, uma vez que estão relacionados diretamente com a saúde da população. Entretanto, essa preocupação não se aplica apenas à diminuição da emissão de esgotos, mas também a boa operação do sistema, destacando-se o uso da água para limpeza, rega de jardim e sanitários. Nesse sentido, escolheu-se como estudo de caso um parque temático onde procurou –se desenvolver e implantar de forma racional o uso dos recursos naturais locais levando em consideração o conceito de desenvolvimento sustentável. Assim, os fatores que levaram a empresa a investir no sistema de reúso de água foram: a preocupação com a utilização intensiva dos recursos hídricos e política de qualidade e ambiental da empresa. Este projeto então tem como objetivo demonstrar e analisar a viabilidade técnica de sistemas de captação, tratamento e reúso de efluentes estabelecendo uma proposta para reúso de água em empreendimentos imobiliários, tecnica e legalmente compatível com as condições internacionais, diagnosticando o atual sistema de tratamento dos esgotos domésticos do empreendimento estudado, especificando a qualidade da água para as diversas modalidades de reúso de água. Como conclusão comparou-se os limites estipulados pelo empreendedor com os limites impostos pela legislação internacional recomendando assim um monitoramento intensivo no sistema de desinfecção assim como a implantação de um sistema de gerenciamento ambiental eficiente voltado para o controle operacional do sistema de reúso. / Technological changes in real estate developments have been taking place across the world so as to improve their compatibility with the environment. Effluent reduction and reuse are critical issues, as they are directly related to the population’s health. However, such concern not only applies to the reduction of sewage discharge, but also to the proper system operation. The use of water for cleaning, garden watering and restrooms stands out. In that sense, a theme park – in which efforts were made to develop and implement in a streamlined manner the use of local natural resources while taking into account the sustainable development concept – has been selected as a case study. Thus, the factors that led the company to invest in the water reuse system include: the concern about the intensive use of water resources and the company’s quality and environmental policy. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to demonstrate and assess the technical feasibility of waste catchment, treatment and reuse systems as well as to put forward a proposal – technically and legally consistent with international standards – for water reuse in real estate development, while evaluating the current domestic waste treatment system of the venture under consideration and determining the water quality for the various water reuse methods. As a conclusion, the limits set by the developer have been compared with those imposed by the international law; intensive monitoring of the disinfection system and the implementation of an effective environmental management system focused on the operational control of the reuse system are recommended.

A pesquisa tem como objetivo geral apresentar um mapeamento temático das teses defendidas nos Programas de Pós-Graduação em Educação Física, no período de 1994 a 2008.

O corpus da pesquisa é formado por 333 teses defendidas em seis programas da área: Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Gama Filho, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Universidade Estadual Paulista e Universidade Católica de Brasília. A pesquisa é de natureza exploratória e a análise dos dados foi feita a partir de técnicas cientométricas revelando que os programas estão organizados em doze áreas de concentração e 42 linhas de pesquisa e que apresentam uma tendência de organização em torno de duas áreas (biodinâmica e cultura). O trabalho identificou 733 palavras-chaves, citadas 1073 vezes. Do total, 604 palavras aparecem uma única vez e as demais, mais de uma vez, indicando dispersão de termos e que esses se aproximam de uma linguagem natural. Demonstra, ainda, que a área carece de uma linguagem de especialidade. O mapeamento temático revelou o predomínio dos seguintes assuntos: Treinamento físico/desportivo (12,9%); Biomecânica (8,7%); Atividade física/desporto para grupos especiais (8,4%); Formação e atuação do professor/Educação Física e currículo (8,1%); Fisiologia (7,5%); Sociologia (6,6%) e Educação Física escolar/desporto escolar (6,3%). Demonstrou que existe boa coerência entre as temáticas abordadas, as áreas de concentração e as linhas de pesquisa, ainda que haja um grande número de linhas que apresenta baixa produção e que, em função de sua abrangência, abriguem uma dispersão de temas. / This research general aim is to survey thematically the defended thesis on Physical Education PhD Programme from 1994 to 2008. The specific aims are: to feature the PPGEF (Physical Education Postgraduate Programme) which have PhD course related to the year they have been created and its particular areas, research lines and amount of thesis defended; to identify the key-words used in the thesis; to identify the thesis subjects and relate it to its particular areas and research lines which were produced. The research corpus is composed for 333 thesis defended on six programmes: Universidade de São Paulo, Universidade Gama Filho, Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Universidade Estadual Paulista and Universidade Católica de Brasília. The nature of research is to explore and the data analysis were made from scientometrics techniques proving that the programmes are organized in twelve particular areas and 42 research lines that present a way of organizing around two areas ( biodynamics and culture) . The work indentified 733 key-words , mentioned 1073 times. From the total, 604 words appear only once and the others more than once pointing out dispersion of terms and those are close of a natural speech. It shows the lack of specific language of the area. The survey pointed the dominance of the following subjects: Physical/Sportive Training (12,9%), Biomechanics (8,7%) Physical Activity/Sportive to special groups (8,4%); Teacher Training/Physical Education and curriculum (8,1%); Physiology (7,5%); Sociology (6,6%) e Physical Education in school / sportive school (6,3%). It shows that there is a good coherence between the themes mentioned, specific areas and research lines, even though there is a big amount of research lines that present low production and that, because its range, nestle a theme dispersion.

O trabalho apresenta uma proposta de metodologia para diagnóstico de sistemas de distribuição de água através da elaboração, passo a passo, e de uso de simuladores hidráulicos apoiados por aplicativos de geoprocessamento. Utilizando-se de dados reais como o histórico operacional de vazamentos dentro da região adotada num intervalo de tempo, espera-se fornecer ao analista um instrumento de análise visual do comportamento hidráulico do setor em função de uma escala progressiva de ocorrências, mapeada através de cores, permitindo avaliar a qualidade do modelo hidráulico como um todo, corrigindo desvios para que o mesmo reproduza eficientemente o comportamento real da rede de distribuição. Através deste, esperase avaliar as consequências da variação das pressões e vazões durante o dia, subsidiando tomadas de decisão, permitindo avaliação das opções e a redução de riscos e investimentos desnecessários. / The work presents a proposed methodology for diagnosis of water distribution systems through the development, step-by-step and hydraulic simulators use supported by geoprocessing applications. Using real data and operational history of leaks within the region adopted a time interval, is expected to provide the analyst a tool for visual analysis of the hydraulic behavior of the sector according to a progressive scale of occurrences, mapped through colors, in order to evaluate the quality of hydraulic model as a whole, correcting deviations so that it efficiently reproduces the actual behavior of the distribution network. Through this, it is expected to evaluate the consequences of variation of pressure and flows during the day, supporting decision-making, allowing the evaluation of the options and the reduction of unnecessary risks and investments.

Among them, there is the precision horticulture. Pear is from mild weather and it is very appreciate by brazilian people, although its greatest consumed percentile is imported. Thus, this trial aimed at mapping spatial variability of chemical attributes from soil (P, K, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Ca, Mg, pH, C and base saturation), of the plant (fruit length and diameter) as well as the pear trees yield in a commercial pear plants area. The experimental field had 146 pear plants, var. Pêra d água , distributed on a 1.24 ha area. Four harvest procedures were performed according to fruit maturation. In each harvest, the weight of all mature fruits per plant was computed, while the total yield was obtained by the sum of each crop. Hence, the soil attributes analyzed were: P, K, Ca, Mg, pH, CaCl2, C, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn and base saturation, while the plants attributes were: length, diameter and yield. The pear yield had low correlation with soil attributes. Levels of spatial dependence were found to be very low (fruit length), low (P, fruit diameter), medium (Mg, pH, Cu, Zn, Fe), high (Ca, K, bases saturation and yield), and very high (Mn and C), according to the spatial variability index (SVI, %), as it is proposed in this study. / Nos últimos anos, as pesquisas em agricultura de precisão têm focado outras culturas, além dos cereais comumente pesquisados. Dentre elas está a fruticultura de precisão. A pêra é uma das frutas de clima temperado mais preferidas pelos brasileiros, contudo a maior parte consumida é importada. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi mapear a variabilidade espacial dos atributos químicos do solo (P, K, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn, Ca, Mg, pH, C e saturação por bases), da planta (comprimento e diâmetro do fruto) e da produtividade de pereiras em uma área comercial produtora de pêras. A área experimental contou com 146 pereiras, da variedade Pêra D água, distribuídas em uma área de 1,24 ha. Foram realizadas quatro colheitas, em função da maturação dos frutos. Em cada colheita, foi realizada a pesagem de todos os frutos obtidos e a produtividade total foi obtida pela soma das colheitas individuais. Os atributos do solo analisados foram: P, K, Ca, Mg, pHCaCl2, C, Cu, Zn, Fe, Mn e saturação de bases, e os das plantas foram: comprimento, diâmetro e produtividade. A produtividade das pereiras apresentou baixa correlação com os atributos analisados. Foram encontrados níveis muito baixos de dependência espacial (comprimento do fruto), baixo (P, diâmetro do fruto), médio (Mg, pH, Cu, Zn, Fe), alto (Ca, K, saturação de bases e produtividade) e muito alto (Mn e C), segundo o índice de variabilidade espacial (IVE, %), proposto neste trabalho.
